Great place to get nails done. I called the day of and got an appointment that afternoon. I arrived early and they took me in right away. I had originally wanted to get just a classic mani pedi but when I came I decided to try the deluxe pedi, regular mani and some waxing done. The place was clean and professional and did a great job an my nails. The only hiccup was that I thought that they forgot about the waxing I had wanted done, but that was quickly remedied. I have already booked my next appointment and bringing my hubby with me. read more

Summary: I would not return to this establishment and do not recommend it either due to damaged nail beds post gel removal and poor natural manicure technique. Context: I do not normally get gel manicures but I wanted one so I would stop picking my cuticles. I chose this place and went for a gel manicure early in July. Once my cuticles had healed (3 weeks ish), I wanted that gel removed because I wanted natural nails. I also noticed that the tech had filed off a lot of my sidewalls during the gel application, so I did not want another gel manicure. Therefore, I asked to have a regular clear coat manicure on natural nails. When I got to the appointment I asked for my manicure to be soaked off, to which the tech said filing instead. I kept asking for the gel to be removed via soak-off as I did not want any more drilling to my nails beds. Finally, after the tech removed some of the gel top layer she then placed acetone foil wraps on my fingers for less than 3 minutes. This was the "soak-off." After that short acetone exposure, the tech then proceeded to drill off the gel which I had already expressed several times that I did not want. I felt that she was over drilling because I could feel the discomfort. I told her to be gentle because I have sensitive nails. The tech does not appeared to be trained in natural manicures. The nails were not buffed out properly, and the edges were filed with a coarse grit. A clear coat was slapped on quickly and haphazardly. When I left the salon, my nails were catching on everything I would touch and the shape was poorly done. Needless to say I was angry for dropping $50 on this manicure. I went home, removed the clear coat and saw there was a lot of gel still left on my nail. I proceeded to buff, cut, file and shape my own nails. I could tell that the cuticle area was overfiled. I waited 10 days to see if my nail bed was damaged. And they are on several nails with obvious ridges and redness. The tech was very resistant to switching to a natural manicure during our appointment, trying to convince me to do another gel manicure. I understand that gel means repeated customer. But I 100% would have returned to this establishment if the natural manicure was done well. It appears that they lacked the skill and training to safely do a soak off removal or natural manicure. read more

Looks like a child painted my toes. Was supposed to be matching will not be returning ! Updated the salon owner did reach out after seeing my review and offered to fix it . I tried on Friday the same day of service and that was not their attitude that day. This was not my first bad experience but I gave them a second chance. read more

Attended a manicure and pedicure with Tina at 5 PM on Fri. July 2, 2021. Tina proceeded to dig so deep into my toes that within 4 hours after the pedicure (which was painful), I had a massive infection. The next day, I had to go to the doctor and get antibiotics to clear it up. The technician Tina was completely unqualified to do this type of footcare. Save yourself the health hazard and avoid at all costs. read more

I've been going to Kelly's nail and spa for year's. Great atmosphere, clean, friendly service every time!

Over 3.5 years in Calgary and multiple mani/pedi sessions at various salons, but Kelly's was the only place where I felt that they really take their job seriously. I had my appointment with Tina and she worked on my hands and feet like an artist working meticulously with their painting. She would even clean off the excess clear base/top coat (whereas I would be peeling it off when I went to other places). The massage with the pedicure was sooooo relaxing that I kept dozing off. Hygiene is top notch with all the instruments being scrubbed, washed and kept in a sterilization compartment. I would definitely go back!!! read more

I've been coming here since they opened. Definitely a very consistent service. It is very busy so I recommend you make an appointment. All the technicians are experienced and take their time with each client. This is in a new building, with new massage chairs, bright inside with tvs and music. The health standards are good, they are always cleaning tools while working and in between clients. Out of the 25+ times I've come, only once did a girl cut my finger and Kelly immediately gave me a discount off of my service when I mentioned it. Some ppl may say it is a bit more expensive here, but the service is consistent and they ask if you want upgrades before charging you (like some places do). I've had to get a nail repaired the day after which was free of charge (I tipped the girl for her time!)..I really like this nail salon. It is a well run business.. will continue to be a client! read more

Kelly and her staff are very accommodating. My office sends us for mani/pedi's on Administrative Assistants Day each year and her team is always on time, welcoming and productive. We have never had an issue with our reservation, or the service given. She even provided us with cold water bottles and fresh fruit. I have come alone as well and it is always a pleasant experience. Walk in's welcome, great color selection. Located right beside Starbucks too, for that extra treat! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Kelly's since she started as Solar nails 10+ years ago! Every time I have to cheat on Kelly's nails I'm always disappointed! I see Ti (Tee) there now for all my nail needs she's fantastic!!! read more

This place is amazing! Been here twice with reference photos and left both times with nails better than the picture! I've had T.T. and Vicky do my nails, they are both fantastic! Equal parts talent and skill. Both were extremely committed to making sure each nail was even, perfectly painted and exactly to my liking. The prices here are very fair for the job they do. Kelly checks on everyone's nails to make sure her customers are satisfied. These ladies are awesome! I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be back any time I need a beautiful set of nails. read more

best nail place, did such a good job definitely going back from now on. i had a design i wanted and everything they did it exactly like the picture i had and even the same colour and shape, love this place read more

Came here with my sister before we left for our trip and my nails couldn't have looked better ! I'm a full time dental assistant and wearing latex gloves, constantly washing my hands does a toll on my hands. They defiantly needed some TLC and they did a wonderful job. I love getting shellac cause it's lasts forever but every time I do it peels off. This stuff stays on for days !!!! read more

!!! READ !!!! I am a nail technician and I have been having clients come to me that have previously been coming to this nail salon. While performing a soak off on these clients to remove the previous nails they had on, I noticed that the products this salon where using where in fact MMA based. As a client most people don't know what this means but the main chemical in cosmetic acrylic is EMA (ethyl methacrylate) and this is what is supposed to be used for artificial nails, then there is MMA (methyl methacrylate) that is used for dentistry fillings. These two chemicals perform the same way but MMA is nearly $100.0 cheaper per gallon which is why salons will sometimes buy these illegal products to gain more of a profit. The effects of MMA can be extremely serious, including liver cancer if it gets in the bloodstream, it also can cause severe skin infections, nail damage and nails to completely stop growing altogether. MMA is meant for tooth fillings which means it is much harder than cosmetic acrylic which makes it extremely difficult to remove, and can also lead to nail injuries. I was extremely shocked to see that this salon was using these products, please save yourself and don't come here. I have provided pictures of what MMA looks like during a soak off and what damage it did to my clients nails in a short period of time. Please please educate yourself as a client and do not come here. read more

Kelly does an AMAZING job with the nails, perfect shaping, colours, materials, everything. I would recommend her work but I get anxiety bc of her schedule. I have one MAJOR problem, she switches between 3 clients at a time (esp in the evenings) and it gets very annoying bc you really want to get your stuff done and be out of there quickly. You end up staying longer because each time she steps away from you, that's 3-5 mins added to your time. I get it, everyone wants their nails done and more clients means more money. However, I'm purchasing your services, I'd like to be prioritized for the time I'm paying for so I can be out quickly. One day I spent 2.5hrs not waiting but watching her walk from myself to different clients. It was so agitating. This double/triple booking is very irritating. read more

very friendly and kind people, they do the design you want even with the photo u have in mind great place would recommend quiet pricy tho.

I've been going to Kelly's for about 4 months now. I love the work the ladies put into your nails. They sculpt them beautifully and exactly how I like. The service is fantastic too, they always offer a water and are genuinely nice people. My only issue is their polish/top coat. I don't feel like the top coat they use is good enough quality because within a few days my shellac chips. I've never had shellac's chip on my acrylics before, only here. read more
