Rose Nails & Spa

I have been coming here for a year. They’re always friendly. I always request for Hon. She’s friendly and attentive and does a great job on pedicures.

honestly the worst place to get your nails done the staff are rude and do a shitty job on your nails, absolute rip off never go here your wasting your time

Absolutely the worst service I have ever received. I went in to get a fill and the man that was doing my nails was so rough. He cut me so many times, over-​filed my nails to the point it burned. The end result was crooked, bumpy and definitely not the color I chose. WILL NOT GO BACK!

Hidden Gem.
$ 45 Mani-​Pedi, $ 30 Brazilian. I walked into the salon looking for a quick mani-​pedi and I definitely got it. It’s not as lush and luxurious as perhaps some nail salons you’d find in Yaletown, but the aestheticians and nail technicians know their stuff.
For example, the aestheticians use a wax that is not too hot so that us girls won’t get ingrowns. Huong was also very thorough, attentive, and absolutely fearless.
I can say the same about the other aestheticians. However, every now and then you get the one waxer that starts doing your upper legs and your stomach. It’s really weird and I wish she wouldn’t do that.
Anyways, you can just tell when you’re there — a lot of the customers know these women and give them hugs and gifts when they leave because they are so satisfied with the work.
And this is quality work too: free-​hand nail art, nail shaping, proper sanitation techniques etc.
Especially if you live in the area, go here! Because the place across the street does Brazilians for $ 40!

Was in town and needed a quick mani. Great place and clean. Can’t remember my nail techs name but she did a great job and took her time!

I’ve gone here a few times now to get my nails done and it’s not the absolute best but it’s definitely not bad for the price.
This place is very clean, the ladies are quite friendly and chatty which I do like and for the most part they can speak and understand English. Some of the places I’ve gone in the past, the staff will talk crap about you as they’re doing your nails (thinking you don’t speak their language) and it’s actually a common occurrence I see. However, I have NEVER experienced this here.
The only negative for me is the skill levels vary from staff to staff. Some are better, more careful and like to perfect their work. Whereas, I’ve had one instance where the nail tech just didn’t pay attention to detail, didn’t cut my cuticles cleanly, I had airbubbles in my polish or they forgot to add cuticle oil at the very end.
It can be a bit of a hit and miss depending on who you get.

Service is attentive and efficient. Well priced I got a mani and pedi will definitely go back.

Every chair is a massage chair! Best in the West Side :)

AWFUL! DO NOT waste your time or money!
Only go here if you know of no other nail salon and want the WORST treatment and service. I have been getting my nails done in Vancouver for over 15 years, and have a pretty good idea of what a «good job» looks like. This place does NOT do that. And they know ZERO about customer service. I used to go to Star Nails in Kerrisdale and they were amazing. I’m so sad they closed, and that was the reason I decided to try this place out.
They appear friendly when you first walk in, because they want your business. But if you have any complaints about the details in their work (and I’m not a big complainer), they quickly turn sour. I got gel polish 3 days ago. That very same day, without ANY unusual usage of my hands, I noticed that the polish was chipping. I went back straight away, despite having to leave my 10-​month old son at home with my husband, and they fixed that nail. That night, two others chipped. When I went back the next day, I showed it to them, and said that I was concerned they were all going to chip, so I’d like them to re-​do all of it. Not unreasonable, I would think. The owner, Tanya, told me (very rudely) that she didn’t have time and I should come back tomorrow.
So the next day I found a sitter, and went back because I HAD to get them fixed… my grandmother’s funeral was the next day. So she handed me off to one of her «less capable» employees, who proceeded to do a crappy paint job (you could see my nail through some of the polished areas) and actually left small black fibers from her brush on 2 of the nails. I noticed after it had dried, and when I quietly called Tanya over to show her, her reaction was to try to scrape it off — after I had just spent 1.5 hours (yes, 1.5 HOURS) sitting there getting them done! RIDICULOUS! I had never sat that long for gel polish in the last 2 years of having it done. EVER. And then to end up with a horrible nail job?! I was fuming.
Long story short, I asked her for a refund, she refused, and said that it was MY fault for not pointing out to her employee that there were hairs on my nails. MY FAULT?! MY JOB to tell your employees how to do their jobs well? Hilarious.
Needless to say I will NEVER go back to this place, and I would call their garbage work shoddy at best. If you like this place, you’ve clearly been extremely lucky… or have not had an actual GOOD nail job done anywhere else to know the difference.

I absolutely adore Rose Nails. The women who work there are kind, hard working and very friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and the location is well placed. And their services are fairly priced and great quality. :)
Needless to say, I love rose nails, and I’m a regular there and don’t plan on changing that.

I used to go here all the time when I lived in Dunbar, the owners are super friendly and very personable. All the women are very cheerful. Never had a bad mani/​pedi here and their nail art is great. Will be going back as Iv had bad experiences at other nail salons since I quit going here…

Clean. Efficient. Lots of color selection. Chair is comfortable not massage chair. Got a pedicure for $ 30.

A great little nail salon in the Dunbar area of Vancouver. The interior is bright, new and is equipped with air conditioning (a nice perk for the summer months) The Asian ladies that work here offer really friendly, attentive service. They truly provide excellent feet pampering. I’m not sure if they use the autoclave to sterilize their equipment though. They have a large selection of OPI polishes and their beige salon chairs are super-​comfy.
Pedicure: $ 35 + tax
Mani/​Pedi: $ 45 + tax, $ 50 for French
Likes: friendly, great feet pampering, good value, free paraffin hand and feet treatment (be sure to ask for this)
Dislikes: employees don’t understand English very well, but are friendly
Recommended!

I love this place! Great polish selection, friendly prompt service, and most importantly they do a great job on your nails. Their prices are good too — 45 dollars for a mani/​pedi.
They also offer threading and waxing which is a plus. Eyebrow threading is 10 bucks, not bad at all for a place west of main street.
