Rochelle is absolutely wonderful- getting a facial is just heavenly. I always recommend her to my friends, because why would you want to go anywhere else- this is the best place in Victoria!

Nothing but great things to say about Nici she was great my manicure is beautiful I could not be any happier and I like to think of myself as kinda picky but i have zero complaints. The environment was lovely decorated so nicely I immediately felt comfortable and it felt like just a bunch of friends sitting around having laughs and doing nails. I will be highly recommending your business to anyone looking to get their nails done. I look forward to rebooking in the near future. I also left a good review as well.

Great quality and nice staff; who want you to have a relaxing experience. Reasonably priced too! I received a much needed manicure (no polish at my request) and a pedicure with gel polish. I’ll be back when I am in Victoria for business again.

I’m a nail biter and I rarely treat myself to a manicure. Charlotte took extra care to clean up my nails so that they are far too pretty to bite! I haven’t had anyone take this much care and attention to make my nails feel this nice. Very impressed!

You know that feeling you get with a home-cooked meal in a loving environment that relaxes your heart and makes you grateful; that’s the experience you get at Chelsea’s spa. My Pedi was top-notch with all the bells and whistles, and she is gentle with waxing. I can't wait to get a facial. One of the best estheticians in the greater Victoria/Colwood area. Worth the drive.

Manicure FAQs
Many nail technicians recommend once-weekly manicures to ensure your nails always look good and that your nail polish remains chip-free. However, you can get away with having manicures less often – ask your technician for their specific advice as the frequency can vary according to the nail polish used.
There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone
Yes, absolutely. In fact, it’s common, particularly for those using regular nail polish or gel. If you’d like to give it a try, there are various different kits and pieces of equipment available to buy, but we always recommend having a manicure done by a professional to ensure you get the results you want.
Nail technicians tend to start a manicure with a warm water hand soak, which soften the skin and nails. They then file, buff, and clean the cuticle, massage your hands with a moisturising cream, and apply a base coat of polish, before finishing with a layer of colour, top coat, and cuticle oil. Standard nail polish is left to dry naturally; shellac and gel polishes are cured under a UV lamp; acrylic nails cure in the natural air.
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
It depends on the type of manicure you get. You should allow around 30 minutes for a basic manicure that uses standard nail polish; shellac and gel nail manicures take up to 45 minutes; and acrylic nail manicures take around 90 minutes.
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Victoria, you are likely to pay around $40 for a manicure.
