Service is quick and salon is pleasant but they could not care less about the final product, just mechanically do what they are asked. I had a colour change on my feet done and it looks very sub-standard. The nail polish bottle was dry and the technician had a hard time applying it. I could not see very well the final result. When I came outside I saw how un-even and choppy it looks and went back suggesting they apply another coat to even it out. The owner just said it's because your nail is not smooth and that was the end of it. No suggestion to correct or even sorry. Said next time use a different colour (not metallic). How is this helpful for this time? I won't be back. read more

Vivid Nail Lounge - Waxing Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I'm not sure what happened to this place but the service and the environment of this place has changed. I use to go to this one and the kits location prior to the pandemic. I came here couple of weeks ago to get a mani and pedi with my boyfriend. Upon my arrival, tv wasn't on. There was no one inside when we walked in. Two people came out and it was so strange as there wasn't an uplifting feeling or they just didn't care. The owner kept grabbing things for my nail tech like towels for my hand and let's and water for my mani. Issue is she (the owner) was rushing through my boyfriend and grabbed this for my nail tech and by the time my nail tech used these on me, it was cold!! Definetly not a place to go to anymore. You pay for what you get and it's very clear read more

Their service use to be good as I have been coming here for years. They use to do a good job but now they just rush their work now since they are short staffed or the owner just doesn't want to have more employees so she can save money? I go to the one in North Burnaby and the two shops is run by the SAME owners. They made my nails thick as I won't be coming to the North Burnaby location as often anymore. (Their prices are better than other Korean nail shops though as I will admit to that)! Even my nail tech in another nail shop was mentioning why my toe nails - why did they make it so thick that it so un natural. I went to a different nail tech person closer to my place so I can get it corrected. I did not know but she said she will fix it for me as she noticed. (For both my pedi/mani) read more

Love this place for a mani and pedi. I usually call to book and they usually have the timeslot I want. They do a great job and they work fast! They have lots of colors to choose from...takes me awhile to decide as there's so many pretty colors!! From my experience, my shellac nail polish stays on forever. I do like how clean and hygienic the tools and equipment are which makes me trust that they wouldn't do unhygienic work. The nail techs are friendly. They talk amongst themselves as they are all busy. Prices are decent. Also, don't forget to ask for a stamp card, you get a free mani or pedi on the 10th stamp. read more

Vivid is very inviting and clean. It's great for spa parties as everything inside is so girly and luxurious! They have a large selection of nail colours, and a large TV to watch for customers. The nail techs are pretty quiet throughout the whole service so TV is there to entertain you. They do a decent job painting nails. My nail tech had acrylic nails on while doing my nails but she worked it like it was her own nails, which was fantastic! No cuts, no bleeding. Reasonable prices and quiet nail techs. Will come again. read more

They have a huge colour selection and the price is very fair. The space is very clean and they use brand new tools for each person. They don't have fancy massage chairs or anything, but the couches are comfy. It was my first time so I can't comment on all the techs but mine did a really good job, similar style to how they do shellac in korea! I only docked one star because they started my appt a bit late and during they kept getting interrupted to answer calls. I will definitely be back! read more

My sister and I had a nail date and chose this place because of the reviews. The couches are nice but a bit worn and stained from nail polish. Otherwise, the nail salon is very clean, modern and relaxing. I wish there were massage chairs and coffee or tea served and it would have been perfect. However, the couch set up allowed for me to get a pedicure and my sister to get a shellac manicure at the same time while we were sitting next to each other. It was nice we were able to chat amongst ourselves. The staff are Korean and spoke in Korean to each other. Otherwise, they were mostly quiet and working on our nails during the service which was nice. We were seated right in front of the TV and could watch a movie at the same time. Nail instruments looked like they were sanitized and other supplies (ie nail files, toe separator) came out of new packaging. The place seems to be take care to not spread infection or reuse items communally. Also, there was a nail dryer to make sure my pedicure dried thoroughly which I liked. There is a stamp card loyalty program if you frequent this location. Prices are a bit higher. However, it might be worth the little bit of extra cost to know that clean supplies are being used. The pedicure was $34 and shellac French manicure was $50. read more

I just came back from my 2nd visit from the Vivid Nail Lounge! I like the simple layout. It was clean and it wasn't so clustered like most places. I just got a shellac manicure, so I don't know the quality of their pedicure. They are really different from the other nail places in the area. I didn't get the name of the girl that did my nail, but I liked her great attention to detail. She was friendly talked to me as much as she could. I didn't mind since she was concentrating on getting my nail design to be perfect. I like how they offer to fix any chips or if the jewel comes off within 6 days. Most places, Ive encountered would just fix the chip and be done. These girls buffed my nails, re-applied a top coat and made them look all new again! I enjoy watching what ever movie they have on at the time, it makes time pass by a lot faster. I got lots of compliments about my nails from my co-workers! I will definitely return in the future. read more

Read that the reviews say it was really good and went. Totally lived up to my expectations. Friendly service, quiet environment, total attention from staff and movie on. I'm not a fan of girly movies or romance movies but the movie sucked me right in and I really enjoyed my time there. $35 pedicure that was good in an awesome environment. They don't have massage chairs but the couches are super comfy. I'll be back for sure. They also have a loyalty program where your tenth mani or pedi is free read more

Vivid Nail Lounge - Regular pedi $35 and I'm totally happy. And no she didn't cut the nails that short - I had previously - Waxing Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This was a decent experience. Not amazing, but decent. It's just couches and you put your feet in a plastic tub; I'd prefer massage chairs, but this place had availability on short notice and my feet were scruffy and I needed professional help! The decor is pleasant and light and spacious, though. The girl who did my pedicure was sort of indifferent and impersonal, just doing a job - she seemed to be sniffling a lot and might have been a bit under the weather. But she did do a good job, and the other staff seemed a bit friendlier. For the price, it's decent, and I'd go back if I was in a hurry or on a budget. If I really felt more like treating myself, I'd find something more spa-like. read more

When I fall in love with something, I become OBSESSED!!! Been going to Vivid Nails for the (soon to be) year and won't be stopping anytime soon. Prices are fair, service is top notch and I refuse to let anyone else do my nails except Jessica and her team. Appointment times are definitely a little harder nowadays to get IMO (especially same day) but it's probably because all of Vancouver found out how awesome they are. But that's OK, it is well deserved!! I have to say, my nails were very weak and brittle before I started coming here regularly and although I still get chips every now and then...I feel as if my nails have gotten stronger/better somehow? Not gonna complain or even question it LOL I love you, Vivid Nails!! DONT EVER LEAVE ME!! read more

Called for a pedi quite last minute and they fit me in. Staff were really nice and the space is very clean. They dont use a bubble machine tub which is good since it means bacteria trapped in the jets dont get to your feet. Clean tools and brand new foam spacers for each customer. Good prices for a pedicure. Thank you Jessie:) read more

Overall this salon/lounge was great. But there is somethings they could fix to make the experience a 5. 1. They're a bit unprofessional, they used couches and sofas instead of proper salon chairs. It would make it just more like a salon if they used the proper salon chairs. 2. Hard to book. They are quite busy and I feel so that they should gather more employees that way you can get a booking quite soon. Overall this was a great experience here are some of the things I like. 1. They were very clean in their work and gave a great mani and pedi and a great shellac. 2. They were really nice. Something had happened that day and they gave us a discount so thank you. 3. It is extremely relaxing and they are nice and gentle. If it would start to hurt and you told them they would try to fix it. Here's a picture of my nails. read more

First manicure ever - had an interview and a wedding to attend in the same week, so it seems like a good time to get one. Picked Vivid Nails after seeing their good Yelp reviews and photos of others gorgeous nails from here. Called and was able to get a same day appointment at 5:30pm, I didn't wait at all even though I arrived 5 minutes early. They didn't rush me in choosing my polish, and I showed them a picture from Pinterest and they said they could do the same, with a $10 surcharge for the glitter detailing work (which they told me upfront). Spent a great relaxing hour sitting in their gorgeous little salon while Jessie did my nails (and patiently kept reminding me to tap my hand to keep the uv light on). Bonus: they had a girly movie playing on the big screen tv so I just got to chill out and enjoy being girly (something I do very very rarely!). I am THRILLED with my nails - they are exactly the way I wanted them, and feel very well done. Jessie gave me some tips for not discolouring my light coloured nails, told me that it was no problem to come back in to fix any discolouration or chips, and gave me privacy while I paid (and gave her a big tip!). I will definitely be back, and with my girlfriends in tow! read more

They did a nice, thorough job with my gel mani and regular pedi. Echoing what many Yelpers have already said: 1. Value: Their prices are reasonable for the quality of nail care provided. 2. Hygienic: Loved how all the tools were opened from sanitized bags. The also used tubs lined with plastic for their foot baths. Massage chairs with the foot baths with jets are nice, BUT they are notoriously difficult to sanitize adequately. 3. Quality work: Attentive work, they took their time 4. Service: Polite, professional service. The techs spoke Korean amongst themselves, but it seemed it was work related. 5. Parking is easy to find on or off Hastings. read more

Good overall. Was a bit unprofessional but other than that I liked it. It had a wide variety of colors to choose from. Instead of salon chairs they had couches and sofas. They did an overall good job with my nails and I'm happy with them. read more

I have been here twice now and highly recommend the getting a Mani/Pedi here. They use OPI and have a great selection of colours. The Staff are super nice and accommodating. Very attentive when applying colour to my nails. I was also super impressed with how quickly everything dried! No day one smudges - yay! Instead of whirlpool pedicure chairs they have big comfy couches with lot's of pillows to get you comfortable. Everything was super clean and brand new! Great décor and good location. I will definatly be back! read more

I went into Vivid Nails for a shellac Pedicure. My nail tech was very aggressively pushing my cuticles and cut my toe. The cut ran parallel to my nail and was the length of my nail. Saying this did not feel great is an understatement. I told her it hurt and when she saw it was bleeding, grabbed a spray of what I can only imagine was 70% or 99% alcohol and sprayed it. This also didn't feel great. She did not apologize or even say anything just waited for it to stop bleeding and proceeded to do the pedicure working around that nail completely. I emailed the salon the next day to let them know about my experience as it was still bleeding and received no response. I would never go back again and do NOT recommend at all. read more

My experience in here was excellent and I'll definitely come back to refill my nails. Their colors are very trendy and shiny because they put gel on top to make it more shiny and waterly look. I got my gel nails done without extension was $42 including tax and you can choose 3 different colors:) they also give you a stamp card so you can collect your points to get rewards:) very cute interior and colors are great! I love the color! Thank you so much for the great experience:) read more

Regular manicure pedicure combo. I did shellac for my hands and regular polish for my feet. It costed me $68! That's more expensive than the downtown salons I usually go to with massage chairs. After my manicure they dried out my fingers and only put lotion on my palms, neglecting the fingers. The services are decent but I'm not sure if the prices were worth it. read more

Vivid Nail Lounge - My fingers were dried after my manicure. - Waxing Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Came here as it looked pretty based on Yelp pics for a nail date. Place is clean inside with nice decor. It is Korean run and lots of workers helping. Pedicure was cheap. It's not in the massage chair tubs but rather a basic tub while you sit on a couch and watch a movie. They have an extensive nail polish collection both Shellac and non. They paid close attention to cleaning the nails and equipment was in sterile packaging. There is a stamp card to collect but mani and pedi are separate. They offered tea at the end which would be nice if they do it in the beginning. Place would be great for parties. read more

Not at all what I expected. I had thought paying 65 dollars including tip would provide me with the pedicure experience I had expected. This place doesnt have massage chairs... expect to literally sit on half of a couch. They then bring you a bucket of warmish water from the back that they ask you to put your feet into. The lighting in the place sucks. It's extremely difficult to pick a color when you cant tell what it actually looks like. My gel pedicure ended up being 30 mins long. Including my pedicurist getting up and leaving to answer random questions from her coworkers and to answer the phone. The service was severely lacking. If I am paying over 50 dollars for a pedicure with gel I, at the very least, expect your attention. Needless to say I will never come back here. If they want to do Express pedi they should charge for Express pedi. And maybe invest in proper pedicure chairs for clients to sit in. read more

I love this nail lounge! Decided to try it out cuz it is super close to my apt and glad I did. It's a korean-run place, really cute and clean white decor, tons of parking out front and around the corner. They always seem so busy, with the girls answering the phone, greeting walk in guests, and trying to handle the customers. Sometimes it's amusing just watching them do it all and rotating through their job duties. I got suckered into doing their Mani-pedi combo since it's summertime. I get the gel Mani and regular polish cuz I'm rough on my hands :) I have to say, I really like that they have a large collection of both the gel and regular nail polish! They are also very hygienic, using new nail cutters and other implements and having the pedicure foot soak in a basin with a disposable plastic cover. The nail techs always do such a fabulous job and make my nails look so wonderful... The polish lasts forever (like 4 weeks last time... I only got it removed cuz my nails were growing out). Anyways, can you tell I'm a fan? :) The only thing I would change is that they need a better ventilation system. Sometimes the fumes get to be a bit much. read more

A friend recommended this place so I decided to give it a try given other positive reviews on yelp as well. I have given it 4 starts instead of 5 due to my view of a 5 being an exceptional experience by both service and surroundings. This salon looks nice and bright, but it's not set up in your typical nail salon way. The mani station is a kitchen bar-like table with dinning chairs and the pedi stations are couches. Even though there are no massage chairs it was comfortable to sit and there are pillows if you need back support where you sit. The service was pleasant and they have one big TV screen which today played the movie "the break up". Good enough to pass the time. I went there to take off my two week old gels and just put on regular nail polish. Prices are reasonable. I paid $24 for my regular mani + $10 to remove my gels + tip. When I got there the tools that were used on me were from a packaged baggy so cleanliness seems to be something they care about. The girl that did my mani didn't wear gloves or a mask which I though was strange because I would expect everyone to be more aware of the harmful fumes they breath in all day long and the nail dust that came from my gel nail filling. In any case, I will definitely come back to get my nails done there gain. When I was paying the girls said that I should definitely come back if I have a chip or would like change of colour which I thought was thoughtful. read more

Vivid Nail Lounge - My regular mani from this am. They did a good job. - Waxing Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Went in to get shellac manicure removed with my sister, had a terrible experience. Not much care was put into the entire session. Examples: - nail tech was confused how to remove the shellac manicure, had to consult with another employee and both did not make assuring faces - my nails were completely scratched up and dull - could still see specks of the shellac nail polish colour on my nails after I left the nail lounge - they put a coat of nail strengthener at the end of the removal process and occasionally would apply on our skin and miss the nail completely (would not even notice that they missed the nail until we asked them to reapply on the nail) Deep regrets for coming to this place out of convenience. Be careful when choosing this nail lounge. read more

I come here every two weeks for shellac manicures! My nails have only chipped once and they have a chip guarantee so I was able to go back and get the nail fixed no problem! They spend a good hour on my nails every time so I'm not surprised my nails have only chipped once! I used to frequent another salon down the street that was cheaper but my nails would constantly chip and I'd be in and out of there in half an hour! I love how Vivid salon is bright and airy and always play the best movies! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is I wish they had the massage chairs for pedicures like other nail salons. If they added that feature this place would be absolutely perfect!! read more

Went here because of the good reviews but the results and customer service were bad. My shellac pedicure ended up with uneven colouring (blotchy colouring) and had bumps in the nail polish. There was an incident at the salon that the police had to come in during the appointment, so the salon was understaffed and they never apologized for the commotion or checked up on us. read more

Made appointment for a pedicure combo, paying $55.40 including tax and tip. First, they doesn't have massage chairs and let me sit on a very soft couch. It's not comfortable. The girl who served me bring me a bucket of warm water and asked me to put my feet into it. She lifted my right foot right away. (It should be at least soak for five minutes at other salon I had visited) and start to work on it, the nails was not soften to cut and it hurts. She did a rush job on feet and nail. The first time and last time, will not visit again. read more

Cute little nail salon. Staff were friendly, but not very talkative. Wide range of colour selection and really well pricedd. read more

I've been going here for my shellac manicure for 6 months now. Prices are fair. $40 plus tax for shellac manicure. There is also a stamp card for each visit and free pedi or mani when you have 10 stamps. Service: Hit or miss. I used to see this girl who had exceptional customer service but she left, now I see this korean girl with the short hair (probably manager) who does my nails and although she isn't the friendliest person; her manicure skills makes up for the lack of service. They offer to fix chipped nails free of charge. I've been there 4 times already to fix my chipped nails and they are totally fine with it. Overall: would go back and recommend read more

One of the really luxurious nail salon, stunning place and felt like a I'm in some 5 star spa, got my meni pedi done in so much peace and guess what they carry Chanel nail polish whatttttt yes and they were authentic --- how do I know because I buy them left right and centre every month If you are in that area go check this place out and they also stamp cards after each service yayyyy read more

The best nail salon I have been to so far. I'm highly satisfied after receiving their mani+pedi shellac combo service. The technicians pay great attention to detail and are very very skillful. They spent a long time (much longer than other places would) preparing my nails before putting colours on, so that the gel colour wouldn't chip or peel off easily. It definitely makes the difference as my nails still look like brand new after a week (I use my hands a lot! Normally the gel would start peeling off after a week if I went to other nail salons.) They also give you a short session of massage on your legs and hands in the end. Value added: - they offer to fix your nails for free if they chip off - they have a stamp card program. you get a free mani or pedi when you have collected 8 stamps (or 10 i'm not sure) I also really like their decor. It's with huge windows, clean and spacious. Since it's so close to my house, I think I know where I'm going for my future mani/pedi! read more

Was trying to find a place that was open on Sundays last minute for an event I had this evening and they were able to fit me in right away. Thr owner is very sweet and spent her time doing each nail. Decor is very cute and modern. All tools were sanitized and packaged. They have a stamp card system as well so it's perfect for people that get their nails done all the time read more

Great service!! Came in with a girlfriend to get our toes done, I also had my nails done. She was thorough and left both hands and feet looking fabulous! It's been over a week and my nails still look great. They did mention repairing chips for free but I for sure won't need it with the great job they did. Loved the movie playing and the atmosphere, will DEFINITELY be back. Miles above the other place I was going to (Vietnails). Also love the stamp card!! read more

The atmosphere in this place is great. Big high ceilings, nice white decor (includes comfy white high back chairs), and a giant ass TV screen that was playing a romantic comedy. At one point, I saw the lady open a cupboard to tons of DVDs. So you know that next time you come there will be another movie on. I feel this is super nice - considering other places I go are playing horrible day time TV or something in another language. I had a great time watching Maid in Manhattan and getting my nails done. Customer service was a little lacking in that I wasn't really greeted, or really talked to (which was fine, I just watched the movie), or informed about what was going on (left under the dryer not knowing how long I should be there or if someone was coming back for me. I did like that she said should I scuff after a day or two, to come back and they would fix it for free. It was just a very mechanical transaction nothing special about it. The actual nail service was good. I just got a polish so I can't say to much. I'd like to go back and try some other services. read more

So happy to find a great nail salon in my neighborhood. It's not as busy as the other nail salons in the metrotown area or Richmond, so I was able to get a next-day appointment at the time I want. Upon arrival, my nail technician Anna was already waiting for me so we were able to start right away, even though I arrived 10 minutes early. I was there for a Shellac manicure and Anna was very gentle and paid very close attention to every detail during the whole hour. And as expected, the nails are done perfectly. The salon is nicely decorated and kept very clean. Will definitely come back next month and recommend this place to my friends! read more

Hands down the best nail salon in the area. And I have been to most in the north Burnaby area over the years. First off the venue is beautiful, calm and feminine. All the technicians are polite and cute and most importantly- they take their time to making sure they do a good job! They don't rush you and give a fantastic massage. I've had several different technicians and they adhere to the same level of quality. Nice touch of a tea menu to choose a refreshment of tea. They have a loyalty card that u can build up for a free mani or pedi. It's a no brainer for me now! read more

They always do a good quality job and I trust their hygienic practices. I love the comfy couches, but I do miss the massage chairs and jet spa foot bath that other pedicure places have. Vivid nail makes up for it by the high quality work they do, the cool fun atmosphere, and playing fun movies or shows in the background. read more

If I could give them a zero I would! DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible customer service, very unprofessional, and downright rude. They were verbally abusive to a customer in the shop who was very respectful to them. They left her nails half done and forced the poor lady to leave for literally no reason??? They seem to have no regard for the treatment of their clients, so I will definitely be not be bringing my nails and money here ever again. Don't waste your time and money at this god awful establishment read more
