    The lines are not perfect

    The staff are kind.. Unfortunately I don't like the outcome, maybe because I chose the pink (which I was having a hard time to find a light pink) they didn't help navigate the correct tone for the French tip I wanted. I wanted something classy and this looks childlike. (The guy that was doing my nails spoke very little English so I couldn't really tell him about it)

    Great service. Great attention to detail and great customer service. I got a gel manicure and a pedicure and I loved everything!

    Love my sky blue nails !

    Love love love varsity nails have been coming here for years and refuse to go to anyone else . There's no where else I refer my friends or family members. My nails always get compliments and they really cater to your every need . They really are an amazing business !

    Just recently was sold to a new owner, which it needed. The new owner has painted and done some great changes. Has a new look!! They still offer a complimentary bottle of water and my gel nails came out great!!!!!! My biggest pet peeve with all nail places is make sure when there is time to lean there is time to clean. Nail sections should never look dusty. Equipment should be santized after every guest. As long as the new manager keeps this going it will do great. Service was great, and it was more inexpensive than any other place.

    I have been going to Tom and Hannah here for years! They are the absolute best, I highly recommend you check them out. They have so many colors to choose from, and do exactly what I ask for every time. I never go anywhere else. Hannah does amazing hand painted designs if you are looking for someone. They renovated inside recently, and it is super clean. You will not be disappointed! They are reasonably priced for the quality you get! They punch cards to get signed every time to earn $5 off after five visits. Definitely check them out if you are in the UCF and Orlando area.

    I've been going here for a few months now and have always gotten pretty good service. IF I go back I WILL NOT be using the male who works here. He told me in order to do ombré on my nails it would have to be dip powder and it would be $116. I hate being lied to, I see nail technicians do ombré with regular polish and sponges all the time. You cannot have all them years of experience and tell me you can't put polish on a sponge and dab it on a nail. If I was keeping the nail design more then 2 days then I'd have no problem paying that much. He then told me $20 more for using my own nail decals that I brought in. They are stickers and he was acting like he was using some special glue to apply them then I asked if it was something special, he said no it was water. He stopped before painting my nails to service the lady who would be after me in his chair then came back to paint my nails. He didn't push any of my cuticles back so it looks like a 5 year old painted my nails. After rushing to add the decals in which he clearly had an attitude about, he slapped the top coat on and moved me right out of his chair to proceed on with the next lady who was obviously going to spend more. I got regular nail polish, not even gel and my total was $60.00. As many times as I have come here and spent well over $100, if he couldn't deal with the one time I was going cheaper then he doesn't deserve my money again.

    The staff was so friendly and Jennifer my nail technician did such a great job fixing, and shaping my nails. The price was so much cheaper than what I was used to paying and they did a better job! See you ladies in two weeks

    Been going to Varsity Nails for about 3 years now. Friendly atmosphere and the service is SUPERB! The deals are AMAZING And my nail tech is the only person I can trust with my eyebrows. No matter when I come there is always an amazing movie playing on Netflix. It's like a home away from home. Highly recommended

    Would give 0 stars if I could. I had a friend who got her lashes done here and so I came to have Kim do a lash set. The second I was in the room she put literal duct tape on my lower lash line so she could put on lashes and it was literally poking in my eye. The whole time she was putting on the lashes my right eye was watering and what's worse, she got GLUE in my eye. She goes to take the duct tape off and it won't come off because she glued it to my lashes, she had to get gel remover to take it off and I could feel my lashes literally ripping. When she took the duct tape off I felt lashes on my lower lash line rip off and I saw my lashes attached to the duct tape, she denied she ripped them and claimed they must be the extensions but those were MY lashes she ripped off and I can see the spots on my lash line where she ripped them off with duct tape. The extensions were also falling off, they look uneven and A MESS with patches. My entire right eye is red and swollen and now I'm at the Urgent Care to get my eye looked a because it's hard to even open it. I had to unattach lashes from my lower lashline that were stuck to my extensions. Kim gave me gel remover to take them off but the fact she even let me walk out the door looking like that and had me pay her, I saw her fellow employees cringing on how bad it looked. I'm coming in tomorrow morning for a refund or at least a fix for the patchiness. They look like a mess and it was my first time getting lash extensions, this woman was playing me and she knew it too. Now I need an eyelash serum to grow these lashes back I've lost, don't get lash extensions done by Kim. If she refunds me like she should or fixes my lashes maybe I'll take this post off. But take these pictures as a warning of what you could be getting yourself into, I don't think she's licensed for this and a lot of people starting out could even do a better job than this.

    The best nail salon in Orlando! I've been going here for 4-5 years and do not have a single regret. The prices are reasonable and the quality of work is phenomenal. I personally recommend Jenny if you are someone who likes fun designs but she is also really good at doing basic nails. They are very clean and sanitary. I also go here for my eyebrows and each experience has been a good one. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a go to nail salon.

    Up until a week ago I had visited the salon for mani/pedis which were always enjoyable. After a…read morebreak on fake nails for a couple of years, I decided I was ready to get nails once again. I arrived with no appointment, but i had called about 15 minutes prior to my arrival. I sat at the first table on the left side of the room (not next to the wall) with a mature technician. I showed her a picture of what i was wanting, more rounded coffin/oval shaped, and ombre natural to allow longer wear before a fill is required. I identified that I previously wore GelX, but was open to other options, but didn't want acrylic. She mentioned a couple of options, but she was difficult to understand. She understood my desire for ombre - i asked if she could do what i wanted and she said a very clear 'yes'. She started and asked a couple of questions of natural color preferences - i said that I would rely on her since i wasn't that picky. She started and was only the 3rd or so nail and a gentleman stopped by and was watching what she was doing and questioning what i was wanting. I explained i used to wear GelX but was open, but didn't want acrylic. He responded with "we do GelX. . . you do realize that's acrylic" - i didn't, but at this point i felt it was too late. I believe he was the one of the owners. She continued to do my nails and I became very concerned as i saw the fairly wide gap between the start of the acrylic and my cuticle. While I may be picky at times, the woman next to her was standing up and watching her work and chatting with her. Others stopped by to watch, including the same gentleman and a couple of other techs and I believe one of them was another owner. They all watched and never showed concern or spoke/questioned my Nail Tech. All i kept thinking was maybe there are different steps and once she continues my areas of concerns may be taken care of. Unfortunately, the product only got worse as she continued. Why didn't i complain? 1) I had already spent a good 1.5 hours in the chair and couldn't afford to waste any more time and 2) co-workers/owners watched throughout the entire time and didn't have any concerns with the quality of work at any time so I didn't expect anything to be different at the end. I've been in this situation with a quality concern quite a while ago and co-workers/owners stopped the work on their own and directed correction. Unfortunately, this didn't happen and I had to learn an expensive lesson. Not even a week later one of the nails broke off and I went to another nail salon which stated they needed to be fully removed as they were done wrong and were very much already lifting away from the nail bed. With all of this, I wouldn't have an issue with a mani/pedi at this salon but will not return for fake nails.

This week was first time back in a while, and I just went with the first available stylist because Bryan was out of town. I got medium-length gel x with chrome powder and no design, the same on all nails. I was expecting some sort of prep or manicuring of my cuticles and nails, as my nails were ineven lengths and I had lots of hangnails and excess skin from picking (which is the reason I was getting my nails done in the first place, it is impossible to pick skin with thick/dull extensions!) The only prep was sanding down the top layer of nails, which did help some with the excess skin near the cuticle When I left, I noticed many of my cuticles were flooded with gel, some of the side walls weren't painted, and the nail shape was generally what I asked for, but every nail looks a little different from the others. I really love the color I went with, and the technician was very kind and accommodating to my preferences, so I paid with tip and left, as I didn't feel like it was worth making a fuss about. I went home and trimmed what I could of the flooded gel myself with cuticle nippers Now, 2 days later, nearly all of my nails have the gel polish chipping off the gel x apres tip, and there is visible lifting on more than a few of the sidewalls due to the gel flooding :(. There are visible bubble shapes in the top coat, and you can easily see the black polish under the chrome due to the chipping. I am only in town for a short while and likely will not have the chance to go back and fix it. They still look beautiful from others' perspective, but for $80+ I would hope the same is true close up. I know I could likely go back in to have them fix it, but I am concerned with the health of my nail beds, and one visit to the salon alone involves enough sanding and buffing of the nail that I am not sure if it will be worth it. Overall, I did have a lovely time while I was there: nice music, salt scrub, and the tech was very gentle with my hands. The result was not what I had experienced in the past, though. I would have to really want it and have a very detail-oriented technician to consider another visit in the future.

A little sad when I say it loud, but Mama is looking for PEACE, ya know? All beauty businesses should give their clients a little champagne to get into pamper mode! Am I right, or am I right? That being said, the service here can be hit or miss. I never manage to keep track of technician's names that I particularly like--or when I do, they're gone after a few appointments. I've never been upset about the finished product, but pedis are a little more low stakes than manicures. I have had the occasional "rough" technician, where the relaxation is disturbed by occasional pain. And you only need to be sliced open by the sharp edge of a nail file once before you're on high alert to prevent it ever happening again. I just wish I could count on pure relaxation when coming here. On my last visit, I'm sad to say my chair was straight up dirty. Both side tables on the chair and their cup holders had not been cleaned in obviously quite some time. I know this because it looked like the inside of our car when a detailing is long overdue! There was evidence of multiple spills which had gotten sticky and had started collecting dust and grime. I'm no clean freak but it's such an easy thing to restore to sparkling! A cloth dipped in hot water with a tiny bit of sanitizing/cleaning agent, zero elbow grease, and the chair would have looked brand new. And while I have no doubt they sanitize their tools, it makes you wonder what else they're letting slide. My daughter got an acrylic set on my last visit as well. The tech did a great job with my teen's polish design, which was of course very specific, but the work on the acrylics was just...bad. The fingernails were molded upwards at an angle like her nails were peeling backwards at the base. I didn't say anything because I didn't see the finished product until the end, but I also didn't want my teen thinking the nails she just got for her event were "bad." I will be coming back here, but this last visit was the first in a long time and upon re-entering I realized my less frequent pedis were because the place just isn't as relaxing as it once was. Like I said, not giving up on Velvet, but I am always on the lookout for the Pedi Heaven I seek. I hope they can bring it!

Most importantly though, you can still reliably get a killer manicure and pedicure here. The attention to detail and level of care given is incredible. My faves Pink and Tina are still knocking it out of the park with the most impeccable manicures I've had and I really can't see myself trusting my nails with anyone else. And I've caved and tried a place or two over the last couple years and regretted it. Won't make that mistake again!! What's changed? I'd say they've added more staff to keep up with the demand. You still should always try to make an appointment. I don't go anywhere these days without an appointment. And they also have added a number of services including their new head spa services that lol pretty amazing. If I didn't already go for regular massages I might consider it. They also have all the trendy gels and dips and builders and that you might be looking for. Oh, and they recently upgraded all their massage chairs! How could I forget that!!

I chose not to do gel just because I wanted to give my nails a breather. Anyhow, one of the techs came and got me and sat me at her chair. I asked for the manicure first so that it can dry while I was getting my pedicure. She was listening to her AirPods when we first started, but then I started telling her about my cuticles being sensitive and to just be cautious. She seemed very sweet. Anyway, the manicure was done and she put oil on my cuticles. She didn't say anything about a massage and I assumed since I got a regular manicure that she was going to wait for it to dry or something. I probably should've said something then, but normally when people get manicures, they want a massage too. Anyhow, we proceeded over to the pedicure station, which they have really nice chairs. I don't know if they offer water or anything, but she did offer me anything. Anyhow, we started talking about the tea shop next-door and how delicious it was. She seemed very kind and then the pedicure was over and there was a lot of lotion still left on my feet and she put my slippers on. After afterwards, she took me straight to pay and said it was $55. I asked her if I wasn't going to get a massage on my hands and if that wasn't a normal part of the manicure. SHE SAID IT DEPENDS ON THE TECH! She said some people don't like it so she doesn't give one unless it's asked for. I'm sorry, are you kidding me? You don't give a massage on hands when someone is coming for a manicure? How about ask me before you put polish!!!??? Are you for real? I was so baffled! She stood there while I checked out so I felt obligated to tip her. I was infuriated! I asked her again about the massage and I told her that I wanted a massage. She did not offer to do it and she did not have anyone else waiting. Decent conversation doesn't equal a tip for me, service does! Anyhow, I walked out of the shop and I was sliding in my sandals. I decided to come back in and ask if I can sit there until they were dry. A lady put me in the sitting area and turned on the fan underneath. I then grabbed my own towel from the handwashing station and wiped the lotion off my feet so that I wouldn't slip and fall. She went outside and she was on her phone. Then about 10 minutes later, another girl walked in and she went to her table in the back. She had plenty of time to do my massage on my hand, that I paid for! I am so mad right now I cannot believe that I even wasted my money here. I won't even mention her name, but she sits all the way in the back. How disgraceful! She didn't even make any eye contact when she came back in with her other customer. Who gets a manicure without a massage? And for $55! What a shame.
