Almond Nail Bar Academy

Dominique is truly a master of her craft!
From the moment I walked into her space, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. She's not only incredibly talented, but also attentive, gentle, and detail-oriented-everything you want in a nail tech.

She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and even offered creative suggestions that turned out beautifully.
My nails have never looked better-perfect shape, flawless polish. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients.

If you're looking for someone who combines skill, professionalism, and a great personality, Dominique is it. I can't recommend her enough!

The salon was beautiful with lots of natural light and desk staff were extremely good hosts, with both water and coffee available.

The pedicure set up was lovely and comfortable, with an extra pillow for back support if you wanted it.

My pedicurist was kind and considerate of all my concerns and desires with regard to outcome, and provided knowledgeable support in choosing my colour and finish. She was very professional and the outcome was stunning.

I will go back for sure!

Lee was such a sweetheart, I really appreciate that she was so detailed with the design I gave. She made sure I really loved the nails I got and was receptive and not defensive when I asked for things to be changed, it surely did not go unnoticed! Lee was great!

Although the staff were nice I was not told until after the service ended, what I wanted was not compatible with the design I asked for. When I went to pay I explained I would be getting them redone. They offered to do a correction at my expense and then told me my nails were too short for what I wanted. So I choose a simple color only to be told they were out of it. At this point I am ready to cry have been there for over 2 hours and I just want to be done with it. I don't think I am going back, given I had to pay to settle for something not at all close to what I came in for. I wish they had been clearer in their communications to me. This was my first time asking for a design and I told them that. I trusted their judgement and they kept telling me the top coat would fix it. The photo is the result and the one next to it is what I wanted, then the last is what I settled for. It cost me 60 dollars and I feel sick with disappointment but too exhausted to do it all over. Staff was nice but I will be looking for a different salon. I am honestly in tears, the polish is already lifting off my nails not a full 24 hours later. I have to go get them redone.

I had a very disappointing pedicure experience here. The salon was quite dirty — the foot basin looked stained and visibly unclean when I arrived. Instead of cleaning it properly, they just poured some blue powder into it, which seemed like an attempt to cover it up. The towels they used were worn out, some even had large yellowish-brown stains, which they placed directly on my legs — it was honestly disgusting.
The nail technician named Gagan was the worst I’ve ever encountered. She was careless and rough the entire time. The polish was unevenly applied, making my toenails look ridiculous. When she applied the scrub, she did it so quickly and forcefully that it got on my pants and stained them. Instead of apologizing, she blamed me, saying it was because my pant leg was in the way.
When I got home, even my friend joked that my toenails looked like they were done days ago because the polish wasn’t applied close to the cuticle at all. I don’t usually write reviews, but this was genuinely one of the worst salon experiences I’ve had.
