M&D Spa and Nails

I’ve been looking for a nice spa to have my nails done and I noticed this place in the same plaza as my husband’s music lessons. It is immaculately clean and there is no smell of acetone like some other nail salons. I had a pedicure and reflexology massage on this trip and it was wonderful! So relaxing I fell asleep during the reflexology massage. $ 60 for the treatment and I came out feeling energized and my feet and skin look and feel wonderful. I will definitely come back and try a manicure.

Cheapest decent manicure I’ve ever gotten in the GTA. Started chipping in about a week and a half, though.

I visited M&D Spa & Nails yesterday for the first time because my usual manicurist wasn’t available and I desperately needed my nails done. Cindy greeted me at the door and took me in right away. She did my pedicure & then a gel nail refill & shellac manicure. The mini arm & leg message felt so good!
Cindy was gentle & attentive. She’s a lovely lady & very responsive to your needs. She even suggested a nail colour for me & I enjoyed all the compliments from everyone at a social event I attended afterwards.
More to the point, Cindy did a great job on my nails. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. Prices were a bit more than I’m used to. About $ 70 + a generous tip for Cindy. I didn’t notice how good the other ladies were at their jobs — sorry! It felt to me like more of a spa than a nail place. Lots of space, relaxing spa music & simple décor. Bottom line is that I would go back because they’re good.

Loved this place. Very serine and relaxing not like the average nail spot around. The workers were very nice and friendly and did a fabulous job on my pedi and mani. Also I noticed they cleaned the pedicure areas very well with Lysol and bleach as well, and the entire place was clean and well kept. Great experience, will definitely be back.

I only did the eyebrow wax so thats all i can review right now but they took me in as a walk in right away which was great.
The lady that did them was really good. Didnt rush, took her time and they look great.
I will be returning to check out their other services now.
The place was very clean which is a huge bonus

Checked out this place late Saturday afternoon — it was busy but they accommodated my walk-​in appointment for a manicure and brow wax.
After reviewing the options, I opted for the «spa» manicure which was $ 10 more than the regular manicure because my hands were quite dry.
Brow wax was done well — she spent quite a bit of time waxing, plucking and then trimming my brows. The wax was a bit hot (she kept blowing on it *after* she put it on) but overall, I’m quite pleased.
Manicure was good — the «spa» manicure essentially meant more cream put on my hands, a longer massage on my lower arms (2 – 3 min) and then she wrapped my cream-​laden hands in plastic wrap for a few minutes. Compared to the woman next to me who had a regular manicure, my «spa» upgrade for $ 10 was not worth it.
My manicure was done well, she trimmed my nails, fixed up my cuticles, put the colour on nicely. My only complaint is that after putting me on the dryer for 10 minutes, she said I was ready to go. I questioned this because other places had me drying for 15 – 20 minutes but she insisted it was fine.
I paid, left the spa, got into my car, looked down on my nails and sure enough — there were two nails that marks because they weren’t cured yet. They were cleaning up around the spa since it was close to closing time so maybe that’s why they rushed me out.
Otherwise, I would recommend this place — the price was right (if you don’t get the spa manicure!) — the atmosphere is nice — I just know to be more insistent on allowing more dry time for my colour.

I went there Friday morning. It was busy, probably becos of the long weekend. I decided to give it a 5 star not because the environment or location, mostly because of the technician. She was very patient and friendly with me even thought it was a busy morning and I asked to change the color a few time.
However, I hope to see more Gel nail designs and colours when I visit the next time.

WORST place EVER! absolutely terrible. I went once to treat myself to a nice manicure. It was the 1^st time i had ever gotten gel nails before so i wasn’t sure how they did it, anyways so they are doing it and they seem to be doing an okay job, but they were not talking to me or socializing at all so it was pretty boring. They finally finish and they look great, i’m happy with them everything is great. except the price. $ 70 for a gel set of fake nails! that is RIDICULOUS. Whatever, so i pay and i leave. 3 days later i come back because one of them has broken off, so they fix it no problem, i come back a week later a different one had fallen off, fine they fix it no problem. then i had to go back i think about 6 or 7 times. they finally re-​did the whole set but the same thing just kept happening. Eventually i’m thinking this is ridiculous, i paid 70 dollars and i feel like i could have spent 10 at Walmart and gotten a better pair. I wanted to speak with the manager so i could get my money back but she said she could not understand me because of the language barrier and to come back when her secretary was there. I NEVER went back to that place again and i don’t recommend it to anyone. They are rude and unpleasant, they don’t care and they only want your money.

I decided to knock this place down a star after my most recent experience here. My friend and I came in on a Friday night around 4 to get a mani/​pedi done. I’ve been here before and had a very good experience and was expecting more of the same.
They were busier than the last time I’d been in, but right away we were asked to select our colors and were offered massage chairs at the pedicure stations. Last time I was here, I felt like I got the works on my feet, they were thorough and did a very good job. This time, my technician just seemed disinterested, as if she wanted to get me out of the chair right away. I had to ask her twice to fix one of my toes — the polish I had selected was sheer and it just wasn’t looking very nice. Really now, if I can see a blemish from a few feet away, how can you not see that from ONE foot away? And why should I have to ask? You should be doing a careful job and if you screw up, you should fix it automatically.
I didn’t get much of any kind of foot massage, she just kind of slapped my legs and punched my feet, which I do NOT like. In past I’ve gotten leg massages, which are very nice, but this time, nothing. My friend’s technician was slower so her pedi took way longer but I know that my technician did not do the best job.
My fingernails were okay, again I had to ask her to fix a streaky part of my nail before she tried to put topcoat on it. All in, not as good of an experience as before, but frankly I think it depends on the technician you get. I’ve never been offered drinks or magazines or anything when I’ve come here so I don’t know whether I’m missing out on something!
In the end, my pedicure was okay, lasted quite a while, especially after a week of beach and ocean, but my toenails were uneven as they grew in, so I had to go and get another pedicure two weeks later at another location. My manicure though chipped within a day and a half (and I was being careful, no dishes, short shower, etc to try to get it to last longer). Probably the worst-​lasting manicure I’ve had in a while.
The deal they have going is a $ 35 mani/​pedi which is standard everywhere but this place is a little more upscale and feels a little nicer than others. I’ll probably go back here but I’ll have to be more direct with the technicians who seem to not know how to do their jobs.

I found this place through Unilocal and, based on the reviews I read, decided to give it a try.
I booked an appointment for a pedicure on a weekday figuring that I would be in and out in no time at all. My appointment was for 11am and I arrived approximately ten to fifteen minutes early. There were only two customers in chairs when I arrived so I was sure my plan would work!
I was asked to select my colour and was immediately taken to the pedicure chair to soak. A few minutes later, the receptionist came back to offer magazines and coffee /​tea. Thirty minutes later, with the water now cold, my technician finally attended to me.
I explained my preferences to her (i.e. not using the razor, not cutting down the sides of my nails… I had this happen once before at a different place and I wanted to make sure that it NEVER happened again!). Apparently, they do a chemical peel instead of razoring which I found interesting.
While performing the calf massage the technician started to punch the heal of my foot… then my calf… and finally smacked the top of my foot. I’ll assume that this was all part of the «reflexology» but honestly, I could have done without!
Once the pedicure was done, I was taken to the drying station for approximately ten minutes or so.
At times, there were some language barriers with my technician but the long and short of it is, my pedicure is beautiful! You’re even given a little bag consisting of pedicure slippers, a nail file and a buffer to take home and bring with you to your next appointment.
This nail salon is beautiful and clean. The service, although slow for this experience, was friendly and attentive. Where I usually have my nails done, they don’t have massage chairs so it was interesting to give them a go. I’ve decided that I don’t like them! At all.
From start to finish, I was there for approximately an hour and a half… so much for my plan. When I was paying, I’m sure I heard the receptionist say that there was a 5% discount if I paid cash but from what I’ve read below, I’m wondering now if she said 15%, I knew I didn’t have cash on me so I really wasn’t paying attention.
And that’ll teach me for not paying attention… they charged me 15% tax instead of 13% so watch out for that!

Store said 15% off waxing, this is why I decided to go to this location. It is a nice, clean salon. I went to for waxing and decided to try a full arm because I was going to get 15% off right? Wrong! After 30 minutes I was finally done and unaware of anything.
Apparently the 15% off only applies for cash payments, well thanks for the heads up! I like honesty in business so I will never be returning to this salon. Plus I’ve been waxing for years and they have never grown back so fast!
Thanks, but no thanks. Nice ladies, bad business.

The man who did my manicure, was way too rough and agressive, he cut the skin at the side of my finger, see sawing back and forth. Never said sorry when I said ‘ow”.

Great clean place!
Nice people. Girls know what they are doing. Had the guy do mani/​pedi once. Never again! He was so rough.

Its a good spa however, their Shallac nail polish is over priced and often their manicures chip quickly. I also dont like how they almost insist that you get your nails done at the same time as your pedi. I go there to relax, not be rushed.
Their pedicures are excellent!!! The best ever. they are relaxing and calming and they give a great massage with them. They have a huge choice of colours and let you take as much time as you need to pick what you want. They are very very clean and very professional and are always happy to see you. I work in the building and have been going there since they opened.
Waxing — Be careful. Sometimes when I go there for my eye brows they are excellent. But there is one tech who is not very good. She wears a lot of eye makeup and seems like the youngest there. She has made my eye brows too short and then argued with me that I did it myself. If you get her for waxing leave and wait for another tech.

This wonderful spa just opened in March and it is fantastic! Stop going to the other places NOW!!! Clean is an understatement and after going to all of the other nail salons you will be so impressed. The added extras for the pedi make you feel like a queen. The staff is all in wonderful lavender uniforms, so very friendly and will do any extras you request.
The BIO gel nails are incredible and the art and glitter dipping is fabulous, what a tremendous job!
Cant wait to go back next week for a facial!
The best part ladies… its the same prices as the cheap dirty places, and you get so much more… Please go visit, lets keep this place going. I know I definitely want certificates for Christmas for this place for sure! Awesome awesome! I just cant say enough about the wonderful staff and treatment we received!
