I wish I lived closer to this nail salon, that's how much I enjoyed my experience here! During a trip to Ottawa to visit family, I decided to stop enroute in Oshawa to have a quick manicure. I found a Groupon for a shellac mani at Nail Language that had positive reviews, so I gave them a call and booked an appointment.
This quaint Asian-owned salon is tucked away in a small plaza that is roughly 10 minutes north of the 401. When I arrived I was greeted by a man at reception who spoke English. I assumed he was the appointment coordinator since he was managing the phones. However, I soon discovered that he is also a nail technician who would be doing my manicure.
I'm not gonna lie, I was a little leery about having a guy do my nails, especially since I was having a shellac mani which requires more skill. To my great relief, Ivan put all my fears to rest. He is very detailed and did an excellent job!!! His hand & arm massage at the end is a nice touch too.
My shellac mani looked beautiful and did not chip at all throughout the lifespan of the manicure (which exceeded 2 weeks and was closer to 3!). I would not hesitate to return to this nail salon and would recommend it if you are in the area. read more
