I've been coming to Frenchies for over a year and every time I get a gel manicure here it turns out perfect. I've been getting my nails done by Alyvia and she did my nails perfectly for my destination wedding. The salon is also extremely clean and I love that they remove gel polish gently.
Response from Polaris
Nicole, hearing that Alyvia helped make your destination wedding nails perfect made my day. I’m glad the gentle gel removal and cleanliness stood out after a year of visits. Thanks for trusting Frenchies Polaris with such an important look, we’re honored to be part of it!

We had such a great experience at Frenchies! I brought my daughter for her very first time getting her nails done, and they made it such a fun and special experience for her. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and we both loved how our nails turned out!
I also really appreciated that it didn’t have that typical strong nail salon smell thanks to their upgraded HVAC system. The whole salon felt clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Frenchies. We will definitely be back! 🤍
Response from Polaris
Hearing that your daughter’s first nail visit was fun and special made me smile! And I’m glad the upgraded HVAC kept things comfy for you both. Happy you loved the results and felt welcome. Can’t wait to see you back at Frenchies Polaris!

While I love the concept. It was not what I expected. I got two things done. A pedicure with gel polish, and gel x nails. Let’s start with the pedicure. I like that they don’t use the drills and it doesn’t smell in there- but the taking care of your feet like callus removing/ minimizing, massaging, hot towel(which I never got but I thought I would?) was bare minimum. A lil scrub here and a lil scrub there and that’s it. All done. Now the gel- I’ve never had an issue with gel on my toes. And after 1 week and 1 day - it’s already chipping. My toes don’t look even or match. Now for the gel X this was my first time getting gel X and I’m disappointed after having them for eight days in total they’re already pulling up and I can pretty much peel them off. Also, I wanted almond shape and provided a photo that I wanted them really rounded. I kept asking for them to be rounded and ended up coming home and having to round them more myself, my nails are all uneven. They don’t match one or the other. I wanted a slight ombre/French tip. And the look I got was similar, but not what I wanted. The polish work is uneven. One thumb has more white than the other. like I said I love the concept of it, but I probably wouldn’t return.
Response from Polaris
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We take concerns about both the quality of our services and the guest experience very seriously.
Unfortunately, we are unable to identify a guest or appointment in our records under the name associated with this review, so we haven’t been able to look into the specifics of your visit. We would very much like the opportunity to do so.
Gel polish chipping and Gel-X lifting after only eight days is not the standard we expect from our services. Likewise, if the shape, finish, or overall result was not what was requested, we would want the opportunity to see the nails and address those concerns.
Our pedicure services do vary depending on the service level selected, but every service should be performed thoroughly and according to the steps included in that service. If something was missed, we want to know about it.
Please contact the studio directly and provide the name and date the appointment was booked under so we can locate your visit, speak with the team members involved, and determine what happened. We stand behind our work and would appreciate the opportunity to address this directly.

I had a very positive first experience here. The manager introduced me to some of the features of the salon, and the person who did my pedicure (Jenni) was very friendly and did a great job. I’ll be back!
Response from Polaris

Frenchies is one of the best places I could think of to just relax for a bit and get your nails done. Everyone working was both super friendly and professional. The person at the front took the time to explain the sanitation practices of the salon and walked me through the colour selection process for my pedicure. I was able to get a small beverage while I was waiting from their menu (I got a matcha), and then the service itself was very relaxing and enjoyable. I will definitely be back!!!
Response from Polaris
Hearing that the sanitation walk-through and color help, made you feel comfortable means a lot, Kayla. Glad the matcha and the pedicure hit the relaxing note you wanted. Come back anytime to unwind at Frenchies Polaris!

LOVE it here! so clean and ambiance is great, love how every tool is cleaned in an autoclave and the pedi tubs DONT have jets so they can be totally disinfected! Manis are always perfect, no drills used so my nail beds actually stay healthy, but retention on the gel is great!
Response from Polaris
Your enthusiasm for our clean environment and the care we take with our tools means a lot to us. It’s great to know you appreciate being able to keep your nail beds healthy while enjoying perfect manis. We can’t wait to have you back!
