3/5 stars. Reason was because I had long nails and I had them dipped previously to going here. She was attempting to file down the polish and accidently chipped my pinky nail short. The fact that she was very apologetic and offered to "fix" the length of my pinky nail to match the rest of my nails was what allowed me to give a 3/5 stars. I opted for the gel instead of the dip since...one of my nails broke off. But I was pleased with the outcome of my now shortened nails. Place is beautifully decorated. Plenty of stations for mani and pedis. Parking is plenty as well. Bathrooms available for customers. read more

I choose Shana, and only Shana, to do my nails for the rest of my life!!! I followed Shana here and I suggest you do too! She is the best. She takes the time to educate you on your nails and how to make them last as long as possible. She has done both dip and acrylic, square and round, design and plain colors on me for the past couple of years. I recommend her to everyone and if you are coming here I hope you choose her! read more

It was easy to walk-in for an appt for two pedicures on a Thursday night. It's nice not having to fight for parking, unlike other places. They had various pedicures to choose from. It's been awhile so I did the Dead Sea Spa Pedicure with gel polish. My feet felt so smooth afterwards! I'll have to make this my regular place. read more

I would give zero stars if I could...please do not come here, especially to get your brows done. I was unhappy with the way Helen did my eyebrows(pic inserted). I explained to her to remove the charge because she didn't provide a service and she indeed ruined my eyebrows instead. After trying to get her to understand she had done a horrible job, the owner comes over and tries gaslighting me, "that's just how your eyebrows grow". I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for ten years and I know what doesn't look right. After about 5 min of me asking for them to take the charge off they finally did but not without insulting me insinuating that I just didn't want to pay. They do not care about quality here and they are overpriced...just go elsewhere it's not even worth your time. read more

At last, I found a good nail salon in Chesapeake! I saw Henry, who was fantastic; he did a perfect long coffin tip, expertly shaping the nail tip and applying dip powder. He even knew not to use a gel topcoat, but to use the dip system topcoat so as to not burn the dip with UV. He dipped my nails perfectly, right to the cuticle line without flooding the cuticle as so many other salons here do. He was also so helpful in recommend some great Asian grocery stores in the area! Loved my experience and plan to make this my go-to salon from here on. read more

I usually don't leave bad reviews for businesses I just won't return but I had the worst experience. I went in wanting a fill and gel polish. She cut every one of my fingers with the drill and left them lumpy and the polish job is absolutely terrible. Waste of $45. read more

Nanae is amazing! It's a pricy salon, but it's well worth it for a relaxing long lasting gel pedicure. Going back and bringing a friend.

I've never had this happen to me before, but the lady I had cut my nail diagonally into my nail bed and it hurts SO BAD and this happened to two different nails. One of them was bleeding at the end.. read more

I never even got my nails done. Showed up at 6pm with my mom and daughter. Signed in and sat down. At about 723 we were told that no one wanted to do our nails because they closed at 7pm and everyone wanted to go home. I was very irritated that they couldn't have told us that when we walked in. For wasting over an hour and 30min of our time we were offered a 10% discount for our next service. SMH. read more

I have gone to this salon for quite some time but the Nail Tech I went to is no longer there, so I've been making appointments with others there in hopes of finding a suitable replacement. I made the appointment on line with Hannah, not knowing which one was Hannah, I assumed that is who I got. It wasn't until someone called her Angel that I realized I did not get who I booked with. She spent about 45 minutes of my appointment talking on the phone and then for a while after that, she was watching some videos on her phone while doing my manicure. While the manicure/pedicure was ok (I've had much better), I felt totally disrespected as a customer and will not be back. read more

Wouldn't take us at 5:30 stating they were busy but didn't close until 7 and had several nail techs just walking around or on their phone.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I've been to almost all the techs but I found that Dixie does the best pedicures and Riss does the best nails! I just moved here from Miami 6 months ago and have been searching diligently for somebody who will take care of the shape and cuticles! I'm so glad that I finally found what I was looking for read more

Atmosphere: The atmosphere here is better than most places I find myself waiting at while my wife and daughter get their nails done. The decor is somewhat modern. A relaxing hue of colors lights up the ceiling. Quality: Since I'm training for a couple of marathons I thought I'd join my wife on getting a pedicure. The pedicure itself was really good, especially with the GEL or Jelly treatment and leg massage that came with it. Overall it was better than other places I've been at in Chesapeake. Cleanliness: Although, it still does smell like a nail salon the headache inducing scent wasn't nearly as strong as most places. The floors clean and the new massage chairs new and all wiped down. Service: My wife's technician was very friendly and professional. He defiantly made her feel comfortable while encouraging us to get the GEL treatment. My technician...not so much. I'd like to say she was just being professional but it felt more like she was disinterested with my being there. I guess the best way to describe it was, she lacked warmth. Still it didn't affect the quality of the pedicure so I'm okay with it. Price: No real difference. Basically the same as everywhere else in Chesapeake. Overall: I found it A-OK (3 Stars) but my wife says she's a fan at 4 Stars...so I'll give it 3.5 and round up until I go there again next month as I think I'll keep the pedicure up until this years marathons are over. read more

We recently came in for my sisters birthday. Their lack of communication was the first thing that threw us off. It was a scheduled pedi but they didn't listen to us and kept being confused as much as we were. I ended up getting just an Ok pedi. She didn't really do much more than I do for myself at home. She also cut my nail too short on my big toe and it hurt for a good week. The polish has stayed on for a good two weeks though with minor chips. Side Note: You can only tip with cash. Which threw me off completely. read more

The worst customer service experience I've ever had. I had an older male with short grey hair that wore tactical field and stream clothes. When I asked his name he said it was Alibaba. Go in to get a fill with designs I see one nail isn't turning out like the picture and I say some thing. I only say something because he was using gel and after you put it under the UV light, you can't change it and you have to start the whole nail over. I brought the issue to his attention and he completely went off saying, " do you want to do it or do you want me to do it?" " if you don't like it don't pay." Instead of just fixing the simple issue and reassuring that it would be fine. He continues on yelling so the whole shop could hear. Then proceeds to ask me a question about the nails and yells at me about the answer. I would love to see this man fired and out of a job. He doesn't belong in customer service and should've been fired that day. read more

FABULOUS salon with amazing nail technicians! Received an SNS manicure and a spa pedicure with Kat -- she is AMAZING! Hands down the best manicure I've ever gotten!

I went to get a fill, waited 30 minutes past my appointment time. The fill is terrible, I can still see the line where they were filled. I was also over charged. I was charged for cutting them down and for a gel top, I only asked for clear polish. I will not be back. read more

I walked into the nail spa for a spa pedicure. The nail technician, Michael, started out with a positive service. Then he talked to another technician during my entire service. My spa pedicure became rushed. At one point he cut the side of toe and didn't say a word. I only knew because of a spray he used stinging that area. Then the polish did not even last for me to get out the door. Over all the nail spa was clean and manager was kind. I would not be back to receive service from Michael ever again. read more

Walked in around 1030 on a saturday morning and it was already extremely busy. I showed the tech what I wanted, and while the conversation was great, i did not get what I asked for. I think they are ok but definitely Not worth the 55 bucks he charged me lol. I wouldn't have mind if I had got what I wanted. I ended up going home and added my own glitter polish and blended it out some for a fading effect which made me feel a little better. I was disappointed bc I read great reviews but maybe I just got unlucky. read more

I love VIP nails. It's so professional. They go out of their way to make sure their customers feel welcomed and taken care of. No matter who I sit with, I always enjoy the end results.

It was my first time trying this place, even with some bad reviews online I wanted to try it and I was not disappointed. The place is nice, organized, clean and so relaxing. The lady at the front was extremely helpful and the guy (don't remember his name) ‍ he did a pedi and it was amazing. Very attentive to detail and the chairs give you a back massage which I loved loved it. I will definitely come back read more

Love the ambience of this salon, no odor, not noisy and Dixie is the best!! The menu of pedicures and manicures is large.

LOVE! Very professional. I found this shop on yelp after going to another salon prior, on a Sunday @4pm. I got a pedicure that I was totally satisfied with until I saw there was a Nick after arriving back to my room, but that's not knock off any star due to the service I received. I definitely would return but, because I'm only visiting it would have to be on my next trip to the area. I'm not sure of her name but my nails were done by the owner of the shop, wife, his partner I'd assume. She did a fantastic job, and has a great attitude, and from my view so does every tech in their shop. I don't see why their at a 3 star when clearly should be rated a bit higher. Thanks!!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went in to get a nail repair and a pedicure I asked the nail tech that was helping me how much it would cost he said itll be $60 for the pedicure because I wanted the $60 nunI skin treatment and he also explained that my one nail repair would be 8 dollar plus an extra 10 because of gel which was fine which should've brought my total to $78 but after everything I had to pay $96 because he charged me 20 dollars for 1 nail to be repaired with gel but when the receptionist came back she told him he over charged me by $4 so he took the price from $96 to $92 for a $60 pedicure that he rushed he wasnt even gonna scrub the bottom of my feel with the foot scrubber until I reminded him and he only scrubbed the heel of my foot I had a tip for my nail that broke off that need replacements on my big toe and he only repaired one nail tip and just painted the other big toe nail so that $92 was a waste when he told me before I sat in his chair it would be $68 and he knew before I even sat in his chair that he was gonna over charge me and waited til afterwards to service me read more

I recently relocated the V. Beach area and desperately needed my nails done after having surgery, packing to relocate....the whole 9 yards. So, I chose VIP due to the ratings. I called on a Sunday, about an hour before they closed to find out if they had SNS powder AND to see if I could come in to get a mani and pedi. They told me that they did carry SNS powder products and I was told I could come in. When I got there I was seated in the pedi chair fairly quickly. The pedi was not all that great. The tech...although he was extremely nice and curteous only scrubbed my feet for about a minute and a half...each foot. My feet don't need a lot of work, however, I like a good scrub that lasts longer than an (old fashioned) Mike Tyson fight. I mean...really! I asked him why such a short time and he basically said that my feet were not "rough" and they didn't need much work. That was true but I'm PAYING for a pedicure. Give me what I'm PAYING for which SHOULD be a QUALITY pedi. Anyhoo, on to my nails. Let me just say, I've had SNS on my nails several times and the SNS powder has ALWAYS lasted at least 3 weeks with NO chipping. Well, I got my nails done on a Sunday and by Thursday...they were chipping. Not just one but two. I went back on the following Saturday since I was told to come back just in case they chipped. I was never told that from the tech's at the salon I went to in New Jersey. The tech here must have had issues with clients' nails chipping before. Anyway, he reapplied the clear coating on all my nails but they still shouldn't look like they're looking in the pics I posted. The prices here are a bit pricey in my opinion. I've also noticed that there are no discounts...on certain days...at ANY of the salons in the area. I'm used to ($20 regular mani AND pedi) and discounts on certain services including SNS powder (Monday-Wednesdays) where I'm from. I wanted to like this place but I don't think I'll be back. I don't have $60..PLUS tips...to throw away. For this kind of money, my nails should not look the way that they do. read more

Very nice and clean nail salon. Super friendly staff and very helpful. I don't often get pedicures or manicures, so needless to say I had some questions.

This review is in reference to a particular employee and may not reflect upon the actual salon. Today I went in for a mani/pedi with Michael. He asked me what type of pedicure that I wanted and I said just a basic pedicure. He said that they did not offer that. I told him I didn't understand. He said they offered a standard and then specialty, he said this while smiling and I figured out that he was joking. I said that I didn't want anything fancy, it would be covered up anyway and he laughed. Michael talked a lot with the female employee next to us so I read my book on my phone. He then asked me what type of massage I wanted. I have never been asked that before for a pedicure so I said that I did not understand because I thought maybe I miss heard him. He said that they have the German massage, Japanese massage, he was pretty much being funny. I said that I would take a Swedish massage, I don't like deep massages, and he said that they did not offer that. I'm starting to get irritated at this point because we had recently received a poor diagnosis for one of our pets and honestly, I just wanted to relax and enjoy my pedicure. I said that maybe we should just skip it and he laughed and said no, it was OK. Surely this man could catch on that I did not get or appreciate all of his sarcastic jokes. After the pedicure, he took me over to his manicure station. Things were OK until he asked me what color I wanted for my nails. Now, to be clear, he had literally picked up and carried the color that I had chosen for my pedicure over to his manicure station. I said that I wanted the same color as my pedicure. He said no, today only I could choose clear, yellow or black. I asked him if he meant for the top or base color because I was really confused at this point. He just repeated that today, I could only do clear, yellow or black. I told him I didn't understand and he just kept repeating himself. I finally asked him if this was a joke and he said no, only clear, yellow or black. I'll be honest, I started to tear up. I pulled my hands away and said that maybe we should just not do this. He finally realized that I was upset but it was too late, I told him I would pay for my pedicure but I was done. I will say the young woman at the checkout desk was extremely kind to me when I told her what had happened. I understand that some people use humor as a way to interact with others and make them feel more comfortable but this was just Michael laughing at my expense, it was extremely cruel on a day when I really needed a little cheering up. read more

I was due for a manicure and pedicure , So I decided go try this place out since it was fairly new. The nail salon is very upscale when you walk in. The decor is beautiful, plenty of pedicure chairs and nail stations. The front desk host was nice, informed me there would be a wait about 45 minutes. No big deal for me since I was done with my work day. The host lead me to my pedicure chair, water felt great, and my nail specialist came over. She did not say anything when she came over, walked away, and then returned after 10 minutes. First warning for me, second warning was the young lady was so busy looking down in her pocket at the phone because it kept making the text message sound, third warning was she answered the phone while attending to my feet. Hellooooo they can wait unless it was an emergency but of course it wasn't. She did say sorry about being rude and I didn't react, I was too numb. Fourth warning she was too distracted because some girl kept whispering in her ear, I assume she worked there too hmmmmm..... I paid 48.00 for the horrific service and will not return. I can't wait to go back to my nail gal in San Antonio! read more
