Phat Nails & Spa

Amazing service! I went to get gel nails removed and my boyfriend went for a pedicure. My nails have never been healthier after a removal and his feet feel great! He has a large callous and most people who work on his feet avoid it but they did a really good job with it, we will go back for sure!

I get my toes done all time, they do a great job. Great prices

I come here quite often for shellac manicure. They almost always are able to get me in when I call. They have lots of colours to choose from. And also have a hot stone pedicure for $ 30! Can’t beat that

Took my daughter here with some of her friends for her birthday for mani pedis. The staff did a great job. Hard to understand some of them. But the girls loved it and they were happy. The price as good too. I returned a few days later to get gel nails. The staff don’t talk much but I prefer that. They did a great job. My only complaint is the salon itself is not very nice looking. I Am definitely going back

I love this nail salon! I come here all the time and it’s great I would definitely recommend it. If you’re looking to have a conversation maybe bring a friend because the people who work there don’t talk much when they’re doing your nails. That’s okay because they always do an amazing Job!

Went in today for a pedicure and was amazed at how great a job the staff did. Great value for the price and they seated me right away even though I didn’t have an appointment. I will certainly be back.

Loved the massage! the clay kinda burnt my leg but it went away after a few hours (yay for sensitive skin) i got shellac on my toes… so hopefuly it lasts! lady was nice, massage chairs were nice, great colour selection! Id go back for sure

How could I say no to a $ 30 pedicure with hot stones?
It might be a little difficult to find, but it is next to a bubbletea place and on the same complex as the Churches Chicken on North Road, adjacent to the Tim Horton’s /​Save on Foods. Parking is a little difficult, as there is a small parkade with maybe 5 stalls. There is also some street parking.
I wanted a pedicure randomly and stumbled onto this place. There were already four ladies getting pedicures so I had to wait a while, but this wasn’t such a big issue because I simply went next door to get a bubbletea. They tried to get me in as soon as possible.
The pedicure itself is quite nice, I love the hot stone massage and the scrubs, and there was also a mask. This is above and beyond my expectations for a $ 30 pedicure!
Will most definitely come back! Pretty tempted to make this a monthly routine!

Been to many different nail places all around the lower mainland for pedicures and acrylic nails and this is my «go to» place! LUCY gives phenomenal pedicures with amazing massages… yes that’s right, she gives like 3 massages in the session! Prices are very good … $ 30 for deluxe pedi with leg mask and hot stone massage.
I go to the owner for my nails and she always does a great job. she’s very quick too! They always have time to take me on short notice as well

Best nail salon in the area! After receiving the WORST manicure I’ve ever had from a lady in metrotown I decided to go here from a suggestion from a friend. And I was so thankful that I did. The owner was very friendly and fast and neat. She listened to exactly what I wanted. And the price was exactly what I’m used to paying! I was highly satisfied with how well she did and have returned twice since and plan to go back many times in the future. They’re also really good about fitting you in if you just walk in, or you can easily call and make an appointment.

Day 86: they have noted my presence in the salon but as I’m still waiting for my nail fill I cannot tell you if this is worth the wait. Please tell my family I love them, as I do not think I will make it out of Phat nails alive or done.

I give this a thumbs-​up. I decided I was in need of a quick pedi before a vacation, and popped into this place at five o’clock and was sat in a chair within a few minutes. The girl doing my feet was attentive, but there’s minimal chatter. Actually, it was fairly quiet, except a TV playing the news while all the technicians worked away. I think she did a good job, and I loved the hot stones. The price is great, and it’s close to the skytrain so its super convenient.

TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE STAFF, NOT CLEAN
Went 2 hours before closing they closed an hour early and turned the lights off before we were done. We noticed they didn’t sanitize anything after using it.
Nicked me twice and told me it was my fault because I had small fingers…
Did an awful job on my nails, never going again!
Didn’t even tend to customers when they walked in (not friendly at all)
No tax on cash only…

I love this place. I saw some people commented on the «friendliness level» here, I am not a huge socializer when I am getting my hair/​nails done, I prefer to relax. However, I always think everyone here is smiling and in a good mood. No, they aren’t going to have an in depth conversation with you, but if that is what you are looking for, you should bring a friend. Or a counselor. If you are looking for great nails for a great price, this is the place for you. I prefer my acrylics to be very short, and they always do a great job with mine. Some places cut my fingers in their hastiness to trim the nails as short as I would like, I have never had a problem here. The pedicures are AMAZING, and again, so well priced! This is by far my favorite nail salon, and I have been everywhere from Abbotsford to Kits.

Showed up at 10am and had to wait for staff to arrive to open the door. The actual salon is nothing too special, but nicer than many in the tricities area. I have been getting artificial nails done for quite some time now and have tried many many places. This place just happens to be close to my home and I was in a bit of a hurry.
I got a full set of gel nails and was not all that impressed with them at first. They felt too wide at the top and I was sceptical about how long they’d last.
Best nails ever.
Its been 4 weeks and they’ve only barely started to separate from my nails. I get them done as short as I can get them and its not that often that the esthetician understands that when I say short, I mean really short!
I’ll go back for a fill next week and if the fill is as good as last as long and look as nice after several weeks then this will be my no. 1 go-​to spot!

I came in today about an hour before they closed. My pedi was great, Tracy really took her time. She also noticed that I was really tired from my day at work, showed me how to put the seat back and proceeded to give me the best massage I have had. She took her time, the hot stones were amazing and I felt great when I left. I will be back and the price can’t be beat!!!

First off, I went here last August with a girlfriend of mine on a sporadic visit to see if they had time to do a mani/​pedi for two. They were 5 minutes from closing and were happy to take us in… wow, impressive! They had a TV on for us and we were the only ones there. They offered us a drink and made us feel welcome. My friend had never had a pedi before, and she also suffers from a knee injury so she asked that they do not massage her leg. They didn’t listen, they gave a thorough massage with hot stones and a leg beating (yay for me, bad for her) and she was almost in tears. I think it was more of a communication barrier rather than not listening as we could barely understand them and visa versa I am sure. I had a male do my Acryllics. He was rough, and kept telling me not to move… kinda hard not too when you’re have a massage on your feet (ticklish) at the same time. Then all of a sudden a older woman whom I assume to be the owner/​manager walked in with a Pappajohns pizza, went to the fridge, grabbed a beer, and cracked it open! This really didn’t bother me, I was just surprised at how upfront and carefree she was about it. Overall the experience wasn’t to shabby and I did not leave unhappy.
2 weeks later…
I walk in by myself later in the evening to see if I could get the nails off. It was PACKED. It took about 3 minutes before someone realized I was standing there. They asked what I wanted and I told them. They ushered me to a seat in the back where I waited 15 + minutes. Someone finally came and told me to keep my hands in this 2inch by 2 inch dish that had what I am assuming to be nail polish remover in it and stay. I was left there for 30 additional minutes. In that time frame some woman to my left was sitting on the leopard couch grimacing as their esthetician cut her big toe nail too far in…*cringe*. Shortly there after there was a female scream to my right! she was getting acrylics and the same guy who did mine burned her skin with the electric buffer. He tried grabbing her hand back but she pulled away saying «you burned me, bro!» he then told her to stop moving and pulled it back (in his defense she was a fidgety loudmouth who was not paying attention). Then behind me in the pedi chairs someone declared they were bleeding and told the esthetic to stop. *blood pressure rising*
Finally an esthetic came to me. She asked if I wanted a manicure for $ 15.00, I said sure why not. She then asked if I got the nails done there and I told her I did. She then squawked to the beer drinking manager woman who then came up to me and peered at me skeptically over her mask! They then grilled me as to why I wanted them off… I just said it was irritating and it was time. She asked what i thought to be was if I wanted Color, which I did. She proceeded to clip buff, apply a clear coat and put me under the dryer.
At this point I was completely dazed and confused and had no idea if they were applying color or not. It turns out she was advising no color as my nails would be to thin and it would be bad for them…
You’ll never guess what happens next. As I get up to leave, the person who was washing the floors splashed a bunch of mop water all over my back and legs. I was fuming and I wanted out. I was half contemplating leaving w/​o paying. I get to the front and and she quotes $ 27.00!!! I proceeded to say what for, you didn’t even do color? The manager lady then intervened and looked at my nails. She argued with the other employer and declared we can do color. I politely told her that is fine I just want to pay and go. She then insisted and began to grab my arm to take me back. At this point their was an audience and I said, I just want to go. After another minute of me insisting to leave, waiting for my payment, and them begging me to stay «I don’t want you to leave unhappy…». I abrubtly left and she literally was crying out after me as I was walking to my car.
Too late lady. Never.again.
