Mani Pedi FAQs

Expect to be pampered by our friendly and experienced nail specialists and aestheticians.

Our mani pedi treatments include exfoliation, nail conditioning, and cuticle treatment. We can help shape your nails and buff them to smooth perfection. If you opt for polish, you’ll also have countless colour options to choose from. If you have any specific requests, we’re here to accommodate!

As often as you like! We like to get a mani pedi every couple of weeks or at least once a month. Dirt starts to accumulate pretty quickly and your nails grow out much faster than you might think. If you want to look and feel your best, we’re here to help – as often as you’d like to use our mani pedi services. 

Shellac manicures are meant to outlast regular nail polish manicures. They have an average lasting time of around 2-3 weeks. This time frame can vary widely depending on how much you use your hands for work, sports, hobbies, etc. But typically, your nails will grow out far before they chip!

We ask that you arrive a between 5–10 minutes before your appointment time slot. This will give you plenty of time to check-in, and select your polish.

We fully understand that sometimes being late is outside your control. We will always do our best to accommodate late arrivals (within 15 minutes after your appointment).

If you’re visiting Smudge Beauty Bar for the first time, call or email us! We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our location and parking.

Absolutely! At Smudge Beauty Bar, we pride ourselves on customer service and building relationships with our clients. If you’d like to request a particular nail technician for your appointment, we’d be happy to accommodate you as best as possible depending on the technician’s schedule. Just let us know about your requests when you book your appointment!

Our beauty bar and nail salon is pretty laid-back, friendly, and full of positive vibes. But there are some unwritten rules that you should know about:

  • Be respectful of our team and of others
  • If you know what colours you want beforehand, it helps a lot!
  • Try to avoid trimming your nails before your treatment, we’ll take care of it.
  • Enjoy yourself and get ready to relax.

Manicures and pedicures are often seen as a luxury and as “pampering” as opposed to a necessity. As experts in everything related to your nails, we can think of several excellent reasons to change that mindset. Some of the benefits of getting regular mani pedis include:

  • Boosted Nail Health
  • Improved Mental Health
  • Reduced Foot & Back Pain
  • Promoting Health Blood Circulation
  • Preventing Nail Infections
  • Enhanced Appearance
Depending on the nail art, we typically charge between $1-$5 per finger for designs or jewels.

We do! At Smudge Beauty Bar we offer a wide range of mani-pedi packages and service combinations so you can leave our salon feeling amazing from head to toe. Take a look at our salon packages here.

If you need to cancel your appointment, please call us at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a 50% charge. No-shows will be charged in full. Feel free to read more on our policies page here.

Smudge is a gorgeous, clean studio with wonderful staff. Madison is my ride or die for manicures and nail art in Ottawa! Her manicures last weeks without chipping and her artistry always blows me away. I love that she is always down to bring my vision to life.
— Jen Hart
Madison is absolutely amazing!! She is so beyond talented and is always able to recreate the designs I bring to her for my nails. I use to hate getting my nails done and now I look forward to it! My nails always last at least 3-4 weeks.
— Jessica Mcphail
I absolutely loved my experience at Sage, and Maddison did an amazing job on my nails! I got so many compliments at my wedding and they feel so good.
— Sarah Bucharski
I've been going to Smudge for over a year now, and fully recommend their services. I go every two weeks for a gel overlay manicure with Maddy, and every few months for a pedicure. I have watched their staff expertly take care of a range of customers and manages challenges with empathy, positivity and authenticity.

Had a visit to Smudge Beauty Bar and really enjoyed m y time here! I had a mani and pedi, and the staff were very kind, and informative. They were very patient, and took their time to do the nails! I also love the interior of the beauty bar itself, with all the vintage accessories and plants! I will definitely be back !

I cannot recommend smudge enough!! I have been for manicures and pedicures and every single time I go I am thrilled with the result. From the relaxing atmosphere to the incredibly kind employees that put so much time+care into each service (recently I've had Nicole and Rachel) everything is just perfect. Thanks smudge for always doing the best work 😊
