I made an appointment. The lady, I made the appointment with was very friendly and scheduled for two manicure pedicures. We showed up on time and were seated on time. We requested deluxe pedicures and did not receive all of the service. I even tried to tell my nail tech , a man, that he didn't take enough of the cuticle, etc., off. That process took approximately a minute per foot. He clearly was not happy with me, questioning him and continue to give me the fastest pedicure I've ever had. I opted out of the Manicure. My friend did not the person doing her nails did not speak. English therefore cut all her nails very short . She had requested a French and ended up just having the same color as her feet. I would say if you're looking for quality this is not the nail salon for you either. read more

I specifically requested Stephanie for my dip manicure as a friend recommended her, however someone else started the process of removing the dip but I thought she was just helping her. To my surprised few minutes into it I realized that I was assigned to someone different, and I felt bad complaining. Finally, Stephaine walked near me and I told her, but she acted surprised and said that the system didn't have the request. However she was the one that greet me and my reservation had the request on it. She was just busy doing more important things that decided to give my booking to someone else...someone new that had very little experience. To say the least my "dip Power" is coming off after few days, my nails are uneven and the whole service was just not relaxing. I get my nails done every other week so I know the process very well this lady did everything different and the results shows them. Sorry never coming back and I won't recommend anyone to come either. No wonder this place is always empty and other reviews talk about how easy is to get in... read more

Full disclosure: This was my first manicure in 15 years, and my very first pedicure. I loved that I could just walk in, no appointment required. I started with the pedicure, and was placed in a massage chair. Minus the star for that: it was the most uncomfortable massage I have ever had from a chair, and was actually a little painful at times. The pedicure was lovely. I have extremely ticklish feet, and the tech never got me once! From there I was moved out into "general pop" and received my manicure. Again, a lovely experience. I had artificial nails put on where needed, and opted for a dip powder. Best decision ever! My nails didn't show any signs of wear for at least a month! I don't get manicures (and certainly not pedicures) on the regular, like a lot of people do, so I can't say with any certainty that I will be back, but I did enjoy my experience and would recommend. 34/2023 read more

After a long COVID absence I've started traveling again and can no longer get away with busted nails. I came back to LaVie because I'd had good experiences and you can book online. To be fair, I had some solid appointments and everyone that works here is really nice. I booked an appointment for 3pm today more then a week ago. On my way in, they called and said my tech was running 15 minutes behind - ok, NBD. I was plopped into a pedi chair and sat there until 3:30, the water is cold and they're still not ready for me. So I left because I do not have all night. They called me at 3:50 (almost an hour late!) to see if I still wanted to come in. No. I do not. I took pains to make an appointment and to show up on time. I understand things happen and sometimes there are delays but 30+ minutes (realistically it would have been close to 1 hour) - that's a no from me, dawg. Plenty of other places doing the same services who will respect my time. C'est La Vie, I guess. read more

My friend and I went in around 10am for manis and pedis. They take in walk-ins, which is convenient cause we didn't think to make an appointment. You don't have to wear a mask, they'll have you sanitize your hands and then fill out a form to see if you have any symptoms or have traveled. The pedicure was nice, my tech did a very thorough job and was nice. I asked for a french SNS manicure and I was bummed out when she told me they don't do french color dip, so she did the clear SNS french base coat dip and then did my color in gel. My tech did a very thorough job on that too. I had to rush her though in order to be able to get to my 12:30pm appointment on time. In doing so, the french tips have slight brush marks on the side. I believe if I didn't have to rush she would've done it without those marks. I do like the soft almond shape she did. Under different circumstances, I can see myself liking this place, but because it took longer than expected and I was getting anxious about being late that turned my experience a little negative. However, for the most part, I do like the color and how they turned out! read more

Everyone was kind and they did a great job adjusting to my needs. Highly recommend this place!

I typically always come here for pedicures and never have any issues. I always book the Deluxe and get gel so $60 for the service. Today I came in for my appointment at 1:30 and was pretty quickly sat in the pedicure chair, where I then sat for an additional 30 minutes without the pedicure starting. When the nail technician finally came over he completely rushed through the "pedicure" and didn't even exfoliate the bottom of my feet. Instead he put lotion on my legs and feet and genuinely felt that was acceptable. I book the deluxe for the paraffin treatment but it also comes with the exfoliating scrub, essential oils, soak and the essential oil lotion and is a 50 minute process. Instead he flew through it and was "done" in 15. Even the regular pedicures are listed as 45 minutes worth of service. It's unfortunate, but I will obviously not be returning. A completely ridiculous experience. read more

I opted for dipped manicure and shellac pedicure. The man who did my manicure didn't speak much english, it was difficult to tell him what I wanted, so I showed him a pic, "i no do that". So I ended up with a basic manicure. He did a good job, it just wasn't what I wanted. I went with my Mom and sister-in-law, I was the only one who got a manicure, and we didn't get to enjoy a pedicure together, because they had me do the pedicure second. Overall, nice job, just wasn't what I was expecting. read more

Terrible manicure. Chopped my nails with clipper after me saying "do not cut my nails." Two burns from the dremel tool. Dicey sanitation. Had to ask him to stop using the nippers after I saw the condition of them - maybe cleaned last in the 90's? I have nail polish on the edges of three fingers (see photo) and an overall crappy job. Don't waste your money. read more

The service and quality of this place is immaculate! I love coming to them for all my nail needs! staff is super friendly!

Takes FOREVER. No matter if you have an appointment or not be ready to wait. Pedicure was very nice, especially the leg/foot massage but was not worth how long I sat unattended in the chair (the water got cold). Seems like they take more clients than they can accommodate for. Cleanliness wise it's okay. Staff seem friendly but very unorganized in terms of clients and overbooking. Overall there are better places in the area for the same price. read more

Best nail experience I have had lately. The price was right, the quality was high, she took her time and did a good job. However, she was a litle distracted by each and every person who came in the door and would stop to greet them, ask what they needed, and mark on a sheet which near the end got a bit frustrating. Most nail places these days don't go down to your cuticle and she definitely did which I reallllly appreciated. 1 week out and they still look great! read more

Pedicure appointment. Got me right in. Staff Pushed hard to get the most pampering pedicure. I specifically asked if there was more foot massage and I would get the upgrade (at nearly double the cost) if foot massage was good. Oh yes they assured me it would be. Well, my legs got rubbed back and forth but as far as massaging my feet really at all, it just didn't happen. It was a nice treatment and an acceptable pedicure but not a treat for $58 read more

Holy Cow! This is what a nail salon should be. I was in WI for a show and needed my nails done ASAP. I loved the booking online, they adhere to strict Covid guidelines, and were very efficient. The employees were so nice and you can tell they actually appreciate your business. It was a nice change from other salons who make you feel like you're bothering them, rush you, or constantly try to up-sell you. They really do care about what the customer wants and deliver. Like a nail salon breath of fresh air. Anytime I'm in WI I will go back. read more

La Vie Nails & Spa - This is 2 1/2 weeks out and I don't love my hands but wanted to share what a great job they did giving me exactly what I wanted. - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

One of the worst full sets I've ever gotten. First of all, I made an appointment online for a gel full set with shellac polish, but the man doing my manicure absolutely used acrylic yet still charged me for a gel full set. Second, the shaping and polish job was awful. Several of my nails look crooked and are very uneven. The man put globs of polish on my nails and the result ended up looking very, very bumpy and the bottom of the nail was noticeably jagged. I am extremely embarrassed and am counting down the days until I can get a full elsewher I was extremely disappointed in my results here and will not be back. The reviews seemed very promising but it seems that it depends on the tech you get. I had a young man but do not remember his name. read more

Have been coming here off and on for a couple of years now. It's no longer convenient for me but I go out of my way because they always do such a great job. No matter who I get, I always leave feeling like I got what I wanted. Im picky about the shape of my nails and take forever to choose a color and they are patient with me. Pricing is very reasonable and they can always fit me in. No complaints whatsoever. read more

I called ahead to see if they had time to squeeze me in for a mani/pedi and they said no problem to come on in and even took my name down. When I arrived I was pretty rushed into the chair and they started filing my nails and barely let my feet soak at all before getting down to work. I'm not gonna lie, I was fine with the multi tasking and just really needed a clean up before attending a weekend wedding. I knew things we're heading down hill when the nail tech didn't stop the massage chair and began painting my nails while standing and leaning over my feet in between the coats that she was putting on my toes. My cuticles were not properly trimmed, the polish was slathered on sloppily and then she ran off to attend to a bridal party that had arrived and clearly had an appointment. I was upset! I got up and asked to check out and I told her that I was really unhappy and she kept insisting to let her clean it up. Not to be a jerk- but this was a botched job and they really skipped some steps. It needed to be redone. I said no but I showed it all to her and told her I would pay something since scrubbed my feet (not well but still- that's not a pleasant job). - $40! TERRIBLE! Shame on you. It would have been better to say that you were booked up. Shameful. read more

My friend and I came to this appointment around 10am and didn't get done till around 12:10. We were getting mani's and pedi's and did not anticipate that it would take that long, and we had to be somewhere at 12:30. But, overall I think the tech took her time shaping my nails and I do think she did a great job on the shape. I wanted them shorter than usual this time so they did just that. They did switch techs in the middle of my appointment. So after the shaping a new tech came in to paint. I initially wanted French tips but I just didn't like the way it came out. He painted the tips of my right hand and before I cured it I said I did not like it so they took off the polish. I asked for a light purple and picked one out but the color was nothing like what it appeared on their display so I requested a different color. They were nice through all this and complied and I appreciate that. read more

I went to La Vie and asked to have an acrylic fill. Even thought I had an appointment they said it would be 45 minutes but I could get a dip. My nails were in really good shape and long prior to the technician soaking them for 25 + minutes as she walked away to the back room. By the time she came back the nail bed was so thin she had to cut them down to the tip. As the technician walked away for endless amounts of time she then applied the wrong dip color. When she was finished she just walked in the back and said nothing. My nails look horrible. I will NEVER go back to La Vie. She charged $57 to ruin my nails. read more

I feel like most nail salons are hit or miss depending on the technician but I like this place because 1) easy online booking for appointments for your requested person and 2) I found a person that I regularly go back to. I usually splurge for the La Vie pedicure which includes an extended massage and hot stone and I have found Dom (technician) is the great at this. He's also super thorough with the pedicure itself. read more

Exactly what I wanted. A regular manicure with natural looking polish. He really look the time to get the polish as close to the edges as possible. They did a great job! Friendly staff. Huge polish selection. I couldn't find a pale pink at first and they helped me find the perfect shade. Check them out! read more

Heard about this place from a friend. Right off the bat, I liked that you can make appointments online. Anything to make life easier and avoid a line is a smart business move. When I arrived for my appointment there was a line of other people waiting. I was slightly worried about them prioritizing walk-ins, but that was a baseless concern. As soon as I checked in, they started setting up a spot for my manicure. They had SO MANY nail color options for gel, which is always appreciated. Unfortunately, I picked my color and it was unavailable. So he grabbed the other options and helped me come up with a similar color (the benefits of having multiple brands). From there, it was all pretty efficient. Not a lot of small talk from the man doing my nails, but that's not always necessary in my opinion. He did a nice job with the brief hand massage. All in all, the attention to detail was great. I did end up having to come back because several of my nails started to lift off three days after. When I came in, they re-did it no questions asked. I will definitely return here and give them another shot! read more

Okay BY FAR best customer service ever at a nail salon. There was a wedding party so they were PACKED. (Which is good btw). I signed in, left my phone number, and when my chair was ready they called me and I walked right to my chair! The receptionist girl (forgot her name ) was super helpful and accommodating. She helped me pick a color for toes and hands and had a great attitude! My nail tech Van who did my toes was very nice and did a great job. The massage was not the best I ever had, but it was good. Then the nail tech Tom who did my full set and gels on my hands was very gentle but quick! You can tell by the before and after picture I needed his handy work! Booked a pedicure later that day for my boyfriend :) I will be back, def found go to place. FYI - I ordered the 3rd pedicure package, plus design for $50 Full sets w/gels on my hands for $45. Total $95, with 15% tip for both techs ($15). I'll prob just do the basic pedicure for $30 next time and a fill (price unknown) read more

I really don't like this place. I came here with my Mom because it had good reviews and it did the dip nails. My Mom's pedi was good but my dip nails were awful. Not only did the guy cut me - not once, not twice but THREE times - they are already chipping and it's been a week. Normally my nails with dip last for over a month! I'm really really disappointed. I wanted to like this place but I just don't like being cut or my nails chipping way earlier. Also, while the guy was doing my nails- he seemed VERY distracted. Anyways- beware! Don't get dip. Do the pedi but don't do dip. read more

First visit and I will not be returning. My shellac manicure looks good but the lady cut my cuticle and it bled. Ouch! My pedicure was the worst one I have had. It was so extremely rushed and the polish job looks like it was done by a 10 year old. Tried to tell her I wanted to wait for my girlfriend to show up, but she insisted on getting started even though I had an appointment for a later time. The entire salon just seems to not care much about the client but more about how quickly they can get their clients in and out the door. my shellac lasted only a good 25 mins and my pedicure was about 20 mins only. The also resuse the same file for multiple clients, GROSS and unsanitary. I may be from out of town, but I do visit often. My next service will be some place else. read more

Work is ok but they lack great customer service. Not satisfied with my visit. Spend your money somewhere else. Nails done in a hurry.

My significant others manicure service was horrible as all they did was a quick snip. I got a dip tip and my fingers nails were not smooth and my thumb nail was big an lumpy! Quite disappointed. I usually come here to get my nails done, but now I guess it's time to find a new place. read more

I have come here several times now since moving to the area and I have been impressed every time! They are very conscious of appointment and wait times and do their best to take care of you if your services are affected. I visited today amongst the COVID restrictions and must say, I felt very safe. They had many measures in place such as asking customers to sanitize upon entering, performing questionnaire and temperature screening, and masks by both employees and customers, which are by appointment only. At the stations they had large shields to protect each person with only a space open to put your hands through to do the services. I am very happy with my nails and he had excellent attention to detail, my appointment was also done within a timely manner. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this nail salon! read more

It's all in the little things. This cozy salon is my new it spot. From the long pedi messages with the comfy chairs (even ones for little kids!) to the one last touch up before I leave the chair, you are liven the life when you're in La Vie Nails. There's a good vibe going on between all of the people who work there. Lots of smiling, very peaceful. My friend and I started a new tradition to get each other pedis for our birthdays, and it all started here, today was our second year! I made two appointments online (one for each of us) which was super convenient. I called to give them a heads up it was my friend's birthday. I ended up calling them again like 5min before my app to let them know there was an accident, so I will be 20min late. They were wishing me safe travels and no worries. And they greeted us with such warmth and bday wishes! Walk-ins are totally welcome. The deluxe pedi is a treat, and treatment! With hot towels, a mask and massage. Yup, luxury. It was like almost closing time when we were getting our toes painted, still with a dip mani yet to start. So we offered to come back another day. And they were so accommodating and kind! No worries no worries they'll do the dip tonight. That to me was so so so kind to stay after hours for us. We weren't the only ones around (especially for being a Tuesday night). Dip is new to me and I'm loving it more and more. La Vie does the whole dip then file then massage (I've gotten dip nails at only one other place and they didn't give me a massage, so this was a nice surprise). And then last minute she took a closer look at my hands to ensure everything is cleaned up. Attention to detail and great personalities from each person working makes me feel like I found my place. So glad we found La Vie on Yelp. read more

However, this place is gorgeous, professional, and Stephanie does amazing nails. I asked her for red stiletto nails for Christmas and they are gorgeous.

I visited this salon for the first time this past weekend. The salon is very nice, the prices are fair, the massage chairs are oooon point! It was easy to make a reservation on the phone. The person who did my nails (John) however did not have the slightest clue as to what he was doing. 3 of my toes were smudged after my pedicure. I asked him to fix them. He took the polish off and put one coat on and that was it. They still look terrible. He also told me to put my shoe on before they were dry, with him full well knowing they were still wet. Then we go to do the powder dip for my fingers and he puts the wrong top coat on. So now I have several smudged fingernails to match my toes. He has to ask another employee several times what to do to fix it and after FOUR tries on my pinky finger he finally got it right after prematurely touching it several times and having to fix it. I was there for 3 hours and still left very dissatisfied. I was not offered a discount or any other consolation for my terrible service which was infuriating. My two girlfriends had similar services though and were happy. I would maybe return and encourage any other patrons to proceed with caution. Whatever you do, definitely do NOT let John anywhere near your nails. read more
