I have to write a review because it's Christmas and I realize everyone who works here probably is tired of the Christmas music by now but they always make sure the music and TV is what their clients wants all year long. They could choose something else to suit them as they are here long days. I have come here for years and Vivian the owner is a class act! I've gone to Tim for a long time now and he always does a superb job. Thank you for all you do. read more

This is not a place to go if you don't fit the Caucasian aesthetic. Waited over an hour after signing in, only to watch multiple people who arrived after me get served first. This was incredibly frustrating and felt unfair. At minimum, be honest about wait times and respect the order of your sign-in list. I won't be coming back. read more

This has been one of my favorite pedicure spots in the far east end for several years, and my most recent visit solidified its place for me. It has been a long week, and the home pedicure I had done a few weeks ago needed to be freshened up. I checked on the maps app for the hours of Venetian and was delighted to see they were open for another hour. I popped out of the house and headed that way. Unfortunately, the maps information was outdated, and when I walked in the employee informed me they were about to close. I was disappointed and turned to go when a nail tech volunteered to stay late and do my pedicure. It was strangely relaxing to be in the salon as the music went off and the remaining patrons made their way out. My pedicure was efficient but no less relaxing, and I greatly appreciated the extra service (reflected in the tip). Plus my toes now look amazing and sandal-ready for the next few weeks. I would love to branch out and try some new places, but this one hits the mark for me, so I'm hesitant to change it up in this area of town. If you need a pedicure in a clean, relaxing environment with massage chairs that work and employees who will do an amazing job, Venetian should be your go-to spot as well! read more

I walked in at 10 minutes after opening. 4 people came in behind me and they asked me to sit and wait while the others went straight back in. Some didn't even have appointments. It is an "upscale area" so maybe it's because I didn't have as much money as the others-I'm not sure why I was treated differently, but I don't recommend them. read more

Can't say enough positives. Every time we go I love it, but today's experience was off the charts. Amy did an exceptional job using what I will describe as acupuncture techniques. As a diabetic it took it to the next level. Amy was very skilled! read more

Went here for a pedicure and the guy literally didn't paint one of my toes!! And I left with 2 nails chipped (gel polish). He put my socks and shoes on before i could see the pedi results and when I got home I saw why!! I will notttttt be going back here! read more

I wanted to try a new salon hoping for good quality. I'm not sure I've ever had a worse manicure. I have dipped nails and there was no care at all for my cuticles and all of it is sloppy. I truly would not recommend this salon in good conscience. read more

Minh is amazing! I always have such a great experience with him! My future mother in law also had him do her nails this past week and she agreed with having a great experience! 5 stars for both Minh and Venetian! Thank you all read more

I do not recommend Venetian Nails. I came in for dip and a gel pedicure an hour and a half prior to the salon closing. The nail tech was in a hurry the entire appointment. The tech questioned everything I asked for-color, length, shape, etc. The tech was very rough with both my nails and toes. I was cut multiple times with the drill. They buffed my skin, and left me with scabs along the base of my cuticles. Another staff member asked for my payment while my hands were still under the gel light. It was very clear they all just wanted to go home for the evening. It was some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Needless to say, I will not be back. read more

Got acrylic nails and she made them super thick. She was extremely aggressive when doing my mani and pedicure. She definitely did not want to be there. I rarely get my nails done and she made it an extremely uncomfortable situation. I'll never go back and will not recommend to anyone. read more

Went in for a basic gel pedicure and dip manicure. When I got home noticed my feet were still rough on the bottom and had never been scrubbed. My gel polish on my toes started peeling and chipping within 3 days when normally it last months. It's been 2 weeks and 4 dip nails have popped off. Not impressed. Not sure if it was a lack of properly prepping and priming, but neither of those issues should be happening. read more

I have been going to Venetian Nails since they opened and have always had a nice experience. I went in yesterday, March 12, 2023 and it was not busy. I didn't have an appointment. I got the nail tech, Thanh Nguyen (at least that's who I sent a Venmo tip too) and he was very rude and I felt very uncomfortable with him. When I sat down he started pushing back my cuticles and I asked him if he used water to soften them. I thought this was a legit question. He got mad and said "let me do my job! I have been doing this for 22 years"! I really wanted to get up and leave but decided maybe he's having a bad day. After this experience I will not go in there anymore. There are way too many other nail salons (one on every corner) to feel uncomfortable. I did tip him because I always tip for services. He did do a good job but I was afraid to say anything to him. Very uncomforable. read more

Went to Venetian Nail Spa at Paddock Shops yesterday. I've been here for pedicures many times. When I walked in at about 1 pm the place was almost empty: three manicure customers and one pedicure when I walked in. Ten minutes after being sealed in a soak bath a woman walks by a d without looking my way said I needed to choose the type I want. I asked for a basic. When she started the pedicure she immediately started to upswell me on a "$55 pedicure. I declined and she brought it up twice more. She never smiled nor made any eye contact. I had set my timer on my Apple Watch when she started work on me. I turned the timer off after putting in my shoes and socks, paying, and walking to my car-- elapsed time was 16 minutes 34 seconds. That speaks for itself! When I got home, I checked the work and found uneven cuts on the nails indicating a poor job. This person was not interested in her job and in my opinion should look for differs work. I won't be going back to this place, ever. read more

Great location with a friendly staff! Vivian is wonderful! Does a great job and a pleasure to talk to while there. Minh also did a great pedicure for my wife this week. Thank you to Vivian! read more

I read lots of negative reviews and was considering finding another spa, but I had a great experience at Venetian. I didn't have an appointment. It was busy and I got right in. There were plenty of technicians. I was not "up sold" on my pedicure. I was shown a variety of options. No pressure. My massage was great and my nails looked pretty when I was done. I will return. (A rarely give a 5, but I was %100 satisfied) read more

Venetian Nails and Spa - A professional pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Went for a acrylic fill, ended up there over 3 hours and 3 technicians. Got scammed into getting a pedicure while getting nails done. Pedicure was minimal at best for 35.00 and was past on to an inexperienced person who made several mistakes along with burning my cuticles.. after complaint.. I moved again to A gentlemen name "T" . He attempted to fix the lumps of acrylics on my nails and did ok. Sad as I was offered 10% discount of 110.00 having to pay for a full set and pedicure when I only went in for a "fill". Guess there time is worth more than ours! read more

I have used this nail salon four times. Each time I have had a different Nail Tech. I always get a dip with light pink in a French Manicure. On my last visit 10/28 my Tech was Mike. Never use him for a French Manicure. My nails look awful - like he just went over the previous polish. The finish is not smooth - bumpy with ridges. I WILL NEVER USE MIKE AGAIN. I was impressed with the service quality the first three trips - one more bad experience will end my visits to Venetian. Disappointed Patron read more

Manicures are mediocre here but what really concerns me is that they don't wash the bowls that you soak your fingers in between the customers. They take a bowl from the top of the pile and then put the bowl back in the same place when finished. There is no separate shelf for used bowls. read more

I leave this place two stars because the quality of the manicure was not good, and the manicurist was rushed and impersonal. A manicure here is $17! That's five- six bucks more than most places. So, I would expect a higher level of manicure, yet I was disappointed. When I asked the manicurist twice to shorten my nails, she ignored me. I think they may not speak English (ugh frustrating!) I think that if you work at a nail place though, you should understand the word "shorter". Also, they play loud annoying music here. It like music out of a war video game or something- very dramatic and strange. The decor is nice: granite countertops, big waterfall glass things, nice chairs. However, this does not make up for the staff. I could have done just as good, if not a better job at home. The whole manicure experience was 20 mins. This place is like a factory with so many chairs and so many people running through. Again, very impersonal. The only way this could have been worse is if the manicurist did a bad paint job. I will not be back. read more

As far as any place I have gotten my nails done in Louisville, this was the cream of the crop. The sanitation of all the nail tools was done right in front of me, which is very important. Everyone has always been nice, and their english was excellent. I have pink and white acrylic nails, and this is the only place I've ever been to that can do them correctly. They look great and I typically only end up back for fills in every three weeks. The set up of the nail area is a little strange, where all the tables are next to each other. Overall, this is the most skilled and clean nail salons around. The price is higher than anywhere else in town, but in this area of town, it can be expected. read more

Julie was the employee who did my pedicure tonight and let me tell you, she was the WORST! I have fungus in both big toenails, so it requires acrylic nails while they're growing back. I specifically told the gentleman at the counter when I checked in that I would like someone who is VERY gentle. Here's a rundown of my experience: 1) whatever product they use for the acrylic made my toenail beds burn badly. They were on fire for a several minutes before that finally started subsiding. Pain experience #1. 2) She hurt my cuticles on both big toes and a couple other toes. She also slightly cut the top of the knuckles on my right foot while she was filing the toenails because she was going so fast. Pain experiences #2, #3, & #4. (My pic shows how red & sore my big toe area is) With that being said, imagine having someone continuously spray alcohol and get callous removal gel on top of your feet on the spots that have now been cut. It burns and is very painful!! 3) The color I chose for my toes she said was too sheer due to having the acrylics because you could see under it. So she chose the shade next to it as a base to make it opaque and then would put the sheer color on top. After my toes had been completely painted, she then asks if I like the color. It's hideous and not what I wanted at all, but I chose to get gel paint and it was 8:00 and too late to change anything. At this point I become aggravated and did some eye rolling and my face looked very unhappy. That's the extent of my rudeness toward Julie at this point. Now... We go to the front counter where she shows me the color I picked from the swatch, which is not even close to the gross color I got. Julie then proceeds to YELL at me in front of the other employee at the counter at how she's mad at ME and started berating me because I was being difficult??!?! Are you KIDDING ME?!? She continued to yell as she walked away about how she's done with me and how I've been difficult the whole time (I couldn't hear half the crap she was saying because of her distance and the music playing), but she was obviously insulting me. Meanwhile, the man at the counter keeps telling her to be quiet. I couldn't believe this nutjob!! Now I'm defending myself and I'm raising my voice so she can hear me over her own loud mouth and the music that's playing... that if I had done to her feet what she did to mine, there's no way she would have been so patient about it all. So here we are yelling back and forth with other customers still in the shop. I told her she can come back to the counter and have a conversation with me, but she was too scared to come close. I've never seen such an unprofessional employee. I was never rude to her during my pedicure, even through all the pain she was inflicting. I can't even put into words how livid I am right now. I hope the owner sees this on their security video and fires her ass! read more

At first I was excited. They're really nice and polite. I was getting the full set of acrylic nails. I showed the man a picture of how I wanted my nails done. Which was a very simple almond shaped nail and a FADED FRENCH. Sadly I had my hopes up when the man kept telling me was able to do my nails like I wanted and I can put the picture away. Got my nails done. Went to pay and didn't leave a tip. I was so disappointed. You can see my nail tips under the French part. Very disappointed and not going back for sure. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH $50. read more

I asked for a simple design.. instead of requesting help from a fellow nail tech, the worker proceeded to take over an hour just to paint my nails until giving up and leaving my nails poorly done (thick acrylic, incomplete design). I disappointingly accepted it and moved on. When it came time to pay, they did not disclose every little enhancement you ask for will be an additional charge. I was charged $83 total for the shape, upgraded nail polish, and the incomplete design on top of the regular full set rate of $52 that I thought I would be paying. They could do much better at informing their customers of an additional charge rather than surprising them at the counter. I've never been so disappointed and expected to pay an outrageous amount for poor work. read more

To make a long story short, this place sucks. I've gotten an infection in my finger before, and today the man who did my nails (fuck you, Peter) was so rude. I didn't like what he was doing to my nails which could have easily been fixed but HE DECIDED to wipe off the polish and start all over again. While doing this, he cussed at me, huffed & puffed, rolled his eyes and made sarcastic & rude remarks. EX: "do you still want this color, or are you gonna change your mind on that, too?" Just so fucking rude and proceeded to talk shit about me to the bitchy lady at the front desk, who laughed and looked out the door to see that I was listening to their whole conversation Never go here or see Peter (Also he blamed my misshapen nails on how tiny my thumb nail is) read more

Venetian Nails and Spa - Seriously, Peter? fuck off - Nail Salons Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I got a pedicure and manicure with my mom for a girls day and they cut my cuticles twice to the point of bleeding and overcharged us by 30$. They said the nail polish I picked out is going to be 5$ extra because it was glossier (not gel just regular polish) and ended up charging 10$ extra for the nails and toes each. I've been to nail salons all of my life and I'm Super disappointed as it seems as they only wanted to rip us off and add more costs to basic things. Also to add our pedicures lasted like 10 minutes and you can go get a deluxe pedicure somewhere else for the same price lol. read more

I've been coming here for a long time as a special treat, maybe 2-3 times annually. I was a little nervous reading some of the recent negative reviews bc I haven't been in almost a year due to Covid; however, I had a great experience! Kayla really took her time and it seemed like she was paying a lot of attention to detail. I never felt like she was rushing and the service she provided, from scrubbing my feet to a hot stone massage to my polish were all top-notch. There was a slight up charge for the OPI polish I selected, which I don't love bc I feel like that's pretty standard at every nail salon. But at the end of the day, I'm here for special pampering so I didn't mind as much. If I was coming on a regular basis, that might add up more. read more

Got the basic pedicure because I was short on time .. wonderful pedicure experience and customer service. I had been shopping all day and allowed my phone to go dead. They went out of their way to put me in a chair with a phone charger right away. I'm looking forward to coming back and checking out their other services read more

Atmosphere was great. Staff was so energetic, engaging and nice. Very quick too. I highly recommend this salon.

As soon as you walk in they ask you kindly to wash your hands! That made me feel like they were very serious about cleanliness which I love it's nicely decorated also and they respect your peace and quiet as you get your service done which I love! And thank you so much Mike hope to see you again soon also like to add they use sterilized disposable tools bonus points for that to!!! read more

I don't usually get my nails my done but I had a fun experience doing my nails here. It was an okay service. They don't really put a lot of effort on pedicure because they literally just put soap on my feet and washed it off. I honestly felt like they care more about just getting the job done than satisfying the customer and they are not very dedicated. Though they are nice and I had fun talking to the lady and they did a great job painting my nails. read more

If it were possible to give this salon 0 stars I would! I have never been treated so rudely and had such poor service in my entire life. I stopped by this location after class one day because it was literally 3 doors down and my regular spot didn't have any available time slots before work. I signed in and the receptionist asked for me to pick a color and then walked me back to a chair for a polish change on my toes followed by an acrylic fill-in. Initially, I thought "awesome, there wasn't a wait and I'm going to be out of here fast". Once in the chair Lyndsy/Lyndsi (I can't remember how she spelled it but remember it wasn't the typical way) sat in front of me and started taking off my toe polish. She never introduced herself or said she would be my technician just went to work. She then asked if I wanted a pedicure, I politely declined saying I didn't have time before work, she nodded and then asked if I wanted to get a gel pedicure and went into a diatribe about gel nails. Once again I declined and just asked for a regular polish change on my toes. She completed my toes and walked me to a table to start on my nails and then disappeared for 10 minutes. I thought that was strange but then thought maybe a different technician did my nails. She finally returned and as she was taking off my polish she kept touting the gel nail benefits and how I need to have that kind of nail instead of an acrylic fill-in or that I surely had time for a manicure. I once again politely declined and the entire time she filled-in/painted my nails she told me how I didn't know what I was doing by getting the acrylic and needed gel. At this point I was over it and just nodded. I handed her my card to pay before she painted my nails and asked her to put the tip on there. Apparently they don't do this and only want cash as a tip, uhm post this somewhere other than the drying station where you take me AFTER I've paid. (If it is posted somewhere else I didn't see it). So I apologized that I didn't have cash and was unaware of their policy. She was clearly perturbed and it went even further downhill after that. As she was painting my nails she smudged the paint and didn't take the top coat all the way to the side/bottom. When I asked if she could fix it she told me she had another appointment. WOW. I understand you may be mad I didn't know your tipping policy but really wouldn't you want me to come back and tip you the next time?! Save your money and go somewhere else, it's not worth the attitude you receive or price you pay. read more

Titz wanted me out of his hair because I was being whiny. So he dumped me at Venetian Nails and Spa while he did some shopping and hung out at Barnes and Noble. The manicure was more than I'm used to paying - $17 - but they slathered lotion all over my hands and let me stew in heating-pad gloves to soften up my paws beforehand. Another plus is that they are all very nice and they only use OPI nailpolish. So you can imagine my surprise that, after three trys, I still had tiny bubbles rising up like a phoenix under my polish. read more
