I love these ladies and have been going here without fail for 5 years. I have never had a bad experience!! Trina is my girl and she's amazing. They also go above and beyond when my daughter is with me. The prices are also super reasonable. The ratings on here don't reflect the experience. read more

I've been getting my nails done here for 10 years, I've never noticed the rating before until today so I am making this post because I was SHOCKED. Exquisite Nails & Spa should genuinely have a 5/5 rating. The end. I've been to many different nail spas and exquisite takes the cake everytime. The end. It's affordable my nails never break and I am ROUGH always working, cleaning etc. They do not chip! The quality of designs is incredible! The patience of the staff is amazing! I've had short to long nails over the years from exquisite, they all last My boyfriend literally lives directly next to a nail salon, 10 second walk and I'll ignore it and still come to Exquisite! If I'm going to spend $ on a new set or fill, in this economy, I am going someplace where there's no question on quality and that is here. read more

Obsessed with my nails! These ladies take such good care of you when you're in the salon. I'm quite picky and they did an incredible job! I will definitely be back. read more

Avoid the older lady that's been "working there for 100 years" at all cost. I've been having my nails done for 15 years and I've never walked out of an appt until today. I was nearly in tears. Instead of filing off lifted areas she was ripping them up and snapping them off with cuticle cutters. I've never felt pain like that in my life. She burned me multiple times with the drill, tried shoving a tip under a broken nail to lift it off instead of filing it down.... Her licence should be revoked. read more

The nail technician was experienced but had no personality and did not smile, look up, or thank me for a $12 tip. I guess she wanted more. I will not go back. read more

Thank you, nail gods! YYC can finally compete in this beauty realm. I heard about this nail salon from a Yelper-- she raved about the service at Exquisite Nails & Spa and is a regular there. I have to say my bar was set pretty high by salons in Toronto and New York but upon reassurance from Yelp, I booked my appointment, got my nails done and was super thrilled! Like, I almost "hugged all the nail technicians at the salon" kinda thrilled! Exquisite Nails has the friendliest staff-- they're attentive, welcoming and knowledgeable about the trends. I came prepared with photos, diagrams and samples and I didn't even have to break them out-- they knew exactly what I was talking about and were a step ahead of me: offering designs or gem work without any additional costs. This is almost unheard of in the nail-world! Tracey and Natalie did mine and my sister's nails. Tracey is the sweetest. She talked to me throughout my entire salon and greeted many clients by their first name. A signal to me, that people like their honest and amazing service. Speaking of honesty, when I booked my appointment over the phone, I was told that it was $55 for a new set (solar or regular acrylic) with two nail designs (as long as it wasn't too complicated) and guess what? THAT'S WHAT I PAID. I will definitely be back! And I will spread the word about this awesome salon. I'm such a fan! read more

Very friendly service! We did a couples pedicure. They have a nice little private room. Massage chairs and we each had a practitioner. They did a very thorough job on us both and were very friendly. The front girl not as much but I think it was a language thing. $48 for a pedicure and my gf brought her own polish although I think its included. Nice foot massage too. read more

I get my nails done in Okotoks, but when I visit my mom we usually get our nails done together. I've come here time and time again thinking I've gotten bad luck or am asking for too much. I've gotten an ombré and I can't express how badly done they were. So uneven and the gel went over my cuticle so by the next day every nail was catching on my hair ect. Then today, I came in to get a French tip and she made my nails SO short she couldn't even shape them properly or anything. All the white is smudged and not clean at all. My nails look horrendous. I told the front desk lady and said to make them shorter? Makes no sense. Also every time I come in they are very thick. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

So unbelievably overpriced for what you get. I went today for the first time and got JUST shellac. That is all I ever get no matter where I go. It was $33 for A SHELLAC POLISH CHANGE. That is so unbelievably over priced without a manicure. The only time I've ever seen a price like that for just shellac was at a high end hotel spa. I strayed away from my usual place to get my nails done with a friend and let me tell you, lesson learned. I've been getting shellac in this city for years and never seen prices like that. And you know what? They did a bad job too. My nail shape is completely crooked and really rough around the edges, and there's shellac all over my skin. I have to go home and re-file all of my nails now. I'm actually really upset over how much of a rip off that just was HA! Yelp does not allow me to write specific business recommendations on reviews but do yourself a favour and go elsewhere if you are looking to get what I just had done. Update: the shellac didn't even last a week. read more

Love this place. First time going in today to get my nails done and Tracy was AMAZING. In love with my nails, so happy with them and it's very well priced! I also loved how clean the salon was!! Definitely only ever coming here to get my nails done from now on! read more

I highly recommend Exquisite Nails. The staff are fantastic. I am always so happy with my nail appointment. Perfectly done.

I have been getting pedicures here for about 7 years now, and they are the best! I really appreciate the long and thorough foot massages and the "foot sanding" they do instead of slicing off callouses. This place is the best. read more

Very disappointed in quality of nails all around! I went in for an appointment a week ago and paid $78 for nails that looked like they were done by a beginner, I asked for a ombré of pastel on 2 fingers and they were not blended what so ever, sloppy paint and shape job,bumpy beyond belief, I went back a few hours later to get them fixed and I ended up settling with just white and I was still charged for design and most problems were not fixed! Also, 6 days later a nail snapped off and for $80 I expect more than this! read more

I'm such a sucker for a decent mani and pedi, but in my experience there are two types of nail joints in Calgary: Cheaper (but lesser quality) Nail-only places and really expensive spas. Exquisite Nails and Spa offers all the attention to quality of the latter with the price of the former. I love the combination. I definitely advise making an appointment a few days in advance. They do accept walk-ins, but available space is few and far between. My one beef (and star knock off) is that even when you schedule two appointments for the same time, there is no guarantee that you will start together. This is a major bummer for me because I like to use nails as girl bonding time. But each nail specialist will take as long as she needs to make sure your manicure or pedicure is perfect. Because of this, you can expect to spend a decent chunk of time in-store, so don't schedule things too close! Every manicure and pedicure I've had here has been flawless. The spa pedicure is wonderfully relaxing. You sit back in the massage chair and let them go to work. They are so thorough it is almost scary, and you can see them sanitize all of their tools in that microwave thing that kills germs. It is such a major plus to see all of the tools sanitized. Manicures are thorough - you get cleaned and massaged and then they go to work on your cuticles. The process does take quite a bit of time, and then finally they paint on your nail colour and you put your nails under the UV light. They won't let you leave until they are sure your nails are dry, because they don't want to waste all that time they just put into the upkeep of your tootsies. I love this place. read more

The quality of a high-priced spa without the high prices. Excellent foot and calf massages. Close to my house. Only complaint is that sometimes you have to wait, even if you have an appointment. I'm a fan. read more

The lady that did my nails was so sweet and gave the greatest hand and arm massage but I was hoping to get CND shellac and she said they didn't have any although I'm sure they did. It's a week later and my nails are chipped, I've never had that happen ever, I'm not hard on my nails. The WORST thing was the filing and cuticle trim! A week on, half my nails feel ingrown and my hands are in so much pain! Now I know why nail-bed torture is thing (horrible comparison but I understand now). Each day the pain has been worse. Thank god I was on vacation because when I went back to work yesterday I could barely type or use a pen. I wanted to like my manicure so much because the lady was so sweet but the chipped shellac and the pain means I won't be back :( read more

I have to update my review to 5 stars! this is my favourite nail salon in the world. everyone is so nice! always clean! and they're always up to date on the nail trends if you want something a little fun. love them! read more

Exquisite Nails & Spa - these are 3 weeks old, in desperate need of a fill & colour change! but just an example of how fun Tracey is! - Nail Salons Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Asked to have my cuticles cut multiple times, she insisted I did not need it. Then left glue all over my hands. Would not recommend. By far one of the worst nail salons I've been to. read more

I keep coming back to this salon...but always disappointed. I have tried shellac and regular polish and without fail - always chips and smudges within a day or two. I am tired of having to keep going back and begging them to fix it. So disappointing read more

I recently visited Exquisite Nails for the first time to remove gel nails. I always dread this because it hurts and is a generally unpleasant experience. However, I was pleasantly surprised that my nail artist (Trina) did such a good job at comfortably filing down the nails to smoothness. She was pleasant yet quiet, so focused and dedicated to the task. The manicure looked great and lasted for almost a full week. The salon appeared to be quite clean and modern as well. Overall a positive experience. read more

My nail tech was awesome, when my pedicure wasn't the polish job she jumped in and saved the day. I would have rather not gotten gel on my feet but unfortunately the color I wanted wasn't a match with the polish for my toes. All in all it was an good job! The place is clean and comfortable read more

solid 3.5 stars, didn't flinch to see a guy walk in 8pm on a Sat nite lol. Forgot my filer, so thanks to yelpers here, I overpaid for something I could've gotten at a dollar store. But it seems to be better quality, rougher as well as not easy to bend ;) $3.15. Clean place, nothing fancy, about 3 girls getting their nails done, surprise, surprise. credit cards ok. asked about men's facial, with extraction, $70, seems to be the going rate. read more

Best pedi I've had in a long time. Lovely staff! Highly suggest this little studio. Tentative and friendly. Price is right as well. read more

TERIBLE JOB, very unsanitary, very rude. Lady ruined my nailed and when I complained she left the table and my nails were half done. So rude. They don't sanitize their drills. PLEASE DO NOT GO. I made a complain to Alberta Health. read more

I tried this place out because of people I know go there. The Salon was nice but I don't think the mani/pedi was work the $100.00. For the mani, I was charged extra of cuticle trim and wasn't aware that it was an extra charge. The girl who did my mani was really nice and we had a good chat. I went a week ago tho and my shellac is already pealing. My pedi was so so, no real complaints but have has better elsewhere. I was hoping for great things but I'm better off going to my usual place. read more

Best pedicure I've ever had! They treated me so well and the place was really quiet for a relaxing treatment. Lovely hour spent there!

This place is not good at all! I had to come twice to never be helped. I came the first time, and they took 30 mins to see me. In which I couldn't wait as I had to pick up my children. So I set a time in the evening, my friend came along and she was helped first. They took another 30 mins to ask me if I wanted to pick a colour. You set an appointment and then they don't get to you for 30 mins! That's crazy! I would never recommend this place. Just awful! read more

I decided to give this place a try when my nail salon was caught in a fire, and I'm so glad I did! The staff are always super friendly and they seem too be very experienced in nail art. I also love how when they repair a nail, they don't add on a new one, they just shape one instead with acrylic powder instead. I've found this to be much more durable, even though I was skeptical at first. I love this place! read more

I've had pedicures at this place and they have always done a good job. The technician is very thorough and the polish always lasts quite a while. The only downside is you sometimes have to wait, even if you have an appointment. This place gets very busy so book in advance. read more

These ladies know what they are doing. I have got a set of gel nails, shellac and pedicures done and they really are A1! I have never felt rushed and they always do a great job. The polish with a pedicure lasts ages and shellac can last for more than 2 weeks if you are careful. They are slightly more expensive than other places outside the city but well worth it! I always book an appointment to ensure I get seen. Every time I have been there its busy! read more

I've had great service here. I like going first thing in the mornings because it's quieter and you can actually relax without the rush. My appointments have always started on time and they do a very thorough job with proper sanitizing. read more

Amazing salon, great staff, great nails! Natalie has consistently provided my nails with the perfect amount of slay-age to make me happy! Recommended for sure! read more

I went there a month ago for a refill ... i showed a picture to my nail technician (Tracy) she said it was very easy to do so i was happy and was looking forward to my new set of nails. It looked nothing like the picture, the nails were so thick and wide (they looked like the 100 layers of polish on them) i went back the next day for her to fix them, i reshowed her the picture and still never got close to what i asked, very disappointed in the quality of work. Maggie read more

Wow!! I was so impressed with this place. I got a gel mani and regular pedi. I was probably here for 1.5 hours enjoying great service, some chatting, the longest foot massage (thank you Trish!) and hand massage. I could not ask for better quality or service. And the price was much less than I would have expected to pay! read more

The ambience is lovely; great for a ladies day out! More expensive than your average nail place, but they have a crazy selection of polish & shellac, and very experienced technicians. read more

My wife went here after having bad luck elsewhere. I think this was worse. They were blunt and not friendly. For a manu-pedi it was $90! And the polish was coming off in less than a week. On top of that they allow large dogs to run around inside. read more

Loved this place until some random girl did my pedicure. Never had an issue before and now I have had to see doctor's etc. . she razored way to much skin off and my heel cracked so widely open my doctor wanted to put it stitches the next day but because of where it was choose not to because I have a very very active job. I love my nail tech to death but I fortunately will never get a pedi there again...so sad read more

I have given this place so many tries to see if any new acrylic set will actually last, but after one week of growth, I can pop them off like glue on drug-store nails. I want to give this place a good review because the staff are nice and always try to do their best. I just can't justify going back for another $65 set when I know they are going to be popped off in a week. The only reason why this place gets two stars is that the staff are super nice and they are capable of doing some gorgeous designs. read more

Usually I love this salon, but I got the worst pedicure yesterday. The shellac has already come off my big toe, my cuticles hurt from her scraping the polish off as she painted. She almost forgot a top coat, so shaky....so disappointing. They are in the middle of a renovation and there is dust everywhere. Not enjoyable. read more
