    Amazing nails
    Sarah F.

    Amazing service. My nails look the best they've ever looked 10/10! They were kind, professional, efficient and I'm super pleased with the result!!

    I went in on Sunday night at 5:30pm to get a mani and pedi. I originally wanted dip for my mani but after seeing the cat eye polish I decided to get that. The lady kept repeating that she is going to put dip first then the cat eye polish over it and I thought that was odd but ended up just agreeing. I knew the dip was going to make the price go up and it was probably just an upsell but I agreed anyway. Why would you put gel over dip? I've never experienced that but you love and you learn. Anywho, by Tuesday my nails were chipping. I paid $175 for a mani pedi that lasted less than three days.

    Pedicure time!

    An annual update to this review: Helen continues to be one of the best nail techs I've ever had the pleasure to see! Most recently for an upcoming spooky trip to Disneyland, I came to her with a few inspiration photos which she turned into some chic witchy nails. She checks in regularly throughout my appointment, and I appreciate her coming up with new ways to make the art stand out. I always appreciate her care and going above and beyond to make sure I'm 1000% happy with my manicure. I also love the chill vibes at La Vie always making my self care time relaxing. Thank you Helen!!

    I went in on 4/4 for a gel builder manicure with ombre design. I originally requested the strawberry wine color to match my gel pedicure but the color wasn't really cooperating so we tried a dark red and that wasn't cooperating either so then I settled on just the classic white. During the process, I thought well she's going to even it out and it'll come out nice. But I think she didn't have experience with this design which is fine but I wish she would've communicated this so that I could make a decision if I wanted to move forward with it. I hate the way they came out and was so embarrassed by the end of it. I've been coming here for a little over a year and had never been disappointed until now. Sorry but I don't think I can come back.

    Came here hoping to get a walk-in and they were able to accommodate! So happy especially on a busy week before new years. They were very nice and offered me something to drink. My nail tech was Helen and I can't recommend her enough. She was really thorough with my gel overlay. Honestly I'm not sure what a gel overlay is, but someone recommended that I do that since my nails are on the thinner side. I really love how my nails came out and since it's gel I know it will last a while. My biggest concern is always messing up my nails right after which I don't have to worry. Helen's hand massage was great too!

    Have been coming to La Vie the last year and they always do a great job no matter who is doing the service. I usually come in for my monthly pedicures and I am always left super satisfied with the job that is done. Highly recommend!

    Helen's amazing work- builder gel and design
    lizzie c.

    I had a great appointment with Helen today. She removed my builder gel, which was in bad shape. She totally brought my nails back to life! She was very gentle with removal, used sanitized tools, and did a great job on starting fresh with new builder gel and hand painting the design. The salon is very cute and comfortable. 10/10, I definitely recommend!

    Pedicure by Bulga!

    I was trying to book online yesterday (my connection was bad) and all the AM appointments were going fast- like really fast! Weekend Appointments: I ended up calling and was able to book a Sunday 11am mani/pedi gel appointment w any staff: cateyes removal (completed by another salon) and replaced by simple gel. Best to have appointment , the weekend walk ins harder as day goes on. Salon: aesthetically pleasing and clean. It appears they did a little declutter and re-design from what I recall on last review (long couch removed, reception desk returned closer to door, and nail tables rearranged so clients can face tv) . Color selection: lots of good color options and luxe brands (Hermes, Chanel, Dior). Service. One of the girls (Emuji) helped me pick a color and matched the perfect red for me (skin tone, nail length and shape) . Then as I was seated into my comfy chair (no massage chairs here) , another girl (Bulga) offered drink/ snack menu . Then they both started their work on me. Outcome: fabulous nail color match and perfect applications! Vibe: both Emuji & Bulga were very meticulous, gentle, soft spoken, and I was done before noon! But biggest observation of salon: A customers are coming in, the volume in salon was QUIET (door was open so you could hear the hustle and bustle for Sunday farmer market) but it was quiet and calming. Maybe because it was still early on a Sunday AM? Overall: five stars . I like the fact the salon continues to improve regardless of how well the business is going (the owner opened up a soft serve next door (random but cute) and her san Ramon location is larger and appears to be thriving as well). Good for her! Sad note: Emuji who loves to help color match is not going to be at salon by end of week- she returning to Mongolia for schooling . Best of luck and hope she comes back to Burlingame!!

    I wanted to leave an honest review about my recent visit. I paid $170 for a manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was amazing and I was really happy with how it turned out. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the gel builder manicure done by Pearl. The polish is not applied smoothly -- there are visible streaks and the finish looks uneven on multiple nails. Also, the polish doesn't go down close to my cuticles, which makes the manicure look rushed and already grown out. For the price I paid, I expected much better quality work, especially with builder gel. It's frustrating to spend that much and not be happy with the result. I truly loved the pedicure, but the manicure did not meet my expectations.

    The salon it's self is beautiful and the service providers are kind. The quality of the service done was horrible. One of my nails is longer then the other the shape is like a mix between oval and coffin. I had to ask for multiple things to get fixed and they ended up looking janky even after me having to point out very obvious things. My toes on the other hand where great! There was another customer in the store that was also getting irratated with her nail tech as well. I simply asked for a fill and a french tip and I had to get the French tip removed because the nail tech wasn't able to do it even. I wouldnt recommend going here unless you are just getting a pedicure. Very frustrating especially because I am traveling tommarow and these nails look ridiculous. I think this salon needs to be realistic with their service providers and their skill set, I shouldn't have to point out that nails are not even and how the shape isn't done properly. It's not fair to the nail tech or to me a paying customer.

    I got gel x French tip with Tsegi ! And I love it . Very thorough and great attention to detail and experience ! Thank you

Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. My sister and I scheduled two pedicures for 3/12 at 6:00 PM the day before. When we arrived on time, the staff said they had no record of our appointment and had to call the owner. After the call, we were told only one appointment had been scheduled, even though I clearly booked two pedicures. They eventually agreed to take both of us, but the staff's attitude made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. The technician Sara helping my sister seemed rushed the entire time, didn't properly cut her cuticles, and even left her sitting with wax on her feet for about 30 minutes to assist a walk-in client. Unfortunately, my sister's pedicure wasn't completed properly, which was very disappointing considering we had scheduled our appointment in advance and arrived on time. As a loyal customer, this experience was frustrating and not what I had come to expect from this business. Sadly, it will likely be our last visit. Also, if the staff is preparing to leave by 6:00 PM, it would be helpful for the business hours to reflect that instead of listing the closing time as 7:30 PM.
