The worst shellac pedicure. I have been coming here for years. I book the appointment online. Olivia did my pedicure, when she was going over my nails with that tool she cut my skin on two toes on each foot. Not even sorry nothing. Like it was normal. Wtf. Never again. I even left $5 tip cuz it's Christmas. Never again. Zero stars. !!! read more

Best Nail salon in this area!!!! My mom and I came here today for my bday mani/pedi. The staff are super kind and professional and they are adhering to CDC guidelines of the current pandemic which is a plus. All customers and staff are wearing masks and there is plexiglass barriers at the mani and pedi stations. So they are ensuring their safety and the safety of all their customers. Vicky did my pedi and Amy did my mani. Both techs are awesome and they paid attention to detail. You can clearly see that they are hard working and they truly care about their customers. I love this place and I will recommend it to everyone I know that visits the Toronto area. They do facials, eyebrows, lashes, waxing, threading, tinting....basically everything you can think of for all your esthetic needs. It's a One stop beautifying shop. I don't usually give out 5 stars but they truly deserve it! Thanks again Nails For You!!! read more

UPDATE: The owner has reached out to resolve the issue, so hopefully I will continue to have more pleasant experiences at this salon in the future. .... To give some context to my review, I've been going to Nails For You on North Queen for over a year now, typically twice to three times a month and have had mainly really good experiences. However, the last few times I've gone I feel like I've been let down. I've had gel nails for a long time and just recently had them removed. I always get shellac polish, never had a problem with this before as one would probably assume. Until about a week a week or so ago when I went in to remove my bio gel nails, and get a shellac manicure. I'm really not that fussy of a person and this particular day was an overall bad day for me so I did not take it upon myself to critique the tech at the time, but about a week ago when I went in, the service was just overall not what I would typically expect from this salon. Again, I didn't correct the things I was unhappy with at the time so I won't speak to that but I will say that not 2 days after getting a shellac manicure, my nails turned from the berry colour I'd chosen to orange and blotchy looking all over. It was hideous, but I was too busy to go in to have it fixed so I decided the next time I was at the salon I would say something. Queue my last visit: For your reference this was yesterday (June 18, 2018 between 11AM and 12PM to be exact). I told the tech I was in for a shellac POLISH CHANGE. When I sat down with her at the table I showed her my nails and explained it happened right after I was in last. Was it tainted by cleaning products at work? Was it from being in the pool? The sun? I'm not sure but it had never in all my times getting shellac polish happened to me before. She suggested to me that it was probably just that particular nail polish, and that it was a dud and said she had experienced complaints from others who had used this colour (the colour is #133 in their shellac polishes if you're wondering). I thought... Ok. But why keep it out on display or continue using it if you think the formula's bad? Anyway, I left it at that, thought: "yeah I guess it was just a bad colour, I'll just get the polish changed, whatever," and proceeded with my service. I'd like to note I could not find listed service prices ANYWHERE. Not online, didn't see them in the salon. Maybe I just missed it? Not sure, but I looked. I only ever got the same thing when I had gel nails so I didn't know the prices of anything else when I asked for a polish change on my hands and toes. Assumed it would be about $20 for the two services (this was the price at my last salon, and they have comparable pricing). Wrong. SO WRONG. I have to admit, I was slightly horrified when she told me at the cash register my total for everything (polish change on hands and feet, and eyebrow wax) was.... drum roll please.... $63 BEFORE TAX. Again, me just being me, I said nothing and ate it. I never asked a price, figured it was my own fault and moved on. Queue 1 DAY after going in: My newly polished nails are now turning colour and getting blotchy again. I'm honestly so disappointed, and frankly I feel pretty ripped off. I was never offered an incentive or compensation after my last visit, and feel quite honestly like the $63 price tag of this visit was a bit of a slap in the face. A polish change and eyebrows. I'm sorry I'm just slightly blown away. If you're wondering why I'm writing this review, it's mainly for Kim (the owner). She was not there on this last occasion and I feel like had she been there the situation would have been different and I want her to read this and thoroughly understand my disappointments. I have brought in several new customers via referral, and stayed loyal to the business (and spent a fair bit of money) for quite a while now. I honestly just feel let down. I encourage Nails For You to somehow resolve this. Until then, I think I may have to start going back to my old salon. read more

Nails For You - Note the purple starting to turn blotchy, 1 day after getting them done. And I have not been in the pool, using chemicals or in the sun. - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I hope you guys read this and actually understand why u lost my business A lady working there who barely spoke English was trying to talk me into do shellac THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE I wanted a regular manicure and pedicure Literally she was non stop trying to talk me into doing shellac while doing my toes I told her I didn't like shellac!!! And she understood me!!! So why keep going on this shellac thing Over and over "so we do shellac?" I was exausted and was looking forward to just getting my fingers and toes done and just wanted to relax I'm sure the owners tell them to try to get everyone to upgrade and spend more but it back fired and u lost my business I was so annoyed I didn't even get a colour on my nails she just filed them down . I just wanted to get the hell out of there Still cost me 60 bucks for a manicure and nails with no polish on them read more

This is hands down the best nail salon ever. I have been a regular here ever for the last 4-5 years. All the girls are extremely talented but my girl Thi is my go-to every 2 weeks religiously. Their salon is very beautiful and clean. The owner Kim and the girls working the front desk are always a delight as well. read more

Sunny is great! She's very thorough and I've had the best pedicures at this location! She's very careful to cut around my in-grown toe nails and application of shellac is superb!! My nails stay almost perfect for up to 3 weeks! I love the massage chairs and great bonus to relax and read while I get pampered :) read more

Posted a review on google about how they scam you with extra charges. Management responded and made it seem like I wanted a freebie, which was not the case as management is clearly lying and unprofessional. Shellac color just on tips of my nail and sparkle on the tips was quoted at $60 plus $5, which is insane. I explained many times with the lady on the phone, what I wanted and she kept saving $60 plus........tip off!! Thank god, I didnt end up going there because the reviews about this location are terrible. The nails for you chain is a terrible company that is over priced and staff there are very inconsistent and not very good. As a customer you are better off going to smaller nail salons, because there is better quality control and reasonable pricing depending on where you. read more

This is my go to salon, I've always had a pleasant experience here. The salon is spotless and the staff is friendly. I recently started getting bio gel shellac on my nails and I've never been disappointed. I recently (August 15) went in and had Tammy as my technician and I can honestly say she is the best! I am obsessed with the shape and the look of my nails. Highly recommend! read more

I've read the reviews here and only ask people to 1st becsure you have the right nails for you. It's s frsnchise and there is literally one in the next plaza. Right near Timmies. Kim's is near the dollar store. 2nd. Kim is a great caring owner. Please TALK to her. Give her a chance to rectify something if you're not happy. She never disappoints. Too many people have forgotten how to talk to people and give them the opportunity to correct errors. We are all human. We all make mistakes - it's what we do to repair them. Kim is respectful and truly cares about her business. I know it's rare but give her an opportunity to rectify. Personally. She is awesome and refreshing to have an owner that cares about her clientele read more

This was my go-to nail salon. Unfortunately the salon is too far for me now as I have moved. I have been coming to this salon for at least 3 years and have always received fantastic service. The owner is awesome and someone who truly cares about her customers' needs. She remembers my name and greets me when I enter the salon. Anytime I had a question or concern, she always took the time to listen to me. Vicki does a fantastic job too. Every time I left this salon, my nails looked impeccable. Truly an amazing place! read more

As you can see I've been frequenting this establishment for 3+ years. It is with great disappointment that I have to update this review negatively. Over the years there have been several incidents during my nail appointments of undertrained, incompetent nail techs since my last reviews. The shop owner does not want to train her nail techs to do all the services they offer, and it's very obvious. I stopped getting my biogel nails here a year ago after all my nails started to look different shapes, and bumpy and they would argue with me when I would ask for them to fix it, so I relegated this place to pedicures ONLY because I figured hey, how can you mess up a pedicure? You can. Got a pedicure Wednesday, had the skin around my toes cut and scraped until they were raw, toenails cut all different lengths and shapes and after much coaching the young lady who had no clue what she was doing, I told her never mind because I had to get back to work and was then told "ok you can fix at home because I don't know." LOL. Ok girl, I will! Never in my life have I paid for a service and been told to go complete it at home. Are you nuts? The staff are rude, and meet your requests with indignation and eye rolls and are very obviously talking about clients in the establishment. The manager was not wearing a mask the last time I was there, either. read more

Nails for you is a franchise all across the GTA. I've been to 3 other locations multiple times with OK services and nothing great or horrible to write home about. Until today... This review is for the one near Sherway Garden and it's getting an extra star because this salon is the cleanest I've seen. I saw a tech scrubbing and cleaning the sink area and wiping down counters. I like that. No nail dusts or yuckies. Now, for the bad parts. I made an appointment for a simple manicure. The tech never said hello or smiled at me. She seemed as if she caught the case of the "bitchness" this morning. Very cold and she needed a massage or a nap in the back. Anyway, she worked on my nails less that 10 minutes! Didn't know I was getting the super express treatment. 10:15 was my appointment. 5 minutes to pick a nail color. When I went to dry my nails, it was 10:35. TF! Tech barely cleaned my nails, hardly buffed it smooth, didn't even touch my cuticle, and half ass massage. Speaking of which, what is up with the salons around here and no hand massages as part of the services?! Back out in the west coast, salons will massage your hands, arms, and shoulders! Ok, back to my point. My tech SUCKED! I gave her a toonie, that's the lowest amount I've tipped. She deserved it. Never again!!! Anyone reading this, can you please tell me what salons give you a nice massage with the service? Thanks in advance. read more

Honestly this is the best nail salon I have been to. Having been to my fair share of nail salons around Vaughan and Etobicoke, I would say Nails For You is definitely the best! The employees are experienced and the service is impeccable. The place itself is clean as are the tools and tables that the ladies use.The work is never rushed and I leave satisfied every time. Keep up the good work y'all! :) read more

I absolutely love this place! I have been there many times getting lash extensions, bio gel, manicures, pedicures. Every single time I go I am more than happy with my results. I'm always a last minute client trying to get an appointment for the same day or the day after and they are very accommodating. All the employees that work there are amazing and very sweet. They take their time on the services so it never feels like they are rushing me out the door to take on the next client. I actually went to aesthetics school so I know how spas are supposed to clean their tools after EVERY use and keep the place immaculate and Nails4You hold this as high priority and the place is always perfect. They even offer wifi! Also the owner Kim is awesome!! Super sweet and caring and always treats clients like gold. I will continue to keep going to this salon and always recommend them to my friends and family. :) :) read more

I've been going here for over a year now . I had a very bad nail accident and the staff are incredible. You must see One ! She is amazing- funny - professional and best of all an incredible nail artist . Go see them ! It's worth the drive if you're far away . Jennifer read more

Did my nails with one and she did a awesome job! Everyone was super nice too, price is reasonable. Will def come back and recommend

Worst service ever, they did not do the pedicure properly and cleaned the nails and manicure was equally bad. Worst quality nail paint and chipped off the next day. Staff was not friendly either. read more

Went there today after booking an appointment several days in advance. Figured it would be busy because of Easter Monday so I wanted to make sure we didn't have to wait. The lady sat us down in our pedicure chairs quick enough, however, no one as much as looked at my feet for 40 minutes. By that time the water was cold and my feet wrinkly. Understandably, places like this get busy. But if you're not going to abide by appointment times, don't book appointments and only allow walk-ins. Or at the very least touch base with your customers to ensure that they know you're behind so that they're not just sitting there thinking that they've been forgotten about. Pedicure/Manicure was ok. Not as good as my usual place and it took 2.5 hours (when I'm used to at the very most 1.5hours). read more

I was able to get a last minute appointment on a Friday evening in January, during the pandemic. Current restrictions are for 50% capacity. They definitely adhered to this. They kept me far from a group that was together, which is much appreciated. Although maybe they could've done a better job of telling one of them to keep her mask on. I was in for a plain ol' pedicure. Avah took care of me and she gave my feet the attention they needed, after not having been for a pedicure in over 6 months! They have fibreglass screens to protect people that are not together, and to protect themselves too. It is always visibly clean in there. When I was leaving, the manager called Avah up from the back to receive her tip. Seems very transparent. My feet are in such great shape now. This is my go-to salon! read more

First and last time I am getting my nails done here. The "technician", who had red hair (the only one there who does) was complaining about my nails the whole time "OMG" and "crooked", and not only that but sensed I was tense so she rudely put a paper towel under my arm - it was rude - she didn't do a good job, hate them and I'm going somewhere else to get them refilled And I do have the right nail salon location read more

Beautiful space, ample parking, but cramp service. Nail tech used the grinder to tar off my shellac and pressed hard...it hurt and left a divot in my nail. She denied that it was the tool, and said my nail naturally had a large indent. Unfortunately, my experience didn't get much better. After asking for and being denied a different tech, I ended up bleeding twice during the pedicure. $75 for a shellac mani and regular pedi ....just doesn't add up. Drive past this one, fellow nailies. UPDATE; It was the salon behind Sherway Gardens, and I was charged more for French. When I asked for the new technician, I was told it was very busy and I should have made an appointment. read more

Mediocre I was in a bind..desperate for a fill. I'd been recommended this spot before. My nails were long tapered and square ..I asked for the same shape and thickness..and definitely left disappointed. The girl working reception had beautiful nails..I'm sure done here and exactly as I would've wanted mine to look. While I love the colour..shape came out rounded..after repeatedly requesting NO ROUNDING..I left and headed for Walmart to buy a file n fix as best I could read more

I go to the location at islington & Bloor and it's always amazing. I have had Josie do my nails many times and always leave so happy ! She really Takes pride in her work and they always looks amazing. The shape is always neat and clean and she really takes time to make the paint and designs look perfect. I have also had Emily do my most recent set and, she also did such an amazing job. The prices are amazing and you get top quality nails.. I have never had them chip or break and I have gone up to 4 weeks with my sets and they look great after that long. They keep the shine. Honestly, I won't go to any other nail place. It's a clean relaxing environment too ! read more

Amazing! Clean! Superb! Today I came here for a pedicure for the first time. I've come to 'nail for you' spas before and this has been the best by far. My service was done by Tina. She was thorough and neat. She gave me One of the best pedicures by far. I need to point out that they put a plastic sink barrier between the basin and you so you do not come in contact with any bacteria. Also they use disposable files and pumices. Everything was clean and tidy. The service was not rushed and even gave me a great massage! Very happy with my service. Will definitely be back for more ! Cleanliness 5/5 Service 5/5 Color choices 5/5 Pricing 5/5 Place isn't that busy but it will be once people find out about this hidden gem! read more

I didn't mind the services I got here, I got acrylic with shellac coating, and my nail technician was rather quick about it too. What I didn't like was that I would be provided with choices of what to do for certain steps of the way, without the explanation that it comes at a higher cost or that it's a more expensive service. I was shocked when I went to pay, for what I thought was a $45 service as I saw and booked for online, $70. Just a bit much! Wish I saw it coming because at that point I couldn't really go back. read more

I got my nails done shellac acyclic yesterday with red hair technician. I got my nails all those years and I never experienced this. After I got my nails done, they started to hurt so badly and it has been a day since I got them and they are still hurting. Also the lady missed a spot on my thumb and tried to file my actual nail down and it hurt so bad. Technician was little bit rude too. Their pricing is little expensive for what I got. I don't think I will be back. read more

Brandon did my nails and they are BEATIFUL!! Im so happy and absolutely recommend that place! He fixed the previous nails i had and did a wonderful job this is exactly what i wanted :) the pricepoint for a new acrylic set with chrome is great compared to most places read more

Worst customer service ever!!!!! I go to this salon when my normal salon is busy. I have to say I have never been overly pleased with the services but it is close and I figured out which lady does a good job. Over the years I have noticed they are not very nice or even friendly. I called last week and asked to book a mani/pedi for 2pm on Sunday. I was told 2pm is not available but 1:30 is. I showed up at 1:25 and was told to sit in the pedi chair and soak my feet. At 2:10 i was still waiting to be seen. The water was freezing and no one had even acknowledged me. When I asked how much longer I was given very rude attitude and told I would be seen when a girl was done. At 2:15 i asked again and inquired why I was waiting 45 minutes. I was not rude and was totally patient and respectful. The lady was incredibly rude and said she doesn't own the salon "not my problem" . I wiped my feet and left. All i needed was to be acknowledged and maybe a apology for the wait and some warm water to my foot bath. Instead I got nothing but attitude and the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I will never ever go back here read more

Kim made me feel much better. And made it right for me. I really appreciate all she did! She's lovely, definitely going to go back, at least for pedicures! Best one I've had! read more

I've been to this salon several times. Although the manager Kim is nice and the employees usually do a good job. The salon is usually busy and they accept everyone who comes in which I have noticed rushes the employees and cuts into your service time. Their prices are not the best. However for a good job it's fine to pay more but sometimes I notice they overcharge for some services. Tip: if you see its busy, don't go in as your service might feel rushed. read more

Review regarding UNHYGIENIC Brazilian wax: The place looks great inside, and there is parking so it's not hard to get to, but I'm going to be really real about this. I asked the lady at the front desk how much is a Brazilian wax, and she told me $35. Great! Let's do it! So I go in, everything seems normal, there is minimal pain which made me feel like the lady Lee (or also goes by Lily) knows what she's doing... Well, because it was so painless, I almost fell asleep to be honest, but when I looked over to the waxing stand, I just realized that she was double, triple, quadruple, DIPPING. This lady was NOT throwing out the sticks after every use. She noticed that I noticed and then threw the current one she was using out and used a new one, but then continued going with the same one over and over again! I'm so stupid for not telling her to stop... but that's besides the point. Honestly, I wish I could have given her a 5 star but the hygiene thing is huge for me. Also, when I got home I realized she left a BUNCH of long hairs, even after clean up. Now the WORST part about this whole experience was that when I went to the counter, they tried to charge me $40 because I had my butt waxed as well... Excuse me? I got a Brazilian wax right? Brazilian waxes traditionally include the crack, and if they don't they should have told me that it's $5 extra... So while the lady worked quickly and painlessly, the experience was misleading and gross. FAIL. Now excuse me while I take my tweezers to my crotch. Edit 1 month later: I just want to say, this was by far the worst wax I ever had. In the past month I have experienced tons of massive volcanic cystic ingrown hairs that have caused me pain, scarring, and embarrassment! I figured out why the wax was totally pain free... She was not waxing my hair by the root but just breaking the hair from the surface. This left the hair to grow back sideways and nearly every single one that grew back was an ingrown. Also, for the new hair growth, usually when I wax, the hair is thin and soft looking at the tip... these hairs from this wax are thick and blunt as if I shaved and are all crinkled looking (not in a normal pubic way... they actually look like crumpled paper). Don't go here... unless you want to have vag scars. read more

Set of biogel and then refills. Great for first few months but the last few times technicians were rough, rude and didn't seem to care. The owner seemed concerned and I did go back again to give them a fair chance. However after my last experience I will never go back which is unfortunate because they did such a great job when they first opened. I also noticed that they are not particularly compliant in terms of hygiene. read more

Friendly service! I'm always welcomed in a polite way, NOT like other salons where they bark at you "pick a colour!" I've been very happy with this salon since I started coming here a few months ago. read more

Best nail salon I've been to in Etobicoke and is my regular. You do not need a go-to employee...they are all amazing at what they do. I usually Facebook message their receptionist and book through her. They reply so quickly and treat you so well. The only downside is they do not list their pricing, but they are super consistent so you will not feel like you're left in the dark on pricing/deals. read more

Poor manicure. The technician was rough, talked constantly to another technician and cut my cuticle. First and last visit.

Definitely just in it for the money, every time I went to get the same service done it was a different price. They do an amazing job but the way the business is run is enough for me not to come back. & stop pushing shellac so much!! read more

I have two daughters in university and this is our go to salon. One is fabulous and highly recommend.

Came here to get my shellac manicure done here. It was my first time doing any sort of manicure. I choose "Nails For You" as I've seen this franchise across Southern Ontario many times and have some decent reviews from various locations, including this one. Wide range of colours; I particularly liked their nude options. This gets a 3 stars, because when it came to pay, the lady said 30$, and as soon as I pulled out my Visa, she was "uuhhh ... 37$," how is there a 7$ surplus if I use card? I didn't bother to put up a fight, she was nice, I tipped her 3$ in cash. My total was 40$ for a shellac, I will not go back after this. I asked her for a detailed receipt and she couldn't provide one except for the one that comes out of the interac machine. It should have not been that expensive for a place that is low-medium end in comparison to other privately owned nail salons in Toronto. Technicians here are vietnamese and have an alright level of speaking and understanding English. Otherwise you're not getting too too much out of them. read more

Had high hopes, but honestly less than impressed. Walking in was a great atmosphere. Modern, airy, and the host was very sweet and personable.  The manicure process seemed rushed and half hearted. Water was cold, and buffer and file seemed used. I speculated this because it already had a few stains of polish.  Barely felt the 30 second massage, had to ask for more pressure. Workmanship was not great. Barely any buffing. 3 coats of polish was applied without any time interim to dry. End results looked thick and streaky. read more
