The Nail Boutique is a relatively compact nail salon that still manages to squeeze in all the…read moreamenities for manicures and pedicures. Note: if you pay in cash they give you 10% off after tax. I recently visited on a weekday evening for a colour change ($12), and they had a fairly comprehensive selection of nail polishes all efficiently displayed in a tall and narrow shelf. In terms of neutrals there was plenty for me to choose from, although the ones sitting on the very bottom shelf seemed old and visibly separating out. I happened to choose a colour that was an O.P.I "Infinite Shine 2", and was told it would cost me an additional $2 because of this polish's superior quality and shine. So, my colour change was now $14. The quality of the nail polish application was OK, but I'm not sure if the "Infinite Shine" nail polish was thicker and therefore more difficult to work with as I found that the person painting my nails was painting thick layers and not painting all the way to the base of my nail, leaving a fairly visible gap of bare nail. I asked whether she was painting one or two coats as I was hoping she would be able to fix this "gap", and she initially said one coat but I guess after I asked she proceeded to paint two coats to correct the problem (sort of). I appreciated the effort, though there are still gaps and inconsistencies. Maybe it was end-of-day and dark outside, and she could not see my nails clearly? It took over half an hour to dry my nails properly! Initially after 20 minutes she came around to check on me and said that I was good to go but had to be very careful. Not taking any chances, I asked if I could stay a little longer and continued drying my nails. After 10 more minutes I inquired again as to whether my nails were ready and it apparently needed another 5 minutes. This felt like a long time to dry my nails, possibly because the two coats of nail polish were so thick. Thankfully, they were playing Marie Kondo on Netflix which was pretty entertaining. Given that it was the end of day, staff were busily tidying up the shop before closing. However, no one really cared to help me put on and zip-up my coat before I left, so unfortunately service did not feel as stellar as other nail salons I've been to. Eventually the manager did notice and offered to help, but at that point I was already all zipped up and ready to go. Overall, I do see myself going back to the Nail Boutique for convenient nail colour changes, as the space is neat and clean, they have a good selection of colours, and the service is pleasant enough.

I walked in on the fourth day which was today on a Tuesday asked them to fix my nails and they made me wait 10 minutes two fix two nails. As I finally got to sit down they gave an attitude towards me because I asked them to fix my second nail that was chipped. I paid them good on Friday and I always tip and they shouldn't have made me feel this way, guilty. I am not going to feel guilty for the job that was done poorly to my nails. I am a paying customer that should have been treated with respect and quality service. I love my nails now but the service isn't nice they don't tell you their name or ask customers how their day went... So I'm conclusion I would go back if they haven't given me an attitude and my nails wouldn't chip on the third day.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! I…read morewent in for a pedicure, and I was extremely disappointed with the service. The nail technician (a kitten with a halo tattooed on her left arm) did not scrub my feet or use any nail tools other than a nail clipper. When I asked if my feet were going to be scrubbed, she had the audacity to tell me, "I already did it, you must have forgotten."Absolutely ridiculous! I know what was and wasn't done to my own feet, and that response was completely unacceptable. My daughter also got a manicure, and the results were just as disappointing. Her pink nails were poorly painted, her cuticles were not done, and there was an excessive amount of glue left on her fingers. The lack of effort, attention to detail, and professionalism was unacceptable. Customers pay for a service and deserve to receive what they paid for, not be dismissed when they speak up about poor-quality work. This location seriously needs to reevaluate its staff and the quality of its services. There is no point in running a business if the employees are unwilling to do their jobs properly. I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I will not be returning.

The lady doing my mani/pedi was tearing off a cuticle/ingrown on my big toe so hard that I had to ask her to stop 3 times. I asked her to just cut it because it hurt so badly but she just smiled and said 'that's okay' and kept pulling it. My entire side of big toe was red and sore for 3 days. The shellac mani was amateur too. Thick layers, chunky, bubbly old polish and one of my nails she cut and filed on a strange diagonal so it's not even straight compared to the others.

The prices are average for the services provided, I typically pay about 60 with tip for a full bio gel set, sometimes I spring for a fancy design and only get charged a bit more. I almost never make appointments (not saying people should do this), but they always take me regardless. The people are sweet and treat you like a long time friend. The BEST thing about this salon though, is the insanely large selection of colours and unique polishes. Every time I see someone with a unique colour, they always say it's from here. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere new to try!
