Binh’s Nails

Wow! I am so impressed with this place! Efficient, very friendly service, largest selection of colours I’ve seen, very clean, and has a bit more of a higher end feel than most nail salons.
I phoned on a Sunday at noon to request an appointment for 2pm, for a gel polish & manicure. The lady on the phone was exceptionally pleasant. Really good vibe just from booking.
I showed up 20 minutes early to give myself enough time to pick a colour. I was greeted so warmly, which was such a nice change from other places I’ve been to. This place has the largest colour selection of any nail salon I’ve been to. For the gel polish alone, they easily have well over 100 colours. Possibly close to 200?
My nail tech was Linh and she did a fantastic job. I didn’t want a dremel used, and she indicated they do not use dremels for any of their gel polishes. Fantastic! Linh was so friendly and really nice to talk to. The colour I picked was an OPI gel polish. While sitting there (very comfortably, I might add), I noticed they have some pretty sweet pedicure chairs that are HUGE and comfy looking with a remote to control a bunch of settings. And there are a lot of pedicure chairs as well (6 or more I’d say) so this would be a good place to come with friends/​family. The manicure tables were very comfortable to sit at, clean, and also have a high end look to them.
My gel polish & manicure was $ 35 and well worth it. Linh was very efficient, and I can’t wait to go back and pick another colour. And I’ll definitely be back for a pedicure. They do also have a loyalty card where you get one stamp for every service over $ 40.

Made an appointment for 1pm for regular pedicure and shellac manicure. Didn’t get in till about quarter after. After the pedicure, a girl comes in wanting a polish change. She is waiting a whole 5 min (after they said they would get her in), then starts whining on how she has been waiting and has to get home to her kids! There was some re-​arranging so this pudgy little thing could get her service done (later I find out she’s a «regular»). In the mean time, my pedicure is done and I’m waiting AGAIN to get my manicure. Finally after 3 hours I’m done. The finished product was ok. Not bad, not great just ok. I’m a patient person, but what gets me is I HAD an appointment and felt it was set aside for walks in who’s time was apparently more important than mine.

I have been to many salons in and around the Edmonton area and every time I have said ‘NO DRUMMEL ON NAILS’ they all seem to ignore and start right away — because it is the quickest way to take shellac polish off. I decided to stop in to this location and give them try. Right away I could see a huge difference… everyone was extremely friendly, English being spoke in all directions. Of course because of the DRUMMEL on nails, my nails overall are extremely thin so the night before I decided to soak off myself… when speaking with Dominque (I believe that who I dealt with :)) she said that she never uses the DRUMMEL and soaking is the only way to ensure that your nail beds are in tact…
Overall, the manicure was great… unfortunately I choose a ‘mood’ changing colour because I really liked the colour when you hands are cold (which mine are always cold) however all day my hands have been warm and I do not care for the coral colour so will be going back to get a colour change and will experience what they do to remove… will comment after experience…
UPDATE: Have since been back and Dominique did what she said — she soaked off the nails. I showed her what my nails had done — seems really thick in polish and shrunk quite a bit. She apologized and said that yes, the mood polish is much thicker and will shrink and she should have mentioned this to me… When all was said and done, got a new colour done and my nails look great. Just need to wait about a year for the thin nails to grow out!!!

Dominique was great! Lovely to talk to and took lots of time to ensure the nails were done to perfection

Amazing!!!
Plus you get this stamp card that after 8 services, you get $ 35 off a service!

A recommendation by my sister-​in-​law convinced me to go to this place to get my nails done. I didn’t have a very good experience with a place I had gone to previously, but I thought I would give this place a try. I am super happy with the way my nails turned out. I got the previous shellac and color removed, got a manicure, and got color change gel put on top. The salon itself seems quite trendy, and really cool décor. It looks like they would be great for pedicures as well. They have tons of product, and it seems like it’s the good high-​end stuff that you’re looking for for decent nails. It wasn’t overly busy, but I had called ahead just to make sure I could get fitted at the last minute. My nail tech was nice, quite quiet but still asked me questions and made sure that I was having a good experience. My nails turned out perfectly, and I was very pleased with the whole experience. And, to top it off, it was a decent price. For the shellac removal, a manicure, and the gel nails it only cost me $ 35 plus GST. I will definitely come back to this place. Even the menu board of all the different treatments that they offered, were decently priced. The only negative comment that I have about today was that I heard they had a special punchcard for every time you come in and you get a discount after 10 treatments. I was not offered this, but it doesn’t matter. I will still come back to this place to get my nails done and will be bringing people with me.

Wow’ what a difference between franchise locations. After a very rude experience at the Gateway Blvd location, was warmly greeted and happily accommodated here. You actually get to enjoy the spa treatment with added perks like hot stone massage with your pedicure. A bigger selection of gel polish with a better quality product. The staff actually hold a conversation with you and make the visit an enjoyable nor. Thank you Dominique!

Pretty average visit, asked for gel nails, showed a picture of how I wanted them to look. The girl about 5 minutes in just up and leaves me sitting there. A gentlemen came a few minutes later to finish off, didn’t say a word to me. When he was painting my nails I said I didn’t really like the shade chosen for my skin tone and maybe we could try something else. He ignored me kept going. Put the finishing coat on and again got up and left. I asked for soft rounded tips and I ended up with witch talons… Not impressed. I won’t be going there again.

This was my first time here and I must say I will definitely be coming back again! I had Hanna and she was soooo nice! She sits there and starts a conversation you which is hard to find at nail salons! Hanna was such a perfectionist on my nails and ensured that they were flawless! When it comes to nails I am always worried about trying a new place but so happy I found this gem of a place!!!

It started off like every other nail salon visit, pick your color, and wait. In which the wait was not long at all. The moment I sat in the chair I was immediately relaxed. The girls were super warm, welcoming and very accommodating. They spoke little English, so the conversation was null, but who needs conversation when your in a state of tranquility. Their nail services are fast, efficient and I am overly impressed with the results. Definitely going back.

I did a walk in on a Saturday afternoon for a gel nail fill and toes painted, I had a picture of the nail design I wanted. I was helped right away by Dominic and the manager. I was surprised that they spoke English more so than the other locations. When they did speak other than English they translated right away. The team was great and Dominic did a great job and was very creative. While I have been finding that some locations of Binh’s nails focus on pedicures and many of the tech’s do not like to do manicures and therefore do not do an efficient job this location does it all well. The time it took was reasonable 1.5 hours for the fill/​design and toe painting. Cost was also inline with what other salons charge. The Loyalty card is also a benefit.

I stopped in at this location after work for a pedicure and eyebrow waxing. Even without an appointment they were able to quickly accommodate my needs. I was lucky enough to have Anna as my tech and she was AMAZING! So sweet and friendly, made quiet conversation while she worked and asked me how I was enjoying it several times. She did an amazing job on my toes and spent so much time pampering my feet and legs, not only a massage but also a hot stone rub and a hot towel at the end! They also give out loyalty cards for every time you spend over $ 40 you get a stamp and after 8 stamps you get $ 35 off the 9^th treatment which is amazing! Thank you and I will be back!
