Best Nail Salons In Ottawa

“Everything about this business makes you feel cared about! Love the place itself, a heritage building with funky decor, a peaceful atmosphere with good music and respectful employees who are very good at everything they do! You can't help but enjoy the experience! Houston did my pedicure and she was really great, much appreciated. Love that place!“

“Today's facial and spa treatment with Meryann was excellent. I could sense her concern and enthusiasm for helping her clients, and she is highly informed and helpful when advising me on the best goods to use and the best course of action. My encounter with Meryann today will never be forgotten, and I will most definitely return. Meryann Spa, thank you.“

“The Upkeep Shoppe provides a wonderful experience and backs it up with excellent customer service. I wasn’t completely happy with the end result of my last service, but they followed up right away and made it right. If you’re looking for a pedicure or manicure, I highly recommend Maylee!“

“This was my first time coming to this place and I love the finished product and the look was very natural. Definitely will come back!“

“When I go in I am nicely greeted and showed a seat & l’m told it should not be to long & it never is. I am then walked to the immaculate room and the lounge table they make sure you are in the most comfortable position, they put something underneath that takes the stress off your body, neck,back and under your knees that you have no reason to move because you are so comfy!This is before the procedure. I honestly don’t want to get up & leave!“

“Seriously the best lash tech I’ve ever had!! Elizabeth is so gentle, the lashes are extremely comfortable with minimal fall out, and they look beautiful and natural!“

“I got my nails done at Lilac for the first time today and I had a great experience. I got pastel french tip done and the guy did exactly what and how I wanted. I didn’t ask for his name but he did a great job overall. Thank you.“

“I’ve been going to La Crystal for almost a year now, I switch between this location and the one in Gatineau. My girl Sophie always does such an amazing job and I look forward to seeing her every month! I’ve also had some of the other girls there do my nails and they’re just as talented. I drive over an hour out of town every month just to get my nails done here :)“

“Everyone was so nice and friendly. I have had my nails since September 5 and I still don’t need a fill great service!“

“Shanna is absolutely amazing! She's incredibly professional, quick, and keeps everything extremely clean. Her technique is efficient and as painless as possible. She knows how to make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.“

“I’m a long time customer and keep coming back! I have found Zoey’s to be consistently excellent with hygiene, technique, price and style. I have my preference for short square and dark but I see them doing everything from shellac to dip & extensions. I have been elsewhere, for reasons of time, location, convenience but keep coming back to Zoey’s. I just think they’re the best!“

“I usually love this place. They definitely do a great job for nails. But it’s been frustrating when i book appointments they never fall through. I can admit i do book the day off but it’s usually a couple hours notice. Sometimes a girl has a nail emergency ! Great nails and always do a good job but would hope the organization to improve. If it’s too booked up i’d prefer a “sorry we don’t have room” compared to calling me an hour before i leave to cancel my appointment.“

“I enjoy the aesthetic staff here. Always do a great job on my lash lift and tint and waxing.

Stylist: Paige and Derrick - fantastic“

“I booked a pedicure at A’s just before Christmas. When I arrived I asked if the woman taking care of my service (Annie) might also have time for an acrylic set for my fingernails. She very kindly agreed. She was friendly, efficient, and did a beautiful job on both services. I got a version of a French manicure with a fine gold line, and the lines were done perfectly. Attention to detail and speed don’t often go hand-in-hand, but she delivered both. Big thanks to Annie! I’ll absolutely be returning to see her for services in the future.“

“My pedicure was so relaxing with a massage and exfoliation! Jessica is wonderful ans so attentive to details, My nail’s shape and polish is perfect!!!“

“The girl are so kind and always do a good job. I recommend to book in advance and maybe go early morning when they are not super busy.“

“I got acrylics done and I couldn’t be happier with the result. They also gave me suggestions on what would look better and were being so nice. Time was also very good!!“

“The staff were nice and understood what I wanted. I got a pedicure and it was super relaxing & everything was hygienic. I Def recommend this place“

“First time doing dipping powder... love it ❤️
Loved my experience at this nail place..thank you for your amazing service.“

“This is my second visit to the nail salon, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. My first gel set lasted a month and a half with no broken nails at all, which already says a lot about the quality. This salon is truly worth every penny — they use high-quality materials that actually last.

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the hospitality is 10/10. The business owner is also super cool, kind, and clearly passionate about her work. I absolutely loved what she did on my last set.

I definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking for long-lasting nails and amazing service. ?✨“

“Tammy is absolutely amazing? best nail salon in Ottawa! Will never go anywhere else for nails or waxing“

“Best nails, best quality, best shape, give them any inspo pics and they bring your vision to LIFE ??“

“I booked two shellac pedicures for myself and my mother after seeing a social media post announcing their 2026 Canadian Choice Award. I own a business in the area, and I am committed to supporting business in the Kanata South area. We went on a Sunday afternoon, it was busy but quiet, which my Mom and I both appreciate. I booked us the second option for the pedicure plus shellac. Our treatment was amazing with hot stones, towels, foot mask etc. I can see why they received an award. I look forward to future treatments if they are as good as what we received today ?“

“Always professional their work is detailed! Very clean spa. Thank you for always making my nails look pretty!“

“Amazing experience at Meta. From the wonderful greeting to the excellent service Meta is fantastic. The atmosphere is soothing and the treatment beds are so comfortable! Emilie was great at explaining everything and answering all my questions. I highly recommend Meta!“
