Just got a gel manicure by Judy and she was lovely! My nails look great, manicure was clean and very affordable especially for the convenience of the location. Thanks Judy! read more

I didn't get the chance to get a manicure before I came out to Vancouver (from Los Angeles), and needed someplace near the Convention Center that would take walk-ins. I'm so glad I found Waterfront Nails!! ....And I almost didn't find it! PRO TIP: Ask for the public washrooms on the waterfront - the nail salon is the next door over! The directions using iMaps and Google maps takes you to the parking structure of the Convention Center, on the complete opposite side you need to be on. You'll need to walk past the restaurants and go all the way back behind the convention center to the waterfront, and look for the washrooms (or ask a friendly Canadian if they know where the restrooms are) -- Waterfront nails is right next to it. I walked in 30 minutes before they were supposed to close, and there were only 2 people in the salon. Both women were friendly and I did not feel rushed or awkward. I got a jelly cat eye gel manicure, and it is gorgeous! I can't remember the woman's name, but she did such a good job that 3 weeks later, even with my nails grown out, the gel manicure is still solid and shiny! No peeling, chipping or other damage. And trust me, I am rough on my nails. read more

Anna was so sweet and thoughtful! And she took the extra time to make sure my feet were ready for the three days of walking I had ahead of me! The view is fantastic- very relaxing read more

Wow. Judy did an amazing job on my nails. I was staying in a hotel nearby and desperately needed a fill so this location was convenient and not bad price-wise. Next time I will plan to get my nails done here on my next Vancouver vacation. read more

Best mani/pedi I've ever gotten. Mai and Anna were so sweet. My pedi included callous removal for no extra charge, which I've never experienced. They keep is so clean and the salon looks out over the bay so you can watch the sea planes land. Very fair price as well. read more

Excellent service and beautiful mani/pedi. Judy and Anna are lovely and so kind. This is my new nail place!

I started working in the area, and all the people at my office recommended Waterfront nails. You can get a mani pedi on lunch hour they said. I decided to make an appointment. I'm SO happy I did! I'm not well versed in the manicure options. I never had gel or dipped or shellac, what? So I put my faith in the professionals. Mai was so good at consulting. I told her I like a natural look, that I am low maintenance and won't be coming in regularly. So we did classic French tips. Wow I got so many compliments! I loved them, they didn't chip, and lasted 6-7 weeks. I have to mention, they did a basic pedicure while I sat in the massage chair, they did the mani at the same time. All while on lunch hour & gazing at the ocean & N Shore mountains! So I've been twice now. I went back for a fill in. This time I got dipped nails! I didn't ask for them but I put my trust in Mai. I was amazed by the process. Again, getting so many compliments. I'm surprised how strong they are. I'll be going back soon. Who knows what I'll try next time? read more

What a fantastic nail salon. I was visiting from Seattle and got to enjoy the amazing views while getting a Mani and Pedi and I'm really impressed with how nice my nails look. The staff was very friendly and spent a lot of time making sure my cuticles looked nice, and that my dip was the right thickness. highly recommend! read more

HIGHLY recommend this nail salon when visiting Vancouver! Not only was the view amazing watching the sea plane but the service!!! The nail technician "My" has great technique and the quality of my nails are A+ read more

Best manicure I've ever had! I'm not joking, this is the best dip manicure I've ever had. My Le is so kind, gentle, quick, efficient, and has great attention to detail. My nails have never looked more beautiful! I came in with damaged nails from a nail salon in Los Angeles. I was hesitant to get a dip manicure but she assured me I could get dip and my nails would be fine because she does not do any damage. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable with her professionalism and she did the most amazing job!!! I told her I wish I could take her home to LA with me. I work on a cruise ship that docks near the salon so for the next 4 months I am booking an appointment with her every month when I dock in Vancouver! It's the highlight of my day in port and my nails last the whole month! Also the space itself is lovely overlooking the water. It is a very calming, clean, and professional environment! 10/10 recommended!!!! read more

Mai does a great job for an excellent price! She did a nice consultation last week until we agreed on precisely what I wanted, which most popular nail salons downtown are completely unable to do. None of them carry the particular products I'm looking for. Got the nails done today and they're so fun! Mai was really patient with my pickiness and she customized my colour. I'm very happy with the result. read more

-10 This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. I told the owner that I want to get nails for my engagement. Everytime I came in she told me I had to wait and come back later. I was on lunch break and could not waste 30 minutes. She was feeding someone's dog who came in the shop. She favors white folk and turns into a completely different person when they are around. She did my nails in a complete rush yesterday. I showed her the picture from her own Instagram page and she does not match what's on the picture. She made me feel so upset yesterday. I really had waited for this week to get them done properly. She was very rough as well with my hands she kept yelling relax! And kept pulling my hands and finger tips. Worst nail experience yet. And if you call her when you try to explain she hangs up on you. Also she still answers the call bring fake on the phone to impress her white clients then hangs up again. If she didn't have time for me she shouldn't have said she did in the first place. I left my shopping behind, she took a walk in client after telling me to come by 2pm. She completely wasted my time, ruined my day, wasted my money $94! and now I need them redone as they are way too pink. I did the powder white tipsI with what should be neutral but looks too pink. She mixed up the powders and couldn't take responsibility for her bad actions. I will never go there again. Also worst of all she came into the washroom rushing me to come back since she was ready for me now! Worst customer service experience yet. I want my money and time back. She is not professional and doesn't make sure the client is happy. She is just concerned with taking your money and after doing such a horrible job she says to come back tomorrow to do my toes too. No way! I saw my hands in the sunlight and hated her work and she hangs up on me. She doesn't even care to make me an appointment. She's too concerned with her white clients and is so much nicer to them. She's racist and a fake. It's not like she's doing my nails for free, she overcharges anyway. I showed my nails to another salon they noticed the shape wasn't right and agreed on pink colour not being suitable and showed me their neutral powder. So I gave them a chance but this woman has been so awful to me on many occasions now. I will never go back. ​ read more

I searched high and low for a nail salon that did SNS nails (dipped nails). Finally found this hidden gem!!! Amazing service. Fast and friendly!! Surprisingly not many locals do dipped nails. Well worth the walk!!! And a great view of the harbor as well!!! Thank you for a great experience!! read more

I stopped in this morning to see about getting a grl mani/pedi. Mai was able to do it immediately for me and I am thrilled! I am going to Hawaii and showed her dome pictures of what I wanyed and she took the ideas and made them her own! I am so happy with my pretty toes and hands! Definitely recommend it and will repeat! read more

Walked away with a toe infection after getting a pedicure here. Seems like they don't sanitize their equipment properly. I learned my lesson! Never getting a pedi on a whim again! And especially not from here! read more

Was visiting from out of town and their location was convenient. First, they had very few gel colors which is disappointing when gel manicures seem to be more common these days instead of regular. Anyways, the quality of the polish and top coat was poor. My nails didn't come out shiny they looked dull. Was not worth the $$ read more

Very nice nail store,best location,nice view,excellent nail service.friendly staffs.very recommend

Staff was very friendly, professional and helpful. Love the care and attention they gave in my mani/pedi. The view is priceless

Good quality, not so great service. 3 people trying to manage 5 customers... Took over 2hrs for a gel manicure/pedi because they were trying to do various people at once. Also, they didn't turn on the massage chair, I assumed they were broken. Overall, not the best experience. read more

Waste of money!!! Requested Shellac but not sure what I received, it started cracking within a few days. The nail salon I went to for repairs was really stunned and confused. I think they use knock off products. read more

I think Mai does a great job on my Nails every time I go. She is very nice and proficient. I moved here a year ago, I tried 3 different places and found she was the best. Very convenient for the Coal Harbour area. They last long too. read more

Very disappointing. I won't ever be coming back. I went here with 3 friends. They got a good experience because they each had someone who was working on their hands and feet the whole time we were there. My lady on the other hand helped 4 other clients in the meantime. She just rushed, let me wait and had a very unpleasant demeanour towards me and her staff. I felt like I only got 1/4th of the service that I paid for. read more

Great service, good prices! I've been there quite few times with injured nails from training or ingrown toenails and always was provided very professional and great service. read more

When they asked me how many times I've been there and they realized it is my first time, they charged me full manicure price for a gel removal. When I asked for their price list, they said we do not have it. This is an act of deceiving new customers. read more

They were dead when I went and now I know why. They totally destroyed my nails by using a hard gel instead of the shellac I requested. Now my nails are so weak they painfully bend at the slightest touch. Not only that but the guy there has no idea how to cut nails in a straight line. Mine were all severely crooked even after I tried to have him correct them. Ended up having to file them myself after leaving. read more

Really disappointed with this place and definitely not comping back. I have requested Shellac and my nails cracked in a next hour....Its ridiculous, I walked back and she redone but still it didn't last even a week...:( Waste of time and money, I have payed 70$....!!!! read more

Great location. Mediocre service. I tried to get shellac cured with LED light, instead of a UV lamp. The salon only had UV lamps. Also, the application wasn't even. Although this place is close to my office and would be convenient, it just doesn't stack up. read more

Absolutely appalling. I was given a gift certificate here and ended up going twice to spend it. I will never go back. Shallac manicures are supposed to last two-three weeks, not two-three days. First time: the manicurist stood up to do the manicure (shallac), was rough, and clearly in a rush. The polish wasn't applied evenly and started to peel and flake within two days. Second time wasn't much better (although she did sit to do the manicure). A ridiculous amount of money to spend for a manicure that was unpleasant to get and only lasted a handful of days. read more

I have been a regular customer here for 8 years (since it was in the Sinclair Centre) Mai is the fastest and best applier of acrylic nails in the city. If you hate sitting for 90 minutes to get your nails done, this is the place to go - truly awesome for lunchtime manicures. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. I got a manicure here and got a horrible nail infection. The doctor said it's nail fungus...i'm so disgusted! I don't want to take the meds because it can cause liver damage so i'm treating it with Tea Tree Oil.... what an unnessary hassel :( read more

Absolutely terrible. Pedicure was done by a lady and that was fine but a guy took to doing my hand nails. He was very rough and rude as well as he filed them down from being long and beautiful, against my instructions. His gel polish application was abismal with big gaps at the bottom of my nails that I noticed later. When I went to pay the lady said I owed $78 instead of $45 as on the sign because she conned me into choosing a gel polish and never said anything about it being more expensive an extra $30 for gel is outrageous. Sadly this was a gift from co-workers but definitely wasn't the highlight of my vacation. read more
