Caught a nail fungus from this place -- first time ever, after getting pedicures for decades in Montreal, Toronto, and New York City. I think most salons fake their UV sanitation (UV is expensive; they're either using weak light or fake light); and this salon didn't seem to have the most sanitary practices. Seats aren't comfortable, no massage options. Cannot recommend.

I felt that it was a bit too cramped inside, no distancing as I was sitting side by side with a total stranger. The salon had a lot of customers when I walked in. My friend got a normal polish pedi and shellac mani. The pedi was good, no complaints. However the shellac mani was disappointing for both of us. I felt that the technicians cut off too much of the skin, immediately I felt the burn of alcohol on my skin. I understand not getting the polish on the skin or too close to the skin but viewing from above The sides of my nails were not painted properly. It looked quite bad. My friend felt the same and hers already chipped at the top of the nail after 2 days. All in all The technicians were very nice and it was good customer service but the experience was lack lustre.

Lots to offer at reasonable prices! Gel nails + extensions are $55! Jo was my nail tech and she did an amazing job - it was one of those fancier places that take care of your cuticles and give you a hand massage + hot towels after. They make sure each client is satisfied and happy! She spent a long time on my cuticles and never hurt me once, which doesn't happen a lot with my usual nail techs. She was patient even when I changed my nail colour a few times after the colour combo didn't turn out as I thought. She made sure I was happy with each step as she asked me if everything was okay every time she added a colour or layer. She also did an amazing job - she put the gel so close to the cuticles and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I think they can do subtle patterns and stuff too, but they have a large colour selection. Overall very comfortable salon, only 7 min away from my house is perfect. Their gel is thinly layered but very strong. I approve!

I visited on May 25th and wrote this that day but did not post it because I was torn as most of the…read moregirls were so kind and it was a less busy salon. I also wanted to go back and receive the paraffin treatment that I did not receive and paid for included in the $65 spa gel pedi package. It was promised to me upon leaving on the same date because the way the services were rendered was all over the place and with three different people after the "experienced" nail tech refused to do the spa part, like if it's below her or something and she refused to rub my feet specifically because I watched her do other people! She was acting weird with me from the very beginning and I was kind to everyone!! So she got one of the less experienced girls to do it, and instead Anita stepped in and did it. The owner, Anita said to come back in 4 weeks for it. Well I went back on Aug 3 and put in the notes that a complimentary paraffin treatment was supposed to happen from the last time. Mind you, through the app they set up a profile for me from last time (May 25th appt.) and when I went to rebook this month I noticed the pricing breakdown as $50 for pedi, $15 for spa, and the highest price $30! for nail art (double French or something like that) Okay, what I had asked for vs. what I got was only thin lines drawn on free hand by a thin brush with many colours across only three nails, one being my big toe on the right foot and the other two middle toes on the left, then all other nails were different colours cute summer colours including the trending turquoise. By no means were there intricate designs or even jewels put on but the price was bumped up to $95 for a pedi?!? The design was difficult for this particular tech I guess, as she tried to persuade me not to do it the second time I came while rolling her eyes and making funny faces like I was hassling her by asking questions. Of course I inquired about the bump in price, and she then agreed that I could pay the same price. Keep this in mind as you read...also the MANI-PEDIS W/ NAIL ART page of the website is totally cringe. I'm almost certain the nail tech wrote it *rolls eyes*. Needless to say I won't be back, they are an inexperienced salon (read about my experience in NY for comparison) if you like that, then go here! Anita is kind but has the ability to switch up on you depending on the nail tech attitude. I think she really runs the place...lol. Anyway, I digress. Enjoy the read below. It's long but please do take a deep dive if you have time. Trust me, it will help you decide. May 25th visit: Hhhmmm, so let me start with the positives. Most of the staff are very kind, except one who I could do without, then the rest tend to follow behind whatever she says even though you are treating everybody kindly. But hey, some people mistake kindness for weakness, especially when they are insecure about what they bring to the table. But hey, I did my best to keep my cool and not her back the same weird attitude she was giving me. This person, who I assume has a certificate from George Brown (so does the owner, hanging on the wall) is the nail tech and her nail art was just okay. I think she was more pleased with it than I was but if I send a message with a photo and ask if you can do something and the person in the other end replies "Yup, no problem", well that's what I'm thinking. Anyway, the girl that did my nail art was very unsure as to IF she could even do it. I asked if I could pick something else then but she said she'd try in this iffy way, it was weird. Honestly, it was subpar as well as her customer service. I mean if you're not going to talk to me I'm not talking. Like this is your job, not mine. She talked up the women she was doing before me and after, so that was a choice. Not sure what her problem is. Here's me trying to engage her by saying oh it looks nice. I ended up acting pleased because she had an attitude and seemed like she liked her subpar work more than I did. I just went with it, I didn't feel like being rude as it was my birthday. But when she ripped the toe nail splitter off my left foot, I had to give a slight warning and under my breath and I said "don't p*ss me off" so that she knew she should relax. PLUS she kept switching the curing machine abruptly from one foot to the other foot, but at times not turning it on. So ladies if you're not paying attention, then your gel nail polish is not getting cured properly and most likely won't last long for the money you pay. I also had to tell her that the machine was not on. She was just very abrupt at times and i don't like that! She was rude and passive aggressive, for what reason? I'm not sure. I probably should have given her less of a tip and the owner more since she was more attentive but I wasn't sure how they were going to split it. Enough with the cattiness, the owner and all other staff were very pleasant and I left a good tip. To be continued...

It's in the sketchy plaza across Markville and my sis warned me they're a bit aggressive and never on time for appointments. This was proven to be true as I waited 10-15 min- not too bad still. Christy is great, good with English and efficient. She did shave my cuticles by accident as she was shaving down the nail but only once or twice. They have lots of colours to choose from, powder or shellac or gel. Literally every cool nail thing you see on instagram, they have here - cat eye gel, holographic nails, chromes etc. She was super fast but good - gave me acrylics which ended up smooth but not super thick as most acrylics go. I prefer acrylics over gel because it's just stronger.. especially when you're dropping weights at the gym, ja feel? I've broken so many gel nails at the gym and I'm like ... y tho. These acrylics feel strong and durable AND they're affordable af. I paid $50 including tip. She also gives a nice little hand massage at the end, it's wonderful. I want to come back for a pedi!

Having found many top notch nail salons in the downtown Toronto area, I was crossing my fingers that this salon would meet the standard. Happy to report that it definitely raised the bar. I saw another Yelper's freehand french manicure / glitter ombre design and requested to have that done on my nails. Rebecca was a pro and took the time to make my nails and the design look perfect. The Shellac polish and design was painted just above my cuticle to maximize longevity of my nails. This is something that is hard to find at most of the nail salons that I have been to. The ladies here are all very skilled and take the time to understand your preferences. My nails ended up turning out great and I received a ton of compliments on them from my friends. The price was extremely reasonable. For such a intricate design (this took over an hour to slowly freehand) it was only $40 before tax and tip. I will definitely be back and recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for a great manicure at a great price!

Hi guys! I've decided to be a bit of a #beautyblogger. I've been having such a hard time finding a…read moregood nail salon and artist to do my Biogel manicure. I was looking for reviews online on google and here, and there is hardly anything available. So, I've decided to share my experiences here. Hopefully, they will be useful for someone. On Tuesday, I tried @ananekebeautysalon. I went there to get my Biogel manicure refill. They are in Yonge and Eglinton area. This place was recommended to me, and it had such good reviews on Yelp, and BlogTo. Plus, with a personal recommendation, I thought it was going to be my go-to nail salon. Maybe it's just my luck but this is not going to happen. I do not remember the name of my nail artist. Here is a list of things I didn't like. 1) She took forever to do my refill, literally over 1.5 hours. I don't do anything complicated on my hands. Usually, it's just a French manicure which I was getting this time. She kept messing up the white lines on top of the nails and redoing them. And then again. And again. And again. ‍ While I did appreciate the effort to get it right, this is the first time somebody had to redo several times half of my nails. By the end of it, I wasn't sure that the lady knew what she was doing. 2) The lady didn't file the edges of my nails properly. I didn't notice it in the salon, but I noticed it later that day when I was already on my way home. 3) She was doing such a bad job filing my nails and cut so much skin next to the nail bed on one of my fingers that it hurt for a few days. 4) On Friday, four days later, the white gel polish started chipping on several of my nails. This is ridiculous. This is biogel. It last forever and can survive alien invasion, nuclear war, and zombie apocalypse. This is the reason why I do it: biogel is the only thing that doesn't chip on my hands for three weeks. I don't know how this lady did it that it started chipping so early. Not a happy customer here. Sadly, after this experience I can not recommend this place to anybody. Please avoid it. ‍
