    I really don't understand the bad reviews this place us awesome. They are extremely friendly and sweet ladies! The pedicures are so thorough, they even do a foot mask. It's very clean, and pleanty of colour and design selection. I also think it's worth mentioning that we are now in 2018, just because people speak another language in front of you doesn't mean they are talking about you. Also they are very well priced, if you are reading this review and have never been trust me give it a shot!

    After googling salons in Toronto that do ombré French manicures, I found this place. It's a bit out of the way for me, but I'm off from work this week and going on vacation in a couple of days...so I had time to pack a lunch and venture out into the depths of North York. When I arrived I was kindly greeted and seated promptly. I was asked a few times by a couple of different people what I wanted, though I explained it in the Facebook message I sent Nails Republic to make the appointment (I want a refill with ombré French nails)...but no big deal. When we got started, the existing colour on my nails was removed and a layer of gel was applied. I thought that there would be some cuticle work, but was told that this was not part of the service and was charged separately. My cuticles are quite clean, so I decided to save the 5 bucks and continue on. I asked for coffin shaped nails and that is exactly what I got. The shape was done better than any other salon I've gone to where I've requested coffin shaped nails. When the gel and shaping part of my manicure was done, another person came to do the ombré polish. It was done with a sponge; it came out quite nice. There is no polish flooding and the work was clean. Personal pet peeve is when you remove your hand from the UV machine and the nail tech yanks your hand closer, nearly sending you flying into the wall behind them, so they can continue working your nails. This happened a couple times during the initial shaping and gel part. It's a small thing...but a bit of 'gentle guidance, vs 'tug of war wallop' would be appreciated. All in all, definitely not enough to stop me from coming back. Will try a different colour ombré French next time. Thank you, Nails Republic :)

    Great establishment that offers a quality service for an affordable price! When getting your nails done, they take their time and diligence to make sure everything is done right! Definitely give this place a try, you will be hooked! Tip: make sure to book an appointment in advance. They also give you a card where every time you spend $15, they give you a stamp and 15 stamps gets you $15 dollars off your service!

    Terrible service, does the worst manicure ever. Cut both of my fingers and stained my fingers. I did a full set both mani and pedi for $45.20. The reason I only chose this place was because it was close to my church so after service I came here instead of my usual nail salon at Finch. No hand massage, whatever fine. Cut my nail, didn't even apologize fine. Walked out, not even a thank you or whatever. Employees doing nails for employees and employees even sitting on the same chairs that customers do. Definitely not coming back . The photo below is proof that they cut my finger, so deeply. I even paid more than my usual salon.

    Ombré shimmer grey biogel. Asked for almond tips and received round.  Found the gel to be applied thickly.

    The staff at Nails Republic are courteous, but not overly warm or inviting. I've visited 5 or 6 times and never found the staff friendly. Although they were extremely chatty and close with other customers. It started to feel a bit cliquish and I wondered how many times I had to visit before they'd start to be friendly with me and my mom. I had issues with more than one booked appointment not being in the schedule; and when I called ahead to confirm an appointment, it caused confusion. They give a fantastic pedicure, which includes a lovely foot mask, if you have regular polish instead of shellac. Over my several visits, I found that my biogel was not shaped smoothly and the tips never quite reached that perfect almond shape. The biogel nailbeds were uneven and mildly lumpy, and the tips were often crooked. Their process is to apply two layers of extremely thick biogel and then to shave a great deal of it off; which leaves them thick. They also don't apply a layer of biogel on top of the polish, which would make the polish last between visits. I tried chrome here once and the polish was chipped by the time I returned. Their work is ok.

    Gel not removed in many places

    Originally loved this place because I got bio gel extensions here and they looked great. However, I came back to get them removed and the lady rushed it so hard. It was not gentle at all, my skin bled in some places and she filed them so hard that my nails bent (they were already thin but still). They didn't use acetone at all and simply filed. The length is uneven and as you can see, she did not even remove all of the gel in many places but also filed into my natural nails in others. Three of my nails are cracked. I had to pay 15 dollars and not sure if I will be coming back :(

    Kate's job is excellent!

    Had a wonderful experience at Luxe Nail Nar today. The service by JuLia was amazing and Ry was so…read morefriendly. I highly recommend Luxe Nail Bar.

    Broke a nail while I was at work so I started looking to see what was in the area that could be…read moregood. Lets be real nail salons are a hit and miss these days. However with the great reviews I was reading on this place I wanted to check it out. Can I just say you definitely need to be patient when going to this location. The parking lot is crazy small.. I was lucky enough to wait a few minutes and get a spot! I walked in (with a thought of being turned down because they were busy *side note yes I had a back up plan) and asked for a refill. The manager just kinda looked at me and then looked through his books and I was fortunate enough, he said I could have a seat (reluctantly). The establishment is small , to me everything just seems really cramped in one. There were a lot of client service staff to accommodate every seat in that place which was really good. I had a woman (she was blonde) and didn't introduce herself. However the work she did with my nails was beautiful. she was extremely precise which I thoroughly enjoy. I chose the colour that she was wearing because I couldn't spot it out in the selection. Bio-Gel Refill - $40 cash ($45 if you use card) Mr. Manager asked me if it was my first time and i replied yes, he then informed me to next time make an appointment because they are an appointment only nail salon. Which is fine if I lived near here and this was my nail salon. However I have a nail salon but I just did not want to head up then back down for what I needed to do. I do promise, if I ever break a nail I will call first. haha.

    5 STARS on the service 1 STAR on the cleanliness…read more I've been here now 3 times and gave them plenty of chances....don't think I will return for a 4th visit. I used the washroom today before my appointment and it was really dirty - sink area dirty, floor and no paper towels to dry your hands. Last time I was a little upset about how unkept the technicians station was - didn't look like it had been cleaned for weeks. Now I don't work here but it only takes a couple minutes to clean up after each customer and there should be no reason why it's so dirty. I'm only getting a manicure today and glad it's not a pedicure. There are no mats on the floor or slippers/flip flops to change into to walk on after a pedicure and the floor is filthy from wet books and shoes tracking in debris from outside. Shame because the place is great otherwise. The lady that has done my manicures is just fantastic and I've had a pedicure here last week and she did an awesome job. I just can't get past their housekeeping. That and I made the appt on line yesterday- then they called and said - we need to a move your appt to 11:30 - no problem I said - I got here and 11:20 and have been waiting ever since..it's now 12:15. I'd leave if I had another appointment to go to but I don't. Sadly will not be returning here - Good Luck !

    Had a pedicure with Phoenix,She did an amazing and excellent job,She is gentle and did an amazing…read moredesign for me.The salon is clean and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.
