This is a great nail salon and I would definitely come back. It's clean, well managed and has fair prices. I called to make an appointment and the gentleman on the phone was very nice and he quoted prices for me and did not rush me off the line. When I got to the salon, they were ready for my mani/pedi and honoured my appointment request. The pedi tub is lined with a fresh plastic liner for every use...very hygienic! I enjoyed the fact they also have a couple of tvs and they were showing episodes of 'Modern Family' during my nail treatment. There were two girls working on me- the pedi was amazing. The only negative was the manicurist- she did a sloppy job with the second nail coat. The second coat did not cover the first or go to the base of my cuticles so I was disappointed when I noticed that. The gentleman helped me put my sandals on and escorted me to the drying station; he was very professional and polite. I would recommend trying out this nail salon and just be vocal if you notice any short cuts or rush jobs on nail painting! read more

Just left there. The owner is rude. Does over charge. Loves to argue. I told her to keep her voice down. That what I paid before for the same service is what not she's charging me. The place is dirty. Had to tell them to clean off the chairs and arm rest. So many flies in there. I suspect from the glass at the sink with a spoon and some leftover drink and their nasty garbage can. Was not putting my foot on that. Had my pedi done three times to fix the same jagged bad nail polish job. Told her I would go home and file it myself. To think she was asking me what do I think. Each time I told her fix it. One should never have to ask. She has eyes to see it's not right. Also, I told the nail technician to not clip away my cuticles. She did anyway and now the pointer is sore and they look awful. She tells me to use oil at night. Which I do anyway when I had cuticles. I should of just been firm with her. But that's not me. I still can't believe her response, the Owner, when I told her as I was waiting while my nail dried that s senior was at the door. She say, I know as she proceeded to argue with one of her technicians. Left her standing there for another technician to greet her. The owner is extremely rude very unprofessional. Her staff although pleasant. Needs training. My first visit was the reason I came back. Mia I believe her name is was wonderful. Unfortunately I won't be back. read more

I've been looking for a place in my area that's clean, affordable, and friendly and THIS IS IT! I called to book a shellac polish change and got an appointment right away. The salon is close to the Bayview subway station or Sheppard bus stop. I was greeted right away and the staff began the removal process. I explained that the other place did a bad job and a few of my nails broke as a result. At Lux they checked my nail health, evened out the lengths and took good care and patience to getting my nails ready for an important photoshoot I have coming up. And to top it off the price was exceptional! Definitely coming back! read more

Today was my first time visiting Lux Nail Bar. What an amazing experience! Place looks nice and clean, staff are friendly and energetic, sits are comfy and the service was great too. My bio gel shellac french manicure looks fantastic! Pedicure was also nice with a bit of foot massage. I've been going to another nail salon for the past 4 years and never been treated with such care! I think I found my new nail place. HELEN, thank you for taking such good care of me! read more

Pedicure was nicely done but the lady who did my manicure was a bit sloppy because she got nail polish on my finger tip and around the cuticle. I didn't notice this until I got home because I just trusted their expertise. The worst part however is that I got a rash on my forearms and hands from the lotion they used afterwards. I had to take antihistamines to help calm the reaction but it didn't work very well. This is the worst reaction I have ever had to a lotion. They should pay more for something that is not as toxic. read more

Recently moved to North York and surrounded by nail salons. But it is thanks to the reviews of fellow Yelpers (and a disastrous experience at a Bathurst St nail salon) that got me to walk through the doors of Lux. It's a small place but it's popular. And with good reason. Tony is very friendly and is well organized. He remembered I had emailed to book an appointment and I was seated after a five-minute wait. The previous nail salon used regular polish on a gel mani (don't ask) much to the surprise of my manicurist. I needed a gel colour change and a regular pedicure. Both nail technicians were friendly, helpful and meticulous. They work quickly. Tony even helped me with my flip flops! I left feeling great about the mani and pedi I received. The salon is bright, very clean and cosy. They had two flat screens playing one of my favourite movies (Horrible Bosses - I know. Guilty pleasure! Good to have entertainment while being attended to.) I'm glad I found a nail salon that is within my vicinity and also values their clients. I'm looking forward to bringing my friends to experience the great service at Lux. Thanks, Tony! read more

Lux Nail Bar - Busy Friday afternoon. - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This the best nail salon in the North York area for a manicure/pedicure. The service and care is just amazing and the owner of the restaurant is always friendly and accommodating to all the customers. Every time I come here they are always busy no matter what day of the week so make sure you book an appointment. Weekends are usually busy so try to book in the mornings. Pedicure is $25 or $35 for both mani/pedi. Bring cash so you can save on the tax. Absolutely love this place and will definitely refer friends to come here. read more

Booked an appointment at 1:15pm on a Saturday. Came exactly at that time and they seated me. I waited for another 10 minutes to have a lady start my manicure. It's pretty packed on a Saturday afternoon. I was then. The lady that did me didn't talk much to me which was kinda what I liked. They have a tv hanging in the middle of the wall and I was watching Big Bang theory the entire time. They finished my manicure in no time and they were able to do my nail design as I asked. All you need to do is show them a picture of how you want it. I'm very satisfied with this manicure because they really clean your nails and paint on them to perfection. This is my second time here and probably going to be my go to place for a mani or pedi. read more

Lux Nail Bar - Shellac nail manicure with design for $35 - Nail Salons Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here to have my brows threaded. I'd never done it before so was unsure about how painful it is, how long it takes, and such. This place had good Yelp reviews and very reasonable prices, and was in a relatively convenient location so I figured it was worth a shot. They were very flexible with appointment times, which was a plus. The threading itself was more uncomfortable than I expected, but I'm chalking that up to me being unfamiliar with the technique. What I will say, and the reason for the 5 stars, is that the technician was competent, professional, and quick. I didn't even have to explain what I was looking for, she just. Knew. And I've been getting compliments on my "natural brow shape" since. I'd come back, although I might do waxing next time. read more

I started coming here about 2 years ago, based on a Yelp review and I'm not sorry I did. I highly recommend Katie but she is only there during the week, for shellac manis. She's always been the best I find. It is always busy so calling ahead to book is a must (I don't think they do walk ins). It's been newly renovated and everyone works hard to get you what you need. Tony remembers everyone by name, and when he isn't in his mom is and she's just as much of a delight. Bring cash or credit & sit back and enjoy some Netflix. I have nothing bad to say about this place. read more

Absolutely best nail salon in the neighbourhood. Technicians are skilled, through, and give excellent colour recommendations. They have a vast array of new colours to choose from and Tony is super helpful booking appointments and accommodating the needs of clients (wifi passwords, etc.). I always regret going anywhere else. read more

I never write reviews, but this place deserves one! Very nice and clean place, also very friendly. I did have to wait about 15 minutes after schedule but it was definitely worth it. The girl I got, Mary, was so nice and gentle with my nails, I'm definitely getting her again:) She did exactly what I asked for and even gave me a free bead! My friend went with me and for a manicure and also was thoroughly impressed with the outcome from her girl. I got a bio sculpture gel manicure with extensions and 100% recommend it! read more

I created Yelp just to search for restaurants and writing reviews is not my thing but i just had to rate and rant about how awesome this nail bar is. Last time me and friend walked in but they were so busy so i can only thread my brows. The lady who did my brows was very gentle and careful unlike most place that i have been which is a little rough on me. My brows were perfect just like how i wanted. The second time, despite the fact that the owner/manager has told me that its better to book an appointment before coming, i would not still do it because i thought Monday morning wouldn't be too busy and guess what, they are all booked. However, the guy was trying his best to accompany both of us, he was rearrange appointments to make sure he fit us on spot and voila, he made it. During the time, the women who did our nails were, again, very nice and gentle. We felt so bad for making it such a hard time for the people there trying to accompany us walking in but they did an amazing job. Hence, calling to book an appointment is highly highly recommended. I think the competitive advantage of a nail bar is really about the "above and beyond" service because there are plenty of skillful nail technicians in toronto read more

Had a wonderful time this afternoon with my friend at Lux. It's a perfect place for two ladies to get pampered and caught up! We did pedi and mani, the ladies were so sweet, so efficient and so professional. We are extremely happy of a job well done! Love the choices of colours as well. Go to lux! Don't forget there's also a 10% off for waxing and they recognize it! read more

Very disappointing came here with my daughter to have a relaxing time anything but started with rushing us to pick colors . Place is not very clean. Half the staff barely speak English . Cut our feet both of us, cut nails pass beds , messy paint job. Then charged us 80.00 for that pleasure , thought we try it as it had some good reviews and was cheaper but rather pay the extra and get it done right and without our feet looking worse leaving then when we came in read more

I was looking for a nail salon to get my nails done. I looked on Yelp for salons near my area and Lux Nails Bar was on the list. I looked at reviews and decided to give it a try. I booked an appointment 3 days in advance for my friend and I for and they were able to accommodate us. I got a shellac manicure while my friend got a pedicure. We were both very happy with the service. It's a small but nice salon. They had a huge variety of colours to choose from. The lady doing my nails was quick and did a great job. It's been 3 weeks and I still get compliments on them and barely have chips or scratches. Also they were playing a movie on the TV which was a good distraction while getting your nails done. Another thing is if you pay cash they won't charge taxes. I definitely recommend this salon! read more

Great service, highly competent and excellent attention to detail. I went to Lux because I saw the great reviews and I was not disappointed. We booked an appointment same day for 2 mani pedis at 5 pm. We were greeted immediately by name and were shown to our seats and chose our colours. They have a great selection of colours in both regular and shellac. I'm so glad we went here I will definitely be a returning customer read more

This place has the worst customer service I've ever experienced in a nail salon. I usually ask for Mary, she is wonderful and does a great job. She was not there today so I decided to try my luck and ask for someone new. It was the worst decision ever. I went in for a polish change. It was awful. My nails were so thick and chunky and had divots in them. I tipped 5 dollars and left. I felt embarrassed to say anything at the time because I didn't want to insult her. So I called an hour later when I got home and asked if I could come back another day and get them fixed. They told me to come back today. The first thing that happens when I walk in is Tony asks to see the issue with my nails. First of all, if I'm upset with my nails, you don't need to see the issue, because you're not paying for them. If I don't like the service, it should be fixed regardless of your opinion. Whatever. I let that go. I sit down, and he gives me the SAME woman who JUST did a bad job. I decided to let that slide as well. At that point my nails had taken so much that I knew they'd need more than a polish change, and would need a full manicure after having to be removed twice in the same day. I asked if it was alright If I had a manicure as well. The woman gets frustrated with me, and storms off. Im confused at this point because I'm asking to pay for more? So why would you be angry. Whatever. Another woman sits down to do my nails. I look behind me and there is the woman who did the bad job initially and she is sitting in a pedicure chair with 3 other woman who work there making fun of me and laughing. I let that slide too. So I get my nails redone, the woman did a good job, much better than the original woman. So I go to the front to pay. A polish change is 20 dollars and a manicure is 30. So I go up to the front and try to give the ten dollar difference. He then tells me its 15 dollars because I got shellac removed and that costs 5 dollars....at this point I'm actually laughing because of this awful experience. I explain I only have 10 dollars cash. He goes "we can put the rest on Visa". So I said fine. The visa machine comes up 5.65. I said why is it 5.65 not 5 dollars? He said I also have to pay tax because I'm no longer paying cash. The nerve he had after I literally had to drive all the way back there AND waste a whole afternoon for this garbage. The manicure should have been free if he knew anything about customer service. So I tap my Visa and I leave. I went to this place 8-10 times. I had brought 2 friends multiple times, as well as my sister and two cousins, who then started to go every two-three weeks and get gel nails. That is 6 people in total who will NEVER be back to your nail salon. So I hope that extra 5.65 was worth it for you. Hope your place closes down. Id like to also throw in that their nail equipment is often dirty too. read more

I don't understand the hype of this place. I got my Mani & padi done with my friend. My shellac was so bad that I had to go other nail salon 3 days later. Pedi was okay though. The worst part is my friend got infection from Pedi so she had to be on med for a month. Unacceptable. I'm giving 2 stars instead of one because staffs were really nice. But seriously won't go back there. read more

I did Brazilian waxing but they didn't wear gloves and room was so small and dirty! Even result was not good!! Fur was a little bit left. I don't wanna go there again read more

I visited this salon a couple of days ago. I got a gel polish change which is $15.00. Most salons when you come in for a gel polish change they just remove the old gel polish and apply the new one. At Lux they not only remove the old gel polish, but they also shape and file the nail before applying the new one. There was a minor issue with the gel polish application and Tina fixed it right away. I would give this 6/5 stars if I could because Lux Nail Bar is clean, they have a lot of gel polishes to chose from (250) and they are so nice. If you are looking for a nice spot to get your nails done at that will exceed your expectation I suggest going here. read more

Guy charged me 5 extra dollars because my nails were long. This is not advertised anywhere on his website or on the price list. Didn't tell me until after my nails were done. When I said I've never heard that before, he said oh, the price of shellac has gone up bc of the exchange rate and all this other garbage. My nails are not long enough to have costed him 5 extra dollars in shellac. I didn't tip based on this. Sucks bc the girl who did my nails was nice, so he cost her the tip. I have never ever been charged more money because my nails were long. That is absolutely ridiculous and such a scam. Don't go here if your nails are long. read more

I'm in love with this place! It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but all the staff are warm, friendly, and on top of things! Prices are great and service is consistent. Although it's a little far from me, this has become my new regular spot. read more

What terrible customer service, never coming back here again! I went for a wax and when they did it, it ripped part of my skin off which made me bleed a lot. They gave me a small refund but I shouldn't have had to pay for that especially when they couldn't even finish it, are you kidding me. Don't bother coming here, there are much better places. read more

So far I have only gone once but based on my first experience I would certainly go back. I had a deluxe pedicure and regular manicure and six days later my polish is still beautiful. I was impressed on my first visit. It's a new store so it's very clean. They have friendly staff and the cost is average. They had a promotion for their first month open which made the cost even better, just wondering if they will have similar promotions in their future. Because they are a new store, their massage chairs are also new (do not look over-used like some other places). I really liked the service and the staff. I find most nail salon staff generally grunt in your general direction and do not understand proper customer service, but this place everyone I met (four people in total) were all very nice, friendly, and very key... they smiled and laughed. When I first walked in I was greeted with a warm, friendly, genuine 'hello!' and smiles. The only reason I gave a 4-star rating is because I've only gone once. What will make it a 5-star rating is if they keep me coming back by keeping up with their [so far] excellent customer service skills and cleanliness and obviously it doesn't get expensive. :) If they keep up the same service level as they did on my first visit, I will be sure to give a higher rating and my loyalty to their business. (The fact that they are located minutes from my home just makes the whole package even better, lol, which BTW parking is free and their store is easily accessible). Thanks for a great mani/pedi and customer service. Keep up the good work! read more

I really enjoyed my shellac nail manicure service at Lux. The receptionist was amazing and he really made the customers feel at home! For example, he was helping an elderly customer put on their jackets which shows the exceptional service. All their nail tools are fresh and cleaned for every client so you don't have to worry about they don't do a good job on cleaning the tools.They have a great shellac colour selection which I really appreciate. This place deserves to be packed on a Monday morning at 10am! read more

I have been trying to get an appointment here for a few weeks (attests to how popular they are!) Luckily they had a spot open up last minute last Thursday for a Bio-gel refill. It was insanely busy when I arrived, but Helen took me within 15 mins of arriving. I love her. I took every single suggestion she gave because I absolutely fell in love with my nails. Definitely going to ask for her next time. She's so meticulous and friendly. The staff are always professional and they are always willing to help. Really and truly the only downside is how CRAZY the salon gets. Just the sheer amount of people that love this place as much as I do is insane!! read more

Excellent service, staff very pleasant, and of course they do a great job on my nails! I always call to book a appointment the day of, and they have always been able to accommodate! read more

Always a great experience at Lux! I took my best friends here and also my mom. They were all impressed! Coming back for sure :)

This nail salon is the worst nail salon I've ever been to. First of all I called and booked and apt when I came the lady said no one is available and that I'd have to wait 20 minutes, I went and got food beside the salon and came back, after 40 minutes passed by finally someone started helping me, my nails done from my usual nail salon and they had diamonds and designs (nailfuel style) and I just wanted a regular refil and to take the diamonds off. The lady said for each finger that I have diamonds on i have to pay 5$ for her to take them off?? Now I've been getting my nails done for 6 years at high end , best nail salons in the gta and no one does that, when I asked for her reasoning she just said diamond are too hard to take off. I let that slide, continuing she charged me extra for my length that I already previously had mind you tjis was just a REFIL. Her shaping was horrible they look like fat Easter eggs, I asked her to do diamonds on my mail and she did the worst job and the entire time she tried to talk down on whoever previously did my nails meanwhile everyone at the nail salon was saying my nails were amazing. My diamond fell off after 3 days they look ratchet , fat and not the same shape. This nail salon is only good for like moms who need a basic manicure if you're looking for anything else this is not the right place. Way better salons in easy york Scarborough and Mississauga. I feel embarrassed to walk down the street with these ugly ass nails plus it took so long for her to do them. Do yourself a favour and don't go there. read more

My go to! Ti is the only one I trust to do my waxing and my eyebrow threading. They are all really great with mani pedi and shellac too, if you want. Really nice people that work there! Love it! Reasonable pricing for all services. They are very clean. They use individually packaged tools for each client and they don't double dip when waxing. Great service! read more

I have been looking for a place to do my waxing that was close to home, professional (clean and hygienic), and wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. Little did I know that this place would be my go-to from now on! Not only did they do a great job with waxing, they are absolutely SUPERB with both manicures and pedicures. They also make sure you're comfortable, almost like you're at home. Everyone is so kind, lots of stories to share and chit chat about :)! They also allow you to choose tv shows to watch...which is great considering you can't really go on your phone when you get your nails done! Price wise, I think they are very fair! Great service, big smiles! Waxing: Brows wise, they are really good, didn't see any little hairs. I left the lady who did my brows in charge and she did a great job of shaping them and grooming them to perfection again! :) Brazilian I had gotten done as well, very thorough; but would appreciate it if it was done faster...the room is kind of small which makes it hard to position properly. I think that it was also why I had some wax still left on me since it is hard to position in such a small room. My only complaint was when she did the areas on my face, such as around my lip area; she was rough and it was evident as when I went home I had two finger sized red patches on my face where the skin was hurt. Overall, very VERY good experience. She made sure I knew there was no double dipping. Although... I will not be doing anything on my face other than my brows next time. Manicure and Pedicure: AMAZING JOB. 110% AMAZING JOB. attention to detail, they also saw that I was wearing heels that may ruin my pedicure and so added a bit of oil to my toes so the polish wouldn't' be ruined! :) The massage chairs were extremely comfortable. Manicure wise, they shaped and buffed and made my nails look normal and not grotesque any more! Pedicure wise, my toes look like toes again!!! :') i think the best they've looked in a long time hahahaha. But seriously, all jokes aside, they are attentive and aren't abrasive and trying to scrub your feet off. The lady who did my pedicure did a fantastic polish job and made sure my feet were comfortable the whole time! I have absolutely 0 complaints, and too many compliments to give! OVERALL: if you have been looking for a great, clean, friendly place that can do it all...THIS IS IT. Can't wait to go back! read more

I have been to Lux nail bar a few times. The staff has always been extremely friendly, they squeezed me in last minute ths morning and had me out in time to get to work ( a quick 35 minutes!) The quality of their polish jobs are excellent and it shows by how busy they always are. Would definately recommend and if possible make an appointment as they tend to be very busy! read more

I decided to try this place because I was in the area and my usual nail place in Markham couldn't book me until 630pm. I walked in around 230 and to my surprise they were super busy! I think it was Tony that first greeted me and I asked if they could take me for a mani/pedi. Thankfully they were able to take me in after a short wait (?10 min). I had Cathy working on my nails and Katie working on my toes. They were super nice and both of them did a great job on my nails. They have a pretty good colour selection and the salon is clean - I noticed they change the plastic wraps in the foot bath which was really nice to see. Also the tools they used on my hands appeared to be sterilized which was really pleasant to see. I'm always skeptical about getting my nails done because of the cleanliness of the tools the techs used but this salon seems to be pretty good about that. I still prefer my usual nail place but I wouldn't hesitate to go to this salon again! Edit: On the same day I was cooking and one of my nails chipped! The next day I was putting on a zip up sweater and another nail chipped. A couple days after my nails started peeling. Deducting a star for this because I paid for shellac! At my usual place my nails can last 6 weeks. At that point I get them done just because of the grow up of my actual nail. read more

My new favourite nail spot! I rarely get my nails done but after months of chipping and breaking, I had to do something. I got an appointment on short notice and they were very welcoming when I arrived. They clarified any costs upfront (I got a gel overlay with shellac). Their rates were competitive, the location is easy to find, the decor is nice and they seem to keep the place clean and sanitized. The staff were friendly and took the time to make sure I was satisfied with the end result, offering suggestions on color and best practices to make it last. Really appreciated by a gel newb! read more

It was hot, busy and there is no place to really sit when you're waiting. They asked me to wait a minute to see if they could fit me in. Yes - my bad for not making an appointment. I sat there for 10 + minutes for a man to tell me my nails were fake. No they are not. Unless there's a nail fairy who does them for me every night. Then they told me they couldn't fit me in. Thanks for nothing! read more

Love this place! After searching for a good nail salon in the area, I finally found one! They really try to keep appointments on time. They are always efficient and I'm in and out quickly. The selection of shellac is great! Only thing I would mention is sometimes (depending who does your nails) the shellac starts peeling on the sides more quickly. Also, there is not a lot of parking so be prepared for that. Overall though, great salon!!! read more

I love love love this place. First off, unlike most nail salons, the decor is so modern and pretty. It's small but cozy. The prices are great. My first time there they greeted me like I was a regular customer, calling me by my name and asking me about my vacation (which I mentioned in passing when booking my appointment). I got waxed and I got a shellac manicure. Both of my technicians were friendly, attentive, and precise. They carry my favourite brand of gel polish, Bioseaweed Gel. I was extremely happy with my experience. read more

I went to Lux Nail Bar for the first time today and I was not disappointed. Cathy did my shellac pedicure and she did an amazing job. She was extremely thorough and respected the fact that I do not like to use a razor on my calluses. She spent a lot of time on carefully and meticulously smoothing the rough spots on my feet. My shellac application was also very well done. My manicure, by Mimmi, was also amazing. She did a careful and thorough job and polish application was even with no streaks or polish spots left on my skin. The salon is clean and modern. The staff is polite and I really like the fact that they listen to your requests with regard to how you prefer things to be done. I was able to book a same day appointment and my appointment started on time - something I really appreciate. For $55, I left extremely happy and I will definitely return. Great job!! read more

My first experience getting shellac! The guy at the desk was very informative, explained it all to me and offered some maintenance tips. Ti was kind and very careful. Loved the chick flicks! Not sure if the shellac mani will last 10-14 days as they said (I'm always washing stuff or picking up toys), but I was happy with the service so I will likely be back. A lady (who looked like a regular there) also chimed in on the advice. Very friendly vibe. read more
