Like I could even ask for a second color or French tip and they seem annoyed. I came in so worried I'd bother them. And they were AMAZING. They kept reassuring me they're MY nails and they took great care of me. They were kind and so so so talented. And my nails have never lasted longer. I literally only had to get them off because they grew out so much I wanted another set! They truly went beyond and above. It's the first time I've decided to actually get my nails done on a regular basis.

Went for a pedicure today during my lunch and the tech that did my nail was rough. She dropped my…read morefoot on the rest multiple times. She also over drilled my nail when removing my no-chip and it is paper thin and red. I do not understand why they remove the no-chip by drilling instead of soaking-off like you are supposed to. She tried to say my nail was like that before, and although it WAS a little on the thinner side, she drilled to the point that it is sore and red and I felt it bothering me in the water. I left with no polish to do it myself at home because she was so rough. She also filed my nails horribly and I had to refile my nails at home. Jagged edges and crooked. I definitely won't be back especially for a $65 pedicure this bad.

That was more than five years ago and I can't even imagine going back to my old, unmanicured ways now! LOL Nikki is an extremely talented nail artist who has attracted other amazing nail artists to join her boutique--the growth of her business has been incredible to witness. It is always a good vibe whenever I'm there. Since I've been a regular with Nikki, my nails have become stronger and grow faster. I credit this largely to the care she shows my nails during manicures as well as the helpful tips she has given me over the years. And it doesn't hurt that her nail art is always on point! I get so many compliments on my nails wherever I go, it has been a huge confidence boost for me. I have also bought a couple items from her clothing boutique that are super cute. I love browsing before/after my appointments. If you're in the market for an amazing nail artist, look no further than the technicians at Nail Vida Boutique!

I started going to her for extensions because I am a nail biter and Holly was so patient with me to ensure we figured out what base coats and colors worked best for me. A year later, I am able to grow my own nails out. She is also super talented when it comes to nail art! I didn't come across anything she couldn't achieve. Sadly since Holly moved to her own space, I live too far to go regularly. Miss you Holly! If you live near her new location, definitely book an appointment (but do it early, she books up quick!)

I also enjoyed my experience, the welcoming energy, and the quality of the work. I got a No-Chip Pedicure with a French Tip.

Because of that, I'm deducting one star. ** also want to add that she followed the inspo I gave her for the French tip

I needed my nails done for an October 2024 wedding and found Ipop Central. They had glowing reviews…read moreso I booked an appointment over the phone with owner Mylinh the week of the wedding. MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.

Madelyn is located in the Ogilvie building (2nd floor) and easy to get in and out of. Each time I've come, I was sat right away and the environment is peaceful and relaxing. This place would also be great for commuters because you'll be in and out to catch your train in a flash! There are always appointments available and the booking process is easy - over the phone and online. Once your appointment is made, you get a follow up text confirming your appointment. Pricing is also on point! Definitely the most affordable manicures I get and they always hold up. For each manicure, a fresh set of tools is used and you can tell the salon is well-maintained and clean. There are plenty of colors to choose from and even when I made a special nail color request, my tech layered colors for the perfect shade. The nail techs are skilled, efficient, and gentle. I've seen both Alie and Kevin, both are wonderful. I've seen Alie twice for a no-chip manicure and it held up against all the work I do with my hands. She is so friendly and gentle in her work. I saw Kevin for a Russian manicure with builder gel and my nails look fabulous. He works quickly but you wouldn't know it by looking at the end result! If you're thinking about coming in, make the appointment! This will be your new go-to salon, no doubt.

She took her time shaping and perfecting my nails with so much care and precision. I asked for a specific design and she absolutely nailed it (pun intended). One of the best parts? She actually cleaned up my cuticles!!something I've noticed a lot of nail salons don't bother with anymore. That extra attention to detail did not go unnoticed and made me feel so taken care of. The atmosphere is on the smaller side but gives off total luxury vibes. It's clean, elegant, and super calming. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, but special shout-out to the owner, Kevin. I had trouble finding parking and he literally came outside to help me figure it out. That level of service is so rare these days and really made me feel like a valued customer. Overall: 10/10 experience. I'll absolutely be coming back.

I chose Dazzle Dry polish, which I normally have good luck with. Unfortunately, my manicure chipped the next day, which was frustrating because I'm very careful with my hands. I felt like the service just didn't live up to the price. If I'm paying over $120 for a mani/pedi, I would like to have a little more of a luxe experience. It felt like there was just a lack of attention to detail - hot towels and parrafin applied way too hot, the chipping the next day, etc. If you need a basic mani/pedi, I think you will have a good experience. But for me, the experience just didn't live up to the price tag.
