I wanted to give a shout out to Peter who did my nails. I was a first time client, and loved the service he provided. Peter was very meticulous with each step, and was very friendly. The cat eye turned out beautifully :)) The only thing I would say, is the day before I had called ahead making sure they were still going to be open the next day because of winter weather. I told the receptionist I wanted to come before the weather, and she made my nail appointment for 9:30, which was when they opened. It didn’t really cross my mind to ask if I should come a little early or not, I usually show up 5 minutes early. I got to the place and sat in my car till 9:25 and walked up. I waited for a bit until a lady came up and cracked the door to say “we’re not open yet, you’ll have to wait.” I had no issue waiting, I just wanted to be out of the cold. So I was let in, and one of the nail techs told the lady who let me in “it’s not 9:30 yet” (it’s was like 9:28). So I told them “I’m fine with waiting, I just had an appointment at 9:30 and I wasn’t sure if I should come early or not.” Just some business advice, if you are going to have a strict opening policy, I would recommend making the earliest booking time like 9:45.

I am always happy each time I come here and I haven’t been to a real salon in a while. But Brian has done my nails each time I’ve went. I truly feel relaxed here! Service is always nice. I highly recommend.

I absolutely love Vernis! It took me a lot of tries to find a good nail salon here but my first visit and i’ve never gone anywhere else. Amy is my go to and i’m in her chair every 3weeks (honestly i’ve gone longer because her nails ALWAYS last). All the techs are friendly and really skilled. If you’re looking for a good nail salon, quick, friendly, quality and prices make sense… Vernis nail salon will be your last stop

Amy is a an incredible nail tech professional! She makes sure you’re happy with the shape and color, suggests the best nail method (Gel, Acrylic, SNS Dip, etc.) for your nail health and continually checks on your satisfaction throughout the entire service. My previous nail appointment with Amy she did an amazing design based upon a picture I provided her. This time she listened to my wishes from nail length to design and gave me beautiful holiday nails. The nail salon is beautiful inside - spacious, clean, and welcoming. It is a wonderful place to indulge in a little self-care.

Amy is a wonderful nail tech professional! She makes sure you’re happy with the shape and color and continually checks on your satisfaction throughout the service. She took time with my shaping and fill-in. My previous nail tech (in a different salon) always rushed through the service and the nails were never a consistent shape. The nail salon is beautiful inside - spacious, clean, and welcoming. It is a wonderful place to indulge in a little self-care.
