I visited Rouge with my mom to get a gel manicure. The girl who did my nails was very sweet and did…read morean excellent job. Her name is Pamela and I highly recommend her. The manager was a little rough around the edges and was loud when talking to her employees. I was getting my nails done and could hear all of the drama going on between the manager and the workers. It seemed very unprofessional and made me uncomfortable when it should be a relaxing experience. They play videos on big screen TVs so that you can watch while you get your nails done. The manager put on Bridget Jones Diary and I was so upset. That is such a nasty movie and there was a little girl getting a princess manicure in the salon. About midway through she changed the movie. Thank God! Still not impressed with her first decision of even playing such a filthy movie. Warning: don't go for a pedicure if you're expecting a massage chair. The girl literally brings out a large bowl for your feet to soak in. No comfy chair, no jets, just a bowl.

This has been my go-to nail salon for 2-3 years now. It is located inside the hair salon, in a very…read moretight seating area. Despite that, the service is very good. I used to be an acrylic girl and would want my nails to be long and ballerina-shaped. They never broke or got ugly and I would keep them for a good three weeks before getting them removed. This year I decided to stick to shellac manicures, which is done by putting a powder underneath the polish. This makes my nails last FOREVER. I can go 4 weeks without going back to get them done and the only thing looking weird is the regrowth of my nails. The owners are very nice, they care a lot about their customers and can always squeeze you in for a last minute appointment if you call in the morning. They charge a little bit more than other spots but they really take their time with every single client (takes about an hour to get a gel manicure) so you know they're doing their job right. The place is clean and I've never had problems with infections or anything like that.

First time trying the SNS treatment! I love it. SNS stands for Signature Nail Systems and it…read morestrengthens your real nails and allows them to grow longer which is exactly what I needed! I've been growing out my real nails with gel and powder acrylic refills for about 2 years. I kept removing them and so that's why it took so long for my nails to grow. But now they're the perfect length but weak as hell. My friend recommended the SNS treatment and what a game changer. My nail technician was amazing! They first had to remove my powder and that took a while since the layers were thick. It took maybe 4 dips in nail polish remover to peel it all off. Then as my nail technician was filing them, one nail broke! It's not bad but you can definitely tell it's too short. I opted to leave it as is because it'll grow back. I didn't want to add a fake tip. SNS is powder but it's much finer than the acrylic powder. It feels like flour. They dip your fingers in the powder and flick your finger to get rid of the excess. Imagine my face when they dipped my fingers in the powder! It's like magic. I know I've referred to the acrylic powder as nail cocaine in my other reviews as a joke before but SNS is actually nail cocaine. Even the colour is a powder they dip your fingers into! They then apply a top coat. They dip your fingers maybe 2 times in the SNS powder and then 3 times for the colour powder depending on how smoothly it sticks. The nail polish coat is applied after every dip. You then get everything smoothed out with their drill machine. The end feeling is so great. It feels light and airy but your nails are strong! It's also not thick like the gel or acrylic powder. It cost me $50 with taxes and tip first time around because they had to remove my acrylic but next time it should be $35. The only con is that the SNS colours aren't as nice as the regular nail polish colours. But I can overlook that since it'll make my real nails much stronger

Oh I love this place so much. I've always been very sceptical to get my nails done because of…read morehygiene problems infections etc. This place recently opened by a couple and a friend who used to work at another nail salon on Taschereau. They put everything they had into this place the decoration really feels like a spa light place very then there's a TV that they play music or music videos just to get a little calmer and relaxing ambience. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. They do regular nail polish all the way to designs and even if it's something that's a little hard for one of them they will tell you I will try my best. The person doing it will take the time until they're happy with the design until you're happy with the design if you don't like it you can change it before everything gets finalized. Apart from the kindness there was one specific experience that made me love the place even more my nails were really brittle so I didn't want to put any fake or acrylic nails and I wanted to do a marble effect on my natural nails which were already very very short. The person doing my nails said I can do it for you but because your nails are very brittle and flimsy it might not last very long, and because the marble look is a little thicker because there needs to be multiple colours it won't look as nice on your nail because it's very short and very flexible. He said I don't mind doing it but it's really up to you I don't want you to have to pay for something that won't last longer than two weeks. For him to actually consider the design and the worth and the value of how much I'm paying and how long it's gonna last I have some thing I really appreciate it it's noches doing what I ask and then it comes off within a week because I am doing things and because my nails aren't as healthy at the moment. In the end we both came to an agreement to do a different design which I still really loved with the colours that I wanted. In that moment I realize that this was my go to place for any manicures any pedicures I want to do for the future because they do care not all need to get paid but they do care for the happiness of the client. I have friends who have come from Montreal to do their nails here and they're very satisfied with the quality with how long it lasts with the overall service that they get.

Either way I was really excited about coming here because I heard it was more upscale than your regular nail salon and it's been featured in the media. For a first timer, might as well start with the best! I received a voucher for a Shellac UV manicure and overall enjoyed the experience and love how high quality the product is. From the moment I booked the appt to when I walked in, the receptionist was very friendly and accomodating - she took off my coat and asked what kind of beverage I would like- a pretty box filled with tea bags for my choosing was presented. You'll definitely feel girly and pampered at Candy Nail Bar. It's trendy, colorful and well maintained. There's a special vip area for groups and parties too. As for service, I'm sure the actual treatment you get varies widely based on the employee. My technician was very pleasant but she didn't apply the polish perfectly. I have some nails that are a deeper shade and some that could have gotten another coat of varnish. I wasn't going to complain since it was free, and I didn't really notice until I stepped outside anyways. Bottom line, come here for the atmosphere, its a chic vibe- they're also known for their 3d custom nail art, but if you're looking for a basic mani/pedi, save yourself a few bucks, you'd probably find similar down the street.
