i realized they stole a picture of my nails that i got done at LA nails in New Orleans east on crowder and when i addressed it on their Instagram page they took my comment down but not my pictures. How many other nail post have you all stolen from other nail techs??? would never come to this location simply because of the deception
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.
I absolutely love this nail shop & they give free drinks ! the vibe is awesome and if you go frequently they give discounts lowkey
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.
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!
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!!!
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

DO NOT GO TO MLV NAILS ON BAYOU- they claimed to be the same company as the one of Rousseau. They are not the same company. The lied about prices and everything. I asked for a nude nail with an outline of french tip. They did no cuticle care, my nail tip was not attached to my actual hair and there was gap between by nail and the acrylic. There was nail glue left everywhere around my nails and when I explained the issues and that had told me my nails would be 45 and then charged my card for 70 they yelled and told us that that's what they do. so if you want crappy nails that aren't attached, crooked nails, crappy service, glue left everywhere, and no cuticle care that's what you can expect from them. read more

I came to the shop because of their reviews on yelp. Seems like they do a pretty good job. But the lady who did my nails really messed up my shape. I know I got a refill and it's probably kinda hard to follow behind someone else's work. I told her these were my real nails so can she can pay more attention. She tried her best I guess. Don't like the shape but love polishing. (From another employee). I'll go again but I would rather someone do my nails. I'm giving them a 4 because the polishing was nice. read more

I was flying out to New York and needed to get my nails done the day before my flight but my usual nail salon had grown plain so after searching for a reputable salon I found MLV and looked at their Instagram and decided to try it out. I was not disappointed! We came in 10-15 minutes before closing but they said they could still take us and while we did have to wait for around 20-30 minutes, it was worth it. Judy was kind and listened to what I wanted. When I showed her the pictures she knew exactly what to do, they even had more colors than what I was looking for! She also offered us beverages and had a thoughtful conversation with us which is unusual for me since I don't talk much when I'm getting my nails done. I also got an eyebrow and upper lip waxing and I love my eyebrows! She accommodated me when I wanted to give up and made sure I didn't have to feel more pain than needed. This was by far my best experience at a nail salon and I look forward to coming back soon. read more

I was visiting for the Beyonce concert this past week and didn't have time to get my nails done before I arrived to Nola. My air bnb was luckily right down the street from this place and was surprised by the great yelp reviews. This place is definitely better than my nail salon back home. Emma did a wonderful job on my glow in the dark nails and my pedicure ! The shop itself isn't the most up to date but they get the job done and do it well. Highly recommend, especially as an out of towner looking for a shop that is up to date on the newest nail trends. read more

I got a basic full set done, they make the coffin shape look great, but I got regular polish and it ended up smearing twice before I left the shop. The first time the guy fixed it but I notice a 1dollar extra charge for the nail repaint on the bill. Also I wanted to get eyebrow threading done but when after asking for threading I got in the chair and saw that the lady was preparing wax. I asked her about threading but she said i'd have to come back another day. read more

Words cannot begin to describe how good this nail shop is. I love the work done. I have naturally long and strong nails. I specifically asked for no hard drilling to not damage my nails and the gentleman listened. I had my nails dipped in powder and ended with a gel finish. Besides the natural growth, my nails have not chipped and the color is as if it was done yesterday. It's been almost 3 weeks. I week before I had the same work done on the north shore and by the end of the week my thumb nail was all chipped up and had to hide it by polishing it with a similar color till I went to MLV. I'm going to be a customer for life! read more

Not sure how i feel. Its not terrible, but its also not good. I paid 22 for this gel manicure. The pictures on yelp looked so good so i thought i'd give it a try. I personally found this salon to be a "last resort"kimd of place, you can get better. I also got a pedicure and the water was burning hot and their chairs arent the most comfy. Their prices are standard. Im just not satisfied. read more

This was my 1st time here today. I got acrylic nails soak off, a manicure, and gel polish. I had only had acrylic nails for about 2 weeks. I am not used to them and had to get them off the first chance I get. I am a gel polish person! My regular nail salon was not open on a Sunday but this place was and the guy who did my nails was nice, kind, and funny. He did not damage my original nail by taking off the acrylic, which is appreciated. Also my Gel looks amazing. I think I may have found a new place to go if ever needed. Will definitely return. Reasonable prices too!! read more

If you want your nails done correctly, this is the place to go. Excellent attention to detail, not rushed, and executed perfectly. I am picky with my nails and just left this place completely satisfied. Also, had my eyebrows waxed to perfection. So happy I gave this place a try. Everyone there was very nice and accommodating. I'm unsure of the name of my tech, but he was a very sweet man and a young woman waxed my brows. Both were great. read more

Excellent service! My cousin and I were visiting and on a lazy Sunday decided to go pamper ourselves. I searched Google and Yelp to locate a shop that was open, nearby and had good reviews. I found MLV Nail Studio. The shop was clean and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was friendly and in spite of a nasty mannered customer they remained polite and once the person was politely asked to leave the experience returned to fantastic. Emma was lovely and handled a difficult customer with class and finesse like an artist. I will definitely return on future visits home to New Orleans. I would highly recommend this shop. Both my cousin and I left highly satisfied. read more

I'm from Alabama, and was in New Orleans for Halloween. I came here to get my pedicure, and a set of acrylic nails for my daughters wedding. I took a chance because the YELP review customer pictures looked great. I was not disappointed! I'm extremely hard to please when it comes to my nails. It's a big deal if I say I'm happy with the quality of their work.....and my nails turned out perfect. 20 yrs of wearing acrylic nails and this is the best set I've ever had. I go to New Orleans a lot and they just got a new client. read more

After some Yelp searching, I ran across the great reviews to this place that is super close to my house! I called ahead to see how busy they were, Emma took my name and called me back to tell me that they had slowed down. These ladies are awesome guys, very attentive to your needs. Everyone was so nice! My pedi experience with Lily was amazing. Great convo and full useful info! Now for my eyebrows...I don't trust my eyebrows with everyone. She was so so so great and my eyebrows look so wonderful! I have found my new eyebrow & pedi place guys!! read more

I had read all the good reviews for this place and I had to try it! I had made an appointment to be with Julie and I'm pretty sure Julie did not do my nails as I had a male technician. I had shown him a picture of regular acrylic nails with a couple pieces of butterfly glitter on each nail. As he finished my 7th nail, a woman came up to us and informed me that the price of my nails would be 80 dollars. I was very very surprised. The reason they said they were that much was because they were using clear acrylic, even though I did not ask for that, and he told me he would just be using acrylic. I can't tell the difference between the two acrylics as they look almost the same when applying. The two techs then started being very rude to me and asked if they wanted to take them off, which i declined since he was almost done. I ended up negotiating to 65 dollars since my tech never once told me the price before starting my nails, when I expected them to be 35 at the most. He also rushed the nails and the shaping of each nail is different and the clear nails are full of my nail shavings and debris and look almost dirty. The only reason I'm not giving one star is because i like how sharp the nails are and the place is clean. Definitely not coming back here. UPDATE: after about a week and a half all the nails started popping off and taking off all of my real nail, don't waste your money, you can get your nails done better literally everywhere else read more
