I was in Vancouver for four days and needed a manicure and went to Robson Nail and Spa. I had Cindy who was excellent. Very thorough and gentle with cuticles and fantastic massage. it's a 10 minute walk from the Westin Hotel. for a regular manicure, she was spent 45 min+. the price is very reasonable read more

Nice nail salon on Robson. I had booked an appointment for 5pm but still waited 15mn before someone took care of me. The salon is quite big. It seems like the place is always busy. The massage chairs for the pedicure are comfy with lots of settings to play with. Sofia did my pedicure and Cynthia did my manucure. I was happy with both. Very detailled work and attentive to what I asked for. The place is clean and service is efficient. read more

Great service and lovely shop. Enjoyed my nail fill and pedicure. We visited from the US

Unfriendly staff, not clean, and quality is lacking despite the price. Use to go here often enough and it was fine but my last visit was the final straw. The technician was rude and just trying to get me out of there. When I asked for a full gel set with extensions she sighed in my face which is crazy. I had to pick out 5 different shades of blue because none were in stock and every time she went to check she was noticeably annoyed. She stopped multiple times throughout the appointment to text her friend in front of me. I was there until closing time and despite her trying to force me out as quickly as possible, she proceeded to leave me at the table with unfinished nails and chat with her friends in the back of the salon and text with them. I would have been absolutely okay with her if she said there wasn't enough time to do what I was asking for, but the way it was handled was incredibly unprofessional. Do not go here read more

This place has really gone downhill. The girls that work here are rushing to finish so they can get back to gossiping with their friends. They didn't even shape my nails and only did one coat of polish. The nail polish were applied unevenly. When I said I need another coat of polish they told me I had to request in advance ??? Just close down already. read more

I am so happy with my experience at Robson Nail & Spa They did an amazing job with my pedicure and manicure. read more

First of all, the nails I got were amazing and by far the best I've had. Perfect shape and length. I had come here for an acrylic fill and I was seated right away. I saw on their website a fill was only $25 so that was why I chose to come here instead of my usual salon (also because it's closer). I wanted to get holographic ombré tips which isn't very complicated, and I saw on their Instagram they had done it before. I showed my technician a picture and she told me it would be $15 extra (kind of a rip off) What was good: - people are friendly and professional - place is clean - prices are cheap (adding onto this below) what was bad: - my technician was a bit rough on my nails, especially when she was using the mechanical pen to buzz off my previous acrylics. She cut my skin near my nails a couple of times (didn't bleed) but it hurt. - $25 fill + $15 extra for holo powder should equal $40. But I was charged $65 ! Probably added tip to it. But that's a $25 extra charge! Felt really ripped off and might as well have gone to my original salon. Even though my nails are great, I felt like they weren't being honest with their prices, which is something they should clarify up front. read more

I had my first pedicure in 16 months! The technician who cared fir my feet was very professional and didn't complain about how bad my feet were. She was kind and did a great job. read more

I got my first acrylic extension done in this place, I really like it, I never thought of doing fake nails, why I want to do it? Because my real nails always break after I kept doing shellac,it got weaker so I decided to try the extension. It looks 1.5 hours to do it but it's worth the time and price, because the girl did a really good job spending her time and do my nails. I did the manicure ,acrylic extension, then at last place the shellac. It's comes out really good and smooth as I seen it looks no difference, can't tell if it's fake or not because it's like my real nails. I love the color I chose dusty blue and dusty sparkle blue. It matches my bridesmaid dress which is the reason I need to get my nails done to prepare for my friend's wedding. I recommend this place!!! read more

I love this place and love the people. Been coming here for 5 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. In February I thought I lost my $609 watch.... I walked into the spa today for a mani pedi and guess what ? As soon as I walked in, they handed me my watch and told me I forgot it there 3 months earlier. How awesome is that ? Try getting that service at a salon in Surrey, !! 10/10, A+++++++++ these guys are the best :) read more

Ombré pink with gem. All staff was very kind, shape came out really nice. I wish the the ombré was more blended but overall beautiful job! read more

I came here on a Sunday morning in a rush to get my nails done before heading out of town. The lady who did my nails was very friendly and made sure I was well taken care of within time. Overall, I would recommend this spa to anyone wanting to get nails done quickly and with care and good quality. read more

Just went in for the first time and Dion was super nice. Pretty nude pink shellac set :) thanks!

I have been getting my nails done there for a few years and every time you go, you get a virtual stamp on your account. If you get something like 10 stamps you get a free pedicure. Last time I went I made sure to check how many visits I had and it said 6. I recently got a pedicure and after I paid I only had 4. I said I had 6 before and no response or attempt to fix it so, I think they are deleting visits. read more

I have given this nail salon at least a couple of tries, as it is so close to where I live, and it is always easy to book or walk-in. The salon itself is very typical of a Vietnamese nail salon, with the similar massage chairs, services, etc. I like how their prices are slightly cheaper than some of the other places in the area. Every time I go there, and I usually do a manicure and pedicure with shellac, it takes at least an hour and half to complete the service. Unlike other salons, they don't have technicians working on both hands and feet at the same time, and I always ended up having to wait at least half an hour more, without apologies or acknowledgement from the staff. I went to get a manicure and pedicure done on Sunday. I've called ahead and made sure I've booked in advance. My feet were getting done first and finished well before the technician start working on my hands. I ended up sitting with feet exposed (it was a bit chilly) and I was never told whether or not the polish have been dried. Overall, my manicure and pedicure took more than 90 mins!!! Also, when it came to massage, my technician doesn't seem very present and was distracted by other going ons- it was very much just rub some lotion on my arms for a few seconds and then went away. I'm giving this place two stars not just because of the slow service but also I find my nails chip more easily if they are done at this salon. The polish at other salon I usually go to in Yaletown last at least one week before any chip. If it wasn't for the convenience, I don't think I would go there. read more

May look clean but it may not be hygienic I booked an appointment 2 days in advance for a mani/pedi. Never got confirmation. I showed up and they seemed surprised to see me. I asked if they had my appointment they didn't answer. The person had 2 shopping bags in their hands and proceeded rinse out the foot bath and then fill it up. At this point I decided based on my first interactions with the employee and the foot bath was being rinsed not cleaned to leave. Nail spas are supposed to have very high level of cleanliness and show you that the items they are using (including foot baths) are clean. This place does not do this and maybe for a reason... ew! read more

Definitely not going back. Not only they're not good at what they're doing they rude and have bad attitudes. I had a very scary experience at this salon. Two person working on each of my hands and they had different styles. My left finger nails turned vay more shorter than the right ones and the shapes were very different. They treated me very bad after I complained about uneven finger nails. Then their manager came with bunch of other people working there and told me that it wasn't the salon's fault and I have "crooked nail and fingers". I DON'T HAVE CROOKED NAIL OR FINGERS. He was very rude and angry. He didn't want to take responsibility at all. The entire time I was they were chatting in a different language. My complaint was ignored and neglected. read more

Horrible experience!!! The lady who did my nails was rude. She totally ignored what I told to her about cutting my cuticles too deep and hurts. Right after that she CUT my nail fold. It was bleeding and hurt so bad. She didn't not even care or apologize. At the end she rushed me to pay and still said not anything about my cut. The worst place ever. Never go back again. read more

Robson Nails & Spa - Horrifying experience from Robson nails & Spa!!!! Not recommended at all. - Waxing Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I just visit there first time because I thought I was expensive as it located on Robson lol not at all! $21 for gel color :) The service was quick as usual Vietnamese business style. The place is nice and clean. A bit not so peaceful as the staff keep chatting in their own language and on their phone while serving customer quite often. No big deal. I will go back for sure :) read more

Went in for a simple manicure. The woman there did a horrible job. The manicure was patchy. I took it off the minute I came home. I should've known better when she was so lethargic at what she was doing. Horrible experience. I wish I could give no stars. read more

I've been to a couple places in Vancouver, this place gets 5 stars for overall happiness. When going to almost any nail salon, it's common that it's first come first serve. I always go in the early mornings to avoid busy hours and I've never had a problem going early, I've had to wait the most 5 minutes before and they're courteous and have you sit in a chair and pick your colour. Especially for the price, one of the most reasonable priced nail spas especially for the quality you get. If you want reserves to matter, try a pricier place! I've only had one set of "bad" nails, and it was from a trainee. They were only bad because they were too thin and broke too easily. All the other sets I've gotten from the male and Cindy were amazing. I get coffin shaped and this can be a big hit or miss and they got it perfect. Lots of colour choices. They play music, and are generally friendly! Place is clean and modern! I recommend to anyone who appreciates quality for a good price! read more

Service was poor. One staff member laughed at how short my nails are at the beginning of my appointment. We made an appointment for three regular manicures and were on time but were all seen to at different times by different people - my sister had to wait at least ten minutes after my manicure had started. The arm massage portion of my manicure was very unpleasant - the technician cracked my wrists and overall didn't seem to know what she was doing at this point. My sister and friend both had pleasant experiences with their massages. Further, we had to wait a long time for the top coat to be applied and then were not told how long to keep our hands under the drier. The staff were getting ready to close the shop but were not concerned with getting us out. My sister and friends nail look fantastic. Mine look okay (despite having short nails from biting, I have been able to get a better manicure from other establishments). I would not return because of the poor service. read more

I used to go to ChiChi nails which has served me well over the years. One day I decided to try this place for a variation of services. I'm really glad I came. Although they are busy, I feel that they pay more attention to detail than other nail joints. They are accommodating to walk ins however, during this busy tourist season, don't be alarmed if you have a bit of a wait. What I liked : 1. Clean atmosphere. 2. Tons of colour options for shellac/gel 3. Offer you green tea, coffee or water 4. Very accommodating (as much as they can to their capacity) 5. Use of higher quality products (ie. CND hand lotion versus come crappy bulk lotion from China!). 6. A more personable atmosphere despite language barrier (I hope they don't lose this with time like most other offers) The thing I disliked: 1. Watching MTV award reruns every time I'm there!!! 2. Going to the washroom: what a maze! Hallway takes you into the inner bowels of that Robson Mall place. Hallways smell rather funky and it's a mission to go. Don't wait until the last minute- your bladder WILL explode! I recommend this place for an efficient mani/pedi with decent prices, good quality service and clean atmosphere. I'd request a different channel next time (unless you haven't been here and likely haven't seen these re runs before!) and make sure I come with an empty bladder :) read more

Love this place. Don't expect stellar service if you're a walk-in, even if you reserve - if they're busy, and have you sit - you may be sitting for 15-20 mins wait time. Once they get started though, the work is great. Everything is clean and done well. It can get loud, because they have music videos playing and the staff will talk quite loudly at each other (yelling over each other etc - not often though). English isn't great, so it's hard to understand sometimes. But as long as you show them (if you have examples/photos) what you want, they can replicate well. I highly recommend this place. 10 visits = 1 free manicure/pedicure. Price is average, but I haven't visited other places to be able to compare. read more

We are from San Diego, California. The service here was exceptional! The staff were friendly, and the store was clean and neat. It's conveniently located on Robson street but the price is reasonable and service is definitely 5-star. read more

I got my nails done from them a while back. They did a pretty good job. I called them and they got me in on a very busy day. I got acrylic ombre nails set and was charged 70 which is average. Nice staff and comfortable environment. To be honest, the nails done by them was the set that stayed on longest for me. Love their work. read more

I got a manicure/pedicure; the manicure wasn't done properly, . they aren't friendly to their clients at all, every time I've gone there, which has been a few times, they've always rushed the service.sorry never go back again read more

Do not go there for regular mani/pedi!!!. My first and last time there. If you want to be treated like shit because you chose regular polish over shellac, have crooked nails and uneven polish application on 7 nails out id 10 this is your place!!! No effort in making you welcomed and condescending when pointing out uneven color... read more

Rushed through mani/pedi, despite me being only customer in store. Had to remind their staff to do hand lotion for mani. Mani was no polish and I guess she thought that meant not bothering with much of it. No lotion on feet after pedi. Rushed from this service to lash tint, so didn't have time to ask for lotion. Lash person made a human error and started putting lash extensions in. I did not catch right away and when I did, she acted like she couldn't understand me. It took a fair bit of negotiating to get them to remove them and in the process she stung my eyes with something. They refused to cut the charge to just a basic pedi. Very rude. Refused to listen. Very negative experience. read more

This place was super cute. This was the first time for me ever getting acrylics and Cindy was really patient and nice (because I was clueless). The whole staff is very polite. The music videos was a fun touch. There is also a big window to look out onto the street while you are being pampered. Will definitely be back :) read more

I have been to this salon a few times now. Last time I had shellac on both fingers and toes - two of the toe polish came off with in a week, and my nails lasted under a week. I didn't go back because I was in Mexico. Yesterday I thought I would give it another try with a pedicure, but getting regular polish - I have bubbles in the polish on 3 nails. Very disappointed, and once again I am off to travel so can not go back to have it corrected. The staff are very lovely, but needless to say I can not keep spending money somewhere I can't going back to have errors fixed every time.... especially when I travel so much. read more

You've raised my standards and I appreciate it !! Friendly staff, immaculate work! read more

Hi. My boyfriend and I went for a mani - pedi on Aug 5 2018 . They were friendly when we first entered. They basically ignored my man . They did not clip or file his nails . They splashed a coat of clear on his fingernails . Super bad job of it . There are bubbles and places they missed completely . They did nothing for his toenails. Wow . They didn't speak english and kept talking in their own. Not sure if they were making fun of us , but it felt like it. They charged him $72.19 for his. Once he paid they completely ignored both of us . Will never go back ! read more

This nail spa is terrible and dirty and I got a serious toe infection from the unhygienic tools. They also over book clients so your appointments to get your nails and toes done at the same time are never honoured. Run from this place! read more

Cheap and convenient. They do take walk-ins but it's sheer luck whether anything will be free when you arrive so an appointment is safer unless you don't mind waiting around for a while. I went here for a manicure and pedicure after spending a month moving house and putting together Ikea furniture, my nails were all broken and I felt I needed someone else to take care of it while I relaxed and recovered. The pedicure was pleasant but I was less than impressed with the manicure. I didn't get any polish, just wanted my broken nails tidied up and looking neat. But after I left, I kept finding rough spots on the nails where they hadn't been fully filed smooth. Maybe if I'd got polish she'd have done more filing or would have noticed the flaws; there was nothing huge, and it was easy to touch up with a nail file, but certainly I'd expected better from a professional place. read more

So needed a fill of acrylic and gel over. Looked at a lot of Yelp reviews and this was close enough to walk to & had good reviews. I did t make an appointment and they took me right away. I was offered tea or water too. I was asked if I'd like a pedicure and I said I didn't have 2 hours & they offered to do it at the same time. Was a great experience and I'd highly recommend coming here. Very sweet girls and did fabulous work! read more
