Nails On Yonge

Been here about 10 – 15 times. Hit and miss nail salon. Booking in advance DOES NOT help as I’ll still end up wait 10 – 15 before anyone starts working on your nails.
Pro: lots of colour to choose from for shellac. A couple good technician. Pedicure was good, massage chair was comfortable.
Con: the wait time. Bleeding cuticles from one the the girls.

It really is a hit or miss for this place. The owner is very talented, but if you want relaxing service, get it done by one of the senior workers from there.

This has become my go-​to nail salon in the downtown Toronto area. It’s a great little place with staff who know what they’re doing, and also an AMAZING price point for a bio gel mani. It can get quite busy, so call ahead!
If you’re looking for the diva treatment, this place is not for you. If you just want pretty nails at a reasonable price, this is your place! They treat their regulars well, and will remember your name & how you like your nails done. It can be a very hectic place if you’re used to the high end nail salons with calming spa music.
You ABSOLUTELY MUST ask for Emily or Pinky! They’re great with bio gel manis on both extensions or your own nails. No offence to the other girls. but I only trust those two with my nails.

This place seems like it could be a hit or miss for most people, so of course my girlfriends and I decided to try it out. We all didn’t have a great experience, and I’ll break it down so it (hopefully!) won’t be too long. Skip to the last paragraph, if you want the SparkNotes version of this review!
Me (Pedicure Only) — The lady who did the actual pedicure portion was lovely, I was talking to my friends and she just had to rearrange my position once in a while cuz I’d get excited about something. The girl who did my polish colour… ohhh mannnn… I don’t know if she was in a huge rush or something, but she took those cuticle cutters to me like the Road Runner was chasing her. It got to the point where it was a bit pain because of how hard and fast she was going (pun unintended, but I’ll keep it just for humour sake). She painted my nails quickly and then just left me there with the feet fan. I figured that since I was waiting for my friends (they were both getting mani + pedi) it made sense for me to stay in my chair. But she never came back to see if they were dry, some other girl did. I get that they were busy, but the customer service just isn’t there. On the plus side, I got to stay in a massage chair for almost 1.5 hours… my shoulders have never felt so relaxed!
Friend #1 (Mani + Pedi) — I’ve never heard her complain SO much about one place before. She’s an aesthetician herself, so she knows what’s supposed to go down. Her pedi was so-​so, nothing she found amazing. Her mani though… Geez Louise! Her cuticles and nails were so uneven to the point that, when the girl servicing her left, my friend took the file and tried to fix her nails. The girl that my friend had kept on looking up at the door to see who was coming in and kept filing my friend’s nails, simultaneously. How crazy is that?! Obviously, it won’t be even if you’re not looking at what you’re doing. Anyways, my friend ended up not painting her hand nails because she was that unsatisfied with her service.
Friend #2 (Mani + Pedi) — This girlfriend is also an aesthetician and the girl she had was pretty good. She was friendly and polite and would chime into our conversation once in a while. The paint job was pretty good, and I didn’t hear my friend complain. Not much to tell on this one.
Overall, I’d say it’s a hit or miss. Unfortunately, it’s about who you get for your service (s). The price point isn’t terrible, but I think you can find other places that are around the same and maybe better customer service.

I’ve been told before not to trust nail salons downtown just because they tend to rush their customers in and out so that they could make more business but this was a whole new experience.
The reason I had even bothered to try this place was because my nails needed a change ASAP before work that night and I had an hour to spare before my next lecture began so I went in, there weren’t a lot of selection to begin but the place didn’t look dirty… just I’ve seen better.
The lady who did my nails didn’t try to make or even keep a conversation so we both just sat there in silence and what scared me the most was when she pulled out the cuticle nipper which previously HAD cuticles on them and she just wiped it off onto my towel… this is extremely unprofessional and more importantly unsanitary.
The top coat she left on top of my nail color resulted in bubbles on two nails and all-​in-​all one of the worst nail nightmares I’ve ever experienced.
If you’re looking for a sanitary and relaxing environment, this is NOT the place for you.

Great for shellac mani and pedis, correct amount of staff working to allot for larger groups.
Love that they use natural seaweed products on the hands that are less damaging than harsh chemicals. Great selection of new colours (shellac at least).
Went with two friends, only two of our three massage chairs were working.
All in all efficient, clean job, I would come back next time I’m in town.

This nail place is not the greatest. I went in for a nail repair and come out of the shop with a nail not properly shaped and filled. I went in at 6pm. The lady looked at my chipped nail and told me to glue it. I insisted she take it off and redo it. I was seated and she began to fix my nail. The worst repair in the world. One layer of gel builder ever so thin and she didnt even it out thoroughly so i am left with a dent the lower portion of the nail. The worst part of the process was when she insisted she put on top coat when she did not. Through out the process she kept asking me if I got them done at her shop and then she asked another lady to come look at my nails. WHAT IS UP? This place is down right rude. THEIR QUALITY IN NAILS IS HORRIBLE! id rather drive back up to Vaughan and get my nails done RIGHT!

Found this place via Unilocal,saw good reviews so thought I’d give it a shot. Worst pedi experience ever! Technician cut both of feet by scrubbing too hard. Polish was applied uneven. Will not go back again waste of $ 25 and 45 mins of my time.

$ 35 for mani and pedi and you don’t have to pay cash… Excellent job too. They also have the massage chairs

Great experience getting a gel mani and regular pedi here. Was visiting from out of town and they fit me and my friend in without appointments. Prices are reasonable. Seems clean. Pleasant experience and nice looking results. Would definitely return.

After being disappointed continuously with my nails by several nail salons, I was pleasantly surprised with my BioGel Fill by Pinky! She was so precise and really took her time fixing up my nails. They looked great and the price was too :)

I’ve gone there twice and they are were amazing both times. Great mani /​pedi combo and Camilla was awesome– super nice and friendly ladies working there! I got the shellac/​BSG and it lasted 4 weeks my first time

I love this place! It was late at night and I needed my nails done and I walked in, the lady was closing but stayed and did my nails. They’re very clean and the staff are very skilled and professional and are really nice and precise with their work. They fix the nail for you before you even notice anything wrong with it. Always a good experience. I always get shellac on my nails, it’s 20 $ for a color change, my nails always last past the 2 weeks. There’s never a wait, which is always a plus

just dropped in for the first time to get my bio gel redone and im really impressed! I always pass by this place but never went in until today… it’ll clean, the ladies who work lovely and very talented and attentive, and they have a wide array of services. It’s great!

I got a gel manicure ($ 30) in ‘Coconut’ colour.
My first time getting a manicure, and it was a last minute decision and was really happy!
My friend and I saw the ratings on Unilocal and it was close by and good cheap prices and it was perfect!
I had no idea what to expect but I loved it and I love my nails!
I plan on coming back!

This is a great little nail salon.
I stopped by this weekend for a manicure & pedicure with my sister and was really pleased with the service. The ladies doing our nails were really friendly and sweet. My only complaint was they rushed a bit at the end, but it was a Saturday afternoon and there were a bunch of people waiting.
The manicure/​pedicure combination was just $ 35.
Overall, worth a visit.

I came into the salon at 6:30 and they were to have closed at 6:00-the open light was still on, people were still inside. I asked to get a regular mani/​pedi $ 35 and the lady that greeted me assured it was okay and there was plenty of time to do it-​which was awesome. Although that was the best part, there was another customer in the salon that everyone (including the lady doing my nails) paid more attention to the entire time. They hurried me out the door so fast that both my big toe nails were messed up by the time I got to the car and the worst part my feet have been super itchy since I got home. Didn’t seem to clean, kinda sad it seems to be a nice spa– won’t return.
