I recommend Axxium Nail Lounge. I brought my daughter here for an acrylic fill. Their services were top notch and their prices are reasonable. read more

Annie Nail Spa - New set, nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Disclaimer: i have the ugliest feet ever. i hate them and if you happen to see them, well, our relationship (love/ hate/ or in between) has gone to a new level. I think these past couple of months has yielded the ugliest state-of-feet ever (in the history of the world!!), with both my large toenails cracking off. Bleagh! Vicky made them beautiful with an oh so relaxing pedicure ($30) which included added faux nails. Fake nails cost $10/ each, but since I did two, she dropped the price down to $15 together. She totally smoothed the fakies out so that they were actually indistinguishable from my nail; definitely not your standard nail salon where they have a thick ugly fake nail that is clearly fake. Actually, I called Axxium back in February because of my hideous feet situation and Vicky was super accommodating, letting me imsg her a photo of my feet/ making non greedy suggestions for how I should let my nails grow back naturally/ without covering them up/ inviting all sorts of infections. Making an appointment was a breeze, and the salon itself is beautiful. Large, airy, with 5 nail stations and 4 massage chair pedi stations... this is by far my nail salon favourite in Vancouver. Yelpers, you're welcome. read more

Vickee is amazing! I've been seeing her for almost 3 years now! On and off of course. I get solar nails and her nail art is amazing! I've also gotten regular gel polish and they last for at least 4 weeks! read more

WOW! I had the pleasure of having Emily work on my nails. She was very professional and pleasant. When she accidently ripped one of my cuticles too roughly and my finger started to bleed, she immediately apologized, sanitized, and closed the wound. It wasn't a big deal for me to bleed a little but that reaction made me feel very confident in their sanitation. They have an extensive selection of gel colors (even thermo gel! How cool is that?) I think it's worth to note that you can select up to 5 colors for your manicure and they don't charge extra! Most other nail salons would nickel and dime you to death! Koodos. I also appreciated that Emily informed me how much my bows are going to cost prior to installation. I mean other salons would just put it on for you and who knows if there's a little surprise waiting for you on the bill? Excellent value for the professionalism that you get. I had shellac removal (free with manicure), gel manicure, and 2 bows for a total of $48 including tax. Let's see how long these nails will last me, I'll definitely be back! Side note: There's no designated parking stalls here, only street parking is available, go early to find spots! read more

A 3 star experience, not a hint more. I tried this place for nails based on a friend's suggestion as my usual nail technician wasn't around. The lady that did my nails was a reasonably friendly young woman that did a reasonable job. Pedicure was decent (3.5/5), gel manicure was average (2.5/5) - it was obvious she was just doing what she was instructed, nothing more. The atmosphere in this nail place seemed a little bit tense to me: there was a woman that looked to be of Asian descent that might have been an owner/manager, who to me seemed to think she "knew everything" so customer should deign to question her - I'm glad I didn't have her doing my nails. Wasn't bad since I didn't end up with any cuts, nail infections or other problems from the services I had, I always feel so bad for people that have those terrible experiences. But not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to, the atmosphere really wasn't something I enjoyed. read more

I felt compelled to say something after reading that others are having the same issues with Vicky. Don't waste your time going here. It will just be a matter of time before she flys off the handle at you too. She has no concept of how to treat customers. She is very disrespectful, rude, unprofessional and makes people feel uneasy. I was humiliated and embarrassed beyond belief when she told me not to bother coming back again - all because I couldn't find parking making me 5 minutes late for my appointment. All I was having done was a repair to one nail that would have taken her 5 minutes to do. Its been a year and just as well as found a great place closer to home. read more

Positives: plenty of great colours! Chrome, matte, nudes, etc. Customer relations was good. Negatives: messy paint job (missed edges for both of us), sloppy cutting (my toes bled!!), way too pricy for its quality of work (140$+ for gel mani pedi and my friend's gel Chrome nails), also still dealing with my toes that hurt once in a while :/ Not coming back. read more

So an update, I had an appointment for 5pm and was delayed at work - called to let them know I would be 10mins late and they said they wouldn't have enough time and so I rescheduled for the next day. Next day, heading to the appointment the traffic was really bad coming from downtown, called to let them know I was unfortunately stuck in traffic and they basically said don't bother coming in, was told that because I already rescheduled yesterday that I wouldn't be able to reschedule again and they wouldn't be able to accommodate me if I was late. I was like WTF? Although I understand that being late is not good, at least I had the courtesy to inform them. It was just appalling their attitude and I am really not happy with how I was treated here. I do not recommend this place. Go somewhere else. read more

This is the first place where I've seen them use a cover for the pedicure bowl thing on the massage chairs. That alone is enough to make me prefer this place over all the others! I come here for a mani-pedi every time I'm back in town, and it's always such a pleasant experience. I've requested Emily (Emery?) the past couple of times because she's basically perfect with her pedicure and her manicure. I've never had any nail technician pay as much attention as she did to the care of my hands and feet! I would give this place over five stars if I could! I miss this place when I'm back in Toronto. read more

Service just a bit above your average chop shop. Mediocre mani/pedi service. Don't expect a warm welcome upon arrival and the pedi lacks the foot massage. Going to stick with A&T nails where the service is great and the staff is friendly. read more

Just an update from my previous entry, which although posted a few days ago was based on an experience in May. Today I was ready for the same experience as last time, and must say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The service was MUCH better, and during my pedicure I got some great tips for avoiding callouses on my feet. I am happy to give Axxium a five-star review, and will attribute last time as just a bad day for everyone (myself included). read more

All time favorite nail salon! (I've gone to many nail salons and I'm also VERY picky and pay attention to small details) The shaping is quite consistent and even, the way the acrylic is applied is wondering it's a good thickness and also the designs are well done!! Very happy with my first time experience with Vicky, highly recommended this place :) read more

This place has horrible customer service. They have regulars who they favour and are just overall very rude. I went here for a while always tipped so high never anything less than 25-30 percent. I once had to cancel because I just had the flu. A couple months later I had an appointment and had to cancel because I got called into work. They were horribly rude and said I had been cancelling a lot lately when in reality I cancelled months ago. When I called in the lady at the front desk talked to me like I was an idiot I even offered paying a fee for cancellation but she was very unprofessional and very rude I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone they were very rude and I was treated like garbage price doesn't match quality read more

A really nice place. Vicki (excuse my possible incorrect spelling) was patient in explaining how to properly put my hands in the UV lamp, and I also really liked how she compared each nail from each hand together to make sure each each hand was balanced. My gels with extensions were $60 (kinda pricey), with a 10% off student discount. Would come again. read more

Further Update: This is the second time they squished me in Cuz my polish wasn't satisfactory. Both Vicky & Emily are amazing! UPDATE: They were able to squeeze me in the next day, and touched up my thumb quickly! They also said I can stay as long as I need till it dries. Thank you, Emily & Vicky! I will be back, for sure! Previous review: There are a lot of good reviews about this place, so I gave them a try. Emily worked on my nails, and did a really fast, fantastic job. I called ahead to ask about how they clean & sanitize their tools. I was very impressed that they sterilize them well, they use separate tools for hands & feet, and they use disposable files each time! Yay! The new location is great, small, and clean. They are offering 20% right now for the new opening! Park around back, on one of the side streets. What was lacking for me is that the attitude once my service was done. Whilst I waited for my nails to dry, it seemed like they wanted me out of there ASAP. Even though there were no other clients there, I was completely ignored. Emily checked my nails, and sent me off too early, even though I knew it was too early & said so. I brought my own polish, including top coat...a brand notorious for taking forever to dry. Well, I was sent off before they were dry, and I've already wrecked my thumb on my drive home :( I hope that they can fix it tomorrow. And I hope that they'll listen to the client when they say "it's not dry yet, I know this brand well." Good news: they can fit me in tomorrow! read more

@ Axxium Nail Lounge lol why is it that my acrylics were perfectly fine until I got a fill from your salon?all my nails except for one of them were only a fill and one was a fresh nail, so you'd expect itd be in better shape that the others right? Wrong! So much lifting on that single nail and it hurts like hell so I'm under the impression I may have a fungal infection under the only nail that your salon did, not only that but the next DAY after getting these (disclosure: I do not chew my nails) all the gel polish started to peel off, and it was an all around shitty manicure for $70! Seventy Canadian dollars!!! The original mami I had done only cost $35 and lasted a lot better than these. Not only all of this technical stuff regarding my nails was just terrible, the girl who did them was kinda rude... NEVER GO HERE PEOPLE read more

I had a good experience with my manicurist in that she did a good job with my gel nails. Went here a number of times until I found their attitude to be unwelcoming to say the least. They behave as if you are to work around their schedule - very rigid about moving your appt and punitive ie want to charge you for trying to change time or are running late. I stopped going here as did my friend who I recommended the place to. Simply too many options where you will be treated better. Not friendly, awkward at times during mani pedi. Clean little place that's very orderly but that's just it, feels like it's run by someone with OCD. So rules over customer relations. Made me feel like they don't care about the customer - value policies and procedures more than customer relations. read more

I have been here a few times and it's mostly been great. They seem to use quality materials, a good selection of polishes, and definitely know what they're doing! Get the owner, Vicky, if you can, but at least chat her up when you come in so the other technicians get a sense that you are a regular. Generally, though, they don't fuss over you here. But if what you're after is beautiful nails, this is an excellent choice. read more

The ladies here were great with my mum and I and I can't tell you the last time I had a manicure that didn't chip within a few days. I would have given them 5 stars if they had offered us beverages. We were there for almost 2 hours but I was too shy to ask for a drink :) We just got basic mani-pedis but they do really cool nail art and have a huge range of colours to chose from. read more

Hidden gem in south east van, right beside petro can. The interior is really well decorated, bright and the selection of Polish is great. What really makes this place stand out is the excellent service and strong attention to detail. Got the mani pedi and never felt rushed. It was very relaxed and I am super happy with the results! Worth coming to instead of places like pure nail bar and the mall salons. read more

My first time there and I had Susan as my nail technician. She is great! Very patience, paid a lot of attention to small details and cheerful! I had a pedicure which looks perfect! My feet feel so soft after the scrub and massage! Salon is a small one but location is great and salon is very tidy and clean. will need street parking. Staffs and Vicky are very friendly. read more

Annie Nail Spa - My first pedicure, by Susan - Nail Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have tried everything to contact this salon to make an appointment and they have never answered the phone or respond to my messages/emails. Their Instagram says do not message but rather call to make appointment, well guess what, can't do that either because they refuse to answer the phone. read more

I came to this location on May 9th for mothers day. It was my first time there with my mom, grandma, and sister. We loved it there! I got an acrylic manicure by the owner she was very nice and did a really good job I would recommend her. She had her really cute dog there. The pricing was decent and im planning to go there next time! read more

Annie Nail Spa - Coffin shaped nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Have only been twice and found the quality of work ok, but with downtown prices - higher than expected. Customer service is definitely lacking and I found Vicky (the owner) to be quite rude and unprofessional. I called for a nail repair but got the impression she didn't have time for smaller jobs. Whenever I tried calling lately, I got the fax machine. When I finally got thro, I was going to request Emily do my nails instead, but she had been told by Vicky to tell me I wasn't welcome at the salon (this after 2 visits for solar nails). Quite shocking! When I asked why, Emily couldn't say. I can't believe how unprofessional Vicky is and perhaps she has done me a favor as being near her felt toxic anyway. If anyone knows of another place in the area, please let me know. Thanks. read more

Axxium is the reason why I get my nails done on a regular basis. I use to only get a shellac mani and pedi on my birthday, but when I discovered Axxium I was very pleased with the quality and service. They have the biggest selection in gel polish colours. Vicki and Emily are the best! read more

Vicki is the nail goddess here at Axxium. Whatever you want, she'll do. She does amazing freehand and the nails last for over 3 weeks (I'm used to nails only lasting 2 weeks), so that's a plus for me.. as someone who types all day, washes dishes without gloves, and is in general pretty rough with my hands (*wink*). It's a very cute salon and close to my house as well. read more

I had been going to Axxium Nail Lounge since it opened on Victoria and 49th, and had referred many of my friends and family there as well. The quality and service was amazing, and I thought I had built a friendly relationship with Vicki and Emily. Unfortunately after a couple of years, the longer I went there the worse of an experience I had. The customer service got poorer. Vicky and Emily would be very inconsistent, rude, and unprofessional. The quality of the work also shifted with quick turnover of new employees. Also, any mention of my nails needing fixing would be countered with anger. My last straw was when I called in advance to cancel my appointment as I was unwell. I was spoken to very rudely and hung up on. I would not recommend this place as the quality and service does not match the price. read more

I've been to many places for pedicures but there's no one I trust as much as Emily. I used to be so hesitant pointing out my sore toes because it just ends up hurting 10x more but Emily knows what she's doing!! The salon is clean, girls are nice & bonus - the chairs for pedicures are massage chairs! This will always be my go to place. :) read more

Even though Vicki does a pretty decent job, her price is the same as other nail salons and so I would suggest you check out another place instead. The biggest draw back and reason why I will NOT be going back there is that Vicki is rude, cold, and very unfriendly. She scolded me in front of other clients for asking to get something simple done saying there wasn't time, when in fact she spent the first 15mins of my appointment trying to fix her TV, and in addition to having changed my appointment on me the day before. If you want great nails, good price and wonderful service, check out Crescent Nail Spa, Varnish Nails, or A&T Nails...you'll be much happier! read more

This a hidden gem of a place is amazing. Clean little place. Came in for a mani pedi for my daughter and myself but they could not accommodate us till later in the day. We just got mani's instead. Got a gel polish and it was great. The owner was attentive and listened to my needs. I will def come back. My new nail place read more

Have to rate 1 star as I cannot rate 0!! Manager Vicky (the owner) does not know how to treat customers - as she was very rude and unprofessional. Asked for a short nails - without her asking for the length I preferred she completely chopped it down after I spent sooo long growing them out. My friend and I had a COMMON human mistake where we mixed up 2 of the techs. name as they never properly told us their names as they were not welcoming nor had interest in greeting us. For the whole time they were doing our nails - the manager kept making side comments about us, making us feel belittled, and did not care for our nails after that humanly common mistake. I left the with crooked uneven, different length nails - in which I was extremely unhappy with as she kept pushing me to choose the color she thought was more "natural" it looked horrible and worst than when I stepped in. Not worth the treatment you get for the price they charge - I do not recommend this place. Go somewhere else!!!! read more

I gave this place another try for a pedicure. - bad choice. I got somebody new this time, (nice enough)but came away with heaps of dry skin on my heels and no trimming around the nails. I knew I should have said something - I did about one of the toe nails still needed cutting, but that Vicki scares me! She was walking around the salon. I was in the chair for less than 45 mins. and usually it takes about one hour for a pedi. My pedi looked like something I could have done, I should have and saved my money. I will not go back there again, even though the location is great for me and it`s very clean looking. I always look forward to my pedicures, but this time I was let down, knowing I was gutless to say something that I was not happy with the job. I did not tip and that`s about all I did do! read more

This is my first time here and I am impressed! The place nice and tidy when I arrived and not too busy. The girl who did my nails, Susan, was super friendly and made me feel welcomed. I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she did exactly that. She took her time and made sure the foundation of the acrylics were perfect before applying the colours. And throughout the process she would ask me if the shape was okay, the colours, etc, which I appreciate. In the end my nails came out beautifully! Susan did an amazing job and I will definitely be coming back here! :) read more

I had a really bad experience here. I went in for a shellac manicure pedicure. Right off the bat the owner of the salon was quite rude to me. I had asked for nail repair during my manicure, the esthetitian said they could be repaired and proceeded to use super glue to repair them. That night, I noticed my nails were still broken. The next day, my shellac nail polish started to chip. I called the following day and asked if I could come in to get these two nails fixed. The owner used an incredibly rude tone and said that I would have to pay for another manicure for that to be done. I went to pure nail spa instead where they fixed them for $5 and where I learned that nail repair is not simply slapping super glue on the break. Do not recommend!! Pure nail spa is amazing though. read more

I heard good things about this place, but i was very disappointed with the quality of work. I came in for a shellac manicure and the girl who did my manicure cut my cuticles so short, both my thumbs were bleeding. Also my shellac lasted less than 1 week. She painted my nails so close to the edges all of them were peeling after 3 days. I would not recommend this place, girls were very nice, but the quality was not good. read more

They do a decent job, however the workers are very rude. I felt very belittled by the owner (Vicky?) and her and the rest of her staff were extremely unprofessional. They were talking bad about another customer right in front of me. I just found them all to be stuck up and rude. Will never go back again. read more

My nails looked nice at the end of my service except my nail technician cut my pinky finger so bad it started bleeding and all she said was "oops" and kept doing my nails. Won't be going back. read more

I've been coming here for all my mani/ pedis once I found out how amazing their quality is! My regular manis last for 2 weeks without chipping, and I am sure my pedis would last forever if my nails did not grow out. I find the customer service to be lacking, and the environment to be rather unfriendly at times, but their work is great. read more

If you're looking for a new nail salon, Axxium is the holy grail. Vicky is very welcoming, friendly and is super talented at what she does. My nails have never looked better! I've been coming here for almost two years and have left happy every single time. On the rare occasion I've chipped or broken a nail, they are always able to squeeze me in by the next day with no problem. I've only had Emily and Susan do my nails once or twice but they are both great too! read more
