LOVE coming to this place! Have been coming here for years and it is definitely our go-to for each and every time my bestie and I need a pedicure. The staff is friendly and work with expert hands and I've never been disappointed with the quality of work. Definitely intend on returning here time and time again! read more

While visiting Bloomington for an extended work trip, I needed to find a local salon to provide pedicure services in a jiffy since I neglected to get my feet done prior to my trip and my toes looked a hot @ss mess. After a quick web search, I found this place within walking distance of my hotel. Despite its mid rating on Yelp (3.3 on average from 32 reviews), I decided to take a chance on them because Google gave them a rating of 4.6 from a larger population of 331 reviews, trusting in the Law of Large Numbers. The Pros: * Online booking is available which makes scheduling appointments super convenient. Plus, a text to record the request. * Guang contacted me within 10 minutes of me placing my reservation online to clarify what questions I may have as a first timer. He was friendly and professional over the phone, and Meeting him in person was even more of a pleasure. I got service with a smile, he offered me a beverage (options soft drink or water). * Prices seem fair and are on par with what nail salons charge in my home state. * They have a Colors Galore! There are so many polishes to choose from and a wide variety of palettes and popular styles. * Also, they are very organized... I was impressed by how creatively they adapted two cube storage units (4x4 and 5x5 like the ones from IKEA) to display the plethora of polish bottles. I also saw the powder dip colors, but those are tucked away in wicker baskets behind the massage chairs. * God bless HELEN! She did my pedicure and did not disappoint. As a first time customer, I was pleased that I didn't have to give her much direction. She got the job done right with exfoliation and cuticle removal and her massage skills are stellar! (Low key a couple times I caught myself about to moan from the pleasure and had to hold myself back! LOL) The Cons: Zero negative feedback from me! But if forced to critique anything I would only be nitpicking to say that the beverage offerings included Pepsi (my choice), Diet Coke and water, but after the fact Guang had realized that Pepsi was in fact dunzo. This is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things considering that most nail salons I've frequented don't go out of their way to offer customers any refreshments. This was an *EXCEPTIONAL* nail salon experience for me, and for my next trip to Bloomington, I'd gladly forego getting a pedi back just to get the satisfaction of patronizing Vixen Nail Salon again in the future! read more

It was my first time here and I won't be coming back. On both of my finger nails and toes, the nail polish was painted right to my cuticle. It has been 6 days and most of the nail polish is peeling up around the edges. In addition, the manicure station appeared dirty. Very disappointing:( read more

Highly recommend Vixen nails. It is clean & welcoming. The technicians are skilled & really care about their clients. A great experience!

Yesterday my sister-in law and I made a last minute appointment for a basic manicure. We were seeking a black owned nail salon, and this place appeared in a Google search as black owed, but it is Asian owned. Hoping to support black owned small business, but everywhere we called we received a voice mail. When we arrived, we were pleased. We enjoyed the ambience of the establishment. We were't offered beverages or anything. We We're there for basic manicures for $25. It's nice small intimate setting with peaceful music playing in the background. They do line their foot spay tubs with disposable plastic bags, very clean, professional. I plan to return for a basic pedicure for $40 very soon. The location is nice. They gave us instructions to allow nails to dry an additional 30. We followed instruction. Still look great. We are satisfied! If you're not comfortable around cultures that speak in their native tongue, take your business else where. Otherwise, I rate them as good. read more

The guy at the front is very nice. Friendly. Offers you a drink and a basket of colors. The nail tech doesn't greet you. She just requests your hand to get started. She did my nails and cuticles. It looked ok (she left small circles on three of my nails) then bam. less than a week later my cuticles are shredding and the Gel polish has chipped on two nails. My nails polish is far away from my cuticles in less than a week. This is a crappy job in my opinion. She wasn't friendly when I left either but was worried about a tip she didn't quite deserve. I won't be back. read more

I wanted to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure and was trying to find someplace that wouldn't put a dent in my bank account and provides great service. I was able to make an appointment online (which is a huge bonus for me). When I walked in, the space was clean and felt relaxed immediately. My experience here was absolutely exceptional and can't believe I did not know about this place sooner! Everyone was very welcoming and so friendly! The pedicure was probably the best I have gotten - especially for the price! Tien did my nails and she was not only super nice, but very efficient. She took great care of my nails and they look fabulous! I am already excited to make my next self care day out there and would highly recommend Vixen Nails and Spa for an amazing experience. read more

I love Vixen Nails! So relaxing and they care that you are happy with the result! I couldnt make up my mind on a color and Kimmy was so patient and help me try a couple colors before I made up my mind! Thank you! I love my nails!! read more

This nail salon is in a non-descript strip mall not far from I494, at Hwy 100 & 84th. I found it because of the neighboring Aveda Max Salon (which is awesome). Anyway, I kind of felt like I won the lottery the first time I went in and got a pedi. Their prices (even for gel) are super reasonable and they did a great job! No, it is not the fanciest of places, and yes some of their pedi chairs are old in comparison to some of the new places around the cities. I didn't have a wait, they used hot stones on my feet and calves, and the place appears clean. I went a second time in September and got another gel pedi. I was the only customer and the employees seemed to be doing some self care and were not super anxious to help me but I did get taken care of and while I was there at least 5 more people came in. I added a flower to my pedi - which I'd never done and it turned out cute. Such talent. It will be my new fall back during the summer months when I get my hair done! read more

I scheduled an appointment a week out and they overbooked on the day with walk-ins and ran 20 minutes late. when I got my pedicure, the employee was nice but didn't cut my nails straight. it was quite noticeable on my big toes. if I had realized before she painted my nails, I would have asked her to redo it. read more

Best full set I have ever gotten. I don't know the name of my women but she did an amazing job, was fast, detail orientated, kind, and my nails look amazing! read more

I had a lovely pedicure here! My nails look great, and the upgrade to the 20 minute massage is well worth the money. The chairs were also some of the nicest I've seen around town. The salon itself was very quiet and calm, and I left feeling pampered and relaxed. read more

I had a pleasant experience here. Unlike some of the reviews I read, everyone was very friendly and it seemed like all regular clients were in at the same time as me. I got a gel mani pedi and she did a thorough job in a timely manner. $25 for a gel mani and $40 for a gel pedi is very reasonable for the metro. This might become a regular spot for me since it is so close to work. They were busy the whole time I was there so I would suggest making an appointment. read more

Just left the salon. Not a fan. Been here twice. Both times, they did not trim my cuticles. Did not have straight painted lines around the bed or sides of my nails. Painted up onto the cuticle. In 1 week when my nails grow out, they are going to look even more like trash than what they do right now, minutes after leaving. Not happy. Worst $60 ever spent. read more

I am probably not qualified to write a review for a pedicure or 'pedi', but because Yelp will let me I will. I realized the other day that from the ankles down, I strongly resembled a hobbit. It was at that moment I knew I needed to bring in a professional. This nail salon is close to where I work and was able to accommodate what was basically a walk up appointment. The salon was clean and had a bunch a nice pedicure chairs. The person that did the pedicure was nice and didn't talk much, just the way I wanted it. 25 dollars and 30 minutes later I was out of there. I even got a coupon for 5 bucks off of my next visit. I still probably wouldn't make for a very good foot model, but at least now I won't be recruited for Peter Jacksons next film. read more

I contacted the spa to get a manicure and pedicure.Said I wanted my nails buffed. Told that to the person who was actually going to do my nails. Upon completion told me they do not do buffing. Felt I was ripped off I would not recommend this place to anyone based on my experience. It's too bad I was looking for a place to go to every three weeks. In my neighborhood. This place will not be it. read more

Great experience today! I got a Great pedicure. The salon is very clean and bright and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back! read more

Very professional and kind. I am visiting from out of town for a wedding. I needed to get my nails done before the wedding. I always get worried when getting my nails done while out of town because the techs are not as consistent in their work. Vixen accepts walk in appointments and scheduled appointments. They were very flexible and accommodating to provide a stellar acrylic manicure and pedicure. The environment is peaceful, relaxing and rejuvenating. The staff are attentive to needs and details. I can be quite picky when it comes to the cuticles, length, shape, and if the nails all match. Kim gave me a great coffin shape with some fun neon orange color for the summer. She was pleasant to work with and we chatted throughout my appointment. She has a great eye for small detail and did not rush. The new management is wonderful. Offered water and drinks right away. I felt welcomed and comfortable I had a very peaceful and restorative experience at vixen. read more

1st EVER - 1 Star Review or basically any negative review for any company in probably 20 years. Sooo disappointed tonight. I've been a "client" there for 8+ years and after tonight, I am DONE. I've had so many friends who have left this business in the past 2 years due to rudeness and being treated poorly. I've always defended them - saying it was maybe just a misunderstanding, but over the past year or so (yes, I give people waaaay too many chances) - I've seen rapid decline in manners and treatment of guests/clients. My daughter and I were in there tonight (she's a 23 yr. old professional) and we both had different, but equally BAD experiences with two different employees. My daughter had eyes rolled at her for suggesting a different shape of nail & knew that the woman doing her nails, was talking about her to another employee in a very condescending tone. The result? She now has a few different nail shapes - ridiculous. I'm over how crazy it is that a few of them always laugh and snicker in their 1st language about the patrons that are there paying for a service and nothing more. Incredibly immature. They even talk bad about each other when the other isn't working or paying attention. I've seen that many times as well, VERY professional. I always go to the same woman for my fills and tonight she couldn't be bothered (again, I've been seeing her for years) to even say "thank you" after I paid her w/ a 20% tip (I always tip at least that much). I'm done with what my friends call her "bitchy" attitude. They're right - she's a jerk. I'm so mad right now (can you tell)???? But, I want to say that Jenny is GREAT- I always have her do my pedicures, because she is THE BEST. Unfortunately, for that reason only, I will be bummed to not be going back. Part of me thinks that I should see her anyway, because she's done nothing unprofessional and knows how to value a customer. . Unfortunately, it only takes a few bad employees to make it hard to give business to an organization that doesn't respect their clients. Happy to give the management of Vixen Nails in Bloomington, my name and phone number - if asked. Don't waste your patronage UNLESS you're going for a Pedicure from JENNY ONLY. There are many great salons with wonderful people out there! Bad customer service shouldn't need to be tolerated. Period. Rant over. read more

After moving to Minnesota I was struggling to find a nail salon that I loved. After being referred to Vixen by a friend, I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love this place. Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Tien is hands down the best and always exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Vixen nails! read more

I came here because I was desperate for a manicure. There wasn't a wait and they got my service done in a timely manner but they didn't offer me anything to drink and didn't speak to me the entire time. Normally this is fine but the workers chatted with each other the entire time and I felt invisible and awkward. If I were in a pinch for a manicure, I would go here again but only if I was desperate. Not my favorite experience. read more

It's been some time since I have been to Vixen Nails and they are now under new ownership. The place looks revived and they have new chairs for pedicures. Great experience. read more

So disappointed in the quality of the manicure and pedicure as well as the service. I had to wipe off the polish that got on my skin for the pedicure. Then I got a gel manicure and the woman got it all over my skin again. My nail was stuck to my skin and she didn't even care. If the total cost was around $20 then I wouldn't care. But I was not happy paying what I did for the service and quality I got. read more

I almost always get my eyebrows waxed here. When I walk in someone is able to help me right away. In and out in 10 minutes. I love how it's usually the same lady and she recognizes me and knows how I like my brows down. I've always enjoyed getting my nails done here too. It's super relaxed and not super busy in the evenings which is usually when I get my nails done. read more

I come here to get my nails done because it's conveniently located near my job. The ladies are always really nice and friendly and they have always done a great job with my manicures and pedicures. They used to offer paraffin wax dips with every manicure which was nice, but with the new owners, they don't do this anymore. Regardless, it's very clean and had everything you'd need in a nail salon. Word to the wise: parking can be a little tricky with Lifetime being so close. read more

Moved up to the cities and was looking for a new place. Nothing fancy looks wise but they do a great job and are super precise. The first time I went in I was going on vacation for 2 weeks and they said that if anything happened before I left that I could come back in and get them fixed. Came back in and they fixed them for free. After my nails lasted for both vacations! Have been in two times since! read more

Today was my second time here. First time I had Jenny and she was wonderful. She gave me a top quality pedicure that lasted me almost a three weeks. This time, second time was not so wonderful. My first mistake was not calling ahead of time to make an appointment with Jenny and I took the next available nail tech. I couldn't even understand the name of the lady that worked on me. I am just now walking out the door and I'm so so very disappointed in the rushed sloppy service I received. I even pointed out two blemishes and she acted like they where not there... Painted over them hoping that the thicker the polish the less noticeable so she would not have to redo it. Because of today's visit I will have to give this establishment a two star... Because I'm going to have to stare at these blemishes for the next three weeks. read more

Vixen is under new management and the service is exquisite. Very friendly, and excellent nail service. I'd definitely come here again.

First time at this salon and will be the last. Called yesterday to make pedicure appts. for me and my 13-year old daughter. Arrived today on time. We were barely acknowledged most of the time we were there. The nail techs had plenty of personal conversations but did not say more to us than asking what type of pedicure and then asking us to pay. We are not the types that want to have a lengthy conversation with the techs but do not appreciate being made to feel as if they are doing us a favor. read more

I went there for acrylics. The actual manicure was good and the acrylics were good but, they advertise nail design. But when it came to the nail design it was awful. Why promote nail design when you cant do it right or good. Also I payed for it and it was awfully done. read more

I came here because of the convenience of the location. Unfortunately the service was very poor and I received a very sloppy manicure.
