This is probably the worst nail treatment I've ever had. I booked a shellac renew, which typically…read moretakes 30 minutes elsewhere. It took an hour here because the staff member (Mary I believe) was so unskilled and poorly trained. She scraped the old shellac with so much force it was painful and she also ripped off half a nail, which is now damaged and sore. She also cut two of my cuticles, one of which is still very painful and red. Her shellac application was pretty messy and she filed my nails at odd angles. I regret leaving a tip because I feel like I rewarded her. I would avoid this place, or at least make sure you don't book with Mary.

I recently booked a last minute Essential Pedicure appointment for my Mom and me. The receptionist…read morewas friendly and easy to book with since I didn't see any immediate availability on their online booking system. The spa has a very welcoming vibe to it once you walk in and it was nicely decorated inside and out for Christmas. It was also noticeably clean, which I immediately look at before receiving a spa treatment. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and our coats were taken from us to be hung up. We were then asked if we wanted any coffee or tea while we received our spa service. The coffee was good and nice to sip on to warm up. Melanie did my pedicure and Megan did my Mom's. They were both masked, professional and friendly. They made sure my Mom and I were both comfortable during the entire time. We sat in massage chairs that were so relaxing. There were plenty of nail polish colour options to choose from and we both chose festive Christmas colours. Overall, our pedicure experience was very relaxing and pleasant. I would definitely come back here with my Mom for a pedicure with Melanie and Megan. We would like to try getting manicures in the future with them. The spa is located in the heart of Manotick village, so it's very close to cute shops and cafes. Great location and would highly recommend!

After having a brain tumor a year ago this was my first time back at a hair salon. I asked…read moreMicheline for blonde highlights and a natural fade at the top so the growth back wouldn't be as visible. Left with a darker shade. Stylist didn't bother to set a timer and the toner ended up darkening my hair to the point where the highlights weren't even visible. Don't recommend this stylist she was rough and unprofessional. Hair is fried and not an inch of blonde is visible.

If you go here, you must visit Vanessa! She is fantastic, and super sweet and will take her time…read morewith you. I came by for a pedicure, gel nails and shellac a few weeks ago. The pedicure I got was the best I have ever had. My nails looked so neat, and the colour is still on my toes! The massage chairs are divine- but don't be shy to ask how they work. It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but once I nailed the setting, I was able to enjoy it. The gel nails I got stayed on for about 3 weeks, until I went into the salon to have them taken off. They were in great shape when I had them removed, but I had just grown old of them. The shellac stayed on for this full period too, without chipping-- which is more than what I can say for most salons offering shellac polish. I was really impressed that Vanessa stayed after the closing hour to complete my nails, without rushing me. Overall, the decor is a bit tacky, but I will come here again for the service. It is fantastic, very affordable and the products are the best I have received. They have a GREAT, fun selection of polishes, including the shellac too (many other salons don't have a great selection). I would recommend this salon to friends, and would definitely go again!

This was my third time at Vanne's but service was disappointing. There has been little consistency…read morefrom visit to visit. Until now, I was reasonably satisfied, but after today, I will not likely be back. Attendants were brisk and rushed, despite the fact that I had booked an appointment days in advance and I arrived well ahead of my appointment time. My toenails were not shaped at all, and the nail polish was thick and should have been thrown out. There are many shops out there that are more conscientious and that charge less. I could not recommend Vannes based on today's experience.

I came here for my very first Brazilian wax, encouraged with the purchase of a Groupon. I mention…read morethe Groupon, because usually when I use a Groupon for a service businesses have select appointment windows and it can sometimes be difficult to get a convenient time-slot--Sophia Esthetic was a pleasant exception. Their receptionist was friendly and super accommodating with the schedule. The spa itself isn't the easiest to get to because it's up a flight of stairs and down a hallway--there are other similar businesses in the same building so it's not sketchy or anything. The location itself is convenient though, just at the corner of MacLaren and Elgin. Once I figured out where the spa was I was impressed--it was warm and comfortable, there's a waterfall in the waiting room and calming music playing to create a nice relaxing ambiance. I saw Brittany and she was awesome. She was friendly and she made me feel comfortable and did a good job answering my questions. The room was clean, well-kept and prepared freshly before I went in. The whole experience was quick, clean, and not overly painful.

I kept telling her what I wanted and she kept arguing with me about what I should and shouldn't do to my hair. I showed her a picture and told her i didn't want layers in the front, FULL layers in the front, asked her for layers in the back NO layers. I came out extremely mad and disappointed. I will NEVER go back. Also 90$, and most definitely not worth it! I dont mind paying more when the hairstylist listens and does what i ask, that was NOT the case.
