Creative Nails & Esthetics

I agree with King F. who said this place is just «ok». I used to go frequently for acrylic nails, pedicures and waxing. The owner (Lin I believe) always did an amazing job waxing my eyebrows, and I would always book with her specifically. After a while, when I showed up for appointments, it turned out to be the other lady doing my waxing. Finally I asked Lin why she was putting me with somebody else when I was requesting her. She said that it is not fair to her employee that she gets all the clients so she has started sharing more with her. Okay… I get that. But I requested her personally because she did the best work and I was always happy when I left. The same was not true of my experience with her employee.
I have to say… when it comes to pedicures/​acrylic nails… these ladies are talented. There is not much they can’t do. The reason for the low rating is because their customer service SUCKS. Pedicures are supposed to be relaxing. but that is not the case. The employees talk to each other the entire time, and don’t acknowledge their clients. When another client walks in the door, they yell at them across them room. Like… not just to say «hello»… they have their entire consultation from across the room! «Do you have an appointment? No? What do you need to have done? Okay… I can do that… just sit down».
I stopped getting my nails done here because they would never explain options or ask questions. They would just do what they wanted, and you find out about it when you get to the till.
I haven’t been back there in quite a while, because I’ve found other options. However, if I need a quick and cheap pedicure, I would probably stop in.
Oh! and on more than one occasion they’ve told me that their debit/​credit machines are down and asked for cash… and when I said I didn’t have cash, they processed my debit payment. If you prefer cash payment… just say so. You don’t need to lie to me.

I’ve had a lot of pedicures & suffice to say I got so frustrated that I took to doing my own. Today however, I just wasn’t feeling like doing the work so I went to creative nails on calg tr. And wow!!! It was quiet, people were so polite & professional, and let me tell you –the leg/​foot massage nearly knocked me out! I was in heaven! When the ladies here spoke in their language, they even acknowledged me & explained what they were discussing, color me shocked & impressed! By the time the actual polish was applied I was already at 4 stars, yet the application was pretty flawless. Will I come back? YES! would I recommend this place –ABSOLUTELY!!! (It took years, but I have finally found the place!:-)
Check this one out!

Creative nails is okay. Nothing special. There are only 2 ladies who work here. The owner (long hair) and the other lady (short hair) is rude and always seems to be in a hurry. Oh and hungry, she eats any chance she can get while she is with a client. When I first starting going I was really happy but after a couple of months I realized they just don’t care about the job they are doing. Bumps and crooked nails, it just looked sloppy. This place is all about the money.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! UNLESS YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF SEWAGE WHILE YOU SIT AND GET A PEDICURE AND WANT AN INFECTION FROM THE PEDICURE WATER!
The only reason I went to this nail salon is because I read prior positive reviews written on Unilocal supporting this salon. I have had good luck in the past choosing an establishment based on positive reviews. This was not the case this time. This salon SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN BUSINESS.
IT WAS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME I have ever spent at a nail salon and I have been to quite a few inexpensive, quick in-​and-​out mani-​pedi salons in Edmonton and area. It was clear the ladies working, including the owner Lien, cut corners big time and were unprofessional. There are very little nail color choices unless of course you want the acrylic colors at $ 15 more. A BIG SCAM.
I went with my teenage daughter for a mani-​pedi combo for $ 45 and added the wax wrap in the pedi for an additional $ 10. We were initially pleasantly surprised it was not a complete hole in the wall but then things went down hill fast. As recommended by prior Unilocal reviews I booked Lien for my daughter and I was to have, who was truly a nightmare, Pearl. NEVER EVER ACCEPT PEARL TO DO YOUR NAILS. Well Lien shoved my daughter off with her cousin who looked maybe 15 yrs. old until I told Lien that I booked her specifically. Lien only did my daughters nails and then left her feet to her cousin and went to the back room.
Although the young girl was sweet and gentle, my daughters nail polish was a mess. It was all on the sides of her toes. It was the worst job ever.
I had Pearl who was very very rude, never smiled and at a point I had to have Lien come and finish my pedicure because Pearl WAS SO RUDE. I asked Pearl in conversation how long she had been doing this and she responded 10 years when I said wow, great, do you like it, she very sternly said, NO. I thought yeah, I do not need someone who does not like their job doing my nails. I told Pearl I could tell she didn’t like her job.
I told Lien (the owner) and Lien did nothing except say she was having a bad day. Lien did a nice job polishing my nails but Pearl did such a bad job and my feet that they were just as rough on the heals as when I arrived. The water that I soaked my feet in was lukewarm at best. The WORST PART was an ever present smell of sewage that I would whiff in while having my nails done and waking up to a RASH ALL OVER MY LOWER LEG the next morning. JUST AWFUL!!!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER SMALL SALONS THAT ARE 1000 TIMES BETTER.

Tucked away in a strip mall, I never would’ve found this place if it wasn’t for Unilocal.I was pleased with the final result and the ladies were very attentive. They made sure we loved our nails and if we wanted anything else done they did it. The only thing is I wish they had more design options for gel nails.

I have had my gel nails done by Pearl for the past 8 months. She is by far the best nail tech I have ever had in Edmonton. She is professional and knows how to shape all kinds of different nail styles. She makes sure that they look very sleek and clean. I always get people asking if they are my real nails. My only problem is that they don’t have the best selection of gel nail colors.
Book an appointment with Pearl and you wont be disappointed.

This place is like a hidden gem…
I’ve gotten gel nails done, manicures and pedicures. I like this place a lot because it’s quiet, I always get in, and the ladies are awesome.
The first time I ever came to this place I showed up not knowing the hours of operation and showed up ½ an hour before they closed, but the ladies still took me in, took their time and I had amazing gel nails by the end of it.

I’ve came here alot of times to get acrylic nails done, always done a great job and took their time to make sure it’s what I wanted. I haven’t got my nails done recently, but still go there and get my eye brows waxed and they do an amazing job as well. I always come out of there a happy camper.

I had never had a pedicure before, but with a destination wedding, I thought that a gel French pedicure would probably be best. I asked around and this salon came highly recommended, so I made an appointment.
The owner, Lien, took a look at my toes and then asked me what I wanted. She decided to do a liquid gel pedicure ($ 65). She was really friendly, cleaned my feet/​toes in the foot bath, popped on a face mask, and took her time to do a good job (I was there for an hour). She even filed the tips down shorter and shorter per my request (I really don’t like long toenails).
I really liked the end result and it did last through my wedding (which was a full week later), and it probably would have lasted longer but the day after my wedding, I somehow ripped off one of the nails on my left pinky toe. That was really painful but it was definitely due to the way my nails grow and not because of a shoddy job or anything.
It definitely isn’t the fanciest salon but Lien did a great job and I would come here again. FYI, debit or cash is preferred.

I like it because I never have to wait and I can just sit, put the massage on and get a pedicure. Not alot of conversation which I appreciate. Not the fanciest salon, but the pedicures are great!
