Review:
I often pride myself in being extremely organized, however, I have realized over time that when it comes to making appointments…I SUCK! I am extremely last minute and will drive around until I find someone who has time to take me. This is how I happened upon Go 4 Nails&Spa, preparing myself, last minute, for a girlfriends engagement party.

I walked into 3 of my ‘old reliable’ nail joints, only to find them packed with absolutely no time for a manicure. “You should have booked an appointment” they all said. I get it – I know. I should have booked an appointment. But I didn’t – so who can take me!

Go 4 Nails & Spa was located on the way to my hair and make-up appointment (also booked last minute), so I stopped in there, fingers crossed. To my delight, they were dead – not ONE person sitting in a manicure or pedicure seat. SCORE!

Now, they receive 1 point for being completely dead. However, I would soon come to realize why. I requested a Shellac manicure, this should only take – at most 45 minutes. ESPECIALLY IF I AM THE ONLY ONE THERE. My Shellac manicure took almost 1.5 hours! I was late for my next appointment. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I HATE being late. 

The nail technician was meticulous with my nails, and the application of the Shellac polish. However, this meticulous application took forever. It’s not brain surgery – it shouldn’t take 1.5 hours. Further, she did not speak to me once – but she did answer her phone. Rude. The entire time spent within the ‘Spa’ was extremely awkward. I couldn’t even waste time watching their beautiful flat screen TV because they were showing Chinese Soap Opera’s and Movies. Ones which, for lack of knowledge in the Chinese language, I could not understand or get into.

NOTE: I assume they were Chinese because they clearly state on their website that they speak both English and Chinese…I don’t see why they would be playing television in a language other than the ones they speak – no offense meant by my assumption.

By the end of the manicure, I was pleased with the job. However, I assumed with 1.5 hours needed for application – my nails were going to shoot lasers or fireworks. I was disappointed to find out that this was not the case, and they were just as normal as all the other Shellac manicures I have received. (They didn’t even last longer)

I wish I could recommend Go 4 Nails&Spa as a low budget gem for a quick fix – however they weren’t even quick! If you are in Markham and need somewhere to get your nails did – go somewhere else…unless you have 2 hours to spare.
