Was looking for a place close to home, decided to try this place out. Got a fill and replaced three nails, and a shellac pedicure. Was a pleasant experience up until I reached the cash register and she said 197 dollars! Wtf! And that was with a discount! I didn't even get a special design or stones. Never have I paid that much for nails. They did a decent job but can't justify the cost. Feel ripped off. read more

Fabulous! My nails look wonderful. The place was clean, the nail technicians were kind and highly skilled. I will be back read more

"Sometimes you don't know what you have until you lose it" - you know that saying. Well sometimes you don't realize how good your mani pedi place is until you go somewhere else. I was desperate to get a mani pedi and tried a new spot instead of coming to glam nails and seeing my girl Gabi. I regret it. My nails are ruined and I'm so upset. I'll never stray from Glam nails everyone is good and I love Gabi!! - she is kind and doesn't rush and has a great hand. read more

I left delighted, once again. Pedicure and a Shellac French were nothing short of perfect and every staff member was involved in my great experience. What I appreciated most is that all ladies play on each other's strengths and float between clients to ensure everyone receives the best experience possible. Elly did a great job with my pedicure, Kim took meticulous care of my mani and a lovely young lady, whose name tag I didn't catch, assisted me in transition between the techs, suggesting the best base colour for my oxblood red tip French. Salon was pristine, ladies were perfectly groomed from head to toe, sporting the trendiest nail colours on their own hands. Every single tool used on me either came out of a sterilized pouch or was a brand new disposable. The highlight of my visit was my Shellac manicure. Most places soak off your old colour by wrapping acetone cotton balls with foil. I find that method burning and extremely dehydrating for my nails. Glam Nails uses plastic clip-on tips instead. Another happy point: no drilling. Everything was filed off and buffed by hand, very gently. Why I was happy to return: - From being in hands of now 4 techs, it's safe to say their attention to cuticle care is bar none - They freehand a deep smile line French as if precision brush is for cowards. This is the most perfect and quickest freehand French I've had this year. Thank-you :) read more

I will never, ever return to this salon. Not even if you paid me. When someone manages to slice open two of my fingers, there is nothing you can say to make me go back and submit to blood-drawing torture again. I hate that Yelp won't let me select zero stars, because this place doesn't even deserve one. When I was getting my cuticles cleaned, the women doing my service sliced open the skin that connects my fingernail to the side of my finger. Not just once, but TWICE. The cut was so swift, it almost felt like a pinch the first time it happened on my ring finger, then the second cut came on my middle finger and it HURT. Immediately my two fingers started to bleed, and instead of apologizing, the women told me I had dry cuticles and that was the cause of the blood. Since it's true, I do have dry cuticles, and I couldn't exactly see what the woman was doing since she was angling my finger in such a way that the cuts were facing away from me, I thought, "Yeah. Maybe my cuticles are really dry." I'm relatively new to getting my nails done so I honestly didn't know better. But as the day went on and I left the salon, I inspected the fingers. All along the side of my finger where nail meets skin was sliced clean open, from base to finger tip. SLICED. OPEN. In what world is that because of dry cuticles?! And, without any flourishing, I can honestly say that I have never felt constant pain like this in my life. It's been 24 hours and the wound is still bleeding, throbbing, and so unbelievably painful I want to cry. And, since I'm on a "total honesty" role here, the nails aren't even that great. She cut the nails and filed them uneven, so the left side of the nails are slightly higher than the right. And I had to file the tips and corners of 8 nails myself so they would be smooth enough to not catch on my sweater every two seconds. I've attached photos if you're brave enough to look. (Although taking them required a lot of maneuvering since I can't put any pressure on my injured fingers without blinding pain, and the cuts are so swollen that my skin has puffed up around the nail. I did my best to clean the blood before taking the photo.) read more

A waste of money. Had mani, pedi, and waxing. Shellac Mani: -girl was pleasant -took her time -polish peeled off in sheets, from all 10 nails on 7th day (upon researching, this can be caused by diluting the polish to stretch it, and/or incorrect polish application) Shellac Pedi: -woman had amazing attention to detail and took pride in her work. no complaints. Waxing: -girl was trying to be fast which caused her to miss spots -had to ask her to redo certain missed areas (even though she inspected her work afterward) -she kept sticking the used strips on areas she had not yet applied wax. this resulted in the hairs being broken off at the skin's surface instead of being ripped out at the root. HAIR GREW BACK IN 2 DAYS. -left with arms that have 50% the amount of hair they usually do (which is fine) but in a strange, patchy, pattern. In sum, waxer had poor training. manicurist was either using diluted polish, or incorrect training in application. had to be re-waxed right after my visit here. the money spent on the mani and the waxing could have just as easily been flushed down the toilet. read more

I've been coming here for almost a year now and I'm happy to say I have found my spot! I've tried soo many nail salons but nothing really impressed me.. I always get a funky nail design which takes about 1.5-2.5 hours and they always do a great job! (There's always a movie playing so I don't mind the time and nail therapy is always good!) My go to girls are Mina and Kim. Best part of the experience is the shoulder massage after!! *Best to make an appointment because the shop can be busier at times!!* read more

I have been going to Glam nails ever since they opened. I absolutely adore the amazing, hard working owner Kim. She is such a perfectionist and stellar in everything she does. The salon has very high cleanliness standards (yay for germofobes like me!) and the space is beautiful with relaxing atmosphere. read more

I tried Glam Nails today for the first time and had a great experience! A long-time hunter for cheap and clean nail salons, Glam Nails gets two thumbs AND toes up. The space is bright, incredibly clean and looks like a high-end nail bar. The staff are friendly, incredibly efficient and detail-focused. My manicure and pedicure were exactly how I asked and there were no messy edges to clean up. Both foot and hand massage were great; just enough pressure and as it wasn't too busy, I was even offered a shoulder massage as my nails dried, great touch! There was a customer who had obviously been in before and was rather pushy with her timeframe and who she wanted to serve her. The staff easily maneuvered to fulfil her request without impeding the other customers experience. I will definitely visit Glam Nails again and if you're in the west end, you should too! ($50 after tax for a mani/pedi) read more

I've gone three times now to this Nail Salon, and the service is nothing short of fantastic. The staff are lovely, accommodating and help create a calm atmosphere--without being off putting. The decor is fairly modern, clean and open. It looks like a newer salon than others in the area. My nails are absolutely perfect each time I leave. By far, the best my toes have ever looked. They take their time with soaking, shaping the nails, filing etc and are extremely polite. I always tip very high as I am super pleased with their professionalism. This is definitely my new go-to spot in Bloor West village! PS: They also have a stamp card for rewards after a certain am read more

Went in based in the Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed. They're very OCD with the mani and pedi and yes, massage included. With drying time the whole procedure took 2 hours. Felt so pampered and relaxed after. I've never had my cuticles cleaned so thoroughly and the lower leg scrub felt nice too interior is clean, tasteful and uncluttered. Wasn't too much conversing with the aestheticians but I was busy watching Friends anyways. Priced reasonably, definitely will return when in the neighbourhood. read more

Glam Nails and Spa - Got the mani pedi combo for $45 without tax and tip. - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was charged an additional $15 for a french manicure added to the shellac I was getting. It says it's $5 on their website. I wish I had said something at the time. The manicure itself is well done, but I am upset I was overcharged. read more

New favorite nail place! Kim, the owner is profession, friendly and fast. My shellac manicure always look perfect when I leave and they last for at least three weeks without chipping. I've tried a couple of other places at Bloor West Village - Glam Nails & Spa is by far the best. read more

So after reading all of the reviews for the local Toronto nail salons on Yelp, I decided to try Glam Nails and Spa to get bio gel nails. Wow!! The service was exceptional and my nails are gorgeous. The salon is very clean, hip and comfortable. New tool packages and disposables are used for each client. My technician Gabby was extremely detail oriented and topped my perfect nails with a stunning gold glitter ombré. I would suggest calling ahead to secure an appointment. read more

The nails are done very nicely, would definitely return, but the massages they hook you up with after your nails are what steal the show.

I've been back since my first visit and though the polish job has been excellent they cut my toe badly on my last visit. I'm very upset as a. It totally ruins the experience for me and b. Causes me to worry about infections! I'm conditioned to tip well so I still tipped however I brought it up to the woman at the desk and I fear I won't be back. I'm very disappointed but cuts and potential infection are a huge concern for me. read more

Best nail salon in the city in my opinion. Great service, professional, clean and while a little more pricey than most places, well worth it. read more

I was very, very pleased with this nail salon. I had read the other reviews on here and hoped for the best. It was great!! I got the Spa Pedicure and they did a very thorough job - - my nails look wonderful and I felt pampered. The only suggestion that I could make, would be that they spend a lot more time with the "pumice" and less time with the massage on my feet/ legs. The woman that I had was very nice, but very gentle, so I felt I would need to continue to pumice when I got home. That said, it is the only critique I have. A week later, my pedicure looks like it was done yesterday! Highlights: The spa is CLEAN!! Oh, so gloriously clean! The women working there were attentive and thoughtful. They had a background movie playing nice and low, but no other sounds.... which was peaceful and I so appreciate. No one was carrying on conversation after conversation over me. I really felt relaxed. The chairs were new, the equipment new.... all was bright and shiny! I will definitely go back and I hope that they stay in the neighborhood! My only hope is that they stay to this level of cleanliness and attention...... it sure goes a long way in making a great impression and continued customer. Thank you, Glam! :) read more

So happy I found this place! Lovely, bright, clean and friendly atmosphere, and the girls there are so kind and accommodating. My manicurist did a fantastic job with the utmost attention to detail and perfection, I'm so happy! Also rare to see was that they turned away at least 4 walk-ins in the hour I was there; quality really does trump quantity (so make an appointment!) I'm so glad they have a loyalty program (a free treatment every 10)... I will be back. Often. read more

Best nail salon in the city (and I've frequented all the winners - lucky nails, pleasant nails, perfect nails . . . This beats them all). Shellac manicure lasts for a month and is impeccable. Foot massage, hand massage AND complementary neck and shoulder massage while you dry. A real gem for ladies who like to be pampered and expect quality. Great movies on the tvs too! read more

Friendly staff, clean environment and full of natural light! All my experiences has been positive here. Only complaint i have is that the shellac doesnt last the 2 weeks but i barely get shellac anyway. So for a normal mani pedi, its amazing! They also throw in a tiny shoulder massage which is so thougtful! I do recommend if yore living in Bloor west area! read more

Extremely happy with this place. Beautiful spot and lovely people. The pedicure I got was inexpensive and thorough: filing, cuticles, scrub, short foot& leg massage and heal care. The polish was well applied. They have OPI and China ink. Ended with a a short shoulder massage. Very happy! Excellent service. Must go! read more

Had a great experience here! Had a pedicure-- the service was great and I was even given a neck massage while my nails dried! Great customer service, clean & modern salon :) I found the pedicure a tad pricey $30, but I'm sure it has to do with their location being so conveniently close to Bloor St. read more

I've tried this place a total of 3x now - in an honest attempt to have the same great experience others have remarked about. Unfortunately, I haven't had a great experience on any visit and therefore will not be back. I find that the ladies try to squeeze in too many appointments at one time. So you often sit feeling neglected and unattended to and have to wait until someone has a spare minute to do something for you (ex. I've sat so long with my feet in the water that they have gone wrinkly and the water has gone cold). This is even when I've made an appointment ahead of time. I will Say that the staff is friendly and that I appreciate the massage they give - but they do not offer of tea or water while waiting - or consideration to what is playing on the tv. The atmosphere is stark and there is usually a movie playing at loud volume - last time was a kids movie. Hardly the type of thing I want to watch at a 'spa'. Now, I could overlook the lack of atmosphere and even the disorganization of staff if the quality was there. Again, this is the most disappointing part. When I had my shellack removed, the lady was in such a rush that she didn't buff the top coat off properly, nor did she leave the clips on long enough to soak in. She ended up scraping my nails so hard that the tops were extremely rough and damaged when she was finished. In the application of my new coat of shellack she rushed through so quickly - didn't ask if I liked the color (which I didn't) and only did 2 coats. My nails clearly needed 3 as you could still see the white tips through the color. A quality shellack application lasts 3 weeks on me, but only one week week later my shellack is lifting on several corners of my nails. I will likely have to get it removed in a couple days. Maybe this place does depend on who does your appointment and how many other customers are in at the same time - but for me there are too many issues to spend my money here again. read more

Very happy with my Manicure and Pedicure. They took their time and did a great job! And I loved the little shoulder massage at the end!

First time at Glam Nails for a pedicure and had an excellent experience. The space is bright, clean and modern and prices are reasonable. Great polish colour selection and comfortable massage chairs. The pedicure was thorough including cuticle clean-up and callus buffing, as well as a salt scrub and massage on lower legs and feet. Not only that but they give a mini shoulder massage when you sit down at the drying station! Definitely planning on returning. read more

I love this place !!!! Great service, friendly relax atmosphere with great foot and hand massage, Also back massage while your nails are drying, read more

I don't really know who give reviews on Yelp and if they are real or honest people. I started to go to this salon when they were opening only couple of years ago in Bloor Village. At the beginning they were better and they went down. The nail store is clean though. First time I gave up on this salon 7 or 8 months ago as in 2 visit paying each time for Mani-Pedi ( Shellac ) hands and design which they say 5$ and it's written there and each time they charged different from 10$ to 20$ my case I paid around $84. It's crazy ? Don't you think? I thought their work or design is good so I tried other places and I find good ones but further away from me and inconvenient. ( Pls anyone if you know a good one in the area give me a suggestion ) Bloor village or Humber bay. So if this time I gave up again and I thought I don't bother writing about them as Kim was even shouting at me last Sunday only 4 days ago that they were busy and I could go back another time. When I made appointment this time originally I made it with her sister and emphasised I didn't have time fully on Sat and is that ok I first do mani-pedi on Sat as they were busy and return I Sunday for Polish? I was going out on Sunday eve. On Sunday my appointment was at 3pm and since I could do a bit earlier I called and said I could make it ahead if they got time and works for them and they said come at 1 instead. This is how it all started right after PAYING $84 in total in2 parts once on Sat and rest on Sun I went to the car. On Sunday I learnt some nails where not properly shaped or polished and one even broke even though the girl who was doing it said I had good nails. Then on Sunday after polishing it, right after I left the salon I looked and saw some little bubbles or whole on the shellac on my hand. You see 7 or 8 months ago when I quit this salon it was because after a day of leaving salon I had some chips on the shellac and had to return the following day to fix at least 2 and in the other time 3 of my nails. Do I have time to do that each time ? No it's busy life and no one like to repeat a service that we pay more compare to other places. Correct? Yesterday after only 3 days one of my nail shellac on the left hand which I use less is chipped and part of the shellac is gone. I don't am mostly on the computer or driving and do not wash dishes or cloths and any other use of hand !!! The 2 nails had bubbles and appeared little holes on my right hand the same day after leaving salon and retuned. Instead of apology she said first it was because of my nail they are wavy and then she started screaming at me that they were busy and I could return anther day or time!!! Does Kim think I have my time only to go there repeatedly each time after a service paying $84 for same service I get but further distance from my location $64 and fix their bad services? So last time I gave up 7 or 8 months ago as it happened twice and I had to return to salon to fix them. And this time again the Shellac had bubbles same day of service and after 4 days on another hand and finger it started to come off and chip!!! Paying $84! And Kim yelled at me as they don't have time and I have to return .... I got 2 of their stamp card full and didn't use it and that shows how many times I visited since the begging and return even after 8 months of quitting only because location is good for me and I didn't try others in the area near them as I considered as new business and tried helping. Seems like they don't want to help their business and their loyal client. I am just adding to my previous review as after not even 4 days of my visit to this nail store paying more than $80 if I remember somewhere around 84plus, 5 of my nails shellac came off completely. 3 on the right hand and 2 on the left hand. As You remember the same day I complained as there were some air bubble on them and when I went to salon I heard this Kim depressed screaming that they don't have time and I must return another day. Wow who is saying this salon is a place to go? read more

Very poor! I had a bio gel manicure here. Staff and surroundings are pleasant enough but the manicure was awful. Next morning I had to go back as 4 nails were already chipped. They fixed it and I went on my way. 5 days after having the manicure 2 of the bio gel overlays were gone completely. No trace of any gel or polish. Next morning another 2 were gone and more were lifting from the nail. Obviously, something went wrong and the gel did not bond to the nail. I returned to the salon and she offered to fix the nails where the overlay had fallen off. As more nails were already lifting I didn't see the point in fixing the 4 when clearly something was wrong with all of them. I requested a refund which was not granted. All I got was an "I'm sorry". Not good enough. After 1 week all of the overlays have fallen off. I paid $45 for a manicure which lasted 5 days. I have not been doing anything out of the ordinary and always wear gloves when doing dishes. I would have been better off doing it myself at home. Next time I will stick to Ana's on Bloor Street. read more

I am usually too lazy to write reviews but this salon is too awesome to not share with as many people as I humanly can. I first came here when I lived near high park and saw the high reviews on Yelp. It turned out to be the best nail salon I've ever been to, and I'm including luxury spas like Her Majesty's Pleasure. The service is impeccable and the skills of the technicians here exceeds expectations. There are lots of little details that make an appointment here more enjoyable than elsewhere. They have a TV in the pedicure area and one in the manicure area, both play Netflix or YouTube so you're never bored. They have nifty little tools from Korea that you normally don't see in salons here. They do an extremely thorough job in cleaning up your cuticles and you get a nice little massage at the end of your appointment. Not only are the technicians skilled in regular manicures and pedicures but they are also skilled at creating custom designs. They once spent 2 hours painstaking creating a manicure design I saw on pintrust with tweezers and tiny sponges and did an incredible job. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more
