For my bday pedi, my girl friend brought me to her go to spot. Busy Monday inside as all techs were occupied. I was seated immediately though my friend had to wait for the next available tech. Mixed feelings about cleanliness-the displays were meticulously organized and nice to look at, but the arms of the massage chairs were dirty and covered in splats of lotion(?) as well as a serious dust bunny situation behind the chairs. Refreshments were not offered by my tech, but the gentleman working on my friend offered so I jumped in on that since I was pretty parched. Nail work was very good, though for $35 for a basic pedi, I can get more foot and legwork elsewhere for the same price with a little more finesse and care.

I absolutely love MLV! Anytime I come to NOLA I stop here for my nails and/or feet. This time I had service from Thâo, my partner got serviced by Mary, both for manicures. They were amazing and the massage was everything. The vibes is classy, drinks are offered as well. I love it here.

Never been here before but live in the neighborhood and wanted to try. I got a dip with acrylic extensions which is pretty normal of a request, but the extension was not adhered to all of my nails properly, so there's a gap which I imagine I will need to scrub carefully when hand washing. There's a dip in the middle of several nails where the tip was improperly blended in. Overall, not the worst set of tips I have had and the price was reasonable (overall, they are a bit thick for my taste). My friend came with me and her mani was perfect (may just be luck of the draw). Everyone was very polite and we were offered a beverage. One major issue: this place needs better ventilation and air filtration. I left with a headache that has continued to the next day. I can't imagine the headaches the staff must have.

$1 convenience fee for using credit cards

Well I made it in allll the rain, only 3 customer inside, YAY ME!!! Hand sanitizer at the door with a sign on the door that basically stated, 'sanitize your hands when you come in', I can dig it. I managed to find a writing utensil, signed my name on this makeshift sign-in sheet & I was seated with my mask on. It was FINALLY my turn in the chair. Manicure & a toe nail polish change, please and thank you. Lynn, my technician, greeted me and proceeded to work, the convo was lite, she gave me advice on nail care, my cuticles, drinking water, I questioned the dipping technique vs the regular acrylic application; good convo, I thought. Then she pulled out the drill, I'm thinking, this is just a manicure, why is she doing this? I questioned her use of the drill, she reassured me it was just for the cuticles... THENNNNNN SHE SPOKE IN HER NATIVE TONGUE TO THE NEIGHBORING TECHNICIAN, who looked at me, looked at my hands, replied to the conversation & then continued to work on her patron. WELL I'LL BE A MONKEY'S UNCLE!!!! They were talking about me, but didn't want me to know what was being said. I mean, was it good or bad, idk, but there was a discussion about me IN FRONT OF MY FACE, that I wasn't privy to, HOW RUDE!!!! That's POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE & I don't stand for that. Now it was time for the toe nail polish change. I was seated in a salon chair, polish was removed & the new polish was applied. Typical application. The technician who re-polished my toes kept trying to up sell the service I was receiving by recommending a full pedicure, I refused, she completed my service and I was done. As I checked out, I was greeted with a $1 convenience fee for using my credit/debit card... huh???? What the what.. a whole dollar????? Dude, really??? Smh. Needless to say, I won't be returning here: - day two chipped nail polish - poor condition of my cuticles after leaving - $1 convenience fee for using a credit card, really??? - talking about me left me feeling really disrespected To be noted, in spite of this blatant disrespect I received, I still tipped both technicians, but I'll NEVER return and I'll be sure to share my experience with others. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KEY!!!! Oh well, on to the next.

This nail spot was okay. It seems to be hit or miss depending on the crowds of folks that frequents this establishment. I got my feet and hands done gel with french tips. I sensed that once they got busy they really were trying to rush my job but however, maybe because what I wanted took a lot of time to do it was just okay. I had a finger that for some odd reason Bubbled up with a thick overlay. I was so disappointed that i was just trying to get out there. I feel like maybe I went at the wrong time (Friday 5:15pm).

Leaving MLV for the second time and felt compelled to leave a review after a second 5-star experience! These folks are kind and efficient and so good at what they do. I was in and out in ~30 mins for a gel mani and I love how they look :) this will be my go-to spot from now on!

Their professionalism is worth more than 5 stars! After being disappointed and let down by my regular nail shop of over a year i decided to give MLV a try since they are so close to my house and i was more than impressed by their skill and attention to detail and care! They offer complimentary drinks during your service and make sure that you are satisfied and pleased prior to your departure. The Owner is a "no non-sense" woman and runs her business as such. She definitely keeps her shop and her staff in order to keep up here esteemed reputation. I went in on Christmas Eve and they were more than accommodating!!!! Just showed a picture and got exactly what i wanted. I'll definitely be back as a regular!

I love all the nails tech kinda pricey but it's worth every penny there always fast....easy to get in and there always up in the new styles

Haaaaay girl! Today was my first time checking this place out, recommend by a friend. I got a pedicure and a full set. I'm usually not a fan of getting my toes and nails getting done at the same time but I might be a convert, I was out of the salon within an hour with perfect nails. Lynn did my full set and I am one picky girl. Let's just say I will be coming back to her religiously. She did a PHENOMENAL job. I have never been happier with a nail salon experience. I couldn't recommend this place more! Treat yourself!!!

First and foremost, BLACK OWNED!…read more The place is very nice. It's tucked away in a strip off Elysian. It took me a minute to find it the first time I went ha ha. I was actually there to buy a gift card from someone so it got a preview of how they operate. Everyone followed COVID precautions by wearing a mask, wiping down the chairs and switching gloves between clients. While I waited for them to complete my order they seemed to have serviced everyone quickly. I definitely can't wait to try them out for myself!

I won't name names but of the three times I've been to this business, with three different…read moretechnicians, I've never had a good experience. My last visit, however, was the last straw. Here's what happened. I'm using tretinoin so I made an appointment to have my brows shaped using a tweezer, thinking this method would be best. I told the tech I stop using the medication 5 days prior to my appointment. She thanked me for the info so she could proceed with the best method. She then mapped my brows and applied wax. I was taken aback but wrongly thought she was doing the best method for retinoid use. That was a huge mistake. Not only did she butcher me brows, she took some of my skin with them. I'm participating in a documentary and have to be filmed, which is why I wanted my brows done in the first place. Tell me what you think about the results.
