I went to lux spa as part of the chick advisor product review club. I was attending to try out a new CND shellac manicure product (which I loved and have reviewed on here).

Lux Spa is located in trendy yorkville and it is very modern and clean. As with everything in yorkville prices were definitely on the high end for a shellac manicure. The manicure was well done and the staff were friendly. It was clear they were trying hard to make a good impression as they knew we were part of the review club and they would be reviewed on the service. I would love to know more about what their service is like on an average day.

The manicure was good but I really don't have anything special to say about the salon/treatment. It was clean and decently done but I just don't know that I could get over the price factor. I don't mind paying top dollar for great experiences but I do have to say that for the listed price for the service they come up average in terms of what they deliver. I definitely think there are other nail salons that offer better value for your money.

Ladies are nice, and the salon is clean and updated. I read reviews on them on Google and they were pretty split but overall had a good experience. Yorkville is right by my office so the location was great. Really nice colour choices. A bit on the pricer side of a traditional mani, but I'd pay for convenience.

It was my first time there at the salon and it was a very pleasant experience. The people there were fantastic and the atmosphere was very relaxing and delightful, while I had my Shellac manicure done for Chickadvisor's Product Review Club (many thanks!). Overall, I would go back there again to get my Shellac manicures done in the future. Shout-out to Samantha, who was super nice and friendly!

Positive aspects:
-The location of the salon is very good, close to the Bay Subway Station
-It was easy to schedule the appointment
-The ambiance is amazing! The space design and music soundtrack makes you feel very relaxed
- The place is very clean and organized
-The nail technician started my appointment on time and she was professional and very friendly
- Great service with free and different kinds of drinks as coffee and tea
- Huge variety of Shellac colors to choose
-Hand massage and exfoliation as a plus service with no charge

Negative aspects:
- I received the Shellac manicure for free because of ChickAdvisor Club Review, but if I need to pay for the service I think the salon services are too expensive
- No WiFi available
- I think the application could be better. My Shellac duration was less than a week and got chipped. One of my nails was with a bubble and without me ripping out half of the Shellac was gone. I tried Shellac in another salon. It was cheaper and I preferred the application because after one week my nails still great.

Conclusion:
I recommend the salon because of the great service, however I so not recommend Shellac application there. I would recommend to a friend, but depend of the friend because of the price. I intend to come back to the salon for a regular manicure or pedicure, but not in a regular basis because it is expensive.

I visited Lux Spa for a shellac manicure and really enjoyed the experience. The booking over the phone was easy (although they were busy!) and the staff person I spoke to was friendly. It's located in trendy Yorkville, so just being in that neighbourhood feels like a treat! It's small, but the ambiance inside is trendy and calming - clean/modern lines, white and light turquoise, a tranquil vibe. The nail technician I was seeing was waiting for me when I walked in, greeted me, and took my coat so I felt very welcome. They have a little menu with complimentary teas and coffees listed which was a nice touch. The nail technician was very friendly and polite, talking with me but also respecting some "quiet time". I am pregnant so she chatted with me about that because she has kids, and I liked that! I was a breads aid Ina wedding the next day and needed a neutral colour and she was very helpful with colour suggestions that would look good which I appreciated. I'm not someone who always goes to an upscale spa to get a manicure because it can be expwnsive, but if I wanted to treat myself I would absolutely go back to Lux.

The place is very nice and the professional that worked on my manicure was spectacular. I would definitely recommend and come back.

I've only ever gone here for pedicures. Really well done. I found it was very resilient and they did a great job of buffing my feet in addition to making my nails look lovely. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Great selection of polishes from CND, Essie and Zoya. It's a bit pricey because of the location, but you'll get a quality pedicure.
