Just came in the get a fill in. Ig it's partially my fault for not asking exactly what it would cost for the services I wanted done. I was charged $62 for this service and tbh I think that's way too much money. I did ask for a price break down which I was told I was charged extra for the reshape , pink dip powder . Which I wasn't told during the service that this was going to be an extra charge . Nor was I asked do I want powder or something else.
Absolutely obsessed with my spooky Halloween nails! * The mix of spider webs, cute little ghosts, mummy wrap, and that pop of orange is perfection. Each design is so detailed and fun-it totally captures the Halloween vibe without being too over the top. My nail tech killed it with the clean lines and creativity. Can't stop looking at them!
I've been with Michelle for years now ! She does an Amazing job and service is wonderful! My mom goes to her now and she loves her too! The atmosphere in there is very peaceful and quiet you can definitely relax in here! Yall call and book with Michelle you won't be disappointed!
I've been coming to this shop for 4 months, and all the staff are very nice and very skilled. The shop is lovely, and Jessine does a phenomenal job. She is super fun to talk to, and when I came in today asking for Pink & White ombre nails, she made suggestions that turned out amazing. I'm so happy with my nails!!
I was looking for a place in the Ghent Area that did walk-in manicures and pedicures because admittedly I'm someone who neglects nail care and I've been trying to get better about it. I used to bite my fingernails to the cuticle until recently so they're brittle, and as for my toenails ... well In the words of Sheneneh Jenkins from the popular 90s Black sitcom Martin "You got to go to work on Myra's feet!" Considering what they were working with I feel like they did a great job. The staff were friendly, hospitable, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my visit. I'll definitely be back when I need a touch-up on my hands and feet.
The staff is friendly it's quiet and serene inside! It's also very very clean I requested for my natural nails to be painted w gel polish and I received a flawless manicure and a nice hand massage after it. My pedicure was also super relaxing and the massage chair was so soothing!!!!! Just know this place has topped many and I will be a returning guest.
I really wanted to like this place so bad bc it's close to home and my first experience was nice.. but I've been here a total of 4 times now, and I'm sad to say I just cannot justify coming back... Michelle did my nails the first time, don't have a pic but I got a basic refill nothing crazy. Few weeks later, came back for another refill. Someone else this time, don't remember her name, but paid the same amount I would've for a full set. That hurt a little especially bc the nails were different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. But I wasn't super upset bc they weren't too noticeable unless you looking fr. But still, due to expense + quality, we have strike 1. Okay. Next time I came in was 2 separate days for 2 different services, (to accommodate different friends) all in the same week. I had the same gentleman for both services (pedi & soak off + dip). And I'm sorry but even tho he was the same tech it was strike 2 and 3 for me. First I got a pedicure. I had trimmed one foot's toenails due to a breakage and I couldn't just cut one nail, sue me. But I really wanted them to be trimmed and shaped professionally so I just left it to the one foot. During the service the gentleman did not make much of an effort to get my toenails to match. One foot was round and the other was square and clearly longer even tho I asked for them cut. So I did ask him for them to cut them shorter and rounded out like the other foot and he sort of fixed it.. But when it still wasn't what I wanted I figured maybe it was my fault, I should've cut both feet, plus who's gonna look that hard. I let it go. Then I come in again a few days later to get my acrylics soaked off and have my natural nails shaped and painted. I brought a reference photo, which I have attached to this. First, he didn't do my cuticles. That's the main reason I get my nails done in the first place. He even asked me, literally asked me, if "I want my cuticles". Maybe I misunderstood? I said "yes I want my cuticles done. Is it not included?" He didn't answer. I should've known then. I should have just gotten my nails soaked off and left.. but nope. I gave it a chance bc like I said, I really wanted this to be my new spot. So he cut my nails down, and I immediately can tell they are uneven. I will say, I am a PERFECTIONIST when it comes to this part. And I've had doubts in the past with other techs and sometimes they prove me wrong. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Wrong. He even put my fingers next to each other to measure. And some are still longer than the other on either hand. Yk usually sometimes you get one hand that's longer than the other. No, these are mix matched. And my index finger on both hands?? Way too short compared to the rest of the nails.. I did ask him to make certain ones shorter. It didn't make a difference. After I gave up on having them be even, we move onto shaping and he immediately starts rounding one of my nails. as soon as I realized I stopped him and told him I wanted square. Like the photo. And I apologize to him. I'm still a bit upset at myself about this bc I'm not confrontational, so I'm often apologetic for things I SHOULDN'T be! I showed him what I wanted. I verbally said what I wanted. If he forgot or didn't know he could have asked. But anyways. So he shapes them, not too bad, some are crooked, but Ik I can fix that when I get home, I'm not mad. But then it comes to the little heart designs. I regret so much. I really should've spoken up and just put an end to it. It took him 8 try's on the first nail and really I gave up at that point. I was just riding it out. I'm not meaning to be rude, but clearly he struggled with the heart design and if he didn't feel comfortable he should have said he can't do it or had me wait for someone that could or something. They ARE hearts. I DID ask for hearts. BUT. I wanted them to be placed like the photo. No they are not THAT bad but i am uncomfortable. And sad bc i wanted my cuticles done and spent way too much on these. Like. Please this has been the most disappointing my nails have ever looked and I PAID, my hard earned money for that. And there's no one to blame but me huh. Please save your money or make sure you get Michelle..
Overall nail experience was great. I called ahead for a mani/pedi. My nail technician was very skilled and talented. I love to keep my nails very short, but we'll shaped. She did just that and even helped me select the perfect color. I would certainly go again if back in the area. Took off one star because they only want cash tip and these days I generally do not have that without previous notice. Probably can add that information to the site so that consumers come prepared.

Anna was my nail tech and she was amazing. I came in knowing exactly what I wanted and I got exactly that. She checked in with me at every step to make sure I was satisfied with how it was coming along. This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back for maintenance. read more

My boyfriend bought me a Groupon for this place not knowing I've been in the past. At first I was very excited. I made an early appointment, and was very ready to be seen. When I got into the room everything seemed fine, and then when she found out I had a Groupon she got extremely nasty. She told me she didn't take them and she reopened the door. I was confused, and then she asked me if I had 35 dollars, it was so rude and unprofessional. At that point I certainly was not gonna pay to be tested like trash, so I decided to leave. She held the door open without a word. It was rude, nasty, and humiliating. My boyfriend felt awful, and I felt awful. Yeah, I can't believe I gave such a nice review last time, becaus what a mess. Back to Vogue salon and spa in Virginia Beach it is!!! read more

Let me begin by saying. I am very (extremely) particular about my nails. New to VA. I have been looking for a nail salon where I could get both my nails and toes done. I have found it. Michelle, Didi, we are in a whole relationship now . I will definitely be back. I will be bringing the girls, too. Look at the quality and perfection of my nails . This place is clean. They use autoclave to sterilize the instruments. The ambiance is a beautiful calm. While I was there , I met a client of their's who had been with them since the beginning. My pedicure was amazing. The massage chairs there have many options. This was the first of what I plan on being many future 10 star experiences with these ladies. As I was sitting, I saw the quality of many of the other nail technicians. They all seem skilled. You bring a picture of what you want they can do anything. I am so very happy!! Again LLOOKKK AT MY NAILS!! read more

I'm so happy I walked into Forever nails. I love getting ombre nails with dip, but I have been finding it difficult to find a salon that does it. I was so happy that I saw it on the list of services. I showed Michelle the design and she did it with no problem. She was so sweet and asked me if I liked it after the first nail. She adjusted it until it was the shade I liked. This will be my go to salon for now on. read more

I came in pretty late in the day after work w my daughter (5) I asked for a deluxe pedicure which was priced at $55 then I asked for my daughter to get both her nail and toes painted as well . We were seated quick and got right to business . Before I could even get my shoes off the tech asked me what color which I had to tell her give me one sec to look . After my toes were done my daughter wasn't finished so I sat there and waited . Suddenly I had hot coals and wax brought out to me so I'm looking at the service list hmm .. okay . My daughter was crying bc the heat of the dryer for the gel polish was pretty hot . I was constantly asked if I wanted my eyebrows done or eyelashes after I had already said no! Overall I paid $135 which I think is outrageous . The work was done nicely but I got charged $15 for nail art and my daughter has no nail art only polish and glitter . I probably won't be back read more

I really love how this place has small cubics, sparkles, pearls, and even gold foil to decorate your nails. It's hard to come across nail salons that have these, and when I saw them in the pictures, I knew I had to come here. I did street parking right across the street for free, but the staff also kindly informed me that they have a parking lot in the back as well. I came with a picture of gel nails that I saw a previous client receive, and the staff was very friendly in telling me what pieces were needed and that they could receive it. I got a fancy design on 3 nails, which I had to pay $12 extra on top of the $35 for gel, but seeing the results really made the extra cost worth it. I've had my nails for a week and there's no cracking anywhere. I'm hoping they last until I have them removed. I would come back here when I'm in the area again! read more

I am definitely not pleased with the service here. The guy who was doing my gel manicure and pedicure was nice and all but he seriously doesn't know how to do his job. I had gotten my nails done yesterday and they are already coming off of my hands, my toes look alright. I am disappointed. I paid 85 bucks for my nails, only for them to come off the next day. Such a rip off. I moved here recently from California so I had to leave my nail lady that only charged me 60 for pedicure and manicure and they lasted me for a month. Also when I went to pay he told me the the total and I asked for change back. I wasn't going to tip him for the horrible job he had done but he took the five bucks from the change he was giving me back for himself. I was shocked and just walked away. Never going to this place again. read more

This is glow in the dark pink thumbs, glitter polish usually done with glitter acrylic on the pinkies, ombre with crystals on pointer and ring finger and mood polish usually done with mood acrylic which both change colors on the middle finger. Toes have gel polish with big toe done in pink french with crystals lining across the pedicure. It's pricey but hey that's me read more

This place is very clean and affordable. they follow all COVID-19 Protocols. I made an appointment for my boyfriend and I;however, we had to wait for a little bit (they were so busy) but Kim took care of us very well. I got gel mani + pedi, my boyfriend got a pedi with stone massages, and I was very impressed on how patience Kim was she made sure that I liked what she was doing! read more

I was scared to try a new nail shop but since I will not be home any time soon, I had no choice but to get my nails done in Norfolk. This being said, I am absolutely in love with how my dip powder manicure and basic pedicure came out. Also loved my experience. There were positives and negatives but positives outweighed the negatives. + Louis (pronounced LOO-E) was very attentive to detail and definitely took his time I went in on a less busy day so they started on me immediately (Wednesday at 3:30PM) He was very friendly and constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable and not in pain Definitely worth the money My nails look really good - I was there from 3:30-6PM for a dip manicure and basic pedicure. My cuticles are bleeding really badly on my hands and they burn but he apologized for hurting me. Next time, I'll probably just ask to skip the cuticle cutting just because it hurt so much. Overall, I would still give it 5 stars despite the negatives due to the great customer service. Will definitely be back! read more

I went in for my Birthday nails today! This was my first time in this nail salon and my nail tech was super sweet. I love my nails from the front view although I do think they look overly thick from the side angle. My tech did an amazing job with blending for the ombré look as well as shaping my nails. I would definitely go back but probably not for Dip nails. read more
