I now have added an occasional manicure and every staff person has done a beautiful job. Pedicures are a must for me, the manicure is a lovely treat.

Lavinia is so accommodating and lovely...easy to talk to and makes you feel like a VIP guest. She takes her time and has a nice selection of nail colors. I will definitely book again when I'm in town. Be sure to book your next nail appointment with Lavinia! 10 stars hands (and feet) down!!

Having just moved back to the city, I wanted to find a 5 star manicurist who is at least semi close…read moreto my place. And, instead of just defaulting to a nail salon I've frequented in the past, I wanted to find someone that takes special care & does a detailed, thorough job. Aka...more artisan & less assembly line. So, I went to Yelp. Obvs. I go to yelp for everything. And, I found a 5 star nail artisan. There is zero hype where Lavinia is concerned. She's a gem through & through. From the Air Force, to sales, to beginning her nail career at Elizabeth Arden, where she garnered many of her longtime clients...she finally opened her own salon 34 years ago. 34 years ago. When I say her own salon, I mean her own salon. She is owner & employee. This is a nail salon for one. One table, one tech. Many shelves. Countless color options; most are from Chanel. No acrylics OR gel. This is old school, healthy, & classic. When you enter, there's a small "coat room," and then you walk into the "salon." It's a warm & even homey space. Framed artsy black & white photos intermix w photos of her family. It's quiet, comfortable, & comforting. She offered me a cup of coffee, which I really needed. And, it was a good cup of coffee! Then it happened. She proceeded to give me the most detailed mani & pedi that I've ever had. Case in point? It was 2 hours. 2 hours for a "regular" mani & pedi. Even more, she's engaging. Like to hell & back. We covered the homeless, loveable but not-so-likable family members, the best carnitas in the bay, & how "women only need a red lip, short red nail, & a pair of great sunglasses." (Coco Chanel lived it, Paloma Picasso said it, & Jackie O followed it). There were also some local politics, & Jesus was mixed in there, too. We mused. We laughed. But despite the convo, Lavinia never lost focus from the job at hand. She's as thorough & professional AF. Basically, I left feeling like I just had a visit w an old friend. A friend, incidentally, who does manicures for professional photo shoots, too. The next time you're rifling through a magazine/newspaper supplement/catalog, & you see a hand modeling a ring, or a flute of champagne... Those nails could have been done by Lavinia. 6 stars if I could.

I never feel rushed and her studio is quiet with a sense of peace. I get gel polish on my natural nails, and after 6 weeks I was still getting compliments. The studio is conveniently located on Bay Street with ample parking and lots of shopping and places to eat to have a full day of pampering and self care.

I wish I would have found Mani sooner than I did because I have nothing but great things to say…read moreabout her. She is very professional and the girl is goodt (yes with the T for emphasis!). I can show her ANY design and she always makes it even better than I had imagined. She's thorough and very knowledgeable about nail care to ensure my real nails still thrive under the acrylics and her pedicures are super relaxing. She's also in a private suite so you don't have to worry about other people being in an appointment with you which was an added bonus for me.
