Aydin’s Nails & Spa

I was very impressed with this nail salon. I came in mid afternoon hoping to get a mani/​pedi done before class. When I arrived, I was taken to the pedicure area immediately. They also have a great selection of shellac and nail polish colours!
After I sat down and had my feet soaking in the tub, one of the ladies offered me bottled water and turned the massage chair on for me. I relaxed while one lady did my pedicure and another lady did my manicure, at the same time.
Usually when I get regular nail polish on my nails, it chips off the same day. Mine lasted for over a week, which never happens for me. My pretty pink shellac toes still look fabulous as well!
I highly recommend this place. It’s a quiet, clean spa and all the staff are very friendly. I received the princess treatment here. I would definitely return.

My husband and I received gift certificates for Christmas from friends of ours to Aydin’s and it was a great experience. The staff is friendly and happy and I am so happy with how my nails turned out. My husband had a great first pedicure. I will definitely be going there again and will recommend to my family and friends.

I also have a love hate relationship with this place. Sometimes is great, other times it’s crappy. My fiancée and I went last night to get manicures for the wedding. We got there at 6:30 and it was closing at 7:30. I got a shellac manicure so it took longer. I explained it was for a wedding and that I wanted to make sure it was done well. She applied the coat of polish and I could see lumps from where the filed nailed didn’t get taken off. I asked her to fix it and she did but feel this is something she should have caught, it was very obvious I wasn’t just being high maintenance. My fiancée finished earlier then me and because we were so close to closing they skipped several steps in the manicure message that I saw my fiancée get just to be done sooner. I was also asked to pay while I was still being worked on. Because of this I tipped what I thought I was getting which was the same treatment as my partner which didn’t happen. I have been here over a dozen times and the inconsistency is enough for me. I wont’ be back.

Tried this place twice since my 1^st appt didn’t go well and thought I would give them another chance– big mistake! The guy at the counter, according to the girls who work there is the owner. He is just horrible and honestly should never deal with customers. He is so creepy and if you are some what attractive, be prepared for some pathetic flirting. Gross!!! Thank goodness he did not do my nails, otherwise I would have walked out. I had a great lady do my shellac manicure. She was sweet, professional and most of all took pride in her work. She did a great job on my nails. I gave her a great tip at her station for a job well done. When I went to pay at the counter, I advised the creepy owner I would be paying cash Since most places offer a discount when doing so. He advised me it was $ 45 + gst for a shellac manicure. I was a bit stumped and surprised since on average I pay $ 24-​$ 30 at other salons in the area for the same service. No discount ether? I wasn’t going to debate with him, so just paid so I could get out of there. If I didn’t have to encounter the owner I would give this place 4 stars but he really ruins the experience. Won’t be back for an over priced manicure or to deal with this creep. This place won’t get a 3^rd chance. Beware.

I have a love hate relationship with this salon. I have been going since it opened. They have a Ton of colours, I always get gel and full colour. If I get one of the women my nails are durable but uneven. It’s a very hit and miss for me. Sometimes I love the nails and other times they are too thin, too thick, or you can see through the colour. I love that they fix your nails for free if there is a problem. And I love the location.
Ok here’s the kicker though… The owner (the man there) is so rude to me, cuts me, burns me, and generally acts like I don’t exist But if a beautiful woman walks in he is all charm urgh. He yells at me to grab a chair like I’m in a rodeo and not a spa and never gives me time to pick my colour (even if I show up early for my appointment). Also he is extremely vulgar. Once he even told me I wished I had a penis! Seriously I just want to relax for an hour and have pretty nails.
So in conclusion I’m desperate to find a place close that treats the client better and does quality work. I’m tired of the owners crapy attitude the inconsistency of my nails.

Not impressed as I walked in, the chap behind the desk did not explain to me that he wanted me to pick a colour and just shouted at me from behind the desk my seat was ready for my pedicure after about 10 mins. I did not move so he came to speak to me, at that point it got much better. I had a lovely girl called Tina, ever so polite and she is the first person who hasn’t taken my cuticles too far back, so she didn’t hurt me or make me bleed. The hot towels and stones were lovely and I had a good massage on my legs. The finish on the polish is fantastic and then she did some nail art, very talented. After that I had my eyebrows tidied up absolutely no complaints. The atmosphere in the place was relaxing and I would certainly go back, but next time I will defo book as I want Tina again.

Decided to try it despite the reviews because it is across the street from my house. They charge $ 5 more for a shellac polish change than Sunshine nails, but I am noticing that most places seem to be about $ 25. Sunshine is quite cheap being $ 20.
I didn’t have an appointment but they fit me in right away. They have the largest colour selection I have ever seen. They give you 5 rings stuffed full of the fake nail slides or whatever they are called. It is much nicer than trying to stare at a wall and pick a colour. The girl was quite slower than what I am used to, but in the end it looked great.
Will be back to try other services.

This business recently opened up in Royal Oak and I was very glad for it.
The space is large, clean and there were enough employees working to accommodate my walk-​in on a bleary, snowy weekday.
I went in for a pedi and I have had my share in this city. Some places I will not go back to to various reasons.
I would possibly return to this «spa» but I will make a few pointers:
The massage chairs are great and the ladies seem well trained and speak/​understand English.
I did not see any of the chatter about any customers by staff as sometimes you see or feel in other places.
Parking is free but limited in this new lot that is full of construction vehicles but this should die down once the whole plaza is up and running.
My pedi spa worker was very nice but very strong to the point of being rough. I was not as relaxed as I could have been, was on the edge of my seat as she was hurting me throughout. I did not want to hurt her feelings or make a big deal of it so I just kept reminding her that I had sensitive feet as she kept asking me if I was ok. This did not ease her harsh filing, razoring, or leg scrub exfoliate treatment. OUCH!
I left my normal, decent tip but I was sore from a too deep trim of one of my toenails. It has been a day and still hurts like hell.
The owner is male, dresses in gym clothes and was eating something between appointments at the front desk where you pay. Point being — this is a very casual place. They will offer you a tea or water when you walk in. I had ordered a tea but never saw it!
This is a first time review of this place so you can see for yourself should this spa suit your needs/​location.
I have no axe to grind with this business but cannot see myself rushing back in a few weeks for a re-​do.
