I bought a Groupon a while back for a shellac manicure. It had an expiration date of the first week of January, so I had to act fast. I called the number on my Groupon to make an appointment. The phone just rang. It went to voicemail. The message stated that the number does not accept voicemail. Roughly five minutes later, I received a call. I had to ask who it was. The woman said that she was from Skyer. Okay, so the business has caller display. I booked my appointment. The business phone number is a cell phone. I got a text message the day before my appointment, indicating that my appointment was approaching. Nice touch, although I never indicated that I was on a cell phone. I got there. It has a peculiar setup. The store's door was locked. You have to ring the doorbell, wait for some special buzzer, and then open the door. I already didn't like the lack of a warm welcome. So, I walked in there. I told them that I had an appointment. I was immediately asked to take off my shoes. Okay, I am 5'10" in height. Having a take-your-shoes-off sign immediately next to the various pairs of flip flops on the floor does not get my attention. I don't look down all the time! One of the staff members lightly threw down a pair towards my feet. Um, I have a size 11 pair of feet. None of the female-sized flip flops are going to fit me. I eventually found a blue pair of men's flip flops. However, they didn't stay on my feet. I decided to just walk around in my socks, which was far more comfortable! Then, the stress of having the question of presenting my Groupon when I am escorted to the manicure table to put down my purse while I am asking where I can hang my jacket (you can after you pass the manicure/pedicure section) took place. I wasn't thrilled. One woman took my jacket away to some mysterious area. I then had to walk over to the counter in my men's flip flops that would not stay on to show them my Groupon. If I were managing this salon, I would have done the following: - Greet the customer - Hang the remove-shoes sign on the wall, as opposed to having it sit on the floor - Kindly ask that the customer's shoes be removed, and to either wear flip flops or walk around in socks - Offer to hang up the customer's coat - Lead the customer to whichever area to have the beauty service commence Everyone at this store speaks Mandarin, with one woman who could also speak Cantonese. With the duck-quacking ringtone going off often on the business cell phone and various conversations happening, I didn't feel relaxed at first. Anyway, the manicure went well. I had shellac polish on my nails already. This place charges $5 to remove it. I was good with that. I chose the CND polish called Sparks Fly, which was peach with glitter. It was the only one that I truly wanted. As much as I love purple, which this place does not lack, I was getting purple polish removed from my nails! There was only three rows of polish, so it may seem limited to some. The nail technician worked diligently to remove my purple shellac polish, shape, and buff my nails, and trim my cuticles. She did a wonderful job applying my new polish and massage my hands afterwards. My nails looked beautiful! She was pleased with the tip that I had given her. I think that my experience would have been better without encountering a locked business door with various unnecessary customer obstacles that can be removed to enhance everyone's experience at this salon.

I used a Groupon for One Shellac Manicure. The place is tiny and hidden in a large plaza. It looks a tad sketchy from the outside, and the staff speak limited English. However, they did an AMAZING job on my shellac. It was the perfect texture and she did a very good job of cleaning my nails/ cuticles. I would definitely recommend. read more

I bought a Groupon for a shellac manicure. When I called to make an appointment the person who answered simply said "hello" instead of "hello skyer beauty spa"; that always annoys me because I then worry about whether or not I've called the right number. Anyway I was able to get an appointment for the exact date and the me I wanted. They took my Groupon number over the phone so I didn't have to print it out or even show it to the person who greeted me. There was very little talking, I paid the tax and tip up front because I'm always paranoid about ruining the manicure before I even get home. Nobody gave me any directions, I just followed the girl to a well-worn mani table. I sat with my coat on, she didn't say anything about where I could hang it. There was no conversation, I just asked that she not cut my cuticles. She didn't soak my fingers at all, and made me wash my own hands at the sink after she filed my nails. There was minimal work done on the skin around my nails and to be fair I did get them done 3 weeks ago so they weren't bad. After 3 coats of polish and two of shellac I have to say they look great, despite 2 small air bubbles. I chose a pearly light pink colour, they didn't have much colour selection but they use OPI, so hopefully it will last longer than my last manicure. For $13.50 plus tax and tip I can't complain, but I doubt that I'll go back. read more

Had a pedicure done and it was wonderful! The girls do a perfect job from start to finish making my feet feel soft, clean and beautiful.

Bought a Groupon deal for a shellac manicure. The place was clean but I was confused by a closed doors when I tried to enter the salon. Then I saw a buzzer and someone opened the door. As you enter there's a rack of slippers that you have to wear and are made for tiny feet it seems. I didn't find my size so had to adjust to whatever they had which was uncomfortable. To my surprise there was only one lady doing nails while other 3 were going back and forth and not doing anything. When the other customer came, the lady was switching back and forth between the both of us. My nails took 2 hours to do! I can't say that she did a bad job, she was very thorough but it wasn't shellac!!! The nail polish chipped the next day and completely fell off in less than 2 weeks! On top of that they barely speak English which creates a lot of confusion with scheduling appointments or asking questions. I would not recommend this place! read more

I bought a deal from Groupon and made many failed attempts to make an appointment at Skyer. It's pretty difficult to even make an appointment. Especially when the lady found out that it's a Groupon deal, it felt like they were less inclined to book an appointment. Apparently, there's only one lady that does nails and she's off on random days. (Sketchy?) I ended up having to refund my Groupon deal. Groupon was nice enough to let me use the credit towards something else. Overall, it was a waste of my time. Don't let their low prices fool you. read more

This place is WAY UNDER STAFFED. I waited 30 mins for a pedicure I had an appointment for. The place does not look very clean and the staff were eating. I wanted them to use a pumice stone instead of a grater and they said they didn't have one! Staff seem uninterested, but somewhat friendly. Overall they did a good job, but don't expect good service. Prob never go back again. read more

I recently bought a groupon for lash extensions for $45 - I was pretty excited since I love getting lash extensions. I went in this week to redeem my Groupon and I was asked to pay $5 in tax and a tip right off the bat since "groupon doesn't take tax". My lash experience was okay, communication was kinda tough so I asked her if I can show her a picture of how I wanted my lashes done but she said she wouldn't understand from the picture so I went with whatever lashes - she told me the size and I just said okay I'll go with that. She did a good job putting them on (however they're not curled how I wanted them!!!) anyways, it's day 2 and my eyes HURT. Like I can't rub my eyes cause the lashes are so stiff, Ive gotten my lashes done before but they've never hurt like this. im not sure about their other services but I do not recommend the lash extensions! :( read more

I went to this spa to fix my eyelash extensions (which I had done by Lashes by Lana, which fell out after a few days, bought Groupon coupon) Amy at Skyer Spa did an amazing job! Place is very clean and calm. I ended up getting a pedicure as well. Bought a Groupon for this spa and was totally satisfied with the service. read more

Asked them if they would remove my gel nails and they didn't answer me. Just stared at me as I stood in the store. After a couple minutes, she said no. They had 0 customers in their store. read more

I bought a Groupon coupon a while back for manicure which I was happy since it lasted long, although the customer service was horrible! I still gave it a shot again and bought another one for eyelash extensions. I called to schedule and appointment and they said since I use a coupon before I cannot use this coupon again! WHAT?!!! So the money is in their pocket but they won't give me service? They said I have to pay the full price and they would not even give me an estimate!!!!!! I contacted Groupon and they gave me credit. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all! read more

Absolutely deceiving. We went with a Groupon for a manicure and we were charged an extra 5$ for a third colour when it did not specify anywhere that this was the case. The employee said "ya we just tell our customers about the charge when they come in". Seriously? We called prior to going and made it clear we had a groupon for a manicure, and wanted to know how much a pedicure would cost. The lady on the phone said they had a special for 16.99$ so we thought that was a good deal. When checking out they said the pedicure was 28$ because were using a groupon when our previous conversation on the phone didn't make us think this in any way. Don't buy the groupon, you will end up paying full price in one way or another. These people are liars and this place will most likely shut down soon. Ps. They had 5 employees present and only ONE person who could do nails. It took almost 2.5 hours for me and my sister to get our nails done. The money we saved was lost in time... read more

The spa is clean and the girl who does nails is meticulous yet efficient. I only give 4 stars because you cannot book multiple people at once since there is only one girl who does it plus she can't do things like nail extensions. Otherwise, if you just want something simple this place is good to go to. I had a Groupon for a shellac mani. read more

Won't be coming back nor buying groupons for this place. Lack of customer service. They make your take your shoes off upon entering. Didn't feel very clean. The workers didn't seem too thrilled to be there. There was no music on, so it was uncomfortable dead silence. And I mean DEAD silence, other than the buzzing noise of the not so greatly working massage chair and the periodic duck ringtone on the workers cell phone. Forgot to mention I was there with my mom for a pedicure. We were in and out within 20 minutes, and this was without any colour. They used just the one file to remove dead skin from the heal. My mom insisted on giving them a more than good tip (over 20%, because that's just how she's been raised) and the girl behind the counter barely made a peep of a thank you. I asked for a dollar back in change and she looked and looked and searched in her little pouch until she could find enough quarters, dimes and nickels. Needless to say, never coming back. read more

I used the Groupon for the Shellac Manicure. I called in to make an appointment, but the staff can't really speak English. They asked me for my voucher number, confirmed it, and then hung up without asking my name or phone number to book the appointment so I assumed they just penciled me in with my caller ID number? The day before the appointment I got a text message confirming my number (so make sure you don't call from a land line lol). You have to be buzzed in to enter the spa. Everyone speaks in their language and makes you feel awkward. They don't make small talk with you (which I actually appreciated). Colour selection was good, customer service was decent, but the quality of the manicure was okay. They then charged me a $3 "tax" which I don't understand because there was already a tax on the groupon price itself. They also don't tell you this until you are half way out of the door. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I probably won't go back. read more
