    Beware... Overly aggressive cuticle cutting led to a cut that wouldn't stop bleeding...
    Denise S.

    I'm sad to downgrade my review, after coming here regularly for the past 6 years (both this location and the one on Victoria). The staff are mostly nice and efficient, they have a great selection, clean environment, and good prices. Plus, they usually give you a neck and shoulder massage for a couple minutes while your nails are drying -- a little treat that sets this place apart from other similar nail salons. BUT, I had a horrible experience here recently where I was getting a regular manicure and the technician (a young guy) was aggressively cutting at my cuticles and would not stop. I realize now I should have been more assertive (it HURT). By the time I said something, my nail bed was bleeding. I have gone to nail salons where there is a tiny bit of bleeding underneath the skin, but this was like full on bleeding (see pics). He didn't apologize but kept going. When the blood was literally pooling, he keep using this blue coloured antiseptic solution and putting drops on the nail and wiping the blood away. He then just kept going along with the manicure... I didn't want to keep going because I didn't want polish to be put on top of an open wound and risk infection. So finally, I flagged down one of the more senior guys and showed him what happened. He agreed that polish should not be applied. He gave me a bandaid and a coupon for a free polish change (not even a free regular manicure, just the polish change which is like $10). He said sorry. And that was that. I left kinda stunned, not to mention disappointed. I had rushed there on my day off to treat myself and get my nails looking nice for some social events, and ended up instead with an ugly bleeding nail that took several days to heal completely. I should've stayed home and done them myself! I'm not going as low as 1 star because every other time I have gone, it has been fine. Some times better than others, but generally pretty decent. But this was really awful and they didn't handle it the best either. If I were the business owner or other staff, I would be horrified! Sigh... I am on the lookout for a new place as I am not even sure I will go back to use my voucher...

    Love this CND shellac Mani!!!

    This Nail spa is wonderful!! I've been looking for a new nail spa for a while... and I think I've found it!!! The women who work there are very sweet, caring and work hard. It's was $29 for a pedicure and $25 for a shellac polish change which is pretty reasonable for the quality of work. Plus they give you a mini shoulder rub after your manicure!! Please note, they charge tax even if you pay cash! (Honest business! I like that!)

    WOW. Run here - don't walk !! This location just opened a couple weeks ago and what a great addition to an already very eclectic neighbourhood. They are very friendly, communicate very well, the spa is so clean it's just fantastic compared to the other nail places within a 3 block radius. I dropped in for a mani and pedi, the nail technician was sooooo good I can't even tell you everything she did. My nails (both hands and feet) have not looked this good in ages. The foot leg massage was so incredible I almost fell asleep in the chair. Then I got a wonderful hand and arm massage after the manicure and while I was waiting for the nails to dry, she gave me a neck and shoulder massage.....OMG - how wonderful ! You MUST try Pinky Nails & Spa other than your regular place for a change - you won't regret it !!

    I love Pinky Nails & Spa. The entire staff is very professional, and friendly. I graduated just this year from a Nail Course, and lemme tell you I know what to look out for. They used glass bowls as oppose to those plastic manicure dishes. Plastic hold onto bacteria, its why glass is a way healthier option. I had bio gel with artwork done, and I came in for a fill and when using the electric file, they used a brand new abour-band to remove my artwork, an prep the nail for reapplication. They were also very diligent with the electric file remembering to move in one direction, and not file in the same place for too long. I also got a new file for hand filing of the nails. They also took the time to redo new artwork on my nails. Candy cane's for Christmas! I also noticed as staff were checking out clients, if another person was free they'd go and clean up their co-workers area for their next client......so pointers for teamwork. And when the pedicure stations were vacant, one of the staff was diligently cleaning away all the stations. They're also a salon that's acrylic free-NO powder here! It's all Gel, or Sheliac polish. And their regular polishes are either O.P.I or Essie (both are very high grade, and free of formeldehyde) Lastly, they're one of the few salons in Toronto that offers both a plastic tip, or forms when doing nail extensions (forms are way better, and stronger than the use of tips) I think Ill even apply to the place when I get home from winter vacation. But trust me girls, and guys. This place is top knotch!

    I went on Monday to get a mani/pedi. I saw OPI Infinite and asked about it. They said it was like a gel effect but not a shellac. Which is great for me since it took 3 months to grow my nails out because shellac really weakens my nails. She said it also lasts longer. Great! I'll pick this. A normal mani/pedi is $35. I went to pay and she says $25 for nails, $35 for feet. That's $60. I'm like why? It should be $35. They said because I picked the OPI Infinite, it takes more time to put on. No! Base coat, 2 coats of the colour then the top coat. Same as regular nail polish. Shellac requires more time with the UV machines. I asked to speak to a manager, no one there. Talking to them was difficult as English is a second language. I'm really disappointed with this experience. They should have told me upfront when I was asking questions about it. I will never go there again. Really bad customer service. And the nail polish is not better. Already I can see 2 nails where it might chip or wear away. I can see the streaks from the nail push brush on my nails. This does not have a gel effect. Don't waste your money on this product. Or maybe it's how they applied it?!

    I came here with a friend a few weeks ago post-work. I had a mani-pedi which was quite reasonably priced. They did a good job! It is not the most visually appealing place but they have these insane massage chairs that feel like a chiropractor is hiding within. They were very nice and I was happy with the outcome of my nails. So, you are probably wondering why I gave a 3 star? Well, they didn't really last. I had a severe break after 4 days so I essentially hard to cut off the results of my mani. Also, my toenails have been chipping since day 3...and toe nails do not chip that quickly! So although the manipedi experience was fine, the outcome did not last. Based on this experience, I would come back if invited by a friend but I will not be returning on my own time.

    Got ripped off so bad. Charged me 249$ for a set that's as plain as it can get, and it's definitely something you can get it anywhere else.... paying a much much lower price. Girls that like to do designs, please listen to me and go somewhere else. You'll thank me later. See the expectation vs reality photo yourself girls.

    This is a big Yes for me!! Super clean, nice environment, friendly service, very good quality manicure and pedicure and good price!! My checklists have all been hit!!! Finally and in the city. Washroom is so cute and whole place is so well decorated and maintained. I am a happy camper. Thank you Elva!

    I go to this salon every other week for a gel polish appointment. The salon is clean and bright, and quite a bit nicer than some of the other places along Yonge street. The prices are fairly reasonable as well, and I think the quality of their manicures should speak for itself! My appointments are always with Erica, so I can only speak for the quality of her work, but she is so meticulous and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your nails. I once went in with pretty bad breaks in my nails and she patched them up, free of charge. Nail art is a standard $10 extra, even if its highly detailed work. She mixed together extra glitter into the polish for me to get the effect that I wanted. My appointment took over 90 mins as she put different sizes of flecks and glitters on, layer by layer. She's awesome! They also give you back and hand massages, even if you go in just for a polish change. Can't recommend this place enough!

She looked over the reference pics I bought and helped me test out different colors until I got the right match.

And to top it all off, she even suggested I add a bit of sparkle to my nails at the end which was just...*chef's kiss*. She is just so good at what she does and takes the initiative to do it better without you even asking. Pricing was also super reasonable. Thank you, Nicola for your amazing patience and attention to detail. If I'm ever back in town, I'm definitely stopping by again.

Who knows what SJ stood for, but it was after some careful consideration that the new name was chosen, I'm quite sure of that. They are right in the middle of the block, and with a big bright purple sign, very hard to miss. This place was a-buzz with activity when I went and seemed like a local favourite. For the first time, I decided to opt for the reflexology option for my massage experience here, which turns out is a fancy name for foot and lower leg massage. I had a dude for this part, and he was amazing at making my feet feel awesome. Thinking about my feet, it's not something that I felt needs attention, but I was super happy that I spent the extra coin on this option as feet are something that can get taken for granted. First they bring a bucket of hot water to soak them in, and then the guy massages them along with the leg below the knee. Well worth trying out and see how it feels. The massage included some of the back-walking, but wasn't quite as intense as the other experience I had. Since the place was quite busy, there were more distractions making the experience less than ideal. Still quite impressive and worth checking out to see for yourself. The place seemed right out of a movie and unforgettable!
