Got my nails done for my daughter's wedding on the Thursday prior to the Saturday wedding. I had scheduled a french tip manicure and was told (first) that my nails were too short for french manicure. Then they proceeded to do the french manicure after finally admitting it could be done and I said yes, can you please try for that look The manicurist kept REALLY pushing gel manicure. I said, no thanks and was told the white tip would "fall off" if I tapped my nail on anything. She continued to try to get me to do gel and eventually a manager (I guess??) came over and said the white would wash off when I showered, so the only thing to do was take all the manicure (polish) off and start again with gel. I said I'm fine with regular polish, so the woman finished my nails and was clearly not happy that I did not choose gel. By the way, my french manicure lasted through 2 showers and were well intact for the wedding. Also had a pedicure and was not asked which package I wanted, just given one of the higher priced ones. Woman doing both manicure & pedicure spoke maybe 2 words to me the entire time. I will never be back. read more

The absolute best salon! The salon is always clean, staff is always so friendly, and nails always come out exactly how I want. VV always puts customer experience first and Kim runs a fantastic business. Whether it comes to pedicures or manicures, the technicians are the best of the best. If you're looking for the friendliest and best quality salon, VV is the place to go! read more

Came here on recommendation from a friend but was somewhat disappointed! They didn't have the OPI color I was hoping for (no OPI dip colors available in general). My nails ended up with white specks everywhere. When I asked the nail tech about it, she said it was "sparkles" but a) the color was not sparkly and b) the specks are not uniform as you would expect if it was part of the color. I'm leaving for vacation this week and so bummed with how they turned out. read more

I have been a client for several years. Great service! Well run business. Rose is awesome!

I don't get my nails very often but a friend recommended this place and I'm glad I went! You can make reservations online and they're constantly busy but huge so they can accommodate it. This was the first place I tried "dip" on my nails vs shellac and it last probably 6 weeks before the grow out was so much that I was worried about it peeling off and ripping my nail! Haha I made an appointment to get it removed and was there a while (not super fast to remove) but they were friendly. I will definitely plan on coming back here as part of my pampering days for mani and pedis! read more

Hey guys. It's been a bit, but I thought I'd make this review on my all time favorite nail salon in Grand Rapids. Genuinely, it is amazing every time. I have had a quite a few nail techs do my nails, but my girl will always be Hannah. Hannah is the sweetest lil' lady and her attention to detail is immaculate. I will be completely done with a set, and she will make sure that my nails are perfect even after I paid. She does mainly simple designs so if you have a simple design in mind or even like a french nail design, she's your girl. The shape is always perfect and they last for weeks. Genuinely have nothing but good things to say about her. The ambience is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. They have free drinks which I love! In my opinion they have the most variety when it comes to nail colors. I always find a beautiful color every time! And the prices are generally affordable all around. Including take off, gel tips, and gel polish or powder, it's around 50 without tip. The set in the picture was supposed to be around 60 or 70, but I had a long wait for my girl and she didn't charge me chrome. I adore her so much. Please, do yourself a favor and go here. It's just as good as everyone has said, if not better. read more

Great service and attention to detail! I have gotten nail art here and impressed. The music selection also is good!

I had a hard time finding the right nail salon in Grand Rapids. I tried several in my neighborhood and ended up unhappy. I made an appointment at v v nails and when I arrived it was busy, so glad that I did! My nails turned out terrific, lots of color options and really lovely staff. I'll be back! read more

I treated my daughters to pedicures and although their nails turned out great, the soaking experience wasn't so great because the water was too cold for them. The location was convenient and the staff and technicians were very nice. read more

It doesn't matter if you make an appointment, there's always a significant wait. Some of the girls are a bit rough, left bleeding and wasn't really offered much of a discount. Theres one person there that does an amazing job and was worth the drive for, but after that experience I will continue my search of a nail salon after the open wounds heal. read more

I understand that it being February 8th and without appointment there's going to be some wait. Nonetheless I waited 35 mins after being on the waitlist which is fine bc I knew that but then I get sat down she put the foils on my nails and left me sitting on the chair for an hour and a half. Didn't even ask me if I wanted water. And yet has the audacity to tell the nail tech next to her why she didn't do them herself then she's was so unprofessional. read more

I have been here multiple times for pedicures. Like so many times that I've filled up some punch cards Their recent renovations are beautiful and there are plenty of pedicure chairs and nail tables. You can make same day appointments or book in advanced. They are always more busy in the afternoon and the downside is that often you may have to wait for your appointment even if you have a set time so do plan ahead to give yourself extra time. The ladies wear name tags and I've had several different techs do my pedicures and have always been satisfied. There are plenty of colors to choose from. They have always honored my requests for how to cut my nails or to use my own brought in lotion. Their foot massage is amazing! Currently the basic pedicure is $34 with credit card or $32 if you pay with cash. Tipping is by cash or Venmo only. The salon is clean and they use disposable liners for the foot basin, use new tools each time, wear gloves. So overall, 5 stars for coming in the morning, 4 stars for having to wait during afternoon appointments. read more

Do not go here unless you want the worst manicure of your life! I have been going to VV nails for the last 3 years and have recommended them to countless friends. After my most recent experience, I will never be returning here. I went in for gel-x removal and a basic manicure. My nail tech, Kayla, was rude, unprofessional and as you can see in the attached photo, gave me the worst manicure I've ever gotten from a salon. We had discussed the color I wanted, OPI's Bubblebath, which I did not get for some reason despite stating that was the color I wanted 3 separate times. Halfway through the service, she got up and walked over to another nail tech, and proceeds to talk about me in front of me while staring at me. It was absolutely unacceptable and made me feel so uncomfortable as I've done nothing to warrant that and have been polite despite her giving me 1 star service from the moment I walked in. After my nails were "painted", Kayla walks me over to the dryer where I proceed to sit for about 20 minutes without her once coming to check on them. Finally after me staring at her, she walks over and checks my nails and says they're still not dry. I continue to sit there abandoned at this drying station for another 20 minutes. I finally ask the receptionist if she can check if my nails are dry. She checks them over and says that they're dry. I was getting a pedicure next so I head over to the chair just to look down at my nails 5 minutes later to see they're smudged and WERE NOT DRY. Absolutely ridiculous. As you can see in the photo, they are smudged, cracking, and look so sloppy. That photo was taken about 2 hours after leaving. They chipped immediately and were smudged and cracking. Even worse, on my drive home I lightly touch my nails just to see they are STILL NOT DRY. I was at the salon for over 2 hours, and my nails NEVER DRIED. I literally left there with wet nails. I ended up removing all the polish later that evening. The fact that VV nails, allowed me to walk out of there with nails looking like that was unprofessional and disrespectful of my time and money not to mention my NAILS NEVER DRIED DOWN. I was there for hours and still left with wet nails which was bizarre. I've never had such a bad experience at a salon and should NOT have had to pay for that service. I have been a repeat customer for several years now and have brought them business from my recommendations to friends and family. I'm sad that I will have to find a new salon as I used to love coming here but they've gone really downhill in the last year. Oh, and the other reviews are right about the online appointments. Don't bother making one, because you will still sit and wait for 30 + minutes while they continue to accept walk ins and get them in quicker than the people who made an appointment ahead of time. read more

This is one of the best nail salons, if not the best, in GR. I have been to many of the techs for dip manicures and they are all fantastic, making sure I leave with a good manicure that lasts for weeks. Kim, the owner, always checks in to make sure every customer leaves happy. The salon is very clean and newly renovated and every customer feels so welcome. Plus they have online booking which is very convenient. read more

Came here as a walk in for 1 kid Mani pedi, a polish, and an adult Mani Pedi with dip on the Mani. I was initially greeted warmly and even though the place was busy there was hardly a wait at all to get going. This place has a nice upscale vibe to it and I feel I paid appropriately for the services I and my kids received. I appreciate that all of their nail services by default include at least some form of cuticle care and that it's not an additional charge. I will be interested to see how long the dip lasts that I had done. Typically mine lasts maybe 2 weeks, but my tech said hers usually last 3-4 weeks on her clients. I'm skeptical since I use my hands a lot and wash them frequently, but hoping it's true! I only have two complaints. The water in our pedi tubs was extremely hot. Like almost scalding. It was difficult to adjust the temperature down, the taps were either burn your skin off hot or cool. The other gripe is about tipping. If you pay by card you cannot add a tip to it. You must tip in cash or Venmo your tip to your tech. I just wasn't prepared for that, so make sure you get some cash to tip with at least before you go. read more

V V Nails and Spa - 1 day post service: dip and basic Mani. I soaked in water ~1h so my cuticles are rough. They looked better yesterday! - Nail Salons Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We had great manicures and pedicures during our visit. My husband had the standard mani-pedi and I opted for some add on's with shellac polish for my toes and dip for my fingers. This was a first time for me trying dip and it's not bad. It's a little thicker than shellac and so my nails look wider than they really are. But it's not as heavy as acrylic, which I do not like at all. The colors are supposed to match each other, but they are not quite the same. Close enough though, I doubt anyone but me will notice! The salon was clean, the people were friendly, and the prices were good. read more

I enjoyed my experience here! I was able to schedule an appointment online. They were friendly and got me in right away. I got a shellac manicure and it took about 40 minutes, which was very efficient (they worked fast while being careful and doing a good job). My manicure was $34 before tip, which was very reasonable. Will be returning. :) read more

Best place to get your nails done! Always leave happy :) relaxing pedicure and great acrylics

I've been going to VV for 2 years now, and I can confidently say that they are the best! I've had my hands and feet done by multiple people and all of them are excellent, but Ashley is my go-to! She takes her time and makes sure that every nail is perfect! Plus her nail designs are AWESOME. Their recent renovation/expansion is beautiful and was much needed as they're so busy! The only thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to book an appointment to guarantee you can get in, and even if you have an appt you will likely have to wait a bit. My only negative comment is that because they're so busy, they tend to run a bit behind schedule, especially in the afternoon. For me, that's an easy sacrifice due to their top-notch quality and reasonable pricing! read more

Made an appointment to get my nails done during my lunch break. Appt was for 2:15p, I wasn't in the chair until 2:30-2:45p. Rose seemed upset because I was upset but please make that make sense. Because how are you upset that you're wasting my time. Completed my nails hastily, they didn't even last a week because she didn't paint close enough to my cuticles. Had to get them done again while OOT. Said ok let's give it one more try and thought let me try dip since she said it'll last longer. She removes my shellac and I'm expecting a manicure because who wants nice nails with the skin around it looking crusty. I will say the nail tech I went to OOT did a great job with my cuticles. When she tells me it's an extra charge I said just do shellac. Causing her to have another attitude because shellac is more time consuming than dip is what I'm figuring. But I'm like in my head who cares because I'm paying for a service. She cut my cuticles but the paint job was fantastic. So I come back again, get another paint job. One nail breaks and I come back. She has a the nastiest attitude again and even makes a joke with the business owner. Needless to say I'll never come back here because Rose is not professional at all and I won't be giving my money to someone who can't even be kind to the person who pays her wages. Plus she's always cutting into my cuticles. If I were you I wouldn't waste your time or money. Also never offered a coupon card once. And I've seen the owner give out many. read more

What is the point of making an appt when they always make you wait I've never gotten right in

I went in for a full set and I've had previous full set here that were perfect, a woman named Lindsay did my nails, but Rush them bc I was her last client, she improperly sized my thumb and failed to let the polish cure so within 24 hours of being home two different nails the polish rubbed off. I do recommend this place, but I don't recommend Lindsay under any circumstances. I did go back and try to get my pointer finger fixed but they would only allow her to fix it, and I tried to call back when the second nail happened but their phone number is incorrect and not connected. Overall, my nail tech was the problem but the salon didn't do anything to fix it. read more

Terrible job. Asked for a simple sheer pink long almond and was given short stubby candy pink nails. they are ski sloped and shaped terribly. multiple people worked on my nails and i even asked them to redo a hand because it was so bad and it came out exactly the same. never had worse nails in my life and will not be returning. read more

Fantastic salon! Someone responded to my message via Yelp really quickly (within about 15 minutes), which was super convenient! I was able to make my appointment right through Yelp! The woman who took off my dip (I did it myself and it was pretty horrible) was gentle with the drill and asked me repeatedly if I was comfortable, which was nice. The woman who did my shellac did a fantastic job too! They didn't try to give me anything I didn't ask for. All around great service! They have so many gel and shellac colors to choose from-it's unlikely they won't have the color you want! read more

Update- I noticed this particular business had been a large supporter of our elementary school's PTO. After thinking about it carefully, I am updating my review. The owners quick response and eagerness to address my issue, coupled with their involvement in our local community, definitely made me see why this is a local favorite. At the end of the day, sometimes people make mistakes. How they choose to address those can be extremely telling of the businesses' underlying values and commitment to quality. Small businesses can have thin margins, and I really respect them investing in their local schools. Excited to give this place another try soon! read more

I love this place but will not be back after a bad experience yesterday. I had a pedicure appointment and had to wait 40 minutes. I realize places are busy and take walk ins, but why have appointments then? When the nail tech, Lindsey, finally came over, the vibe was off from the second she sat down. I tried to make small talk but she wasn't having it, and she was shoving my feet into and out of the water. It wasn't relaxing at all and I've never had such a rough pedicure. I ended up not getting my nails done out of respect for their closing time although I'd had that included in my scheduled appointment. I used to drive from Grandville to patron VV, but will not be back if that is their new standard of service, unfortunately. read more

I was out of town visiting this area and in need of a nail appointment asap. The great thing about this place is you can book online. Once I got there I was actually able to add on a service without any problem as well since they have about 12+ technicians. I got my old dip taken off and new dip applied along with a hot stone pedi. My service was great. The shop is clean, up to date, good massage chairs, cute lighting and you can't ask for a better color selection. Ask for Christine! She was friendly and knew just what style of nail I was aiming for! Christine gave me a relaxing pedicure and then took me right over to give me a ombré mani that I love. It's rare to get a tech that's great at both skills IMO so definitely check this shop out! read more

If they are going to accept online appointments for basic manicures with regular polish ALL employees should be willing to do them. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment, was quickly seated, and a staff person came over. Once they learned I was only doing basics, they offered me other services. I said, "No thank you, not today". They proceeded to get up and try to find another staff person; then moved me to an occupied station telling the staff person there they had to do my nails (to which they responded no - and in my eyes I would have to wait for them to be done??). Then they called out to two other staff people (the place had several clients around watching/listening) asking them to do my nails - who just stared in response. The front desk girl began to review a "scheduling" board (to find a staff person?) all while I stood there feeling astonished at the lack of professionalism. Shameful! I walked out feeling less than important to this business. Lost are future manis, pedis, etc from myself, my co workers, and extended family. *walked in to a differing salon on my way home who gladly and cheerfully gave me my mani. I'll be writing their review next. read more

clean friendly and easy. they also have dazzle dry which great! making appts online is a breeze too.
