I have been there a few times. I am from out of town but when I come to Miami this is where I go do my nails. Very professional on target and the nails look amazing!! read more

I got to envidia Spa 20 minutes late and I was taken in Without a problem. I like the end result of the manicure; I think they do a really good job at cleaning the nails and removing dead skin. The girl who helped me probably could have been more friendly while showing me the nail polish colors. I wanted to put a nude color on my nails but I don't think they had the color. I suggest getting more colors for their wall of nail polishes. read more

Envidia Spa - After 4 days from the manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I had called to make an appointment and she ensured me that if I didn't like my nails, I would get a refund. To start off, I was happy with the friendliness, but it was all a front. At the end of the day, I'm here to get my nails done properly and without harm, I am paying for a good service. I thought the owner was very welcoming and when I went there, Yulia was doing my nails for me and she was super sweet. She taught me a little Spanish and I taught her a little English. I liked the nails, But her work was a little harsh. My middle finger bled a little but it was a small poke that is currently inflamed, but it happens. Then my pedicure, she was harsher on my toes and I ended up bleeding on 3 of them. 2 of them, the bleeding eventually stopped but my big toe, kept bleeding the entire time. It was gushing. Even she got concerned. I didn't think much of it and kind of endured the pain but when I walked to my car, the blood started gushing and my toe was hurting a lot. Throughout the entire day, my toe was bleeding uncontrollably. Every-time I would wipe it, it would bleed more. I went to sleep and woke up with dried blood on it too! I called the owner the next day and calmly, I told her of the situation and she told me to see a doctor or get antibiotics, but the idea was that they had caused this and she would not simply take responsibility. I then spoke to her a little more and she went on to tell me that I have sensitive skin, which I do, but that doesn't explain a bleeding finger and 3 bleeding toes. If you notice that I bled from one or even two, that should be a sign to go softer and not cut the cuticles so deep. I then sent her a photo of my toe because it was too much blood (attached on here) and she then proceeded to tell me that I may have a problem with blood. I found that very unprofessional. In every way, she was trying to blame me for the blood and not take responsibility. I told her I didn't have a problem with blood because if I had, all 4 of the cuts wouldn't stop bleeding. But it was in fact 1 that was cut way too deep that the blood continued for over 24 hours, that is insane. I simply called to tell her of the situation and for her to go easy and not do this to other people because my toe was cut too deep. I had paid $80 (without tip) and initially, I wasn't calling for a refund but the way she approached the situation and how she did not take responsibility and offer condolences, was completely unprofessional. I eventually did ask for a refund and she agreed to give me it, but she was getting a little angry. She told me to go to the salon at 7:30. She didn't say why 7:30 but it was obvious that that was after they close and that she didn't want the situation to be discussed in front of other customers and honestly, I'm not sure if she was going to give me the refund had I actually gone at that time. I went before that and when I did, she told me to see a doctor and that there's something wrong with my blood.. again. Instead of apologizing and asking what she can do to help. I explained to her again that it was not my health, obviously. Throughout the entire process, I did not give attitude or show any sort of disrespect despite the unprofessionalism. After that she went to the cashier to give me the refund for the pedicure and she handed me $29 out of the $39. I told her it was $39 and she started explaining how it's actually $39 for manicure and $29 for pedicure, which was not true because when I paid, I made sure to know the breakdown of the payment I was making. She kept trying to work around the conversation and she hit a dead end and gave me $39. She was supposed to refund me $44 because I paid $44 for pedicure with design, but I let that go. So all in all, she tried hard to not refund me and when she did, she tried to cheat out of some of it. She was trying to convince me that it was my health and my body that was the issue and that the 4 cuts, 1 of which is still hurting, was not a result of the work done by them. Very unprofessional. I almost liked them until the blood didn't stop for 24 hours and the situation was handled so unprofessionally. read more

I have been coming to Envida for a few years now and have to say it's the best nail salon I have found to date. Always on time, great service, one of the few places that does hard gel (luminary system) in Kendall area. The owner and the staff are all attentive and ensure that they are providing exceptional services. Totally recommend! read more

I only wish I could give this spa 10 stars instead of 5. In my previous experiences at other spas I have yet to find one that is remotely as professional and good as Envidia spa. I have been going to this spa for 5 years now and for everyone that takes their time to complaint about the "waiting list" for appts I hope you realize some clients like myself book their appt for an entire year out. There is no spa like this one, truly the best. In fact I take honor and pride in saying "my technician is the best in all of Miami. read more

To answer the owner's remark on maybe, If you so need I can have my CPA or Money manager send you my W-2s if so needed, but totally why would I? Really petty, but hey I speak facts! And if by enjoyable and happy environment, you mean criticizing every customer you have that leaves your "spa" they we definitely have different definitions of happy environments! This is a typical clicky Miami low budget salon. I am sorry I even went there. read more

I've been doing my nails with Carmela for years. Customer service is at the heart of everything she does. She takes her time and my nails always look spectacular! I'm grateful that she runs her business keeping it very personnel ensuring each and every customer is happy! This week I had a family emergency had had to cancel my appointment. Even though it was the week before Christmas she still made time for me to reschedule! If you are looking for a nail salon that keeps the customer at the center of everything they do, this is the place for you!! read more

I've been going to Envidia Spa for 7 years. My manicure and pedicure is always perfect!!! They are thorough and very clean. I love how they remove my cuticles and make sure my nails are perfectly square. One of the cleanest spas I've visited and the staff is very friendly!! read more

I've been going to Envidia on Sunset for about 5 years now. I hate driving, moved 30 minutes away and still go to my appointment every 2 weeks. The quality of the work is just hard to find elsewhere. Being a nurse, I constantly wash my hands. My gel polish used to peel until Carmela took the time to find the right base and perfect application for me. As you can see from the pictures, it is no longer a problem. I read through some reviews and found a few people complaining about pain during the cuticle removing process. Mine personally stick and it can be a bit uncomfortable sometimes (if it's that time of the mouth and I'm feeling sensitive really), but once I see my nails, I would do it again and again. No other place will leave them as clean and cuticle-free. To those who wrote that they were cut then got infections from here, I'm not sure what they were doing with their fingers but I work in a hospital getting only God knows what kind of bacteria on my hands and I have NEVER gotten an infected finger, even when going straight from here to work. Do you get a cut once in a blue moon? That can happen at any salon you go to if they are cutting away cuticles. My only wish is that they were closer to me! read more

Amazing mani/pedi! My heels finally feel like they've had a pedicure. And no shaving! Carmen has the latest in products for hands and feet and the attention to detail was spectacular. The ambiance is fun, the chairs relaxing and service A1. Coming back! read more

DON'T COME HERE!!!!! Carmela (the owner) is the rudest most unprofessional person I have ever met! My manicure was SO painful and my fingers were dripping blood. Carmela did nothing to try and make the situation right for me. Instead she blamed me by saying my nails are to small and sensitive then laughed because I had tears in my eyes. WOW!!!!! I can see in the reviews Carmela treats many people like this and shows off her nasty attitude with her cocky responses. It's easy to be a nice person/business owner and have a good reputation but she just enjoys being evil. Take your business somewhere else so you're not blood swaping and dealing with a witch. Ew. read more

I normally don't get my nails done regularly because my nails chip and I lose my polish within a week of getting my nails done. Since I've been coming to Envidia Spa my nails have been lasting 2 weeks and more. My manicurist recommended to switch polish brand, base and top coat. I'm extremely happy with the results. Thanks for providing great and professional service read more

Envidia Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Best deep cuticle cleaning nail salon in Miami. The first time I went it hurt a little bit because I have never cleaned my cuticles, but the second time they didn't hurt at all and my nails looked amazing. I've been going for a couple of months now and my nail plate is bigger than it used to be which is amazing. Below are some pictures in order and you can see my nail plate slowly starts getting better. read more

I do gel on my hands and the gel lasts 3 weeks. They always take their time and do an amazing job.

Carmela Thank you your feedback but unfortunately it is not accurate. I texted you and called the salon to say I was running 10-12 minutes late and I was told that it wouldn't be a problem. Her attitude from beginning to end was not acceptable. It was not a full set it was a refill for acrylic which was the worst I have ever done. My nails were destroyed in 3 days, you can see attached photo. When I sat down for the pedicure she said I need to do it fast because I don't have a lot of time and cut me 3 times. I am sorry that you employ people that clearly do not have a clue about customer service as it is a poor reflection of your business. Best of luck to you read more

Envidia Spa - Nails after 3 days - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I enjoy the place is beautiful and the staff is warm and welcoming. Good experience overall

One more update.... It's been 2 years since I've visited Envidia! I moved out of Kendall so it has been difficult to get back here. I called last minute and they had a cancellation so I was able to get my nails blessed by these amazing nail techs. I got my nails done with Jolie who was super sweet and helpful in finding the perfect red polish for me. My nails are short but she shaped them nicely and of course got all my cuticle out. The paint job was impeccable and I wasn't expecting anything less. It's great to see them expanding, it was my first time in their new location and they've added more techs in the process. The salon is clean and professional and still a quiet and tranquil place. My nails came out amazing as I had hoped they would and I'll be calling soon to make my appointment again :) read more

Envidia Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I have to reply to Carmela's response to my review. Basically you are saying exactly what I did and that's you upcharged my daughter by asking about a gel overlay. Which I had to google myself because I had never heard of despite having frequent manicures myself including gel, and having had acrylics in the past. So you use an unfamiliar term and fail to disclose that there was a difference in price...this is a dishonest business practice. But you did it. I'm done. read more

My wife told the owner, Carmela, that she could not make today's appointment because I was diagnosed with covid last night. She and the kids went to tropical park to get tested first thing this morning. She laughed at her and said sarcastically, "Sure he did. Now I have a girl sitting here without work." That lack of professionalism and empathy has led me to leave my first ever negative review of any business on Yelp. read more

I have never written a yelp review until today. I have never had such a horrible gel manicure in my entire life. Tania did this manicure and within one hour of having my nails done the gel polish came off since she painted over my skin. Not to mention that it felt like I had cement on my nails of how thick the gel was and two fingers had a dent. I had to rip the gel polish off of how bad it came out. I can't believe that a place that takes so much pride for their attention to detail and perfection allowed a manicure like this to be acceptable. Not to mention they refuse to refund my money but instead make me go back when there are NO appointments until after Christmas and that made such a horrible manicure. Bad management. Reply to the reply: Hi Carmela. I think the only reason you are upset is because I wrote a bad review on yelp. I solved the issue and paid for another gel manicure at a salon where the owner stayed open after hours to fix my problem. Something that was not offered by you at your salon. It is too late for your resolution and I will not accept any other service from your salon. read more

I love this nail salon! I had been looking for a place for a long time. I was never happy with how my nails would come out, and the polish never seemed to last more than a week. My sister-in-law recommended this place, and I am very happy! I've been coming for a few months and my nails are longer and stronger. The gel polish always lasts 2+ weeks and they do a great mani and pedi! The owner, Carmela, is amazing! She is nice, professional and cares about her clients. You can tell she truly loves what she does. The salon is clean and the nail technicians are professional and nice. They have a lot of nail polish and gel color options and even do dip powder. They get busy, so call ahead and make an appointment. I HIGHLY recommend. read more

Great experience! The most clean and detailed pedicure I have had in a while. Definitely coming back

If you've read my previous reviews for nail salons, you know I take my mani/pedis very seriously. After visiting another salon that did quite the number on my nails, I needed a change. I wanted to find the BEST, so I sought out help from Yelp! By far the most thorough and meticulous mani/pedi that I have had. Two weeks later, my gel polish is INTACT. never have I had gel last me that long, so I had given up hope. Be sure to book in advance, as they do fill up quickly. read more

Yep. 5 stars, because it's that amazing. Take my word for it. I had my first appointment yesterday after calling at 12 during lunch and was able to get a 3:30 pm spot for gel mani and regular pedicure. Let me say, I have NEVER had my hands done as meticulously as I did with Jenny. She took out EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. of my cuticle. I'm not going to lie, it did hurt a bit, but it was SO worth it. Thank god I found this place. UPDATE: 3rd appointment and I could not be more happy. Jenny truly is the best and so patient and meticulous with my nails. I've NEVER had gel last me 14 (and more) days, yet they have with her doing my nails. My nails are so perfect my coworkers thought they were fake.... Enough said. I love this place! read more

Envidia Spa - White on white French. I asked for thin tips and they're exactly how I wanted them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Such lovely service. The girls really took their time on my toes and acrylic nails. Perfection!

I really, really wanted to love this nail salon. Truly, I did. But, as I type this, I am literally cringing with the memory of my mani experience. I booked an appointment with my friend, Marlene, to try this location out as I saw it has raaaave reviews and is (as you can see) rated 4.5 stars. We scheduled ourselves for just a manicure so that we could see what all the hype was about. When we got in, we weren't greeted by anyone. We just sort of wandered the front area and checked out the seating area/polishes while we waited for someone to say hello. Someone eventually said - "Select your color." So we picked out what we wanted/showed what we wanted, and were seated with our nail techs. I had Jenny/Yeny. I thought she would be fab because everyone else on Yelp says she is, and I'll admit that she did a great job on the actual mani as you'll be able to see via my pictures. But, she was super cold (which is fine; after all, I'm there for a manicure, not a gossip sesh), but it would have been nice if she was just a tad bit warmer/smiley. Again, not a huge drawback. What did appall me was how rough she was with my cuticles. I mean, she had some blunt square-tipped instrument and was shoving back on my cuticles to the point of pain. Even when I repeatedly went, "Ow - ow!" she didn't back off. Then she turned that square tip on its corner and scrapes - I mean, SCRAPES - out whatever cuticle meat is hanging onto your skin and rips it out. Then she proceeds to cut away whatever excess cuticle is left (no pain with this piece). That is what killed me. I was honestly sweating, as I sat in my chair, and dazedly asking myself why I was torturing myself to this degree for cute nails. Seriously. I had not experienced the likes of this torture by cuticle removal - ever. In addition, she cut me through this process in a few places. At one point, I thought: "Is that blood? Wait, Liane, don't be paranoid - maybe it's a shadow? No... too red. OMG that's blood!!" Not once did she apologize for any of this or gentle her ministrations. She had some backup bottle of bright blue liquid that she then dabbed over the blood (which A - does not seem sanitary by ANY means, and B - she had dropped on the floor, so goodness knows what other grime was on the tip of that opened bottle). I have to say - she did work meticulously and cleaned up my cuticles well (so if you can handle pain well, maybe this place is for you). BUT, my friend's nail tech also cut her up and she had plenty of bloody cuticles that were quickly "attended" to with that bottle of blue. Then, when we went to leave, the owner came out and essentially scolded us for "missing" our last appt. (She even went looking for the confirmation texts she had sent me on 1 iphone, and then a "backup?" iphone she had.) She proceeded to explain that they had "waited" for us. Which is ridiculous because I remember getting to my phone, calling her back, and then being told that our appts were no longer available since I did not text/call her back right away. So... I didn't understand the point of her 5 minute spiel, but I just smiled and nodded as I paid. Basically... we made it to this appt - what's the point of bringing up the prev one? Do you really want to attempt to guilt trip your customers? Anyway, Marlene and I agreed that at most this was a 3-star experience. The reason I dropped this to a 2-star experience is because my right ring finger hurts like a fother mucker. Just typing this review incenses the fingertip because it is both tender and swollen (from where I was cut pretty badly). I'll be posting the pictures so you can see. So yeah... not going back, lol. read more

It took me forever to write this review but here I am doing it...FINALLY!!! So on my birthday I was looking for a place to get my nails done and Envidia Spa had a perfect rating so I went there and they were booked so I ended up at another place that served the purpose but Envidia was on my mind so I went back when it was time to get them done again, and WOW!!! I was impressed from the moment you walk in you are greeted by Carmela, the Italian owner. Jenny was my technician, she is very meticulous, I am definitely happy with her, she's not that talkative, but I don't mind that at all, I rather have her concentrated on my cuticles that need some TLC. I can say that I found my nail salon, finally. Give them a chance. You'll be happy you did. read more

Seriously why has it taken me so long to come here!? Carmela as everyone writes is a nail genius. She's hard to get an appointment with, but that's because she's nothing short of amazing! coming to do your nails with her feels like going to have lunch with one of your girl friends. She is so easy to talk to and really makes sure your nails look perfect. PS- They are having a special for first time clients $40 for gel manicure and regular pedicure! read more

Not a great experience for me. The spa however was clean and the onward very nice. The experience however was a total let down given the excellent rating. Sadly I hate my shellac manicure. PRos: - clean - nice owner - great polish+shellac combos availableZ every color and very well organized for simple picking Cons: - up charged me $5 dollars to remove old shellac but didn't mention it until it was time to pay. -DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REMOVE SHELLAC. I couldn't believe this lady scraping away at my nails -2 hours for a mani/pedi??!!! - my manicure is uneven and bubbled I would not recommend this nail salon and I have several nail salon reviews on my yelp read more

Envidia Spa - Close up of my uneven and bubbled shellac manicure. Wish the picture was better - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've lived in Miami for the past 30+ years and I have never had such an awful experience at a nail salon but more importantly the owner of this salon was arrogant and extremely rude that it left me wondering how this business is still afloat. My nails look like my 4 year old nephew did them instead of an actual professional. I stated multiple times that my manicurist was hurting me even leaving me bleeding and I was blamed for having such short nail beds. The fact that I even had to pay for such a horrible job and treated so crappy as a paying customer has left a horrible taste in my mouth. I will never recommend this nail salon let alone set foot in there. If anything thank you for reminding me that some individuals shouldn't operate and own their own business. read more

I've been to so many nail salons all around Miami and nothing compares to Envidia! They are truly perfectionist! Blanca does my nails and she never disappoints! she pays such attention to detail and makes sure every cuticle is perfect. I'm very picky with my feet because I tend to get ingrown nails and most places don't even pay attention to that. Not Blanca! She gets them out! The owner Carmela is so sweet! She remembers everyone's name and makes you feel at home. It's such a serene and clean atmosphere, I love it! They have an assortment of teas, coffee and lemon infused water for you to sip on. Total zen!! The selection of colors is impressive and they have tons of gel colors as well. Every new color you can think of.

I showed her and she advised me on the best colors to use and helped me bring my idea to life! She was super nice and thoughtful the whole time. I have really sensitive skin and she was so kind to not leave the chemicals on my skin too long. A little ouchy here and there when she was trimming the skin around my nails but beauty knows no pain! haha She's open to doing most designs and she will let you know what she feels comfortable doing beforehand. They got me in the same I called for the appointment as well which was very nice of them! All in all, I really enjoyed having my nails done at this salon and will be returning!
