    The infill nails they believe are worth £70

    Well it only took my first and only visit to a nail shop to remind me why I don't get my nails done in Victoria. Magic nails is absolutely terrible and my experience was diabolical. I was charged more for an infill than an actual full set, and the nails aren't even done properly. I needed a fill for a wedding on Saturday and came in with one broken nail but all the rest were fine. I didn't want any changes to length or shape made so it was a pretty straightforward infill. The tip he added on sticks straight up and when I asked him to correct this he claimed it was because the UK (where I've been living) uses different tips. I just agreed, but that's not accurate. The UK uses the exact same tips, I've been many times but they create an apex where as this guy clearly didn't know how to or wasn't willing. He didn't apply any product to the tips of my nails so they're left extremely thin and will probably snap. He only applied product to where the gap was in between my nail bed and the acrylics. So hardly any product was used at all. The shaping is mediocre, the polish has air bubbles and my nails aren't even fully covered, and again, the nail he fixed literally sticks upwards and looks terrible. But as their menu say £45 for an infill with shellac, and I just needed them for the wedding in two days I was willing to look over all of that and let it be. I also got chrome which I know is an additional £10. However, when I went to check out they tried to charge me £65 FOR AN INFILL, which is crazy in itself. When I asked about the price they made up that "oh the length and shape adds an extra £10." I explained and provided video proof that I walked in with the exact same length and shape as I was leaving with and that it doesn't make any sense for me to be paying extra for something they didn't do and products that were NOT used on me. The lady at the front called who I'm assuming to be the owner or manager, and he instantly gave me cheek and attitude over the phone and when I said it didn't make sense and no extra product was used, and that I'm leaving the shop with the exact same shape and length nails I walked in with he said "well it doesn't have to make sense to you, you can either pay or we'll chop the nails off." So you're trying to tell me for a poorly done job and no changes made beside polish I was expected to pay over £70 (including a tip) for an infill??!!!! I'm just back in Victoria after being away and instantly reminded how terrible the nail places here are run and managed. Posted what I walked in with and what I walked out with

    i think I can say this was my best manicure experience ever. Visiting from Virginia. We were walk-ins and served quickly. Delightful staff and plenty of choices. Very clean and efficient!

    They took the walk in and I didn't have to wait. the lady cut me 3x on my cuticles with the drill. The nails are too thick and the paint looks very thick. the sides - well the pictures speak of the quality of nail service. I won't be back. $50 and I'm embarrassed for my college graduation Saturday. for reference, i got them done yesterday, these pictures are one day since service.

    Pic of inside of business. Notice the run down look and old equipment.

    I received terrible customer service, a botched manicure, and mediocre pedicure. Within 24 hours the polish was bubbling and peeling off. When I spoke to the owner, 1 1/2 days after my service, he was rude and accused me of doing something to make the nail polish bubble and peel off. I did not receive an apology or a refund. There are several nail salons in the area that provide excellent customer service and quality manicures and pedicures. Don't waste your $$ at this place.

    What the result was..

    AVOID AT ALL COST!!! I absolutely do not recommend this salon..I was a walked in and got sat down with Tom..I am new to the area, I get my nails done monthly so I am used knowing how to ask for what I want..I asked for the picture below and this is what I got.. He also preceded to get upset because cause I told him I wanted to start fresh instead of doing a fill.(I asked for a fresh set at the beginning.) During the entire thing he kept drilling into my cuticles..then trying to put the polish on is a whole story..it was uneven from his hand shaking from wearing a brace..Then once you get ready to pay you pay through apps..seemed very sketchy..Also not to mention the false advertisement of new customers getting 20% off...So not being satisfied with my nails I then called later and the manager is very rude..Eric seemed like he just didn't want to help whatsoever. Worst $60 I have ever spent.

    The best nails salon in town. I love how Aaric do my nails, design and everything. Definitely recommended

    Beautiful nails ... I need mine short for work. (Disregard my old hands) Great experience ... but a little pricey

    friends gold full set

    The atmosphere here is great and everyone is pleasant. They will do their best to give you what you ask for and I greatly appreciate it. Not all techs are equally skilled, so you'll have to try each to see who is best in your style, but definitely worth a go. I got a peach full set in the style of a picture on Pinterest and my friend got a gold chrome full set. Edit: my friends index finger acrylic fell off an hour after getting them done... not great, but will update later. Update: They fixed her nail the next day for free. Update a week later: My friend's nails kept breaking and after looking at them I realized the nail tech put almost no acrylic on the nail. They had a beautiful shape and color, but the form of the nail was absolutely awful. Would not suggest going to the younger man who did her nails. We won't be coming back.

    The first pic is my inspiration picture and truthfully my tech tried his best. My nails are crooked and not what I wanted at all. They have a 10 day warranty that I will be using because honestly they aren't great to look at. Service was 10/10 very nice people but unfortunately I just got unlucky I guess.

    I went to this salon on Friday morning, March 27, 2025, hoping to find my new nail spot since I'm…read morerelatively new to Victoria. What I experienced was not just bad service -- it was alarming and unsafe. For context, I keep my nails very basic. I only get a gel manicure, no tips, no designs, nothing fancy. Despite the salon not being busy (about three customers and multiple employees), I waited 10-15 minutes to be seated and another 10-15 minutes before my pedicure began. The salon was steaming hot, and I was sweating the entire time. The pedicure itself was fine, but when I stood up, staff pointed out that my toe had been smudged and laughed among themselves instead of fixing it -- no apology, no attempt to correct it. Then things got much worse. I was sent for my manicure and was never once asked to wash my hands. My nails were painted while nail buff dust was still all over my hands. The tools being used looked worn out and not sterilized, with visible debris and skin still on them -- draw your own conclusions. Within five minutes, the technician cut my finger so badly that I was bleeding all over the table. When I started bleeding, she rolled her eyes and acted as if it were my fault. No apology. No concern. She applied a yellow powder directly to my open cut without explaining what it was, even after I asked. Later, my finger became black and yellow and looked infected, which was honestly terrifying. The manicure itself was awful -- no shaping, polish already fading within days, and product left all over my skin, leaving my fingers stuck together. This was especially upsetting because I had my best friend's wedding the very next day. I checked out bleeding, sweating, and clearly distressed, and was charged $134. I was offered no apology, no explanation, no discount -- nothing. I still tipped 25%, and there was still zero remorse shown. This salon destroyed my 25‑year‑old hand on a Friday morning. What happened here goes far beyond a "bad manicure." Between the lack of basic hygiene, the injury, and the complete lack of professionalism, this place feels genuinely unsafe. In my opinion, it should not be operating in its current state. I will never return, and I strongly caution anyone who cares about cleanliness, safety, or their health.

    I'm so glad I found this place, I've had this Crack at the bottom of my feet for the longest and…read morenow it's gone. Helen worked a miracle on my feet. This place has great energy and they welcomed me soon as I walked in. The red wine was wonderful and the service amazing. I will definitely be back so see yall soon and thanks again for my brand new soft feet and the massage that put me to sleep
