I recently moved to the area and went to Nail 7 to get gel powder (ANC). When I arrived, I had get…read morepowder on my nails from 2 weeks prior, when I had my nails done at my former salon in a different city. The nail tech here started using the electric nail filer (nail drill) on my nails to get the polish off, but I explained that my nails are super sensitive to the heat that comes off those machines, so I prefer to have my nails wrapped in tin foil and nail polish remover to get the polish off. She said that the electric filer, was the only way to get the polish off, that there was no other way to do it, to which I explained, "I undersand it's your preference to use the nail drill because it's faster, but it's not the only way. I've had my nails done with gel powder for nearly 5 years and you can wrap my nails in polish remover." She argued with me again and said there was no other way to do it. I decided to let her use the drill since I was already there and needed my nails done for an upcoming event and within minutes, was pulling my hand away in reaction to the heat--I explained again that I wished my nails weren't so sensitive to the heat, but that they are. She then spoke with her coworkers in a different language, and she insisted again that there was no other way, and I repeated myself that there was another option and didn't understand why they wouldn't just wrap my nails in polish remover. Stubborn and argumentative, I ended up leaving with a half done set of nails. Seems this salon doesn't understand the concept of supporting the customer's needs. I won't be back.

Pros: * Large selection of colors…read more* chairs are comfortable * great atmosphere - calm and inviting When I first walked in, I was immediately concerned that they wouldn't have time to handle my full set. I was pleasantly surprised as they said they could fit me in. This was my first time coming to this salon and really enjoyed my time there. Didn't know it at the time, but the owner began my nails for me, which I very much appreciated. Vivi was very attending and I loved that she had no issue jumping into help her employees. When I had a question about the bill, she happily explained it to me as I was confused on the gel color charge. My normal nail salon has this incorporated in their pricing. It made sense once explained. UV Gel full set $60 Stiletto shape $5 Gel color $15 = $80 Will definitely be back again - had a great experience.

The inside of the nail spa is bright and clean. One wall is lined massage chairs with foot baths, the other side is lined with nail stations. They offer a variety of services at affordable prices. You can call ahead to make an appointment or reserve some chairs together if you have a group. They are good for birthdays, mother's day, valentine's day, anniversaries, getting ready for a bug event like a wedding or just in need of some self care. They are great for both men and women alike. I find it nice treat myself to a pedicure twice a year. They massage my calves, feet, exfoliate my skin, scrub off calloused skin, and make my look and feet feel great. This was my fifth visit to Vivi Nails and I should have reviewed them sooner!

I definitely got that! The most full it ever got while I was there was 3 total customers in the salon, myself included. They didn't rush me, they were very kind, and they made sure I liked my service and the way my nails looked. They give you a good shoulder massage with your manicure and hot stones and massage with the pedicure. I got the classic pedicure and ANC with tips for $65. I thought it was a super fair price considering how much work and care was put in!! Absolutely love this place. Ann and Lee are soooo kind. The one thing I would say is: if you are in a rush, don't come here. They are very careful and give you a full experience, so if you are trying to get in and out, you might want to try somewhere else. For both services, I was there over two hours.

Clean, friendly atmosphere. Mani pedi was nicely done. Very relaxing. I will be back with friends!read more

I hadn't looked at my nails closely told the technician that it was ok to just file my nails. She noticed that I had broken one nail and suggested that she cut my nails a bit so that they'd be even. I agreed and my nails look great. The shape is perfectly oval and the cuticles are super smooth. My pedicure was great too. I was offered something to drink during my pedicure. The space is very clean and everyone is friendly. It's always nice to walk into a new nail salon and be treated like a long time customer. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to come back.

When I asked the guy to wrap my nails in foil during the pedicure to save time. He just waved me off and said Later. I had to insist because I did not want to waste time.Even the female nail techs were agreeing with me. He said something rude to them and then begrudgingly got the foils and wrapped my nails. Sure enough, they slid right off when it was time to start the manicure. The guys there in that establishment have a real attitude towards women in my opinion. Even though I don't understand the language, I got the gist of what was going on. There are other salons in the area. I would skip this place

However, it's a bit of a snooze fest - I'm stuck playing with my phone for 30 minutes, which isn't really my thing. They don't really converse with you. I started coming here a few weeks ago after my old salon took a decline in sanitation. Anyway, the $30 gel manicure turn out to be $37, and when I asked about gratuity, I got a big fat maybe - first they said yes, then no, and only cash tips are accepted, allegedly. Can someone please enlighten me? Still on the hunt for my dream nail salon, but this one will do for now. I assumed gratitude was included bc they added on almost $7. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm....

If I had to sum up my manicure in one word, it would be HARSH…read more I came in with gel and they used an old school bowl full of remover to soak it off, and it took a lots of soaking. As my hand would sit in the bowl, they had it covered with a dry washcloth. The manicurist were alternate between soaking up and scraping off the polish. As my hand sat in the bowl, the washcloth ended up getting soaked and they just covered my hand again and again with the wet washcloth. I told the technician ahead of time that my nails were very thin and she nodded as if she understood. As she removed the polish, she wore through a couple of my nails, where one tore at my fingertip. Course files were used the entire time, and the area around my nails, ended up being raw. There was no consistency in shaping the nails, I actually left worse off than when I came in. Polish was applied on thinly and unevenly, and required lots of cleanup along the way. Even with the cleanup, I still left with polish around my nails. There was one UV light on the shallow and cramped station, and as one hand would cure should be polishing the second hand on top of the UV light. The manicure seemed to take a long time and I could feel the tension in my back from the way I was sitting. The seat sloped downward and you had to adjust yourself to be sitting straight, coupled with my armed constantly being raised due to the height of the UV light. I left here knowing I had to fix the shape and remove the excess polish once I got home. Avoid this place.

I've been to a LOT of places around the capital district and now I won't go anywhere else. While I don't get anything fancy, I'm pretty picky about the length of my nails and how they hold up until the next appointment (usually 3 weeks later) ... I always get compliments on how nice they look and feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Another reason I keep coming back is that I never feel pressured into make small talk. I'm not always in the mood to chat, but when I am, we have fun conversations ... I appreciate that they follow my lead.
