Under new management and is amazing! Joyce and her husband have wonderful Customer service and are so helpful in picking what you want done to your nails. The salon was clean and peaceful. Will be back and would recommend to anyone! read more

This is under new ownership. The shop is immaculate, service are great and the new young owners make it a great experience.

I'm from out of town so maybe my expectation is a little different? So three stars for me means they gave me crooked French lines. Don't get me wrong I would make myself have crooked French lines but that's why I go to a nail salon so I can pay somebody else to get it straight. My other little annoyance is when I get a pedicure and they don't try to cut the nails right or get the ingrown out with the special little steel tools. Besides that: the place seemed clean enough, the prices were OK (not a awesome deal or anything), and the service seemed typical. I would give them another shot if I was around but I definitely wasn't blown away or "found my new favorite place". read more

I love the pedicures. They pay attention to detail. Honestly, it was the best I've ever had. My daughter got manicure and it was also gorgeous. I highly recommend!! read more

From the initial phone call to see if they had availability to our walk in the door the receptionist was amazing. Think of how important the first impression is this lady made it, outstanding!!! My wife and mother in law wanted nails done before the wedding and they fit us in and then asked if we would like something to drink and went above and beyond what I have seen what anyone else has ever done. I've owned a service company for 40 years and understand the value of a individual like this. The owner was very outgoing and talked with me as well. I wanted a bubble tea drink and the recommended Phoholic taste of Vietnam which was just down the road and it was just what I was looking for. Who cares how the nail job was the receptionist was worth the trip. Truly a heart for people. read more

I had my nails dipped then went on vacation thinking my nails would look great. Turns out the first day one popped off, then the next day another popped off, by the 3rd day I'm missing 5 nails. I called and they told me to come back in yet could not accomodate the one day I had home before I left again on a 2nd trip. So I am having to go elsewhere to get my nails redone during my vacation time when I should be enjoying life! The owner of the salon did my nails. read more

Really unprofessional workers and owner. If you have an issue with their service they laugh at you and blame YOU for the bad service they provide. Also they are really nosey about others lives and choices, bad practice and behavior. They do not own up to their actions and have lost business from my family and friends. I will never recommend them to anyone. If they want to keep regulars they should practice being professional, seasonal prom nails don't keep a business running. Regulars do. Saddest nail place in Duluth. Their time is not worth the money. If your looking for an amazing nail place I recommend Pearl Nails, kindest staff and best nails! (My own personal opinion) I have never felt unwelcome at pearl. read more

Worst mani and pedi I've ever had. Total waste of time and money. Within 30 minutes of leaving, despite having sat under their dryer lights for an extra 20+ minutes, both the mani and pedi are ruined. At no time did the lady use lotion on my hands or do any kind of massage and hands are now visibly dry. I chose a light natural color of polish and it went on uneven and chunky, even after two coats. One of the other workers came over and looked at and said to me that I chose a tricky color of polish. Ok, how am I supposed to know that and why do they offer it if it doesn't cover? As if it is my fault and it's ok to blame your customer. She took over and told the other lady to brush it on lightly and had to four coats and sent me to the dryer for ahalf hour. As soon as I left and touched anything, it was wrecked - Dented and mushy. She spent very little time on my feet and the end result is they are not smooth, visibly un-moisturized and the polished is also smudged All of the prices on their printed cards are wrong and they just have a little square of paper stapled to it saying some prices have increased, but they don't say which ones or what price they have changed to. A regular mani and pedi was $50, and I regret the tip I left on top of it. Needless to say I will not be returning and would not recommend to anyone, super disappointing. read more

Worst place I've ever been told me I was moving too much talking too much to my friend sitting next to me my nails started lifting two of them fell off in the first 10 days kept adding charges saying it's gonna cost more after they already put it on read more

I have tried several other nail salons in Duluth and I always come back to VP. The owner always shows that she cares about good service and to me that is so important as a business owner myself. My nails are always beautifully done and when I asked to be done at a certain time, they are always upfront about whether or not they can do it and finish on time. Excellent service. read more

Vp Nails & Hair - Sorry to show my feet but nice job. - Nail Salons Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Very nice place, nice people and very good service. It's hard for me to find places that do my nails exactly how I like it, but here they do them perfect every time. The place is also pretty on the inside. Their appointment system is a little informal though. Sometimes you'll call for an appointment and get there and still wait a little while. read more

Vp Nails & Hair - Nail Salons Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

I just moved to the area and was excited to find a new nail salon and finally get an acrylic fill with gel polish on top. Not only was it a very unwelcoming environment, it was very awkward hearing the employees bicker between eachother, and one of the workers doing nails at a different station wouldn't stop talking about herself. Sounded very conceited and uninterested about the client she was working with. Not one employee tried to make conversation with me or even seemed to care I had an appointment. The fill took well over one hour, the nail tech cut me twice, so I was bleeding the whole time with no apology or assistance, and my nails turned out horribly. Not the color I asked for, my cuticles not taken care of, and acrylic all over my skin surrounding the nail. No cuticle oil or lotion was offered to me. This is a very unprofessional salon with terrible customer service. I cannot believe I paid full price for this experience and had to go home and fix them myself. I will not be going back and I do not recommend this salon to anyone. read more

This is a decent place thatis priced well. Still feels like a factory line, but it gets the job done.

Appointment was at 3:45..... at 4:05, I asked why I was not even acknowledged yet..... they told me it would be at least 15 more minutes!!!!!? Apparently they don't care about customer service or even trying to let me know what was going on!!!! I would NOT recommend this place read more

said walk-ins welcome but when we walked in they looked at us very rudely. We asked if they accepted walk-ins so we asked and they said "well what services do you want done" very rude and very short. We told them what we were looking to get done and they rolled their eyes and said "no we're booked" Which is totally understandable but the way they said it and we're treating us was terrible. Never want to walk into this salon again. read more

i asked for a full set of acrylic nails, almond shaped, with the color 108 in gel polish. i didnt get the name of the tech, but he was incredible. table #5. amazing service, super kind, and very talented. for less than $50 i received the best set of nails i've ever had. i will be coming here again! read more

This nail salon was okay. The staff was nice. I had a male manicurist/pedicurist. Not the worst manicure ever, but not the best. My cuticles are getting a ton of those hang nail things around the nail bed and the paint job was alright. I had previously pre-filed my nails to be square like how I like them and he rounded them out too much. I wouldn't. Next time I come to Duluth I probably will not return. I have had better experiences elsewhere. The options for gel polish were kind of limited also. read more

I got a dip manicure (think it's called SNS?) and it turned out absolutely amazing. My technician did a fantastic job! I'm going to be so sad when these grow out but am excited to see what masterpiece they create next! Highly recommend! read more

I came here based on reviews and I wasn't disappointed . I came in earlier than my apt. And got in after a short wait. I did ask if I could get a pedi along with the acrylics. And they did just that. I did receive both and during my pedicure one of the ladies went around with a tray with food and beverage on it and asked if I wanted a snack or refreshment. Plus tvs everywhere. Definite plus! The gentleman who did my pedi very friendly. I will defiantly be back! read more

Came here for the first time. Love that they're open on Sundays. I called ahead to make sure they could get me in and they had an opening in 90min. The ladies were so nice and the woman who did my nails did an awesome job!! (I actually liked her nails so much I had her do mine the same!) Definitely recommend! read more

Thi is great! First time there they usually do appointments especially on the weekend, so call ahead but was able to wait and got in. Got a gel pedi for $45 a little more than I'm used to paying but Thi did a beautiful job. Just moved here and was looking for somewhere close and its on a bus route. I will be back! read more

I don't usually ever write reviews but I have been going to VP Nails for little bit now every so often. I love it, it's my favorite place to get my nails done! The staff is awesome and they do such a amazing job!! Not to mention they offer everything there! Hair, nails and toes! It's not very often I can find a place that I always leave fully satisfied! I highly recommend VP Nails! read more

Don't ever go here. The owner thinks she's top sh#t!! She don't even ask what you want she just does what she wants. Then she over charges if the length of the nail is longer. She don't even give you the opportunity to decide if you want to pay the extras for the lengthy. Anyway, she took 2 hrs on a 1 hr job because she was too busy paying attention to her staffs work. Uhhhhhggg. Hate!!! Don't get me started one Q Nails. But go 2 Diamond and ask for Jimmy. Best Eve!!! read more

Spent 4 hours for a s&s manicure and pedicure. Nail technician did not give me her attention. She was more focused on running the business then my appointment. She constantly answered the phone, scheduled appointments and checked out other customers. The overpriced appointment was not worth my time. Within 24hrs, the supposed strong s&s was already chipped. Totally disappointed. Would not recommend and will not return. Ever. read more

This a great nail salon! Excellent service, very friendly, and relaxing atmosphere! Highly recommend!

As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted and told to pick out my nail color as usual. I then sat there for over 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time without being acknowledged again. Customers walked in and got acknowledged right away. One employee did notice this and took me in, even though she was extremely busy. Cassie had great customer service skills, did my nails exactly how I wanted them, and apologized for the wait. If I do end up going back, it will be ONLY to see Cassie. read more

I did not have an appointment and Pfung the owner could not have been more accommadating! The salon is very clean, use OPI nail polish and charge very fair prices. They are open 7 days a week and work very hard to give the best customer service of any nail salon in town! HIghly recommend! Oh yea, they also do waxing and hair as well! Again, customer service and wanted to make customers happy is really what makes this place stand out! read more

Very nice staff who always gets you in even without an appointment. Very clean facility. The staff is friendly and interested in you and prices are reasonable. read more

I have used this salon for two years now. I have been both a walk in and made appointments. The staff are friendly and always accommodating. I work in healthcare and am always washing my hands. My manicures always last and they take care to remove my soak off polish with care not to damage my nails. read more

Price is right, friendly service, comfortable massage chairs. Nothing to complain about, would recommend to friends.

As a walk in for a pedi I was seated shortly after choosing my polish color. Nice clean shop Bobby was very Pleasant to talk to Asked a few questions in regards to my pedi preference - length. Shape He even picked out a new color for me. Which I ended up Loving . ( stepped outside the box) Overall a nice experience. read more

I've had my nails done at VP for over 5 years... excellent quality every time, tons of colors and effects to choose from. I always feel welcome and pampered here. Phoung, owner, and her staff are so friendly and accommodating. I will be a loyal customer for years to come --- highly recommended! read more

They were very agreeable and opened an hour early for us since the wedding is tomorrow and it's crunch time! We even sort of last-minute changed our plan for what we wanted and they didn't make us feel like the jerks we are, very professional. Also massage chairs. read more

I would not recommend this salon. Past times have been fine but today was AWFUL. They were extremely busy. Even though I had made an appointment, I had two people working on my hands, and one of the two had three customers at once. That being said, I was getting a fill and so many things went wrong. The man doing my nails nearly scratched my diamond wedding ring three different times with his sandpaper like tool/nail buffer. Each time he filed my nail he was filing skin off my other fingers. He even caused me to bleed twice and didn't apologize when I flinched. On top of it, he tried to paint a gold line under my French manicure, which was so sloppy and uneven. I asked him to take it off. The owner said he needed to keep my nails under the UV light for 2 minutes. He did for 40 seconds one hand and 30 seconds on the other. I walked away with sparkles all over my nails because he didn't take all of the enhanced gold line off as I asked, and my nails are already coming off in some areas, when I literally just left my fill. They made me pay extra for the gold line which I had them take off, and they didn't apologize or care to offer anything in return. Go elsewhere. Keep in mind I've always been a good, and high-tip leaving customer. They don't seem to care. My nails aren't smooth either, there are visible bumps and ugly blemishes. read more

My most recent experience was not the best. Very disappointing due to the fact that I usually love this place. The prices are reasonable and their work is typically good. Today however, my nails turned out cheap looking. I paid for a full set of gel and the angle of a couple nails look completely uneven. The nail tech also pointed at my nails and laughed hysterically with her coworker about my cuticles..... made no sense to me as to why she did that. She basically embarrassed me in front of other customers for no apparent reason. Absolutely unacceptable. It's a shame because the owner is very nice and talented. Time to train your employees how to converse with a paying customer. I didn't come here to be treated like crap. Not coming back here. read more

I stopped in to get just a french manicure on my plain nails. No gel, no shellac etc. My nails are really frail. Apparently they're seemed to be some discussion amongst the young bossy lady and the old lady that did my nails (all in Viet). Like this wasnt allowed, they tried to push gel, or whatever. It costed me $29 (i left a small tip bc I felt sorry, she was old). The pricing sheet was apparently incorrect and the young bossy lady said it was wrong. She charged me $3.00 higher for each thing for manicure, then french on top of whatever is listed on the menu. The old lady that did my nails seemed clueless and kept getting bossed around by the younger lady. Then she was only going to do one layer of the tip and when I asked for a 2nd coat again speaking in Viet again, - all this discussion. My nails had bubbles, french manicure did not have clean lines, it came off the next day. Such a disappointing, rude, poor customer service. Oh then literally halfway thru my manicure- it was interrupted so I can pay for it bc my nails would be ruined if I paid after. WTF she was literally in the middle of my mani so hmmm let me get this straight, that wouldn't ruin my nails?!! I would never return here. read more

Service is always friendly!! Great pedicures and manicures!! We randomly chose to try VP Hair and Nails but were very satisfied! The owner was professional and on only our second repeat visit remembered our names! It always helps to call ahead but they have been very good about accommodating walk ins! read more

I went there once and they overcharged for a sh*tty mani pedi, I figured I'd give it another try about 6 months later and when I went back it was worse, I was about 5 minutes late and they said they wouldn't have time for us, after having a conversation with them they got us in, mind you it was about 5 and we didn't leave until after 7, and it was me and my friend. When they told us we could leave we did, my nails got f*cked as soon as I went out the door and they refused to fix them, also they were crooked and some were too thick, the artwork was also horrible and she rushed through it all leaving us both unsatisfied read more

We got there about 30 minutes before closing, the staff was happy and helpful. My friend and I had our young daughters with (7,9) they treated the girls like princesses making them comfortable and having fun. The little extra things that they did was very sweet and if I lived in the area (I'm from Minneapolis) I would go back! read more

Best gel manicure I've ever had. Phuong was my tech and the only bad thing is that I don't live locally. I travel 12 states for my job and tend to get manicures in between appointments. I wasn't treated anything below 5 stars from being greeted immediately to the service to a timely manicure. My gel manicure lasted over 3 weeks and the only reason I had to take it off was my nail outgrowth. The price was awesome too. I really hope my job takes me back to the area so I can experience all of this again! Thank you!!! read more
