They refuse to do anything for me and I walked out of the store being very angry. will never go back again, and I don't advise anyone to go back again to get their nails done in this place.

I came here for the first time a few days ago with a friend to get our nails done. They were…read morefriendlier than I was expecting, which made me like the place right away. I asked for an ombré French manicure with sparkles and snowflake designs (acrylic set with shellac as well). They were hesitant to do it at first and they started talking amongst themselves saying things like "it's too much work" in Vietnamese. I could understand it, but they didn't know this. After some discussion, they decided to proceed. The lady was fairly nice, but she worked extremely slow.. I was starting to fall asleep an hour into the session, and she was STILL trying to shape my nails! It took 2 hours for everything and costed me $40. This is a bit more pricey than other places, but I was okay with it because my nails turned out pretty nice. Now this is where this salon lost this customer - about 20 hours later, my nail polish started peeling off! I couldn't believe this because I spent $40 on it, and it took 2 hours of my time. It got worse as each day went by, and it's not like I'm doing vigorous work with my hands/nails to have it peel off like this. I paid an extra $10 for shellac which is suppose to make my nails last AT LEAST 2 weeks, but this didn't even last more than a day, so I feel like they ripped me off! I put on a top coat from home, and it's the only reason why it looks like how it is now in the photos, or else it'd be way worse. My friend who came with me is also very upset. She wanted them to fix this ONE nail they messed up the paint job on and they refused her. Her nail polish is also starting to peel and chip. What's funny is that a cashier at Sears complimented my nails, asked me where I got them done, and when I told them "Mickey Nails", they replied with "Me too! But look what happened after a day" and she showed me her chipped nail polish. I'm very disappointed in this place. I thought it would be my new go-to nail salon in Guelph. Although the people are slightly nicer than other nail salons that I've been to, it's definitely NOT worth the price. I've had an acrylic set and shellac done before at other places and it would last me upwards to a month and a half. This was a waste of my time and money and I will not be going back. Giving them a 2 stars for a slightly friendlier service than most places and for their effort in making my nails look nice.

DISAPPOINTED IN QUALITY I was excited to find this place…read more Clean and bright. Staff was good when we got there. My daughter and I each got our nails done. My daughter has always gotten hers quite long and they said this was no problem. They did a nice job of shaping and painting but the nails broke off where the tip was applied after less than 2 weeks. She went back to have them fixed which they charged her for. She got them shorter because They said it was due to the length. 5 days later multiple nails lifting and broken. She is not hard on her nails and has had several sets elsewhere that have been fine, even at the longest length. This set broke when she scratched an itch on her back... how hard can you scratch your own back??!! All broke right where they attached the tip So after paying $150 and spending hours running back and forth and sitting for repairs for 2 sets of terrible nails, she went in and had them all removed today. No refund, no discount, no apology. NO GOOD!

Unfortunately this past Tuesday, my girls 11 and 13 and I were in Guelph for some appointments and they both wanted their nails done. I left them at Julia's while I ran over to Walmart to get a few things. when I came back I paid and we were on our way home (out of the city) when the girls told me how unkind and nasty the ladies in there had treated them. Pointing, laughing and talking about them in their language, not doing their nails as they asked (shape, length etc) and overall RUDE! To the point that my 13yr old was crying at the desk and the lady scolded her. She is 13, Laing for her own nails with her hard warned money and first you're not doing what's she's asked for and then giving her shit when she gets upset!?? 1000% unacceptable and I will tell everyone I know!!! I am shocked and disappointed I ever supported that business.

Of note, this is my second negative experience here and I actually also witnessed someone shaming an older woman for her thick nails. I don't know why they work there if they have such issues with normal foot "problems".

I'm happy I did this. I do not usually just pop into some other hair lotions for my own hair. Doing highlights is quite a time consuming and that I could see the way she loves her job. It's her passion. She assisted two other returning male clients with their own hair that they had been joyful. I booked an appointment ahead and I really do recommend you do this since Holly is extremely active. She's lots of returning clients. As soon as I came Holly greeted me away with my first name with a large grin. It was really welcoming. I showed her the image she'd ask some questions simply to confirm she knew it entirely. Holly has a fantastic memory she'd even remembered what fashion you'd from last time and offer you advice throughout. I am so happy I took the guts to try out this location and I am very happy. I'd defiantly return for the highlights!

Quite frankly Athena is advising everyone. But what was done to my mother is terrible. She didn't want to return after I was so upset but you guys did an amazing job on her. It looked beautiful everyone loved it as did she. Platinum hair, from grey black and the cut was amazing. So first issue, she makes an appointment writes it down, I was sitting right there when she did this and when she goes for the appointment they said she didn't have one. She worked all night stayed up goes in and they can't get the appointment in the computer. So she booked again and this was a nightmare, the stylist was late and there was no record of her ever being there so they said they don't know what was done. She should have left because if they can't figure it out from looking at her hair they are not qualified. Well when she walked in the door I was devastated for her, they darkened her roots the hair that was at the back of her neck was still black. The colour was yellow blonde. They said come in to fix but I don't blame her for not wanting, as her roots grow in she will have a brown stripe of one inch. Was it so hard to touch up roots an tone. I'll never step foot in fresh again, I wanted the brown removed and you gave me partial foils. So I still had brown and streaks which for me is horrible. Stylist should listen to the client, I want brown gone... I hate ombré... I'm going to hate baby silvers of blonde and still have my grey.
