Fresh Nails

My shellac manicures last forever!!! I have never waited here. It’s very clean and perfect spot to pop in and grab a mani and pedi at the same time. Danny is always welcoming and has very high standards. I receive compliments of my nails all the time!

Danny was very fast doing my nails. Also got a pedicure. Didnt have to wait long either. Its a wee bit pricey but you get what you pay for!

Looooovely décor, shiny and brilliant salon, Thanks Dannny! The new renovation makes a day at the spa truly a getaway much needed everytime i come in. Thanks for removing the step to the pedicure chairs as i know you told me you when you are able to do so you will immediately, the other salons that still have that step are such a nuissance, glad you’ve invested well for me and all your clients! love the job on the Shellac, my hands are in water everyday and come out shiny after i’m done! Also great ventilation, i can literally smell the beach from inside, keep up the the excellent service, i’ll see you next week.

Fresh Nails has been consistent in providing excellent services for myself and family for over a year. We get manicures, pedicures and eyebrow waxing and have always been 100% happy with their professional, clean and friendly service. I get shellac manicures that look fantastic for weeks, and my daughter’s gel nails also last long. We go about every 3 – 4 weeks when the nail growth becomes noticeable. I regularly receive compliments on my nails even when the manicure is weeks old. Calling ahead is a good idea. They seem to have a steady flow of a loyal customer base, so sometimes they are busy. I noticed that they have expanded their staff to accommodate this.

I really wanted to like this place. The staff was very friendly at first. I got a shellac manicure and regular pedicure. When I left, everything looked fine but the next day, 2 of my shellac nails chipped. I called to ask if they could fix them and the lady on the phone said no problem. When I went back, the owner was really defensive and was arguing with me, insisting that I banged my fingers hard because they do a good job with shellac. I get my nails done regularly, so I’m not naïve about shellac. They were poorly done. Needless to say, it was am awkward 10 mine to fix them, and he didn’t start from scratch on those nails like another place did when a nail chipped. Instead, he just added more paint on top and now it’s not smooth. Really annoying since I dropped almost 80 bucks there that day. Will not go back!

Danny was so friendly, and as an RN my nails take a beating day to day. My shellac is still going strong and he told me if i was disappointed to come back in. They used CND Shellac which some salons say this use… but dont. Great place :)

I was walking along Queen when I stumbled upon this nail salon. I’ve been curious about all the alternatives to acrylic nails for a while (because I personally think they look kinda trashy) and I’ve got a mix of fingers that grow really strong nails while the others are always breaking.
I noticed they weren’t busy so I thought it’d be a great time to ask (it’s taken me this long to ask because I tend to go when nail salons are zoos) and I feel weird asking tons of questions when people are obviously super busy.
Anyhow, they gave me their best recommendation for something very natural looking but would last a lot longer than my shellac was… So basically something that met in the middle of shellac and acrylic.
Oh, and by the way theres a nail salon people should watch out for on Yonge close to St. Clair… they do awful Shellac jobs. I don’t remember the name but it’s a few doors down from Kearns and Co Hair salon (which is a GREAT salon btw.) I’ve done it twice there and they start to peel within 24 hours. All the shellac I had left was on my ring and pinky fingers.
The guy (I forget his name) asked me how long my nails already were or if I didn’t have any at all. He took a look and saw that a bunch of my nails were pretty long, some pretty rough and he noticed my shellac. He explained a lot to me about how the shellac I got probably wasn’t done properly and all that stuff ’cause it shouldn’t be peeling, which is what I thought!
From this point I ended up doing that cool gel thing (I don’t even remember what THAT’S called – I’m 0 – 3 today –_​-​) he only had to add tips to two sad finger nails and matched their length to the rest of my fingernails. He spoke Vietnamese the most of the time trying to get me to practice mine (Ha! What a joke!) It was a great time!
I felt kind of bad though ’cause there was this lady in there who was acting like a stuck up b***h, it turns out she’s a regular, acts that way all the time and they just take it. She was doing things like helping herself their manicure water bowls for her dog, things like that bug me because I have a dog too, I love him to DEATH but I don’t bring him to the nail salon with me among many other places!!! At least she provided a good source of entertainment. Okay, enough of that.
My conclusion? This is a great Down-​to-​Earth nail salon. I usually don’t like going to Vietnamese run places because they look at me funny when I tell them I’m half AND because I feel guilty for not going to my aunt… LOL
If you’re like me, want to get your nails done well and would prefer to hang/​practice your vietnamese with soft spoken people as opposed to your aunt (or the like) that kind of yell at you, ask too many questions you don’t want to asnwer and make you feel bad about your awful accent… come here!

Was here earlier today with a friend. I met some nice people who swear by this place. The salon was clean, with a fair number of colour choices. The staff seemed to genuinely care about whether or not patrons were happy. They checked in frequently to see if you liked the work they were doing, from the shape, to colour choice etc. At $ 35 for a mani/​pedi the price is in line with other places, and especially for the beaches. I’m in search of some good nail salon options, and this made the cut. I’ll be back!
