Nails by Jenny

Its been about 2 weeks and I’m starting to see some yellow under the clear acrylic and am concerned about whether it is fungus or cheap acrylic. the cuticles are looking quite distressed as well.

Love this place will be my main nail place now. they were friendly and they made my nails look so on point.

***WARNING****
Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT go to this nail salon. I went a few weeks ago to have a pedicure and shellac manicure. Both the ladies who worked on me were super rough with the cuticle removal and the one doing my manicure even made my finger bleed. Anyways, long and behold three of my finger cuticles got infected and my toe nail got infected as well. There was no care when doing my nails and I’m pretty sure they don’t clean there tools since I got infections. I went back to Jenny and she refused to give me a refund, offered to redo my nails, which is absolutely ridiculous because why would I want to go back to some place that gave me cuticle infections in the first place. Please do yourself a favor and do not go here. Having infected cuticles might not sound like a big deal, but it was very painful and can lead to bigger and worse infections.

Wonderful friendly service and attention to detail. I always leave happy. They perfect every little detail and it’s reasonably priced for such good quality work!

Had my manicure on friday and by Monday they chipped. Nail polish did not last. Busy place. Good prices. Hard to find parking.

Really debated whether or not to write this review but after going in to fix toe nails, I decided I must. Did a Mani shellac and pedi. While taking off the dead skin with the, the lady wENT too deep ended up cutting, then starts saying that I have thin dried skin that’s why… then the other lady doing my Mani when too deep while trimming cuticles. To make things worst, my toe is swollen because the pedi was done properly, I’ll need to see the doctors if it still swollen next week. Also, no discount for cutting me, not even apologizing from the owner.
Viet run salon, all speak Viet in front of our face, was obvious they were talking about us. Did not notice sanitizing tools, I did bring my cuticle trimmer and pusher. Will never come back or recommend to anyone!

I called in that morning to book an appointment later in the evening for gel nails so that I can go after work and they were very accommodating. They were literally the only salon that picked up at 10am and was open late until 8pm. Fit my schedule perfectly!
My appointment was for 6pm but I ended up coming half an hour early, even though they were somewhat busy, they got me started right away which I love! I went to a couple of nail salons in the area and if I ever came early, a majority of the time they would tell me to come back at the time I was told and take in some walk-​ins who got there after me.
They were all very friendly and very talkative. The person who was doing my nails, her name was Katherine and she would always check up on me to see if I was still doing ok or if I needed anything. I didn’t expect much, but she did an amazing job on my nails! She cleaned the unders of my nails before applying the gel which was definitely a bonus and she wasn’t super rough with my fingers either. Katherine did an amazing job on my nail art and I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment!
I am making this my regular go to spot to get my nails done! The price wasn’t outrageous either. It’s easy to get to if you drive or transit, it’s located across from ⁷⁄₁₁ on Kingsway and Royal Oak.

Great nail place. My old place wrecked my nails as they used the machine to remove the shellac which is a no no. I’ll be coming back to Nails by Jenny. Clean and excellent service.

While I got exactly what I wanted, these nails definitely did not last! I ended up peeling all the nails off (w/​little effort) a week or so later!
It was cute while it lasted but definitely not worth the small price.

Made an appointment here because of the good reviews. I asked for a couple different designs that were a little more technical to do and they agreed to try which I really appreciate. I previously went to Glam in Richmond and they refused to do the same design because it was too much work.
The place is a hole in the wall and def not as nice and comfortable as other places. There’s nail filings everywhere… The girls there don’t speak English very well but they do awesome work. I really love the design they did for me though it was quite expensive for white/​gold glitter shellac ($ 52!)
*edit* I’m taking off two stars. The nails started peeling and the gel completely fell off on some nails after about 1.5 weeks. The previous times I’ve done gel nails at other salons have lasted for upwards of 5 weeks. Don’t think I’ll ever come back to this salon. Just isn’t worth it for the quality of the salon and the nails.

They are very cold with me and the manicure is not a very pleasant experience. I booked an appointment and I still waited for about 10 minutes where there was someone available！！！

The attitude of their artists sucks, I booked 2 people for manicure, but my friend waited for a while and there is a nail artist who was free. After leaving the shop, I found my pinkie finger was painful, turns out they hurt my finger when doing manicure. I chekced the Unilocal to find this nail shop, however, I feel that I will never go there agian. Hope anyone can read my review and re-​think about going there for manicure.

On the hunt for a new nail place I decided to check this place out based on the reviews and how close it is to home. I called at 5:10 on a Friday asking if they had any openings that evening for a Shellac manicure. She asked if I could be there at 5:30, it meant I had to leave right away, but I made it through rush hour traffic, found parking in the lot outside, and made it by 5:30.
First impression: wow, this place is small. There are massage chairs along the left wall, 3 nail stations to the right, and one nail station attached to the front counter so that the tech ends up sitting right behind the cash register… kind of awkward and cramped. Also they could invest in some air conditining, I would not recommend going on a hot day! I was sweating in there with only 1 other person, I couldn’t imagine it midday full of people :/​
I didnt see where she took the tools from, so I can’t say how clean they were, but the work stations could use a wipe down. The manicure itself was well done, she shaped my nails nicely, and was gentle when I told her I have sensitive cuticles. I chose a nude colour and she did 3 coats to make sure my natural tips weren’t showing through, just like I’d requested. Very clean application and edges, I’m a happy customer!
I will go back again in a few weeks after testing the longevity of this mani to see how they remove shellac. Also will try to note the tool sanitation process. I did however see a girl scrubbing out the pedi sinks with cleaner before closing, so I hope that’s a good sign.

The owner who does ur nails is very mean. I used to go here religiously but she is nitpicky and rude and bossy. She may have disliked me because she was very rough with me. One time the drill slipped and she gouged out a piece of my pinky finger.

This place I can honestly say isn’t bad to begin with. Looks very clean and the staff appeared super nice and friendly. The only problem was. they didn’t know I was able to understand vietnamese and their whole conversation was pretty much talking a load of shit about me. Jenny was actually super friend but I am so ashamed to see how fake her workers were. She messed up one of my nails, it was completely crooked to begin with and before I could say anything she started to speak in vietnamese again asking her Co worker how she could hide it so she didn’t have to fix it. Then she put a fake smile on her face and asked me my name I then proceeded to tell her my vietnamese name. She then turned completely red and went to the back and never returned to finish my nails. She even had the audacity to ask me why I didn’t tell her I was vietnamese to begin with. Honestly pathetic.
On a brighter note, Keep up the good work Jenny, but I suggest you really remind your workers to be careful of what they say around people. You don’t have to be vietnamese to know the language.

I wanted just a polish change and didn’t want to spend a whole lot of time or money plus I was looking for somewhere close to home (Metrotown).
Like everyone else, I Unilocal’d and found this no fuss salon. I’m always one to try a new place and given the reviews, I gave it a chance.
I called ahead of time to inquire about price, and availability. It sounded like they could take me in as a walk-​in but since I had to be somewhere at a certain time, I made an appointment. For a simple polish change for my hands it would be $ 8 and 20mins is what they said over the phone. My appt was for 4:30pm on a Mon.
I arrived at my scheduled time. It wasn’t too busy so that was good. Kim did my polish change. I thought I would only get the polish applied but she also did a bit of shaping and cleaned my nails then proceeded to apply the polish that I brought with me.
Kim did an excellent and even application — base coat, 2 coats of colour, and finished with a top coat. She put my hands under a heated fan, then after a bit, turned it to cool. That technique must have something to do with the drying and hardening process?
Anyway, the whole process took just under 20mins! I stayed a bit longer just to be sure they were dry. They had a TV showing the food network so I didn’t mind staying a bit longer! Within the half hour I was there, 2 more walk-​ins came through getting full manicures.
The total came to $ 8, I gave $ 10 to cover a tip… I think the $ 8 included any taxes!
I would go back and try some of their other services. The prices are very reasonable and if the polish change treatment is any indication, I’d go back for a full mani/​pedi. They do waxing as well. I think I’ll try it and if it’s good, this place may just become my neighbourhood go to salon!
The only minor con is when I walked in, you could smell traces of acrylic fumes. I have to expect that in a small salon that does acrylics.

Made a last minute appointment and they were still able to accommodate me on a Friday afternoon! This place is a no-​nonsense establishment — they do the job and do it well! When I went there, there were a handful of clients who look like they’ve been coming to Jenny for years, and I can definitely see why!
The lady I got wasn’t too much for chit chat (which I’m honestly relieved by), but she was really nice and even helped me get my card out of my bag so I don’t ruin my manicure.
At about $ 16 a pop for your regular mani, this place is a great place to get your nails done if you’re not too fussy and could care less about the couches and fake flowers at other establishments.

Desperate for a pedi, my friend and I made last minute appointments here. Pretty much going in blindly as we did not know what the place looked like and there is no website. However, the Unilocal reviews were good so we decided to give it a try.
When I arrived, I was pleased. The place was busy, which is a good sign.
There were a fair selection of polish on the walls.
The salon ambience itself is ok, but there were lots of pedi chairs to accommodate people. Small salon, but they make it work.
The girls are nice. They don’t try to upsell you.
My friend had a nice flower painted on her big toe. Way better than the previous flower art she had.
Only complaint is that the leg massages could be a little longer, compared to what we’ve both received at other salons.
It’s nice that they close at 7pm.
There’s a few parking lots which provide parking.
Prices are good! I would go back.

I don’t normally get my nails done, but I have a special event coming up so I thought I would book an appointment. One of the staff there called me back (I called before they opened accidentally) even though I didn’t leave a message and got me an appointment for an hour later. The staff were all very friendly and really wanted to make sure I was happy with my nails. The salon itself could have been a little cleaner, but it was fine. The price was reasonable. It took 2.5 hours for a pedicure and acrylic/​gel nails.

Showed up late, everyone was busy, yet they still took me and did a fantastic job on my bungled acrylic nails and gel overlay from a month back. Can’t believe they only charged me $ 52 including tax! One nail replaced, old acrylic and gel fixed, new beautiful overlay gel put on. Can’t say enough wonderful things!
