I have been a loyal customer for 4 years. Love this place so much! They always provide the best service.

I liked the salon a lot. They were very friendly and willing to listen to me as I was giving design feedback. I asked for a unique design and they delivered. I was very impressed with their pricing on gel x extensions. read more

I love VIP Nails . Tuan is the Best and I would never go anywhere else. Before I began going here I always had either a nail chip or completely come off after a week or two . Never with VIP , I just went on vacation for three weeks /out of the country and my acrylic nails still looked beautiful when returning. His designs are perfect and the best part he is so quick getting you in and out . read more

TLDR- The nail salon sent me to the ER and the owner called me heartless for wanting my money back, did not apologize and gave me a "donation" as she made very clear I needed the money more than her, yet she calls it a refund on paper. Since the owner decided to lie on the google review response here is what I have to say. Do not come here unless you want to get a skin infection. I had to argue with the owner for 15 minutes to get my money back and she gave it as a "donation" instead of a return of service for giving me an infection. I got them done and the next day I had bumps and boils everywhere and my doctor confirmed it was from the nail salon. I had to threaten legal action for them to offer a measly $30 when I paid $135. Do not come here for rude service unless you want to be patronized and accosted for getting your money back from the kindness of the owners heart. She told me that I "did not have a heart" for coming back here and wanting my money back in front of other customers. I am telling everyone I know to not come here and I advise you too. To respond back to the google review response as I said in the store in front of the other 5 costumers who you so gladly reminded me of I stated that I do not have any allergies and have been getting my nails done at various shops for multiple years without any reaction. I have always used my same products at home without any cause. In the review you LIED about I stated that I got my nails done on Thursday, Friday night I noticed the bumps, Saturday they got worse, and Sunday I went to the ER. Therefore I did not come in days after in an unreasonable sense. Also did you give me a refund or did you give me a donation? Because you specifically made it clear to me and everyone else that this was a donation and why do you need validation from your costumers to do something right over the mistake you made? This shop has horrible practice and very bad manners if I could have given a 0 star review I would. I wish I did call the proper authorities at the time in order for you to have to go on record for what you did to me skin. I only hope this isn't permanent damage... read more

My gf & I had a nice day date here this week. My nails look great. We both got matching gel manicures. Issues for others might definitely include parking because it's on the Square. However, it is a great location. Another issue is these folks are hustling. I mean I have never seen such multitasking in my life, and although I didn't negatively affect my experience, you're definitely not getting pampered in a long-term traditional sense like I've had at other spas. This is where to go to accomplish your nail 'missions.' They are right next to a few new fun stores and you can also grab a margarita at social Cantina before or after your treatment. read more

Vip Nails Spa - Veterans Getting matching gel manicures after a long week - Nail Salons Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Friendly, but overload on up sales. The stations were clean, but practices were not. Station cart was not clean: used files on multiple clients. Rough on nails: should be spa-like, not heard em' up and push them thru! read more

Great job on nails and pedicures. Don't always keep their appointments so you may have to wait. But quality is great. Friendly. Free repairs. read more

I'm not one to leave a bad review. I understand there were only two of them. But the women was rude to not just me but another woman. I believe in quality over quantity and they were accepting walk ins on top of the ones who had an appointment My nails are not that good. Luckily they are only for me to have a set and start getting used to them again. I really hope this was just a fluke and they are usually nice read more

Always a great visit to VIP nails. Thankful they are close by, usually open for same day appointment and always just what I need! Thank you for your talent and relaxing atmosphere. read more

Stopped going after a couple of tries, now I know why they have openings when others don't. Employee attitudes are condescending. The drill he used really damaged my nail bed. Months later now and it's still not completely grown out. read more

I LOVE this nail salon! Sometimes it takes a while since it's only two people especially if you're the type to just walk in however they are worth it! I come here every 2 weeks to get my nails done and they are so accommodating! The environment is so peaceful I just shut my brain off and give them all the trust. I get dip powder every time and have done red white and blue stars for 4th of July, different color French tips, chrome toppings, etc and it always looks so good! You can Venmo payment too which is so convenient to me! They are so nice and I feel so welcomed always! I highly recommend VIP Nails! read more

I've been here twice and each time ended up with BEAUTIFUL nails. Both the man and woman running the salon did my full sets and the first lasted a month until I came back for a fill. Can't stress enough how cute they were! read more

My daughter and I got our nails done here before a trip. The lady was extremely judgmental that 1) I was letting my 9 year old get her nails done and 2) I was taking her out of school for our trip. She also made my daughter feel uncomfortable for wanting Halloween nails in September. The woman who did my nails was extremely rough. You could tell she was in a rush and left some pretty rough edges around my nails. The guy who did my daughter's nails was also rough on her, as well. I specifically requested a black undercoat with a sparkly overcoat. Yet, the woman doing my nails got upset when she started doing them in a color I didn't request. The entire salon seemed pretty unkept and not all that sanitary, either. No cleaning of stations between clients. They're just trying to push people through as quickly as possible. Tons of nail clippings on the floor. Overall, it was not a fun experience and we won't be returning. read more

I had a set done somewhere else a week ago and one nail fell off, and since I was in town I just picked this place. The man helping me was amazing and quickly fixed my nail, and then I got a fill and new polish. He was super fast, helpful, and vry kind. For the fill, new polish (extra $5 for the specific gel), and repair it was $50, which I consider great. Inside is cozy and nice, but some music would be nice. read more

Yesterday, I had planned on getting my nails done so I called VIP nails but there was no answer. I decided to just walk in and when I did, they said "they're unavailable". I called later in the day to make an appointment for this morning at 11:30. It was a good thing I arrived 20 minutes early! They were either short staffed or taking too many walk ins. I felt bad as the staff was running around like crazy trying to keep up. (They did keep up, surprisingly) A gentleman did my nails and did a fantastic job. He made sure the shape of my nails was what I wanted and made sure I was satisfied. When applying the polish, I was nervous as my nails were only under the light for 10-15 seconds before applying another coat. They ended up drying perfectly. The only thing that could've made this manicure better was lotion! My hands felt extremely dry as I left. I would have given this review four stars, but you get what you pay for! The total for a fill-in with gel was only $30! (Not including tip) so I am more than satisfied for what I paid for! read more

Hours...... and I do mean many hours of waiting.... The manicurist got the unfinished nails on me, told me to go have a seat, took another client and left me waiting, this happened multiple times, when questioned..... I was told soon. Yes, I had an appointment!!!! I've never been pushed aside half finished, trapped and left to wait hours.... If not for my anxiety, I would Xyswuh-favgiq-4kyfxahave just left with unfinished nails. I'll never go here again. Never! Also, the lady was rude to top it all off. read more

This place is awesome! Even when there is a wait, they take their time on each client to make sure they are happy with their nails. They are so sweet and I always leave satisfied with their work. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

I went to VIP nails hoping to get a design on my nails. The man doing my nails at first burped in my face and kept leaving to do other things. He used the electric nail file thing for about 10 minutes and he put the nail extensions on and used it again. Then he put on the gel and none of my nails were even, he then used the electric nail file again which made my nails have bumps, on my left hand my ring finger looks bigger than my middle finger, but my right hand looks fine. I ended up not getting a design because I was to afraid he would make the nails look even worse, never coming again and wouldn't advise you to- not for finger nails at least. read more

Despite being called VIP nails, you don't get VIP service. You get very rushed service. If you get gel nails, you will have the gel hardened on your skin as well as a messy paint job. Not good. Having your old gel nails removed was a nerve wrecking experience too. The nail technician decided to use his own nails to scrape off the gel instead of using proper sterilized nail tools. Avoid. read more

What a lovely spot! I got an appointment almost immediately after I called in. I asked for a basic pedicure, which was an economical $25 before tip. Nobody even tried to convince me to upgrade to something more expensive!! The spa is furnished nicely with leather chairs, big windows, and lots of plants, making for a relaxing atmosphere. My technician was friendly and absolutely thorough. The massage was great and the pedicure is clean and neat. I'd definitely recommend this spot, especially because it seems like they have many returning clients. read more

I loved the way my nails turned out. I just got a regular manicure. I went there with a friend yesterday as a last minute thing. The shop was relaxing.although there was only 2 technicians they were able to get to all the customers in a reasonable amount of time. My technician actually talked to me lol. Most of the shops you go to the technicians talk amongst themselves and don't engage the customers much. I will be back for my next color change. read more

I had a great experience at VIP. The kind man who did my nails was great and did such a good job on my nails! I highly recommend.

I've had great experiences at VIP nails. I recently moved from the west coast and had high expectations for my nails. Tuan has done beautiful dip powder on my nails twice since I've been in Bloomington. He really makes sure everything is smooth and even. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dip nails in Bloomington. Friendly service and good prices. read more

This was the worst dip powder manicure I've ever had. THE DIP POWDER CHIPPED OR PEELED OFF COMPLETELY IN LESS THAN A WEEK!!! There is no need to use the LED lamp on DIP POWDER nails. my nail salon back in Vegas taught me that and my nails stayed on for months throughout quarantine done by my old salon. versus this place where I paid $40 for 1 week of crappy work... So disappointed. Not sure if this tactic was used on purpose to make the work not last as long so you're forced to come back or just a lack of knowledge on techniques... read more

Advertising walk-ins welcome and then get an attitude when you walk in and refuse you service. Awful place. Avoid!

Extremely rude customer service. I called to ask if they had time for a walk-in and they said no and hung up without offering to help me schedule an appointment. Place looks nice from the outside but it is clear they do not know how to treat customers with respect. read more

Vip Nails Spa - Asked for a simple, trendy design, got this. Tech was rough and made my cuticles bleed (ring finger). - Nail Salons Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The nails were fine but the service was absolutely unacceptable. My friend and I had an appointment for 1:30 and I had to wait 2 hours because the nail technician proceeded to do another girl's nails before me even though her appointment was at 2 and she came in after me. The nail technician was also very rough when filing my nails, he took off my actual skin and didn't even apologize or ask if I was okay when I visibly flinched multiple times. read more

I went there today and I'm so unhappy. He cut me and my nails look so bad overall. The nails are not straight and not even at all. Also I have nail polish all over my fingers. For being $45 for a set and being harassed to give a good review while he was cutting me was quite ironic. read more

I used to love VIP Nails a few years ago, but I just went and it was a terrible experience. My manicurist was rushing beyond belief and hurting me during the process. My nails are rigid, look very unprofessionally done, and it was a waste of time and money. I do NOT recommend going here unless you want to leave with rigid and awful nails. The tips are uneven/slanted and feel awful to the touch. The edges of my nails are not painted. Just terrible read more
