I came in today on my way to dinner/concert, I was frantically looking for a nail salon in the area. Victor greeted me and I asked if he can please repair my nail that flung off in an unknown destination. I hate when one nail breaks, I feel uncomfortable/unkept when ones missing. He kindly accepted no hassle at all. Surprised & relieved as I was willing to pay $20 for 1 nail repair. (Side note: Weird some nail salons make you feel you're imposing on them for a 'small/non profit service' especially if it's salon that did the set) I digress. Victor was Extremely Friendly and efficiently quick. Shape was amazing compared to the wreckage the initial person did. If I had time, I would of ask to refill, shape & shellac the whole set. Very nicely done, I was fairly impressed tbh. If I lived in the area, he would definitely be my new preferred monthly Nail Technician. I've been having my nails done since it was the new craze many moons ago and hands down, Victor knows what he's doing. So hard to find a a decent nail tech, let alone a very nice one that is quick, kind & efficient where I don't have to sit for hours trying to look like a civilized human being. We had a great conversation in the limited time I was there. I was so impressed, which led me to this review. Very much deservingly so. Nice clean bright salon. Ample amount of parking in back. Cute fish tank in front, spacious with ample nail and pedicure stations. Huge TV was on as we watched and talked about Euro soccer. A lot of ppl in and out as each one of them seemed like regular clients, he knew them all while multitasking answering numerous calls. (My husband can't drive & talk, so that was impressive!) I did not feel rushed, actually there was a calm spa like vibe going on where others respected each others nail/spa time. It was nice. Others tech smiled at me like they were happy to be there. The previous 5 star reviews speak for themselves. If I'm ever in the area I'll make a point-to see Victor again and get all my monthly nail/pedi services done. I graciously tipped him well and left with a happy vibe & smile. It was a pleasure meeting you & Thank you Victor for saving my evening by just being you. read more

Amazing job done on my nails. My friend recommended this place and I can guarantee I will be coming back here for sure. My nail fill was only 20 dollars. The nail shape is really beautiful as well. The salon itself was very clean and big, and they had a big tv you could watch while getting your nailsdone. They were very friendly people as well . read more

Metro Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I didn't have an appointment but I was able to get serviced right away for a regular pedi and mani. It's best to make an appointment though as some customers were turned away because it was so busy. I enjoyed my service and felt my nail person did a good job. It took about 1 hour to do both pedi and mani. She didn't engage in conversation and that was perfect for me. I enjoy being pampered without making conversation. The place was extremely clean. I didn't go to the washroom, but from what I saw of the salon itself, it was clean. The cost was $35 including tax, which is on par with other salons. I paid $40 with tip in cash. I like this place because it's clean and my nails were done well. I'll be back. read more

Metro Nails & Spa - Price list Sept 23, 2017 - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Getting the pedi on a Friday is always a great way to finish off the week. I had intended on getting a mani and a pedi, but the timing was just not in the cards. Let me clarify, I had enough time for a standard mani/pedi sit down, but whether it was the engrossing (not) soccer game on the big screen or a brand new manicurist one of them definitely slowed the process down. I did enjoy the special attention paid to my toes with a hot stone treatment and intensive massage, and my toes are still going strong a couple of weeks later. The salon itself is nothing special, not clean enough to wax as per Abby R, but the utensils were clean and I haven't contracted anything contagious yet. Price wise, while this isn't the most I've ever paid it certainly is not the least at $25 after tip. Their deal for a mani/pedi is $35.00 so that seems a little more reasonable. Bottom line...when I am deep onto the Danforth this pedi place is a reasonable stop. read more

I went in during the afternoon on a weekday to get a shellac mani ($30). No waiting - but the lady who did my nails seemed to just hate my vibe or was having a bad day. No real chit chat except to randomly comment that my hair looked like blood (I have deep red hair) and when I picked white for my nail colour she commented it was a 'boring' color. Erm.... I stuck it out but felt a little uncomfortable after those comments. As much as I content with my nails after (long lasting!) I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are more positive, happy places (or at least no negative comments to your face) to get your nails done on the Danforth! read more

I am VERY particular about getting my nails done because I can actually do it pretty well myself, so if I pay for someone else to do it, I want it to be done right. I also like to relax while I'm there. It took me 2 year to find a place that lived up to expectation - this is it! THE GOOD: CLEAN: Everything looks new and very clean LAYOUT/EQUIPMENT: TV situated right in front of pedicure and manicure stations. Easy to watch but easy to ignore. Volume is loud enough to follow along but not so loud that it's all you can pay attention to. Pedicure and manicure chairs are comfortable. If you're getting shellac, the UV lights are built into the manicure tables which is a nicer and more comfortable setup for the customer. NAIL COLOURS: Lots of options for Shellac colours HOURS: Stayed open late to fit me in PACE: Did not rush through my treatment but they weren't slow either TALENT: They did a great job. I had two different people do my hands and toes and they were both very good of what they do PRICE: Shellac mani = $30, and regular pedi = $25 THE BAD: NAIL COLOURS: The options for neutral colours (soft pinks, light nude tones) was lacking for regular nail polish. I'm considering mentioning this next time to see if they're willing to stock up. Otherwise, I can just bring my own. WILL I GO BACK? I will absolutely be going back - this will now be my #1 go to place. read more

The last time I visited Metro Nails I had a great manicure and pedicure. The shellac lasts for over a week on my hands (maybe 2) and months on my feet. But their customer service went above and beyond what I've ever gotten from a nail salon - I accidentally left my licence there and then forgot for a few weeks where I had left it (I don't drive so I wasn't really looking for it). One night after dinner the owner showed up at my house, WITH MY LICENCE! He said he had tried a few times but I wasn't home. I will forever give Metro Nails my business! read more

I wandered away from home this time and I'm pleased to announce that this is a decent place to have your nails done at for a very reasonable amount of money. I had a full set acrylic today because my natural nails become brittle and tear off in colder weather. The tech was very accommodating with my requests for a particular shape and lenghth and she made sure to double check her work as she moved along. She also consulted with me before she was too fargone from any particular step in the process. The cost was only $25. Yay! The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is that she did indeed fumble with the polish a bit and due to the color I chose being more nuetral you can see the little streaks of inconsistency on a few fingers while other fingers are simply okay. Would recommened!! read more

Very clean, they don't yap with you if you don't want, some of the customers on the other hand treat the staff like dirt and think they are several classes above people. The colour selection is amazing and my last manicure has lasted almost 3 weeks. read more

I can't believe this place is still open. I started getting my eyebrows waxed because it was cheap. However, The main lady who's always been there messed up my right brow so bad that it's been at least 10 years and the brow still won't grow out properly, plus the arch is higher than my left one. Mind you, because I didn't think of getting them done at another place since it was close to home, I kept going back when I shouldn't have. One time I wanted my invisible white facial hair waxed as well (again I was being dumb) and my face went purple. Yup. Purple. The wax irritated my face so bad. I bawled my eyes out. It was disgusting. More than times than not it was too hot as well, and they would blow on it to cool it off. Yuck. read more

I went to this place after reading some good reviews on Yelp and came out very disappointed. The positives: It looked clean, had a great colour selection. And that's about where it ends. Negatives: I found staff to be rude, they actually cut my nail and didn't treat it (resulting in an infection) and I saw one of the workers pouring generic nail top and base coat into the OPI bottles, which I think is pretty deceptive. Both manicure and pedicure chipped within two days. I would not go back. read more

Always impeccable service from Victor and the ladies! I've been coming to Metro Nails for years and have never had a less than stellar experience. Clean facilities, friendly staff, wide polish colour selection and reasonable pricing. This salon is a neighbourhood gem. read more

Metro Nails is my go-to place. Reasonable rates. My nails rarely break with bio-gel. free parking in the rear of the building. Love the cleanliness of Metro Nails. read more

Chose to go here because they were the closets spot to me, really wanted to enjoy my time off but had a bizarre experience. I am a young adult and when I walked in the response was immediately not a friendly one. They told me it would be 30mins, even though people were free, I kept the benefit of the doubt and figured they were on break. 15 minutes in they realized I was not leaving and they got me to choose a colour, when I turned around I realized the woman had started filling up a foot tub for me, even though I asked for a manicure. When I told her that she became very bitter and told me to sit down. We didn't talk at all and when she put my nails under the heat lamp (which I didn't even know they used anymore) she left me hanging. I just tested my nails by myself and stood up to pay, I tipped 15% because I always do and she looked as though I had cheated her out of her money. Most likely won't come back, let's just see how my nails hold up. read more

I've been to this place a few times but today I called last min after trying to make an appointment somewhere else and leaving after waiting 45mins.... This place is good for it's price. They're not the best at conversation but there is a tv to watch while getting your nails done so it's not as awkward as some places. The place is clean and you get your own nail box. Had shellac done today with some random sparkles added for new years and I'm very happy. read more

The service was average. I've definitely received better. The drying process took longer than the actual pedicure.. She barely cleaned my nails. Wouldn't return. read more

Trifecta!! quality service, speed and the price was right. Will be back

I like Metro Nails. They are very accommodating and professional. Also, they have 2 parking spaces to the south which makes it convenient.

I just went to metro nails as it is in my neighbourhood and had received pretty good reivews. I was sadly disappointed. I had a mani-pedi. My one toe was bumped when the girl went to put my foot under the dryer and she just wanted to cover the bumpy gash with more polish. My cuticles on three of my fingers are still bleeding and throbbing. I didn't want polish on my hands, I like the to look natural. The way my nails were cut and finished, they look like I bite my nails. read more

I had a mani/pedi done last Saturday. It was a walk-in and I was lucky to get a time slot with Victor. I came in at around 6:30pm and he finished both mani/pedi At about 8:10pm. Very nice, he took her time and he wasn't in a rush to usher me out. I've been going to Metro Nails for years and live the service. It has a huge tv, magazines and messaging chairs. Highly recommended. Always consistent. They've redone a couple of nails before when I would accidentally nudge it against something. read more

Had my nails done here for the first time and I really enjoyed the service. It was pleasantly quiet and no forced conversation, the lady doing my nails was happy to talk if I felt inclined but she didn't create and drag out conversations which was nice. I was really surprised that they assign you your own little kit for each time you come back. I plan on going back here as long as I'm in town. If your looking for somewhere simple and clean to get your nails done this place is definitely good to check out. read more

Great service. They are always professional and fast. The space is bright, clean and spacious. The number one item I look for in nail salons is cleanliness and they always clean the foot baths after each use. For regular customers they will store your own nail kit for extra assurance for hygiene, which is great for peace of mind. I always recommend Metro Nails to all my friends and family, it's so great having a reliable nail salon in my neighbourhood. They always try and accommodate and will try and squeeze you in but it is best to call ahead and make an appointment and they try really hard to stick to their schedule. read more

The worst service I've ever had plus my polish was painted so bad... I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and was looking forward to a long deserved pedicure... me and my friend started at the same time and I was done in about 10-15 mins where as she got a nice enjoyable pedicure... the lady I had was extremely rude and gave me dirty looks when I asked her to buff the top of my nail plus use the razor thing for dead skin as she wanted to skip that part.. I tried saying thank u and smiling after everything I asked and even just because and she never spoke one word to me only gave me dirty looks. I felt so uncomfortable but was just thinking about my nice toes... which those ended up looking like crap after she smudged my big toe and tried painting on top of it.. well three coats later to all my toes and they still looked horrible. I watched my friend get a nice leg/foot rub as the lady half a** rubbed my feet and legs for maybe 1 min or less... my friend kept apologizing to me and saying I am pregnant and deserved the good treatment she was receiving (in the end she wasn't very happy with hers either but it was better than mine). complete disrespect when she wanted me to move positions she would just hit my hit or poke me or aggressively move my poor swollen feet/ankles herself. She left me sitting with my toes to dry and never came to check on me and got someone else to retrieve my payment. DO NOT GO THERE IT IS TERRIBLE SERVICE AND TREATMENT! I AM USUALLY A GREAT TIPPER AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I DECIDED TO NOT TIP AT ALL. I am so disappointed and already thinking about getting another one as this one just didn't do me any justice!! read more
