Sandra T
Sandra is the best nail tech hands down! She wants all customers to have beautiful and healthy nails. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She’s always innovative and ahead of all the nail trends. I have been a frequent customer for three years and Sandra never disappoints!
Venue
I found this place on Google and decided to try it out because it had such great reviews. My previous nail tech ended up going back home to help with family. Artup did NOT disappoint! Booking was simple, and communication was clear and instructive. They were proactive by asking for inspo for my appointment. When I arrived, everyone was so kind and welcoming. It’s a small space but very clean and organized. You can tell everybody knows how to work efficiently and effectively. The nail techs are engaging, kind, considerate, and overall professional! It’s not a stuffy place like some nail salons, and it’s not a hole in the wall like some places. It’s just right.
Rina L
Rina has done my nails both times, And honestly, she’s my new favorite nail technician. She has such a calming spirit, and gives a quiet confidence. I present her the inspo and she without question mirrors it with little customizations here and there. If I want to change something in the middle of the session, she is accommodating and understanding. I love that she is able to give honest feedback, and still consider my opinion, and in the end she has exceeded expectations! She is a great nail artist, and I am so excited about the future and the nail journey I’m going to be going on with her!!!!💅
Sandra T
I’ve been going to Sandra for over 5 years now, and I honestly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my nails! Not only is she an incredibly talented nail artist—her attention to detail and creativity are unmatched—but she’s also just an amazing person. She takes the time to listen to what I want and always brings my vision to life, whether it’s a simple, classic look or something bold and intricate. Beyond her talent, Sandra creates such a warm, welcoming environment. Every appointment feels like catching up with a good friend, and she truly cares about her clients. She’s professional, kind, and always goes the extra mile to make sure I leave happy. If you’re looking for someone who can consistently deliver flawless nails while making you feel like a VIP, I can’t recommend Sandra enough. Thank you for being so wonderful at what you do and for being such a joy to be around!

While the salon is clearly very reputed, my first experience there did not meet my expectations. I had initially signed up for a Japanese gel appointment with "moderate" nail art. After being asked to send the image I had in mind via text, I was told that the design (which included French tips) would constitute "simple" nail art. So my appointment was revised. Fine. And yet, when I arrived at the salon and showed Quinn the photo, she informed me that my appointment would have to be upgraded to "moderate." The advanced texting is supposed be helpful, adding some smoothness and efficiency to the process. For me, it created such unnecessary confusion especially since I thought all along that my design should fall under "moderate." That being said, I might like to try the salon one more time, primarily because I have heard such wonderful things about some of the other nail artists (and could see for myself how pleasant, kind, and collaborative they were with their clients). I am hopeful that my next appointment will be more satisfying.
Quinn T
This is the first review I have written in over a decade (perhaps even longer), but I felt it was important to catalogue my experience as I did not receive great service and I know that it was unwarranted. At first, Quinn was perfectly nice to me and answering my questions. I showed her a photo of the nail art that I wanted and she told me that the design was achievable. It wasn't until the very end of my manicure, when she was drawing the design and I noticed that it looked considerably different from the photo, that she claimed (with the certainty of someone who had made up her mind a while back) that she could not replicate the design more accurately because it appeared to be a sticker. This is the type of discussion that needs to be had at the beginning of an appointment, not only to manage expectations but also to practice transparency with clients! I was very disappointed that she didn't bother to tell me this early on because if she had, and if I knew how my nails would actually turn out, I would have asked for something else entirely. In addition, when Quinn first started filing my nails, I asked her for an almond shape and elaborated on that request with description and a photo. By the end of the manicure, however, she had done the French tip in such a voluminous and bulbous way that my nails looked quite top-heavy and inelegantly shaped. I noticed this and asked her if she could please refine the shape (I said something to the effect of, "My nails are looking very rounded at the top, do you think you could shape them just a bit so they return to the almond shape please? Thanks so much"). She gave me a disproportionately aggrieved look and proceeded to half-heartedly file a few of my nails for about five seconds. She treated me in such a cold and annoyed way after this, which was surprising considering the reviews I had read about her patience, precision, and attention to detailed requests. I had been consistent from the beginning about the shape that I wanted. I showed it to her in the photo as well (once again at the end as a reminder of the shape). So I was very disappointed that she would show such displeasure at me when she was the one who had not carried out my fairly simple request of almond-shaped nails. I will not be making an appointment with Quinn again.

The first time I ever went here to get my nails done, I knew that I could never go back to getting my nails done anywhere else. Art Up Nail Studio is incomparably better than any other nail place I have ever been to. They are meticulous when it comes to shaping and prepping the nails and always get the designs/nail art perfect. They always listen to you and are willing to work with you to come up with a design. Every single staff member that I have encountered there is so incredibly kind. I've also had my nails done by several different nail techs here, who have all been amazing, and my nails turn out perfect every time. I cannot recommend this place enough! I introduced my friend to this place, and she now exclusively gets her nails done here and feels the exact same way about it being the best nail place she has ever been to. 10/10 would recommend!
Sandra T
Sandra is so incredibly nice and is amazing at doing nails/art. She is always willing to work with you to come up with ideas/designs. You can tell that she is an expert at what she does! Every time she does my nails, I have 100% confidence going into the appointment that I'm going to leave loving my nails.
Quinn T
My nails came out perfect!
Quinn T
Quinn is so patient, I'm a designer myself and am very detail oriented. So I can appreciate Quinn's flexibility and patience when we create art! She gets it and I'm totally thankful for her openness and kindness while being talented.
Quinn T
Quinn has worked on my nails numerous times and has always shown great care, precision, and overall skill. I highly recommend, as she consistently slays my nails

Cute and cozy studio.
Quinn T
I had the best time getting serviced by Jay. She pays such great attention to detail and takes her time and, that makes a world of a difference. She gave me exactly what I asked and I can’t wait to go back in a few weeks. :)

Sandra and team are great!
Jessy B
Jess is fantastic. I've been seeing her for over a year and a half for my natural nails. I'm very specific with my shape (oval, not too thick on top), style (ombre French) and length and she gets it perfect every time. I am constantly complimented on them. And they last a full month, easily. Never chip, fade, or break. She's very sweet and very efficient.
Quinn T
This is my second set with Gina and she does a great job! Always shapes my nails exactly as I ask and does great design. She is definitely my go-to now!

Always a wonderful experience
Sandra T
Impeccable as always!
Jessy B
Came here with the recommendation of colleagues, definitely did not disappoint. Jessy was thorough, gentle, and got the design I wanted somehow even better than the reference picture. This was my first time at the salon but I will absolutely be coming back!
Rina L
Rina did my nail prior to my Banff Jasper trip! i had her paint Moraine Lake from a pic i took from my previous visit-amazing!
Sandra T
Sandra is the sweetest person who meticulously cares for my nails from start to finish. I really enjoy getting my nails done by her and have found my new nail salon!
Venue
The service is always exceptional. The quality of the products they use is great and my nails usually last 4 weeks with no chips.
Rina L
Rina is very talented especially when it comes to hand-drawn art. From peacock feathers to oranges, she's drawn all sorts of things on my nails. In addition she gives great manicures, always paying close attention to details like consistent nail shape and length. And to top it all off, she's fast and efficient.
Rina L
She was careful and very detailed with my nail art, which I appreciated a lot! Will definitely come back for more :).
