Below I have included photos I took of the gel acrylic french tip nails I got done here yesterday, as well as a photo (the last image) of what I wanted to get done which I had shown to the nail techs who worked on my nails. The photos here are AFTER I had come back and asked them to fix my nails. I had stated when I came in that I did not care how much it would cost, only that I wanted the final result to look like the photo I had shown them. The nails tech recommended I get a gel manicure as it would last longer and look better in the long run. I had never gotten gel before so I was excited to try it.Unfortunately, I came out of this experience extremely disappointed with the final result.Overall, I really do not want to assume that my one bad manicure is a reflection of the quality of all their work, but I do not recommend coming here for something more elaborate than a basic mani or pedi.I dont know if you can see in the photos, but not only is the acrylic applied unevenly on my actual nail and around my nail bed, the whole look is very chunky and uneven. The tops of some of my nails are uneven as well. When I was getting it done I did not say much as I trusted the nail tech to fix everything up for the final look. When she applied the nude color on my nails, she asked if I wanted one coat or two. The pinky with the two coats looked too saturated so I said one coat would be fine, but when she painted the rest of my nails the nude color came out very uneven and splotchy. In addition, the white tips were not blended like in the photo I had shown them, which would be fine if they had at least been done well. During my service, I had asked my tech to fix one white tip on one of my nails, and thought that at this point it was too late to ask her to go back and redo everything as they were already drying my nails, but as soon as I pad $50 for the manicure, as well as $12 tip, and went outside, my sisters and I immediately saw that not only were the white tips unevenly applied, but they also had patches and did not extend to the sides of all my nails and also, my actual tips and sides were not fully painted, leaving me with an even more uneven look.I am not a confrontational person so I wanted to just leave it at that, but my sisters made me go back right away and at least get my white tips fixed. We were very polite and the techs did not say much. There was only three people working and the tech who did my nails was already busy with another client so someone else painted over my white tips again and painted the white all the way to the side of my nails, which I appreciated.I know that as a paying customer I have to speak up about the work they are doing on me, but at the same time they are supposed to be professionals who should be able to see any deficiencies in their work and the overall look, and should not be micromanaged about every tiny thing (which is not what I did at all anyway).Honestly, I am just upset I paid $60 for a gel manicure that I will have for weeks and that looks very chunky and gross in real life. Not to mention that it did not look like they sanitized or even wiped their tools or workstations between guests, which is just...

They did a beautiful job on my engagement nails! I have always had a good experience here with pedicures, manicures, gel, and dip. Highly recommend calling to make an appointment as they do get busy!

I have been using this salon for a while and was always happy with the quality. However, the last few times I went they struggled with balancing customers. For instance, I had an appointment for a gel manicure scheduled at 4:30 today and arrived on time. They were obviously overbooked and/or accepted too many walk-ins and asked me to return at 5:00. I agreed, returned at 5 and they sat me and began removing my previous gel. Then they left me sitting with my nails wrapped in acetone for 45+ minutes while they worked on other customers. At that point I asked them to just finish removing my gel and left without having them complete the manicure I had made the appointment for. They didnt charge me but it was a very unpleasant experience to leave over 1.5 hours after my originally scheduled appointment and without receiving the service I had reserved. Unfortunately this is not the first time I experienced similar service at this salon but it will be the last. To sum up, those with appointments are not prioritized and it is not uncommon to have the same technician going back and forth between multiple customers and so any service you are receiving takes twice as long as it should. Again, the quality is good but they either need to hire more staff or learn how to respect appointments and their customers time rather than squeeze in as many people as possible without being able to accommodate them.

Amy is excellent! Very detailed in her work and puts in the time and effort to do the best job. She even extended beyond closing hours until she was satisfied with results.

I made an appt for 4:15 and I started at about 4:45. My acrylics are fine from afar and we’re out on nice. But the polish was laid on unevenly and the design was done okay. I would go again maybe but I wouldn’t get design. My girlfriend is Vietnamese and she understood what they were saying to each other, that they didn’t know how to do design. Hers was very simple and she didn’t like how it looked. The workers were very nice.

It was my first time at this salon. I made an appointment, arrived on time and was very promptly helped by Annie who did an amazing job. It has been over two weeks, my nails did not chip and still look pretty decent. My only remark is that we were interupted a few times by incoming calls. That caused some delay and I was in a hurry.. Next time I will give myself more time...

First time visiting this nail salon and it was a great experience. Anna did a great job doing my nails. She was very professional and did a great job. I brought my daughter for her first mani and pedi and they did a great job with her as well. The place was clean and relaxing! I will be back for sure.

I have used their new service massage. I have had two massage there on two different days. The first day was a shoulder, neck and back massage which really was helpful and better then any other place I have gone to. (12/22/2020) I also had a foot massage which I really enjoyed as it helped with my sore knees. (1/12/2021) As a massage place I feel this is the best one I have been to. Please give this place a try for massages.

My experience here today was amazing! The salon itself is very clean and sanitary, the workers are so friendly, and my nails look beautiful. This was my first time here and I will be returning! This is by far my favorite nail salon in the area. I was very impressed with the service and their prices.

I have been to many nail salons in the area and La Vie Nails is so far the best. The cleanliness of the place is impeccable. Definitely observing precautions with regards to COVID 19. Will highly recommend La Vie Nails to family, friends and co-workers.

Loved my acrylic nails but the only thing I didn’t like was that she didn’t have them painted all the way to the cuticles. Besides that it was a good service.
