Such a great dip manicure, I considered moving to VA. I stopped in because I broke a nail while on vacation, and this shop was next door to the hotel. The photo below is 2 weeks later. My nails still look great, which is nice since we are all on COVID lockdown now. Super friendly staff. Very clean. Reasonable prices. Go see them! Dip details: Thin like a natural nail, and didn't even grow out with a hump. Such a great job! read more

What a relaxing place. Friendly family owned. Everyone was so sweet. I liked how the whole family helped me relax and have a great time. I also liked that they did not use the "grater" to get the rough edges off of my feet. She used the razor for the calluses and then she used a pumice stone then a foot file. I truly loved the whole experience. Mrs. Nuygen made it so easy to just relax. The foot massage was amazing. read more

This is my go-to nail salon. Tucked away in a shopping area next to Wild Birds Unlimited. The staff are friendly, work quickly but precisely, and always greet customers with a smile. I've been coming here for 5 years and will continue to do so. Thank you Viva Nail Spa! read more

Great place. Been coming here for over 10 years. Great customer service and work. Family oriented and professional. Have gotten manicure, pedicure and waxing done. Vibe is amazing. read more

I've came here twice and both times I left %100 satisfied. The place is pretty fancy but has a nice relaxing vibe. The service is great. They are good yet gentle. I received a pedicure and manicure. My nails were done flawlessly. I am definitely coming back! read more

Great family owned business, great atmosphere & always service with smiling faces! Highly recommended!

Came in for a lady date Mani-Pedi, and couldn't be happier! So many colors to choose from and we were able to get in right away without an appointment. The hand and leg massage as well as the massaging chairs put us in the perfect relaxed mood. We weren't rushed at all and I know I'll be back again soon. read more

Always polite personable courteous. They all do a great job. Always feel better when I leave.

The fact that I told her to stop touching my eyebrows and she continued and kept telling my my hair was too light and that's the reason they look That light is unacceptable... I went home crying and would never go here again read more

I'm sitting here getting my pedicure completed and I have to say this is the best pedicure experience I've had in a long time. You'd think in CA you'd get the 5 star treatment like you get here. This lady really focused on getting my cuticles 100%, massaged my lower legs, put a salt scrub on my calves/feet, then piled my legs and wrapped them with hot towels to soften! All this for $25! Ambiance: they have a screen tv on and the paint in the salon is beautiful. When you first walk in there's a beautiful crystal chandelier that hangs down. My friend and I were initially going to try expo salon but fortunately for us they were booked up and I'm so glad we found this place! Very happy to be getting in a plane tomorrow with cute pink toes in my flip flops! read more

Viva nail spa was wonderful, went here with several friends and one of their daughters. They are very family oriented, quick in and out for pedicure and manicures, and even have 2 small pedicure chairs for children which I haven't seen anywhere else. I really like that they have amenities for all people, even the little ones. I highly recommend this place, even though their pedicure components don't include hot stones or hot wax, but then again I didn't think to ask. read more

Terrible. Horrible. Customer service-less. Inexperienced young girls playing nail tech on my toes. Rude. That about sums it up. There was no greeting. I asked for a pedicure and was told to stick my feet into a tub of luke warm water; no soap, fizz, bubbles, absolutely nothing but water. I asked the girl servicing me if I could get something in the water like the patron seated 1 minute ahead of me to my left. Her response, "did you want more than just water?" WTF kinda' pedicure is it if you don't get the fizzies in the foot bath?! I will not EVER stop by this place again. I suggest you don't waste your time and money. read more

Viva Nail Spa - Quite frankly, the experience sucked. - Nail Salons Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

The best salon in town for service, pedicure, manicure anh take good care on customer

I came in the lady pointed to the seat sit , okay I sit . You clearly have a sign stating that you're not responsible for if anything happens to you doing covid while in their establishment. So the lady drops money picks it up and about to touch my face . I asked her to please Sanitize your hands before touching me . She gets upset and say I already did I asked her to do it in front of me please because of my own safety. She catch a whole attitude and I asked her why are you mad if you suppose to be safe at all time she continue to have a attitude. This isn't the only time she has been mean . I definitely will not come again . They seriously don't care about you hence the sign . read more

I went a few times with my mom and grandmother and had a good experience getting a mani and pedi. The last two times I went have been terrible and I will not be going back. I was charged more for a fill than I was the prior two weeks before when I got them originally on. My nail bed was filed too short when doing the fill and bled! It was awful. Lesson learned. read more

After being recommended to go here for a full set I decided to give it a try. I called on Tuesday and scheduled 2 pedicures at 5pm and one of those is also getting a full set for Saturday. I was told okay no problem. Come Saturday I was pulling into the parking lot when I got a phone call at 4:54 to ask if I was going to show up for my appointment. When I said yes I am pulling into the parking lot I got hung up on. I tried to be there earlier but with leaving work and coming from the other side of the James River Bridge that was as soon as I could (which was still not late). Walk inside and was told to pick a color. I picked a color and waited. Me and my boyfriend were then seated for our pedicures. Our pedicures were going great! As I am about halfway through my pedicures a man came up and asked about me getting a full set. I shows him the design I was looking to get and the shape and he said he could do that. He then comes over with mail tips and starts putting them on as I'm still getting my pedicure. He also put the acrylic on as well. I was unable to fully enjoy my pedicure as I felt very rushed. I then did not get the shape or design that I asked for. What I asked for is the first 2 pictures (shape then design) and the last picture is what I got. Needless to say will likely not be going back! And if you want a full set and pedicure schedule it for different times or days! read more

Upon arrival, I noticed the place was completely empty. This should have given me a clue to the service I was about to receive. There was only one person working, a first for me in all the years I've been getting my nails done. I do a thin layer of acrylic and shellac polish every time. The salon I usually go to is closed on Wednesday's but I desperately needed a manicure. I figured it'd be ok to cheat on my normal spot one time. There are no samples of the different color gels they use. Just have to look at the bottle. The lady who did them, I believe she's the owner, was pretty gentle. I have my nails oval shaped.. She did a terrible job shaping them. Four of my nails are very oddly shaped.. And it'd obvious. Her kids came in after school with her husband. She filled my nails, filed them but her husband painted. The paint job is the worst I have EVER gotten. It looks like I painted them, not a "professional". One nail is not completely painted, all of my cuticles have polish on them and the polish bubbled. While he painted, she was getting a pedi from one of her kids. Also, half the time she worked on my nails she was on the phone. Rude and unprofessional. Highly not recommended. My usual spot is across the street, much better! read more

I have been going here for years. It's such a convenient location if you live in or around Kiln Creek. I usually just get a pedicure but I have a special event coming up soon so I also got a gel manicure. I feel like everything is clean and sanitary and my nails look great. read more

Have been going to this place for years. The nails last a long time, the staff is friendly, they have an adorable dog. Would recommend!

I really wanted to like this place. I was there for over two hours for a manicure. The young lady had no idea what she was doing and a child gave my daughter a pedicure. Would not suggest this place to anyone!! read more

I USED to be a loyal customer for a pedicure from the daughter until I decided to let them do a full set of nails! The man tried to convince me to get something more expensive and I said no he left me sitting there for over 30 minutes then wanted to charge me 5 dollars extra for a gel TOP COAT after I took my own polish!! The wife got mad because I said no and I got up with wet nails paid and went somewhere else so they can finish the job! They will never get a dime from me again!! read more

I moved to this area in 2011 and had been disappointed in other establishments before finding this place. The reviews of "rude" by others are completely unfounded!! The owners are very nice and kind and I've never had to wait longer than 10 minutes no matter how busy they are. They remember me when I walk in and recall conversations from my last visit. It is very clean and they are all VERY hard workers. I talked to Jimmy, the owner, and was completely humbled to hear where he came from and how he and his wife Kim have created this successful business incorporating their children in it as well. This is a great place to relax and enjoy a girly kind of day!! read more

Avoid this place. Rude self-absorbed owners. Beyond worse nail salon service ever. Spend your hard earned money where tbey appreciate you as a customer. And don't ever have a pedi here unless you test the tub water..... Scalded my foot and they laughed... seriously!! read more

Horrible! Went in to get the new dip manicure. They said they only had a few colors bc it was new...that should have been my first clue! They took off my current dip nails then grinded my nails down to practically nothing. In the process she cut my thumb with the grinder thing and it bled a lot and is very red and sore today. I changed my mind and decided to get gel. The color I picked she couldn't find(ended up being on my friends table). So I picked another one. Two ladies worked on me. I was never offered a discount or anything for them cutting me, all they did was say sorry. On top of all this they were so so slow...we were there for two and a half hours! Freaking serious? My nails are so thin I feel like if I do anything they are gonna break I have never have gel that I felt like thay was gonna happen with. Definitely a waste of $35 since I will have to get them done when I return home since I am visiting. My friend I was with her nails look like bubbles they are so thick it's horrible not to mention her daughter got a pedicure and one of the ladies daughter did it she might have been 13/14!!! That's illegal! Not to mention we should not have paid full price for that but we did. This place is a pitiful excuse for a nail place! read more

I've been here twice already for pedicures. The place is not beautiful and the pedicure chairs are not amazing. With that being said, the owners wife and her daughters are extremely nice and polite. They take their time and are extremely meticulous to make sure their job is done right. I will definitely return for more pedis! read more

Under new business and they charge really expensive. I usually do France tip manicure on my nail and regular tip on my toes for 35-40$ but here they charge me 60$. Not recommended to go there and I am not going back there again too. read more

I came to this salon on Sunday for mani and pedi. The service overall was horrible. The young guy who did my pedicure was very inattentive and ineffective. The pedicure started wrong when he clipped too much of my toenail and went down hill from there. Everything from the polish job to spa treatment went wrong. I personally would recommend you save your money and go elsewhere. read more

DON'T GO HERE! First I have gotten my nails done several times and I know how a gel manicure should be and this was not done correctly and now my nails are all chipped and it has just been a week. The girl was so inexperience I could tell. She would only paint two nails at a time and make me cure. This caused my thumbs to not cured like they were supposed to. I also, could tell her inexperience because other employees kept coming over to check on her! I really did not want to tip but I felt bad. Secondly, it smelt like WET DOG when I walked in. How gross! I knew I needed to leave, but I was meeting up a friend up, plus my normal lady at a different salon was visiting her mom in Vietnam. I would seriously never go back to this place. Now it's christmas and I feel like I need to go get my nails redone because of this terrible job. This should have lasted for 2 weeks at least! To say the least I am annoyed with the unprofessionalism they showed. If the girl wasn't ready to do nails don't put her out! read more

Mixed reviews. The older lady (maybe owner?) has always been very good and thorough. A couple of the daughters are very good as well, however on my last visit I had a very young, very inexperienced girl who was careless and just plain did not listen. She hurt me when trimming my toenails, but I returned since in over 2 years that had been my only bad experience. When I went back, I got the female owner and my sister unfortunately got the "Painful Pedicurist ". My sister yelled STOP 4 times and jerked her foot back because it hurt so much! But the girl kept going at it. Another family member apparently had to translate the word stop. How hard is it to understand pulling your foot back and yelling ouch! !! Probably won't be going back, which is too bad because I really like some of the ladies. (Never had any dealings with male owner...he is a little creepy to me) read more

This place is the worst! Their colors are old and I have watched them pour nail polish remover into ones that are too thick. Recently I got a gel manicure and the polish started chipping and lifting 2 days later. I was out of town for work and my nails looked terrible. The day after I returned home I stopped in to show them and asked if they would re-do them. Since it had been exactly a week they refused, even though they could see where the polish on every nail was lifting. My previous mani from a different salon lasted nearly 3 weeks and was less expensive! read more

I have been a client at this spa for a number of years. The owners and some of their oldest girls do a fantastic job. The younger girls are often there. They are quiet and sweet. They are a hard working family and it is obvious that their 5 daughters are learning the value of hard work and the value of a dollar. The place is spotless and their cleaning of tools thorough. Their attention to detail keeps me coming back. There is ample parking. They take you first come first served or by appointment. The hours of the shop are very convenient. They have massage chairs which really add to the relaxing experience. When having a pedicure they even massage feet and legs and provide hots towels and an envigorating scrub. This is above and beyond my past experiences at other spas.The spa offers other services as well. They are priced reasonably. I have tried other spas but have found this one to be way above average, especially the cleanliness. I look forward to my girl time at Viva Nail Spa and will remain a loyal customer. read more

Went here with a few of my friends to get mani/pedis and each of us had varying experiences. One of my friends had a girl who was very good, nice, and professional. The other two had women who got the job done and were efficient. I, on the other hand, had a horrible experience. The man who did mine was more concerned with getting the most money out of people throughout the day. He was very very careless with me, cutting my cuticles on my feet, making me bleed because he was watching the front door for new customers rather then watching what he was doing with me. He took about two seconds to paint my toes and was quite aggressive with the scrub and pumice. He also keep coughing on me. When it came time to do my nails, he would just disappear for extended periods of time to take care of other customers and just leave me sitting there without any idea of what was happening, since he barely said a word to me the entire time besides the occasional bark of an order. He clearly did not care whether or not I would ever come back since he already had my money for the day. I only give this two stars since my friends had better experiences. Would definitely never come back here. read more

TERRIBLE place for a Spa Pedicure. My first and only visit went like this- I was greeted as I entered the store. I informed the gentleman-I wanted a pedicure. He then replied do you want a manicure too and I said "No", just a pedicure. He then said how about a mani and pedi? I repeated myself and said "NO, just a pedi! I picked my color and sat down at the pedi station and began soaking my feet. A older lady came over and said "you want a deluxe pedi"? I asked what is the difference and she stated "more pampering". I decided to stick with the regular pedi. For 25 dollars, I received trimmed nails, filed nails and cuticle oil on my legs, and hot towels. She then stood up got a phone and made a call. She spoke in her language and then took off the towels, tossed them in the tub and painted my toenails with only a base coat and one coat of polish. She then got up, walked away and helped someone else. She didn't wash her hands or say anything to me. Don't waste your time or money! read more
