    Loved they matched the color and shaped for a natural look!
    Carmen B.

    So glad I found this place while away from home. I desperately needed a dip refill and they were so adamant about matching my color exactly. My nails look so natural and the shape is perfect. This place was also able to accommodate a group of four without having to wait hours.

    I love!!!!

    I decided to leave my regular nail place, and try some place new! The shape done on my nails was amazing. I also appreciated them asking me if I was into thicker or thinner acrylic I usually get stuck with a lb on my hands anywhere else! they had tons of nail add ons & decals I'm so excited to return! My only complaint would be accidentally getting the wrong color on my hands which was also partly my fault for not realizing till the end, but am still extremely pleased with the result! I will be seeing u guys every 3 weeks from now on

    Don't go here. They painted my gel without letting it dry so by the next day the polish was coming off. The black paint then got all over my white nails. They were nice the first time, but when I went back so they could fix their mistakes, the woman had an attitude. She then did an okay job at fixing them. The black paint is now really thin and you can kinda see through it. They're just general sloppy. Stuff stuck in the dried gel, lines not sharp, and they're bumpy. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

    Not happy with my experience. Since Covid they have reopened and there a lack of quality service. They don't allow to wash your hands during a full set , they don't put cuticle oil on your fingers and don't massage your hand with lotion. The pricing has gone up. Throughout my full set the nail tech kept checking his phone. I arrived at 11:30 wasn't sat till 12:50 for a pedicure then I did a full set gel polish and didn't leave until 2:40 There was no crowd and only one person before me and she had been waiting for 40 min 10 min after 10 min into my wait. When I asked for a brown color the nail tech woman just handed me pink colors - had to ask 3x and eventually pointed to her seat color stating do you have any of that color. She once again handed 3 sets of multi colors non included brown. The closest was a squash color and I decided pink since they didn't have brown I'm assuming. My big toe nail broke off and the nail tech didn't file it even so it's on a angle and did not take all the red polish. There really wasn't a massage - she rushed through my whole pedicure. The full set was done by a male he kept checking his phone and texting. I think he thought I didn't notice because I was on YouTube but I was quite annoyed. The shape and color is good but He did not clean under my nails, did not put cuticle oil or provide me lotion- so it looked dry on the skin and crappy underneath. My full set ended up being $63- the up charge for gel polish is ridiculous it's literally the same amount of work as regular nail polish I'm not upset at the full set paint or shape - it's the detail of not getting a full experience Pedicures need to be more thorough as well No one was rushed and there was not a crowd. Been coming here for years and this is the first time I Ddnt feel like it was worth $102 or being in a short from 11:30 to 2:40pm Pink nails are my 11/7/20 experience

    Awesome nail salon! The people here are really nice and treat their customers like family, and remember everyone's name. They have a large assortment of colors, and a variety a gel polish. They are very clean and sanitary, and offer a large array of services. If your ever in the area, give them a try, and ask for Choy!

    Choy, my nail tech took this pic ...I just love my nails again! Thank you so much!
    Martina H.

    I just love my nails again! Thank you so much Choy! Recently I moved here from Texas and couldn't find a nail salon who was able to create my nails like my previous nail technician from TX (I had for 15 yrs) I'm so thankful I now found Vela nails!!!. Excellent ! The most friendly and relaxing atmosphere! I didn't have to wait at all! Very clean!Choy is very creative , super friendly and did everything to create my nails so beautiful and everything to my satisfaction ! I found my nail salon where I will go to and highly recommend it for everyone!!!! Awesome service!!!

    I truly enjoy the quality service I get when I come to Vela Nails. The customer service is awesome!

    After four days, chipped SNS
    Danielle M.

    After seeing many glowing reviews, I decided to visit Vela Nails. I've been wanting to try out SNS and they are one of the few salons in Baton Rouge that offer it. I first visited on a Saturday afternoon and was told there was a 15 minute wait. I should have known better. After 40 minutes and still another person (possibly two) before me, I decided to make an appointment for another day. On both visits, there were only two techs. They really need to hire more to keep service moving. When I arrived for my appointment, I only waited for about 5-7 minutes. The service itself was fine. She did a pretty good job on the manicure. It did appear to take twice the time as a gel application, but it was my first time trying it and I wanted it done properly. Overall, the finished product looked good. I wasn't crazy about the shape ( and she didn't ask), but it was doable. Here's where it goes downhill --- within FOUR DAYS, the SNS started to crack on two nails. Very disappointed. $41( with tip) and it only lasted four days? Unacceptable. Today, two more nails chipped. I am not extremely hard on nails and my gel usually lasts two weeks or more. I've been told this treatment does the same, so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The only reason they are receiving two stars is because of the actual manicure and they were friendly. I will stick with Zaza nails or Best Nails and do not plan to return to Vela.

    Acrylic refill, OPI gel.

    They always do such a beautiful job on my nails and take great care. The salon is clean and they have a lot of options for colors/designs. Not to mention that the prices are fantastic and they have a great punch card discount program. Open on sundays is a great plus.

    Very friendly and no wait time. Had gel nails/manicure and pedicure done...excellent job !

    Fresh out! Acrylic Full Set! I like them. Haven't had acrylic in a while. Clean & friendly. I also like the board of prices for everything!

    Friendly & nice service! Clean and they offer a variety of polish options from regular to gel to SNS.

    Brand new nail shop & I am very impressed! Great customer…read moreservice from beginning to end! Great service & neat work! This place is new and has only been open for 4 days- right now whole month is 20% off. Walked in immediately greeted & offered beverages. Ann did a damn good job on my tapered fullset. I didn't have to correct here, application was great & the paint job was flawless. We spoke the whole time. I was unsure which color I wanted and she let me try 5 diff colors with no complaints. She really cares about her work and she asks specifics about your request- like how thick, how many coats of polish,. She's not putting anything on your finger- she makes sure you like it and checks each nail. We ended up having a mini hand photoshop! Make sure yall ask for Ann she really took her time and engaged - i haven't seen this type of clean work in a years in BR! Fullset w/Gel including discount i paid $45 Dip & gel available with lots of colors to choose from and there getting more. They offer waxing and lashes! Everyone spoke english! The place was very clean, soothing music, muted tv. It was so relaxing! I was also impressed with the checkin system - it also lets you put the services you want and you get a digital receipt when you pay. They take cash, card, apple pay, wallet Open Mon-Sat 9-7pm, Sun 12-6 On jones creek next to Jasmine on the Bayou I don't say this often this place was truly 5 stars- I will be back!

    slayyyy! besties nails look SOOOO good! she has great feedback on their nails services and consumer…read moreservice. This place is able to do any cool nail ideas you have. Best nail place in BR!!! Shoutout to Sophia, Ann, and Tru
