Manicure by Vivienne. Pedicure by staff My most favorite summer nails yet!
Irene R.

Vivienne does an amazing job on my gel builder manicures!! She pays close attention to detail and she does an amazing job when I show her pics of what I want! If I want the exact designs matched I come here because I know they will do their best and the quality of nail products are top notch. It's very serene and peaceful every time I come here and feels like I'm off to the spa!

I have now had three sets done here and I've been blown away every time! My previous set survived 3.5 weeks and a full week of camping!!It's safe to say I'm happy with the quality at Milavu! My current set is for my birthday, beautifully executed by Sue who worked with me to incorporate a few inspo looks together!

This place is tucked in an older plaza but has good amount of parking. Area is quiet too especially on a Saturday afternoon. When you walk in, you're welcomed by a cozy, modern minimalist interior. They are very clean and hygienic too. Sharlene greeted me and checked me in as I walked in, which was nice because she also did my pedicure. She was very sweet and patient with me since I had a few requests during my pedicure. She was also gentle and did a great job! I booked my GelX manicure with Tyson since I noticed he did a lot of the nail art on their social media. Let's just say he NAILed my inspo (pun intended). I am so happy with how it turned out. He was also patient with me since I had to pause mid artwork to use the bathroom (& yes I did use the bathroom the moment I arrived too). I appreciated that he would ask for my opinions on the artwork because I opted for gold detailing compared to my inspo pic. I had a great experience and I look forward to coming back for future nail appointments!

Acrylic with black French tip and a PERFECTLY executed flower
Val M.

This was the best nail studio I've been to in years! The representative at the front desk was incredibly helpful and sweet. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for her name. A very talented nail tech with an eyebrow slit (I believe his name is spelled Wynn) did my pedicure and polish, and KIM did my manicure. They both checked in with me throughout the services to make sure I was happy with everything, and they did an AMAZING job. I'm super satisfied with both the customer service and the quality of their work. ***UPDATE: My nails survived five days in Cabo filled with tons of walking and swimming! I'm officially a month in, and these are the longest-lasting acrylic nails I've ever had WITHOUT lifting or getting caught in my hair. That alone says a lot about the quality of their work!*** Definitely coming back.

Builder gel by Bonnie
Song C.

I needed a last minute revamp on my nails for my builder gel and got them done by Bonnie - she did such an amazing job on my nails and did exactly what i was looking for. She's worked on my nails before and knew she could execute what i was looking for. Solid color with cat eye is what i got. 10/10 would recommend. Her attention to detail is what im grateful for and shes very gentle on my nails. No anxiety whatsoever. Thank you Milavu and Bonnie :) am and will always come back here for their services

Joleena A.

Ian is fantastic! He's courteous, professional, and very respectful of your time. The quality of his work is top-notch, even underneath the nails is clean. Throughout the appointment, he checked in at every step to make sure I was happy with the length, shape, color, and overall look. When I was deciding on a color, he took the time to show options on my nails which made choosing much easier. The salon also offers a 7-day guarantee in case anything happens to your nails, which is a great added benefit. The space itself is chic and welcoming, and they even offer complimentary drinks. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend Ian and this salon!

Autumn C.

Milavu Nail Studio is clean, staff were very nice, prices are great, and only 10 minutes away from my house. As much as I wanted to love it, the technician who did my pedicure today did not seem very experienced. I originally booked with Bonnie but was asked if I would consider a different technician who is "very good" as Bonnie was running behind schedule today. The gentleman who did my pedicure today was very nice but kept chafing my skin with the file as he was shaping the toenails, which were filed unevenly. I came home and had to clip off a sharp end on my big toe myself. Again he was really nice and tried his best to be gentle but he needs a lot more practice with shaping. I'm still leaving a positive review because you can tell that they are trying to run a good business but I don't think it was fair to change out a requested technician with someone who needs more training.

Builder gel manicure and cuticle cut
Ciera T.

I am so impressed with this nail salon! Clean, quiet, professional, and staff were so attentive and sweet. I feel like normally places rush and cut corners but this place is the opposite. Easy online booking with transparent prices, good color selection, on time service, and each person took their time. They accept Apple Pay, cards, and cash and have an option to add tip on card. They have lots of options to upgrade pedicures and manicures but the basic pedicure was great and thorough. This place is hidden in a quiet plaza but very good find and excited to come back. Also you get a first time customer discount!

Steffanie N.

I've been coming to Milavu Nail Studio for quite a while, and no matter which nail artist I see, the quality and attention to detail are always exceptional. Everyone is incredibly talented, and they consistently take their time to make sure every set is perfect. The salon is clean, welcoming, and professional, and I always leave loving my nails. This latest set is one of my favorites! I highly recommend Milavu Nail Studio to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality nails and outstanding service.

Tia K.

Got a mani and 2 pedis and LOVED it. It was easy to make a same day appointment. Everyone was so kind. The pedicure was so relaxing. They went quick but it really felt like they took their time. Not once did anything feel rushed. I will definitely come back here.

Nails by Bonnie
Daniela R.

Nails by Bonnie. She did an amazing job doing builder gel on my real nails. I'm sor happy with them thank you!!

Nancy S.

Milavu is my favorite nail salon! I have been going here for over a year and I have never been disappointed. All the staff does a great job and my nails always last! These are my most recent set from Ian, I love them so much!

Gel x nails by Vivian! Soooooo cute.
Jade M.

Gel x nails by Vivian! She did an amazing job. I showed her an inspo picture and it looks exactly like it! They're so cute! Summer vibes. I also got my toes to match.

After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

I love how natural and clean my nails look. They feel strong without being super thick or bulky, and I feel like they hold up so much better than what I've done in the past.

She's also really knowledgeable about builder gel and what works best for my nails. I can bring her an idea and she'll make it work for me, or I can just trust her to come up with something.

My mani, however, not so much. I asked for a color and although the bottle was too dry, he insisted that the top coat would smooth out the bumps and polish-less spots. It was incredibly textured and uneven so I asked that he remove the coats and that I'd be happy to pass on getting a manicure as closing time was approaching. He was super nice about it and apologetic and insisted I pick out another color. Unfortunately, the second attempt was not much better. My nails were bumpy, the filed edges were rough, there was polish and cotton strands on my nails and skin. I wanted to speak to a manager but staff had left for the day as the redo caused the service time to go past 6pm. I want to love this place but feel very disappointed in the service I received.

This review has been a long time coming! Honestly, selfishly, I hesitated to post it because…read moregetting an appointment with Belle is already difficult enough, and I'm not exactly trying to make it harder for myself. But credit is due where credit is due, and exceptional work deserves to be recognized! This review is dedicated to Belle, a true artist who works absolute magic. There hasn't been a single inspiration picture I've shown her that she hasn't been able to recreate. And I don't mean just the general design -- I mean the details, the shape, and even the exact color. I can show her a picture, and somehow she manages to find the perfect shade to match it. Her ability to bring inspiration pictures to life is unmatched. What truly sets Belle apart, however, is her attention to detail. Her work is immaculate. She is a perfectionist in the best possible way, taking her time to ensure every nail is even, properly shaped, and perfectly aligned. Nothing looks rushed, crooked, or unfinished. Everything is intentional. I've received compliments on my cuticles countless times, which says so much about the level of care she puts into her work. She's also incredibly skilled at addressing ingrown nails with the same precision and care. Belle doesn't just do nails; she takes pride in her craft. And that difference is evident in every appointment. You're not simply paying for a manicure; you're paying for her expertise, patience, precision, and the years of skill it takes to deliver consistently beautiful results. That said, if you're lucky enough to secure an appointment with her, please respect her time the same way you expect her to respect yours. Belle is in high demand for a reason, so please don't show up late. If you're unsure what color or design you want, arrive early enough to browse the colors and have an idea of what you're looking for. Her time is valuable, and being considerate of her schedule is the bare minimum. At the end of the day, respect goes both ways. You expect your nail technician to give you her time, attention, and best work, and she deserves that same consideration from her clients. Belle, your talent speaks for itself, and your work is a reflection of the pride you take in what you do. You deserve every bit of recognition you receive. Thank you for consistently exceeding my expectations and for making sure I leave loving my nails every single time. Five stars, without hesitation. If you know, you know. And if you're lucky enough to get on her books, you'll understand exactly why she's worth the wait. And let's talk about the salon itself! The space is beautiful, the music is always great, and the polish selection is incredible. There are tons of colors to choose from, and they consistently have the newest shades, trending colors, and latest nail trends. If you love keeping up with what's current in the nail world, you'll appreciate how well-stocked they are. It's the kind of place where you can walk in with an idea and leave feeling inspired by all the possibilities. The overall atmosphere makes the experience that much better!

There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for Michelle and her incredible team…read more Like many moms, I love getting my nails done, and my daughter has always looked up to me. She wanted to feel beautiful and feminine just like her mommy. When she was 4 years old before she was diagnosed with severe ADHD I tried taking her to several nail salons. Unfortunately, instead of patience and kindness, we were met with judgment. Because she had a hard time sitting still, people would make faces, seem frustrated, and treat her like she was a burden. As a mom, that was heartbreaking to watch, and I could see it affecting her confidence. Then I found Michelle's salon completely by chance through work, and it truly felt like a blessing from God. From the very first visit, Michelle and the entire team welcomed my daughter with open arms. They were patient, gentle, encouraging, and made the experience fun instead of stressful. They never made her feel like she was "too much." Instead, they made her feel seen, accepted, and beautiful. Today my daughter is 5 years old, has since been diagnosed with severe ADHD, and she still gets excited every time I tell her we're going to see Michelle. She feels comfortable there, confident there, and genuinely loved. As a mother, there is nothing more meaningful than seeing your child embraced for who they are. Michelle and her team don't just do beautiful nails they create a safe, welcoming space where everyone is treated with kindness and dignity. Their compassion has made a lasting impact on both my daughter and me. I will forever be a loyal customer because of the way they've treated my family. Thank you, Michelle, for reminding us that kindness is just as beautiful as the work you create.

But, the whole time talking in Vietnamese, it is so rude. The Pedicure was ok. Paid $130 plus, generous tip to 3 People which I wasn't expecting. Go home, next day go to beach, and ALL my polish chipped, 1 nail chipped, UGH. I had a party to go after, so filed them down since couldn't paint..
