I was compelled write a review for this salon, as I’ve finally found somewhere I want to go long term! The service is friendly and of high quality, as well as extremely competitive in price.

I’ve been going to J&N’s Nail Salon in Belgrave Arcade for three months now. It is run by the very friendly Tam, and I feel very comfortable with her and her staff. They are accommodating, do a thorough job, and are cheaper than anywhere else I’ve been. It’s unusual to get a quality pedicure with choice of Opi polishes for $30! Even in such a short amount of time, Tam always remembers my name and my preferences, and I’ve grown fond of her and Thanh.

The other stand out feature of this salon is the lack of chemical fumes. I have been to numerous nail salons over the past ten years, and one thing they have in common is a decidedly strong chemical scent. I don’t know how the staff work in those environments when I feel poisoned just going there for an hour!

Because J&N’s is in the Arcade, there’s not a lot of through traffic—which is a shame, as I think her business deserves support—but it also means it’s peaceful.

I love that I don’t have to tolerate unpleasant odours, and can request that the television be turned off (if no one else is in the salon) and just close my eyes and relax and listen to the sound off the bubbling water while they pretty my feet! Warmest thanks to you, Tam, and I hope you stay in Belgrave for many years to come.

Approximate cost: $30
