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.

This is the newest entrant to the Byward Market nail salon industry and it is easily the best! I've…read morebeen to plenty of nail salons around the world and around this city. Sis2 is excellent. The service is always friendly, courteous, and professional. I have never had a bad experience here and I've been coming since it's soft opening in December, 2016. Sis2 has the widest range of nail polish colors I have seen in any salon. They use a fabulous Asian brand and a terrific technique to remove shellac polish. I typically come for the nail services, but I have had a massage as well. It was quite good. You cannot beat this place for it's convenient location and hours, and the prices are excellent. I will never go to any other salon in Ottawa.

I wish I could give them a stronger review as I have been going to this nail spot for over a year…read more However, as a long standing customer, I would expect to have a constant nail tech. They bounce me around from one nail tech to another, and they do not all the same level of experience. My most recent experience might have been my last, I received a gel overlay with Shellac and usually it is no issue getting in and out in an hour. Since the tech took longer than expected to remove the last colour and shape my nails, she wasnt able to give me a proper gel overlay since I had to be out in an hour and 20 min. About 20 minutes into the appointment I had to mention that I had another appointment, I thought I gave myself more than enough time (I am seasoned at getting my nails done so I expected the typical hour appointment). With the time she spent shaping my nails, I would have expected them to be better shaped but they were not straight and were not the almond shape I requested. Since we couldnt complete the gel overlay properly the shellac colour did not go on properly and it is uneven and thick. As a loyal customer, I would have expected better service and better quality.

One of the most overpriced and terrible nail salons i have ever been to!…read moreI had been here 4 days ago for a shellac manicure and pedicure. They charge 187$ for the same which is approximately 2x the normal price for these services. The price would be justified had the experience been good. But after 2nd day the shellac started peeling off and today the nails have started to break as the girl who did my nails- "Harriet" wasn't good in her job. If you see the pictures you can figure how shabbily the nails are painted! This is totally terrible and unacceptable when you charge so much and don't have people who know how to do a job well. One the most horrible experiences i have had! Completely overpriced and overrated and terrible customer service. I called several times but no one bothered to respond or call back! Highly disappointed.

I just finished my six treatment at this clinic and honestly, I cannot complain. The prices are…read moreextremely reasonable. Every appointment that I have had has been amazing. If you go before 5 PM, you usually do not have to wait since everyone is still at school and work. This clinic is situated inside the Rideau Centre. There is not much free parking since it is right beside the University of Ottawa. You will have to pay for parking but is transportation friendly. Usually the person who greets you at the front is the person who will be with you for that day. The service is always friendly. There are numerous deals from laser, Botox. filler and serums for the body.

Even when Top Nails opened up their second location, I followed Tracy because she very good at mani and pedi's. I always got dip powder and a regular pedi and she never disappointed me. Always kind and professional, the employees always refer to you as "my dear". I never had any issues with Tracy or others, I wish that I could've packed them up and brought them to the States lol. The new location at 500 bank street is clean and quiet - whether a day of self-care or a long work day anyone would appreciate that type of ambiance. Thank you Top Nails for taking care of this American girl, until next time!
