Kitsila Nails

I got my lashes done at their West 10^th location.
Lots of glue was getting into my eyes; by the time we finished our session my eyes were cloudy red. The lash technician assured me that my eyes will get less red as the evening passes by. I’ve been getting my lashes done for 8 years and this is not normal; I attributed it to the fact that when she taped my bottom lashes, she had done it too roughly and pulled my lid too far down thereby exposing my eye and getting glue in there. I made a note to let the lash technician know what I need when I go in next time.
When I woke up in the morning, boy was my eye irritated.
It’s two weeks later and I cannot stop rubbing my left eye. The lashes they use at this location is more similar to plastic than to hair, so my eyelids are often poked and the roots are swollen.
I’m sure they do great nails but I would not come here for lash extensions unfortunately. The ladies are nice and they mean well, but $ 60 for a false sense of immunity to losing one’s eyesight after she’s drenching your retinas in glue and lash extensions that are of such poor quality that your eyelid is flirting with a rash isn’t worth the money!

I have been going to Kitslanails for over 4 years. In between, I have tried other salons but I keep coming back to Kitslanails because their results are the best. I get shellac and pedicures and my nails literally never break or chip. They always do cute designs on my pedicures, and prices are very reasonable. The ladies that work there always make me feel special and take great care. Would highly recommend it!

I walked by and decided to get my nails done. This place accepts walk-​ins, and best paid in cash. The seating is okay and the ladies there were nice. I only wanted a regular Mani. The price for a regular Mani is $ 20 before tax and tips. This I would say is market price in the area for a Mani. The quality of the Mani, I would say is good better than one I had back in my hometown, Ottawa, at a similar nail salon. Overall my experience was good.

I got gelish nails here (They call this service shellac though but they use the gelish brand instead of the CND brand) and I absolutely love the results! There are many colours to choose from and the two ladies working there are very sweet. They do take same day appointments so if you’re looking for a last minute mani definitely try out this place. I would definitely be back!
Also, if you want to save on taxes pay with cash instead of credit card. It’s no tax if you pay with cash :)

I had come here a couple times before and everything was fine. But today was a completely different story. I asked for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. I had 2 different girls work on me, I could tell the one that was doing my hands was really focusing, but that got me a little worried as she was extra slow and guess what OUCH she cut me! It hurt like heck and was bleeding. It didn’t really seem to phase her. She grabbed a little bottle of blue stuff. Did a dab dab and said «it will stop bleeding soon». Uhhhh thanks no it didn’t stop bleeding and then OUCH again. Another cut! Clearly she was new at this didn’t have a clue. I had stop her half way through the manicure and just ask her to paint my nails. I didn’t want to take the chance of her cutting me again.
As for the pedicure, it was meh. The absolute most basic pedicure you could have. Guess I should be happy with that. No cuticle cutting… so no more cuts! Also found it so annoying that the girl had to keep stopping so she could answer the phone or help customers that were walking in. I’m sticking to crescent nails or modern nails which are both close by. Thanks, but no thanks. Never again.

This is my favorite mani/​pedi place ever! The girls are all so sweetsnd funny! they always do a fab job on my crazy feet every month. I would totally recommend all of these ladies to my girl friends. Lots of colors to choose from. Great place to catch up on gossi with girlfriends on a weekend afternoon!

So, I have been looking for a nail artist in vancouver for sooo long! I finally found her here! I was a walk in and showed them my reference photo of what I wanted. They introduced me to Ha who said she could do them. She was very sweet, and easily the most detail oriented nail tech I have ever had. She spent so much time making sure the shape, design and length were perfect. And the end result? Better than the picture I brought in! After so much care and attention the final cost was $ 55! I am beyond satisfied. Thank you Ha for the perfect nails!

Love all the ladies here, whenever I have any issues (cracks, etc) they fix for free. Always take same day Appt’s and have many choices of Shellac colour. Also let me bring my dog into the salon :)

Good for just a basic pedi. Don’t expect too much though. You definitely feel like just a number to them. Don’t pay extra for massage. Not worth it all. Especially when the gal is watching the tv the whole time and half assing it… Ah well, You get what you pay for!

They kindly got me in fir a Last minute appointment on a Sunday. Great results. Staff– Lovely, professional and polite. Beautiful Shellac nails with no issues to report. Definitely going back again.

Okay, ladies (and gentlemen, if you’re into this kind of thing. Though, much like the gay man living inside of me, I’d probably still call you ladies, no matter your gender or sexual preference), I have a really hard time reviewing salons like this. Save for the cramped quarters, there’s really nothing remarkable about it. OPI polish in stock, above average sanitation standards, pretty average results, it’s all good… but there’s just no love from Kitsila.
My toes look great, but my poor rough heels are still pretty scraggly; and really, I don’t expect a massage when I get me a pedi but if you’re gonna give one, give a good one, know what I mean? (yes, this means that they will massage your legs while your nails dry).
So, I paid $ 35 for a pedicure that was booked no more than a few hours before. Meh, if I were in the neighbourhood and in a desperate need for an emergency polish, I’d probably go again. And probably still forget my sandals and probably will still have to look like an insane person as I wear their complimentary blue things all around Kits while I wait for my nails to dry.
But, haaay! My nails be did.

The best manicure I’ve had so far in Vancouver. Lasted over two weeks. Massage was really nice, and the staff were very friendly and chatty.
I’ll be back for sure !

I’m not a big manicure person. I find it really hard to justify spending the money on something that I like to think I could so myself but really, who am I fooling, I can barely stay in the lines when coloring in general. .don’t even get me started on my finger nails. However, I decided to treat myself to a manicure and it turned out great. I opted for the gel manicure and am very happy with the results. I ended up in the doorway seat but it was a beautiful sunny day and the salon wasn’t busy so I didn’t mind it. It’s not the most amazing service but for the price it was good enough for me.

Once again I fell for the upsale! My gel manicure lasted only a week:(Maybe my nails grow fast? You could see the re-​growth so I took them off myself.
Look on Youtube for removal instructions. Removal wasn’t that bad but my nails look worn out now. All the shine was buffed away.
Not worth it…
