Nancy's Nails

I have been getting my nails done all around Barrie since my late teens and at 25 I have never bled so much from one finger. The technician pointed out I had a hang nail (no where near my cuticles), and that was why my finger had started bleeding when she was cutting back my cuticles. My cuticle bed bled for 5-7 minutes to the point where I started to get worried. I know mistakes happen and decided to keep trusting her as she did apologize and seemed worried as well. The bleeding wouldn't stop, she kept putting this blue liquid substance on my nail from what resembled an eye drop bottle (i'm guessing its supposed to help as she never told me what she was doing or what it was for). She continued on doing my other nails as I talked with my friend, checking and cleaning my finger in between each nail with no signs of the bleeding slowing down. I continued on socializing with my friend as the technician asks me to put my hand in uv light (I was getting a shellac manicure), when I brought my hand out of the uv light there was blood all under my base coat. The technician wiped my finger and there was STILL blood on the paper towel, clearly showing signs that my cuticles were still bleeding. The technician then continued to paint colored polish over the cuts on my bleeding cuticle, that she put there! The nail polish came off today (1 week after getting them done), I though it was extremely odd as the rest of my nails are fine. Upon further inspection of my nail, I have blood stains around the base of my nail and scabs all along my cuticle showing where I was cut. This is no where even near where the technician pointed out my "hangnail" (in photo). This is enough evidence to further prove that my nail was not clean and did not stop bleeding before being painted over with chemicals. All this didn't bother me until today. My main point of this review is to point out.. THE TECHNICIAN TOUCHED MY BLOOD WITH THE PAINT BRUSH AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN THE BOTTLE, THEN BACK ON THE SHELF FOR THE NEXT CUSTOMER. All implements that may abrade or clip superficial skin should be immersed in an Environmental Protection Agency-approved disinfectant for at least 10 minutes and disinfected after each use, may I mention the cuticle clippers when right back in her drawer after wiping it off with a piece of paper towel. And the Blue liquid bottle touched my cuticle to be applied. Now.. thankfully I'm not. BUT! What if I was HIV positive, what if I had hepatitis that is transferable through blood or had some other blood borne pathogen.. To further note the technician charged me full amount with an additional $5 for chrome on two fingers. I will never be going back to this place again and will be sharing my story to make others aware of the cleanliness and health and safety procedures this technician had. I do not know her name but fully expect every technician within a company to be fully trained and liable.

Always friendly and do an awesome job. Always go here for all my nail care and got a super awesome eye brow wax

The gentleman that did my nails took his time to ensure they would look amazing! He was very careful during the whole process. Very happy with the results

Absolutely awful experience, I got a shellac manicure and to start off she cut my cuticles which you are not supposed to do! While cutting my cuticles she cut my skin and made me bleed everywhere. She then did not dehydrate my nails before applying a base coat. From there everything went fine except for all of the unsanitary tools used...until 6 days later when my nail polish is now cracking and chipping off after 6 DAYS!!! I can do my own shellac nails at my house and it will last a lot longer then these. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED ?

The whole salon is beautiful and Thu is without a doubt the best nail tech I’ve ever been to. She never disappoints!

I've been looking for a nail salon for months and I finally found one that 1) clean 2) knows their products 3) gentle 4) detail oriented. The lady who did mine was very focused and almost a perfectionist. Totally suggest will be returning

The WORST experience ever. I booked an appointment with a MONTH in advanced with Thu, I found her profile on Instagram “Nailzbythu” thinking she is an independent tech but she’s not. After that, she asked for the design ideas and I sent them to her, all good till there. A week before the day, I texted her to confirm my appointment and apparently she forgot, but I could show up after she changed the time many times. So before she started, she is letting me know she CAN’T do the design I sent to her, but okay, we changed it, I gave her a chance. Next, to shape the mail she use a scissors and CUT my finger, immediately started bleeding and then she’s like “relax your fingers” while filing the nails but well hoooow? It hurts. She didn’t care it all. So, I just decided to let her finish, but again more surprises. She finished a NEW SET of acrylics in AN HOUR! She left acrylic all over my fingers and cuticles, my nails hurts me!!! Terrible!!!! Not the long I wanted, not the design, not the color. Don’t go there, I will rate them a 0 if I could.

My hand was burning from the amount of nail stuff she put on my nails and I told her 5 times it was hurting and she kept telling me to ignore it and that she will “go back and fix it” despite it hurting so much I couldn’t sit still. And she got mad at me for not being still when she’s hurting me!!! AND my nails are ruined from the thick nails she gave me. They took a month for the nails to be ready to come off and my best friends FELL OFF two weeks prior to when I had to force mine off. I’m not satisfied and I do NOT recommend going to this nail salon. If I could give 0 stars I would The outcome of my nails are below!!!! DO NOT suggest going to this nail salon they will RUIN your nails
