Psst... hey, guys, gals, over here in the shadows. It's me. Wanna hear what I know about nail…read moresalons? Nothing. Not a damn thing. So here it is, mid-April in Calgary. Shouldn't the birds be singing, the flowers near bloom, the trees readying their leaves? Right, that was the week *before* I arrived. Now, it's 20 degrees, it's snowing, the wind is blowing 20 mph, and my feet are in a pedicure tub of hot water up to my ankles. I could care less about the weather. Bliss. Truth be known, I've had 4-5 pedicures and adored them all. This was one of the best, because 1) I was on vacation. 2) it was brutally cold, and 3) all I had to do was relax and enjoy it, and how I did. The ladies here are sweet as can be, very thorough, and the price is about 1/3 less than I'd expect to pay in the states. I'm sold. Sign me up for the next visit, please. My girls were here the day before and had their nails done which is in part surely how I arrived here. Glad I did. They also advertise other things I know very little about. Waxing, eyelashes, UV gel, and something called Solar Powder. I'll Google that later, thank you. No entry for them on Yelp? I'll fix that. This is an area with a lot of visitors from around Canada so why anyone in their right mind wouldn't want to enjoy this escapes me. Here I am, performing a public service. You're welcome. If you come. Major credit cards accepted. Stones throw from several nice restaurants, tea and coffee shops and a bit of shopping here and there. I can see this becoming part of a perfectly wasted day in my immediate future. Very highly recommended.

"A Nail Story" located in Kensington at : 314 10 St NW,…read moreCalgary AB T2N 1V8 LOVE this nail salon since day 1 as they've always been kind, friendly, welcoming and even offer everyone water & tea upon arrival. Services can be booked easily over the phone or from their website and they send a reminder text confirming your appointment which is super helpful!! My favourite type of nail service is with the Solar Powder line (see red / green nails in photos attached) which appear like literal glass on your hands, are super durable and are able to be formed to your nail bed into any desired shape. I used a nail extension as a tip then the solar powder on top and the gel colour for the top coat which has helped my otherwise weak nails to grow out while providing reliable beautiful strong nails that I can rely on working with various equipment/machinery/tools and cleaning supplies at my job. They are almost always right on schedule and cause clients to wait long, oftentimes even starting earlier than scheduled if their staff are free and have been willing to book on the same day which was very appreciated when I broke a nail while at work. Their bathroom, furniture, and all equipment/tools are kept super clean and the salon as a whole is tidy and well taken care of. Most times the space is accompanied by diverse music and lively conversations, though you're welcome to listen to your own music/audiobooks/other with your headphones. I personally prefer keeping my sunglasses on during my appointments as the lights and light coloured walls/tables are bright for me which has never been an issue to accommodate.

From the owner: “Manicure and Pedicure were not for everyone because it is for a luxury lifestyle.” that what we…read moreused to think about. One day, we heard one of my client said “If I could not work on my nails and feet, I feel like my live missing something. Gorgeous nails made me gain confidence and my feet can dance again after pedicure.” She also said that “ingrown toenail so painful make me cannot walk until I know pedicure and I understood why woman spend their money for this service.“ Thanks to the story, we began to perceive that Manicure and Pedicure benefit to everyone and It is becoming a day to day routine for many people who like to prevent infections, promote healthy blood circulation, boost nail health, reduce in back pain and improve mental health.

I recently went to this location for a lash lift and tint after having it done by my lash tech multiple times in the past. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I left this business with my lashes looking mediocre and very different than they usually do after having this service done elsewhere. The lashes are not equally separated & the tint used did NOTHING to dye my lashes, the colour looks no darker than when I walked in. Unfortunately I paid over $110 for this service (the lash tint was $23 alone). I will not be returning again for a lash lift & tint; however, I will continue to occasionally visit Frilly Lilly to get waxed.
