LAVIE NAILS & SPA - My Cajun Shrimp - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

My husband and I were in town for some island living when unexpected rain ruined our beach day. We decided to visit this location due to proximity & we do not regret it! It was a Friday so it was pretty slammed in there but Nathan made sure we signed in after he asked what services we needed. After a short wait Nathan got started on my removal & my husband got sat for his pedicure. I would like to mention that Nathan was just absolutely running the floor. He was able to go from patron to patron & seamlessly assist with different services. He made sure everyone was taken care of & apologized if there was any wait. Our services were fabulous! Thank you so much for a great experience. read more

LAVIE NAILS & SPA - Gel manicure after acrylic removal - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

We are snow birds and I decided to get my nails done in March before heading back to Missouri. First of all Nathan did my nails and when I made my appointment I asked for dip nails. Well I ended with some type of gel that actually held up really well. The problem being is that one of my nails got infected and it took me about a month to clear that up, and another nail was filed into my nail bed, and now it is still sore and turning brown. It started turning brown about 2 weeks after getting home. Now, my tech has to be very careful taking the old off. Also, Nathan likes to do what he wants not what the customer wants. I wanted the tips painted a couple of colors but he insisted on doing them white. He said it was much easier. I probably should have stood my ground on that one. I am the customer and should get what I want. I definitely would not recommend this salon, and won't go back to it next year. read more

LAVIE NAILS & SPA - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

This is all personal preference. Not what I expected or am accustomed to. I'm here for a relaxing weekend and decided to get a pedicure. It's a typical nail salon. Nothing fancy and kind of dated. Folks are nice enough and there wasn't a wait. I figured most folks are at the beach on a Saturday afternoon. Did I get what I pad for, mostly. Did I like the person doing the work, I suppose. The problem is he just wasn't good at his job. Totally my opinion and someone else might think he's the best ever. But let me give you a few specifics. To start off with, he set a timer. I've never had any one do that and found it odd, especially since it was not busy at all. I'm not sure if it was to make sure he didn't go over the 55 minute time or to make sure he went the full 55 minute time. He is horrible at giving massages. It was not relaxing at all. He held the hot stone like it was a paintbrush and just kept going in small, fast circular motions. It felt like he was washing dishes instead of giving a massage. Not relaxing at all. He also never massaged my feet. He kept focusing on my shins....which is weird too. Like, I have calves and feet that also have tired, weary muscles. Lastly, he didn't really attempt to work on the callouses on the bottom of my feet. It was more like a super quick drive by. Maybe he just needs more training and this is seriously a first world problem, but enough to make me feel like I need to leave a review. So back to, did I get what I paid for? Yes, and no. I did get a pedicure and he did all the things but not really. And part of what you pay for is the experience and the relaxation and there was absolutely zero on that one. I've had a pedicure but it felt like more of a polish change. Here I am one hour later and I still have sore, un-massaged feet. I did really like the music they played there though. That was the best part of the whole experience. read more

Nathan was great! He helped pick out the colors from my photo, which I really appreciate not having to look through and find the right colors, and my nails look great! I stopped in while on vacation because I didn't have time before we left. They have a ton of colors, which was really nice and made it easy to match the photo I brought in. Left with mermaid nails and really pleased with them. read more

Excellent Nail Salon! Andrew did an exceptional job on nails and toes! He took his time and the results are amazing for SNS nails and gel pedi! Thank you! Lisa read more

Great experience! Will definitely go back the next time I'm in the area. The ingredients they used during my pedicure were all natural and the massage was so relaxing during my pedicure I almost fell asleep! read more

LAVIE NAILS & SPA - Aloe and lime for pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

I went here for a standard manicure/pedicure. The tech who did my service wasn't very friendly and was very rough for both services. I don't get colored manicures and just requested a clear coat of standard nail polish. She ripped my cuticles pretty badly and made me bleed, then applied gel coat without the UV treatment. It all peeled off within 24 hours. When I returned the next day to get it fixed, the service wasn't very nice and sanded my nails down to the beds and made me bleed again! My nails are dirty and have dust bits stuck in the polish. This place was generally not very clean and their work is shoddy and rushed. I would not recommend any services here. Update: less than 5 hours after my second visit to fix the manicure, the polish has started to peel off. I am not generally hard on my nails and I've never had such an awful experience as this. read more

LAVIE NAILS & SPA - Full set with powder nail polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

I am so pleased! I got the #12 pedicure with Mike and a full set with Nathan. The massage chair was a great one! Both gentlemen had wonderful attention to detail. They both were kind and listened to exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed my experience! read more

I am writing this review based on the experience of my wife and daughter, who got manicures and pedicures and absolutely loved the experience. They said the nail techs were really good and they were offered wine (sprite for my kid) and snacks while they had the job done. They highly recommend the experience, and they both were in a good mood for the rest of the day so my son and I appreciated it too. read more

I have been to several nail salons in the area, this is one that I will return to. Fast, friendly and paid attention to details and fair pricing. Mike did my pedicure and Nathan did my nails (dip nails). I was able to have both done at the same time. So thankful to have found Lavive and can't wait to return! read more

Great experience at LaVie. The salon has 9 chairs for Pedicures. It's a smaller more relaxing place to go, with soft music and a great ambiance. The staff was kind. Mike was a fantastic nail tech. He took his time and was very friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

Come here regularly and they never disappoint. They always do a wonderful job.. I have pedicures with gel and my nails dipped.. Totally recommend read more

LaVie specializes in gel and/or shellac and recommends this as your polish choice. I do not use gel as it damages my nails so I looked at the equivalent non gel polishes, which they do carry. Kathy did my nails and was very patient as I chose a color. She shaped my nails nicely, which is important to me, and they looked beautiful at the end. Kathy was kind, patient, gives a massage that is magic, and a great nail technician. I was very happy with the way my nails came out. The owner or manager of the salon was also very helpful. Things to consider if you go here though: there were ants crawling around the pedicure chair space, which happens in a beach town, but was unexpected, and they really do seem like they want you to use shellac. I was, and still am, looking for a salon with non toxic, 5 free, 7 free or 9 free polishes and nail polish remover, which is difficult to find most places, I realize. But I still always look. I enjoy getting manicures and pedicures... especially a pedicure as a treat. If anyone knows a salon or spa in the area that carries these, I'm interested. But again, I know this is hard to find. Kathy was great (thank you!) and the salon was very friendly, they took me as a walk in about 90 minutes from closing and my nails were beautiful. read more

Lavie did amazing! My nails are so perfect every time and last me at least a MONTH! I definitely recommend Nathan! He's so sweet and does them super quick. He definitely has TONS of experience. read more

Wow!!! My nails have honestly never looked this beautiful. Holy cow wish I lived here so I could come back again. Nancy did an amazing job with so much detail to make sure that they came out perfect. So many colors and lots of stations and staff. Plus they have cleaning records behind each chair. Awesome. Thank you so much!!! read more

Mr. Dan and Nathan were kind and considerate. My teen was very happy with her nails! Highly recommend!

Nathan is awesome! I had tried so many places in Corpus and the island until I found this place, highly recommended!!

Well... I didn't think that spending hours in a salon was my idea of a good time, my wife got her nails done here for the first time bc their picture looked great plus , You have to try something new once, right? But her nails did not come out anywhere near like pictures are shown or what the picture she showed them for one her nails were all the way to her cuticles to where her skin is stuck in the nail and they were thicker than the picture we continued to tell Nancy but they continue saying it would look better after she was done yet they still looked the same and since we said something she literally starting being rude and really aggressive. I dont recommend her at all ! Thanks to Nathan for making the tips look good. Here is the nails we asked for and what we got read more

LAVIE NAILS & SPA - French with white glitter!! Love - Nail Salons Near Me - Corp Christi, Texas

A little late on my review, but wanted to make sure I had a chance to give some feedback. My daughter and I visited over Spring Break, and they had just opened. They were so nice and welcoming. The salon was very clean and they definitely had their COVID-19 protocol in place, which I very much appreciated. It was very easy to make an appt via Yelp and they responded quickly. I will look forward to visiting them again next year and hope the best for a new business opening in the time of a pandemic. Best of luck, and support local! read more

Love this place!! I had a lot going on today called them the last 30 mins they were open and they said sure come on in!! They worked on three of us that came in for 2 hours. I felt bad because we got so many things we wanted but they never once made me feel unwelcome... This will be my place to go. All our feet and hands are perfect! Thank you guys for doing such a great job and being accommodating! read more

I 100% recommend this place. First time there and I loved it! Dan took care of me and went above and beyond. Staff is friendly and the place was nice and clean. read more

He is always so nice and offers us drinks and refills throughout our whole visit. He is amazing at doing nails and such a cool guy. Thank you Lavie!! read more

Beware. Some of the staff are rude. The old lady with the short short hair is not nice and will say mean comments about you. I tried this place last week and will not go back. Overpriced as well! read more

Be extremely weary of going to this salon. They cut corners by using extremely harsh products to remove gel polish from nails. I left with my toenails melted off and a couple of them bleeding from the exposed skin. read more

Best place for a manicure. I've had my nails done for years but had started dreading it so bad. They would have me in a chair sometimes two hours all while packing on acrylic so thick it was ridiculous. Today I tried Lavie. I was greeted by Nathan who was attentive and very gracious. I was literally in the chair getting a full set and done in less than thirty minutes. The man is amazing. I highly recommend. Very clean very professional very efficient. read more

My sister and I made an unplanned stop at Lavie Nails and Spa today. Best decision! The shop is super clean and the owner and staff are amazing. We had the higher-end essential oil pedicures and they were fantastic. 75 minutes of relaxing pampering. I followed it with a much-needed manicure. Chose the aloe vera one and it, too, was fantastic. My tech was a young man (Bang) and he did a terrific job. Found out as we were checking out that they were running a grand opening promotion, so all of our services were 30% off. Perfect end to an incredible experience. I just wish I lived here on the Island so I could use them regularly. read more

Great interior - everything is new and modern. Feels like a higher class nail salon. Will return for sure

Tracey and Wendy and Nathan are awesome - super customer service - would highly recommend

This is the best nail salon on the Island! Every time I go in Nathan does the exact design I want and every pedicure is amazing. The staff is always hospitable, the salon is very clean, and they always keep your drinks full! read more
