Beau Nail

Working in the ICC does not afford many options for a decent, quick lunchtime manicure. This relatively new shop fills the void. A mani-​pedi combo was completed in 45 minutes — great selection of polishes, clean, and most importantly, conveniently located next to Airport Express. It was a little expensive for what it was and could have used a nicer massage given the price, but I think the convenience wins out. I would return.

There’s nail salons and nail salons, this one the nail technicians do a great job.
I’ve been coming to Beau Nail for 8 years, following all their moves from upstairs on the podium level, then down to the 1^st level and then another move on the other side of the 1^st level of IFC.
I keep coming back, I’ve tried the nail salon upstairs, local ones in Happy Valley, expensive ones as part of hair treatments at Four Seasons and I always come back to Beau Nail.
Forget the chairs and magazine selections — meh.
You keep going back because your nails are clean and shaped the way YOU want them, not because the technician wants them. They know how to polish and recommend new colors that you might be interested in.
Each finger is evenly cut, each toe is evenly cut. Not one shaped oval the other square, the polish doesn’t look like you did it yourself.
They scrape the calluses off your feet so they are soft and tender as your feet should be even though you may have been walking on grit or wood floors for days.
The price isn’t the cheapest. But, neither is it at the other salons. What you pay for is polish that doesn’t yellow your nails, matching nails and they remember how you like your nails done each time.
