It was very great experience, the lady was very nice . She tried her best to give me the snowy nails for this holiday season. Definitely better than other nail salons!

I came here with my sisters to get ready for my sisters wedding. I Left with my nails looking amazing. The Bride's nails didn't look that great. I am hesitant about returning.

I love how my nails turned out she did a great job matching what I wanted except that once I got home and looked in the natural light I noticed that the nails I wanted black are actually dark blue. Aside from that they did a great job

I've been going to lees for about a year, and it has always been a hit or miss spot. I always get a gel polish acrylic set, and the price has never been consistent. Prices were significantly raised after the pandemic without warning to customers; a refill cost me $70. I was recently in my hometown and got the most excellent thinnest nails done. Upon coming back to Halifax, I was excited for a think refill at Lees. When I was there, a new woman was working; my refill took three hours. I paid the shocking $70, and upon getting into my car and looking at my nails, I cried.

Natalie is absolutely amazing. After moving back from Toronto I was nervous to try a new place and I was blown away. I am extremely picky with my nails and I am amazed. The attention to detail is superb. I will be back every month now knowing they will do an amazing job.

I’ve been going to Lee’s for a few years now. Recently had to go to another place just one time for undisclosed reason and wow, has it ever made me appreciate Lee’s. The staff are so great, my nails are done exactly how I want every single time. Lots of colours to choose from, easy to get a same-day appointment.

I got a really poorly done pedicure here today with shellac.

This is the typical Asian nail salon you see all over the place. I did see someone scrubbing out one of the tubs which is more than I can say about the hygiene of some of the other salons.

What can I say. My pedicure was probably half hour tops. They have one of those massaging chairs that aren't particularly relaxing. She barely filed my feet down. Barely a massage. She did a good job with the color and my toes look fine but the bottle of my feet look the same as they did coming in.

They also don't take credit, so I had

My nails turned out beautifully thankfully, but the service wasn't greatest. Mind you , it was prom season so they were very busy. Personally I did not enjoy the overall experience, They charged a lot extra for different thing which was shocking and I found they were very rough. 2 stars because I truly loved my nails.

Avoid! Poor customer service and a very rushed experience. My friend and I both got acrylic sets and they are roughly shaped and polished. Our fingers hurt from how harshly they buffed our nails. Tip: if you don't have time to take on new walk-ins, turn them away!! Don't rush through clients.

I'm in the service industry so I know about customer service . I've had my nails done at multiple places and this place has me TRUMATIZED !! To the point I actually called the association . I have been going to the same girl forever and she was out of town , so by friends I was recommended to Lee's. So let's start with when the older guy , instead of soaking my nails off , RIPPED them off to the point they were breaking in my he middle of my nail bed , I was fighting tears , and even when I told him he didn't stop ... just said it was fine . THEN barely buffed the nail

Such a bad experience. I got shellac and the edges aren't clean. She didn't paint to the end of my nails and when I pointed it out she didn't even acknowledge it. She shape isn't even even. Wouldn't go back. I made an apt and was there for 2 hrs because they didn't have enough staff.

I don't usually write reviews, but Kevin at Lee's did my nails today, and I was super impressed. He gave me a full acrylic set, and I've never had anyone take such care with the quality and effort to give me exactly what I wanted. The staff were very personable and kind.
Thanks guys!
I'll be back.

If I could leave zero stars for this ' salon ' I totally would. Yelp unfortunately does not allow this. Went to get a simple shellac manicure. First attempt, there were bubbles in the polish, and the colour was not consistent. So they then added another coat. Still not satisfied as this now left steaks and bubbles in the polish. Also it was not shiny at all. I normally go to princess nails in CP or Jadore in Bedford but my gf and I were on that side of town and decided to give it a try. MISTAKE. My nails are horrible. They look like a small child tried to paint them. They were closing

Myself and 2 friends visited Lee's (2 of us had an appointment and 1 was a walk-in), and we felt a little bit awkward going in....there were two technicians and 3 of us, so we wondered if one of us would wait, but they told us all to sit at the salon tables. While I appreciated that they tried to give us fast service and work on us all at the same time, they were not working carefully at all, which didn't really give the service a nice atmosphere.

Our nails looked ok in the end but if you looked closely there were a ton of little mistakes and jagged edges. Not to mention that the technicians

Not worth the trip...The worst quality, questionable sanitary and unfriendly manicure/ped experience I have had. Was convenient time early in the day...was parking out front so I dropped in...no customers in shop ...hmmm maybe I now know why..
Was out in well less than 30 mins...nails were cut very crooked ...did not even clean the nail filings....after finished....when requested it was with a very dirty towel she grabbed from the counter...My advise is to steer clear....cannot imagine they have been around for 10 plus years.....

I came to Lee's nails asking for an acrylic set. The manicurist applied my acrylics with small talk here and there, so far so good. The big let down was when he tried to claim he did a set of bio gel on me. I have had both types of nails and it was definitely acrylic, and I definitely said I wanted acrylic when I walked in. I explained this to him and his response was, "oh, okay" clearly caught in trying to over charge me for my treatment. I have yet to return and don't plan on it. The final product wasn't anything special, either.

This was actually the worst. After an initial battle where they kept trying to up-sell us---my friend and I just wanted a regular manicure---we finally decided on some colours. The man and woman were both pretty blunt and unfriendly, it didn't look like they sanitized anything, they even took out a gross used file to file our nails---but didn't even do that well since the ends of some of my nails were left jagged. I picked a navy blue and in the middle of the application he pulls out a bottle of oil or something (kerosene?) to dilute the polish because it was too old and thick... uhhhhhhh

Lee's Nails is just a small shop on Quinpool, distinguishable only by the ridiculous 80's era decals on the store front windows. My boyfriend and I have made it a habit to imitate the cartoon ladies, delicately flashing their newly polished digits, as we pass. I never thought I would ever have to frequent Lee's, I keep my nails fairly short, apply my own polish and I'm not a fan of fake nails (after a gel nail incident a few years back).

The weekend before my class ring ceremony I was playing a game of pickup basketball with a few friends and broke two nails (I had grown them

My GF is a big fan of Lee nails on Quinpool and she always requests Kevin to do her nails. When I went to with her one Saturday I was very surprised to the whole progress just to get your nails done. For $30 a fill every almost 2 weeks and that is not the starting cost of $40-$50 to put a set on I was like WOW, I should be in this business.

As well the whole cleaning thing find of turned me off due to sanitary reasons which I will not go there. But hey she loves the place and continues to go each and every time. For me I will continue to go oh natural.
