    Reviews With Photos

    Today was my first visit to The Nailkeeper and I couldn't be happier. When I arrived and showed the receptionist my reference photo, she consulted my original nail tech and then asked if I'd be willing to wait a bit longer for another technician as the original didn't think she could replicate the design. I much prefer the honesty over being unhappy with my nails. Heidi did my nails and she replicated the design perfectly. She was friendly and the salon was clean and beautifully decorated. Heidi's care and attention to detail was impeccable. They took ten percent off my bill to compensate for the wait time. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment with Heidi!

    My nails started significantly chipping the day after a mani. This is exactly three days after getting my nails done here. Not worth it.

    I was thoroughly disappointed by the manicure I received. 80 something dollars for a mani/pedi when the nail polish starts significantly chipping the next day is some of the worst quality I've experienced. Additionally, generally when I get a mani/pedi they do them at the same time instead of separately so it took longer than expected. It's sad because the staff are nice and the place is kind of interesting on the inside, albeit small, but won't be going back except to maybe request a refund.

    I'm surprised by all these reviews as I had a really great experience at the Nailkeeper salon. I ended up going there as I was part of a bridal party that booked a spa day here. One of the bridesmaids have great reviews and talked to the owner about booking for a private function. We were able to go on a Sunday night after close so we had the whole salon to ourselves. With the purchase of a liquor license we were able to bring in our own booze which we of course accompanied with food. The salon had a great bar-like setup! We were all able to rotate between nails and pedis. Now for the service. I got a set of acrylic nails with shellac. All the tools are very clean and they have a great color selection. I liked that they had a nail "legend" so that you were able to get the shape of nail that you want! The girl was very precise and didn't mind when I wanted to interrupt here for a drink :) I would definitely go back. The owner was great- always filling up our drinks and making sure we had a good time. She shared all the neat co ventures the salon is involved in such as yoga and pedi and reading time with kids!

    Ready for the holidays!

    I had a bit of time to waste one afternoon so I decided to go for a manicure! I live only a few blocks away so after hearing good reviews for this place I thought I should check it out! With the holidays coming I wanted to treat myself. After attempting to use their booking system online I thought I should maybe call and see if there was an appointment that would suit my needs a little better. Lucky for me they could take me in just 20 mins. Yay!! When I arrived I was immediately greeted by 2 sweet Asian ladies. They knew who I was and offered to hang up my coat and asked if I wanted a tea or coffee. It took about 1.5 hours to do my nails, a little longer than anticipated. However my nail tech Heidi took the time and attention to detail really showed in the end. Their selection of polishes and gel colours is huge and you'll have a difficulty choosing! It took me nearly an hour to finally decide what I wanted. The cost is comparable to any other nail salon in the city. And the service is great! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    Design manicure

    I was really not impressed with the service. Staff did not introduce themselves. They knew I wanted a manicure with Design but had someone who did not do design work on my manicure. I had to wait for them to change girls. The design was wonderful. The tech who did my grand daughter dug so hard she made Ava's toe bleed. The herbal pedicure was all of 30 minutes. My daughter in law liked that they listened. My youngest granddaughter had fun I would have liked to see the child size pedicure chair since you offer that service.

    I went to The Nailkeeper because of location to get my gel nails filled on September 21st. The set looked great so I was happy, but two weeks later, 2 of the gel nails completely fell off out of nowhere! No trauma or anything - just poof - gone! The Nailkeeper will only do repairs within 4 days so I decided it was going to be too much money (over $60 after tip for a fill) if they were just going to fall off, and I booked into have my nails removed. Because of multiple surgeries, I've had gel nails removed a few times in the past, and let me tell you, this experience was the absolute worst. Had I known the technician was just going to pry the nails off with a tool that looked much like a letter opener, I wouldn't have paid to have them removed. I could have further damaged my nails myself. I actually winced out loud a few times because she was prying so hard it hurt like crazy, and then my original nails were ripped midway through the nail bed. When I told her that I'd never had them removed like this she said this was why she doesn't like to remove nails. You'll even notice some bruising from it. She tried to say two of my nails were lifting and that I should have come in immediately to have them repaired, but yet they those two nails were the ones she had to put the most effort in removing and caused the most pain. The receptionist (who was so nice and wonderful to deal with) told me to email the manager with photos and explain everything that happened, so I did and unfortunately the response I received was pretty passive aggressive basically stating that they are accepting of constructive criticism, yet no responsibility was taken. They said the employee who was prying my nails off said my nails were weak underneath the gel. After this experience, I won't return. My nails are a wreck and I paid over $75 for them to end up like this.

    Shellac

    Not sure what happened with other people's experiences but I've been getting my nail services done here for the past almost two years. Classic mani/pedi, gel nails and shellac. My boyfriend and I love this place and it's our go-to! We're always treated amazingly by their friendly staff and always catered to. I've been recommending this place to all who give me compliments on my nails (thx to the girls here)!

    When I got home and got a closer look at my toes I noticed one of the nails was not cut and filed straight. She also did not use a top coat on my nails and the chairs for drying your toes are overly comfortable. I wanted to love them because the staff are lovely and I love the decor and the selection of colours but it just wasn't up to my standard.

    After pic of cut from cuticles getting cut located on big toe :(

    Not happy! I've been here a couple of time and the results were decent. But like others I have made appointments online prior only to come in and wait on one occasion an hour! Staff had me chose a color on the one occurrence and I ended up sitting at the tech desk for what seemed like an eternity. I didn't say anything because I would have thought they knew I had an appointment? The appointment mishaps have happened every single time so now I would just walk in and try and get my nails done without bothering to book online. seriously don't bother! My big complainant and reason for this review is because when I went for a pedicure (booked and walked in just to see if I would be confirmed) lol don't worry I wasn't confirmed till an hr after walking in. The lady doing the pedicure stated at one point "haha I haven't cut you yet were doing good." Guess what. she cut me!!!! lol and it hurt and now There's a scar. The color also smeared when I got home and took off my shoes. After the color had dried at the salon because I had nails done after! So yeah.. while this place has potential it lacks experience and structure.

    Definitely has to be one of the best nail places in the city. Creative, on trend, with a huge…read moreselection of colours. No matter how simple or how elaborate you want your nails done, this place will not disappoint. Check out their instagram account for pics of all their work. Warning - it's about a one month wait for an appointment, so when you book for your first appointment, book your second appointment at the same time. No walk-ins. But trust me, it's worth the wait.

    My boyfriend booked me in for a pedicure for my birthday weekend and I've never been here before…read morebut it's 2 mins away from where we live so I was excited to check it out. I chose the regular polish pedicure and the girl who did them, did them fine but during the end she didn't even help to dry them out. Usually in my experience with regular pedicures, they let your feet dry with an electric fan or spray the fast drying spray, and check up on you as it's drying. She finished painting them and told me to just sit and wait for it to dry, should be good in 10-15 min. She never once checked up on me since, even as I was leaving. I waited and then after 15-20min I put my shoes back on and headed to go pay, while at the checkout I looked at my toes again and they were ruined. I asked the receptionist if someone could fix it and she said i would have to wait 30-45 min till someone could re do them. Long story short they fixed it and finally dried it with an electric fan, and the second lady who did it, was a lot more considerate when it came to making sure my toes were all dry before I left. This could have all been avoided if the first lady did this to begin with. What should have been an hour and a half experience turned to almost 3 hours. Also I asked the first lady who did my pedicure if there was time to get a manicure today as well. She told me to ask reception cause she only knows her schedule. She never even bothered to inquiry for me, or help me out to see if there was any room for the service. Overall it wasn't the best birthday pedicure experience. I'm very thankful my boyfriend booked this for me but I was unhappy with how the experience turned out. ***Update: Shay the lady who did my pedicure who I referred to on my review called me today upon coming across my review, and sincerely apologized for what happened and was more than eager to make my experience better by offering me to come back and redoing the experience. I never write bad reviews in purpose to get free things out of people but to simply talk about an unpleasant experience in hopes the business can learn from it and never even thought they would reply or reach out to me. Just the fact that they called me back right away to apologize made me feel valued as a customer and feel more than just a dollar sign to them. I appreciate businesses like this and I look forward to coming back and having a better experience. Customer service is very important to me when it's comes to a business and just them calling back to apologize is enough for me to review them with 5 stars.
