Toronto, ON M6P 2A1
(416) 766-9988
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: The Junction
I absolutely love this place, and feel very lucky to live close by - have been there a few times. They offer both shellac and axxium (not too many colors, though) for reasonable prices, all spa pedicure chairs are connected to IPad devices, recently…More »

Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
Parlour is a great salon with awesome music playing (did you know Beck's "Everybody's gotta learn sometime" is a version from a 30-year-old song by The Korgis? They played the original!) and great, great hair stylists.
I was feeling adventurous and…More »

Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Small spot hidden on Dudas, I found this after trying to get a haircut on Evoke like crazy ("sorry, we're booked for the next 4 days"). I don't have time (or patience) for salons like this, and I decided to give Prive a try.
Amazing surprise. All the…More »
4. NAILSENSE
This is probably the BEST NAILS SALON I'VE EVER BEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE OMG AWESOME BBQ!!!111
It's beautiful, the staff treats you like you're a member from the Royal Family, the girls are so cute it hurts.
And what about the mani/pedi? First, they have…More »
5. Pearl Nails and Spa
Toronto, ON M6P 1Z2
(416) 767-7788
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: The Junction
After the summer, half of the staff is gone and, with them, the good service I was used to.
Kim is working mostly by herself - with one or two new girls - and tries hard, but it's almost impossible to maintain a salon alone. You can see she's always…More »

After some bad experiences with cheap salons on Dundas W, I decided to try Pearl. I have to be… Read more »

(416) 760-8888
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: The Junction
Worst salon I've ever been in my life. The "L" in the name made me mistake this place for Lucy Nails, also in Dundas West, and I asked if they were free for a mani/pedi. "Yes we are, pick a color and take a seat"
It was very hot inside, and the girl…More »
7. Nice One Nails
This place is dirty, the girls barely pay attention at you (because they are too busy chatting with each other - and loud!), you can see polish stains in the walls and chairs.
My manicurist didn' t even ask my name, did a 15 minute job without…More »
8. Ritual Spa
Toronto, ON M5V 1N4

Categories:
Nail Salons,
Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: Niagara
I went to Ritual for Shellac Manicure. Shellac is everything you ever dreamed of. I waited two weeks before reviewing and my nails still have a mirror finish and no sign of chip. And they're bright red! That's awesome!
The girl who did my shellac…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
I've been a lush lover since they opened their first store in Brazil. I'm CRAZY about bath, and Lush can turn your bath into SOMETHING.
Then, they ceased their Brazilian operations. I was orphaned, and thought I was never going to have a bath bomb…More »
11. Beauty Line
I should have believed the reviews I've read here! I thought "IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD" and went for a lunchtiime manicure.
Cheap is the best word to define them. They offer like a dozen colors of polish in a cheap display, use cheap equipment (eeew),…More »

Categories:
Hair Removal,
Tanning,
Day Spas
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
This is not a very deep and intense review because my relationship with California Sun Spa was more like a one night stand (or 15-minute stand).
I usually wax my eyebrows at another neighbour salon, but today I could not get an appointment and went…More »

Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I expected more when I saw lots of people waiting for a cut there. I should have checked at yelp before. Silly me. At least my hair grows pretty fast.
I didn't wait more than a minute and asked for something really short and fancy, layered. The guy…More »
14. Henry Le & Tu Nguyen O A Nails 4 You
First attempt of having manicure in Canada. It worked better than I expected. I did not have to make an appointment, but the lady could barely speak english.
Pros: all the colours of OPI polish you could imagine. I chose a default dark red to look…More »

I gave Janina another chance for a facial a couple of months ago and now I am hooked. She is, indeed, my esthetician of choice. Already came back a couple of times, with good results, and now I signed up for her microdermabrasion sessions.
She needs…More »

Nail Salons

Amazing staff, great service, 25 for mani/pedi and painless waxing! You can't go wrong! Only loses a star for being cash-only, I like to use debit. But anyway, this is my new favourite salon, SPECIALLY regarding price/value.
Lucy is a great person…More »

Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
They are cheap. And that's all I can say. Don't even think about getting their shellac - it's NOT shellac, it's something else, and it will peel off a few days later. If you come back and complain, they will CHARGE you for another shellac - as absurd…More »
18. Hammam Spa
First of all, I'd like to observe I didn't have any "spa service" there. I went for a shellac manicure just because it's across the street from my work - super convenient.
It's a beautiful, super clean, well decorated spa. They will treat you like a…More »
19. Body Blitz Spa
It took me a while to be able to book a massage at Body Blitz. They are very busy during the week, although they close at 8pm, they don't book massages later than 6 - meaning, if you work 9-5, it gets really, really hard to enjoy the water circuit -…More »
