After trying 3x calling and calling ALMOND NAILS in the same neighborhood as this place, I went with URBAN. They answer the phones right away, was able to book you in same day, and answered all your questions on appointment length and price range to expect. I've walked by this place a lot in the mall but this will be the first time I have my nails done. And I am super excited to give them a try. The place is bright and clean. read more

just got back from pedi & medi. i could maybe handle the fact that she didn't ask me what shape I wanted or if I like the color before continuing to put it on. but the lady was sloppy!! I got regular nail polish & she never dry it in between & she just wasn't crisp with her finishing of the nails. I had nail polish on the skin of my fingers that just disappointing read more

Okay so i never like came for the person that did my pedicure cuz he was nice n all but they do not clean your toes up. Im growing a ingrown nail now and it hurts so bad. Looking at my toes now, obviously my toenails have grown but i notices that my pedi did not cover my whole nail. What I mean is the sides are completely empty and i really gave the person that did them the benefit of the doubt but now i am aggravated. read more

Urban Nail Spa - Helen did a beautiful job on my nails today - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I've been here 4 times for acrylic and once for pedicure. I think ones experience here is strongly determined by the nail tech. I always get my nails done by Em. She is speedy but precise. She has never hurt me with her tools and it has always been a pleasant experience. I do a lot of chores and often come in contact with water but my acrylic nails don't start to lift until 4.5-5 weeks later and that is when I usually go in for a fill. I have been to many popular ig home-based nail techs and I find that Em is the best out of all of them for shaping, full sets, speediness, and sturdiness. I've only had nail art/design once and it was good but not the best. She's good if you like solid colors and rhinestones but not nail art that requires precise lines. I gave 4/5 because it's not the cleanest environment and the one time I got a pedicure here, it was just so so. read more

I WENT WITH MY FRIEND WHO SPEAKS VIET, and told me they keep talking shit about our nails and was extremely rude. When they messed up in the coulor they refused to change it for free. If you want cheap looking nails SURE come to Urban nails and if you want RUDE services. BUT I recommend going somewhere way better. read more

First of all, i was a walk in customer and they let me wait for 10 min, which is fine and i like that. However, 1. the Nail tech who created a full set on my nails is very concerning, I guess her name is Linda or Thuy, she cut my cuticle and bleed 2 of my fingers. 2. She called me " con khách" when talking to her coworker in front of my face when she knows i understand Vietnamese, and I was born in Vietnam and just moved to Vancouver for more than 2 years. 3. When she used her nail file to work on my nails, it hit my real nails underneath and i told her" it's hurt", she didn't apologize and said" it's because my real nails is short". 4. When i ask her to cut my nails super short for 2 specific finger on my left hand, so that i can use it to remove my contact lense everyday, she decided to make it A BIT shorter than the other 8 fingers despite the fact that i told her 3 times i need it short. So i went back home, try to remove it before sleep and figure out i can't poke my eyes with this nails, so i have to CUT it myself to make it short enough to remove the lenses myself. At the end, she put the cuticle oil very quick without properly checking it so my skin around that area is so dry. At the end, no apologized for this bad service and she immediately moved on to the next customer. This set costs me 73 ( w/o tax) and i still tip. I could have said something, but at that time, i didn't think about it much because i was sleepy, so i went back home and see all the horrible things i have to deal with, I wrote this serious long review about this place. It could be better for other customer but for this experience, if i could give them 0 star, i sure will do. read more

Really good! I checked the yelp comments its bad but because its just my choice i went there. The comments are fault. The place is perfect!:) read more

This was the worst manicure I've ever had. I should have left when I saw how filthy her station was. Or that her tools were not sterilized between people. I asked for just a simple manicure but got strong armed into UV gel polish. Then when she went to apply the polish I asked "umm are you not going to do the cuticles?" she was like "oh? You want a manicure? It will be $35" yeah! That's what I asked for from the start! She was so pre-occupied. Chatting, doing other things, getting up to do stuff. I almost said "is this a bad time for you? Should I just go?" because she was clearly busy. After asking she did my cuticles, then did the polish. After she put lotion my on hands and arms and massaged each hand for around 15 seconds before wiping it off with a hot towel and calling it done. She had only buffed the middle of the nail and not the edges and applied the polish not to the cuticle bed so it started to lift and grew out 4 days later. Not worth the money at all. read more

Please DO NOT go to this nail salon! I went in for a French pedicure 2 weeks before my wedding and now I have a pedicure nail infection! WHAT A DISASTER!!!!!! She cut so deep and was using unhygienic tools that caused an infection on my right toe and the worst part is... I went to the doctor and he can't prescribe me antibiotics because I'm 6 months pregnant. THANK YOU URBAN NAIL SALON FOR RUINING MY LIFE AND CAUSING ME STRESS AND PAIN BEFORE MY WEDDING!! I CANT EVEN WEAR PROPER SHOES RIGHT NOW AND IT HURTS TO WALK!!! STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS NAIL SALON!! Plus it's way too expensive anyways. read more

I asked for gel nails and they did acrylic with gel overlay and told me it was powder gel, there's no such thing. When I asked what that was cause I knew it didn't exist her explanation was "it's better". Acrylic is cheaper and gel is more expensive so I do feel like they ripped me off. I went at the end of the day and the files she used on me were very dusty and very used. My nail tech though did a very lovely job and the nails did look great and lasted, and she did converse with me which I like. If you're looking for a clean professional place for your nails, this is not it. However if you just want your nails done they will leave you with a satisfactory result. She never cut me, no infections. If I need nails done again I would go back read more

First time there. Good service and got the job done no complaints. Everybody welcoming and careful. Employee's chatted towards the end while doing my nails but i don't mind job was done perfectly. read more

I have a friend that has been going to Michael for 4 years. Naturally, when I told her I needed my nails done for my wedding... She sent me to Michael. And oh my gosh... He did such an amazing job!! He's a really really sweet guy who is excellent at what he does. He has a knack for creating a style that suits his clients so I let him have free reign over my nails and my only request was that he keep it looking classy. I absolutely love my nails!!! My hands have never looked better. My nails took an hour and a half to do and he was so careful to make them look extra special. He even told me to come back if any happened between now and my wedding. It's easy to tell that he cares about each client and I was seriously impressed with his service. He is AMAZING at what he does and I would recommend him in a heart beat! read more

Urban Nail Spa - Some classy bling gel nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I wouldnt go to any of these nail salons inside metrotown. Came here only because i had a broken nail but needed a color change also. the guy that helped me was nice and all, unfortunately didnt seem to know what he was doing. i said i wanted to soak it off, 1 second to him ripping it off i said "no! soak off please". the shaping was off, super thick, sat there for a good hour and i was cut. paid close to $80 with 10% off for cutting me... i expect a salon placed inside metrotown to be more professional, not just how it looks inside. I literally could have got a better job done at a home based smh. read more

I keep having to return to this establishment due to the lack of salon availability that fits my work schedule. I usually keep it very simple, as they are ultimately a chop shop. just speedy, freshen basic gel/acrylic. the very few times that I've requested a design such as marble, criss-cross lines. they've somehow managed to mess it up everytime. when you do point it out to them, the manager lady (lynn) will just sulk and tell me "this is how it is supposed to be" and the one of the times, I had the cashier guy, the techinician and the manager all laugh at my complaint (and just ranting in vietnamese). today was the last straw, I went to do a re-fill and it mustve been a slow day. because 4 other ladies all decided to hover around my table and start chatting away. which I am totally fine with, but one of the lady said something about me and ran away laughing. it was loud and in a foreign language. which ultimately makes a client uncomfortable. in the end, my nail color was not even the right shade, but ultimately i did not want to say anything (due to our previous interaction) and walked out. mind you, i still tipped.... overall, okay basic technique. but man, yall gotta work on that customer service, dude. read more

My daughter and i went for a pedi today. I had initially asked if they had a deal for kids, the owner rolled her eyes. The lady that did my nail was yawning quite a bit and was rushing to finish it. Quite disappointed! We will never go back at Urban Nails. read more

So after going to this place a few times... I've stopped. I want to warn people about this place. It's definitely changed since the first time I went here. I went first thing in the morning and waited for 30 minutes to be seated in the pedicure chair. Mind you, no one was there. There was a man and I waiting for a manicure and pedicure. Ok fine, I believed the owner when he said his techs were coming in 5 minutes, over 5x. Then the man who was also waiting, and I were asked to be seated in the pedicure chairs by the owner, and the water was turned on and the salts were added. No problem, until I waited another 45 minutes. The owner kept giving excuses that it will be another 5 minutes over and over. At this point my skin was pruney and my feet were cold. Then a couple of technicians strolled in laughing about being late - so I waited some more. Then suddenly a lady screaming in Mandarin runs in telling the manager how they "effed up her acrylics". So instead of the customers who were waiting for the late technicians to be helped first - this lady budges the line. AND the manager lets her! Obviously the man who arrived before me got his nail technician, which is understandable. But just because this lady made a freaking scene I have to wait again?! I was livid at this point. I told him, I've patiently waited for your staff to arrive for over an hour. I'm cold and my feet are wet, and you let a screaming lady go in front of the us because she made a scene!? I'm sorry but this is horrible - no respect for their customers. I suggest going to professional nail salon beside chapters. Don't waste your time at this place - you'll probably turn 100 years old before they even see you. read more

I was honestly so in love with my nails the first time i got them done which was last week (refill). The next day I noticed that there was a crack on the side of my nail from before the refill the girl had done, I guess she didn't notice it was cracked. I went back Saturday,and I understand they are busy but there customer service was so bad. I walked in to tell them what had happened and everyone inside the salon turned to stare and listen...awkward. One of the ladies came up to me with a file and kind of filled my nail on the side, yet the crack was still there.One of the managers ( i think ) came up to me and looked at my nail and said "we are really busy right now, I only have 2 hands." Walks away while saying come back later or another day,just be care full with it. Now I have 9 beautiful nails and 1 ugly broken nail. read more

Brutal experience! Im usually super skeptical of nail places, but this place "confirmed" that once again! Went for a mani pedi cus i was in desperate need of one. The woman doing my feet didn't speak english at all and was very rough with her pedi! She ended up leaving after applying the nailpolish and never returned to check on me! The woman doing my hands was just as bad! And left me also! I basically got up and left! Worst customer experience! And the shellac on my nails chipped that same day! Don't go there! Waste of money and time read more

I've been going to this nail spa and they never disappoint me ! Katrina , sarah and a new girl trin they take their time to do my nails ! I definitely suggest them if you ever went to this place ! read more

I'm in town for a wedding and I desperately needed a solar fill. As a groomsmaid, my dark, sparkly, grown out solar nails were tacky. They close at 9 and I arrived at 8:30. I asked if they had time for a plain fill, nothing fancy. The technician I had (I wish I would have caught her name!!) was FANTASTIC. She worked super SUPER fast, but such good quality, and detail. One of the best sets I've had done. I'm very happy. Thanks! read more

the lady was super nice but my nails ended too looking so bumpy and uneven and they charged me 70 dollars for them :( i wanted an almond french tip with colour, wouldn't recommend getting it done here if you want them to be worth your money read more

Visiting Vancouver I needed an acrylic nail fill. I saw this salon in the Mall. Checked Yelp reviews and decided to take a chance. I arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday morning and was taken at once. After reading reviews I made sure we agreed on a price before the work was done. The girl who did my nails took a lot of care making sure I was happy with the work all along the way. She was happy to fix anything I pointed out. I am very happy with the results. read more

Too bad I have to give this place 1-star to leave a review even though they deserve zero, to be honest! I had a terrible experience getting my nails done at this place. This woman who did my nails kept commenting about how dry my hands are after I had already told her I have eczema! She kept saying it over and over really trying to insult me. I said to her "I told you I have eczema, it's a skin condition. I didn't wish to have it" she then tells me "I dunno if the colour will last coz you're skin's so dry." Is that how these people run this place? By insulting their customers? Best believe I'll never go back here. read more

I dropped in today for a pedicure. Luckily i didnt have to wait at all. Brenda took me in right away. Shes definetely knows her stuff, very detailed and put lot of effort on her work. She was very professional, kind and gentle. I briefly had any ideas what color i wanted, Brenda just picked the right color for me. I was so happy that i came to this place, cant wait to go on my holiday and show off my beautiful pedicure . Thanks Brenda , ill be back in 2 weeks. read more

when i came into the store i was a bit hesitant, but they welcomed me with open arms. the lady that i worked with was very nice and skilled. it was also my first time getting acrylics so i didn't know what to expect. i was surprise on how well they ended up, they look exact what i wanted and looked very professional. i'll definitely come back some time :) read more

If youre doing an acrylic set, ask for Katrina! She never disappoints! She is probably my favourite nail tech! She is speedy however she does everything with care. My nails have never chipped or fell off until the usual fill time period. She is usually able to do the designs I asked her to do as well. Very nice nail tech! :) read more

This place is total shit. My cousin and I went to get our toes done here. The owner did my cousins toes & some lady did mine. the lady that did my toes hurt me so freaken bad she pushed this tool on the skin of my toe and I said ow but she didn't really acknowledge it. She also used this hot mf towel super hot to clean my legs. AND she randomly got up and walked around the store while she was suppose to be painting my toes. The owner did my cousins toes and she decided to use the the electric buffer and it burnt her toe nail! AND THE HOT TOWEL BURNT MY COUSIN FOOT! Her legs were all red and it bubbled up. ANYWAYS my point is this place really fucken sucks if you want your toes to be burnt and your leg and your experience to be painful PLEASE GO HERE!!! Also I heard them say about another lady "omg this lady's feet is so fucken dirty" ABSOLUTELY RUDE. If I could give them 0 stars I would. read more

I LOVE this place. I used to always get my nails done with Jenny, unsure if she still works there but the lady with glasses with her hair up is also really good! They charge a really affordable and fair price for shellac gel polish change, and it never chips before my next appointment (I go every 3-4weeks) like it does from other salons. Highly recommend their express shellac polish change! read more

Awful experience TWICE. First time, asked if they had time to do two pedi at the same time they said yes, made us wait forever to start, and had one start way before the other. Second time yesterday on my birthday, made an appointment for 8pm for 2 people for mani AND pedi. Once again made us wait but even longer. At 820 my feet still had not been touched while my girlfriends pedi had started 10 minutes before. The salon closes at 9pm, and I was wondering how they planned to finish two gel pedis in that time frame, not to mention 2 mani also. Worst experience will NEVER go back. Blacklist this hole in the wall, customer service is not a priority whatsoever, only how much people they can squeeze in to not lose any money. read more

It is such a shame as I find the people here friendlier than the ones at a previous nail salon I always went to. However, the quality at Urban Nail Spa is really poor (gel nails chipping 2 days after getting them done, etc.) so I've decided to switch back to my old nail place even if the staff is not as friendly... read more

So here's the story you guys. My girlfriend goes in and gets gel/shellac done on her nails. And let me tell you, the service was not good and they kept staring at me for some reason. But anyways so she gets her nails done and we go home and a few hours later it comes off. Like three of them just break. The quality just wasn't there. I wasn't impressed. If I could give a negative rating I would. You know what, I give them a -10/5 . Maybe they should pay more attention to detail instead of staring at other things. Don't go here. Garbage. read more

A friend and I went for pedicure and his one toe is still infected from 4 weeks ago. I used to go here all the time for my gel fill from Jenny who is amazing. But after this experience I don't trust the cleanliness anymore. read more

The woman who did my friend's nails was rude to us. And because we are not understanding each other, she asked us how long have we been in Canada. I replied, "3yrs". She said, "3yrs not 3months, right?" She even advised my friend to choose a nail art that is easy for them to do next time. We definitely won't be coming back here. read more

Please do not go to this nail salon. I came in for a fill yesterday and it was the most rushed I have ever experienced. The salon was very quiet and it was in the middle of a week day so they were not busy so there was no reason for my fill to only have taken 35 minutes. The nail tech did a very sloppy job and did not care at all. My nails are slanted and uneven because she filed each one and shaped them in about 5 seconds for each nail. The electric file that they had sounded and felt like nails on a chalk board. Then to top the experience off the nail tech got very mad at me because apparently I wasn't putting my hands in the UV box properly, and then when we went to give my nails the final wipe my thumb looked like it had wet nail polish that had been touched and was all bumpy. She tried to say good-bye, but when I showed her my thumb she got even more angry and tried blaming me, shaking her head very angrily and mumbling rudely. She then very roughly and very quickly filed off the messed up gel polish and then while there were still little bits of the old polish left on my thumb, she started painting my thumb once again and was very rude about it. Once it was done she gave me a dirty look and did not say anything more. Will not be returning. Not to mention she cut me multiple times with the electric file. read more

My nails look good but the service and staff at this salon were absolutely terrible.
