Finally had the opportunity to drop by at ManiPedi for the first time after passing by it for years - I am no where near disappointed! Walked in shortly after they opened and there were already 4 people inside, which tells you just how popular they are. However, that didn't stop them from fitting me in to do a shellac mani pedi. I very seldom get a mani pedi, so please forgive me if your opinion differs from mine in terms of their colour selection, but I'd they have over 100 colours for shellac which was overwhelming but nice because there's something for everyone for every season. I got my pedicure done by Tina and my manicure done by Amy. Both of them are very meticulous, gentle, and patient. They both took the habit of checking in with me to see if I liked what they had done so far, which I appreciated. While I am not very picky or particular, I could tell that both of them cared about making my nails look great. A few other things: - Like other yelpers have said, if you're looking for relaxation and a quiet ambience, this is not the place for that, though they have great massage chairs. - Located by Summerhill Station, you can imagine the clientele they get. I walked in in my workout gear after a 12h night shift and felt out of place with women in fur coats, expensive bags, and pearls. This didn't trump the service though, they treat you as a customer they aim to please. - Tools used are all individually packaged and they open them up in front of you. - Pay flat rate with cash, tax added for card payments. TLDR: All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming, their service was great, and their price is competitive. I highly recommend! read more

Mani Pedi Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Hello, I've been going to this nail location at summerhill for well over 10 years religiously every month. I've only had one issue that I found was very unpleasant and hurtful. I finally got up the courage to address it, in a very diplomatic way. When my service was finished I tipped what I was happy with. The girl held up my bill and showed it high in the air for everyone to see While speaking Vietnamese. I'm out. Vip customer. They are showing the tips now apparently. read more

I've yet to find a salon as efficient, on time, personable and professional as Mani Pedi on Yonge St. I am never disappointed. Helen and John are delightful and make the experience even that much better. Bravo Manipedi!!! Keep doing what you are doing! And all the staff are equally fantastic with their skills.

What a busy location!! Went for a walk in for a polish change with a manicure on a Monday afternoon and it was packed! I luckily didn't have to wait at all but many more people came in during the time I was there. Honestly the service itself was fast and efficient but the 4 star is because I wished she'd painted closer to my cuticles. Other than that she was also amazing at shaping my nails too...it's the first time they don't look bad shaped into an oval. read more

Had a wonderful visit about two weeks ago. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon so naturally the place was quite full, but they seated me immediately. I got a French shellac manicure done by Tina and she was super friendly. She would check in at intervals to see how I felt about how my nails were looking and taught me a bunch of words in Vietnamese as we were chatting too. Pricing is quite reasonable and service was good. Only downside is it is so crammed and loud in there- I'll definitely go on a weekday next time. Being there when it's busy feels like you're being herded around, but worth the visit nonetheless. Tip: if you pay cash they only charge the flat rate, no extra for tax ! read more

Mani Pedi Spa - Shellac French manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I came here with a friend for the first time. We had booked appointments together. The girls were on time and they kept my friend and I together, even though it was really busy, so we could chat. The colour selection was good, but could be a bit better. I just got a regular manicure and it chipped by the next day. I feel like that happens to me no matter how professional it's done. I think I need to try shellac or gel next time. My pedicure on the other hand lasted a long time! They did a great job, and I really enjoyed the massaging chairs. Great price for the mani pedi. I would come back for sure. read more

Great service and GREAT workmanship. Ladies, if you're going to pay for a shellac Manicure you NEED to go here. I've had manicured by both May and Michelle and they were both incredible. Gorgeous cuticle work, and the polish itself literally would NOT come off! I had to come 3 weeks later to have it removed (which I LOVE as this is what shellac is supposed to be!!) The price is fairly typical for the Summerhill area (about $35), and I admit that the decor of the place isn't necessarily "modern" or "super fresh and trendy", but the quality of the work is 100% worth every penny. Try it out! read more

Came on a Thursday around 4. It was already packed but they still squeezed me in immediately. I got the SNS organic nails (powder dip nails), done by Nancy. She was very fast, especially compared to the last salon I went to, and a million times better. I am very happy with the results and will be sticking with this salon indefinitely. read more

If you're looking for your first shellac experience, this is the place! I was looking for something in the area and noticed it was right across the street from another appointment. I was promptly greeted by a friendly young miss who guided me to choose a colour. My manicurist, Vivian, was a kind, soft spoken woman who greeted me with a wonderful smile. She is meticulously brilliant at her craft, asking several times if I approved of her work. I'm a sucker for a good nearly-white polish and Vivian delivered. My shellac mani was worth the $25 dollars. The salon was very clean, bright and airy. Vivian was quick! I was in and out of there in no time. Kudos to the entire team. Very happy with my wonderful winter mani. read more

I LOVE Mani-Pedi Spa!!!! I am never disappointed with my nails! I get SNS application and my nails are like rocks! Helen does an amazing job and so do the other manicurists. My pedicures always look beautiful too! Nicole is my go-to. My friends now book appointments here and are amazed with the results. All the staff are so polite and professional. Enjoy!

Mani Pedi Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a clean, well-run, no-nonsense nail place. All the techs I've had have been friendly and skilled. Can't complain about a thing. Shaping, painting, etc., have all been done really well. My friends' nails and toes have all come out nicely as well. $76 for a shellac mani-pedi is a good deal these days, as well. Would absolutely recommend. read more

I shall begin my review with the following disclaimer: I have only ever had my nails done at a proper spa prior to this visit, and had never been to a stand-alone nail salon. My usual spa is located in a hotel and offers impeccable service, superior hygiene practices, and zen-like ambience. That is to say, I may have been spoiled. In desperate need of a quick toe polish change and strapped for time, I decided to give Mani Pedi Spa a chance because: (a) it's in the neighbourhood; and (b) it appears to be very popular. The person who answered the phone when I called to request a last-minute booking was very friendly and accommodating, so we were off to a good start. Upon arrival, I was a bit overwhelmed by the noise and the chaotic atmosphere. There were a LOT of people around and staff members were rushing back and forth, yelling to one another across the room. I was directed to a display of a wide range of polishes, which was great, and then seated fairly quickly in a massage chair. I find those chairs a little tacky, but hey, they feel good, so I can't really complain. The basin was lined with some sort of plastic (for hygienic reasons, I assume), which I found odd, but still comforting, as it suggests consciousness of the need for infection control. My nail technician was polite and efficient, and the work was adequate - not a perfectionist's approach, but good. I was then directed towards a drying station of what appeared to be some sort of UV lights, which was strange because I had not gotten a shellac polish, but I went along with it because there didn't seem to be much space for just sitting and waiting for your nails to dry. I was uncomfortable with how long I and others were left to dry our nails under those lamps - I am pretty certain that they cause skin cancer - so I left shortly thereafter. Everyone was very friendly and helpful on the way out, as well. On the whole, the place provides reasonably good service and quality of work, but the chaotic environment, the cacophony of yelling voices, and the UV lamps do not make for a spa-like experience. I would say that this is a good option for a quick touch up or change, but would not recommend it for a "treat yourself" mani-pedi. read more

If spa is a place where you relax in quiet; this place isn't one of them. It is way too loud, not because it is crowded but cuz the staff is constantly yelling across the room to each other. There is always some running around, which I found a bit overwhelming. My mani pedi was a nice job but maybe a bit too slow, almost 2h. The girls are chatting in their native language and giggling all the time staring at your blank face. I don't mind the native language part but giggling and staring didn't make me feel good. Accepts walk-ins. Cash payment is tax free read more

Great job and respectful staff. Nice vibe , definitely go there again. Their shelack work is still fresh after two weeks read more

Good place for the convenience of staying open late ! Also great as there's always parking on the summer hill bridge one street north of their location. The spa itself is busy busy busy and even with an appointment expect to wait. They have a lot of colour selections but keep in mind if you're getting bio gel nails , they don't actually have bio gel colour you will have to get shellac on top. A toe nail polish change is about $13 and with the bio gel nails and shellac I believe it came to just above $70. Overall it's better than the nail place across the road and cleaner than many others I've been to !! Picture is a week later still no chips :) read more

I don't even want to write this because this manicure place is busy enough, but it's only fair to them. I think this place is great! I have walked in on two separate Saturdays, and while it's been busy, I have been taken care of quickly. Really reasonable prices. Nice staff, clean place, they do a good job quickly and efficiently. I have no complaints. read more

I've been going here since 2008 and even though my workplace and home is far, I still make time to come here at least once a month as it's that good. They don't even let you walk out the door unless your wax or nails are perfect, often redoing things if asked or if they think it's needed. I've even had my nails for my wedding done there, no other nail place does a french shellac the exact way I want like they do. The staff are some of the most kindest, warmhearted people you will meet and they've stayed open late for me many a time due to my arriving late. Their popularity is catching on in the years though, so it's best to call ahead and make appointments. read more

I have been looking for a great place to get a lasting shellac manicure. I have tried several salons on friends' recommendations and unfortunately have not had it last barely the guaranteed 14 days. I took a chance at Mani Pedi spa based on the yelp reviews and was not disappointed. My French shellac is still going at almost 12 days and May took her time to make sure the French was perfect. $35 was definitely worth the time and effort she put into my nails. Only complaint is that I made an appointment for 6 but was not taken until 20 mins later (arrived 5 mins early) which was slightly disappointing considering there's a reason to make an appointment - so you don't have to wait in line. It seems they were super busy and everyone with an Appointment had to wait. Otherwise I would definitely return. read more

Awesome. I called ahead and got an appointment same day for an SNS organic powder full set. John the owner introduced himself as soon as I walked in. The place was busy, very clean, and everyone was friendly and professional. Karen did my nails and she did a meticulous job on my cuticles and used the drill without wearing down my natural nail too much. The result? VERY natural-looking and strong set of (artificial) powder-gel nails and tips. I love them! read more

Mani Pedi Spa - SNS organic powder nail set! So natural looking!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nancy is the BEST. She does excellent gel nails, is a perfectionist, but still quite quick. NOTE: she is the ONLY one who does acrylic/gel nails there. Don't see anyone else even if they try and book you with someone else - I had a fill once from someone other than Nancy and it took 2 hours. Brutal. The pedicures are OK but I do find that if it's super busy they will rush through it a bit. Very quick massage at the end. Typical cozy chairs with the massage feature. A couple of TV's but the one by the area where you get your nails done is never on. What's the point? Nancy also does a great eyebrow wax. I've been a big fan for 2 years and Nancy even did my nails for my wedding. read more

Really nice experience, fast, cheap and meticulous work. No pain, amazing results. Lots of care in their work!! Defo recommend. I got a blue polish- not sure i'd do that again, but there is TON's to choose from! read more

The last time I visited in December, Nancy did my nails and they turned out great! I look forward to visiting again soon. read more

I used to get my nails done here but have since moved on -- like a lot of the other reviews say, it's a very busy environment and so it isn't a relaxing experience AT ALL. I stopped going when I went in to have my regular mani/pedi and also wanted to have my legs waxed and armpits-- they told me they would to the waxing after, which they did and I ended up completely raw. The woman who did it seemed very inexperienced and had to call someone else in to help her get the gobs of wax on that she had clearly over-applied and was burning my skin. I have had a lot of waxing done and I have never had such a negative experience before or since. Pros: clean, good nail work Cons: weird starting and laughing(as mentioned in other reviews)- not something I have experienced at other nail salons, services+wait time is just too long- just not cheap enough for the wait. read more

I went here for a shellac manicure and was not disappointed! They carry new Essie shellac line with a lot of color selection in shellac gel and regular polish. My nail tech, Kim, was very sweet and gentle with my manicure - stopping occasionally to make sure that I was happy with everything. $30 for the shellac mani made this well worth the money. The salon was clean and quiet. I will be going back for more! read more

After reading the previous posts, I thought this would be a great option to get my gel nails redone before going on vacation. I can't speak for the standard mani/pedi services, but the service & quality of work I walked away with does not match the preview reviews. I asked the girl for UV gel nails and asked how they would be applied (knowing that no gel uses a powder), and she explained using a powder - this should have been my first clue to leave. At this point, I asked for the $50 bio sculpture gel nails, which I knew were actually gel. She tried to talk me out of it, and soon after she started them she pulled out a notepad on her lap with instructions on how to do them... no wonder she tried to get me to do the other two methods - she probably knew how to apply acrylic nails. Further... upon asking what colour I would like I said "no colour, I like the natural look"... she told me I had to have a colour. Now I know it's because her work was not good enough to not cover it up with a colour - AND when I got to the register to pay, it was an extra $15 for the colour that she said I "HAD" to have. All in all, I overpaid for expensive gel nails that were poorly done - put on way too thick by someone who did not know what she was doing, and uneven as a finished product - and the salon was trying to pass acrylic powder cured under a UV lamp as UV gel nails. Whatever you do, DO NOT go here for GEL NAILS. read more

Friendly Clean - didn't smell like chemicals Variety of colours available - I had both a medi/pedi done. - the girl who did my medi wasn't the best (forgot her name). She pushed back and trimmed my cuticles really hard but her painting is nice. -Quyen (I think I'm spelling it wrong) did my pedi. She was really nice and thorough but she cut my big toe nail short and now it really hurts when I walk. Her painting isn't the best :( -Probably best if your planning to go book an appointment. I booked an appointment that morning and happy I did because once I sat down it got super busy all pedi chairs were full - I was in the area and saw other reviews thought I try read more

Pretty disappointed with my service. I had a full SNS powder set done with a woman named Tu. I told her repeatedly that I'm sensitive to the drill (used for nail extensions) and she was really rough with me. Also, at the beginning of the appt I showed her a design I wanted and she said she could do it. Once she went to do it, she told me she didn't know how. I also pointed out a seriously crooked nail that she said she'd fix and never did. Now I'm left with nails that I paid $60 for that I really hate because they look like I'm going to grade 8 graduation. read more

Run. Run far and fast away from this salon. The staff is rude, most of all Michelle. Michelle chews her gum then cracks it in your face! I booked myself and 3 others in for dip nails - $50 each + $1 for the nail files. Lee missed the last step on more than one nail for one of us. Another's nails were cracking within 4 days! My nails started cracking within 5 days! The first chance I had to go back was 8 days after my dip nail manicure. The owner, John, tried to send me away because the girl who did dip nails was busy. Seriously?!? This is your business. Don't make your problems my problems and fix your mistakes. The service and attention to detail is just not there. For $50 dip nail manicure, give this place a swerve! read more

Terrible. I had a good first experience here, and then when I went back, absolutely horrible. My manicurist tried to charge me an extra $5 for a third coat of shellac for a standard shellac manicure even though I could still see my own nail through two coats. When I asked her to do a third coat because I could still see my own natural nail through two, she said "looks good to me" and then through her mask, she apparently told me it would be an extra $5, which I never heard her say. I have never had this issue anywhere else, and if the colour selected ever required three coats, it's NEVER an issue. Not to mention that now three days afterwards, one of my nails has turned yellow. This place is a money grab and unfortunately for them, there are three new nail salons within a block that don't pull that crap on clients. Never going back. EVER. read more

Nestled inside an old folks' condominium building right at Summerhill Station is this little gem, Mani Pedi Spa. In case, from the clandestine name, you can't figure out what they do, they do manis and they do pedis. And they do waxing and facials and a bunch of other esthetic services. I've been a steady attendant here for the past 4 years. It started when I worked at Yonge & St. Clair, but now I work downtown and I live on the Danforth and I still go here, because it's amazing. The steady flow of customers alludes you to the fact that they do well most of the year. The even steadier flow of repeat customers, who all of the estheticians know by name, is even better. If you plan to attend more than once, they provide you with your own box with a nail file, buffer, etc. in it with your name on it and they keep it stored until your next visit so there isn't so much waste. They have TV's, a terrible, perpetually playing CD of piano cover versions of songs from West Side Story and St. Elmo's Fire and comfy, massaging chairs. They have a great selection of O.P.I. polishes (for sale too) and a manicure/pedicure will run you exactly $35 if you pay cash (yes, they do that here, which is amazing. Damn the man) but they accept credit cards, debit and sell gift certificates. There is a competitor nail shop across the street which I have never been to and which I never plan to go to, because this place is so good. I've taken friends and family here, I had my nails done here for my wedding, yeah, it's that good. I highly, highly recommend it. You may want to bring some headphones with you so you don't have to listen to their shitty CD, or so you don't have to overhear the annoying conversations of some of the "entitled" Rosehill/Summerhil older females who assume every esthetician is from China and asks them things like "how often you do go home? I've been to China once, they have beautiful silks there....." Oh...ma....ga.....that's the only annoying part. But they perform a meticulous service every time. They will redo a nail if they feel it's not good enough (even if you have no complaint and can't tell at all) and they are always warm and welcoming. Love it. read more

Out of the all the cheap nail salons I've been to, Mani Pedi Spa is the best! Great attention to nail details and amazing customer service! The salon has a variety of nail polishes for a regular manicure, as well as a Shellac manicure. The former is $15, the latter is $30, and pedicures are $20. I got a French manicure for $5 extra and its worth every penny! Jenny took her time and care when attending to my gross cuticles and never rushed despite the growing number of waiting customers. You also get your own box of nail tools which include files and clippers after becoming a regular customer (apparently 5+ visits), however they still used new nail tools right out of the package, with the exception of files and buffers. Customer service is what makes this salon stand out amongst other cheap nail salons Ive been to in the same price range; the staff greeted all regular customers by name, which made the atmosphere feel more welcoming. I usually avoid nail salons because the staff look so miserable (brings up some personal Asian guilt), but everyone here looked happy and pleasant. My only complaint are the other customers; a lot of them are stereotypical Summerhill/Rosedale crowd. I live in the area too and even I am not as majorly stuck up, self entitled, and superficial as these ladies. The place immediately reeks of old money, which can make some newbies uncomfortable. Overall, I highly recommend this salon! The price is very reasonable and on par with other salons that charge you more for great customer service and drinks. Make sure you get there early or make an appointment, as this place is always busy! read more

The girl Cathy at the front is nasty. My manicurist wore a mask and didnt speak English. She was putting the wrong colour on. When i mentioned this, they wanted $13 to change in. Will never go there again! read more

I love this place. I go every 2 weeks, I get Quyen to do my hands and Lee to do my feet. John the manager is really friendly and always know that its me when I call. They offer complementary water.

I've been here twice, and my first experience was far superior to my second, which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2. My most recent experience was highly irritating. More often than not I had to strain to hear the relaxing music playingsoftly in the background while all the staff shouted and tried to be heard over each other. I left with a headache, it was so irritably loud. The worst culprit was the owner/manager who was yelling louder than anyone else. I don't think I'll come back for that reason, even though the pedi I got was fine. read more

amazing job my mom and i went and my mom is obsessed with her manicure. the service was great and everyone was so nice

Decent experience and Shellac looked OK right after having it done. However, after 2 days my nails all started breaking under the Shellac and chipping! I have never had this happen before with Shellac. It's now been a week and my nails look absolutely awful! I'm not sure what they did but my nails look way worse than they did before going to Mani Pedi Spa. read more

Finally I got to try this place out today! I work up the street from it and have passed by so many times. In the summer I would always noticed it was so packed and kept telling myself to go after work one day. Today was the day! I finished early and my sister was @ the office with me so I called and asked if they had an opening in 10 minutes for 2 shellac manicures. The man on the phone (who I presume is the owner) said of course and to come in. We were greeted promptly at the door and was told to choose our colour of shellac polish. We picked and sat down. We got a very thorough manicure, sometimes places that offer shellac will give a mini manicure and rush through it to get onto the shellac application but they did the normal manicure routine very well. Soaked, filed, cut cuticles, buffed, filed again to make sure we were happy and had us wah our hands before the shellac application (my sister was impressed at that part b/c most places only ask you to wash before acrylic/gel application) They were very precise with the shellac application and after the color was set with the lights they gave a quick hand massage, hot towel and of course cuticle oil. I was seated right at the front area and overheard many people paying/booking appts over the phone in person. Everyone is really friendly here and I didn't hear one appt not taken or not one person leave disappointed. They really tend to their customers and have a strong clientle. The places was packed, even in the snow storm at least 7 ladies were getting pedicures and a handful were getting manicures with anotehr bunch at the drying station. You would have thought it was summer outside! Can't wait to go back and hoping to make this my Thursday after work nail salon :) read more
