I admire their commitment to servicing all of their clients - both appointment and walk-in. However this dedication to getting in every customer should not take precedence over the quality of work being given. I was a walk in and appreciated being seated however the woman doing my nails was doing another customer's nails right next to me at the same time... she also got up 2 or 3 times to do eyebrow waxing. My manicure was beautiful but one nail lifted underneath the tip within a day (salvageable with nail glue and wasn't a problem after that). I'm not sure if it would have lifted if she was giving me an adequate amount of attention. Another thing that concerned me is that there were people waiting on service while at the same time there were many employees without anything to do... some were cleaning up, talking, or on their phone while a few select employees took on the clients. Not sure if this means that only some employees can perform certain tasks or what... Also, a poor unfortunate customer slipped in the water from a leaky pedicure chair and fell down as she went to go wash her hands. read more

LaVi Nails - My dip powder experience is always amazing with Mary! Make sure to book her when coming to the nail salon! Always a great experience! - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Called and made an appointment on a Saturday for 2:30. I get in and the lady I made the appointment with (Cathy or Kathy) literally takes someone instead of me and the other lady (Tina) is so irked that she doesn't even help me because my appointment was apparently with Kathy. I didn't specify anyone. I just needed a fill. It's been over 30 mins. NEVER COMING BACK. read more

Worst nail salon experience ever! A friend and I went here on a busy Satuday afternoon. We didn't have an appointment but they said that was fine and told us to wait 10 minutes. But it took longer than that until we were seated, which was not a big deal for us because we were in no big rush. (It didn't help that they didn't have a real receptionist. The person doing my nails was running back and forth between my nails and the customers.) But the "10 minute" wait time for the people after us was a lot longer. It only gets worse from this point on. -The guy doing my friend's nails makes her bleed in several areas, something that's never happened to her. What's worse and shady is that he used tools that he took out from his drawer, not from a sanitizing solution or sterilizer. Her nails were hurting for a few days after that. -My nail guy has no idea how to shape my nails into a squoval. He ended up making my nails look very uneven. He even hurt my nails in the process. They hurt for the rest of the week. -After they cleaned our nails, they told us to wash our hands. It was even weirder for my friend since she just had lotion applied to her hands. I've never had to do that! -Our nails didn't come out that great. I could've done the same quality at home -For the pedicure, they had me sit at a chair where there was water already prepared and it didn't look too fresh but they insisted that it was clean, so I gave in. I was skeptical and worried that I would contract something. -The product they used to scrub our feet didn't seem like great quality, didn't smell too good and felt grimy. -Here's the worst part! Someone came over and took the tools that were used on my feet for a pedicure and used it on someone else WITHOUT disinfecting it. Gross! So unsanitary! I didn't expect a luxurious spa experience but I expected it to be sanitary at the least! read more

The only good thing about this place is that they are open late. PERIOD It is pricier than others. They charge 10 dollars to soak off gel color (which they don't disclose in advance and comes as a surprise at the time of paying your bill) On my visit I payed 70 dollars for a "spa pedi", i got someone that was clearly in training but there was no one there to supervise what she was doing. She took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get my pedicure done and that is without applying nail polish because she was not able to and kept messing my nails so after the third time she tried, I had to ask someone else to paint them. CRAZY Then, another tech was doing my soak off my hands and was filing my nails so hard to accelerate the process that she cut me above my cuticle (which actually hurt A LOT) and not even a flinch or apology from her. I DID ASK HER TO PLEASE APOLOGIZE AT LEAST AS SHE CLEARLY SAW I WAS IN PAIN. it's been 3 days since that horrific experience and my gel color is already chipping (i dont do heavy work or house chores or dishes so no reason for my gel color to be chipped 3 days later). Unless it's an emergency and it's late do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PLACE. THEY ONLY SEEM TO BE NICE TO THEIR REGULARS. In fact, they should be reported to BBB and the NJ department of consumer affairs, maybe then they will cut all the shennanigans they get away with. read more

Felt uncomfortable after being asked to pay for the service before they were finished and the lady gave a terrible excuse for asking as if I would run out of the place. Once she finished I looked down and saw residue on my hands and decided I'd rather just leave than make myself more uncomfortable. read more

Had to get a nail fixed that broke (Acrylic) and a polish change, they were so rude, unprofessional and just terrible. The lady did a half a## job I had to keep telling her I had bubbles on my nails she payed no mind and of course the nail that was supposed to be fixed is broken less than 24hrs after... I'd rather let my hand fall off and not go there again. Total rush even though she had no one. I'm so pissed I even considered going there. read more

Pricey for mediocre service. They don't even try to do a good job. I went in for a manicure and felt like it was a race to get my mani done (the place was empty so not sure what the rush was). The lady didn't even paint my entire fingernail. The manicure was $12 for a shitty job. Don't waste your time!! read more

The worst manicure I've had. They charge a la cart for fill, filing the length, and gel on top. Skill level is far below what they charge.

I made the biggest mistake of choosing them They ruined my nails and tried to sell me all kinds of services I couldn't wait to get out of there read more

The gel manicure I got was very sloppy. I can see the brush marks and I'm not sure what shape she was going for. Square? Round? I can't tell. Plenty of other better places to get manicures. Will not go back. My toenail also chipped within 24 hours read more

Worst main-pedi ever!!! The girl rushed the whole service and was pretty rude to me. Her application of the nail polish on my toes was so incorrect and it ended up looking so uneven and undistributed, which I didn't even realize until I reached outside the mall. So disappointed and money wasted. There are definitely much better local nail salons than this. Please don't ever consider going here even if it's an emergency. read more

I've been visiting this nail salon for roughly 2 months, every Wednesday, the technicians I've had previously were very nice. After today I will never step foot in this place again this was the worst experience I've had in any nail salon, that includes the one after which I got an infection. First, my pedicure went ok a little rushed. The technician acted a little pissed when I asked her to take callouses off the second foot, she was in a rush and didn't do the other foot. I don't know who was rushing her with the few customers in at that time. Then she started my manicure, I explained to her that I wanted them to just be evened out. She rushed through them and they looked absolutely crooked. I started to even some out myself and asked her to do the rest. Another technician just sitting without a client asked her something in Spanish. Then suddenly my technician makes this face to her and says in English, "she wants them perfect". My stomach sank and I just wanted to throw up. I asked her who the manager or owner was, she ignored my question and called over another technician. She told me the new technician can do my nails but I have to show her a picture. I showed the new technician a picture close to the nail shape I had, ovalish almond. All I wanted to do was just run away at this point, never ever has any other place treated me so disgustingly rude! Needless, to say the second technician butchered the nails I was growing out for such a long time. Finally, she got the manager who looked at the nails she butchered and filed and began to argue that my nails were too short to do almond. Funny, they weren't when I walked in. Also, he argued with what almond nails looked like, calling the many pictures on the internet labeled "almond" oval. What does it matter I showed her a picture, after that I can call it "man on the moon nails". They offered to do tips on my healthy nails. At this point I just broke down crying, I was treated like shit and if I would have gotten the manager when I asked much of this could have been avoided. read more

I was here visiting from Philadelphia and had to make a stop at the mall. Looking down at my bags I realized I still had forgotten to get a manicure and then I stumbled upon La-Vi Nails. Place is clean and pretty open. Service was friendly and even though they werent busy- they were efficient. I didn't get a full hand massage, but nor was I expecting one for a $10 manicure. I did express interest in a 'special' brand of polish after my mani was already started but it was $4.00 more (after I asked). No thanks. So, I got my basic manicure, with basic polish, got basic service. Not bad, not great, but certainly not horrible. I'm between 2-3 stars so I'm opting for 2 because all manicures deserve a bit of attention in the form of a massage. Not sure why everyone is saying this place is so horrible- it's not a Four Seasons Spa, its a nail salon in a mall for crying out loud. What do you expect? read more

This review is for the eyebrow threader, Neeru, who works at La-Vi Nails. Prior to Neeru, I used to get my eyebrows waxed and threaded by someone else. I never got the desired shape and I was very dissatisfied with my eyebrows. Neeru turned all of that around! I now have the eyebrow shape that is ideal for my face and I've never been more satisfied. Neeru takes her time and is all about costumer satisfaction. Her job isn't complete unless you're happy. read more

if you want to wait this is your place. 10 minutes? more like 30 minutes. I wasn't in a rush so I waited it out and was hopeful that at least the end product would be satisfactory. Once I was finally seated I still had to wait around for someone to tend to my station. There was a flow of customers still waiting. The problem wasn't even staffing it was just about efficiencey. When I finally did get my nails done the paint job was great but it consisted of a file, cuticle cleaning and painting. After my nails were filed they didn't even buff it properly so after my nails were painted you still could see bits of the nail that was filed dangling off-- mm yea not so cute. Overall experience: poor Overall service: less than satisfactory This was a definite "don't judge a book by it's cover" adorable from the outside-- hot mess once you get in. :sigh: read more

Nail salon was very nice, however the lady that did my nails was not so nice. She didn't say much barely said sorry when she hurt me and wasn't friendly at all. However she did a really nice job with my shape and polish. Sadly the gel that I got on top of the color has wrinkles all over it and I don't know why. read more

Love it here, always get a mani pedi gel nails, super quick and efficient and the seats massage you while you wait! Went in here last week and the service was shocking so I've changed my star from four to two. Four of my nails have chipped in between having a couple of other issues at this place. I contacted the manager who has read my message but still hasn't got back to me. Don't go here, they don't care about their customers only how many people they can squeeze in. My nails are a disgrace and I paid $70 and then the tip! If I could leave zero starts I would and I will never be back. read more

Very unprofessional and super overpriced. They charge $10 to take gel polish off when all they do is file it off. I in less than a minute. $15 for gel color, $20 if it's a special color like chrome or tiger's eye. Going back to my old place even though it's out of the way. read more

I've been Going to do my nails with Mary for about a year in a half consistently to get a fill in and then pedi . I honestly love this place! I especially love my girl Mary ! Since day one she's been a delight, she's also great at what she does and I always leave happy with my nails. Coffin sharp is my preference, she knows how I like them. read more

I walked in here to kill some time to get a manicure Not only was I greeted rudely but I was next to get a Medicare and a girl was waiting for a gel and she explained to the nail technician that the last time she did her nails it only lasted a day the nail technician she literally argued and gave the girl attitude and then said to the customer while waving her hand and her face somebody else would do your nails next and point it to me I got up and said I don't want your business and I walked out read more

LaVi Nails - Slightly coffin style nails. By Don. - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Only 1 star because 0 is not an option. Horrible customer service and complete disappointment. The ladies are all rude, nationality doesn't matter. I scheduled an appointment with Maria and when I arrived she took another customer that walked in with me. After I asked to be taken care of by someone else and was assigned another girl they had me wait over 15 minutes. At that point I just walked out because I had had enough. They are not clean and don't even use real towels. They use cheap see through paper towels and the tables and chairs are all ruined. Don't go there unless you want to waste your time and money. Not even the owner cared to look up from her phone and whatever show she was watching to see what was going on. If you're sick and tired of customers just close the doors to the business and stop acting like you are doing people a favor. Last I checked the service was not free. read more

Horrible service. I wanted to get a mani-pedi and try gel nails for the first time. Staff were rolling their eyes at me when I was telling them I wanted to try gel nails (first time here) and that I'm supposed to tell them it's the shellac kind and not UV. The lady who did my pedi was so unprofessional and she kept giving me frustrated looks. She even said she doesn't understand and didn't even apologize. I wanted to walk out right there and then but finished the pedi and didn't even bother with getting my manicure done. Worst experience ever. Def WILL NOT recommend! AVOID! read more

I got my nails done here and it was a terrible job. I asked for a mattee finish the edges were left shiny because she didn't polish my entire nail. Update: I am waiting to get my upper lip threaded and they dont have a proper system in place. They took other people before. I am soo annoyed!!!!!! read more

I guess it is winter and morning that's why its not full but many people come here. The place is clean, excellent service, and have tons of option. Money well spent to pamper yourself good thing my husband found this place while I was returning something in the mall. read more

Came in bright and early hoping to get one nail repaired and the person that was there barely greeted me as she was wiping down chairs, on her phone, and also seemed like she had a cold because she was constantly sniffing. When she finally began to attend to me she was so rough in ripping the part of gel that was still on with a nail tip!!!! Omg what a brut! I asked if there was anyone else and she said no. I got up and left. Mind you I did get my nails done there 2 weeks ago with a very pleasant person. NEVER COMING BACK! Not even in an emergency. read more

I went to this place in the afternoon on a Friday. The place was pretty empty and had an upscale look that wasn't kept up. Not only did I have to wait but 45 mint. later for a pedi & mani. The water got so cold from me waited I had to call the manager over to put more hot water in....... Then 2 women came in after me and got service b4 me?!!!! So I complained and the manager tells me, they were there b4 and they checked in and came back!!!!!!!!! BS! Its Friday that check is BS should NOT take place on the weekend!!!!!!!!!! The lady that did my nails did not speak English (Spanish) and her nails were so long she could barely do mine............. So needless to say I did not get the manicure after that. I was so discussed that I left..........And will never return if that's the last nail salon on the PLANET!!!! #THUMBS-DOWN!!!!!!!! read more

I come here all the time and I love how my nails come out!!! I've gotten my eyebrows waxed here too and it's always come out great. Highly recommend coming here!! read more

Me and my mom had to find a nail salon after the one we went to for years closed. After searching and being recommended, we came to LaVi. Mary has been our only nail technician for years now! She is so patient with my crazy design requests and always makes them so beautiful. The whole staff is so kind and is willing to fix nails if they get messed up or broken. Mary is funny and great to talk to, and is fast too! Any other salon I've tried a gel fill in can take over an hour, but no more than 45 minutes with Mary! They also do great eye/lip waxing and it has shockingly never affected my skin like most hot wax has at other places. So grateful for this salon and our incredible technician, thank you for all of the stunning nails over the years and all of the compliments I get on them. read more

I come here sometimes to get acrylic nails. Overall it's pretty good but the person that does my nails (the owner?) seems to always rush it a lot of the times. But she's super nice and open.

Easy walk in nail salon and they will take you with no appointment. I was looking for a quick fill in while Christmas shopping and they did the job, however my manicurist looked miserable the entire time. She was annoyed that she had to speak to people!!! She was very rude to her coworkers and rushed through my nails. The salon was not busy at all as it was a Wednesday around 2:30. Most people are still at work so I wasn't sure why she was rushing to get through a customer. She pointed at where the gel colors were and then was annoyed when I chose a color she couldn't find. Her name was Mary and I still tipped well although once I was walking out I realized she rushed through my nails so she could watch videos on her cell phone. Very unprofessional and I will not be returning! read more

I have been going here for almost a year and I have to say I have yet to be disappointed. Don, my nail tech, always does an excellent job and honors all my requests. I constantly get compliments on my nails. I agree with others, that the prices are a bit up there but honestly you get what you pay for I feel it's 100% worth the price here. The same goes for their pedicures. They're extremely sanitary and always do an excellent job. The late hours are Definitely also a plus. read more
