Places 2 Go…Things To See, Hear and Wear.
Divine Nails and Spa – 1558 Merivale Road
At first glance – when we pulled up to this spot I thought it could be a dive…the salon sign didn’t give me much of an impression about the salon at all. I walked to in to discover (what I thought could be a dive), an absolutely DIVINE salon spa.
Greeted by a pleasant and professional girl at the front desk and seated with a personable male manicurist, I felt like I was off to a great start. I looked around and the place was elegant yet cozy, clean, stylish and really inviting.
I needed to get my nails DID. More specifically – I had to get my gels off. I was pleasantly surprised with the knowledge and care that Philip – the manicurist – had to offer me. Even though he had plenty of opportunities to sell me on upgrades and products (because I kept asking), he instead gave me his recommendations to achieve my ultimate goal – to get back the healthiest nails possible. What other manicurist would turn your requests to spend money down? Instead, he suggested I let my nails breath and in 3-4 weeks to come back to get whatever I wanted.
I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and confidence that I would come back to their salon (and I will!). I was really appreciative of the care he took for my clearly damaged nails and after spending more than an hour with me – guess what my charges were. JUST TAKE A GUESS.
$22.60 – THAT’S RIGHT LADIES. Can you freakin believe it? He got my poor brittle nails back to health (nail hardener and top coat included), exfoliated my hands with delicious smelling sugar scrub, finished off with a little hand massage with lotion and essential cuticle oil. ALL FOR $22.60.
AAAAND – I walked away with a goodie bag.
All I gotta say is that I am NOT going back to any other salon…and I suggest you guys check this place out too. Their prices are great, service is FANTASTIC and they even have spa parties with food and wine included (check their website). Also – just a heads up – they have an amazing product called Shellac – its a 14 day wear polish that does not ruin your nails like acrylics or gel.
Call them for an appointment: 613.695.8838 or visit their website for more info: www.devinenailspa.ca
Thanks guys, I’ll be seeing you again real soon!
