Awesome Nails

I usually come to this place to get my nails done. For my most recent visit, I had gel nails done before the lunar new year. The lady did a good job on the manicure and painting the coats. She was very very nice and socialable. But for some reason, my polish already started chipping on the third day and it eventually started to peel off too. So much for hoping it to last for 3 weeks when it only lasted 3 days max.

This nail place isn’t as good. 1 miscommunication; they do not properly communicAte with customers. I went there asked for a colour I wanted and either they do not have the colour or just do not know how to give me the design I wanted. So I changed the colour. The nAil shape is horrible they are not all the same shape. The colour isn’t properly place my edges weren’t filled had to ask the lady to do it and over all my nail looks unprofessionay done. My friend hated hers too. They rushed us, and charged me extra for a service I did not want. Overall save your $ 40 and go somewhere else.

I just have my pedi done today. Come home I see the polish is bupbe, it not shine and smooth. sorry you fail

I’ve been to this establishment multiple times before with different staff/​owners of course. They were so nice, clean, had great customer service, and open to corrections. This new place is horrible. Never going back there.
Where do I start:
–She rushed my manicure in-​between clients
–She cut my nails so bloody short (shorter than I had asked for)
–Instead of opening a new nail polish; they just added more thinner
–The application was worse than an 4 year old, and she did not fix it.
–When I asked her to clean it up she angrily dug her nails in to clean the edges.
–Blamed me for the bubbles that had formed on my nails. These were weird air-​bumps that were caused by the nail polish being overly thinned and application process being juvenile.
–Instead of fixing the problem, she and another employee just put heaps of top coat over the mistake; and kept saying ‘top coat fix it’
–To end it all she then used the same manicure set that she used on me with another person
–She spoke about me in Vietnamese to other staff when I asked her to fix the problem
–And finally rushed me out saying my nails were dry when they weren’t!!!
Never will I ever go back to these guys again! It hurts me to see such a great establishment get run down like this by new owners who only care about money!

The Pedi I got was average. Not the best, but it was good enough for what you pay.
They did make a little wee error on one toe, but still, taking care of your feet is important. So you have to do this once in awhile to keep up appearances. I’d come back again, but I’m still on the hunt for that perfect place.
It was nice that I was able to just walk in and get it done. No appointment needed.
Paid cash.

My acrylic set are far from awesome after my experience there. Many are mis-​shaped, crooked, and thick. Won’t be returning

The hygiene and service here is appaling. They reuse nail files and tools without sterilizing between clients. The woman who painted my French tips did a terrible job; she blamed imperfections in my nails for causing the appearance of white smears in the polish (the smears were in fact streaks of paint, not «bubbles» in my nail). When she tried to «fix» the problem, she ground so deeply into my nail with the Dremel tool that she nearly reached my nailbed in an attempt to patch the paint, rather than removing all the polish and starting over properly. Furthermore, her cuticle trimming resulted in bleeding, which has never happened to me before.
A different person had to redo her work.
Finally, the workers talk abusively about their clients amongst themselves in Vietnamese (they were not aware that one of the women in my group was Vietnamese; she heard them refer to her as an animal and complain about tips). This is why they ask most Asian-​looking women who enter the salon if they are Vietnamese. Not impressed at all.

A friend recommended this place, and I’ve never been disappointed. Every pedicure I’ve had here has been fantastic, and the polish job has always lasted until it either grew out or I got the next pedicure. (Given that I cannot keep a polish job intact on my hands, I consider this something of a miracle.) Staff are friendly and happy to chat, but not intrusive. Prices are excellent. And all the staff seem to have a talent for freehand nail art (an extra $ 5 with a pedicure for big toes only), which adds an element of fun to a normal pedicure.

Management has changed and hygiene at this place is now appalling. I went back twice under new management to see if it was just a one-​time thing and sadly, it wasn’t.
I was really surprised when I went to pay the first time, the person taking my debit card did not take off her gloves and returned to work with those same gloves. The second time the lady doing my feet left half way through my pedicure to clean another foot tub a customer had vacated, and did not change her gloves when she returned. I had to stop her and ask her to change her gloves before she started working on my pedicure again. I was unimpressed that my service and time was stopped so she could go and clean during the middle of my session. I also noticed that the tools were only quickly rinsed under the tap before used on another customer again.
I am thoroughly disappointed with what this place has become and will definitely not be returning.

There is nothing against this place to not give it full stars!
I called ahead to see if they would have space for me just after noon on a Thursday and they said they could accommodate me. I arrived and they sat me right away. I had initially only wanted a pedicure but opted for the mani/​peni combo instead.
I had Kelly working on my toes while Tina did my french manicure. EXCELLENT job on both my hands and feet. Both ladies were very friendly but not overly talkative.
I’d go back in a heart beat.

My friend and I got a spa mani and pedi for $ 47 (not incl tip) – excellent quality, friendly and professional service, clean salon! This is my regulary go to salon for Mani/​pedis, but I am writing this review about a specific experiece yesterday.
Awesome nails saved us from a botched mani/​pedi at another salon-​fixed everything perfectly!
My friend and I did a 2 main+2 pedi groupon deal at Vanish Laser in Surrey that went horribly wrong! Vanish Laser was unprofesional, unclean, and did a horrible polish job. The salon only had half-​used expired top coat that was globby. We should have just left in retrospect.
After we left the poor Vanish Salon, I immediately called Awesome nails and booked us an appointment 20 minutes later that day. They did an amazing job fixing our nails, which was a great releif!
Definetly a great find of a Salon!
