    I recently had a mani/pedi by Marcus and he did a great job. I'm originally from Los Angeles, so I was shocked to see how expensive it is to get your nails done out here in Wisconsin. I'm accustomed to paying $40 for a Mani/ Pedi combo and out here you can easily pay $40 simply for a manicure. With that said, the service was great, and Marcus was very talkative and friendly. I received the best foot scrub. My only critique would be that I wish he followed up with applying lotion to my legs and feet as well as lotioning and giving a massage to my hands after the manicure. They were both dry, and I couldn't apply any lotion until after the nail polish was set. I will definitely come back again!

    Finally, a nail salon with amazing customer service. I came in and was in a chair within 10 minutes. My nail tech Jason, was extremely generous and was happy to talk about anything and everything with me. Quality polish, quality shaping, and a comfortable setting for anyone. Highly recommend.

    Gel (post 1 week)

    For a first time manicure, I am still obsessed with how great my nails look post 1 week. My cousin and I were quickly accommodated as walk-ins. I could look past the equipment that needed some updating. Their nail rack has endless options but appears to be unorganized. In terms of cleanliness... I was a little skeptical here on how equipment is sterilized. This is where I docked 2 stars. Would I return? Potentially, given the circumstances. The walk-in accommodation and final product were positive factors. If you card, they charge you a $1 processing fee. No biggie. I didn't have the option to add the tip onto the card, but luckily I had cash to do so.

    Not only was Marcus very friendly and funny, he took extra care to make sure my nails were perfect and exactly what I wanted!!! I had trouble finding a place around Madison with good reviews at a reasonable price and I found it! Would 100% go here again!

    I came to La Vie from a recommendation from two neighbors. This salon is making a regular customer of me. The staff is accommodating with appointments in advance. Yes, sometimes I wait 10-15 minutes before I'm helped. I can still get in and out in an hour. Above all, the quality in my experiences with gel manicures is impeccable. The staff is friendly and I enjoy chatting with them. Thank you, La Vie!

    I went here today for the first time to get my nails done for graduation. I made an appointment well in advance, but still had to wait 20 minutes for anyone to help me. No big deal, I waited until a nail technician could get started. My nail technician was very respectful and patient, and listened to what shape acrylic nails I wanted. He did a great job and I'm really happy with them. The reason I docked a couple stars is because he didn't do ANY work on my cuticles, which clearly needed some attention. He didn't trim them or the dry skin around my nails. I rarely if ever get acrylic nails and for the price, I expected more, especially because now they look like they're already growing out. I would recommend this place, but make sure you request having cuticle work done, even though that's something that should be done without request at any decent nail salon.

    Jason continues to do a lovely job with my nails. My nails are not very nice to begin with, so his ability to make them look presentable is extra impressive.

    This is long overdue! My best friend and I came here a few months ago to get our nails done for my wedding. Staff was friendly....and hilarious. They were very entertaining and definitely knew how to treat their customers well. Many customers came in that were obviously regulars were greeted immediately by first names with a smile. That's always nice to see from any place of business. Our pedicures felt amazing. We both had a shellac gel manicure; sheer pink for me and gray for her. The color selections were decent. The one who did my nails (can't remember his name) did a great job with listening to me about the length I wanted. Long nails drive me crazy and I can't type properly at work. My manicure lasted a few weeks, even through ocean water when we to Hawaii for our honeymoon right after. I don't get my nails done often since I do them at home to save money, but this will definitely be the place I go to for special occasions.

    Gel extensions w/ color, done by Marcus.
    Grace C.

    I got gel extensions with Marcus yesterday, and so far, so good! I was able to get an appointment within half an hour of when I called, and they were very helpful in accommodating the fact that I needed to leave by a certain time. My experience in the salon was good; Marcus was conversational but not overly pushy or chatty, which was nice because I tend to like to zone out when I'm getting my nails or hair done. He did a great job on my nails - made sure to clarify with me so he understood exactly what I wanted in terms of shape and length, and even complimented me on the color I picked. I could tell he was intent on getting them just right, too. He didn't rush, and a few times even paused to check that the length, shape, etc. were even and looked good. Overall, I'm very happy, and I'm sure I'll be back again.

    I've been coming to EWC for over a year, and more than half my appointments with Sesha have started…read morelate--sometimes by 5 mins, sometimes by 30. This isn't about her; it's about a broken scheduling system. I've suggested redefining new customer to include anyone not seen in 3+ months (since 6 weeks is a full hair growth cycle), but nothing has changed. In the past, the rushed time even left me with residual wax, but I didn't complain. They also raised the price recently and it's now $61 excluding tip. Meanwhile, a competitor I've tried has been on time 100% of the time, so it's clearly possible. The delays here cost me extra parking fees, push back other commitments, and cause anxiety when I can't make work meetings. With no Wi-Fi and terrible reception, I can't even do anything productive while waiting. Time is money. During my last visit on 8/8, I was told Sesha would be 5 minutes late... then 10... then maybe another 5, before being told I should consider another specialist or reschedule. REALLY? EWC cancels my appointment if I'm 5 minutes late, yet doesn't hold itself accountable for being on time. How is that customer-centric?

    I've been serviced at this European Wax Center more than five times, having purchased a wax pass…read morebundle, and overall I've been pretty pleased with the results and timing of my sessions. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was not as good. All appointments are booked in 15 minute increments regardless of the service. My appointment began about 10 minutes late, and lasted 25 minutes. My partner had the same specialist immediately after me, so her session began more than 20 minutes late. 15 minutes per session isn't realistic as some services (like a full Brazilian or full legs) take longer. The issue is when one appointment starts late or runs over, it creates a domino effect for everyone after. In the past, I've had great experiences with Sesha--she's one of the best there, and she's always made me feel comfortable. But when I got home after this visit, I noticed patches of hair left behind and bits of wax still on my skin. Some even stuck to my clothes, which was difficult to remove. I suspect the rush to catch up on the schedule affected the quality this time. At checkout, I planned to use my gift card of $67 to cover my wax, but was told it's now $80. When I questioned this, they said their prices went up in April. I felt a 20% increase was a bit steep! While I've had good results in the past, this last experience left me less satisfied, and I hope management works on improving appointment timings so the quality isn't compromised.

    Jumping Jimeney! They are the best. I was up here on…read morevacation. Wanted to find a nail place and chose them off of Yelp. When I called with a question, they were very nice and I made an appointment. I am so glad that I did. Tom did my nails. He did a great job! Did a nice job and the cuticles, the length and the shape. Exactly how I like it. When I walked in this was the color I wanted, but they had the color with sparkles. So I got that. If I was up here again I would stop in. I just wish that they were in my neighborhood so they could be my regular to go place. Thanks Tom! You're the best!

    My daughter and I made an appointment for 3:30 on Friday for two pedicures and two full sets. We…read morearrived at 3:25 and checked in. My daughter was taken at 3:55 to get a full set. At 4:10, I was asked to sit in a pedicure chair. The gentleman who did my pedicure was rough, cut me twice, trimmed far too much off my big toes, and left nail polish on my skin. I didn't receive several of the items listed on that pedicure type. My daughter finished when I was still having my pedicure, and they directed her to a chair next to mine. After she waited almost 30 minutes, she didn't even want the pedicure anymore. No one ever came over to acknowledge her or start working. There were walk ins after her that received service. I finally sat down to have my nails done at 5:05. I had a picture of the French manicure I wanted. It took an hour and 45 minutes. It looked nothing like the photos; the edges were sharp and I scratched myself. There was so much product under the nails and I asked him to file it, but he did not. For two French manicures with a full set and one pedicure, I spent $224!
