Love this Gel coloe 'cynical'
Lynn W.

Had to fill you in on my latest adventure. Decided to step outside of the box and visit Vive. Loves the space and nail selections. Very progressive environment. Love gel manicures, Yvonne (the owner) provided me with a top notch mani. Seperate room for acrylyic nails is always nice. I do not like the smell. I am not sure about the pedicure layout, might go back to try one. I really like my gel nails. They are oh so fab.

Gel mani
Paige J.

When you move to a new city and basically have to start over from scratch, it's not always easy as a woman finding the right people to do your eyebrows, hair, nails, etc. So needless to say it's been a process trying to find a nail salon that I like. I first went to Vive almost a year ago and was pleased, but quickly forgot about it. A couple of months later my husband and I were looking for a place to get our manis/pedis and instantly I remembered this place. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in you'll find a clean inviting salon with techs instantly there to welcome you. With a nice selection of colors to choose from, Vive doesn't disappoint. Compared to a lot of other salons I've been to, Vive is up there with the quality, but with far lower prices. I've been about five times now and have yet to be disappointed. They use liners for their bowls when you get a pedicure which is another plus. I definitely recommend them if your looking for a good pedi and gel mani. I never feel rushed yet I don't spend two hours there either. Give them a try. *Also good to know, if you pay for your services with cash, you get a small discount.

Here's the scabs healing from the buffing.

Sorry to say the new owner And workers are not living up to the previous owner. My gel nails would last at least 2 weeks, on Sunday I had my nails done. By Tuesday, my nails started to peel, down to only four nails with polish still on. On top of the polish coming off so quickly, they cut the quicks on four of my nails as they were buffing. I tried to call the owner, I'm out of town, but she was not available. I'm sure they will get their act together but I can't waste my time or money until they do.

OPI Don't Bossanova Me Around

Been here a few times now and the thing that keeps me coming back is the disposable foot rub liners and one-time use pumice stones! Seriously, if I never have to soak my tootsies in someone else's toe cheese water left over from the previous soak, I'm good with that! They also open new auto laced instruments for your mani or pedi! However, for all their cleanliness, there is only one nail scrub brush just sitting by the sink in the bathroom, no soak in disinfectant, no one-time use brush... Who knows when that gets cleaned? So minus one star. I had a gel mani ($30) and a pedi done ($28), pretty standard pricing. Happy with the work and friendly service! Will definitely be back again!

Love this little Gem of a nail salon I found first time I've had the dip. Wow so cool , no smell and feels like super strong nail.

Lin did a great job, the place had a calm atmosphere and was super clean. I got the basic manicure which was affordable and still looks good. Eager to see how long it holds up for

Danielle, the owner, is an extremely talented esthetician who is friendly, welcoming, and has a magical touch. I love this place so much that every time I've visited New Orleans since moving away, booking a facial with Danielle is the first thing I do after purchasing my flights. The business itself is located on Freret where parking is ample on the main or side streets during most hours. The business is clean, with refreshments offered immediately upon walking in. Personally, I have only received facials but I know from first hand testimony by friends that their massages are just as incredible. The facials are accompanied by a full suite of Yonka products which are deliciously fragrant but gentle on the skin. Danielle is great at finding the perfect combination to make your skin looking the best it ever has by the time your treatment is over. I love this place so much I hand out business cards to anyone who compliments my skin when I'm in town. You absolutely will not regret giving this place a try.

Any time the list of "fees" for their perceived appointment violations is arms-length long ... go somewhere else. 2. I phoned in my appointment and then she wanted to negotiate with me to get my credit card; no way. My appointment was 15 minutes later; I told her I would pay when I arrived ... in 15 minutes. 3. I went to fill out the pre-service form for a wax but it wouldn't upload without my drivers license uploaded - not interested. 4. She said the only way I could bi-pass the uploaded ID requirement was to pay in cash. I said no. 5. She said I was cancelling the appointment then, so I did. 6. Now I noticed that they removed my review from last year; the one where I complained about them wanting you to leave a tip for the front desk employee. I'm sure the wax itself is fine; it was last year. I presume they have a lot of employee turnover as the Aesthetician saw her tip walk away when I walked out the door. Silly policies.

This spa is on the 8th floor of a vintage building on the Touro Infirmary campus. Parking was on the street. The elevator was to the right as you walk in the door and you go to the top floor. The spa is entire floor and ring the bell to have someone let you in from the elevator lobby. I think this is the 3rd location of this business. Glad they are in my area and that I found them! Booking is online. And was easy but with an extensive questionnaire. The products used are for sale and Jalyn let me know what she used but did not give me a hard sell. My skin is glowing and I will definitely be back.

The customer service needs a serious overhaul. I found this establishment on Yelp and choose to…read moregive the place a try. My appointment was scheduled a day before and no specific instructions regarding location or parking was given. Then at 1:00am the morning of the appt I received a confirmation text. (What an ideal time). On the day of the appt, my grandmother and I arrive and there are no signs or anything signaling a 1st time customer they are located in a plaza which clearly you cannot see from the street. A nice lady come to greet us but then I had to find parking. It was soooo HOT!! By the time I arrived in the building I had to freshen up in the bathroom. On the way walking toward the building there is A man with a dog tied to the bench in the breezeway just barking at everyone as they pass. What a scene on the way to serenity. Once I entered the building my 1st service was waiting on me. No paperwork was completed as a 1st time customer and was asked by the person doing the massage what areas I needed done. She was very pleasant and could tell I was FURIOUS with the process. She kept apologizing. THE MASSAGE WAS AMAZING!!!! I would recommend her but I am not toooooo fond of the place. Then the FACIAL!!' Absolutely horrible. I sat in a chair where the lady explained what she would be using. No time was my skin discussed. I clearly was not looking for a simple facial but because I set appointment day before I was not able to really understand what is entailed in each facial. Then the facial begins. When it was over no discussion of my skin and was. Told we will see you up front. Massage 1 hour and facial 30 minutes. Well my grandmother had a manicure. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY SHE WAS STILL DRYING AFTER 1.5hrs. After I paid and added $22.00 tip the cashier (same person who did my facial) says before I can even leave she left $22.00. WOW!!! Are you serious? No one even offered the products in the lobby for sale. After my facial my face was soooo dry it was ridiculous. I was not even asked what type of skin do I have. No type of data sheet done. After leaving there are a group of people sitting on a stump cussing, and arguing in the corridor patio area I was like I just spent $200.00 for this. I will never again. I would not even recommend this place to anyone
