They are quick and efficient. People running the place truly know what they're doing. Always able to squeeze me in when I call for a last minute appointment. 10/10! read more

I come here regularly for my fill-ins & pedicures and never leave disappointed. Owner & his wife are extremely friendly and ensure you get exactly what it is you're looking for. The space is a little packed out and hard to move in, particularly on weekends but considering how many people are there on a Saturday it makes sense. I've been going to Heidi recently for my nails and am very happy with her work. I am a very satisfied customer. read more

Vivi Nail Spa - Hard gel tips with gel polish by Heidi - Nail Salons Near Me - Islip Terrace, New York

My coworkers had been recommending Nail Salon for a while, and now I finally see why this place is so popular. I've never seen a nail salon so packed! I went on a Saturday morning for a pedicure and was still able to get seated quickly because they have a lot of staff working. The salon was very clean, and I really appreciated how careful they were about sanitation and protecting clients from infections. The technician did an excellent job on my pedicure. She was very thorough and professional. This is hands-down my new go-to spot for pedicures. I didn't try getting my nails done this time, but maybe next visit! read more

I have been a Vivi Nail Spa customer for over six years now. Jacky, the owner, and his wife are great people. The staff are friendly, and like at any other nail salon, you always find the one or two technicians you always go to. For me, that's Yoyo and Crystal. Scheduling an appointment is easy. The ambience is calm without tension from management. I highly recommend this nail salon. read more

I would leave zero stars if I could. This place is terrible. They nearly gave me an infection on all of my fingers. The lady who did my nails glued my fingertips to my nails and they all got extremely swollen. My fingers were burning and in extreme pain. I could not sleep as my fingers were throbbing and I was sweating. read more

This place is huge best 2024 for a reason. They have so many chairs I couldn't count them. The vibe was amazing. When I say they was booked it was crazy not an empty chair in sight. For my vacation I had to get right so I was told about this place. Once I walked in I was greeted nicely. I was the only man in there but I wasn't treated any differently. As I sat there people kept walking in. When you're drying your nails they give you a massage. It's a very nice place. Next vacation I will be back. read more

Vivi Nail Spa - Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Islip Terrace, New York

Easily one of the worst experiences I've had in a salon. I came in for a gel manicure with a simple polka dot design. I brought my own color and showed the woman that seated me the design. Another technician came and started my manicure. She was moving so fast and haphazardly, and kept telling me to "relax" my hands. I was tense because I was sure she was going to nick the side of my cuticle. She was pulling/cutting my cuticles so hard and ended up taking a chunk of my thumb cuticle. She did the manicure and forgot the design. When she got up to give me the massage I asked about it and she said it would be an extra $20 and she had to take off the top layers to do it over what she had already done. I told her to forget it. While massaging my shoulders behind me she reached around me for me to switch hands under the lamp and pulled my hair. All that and only got $5 off for the "inconvenience". They told me I could come back another day for the design, I said forget it and left. I've never left a poor review in my life and am generally a very understanding person but this was insane! read more

I am literally appalled by the service I received tonight. For context purposes I had a 6:30pm appointment. I arrived on time along side another client. I booked for a spa pedicure. I was seated 16minutes later as it is a Friday night I did not see any wrong doing. The place was packed. Almost instantly after being seated myself and the other client were started on our services. I was asked what service I wanted I asked for the $65 rose spa. Manager came and ask that I choose a different service because of the time again not my fault but I chose the green tea service for $45 instead. She thank me and the nail tech began my nails. She started with a simple electric filing of my toes and then I saw she started to wrap my toes with tissue to keep each toe separated then proceeded to paint my nails with a clear coat. I asked "aren't you going to soak my feet first?" She responded " yea after" I was perplexed in the face because I never experienced painting my feet prior to thoroughly cleaning and cutting my nails. So she asked after painting all my nails clear and one with the color pink I chose, " do you like the color?" I said "it's fine, but I don't like the way you're doing my nails" I then explained why telling her my feet aren't thoroughly cleansed. She ignored me and continued so I looked at the client next to me, am I wrong!? For context purposes I am black and the client next to me was white. The client next to me responded" No absolutely not, I've never seen that either" so I said I'm just going to leave the client next to me said no ask for the manager and get someone else. I'm asked for the manager she came and basically told me some people do nails different so I explained to her I don't like the way this tech is doing my nails and she said I'll be right back. She left and the tech continued to mess with my feet. After awhile I grew agitated that the tech disregarded my feelings as a client and management did nothing. Respect is given to a dog and I wasn't even afforded that. I literally did my nails with my mother and sister just the other day and sorry to say one bad egg spoiled the bunch for me. read more

I found Vivi Nail Spa on Yelp and read their glowing reviews. The photos shows the salon to be very clean and neat. You can book your appointment easily and quickly online through the Yelp chat system which made it so convenient. When I arrived I only had to wait a few minutes. Anita did a fabulous job doing my gel manicure. She did not rush and was very meticulous. She understood what I wanted and checked it to make sure I liked the color after it was applied. The business seems to be run very smoothly and efficiently and with the customer in mind. I'll be back! read more

Very good service. They took my appointment a half hour before. They are very busy within. A large selection of colors. I got a fill of acrylic nails with a fall red color. The vibe was good. read more

Everyone is so nice there. From the moment you walk until you leave. They try to accommodate you if you do not have an appointment. My nail tech is Apple and she is amazing. Any design that I show her she makes for me. She always does good work for me. When I get my pedicures I never have a problem with anyone. There was only one time I had an issue because my appt. got mixed up and so they gave me someone else. I didn't care for how she did my nails and then she was rushing because she had another appt. I complaint to the owner the next time I went and he made sure that I don't ever have that problem again.... Him and his wife are so nice. I will continue going to Vivi Nails and Spa in Islip Terrace......Good job ladies and gents. read more

I have been a loyal on and off again customer since you were across the street. Never once complained about anything. pay $40. for a gel pedicure and I think it should last more than 4 days. I understand that things happen and I just wanted it fixed. Made an appointment to fix it which should have taken less than 5 minutes All the walk ins took priority. I waited longer than the fix. No charge honey, really! I will never be back,! read more

went for a gel pedicure and callus removal, scheduled the night before, fit me right in. i was welcomed and given enough time to pick a color, then seated quickly. very timely treatment and beautiful work. lasted over a month with very minimal chips! such nice people, got me in and out in around 30-45min. such a cute place, may seem intimidating at first due to the size, but they run it very well read more

I no longer use this place because of cheap quality procts and rushed visits. It looks like an assembly line and is always overly crowded. The quality of work sucks. They do not soend the time filing your nails and use the cheapest products even when you ask for branded. read more

This is only my second time at ViVi nails but they fit me in so quick and they did an awesome job on my Gel-X nails.

place is terrible i'm genuinely confused how it got rated best of anything on LI. my friend recommended. went there it's a sweat shop jam packed have to squeeze through rows, very dirty!! nail dust everywhere. looks NOTHING like the pictures. my nail tech was sooo rude. shoved my hands away & couldn't use words like a decent human. couldn't understand a simple design of glitter on top of 2 nails. huffed & puffed and went on phone when i told her don't worry about design. everyone got massages at end, i didn't. super weird place shouldn't be running. won't be back read more

I have been to Vivi salon approximately four times. I have to say that the manager is a very nice man however the place is so huge noisy and when I leave there, I never feel relaxed. I've changed to another salon where I feel really, really comfortable. I believe most people go to Vivi to save money. They're very inexpensive, but I do not believe they're the best salon in Long Island because of their service it's because they're so cheap. There baskets overflow with trash and they rush their services. read more

Upon completion of this review, Jacky (the owner) had reached out to me to apologize and offered me a FULL REFUND! Thank you, and he even admitted it was their fault. However, that does not change the fact of what had happened. It's no surprise that he had reached out and asked me to remove the post. I cannot remove something that is undone, but I will do is provide an update of what transpired. Just because you give someone a FULL REFUND don't assume you can bend them to removing the review. I worship the lord who he is my only god. I think it's kinda disappointing that some businesses will reach out to customers to persevere good reviews/ratings of their business. When if the would of provided excellent customer service from the start they wouldn't of been in this situation to begin with. read more

I just moved and new to the area and it got exhausting traveling to my old stomping ground for my female necessities. No one personally recommended this salon, I found it here on Yelp and read the reviews and wanted to give it a shot. I've gone through a few salons and have been disappointed. I contacted Vivi here on Yelp and the owner, Jackie, contacted me immediately and set me up with an appointment for a powder manicure. When I arrived to the salon I was surprised how big it was inside and busy. I was early to my appointment as I usually am and i kept receiving apologies for waiting but I wasn't waiting long and I was early. Within 5-10 minutes I was put with this younger technician with dyed hair (I believe it was grey... I can't remember it was months ago). She was amazing. Very personable, kept checking in on the cut and shape etc. she kept saying "if you need anything done or fixed please let me know. Don't be shy" I started to laugh bc I'm never that that vocally picky person. I let the technician do their thing. But it's like she knew that there were a few times I wanted to say something. In the end I was pleasantly pleased with the salon and my technician. A month later I made another appointment because I was due for a fill in. I was pleased that it even lasted that long, since I'm an EMT and I'm constantly rough with my hands. Once again it was busy (but like any good salon, it should be especially ON Mother's Day. Which I forgot it was haha). This time I had two technicians one to soak off and one to give me the actual manicure. Most salons are like this so I wasn't surprised at all. This time around I was waiting longer then last time. I automatically assumed because the first time I was new and they had to give me their best technician. And that's perfectly fine. My second technician was a male which at first worried me. From prior reviews I read negative reviews in regards to a male. Well either I got a different male or the reviewers just had a total different experience. Because my guy was just as good as my first technician. One tip: I did have one guest next to me and since we were seating literally inches from each other, I couldn't help but hear some verbal transactions. The guest was asking for a specific look on her nails and unfortunately that specific technician she was with couldn't do it. HOWEVER, they talked it out and found something similar on their phones that BOTH the tech can do and the guest liked. So either be specific with what you want before sitting down with someone with what you want. OR be open minded and work with your tech! I apologize for the LONG review but I like to be specific with my feedback because when I come here for reviews I look for REAL REVIEWS. Not just a "good" "bad" etc. Definitely recommending and definitely returning. read more

Vivi Nail Spa - These are from my 2nd visit. Was obsessed how good they came with such a light sheer color. - Nail Salons Near Me - Islip Terrace, New York

Polite, prompt and courteous service at a reasonable price. I walked in without an appointment and was greeted and brought to someone quickly. The place was busy and slightly cluttered. The work station was messy and not very clean but reasonable enough. The tools she used were sealed. The buffer was new and they didn't charge more to buff like other places do. I wanted to get a pedi but they didn't ask and it was a holiday week so I didn't want to push it. I will just go back. Overall I sincerely liked the place with the exceptions mentioned above. I will return. read more

My first ever visit there yesterday and lemme tell you, i was scared at first when i walked in, it was sooooo packed and i feared i would have been there forever....BUT! Got seated right away and began my removal of the old set - the lady was very gentle and efficient. Then i got to my scheduled nail tech 'Apple', she was amazing, also efficient and did exactly as i asked her. I even tried a new nail shape and that also came out great!!! Made my next appt immediately . Everyone was very nice and made me feel welcome as a new client.... Thank you Jacky and Apple!!! read more
