    Been going to this nail salon ever since i was in high school. Love love love this place! Tammy does such a great job at designing nails, she's fast, always has a clean table, and knows exactly what you want! Got my Valentine's day nails and i think these are my favorite of all time!!!!

    Overall I loved the acrylics I had done, they were even, not thick and the shape that I wanted. Unfortunately, less than 2 weeks after having them they already started lifting. Very frustrating after the amount of money paid for this. And within an hour after writing this review, the acrylic popped off. Absolutely wouldn't recommend this place.

    Super great nail salon with highly skilled technicians!! I showed them an inspo picture and they got it perfect with some customized elements. Quick service with a nice vibe.

    Look how perfect my nails look. Tammy did an amazing job!

    Tammy can do anything! Find a design and she will turn it in to your reality. Just take a look at these photos from my dip manicure today.

    Cat eyes

    Amazing cat eyes design with reasonable price. Tammy is always nice and helpful when I didn't know what design I should get. She is very on time to her appointment. Finish work quickly and professionally. Love it.

    Horrible job, even the polish isn't even. Terrible

    Don't think I will ever be coming back or recommending this place. For starters I called ahead, they said they could take me for a gel mani and pedi. Another woman started to do my mani while I'm getting my pedicure, didn't soak my nails before starting to cut my cuticles etc, had my arms in an awkward position while she's then trying to start my color with the gel... I was uncomfortable and couldn't even enjoy my pedicure. It felt very rushed. On top of that, she messed up and then decided she'd just wait to get to a table. I got to the table and she's still not doing a great job with the color. She tried to cut my cuticles again and cut skin, made me bleed quite a bit and then had to redo the polish multiple times. She messed up enough that she ended up needing to do 4 coats of the gel polish... unreal. Then at the end, didn't even offer a discount for messing up my nails. I won't even get started on the screw up for the design I asked for. I'm honestly not sure why this place has such good reviews. There are pictures to show what happened. $70 for this awful botch job, I'm a nice human so I still gave her a $10 tip that was very much not deserved for an awful experience. UPDATE: I ended up being upset even after getting into my car and about to drive home so I walked back in and asked for a refund for my manicure and they did give me $40 back, without any fight so I'm glad for that. Still won't be coming back but glad they were understanding.

    Tammy is amazing! She always does a great job on my nails and can do any design. I've been coming to her for 2 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    I came to La Vie when Kevin worked here. He did an outstanding job and was super friendly. I went in this past week and unfortunately Kevin is no longer there, so a lady did my pedicure/no chip. I asked for French manicure no-chip. Big mistake. The lady kept complaining how tired she was and complaining that they were so busy. Then she left the foil/polish remover on for so long (had a no-chip on already) that my fingers started to burn. The French manicure looks like I tried to do my own nails, my skin is flaking off on my fingers, and the nails look orange for some reason. Im frustrated that I had these done for Christmas lol Oh well!

    My pedi felt a bit rushed but my no chip manicure was done very nicely :) overall clean

    Acrylic overlay on my nails ...love the shape. Love Shelley

    The DDmani 2025 tour continues. Is this how roadies feel, when the band goes to venue after venue…read moreand it starts to blend together? I'll post my reviews right after the manicure so that the details are fresh in my mind. This was one of the pricier salons on my pursuit of the Dazzle Dry manicure. Mind you, it was not the $70+ from the Canyon Ranch at The Palazzo, but it was $38 plus tip, which is on the upper side of the range, considering I've been doing this weekly. The Lacquer Lounge is bright and spacious, with lots of tables and pedicure stations. I sat facing the windows and could watch the passersby in this busy Willow Festival shopping center.They didn't have a large selection of DD colors, and Hannah had to keep shaking the bottle and at one point she went to warm up the bottle? thin out the polish? because the texture was getting thick. Still, she did a nice job with the cuticles and hand massage and the color looks great. The other nail technicians had on cute pink uniforms although she did not. The salon was relaxing and was clean and I liked that every station had cleaner and the tables, chairs and furniture were well-cared for. The salon was busier than the other ones I've gone to recently.

    Very rude staff and odd (?) clientele. My usual nail salon was booked, so called to make a same day…read moreappointment. The person on the phone was courteous, but the staff at the salon were strangely rude and unwelcoming. Getting your nails done should be a relaxing, pleasant experience especially when you're paying a premium price. I rarely complain about service, but this place was an anomaly. Even the clients were glaring at each other rudely, including men staring at women inappropriately. With several other great nail salons in Northbrook, I'd recommend prospective clients go anywhere but here.
