So glad I found this place!! I had given a tip last time but I wanted to make things official with a review. I'm so picky that it's hard for me to find a place I like. I'm the type that clips my own toenails prior to my pedicure because many times they don't listen when I say "short". This is not the case here with Lee. She is so thorough. Each time I leave my feet are buffed and painted to perfection! Bottom line, give this place a try. I don't care if you have to drive a half hour to get here. Trust me it's worth it if you're particular. Make sure you ASK FOR LEE! I cannot attest for anyone else cuz I've only ever gotten her. Also for those with little divas, girls pedicures for $10!! It's cheaper than a sitter and will keep your little one happy and quiet. It's our new mommy/daughter activity. VIP is amazing!!!! read more

My nails did not come out like I wanted them to, all of my nails are different sizes and shapes!

Fantastic! I have never had such perfect gel nails last so long. Jen is amazing! I will be returning for sure.

Great job on gel nails. They do their best to accommodate your schedule. My favorite is Yen.

Excellent service for what they do. Employees talk a lot among themselves. The guy that did my gel manicure did a great job. I asked for a cut down, they feel and look great. read more

What a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in I was welcomed and treated professionally. My nails are incredible and I look forward to returning. read more

This was my first time coming here and let me just say they have found a new regular customer. You have to be specific in terms of what you want if you want something a little on the fancier side but I have no problem with that because I want what I want and I'll make sure if I'm paying for it I get it lol, if I was to be picky my nails are not all the same length however that's not a huge deal breaker I'll just have to be extra observant next time. I got a pedicure done as well and I loved it! She did a good job on my toes too and I just love how soft my feet are after a good pedicure. All in all it's a great experience with a comforting environment and for the price I will definitely be back. There was a woman who was doing this sweet elderly woman's nails when I was there that was being a little rude to her and even bullied her to not do what the woman was originally wanted. To the point when the lady asked the woman how she wanted something the woman would just respond with "whatever you think" that for me is a red flag. I don't know her name but I do know I will not settle for that kind of treatment. Who knows had that woman done my nails this review might have been completely different. read more

Super happy with the way my feet were treated today!! Walked in and they were a little slow today, being the middle of the afternoon during the week, so I got right in! All the girls were really friendly! Loved the service; feet look and feel amazing!! read more

VIP Nails & Spa - Pedicure today!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My husband didn't want to go to my regular place so we tried this one. We were both seated and someone promptly started my pedicure. At the desk I had asked for a deluxe, but in the end he only gave me the basic pedicure. The massage was weirdly rushed, but I could tell they were getting busy and starting to rush everyone. I get pedicures every 2 weeks. One of the main reasons I get a pedicure is for A) the massage and B) the heel smoothing. I could really care less how well my cuticles are cared for on my feet so if the massage and heels are not taken care of, the pedicure in my opinion is mediocre. My husband and I were seated at the same time, but they didn't start his pedicure until they were polishing my toes. They could have told us to come back in 20 minutes or that it would be a while before they could accommodate both of us. I would have understood. The facilities were clean and the staff seemed nice enough. I liked the massage chairs at this location. I will unlikely return though. I didn't feel like a VIP in the least. read more

I came here after leaving in the middle of a manicure at another salon due to horrible treatment by the nail tech. The people here helped me RIGHT AWAY! And were just LOVELY. I didn't get the woman's name who fixed my nails but she was great! I will definitely be back. The salon is clean, and the prices are very affordable. Great job!! Thank you so much for making a terrible experience into a great one!!!! read more

I went in and got a mani pedi combo. And lots of things went wrong. First I got my pedi done, it seemed decent enough. I wanted a flower design on my nails (a simple one at that) and the tech told me you can't paint a flower on black polish unless it's a white flower.....I know that isn't true but I find a white flower design for her. She tells me no she can't do it, it will look bad. She then gets me a stack of the tackiest looking nail stickers to choose from. No thanks. I go without. She tells me she's done, and I'm like ok? So what about my mani? She has me walk across their nasty floor bare foot and takes my shoes. She does my manicure...and seems so annoyed at me. She then takes me to the drier. I must have dried my nails 20 minutes! She never came back for me and moved on to another customer! Another tech came and told me my nails should be dry and I could leave. I then had to ask to be cashed out. It has been 24 hours and my polish (normal not gel) is cracked in both my pedicure and manicure AND my mani has chipped like crazy. Overall...I was not impressed. I will not be back read more

My go to place for a pedi/mani combo. Best price & best work. Friendly atmosphere! Will always enjoy my time here & will return.

I have been to this nail salon a few times for a pedicure and every time I end up with ingrown toenails. I will never recommend nor return to this salon. I don't have this issue at any other nail salon. read more

I got a pedicure and gel manicure here for the first time yesterday. My appt was at 5pm and I showed up 15min early and they took care of me right away. The lady who did my manicure was pretty good and quick. My pedi cure was also alright but I have to keep telling the lady to get the dirt out of my toes since I was at the river last weekend. If I wouldn't have told her anything she wouldn't have cleaned it well. But anyways I give it 4/5 stars just bc I don't like to have to tell them to how to clean it or whatever.... other than that everything else was good & the nail stylists were all very friendly. read more

nice, clean facility with fair price for spa pedicures. the gel color section is nice. the quality of the service varies depending on who performs the service. sarah is great. read more

They did a great job rebasing my nails. I like a natural look and I had gotten an overlay at another salon. The other salon did a pretty bad job, but VIP affixed their errors and made me very happy with the finished product! Thank you! read more

Today, my daughter, her friend and I got mani/pedi's (getting girls ready for homecoming). It was an awesome experience - very relaxing, spotless, a lot of attention to detail for each person and a huge amount of attention towards cleanliness/sanitation. I did a french pedicure, and the person asked if the white was too thick, etc. - very personalized towards customer's wishes. Also, all prices are clearly posted and very reasonable (not common in some nail shops). We all came home with beautiful nails. We'll definitely return! read more

I've always enjoyed coming here. Their staff is very nice and they listen to what you want really well. They realistically tell you what you can and can't do with your nails (even if it's costing them to not do the request). They're not pushy for services you don't want or need, and they always make time for you. The owners are great and do nails as well and really respects their staff and customers. Their English is on point and you'll always be able to understand what they say, read more

VIP Nails & Spa - This is regular polish with a simple flower. Probably my favorite flower I've ever had! - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Jennifer does great nails! I moved here back in August and since then had been trying to find a good nail place (as I'm super picky). I tried her out once and loved it! Came back 2 weeks later with her, and she seemed like she'd had a rough day, had a terrible attitude and when I chose a color she said 'someone else was using it and I had to choose a different color because they were closing soon'. Keep in mind I had SCHEDULED my appointment. I let her know I didn't want to choose another color, that I wanted that one and she then "then wait" (which I didn't mind waiting). Overall, bad service my second time there and haven't been back since (: read more

The experience me and my 16 year old daughter had at this establishment, I would never wish upon anyone.. it started with an a line of interrogation rather than a warm greeting. The nail technician/ owner failed to perform to standard on a set of acrylic nails. When he was asked to fix them, he persisted in demonstrating a less than subpar set of nails. He then overcharged us and refused to give the change that was owed. I will never go to this so called place of business ever again not will I recommend this place to another person. Period. Spare yourself and go to a nice clean professional place that gives you the full experience of feeling beautiful. read more

Went in here with my mom to treat her to a pedicure & myself to a new set, which they asked about, they got my mom seated right away but I was waiting for a while, someone else came in for a new set & they sat her down right away completely forgetting about me. They asked if I was waiting & I told them no, like I already said I was getting a new set, I then had to wait another 15 minutes for them to get me started only to discover out of 6 people only one knew how to do ombré & she had just started on the set who walked it. Extremely disappointing & disrespectful, & to just be brushed off like no big deal. Won't come here again, & will steer people away from them. read more

This review is based on the waxing service ONLY. I love this place for nails. Mani/Pedi gel- they are awesome. A co-worker suggested I use them for waxing. I went in for underarm waxing & came out with severe burns! The lady who did it was super nice but the wax was way too hot. She realized it & even admitted it. I thought she had adjusted the heat before she did the other arm but it was even hotter! I don't know what to do now. It's very painful & I'm afraid it'll scar. read more

I love this place, everyone is so nice, they are not pushy to up sell anything and they do a great job. I work in retail and my toe nails are always messed up from wearing high heals all day, they do a great job of getting my ingrown toenails. read more

This place is located next to my place but convenient! Looks like it's my last time in! First time I got the worst fake looking nails ever horrible job! Think and short and all they had to say "it's good so no break!" Please I've been doing my nails long enough to know better! Second experience I get over charged for my 8 year old pedicure! And last waited one hour to be seen got skip and finally decided to walk out. And the wax area is not cleaned after every person! Gross!!! read more

Andy and the whole staff are absolutely professional and fantastic . I always recommend them.. my always go to and happy to be a client

Came in for a gel manicure after reading all the good reviews about this place. VIP Nails did not disappoint! One of the best gel manicures I've ever received. The woman who did waited on me was nice, friendly and repeatedly checked in to see if I liked the way she filed my nails, if I liked the color, etc. She was quick but I didn't feel rushed, and the mani itself came out flawless. Also, very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

I got acrylic nails done here n one of the tips wouldn't stay glued down and the guy just went ahead with it anyway. I thought he would fix it.... but no. I had to tell the other girl who did my eyebrows and she re did it. read more

Had a gel manicure as a walk in. There was no one else waiting and I did not have to wait for my manicure. Limited choice of colors, but the options they have are nice. I was happy with the result. read more

Always clean, nice, quick and professional. I have been coming here over a year and always consistent great service.

Andy and Jen's VIP nails salon is the best! They are very friendly and they always remember your name and do a great job. They are usually very busy with all of the locals, so it's recommended that you make an appointment ahead of time so you don't have to wait. Tam does a great job on pedicures and is worth the wait. read more

Just had a pedicure by Van. She was extremely thorough and very conscientious. It's brand new, so the store is very clean and fresh, but nothing special otherwise. I walked-in without an appointment and was seen right away, but all the other chairs were full. They're offering 20% off now, so the standard $20 pedicure cost $17 and change, after tax. They don't up-sell and pressure you into painting silly flowers or salt scrubs. Mostly everyone spoke English, so my preferences weren't lost in translation. I like that they wear gloves during the "wet" portion of the service. Too bad I always pick terrible colors--my toes are very pretty now otherwise. :( read more

Clean and spacious shop. Staff is quick, friendly, and attentive. Prices are reasonable. Usually moderately busy, so walk-ins may have a short wait. read more

I went to VIP Nails 3 weeks ago. Don't go here for acrylic. Horrible experience. Lady was file happy and kept hitting my cuticles with the dremmel. I told her to quit filing and she told me that the way I wanted them wouldn't look good. I don't know her name because she didn't speak English real well. Went here because of all the positive reviews. read more

My first time in this Salon and I am impressed! They not only give excellent & thorough manicures and pedicures, they do it with professionalism, kindness, personality, and engage with their customers. Their goal is obviously to give their clients a great experience & product so they don't rush or cut corners. A special thanks to Andy and the rest of the staff. Well done. read more
