I absolutely Love LV Nails.. From Lynn to David to Cindy and everyone else there.. I had been going to LV Nails for years. Driving from Lawrenceville to Athens (when they were there) to Bethlehem. I have tried others and have found no place that even comes close to LV Nails. I drive over 30 minutes to have my nails done.. This Nails salon is always clean, professional and to me it says a lot when the same people work at a salon for years... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LV NAILS.. It truly is the best . Thank You Lynn and David for using quality products and offering such great service.. Check them out you will be glad you did... read more

I'm not usually one to write a review but after my experience at LV Nails, I feel compelled to do so. I had a great experience at LV Nails! My friend and I went as a special treat after work and LV Nails didn't disappoint! The staff was so incredibly friendly and conversed with us like they had known us for years! Their service was exceptional and so was the quality of their work! We were both ABSOLUTELY pleased with our pedicures and manicures. We most definitely plan to return in the future and would recommend LV nails to our friends! read more

It's hit or miss. Some of the people that work here are great but many others rush through and don't ask before up charging. I was just there today and was asked if I wanted the some salt scrub... I said "is it extra"? She said yes... I said "no thanks just regular.... Ive already spent too much today"....next thing you know I was salt scrubbed on legs and arms and charged $12 extra. It was awkward so I let it go. They lady who did my daughter's nails was great but, we won't be back. read more
