Yesterday I called in to make my follow up appointment and after the way Nancy, the owner, spoke to…read moreme, I decided enough is enough. After Nancy confirmed my appointment she harshly said, "and don't be late otherwise I won't be able to see you until 1:30 ". Her comment stunned me because I had not been late in many months. Over the years I thought Nancy did not like me because no matter how much I said hello, tried to make conversation and gave good tips she was very serious, hardly acknowledged me when I came in she never wished me a nice day or thanked me for a tip. She shows no basic customer service in politeness. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt because I did like how my nails were done, but yesterday I read through other reviews where others were treated rudely by Nancy. Other customers also said Smile Nail employees would call them if they are even 1 minute late for their appointment threatening to give their appointment away. I had the same experience. Then I would walk in the salon and no one would even be there, they weren't even that busy. Frankly, those phone calls made me feel a bit harassed but I let it slide and tried to remain a loyal customer. Other times if I asked for my mani pedi to be done separate, Nancy would get upset and say, " I'already told you before, you have to request that ahead of time, as if its my fault for not keeping track of all her rules. " It's rude and I don't need to be chastised like a child, especially in front of other customers. I pay too much money and give nice tips to be treated so harshly. They are losing workers and recently I have noticed they only have one other guy still working with them. Lin is friendly and gives good pedicures. She recently complained to me that no one wants to work for them. Perhaps if they created a kinder environment others would want to continue working there. I ended up calling back a couple hours later and just cancelling my appointment. I will no longer be going to Smile Nails or recommending them. I hope they stop and read these comments and work harder on their attitude.

I didn't make an appointment and Kathy took me in despite how busy they were. She was quick but she did a fantastic job with the set! I was absolutely amazed. The second time was for a nail removal. I didn't catch the name of the guy but he was super nice. I will admit that nail removals aren't my favourite thing to do and he checked in every 5 minutes to make sure he wasn't attacking my nails. Third time, I also didn't catch their names but these ladies did a wonderful job on my gel set and pedicure! The only thing I would suggest for pedicure is to warn us about the towel being extremely hot before setting it on our legs. But overall, she did an amazing job and it's still looking real good after 3 weeks.

This review is long long overdue.. My visit took place in…read moreOctober of 2019. My gel nail broke in devastating manner, which required very last minute booking for an emergency treatment. Tragic(it lasted me only for a week). I stopped by to request a booking. The salon was very packed and busy. A lady(who turned out to be the owner) came rushing to help me book an appointment. Unfortunately they have no more room for the day but she booked me for another day. I half sniffled-held up my broken nail finger and asked, "what should I do in a mean while?". And she gave a dramatic gasp and begin to file that *bleep* down for me. Pro. I returned the next day and it was dramatically different. There were no other clients in the salon and I was only one. I was greeted by Hannah & Cindy duo. It took me a while to try to decide what I would like for the colour change. They didn't rush me. They chatted and laughed along with me, making me feel very comfortable. Sure, it helps that I was the only one in and it was a down time. But I stayed getting my nails done until they were closing off the salon. And they never made me feel like they want to get rid of me as quick as possible for some relaxation of their own. Hannah in particular was the one who worked on my nails and she was so thorough and detailed. I'm not an expert on all these nail things and she took her time to answer all my questions. Including none-related cooking questions. I hope Hannah & Cindy are still around. They were such a great people to be around and made the whole experience great. My visit was 3 months ago. And I'm still writing this review. This should show how much of a great experience I've had in this location thanks to those two!

The owner just said it's because your nail is not smooth and that was the end of it. No suggestion to correct or even sorry. Said next time use a different colour (not metallic). How is this helpful for this time? I won't be back.

This is by far my favourite place to get a manicure and a pedicure. The staff are so kind and…read morefriendly to you and will always offer you a complimentary hot water or tea. If you get a pedicure, you sit in the massage chairs, and it is very relaxing. For the manicure, you can also get one with or without a massage, but I always like to recommend a massage as it is quite relaxing. If you have a reference idea for the nails that you want, you could always show it to them and talk through what they can do to achieve the look. I definitely recommend calling or booking online as they can sometimes get very busy and are not always able to accommodate walk-ins. With that being said if you are in the area, I do recommend just stopping in and seeing whether or not they have an opening if they do not then they will surely try to book you in for a time that works. They also have a stamp card for services over $50 so that is always a plus and perk for loyal customers.

I walked in two weeks ago and they were able to fit me in right away. The salon is small but very…read moreclean and nicely maintained. They had a huge selection of shellac colours. My nail tech was very efficient, quick and gentle. She was able to clean up my cuticles without causing any redness or irritation. The colour I originally picked turned out to be lighter than the sample, and after doing one nail, she pointed it out to me and went and got another colour she recommended; I agreed and she went ahead with the new shade, and it turned out to be a perfect match for what I had originally wanted. I was happy she made the suggestion since I know some nail technicians just stay quiet and do what you've asked without question. The pricing is great, and the cheapest I've paid in a long time. It's two weeks passed and my nails are growing out great without any chips. One thing I noticed was that over at their pedicure section, the tubs all had plastic liners - I had read somewhere this is actually extremely hygienic and something that should be done more widely. I'm excited to have found a nice nail place in my area, since I've tried a few in the past that were either too expensive or didn't hold up. I'd definitely recommend this place to others.

I used to come here a lot because it was cheaper than other salons, but you definitely get what you…read morepay for. The salon feels cheap and not very clean. One of the girls was giving me a pedicure and Anna (the owner) was giving me a manicure at the same time. The girl was scraping the dead skin off my foot and wasn't paying attention and scraped the side of my foot. Realizing what she'd done, she immediately dropped my foot in the water to hide the cut, which stung so fcking bad. I pulled my foot out of the water and blood was gushing out. Anna said something to her in Vietnamese and the girl ran to grab ointment and bandages. I'm not impressed that she didn't acknowledge her mistake right away, but I didn't make a fuss. The girl was so embarrassed, she didn't look at me for the rest of the time so Anna ended up taking my payment. It's surprising that she charged me full price and I'm an idiot for tipping on top of that. This was 2 months ago and I wasn't going to bother writing about this, but that cut is now a scar, which I'm not happy about. I will never go back there, if I had a health condition this could've ended even worse.
