Review from Minna E.
Vancouver, BC
1/23/2012
I had a coupon for the gel nail polish manicure, and I'm going to break the experience down:
-the "manicure" part: the nail tech was way too vigorous with the skin removing, which caused my fingers to hurt for a few days afterwards. my manicure looked pretty awful for the first few days in fact because the skin around the nails was so red and irritated.
-the gel polish: I am in love with gel polish! I know it's not the healthiest long term thing, but it looks great and it's perfect for someone like me who is notoriously scratch/ding prone. I will definitely be getting gel polish done from now on. The only negative is getting gel polish off, which is apparently very difficult on your own.
-the "paraffin wax" treatment: I stuck my hands in super hot wax and then had baggies put over my hands, which is pretty standard. But then instead of inviting us to sit down on the pedicure chairs or something, the three techs left us to sit on the pedicure chairs themselves and chat while me and my two friends sat awkwardly in the manicure section. It was kind of bizarre and definitely did not make us feel like we were in a "vacation environment" as the ad suggested.
Overall, now my nails look great so i've given three stars out of five, because even though the experience itself was mediocre, I do respect the quality of the outcome. -

I've been going to Sassy for about 8 years now. Philip and his staff are attentive, friendly, and, most of all, skilled at what they do. I've been to places, like Pure Nail bar, where you're treated like cattle. At Sassy, you're made to feel welcome, not rushed. When you get a mani or pedi, you get an actual hand/leg massage!
Prices are very comparable to other salons, and they have specials on throughout the year. The shop is spic and span, and regularly updated..,and they have fantastic shiatsu pedi-chairs and a huge selection of OPI polish, as well as other brands.
By appointment and walk-in, and they also book parties! -

I booked mani/pedi appointments for myself and a friend. Not only did we feel like we were being scrubbed, but our appointments were very rushed and they made my finger bleed. I am also fairly certain I could do a better manicure on myself with my eyes closed. Actually had to ask them to remove the nail polish from my hands because it was so bad. This was not a relaxing experience. The salon was very clean and tidy, and I was happy with how my pedicure turned out, but I will not be back.

I live closeby so I though I would try it. My first visit was weird...the 2 girls working were taking about REALLY inappropriate things. I got acrylics done and they looked like chiclets. I went home and filled them down.
My second visit I had a fill and a pedi. My fill was very good (I requested a different technician)...Philip the owner did it. He is good but expensive compared to other Viet salons. My pedi was awful (Amy did it) I asked for nail art and it looked like a little kid did it. I didn't say anything because I felt bad that she spent so much time doing it. I went home and re-painted them myself.
I will never go back there again. Other good cheap Viet salons closeby are Modern Nails (Burrard and 1st ave.) and Sparkle Nails (Broadway and Oak). Both do a very good job and are very detailed. -

I visited this salon after purchasing a social shopper coupon like 2000 other folks. I've been to many salons over the years to do mani/pedis and this one was by far the WORST, so much that I felt compelled to write a review.
They rush you into the chair, they rush the service. It took approximately 30 min to do a mani/pedi combined. Not only that, the lady doing my mani cut my cuticles (on 2 fingers) so badly that it wouldn't stop bleeding. She then blamed it on the fact that my cuticles were dry and that it was my fault for not keeping up with manicures regularly. 10 days later and my cuticles are still not healed.
There is no ventilation AT ALL, you will leave with a headache.
I definitely WILL NOT be returning here. -

I definitely did not enjoy my time here. I was rushed into a chair and left for quite some time. There was no interaction from the several different technicians that just cycled through. One day after getting my mani it started chipping off. Five days later it was all gone. I returned and asked them to fix it and they were going to charge me for it!!! For their crap job! I won't be back.
