I had a wonderful mani/pedi at this sweet lil' nail salon. It's just down the street from New West Skytrain station and I had no problem getting an appointment for the same day I called. And while I was there, they seemed to get a lot of walk-ins, too.
It was tres cheap ($30 for pedi, $20 for mani) and in no way did I feel rushed. In fact, counting the drying period - "OK, sit, relax," the nail tech insisted - I was there for well over an hour and half. I sat in the craziest massage chair ever throughout the whole thing, which included foot and hand massages, a skin softening treatment on my hands, nail and cuticle trimming, and of course, polish.
Despite my best efforts, I did muss the polish job on the way home, but for the most part, the colour is still going strong a full week later. Speaking of colour, I love the colour on my toes - OPI number 78! I remember this because while I was drying, another lady came in, saw my colour, and insisted on having it as well. How cool was that?
What I liked best about April Nail Spa was the friendly neighbourhood feel, from the sweet nail techs to people in the next chair you could strike up a conversation with. I don't know, but maybe the sunny yellow walls have something to do with it - or maybe it's that they don't have those goofy pictures on the wall like Pure Nail Bar.
I'm making this the new rescue center for turning my battered digits into lady hands and purty feet.Listed in: Bright Lights, Royal City

As I am want to do on summer days, I decided I needed a spontaneous, emergency pedicure over lunch while at work today. I went to my Trusty Yelp and found this was one of few pedicure places near me, and although the reviews are not stellar "There were streaks, the coats were uneven, there wasn't a proper topcoat,..." etc. I rolled the dice, rolled up my pants, and walked on over.
First, I love those massage chairs! I've had a few pedi's in establishments without them and I always feel robbed. I got a bottom coat, 2 colour coats, and a "proper" topcoat as well as a sea-salt exfoliator and a nice foot massage. The lower leg massage was a bit weak, bit I'm sure I could have asked for more pressure, so, My Bad.
All this for $30 on a moment's notice, and my toes look fab! I'll see how long it lasts, but I'm a fan already! -

OK, so I went here for my first bikini wax ever. I almost died. I am not sure if it's suppose to hurt that bad but getting my tattoos and nose pierced hurt less than getting a bikini wax. The lady was nice though and very informative. Although I did feel like she thought I wasn't taking good enough care of my skin lol. I also got my eyebrows waxed here and she did a good job but again, I felt like it was my fault I have sensitive skin that turns tomatoe red when waxed lol. I will say that it's competitive in price and about a block away from the skytrain, so it's convenient but the comfort level wasn't the best.
