    french tip

    I always get french tips here and they do an amazing job!!!! The shape of my nails is always perfect too. The guy who always does my fingernails takes so much time to make sure they are the perfect shape and length. The ladies who have done my pedicure are very sweet and do a wonderful job, taking time and not rushing. I highly suggest this salon, they have my business! I've been to other salons in baton rouge and they can't seem to do as good of a job on my french tips. This place is great!!!

    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!

    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!!!

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

    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.

She even apologized for not immediately greeting me due to taking a phone call. That is how customer service is done! The other woman standing next to her had no excuse. I waited in the waiting area for about ten minutes. The decor was nice and not overdone. I was called back to a station and waited for a little more than ten minutes. There was music playing and TVs playing without sound; I wished they added the captions because otherwise, what is the point of the TV-- many people do not read lips. I met my technician. She was not particularly welcoming and was not a conversationalist as I have experienced elsewhere. However, I could see she was experienced with her craft. I mentioned an allergy that kept me from using certain products. I also mentioned a medical condition. Though I do not think the condition was understood, as it was not acknowledged or questioned for explanation, it actually did not become a problem during the session. As an introvert, I was hoping the stations were going to be a little spread a part. They were not. I appreciated the purse hook to avoid sitting the purse on the floor, though! Some salons do not have sinks for handwashing, but this salon does, which I like. No beverage was offered. No greetings or smiles from other staff members passing by during the wait. This is the first salon of this size that I have visited that has a small selection of polish colors, gel and non-gel. I was actually shocked. We settled on the American tip. I loved how the technician shaped my nails and exercised care during the manicure. No dust collector was used during filing, though-- I definitely had to clean my nose at home after breathing all that. I loved her attention to the cuticle work and hangnail cleanup. However, when she asked if I was liking the tips, I affirmed but asked if she thought the tips should be extended to cover my natural tips. She said no, and they were good. I took her professional opinion. I did not feel rushed until it was time to dry. She added something to my nails at the drying station, and I felt okay until my fingers started itching towards the end of drying. I also wondered why I needed UV. The itching worsened while in my vehicle leaving, which is when I noticed with the sunlight the negative space between the smile line and drawn tips. Jeez. It was about an hour before I could get home and get some hydrocortisone cream for my fingers. That was not a mistake. I cleaned polish from underneath two nails and tried to fix one tip on my right hand.
