I recently moved to the area and went to Nail 7 to get gel powder (ANC). When I arrived, I had get…read morepowder on my nails from 2 weeks prior, when I had my nails done at my former salon in a different city. The nail tech here started using the electric nail filer (nail drill) on my nails to get the polish off, but I explained that my nails are super sensitive to the heat that comes off those machines, so I prefer to have my nails wrapped in tin foil and nail polish remover to get the polish off. She said that the electric filer, was the only way to get the polish off, that there was no other way to do it, to which I explained, "I undersand it's your preference to use the nail drill because it's faster, but it's not the only way. I've had my nails done with gel powder for nearly 5 years and you can wrap my nails in polish remover." She argued with me again and said there was no other way to do it. I decided to let her use the drill since I was already there and needed my nails done for an upcoming event and within minutes, was pulling my hand away in reaction to the heat--I explained again that I wished my nails weren't so sensitive to the heat, but that they are. She then spoke with her coworkers in a different language, and she insisted again that there was no other way, and I repeated myself that there was another option and didn't understand why they wouldn't just wrap my nails in polish remover. Stubborn and argumentative, I ended up leaving with a half done set of nails. Seems this salon doesn't understand the concept of supporting the customer's needs. I won't be back.

I was able to walk in for the gel polish change, but I wish I had walked out before starting the service. After sitting down, I quickly realized that the cleanliness of this salon was not great. There was polish/nail "dust" everywhere, the tools being used were obviously worn, and the nail tech would rest the tools on her phone screen between uses. At one point, she used the brush with polish remover to clean old polish stains off the table, then used the same brush on my nail immediately after. The nail tech was very nice, but she seemed to not understand what shape I was asking for or my responses to any of her questions. Although the staff was friendly and the price was reasonable, I would not return. The final outcome left much to be desired with uneven and streaky application and the incorrect shape. I'm disappointed that I'll likely need to go home and have this set re-done.

However, it's a bit of a snooze fest - I'm stuck playing with my phone for 30 minutes, which isn't really my thing. They don't really converse with you. I started coming here a few weeks ago after my old salon took a decline in sanitation. Anyway, the $30 gel manicure turn out to be $37, and when I asked about gratuity, I got a big fat maybe - first they said yes, then no, and only cash tips are accepted, allegedly.

I was pleasantly surprised as they said they could fit me in. This was my first time coming to this salon and really enjoyed my time there. Didn't know it at the time, but the owner began my nails for me, which I very much appreciated. Vivi was very attending and I loved that she had no issue jumping into help her employees. When I had a question about the bill, she happily explained it to me as I was confused on the gel color charge. My normal nail salon has this incorporated in their pricing. It made sense once explained. UV Gel full set $60 Stiletto shape $5 Gel color $15 = $80 Will definitely be back again - had a great experience.

The inside of the nail spa is bright and clean. One wall is lined massage chairs with foot baths, the other side is lined with nail stations. They offer a variety of services at affordable prices. You can call ahead to make an appointment or reserve some chairs together if you have a group. They are good for birthdays, mother's day, valentine's day, anniversaries, getting ready for a bug event like a wedding or just in need of some self care. They are great for both men and women alike. I find it nice treat myself to a pedicure twice a year. They massage my calves, feet, exfoliate my skin, scrub off calloused skin, and make my look and feet feel great. This was my fifth visit to Vivi Nails and I should have reviewed them sooner!

Abby was my stylist and carefully listened to what I wanted and I showed her pictures of my own hair when I've liked how it's been done before. I really struggle with finding a place where I like the cut and any color I've gotten so I was nervous. Abby really delivered on giving me a super natural looking color with some dimension from the highlights in a warm blonde/copper. The placement of the highlights was perfect and it didn't look striped or unnatural. Just blended and very pretty whether I wore my hair curly or straightened it. I paid for my second visit a few months later. I got a cut/trim and had it re-toned with a bit more copper/light brown. My hair looked and felt great! The color from last time had grown/faded so nicely. The cut didn't take too much length but got rid of the split ends so my hair actually grew in a noticeable way. My mom is going to switch to this salon instead of her regular place because of how nice my hair has looked, the results of other customer's that she saw in the salon, and the atmosphere. I can't believe this place doesn't have a lot of reviews but they have only been open a year. If you are looking for a modern but relaxed salon with a variety of different stylists to choose from, I'd highly recommend you try it here. I'm so so picky about my hair to the point where I'd rather go a year without getting it cut or colored vs getting it done somewhere I'm not too sure about. (Yes this has happened). I've had some really unpleasant salon experiences in this area. Salon 1533 is unlike any other salon I've been to. They use a variety of quality brands of hair products, have knowledgeable stylists that actually listen, and this allows you to actually relax.
