I went to this salon on Friday morning, March 27, 2025, hoping to find my new nail spot since I'm…read morerelatively new to Victoria. What I experienced was not just bad service -- it was alarming and unsafe. For context, I keep my nails very basic. I only get a gel manicure, no tips, no designs, nothing fancy. Despite the salon not being busy (about three customers and multiple employees), I waited 10-15 minutes to be seated and another 10-15 minutes before my pedicure began. The salon was steaming hot, and I was sweating the entire time. The pedicure itself was fine, but when I stood up, staff pointed out that my toe had been smudged and laughed among themselves instead of fixing it -- no apology, no attempt to correct it. Then things got much worse. I was sent for my manicure and was never once asked to wash my hands. My nails were painted while nail buff dust was still all over my hands. The tools being used looked worn out and not sterilized, with visible debris and skin still on them -- draw your own conclusions. Within five minutes, the technician cut my finger so badly that I was bleeding all over the table. When I started bleeding, she rolled her eyes and acted as if it were my fault. No apology. No concern. She applied a yellow powder directly to my open cut without explaining what it was, even after I asked. Later, my finger became black and yellow and looked infected, which was honestly terrifying. The manicure itself was awful -- no shaping, polish already fading within days, and product left all over my skin, leaving my fingers stuck together. This was especially upsetting because I had my best friend's wedding the very next day. I checked out bleeding, sweating, and clearly distressed, and was charged $134. I was offered no apology, no explanation, no discount -- nothing. I still tipped 25%, and there was still zero remorse shown. This salon destroyed my 25‑year‑old hand on a Friday morning. What happened here goes far beyond a "bad manicure." Between the lack of basic hygiene, the injury, and the complete lack of professionalism, this place feels genuinely unsafe. In my opinion, it should not be operating in its current state. I will never return, and I strongly caution anyone who cares about cleanliness, safety, or their health.

This lead to the black polish underneath to rub off and fade.. and also, these bats are NOT worth $10 per nail. The MOST i would say is $5-6, definitely not $10. The bats aren't perfect, which they should've been since i paid a total of 185 fucking DOLLARS. They only told me the price after putting my tips and some acrylic on.. and ik i shouldve said no and walked away but im a very shy and nervous person so im working on speaking up. Never coming back here again. They are cute for the most part, definitely wearing these for a month or more to make the most of it.

They took…read moreoff the nails and then added powder only over my nails except for two nails - one that I had broken and one they broke. it took over two hours and the artwork looks like something my eight year old granddaughter did. They ladybugs are two circles (ladybugs don't have two body parts ) and some are lopsided with the head off to the side of the body. they eyes are white dots and are different sizes on each ladybug. They are different sizes on the same ladybug. The antennas are just dashes with a dot at the end, which would be OK except half of them are not attached to the body. The dots on the lady bugs are dashes. There is no center line on the body. I asked that all of the nails have some design on them and two on each hand were solid and a ladybug (if you can call them that) was added as an afterthought. For all of this I had to pay $65 for the nails and another $40 for the artwork. I will not go there if you want a design on your nails. It cost me $105 to get childish artwork!!
