Unfortunately one of the nail techs at this salon gave my friend an extremely disappointing experience and not great customer service. My friend asked for an acrylic set and it came out extremely poorly. The nail tech, who I believe is the owner or the owner's wife, was distracted with other customers and did not ask my friend if it looked ok before did the whole set. I feel like any experienced nail tech could do this design easily, it is not too complicated. She did a great job with the color, however the design speaks for itself sadly. I took my friend here to get her nails done for her birthday and I look over to see her holding back tears because she was so frustrated. After I paid for her nails (and still tipped the nail tech anyway), I stood up for my friend and extremely politely asked if she could redo the set because it didn't turn out the way she wanted and it was her birthday the next day. Again, I'm unsure how the nail tech looked at the set and thought they were fine. I wish she had told my friend "I cannot do this design" before attempting anyway. My friend did get her nails redone the next day, French tip instead. They looked fine in the end. However, the same nail tech was extremely rude and tried to blame my friend for picking the wrong color. She said she would usually charge the customer again even though it was her mistake. But since it was her birthday, she won't. She also called me out for asking her to redo them. What kind of customer service is that? Sorry lady, but the truth is they looked terrible and we will never be coming back. Cheers!

The nails I got

My best friends took me here to get my nails done for my birthday. It was supposed to be a girls day but because I decided to get a full set I got my manicure while my friends got the pedicures. We were separated the whole time even though we requested to sit next to each other and when we asked why we couldn't sit together my nail technician said it was because my nails would take a long time. After I showed my nail technician a picture of nails that was a simple design I think any skilled nail technician would be able to perform this task. My nail tech told me she could do that for me, and she did a great job shaping my nails and choosing the correct colors that match the picture. Unfortunately it was the design that was very poorly done and my service felt very rushed and not very intentional. While I was getting my pedicure, I had found myself close to tears with disappointment with how my nails turned out and that my friends were across the room from me. One of my friends told my nail technician that my nails were done very poorly, and that we would like them to be redone and asked to be scheduled the next day, which was my birthday... My nail technician agreed to get me in. I apologize for the inconvenience and I showed up for my appointment the next morning (my birthday). When I sat down, I apologize for the inconvenience again and thanked her for getting me in. And she was incredibly rude, and said the next time I come in I need to be sure which color I want because this is an even longer service and normally she would charge, but she won't just because it's my birthday. And then she told me it was only because my friends didn't like my nails that I came back to get another service. No honey, the nails you gave me were so bad I cried during my pedicure. I completely shut down and didn't say another word to her the entire hour she worked on my nails because I didn't want to upset her to the point where the nails would turn out poorly again. I can't believe any professional nail technician would find the nails that she gave me acceptable. Needless to say we will never be going back. The crazy part of all of this was she was the owner's wife! The manager.. Thank you for a very poor, unprofessional service.

Please do not support this business. Had my nails done wrong the first time. Did not have time to have re-done in that same sitting as it already took much longer than I was expecting, so told them I would be back to have them fixed. They said ok. While there, another customer was complaining about her nails being done wrong as well, while the owner argued with her and told her to "calm down" and that it was her (the customers) fault her nails were breaking after a week. Came back later the same afternoon to a completely empty salon. They then told me they would charge me extra for fixing them after I had already paid $30. While trying to argue why I was back to have them fixed, the woman owner argued back with me in an aggressive tone saying that I was wrong, they were right. Its my fault that my nails are not as I had asked for. I let her know that her customer service was absolutely horrible since I had already seen how she treated the other customer earlier that morning. She continued to actually yell at me, interrupting me, telling me I do not know what I am talking about. I told her it is no wonder her business has literally not 1 single customer, while 4 employees sit at empty desks making no money. Anyway, got my nails "fixed". See attached image of my bleeding cuticles. Walked out and told her she does not deserve to own a business. Waste of money here.

No. Save your time and money. It was my first visit and my last. Dip nails are lumpy, uneven and streaky. No. I use getting my nails done to relax and this was the least relaxing experience I've ever had.

*Update- The salon reached out to me on the same day I posted my review. They offered to redo my paint job and apologized. I appreciated the phone call. LaVie is not close to me so I have not gone back in. I will return however due to their Customer service post review.

Dip mani, cuticles not done because apparently it's extra and wasn't offered prior to starting so it was too late when I asked about it.

The actual work isn't bad, but the customer service and communication is. I made an appointment to check the place out and see if I'd want to take my bachelorette party here. It's also my birthday, so I thought I'd treat myself. I got there just a few minutes past the appointment (traffic and road work) so I expected to wait a few minutes, but not 20 min. Once we got started, I was told I couldn't do dip ombré because my nails are too short. Fine. Picked a dip color based on the samples (a dull purple). She got started and no questions other than the shape I wanted. Waited for her to do my cuticles but that didn't happen so I asked about it and she said I should've asked earlier because it's extra. NOWHERE on their little menu does it give cuticles as an extra. Thus, I assumed it was included like every other nail salon I've ever been to. Who doesn't want their cuticles touched up when you pay for a manicure? Fast forward and we're done. Color is like a neon purple. Not the color on the sample that I picked. She ended it by saying I could grab lotion at the register. $40 for plain dip with no actual lotion put on after or cuticles done is ridiculous. And color doesn't match what was shown on the samples. I'd NEVER pick a neon color because I'm more into neutrals and dull colors. The actual thickness is fine, but oh please some decent customer service would be GREAT. Especially when it's a new customer. And no offer to fix things when I was obviously unhappy.

white gel was 65 not worth the price.

Make your appointment here!! The professional nail technicians were ready to start and gave my…read morefriends and I great quality service. The Salon was very clean and aesthetically beautiful, which allowed the relaxation to be enjoyed very much so.

I honestly didn't even want to write this review because I've been to this nail salon several times…read morebefore and had always had a great experience. I actually grew really fond of this salon. Last month, I went in for a full set, and everything seemed to go well. I was happy with my nails and even left a good tip. A couple of weeks later, I started noticing a lot of discomfort and pain. After taking a closer look, I realized that my acrylic nails had been filed so thin that they had essentially become embedded into my natural nails. It wasn't just one nail--most of them had some degree of damage, although one was significantly worse than the others. I never hit, broke, or injured my nails during the time I had them on, so I don't believe this was caused by anything I did. To prevent further damage, I had to trim the acrylics down because I was worried about ripping off my natural nails. Once I soaked them off, I found that one of my natural nails had a large tear and was barely hanging on. The damage is visible in the photos. I'm genuinely disappointed because I had always enjoyed coming here, and this is not a review I wanted to leave. I simply wanted to share my experience so others are aware and can make an informed decision. I truly hope this was an isolated incident, but unfortunately, the damage to my natural nails has been painful and will take time to heal.

Honestly I hate how they only do basic nails .. how do you do nails for so many years and still…read morecan't do designs or make the nails look straight ... came here for a basic nail set and it was 70... always lobsided I called for long nails and some lady kept convincing me to get natural just color .not worth it but the workers were really nice can't complain about that part ..

So, I hate leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately that is what this one is. My friend and I go to…read moreFancy Nails because it is only a couple blocks from our houses, which is very convenient. The technicians are a husband and wife. The husband is very nice and cheerful and does a decent job. He actually does a great job with drawing fun designs on my toes in the summer time. But, I must say; his wife is very rude and unpleasant. She is always putting other nail technicians down when she notices that we went elsewhere for any work we've have had done at other salons. We went in last weekend for manicures, and my cuticle got nipped a little too deep and bled. It took over 15 minutes to finally get it to stop bleeding where he could finally continue to work on my nails. When it came to fingernail polish, it was hard for me to find a polish that wasn't dried out and sticky. This was taking more time than usual (due to him nipping my cuticle and trying to find decent polish). His wife actually angrily yelled at me to hurry up because he had another client waiting. Just know, she had already finished with my friend and was doing nothing as she was yelling at me. I let her know that I was trying to hurry, but was having a hard time finding polish that wasn't dried out. I found it to be very unprofessional and extremely rude for her to have yelled at me from across the room in front of other people. A friendly professional person would have either helped me find a polish that was fresh, or at least helped her husband get his client started until he could finish with me. She was too busy yelling at me and huffing and puffing while angrily babbling in a language unknown to me. Her husband was not responding to her and I could tell he was embarrassed. Because of her horrible behavior and uncontrollable outbursts, I do not give this salon business unless it's an emergency, and I always regret when I do finally return.. for more abuse. Anyways, I do not recommend this business for all the above reasons.
