Nail’s Attraction

Skip this place. Seriously. My friend and I walked in on Saturday to get shellac manicures, the whole process took about 30 minutes. I think they just wanted us in and out. We both had nail polish all over our fingers and since shellac is basically baked on she couldn’t get it off and blamed us for not telling her earlier. She cut my finger multiple times, and didn’t even clean my nails properly. In the middle she got up with no explanation put on her coat and walked out the front door and didn’t return for a good five minutes. They were very unapologetic, this is entirely the worst manicure I have EVER had. No doubt about it. If I could I’d give it no stars I would. I also question the sanitation of this place…

I went for a pedi-​mani and ended up with damaged, bleeding fingers. The lady doing my manicure said it was because I have «dry skin» and that she didn’t know my fingers would bleed if she «cut» my cuticles. Wait a minute — they «cut» cuticles, instead of just pushing them back?! She should have stopped when she noticed the 1^st finger bleeding but proceeded to injure 2 more. I have posted pics of the damaged fingers. She would not even give me a band aid when I asked for 1 to stop the bleeding…

I used to go every two weeks and they would not remember me ever. I may not be much to look at, but I found it odd that they couldn’t be bothered to even remember who their regulars are.
The manicures were decent but never lasted more than a week without needing more work.
They tend to seem as if they don’t want to be there– they just chat in Vietnamese to each other the whole time, which, I have no problem with anyone speaking another language but it did make me feel excluded and as if I was interrupting them with my business.
I’ve never trusted their cleanliness– everything seems scattered and thrown around.

It’s not that bad of a place… Its small and cramped. Its a «get that shit done» type of place. Please do not expect this place to be some high-​end type of nail salon. If you want that then I suggest not to do your nails at this location… Bye Felicia! The lady that did my UV gel nails did an amazing job shaping my nails perfectly, and I wish I did a shellac … But oh well. They don’t have a huge variety when it comes to air brushing nails… So sorry ladies you cannot do gold French manicure tips! They do acrylic, UV gel, and bio gel nails at this location unlike the 666 yonge location. Their Mani +pedi is $ 35 and they did a good job! They are nice and extremely polite, and they act awkward when you tip them. But damnnn gurl you can’t do tropical bunny, little mermaid, copa cabana nails ghetto nails!

Worst manicure pedicure ever!!! They rushed and we’re done both in 30 min and my nails were not filed smooth and they were rough and they cut the cuticle on my baby finger and had hardly any colors to choose from. I left soo upset I had no color on my nails and the worst was when I was paying for this horrific mani/​pedi I seen them using the same foot bath not washing and cleaning it out on someone else and the same tools! I would never ever, ever recommend this establishment ever again!

I went there for about 2 years. Always the same 2 girls and it was adequate. The pedicure lady remembers I have an ingrown big toe nail. Always cuts it back nicely.
This last time she did she hurt me really bad, I yelled. I had to wait about 20 mins for them cause I learned they also own a shop at 666 Yonge St a few doors away and had to finish a job there. They walked in with each a cosmetic bag (any time to sanitize equipment?, I think not). The next day my toe was RED and there was a white puss inflammation on the side of my toe. Thank the Lord I knew about 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, soaked for a few days. It is better now but if I stop treating the problem returns in days. Now I have to go to a Podiatrist and see what can be done. Never again will I go to a salon, period.

I got the fastest manicure ever. maybe 3 minutes? like wtf. they did not even put that special cream on my cuticules before cutting them. And it is far faaar from a nice manicure. And no massage, no hot towel, etc. I really don’t like when they are rushing. I did acrylic for the first time, I guess that was fine. Vivian seemed to have experience applying the powder. Nevertheless, I don’t like my new acrylic nails, they are too thick and wide, eventhough I told her I wanted them narrow. But that’s ok. I am just experiencing a little bit of pain and preassure on my nail beds and the actual fingers. I hope it will go away soon. (Price — acrylic with white tips + «manicure» (if you I can dare calling it a manicure) — $ 35

It’s not so bad, it’s small, but they still have a reasonable selection of colours including shellac. They also do hair.
The service is good, polite and friendly, talkative if you’re the type.
I got a pedicure and no-​colour manicure. There aren’t many ways to mess up a pedicure, and they did a pretty good job.
It’s a good place for quick and urgent mani/​pedi

I have been going to this place for years to get waxed. They do good waxing but every time I have gotten my nails done it has been a horrible experience. I just got my nails done today and I remembered again why I do not get it done there. I got shellac and asked for lilac color and I ended up with pink on my nails. Not only that, she did not do a good job and had an attitude. From my experiences, I do NOT recommend them for nails.

Dirty cramped nail «salon» with children running around (the children of the nail artists…)
They charge $ 30 for UV nails and do a good job though.
Don’t go here if you want the spa experience.

This place may not be the most luxurious but they do such a wonderful job on my nails. I’ve gone to many other places in the city from Civello to more fancy places uptown and paid a bundle for my nails and the never look as nice as they do when I leave Nail’s Attraction and most of the time, a mani/​pedi with design or french tips is only $ 40 for both, so I give them an even $ 50 and let them pocket the rest. Most times I just walk in without an appointment, unless it’s close to the weekend.
The guy who does the gel nails (I don’t remember his name) does such a fabulous job. They always look breathtaking, but getting them removed is painful for me and I don’t like how weak my nails are afterwards, so I only have them done for very special occasions.
True, this place is kind of a dump, but I’ve been coming here for over 7 years and have always been satisfied. I’ve never had a better mani/​pedi anywhere. So if you need all the frills and décor, you’ll be horrified at this place. But if you simply want beautiful nails and toes, done quickly and for a great price then look no further.
Oh– they only take cash, so make sure to hit the bank machine before you go.

This place is pretty mediocre, but you get what you pay for. The women that work here are quite nice, but I felt that my manicure was much more rushed than at other places.
The place itself is a dump and I was almost afraid to go in for fear of hepatitis, but I guess saving money is more important to me than my health. (We all have our priorities.)
All-​in-​all, I probably won’t go back and will go to the Nail Station instead. It’s $ 10 more for a mani/​pedi combo, but the quality is just so much better and the place is gorgeous inside.

I would be HAPPY to be the first to review this…
I used to go to this place all the time. I am a loyal customer that likes to support my local business and go to a place with friendly faces. I went here for about 3 years and then it gradually became more and more of a dump.
The quality of their gels, polish, whatever you are getting is horrible. I won’t even walk by there anymore. The very last time I got my nails done there, I had to go back 4 times in a week to get them redone because they were turning yellow and chipping. Gross, right?
I’ve since switched nail places, I go to this awesome one, great prices, awesome staff and excellent materials. If anyone would like to know where, feel free to drop me a line!
