I visited the Upkeep Shoppe a few weeks back with my mother and sister for pedicures. My pedicure has not chipped or peeled - STILL!
They were super friendly and chatty but did not dominate our conversation.
The white tea foot bath was a really nice touch and I loved the tea that they brought us to drink.
The nail bar was full, yet it still felt cozy and relaxed. They were also very...

During our trip to Ottawa I thought it would be nice to try something new together and give my BF a little bit of pampering for Valentine's Day. I found this place using Yelp, was able to call and make an appointment easily. They were very professional and very good with providing me with explanations of their services. We were able to change time appointments effortlessly and the receptionist... more
Best nail bar in Ottawa! Hands down.
The salon is so cozy and clean. The staff there are ALL talented and very kind. I love having conversations while I get my nails done and the time just flies by! I also enjoy the cup of tea they serve with every service!
I have had shellac and regular mani. I don't mind spending a little more to get my nails did by a professional, sanitary and gorgeous...

Friendly and professional - highly recommended. I visited this spa a few months ago and the experience was great! I will come back again and will be recommending this place to friends and family.
If you haven't stopped by this gem of a local business, I have no idea what you're waiting for. Go! Now! The Upkeep Shoppe is a gender neutral skin and nail bar that has impeccable service and great results.

My first check-in! I attended a Yelp Elite event here (thanks Andrea!) and had the pleasure of experiencing some of the services the Upkeep Shoppe has to offer. We were incredibly lucky to have a mini neck and shoulder massage during our facial tutorials, and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I originally discovered this adorable little shop while walking down Preston in Little Italy, but hadn't...

I had never heard of the Upkeep Shoppe prior to the Yelp elite event I attended here the other night. I'm glad to have attended the evening, because this is a great little spot. It's located on Preston, just up the street from Absolute Comedy. The storefront is absolutely adorable.
When I arrived here, I was greeted by many smiling faces, and a staff member offered to take my jacket. I mingled...

What a lovely place! As my friend and I walked across Preston, snow was falling, we were getting ready for the first big snow fall in Ottawa. The window was lit up, and we were greeted by smiling faces, laughter and cheer as soon as we got through the door.
The decor is just what you need in a spa, wood shelving, tiled floors, comfy stools at nail bars, benches, like couches, line the pedicure...

Visited The Upkeep Shoppe for Yelp's Pre-Holiday Pamperfest for a complimentary skin bar facial. The shop itself is unpretentious... as a not-always-so-girly-girl I didn't feel totally out of place like I sometimes do when I visit a spa/salon/etc type place.
My level of knowledge about my skin can be summed up by the beginning of the facial when I was asked, "What's your skin type?" and I just...
