I was in Victoria with some family members for a few days and decided that we needed to get our…read morenails done. I was in the Hillside area and did a quick google search and found Famous Nails. I was very pleased when they had the time and space to accommodate us right then and there. The salon itself is nice, a large space with plenty of manicure tables and pedicure chairs. It was refreshing that they didn't have any loud music blasting, just the nice calm of conversation. I was the only one getting a pedicure, and they had a great deal going -- $35 (though their regular price of $45 is a steal as well). The man who did my pedicure was good. My soaking water was a nice temperature (I've noticed in previous salons this seems to be hard for them to figure out) and he attempted some pleasantries with me before getting down to work, which I appreciated. He did a nice job with cutting my toenails, shaping, etc. I have issues with ingrown toenails if my nails are cut improperly, but he handled the shaping well. He also did a great job with the nail colour. My only complaint, which is where the one start got knocked off, is that while he did file my feet, he didn't do that thorough of a job. I had an old rub spot from a few weeks ago that left a little patch of dry skin on the sole of my foot and it was still there afterwards -- the while point of filing my feet is to get rid of that. Plus he never mentioned using "the cheese grater", which seems to be a normal option (and one I usually take advantage of). But other than that, the foot massage was decent, and overall I'm happy with the pedicure (especially for the price)! If I'm ever in the neighbourhood, I'll definitely drop by again. I'm mostly doing this review for any locals who are looking for a nice pedicure. Also -- there is parking in front of the salon or across the street at the Hillside Mall, so there's no issues with finding somewhere to park.

My acrylic nail fill was fine, I was asked to pay $10 extra because of the length, not all places…read morecharge extra but the girl did reduce it to $5 more when I remarked about that. They also don't push back your cuticles, which I guess some places don't? I have never come across that. My big issue is the lack of sanitation. Not a single tool or nail file is sanitized between clients. They all sit in the same stand that is used from client to client. The nail files are not even given a simple spray! The techs still sit behind the useless glass partitions and wear useless masks but they don't sanitize a single thing for their clients! I won't be returning as sanitizing tools is an simple and necessary part of running a nail salon.
