Came here to get my nails done on a whim. The nail tech was nice in the beginning, as she was alone by herself. When her other co worker came in, she sat right next to us and they started having a whole conversation in mandarin with each other. Her attention to detail is not the best, and when I was told to wash my hands, I noticed one finger had a chip already, and asked her very politely if she can fix that one corner; in mandarin she said I was meddlesome, which is pretty much the same saying in Cantonese, as she proceeded to fix my nail. Maybe if she had paid more attention to her own work and stopped talking and getting distracted with her co worker, then she wouldn't have done such a sloppy job. Now I understand why the other 3-4 nails salons on the same floor were busy, except for this one. Won't be back. read more

Hands down, my new go-to nail salon! I came in to this appointment not expecting much but honestly, my nail technician Lena surprised me with her skills. She's gentle and puts in a lot of time and effort to clean my cuticles and everything. She really puts in a lot of attention and detail to the work. I got bio-gel + extensions and it is the most evenly-layered gel placement I have ever seen/felt. Definitely recommend this salon! I haven't had other technicians there but Lena was more than enough to make me want to come back! read more

I recommend this place. I'd say it's my favorite nail salon place in Markham. They do an accurate job and listen very well. My nails came out perfect. I got the gel manicure ($45) and regular pedi ($28).... gel manicure - they did an absolute fantastic job. The regular pedi - it was another person doing it, she did a good job, but missed the sides, and when I pointed out to her, she didn't complain nor say anything to her staff. She listened. Their service was very accommodating. They're located in the Langham Mall on the second floor. TnT supermarket is located on the first floor and there was many great food, dessert and bbt places located in the plaza. Parking is limited and can be a drag, so I get drop off. read more

I came here to prepare for the holiday, as a disclaimer, I think it would be helpful if you spoke the language to avoid confusion (I think they mainly speak Mandarin). The base price of shellac is $38 and ombre is an extra $10-15. I asked for sparkles on my ring finger, but they got confused and made it all white initially. They tried to correct it to just make it the same as all the other fingers, but it was pretty rushed. In the third photo, it shows that there's a lot of paint on my fingertips that were not cleaned off. The last picture shows that part of the paint started cracking around the start of the second week, I have had other shellacs that's lasted longer. As well, this store is very small, there's only 3 chairs and you're sitting very close to the next customer. I think if you're not looking to get pampered and just want a job done, it's okay. read more

I've been looking for a new nail salon to do my nails so I looked up different places and found the Nail Lab. I gave it a try and love the end result. The lady did my nails with great care and time. She even gave recommendations when I was having trouble deciding. And even when I changed my mind half way, she was easy-going and had lots of patience to make sure the design turned out the way I wanted. Base price for gel nails starts at $45 for 2 colours and will go up depending on design. read more

3.5 stars Small nail salon on the second floor of Langham Square. Lots of Color's to choose from it was hard to pick. Limited space inside can only accommodate 2-3 people inside. They do speak English or Mandarin. Service was pretty good, nail work was decent just took a little longer than usual for shellac manicure. read more

I've been jumping around a lot because i haven't found a salon that really like but i think i have now - this is the place! Booked an appointment in advance. Cathy did my nails, she was fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin which made communication really easy. Price is very reasonable - Shellac is $30 and Gel nails is $40 and more if you want designs. I showed Cathy a picture of what i wanted and she did an amazing job!! She was very attention to detail and spent a lot of time perfecting my nails & the design. Her next appointment showed up but she still didn't rush to finish my nails which is definitely a plus for me as most places I go to always rush to squeeze walk-ins or other appointments do a mediocre job. Definitely coming back!! read more

Considering this nail salon doesn't have that many reviews, I still decided to give it a try even though it's not really in my area but I checked their nail art on IG and I absolutely fell in love. Made an appointment at 12pm but I was running late so I ended up coming at 1pm and the girls were very flexible and they still let me come in for my appointment. I got uv gel which is $40 + tip extension $15 so I ended up paying $55 and the work that she did was absolutely amazing, she put on so much effort and she took her time to do my nails and they ended looking exactly the way I wanted. Definitely coming back and I've finally found my nail salon. read more

Considering this store doesn't have lot of reviews I decided to give it a chance since it was close to my home. It's a small and comfy store with a nice lady doing my pedicure and gel nails. Even though my nails are extremely short since I bite on them due to stress, she still did an amazing job fixing them. I'm very happy about this. She spoke both mandarin and English which is very helpful in a Asian populated area. Will be coming back for my next nail appointment! read more

New comer to this salon. I have read the reviews here & didn't believe a nail salon can be such highly rated. But this salon is exactly that in terms excellent friendly service, v. reasonable pricing, & patient tech!! Nina is super patient, friendly, & detailed in her work! I got a shellac mani & shellac pedi some today for only $75! Other places charge much much higher. The salon is really busy. But they open until @8pm. Book ahead! read more

My new go-to place! Honestly the best service I've ever received at a nail salon. My nail tech was not only super attentive and took her time to do great work, she was the sweetest and best conversationalist ever! She even translated into English her Mandarin conversation with her co-worker so I wouldn't feel left out, so sweet! She even got me the name of the show I was watching on the tv so I could finish watching it later. The tv they so conveniently have behind the nail techs so you have something to do while getting your nails done btw, even if it's in Mandarin it's not hard to follow along. My nails have never looked better, my cuticles have never looked better, and I've never left a nail salon happier. Definitely call before or book an appointment because they're a small shop and have two nail techs at a time I believe. Also I think they're cash only or visa, but there's an ATM in the plaza. The shop is on the 2nd floor to the left when you get out of the elevator. The photo I've attached it 4 days, 12 hours of travel, and a wedding and a reception later so keep that in mind when you see how perfect they still look! read more

This nail shop is a cute little place in the shopping mall in Langham Square. Decided to get extensions with gel and came out super happy with the finished product! Joey did an excellent job and I could tell that she puts a lot of effort into her work. She is very meticulous and will consistently ask you if you like the progress of her work, if not she will fix it until you're satisfied! The full set came out to $55 before tip and no tax if you pay cash! Definitely will be returning here. read more

I'd recommend this Nail Lab! I got my pedicure and manicure done here and they did such a good job. The only mishap is that they were late on the start time of my appointment. However, their service and quality made up for it. read more

It's been over a year since I've began coming here regularly to get my nails done (about 1 every 3/4 weeks because i get gel and it lasts me to a point where I feel my nail is too outgrown or I'm tired of the colour-- or else it could go on even longer). I can honestly say this places has one of the best services. I usually go to Cathy or Joey and they always go above and beyond what is expected to really ensure I love my nails at the end of it. read more

For my 100th review it's going to be 5 star review whoooo! So I was in search of a new place that does shellac (because gel weakens my nails way too much). I used to go to another salon but my nail tech had a baby so I was in search once again. I remember seeing this place when I would wander around Langham square. The decor is something I always found memorable; so I decided to call them and book an appointment. They mandarin and English, I believe one girl also speaks Cantonese. But they were able to help me with in english and the girl on the phone was super nice. When I walked in for my first appointment all 3 girls were busy and I waited for maybe 10 minutes but she gave me the book of nails to look at in the meantime. There are not a lot of colour choices for shellac but I am a simple person, one colour and a sparkle. What I amazed by is the amount of hard work and detail they put into each session! My girl was Joey and she cleaned my nails meticulously getting every last dead skin bit. she took her time to clean it all up and make sure the shape was right. More time was spent on the nail care than the application but how can you be made about that?! The shellac that was applied was nice and thin not thick like other places. All fingers were applied evenly too even the sparkle fingers, usually those are a little thicker but nope not here! At the end I got a hot towel and a hand massage! There are some places that charge the same price but don't offer towel, massage or any cleaning of nails. There's no reason for me to go anywhere else. The price for the service and quality are a STEAL. I wound up tipping extra but Joey was so goddamn fabulous. When she runs late she's always so apologetic about it too. Note: they only do appointments not walk-ins. So call ahead! read more

This was my first time coming to The Nail Lab. It was a bit difficult to find, but only if you're unfamiliar with the area which I am new to. I was looking for a good nail spot while temporarily in Markham and found The Nail Lab had amazing reviews. I gave it a try and was super impressed with the service and the outcome of my nails. Kathy was the one who looked after me. She was incredibly sweet and we had some small talk during my visit. She's very precise with her work and with that, uses every minute wisely. It did take about 1.5 hours, but it was well worth the wait. Although I had walked in and it seemed pretty quiet, it was far from it. She informed me it's best to make an appointment ahead of time so as to accomodate everyone accordingly. read more

Officially found the perfect nail salon!! I was going to one at pmall but the results were very on and off so I decided to follow some good reviews to The Nail Lab. The girl that did my nails made me feel so comfortable with the process because I was getting bio-gel nails for the first time. She was so confident with what she was doing and she personalized the design to me. All I had to do was show her a picture and she knew. She made my working hands so beautiful for vacation!! read more

This was my first time getting gel extensions and I think the nail tech did a wonderful job. My nail tech only spoke mandarin with an understanding of basic Cantonese, so it made communication a bit difficult but (with the help of my broken mandarin) I was able to have a conversation with her- and she was very kind and funny. After applying the glitter I had chosen she told me that she would layer a different one on top because the one I chose wasn't iridescent enough (AND BOY WAS THE ONE SHE CHOSE BEAUTIFUL) she even took the time to take each individual circular sparkle off the applicator with a brush and place them on my nails to make all the nails symmetrical!! The total came out to $60 (+$10 for glitter polish- I'm pretty sure she didn't charge me for the second glittrr), and I think she did an amazing job. She made me feel comfortable and despite the fact that she hadn't gotten to eat lunch yet (it was already 4:00), she didn't rush the job & took her time. read more

Went here to get my gel extensions removed as well as do gel on my natural nails. The lady was extra gentle after the filer got hot and I flinched. They kept touching up the shape of my nails and then the shape of my gel, even after my nails were painted they filed the nails again along the sides to keep the shape. Experience was good bc they were patient, even when I was indecisive and didn't know what colours to pick or even the nails shape I ended up going with. It took so long to finish my nails though, as I needrd to get extensions removed and filed down as well as a new layer of gel on top. Almost two hours, wish I had earbuds.. Anyways not bad, 40$ for the whole experience which is fairly low considering u even got my other nails removed and it took so long. read more

Love these hardworking ladies. I stumble upon them earlier on and decided to book with Cathy, she is meticulous with details and she advocated that her other workers are also on the same level of quality in terms of getting the job done right and properly. She even spent 3 hours on my destroyed hands to make them look amazing again. They are a little pricier than other shops but the quality goes all the way. Highly recommend them. TIP: book ahead. read more

Good deal. It is hiden spot that takes me a while to find. It is on second floor of t and t building

It's a hit and miss. My first experience was decent. It the second time where I had to wait for half hour before they took me and rushed through the job like crazy. I wanted to get some design done, but she didn't even bother asking and I didn't want to ask her to do something when she was working lie she had a plane to catch. The place also needs to get their hygiene standards to par.it's pretty disgusting!!! read more

My friend and I booked appointments on the phone for a gel mani and classic pedi. The two nail technicians were very skilled and the designs turned out better than we imagined. My friend particularly liked Cathy who gave great design recommendations and had a very friendly manner. Would definitely go again. read more

The Nail Lab - Glitter ombré gel nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I went to this nail salon because of the good reviews, the area was clean but the quality of service was not good. When I called for my appointment the lady on the phone told me it was $58 for UV gel with two colours included, but when I got there they said it would be only $58 for one colour and extra if I want another. That wasn't too big of a deal so I stuck to one colour. The quality of the nail application however was very poor. The UV gel application was uneven, one nail had a dent in the UV gel once it was cured and the gel was not applied close to the cuticle so my nails look like bubble nails or fake nails I stuck on myself. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I was not happy with how my nails turned out and I will not be returning again. read more

Found The Nail Lab on Yelp and couldn't be happier. This is my new go-to place and I recommend it to all. I've been here twice and found it really easy to call in and make an appointment - make sure you do so as they only have 2-3 technicians working at a time. The actual nail work is amazing! They take so much care and time to do your nails and I am so impressed with how meticulous they are. They truly ensure each nail is absolutely shaped and painted perfectly. I came here to get my nails done for my wedding and they even gifted me 2 crystals to add on! Did I mention they're super affordable? Definitely visit The Nail Lab, you won't be disappointed. read more

I used to go Miki nails (inside pacific mall) and realized how much they sucked once I came here!! This is now my go to place. I always go to Joey. She's always very detail oriented and spends a lot of time perfecting my nails, even though I'm doing a simple gel manicure. My nails have gotten so much healthier from coming here and I will be going to her from now on. read more

I was excited to get my nails done here after reading the reviews. When I got there at my appointment time, they were finishing up with a client. I waited a little while - maybe 15 minutes, but boy am I grateful that I had to wait. When they were finishing up the previous client's nails, I noticed that the lady hung onto the disposable slippers that she had just taken off the previous client. I kept my eyes on them, and long and behold, when she was preparing to apply my toenail polish, she was about to put on the same disposable slippers that were on the previous clients. They appeared to be worn multiple times before. I had to stop her and ask for a new pair. She had to look around a little while before she was able to locate a new pair. From then on, I noticed that all the tools that she used were not new, including the nail files (she even had to use multiple ones because they were so worn down), the foot scrub, all of it! At the end of the day, they did a great job on my nails - she was thorough, took her time and listened to my requests, but cleanliness weighs really heavily for me, and because of that, I'm not going back to this place. BTW, they are cash only. read more

This is my new fav nail place! Got my hand nails done last week and I already went back today for pedi. Joey and Sammi did nails for me and my sister last week then it's the other lady who did my toes today. The staff were all very nice and skillful. They really took the time to make sure your nails look perfect. The price is also very affordable, I paid $30 for shellac hand nails and $45 for toes. Make sure to call ahead of time to book an appointment. read more

Was looking for a new place to get my nails done and came across this on yelp. I went in for a manicure and I was so impressed with how well they did my nails! They aren't expensive at all but they give you the best service. Definitely my new go-to! The only thing is that the plaza itself is quite busy so parking can be a little difficult to find but other than that, love this place! read more

I got shellac on my nails and a regular pedicure, which came up to $55. The colour I chose was changed by the lady who did it for me as she preferred a different colour for me, which usually I'm open to suggestions but thought it was weird that she pushed something else on me. I ended up not liking it and she didn't even put enough coats for there to look like that there was nail polish on my nails, was such a waste of money. Also, the shellac literally chipped after 4 days. I think the most disappointing part was that it looked like nothing was on my nails since she didn't take the time to put enough coats and then also that the shellac chipped faster than the regular nail polish on my toes. I understand you work more with your hands but I was literally on vacation and was hardly doing anything with my hands for that to happen. Just crappy quality. read more

I love The Nail Lab! Joey is my go-to girl and she makes the most beautiful nail designs I swear. This place is so great compared to all those stores in Pacific Place or North York that charge you $200 bucks for a set of nail art designs, how ridiculous!

The Nail Lab - A week old but still looks so good! - Nail Salons Near Me - Markham, Ontario

AVOID at all costs. I was previously a regular customer for almost a year but after this experience, I will never go again. This is the first review I have ever written, but I was shocked by how unprofessional and rude the owner was. I came in with my mother for my regular mani/pedi and was totally ignored by the main salon owner who spoke English. Finally, our regular nail tech recognized us and took us in. The entire time we were there, the owner went out of her way to make me and my mother feel unwelcome. She gossiped other clients in front of us and at one point, she even pretended like we were invisible when our nail tech referred to us. We had been going to the salon since they opened because we liked how nice our regular nail tech was - she's the one with shorter hair and speaks Mandarin. We even sent many referrals and tipped generously. However, I refuse to support a business in which the owner is so outstandingly disrespectful to their customers. Advice for the owner: Learn to treat your customers with respect. You lost two regular customers who were more than happy to support and advocate for your business. read more

I CHEATED ON MY OLD NAIL SALON PLACE AT PMALL AND HONESTLY I'M NEVER LOOKING BACK. My old nail salon place was also a spa so it was super convenient for it to be my one stop shop, however, it was hit and miss. Sometimes I loved my nails, sometimes I didn't. I asked Joey to redo my old nail design to give it a fair comparison, AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I called in to make an appointment and the reception was very polite, however, when I arrived for my 11 am appointment, Joey was a little late, HOWEVER, she apologized profusely. I normally pay $30-45 for my nails at my old place, at the nail lab today I paid 55$ and I tipped her 5$ because even though she was late and her next appointment had arrived, she meticulously took her time perfecting my nails and made sure I was happy with them. I really like that it's appointment only because at my old nail salon, you could make appointments but they also took walk-ins which would result in them rushing to take the next client. The Nail Lab is on the pricier side but honestly, you get what you pay for and in my opinion, you really get your money's worth. My nails look bomb, cuticles looking cute, feeling like a bad bitch tbh. It's a quality experience, and I've attached photos AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU JOEY FOR CHANGING MY LIFE, I'll be back! read more
