Magic Nails

They are very thorough. They don’t skip out on any of the things you want… Scrub, massage, hot stones, hot towels, tea, coffee. Great place to relax.

I phoned in the morning with no appointment and I was able to get in within half an hour. this is the first time I have ever gone and got my nails done There and this was by far the best place I have ever been too. I got gel acrylic nails and they turned out great she understood exactly what I was looking for and they were $ 60. instead of having a rack of nail polish to pick from they have swatches of Al other nail polish they have and it’s very helpful seeing what the colour actually turns out to be. definitely going back and making this my nail salon that I will always come too. It’s super clean and they are very nice and professional asking if you want water or such, no other salon asked me if I wanted a drink. Very satisfied.

The service my mom and I experienced at Magic Nails was bad enough that we will not return.
We called ahead of time and made an appointment, and arrived on time. Someone else walked in after us without an appointment and wanted a manicure. We were seated for our pedicure, and one of the ladies started working on my mom’s feet. Within a minute, the manager redirected her to give the other customer a manicure before my mom’s pedicure.
My mom waited 15 minutes for the lady to finish the customer without the appointment.
The pedicures themselves were fine. However, when they were finished, both employees walked away from us, we assumed, while our paint dried, although they never said anything to us. They never came back. 20 minutes later, my mom and I had to peel our toe separators off our feet ourselves, get out of our chairs with bare feet, find our shoes and put them on without damaging our nails. No one even acknowledged us. The lady only got out of our seat when we went to the front to pay.
We were not the only ones this happened to. While we were there, someone else walked in without an appointment and was offered immediate service. Several minutes later, someone with an appointment came in, the staff acknowledged her AND that she had an appointment, and she waited 20 minutes past her appointment time before she was helped.
I was in town visiting my family, but have been to Magic Nails several times with my mom and other friends. My mom, who lives in Calgary, will not be returning to Magic Nails. Serving a customer without an appointment, especially one that arrived AFTER one with an appointment is not acceptable. When you pay over $ 40 for a service, it needs to be done properly. I have received far better service for a lower price elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Friendly staff. Walk-​ins welcome. Good price. Great leg massage included with pedicure.

I came here to get my very first Brazilian wax which was a mistake. I done it on a whim because I couldn’t get in anywhere else. I didn’t do my research on this place beforehand, stupid me for going to a nail salon for a Brazilian wax but why would they even offer a service without proper technique? Anyways, the first girl that was going to take me was very hesitant and looked scared so I asked her if she’s done this before and she admitted to only doing it two times. At that point, I was going to leave and I regret not doing so. This other girl came in and seemed confident so I caved. She didn’t use anything to clean my area, she didn’t wear gloves, and she was double dipping into the wax pot! I work in a hair salon and I took a basic waxing course so I kind of have basic knowledge on how to wax. Red flags were going up the whole time and I wanted to leave but didn’t want to cause a scene. It was extremely painful I almost cried afterwards. I will never go back there, next time I will go somewhere like Frilly Lilly that specializes in Brazilians, or I’ll do it myself lol.

Just got gels done there for my first time and they were great! They were able to fit me in on the same day. The woman (really wish I got her name) took her time and even offered me a drink. They looked so natural and did a really nice job. I will absolutely go back there for a fill ($ 60 for full set UV gels and $ 40 for UV gel fills).

So happy with my bio gel mani. I had previously had a «gel» mani done before, but it turns out it was really acrylic (when they mix gel and powder, run!!). Their technique is with an acrylic extension with a layer of gel on top, and it works. I was apprehensive because I hate the idea of acrylic tips, but really it’s more gel than anything.
It took a little getting used to — my nails felt really brittle and «too fake» when I left, but I’ve since adjusted and am used to the feeling. It’s a lot more natural feeling and looking, not to mention decently strong. I work with my hands a lot so I am concerned about lifting or breaking.

Beside BMW, in the same plaza as RBC.
I had never been to this «salon» before but was here out of sheer convenience and the $ 40 pedi pricetag.
The name is actually Magic Nails and Spa but this is NOT a spa.
I would come back here but only if it was the only nail place in all of Calgary.
I walked in, 330pm on a weekday, staff was just working on each other. Hmm. Was asked to pick out my nail colour while they filled a tub for me and they were nice enough to get me a bottle of water. I was trying to figure out how clean this place was. It seemed OK in that regard.
The pedi I got was average. No frills. When the pedi was done, I asked the girl I had if she would please put a top coat on. She said she would. Then she went off for a half hour to help someone else in the salon while I dried. When she finally came back to me, I asked her again if she would apply a top coat to which she replied that she had already.
??? Nooo, you did not, wth? I let it go, paid, cringed to give 15% out of sheer obligation to not get hexed on the way out and left, vowing not to return.
Now, I get to do my own top coat so my nails are not wrecked in a day!
1 star added for the massage chair.

This place is great!
Ive been getting my nails done (Acrylic) for about 2 years now, and I just recently tried out Magic Nails now that Ive moved up to the North West. My first trip was GREAT! They always take their time and my nails look fantastic when I leave, and seem to last even longer than they ever did before. even at three weeks when they have grown out a fair amount, they still look decent. Price is okay… not as cheap as they place that I went to before… ends up being about 43 bucks for a fill after tip, although I do get sparkly tips with a gel coating on top. So seems pretty fair to me.
Defs worth a try!!!

Not happy. Went a few times. Always felt too rushed. Last time the girl nicked me four times and cut my one finger quite badly. She seemed more intent on checking her cell phone instead of making sure my nails were done properly. They also need to clean up the shop a bit. Won’t be going back.

Good service on pedi and price is fair. Staff is nice and friendly.

There are lots of nail salons in the Crowfoot area, but I decided to try out Magic Nails as it looked clean and organized when I popped by to book an appointment for a pedicure.
I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment and was seated in a large, comfortable massage chair with foot basin, and offered a bottle of water. I noticed that all of the other chairs were occupied– it seems to be a popular place. After soaking my feet the nail technician clipped, filed, buffed, exfoliated and massaged my feet to perfection. Everything was painless and the service itself was gentle. My nails were nicely polished with base and top coats, plus two layers of OPI polish. They also offer nail art and fake nails, but I wanted something simple.
The cost of my pedicure was $ 42. They don’t take Mastercard, so bring a Visa, debit card or cash.
(Aside: Half an hour before they closed, two women popped their heads in and asked if they would «fit in» pedicures. Uncool. No employees should feel obligated to stay late on Saturday evening so that you can get a last-​minute pedicure… and don’t assume that the technicians are empowered enough to say no to your request.)

A really clean and friendly facility, their English is a little broken but they get me in and out, what I want from a place like this (if I want to linger, I’d go to a spa). They don’t rush you but don’t take forever! Good job on the pedicures, the only service I got to them for, every 4 – 6 weeks regularly. I call day of and they usually can accommodate!
