Ok - I won't go into too much detail here but I know a good Brazilian wax when I get one.. LOL! I gotta give props to Thuy - she knows her shiz, and after running across town so many times using Groupon-type vouchers to score what appears to be a "deal" on Brazilian waxes, no amazing price can come in between the trust one has with their waxer. After months of going to Thuy for my brows and other non-female parts, I figured, what the heck, she's pretty much seen it all, I might as well show her my yoohoo too (yay it rhymed!). I won't elaborate here, but I will just say one thing: GET your Brazilian done by Thuy. She uses a great technique - doesn't do majorly big parts all at once, but takes her time, rips it off quick and applies pressure right away to minimize the pain. I swear, this is the first Brazilian I've ever gotten where I didn't have to wipe away any sweat generated by this seemingly tortuous process. I'm sold! I told her, even if she moves to Sarnia, I will drive through snowstorms see her every month. read more

Went here in the summer (July - I believe) because of the reviews here on Yelp. Pros: *Wasn't busy and took my girlfriend and I as walk-ins. *Clean establishment. *Attentiveness *Sterile equipment. What we didn't like: *We were BOTH nipped and bled by our individual assistants whilst they were removing dead tissue from the sides of our toes! Although they apologized profusely, it didn't take the pain away. *We received a 2 minute foot massage that was highly ineffective. *I don't have a calloused and hardened heel, so I don't know why my healthy heel was being scrubbed to death until I said something. *The nail polish was applied in a way that looked like I had already had one weeks growth of nail. I didn't bother saying anything. *After all of that they almost refused to honor the Yelp promo, because I had not emailed ahead on that particular date ( I had already emailed and cancelled two previous bookings). We haven't been back, because there are too many other establishments that give all around better service. Yes they cost more, but I don't mind paying to be pampered. read more

I went here specifically because of the hype on Yelp, and because I'd yet to find a really good, affordable and CLEAN spa in Toronto. I can't say I was disappointed. The beginning of my experience at Nailsense was a little shaky. I had Shellac removal on my toes first and they left it on for 15 mins as they attended to other customers (I had an appointment). I was on lunch and so this was a little annoying for me. I saw they did the same to another customer getting Shellac removed from her nails - she had it on for well over 15 mins. BUT, they pulled it together in the end, and they get five stars because compared to all the other spas I've been to in TO, the bang for your buck was unbelievable. Fantastic pedi... they weren't shy with the scrubbing and scraping, but still gentle. They're more than happy to use razor if you want it, and great dryers at the end so you don't ruin your pedi five minutes after you get it. And the place was CLEAN. People were continously cleaning the whole time I was there. All that for $25 + the shellac removal? I'll be back for sure. read more

I just got a mani-pedi here today and I LOVE THEM. I told my boyfriend I likely wouldn't take longer than an hour, but Christine spent nearly two hours on me. I was pleasantly baffled. They are so thorough here -- and incredibly clean. Everything is sterile and sparkling white, it's great because that's what you want to see at a nail salon. Christine really took her time with me and my French nails look flawless, I'm incredibly happy. All the girls here in fact seem really nice and good-natured, I would come back here just for the excellent service. I felt very taken care of. Will be back here soon!! read more

This place can't be beat. I tried the place even if it was a bit far for me (any place not within the immediate vicinity of a TTC station is 'far' for me :P), and it was 900 m away from TTC Lawrence Station (walking southbound). It was clean, spotless, very hygienic, organized and the girls were very pleasant and quiet (sometimes those nail salons can be VERY loud). I had my nail polish put on by one girl (very sweet but inexperienced), and the others came by to check her work. It wasn't perfect (she's still learning!) so the other girl cleaned it all off and re-did it all over again, showing the other girl how to do it properly. They are PROS. The owner is a very conscientious man who obviously wants to run a good business to have repeat and happy clients. They are also the most advanced, IT-wise. You can book the appointments online!!!!! Score. I will definitely come back. read more

I had heard a lot of this place, and though I live a little of a ways from here, I was dying to try it out and see how good it really was. I made an appointment for me and my friend, and when we arrived we were warmly greeted by the owner, who confirmed our names and asked us to pick out our colours. So many choices! All OPI and Chinese Glaze. :) The name of the girl that did my pedicure was Doung, and she was amazing! It was the best and most thorough pedi my poor, tired feet have ever gotten. I was left with baby-smooth feet and bright coloured tootsies! We then had our mani's done while our toes dried, and the girl who did all the prep work on my hands ( cuticle cutting, nail filing) was also great. She had to leave ( it was almost 9:00pm, their closing time) and so another girl took over to apply the colour. Again, flawless! Coincidentally I also bumped into a school mate of mine who works there, and as a courtesy for being her friend, both my friend and I were given a 10% discount on our mani pedis. So sweet of the owner to do this! I have to remark that the place is spotless. The cleanest and most organized nail salon I have ever been to, A new package is opened right in front of you before your pedi is started, and this really made me feel safe and satisfied that everything is safe and hygienic. I saw the tubs be thoroughly disinfected after every single client, and the floors were swifered constantly. I think my friend ended up getting a girl that was new, and so her pedi wasn't as good (some dry skin was not pumiced enough) and when she mentioned this to the owner he immediately apologized and booked her in for a redo. How professional of him! This really speaks volumes of his standards and desire to please his clientele. I will definitely return here, again, and again, and again. actually, I don't think I will ever go anywhere else for a mani-pedi. They are defiantly worth the trip for me. :) Thank-you NAILSENSE for the best mani-pedi service of my life! read more

nice clean place + great service + great prices= WOW...! Just had my first brazilian wax this morning... I got to admit, i was terrified before my appointment (my friends told me their bad experiences at other places), but she made me feel comfortable and explained every thing she was going to do plus gave me some tips on how to maintain. In the end...it didn't hurt as much as i thought it was going to..no where close THANKS THUY! i'll be back in a month =) "NO PAIN NO GAME!!" as Thuy says..haha ....and i'll be sure to bring my friend before that so we can both get a mani and pedi =D read more

See all

Yay! Came here this evening for a Yelp Event. Super fun. Met some great ladies, and got a super cute mani/pedi. I learned a couple of things - shellac is a special type of polish and OPI makes some so you can get your fave colours if you want. It's super clean, and they have nice decor, feels modern and for $35 for a mani/pedi - it's pretty good value. I'm off to a good start b/c I'm currently chip-free, but will update later this week, my usually mani's last 10 days...so here's hoping! read more

Sad to report I had my first bad experience here. I've always returned since they are typically so careful and not rough but that completely changed. Had a mani/pedi and the first girl doing my toes cut one of them pretty badly. It is still sore. The girl doing my fingers also cut my thumb. This has never happened to me here before and I may not come back based on this experience. Also, the girl doing the pedicure was pulled part way through to help someone else. Heading home to nurse my sore toe & hope for no infections!!! read more

Disclaimer: this is a review for their waxing services only, I've never got my nails/toes done here as I feel like it's waste of money since I can do it myself :) I've been coming here for over a year now to get my brazilians done and love it. Both Thuy and Kim are excellent at their jobs. The salon is probably the cleanest nail salon I've ever been to so I'm never worried about cleanliness. They are booked solid on the regular so it's good to make an appointment beforehand. You can either call in or book online like that I do. If you want an appt ASAP it's best to call since sometimes people cancel and it doesn't appear on the system right away. Also, they're strict on tardiness when they're booked solid, I've had an instance were I was 15 mins late and they refused to take me =( Despite that experience, I continue to come back due to the great results Kim and Thuy provide. read more

The place to get your nails done! So clean you could eat off the counters... but not recommended. Staff is friendly and overall the place is quiet so you can actually relax instead of hearing conversations across the room. Given the location and service I am surprised the prices aren't higher- no complaints there! Pedicure and manicure is $40. The selling point for me is the OPI Shellac. I find the other brands last half the time. Seriously lasted me over a month of wear and no chips!! Let's just say I had them on a little too long but got away with it- neutral polish is the way to go to get the most bang for your buck! I have gone to lots of places in the city and GTA- trust me the trek is worth it! Bonus- was given a tube of Aveeno hand cream on my way out! read more

*This review is for a mani/pedi walk-in May 10* I find this place is a hit and miss. I went for a mani last week and it was great. One nail was splitting a bit (I work at Starbucks which is so harsh on the hands) and she took care of it really well. This time, however, I got virtually no hand or foot massage, more like a 5-sec rub for each. Foot file also wasn't used. I removed my own calluses at home with my own file but the whole point was to pay someone else to do that!! Also, if you're a walk-in, they don't tell you the approximate wait time. They'll keep you waiting while you are soaking and manis are not done at the same time as pedis. Soooo... back to Cozy Nails I go. read more

Three words: attention to detail! Never have my nails looked so good! The ladies working here are perfectionists, and it really shows. A friend recommended this place to me a few months ago and I've been 3 times for a manicure. I have to warn you, though, if you're looking for a place where you can walk in without an appointment, this is not the place to go. It can get booked up weeks in advance. It is a little pricey ($35 for a shellac manicure + $10 if you have to remove shellac polish)) but it is totally worth it! I went 3 weeks between manicures without a single chip! If it wasn't for the fact that you could see nail growth I would have waited longer. There are so many colours to choose from - they can do ANY colour polish in shellac (Essie, OPI, etc). I've tried a pale pink colour, a nude colour and a red, and every one has looked fantastic! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Exceptionally clean & perfect lasting manicure ! My absolute favourite nail salon in Toronto! I have been going to nailsense for more than a year now and it is excellent. They are exceptionally clean, the employees are polite and patient, and they warranty you that your manicure will last 7 days, and if not, they are please to fix it for you for free. I have also tried shellac twice there and it was perfect. read more

Undoubtedly the best mani-pedi I have ever had. Excellent attention to detail - from taking your coat as you come in for an appointment, to cuticle work, polish application, making sure your nails are totally dry before letting you step out. They even help you put on your coat and shoes. This may sound weird and I haven't seen this done elsewhere but, they even put extra cuticle moisturizer and wrap up your feet with some cling wrap if you are wearing close toed shoes (under your socks) to make your feet extra soft! Also, they "wrap" the tips (http://bit.ly/bxbKSD) while painting your nails to make your manicure last. Mine lasted 6 full days without a chip, despite the fact that I shower with extra hot water, and do my dishes without gloves. AND you get all this for a really reasonable price. I would be here way more often if it was closer to my place. read more

This really is an awesome nail salon. It is spotlessly clean (including the bathroom!), very chic-ly decorated, and has some of the loveliest ladies around. I came here for a after-hours mani/pedi party with a group of friends, and we had a blast. Nailsense had Pretty Woman on their large flat screen while we ate, drank, and were buffed and polished to perfection. And the cost? A mani/pedi here is $35. Yep, you read that right. 35 BUCKS! A complete steal for the level of service. DEFINITELY will be back! read more

I know a lot of people on this site love this place BUT I had a not so good experience here. I went on Dec 31st at 10 am. I wanted the Opium Axxium nail polish done on my hands with my manicure and a pedicure. The pedicure was good but when they were trimming my cuticles, they cut a bit too much on one of my fingers and it started a bleeding a little bit. Also, after the polish was complete I had black marks on my finger nails the next day just under my fingers. Not sure if it was because I wore dark clothes the day of and the day after but my nails looked really dirty. I had to pay $40 at another salon to remove them. I will not be going back. Still looking for an awesome nail salon place in Toronto close to TTC (subway). read more

Amazing service. I have gone to other nail salons and no one has come close to the quality of service they provide. They are quick and great. You can also book appointment on their website (try booking a week before as they are booked out fast). read more

NAILSENSE - Amazing service. - Hair Removal Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A bit out of my way - but it was worth it. Because I had had a previous unsatisfactory experience at another Toronto nail spa, I did a lot of research on yelp and on the web in general to find another place to get my UV gel refill. It had been three weeks since I had gone to my old nail spa in Vancouver (was back for Thanksgiving!) and my nails were looking pretty ick. My Vancouver nail technician had recommended that I ask a lot of questions about products and technique, in order to avoid another nail disaster. Noticing the email booking option for Nailsense, and having read their detailed descriptions of their services on their website, I went ahead and emailed Tien my questions and even sent her a picture of my nails, hoping it would clarify what I was looking for (I'm ridiculous, I know!) Tien was so helpful! She consulted with her nail technician and emailed me back the same day with some suggestions that they came up with. I booked an appointment for that very weekend to see Kim. Kim was great! She answered all my uv gel related questions, and explained what she would be doing and why it would look nice/like I wanted. Her technique was excellent, and my nails are looking fabulous - I can't stop looking at them! Thank you! General notes: - spa has a great atmosphere; it's relaxed and modern - tv plays chick flicks with closed captioning on, and relaxing "spa" music plays - very clean and sanitary - sanitizing equipment is prominently displayed (I like it when this happens) Is a bit far for me, but they have really accommodating hours so I should be able to come after work! read more

Background: Looking for a place to take my baby shower hostess out for a mani-pedi. Somewhere a little nicer looking without insane prices. Facilities: Great ambiance. Washroom is small but clean. Street parking free on Sundays (residential). Lots of massage chairs available as well as nail stations and a large selection of polish. Quality and Price: $35 for a mani-pedi, $60 for shellac mani-pedi not including tax. Receipt doesn't specify what you got though, so that was a little annoying because I couldn't double check if I was charged correctly. We were there for two hours, reasonable. I think I would return for a regular mani-pedi. It's a good price and the work is nice. Service: We were quite satisfied with the results. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was when one of the girls filled my nails and just got the dust all over my clothes. I don't think she really cared about it. We had our mani-pedi done while sitting on the massage chairs and despite only one of us doing Shellac, we were able to finish at the same time. Drying took a while but no one check in on us. We decided to get up after 20 minutes to pay and leave. Overall: I really liked Nailsense. It's a bit far from where I live, so I'm not likely to return very often. However, the work is decent for the price. read more

I have to write a quick update on how fantastic the customer service is here! I recently got a pedi with a friend of mine which unfortunately smudged and was ruined once we got home (being winter we had to put our boots on). I think the polish wasn't totally dry despite the fact that the girl who checked our toes said it was. I called Nailsense the next day and spoke to Khahn (my go to mani/pedi girl - she's awesome) to ask if they offered a pedi with no polish at a difference price. I mentioned what happened and Khahn told me to come back anytime and she would paint my toes again free of charge! Nailsense really does want their customers to be 100% happy with their service and it shows :) My only suggestion for an otherwise perfect nail salon would be to offer a loyalty program (buy ten manis get one free kind of thing) for regular nail obsessed clients such as myself ;) read more

3 words - THIS PLACE ROCKS! This was my first visit to Nailsense, and you can bet your sweet ass that I'll be a repeat customer. Super clean, very modern nail salon. Plenty of comfortable seating (I think I counted 8 pedicure stations), complete with obligatory massaging chair. Staff is fantastic, the owner is incredibly nice and so professional. It's worth mentioning that all of their equipment/tools have been sterilized. I saw them using the autoclave and pulling sealed instruments out of that thing the entire time we were there...so yay for that as well! We booked a group of 9 or 10 Yelpers for a mani/pedi on a recent Sunday evening. Not only were they able to accommodate us, they actually stayed late do do so. We were booked at 5pm and by the time we left it was close to 7pm. When we arrived, a few minutes before 5pm, the owner let us know immediately that they were running a few minutes behind schedule. Not a big deal for me personally, because it took me forevevah to pick a shade...they have so many nail colours it almost did my head in. I selected a dark, purplish black colour for both my hands and feet. Something I don't normally do because once the polish chips, the manicure looks like shit. However, it's now 3 days later both my mani/pedi are still looking flawless! The girl who gave me my mani/pedi was fantastic. She did an excellent job, even took the time to wrap my feet in saran wrap before putting my socks on so that my pedi wouldn't smudge on the way home! The owner even took an extra 25% of of our invoice because they started a few minutes late! Simpling amazing! read more

Took my mom for a birthday mani-pedi here after seeing the excellent reviews. Definitely happy to add another! I love nail polish and own over 220 bottles, and I was really impressed with their colour selection. They had some really nice colours I've been unable to find at other salons, so for once I got to pick colours unlike anything in my own collection. Nice bonus! Service was great, they listened when I said I didn't want my nails cut too short and really made the shape nice. My mom is also really picky and she left thrilled with how her nails looked. We'll definitely be back! read more

I chose NailSense for a wax (bikini & legs) before a beach vacation based on reviews here. I was happy with the wax and even more so with the mani / pedi. The polish on my fingernails lasted a full week - just regular polish, not shellac. That was even with playing in the surf and sand, doing dishes, cooking and cleaning, biking, all kinds of things that would usually chip or wreck my nails. And 3 weeks later, my toes still look good. I am very happy with NailSense and will be back. read more

Although this place is a bit far for me, I decided to give it a try based on the great reviews here on Yelp. Wax job by Amanda was quick...unfortunately I can't say painless b/c I am a whus. NO double-dipping which is huge for me. She also sounded very knowledgable about hair growth and waxing. You get a discount with yelp however you have to book online through yelp as a yelp member, which I couldn't find so they told me I can apply it to my next one. Regardless it was more than half the price I was paying in Houston! Which is a big bonus for me! Clean, great prices and friendly employees definitely make this a great place to come back to. read more

After my initial review, Tien was kind enough to invite me back for another mani/pedi. I scheduled and rescheduled so many times due to other appointments that popped up. Each email I sent was responded as quickly as possible and Tien always accommodated my changes. I decided since I was going in, I would go for my next wax appointment. It was not a fluke the first time: Thuy is just as amazing. She puts you at ease and the time flies by. She explains as much of the process as she can and we talked about other things that actually got my mind off of being waxed. My mani/pedi experience was 10 times better this time. Thuy did my feet and it felt heavenly. I honestly believe she can do NO wrong! She made in pain free and made sure they were dry and perfect before leaving. Khanh did my nails and I loved it. No pain, just soothing bliss. I especially loved the strawberry-scented lotion she used afterwards--I found myself smelling my hands several times for the evening. Throughout my appointment, Tien checked in as often as he could to see how I was doing. He goes from being great owner to gracious host. He also offered me a pair of flip flops to walk in on my way home so I wouldn't ruin my polish. Great touch! I also learned that my chosen nail polish was one of several colours that NAILSENSE has before anyone else. Feels good knowing my toes can now be envied! I left in the middle of a thunderstorm smiling. I was never so happy to be out in the rain. read more

I found this place on Yelp and i'm glad i did! My pedicurist (didn't catch her name) was extremely attentive, cheerful and very nice. I had probably the best experience I've ever had from a pedicurist...she took notice of the UGGs i wore for my appt (eeeks) and wrapped my toes in cellophane to prevent ruining it. My manicurist was quiet but efficient. Thuy's waxing handiwork was stellar too! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area read more

I am very fond of this place probably because they clean my nails very well. I find that the girls are trained to be much more meticulous here than other places I have been before. They make sure every little bit of excess skin is gone when doing manicures. Pedicures I would say are the typical deal, although I did like the calf massage. I am also addicted to the movies they play as they have subtitles and I tend to get entranced so I never feel bored :) I have been here twice now and my regular manicure (not shellac) lasts over a week, which is gosh darn impressive! I also like how you can book online here so I can pretty much pick what I want with more knowledge on the available options! Only thing is there is no free parking to my knowledge....bummer. read more

I have been coming here for yrs...have had mani/pedi and their waxing services done and it's excellent! The place runs like a well oiled machine. Clean as a whistle..so clean that you can literally eat of the floor. The people here are professionals. ..they cater to ypu and don't talk to each much...which can be annoying at other places where people barely pay attention to you but yap with their co-workers throughout your service. The prices are pretty reasonable. This place is always busy so def make an appt! read more

I had a great first experience at Nailsense. I had two technicians to complete my mini-mani-makeover. Ngan did the dirty work: cleaned-up my cuticles and gave my nails a uniform shape that I always seem to have a tough time doing on my own. Kim then came in and did a meticulous shellac job on my nails. I was hoping for a mint green finish (which wasn't available) so I opted for purple... It turned out just grape. I mean great. Anyway, yes... The service was pleasant, but very quiet and the background music they played was comparable to elevator music (piano versions of 80s AM radio hits). Ew. Anyway, I found the manicure and shellac pricey ($39.55 tax-in + a well-deserved $8 tip) but I'll definitely be back to let them tackle my feet! read more

Thuy is the best for waxing. Went in for underarm and bikini. The environment was clean and simple. Quick (15mins) and painless. She even went the extra mile with tweezers afterwards to get the few pesky stubborn hairs that remained. We both laughed HAhahAHAH at the vanquishing of my unwanted hair together. This experience was a dream in comparison to the torture spas I've been to in the past. Best option since my favourite sugaring place, Sugar Sugar at College and Yonge closed its doors last year. read more

As many of other people here, I thought that this place would be great. I went for shellac manicure, the lady who took care of me was not polite, not even a word, cut my finger with the scissors. My nails were all different shapes. The quality of the products and the property of the place are amazing compared to other places. But I guess that now that hey have a lot of people coming and are known they do no intend to be nice with the customer and pay attention to details. read more

It has been over a week and my hand and toe nail polish have not chipped!

Both waxing estheticians do a great job. Both ladies are very friendly and do a good Brazilian wax. Very clean place. Unfortunately the man, who appears to run the shop (manager, owner?) is somewhat rude and condescending. I had some problems even though I was getting two services done from them that day. I expected to be treated a bit better than I was but whatever. Still, the place shines because of the ladies that do great services. I got a pedicure here and the polish chipped off within the week. I've had a better pedicure elsewhere. Maybe it's the polish used but based on my pedicure, I cannot recommend getting one done here. I had one done recently somewhere else at the same price and the lady paid more attention to detail and it lasted for much longer. My previous review was a 5-star just for the waxing but because of the not-so-friendly owner/manager and disappointing pedicure, I'd say my experience has gone down to 3.5-stars. Overall, this is a great shop to get a Brazilian wax. Waxing estheticians are friendly, courteous and do a great job while minimizing pain. See my previous review if you want more details about the waxing experience.. cuz I know you do! read more

Boooo hiss. Not a fan - they were not careful at all and my cuticles were mangled after this. I live down town so cheap nail places aren't hard to find and the one near me takes their time for the same price. These girls were not the kindest to my friend or I even when we tried making polite conversation and left great tips. Language barriers aside - a smile is pretty universal...so is being all rammy-jammy with sharp nail tools... Na thanks. Not sure what the raves are about but I will be sticking to my own place now. read more

I've been to Nail Sense for pedicures before and have always been impressed with the atmosphere and cleanliness, so it seemed the obvious choice when I decided to get a brazilian. I've always avoided brazilians in Toronto (I'm from a smaller town originally) mostly because they are so expensive here, but Nail Sense charges $35 which seems totally reasonable. The woman who did my wax was Amanda and she was fantastic! Totally professional, friendly and so meticulous (after the wax, she checked everything over and tweezed any strays!). The result was a totally comfortable experience and a super smooth finish! read more

Very clean and modern and the people are friendly. They did a great job on my mani-pedi, although I could have used a longer massage after having a tough week on my feet :) Prices are reasonable, online booking is easy and makes a lot of sense, and since this was a winter visit they were very helpful to make sure my newly painted toes did not get ruined in my winter boots - a big plus! read more

I have been going there for about 6 months and hands down it is the best salon I have encountered along my journey for nail care. Main points: Cleanliness: This is paramount for me. Everything is white, and always looks clean. It looks pristine and the women there are fastidious in keeping things tidy, not just sitting around when it is not busy. Price: Average for Toronto, but still pricey by New York standards. I've had some of the best manicures of my life for $12. I like the fact that they offer a free fix if your shellac chips in under 7 days. Attitude: Non pretentious and friendly. I have been to salons in Yorkville, Midtown and Jane/Finch and somehow I tend to find that some technicians/ facility owners operate like their junk doesn't stink. Everyone here is always no nice. There is not a great deal of background conversation in other languages, which is nice to know that you/your nails are not getting cut down right in fromt of you. Also the last time I was there, the manager was reading "Good to Great", a leadership and development book. Personal development is always a good sign to me, fosters a great attitude and positive atmosphere. Service: Trizzie and Kim are my go tos for shellac. However I recently learned that if you request them for a regular manicure you have to pay $5 more. I didn't know this the lasttime I went there, so the manager kept the same price for me as last time. I have very short nails so sometimes it takes more care to make them look nice so I think it might be worth it if you have problem nails. Location: Kind of inconvenient (in between Lawrence and Eglinton, on Yonge St), but worth the extra effort if you want god service guaranteed. read more

I went here after reading all these reviews on yelp and decided to go since there was a 10% discount for yelp-ers. What impressed me what that it was super clean! overall the colour choices weren't bad but i personally like Essie and they did not have that many options for Essie. I also like to try the new colours that come out every season from OPI and Essie when getting my nails done because it helps me decide which ones to buy, but they didn't have the newest collections. The staff were friendly but overall i felt kind of awkward being there. No one was talking.. it was almost dead silent and whenever i did speak it felt strange to. Overall, it was nice and clean but I'm going to stick to my usual place because I've developed relationships with the staff there. Being able to talk to one another gives the place a more welcoming atmosphere. read more

Every girl needs a good place to get waxed... I've been on the hunt for a good place to get a brazilian wax in Toronto for a while and I'm so glad I stumbled upon Nail Sense (I was recommended by a good friend of mine who comes here religiously for her mani/pedi/wax for 5+ years) I've had bad waxes before and they leave you dreading the next wax appointment. It was different with Nail Sense... I was pretty relaxed throughout the entire session and it was relatively painless. Thuy did an amazing job talking me through the entire process and she was extremely thorough which I really appreciate! So here are the reasons why I highly recommend this place (at least for a brazilian wax): CLEANLINESS - this place sparkles! It's clean which is important for hygienic reasons! PRICE - a brazilian wax is only $30 which is much cheaper than other spas or nail salons! LOCATION - it's midtown and relatively close to the Lawrence TTC subway station PROFESSIONALISM - Thuy was so thorough and friendly. The wax job took about 30 minutes but she's quick at pulling off the wax which made it pretty painless Honestly, I'm not going anywhere else for a brazilian wax. This place is cheap, clean and gets the job done very well. And I can even book appointments with them on my Blackberry! They respond to your e-mails to confirm your appointment within minutes! read more
