EMA nails is the best! Attention to detail, kind staff and very clean salon. Tony did beautiful design on my nail and was patient with me even when I changed my mind a few times! Relaxing experience and my shellac always lasts longer than any salon in town. If you want quality services and a great experience come here!

Amazing job! I went for Acrylic removal and Shilac polish . No pain. Left with great looking nails. I was so worried after a year with them. Extremely happy with the outcome.

I had a regular manicure here on Dec 24th and by end of day on Dec 25th my nail polish was already chipping off at the ends. Also, the nail tech used an electric file on my bare nails. I've never experienced this at any other salon, but couldn't see the extent of the damage when it was being done. My nails are now thin, break easily and have clear ridges near the cuticles. It will take months for them to grow out and repair. I'm not from Penticton so took a chance here. Very disappointing.

If I could leave a 0 I would. I was excited to try Ema nails but unfortunately had a horrible experience. I had requested a French tip using regular nail polish. There was some confusion at this request and attempts at persuading me to get shellac. I had shellac on from the last time, but was getting tired of the up keep. I decided to stick with the regular polish. The end result was absolutely unacceptable. The polish application was patchy, and no where near smooth. There was no pink base coat done, which is common for many other salons. The shaping and filing was rushed. The cuticle care was abysmal. The French tips themselves were uneven, and inconsistent. During the experience, the tech doing my nails was providing directions to the tech doing my friend’s nails. At that point I had lost all hope and confidence in the final result of my nails. I had higher expectations prior to this experience based on the reviews but was left extremely disappointed. There was a clear lack of attention to detail and professionalism. I had to go to another salon just to get them fixed. I would not recommend this salon based on my experience.

After having some poor experiences with other salons in town, I came across Ema and after seeing some great reviews, decided to try it out and was not a bit disappointed! It was a stellar experience all around. The environment is clean, trendy, and relaxing, the staff were friendly and respectful of my time, and the work is amazing! Their attention and concern for quality and my satisfaction is something I haven’t experienced at a nail salon in quite some time. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends!
