Their Services are a bit pricier than some but, I truly love the quality, the time, and the care this group takes with my pedicure. I do not feel rushed ever when I am here. It is a very nice space for a pedi and mani party for the bride and her party but could also be a great place for a girl's after work relaxation and pamper event. Make sure to ask for the deluxe pedi and Mani as you get extra massage for both and the massage is well worth the money.

They were only a few blocks from where I was staying and after giving them a call, I had an appointment for a gel manicure later that evening. I arrived to find a cute salon with big windows and a lot of natural light, great for people watching. While it was relatively small, it felt very cozy and the staff welcomed me with open arms. I was having a bit of a hard time figuring out what color to go with and they were so kind to help me narrow down the perfect shade. My nail tech was awesome and it was as if we had known each other for a while. I had to have gel polish removed which made my appointment a bit longer, about 1.5 hours total and it flew by as we chatted about tattoos, piercings, where I should go for dinner, guys, drama in the music industry, and so much more. I wish I could remember her name but if you read this - you know who you are! My total came out to about $70 after tip and my nails look freakin' awesome. It's been just over two weeks and they still look on point. I've also gotten several compliments on the color! Just peep the photo I uploaded to Yelp. If I lived in the area I can totally see this becoming my go-to spot for a mani/pedi and I highly recommend it!

I didn't know there was a difference and they conveniently didn't take credit cards. I asked if there was a difference in conversion between USD and CAD and the lady said no difference. It was my first time in Canada so I was panicking looking through my purse and wallet and got $137 in USD and she said that she'll take that cash and to come back with $3 more USD later. I thought it was an expensive pedi and gel nails (very short French tip nails no mani) for the US but just though the Canada charges more. Only to find out that she basically cheated me out of money and tipped themselves a lot. They totally took advantage of me. My fault, I guess, for thinking someone wouldn't do that. Lesson learned.

She looked over the reference pics I bought and helped me test out different colors until I got the right match. She custom mixed the colors for me to get the watery glow I was looking for and was meticulous every step of the way after. And to top it all off, she even suggested I add a bit of sparkle to my nails at the end which was just...*chef's kiss*. She is just so good at what she does and takes the initiative to do it better without you even asking. Pricing was also super reasonable. Thank you, Nicola for your amazing patience and attention to detail. If I'm ever back in town, I'm definitely stopping by again.

Who knows what SJ stood for, but it was after some careful consideration that the new name was chosen, I'm quite sure of that. They are right in the middle of the block, and with a big bright purple sign, very hard to miss. This place was a-buzz with activity when I went and seemed like a local favourite. For the first time, I decided to opt for the reflexology option for my massage experience here, which turns out is a fancy name for foot and lower leg massage. I had a dude for this part, and he was amazing at making my feet feel awesome. Thinking about my feet, it's not something that I felt needs attention, but I was super happy that I spent the extra coin on this option as feet are something that can get taken for granted. First they bring a bucket of hot water to soak them in, and then the guy massages them along with the leg below the knee. Well worth trying out and see how it feels. The massage included some of the back-walking, but wasn't quite as intense as the other experience I had. Since the place was quite busy, there were more distractions making the experience less than ideal. Still quite impressive and worth checking out to see for yourself. The place seemed right out of a movie and unforgettable!
