I waited to review because the first time is never enough, but after coming here for a second fill in, I must admit this is one of the better shops near downtown. They are always ready for customers as soon as we walk in, due to the large amount of staff. Everyone seems pretty friendly so far and the place seems clean. The two nail techs I had were efficient and made sure they understood what I wanted. I appreciate that! Additionally, their pricing is standard and even better because they do decent work. I paid $15 for a fill-in with acrylic, plus $2 for a cut down. I know the charge additional for everything else (long nails, shape change, etc.), but that seems normal for the city. They also charge $1 extra for using a card, so bring cash. Lastly, I must brag on the fact that they still take pride in having a selection of Opi regular polish for us girls that don't do gel. They happened to have my favorite color and was over the moon! read more

Vip Nail Lounge - Big toe cut up and swollen - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I come to this place often as it's close by and they usually do a decent job. Depending on what nail tech you get you'll get a different outcome and attitude. I've typically tried to ignore the attitudes and roughness of the techs but my experience today was too much. The guy servicing me kept trying to lift my nails after I had signed in and waited for a soak off. He was seemingly irritated that he couldn't take the fast way out and comprise the health of my nails by popping my acrylic off with a tool. I reminded him 3x that I was there for a soak off and he sat back rolled his eyes and threw his tools down. I sensed it was a problem for him and took my things and left. You'll get a decent mani/pedi but it's not worth the disrespect you may experience. Save your money and time for someplace that values it. read more

Super liked my nails. I don't remember the name of the girl, but she recommend the color I'm wearing and super loved it. This is a first to me in a nail salon. Will be back for sure. Great service ;) read more

Vip Nail Lounge - Acrylic nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I've been here before and never had any issues. This time, however, my pedicure was subpar and the shellac manicure was the worst I have ever received. The young lady doing the pedicure gave me attitude, didn't clean the nails correctly, and barely scrubbed the bottom of my feet until I told her two separate times to do so. When it came to the shellac manicure, I asked why the color of the mani didn't match the pedicure and she said "there's nothing I can do, it happens sometimes". I am very disappointed in the recent decrease in quality and horrible customer service. read more

Vip Nail Lounge - Poorly defined cuticles, very sloppy work. Even when I called it to her attention, she ignored me and kept on going. - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I came in for a pedicure today... everything was swell until I was sat at the chair with the guy with the nasty attitude. he was rough (at one point he got so upset with me, he yanked my pant leg down IN THE MIDDLE of painting my toe nails). unnecessary... he was annoyed because I noticed he clipped my nails on right foot but not left. the service really depends on who you get. Beware- after a few times coming you'll know whos friendly and who continue to express microaggression Everytime read more

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a nail salon...like ever. Nicky was so fantastic - he hooked it up and fixed a completely disastrous situation with my nails that another salon did. He was both a great converser and a great listener. I hardly ever post reviews the fact that I'm taking the time to do this speaks for itself when you get your nails done with *Nicky*! read more

I was nervous to go to this salon because of the most recent reviews, but I'm glad I did! Leroy was professional and attentive. He did his best to make my vision come to life. He was a perfectionist which is a great quality for a nail tech to have. The only reason I gave 5 stars is because my cuticles were a-little cut up during the buffing process. I'd absolutely be back again! read more

Vip Nail Lounge - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Came in with a friend to celebrate together, but we weren't even seated next to each other. Couldn't chat with her the entire time so that kind of defeated half the purpose of the trip. Tools are definitely not sanitized correctly- I watched my nail tech soak the cuticle cutters in the same dish as my fingers, spritz them with alcohol and put them back into the same packaging they came out of before going back in the drawer. Nail files had nail dust from previous customers on it. I asked for round nails and the tech immediately cut them square. Not a relaxing experience in any way. Tech didn't seem like he wanted to be there and was more interested in the soccer game going on in the background. Ended up with inconsistent nail shapes, a hair stuck between layers of nail polish and globs of polish in some spots of the nail. Fortunately, since it was regular polish it wasn't too bad (15 dollars) but as soon as I left I had the overwhelming urge to go home, take the polish off and reshape my nails and do them myself. I felt uncomfortable asking for refined shapes or asking any questions really. Will not be back and wouldn't recommend to anyone even if you're in a pinch. read more

Crap crap I ended up in emergency after they apply lashes the girl that did the lashes appear very young!!! not sure why I allowed her to do them, not sure she was even licensed but I will never go there again...., not to mention they are extremely disrespectful, rude and the prices have tripled. The place is dirty and needs a thorough cleaning I didn't see anyone wash their hands or use any kind of precaution. The owner is nonchalant and witnessed his staff being disrespectful and rude and doesn't say anything. I didn't speak up I just watch the environment and realize that I would never go there again! What I did anticipate is 20 minutes after I left my eye swell shit with Puss and I had to go to emergency. read more

LADIES GO ELSEWHERE !! POINT BLANK PERIOD ... DO NOT GIVE THIS JOINT ONE DARN DIME .. I recently visited this nail salon for a pedicure and was extremely disappointed with the service I received. The staff is rude and unprofessional! The pedicure itself was rushed and not done per industry standard . Yet they grossly kept asking if I wanted "Nail Done or Shellac" heck Nawl , I wasn't committing to giving up anymore of my coins . The overall atmosphere of the salon was unpleasant,while sitting in the chair I requested to speak to a "manger" who pathetically refused to be of any assistance as he was dismissive and unhelpful . I was also charged a $2.00 fee for using my debit card, which was not disclosed to me prior to my visit , nor was the extra 2.00 fee on the receipt , which is illegal I would not recommend this nail salon to anyone. The poor service, subpar quality, and rude staff make it not worth the time or money. I'm surprised this place is still in business especially in a prime location . read more

On the plus side: nice tech, walked right in, easy to get to off Jefferson On the minus side: was more like an "express" pedicure...like it when they spend more time on the bottom of my feel, and I had to ask her to file my toenails before painting. Come to think of it, I don't think she touched my cuticles :( read more

I honestly think one star is a too generous. Horrible inexperienced nail tech with a very bad attitude. I was charged $60 for this. read more

Clean, friendly, properly stocked and great attention to detail. This salon is downtown so I was skeptical but I was 100% satisfied with my service and would absolutely return. Some of the comments complained about the price but I found it to be pretty standard and well worth it. Yea, I paid a little less near seven mile and Meyer but the salon was disgusting and the gel machines looked like they had never been cleaned. This place was GREAT! I love the vibe and would highly recommend going as early as possible because they get busy. read more

I've come here 3 times. The price is always super high. My nails never last over two weeks-and that's shellac. If you ever get any kind of gems they literally fall off within 48 hours. Nail shapes are cut inconsistently. The technicians don't understand your request and wait until you're halfway into the session to clarify what they're actually doing. read more

First visit and it is the last. I received a $40 gift cert and a word that this shop was alright: "better than the other one in the neighborhood". I used the cert and paid an additional $36 and got a mani pedi with shellac overlay. The very next day, one nail had come completely off. By the weeks end, I had 5 nails that needed to be re-done. Oh, they also charge a $1 fee if you use a card to pay for the service(s). I called back and spoke to a man who gave the name of "Lee". Mr. Lee said return and we will do over. I was but I changed my mind. Why? Because my time is valuable. Secondly, the do over should include some form of financial reimbursement. Third, VIP had one chance to show me my time and money is worth something to them. I expected better and paid top dollar for that expectation. Patrons beware, spend your $$$ somewhere else!

This was my favorite nail salon until Nina left. She was amazing. The last man that did my nails was rough and inexperienced. Time to find somewhere new. read more

The man stabbed my thumb twice taking off my nails, they came out uneven, and he was rude and talked about me during my appointment. T&t nails down the street is much nicer read more

They don't even deserve the one star. I just had to walk out after the nail tech got up from the table, walked to the back and slammed the door. The service is unprofessional and I have on a number of occasions seen women have to walk out because of how they are treated. Today was my turn I guess. No one corrected her behavior or tried to provide the bare min of customer service. read more

This place is awesome and very convenient! They are very attentive and have snacks and water while you wait! For the time being of the grand opening period they have 20% off of your services! They are very professional and I will be a regular! Everything is brand spanking new in the salon! So definitely worth a stop! read more

Vip Nail Lounge - Super deluxe pedicure ! - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

It's local and convenient. Didn't think it was clean or sanitized. I had to ask the man to stop during my manicure. He was in a rush and my nail was badly broken when I went in, I showed him, and asked him to be mindful of it- that lasted four seconds. He couldn't get the French line right and didn't want to do my nails and told me it was my fault that my nails were so short and seemed satisfied. He kept watching the soccer game, turning around and stopping and then would start rushing again. It was so strange. It was 30 dollars for the pedicure. I will not go back. Two stars Bc the pedicure looked nice but I promise nothing was opened in front of me as any of the tools were cleaned or sterilized. read more

I got a full set acrylic with shellac polish and these pics are from 2 weeks after I got them done at VIP nail lounge! I am very impressed! I also work in healthcare so I am constantly washing my nails with sanitizer which usually makes my nails lift quick and don't last very long! This was my first time at VIP and I will be returning!! read more

Most of the staff are rude. The quality of the work is not good but also depends on who you get. The last time I went there I kept telling them I don't want them to use that drill to take my gel nail polish off (my real nails!). So she put some RANDOM sticky substance on my nails telling me this will make my gel nail polish come off quicker. That thing curled my nails tight and hurt! I asked them to immediately take it off as they couldn't even explain to me what it was! I'm not a guinea pig to experiment on. I may need to report them to the department of health. Overall this place is dirty. read more

Don't go here. The prices here are higher then other places. $25-30 for a full set & $35 for a pedicure & they don't put in any effort to do it properly. Believe it or not I still had dead skin on my feet after I left! I also got a full set & the nails were lifting terribly a week later after my cruise! They charged my mother $14 for her eyebrows! There is no set price, they do what they feel. Only good thing about this place is that it's new & clean. read more

I called at 3:40 to ask if they have paper sandals to go and asked if they could still see me and although their customer service over the phone was horrible I trusted the man when he said "we close at 5, we can still see you if you get here before then," I got ready and arrived at 4:15 only to be told that they weren't seeing anyone anymore. I'm not from Detroit so I took an Uber and felt very disappointed that they lied to me and had me waste money getting here. On the flip side, the place looked disgusting and unhygienic. read more

I absolutely love coming here. Bobby and nicki always do an amazing job on my nails! I don't trust anyone else to do them though.

I went to this nail shop on a Saturday and it was very busy! I was greeted and and asked what I needed for the day, I was polite in return and told the man that I just needed my eye brows done. He nodded his head and I sat on the side. He didn't specify how long the wait would be, 30 minutes went by so I left. I then came the next day because I was being understanding. On Sundays the shop hours vary, the hours are 12 noon -5pm. I left work early just to arrive at the establishment at 12:05!!!!!!!!!!!! There were a few people there before me but nothing like the day before, actually ALOT LESS. I asked the same this time how long would be wait be for eye brows and he said:(and I quote) " Were not going to be able to get to that today" -_- at 12:05 until 5pm you don't have time? Lol these people obviously don't care about customers or all of the services they provide. That Saturday was my first time visiting the nail salon, and it will be my last. I was only coming to them because I live walking distance, and I haven't had my eye brows waxed in some time because I usually get my eye brows threaded. Needless to say, I'm not a fan. Hopefully everyone has a better experience than I did! I won't be recommending anyone to this nail salon, and I'll continue to go the extra mile in order to get my eye brows done. :D read more

service was not the best. Asked for a shellac manicure and the woman only applied one coat. Every other place I've been to, it has always been 3-4 coats. The woman seemed to have an attitude because I said something about it. I wanted to try a new nail salon and is highly disappointed in the end result. Will not be back! read more

I love this nail salon! They are clean and quick without compensating quality. I tried countless nail salons in the Detroit area before finding my nail home. read more

Would give them 0 if I could after one week nails lifting and they were lumpy and too expensive!

Slow and rude. Came into the shop ( was not busy at all) and was immediately addressed for service. Sat in the pedicure soaking rub for 95 minutes before I was serviced while I watch guest who came after me speed through services. Asked the shop associated about the extremely long wait time and was damn near disregarded. She acted as if she did not understand what I was saying, then looked at me square in the eyes and walked off as if what I was asking her an issue. NEVER again. And not to be only of those overly sensitive people but there definitely was an bias in speed and quality of service. Not to mention polish job wasn't the best and I asked for my nails to be shaped square/rectangle. The associate took it upon her self to create a shape of her own. My nails aren't uniform at all. Curved tops, flat tops, taper sides etc. So in the end I waited 2.5 hours for a mediocre job on top of shitty customer service. Oh a plus; they give you complimentary water. read more
