Madison was very friendly and professional. She made sure my comfort was at the forefront of the experience. She also did a great job on giving my feet a glow up after months between pedicures. I would definitely go back to Smudge if I'm back in Ottawa and need my nails done.

I’ve been coming to have my nails done by Azi for the past few months since moving to Ottawa. She is truly the best nail designer you’ll find in this city. Book her!

Nikki did a fabulous dip powder manicure on my very short, natural nails. She was patient, thorough, and detailed. Amazing cuticle care and nice, even polish. Also, she did not comment on the length of my nails nor did she encourage extensions, which I very much appreciated. We did not chitchat and the salon was calm, making for a relaxing experience. I will definitely book Nikki again.

This nail salon is absolutely incredible! From the moment you walk in, the hospitality is top-tier, and the manager is so welcoming and attentive. I first came here for my wedding nails and was so impressed that I had to return! Recently, Madi did my Russian manicure and bio gel new set, and her attention to detail is phenomenal. Lisa handled my pedicure and nail design, showcasing her incredible creativity. Both are beyond talented! Their precision and artistry make every visit a luxurious experience. Highly recommend!

Nikki is the best nail tech I’ve ever had! She is meticulous, shaping nails to absolute perfection every time. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she genuinely cares about nail health, ensuring natural nails stay strong. Unlike many techs who rush, she takes her time to deliver flawless results. Whether it’s a simple manicure or intricate designs, her precision and passion shine through. I always leave feeling confident and obsessed with my nails. She is also a great person and makes every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend booking with her!

I recently got my nails done in bio gel dual form and I am absolutely blown away by the results! The technique was flawless, the finish is stunning, and my nails look incredibly natural yet polished. The artist was super professional, truly listened to what I wanted, and delivered beyond my expectations. I 100% recommend — you won't be disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the best manicures ever. You can also tell they’re close to their clients, they brought a cake in for someone’s bday! Great service. Prefer this location over murray street.

Thomas is literally the KING of shaping. I can be a perfectionist when it comes to my nails having that perfect rounded almond shape. Ever since my first appointment he’s been amazing. I had to wait until a few visits before reviewing but something else I noticed with his work I can easily go a month without my builder gel that’s grown out create that sharp edge that gets caught in my curly hair. He’s a magician!

I had an awesome first-time experience with Nichole! Nichole was friendly, courteous and very good at what she does. My manicure & pedicure was executed with precision & care; I am very pleased with how they look and I came away feeling very pampered. An aside comment... I especially enjoyed our conversation.
