Best Nail Salons In Ottawa

“Smudge Beauty Bar is simply phenomenal! The staff is kind and knowledgeable and they always go above and beyond to ensure excellence in client service. The “spa-like” environment is free from any toxic fumes that we often find in nail salons. For me, this is especially important because it means I enjoy fully the experience and do not come down with a headache or migraine as a result of being exposed to these fumes. The hot wax treatment at the end of a manicure-pedicure is absolutely divine! Your hands and feet/legs come out “soft as a baby’s bottom”, as the saying goes.<br><br>I have had the best experience with Hanna, Isabelle and Ellie. You are all equally amazing and truly a blessing! Thank you for making me pretty and oh so happy! You are the best!“

“I usually love this place. They definitely do a great job for nails. But it’s been frustrating when i book appointments they never fall through. I can admit i do book the day off but it’s usually a couple hours notice. Sometimes a girl has a nail emergency ! Great nails and always do a good job but would hope the organization to improve. If it’s too booked up i’d prefer a “sorry we don’t have room” compared to calling me an hour before i leave to cancel my appointment.“

“My children gave me and elemental facial for my birthday. This was the best facial I have ever experienced. Meryann was very professional and treated me the entire time.<br>Very grateful for such a great service.“

“I always got a natural set with faux mink lashes for the perfect "are they real or are they extensions" look. I recently moved, so I can no longer benefit from Elizabeth's incredible lash tech skills and immense kindness. She is such a lovely person and takes her work so seriously! I miss you already ? Don't think twice, Her Esthetician is the place to go!“

“I went to see Shanna for the first time for an eyebrow wax and tint and I was so happy with the result!! Her studio is so clean and she made me feel so at ease with her professionalism, expertise and warm demeanour!“

“I enjoy the aesthetic staff here. Always do a great job on my lash lift and tint and waxing.<br><br>Stylist: Paige and Derrick - fantastic“

“Nails salon is clean. Professional and friendly staff. I highly recommend getting your nails at this location.“

“I’ve been going to Nail Bar for almost two years for dip manicures. They offer simple and convenient online booking, bright, clean and friendly environment, and a huge selection of colours. Noi always does an exceptional job with my nails. She clearly takes a lot of pride in her work and I leave with a beautiful set every time. The technicians are very kind and are always happy to offer suggestions if I’m undecided on what colour to do next. After having an accident and breaking a nail one day in December, I called the salon and they slotted me in for a quick appointment to repair it. I was so thankful they could see me at such a busy time of year. With a quick, careful and precise extension repair, my nails were back to flawless as always.“

“What a gem in the heart of Vanier… great ambience, Tammy is really professional and listen to your need, she has a big heart and is not afraid to go above and beyond to provide excellence in her line of work… she is always looking t improve her services by seeking workshops and extra courses to provide up to date services. Thank You Tammy“

“I just got my gel nails done by Sophia. She was amazing, gentle, and knew exactly what I wanted before I said it! Every tech is good at phi “

“I've been coming to La Crystal for quite a few years now. Never have I been disapointed, and ALWAYS so happy.<br>But let me tell you.<br>I got into an accident where I got pretty banged up, I DID NOT break a single nail!<br><br>10/10 recommend, I would never go anywhere else &lt;3“

“First time visit for powder nails with Tony. He did a great job - very professional and they look awesome. I will return.“

“I was introduced to this spa right before Christmas 2023. After my first service, I was hooked. The pride in delivering excellence shines in every service. From eyebrows to manicures to pedicures to more, attention to detail and client satisfaction are top of mind. Keep it up, ladies!“

“I LOVE this salon. The girls there are so meticulous and detail oriented-they take their TIME and it shows. I am always so happy with their work and I walk away feeling so good! I have tried many salons in many cities and this is my favorite. They are wonderful and I will absolutely continue to go here! Cannot recommend it enough ?“

“I had such a great experience at Nova Nails! The nail artist is incredibly skilled and did perfect work on my nails. She listened to what I wanted and brought it to life even better than I imagined. I felt completely safe and comfortable the whole time, and the quality is fantastic—my nails still look flawless days later. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely be back!“

“Thank you Steve in tools .<br>Check it out .<br>Sand it lightly. Clean .put on the tiles<br>Et voila .“

“Ive been going to the Ottawa MediSPA - Trainyards for the past year. The Atmosphere is inviting, super modern with soft lighting and soothing music. The staff were all Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I see Felicia as my Esthetician for Oxygenao Facials, Pedicures and nose waxing. I have to say the oxygenao facial is so enjoyable and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowing every time. I also see Mimi for Laser hair removal for my back and shoulder. I love my results. The Estheticians made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire experience. I Highly recommend this spa for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.“

“Amazing experience at Meta. From the wonderful greeting to the excellent service Meta is fantastic. The atmosphere is soothing and the treatment beds are so comfortable! Emilie was great at explaining everything and answering all my questions. I highly recommend Meta!“

“I was recommended this salon by another lady in a similar position as me. I’ve had a bad habit of biting my nails for years and decided it was time to fix this issue and grow my nails back!<br><br>Yen was able to create the most beautiful set of nails on what I came in with; which was barely a base. She spent nearly 2 hours taking care of me and was non judgmental the entire time. I’ll be returning to see her forsure.“

“As I am now in the process of leaving Ottawa West, I remember when Estetica was located downtown in the Elgin/Slater area since the haircuts were just fantastic! Probably the best ones I ever received in my entire life, while the manager/owner was a classy Italian gentleman who employed high quality female professionals. Jay Sebring along with Vidal Sassoon both knew that hairstyling was an art form, yet regrettably few salons in existence today that can cut and style hair in a most unique creative manner.“

“Lily did the lashes for my wedding and she did an incredible job. I was very nervous about getting lash extensions, but she was so quick and gentle. The whole experience wasn’t stressful at all. My eyelashes looked perfect for my wedding day!“

“AMAZING!!! I love the outcome of these nails. Chloe did such a good job. amazing service! will definitely come back regularly for sure. ??“

“My first time coming to Getty beauty spa, and was pleasantly surprised. There was parking on the side of the street out front and the spa is in the back. Was a bit skeptical at first, but she came out and greeted me and brought me to the spa area through the back. Super friendly, very professional, everything looked and smelled VERY clean and disinfected. Nice ambiance. Getty (Prounounced Jetty) pays attention to detail at a granular level, it was unreal.I went for a mani/pedi and up treating myself to a full spa day. I initially booked a mani pedi loved it soo much, she gave me a price list upon arrival and I stayed for a massage, chemical peel facial, underarm wax plus first time getting a paraffin wax treatment on my feet.Mani was on point. She cleaned up my cuticles and took the time not like some places. Gave my nails a really nice treatment. Colour was neutral and it's been a couple weeks already and still looks fresh. You definitely get what you pay for.Pedi same, I had some ingrown nails and she fixed me right up, took her time. Favorite part of the pedi was the lower leg massage ? Music was a nice touch. The massage was an hour, not RMT but worth every penny. She included the "aromatherapy choice" of essential oil and I have always paid an extra $20 for that. I got this citrus scent and nearly fell asleep. Plus she used like 4 hot towels, 1 after each part was done which felt Amazing!!! No place does that.My first paraffin wax treatment ever. It was only $8 quite hot initially but the heat quickly subsided and prehistoric looking feet were smooth as ever. This is totally normal, I looked it up. Seriously get this treatment, it's worth it.I had a chemical peel facial and Getty explained everything as she was doing it. It takes about 45-50 minutes, she doesn't rush and felt luxurious. I have sensitive skin so I a bit weary, been to a couple of places and have had adverse reactions. All of her products were gentle on my skin, no burning, no redness after. Plus she did the neck and decolleté area too!!! Wow! Looked smooth, less pronounced lines and smoother skin. Totally worth it.For the underarm waxing, she used small strips and it was much less painful than expected.I have been to many spas and salons. Getty made me feel comfortable, she explained everything that she was doing. She knows what she is talking about with her cute little accent. Would definitely recommend. So happy I found this place. She also has some package options and plans if you like it upon request. Most likely gonna get the 6month package next time I'm there.“

“I was in town and needed a full set and pedi done. So glad I found this place. They were open and taking clients after 7:45pm. I was surprised to learn that the nail salons in ottawa close early in certain parts of town. In fact another nail salon recommended me to this place lol. Joe did my nails and did an amazing job. She was patient, pleasant, funny, and although I was the last client, she didn't rush me. My nails turned out beautiful. I received so many compliments on my nails and feet. Thank you also to the woman at the register who stayed behind to ensure that I knew how to return to my hotel safely because I was traveling from out of the country with no phone reception. Thank you very much!“

“Very clean and well equipped. I went for the first time and was very pleased with the cut I received from Dan, I will be going back!“
