About Scratch My Back Nail Studio

Scratch My Back Nail Studio is a home-based nail salon located in a quiet residential area adjacent to Pickering Village in Ajax, Ontario. The studio provides a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy your nail services and is fully equipped with high definition TV. 

Annual inspections are conducted by the Durham Region Board of Health and their Personal Services Settings Protocol is diligently followed. Guests can be assured that their safety is always a top priority. All implements and tools used in a service are either metal and disinfected between clients, or single-use items that are disposed of after each use. Only professional products are used and you will never find nail products containing MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) in the studio.

ONYX Beauty Systems and CND Brisa gel enhancement products are used in the studio, as well as Young Nails L&P (acrylic).  Laura has chosen these products to best represent her business and is proud to be associated with these forward-thinking companies who produce superior products for the quality-conscious consumer.

In addition, all pedicures are provided in a Footsie Bath with disposable liners that are discarded after each client.   Guests will enjoy and appreciate the footlogix products that are used in their pedicures, providing optimum results.

All services are by appointment only, and payment may be made by Visa, Mastercard, Debit or cash (no cheques please). Please make alternate arrangements for child minding during your appointment. Street parking is available.

Important Notice to Clients

Your appointment time is reserved for you.  If you are unable to keep your appointment please contact the studio to cancel or rebook, with a minimum of 18 hours notice.  If it is after-hours you may leave a voicemail on the studio phone, or contact the studio by email. Occasionally  proper notice cannot be given when:  weather conditions may prohibit safe travel, a family emergency occurs,  or sudden illness takes priority.  These situations will always be considered!   If you arrive for your scheduled appointment more than 15 minutes late, you will be given the option of receiving a shortened service, or rescheduling your appointment so as not to disrupt the schedule of the clients booked after you. 

New clients have the option of booking their appointment through the secure Genbook site or contacting the studio directly. In all cases new clients will be asked to provide a valid credit card to secure their appointment. You will not be charged anything unless you do not show up for your appointment, and do not call to cancel or reschedule 18 hours prior to your appointment. Genbook appointments will automatically generate a reminder email 24 hours in advance of your appointment. This email will contain links that you can easily and quickly access which will allow you to cancel online with sufficient notice.  Please note that sometimes these emails may not make it through your spam filter - it is your responsibility to make note or your appointment date and time when it is booked.  If you have any questions about this policy please contact the studio.
