    Oh hi, here are my nails (done on August 27th)
    Aisa T.

    Considering the fact that I've been coming here for 5+ years, this review can be seen as LONG overdue. However, I'm here now and ready to enlighten y'all on what you've been missing out on. Dif Nail & Spa is hands down one of the best nail salons here in Richmond Hill. When I decide to get my nails done, it tends to be super last minute but I still try to call ahead of time to make sure they aren't too busy. Even when they are busy though, the waiting time doesn't exceed 15 minutes. Also, no matter how much traffic there may be, they never rush through doing your nails and they care a lot about the health of your actual nails. I love coming here because I never have to worry about who is doing my nails. Everybody that works at Dif is very skilled and the quality has remained consistent throughout these 5 years. I usually get shellac or biogel with extensions. My shellac lasts for 3 weeks but my biogel can go anywhere from 1/2 months. One time I had my biogel extensions on for 3 months (mostly because it was a nude colour and the nail growth wasn't too obvious). Highly recommend this place to anybody looking to get their nails done in the healthiest way possible and not pay a crazy amount of money.

    Driven by this place for over 2 years going to the Tim's drive through, the plaza is a tad hidden. Thought to give it a try as my last place clipped and bled me This place is a good size for mani and pedi but looks like they just opened! White on white decor, I no idea what the place was even called until I picked up the brochure. The ladies seem nice enough, speaking mainly in Mandarin to each other yet Harding engaging clients except for short commands and directions. Felt ignored most of the time, right now I've been at the drying station for over 20 mins but I could also blame Pinterest. My nail tech was great, she was skilled and careful, checking in with me but not saying much else. It feels really slow here from start to finish 90 mins elapsed from hi to bye. It was a typical-great pedi, but the service/ambience really lacks here. Would come back but nothing to refer to friends about.

    The Nail Social - Gel nails done by Joey. Please note that manicure does not come with ice cream cone

    The Nail Social

    The Nail Social can be found inside a strip mall, between A Corner Cafe (which surprisingly is not…read moreon a corner, lol) and Yin Ji Chang Fen with plenty of parking available. Since my family and I were staying in Markham during our last vacation, I wanted to find a nail salon in the city, which ended up leading me here (which I found on Yelp). There wasn't any information about price though on this Yelp page but am happy to add these photos of the pricing that I took when I arrived. I initially had made an appointment for Tuesday, around 2 pm the day before. However, my lunch with one of my aunts and uncles went longer than expected and so I had to call to cancel and ask if I could change the time to a later time. The girl on the phone was so kind and told me because I wasn't exactly sure what time I would be available to have my nails done, she suggested to call before coming in just so I would not have to wait if I was to do a walk in. So later that day, I called prior and the girl told me to come in, so I walked in around 4:55 pm and waited a little over 10 minutes before being asked to take a seat by an employee named Joey. I wanted to get gel nails, which is different from shellac nails for those that may confuse the two (especially since sometimes nail salons will use both words interchangeably but they are not the same). Shellac nails are kind of like a semi- permanent polish, which doesn't last as long (and also is cheaper than gel nails). But gel nails are a semi- permanent gel nail, which does last a few weeks longer. Gel nails cost $75 for a new set. I also wanted a design (I almost always get a design with my nails, which does cost extra but I don't mind), which I had a photo on my phone to show Joey. I told her what design I wanted for my ring finger and middle finger and the same on the other hand (so total of 4 nails that would have design). Joey told me that cost would be $75, in which she didn't charge me extra for design (so I made sure to tip her higher because of it). I liked that Joey took a photo of the design I had in mind with her camera phone so that she could refer to it on her own phone while she was painting my nails. Joey definitely is very talented and I just loved the design she had, as I picked an ice cream cone with sprinkles. She also helped me to find the right colors that I wanted (I wasn't looking for the exact shade and am pretty flexible). I really loved the way the design and the pink color I picked for the rest of my nails, as it really went with the ice cream theme. Although Joey told me that my nails would last 4 weeks, my nails lasted beyond that (and never chipped or lifted. Being in health care, I don't baby my hands and I also wash them constantly, honestly these were probably the best nails I have ever had done). The only reason I took them off was because it really need a fill since my nails had grown over. Joey told me that she had not done an ice cream cone before and she was also happy with her results too. Now this is my first time getting my nails done in Canada and am not sure if it is not customary to get a hand massage and lotion on your hands after a manicure or not. I didn't get one after this manicure but have always had it done with the nail salons in California and also in Hawaii where I have gotten my nails done. Not a big deal, but I wished I had brought my own lotion to put on since my hands were dry. But overall, I am very happy with my experience and would come back the next time I visit Markham in the future. Please note that they do accept credit card but there is a credit card fee. I ended up paying cash.

    I was visiting for a few days and decided to give the is place a try. I am in love with nails! My…read morenail tech took her time to make share nails were done to perfect. The nail has a professional vibe and all of the nail techs are extremely talented. Highly recommend

    Not sure why there aren't more reviews for this perfect little nail bar…read more Located in the Richmond Heights plaza south of Elgin Mills is this narrow boutique right next door to winners! I didn't have an appointment and needed a quick manicure. I called 10 minutes prior and they could squeeze me in, just. While inward there I watched The Notebook and time just flew! The space was spotless, the girls were wonderful and the manicure was absolutely excellent, all for $30! A helper below mentions the cost is expensive - not to me, $30 for a mani is well worth the price in knowing the utensils are cleaned properly.

    I love Polished for the ambience, customer service and quality of service/ products. Now that I am…read morea new mom, I want to make it worth it when I leave the house. I love to come here to pamper myself. I took one star away because the price is quite steep. Mind you, you are getting what you pay for. While it's true, I've been told, that you can find a cheaper salon with the same quality, the chances of that happening is slim and it mostly depends on the technician you get. At Polished, you will ALWAYS get perfection so you are essentially paying for peace of mind. I don't mind paying a higher price when I know I'm going to walk out with nails that last 4 weeks and I feel 100% pampered/ amazing. Staff is amazing. Kirin and Carrie always do my shellac manicure and pedicure. They remember what we talked about at my last visit and engage me in nice conversation. They're the sweetest! The options for colour is great and they offer lots of other services. I plan on trying out their facials next. Super clean, super attentive to detail.
