I love VN Nails! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owners, Lee and Lily are wonderful and they run a very clean, friendly and professional salon. Blanca is excellent! She does my pedi and my eyebrows, I love her and feel very comfortable with her. Danny does my mani-gel over acrylic and he is excellent. Lee and Lily are also excellent with gel and acrylic. I have been going to them for over 25 years, have watched their 2 daughters grow into beautiful young ladies, and plan on being a happy customer for many more years to come. Try VN Nails, you will be happy you did! read more

I have been here three times in the last couple of years and they NEVER fail to ruin my nails. Every time I've gone, I've had strong healthy nails and a couple of days after every manicure I've gotten there- my nails begin to break in the worst kind of ways! I am never going back and I strongly suggest that if you like your nails, you go elsewhere! read more

VN Nails - five days after the manicure (NOT EVEN KIDDING) - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I have been going to this Nail Salon for the past 8 years and they have recently renovated their salon. I live on South Beach and I drive to this salon because they consistently do perfect manicures and pedicures for a great price. Yani is the best and I know that I can get a great mani/pedi that will last a week and a half and get it done in an hour! When I don't have the time to go to this location I try another spot and regret it when I do. Like any other nail salon, this place gets busy on thurs, and fri afternoons, but they have expanded and added more manicurists. read more

VN Nails - I love summer colors!! Happy 4th!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Love this place! Yes sometimes it's busy but good things come to those who wait. I'm a loyal returning customer for years with no complaints. Some of the reviews complained about the wait time... I'd rather visit a thriving nail shop where I need to wait as opposed to a business that no client refuses to visit. The long wait translates excellent quality of work awaits. And as far as the noise people complain about in their reviews... it's quintessential Miami. We are a louder city. Lee and his staff are amazing! The quality of work they produce is amazing which is why I go out of my way to drive to their salon and visit my nail lady. Take a book or listen to music as you wait. Your nails won't regret it :) read more

I used to go to this salon years ago but until the nail tech I went to there ended up leaving. I decided back in June/July 2022 to go back because my nail lady moved her business too far from me. The tech I got was wonderful and I went consistently to her for about 4-5 months until I tried to get an appt to see her and she would not respond. I ended up going and asking for her and she said she had someone else. The girl they gave me, Dani, was awful from beginning to end. The previous tech never charged me for hard gel and I assumed it was included and I can't do my nails without it because I've always had soft nails and I work in healthcare so they don't last otherwise. I told Dani that I needed the hard gel and after some back and forth saying she doesn't do that she said agreed to do it. She soaked my nails and did my pedi (which didn't end up lasting) When she took my old gel off, she said she refused again to do the hard gel. I asked if I could get someone that will do it and another girl lent her the bottle. She had an attitude. The gel wasn't curing correctly with the horrible UV lamp she was using and ended up blaming me saying I didn't know how to put my hand inside. Someone else lent her a lamp and it ended up curing correctly but she still blamed me for the mistakes. I had a cut on my hand that was closed and she ended up squeezing it painfully with a cotton ball soaked in acetone and reopened the cut for no reason. Then she was charging me $20 more than I've ever paid there. When I spoke up they asked nail tech I had always gone to and she lied saying that's what she always charges me which isn't true. I even looked at my bank account to verify. 4 other ladies ganged up all going off on me about the price so I paid the $20 more and left. Don't think I'll ever go back after that. read more

The deluxe pedicure is fantastic. The massage lasted 15-20 minutes and my legs are still tingling from the mentholated mask. The manicures are quick and good, especially for $12. Unfortunately, most of the women who work there don't speak English which makes communicating with them difficult at times. Two great experiences, despite being kicked off the dryer last time when no one was waiting... read more

Worst experience ever. I went Friday afternoon after work without an appointment after my sister in law recommended the place because my usual nail place was closing in 20 minutes. The wait wasn't too bad, 15 minutes all I needed was to redo my gel mani. As soon as I sat in the chair the nail tech tech ushered me to, she walked to back and I didn't see, or hear from for almost 6 minutes. Then shows up with no explanation and begins to file my nails. Then I place my nails in the water to soak and again she gets up and walks away. That was the first red flag. She pulls this stunt two more times and finally tells me she was in the back eating her crackers with cheese because she was afraid someone was going to eat her food! At first I thought she was joking until she stopped every 2 seconds to tell her friends next to her what had happened. A gel mani turned into an hour and 30 minutes of this crap. Then while cutting my cuticles, she made two of my fingers bleed. I should've left right there but I was leaving on vacation the next day to Keys and it was too late to find anywhere else. Never again. And I forgot to mention the two colors I had chosen before hand, weren't even in stock. The worst. Find anywhere else. read more

I really love my nails! I was in station #2 with Pham (I think is his name) and he was very good. I got a full set of acrylic nails -- he was very good at shaping (rounded) and very attentive to detail. Also he was gentle with my nails (no pain), unlike sometimes when people file too hard and it hurts. I gave 4 stars because the atmosphere isn't the nicest. Overall I'm very happy and will come back. read more

VN Nails - full set, rounded, essie color - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

they always do a good job on nails, but I have never been able to be attended immediately. They have no appointments, and even if you call to ask if it's busy, they say to come in and you end up waiting a while. Very cheap also, mon-wed they have a special. read more

I've been coming to VN nails and doing my gel mani / pedi with Tami for over 5 years now. When i started coming i use to go with who ever was first available and never had an issue with any of the other girls, they all work pretty good. I've also done my acrylics here. Tami takes her time and perfects my nails every time, she's also super sweet! They open really early on Saturday's and i usually try to get there around 8 so i don't have to wait, sometimes it gets slammed. Comfortable massage chairs, always super clean. read more

This place is great for the price. Gel mani & French pedi for $55! Lots of girls working do the wait time isn't too long! Wish they would massage more during the pedicure! read more

VN Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I think my nails look worse leaving the salon than they did when I got there. when I got there, they made me wait 15 minutes to then sit me with a guy who was doing NOTHING the entire time I was waiting. so I was already annoyed. I then had to choose three different colors because they didn't have any of the colors I requested. it took this employee an hour and a half to do a full set. never in MY LIFE have I had a full set take longer than an hour. I didn't even want anything crazy, just a regular red full set. I kept having to tell the employee what to do, he was so careless with my nails. I figured if it took him an hour and a half my nails should at least look decent. they're all super uneven and crooked. they couldn't achieve the coffin shape, some nails are more slated than the others. and to top it all off, the environment is super uncomfortable. the staff is always gossiping super loudly and while I was there an employee even started yelling at her boss in front of a store full of customers. super unprofessional and super untalented. read more

VN Nails - crooked manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

although they're work is good, I had a very negative experience the other day. I'm not sure of his name but there is only 2 men working there and one of them made me have a very uncomfortable experience. in a way it was sexual harassment, he kept touching my legs and pulling me closer to him and telling me to lean back and relax. at one point he told me that next time I wear a dress instead of jeans that way we can "flirt". I felt uncomfortable and just ignored it all. later on the women workers told me he often does that to the younger ladies and doesn't talk to the women he's not "interested in". just be careful next time you go, and if you're going with your young daughter I reccomend you keep an eye out. read more

I have been coming to this nail salon since I was 17! I absolutely love it! The owners are beyond amazing and the staff members are very nice. Every two weeks I check in for a mini vacation at VN nails. :) A+++ read more

VN Nails - New Years - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been here twice before and LOVED Lee's work but the shop is super disorganized. I brought a friend after bragging how good his work is. Yep we get our pedicures and the girls who attended us didn't bother to inform us that he was going to get up from his seat to go watch a boxing match and come back later. No, in fact I was told he left for the day. So we're waiting for about 45 minutes when I speak up and we get seated with two other men who also do acrylics. My guy (Danny) was pretty rude and my friend's nails came out awful. Imagine our anger when we're done and we see Lee sit down at his station again! Does anyone there know what's going on? Between the pedicure techs not following up with us on what's going on and the bad work done when Lee wasn't there, I'm never going again. read more

I went to get my nails done here yesterday. A mani/pedi took 3 angle a half hours!! Which was extremely frustrating. After ONE DAY my nails were all chipped. The woman who did my nails didn't really clean around the edges well, even when I pointed out spots I wanted her to clean. She mentioned it was the color that stains. The kicker, when she was cutting my cuticles she clipped me so bad I was bleeding and she had to stop. Then she put alcohol, which burned! The next day I bumped my finger and started bleeding all over again. Overall...HOT MESS. I expected more from this place since they're more of a chain nail salon and not a mom and pop kind of place (although mom and pop nail salons are clearly wayyyyy better). read more

VN Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

Good color selection, my nails last over 15 days. I go 3 weeks sometimes. And they don't break they are long!

Everyone here is so extremely rude it was awful. They literally don't care about losing a potential regular client. The girls walk around and don't pay attention to you. For $12, there are a ton of other options. P.S. for $12 I'd expect a clean towel and decent brand of hand lotion. If you are looking and expecting cleanliness think again. read more

MARTA IS MY HOMEGIRL! I just got my nails did on Friday after my extremely positive experience at South Beach Waxing. Marta opens up a can of whoop-ass on your calluses without the stabbing and (often) BLEEDING that comes along with an inexpensive pedicure. Trust me, I have been through some pedicures that were modeled after Vietcong torture tactics and my anguished moans were met with either stone silence, exasperated sighs or laughter. Marta is sweet as can be and took equal care of my hands, no smudges or mistakes. She was able to match a polish I saw on Drew Barrymore in an issue of Elle RIGHT ON THE MONEY ("Really Red" by Essie, it's a hot tomato-red that's so sassy I hope I have a chance to throw a drink in someone's face before it chips). I can practically walk to this place, my only beef is with the stupid Dadeland Station garage parking. Tremendo mission on the weekends. read more

Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience my first time, and will not be returning. I decided on 2 stars even though my experience warrants 1 or less. It was the Friday before Mother's Day (early afternoon--there was no wait time and surprisingly there were a few technicians that weren't busy) and I knew it was going to be tricky this day, but the positive reviews on here helped me make up my mind! Bad idea! Parking was easy because it's in a shopping center. They have a numbers system (like at the deli) which isn't clear, because you also have to write your name down on a clip board? I was there for a regular mani/pedi. They take credit card for services, but only cash for tips. If you don't have cash with you, they suggest for you to go the CVS next door to take out cash. Really? My technician was nice and welcoming, but once we sat down and I gave her both my hands she looked me dead in the eye and said (in Spanish--literal translation) "the last thing I feel like doing right now is hands and feet." I was in shock and didn't even know what to say! She made me feel so uncomfortable, but I started making small talk with hopes that her spirit would perk up. She proceeded to complain about her long hours, and added racial comments about her co-workers which I didn't appreciate. Despite all this, I was still giving her the benefit of the doubt! She was actually pretty good at removing cuticles, and I was actually enjoying myself, but when she asked me what color I wanted she said (in Spanish--literal translation) "oh my goodness what a horrible color!" Insert shock faced emoji here. Again, didn't know what to say. Feet were next. I had a pleasant conversation with the customer sitting next to me, so I only realized that the technician added too many coats on my toes when I looked down and saw a chunk of paint slipping off my nail. I didn't dare to ask her to fix it, and she of course didn't offer. Went home and re-painted my toes. So disappointed. I didn't get the technicians name, and even if I would have, I wouldn't put it on here. Everyone has bad days, I get that, and I really tried to make the best of it, but having to re-paint my toes for something I paid someone else to do, is just not cool. read more

New and improved! They knocked down a wall and expanded to include 20 manicure stations and 20 pedicure chairs! Always neat, clean, friendly, and prompt! They use new, sterilized, pre-packaged tools for each guest. Rarely is there a wait, and best of all they are inexpensive! read more

Came here today for the 3rd time in my life and although they paint nails just like any other place, the wait time is ridiculous. I understand a lot of woman like going to the salon for social hour but geez!! I sure don't have time for that. I got there at 6 pm and left at 9 pm. The same thing happened to me the last time I went. I may be a little anxious but it just drives me crazy to have to wait so long. So, unfortunately I wont be back here because I just don't have the time. read more

I love this place!!! You can't imagine how they've grown since they first opened in the roads when I was about 15. The wait has been minimized and all of the employees are so very nice and so funny, too! They have great deals Monday-Wednesday. read more

Wonderful experience! This will now be my go to place. There was no wait when I arrived and Jenny who was very friendly took me in right away. They have great selection of opi and essie colors. Jenni was a perfectionist, she did an amazing job! On a Monday (I got the deal) I ended up paying $45 for a gel mani and regular pedi. I totally recommend this place and will def be back. read more

The nail tech spent more time gossiping and eating snacks than on my nails. It was though my coming in was a huge imposition on her day. Will not be coming back here, even if the mani/pedi was a good deal. read more

ok, this is going to be a weird one star review. i've been a foot and hand model for many years, so have had more than my share of pedicures and manicures. i ain't no 10 buck cut 'em and polish 'em gal, though i'm not above trying the non-spa places. those are usually where you actually get the best overall experience. most of my time at vn was indeed good... well, the first part was a little odd - i had read the reviews to take my own polish, so i did, thank goodness, because i actually tried 3 of the colors on the wall and they ALL "separated" (i.e. they looked like i had klingon skin right over my nail) the ladies were all fabulous. my technician, laura, was especially sweet. and yes, as noted in other reviews, she did some magic on my cuticles. her pedicure was fine (the chairs are the normal massage chairs, though - nothing to write home about) as was her manicure. i wish that they were more efficient and done at the same time, but they switch you from the foot-only area to the manicure tables. the clients were also a hoot. i met some fun ladies - all more than willing to talk about which restaurants to go to, where they used to live (several recent transplants among us finding our way through the city) and all manner of lady-speak... though i actually did see 3 gentlemen getting their nails done (woo freakin' hoo for that!!!) i got my keys out and paid before polish (of course) and afterwards (using my polish, but their base and top coat) i dried TWICE, just to make sure that they were chip-proof. i sat in that little chair with my nails under the light for 20 full minutes. i got to my next appointment (which, believe it or not was a hand modeling audition - greeeeaaaattt) and realized that i had 4 (4???) dinged nails. now, again, i'm no nail newbie... i know how to delicately treat a manicure. so 4!?!?!? and they weren't chips, 3 were literally gashes on the nail into the paint. the fourth (which i'll upload a picture of) was insane - it literally had slid off my nail! you can't really tell in the pic, but it looks like waves receding from a beach. there's no gash or mark, but the polish literally buckled and moved to the side, creating waves of polish. i couldn't tell if it was because of their top/base coat being horrible, or if the polish was simply too thick. i'm guessing the former, because even with thick polish, it should stick. bottom line - i paid almost $40 including tip for this and i had to change it when i got home, not to mention explain to the casting director that i'd JUST had a manicure. really. much as i loved gabbin with the girls, a better bet for that $40 would be 20 minutes with a good shrink. read more

VN Nails - bad base coat + too much polish = bad manicure (polish slid off!!! AND was dinged even though i dried TWICE) - Nail Salons Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is a hidden gem and I love them for my acrylics. Since moving to Miami I have found it super hard to find a place that does them like the nail salons in NYC and this place is fantastic. They also are really reasonably priced which is great ($24 for a new set, $12 for a fill in). I deducted one star because they don't have the best or freshest selection of polishes, but that isn't the end of the world (I like to bring my own anyways). read more

I've been to this place since I was a kid when I would come watch my mom get her nails done, and now I get my own nails done here. Everyone is awesome and they do a great job with my acrylics! I don't know how anyone has anything negative to say about this place.. Absolutely love it! read more

Ok, the good and the bad. I am super picky when it comes to my mani/pedi's. I can never find anyone who takes the time and actually does a good job. SO, that being said, I absolutely love Samantha at VN nails. She takes her time and always does an amazing job! The bad, I went into today to find out that shes no longer there!!! If anyone knows how to contact her PLEASE let me know! I need her! Thanks! read more

I've been going to VN Nails for almost 15 years now. I've tried other place and always come back to them. The owners are amazing and the employees are all very friendly and attentive. I've had my nails done with just about every employee and I've always left happy. The owner is always trying to make sure that his clients are properly taken care of. I get my acrylics done here and they last me a long time and the color never chips. Also, they get pretty full but they have so many employees that you never have to wait so long. I read some of the complaints about the nail technicians talking too much but I love that about them. I hate walking into a place where my nail technician doesn't even look at me. If you prefer being ignored then this is definitely not the place for you. I love this place. I you're looking for a great long lasting manicure/pedicure this is your place. read more

Just left this smelly place(strong fumes)! The guy who claims to be the manager there(also doing nails) was so rude and unprofessional. I called ahead to check prices for gel mani pedi. Drove all the way from south beach. When I got there the prices went up by $25 total. I asked to speak with the guy I talked to on the phone. The manager said it doesn't matter the price was the price. i told him he was doing bad business by not honoring the price quoted on the phone. He then quoted $25 for gel mani. also adding that he didn't care if i write a review on Yelp because he has customers. since the nail tech already started the service I stayed for that. And my problem was the price of the pedicure. But they were trying to charge $75 for a gel mani pedi. When it was time to pay they said it was $27. Due to it being Friday. Ripoff, rude, unprofessional!!! The mani was good by the way but the technician was working in a dirty station. I sat down and a towel was laid out with old cuticle clippings all over. Gross!! To any peeps from outta town please stay away, trust me it sucked! read more

Disappointing experience. They do not offer salon-quality polishes (OPI, Essie, etc.) and my nails had chipped by the next day. The service was rather perfunctory and the nail technician chatted with her co-worker the entire time. I don't expect the world for a quickie $22 pedicure, but I have concerns about the cleanliness of the salon and that's inexcusable at any price point. The tools and files that the technician used looked worn and did not appear to be properly sanitized between clients. I only saw a single container of disinfectant in the salon, and did not see anyone use it while I was there. I also watched them "clean" the pedicure chair after I finished and it was a half-hearted effort; a few sprays from a bottle and a quick rinse. I sincerely hope I am wrong about their standard of cleanliness, but suffice to say I would not return to this nail salon. Service was quick, which under the circumstances I was grateful for. read more

Not terrible but not fantastic. I came in to VN Nails after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp and to take advantage of the $30 special for a Mani/Pedi on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I arrived around 6 last night, and the place was very busy. I was surprised by the size and the amount of techs and customers there. I was met by a lady who gave me a number (Deli counter-style) . I was soon greeted by the Nail Tech who would be doing my mani/pedi. Instead of choosing a color from the wall I wanted to purchase a bottle from their retail display so that I could do touch-ups if necessary. Due to a language barrier, she didn't understand a thing I was asking and kept telling me I couldn't purchase the color I wanted. I understand the language issues, so it wasn't a problem for me however it turned out to be a problem for her. Once the problem was fixed, she didn't speak much and when she did she was quite short and gruff. The manicure was very hurried and I wasn't surprised to see chips this morning (Glad I bought the color to do touch-ups!). The pedicure wasn't bad, however the water was way too hot . However since the price is right and the place was very clean with sterilized equipment, I'm willing to give this place a second chance- maybe with a new tech though. read more

I love this salon. They are always busy, but have enough people working to where you never wait very long, if at all. They do a great job and their prices are very reasonable. They have deals on Wednesdays on manicures and pedicures, so definitely check them out on those days if you are going in for those things. Also, they have some nice tvs to watch during your salon visit and the place is really clean. I have been to a few salons in the area, and this is by far the best that I've come across. I have been here a few times and have always been happy with everything. read more

This place isnt courteous specifically with people who are disabled. The owner will tell you their not available and it's because they don't want to go through the trouble of having to go the extra mile with extending their arms to reach a handicapped person. Unfortunately this business isn't suitable for a person who needs special needs. They are rude and very unprofessional making a client feel horrible. read more

I came to this establishment on Saturday, May 27. I asked for a gel mani and pedi. They told me that I had to get regular nail polish because my nails were "too chipped" and assured me that it would not come off a day later. So Sunday, May 28, one hand starts to chip. Monday, Memorial Day, my nails look ridiculous. I come back today to have them fix it with the original gel I asked for and the manager told me I would have to pay an extra $15 even though I was just there and THEY are the one that told me to get the regular nail polish WHEN I asked for the gel. Avoid this place. Poor management, low class service, not enough selections in products, no design skills and not enough knowledge in nail care. read more

Decided to check it out after such good reviews. I have been living in coral gables since January and still hadn't flu d a good inexpensive nail salon. Well I found one today! 11$ best mani. I believe her name was Melka ask for her. I am very picky about my nails; I need my cuticles very clean because I pick them and the hand massage is my favorite part and up until now no one did a good one. They would just rub lotion on my hand. I'm very happy with this job well done' read more

This is a fantastic nail place ONLY if you ask for Analin or YENNY...she's perfection when it comes to clean cuticles...which is most important to me, since I have very short stubby nails. She takes her time and is the absolute best! read more

I've been coming to this place for over 13+ years. The owners are always attentive to what's going on and that's very important. The deals are great Monday-Wednesday $30 mani/pedi. Lots of parking spaces and I definitely recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Lee, the owner is the best. Been going there for years. All the girls are awesome. The DND brand gel polish that they use is the best! They have tons of colors. Lasts up to 1 month without chipping. There is usually a wait time, because they are so good! Totally worth the wait. It's hard to find a good nail place these days. Glad they don't take appointments because it would be impossible to get one if they did! read more
