To begin, When I arrived to my appointment, the staff had no structure. They moved me from seat to seat and they kept switching personnel to assist me. The nail tech that worked on reshaping my nails was lazy and reshaped them by drill. The entire experience was a complete chaos. I will seek out a different nails salon in the area to fix this mess. The salon within itself is actually nice, personnel is simply unorganized. Except for the front desk host, she is great. Sadly, I cant say the same for everyone else. read more

I took my 15 year old daughter for a polish change on her hands and feet. She wanted to be seated at the Elsa chair. Which was empty. There were several workers and one of the owners Mina who came up to the chair and pointed out she shouldn't be in the chair. My daughter is special needs and I know she might look "too old" but she wanted to be seated in the Elsa chair. The owner Mina asked me how old she was and I told her 15 and if there was a problem with her being in that seat. I didn't feel comfortable that several workers came and pointed at her and she should move to another chair. At one point there were 3-4 people by her chair. We left immediately. No matter the age no one should be made to feel uncomfortable. read more

I needed a quick manicure & pedicure while out in Plainfield for the day & decided to stop at Brava. I'm really glad I did! I didn't have an appointment, but they still saw me quickly.

Even though we had an appointment for the four of us for mani-pedis, our nails weren't even started until 45 minutes after the appointment time. We weren't all able to sit together and everything was very rushed. Two days later, all of us had issues with the nail polish chipping. I don't know if they dilute their polish or not, but we will definitely not be going back. read more

I've been coming here for over six months now and have generally been happy with my experiences however I went today for a full set + dip and it was less than satisfactory. I had made an appointment about a week ago cause I figured Sunday would be a busy day and I wanted to make sure I got in on time. I got there and was not placed with the nail artist I had requested which wasn't a big deal I understood sometimes schedule changes happen and things get missed. I was placed with one of the male nail artists, not sure what his name was cause he never introduced himself like the others do, and I was not at all happy with the experience. It was very evident he was in a rush, he was very rough with removing my previous polish and filing my nails to the point it was actually uncomfortable + he kept looking at the clock and the door as if he was waiting for his next appointment. Once again, I understand weekends are busy at salons but it's unprofessional to make a customer feel as if you're squeezing them in and huffing and puffing while doing their nails, especially when the service being provided is nothing out of the ordinary it was a simple full set with dip no designs or atypical requests for shape etc and especially when there was an appointment scheduled far in advance. Generally at the end of their manicures they use lotion and give you a mini hand massage - he was out of lotion and after trying vigorously to get some out of the bottle he used quite literally half and drop for what was a poor excuse for a massage, rather than just reaching over and grabbing a new bottle. On top of all that - the rates aren't amazing it's on the pricier side and I've never minded in the past because both the experience and overall results were worth it but I couldn't say the same this time around. 2 stars because the results were good but nothing more because of how poor the experience was, will not be coming back. read more

Was at the salon on 26March for a mani pedi. Didn't want the no chip this time. Had the pedicure it was fine. The manicure was so so. Was leaving on Sunday for a short get away and by Monday the nail polish was peeling off. My hands looked terrible and not worth the 51.00 I paid for the. The only reason I went granddaughter had a gift card and her nails also peeked. Will not get them done here again. read more

Pedicure was just ok. I had an appointment and was taken on time. But my feet did not get to soak at all. The tech went right to work, which I thought was odd. I feel like I've always soaked for a good ten or so minutes and really enjoy that part. There was no massage either, just some sort of exfoliating scrub rubbed on my legs. Polish looks nice, but I feel l could have just done my own nails at home for the service I received here. The entire pedicure was over in about 15 minutes, maybe even less. The price is right I suppose, but not good enough to draw me back. The salon did seem clean. read more

Ben did my nails for several years, up until I moved out-of-state in 2016. I was happy to hear that Ben and his wife, Mina, have opened a new salon in such a convenient location. Brava has been open for three months and it's absolutely gorgeous. That said, the space is very functional. Despite coming in on a busy Sunday, the salon did not feel crowded and it wasn't loud. The chairs are comfortable and I was even able to charge my phone while my nails were being done. I was also very pleased by their vast array of gel polish options. Most gel polishes are paired with a non-gel version, which I think is great if you're wanting to get the same color for a pedicure. I'm also very pleased with my nails. Ben is a complete perfectionist and paid great attention to the shape and detail of my nails. I live in Nevada, so unfortunately, I won't be able to return regularly. However, I will recommend all of my local friends get their nails done here! read more

This place is awesome, but some of their staff is extremely rude/impatient. Specifically Linh. She had a terrible attitude and seemed annoyed when I asked for custom work. She would ask me what I was talking about and then switched to another language and proceeded to laugh and talk to everyone else (staff) in the salon. Customers know when you're talking s***, why else would you need to say it in another language? I was very uncomfortable the whole time as she would sigh and talk over me as well. That all being said, the rest of the staff was nice & I thoroughly enjoy the salon & I would still choose them over any other places in the area. I would just recommend avoiding Linh. read more

lady in the front is very rude ... had someone do a horrible job on my feet and i wasn't satisfied so she said fine i will remove and u don't pay ... then comes back with a 33$ bill i'm like i don't like my feet .. they are very sloppy and not neat! she runs back up front and leaves me in the back for 15 mins with nail removal on my toes so i grab my son and leave ... they stopped me at the front and said they called the police ... i was in shock because y ? because i wasn't satisfied with the work .. i have pics ... police came and they said they were charging me for the pedi and not the polish are u stupid or dumb? i didn't like anything he did the pedi was horrible and the polish made it worse.. see for yourself pics below .. i got so fed up with going back and forth that i gave the cop my card so i could leave and guess what they didn't want it ... really so u called the cops for nothing.. i highly do not recommend this place!!! they are rude and don't do a good job .. if i can give them zero stars i would read more

I went to get my nails done here, and they were great! I got done a full set gel powder with a gorgeous maroon cat-eye colour. At first I was a little skeptical, because in the past, I've gone to supposedly "great" nail salons, and didn't like the outcome. However, my nails look very clean. I'm going to also upload the photo of my nails. The shape of the gel is filed perfectly. The square shape that I requested is not too bulky. Also, my nails are painted perfectly, no sloppy nail polish on my fingers. My nails came out super shiny- just the way I wanted them. Another thing- my cuticles were overgrown, and the nail technician I was with filed them, and made them look super clean. He also clipped and filed my nails before applying anything. Afterwards, he applied nail oil onto my cuticles. My nails costed $60, because cat-eye is $5 more. I love the way they look. read more

I am a person who is VERY picky about how my nails are done and Ben met every expectation!!! This was my first time trying Brava Nails and I was not disappointed. The place was clean, nicely decorated and spa like. All of that is a nice but I am a person who only really cares about cleaniness and WORKMANSHIP which was met on every level. I got dip nails and I love them. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I have not experienced a pedicure there yet. Ben rocks!!! I will go back for a fill and pedicure! read more

Second visit here. The first visit was fine. Today, the nail drying racks were dusty inside. No footies were given, so we were expected to have our feet on the dirty floor. The tech that did my daughter did terrible. Glitter is just caked on most of her nails. I had an appointment and still waited 15 min for another person to start the other person in our party, which means now we are waiting even longer in the end.... Just not worth the money. Inwould find another salon. read more

I was excited since this was my first time getting my nails done after quarantine and first time at this place. I asked for a gel manicure and pedicure. The place was pretty clean and very pretty on the inside! They took me right away, no wait. I sat down and wasn't offered a selection of different pedicures (figured maybe they're just doing standard b/c of corona) Nor did i see a list on the wall. The pedicure was okay. I felt the manicure was rushed and the paint job was messy. I can still see my nail beds thru the polish, and paint was left on my cuticles and fingers. Not very happy with the results. 3/5 stars because the front desk lady was very nice and saw the place being cleaned after each guest sat/touched something. read more

I was waiting for my car and walked in customer service was great nails look very nice.

I've been coming here for almost a year and I always leave satisfied!! Tony is amazing and so is Tu!! I only come for no chip pedicures but they take time to give my feet the best attention to detail and they give the best foot rubs. Me and my girlfriends come and always get pampered by the Brava Nails crew, they're the best in Plainfield/Joliet/Naperville that I have tried and I'm very picky. Coming all the way from Chicago I was afraid they wouldn't meet my standards but they have exceeded all my expectations!! read more

I did like this place & did have a fabulous first and second time experience. I did see ladies the first two times. However the third time, I made an appt for a Saturday afternoon & felt rushed with my nails. The color was badly stuck to my skin and the man gave me attitude when I called him out on it. He preceded to cut my skin when filing the side of my nail. If you come here I would request to see Nina. Do not go to the man with tattoos on his arms, he's the one that cut me, did a sloppy job, & gave me attitude. The man without tattoos on his arms did a great & delicate job with my mom's nails. read more

I'm a stylist and work with clients no matter what I make sure they feel treated good, I enjoying getting my pedi, hair, nails etc done is so relax for me and when I have this bad experience with employees that don't wanna be working and don't give a penny for the place I feel so frustrated.

I decided to try this nail salon in hopes of finding a place that did my nails just how I wanted them and I was absolutely not disappointed. I got a full set of pink and white french tip coffin shaped nails and they turned out PERFECT. I was a walk in client and honestly expected a rushed service but that did not happen. Zoey did my nails and she asked me a lot questions to make sure I would get the nails exactly how I wanted them. She paid a lot of attention to small details and took her time which I loved because I hate feeling rushed while I'm getting my nails done. Besides the great service, this nail salon is so gorgeous and really clean! I will definitely be back and will be recommending this salon to all of my friends. read more

After working 8am-5pm on Saturday I decided to treat myself to a manicure. My boyfriend and I have lived in the area now for about a year and I've been on the hunt for a regular nail salon. I decided to give Brava Nails & Spa a try as I've read great reviews and it's extremely close to home. So I walked in around 5:15pm on Saturday. I knew I'd only ask for a manicure since they closed at 6pm and I didn't want to be rude, plus it's fall, who really needs a pedicure?? Anyways, I walk in and the lady at the front counter did not look happy. She proceeds to say hi and asks what I'm there for, I said I wanted a no chip manicure and she asks me to sign in on the iPad. I do and then I'm standing there, unsure of what to do next. I asked if I should sit down and she says I can pick a color. I head over to look at the no chip options. As I'm looking a nail tech comes up and asks what I'm there for, I told her a no chip manicure and she asks to look at my nails. I show them to her and she then asks if I've ever tried dip powder before, I time her no and she asks if I'd like to, I then ask what the difference is - she explains that the dip powder last longer than no chip, doesn't require a light to dry and is a "little" thicker than no chip. I ask how much more it is and she says $5. I start to look at the dip powder colors and decide I'll stick with regular no chip. -Side Note: I read from a reputable nail salon that dip powder is not often used as it's supposed to be and that most salons reuse the powder after other clients have stuck their fingers in it, when they should be throwing the used powder out, so I decided against trying dip powder this time, just a personal choice- I pick out my color and the nail tech shows me where to sit. I don't recall her ever mentioning her name but I believe it was Linh as that was the name on all the tools she used. As I am sitting down I hear her say something. I wasn't sure what it was so I said, "I'm sorry?" She then proceeds to ask: "are you having a baby". To which I replied, "no". That's where the conversation ended. No apology, nothing. I am a "thicker" woman and I carry some in my mid section, but to be asked if I'm pregnant was beyond embarrassing. I go to adjust my sweater to cover up and proceed with my manicure. The manicure was okay. I wouldn't say it was anything special. She took off my old no chip, did her thing with buffing and filing and trimming my cuticles, as to be expected. She was kind of rough however, cutting me on multiple fingers with the cuticle trimmed as well as while rubbing too hard on my skin around the nail with the buffering block. She did a nice job with the color and put it on evenly and thoroughly, paying attention to detail. However, one of my nails is uneven from being filed incorrectly and on one of my fingers she hadn't gotten my old polish off all the way, which was much darker than the new color I'd chosen. I thought she'd eventually get to it, but as she was starting to put the prep polish/bonding agent on my nails I had to point out the missed spot to her, at which point she removed it, but had I not said anything it appeared as if she would've continued on as it was. Not much conversation happened, she did point out my dry skin at which point I told her I worked at the hospital and use hand sanitizer a lot. She asked if I was a nurse and I told her no, I was a registration representative. Beyond that and the pregnancy/fat incident there was no talking. She talked more with her coworkers than she did with me. She finished up, gave me an underwhelming hand massage and sent me on my way. Normally the wipe your nails down with alcohol or acetone to remove the lotion, but she never did that. When she was done I handed her, her cash tip, thanked her and made my way up to the front to pay (this was an assumption on my part as no one directed me on where to go). Luckily I was in the right place, I paid and left. I then texted my boyfriend that, it wasn't my favorite nail experience and that I probably wouldn't be hurrying back. I understand curiosity and all that but if you have to wonder if a woman is pregnant or you aren't sure, please don't ask, because if and when they say no, it's extremely embarrassing and to not even receive an apology on top of that was extremely disheartening. No, I'm not the most in shape person, but I don't need it to be pointed out to me. I do think the comment clouded my judgment, but how could it not?? The service was fair, I paid and tipped and thanked her. Two stars for a nice looking manicure, but I took stars off for the rude question, lack of conversation, cuts and underwhelming hand massage. The spa is beautifully decorated, although I didn't see the pedicure area and they accepted a number of patrons after I came in, so that was nice to see. However, due to my poor experience and feeling beyond embarrassed, I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

My mom and I decided to try this salon bc it was a lot closer to our house than our normal salon. My first impression of the salon was that it didn't seem too clean and kind of run down. It was very dark at the manicure chairs and it was very hard to see how bad my nails looked till after we left. My nails are very bumpy and shaped very odd. I have very small narrow nails and some how the manicurist made my nails look very wide. He filed my nails till they hurt and he left wet dip powder all over my fingers, which was very difficult to scrape off. My mom also got a manicure but she got gel. She had the same problems as I did. Nails misshapen and poorly painted nails. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because the staff was very friendly. Overall, I would not recommend going here unless you like a sloppy looking manicure. read more

Brava Nails Spa - worst dip manicure I've ever had - Nail Salons Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

I've been going to this nail spa the past few months and haven't had a terrible experience yet, but have always had a different nail tech. This past time I went and had Heather. These are some of the poorest quality nails I have ever received. I got acrylic with no chip polish on top. I paid around $65 for the service (not including tip). From afar, the nails look okay but are uneven and bumpy. I've had these nails for not even three days. On one nail, the gel polish is already lifting making an air bubble in the middle of the nail which you can feel and hear when it's rubbed. I also feel that the nail tech put the tips on way too close to the tip of my nails, making them curve unnaturally downwards. On top of that, there was little prep work done to my nails. They were only filed and buffed but cuticles and hangnails were not touched. This salon can be great depending on who you have, but I can't say I'll be returning especially after this service. I wish that I would have inspected them more before I had left the salon as I would have said something. Unfortunately I didn't, and ended up paying an absurd price for such poor quality. I have went to several nail chop shops and have received better for less than half the price. I gave a rating of two stars as I have had a nail tech here do a great job in the past, but just depends on who you get as I have said. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed. read more
