Before your appointment
A few small things make your visit smoother and help you get the most out of your service. Nothing complicated: it's mostly about letting us know what you need when you book.
- Let us know when booking if you're wearing gel, dip powder or a Solar set that needs to come off, so we can plan the extra time.
- Bring a photo of the look or colour you like, especially for nail art.
- For a pedicure, sandals or open-toed shoes help you avoid smudging fresh polish on the way out.
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can pick your colour without rushing.

If you just want your nails cut, it's $10. You'll find every detail on our Services page, under manicure and pedicure.
What does a pedicure or deluxe pedicure cost?
Our regular pedicure is $40 (about 45 minutes) and a Shellac pedicure is $55. The deluxe pedicure, longer and more pampering, is $60 for about 75 minutes, or $75 with Shellac. We also offer the Crystal Jelly pedicure at $65, or $80 with Shellac. A toenail cut on its own is $15. Check our Pedicure page to compare the options.
How much are gel polish and Bio Gel?
Gel polish is $30 and takes about 30 minutes. A Bio Gel full set is $70 and takes about an hour. A Bio Gel refill is $60, and a Bio Gel overlay on your natural nails is $65. These are starting prices; designs or special effects are extra, as explained on our Nail Enhancements page.
What does a Solar (pink and white) set cost?
A Solar full set with Shellac is $60 (about 60 minutes), and a Solar refill with Shellac is $50 (about 45 minutes). With colour powder, the full set is also $60 and the refill is $55. A Solar overlay on your natural nails is $55. Taking off an existing set is $15.
How much is dip powder?
Dip powder is $50 and takes about 45 minutes. If you already have dip that needs to come off, take-off plus a new dip set is $55. Dip powder with extensions is $60, or $65 including removal of your old set. Dip removal on its own is $15 and takes about 30 minutes.
How long does each type of manicure last?
It depends on your nails and your daily routine, but as a general rule regular polish lasts from a few days to about a week. Shellac and gel polish usually last around two weeks, sometimes three. Dip powder often lasts three to four weeks. For Bio Gel and Solar, a refill is typically recommended every two to three weeks, depending on how fast your nails grow.
What's the difference between Shellac and regular polish?
Regular polish air-dries and can start chipping after a few days. Shellac is a long-wear polish that cures under a lamp: you leave the salon fully dry, the shine holds up, and it usually lasts about two weeks. It comes off with a proper removal rather than plain nail polish remover. Price-wise, a classic manicure is $25 and a Shellac manicure is $40.
Gel, dip or Solar: which one should I choose?
In short: Bio Gel is flexible and natural-looking, great for strengthening or lengthening your nails. Dip powder is very durable and doesn't need a lamp. Solar gives you the classic pink and white look, with a pink base and white tips. The right choice depends on your nails and your lifestyle. Our gel, acrylic or dip guide compares all three in detail.
How do I book, and what are your hours?
You can book online any time through our BookMyNails page, or call us at (819) 770-6886. The salon is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For longer services, like a deluxe pedicure or a full set, it's a good idea to book a little ahead.
Do you take walk-ins?
Walk-in availability depends on how busy the day is, so the easiest thing is to call us at (819) 770-6886 before you come in. We'll let you know if there's room and for which service. If you want to be sure of your time slot, booking online through BookMyNails is still your best bet.
Do you offer services for kids?
Yes, we offer services for children 10 and under. A kids manicure is $15 and a kids pedicure is $30. With Shellac, the manicure is $25 and the pedicure is $35. The kids mani and pedi combo is $45, or $60 with Shellac. A simple colour change is $10, or $20 for a Shellac colour change.
How much is waxing?
A few examples: eyebrows $15, upper lip $15, chin $10, full face $35 and underarms $15. For arms, it's $25 for half arms and $35 for full arms. Half legs are $35 and full legs are $50. Bikini is $30 and Brazilian is $45. You'll find the full list on our Waxing page.

How much does it cost to remove gel, Solar or dip?
Taking off a Solar set is $15, and dip removal is also $15; each takes about 30 minutes. If you're getting a new dip set right after, take-off plus dip powder is $55. If your current set was done at another salon, please call us at (819) 770-6886 to confirm before you book.
Where is the salon located?
We're at 34 Bd du Mont-Bleu #6, Gatineau (J8Z 1J1), in the Mont-Bleu neighbourhood of the Hull sector. It's close to Ottawa, which makes it a handy stop for people who live or work on either side of the river. Our Hull and Mont-Bleu nail salon page has more details on getting here.
How long does an appointment take?
Here are typical times: classic manicure 30 minutes, Shellac manicure 35 minutes, pedicure 45 minutes, deluxe and Crystal Jelly pedicures 75 minutes. The mani and pedi package takes about 60 minutes, or 75 minutes with Shellac. A Bio Gel or Solar full set takes about an hour, and dip powder about 45 minutes. Add time for removal or nail art.
Do you have manicure and pedicure packages?
Yes. The manicure and pedicure package is $55 for about 60 minutes, which costs less than booking both services separately. With Shellac on both hands and feet, the package is $85 for about 75 minutes. It's a great option before a vacation, a wedding or just to treat yourself.
Do you offer paraffin treatments?
Yes, a paraffin treatment is $15. Warm wax wraps your hands or feet and leaves your skin soft and well moisturized, a nice little moment of comfort, especially during our dry winters. It's easy to add to a manicure or pedicure. Just ask for it when you book so we can plan the time.
How should I prepare for my visit?
When you book, tell us if you have gel, dip or a Solar set that needs to come off, so we can set aside time for removal. Bring a photo of the style you like. For a pedicure, wear open-toed shoes so you don't smudge your polish. And arrive a few minutes early to choose your colour at your own pace.
How can I make my manicure last longer?
A few habits make a big difference: wear gloves for dishes and cleaning, moisturize your cuticles regularly, and avoid using your nails as tools. Don't pick or peel off Shellac or gel; book a proper removal instead. Our nail care guide walks you through every step to keep your nails looking great between visits.
Can prices change?
Yes. The prices on our website are starting prices and may change. Detailed designs, extensions or removal can also add to the total. The exact price of your service is always confirmed when you book, whether online through BookMyNails or by phone at (819) 770-6886.
