Located on lively Rue Fleury Est in Ahuntsic, Ongles Anh John focuses on classic manicures, long-wear gel/shellac, and practical pedicures for everyday wear or events. Regulars note that Sylvie’s attention to detail shows in even layering of sparkles and patient shaping for a party-ready finish. Budget-minded visitors appreciate fairer pricing than many nearby salons and the option to use regular polish brands like Essie or bring a favourite shade from home. Because reviews mention both gentle and less-gentle experiences, new customers tend to do best by showing a reference photo, confirming price add-ons before polish, and asking for a softer e-file speed if they have sensitive nails or skin. For quick touch-ups or a value pedicure before a weekend, the salon’s straightforward approach—and walk-in friendliness—can be a fit.
Services
- Manicure – Regular or gel/shellac with shaping (square, round, almond), cuticle tidy, and glossy topcoat; clients may bring their own polish if preferred.
- Gel/Shellac – Longer-lasting colour with a focus on smooth coverage; popular for sparkle layering and micro-glitter looks.
- Pedicure – Soak, exfoliation, nail trim and shape, cuticle care, and careful polish application for sandal-ready toes.
- Nail Art – From subtle accents to full sparkle designs; Sylvie is frequently praised for precise, layered glitter that photographs beautifully.
- Repairs – Simple fixes (like a broken nail) are often handled quickly; some patrons report complimentary touch-ups when it’s minor and recent.
Pro tip for first-timers: Arrive with your inspo image, agree on shape/length and total cost before service starts, and mention any skin or nail sensitivity so the technician can go gently.

Reviews
- “Sparkle perfection.” A party guest says Sylvie layered different sizes of glitter for dimension, with precision and reasonable pricing—“nails perfectly ready for the party.”
- “Too rough for me.” One visitor reports burning from the file and limited colour options that day; they chose no tip and would not return.
- “Mixed but fair.” A detailed review notes long-lasting gel, occasional wait times even with appointments, some e-file heat, but overall better pricing than nearby salons—and a free fix for one broken nail.
- “Hygiene concern.” A pedicure client says a dropped pumice was reused without rinsing and a big toenail was clipped too deep, leading them to skip polish and leave disappointed.
- “Pro results.” Multiple short notes praise Sylvie’s skill and friendliness, calling her an absolute pro and promising to return.
Bottom line: For budget-friendly nails on Rue Fleury Est, Ongles Anh John can be a convenient pick—especially if someone wants sparkly gel or simple, neat classics without downtown prices. To set the appointment up for success, confirm the look and price in advance, request a gentle technique, and check the final shape before topcoat. Done right, visitors leave with clean lines, glossy colour, and event-ready sparkle at a price point that keeps regular upkeep realistic.
