    Can I just give Rachel her flowers! She is fabulous! I love my holiday nails so much. Perfect for this time of year! Rachel is super talented and she always does a wonderful job on my nails and toes. I love this place!!

    I recommend! I had Rachel for a dip and extensions manicure and she was great! Was extremely nice and made sure I was happy with the color and shape. It is a very clean and welcoming spot too!

    Writing this review 1 day after my dip manicure and will update on how long it stays on. Jackson did a wonderful job on my manicure. He listened to exactly what I wanted, and really took his time making sure the quality was there. He was very fun to chat with as well. I absolutely love the color and the fun art that he did. The price was great and the salon itself is clean and modern. So far it's a 5 star experience!

    If you want to guarantee quality and consistency, request BON! I met Bon about two years ago and don't go to anyone else now. His attention to detail, design work, and ability to recreate any vision is unmatched. I just show him the inspo pic and let him work his magic; it makes the experience so effortless! Highly suggest booking with him in advance, as he has built a large customer base over the years. Last note- my most recent visit was for my wedding nails, and they are absolutely stunning! Bon made my special day even more perfect. Thank you Bon!!

    Update: as you all know I was not happy with my first visit to JVA. Fortunately, the manager sent me a message shortly after my review was posted. She was very kind and apologized for the poor service I received and asked me to come back so they could fix my pedicure. I wasn't able to return for two weeks. They still honored the redo! The new tech did an amazing job. I even decided to get my gel manicure done. My mani/pedi turned out great! Overall I'm very happy and JVA and will definitely go back. Their customer relations is excellent snd appreciated. _____________________________________________________ Original Post: I chose this place because of the high Yelp rating. I called Friday morning to make an appointment. The location was convenient and it's a lovely establishment. I can't say I felt welcome when I walked in tho. I never feel welcomed when I'm not greeted. Usually, I would take my $ elsewhere (if I was treated less than how other customers are treated) but I was in a bind so I focused on the high rating. My appointment was for a Gel mani/pedi. One of my fingers had gotten cut right before my appointment so I just got the pedicure. I was happy with my nails when I left Friday evening at 6... By Monday afternoon my happiness turn to annoyance. Two of my toenails had chipped. Now I dont know about y'all but paying $60 for a gel pedicure should guarantee they last at least a month, right? My last pedicure lasted a month and a half with no chips. Needless to say, I will return to fix the chips but I doubt I will return after that. There are too many nail salons in the area and too many quality products for this to happen.

    Needed to update my review because I was devastated when Bon left JVA but have started seeing Sandy and she is absolutely amazing! She is meticulous with my nails and they NEVER chip or break. I'm pretty good about getting my nails done every 3 weeks but honestly could go longer, they hold up that well when she does them. More generally, I love the atmosphere of JVA - it is bright (lots of natural sunlight with all the windows), always clean, and everyone is super friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

    I found this place through Yelp and through out all the comments, I had to try out Bon and he did not disappoint! He was so attentive and detail-oriented. I came in wanting gel but he convinced me to try out SNS powder on my natural nails and I absolutely love it! He was very kind and checked in on me throughout the whole appointment. The nails definitely speak for themselves. Looking forward to my next appointment!

    I've been coming here since August and I've never left disappointed! Jenny is always willing to design styles I find and Jackson is a perfectionist with my feet! JVA's website is super easy to navigate and I know that whenever I call there's always someone who can answer any of my questions/needs/requests!

    Kaitlin G.

    I have been going to Jenny to get my nails done for a few months now! She really does a phenomenal job and worked to address my concerns with my cuticles. I always leave the salon with beautiful nails!! I will continue coming to this salon and seeing Jenny for all my sns manicure needs! This time I got a pink and white ombré nails (sns) with an almond shape! I absolutely love them!!

    Nails by Bon

    Perfection yet again! I've been getting my nails done by Bon for years, so when he moved to JVA Day Spa, I of course followed. Bon is truly a master of his craft and takes his time to ensure flawless work every time. Today, I got a Chrome French gel mani for my sister's wedding and couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend requesting him next time you visit! Thank you Bon!!!

The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and I genuinely had a great time chatting while getting pampered. They have a really fun range of color options -- everything from bold neons to soft neutrals, plus some fun glitters. Whether you're into something classic or want to try something new, they've got you covered. They did a great job with my pedicure and my gel manicure for an upcoming wedding. Bonus: They're offering 20% off a mani and pedi Monday through Thursday for the next week, which makes it the perfect time to treat yourself (or grab a friend and go together!) My pedicure was perfect, my gel manicure had a couple of spots that were a little over painted along my nail beds.

    I would give zero stars except Rick did a great job on my nails and I could tell he was actually…read moretrying. But considering the fact that it has been weeks, and my toes are still sore, injured, and sensitive, I would not recommend this place. But do not come here. I don't recommend. I came in after seeing an ad online for a discount. It said it was under new management, so I thought I would give them a chance. This was clearly a mistake. I showed up for my 5:30 appointment and waited about 15 minutes before I was even seated at a pedicure station. And even then, I was just seated with some water. How they looked, they would've known I had fell on my toes and needed to be soaked off. But no one started doing that. In fact, nobody even started my pedicure until about 6:05 PM. But once it did start, it was OK in the beginning. She started soaking the gel off of my toes. However, she immediately started to use a nail file to buy the child off of my toes. While doing so, she was a bit reckless and was buffing skin off of my toes. I was flinching the whole time and even informed her of what she was doing. She just kept repeatedly saying sorry. I didn't realize how bad she had gotten me until I looked down, and saw a ton of blood around my cuticles, And saw her dump alcohol on them. It wasn't until I headed to the mail station where I got a closer look at my toes after she finished them and noticed how badly they had been painted. She didn't even pay the full nail and her layers were uneven AF. I immediately informed them that this was not OK. Rick looked and could see that there were issues and immediately offered to fix them. I also have to admit that he offered me a discount for my toes, and eventually fix them. But by that point, she had already done damage. Not only had she taken off a corner of my perfectly straight toenail, But she also really love so much skin that I now have bruises, scabs, and dark spots all around my toenails. Rick did a wonderful job on my hands for the most part. I got builder gel and he ended up doing a design. However, the good service he provided absolutely does not make up for how terrible my overall experience here was. I am so disappointed. I will never be back and I would not recommend. Finally, I want to add, that they are soliciting five star reviews on both yelp and Google in exchange for discounts and free services (designs, etc.) so beware when you are reading some of these more positive reviews across sites.

Tom came out and literally gave me his parking spot, talk about amazing customer service. As far as my experience, I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure while enjoying a few mimosas. I was very relaxed and serviced as soon as I walked in the door. Linda serviced me and I believe she is a newer nail technician. She took her time and my nails came out great. Only complaint I have is I wishes they used new nail files on my nails. I also wasn't familiar with the nail brand D&L. I picked the color 155P which is a bright orange which was beautiful. The prices were what I normally spend on my nails every month. About $75 including the callous removal.

If they didn't have time for me, they needed to have told me. To just wait around for nothing, it's not like I had all the time in the world. I felt as though this experience was so awful & unprofessional, that unfortunately I will not be returning.

Mika was my technician today and was amazing. Receptionist was wonderful too In helping me choose a color. Highly recommend returning and paying a visit for those looking for somewhere local for your nails to get done. To the manager, thank you for giving me a superb experience.***** Again, still my go to nail salon primarily because of the promotions they have. I enjoy going in the morning because it's quieter and it's nice to have your nails done right before work. I'm actually planning on walking in today or tomorrow for a gel removal on hands and mint pedicure. I'd say the mint pedicure is probably best for its price and going during happy hour it's also discounted. The salon is professional. I'm not a fan of all the employees as sometimes I noticed that they don't standardize the services. Some with give you a slight leg massage, some just completely skip over it.

I'm super disappointed to be honest! 2 stars because my pedicure was good and the nail tech was nice.

But, the value overall is not there. When I walked in, the first woman who approached me told me she would be doing my toes and hands for both of my services. I barely got seated in the spa chair and a walk-in called and the nail tech then told me that she was going to pass me off to somebody else while she handled the walk-in. To be honest, you shouldn't tell me you're prioritizing another client over me, especially when that client isn't even present. The lady that she passed me off to do my toes was very friendly, and the pedicure itself wasn't bad but the paint job wasn't great. I honestly couldn't tell until I got home just how untidy my toe paint was. Even when we started the appointment, she slightly burned my skin while removing my old gel polish from my toes. Therefore, my toe stung through my entire appointment. When it was time to finish my manicure/gel ex set on my hands, I had to repeat myself three times to tell them I wanted French tip. And when you tell nail technicians that you want a short nail, somehow that is really hard to comprehend. I also blame this on the fact that this is now the third nail technician I'm dealing with so it just felt like everything got lost in translation and I really feel like three people totaled my nails and there's no cohesiveness to the final look. My nails aren't terrible and they will do and I'm not a picky person at all. But I am hesitant to come back. I think that there is great potential here and I still think it's a good salon, but maybe just not the one for me.
