Super professional, clean and friendly. Staff was wonderful. So happy that this place is awesome since I live right down the street. The place that was there before was terrible so I'm glad my experience here was a good one. Cool that after the 5th visit you get $5 off and that of within two weeks your nails chop they will fix for free. Will def be back :) read more

This salon is taking amazing COVID precautions! Masks required, hand sanitizer everywhere, and you sit inside a plexiglass booth in the pedi chairs and behind a shield at the manicure stations. The AC is off to prevent droplet spread also, so be warned it's going to be warm on a hot day. You can call to make an appointment ahead of time or go on their website. I've gone in off peak times and been the only customer. This was my go to nail place before COVID and I was always happy with their service, but I wanted to share this review to let others know how conscientious this business is being towards their employees and customers. They deserve your support. read more

I love my nails! My technician was patient, detailed & gave me exactly what I wanted! No pain either... I can't believe I found this gem of a salon on Facebook! It's a closer location than my regular spot & cheaper (gasp!)... The only thing missing was being offered soda or water! I'll bring my own.... read more

They made my nails look great (polish and nails nicely filed) especially because I have short nails!! However, they cut my cuticles too short... my fingers have been hurting to wash dishes and when pressure is put on them. read more

Came as a walk-in and they were very nice told me to come back in 30 minutes and I came back and took me right away. The place is very clean and quiet and relaxing. The woman who did my nails was fast and did a great job she even chose the color I was looking for. The gentleman who did my feet was to fast and I felt a little scared when he was cutting my cuticles on toes felt pinchy overall he painted them very good. But the no chip manicure and pedicure is a special for $53 yet I was was charged $68? I gave each a $7 tip cash. Is there a time limit for that special? I came in around two hours before closing. No chip still looking good after a week. normally other places chip off by now. Thanks for the fast reply def deserves 5 stars! read more

I'm so happy that I've found a spot so near to my apartment that does great work! The women that work here are so friendly. They greet you at the door kindly and don't just straight away ask if you have an apt. I know that won't always be the case for some people, but for me they were very kind and showed me to the polish shelves. I'm not sure what management was here before but the "new" management is awesome. I'm extremely happy with my pedicure. They have tons of color choices, clean stations and even offered me water! The water temperature was great which is something I haven't got in a while when I've gone to other previous places as of late. They pay attention to detail and their acrylic work looks amazing. I will most definitely recommend. read more

Went here for the first time today and they did a great job! They do an excellent job with no chip manicures and I have shorter nails so sometimes it's hard. I would highly recommend! read more

I'll start by saying that I have been very cautious since Covid began and waited until the last month or so to get my nails done again. Anyway, I've now gone to Vera Nails twice and have been so impressed with all the precautions they take...medical grade cleaners are used, hand sanitizer everywhere, proper use of face masks (no hanging below the nose!), plexiglass partitions on all mani & pedi stations, adequate space between clients during services and only a small number of people in the shop both times I have been there. On top of feeling safe, they are always super sweet and they do a great job on my nails (I'm picky too!) Like the rest of us, I have been washing my hands + using hand sanitizer like a mad woman and my nails have held up. If I haven't convinced you yet, two other great things about this place is the on-site parking and the ability to book appointments online. Please support this wonderful small business :-) read more

My first time there was fantastic! I got a no-chip mani and reg pedi. Massages were wonderful! Service was friendly. Bella did my nails and my mani lasted a little over 2 weeks. She was detailed and very thorough and the hand massage was almost heavenly! My second time there I just got a no-chip with Bella. While she was still very delightful, she wasn't as detailed this time and the massage was really rushed. I'm sure it was because they were quite busy on a Wednesday afternoon. She said the two people were on vacation so it was a little stressful. It's been 5 days and my mani stills looks lovely. Even with the minor hiccups, I will definitely be back! read more

I went in for a simple nail color change. There was a little bit of a wait but not going to complain because I was just a walk-in. Once they seated me they did it quick and I loved how they came out! definitely going back! read more

Great great service! They do a fantastic job on my nails whenever I'm there and the whole staff is super kind. I've gotten regular, no chip, and dip powder manicures and had a good experience each time. I think their no chip manicures are especially great-- my manicures always last several weeks with no chipping or issues. Definitely my go to nail salon even after moving further away! read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS RACIST BUSINESS IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR !!! I want to preface this by saying I have been a client for 2 years now and I am now going to have to find a new place to do my nails.. for some time I have noticed a pattern with how clients are treated. If you are a poc you don't get a friendly greeting and they don't remember your name but when as a latina I am the only person being asked to pay in advance when they know me it's just Bullshit. I always tip well and usually get design, no gel etc and never complain about the price gouging but when you discriminate me even after all of that I am forced to take my business and hard earned money elsewhere. also I'm not the first person of color who complains there plenty other reviews with same issues. So sad especially since they're in such a diverse neighborhood! read more

I have to edit this for the way I feel I was treated on Saturday when I went to get my nails done. I arrived at 6:20 for a fill. The sign said they were open until 7:00. I was pretty much sent away. I pointed out to the gentleman there that the sign said 7 and he seemed confused. I left an area where there were several nail salons who would have taken my business and drove to this location because after the fire, I felt they needed the business. Apparently not. Once I was in my car, a woman came out from the back room and told him something because he came running towards me waving for me to come back. I just left. I've decided to take my business elsewhere, which is a shame because they do good nails and have always been nice to me before. I'm a good customer and tip well. I've referred clients here before. No more. read more

Every time I come here, I am in love with the results. All the staff are so kind and talented. Alex always does my acrylics and they turn out perfect each time. read more

Yesterday was my first visit around 6:40pm. I love the atmosphere and layout of this bail salon not to mention it's just a few blocks from where I live. The polish options were great and I found the exact color I had in mind. The only huge downside to my first visit here was a total miscommunication or misunderstanding on what I wanted. I called ahead an made a last minute appointment for an acrylic full set. I walked in and the reception guy was fixing me up for a pedicure. I said I came in for an acrylic full set, so one of the girls said have a seat. I sat and another woman (who was very sweet by the way) started working on cuticles. I thought this was odd since I've never had this done when getting a full set. I thought maybe they do it differently with it being such a nice place and $30 for a set here. Next thing I know she's painting my nails with the polish I chose. A regular manicure!! I wanted a full set!!!! I was super disappointed but didn't have the heart to correct the matter bc the sweet woman had already spend half an hr working cleaning up my fingers. I will be back more than likely next week ( it's a super nice place) for what I originally wanted but I feel as if I wasted $14 bc I didn't get what I came for which I said 3 times. Update: the misunderstanding was rectified by the sweet Bella from this nail salon. I believe the girl who did my nails today was named Kim. (Not sure). I love this place so much. Service is excellent and the result is fantastic! This is my new go to place for sure. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! read more

Time and time again Vera Nails & Spa impresses me. The staff is so sweet. Bella, the owner, is so accommodating. My nails look great and they last which is the biggest thing for me. I always get a no chip manicure and I'm always so happy with the service they provided. I am so grateful to have this salon in my neighborhood! read more

Great service and very friendly! They do great work, I always leave happy :) I also love that they take walk ins.

Heard this location was a bad place but this is a new nail place located where the old place was at. Strip mall, next to my cat's vet, free parking too. The place is nice and clean, and the owner was welcoming. I popped in to see if they can get me in for a no chip manicure and deluxe pedi. Well I got in and off we went into the land of ah!!!! Typical massage chairs while you get your feet pampered. My guy did a great job on my toes and it felt so good to get it done (let's preface this: it's been a LONG time since I had a pedicure done). The owner did my no chip and a design on my ring finger by hand. Such a nice job on my short stubby nails. The tools were wrapped like surgeon tools in the sterile packets and opened upon use for the client. Impressed. You need to get a stamp card so you can get 5 bucks off when you complete 5 visits. It's close to my place so I am truly excited. Will update my review after a few more visits to ensure consistency of experience. read more

This place is great. I went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and my no chip lasted 2.5 weeks. The service was phenomenal. Nhi is an excellent nail artist and she treats everyone very well. Getting my mani pedi no chip did not take long at all. The results came out nice. She did not make my nails look thick like other places. Definitely coming back. read more

Don't go to them. At first they did an awesome job and then as I start going their quality went down the drain. I asked for a simple French tip with a pink tip and they can't even do that. I could've went down the street and they would've done a better job. The manager did not do anything to help the situation. Their "fix" just made it worse. You would be embarrassed as well if you saw the quality work they did. Disappointed and pissed. Never going back. read more

Update: I called the salon and some woman told me to come and she would fix it at no cost...unfortunately i dont have time till weekend, so i will see about that.. I would give zero star if it was available. The worst nail salon ever!!! Came in there because I was in the neighborhood, I would go back there just to show my no chip manicure to the lady that worked on Saturday! She was so pushy, she was rushing to get it done like someone was chasing her, I have never had 10min manicure. I knew from the beginning that this wasn't going to last few days even though it is no chip. It broke the very second day. read more

I have come here a few times, always for no chips. For no-chips, I would give them 5 stars. Recently I started with my acrylics again. I would not recommend for acrylics. A few things: it seems only only one person does acrylics. When you are getting yours done, there is someone 20 minutes behind you waiting for you to finish so he can move onto theirs. More than one nail was done crooked. Picture attached. He did not attach the acrylic tip at the end/tip of my nail, so now there is space in between my actual nail and the acrylic nail tip. I hope that is explanatory enough- a pic won't do it justice. Last, he used one of those tools that removes the stuff from the back of the nail, kind of scraping the stuff out, but he used it too close to my skin and cut behind both of my thumbs. It was bloody and painful for about 2 days. It is just now healing. So sadly, I will not return for anything other than no chips and pedicure unless they have another acrylic tech :( read more

This is my first and probably only Yelp review ever. If I could give this place negative stars I would. I feel robbed after giving these people a third chance. I don't get my nails done often. My first time there the man was very aggressive with me when I didn't know how to move my hands. He even shouted at me when I accidentally hit my pinky nail on the nail dryer. My first two visits I got fill ins. NO CHIP. They chipped within about 3-4 days. I decided to ignore it because I don't know how long no chip is supposed to last. Now I got my acrylics removed and got just a manicure. I realize I did not ask for no chip but within 24 HOURS this is what I have! My nails are blobby and uneven. AND LOOK AT ALL THESE CHIPS AFTER JUST ONE DAY! I'm tired of being robbed by these people. read more

I'm a nail picker. That's right, not a biter, but worse because how short my nails become. When I can't kick the habit through shear will, I resort to a full set of acrylic nails to train my brain. I've visited Vera Nails on a few occasions before today for no chip manicure but I feel it necessary to praise Alex after just receiving my acrylic fill. I was surprised how quickly he worked on my initial full set while not compromising on detail and today was no different. While two of the nails had broke off in the second week(one while gardening/lifting concrete), I attribute it to little nail surface to begin with and not a reflection on the quality of work. So glad to have a reliable go-to in the neighborhood! The OPI color in the photo is #9 (Tiramisu for Two) read more

My daughter went today , asked if they could do her nails . The lady said yeah, all of a sudden she comes back and says she never agreed to do doing her nails , because more ladies came in and they wanted manicures and pedicures, "more money obviously"! She denied my daughter service, this lady Bella was very rude. And greedy .Never go here , they are rude and unprofessional . Sorry for giving one star, hope there was none. read more

I saw this place was under new management and so close to my house, so I thought I'd give it a try. Nice and clean. The lady that did my pedicure took her time. My manicure didn't last very long, after about 2 days it was already chipping. More people came in while I was there but it seemed like they didn't have enough workers, maybe calling to make an appointment would ensure no waiting! Will be back again since it's so close to my house read more

This is my third time here for a dipping powder manicure and I can say after trying many different places in the city, this is the best place! They are very attentive to how you want your nails shaped and being as gentle as possible (which I'm very sensitive about). I'm so happy they're just a quick walk down the street from me! They have definitely made me a regular! Love them! Also, everyone there is really sweet and they always have calming Latin instrumentals playing. They're very considerate of what you want. read more

I had read the bad reviews and assumed it was due to past management. Wish I hadn't. I asked for coffin shape and this is what the gave me. The line on my pointer finger and middle finger was there since I walked out of the salon. My pointer finger received that big chip 5 days after, and then the crack in the last picture, I saw today. No chip was supposed to last 2 weeks. Don't waste your money. read more

Love this spot! I've been looking for new nail salon and nail tech for over 10 years and one who actually listens when I ask to please be extra careful with my cuticles and one who doesn't rush, and I finally found him here. Alex is AMAZING!!! I can't tell you how happy I am with my nails. Everyone else was also very friendly and didn't ignore you or seemed annoyed. I highly recommend this place. read more

First time at the salon and really loved the inside and how clean they were. The owner I believe was really nice and answered all my questions that I had. Super sweet! I was very satisfied with my pedicure. Very great job. My nails on the other hand not so great. Ive gotten acrylic done before plenty of times and I decided to get them after a while of not getting them done. I noticed that some nails are thicker than others. I mentioned it to the guy that they were thick and if he can fix them but he didnt seem to understand. At this point he seemed annoyed and he looked like he was rushing to finish so he can leave. I honestly dont feel like the 45 that I paid for my fullset was worth what I got. Im usually not the type to post reviews or complain but I was not happy. read more

VERY disappointed in the way I was treated here. I walked in to get a no chip manicure yesterday at 5:00. I have been a regular here for nails, pedicures and waxing. When I walked in I was greeted by " Can you come back, There are 2 people ahead of you." This was very rude and I will never go back. How about just telling me there is a wait. Anybody will take my money. read more

I love getting my nails done here! They always look great!! If my nails get damaged, they fix them for me. Everyone is super friendly. I have brought champagne with girlfriends for pedicures and it's a great time!!! Highly recommend this place. I won't go anywhere else. read more

I found this place to be very clean, friendly and thorough. I was driving past on a Friday afternoon and needed to get a pedicure before heading to the doctor later in the day. I've had a minor-ish issue with type II diabetes recently and the doctor always likes to examine my feet when I first get into her office for circulation issues, so I prefer to err on the side of caution and get my "dogs" ready for inspection. Even with the obvious language barrier between us, me and "my girl" were able to communicate with one another very efficiently and effectively. They did a great job and I will definitely be returning again. read more

My first visit here yesterday was with Kim. She's friendly, quick moving and does quality work. The salon is clean and orderly. They accept credit card payments with tip, but of course, cash is always king! They offer a punch/stamp card for every five (5) visits you receive $5 off on your sixth (6th) visit. I'll resubmit a review once I grow my nails out again...for me, that will be the true test of their work. I'll return and request Kim, especially since the location is close. read more
