they didn't do my nails right they only last a few days i was having a important dinner and had to go with nasty looking nails

I went in for a Gel manicure. There was no "manicure". Tina took care of me; she is friendly, very soft spoken. Nice lady. I got French w/ a design on two nails. Typical costs. There was no soak or cuticle trim. She did use lotion once finished. The gel was very thick and lumpy on a few nails. I honestly believe this is the norm and just not what I, myself, look for in a manicure w/ gel. Ty. read more

This was my first time utilizing the salon as I was in the area visiting with my son and had some extra time and desperately needed a pedicure. I went on a Saturday afternoon and I was surprised to see how empty it was. I was immediately greeted, asked to select my polish and guided to a massage chair. It's a pretty large place with lots of stations for children's pedicures, adult manicures, and pedicures. I believe there are waxing rooms in the back. The massage chairs are pretty cool because both the back and the seat massage you. I was handed a menu so that I could select my services. I added on a paraffin treatment because my feet were desperately in need of some moisture and pampering. It was a great and thorough and relaxing pedicure and I was happy to see that they had drying stations near the front so I could sit for a while and allow my toes to dry. If I'm in need of a pedicure again while I'm in the area I would definitely return here. read more

We requested medium length coffin nails with French tip. When we requested them to be longer, he said he was too far into the service when only one hand had tips on them. I didn't catch his name, his quality of service was poor and he was very rude from the get go. The picture speaks for itself on his quality of work. read more

Prices like all others but the work was terrible. Manicure was a joke... and the dip powder I got was so uneven, was refilled and worse. Then used a GEL polish top coat on the ones refiled... And worst of all*** to do the manicure she just grabbed used dirty file and critical trimmers off the booth next to her!!!!! Freaking disgusting!!!! Nothing sanitized, all reused. Hope I don't get an infection .... Poured, literally dumped, cutical oil all over fingers, told to wash and no hand lotion at the end What does the manicure include then? Just ran to the front telling me a total to pay Very much doing shotty work to hurry and make money NEVER WILL I GO THERE AGAIN... it's been 2 years, tried this one last time and I'm sooo done. Incompetent people No skills Very messy salon Very dirty tools Nothing sanitized Never anyone there (big red flag) read more

Nails are inconsistent, I was charged for gel but not once was an LED light used to cure anything (not gel based I know my nail products) I asked for a glitter top coat to cover what of the natural nail you still see and was told it was "not available"... it's a gel top coat be so for real. Over all really crappy experience and the nail tech was rude from the jump. Just a run of the mill overcharge you for the bare minimum crappy nail salon, decor looks pretty and clean but an already used file was also used on my nails. Not a fan just go somewhere else. read more

I had my first visit for a pedicure and was pleased with the service. It was relaxing and she did a good job.

La Vie Nail Spa is a wonderful establishment hidden in Hickory, NC. The nail salon is very roomy, clean and well organized. It was very easy to set up an appointment via the phone and we were quickly seated once we chose our nail color. (I took my boyfriend's mother for a pedicure, so I am only writing about pedicures and cannot speak about their manicures.) The pedicure seats are very comfortable with the electric chair massage settings and they have free wi-fi. Once you're seated, they offer you complimentary drinks, including water, soda, juices, wine, and sangria. There are several pedicure options, averaging $40. If it's not already included, you can ask to upgrade your pedicure with the paraffin wax for an extra $5. Each pedicure comes with a warm towel to place around your neck. They come out with a tray filled with all the scrubs and lotions pertinent to your menu selection. My boyfriend's mother has a sensitive foot, and they were very accomodating by easing up on pressure, scrubbing, and filing. My only complaint was that I wish they scrubbed/scrapped off my calluses more on my feet, since I still had much of my calluses on my heels and big toes. Otherwise, the entire pedicure was amazing! I got the citrus pedicure, which came with the typical pedicure cleaning, nail clipping/shaping, foot scrub, as well as lower leg massages, hot stone massage, paraffin wax and citrus scrub. It was a great time and so glad that this location offers such amazing services at reasonable prices for the residents of Hickory. read more

Calvin and Tiffany are absolutely fantastic! Not only are they great people and good at what they do, but they are an incredible husband/wife duo. I go sometimes weekly or at minimum every two weeks, and they have never disappointed. They always go above and beyond for my wants and needs, and always offer a nice place to unwind and relax. read more

Only passing thru town, my niece and I both enjoyed pedicures. Felt relaxed and happy with our decision. Great service and salon was very clean. read more

Never again. I was a first timer. Secured an appointment for a pedicure at 3pm just after noon today. I get there, tell her my name and type of appointment, she kind of laughs...says okay. "I'll do the best I can." End result; I waited 55 minutes. Watched a pedicure customer in front of me be placed into a chair about 10 minutes after my arrival, get her feet soaked and then be left in the chair. All the way up to when I left at 3:55. Never received an apology, update, or further acknowledgment after arriving. My time is much too valuable for such rude and dismissive treatment. read more

Service is exceptionally well! The staff was very nice and accommodating. My square acrylics are a little too 'fat square' for me but nonetheless, service was good! Very gentle and nice people. read more

Avoid!!! I have never left a bad review anywhere so this is major. I went back in and asked them to get the white off of my toes and out from under the nails. Still after going back in this is what I was left with and I'm on my way to a wedding! read more

They did a great set today! I am always please getting my nails done here. It was a very relaxed environment.

I feel like my photos speak for themselves. I had my nails done this morning at La Vie and the man who did them was very nice but he was clearly very distracted. Almost every five minutes he got up and left the table to do something. My nail shape and length are uneven, my polish is very splotchy, and my cuticles are wrecked. I am usually the last person to leave a bad review for someone, but I feel like I 100% did not get my money's worth in this case. read more

It's been a while, but I got a pedicure here. The lady trimmed my nails too far back. They hurt then and when the nails started growing back they hurt even more- in the corners. I had wanted a manicure, but they never got to it. I didn't mind missing the manicure after my toes hurt so much. I even voiced concerns to her but she kept working and just seemed to smile at me (wearing a mask). read more

Tiffany is the best!! She helped me pick out this gorgeous nude color and was so thorough in making my nails look amazing! We made a reservation for 3pm on a Thursday and we were in and out in 30 minutes. Best experience so far! Will definitely be back read more

They did a wonderful job on my pedicure. Relaxing massage and a Diet Coke. This will be my new pedicure go to spot.

I walked in and told them I wanted s&s I got exactly what I asked for. When I asked the girl to reshape them she was very polite and did so!!! She also made sure she didn't mess with my broke finger. read more

I was so happy with my nails that I helped design. Please ask for JOHN! Such a sweet man and gave me the best nail shape I've ever had! You can tell that he has 20 years of experience with the way that he takes his time to create something that his customer will love and that he will be proud of! Although, he was rushed a little bit by his boss, she was kind of rude. But overall a great experience. read more

I don't usually do my nails here, cause I'm from Florida and I was so disappointed as soon as I walked in and got asked "WHAT DO YOU WANT" from far. I was like I would like to get a nail refill, than she walked to me and asked me again "WHAT DO YOU WANT" by then I was looking at her disgusted cause you as an employee shouldn't be saying what you want. "WHAT YOU NEED" "CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING" T are the right word to assist a customer. She had a bad as attitude since I walked in, you don't like your job find something better to do with it don't be giving attitude to customers like that... but the guy who did my nails was so sweet and nice. read more

I have always had a wonderful experience here, I typically get a pedicure with gel polish. They are always nice and do an excellent job. In the passed I worked in Hickory so it was conveniently located for me to go after work. I now work in another town but I like their work enough to drive out of the way to continue to go there. read more

I had a very pleasant experience. I had an appointment and walked right in for my pedicure. Was very pleased with my visit and plan to go back. Thank you LaVie! read more

I never post reviews on businesses but I think people should be warned of this place and their service. I used to frequently come to this nail salon a few years ago for pedicures and they did a great job. I started noticing over the years that the quality of their service/work has declined. My sister and I went in for a pedicure and called ahead to make sure there wasn't a long wait. The lady who "greeted" us was very rude and seemed irritated that we had walked into their salon. The pedicures lasted a total of 15 min. Our gel polish was slapped on our toes and looked so blotchy. The guy painting my sisters toes actually was visibly irritated and was huffing and puffing several times throughout the pedi. They left out a few steps during the pedi, like no lotion, no cuticle oil, my sister barely got a hot towel rubbed on her legs, and the younger girl doing my toes forgot to apply a top coat to my gel on one foot. I didn't notice until I left and paid so I had to come back into the store and tell them I had no top coat applied and it was sticky. The owner was nice enough to let the girl know but she didn't say sorry or anything like that. She just acted like she had better things to do than to fix it. The pedicure and paint was probably the worst Iv received. My sister informed the owner that her paint was bad and he offered $10 off. We left and went to a different salon for manicures. read more

I came here to get acrylics and the guy couldn't even do a simple design on the nail. as he starts doing the acrylic, he puts them on way too fat and didn't even cover my whole nail with the acrylic. when he starts painting them, he already has an attitude because they were smudging and too thin when i asked for another layer of paint. he paints my nail instead of the acrylic. i let my nails dry under the lamp for 15 minutes and as soon as i left, they smudged. 3 days after my 2 pointer fingers fell off . read more

This nail shop was okay at first. A friend and I went on the 24rth of December. My friend got the Chocolate Pedicure and Gel nails, which all ended up popping off the NEXT day. I got the classic pedicure and French gel nails, which are about to pop off. The men doing our nails kept trying to upsale us on additional service we didn't want. One of my toenails ended up getting messed up and I asked politely if I could have it redone. We waited for a good 15 minutes and no one approached us after that so we left. It was my first experience getting my nails done in N. Carolina, and now I know never to get my nails done here. read more

My daughter and I had the Lavender Pedi and it was fabulous! Wonderful to feel spoiled! Recommend highly!

It was the worst manicure I've ever gotten. I have short nails and came in for a SNS dip powder manicure. I have gotten them before at other salons and had no issues. The tech said that I needed tips added on and I said that I didn't want tips and I offered to get a gel polish instead. They said no, that the powder would be fine so I went with it. Aside from the tech filing the sides of my nails down below the quick, the application was so sloppy. I left with hard polish all over my cuticles at the base of my nails and my nails were uneven thicknesses - none of that is related to how short they were. My pinkies look like it is globbed on. The tech showed no care for my short nails and went at his normal speed hitting my nail bed. I plan to go to my regular salon to see if they can clean up the area around my cuticles. read more

I've been coming for pedicures for years and am always satisfied. This time I brought my mom who wanted a full set. We had an appointment at 1 and were seen promptly, however, once my mom was placed in her chair Tiffany accepted a phone call and was left sitting for at least 30 minutes. I asked multiple times if someone could attend to her and was only told Tiffany would be right back. Other customers were put in their chairs for nails to be done but no one saw to my mom. I can say this is the last time I will be coming to La Vie. read more

Great technicians, and definitely worth the splurge for mani and pedi (the citrus pedicure is A+). Will keep going to them for the amazing service I've received. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! The worst pedi I have ever had. The tech did not use gloves, the entire pedi lasted 20 mins start to finish, plus she was rough and killed my feet. She was obviously in a hurry. I will never go near this place again. read more

Awesome service! So many choices for pedicures, and the rose and champagne is everything. Must go!!!

This salon is typically great but can be hit or miss depending on which employee is performing the service. I've had GREAT pedicures here and just okay ones. I've had GREAT manicures here and just okay ones. Never bad, more consistency would be my only critique. Overall, it's a great place and my go to in the area for nails. read more

Stopped by for SNS nails and pedicure. While visiting my dad i jammed my finger and cracked my nail. I checked Yelp and found good reviews and they were open on Sunday. Had to wait for a few minutes, which i expected. Pedicure tech asked about the water as soon as i sat down and he offered a drink before he sat down and brought it to me. He was attentive and i got one of best pedicures ever. I hadnt picked a color because i wanted to be sure i got a polish that matched my SNS. He was happy to help me get matching polish and SNS. The nail tech was cheerful, attentive, and professional. She was also quick and did a fantastic job on SNS. The color i chose was much lighter than what i had when i came in and she checked with me to be sure i was ok with it. I will definitely return to this clean, professional, quiet and relaxing nail salon! read more
