Walked in for a Pedi yesterday. Very friendly woman at the desk. She asked me to wash my hands before starting, which I greatly appreciated. The first thing I noticed was that everything is sparkling clean, with no chemical smell. I was seated immediately by my tech, Michael, in a very comfy vibrating chair. Michael had already started the water (in a disposable plastic liner). Great Pedi and the massage by Michael was the best in a very long time! Everyone there was very friendly and they seem to be happy to be there. They are located right next to Regal Cinema in Short Pump, so plenty of parking. read more

I come here regularly. They do a good job and their prices are very fair. It's whomever is available, you usually can't request a certain tech unless you call ahead. Most time, they can help you within a few minutes of walking in. If you want ombré, which I did, you might have a 10-15 minute wait. Today they were playing 90's to current popular music. The salon is clean other than some nail polish splatter at some of the stations. They do reuse nail files, don't use fresh ones, if that is a concern of yours. Milk be back. Mist if my services here have been positive and I've been coming here for a few years. read more

I asked for plum french tips on my toes and Binh Nguyen did a sloppy job and when I told him I would like him to fix it he did not fix anything and didn't apologize not once for letting me leave with a horrible pedicure. read more

Bella Lux Nails & Spa - Just two days later, the nails are cracking showcasing layers of uncured gel. Mind you this was $55 between my soak off and gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I walked in around 3pm on a Friday and thought I was going to have to wait but I was seated right away! Everything in the salon is super clean and nice. The lady who did my nails did a great job and she was quick. Pricing for my nails was $45 + tip, which I would say is about average. I am new to the area and have been looking for a good nail salon - I will definitely be returning here next time! read more

Bella Lux Nails & Spa - Acrylic with gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I decided to try this place out since it was close by and open on a Sunday. I didn't have an appointment and they still got me seated very quickly. The aesthetics are nice and overall it's very clean. I like the electronic check in system they use that allows you to choose your service and request a particular nail tech, if they are available. They use the liners in the pedicure bowl which is great! They offered me a beverage, which were visible in the mini fridge. They had name brand soda and water which I can appreciate. The massage chairs are nice, not too rough or bumpy. There aren't a million settings to choose from which is nice. Some of those chairs make you do too much. As far as my service, Bond did an ok job overall. I felt like he rushed through the pedicure as far as trimming dead skin and cleaning under the nails. He did a GREAT job on the massage, truly the best part. The polishing was not so great. I had red polish left on my skin and he didn't polish close to the cuticle so it looks like my toenails have already grown out. He also didn't polish thoroughly along the sides of one of my big toes. For $65 I definitely would have liked a better experience but it was decent enough that I would go back. I think every business deserves a second chance. read more

Bella Lux Nails & Spa - Deluxe gel pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I really wish I was giving 5 stars but I simply cannot. I was hopeful due to others reviews but didn't experience as such. Atmosphere is nice, clean, I was greeted right away. I received paraffin treatment with manicure. I brought my own nail polish. The gentleman was very nice who did my nails and it seemed to be going great until the clean top coat. (Hard to tell if it was the polish or top coat that was the issue in terms of even coating) but It was goopy and showed up as such on my nails. I'm sorry but I honestly I could do better at home, (and I will be touching them up the rest of my day today) it's just disappointing because I don't treat myself but once or twice a year, and this just makes me want to keep just doing it myself. I'd be open to trying again and using their polish, gel, or acrylics/supplies. But it won't be anytime soon This was also a walk in, I am not a regular - although was hoping to find a good spot to return to read more

Bella Lux is my favorite place to get my nails done in RVA. They are fast, professional, and I have always loved my nails.

I really hate writing negative reviews but I was highly disappointed in this place and my experience. I came for a gel manicure and eyebrow wax. My immediate "uh oh" was when I had to initiate a conversation with my nail technician. I was neither greeted nor spoken to the entire time I was having my nails done. Now, in reality, I'm not looking for a long conversation, but a simple "hello" would have gone a long way. I was never asked how I wanted my nails to be shaped and left with black polish on the skin surrounding numerous nails. When she then proceeded to wax my eyebrows, little attention was paid to plucking the few hairs out of shape, which I was left to clean up at home. Very disappointed and won't be back. read more

showed up at 7:15 and was turned away because it was too late. They said they close at 7:30. The hours on Google and their website say close at 8. waste of my time and gas to get there. Reliable hours are a minimum requirement for a serious business. Will not be back. read more

This place is so welcoming and does a fantastic job from eyebrow waxing to nails. All of their services are great. The place is very clean. We have been looking for a steady place to visit and found it. Everyone in there is great! My personal favorite is Lee, he ROCKS!!! read more

Update one month later: I have not been back yet but I have never! I mean NEVER had nails last this long. I do a lot of laborious work so they break about two weeks later orrrr I jam a nail so hard I think it ripped my nail off neither has happened a month later and all the nails are still intact. Lots of dish washing, cutting, cooking, cleaning, oil changes, tire changes INSANE. read more

Yet again another visit to Bella Lux. 3 pedicures for Mom and myself and a friend. As usual everything was excellent and we had a very relaxing visit. We will be back read more

I had a 3:30 appointment and waited 25 minutes before I gave up and left. I was greeted when I walked in but no one spoke to me after that despite me trying to get someone's attention. This is very rude and inconsiderate of peoples time. I'd been here before a few times and had to wait about 15 minutes which I didn't think was too bad. Not great but not a dealbreaker. I'd always been happy with my service. The place is clean and my tech was nice so I came back but not after today. Be respectful of peoples time and don't take appointments if you can't uphold them. I work very long hours and was excited to have time today to get my nails done so I'm very disappointed. Between the wait and drive time, I wasted an hour that I could have spent getting my nails done elsewhere. read more

The management and staff at Bella Lux nails are always so rude and inconsiderate. I made an appointment and still did not receive service after waiting almost 30 minutes. I've had poor experiences prior to this one as well. I only returned as often as I did because of MiMi. She is nice. If you want good, friendly customer service go to May Nails in the shopping center across the street! read more

I walked in on a whim, no appointment, and was helped immediately. The pedicure was very thorough and Long did a great job with both my gnarly toes AND my dip manicure. The prices are a bit high, but I was very pleased with the quality of service. I don't know that I'd go out of my way to come back, since I don't live very close, but definitely a great option if I'm in the neighborhood again! read more

We just moved to the area & I've been looking for a new nail salon...and, I just did! I went in for a mani/pedi today The staff was awesome - especially considering my indecisiveness & several attempts to describe what I wanted. I really liked my nails when they'd finished them; but I've have also had buyer's remorse in the past (is that a thing with nails?). However, when I got home, I absolutely loved them! *The picture of my hands doesn't do them justice & I'm not taking any pictures of my feet...* read more

Very nice and clean, Kim did a great job on my pedicure. He lacked in English but very efficient

TLDR; I was overcharged for my pedicure. The cashier pulled up camera footage and tried to involve a random customer in the dispute. I visited Bella Lux Nails & Spa with a friend for mani/pedis. We had a 6 pm appointment, but we ended up waiting 15 minutes to start. We got our manicures first, and I had a great experience with Phuong Bui. She even went above and beyond to fix a crack in one of my nails, which I really appreciated. I tipped her before moving on to the pedicure. Both my friend and I requested the deluxe pedicure, which was listed as $45 on the website but $55 in person. According to the menu they presented me in store, the deluxe pedicure is supposed to include a classic pedicure, a 7-minute reflexology massage, and a mud mask. After the soaking/cleaning part, my nail tech began by applying a mint-scented blue gel to my legs. I assumed this was the "mud" as I had never had this service before. After that, she applied a lot of lotion to my legs and feet before starting to paint my toenails. As I watched my friend, I noticed she was getting the actual opaque mud mask and a massage on her legs and feet, which made me realize I was missing parts of the treatment. I saw several other people receiving massages as well. By the time she finished painting my nails, it was nearing closing time, and she left without providing the massage or the mud mask. Later, when I went to the back to use the restroom, I discovered that the blue gel my tech used was actually menthol muscle rub. When it was time to pay, I explained to the cashier that I hadn't received the full deluxe pedicure and just wanted to pay for the classic pedicure. I specifically pointed out that I didn't get the massage or the mud mask. They gave me a hard time about this and eventually, the cashier called the tech and even pulled up video footage of the service (I did not ask for this). I explained that the video showed my nail tech applying lotion, not giving a massage, and that I had also not received the mud mask. The situation dragged on for about five or more minutes, during which I repeatedly asked to simply pay for the classic pedicure and leave. I even offered to pay the full price and not leave a tip, or just pay for the basic pedicure and leave a tip. Despite this, they didn't respond clearly and were ignoring me. At one point, the cashier even showed the footage to a random customer, asking her if it looked like I received a massage. Thankfully, the customer didn't engage and just wanted to leave as well. Eventually, they charged me the full price for the deluxe pedicure, and I paid without leaving a tip for the pedicure service. Afterward, the random customer expressed sympathy, telling me she was sorry for how I had been treated. It was an embarrassing, bewildering, and disappointing experience, and I won't be returning. read more

I was looking for a new place to get a pedicure and saw this spot on yelp. I walked in and was seated immediately. I selected the cucumber pedicure and it did NOT disappoint. My feet feel amazing and my polish looks great. I like to relax during my services so to be in a salon that's super clean and quiet was perfect. My visit was the perfect end to a busy work week. I will definitely be back for another pedicure and more! read more

Unfortunately Lynn no longer works here and it has changed my experience of this place completely. Went to get my eyebrows done about a month ago and the lady had ZERO customer care. She used very hot wax after telling her that it was too hot. She still proceeded to use the hot wax and ended up with bad irritation and she even had to apply Neosporin afterwards. This has never happened to me. Today I decided to given someone else a chance and she did fine. However, upon my arrival I was going to receive service from the same lady on my previous visit and I kindly asked if I could get someone else. They all started to talk in a different language and laughed which made me super uncomfortable. I wont be going back. read more

i was a walk in for a pedicure and I also got acrylic removal on my nails. the salon is very nice but when I got the breakdown for my receipt, I was flabbergasted. $25 for acrylic removal is insane. $35 for a pedicure $17 for gel and I had to pay an extra five dollars for french... nice salon but never will i ever pay 25$ for a removal again. read more

I've been to Bella Lux four times now. The first time was on a Monday for a pedicure and it was an awesome experience. The second time was a dip appointment and it was a great appointment. The third time was awful. I had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for a pedicure. I had an appointment time off 2PM and then I had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes to get on the chair. The fourth time was a good appointment. The manager Lee is very conscientious about customer service. read more

I've been to Bella Lux nails twice now and each time the experience is great. I make an appt at least two days before and I've been able to get in from there. They do take walk-ins as well. It helps to make an appt because depending on what you're getting they're usually ready for you. I've only gotten pedicures but each one has been really good. From the foot massage to the actual polish...they've done great. They're super courteous and the price is what I expect to pay. They do have several types of pedicure options so price also depends on which option you choose. I recommend! read more

Went to this nail salon on a recommendation. worst decision ever!! got dip nails . The nails were $70 . That was fine . But two nails broke in 7 days called for a repair couldn't get done the next day even if i wanted to pay. Charging higher prices for poor work. And don't stand behind work. so FYI if you don't want poor work please avoid this place!!! read more

Was impressed with the salon when I walked in til the moment I walked out. But then woke up the next morning with multiple toes peeling the big toe the worst. The underneath layers were still wet/sticky and paint rubbed off on my sheets. I have never had a gel pedicure come off even after a month and cutting back my nails myself. I live 40+ minutes away as was in the area with a friend so not convenient to drive all the way back. Will have to eat $60 and pay for it again somewhere else. read more

Very professional with an efficient check in system. Very clean. Asked for a photo upon arrival and recreation of the photo was top notch. Highly satisfied no excessive drilling or cutting down of the cuticles. While the male nail techs are a little rough (reason I took a star off) I am still 100% satisfied with my visit. More than happy to pay the 85$ plus a tip for the cleanliness, professionalism, creativity, and soothing environment! Great place! read more

I have been looking for a new nail salon since I relocated to a new part of Richmond. I've tried so many but I definitely found the one! I went in without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon -- I was able to be seen within 10 minutes. I wanted an ombré nail look, but only one of the techs knew how to do it and was booked up for most of the day. I compromised with something else but my nail tech, Jenny, did such an amazing job! Took the inspo pic I brought with me and did her best to give me the sparkly snowy look that I was looking for! LOVE my nails and I will definitely be back! read more

Bella Lux Nails & Spa - Nails by Jenny - Nail Salons Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I've been searching for a new nail salon and was having the hardest time until I died to try this spot. I've been about 5 times now. The service was great, the staff is always friendly, and my nails and toes always look amazing! I try to stick to the same person, but the staff that I have had all do a great job. They stay busy, so I do recommend scheduling an appointment. I gave them 4 stars because, while I am satisfied with the work and service, every time I go the pricing is inconsistent. However, you do accrue points based on the dollar amount you spend. read more

I arrived at 11:42 my appointment was at 11:45 this morning was my first appointment I called around 10:15 and asked for acrylic fill in with a gel pedicure. I also asked bout how long I was told it take an hour. When I arrived I was told it be another 10-20 min wait... which upset because what's the purpose of setting an appointment to still have to wait. then I ended up waiting total of 25 to 30 mins The women doing my pedicure was kind until I change my mind on the polish type which I changed to regular because I'm not really impressed with my visit so far then she rushes to finish my pedicure ...then say I have to pay an extra 5 dollars for gel removal but I had no gel polish on my toes... then as I finished my pedicure I had to wait an additional 20 mins because the women who was doing my toes does not do acrylic nails.. & her 12:00 appointment arrived..I told them over the phone I was having acrylic nails ...you'd think they assign you to someone who can provide both services . The receptionist was really nice and said I should ask for an discount due to all the waiting it's now 1:30 I've been in this nail salon for now almost 2 hours for a service that should take no longer than an hour I was told. as someone who is all about punctually this was not a fond experience. Everyone is friendly and seems kind but time management is very poor. My nails were started at around 1:55 then he completely them around 3 o'clock . I love my nails and toes but after 3 Hours in there I was quite frustrated they quality of the work is worth it but this mess up my whole day I was late to my event. My grand total was 85.00 which I didn't receive any kind of discount as I got a basic pedicure 35 (plus the charge for polish removal that I didn't have)and an acrylic fill at 45. My nail tech moved so now I'm looking for a new one so I plan to give them another chance in two weeks hopefully this was just a one time occurrence. read more
