The best nail salon in the area. Everyone here extremely professional and nice and the salon is always clean and spotless. You also get a complimentary drink as a bonus.However, today I was getting a pedicure and the lady next to me had a health problem that affected her toe nails and these wonderful people went above and beyond to not only just put polish on her nails but they were able to build up her nails so they looked like normal toe nails. The customer never asked for that and she was extremely grateful for them saying that no other salon had ever offered to do that before, you can just tell that their small act made her day.
I live right down the road from this salon. The first time I went I had a great experience. The nail artist was patient and kind. I told her about my fingers and nails being very sensitive. She was very gentle and easy. She did not cut me one time I was so happy! I came the second time asking around for her and she was gone. So I had to have someone else do them. It was a Sunday and there were only 2 people working. I waited an hour to be helped. I warned the lady about my nails being sensitive and how they burn if they get cut or if the drill hits the skin on top of having acetone placed on the burn or cut after ward. It is very bothersome for me. She was very kind but was terrible at doing nails. Because they were packed she was in a hurry and literally cut and drilled my skin on every single finger. I couldn’t even do the dishes for a day or two because it hurt so bad. I do not recommend this place at all.
This was a last resort for me on a Sunday but let me tell you I am so pleased with finding this little gem. The ladies were sweet and professional, I didn’t catch the techs nails that did mine but she was patient and helped me work through stepping out of my comfort zone with color and design. I am so obsessed with my nails it’s not even funny, enough to come on here to post a review. If you’re looking for a good quality spot that makes sure you’re taken care of this is the one. Hands down will make the 30 minute drive every time I need my nails done from now on 🥰🥰🥰
I had an awesome experience being their my first time however I was almost done and the lady doing my nails wanted to make my nails were completely dry, the owner whispered in her ear to hurry up. That’s bad customer service as a owner. After paying $112 and was happy to come back and then she did that, I will definitely be taking my business somewhere else. My money is just as important as the next.
Wow! My experience was amazing! Positive energy, friendly service and techs that paid great attention to detail!! I was immediately greeted and seated in no-time for my walk-in gel manicure... The prices were reasonable too! I was in and out in no-time! I will definitely be back! Thanks VK⁵ Nails & Spa!!!
My favorite place to go. My gel polish on my toes lasts over a month 🥴 Great place of business, friendly, a little pricey but worth it.Offers soda, water and wine.
It was fine. the quality isnt great. the actual applying of the acrylic was perfect but the painting was not good at all. the nail tec was sweet. the quality was just bad.
Ive been here twice so far as a walk-in and was lucky to sit with Ivy and Danny whom I had been hoping for per the reviews. The drinks are complimentary, however I was never offered anything on my first visit. Although I already have some gel peeling on two of my nails after a week, I will definitely come back since Ivy and Danny have been so courteous.
Massage and pedicure was great but my gel nails were ok and didn’t hold for a week
It was alright. The woman who did my pedi I feel like she did it very rushed and didnt really do a great job. I also paid extra for a 10 min massage and they didnt set a timer and I was checking with my phone and it was only 6 minutes. I didnt want to be confirtationale because she couldnt really understand English but Id say its a decent price except just to make sure you get what you ask for when you go in.
Worst experience ever. I went in there being able to walk. I complained that my feet were burning during the pedicure. I got up and couldnt walk properly. They scrapped my feet raw and blistered from the product burning my skin. Had to get 5 bandaids put on my toes. Oh and told me i came in there with my toes raw. Spent $47 they and wanted to bargain a discounted refund. What the hell. Have to call back to hopefully get a refund. Do not go there.
Since I have been coming to them the atmosphere is always amazing they take pride in their work and I would recommend anyone to come here if you want great service and a good relaxing pedicure or manicure they even pamper you
My nail tech is Kathy and she has been my nail tech for over 8 years and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for your nail needs and art☺️The environment is so nice and relaxing 😌
They do nails nicely and really good but I waited about 2 hours to get my nails only done and watched over 4 people who got there after I did go before me...really fustrating. I will go until I find a better nail salon. The wait was to long and unpleasant and I wasn’t even addressed about waiting as I watched people get their nails done.
I highly recommend this nail shop my nail tech is kathy and she have been doing my nails for over 10 years never have I been disappointed she always does a wonderful job
Consistently excellent service here for years now since they opened. You get Mary if you’re lucky and it will be the best pedicure of your life. She digs in deep and doesn’t rush and it’s a whole experience with her. I’ve moved from Riverside now but still come back here.
I like th location, based on my first two visits, there were two young ladies who were helpful in explaining better ways to care for my nails and services. I was happy with the end results. Nevertheless, on my 3rd visit, I find out the ladies had been padding my bill. I paid 100$ each visit, pedicure and SNS for my nails. My third visit was 60$. The manager took care of me and the two ladies are no longer employed there. (Not of my doing). But again, the service is great, a restful atmosphere, and the prices are standard.
Great service a little prices. Just make sure to take polish off or they charge you 5 dollars to take off. Crazy
Great service and really great vibe. The ambiance is really nice here.
I have used this facility several times before without issues. Today, however, the pedicure tech cut not one, but both of my big toes with the cuticle cutter, causing me to bleed. One of them is now especially tender. I also have either a burn from a hot stone or a welt from a nail scratch on the back of my calf. The paint is also sloppy and uneven. I dont know if she is new, but she needs retraining.
I honestly dont know what acrylic they use but it’s horrible, my fingers WERE STINGING the entire time as she applied them, Nails turned out pretty but after about 2 weeks they started to crack and my real nails became flimsy,Wouldnt recommend for a fullset but would recommend for a pedicure.
Fast love the two nail techs that sit in the front
This is what coffin nails should be. Ive been to other nail salons and been overall okay/satisfied with the look and upkeep. But here, I was impressed and appreciative of the process and detail to really do it right. To get it even. Its the little, smallest details but 😍 it made the difference and I actually LOVE my nails, not just... satisfied. The younger lady who helped me near the front, Ivy I think, you were on point today. Best full set Ive received, and it was last minute for me, a walk-in an hour before they closed. Clean place, nice front, friendly family like environment. This is my new place.
Friendly service and good sanitation practices! Very happy with how my nails turned out (:
First time there and very impressed! Me and my moms enjoyed are services and the salon is very nice. The nail techs were very professional and did wonderful work. I had SNS and my nails are beautiful, the nail tech name was Top, he is a perfectionist and I appreciate that, made sure my shape was on point and the finish if the powder is so smooth and leveled. I made an appt. for my next visit. 😁
This is by far my favorite pedicure place. I get a pedicure once every 1-2 months and this is the only shop I’ll go to now. Staff are great, pedicures are awesome, and the neck massage after the super deluxe makes it more than worth it.
New girl there did my nails too thin they broke after the next day then when l asked her to fix she tried to charge me 5$ said it was my fault. l spend good money here l will not be giving them my money anymore
If I could rate this place 0 I would. I went here to reward myself after passing my first course of medical school. Money is tight, and I don’t get my nails done all the time - only for special occasions. I picked out a peachy pink nude, and somehow ended up with bubblegum pink nails...strike 1. Strike 2 was the pedicure - the lady was filing so hard that she cut the skin under my big toe. Strike 3 came the very next day after I got my nails done - I got a gel manicure and NOT EVEN 24 HOURS LATER the color on my index finger completely peeled off. I went back to get it re-done. I found the color I picked- looked ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the color on my nails - clearly I wasn’t crazy to think that the color they gave me was not what I picked. At least they were nice about re-doing my index finger. Since they couldn’t match the color I had, they gave me two ‘accent’ glitter nails. They also applied another top coat on all of my nails. Fast forward to today (4 days since the mani/pedi) - the color on my left middle finger is completely peeled off, and the color on my right index finger is chipping. WHAT THE ACTUAL ****!? I have never had such a horrible gel experience! I’m not hard on my nails either! I don’t know if it’s the job they do or the products they use, but I would not recommend this place to anyone for gel nails! Horrible.
Love The Service I Received! Definitely will be back!!!
AMAZING! Even the basic package is awesome and worth it! Bill paid extra attention to my toes and made my feet brand new! The massages were pro level. Absolutely worth it.
I brought my Boyfriend here for his first ever pedicure. We have been back 3 times now and we always get great service. Awesome foot and leg massage. Love how they finish the service with a shoulder massage. We always feel so relaxed!
I love Kat and my redNails!
Quality service clean pleasant atmosphere
My gf goes here to get her nails done, I usually go with her, and pick them out, shape, length and color. The staff is nice, professional, and do a great job. They offer deals with membership too, and they offer wine, water and or soda while ur getting ur nails done. Kinda upscale. They also offer gift cards. 100 dollar cards come with an extra 20 on the house, which is awesome.
I love coming here! The nail techs are so kind and patient! The service is great and everything is very clean!
Leydis is amazing!! in addition to being very helpful and patient, she is so nice and funny! amd shes fantastic at doing nails? I am absolutely obsessed with the nails I got done here
Very nice place, clean, all workers were wearing a face mask. I also like the set up, didn’t have to wait long. And the prices are very reasonable, I will be coming back
My nail tech 5 years recently moved to Mandarin so I have been on the hunt for a new nail salon after being pointed disappointed in almost every one in the Avondale/riverside area I finally found my go to! Everything is very clean And sanitized. They use the disposable plastic coverings for the pedicures which is a must. I had seventh as my technician she was wonderful! She took her time and made sure that I got what I paid for I choose a deluxe pedicure Which includes hot stone massage she performed a pedicure for over a hour while sitting me back in the chair to relax I’ve never had such a good pedicure in my life I will definitely be coming back highly recommend her 🙌🏼
I gave this place a try as my usual nail tech was unavailable.The People were nice but overall it was terrible; I should have known better going on a Saturday. However, I waited a while to get my pedicure which went fine but then I waited more than an hour to get seated for nails as there were only 2 techs & like 5 others on pedicure, no balance. There was no courtesy to advise of how long of a wait while sitting there. The gentleman that did my nails took twice as long as he kept getting up with no pre warning to service the front desk. He forgot to buff my left hand set of nails due to the many distractions he kept tending to. I really hope another first timer does not have the same experience I did bc I will not be back. PS. A little over a week later & all of my nails have started to lift & the price was a little hefty as well😒
The atmosphere is very relaxing. Its a beautiful salon. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there, all except the design done on my nails. If you dont have the skills, just say so. Theres no shame in politely declining to do a service, your not proficient in. I will definitely return, however, I will go to a different manicurist. I may revise my 4 stars in the future. I do recommend this salon. My nails themselves were done beautifully, and my pedicure was luxurious. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. They have several nail stations, and pedicure chairs, so a group could be accommodated comfortably.
Go see Seven! She is amazing 😊Enjoyed my mani pedi, this woman is an expert on how to soothe sore legs and feet. Will definitely be back!
We had a reservation and still had to wait forever. Then they sat me and left my friend to wait. The guy that did her pedi cut her multiple times and put wring color on twice!
I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done. ivy is the absolute best she is so sweet and can literally do anything you want to your nails. Its a clean establishment and I always feel welcome!
Needed a quick fill in and I was in and out in 35mins with BEAUTIFUL nails! Thank you so much! Will definitely be back :)
Great service. Complimentary beverages.
This is the only nail salon I go to. Everyone is super nice and no matter who does my nails, they always turn out perfect. Thanks!
Very clean, bright and elegant salon. Jessica took her time and did a wonderful job on my pedicure and dip powder mani.
Very good professional experience. I will be going back. This is my new nail place. They give you sweets while serving you, love it!!!!
GOOD NAIL TECHS. LOVING MY RED NAILS LIKE MY MOM.
It was an awesome experience and I look forward to returning soon.
I came here on a whim and I love that it isnt loud with music, you immediately get sent to soak, they offer drinks while you wait and get serviced. I didnt catch the name of my tech unfortunately, but he did a great job on my service!
Absolutely amazing service!! Ive been to many nail salons around Jacksonville for the past 10 years but this one is by far the best! I will definitely be returning. Thank you for your service and the quality of my pedicure/manicures
Wow these ladies (and men) really put in the work. The are definitely playful but not in a rude type of way. The lady who worked with me really checked on me the entire time to see if I’m in pain. Would definitely come back!
Ivy did an excellent job on my nails & eyebrows. Guess Ive found my new salon!
Well let me just say I love my nails, but here is the issue. I went online where is states a liquid gel overlay is $35. I called at 6:58PM and asked if it was too late to come get an overlay on my nails, due to them closing at 7:30PM. I was advised “No, you come and we seat you right away”. I arrived less than 5 minutes because I was already heading that way. Anywho I was told where to sit and a guy came and sat down, didn’t speak much. I explained my service and he begin to work. A little too rough for my taste, he split one of my natural nails with the tool; but it happens I guess. Anyway once he completed my overlay he asked what color I wanted, I picked out. BTW it was a solid black gel with some sparkle powder. I heard the guy up front ask what my services was and I heard him tell him “Gel overlay”.. the rest of conversation went in a different language. Long story short my total was a whopping $65! I have no artificial nails, or pedicure etc. I just don’t understand how a $35 overlay job jumped to $65. Even if you charge me $20 for color it should be $65. Needless to say I’m torn because my nails are beautiful, and I appreciate the time, just don’t understand the price and why. I feel maybe I was overcharged because I was there after closing? Unsure. But as much as I like the work I cannot go back due to the prices. I tipped the guy and said goodnight. Sighs... hard finding good nail places (That goes gel overlay) and now I have to keep searching. Maybe someone can explain the prices and I will feel a little better but I just think it’s very steep for what I got. Again outside the roughness and high tab, my nails are beautiful. I’m afraid how much I’ll have to spend got a fill in 😩
Disappointed in getting dip nails done for a wedding I was in. They chipped and cracked within two days.
My nails are always how I want them.
Best “standard” pedicure I’ve received in a long time! The gentleman was very detailed and took his time making sure I had a great experience. Best bang for your buck as far as a generic pedicure goes. The atmosphere was very clean and friendly. I will definitely return, and I will recommend to friends!
I got an eyebrow wax and they used one stick for me, dipping back into the main bowl of wax numerous times. Not only is this disgusting under nornal circumstances, were in the middle of a pandemic so every extra precaution should be made; no couth. I wont be returning.
What a fancy place! I enjoyed the personalized service. It was very elegant and relaxing... Well worth the investment of time and money. They take more time than normal salons which could be a plus or minus depending on your goal of a quickie or a truly spa-like experience. This is definitely a spa.I enjoyed having the option of hot tea. It added to the quality of my experience. The quality of the nail service itself was not the best though.
I came in with my boyfriend today and got a luxury pedicure, and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. I dont know his name, but the gentleman who did my pedicure had magic hands. My boyfriend even got a classic pedi to try it, and he even enjoyed himself, also. And the manicure I ended up getting was very well done and I am very pleased with how well they treat their customers. I am definitely going to come back when I visit Jacksonville again and I definitely recommend this place for my friends!!
Kenny did an amazing job!! I love my nails and will definitely be back 😊
Great service, no long wait. Came in and went right back. They were very nice, even when I changed my mind 3 times about the color I wanted. She actually helped me find the perfect shade. The place was clean and sanitary. I loved my entire experience. Not to mention how amazing the massage was. Will definitely come back.
Probably THEE WORST pedicure of my life, I had an older guy who was absolutely sweet but clearly had no business servicing anyone in the nail salon. There was another woman that had to come over and help him clean around my toe nails. If I come back it’s likely to see the woman who helped him....... Hence the two stars instead of one.
Had an ombré matte full set by Ben and he was absolutely AMAZING!!! He was so sweet and he made sure my nails were PERFECT! This is by far the best my nails have ever looked. Definitely requesting Ben next time I come in.
I’m a continuous client here and they never fail me I say what I want and get exactly that their pedicures are the best and Fullsets won’t disappoint.
Received a $75 gift card from my brother after raving about how well Mary scrubbed your feet during a pedicure. Used $38 of the gift card and came back to use the $37 balance. At the register an older man informed me that there was a zero balance on the gift card. I know for a fact there was a $37 balance as it was written on the card after VK ran it during my last visit. The gift card is specifically for VK, purchased at their location and business. Unlike a visa, American Express, or MasterCard gift card, VKs gift cards can ONLY be used at their Five Points location. Therefore, I do not understand how $37 was used when I had possession of the card and only used it once with a remaining balance. The older gentleman was absolutely no help and simply gave me the owners number to call (which went unanswered). Its very dishonest and poor business practice to encourage returning customers to invest in your business then do nothing to safeguard them against potential fraud (as I have no idea how and when the $37 was used) or even try to resolve the issue. As a customer I came in their establishment, raved about their service (specifically one great employee) then was severely disappointed with their record keeping and lack of support to find out what happened to the money on their own gift card. Trust is the cornerstone of anything great. Unfortunately, VK lacks this trait and I cannot in good conscience recommend this business. There are too many nail salons that are cheaper and provide better service. $37 was stolen and I still dont know how that occurred when the the only time the card came out of my wallet was when it was handed to a VK employee to pay for services on two occasions. So sad that my brother thought to spend $75 at this business that cannot be trusted.
Very clean, great pedicure, free Diet Coke, and rhe gentlemen was very sweet. First time here, will be back.
First time visit. Very friendly staff. The salon was very clean and tools were individual and sterilized. The gentleman doing my pedicure did not rush and did a beautiful job. I will definitely be returning.
Had a horrible experience complained to the nail person for them not to do anything or fix the problem. Will not recommend for guys they suggest the higher amount then do very basic work. The callus removal is a joke. When youpay close to 50 for a pedicure you expect to walk out feeling different unfortunately that was not the case will go to different shop to fix the damage
Gorgeous salon. Friends nail techs, but the lady rubbed hair off of my leg when doing my hot stone massage during my pedicure. Everything was amazing except that
Absolutely love this place!! Great prices and wonderful staff and customer service. Whit is the absolute best ever, especially in shaping!! But all the techs are great. Altogether an awesome establishment.
I love this place! Been there a few times and always left happy! They take alot of care over you, the place is very clean and they provide wonderful customer service. I usually get a pedicure and have had different people each time, yet the quality is always excellent. The massage chairs are lovely and its a very relaxing environment. Definitely recommend!
Pretty amazing! The customer service was excellent as well as the service. Very satisfied and will return!
There were three of us that wanted to try a new place to get our nails done today. We were happy that we could make an appointment and not have to wait so long to get pampered. Our Techs took their time and did an awesome job. Salon was very nice and clean, awesome customer service. Were very satisfied and have decided this is our new place!!!
I just went into this establishment early this morning and was greeted by a very unwelcoming man. I had looked at the Reviews before hand and saw that they weren’t too bad and one of their reviewers posted a picture of a nail style that I wanted. When I showed him this picture he said they couldn’t do it. So I left within 5 mins of being there. Go spend your money elsewhere :)
I just recently started coming here about a month ago. I love the customer service and cleanliness of this place. Its so peaceful and they take very good care of you. The complimentary wine is a plus. They take their time when servicing you and make sure that it is close to perfect. Jessica is awesome at pedicures and Whit is great with nails. This may be my forever place.
Always great service and very professional
The service was nice however two nails broke by the the 4th day.Lee did awesome on my pedicure.
Visited for my first time today..wish i had tried this place sooner! I always search for nice nail salons only to find out they look nice but the quality isnt there...this salon is not only very nice, clean and professional but they do quality work. Whit is the girls name that did my nails today..she pays attention to detail. Perfect shape. Amazing job on polish. I will defiantly be back. Highly recommend.
A little more expensive...but worth it. Very clean, professional, and welcoming environment. They give complimentary glasses of wine and have snacks out at no charge. This was my first visit and we will definitely be returning! 😊🍾😊
Ben and the crew here are amazing. My wife comes here to get her nails done all the time and never had a bad experience.
Very good experience, clean environment with very attentive and friendly staff. The service was incredible will definitely come back again.
Clean, profession, upbeat and always spend the time to make my nails perfect! I get so many compliments on the umbre... great place!
I noticed it was mostly Male technicians the day that I went. The tech I had did a great foot massage. Nails looked pretty good too :)
I liked my experience for the most part while I was there. They were friendly, accommodating, and a good price especially if you use cash. Then my nail polish chipped that night. I went back, a different gal put another coat on. However, that nail chipped yet again. Then within a few days I had 5 nails with chips. I normally never have this problem with gel. It was disappointing. Im 10 days in and I just need to remove everything already.
I went in for SNS for the first time. My cuticles were torn from the nail surface sculpting tool. I was bleeding when I walked out. The wrong color was allied to my nails, but I didnt realize it till it was too late. My technician was nice, but could have been gentler with my cuticles.
