Love this place. The technicians are all nice, all the services I’ve had (pedis mostly) have been done to high standard. The décor & atmosphere makes it a pleasant space to spend an hour.

My daughters had their first junior pedi service there. Staff was very friendly and helpful with their color selections and pedi service. They enjoyed it. We will def go back again.
19 August 2023 21:33
I just had a relaxing experience at Joyride. Kimia gave me a perfect pedicure. I will definitely be back soon! It is a calm and very clean environment. I recommend Joyride for mani-pedi indulgence.

I was really looking forward to trying out this spot but unfortunately it was really disappointing. We booked the expecting mom manicure for me and the kids manicure for my daughter as a special treat on my birthday, and while the staff was super kind, the manicures were really poorly done. The mom manicure promised specialty products and extra massage, but the service itself was a very basic manicure that was applied way too thick, barely given a topcoat, no cuticle oil… it chipped the same day, and there was no extra massage element, just a super quick hand massage as usual. The kids manicure was described as an offering with special child friendly polishes, but my daughter just picked something off the wall and no one really explained the choices for her - the tech also put two super thick layers of polish on her tiny nails so it took AGES to dry (not ideal for a five year old’s first manicure!) Overall I would say the descriptions on the website don’t match the reality of the services, and it’s not really worth paying extra to go here versus any other Vancouver nail spot.

I highly recommend Joyride. I’ve been coming here for my manicures and pedicures for a few years now. Fabulous service and my nails always look awesome. Don’t bother going anywhere else, I made that mistake and ended up back here so they could fix it! (Thank you, Jas!)
25 June 2023 7:19
Staff are so nice and did some really cute nail art! Looked exactly like the picture I gave. Thank you so much!
18 May 2023 14:38
I’ve been coming here for the past 6 months so it is about time I left a review. Thank you to Kristina for keeping my nails strong and looking good!
01 May 2023 9:32
Had a mani-pedi with Veronika and it was straight up amazing. She's a great conversationalist and her attention to detail is unparalleled - I left the salon feeling like I had brand new feet!
17 April 2023 18:24
Very disappointed and do not recommend this nail salon - at least not for bio gel manicures. I paid about $100 for a bio gel and shellac manicure, which usually lasts me at least 2.5 weeks. This time, it did not even last a week. Each nail broke at the same spot - another salon technician told me it was because the technician made the gel too heavy so my natural nails broke off. I have three nails left out of ten… I don’t think this is acceptable. I called the salon and felt badly doing so, as I don’t want anyone to get in trouble. I was told I was blackmailing them by requesting a full refund and by sharing I intended on leaving a review. She offered a complimentary mani but I don’t live in Vancouver and am no longer there and also would not feel comfortable and trusting to go back. The person also laughed at me on the phone. Unprofessional in multiple ways and poor customer service. Disappointed, to say the least. **I have pictures but couldn’t see how to post them.
08 March 2023 12:31
This was a delightful find for a nail salon - excellent customer service all around! The spa ambience has a positive and calming effect. I am definitely returning here.
13 February 2023 19:41
The manicure was not be so professional, looks like the master is beginner. We won’t visit again, I’m afraid.
12 February 2023 6:54
Very welcoming service with lovely staff probably i can admit that i found the best salon after a long time but i was so pleased with the results ️
30 January 2023 1:45
I LOVE Jash! She is sooo sweet but also pays a lot of attention to detail and does an absolutely beautiful job, every single time. Highly recommend.
03 January 2023 12:59
I had the best experience at this salon. My nail tech Jashan was amazing and was very engaging. The salon itself is beautiful and the non-toxic makes a difference in the atmosphere - no strong chemical smells. It breaks the boundaries of traditional salon service while providing an elevated experience. HIGHLY recommend.
09 December 2022 16:10
Best lash extensions in town! I like to have lashes look as natural as possible and Clara makes them look great! Always get compliment of them!
05 December 2022 6:35

28 November 2022 12:03
Always friendly and welcoming! I feel very taken care of each time I visit (which should be more often ;)
18 November 2022 7:54
One of the best beauti experiences in my life The first time when the quality of the conversation was even higher than all the beauty services (and those were beyond amazing). All the girls who greeted me in the salon were very easy-going and I felt unbelievably comfortable during all the procedures. And the facial care relaxing vibe was the best start of the weekend that I could ever have. Thank you Joyride team and wish you lots of happy visitors and even more loyal members️
17 November 2022 18:48
Such lovely ambience - especially when Anahita put on relaxing Spanish guitar. Her and Lee were super sweet, attentive, and welcoming. As a tourist not knowing what to expect, it was the perfect place. Plus I was able to book the day of (which they say is uncommon). Love that they use non-toxic products and still totally reasonably priced. Much gratitude xx
07 November 2022 13:57
Staff friendly but there was nothing in the service provided that justified charging 35-40% more than other salons. Too expensive for a pedicure!
01 November 2022 17:39
Navpreet Kaur is the best:) Please book her if you are going for Lash Tint and Lifting. She does amazing job!
27 October 2022 0:52
Lovely place, nice relaxing atmosphere that’s not super busy like walk in salons. I had Lee and she was a perfectionist and did my nails immaculately, would definitely recommend this place
26 October 2022 22:09
Gel pedicure is off on 3 of my toes after only 3 weeks, girl also made a rude comment about one of my toes. Won’t go back.

Two stars for this utterly horrible experience. Veronica, the woman who did my manicure and pedicure was amazing. I was getting one done for my wedding which was two days out. Very unfortunately, I had found out that morning that my mother was barred from getting on the plane that morning due to a cold coming on, and was not going to be attending my wedding. I was on the verge of tears explaining to the blonde receptionist that my mother was not coming to her appointment, just my sister and I. She coldly looked at me and said, “Well we have a cancellation policy. ” And charged me 100% of the service, while the woman who was originally supposed to do my service, worked on another client. So they did not lose money due to my mother’s absence. The receptionist said she could add a paraffin service to our appointment, which I agreed to, but we didn’t receive it. She was condescending to us during our appointments when she briskly told us not to take the sample nails out of the book. We tried to enjoy this experience, but it was honestly wretched… and about $100 dollars after tax. I got a half leg wax done and my knees were hairy at the end so I had to shave on my wedding day anyway. Do not waste your time and money here.
27 September 2022 2:39
Such a sweet little salon! So clean and welcoming! Veronica was my technician and she did an amazing job! She paid so much attention to detail and she was very sweet!
05 August 2022 9:39
Absolutely incredible salon! I recently moved to Vancouver and have been looking for a new nail salon and I am so happy to have finally found it! The first time I went, Lee and Nav were incredible that I couldn’t wait to go back. The salon itself is very nice and clean, the staff are friendly and the service is very thorough with a very relaxing hot towel and massage. They also have an excellent variety of colours. I can’t stop looking at my nails I love them so much! Thank you: ’)
07 April 2022 11:55
We took a small group from a local teen mentorship program to Joyride this weekend and we had the BEST experience. From booking to follow up, the staff were warm, flexible, knowledgable and accommodating. Also, their nail technicians did such beautiful work! Would highly recommend Joyride if you are looking for a place to go with your girlfriends or to simply treat yourself.
05 February 2022 6:31
I always love my nail services from Joyride. The technicians are lovely, their coffee and treats are delicious, and the atmosphere is inviting and welcoming. Can't wait for my next mani-pedi!
12 January 2022 0:02
Love Joyride for a mani or pedi! They have great vegan and cruelty free options, are very professional, and have provided a wonderful experience for a girl’s day at the salon!
Would recommend!

Please, avoid! My husband got me a gift card to this place, not sure why, i think he read "best non toxic" and he thought I would like that. I went there today. I have never written a review complaning about anything that I can remember, but I am still having a hard time from my experience today. Someone called Anahita Limouei waxed my face and my eyebrows and it was the most horrible experience I have had in a beauty saloon (not that I have visited many). At first I told her that I had sensitive skin in order for her to be more careful, she responded by saying "everyone has sensitive skin" and that her skin was "the most sensitive of all". I attempted to communicate once more without success. She was very violent and aggresive with her waxing, so much that she ripped of my skin (photos attached). When she noticed I was reacting to her aggresive touch she rubbed in a very hard manner a wet towel on my face. I shiver when I remember the moment. After that she forced me to put an aloe vera cream on my raw skin (which I knew would make it worse. I refused 3 times but she was very insistant) and followed this action by again- very violently- rubbing it off when she noticed- again- I was reacting to the substance. Now I have my face burned for christmas. The saloon proceeded to overcharge me a small amount of money (They billed separetly waxing of the face and eyebrows, while if one does the 2 procedures together they are cheaper- and earlier that day someone assured me doing this was possible). I was in such shock from the experience that when the receptionist asked me if I wanted to leave a tip I just ended up leaving the rest of the value of my gift card since I would never want to set foot in there again. Please, find somewhere else. The service here is truly awful (at least the waxing service by Anahita).

I hade a gel+ mani here 6 days ago. I didn’t go to any saloon for two years because of covid so i was scared at first, but every thing was so clean and i felt so relaxed there. Anahita did my nails she was so friendly and did the exact thing i wanted. I didn’t write the review till now because i wanted to make sure my nails last. They look good after 6 days. Ps: They have happy hours which I used and saved some money.

*****Don’t come here unless you want your appointment cancelled last minute*****

I had a scheduled appointment for a manicure at 9am. I arrived at my appointment at 9am and was told that the individual doing my service is not in yet. I was seated at a table, picked out a colour, and waited ten minutes. During this ten minutes, the other technician was making multiple phone calls. I was then told that my manicurist would not be coming in today due to illness and that I would have to reschedule for another day.

I drove 45 minutes from Surrey to attend the appointment and paid for parking. I understand that in our current times, people should not be out in public if they are not feeling well, however it would have been nice to be informed prior to my scheduled appointment time that my service would be cancelled as opposed to 10 minutes after my appointment was supposed to have started.

When I expressed my grievance to the salon, I was told that the technician doing my service had called in sick at 8: 40 (meaning they waited 30 minutes before informing me of the cancelled appointment)

When I expressed my grievance to the owner, Irina, she explained that the salon didn’t open until 9am and the “receptionist did her best” so that’s why I wasn’t told prior to 9am. When I asked why I wasn’t informed when I arrived at 9am and had to wait until 9: 10a to have my appointment cancelled and why the reception didn’t contact me until 9: 40am, she explained that the reception wasn’t scheduled to come in until later that day and it wouldn’t have made sense for the receptionist to come in earlier. She also belittled that extra 10 minutes I had to wait. She continued to explain that in their industry things are done differently, that’s how things are, and that this situation was beyond their control.

The owner offered me 20% my next service along with a complimentary add-on but I continually explained that 20% off does not cover the gas and parking I paid to attend the first appointment. The owner told me that’s the best she can do. The owner verbally told me she understood, however her actions and words conveyed a different message. I definitely left feeling treated unfairly, uncared for as a client, and unheard.

My first and last time there for sure.
18 October 2021 22:38
I always love it here, great atmosphere, talented artists and a range of vegan and cruelty free colors and gels to choose from!
11 October 2021 23:33
Totally enjoyed my first time at Joyride! Got a lash tint and gel mani with french tip. Anahita did the lash tint and was so gentle and precise, it was easily the best lash experience I've ever had (others have left me crying). 3 weeks later and the color is still going strong! Navpreet was my nail artist and she was fabulous. Really skilled at applying and her french tip is super clean. She was so patient with me as I struggled to pick a color! She gave me an awesome recommendation and I love my nails. This is the longest a gel mani has lasted on my nails and it's not chipping or separating at all. Would recommend Joyride 100%, it's such a cute salon and the staff are excellent.
07 October 2021 1:08
Really nice experience, lovely friendly staff and my nails are still beautiful (albeit minus polish now) a week later!
21 September 2021 17:29
I was so fortunate to have sofi to do my pedi, but unfortunately that was the only positive thing I can say about my very FIRST experience with Joyride.
I booked two services for hard gel repair on hand and regular pedi two days prior to my appointment, walked in to the salon and found out they booked me just for a color change mani instead of repair. I wish the coordinator was not on the phone or in the back room for the entire time I was there so we could sort things out sooner and after quite some time that she came and I told her the situation I didn’t get even a simple apology or anything for that matter, Costumer service there the absolute worst for me!
Joyride is a very good place to do your nails but you have to go through a very weak costumer service first which I do not recommend.
19 September 2021 4:45
I loved my experience here! The salon is super cute, clean, and has absolutely zero chemical smells. The staff is super friendly and all the services are extremely hygienic. They offer waterless pedicures, and even for their regular pedicures, they use separate basins and disinfect them completely between customers.
18 September 2021 1:01
Today was my first time at Joyride, although I've been wanting to go forever! Being vegan, I was excited to support a local business that follows these practices. Pleasantly surprised by the overall esthetic, good COVID measures in place and great service. Anahita did a beautiful pedicure and was very kind and sweet. I will definitely be coming back!
15 September 2021 19:25
Gracious staff, work well done, but calluses on my feet have been removed more completely at many other pedicures salons. Also rushed out before nails dry.
02 September 2021 2:53
Nav is so lovely! Had a great pedicure and such a relaxing time! Thank you so much, I'll be back!
11 August 2021 16:22
I love Joyride! The girls here are so friendly and do such a nice job. Would definitely recommend a Maia pedi
01 August 2021 18:32
I had a half set of classic lashes done at Joyride yesterday and it was the BEST lash experience I've ever had! Clara had me in and out within 45 minutes and her work is amazing. I won't be going anywhere else!
31 July 2021 4:24
Great pedicure - very professional.lovely atmosphere. Extremely clean and relaxing space. My nails look fantastic and my feet are super soft.
23 July 2021 13:45
My second visit to joyride for a mani pedi and it was great. I also got nail art for the first time and love it, Lena was able to achieve exactly what I was looking for and give me some great advice. Highly recommend this place.
22 July 2021 12:13
Staff and place was nice but I would not recommend the last lift. It is done super unprofessionally: my bottom lashes were permed along with the top, and not even all my top lashes were lifted. The lift isn’t even, and the shape is more of a 90 degree angle than a nice lift. And that’s not it, the tips of my lashes are bending in all directions and the tips also touch my eyelids causing major discomfort. They don’t even offer a refund:/
15 July 2021 15:09
Joyride is a beautifully place. Such a “Joy” to sit and be pampered for a bit by lovely professionals. And my feet look great!
08 July 2021 21:16
Got a Lash Lift + Brow Lamination here and I LOVE IT! Worked with my natural shape to define and freshen up my look!

Nav made me feel really comfortable and did such an amazing job! Highly recommend!
27 June 2021 18:43
An unique salon on a busy 4th street but once you’re in, you’ll not be bothered by the hustle and bustle of Vancouver at least I didn’t. I got my lashes & gel pedicure done on a same appointment after work and it was really nice. They gave me free jar of lotion. Not a sample but a full jar! Definitely will come again! Nice & friendly staff!
21 June 2021 13:10
Took my 5 years old girl for pedicure. Staff were very friendly and nice. My daughter loves them.
17 June 2021 12:22
I went for a pedicure as a mother's day gift yesterday. It was a strange experience. It was end of day, and I assumed the staff might be tired after a busy day, but I felt almost unwelcome in a way. Between the lack lustre pedicure I received where I had to guide the pedicurist through missing steps and the polish is streaky, and the fact that the manager asked me right in front of the pedicurist how much I wanted to tip so she could add it to the card and settle it up before she left - it all felt like a lesser than desired experience.
07 June 2021 20:38
Always a great experience at Joyride. Have been going there for years and really appreciate their thoughtful and responsible approach to a Beauty Salon. Clean, lots of non-toxic options and professional and well trained staff. Always leave with happy hands and feet!
08 May 2021 7:23
I enjoyed my first mani in over a year at Joyride in March 2021. It was a great experience, with full Covid protocols in place. I love the 'donut sprinkle' nail art that I requested - it looks fabulous and is exactly what I asked for in celebration for spring. I also had my brows done by my lovely esthetician Navpreet, and am very happy with the results there too. An excellent experience all around!
29 April 2021 22:44
I always have a great experience at Joyride and am so happy to have a natural salon in Vancouver! The salon is clean, the staff are friendly, and my nails always look great and last a long time. I also love their selection of natural products. I gave a few of the products to friends during the holidays and they were a big hit!
29 April 2021 11:12
Today was my first time with Joyride and I must say, my husband and I had a great time. Booking appointment was really easy (we did it through phone call). Both our manicure and pedicure stations were ready before we arrived (which was very professional). We were asked to sanitize our hands upon entering, all staff was wearing masks and there weren’t any other clients except we two (which made us feel comfortable and safe). Anahita was my technician while Melinda was my husband’s. They both were extremely knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. We even indulged in small talks which was sweet I thought. They also provided hot towels after pedicure and manicure which was heavenly. I loved the vibe too?
Overall a pleasant experience. I will be trying their facial too. Highly recommended.
28 April 2021 22:52
Leila did an amazing job on my brows, which are not easy to tame! Very covid conscious, she even sanitized the thread. Will be my go to place for eyebrows now.
26 April 2021 3:16
I highly recommend Joyride for a lovely experience of pampering. I love that their products are all clean, non toxic and very good quality. I really enjoyed Melinda who did my pedicure, she was so open and warm! Over all really grateful for this experience I got today, and I will definitely be back!
01 April 2021 13:30
First time coming to Joyride, I had a great experience from the moment I walked in. I love that they have non toxic, cruelty free vegan products. They have a huge variety of colors to choose from (it's a tough decision to choose a colour). I had a mani and pedí both were wonderful. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I will be coming back.
20 March 2021 23:26
Joyride salon manager Irina was very welcoming and professional. She helped us to make our nails appointment, which was a part of a bachelorette party.
Complementary fruitty green tea, experienced and pleasant nail technician Melinda, a whole wall of nail polish colours to choose from and beautiful salon design create chic and welcoming atmosphere.
Joyrode salon is also a sustainable and zero-waste company with a line of exclusive skin and nails products.
Thank you for such an amazing experience! I will definitely return there to pamper myself again very soon.
11 March 2021 10:37
My first visit to Joyride has been amazing! I was warmly greeted by Irina, salon manager, an offered a hot cup of tea. My nail technician, Anahita, was very welcoming and professional. She did my nails for my best friend's wedding and they looked so gorgeous. I love that this salon has its own skincare line that you can purchase, as well as other services that are all about sustainability and reducing our impact on environment. I will be coming back to do my nails again!
10 March 2021 7:47
My experience at Joyride was nothing short of excellent! Staff were very friendly and helpful, the salon was very clean and cute, and they did a great job on my mani pedi! And I LOVE that they use non-toxic products! For my next mani-pedi I will definitely be going back to Joyride!
22 February 2021 1:10
Want beautiful nails without the harsh chemicals? Joyride is THE spot in Vancouver. Skilled staff use safer products to create dream gel nails (or regular) without the harsh chemicals. They also offer skin care options with the best products available. Best place for care free pampering!
25 January 2021 20:39
I just had my first gel manicure at Joyride, and had such a great experience with Anahita! She did a great job on my nails, and is such a sweet girl with a very kind heart. She made sure I was happy with my nail arts. She was even pickier than myself on her work! I will definitely be back!
27 February 2020 7:28
I’ve bought multiple gift certificates for friends for this place and finally got the opportunity to go myself for the prenatal (Sofia) pedicure. I was so looking forward to it - and it was a real let down. They were running late, I wasn’t offered water or tea, no special treatment other than a vegan friendly nail polish remover (I had no polish on), no information offered about the products used, no massage to speak of. Pedicure itself was fine - but definitely not what I expected. Very disappointing. Hope they improve this service.
10 February 2020 19:41
I usually don't really like to get my nails done, because I felt uncomfortable at most places I tried in the past, but Joyride is totally different! The atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. I've so far had my nails done by Melinda, Tsukasa & Anahita and all of them were amazing, friendly and did a great job! I haven't tried any of their other services yet, but am excited to do so in the future as I trust they'll be just as awesome.
10 August 2019 21:05
Bright, clean and comfortable salon with great selection of quality brand nail polish and colors. Great quality of work and friendly staff.
09 August 2019 7:35
Had a great time here on my first visit and will definitely go back. The atmosphere was lovely and the salon was clean. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I was very happy with my pedicure!
13 July 2019 19:10
I just got my first-ever mani-pedi at Joyride and it was amazing! I’ve never gotten one before because I have tiny microscopic nails and didn’t think it would be worth it- but it totally was! I had Maki and Ayaki and they were super friendly and had an amazing eye for detail. I’ll definitely be going back!
