Cozy Nails

I’ve been going to Cozy Nails for years. The staff are extremely friendly, they have a large selection of OPI and Essie polish. If you are looking for a long lasting shellac manicure, book an appointment with Lynn. She does a flawless job! She is great at doing designs! I’ve uploaded photos of her work — she is wonderful!
The salon is very clean. Complimentary smoothies are always yummy!

I think the service is great — it’s a very high end feeling for a reasonable price. Their pedicures are amazing with the mud foot wrap! My feet are very happy! The colour selection for polish is incredible and the application is strong — I wish they offered bio gel for nail repair other than the patches but either way, my broken nails are still in tact. More cuticle work could be done though, for me personally. Either way, great price, great service and make sure you get a smoothie!

Cozy Nails has declined recently. Went yesterday for mani pedi and the length of massages for each is much shorter now. Also the manicurist I had was Lynn. She was not paying attention to me half watching the movie on the Tv and she cut the cuticle deep. It is now infected. I knew it was hurting so I was already pulling away. Then she clipped one so deep. When I told her she just put antiseptic on it and when I told the owner I was not tipping because of it she just put more antiseptic still charged me for the manicure. Let’s just say never doing a mani there again.

Ever since i moved from uptown to downtown, i don’t go that often as much as before. But when I want to treat myself I make time for it and this is the place that I want to spend my money on it.
I ‘ve been this place for more than 5yrs.
The service is better but the price is the same as before.
I feel always cozy in this place.
There are so many drinks to choose, candies, magazines .etc
I cant wait to bring my daughter when she is old enough to get pedi & manicure.
If you live around that area then you are lucky!

Walked in once and was ignored for literally 20 minutes before being told they were too busy to serve me. And I mean ignored. They would walk past me and I would make a motion to say something or flag some attention and they would deliberately avoid looking at me and hustle by as quickly as possible. I was quite offended and will never return if it’s the last manicure shop on earth and surviving the apocalypse depends on having pretty nails.

I’m disappointed to say I had a few bad experiences and won’t be returning. This is how my most recent visit went:
I booked a Gehwol pedicure for my day off because I have really dry feet. Originally, looking at their website, I wanted to get the Allpresan pedicure but I was told on the phone that they don’t offer it anymore, so Gehwol it was.
My nail tech was very impatient and she was rather rough with me, turning my feet at weird angles to make it easier for her to work on. The cuticle pushing was also really aggressive.
Halfway through, she asked me if I booked a Gehwol pedi because I had INFECTIONS! What??? That’s what people book Gehwol pedis for? Was I sharing the same products with multiple strangers who’ve had infections?!
I said no, my feet are just dry…
You get to use a Gehwol brand foot soak, scrub, mask, and callous remover lotion. There were a few items in her basket that weren’t used on me — I don’t know why. However, the callous remover shouldn’t have been used on me because there were a few former cracks in my feet that were obviously still healing (sorry, TMI!). So it stung and wasn’t fun.
The massage was very short and just okay. Nobody offered me a drink until I asked for it even though it was a slow week day morning — and even then, I was made to feel like a nuisance. The foot mask wasn’t as minty and refreshing as their regular mint mask. Also, they put my feet in electric warmers, which would’ve been nice except the plastic edge was razor sharp and torn, and it painfully rubbed against my ankles.
The cream used on me was also super oily and rubbed all the way up to my knees. On my way home when I was sitting on the subway (and therefore closer to my legs), I hated the smell of my legs. The cream smelled good when she first applied it but as it settled in, it smelled like… the flesh of strangers. You know, like the smell of shared hair styling tools at hair salons? The fleshy smell of many strangers? That’s what it smelled like, and I made a beeline for my shower as soon as I got home to wash it (and all the grime that stuck to it) off.
I also chose to purchase two nail polishes in their display because one of them was a discontinued colour I’d been looking for and almost given up on. Plus there’s a sign on the rack that clearly said the OPI polishes were on sale for $ 6.50. I was charged $ 10 for each of them and I don’t know why. I was too taken aback (and still reeling from my crappy pedi) to speak up but I really should’ve said something.
Considering it takes me close to 40 minutes to get here from my place AND it’s a bit of a walk from the nearest subway station AND my last few experiences were unpleasant — oh, and it’s not as clean as before — I’m not coming back again.

Well I’ve been going here for a while now for my pedicures. I was going away on the Long weekend so I wanted a manicure (for the first time ever).
Let me just say it was a friggin travesty! I’m talking major garbage! I got the nails done on Friday and my Monday the cuticles were frayed beyond belief. Like you know that fray you get that gets inflamed? Yeah that type.
As an overall experience stick to their pedicures. DONT bother doing the manicures! Promise

I had a great time at cozy nails while I was relaxing in the massage chair watching a chick flick and getting my nails done. The problem is the quality has really gone downhill. None of my nails were shaped evenly. They were higher on the edges and lower in the middle. I don’t even know how that is possible. The next disappointing feature is my manicure began to chip within two hours of getting my nails done. I did nothing strenuous and the polish began to peel off. By the next morning it looked like my nails had been painted a week ago. I was really disappointed. The best part about my experience was the massage chair. I do a better job at filing and painting my nails than the girls at cozy. I was really disappointed. I had to repaint them as soon as I had time (two days later) as they looked hideous. :(

I went there this past saturday and was not impressed with the job that they did on my manicure. The lady did not shape my nails the same way and the polish started to chip off the same night.

My go-​to place for mani/​pedi. What I’m afraid most about nail salons is being unsanitary. This isn’t a problem here. They open up new packages of tools in front of you. Dispose buffers and nail files after each client. Plenty of colours to choose from whether it’s for regular mani/​pedi or shellac. Service is efficient and the girls are so friendly. They serve free smoothies/​tea/​lattes. Plenty of magazines. Movies are always playing. Best to make an appointment because they can get quite busy especially since they’re just right on Yonge St.

I’ve been to cheaper and more expensive nail salons all over the city and this is the best by far. Spotlessly clean, great manis and pedis and great treats. I’ve been going there for months now and won’t go anywhere else. I also like that they work on appointment system, and appointment times are honoured.

This place was horrible. I went to get a simple french manicure, and had to ask them to re-​do it 3 times! The first lady only did the tip white and painted ONE layer of top coat. THAT’S IT. I could have done that myself at home! Then they rush through it and left my nail with bumps. Asked her to do it twice, and same thing! She didn’t even give me a base layer. Disappointed, I refused to pay unless I had another lady correct it for me. Second lady was better, but still rushed through the job. Usually my manicure takes about an hour, this only took 20 mins. Started to chip a couple of hours later. Needless to say, I will never return to this place again. The free drink is hardly worth it for the rushed jobs and unclean working stations.
If you do go, ask for the younger looking manicurist, I think they are a little better.

Hey this place is not «cheap.»
There are tons of nail places where the going rate is $ 35 for a manicure and a pedicure.
If you pay more it’s a rip-​off — are drinks and candy worth the extra $$?

I came to this place after reading reviews online and brought my friend who was getting married the following day. After calling in for an appointment a couple of days earlier and requesting my friend and I get our mani/​pedi at the same time, I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best …
Since we arrived early, we got to pick our nail colours of their massive collection of Essie and OPI colours. They even had the newest collection from OPI to choose from!
The place was pretty busy for a late afternoon but it was clean and organized. They also had a senior’s discount so we saw some older ladies and gents. Although the employees weren’t chatty, it was fine since we were in our own conversation during our session (they did fulfill my request to have our nails done at the same time). As soon as we got into our big massage chairs, we were pampered from hand and foot. We weren’t offered a drink menu right away but when asked, they have a multiple paged menu to choose from and we thoroughly enjoyed our smoothie! Mentioned by other reviewers, there is no rush for you to leave right away and the dryer station with candy and chocolates helped pass the time.
Overall, we were happy with our session. I would definitely return again!

As an esthetician for 4 years I just went to cozy nails for fun a few months ago to get a pedicure and an upper lip wax.
I got my waxing done first because I didn’t want to stay red after leaving the place.
A lady came back yelling at the Asian lady that worked there saying she f’d up her eyebrows and I don’t let other people touch my eyebrows so it wasn’t a problem for me.
The thing is I’m really grossed out when people double dip and the lady that did my waxing double dipped=\
My pedicure was cheap but rushed.
They took tools out of a bag that looked clean but used a dirty nail file on me and I was very disappointed because people say they’re real clean.
I guess I’m the only one taking notice in these things.
It was a bad experience but I liked the smoothies?

Ok, this place looks great, gives out free drinks and candy and is neat with friendly staff. HOWEVER, if you are planning on getting your bio gels done here DONT GO.
I think they focus too much on being quick so the quality ends up being bad. They did not shave down the gel on my nails enough and now when I hold my finger out straight, sintead of my nail being perfectly straight (so it looks NATURAL) theres a bump where the gel begins which makes my nails look… poofy. All other nail places I went to took one hour to refill my nails properly and nicely… here the lady was 30 MINUTES. Im not in a rush when getting my nails done so dont rush the quality of my bio gels !
But I have to add, this was the cheapest place I ever went too to get a refill so if your just looking for a cheap place to really quickly get a fill, this is the place for you…

its one the greatest places for mani/​pedis. at $ 45 tax indluded (tip extra) — you cannot go wrong!
the pluses:
1. Price — great package compared to $ 60 for just pedicures at other salons.
2. Ambience — its a cute little place. So you wont get the serene zen like spa experience here — there are plenty of other places in the city with handomse price tags for those.
— massage chairs that face flat screen tvs with great movies playing all the time.
3. Perks:
— candy — many different kinds — at the dryer stations
— if they are slow they have no problems with you staying back and waiting until you are dry and ready to leave
— FREE SMOOTHIES AND TEA BAR **such a treat**
they bring a menu for you once you settle in
4. Sanitation
they use tools out of their packing everytime — its a big deal for me! i liek knowing that the tools they use are brand new and clean!
5. Selection
— they must carry EVERY OPI and Essie colour there is to use then or to purchase as well
— they also carry Dermalogica skin care products — altought those are at really high prices
6. Staff
really great! nice and friendly and do a great job! They know their colours and can find you whatever you’re looking for!
suggestion — do make an appointment — they are usually busy!

Have been going to do my mani pedi there few years ago and the service was okay. Nothing very special but not bad either. The suff was very friendly and nice. As I dont live close there anymore, its definatelly not the place where to return.

I’m very happy I waited till I could get an appointment to get my pedicure here! I decided to get the rawearth, which includes a 4-​step exfoliation and a marine-​algae foot masque.
Now, my feet are even softer! My feet are already soft, a fact commented by pedicure ladies, ex-​s and the boyfriend. But with the summer season upon us, I decided to treat them with a special exfoliating and hydrating spa pedicure.
It is well worth it!
I liked the white, tiled décor, the uniforms with name tags of the attendants, the fact they could speak English and it made it easier for me to communicate with them too, the hygienic stations and the complimentary drink.
The girl did a great job and I will be coming back for my pedicures. Now, if only I could find a similar exfoliating and deep hydrating manicure…

I’ve been here many times for pedicures and they do an awesome job!
I’ve never had an issue with cleanliness and the staff is very nice!
They have a large complimentary drink menu and Korean ginger tea that is quite tasty!
They show movies to keep you entertained :)
