She not only treats her client's wonderfully but she also makes sure EVERY client is happy and checks on everyone regularly without making her customer feel any less special.

She not only accommodated me but let me know before we started that services slightly higher price. I for one greatly appreciate her transparency with cost. Again, I highly recommend this wonderful salon.

I have watched their growth throughout the years and love how they cater to their customers. From the moment you walk through the door they have a warm greeting and they often know every customer's name. They greet you with a smile and are so welcoming. Oftentimes as you are receiving your services you can find talks and laughter. Vi Nails offers manicures and pedicures as well as waxing . All services by every nail tech are very well done. They take special care and take their time making sure you feel good and look good! A family owned business that is outstanding in service and welcoming atmosphere.

My daughter went there for the first time based on the decent reviews only to spend over $100 on the WORST set of nails I have seen. Absolutely horrible. And she's not confrontational because she's a kid, so she paid them and left. The fact that THIS is the quality of work they are basing their reputation on is disgusting. I texted with the nail salon who said she could come back and they would fix them. They wouldn't tell me who the owner is and they wouldn't say whether THEY thought that was a good job. Only that my kid paid and tipped. What person is going to want to go back after this?! She shouldn't have to take time on her day off, which isn't for another entire week, to go back to the place that did this. They should refund her. I'm tired of people taking advantage. If this technician did this and was proud of their work, they need to go back to school! Shame on the owner for letting someone who doesn't seem to even care work there.

They were full when I got there but very nice and said there would be a 20min wait. They moved very quickly and I was seated before the 20min for my pedicure. The atmosphere there is very relaxing and the techs are very polite and helpful. My pedicure was quite relaxing and my toes look great. I then went to nail station and the tech was very nice and knew how to achieve the look I wanted for my nails. They work fast and really take care of you. The thing that distinguishes this salon from anywhere else is that they give you the most relaxing neck massage after your service. Love this place!

I've been coming to this nail salon for about three years now, and overall, I truly love it. Like…read moremost salons, your experience can depend on which technician you get. Some are good, some are just okay, and some are absolutely over-the-top amazing. When you land one of the great ones, the experience is chef's kiss. One thing that is consistently excellent is the cleanliness of the salon. It is always spotless. There is a very kind gentleman who goes around with a homemade cleaning cart and resets each station almost immediately after a client gets up. He sanitizes everything thoroughly, which really gives peace of mind. Services come with a complimentary beverage, which is a nice touch. Options include water, soda, wine, and beer. The gentlemen who work at the front desk are also extremely friendly, flexible, and always in good spirits. They're easy to talk to and willing to work with you if you have questions or need accommodations. Pedicures are one of my favorite services here. I usually get the Volcano pedicure, which includes a warm, scented neck wrap such a relaxing detail. The massage chairs are great, and I appreciate that they use a timer for the massages, so you're never shorted on time. I do usually ask them to turn the water a bit warmer during pedicures; I think they keep it cooler by default to avoid burning, which I understand and appreciate. Manicures are also very well done. I like that most technicians have their own individual stations, which helps keep things organized and personal. Many technicians also have Venmo or Cash App QR codes at their stations for tipping. If not, you'll need to tip in cash so keep that in mind. There is a card fee if you pay with a card, but there is an ATM located to the left of the front desk if you'd rather pull out cash and save a little. They offer a wide range of colors, styles, and techniques, so whether you're going for something simple or something more detailed, there are plenty of options to choose from. Overall, this salon has become my go-to, and I plan to keep coming back. Technicians Bim - Absolutely wonderful and hands-down the best at nail designs that I've seen. If you're looking for detailed, creative work, Bim is a must-book. Megan (Eyebrows) - I go to Megan for my eyebrows every time. She is fantastic. She originally worked at another salon in Mechanicsville, and I was thrilled when she started working here. She's been doing my eyebrows since 2018, and I wouldn't trust anyone else.

When I entered, I was very confused because nobody greeted me or said hello to me or asked me what service I wanted. I was almost walking out when another customer actually told me that I needed to check in on the computer, even if I did not have an appointment. For that, i only needed to enter my phone number and first name, then a menu of services populated, i didn'thave my glasses so the screen was a bit hard to read. After a few minutes, I was called and connected with one of their nail technicians. The young lady was very nice , very sweet , very quiet. There is not much to a regular manicure , so I will just state a few of my observations. This is an extremely busy nail salon on a Sunday morning. I was offered a beverage which I declined , but it looked as though many people were enjoying a variety of beverages, from canned diet pepsi to mimosas. It also appears as though they have some pretty fancy pedicure options.I saw some trays with flowers and a variety of other potions going by me on the way to the pedicure stations. It did not feel like a very relaxing environment, however. So if you are looking for that true "spa-like" environment, this might not be the place for you. Customers were talking on their cellphones and there was music playing and televisions on. Overall, the service was done quickly and efficiently and satisfactorily, so it suits the need. I just felt like it was a very impersonal experience, especially when arriving as a first-time customer. Payment: they take cards but offer a 5% discount when paying cash. I did not feel comfortable taking photos inside because it was very busy and I did not want to offend any other customers by taking pictures.

I occasionally enjoy a good pedicure, as I do a master barber straight edge head shave, even though I'm bald, and usually shave myself. Mostly because I'm obsessive about keeping my foot-claws trimmed and clean. (Part of me hopes the rest of humanity felt the same way, but I digress). When I cut my own, I cut them short enough to feel pain for days, and have been known to mistake a sharp nail edge for just that, and ripped out a hangnail or entire pinky toe nail right off. The bleeding takes forever to stop. Again, ain't nobody got time for that. This spotless clean business, (including impeccable restrooms), does things right. Their products and general mission/vision comes through in the outstanding service you receive. Hannah has done an outstanding job on my man-hooves twice now. I will return and more often. If nothing else, I'll save on gauze pads.

You can't sign up with one person so you get whoever is on rotation which is mostly fine but every once in a while, I don't get as good a foot massage or attention to detail.
