Was not what I was hoping for in a facial. Vivian was so in a rush, not the place for a relaxing pampering facial at all. At least I tried it, since it is in my community. I do take my daughter here for brow wax with Vivian when her regular girl at Fashion 2000 is not available. Anyway had to share this not relaxing facial with you guys. 1 star for the fast service we get for a brow wax. read more

NEGATIVE STARS IF POSSIBLE - SAVE YOURSELF! Vivian is the owner of Vida Spa. Her business practices are horrendous. I came in for a pedicure. After the pedicure was done, I noticed a burning/itchy sensation on the sole of my foot. It had become infected! I think it was because her employee did not wash the pedicure tank. I told Vicky and she said "Of course we wash it, what? you want a refund now?" I am not a confrontational person so I did not want to get angry and start an argument with her with everyone there, but I was so upset to the point of tears. I don't make that much, but I was excited to enjoy my day off with a little treat for myself and this is what its turned into? I mean she didn't even CARE! I am definitely reporting Vivian to the business bureau. ALSO I spoke to another customer right before I left and found out that the service is poor because she hires A LOT of inexperienced UNLICENSED employees FYI read more

Only reason they get 2 stars is because they were super nice lady's but one of my friends nails came out completely slanted and my nails are just bad not sure if it's the nail polish or the fact that I can see where the acrylic nails starts and my real nail is, yea don't think that's how it has to look, but probably not going back. Plus both our nail polishes have started to chip already it's only the second day..... read more

Martha is the best nail tech ever. I've been coming to see her since 2019. She's fast, thorough, and funny, so it's always a good time.

This place is right around the corner from my house. I read the reviews prior to coming here but thought since it was so close I would check it out for myself anyway. So what I loved was that the girl who was going to do my mani pedi was a young Latina! My first, I'm used to Koreans doing my nails. So I was a bit anxious to see how they turned out at the end. She was so gentle at first but as the appointment went on she gained more confidence and I'm pretty sure she scraped off a few layers of skin on my toes. Well she didn't do a bad job! My nails looks pretty good. My cuticles though, different story. Totally neglected. This has been the most I've ever paid for a mani pedi and foe the price i expected to have a little more attention paid to my cuticles. Those are my 2 only issues, price and neglect to my cuticles. Other than that this place is ok. Young Latinas doing nails read more

I came to this spot on Tuesday (04/19) and got a gel pedicure. I asked for a french tip but wasn't happy with how it turned out, so I called and asked if I can come in again for them to fix it. There were many things wrong with the polish job, the lines weren't even and the technician put too much polish so when they were to grow out, I knew they would lift. Not to mention she didn't ask how I wanted them shaped and just began cutting. When I had called to schedule a new appointment, the lady on the phone was very nice and apologetic so I was looking forward to going back. It was disappointing to see that they gave me the same technician after expressing how unhappy I was with the original job. My issue was with the end of the service. I was told I had to pay an additional $28 on top of the $50 I had previously paid. I don't think that it was right for them to charge me to fix their mistakes. I will definitely be telling my family and friends to not come here. read more

my pedicure was good but my manicure was awful !! I got acrylics and gel but it was a bad experience . My nail tech was on her phone for about 5 mins while I sat in the chair in front of her , then she seemed to be rushing on my nails. She left my nails uneven with polish ( some edges were blobby if that makes sense) not a smooth finish. I was able to get a few nails re-polished for free but now 2 days later one of my nails broke and they aren't even a week old yet !! Christine left the two she fixed so thin that it was just a mess. She didn't clean up my cuticles for a clean look and there are chunks of acrylics that look uneven. Not to mention she got some sort of chemical all over my hands that took forever to wash off and left my hands feeling dry and rough. Awful experience and I will no be getting my mani here ever again. Over priced for the awful job. This is after 6 days read more

I needed to get my nails done and since I'm new to the area thought is give it a try. Lady said 45 for gel I thought that was expensive but I was already there. The person who did my nails was very nice and polite. I mentioned to her a couple of times about the cuticle , yet she didn't really care. Halfway thru another woman came to talk to her wearing a super skimpy pink powder dress and big shoes, so rude I don't speak their language but from what I could tell it was about money, she took out a book counting receipts during my time. Counted money didn't wash hands then a second lady comes speaking English about money and receipts. On my time!!!! Terrible service, even charged me extra 5 for Matt coating. Bullshit read more

I have continuously come back since my last review. Every single time I go they give me a new girl that I've never seen before. The last time I went my nails were horrible. Had gel that was an extension of my nail on the sides on just about every finger. The reception was very rude as well. I was with the nail lady for over an hour when she came to ask me if I still needed the colors. I let her know no one has asked me what color I wanted for my fingers yet and she just asked me for the color thing they have up front. I handed it to her. 20 minutes later she cane to ask what color I would like. I let her know I could tell her if she showed me the colors once again as I didn't jot down the numbers. I had actually shown the nail tech an image of what I wanted and she asked me to show her that to see if she could find us similar colors. I showed her and let her know I would like a light gray similar to the one in the picture. She rudely just said, "that's white". (I have a hard time distinguishing some greys and blues due to colorblindness). I let her know that I would like a light gray instead then. And in the same rude voice she let me know it's white. Finally she went and grabbed me a gray. Unfortunately, due to all this I have decided to turn to new salon. I do not recommend this place read more

At Vida Spa, they are very welcoming and friendly. My daughter couldn't get her nails done anymore so I asked if I could take her spot and get a pedicure instead. They got me in and the service was great. Thank you guys so much Vida spa for squeezing me in !! I'll also be recommending them to all my friends/Family. Thanks everyone. read more

Unless you want to start a new fad of the "zebra tan" don't use the tanning booth. The owner made ever excuse and accused me of moving the settings. I never touched a thing. Her booth is a piece of crap that doesn't work. Plus the spray mist is with cold water. Imagine that in the winter. Needless to say I have to cover my body until this crap fades. Horrible experience. read more

I love my new nails!!! Louis did an amazing job. I normally don't do the stiletto shape but I don't regret doing them!!

If I could post 0 stars for this place I would. I never make reviews on yelp but since my experience was so bad I had to. I came in just for an acrylic full set. The manicurist doing my nails ( I forget his name) took over two hours ! On top of that when he was removing my old nails he was hurting me really badly and even broke one of my nails to the point where my finger was bleeding everywhere and all he said was sorry . The end result was horrible , my nails weren't even all the same length or shape and you can still see blood underneath the nail he broke. I only came in because I wasn't able to make an appointment at my usual place that day but I will not be returning ! read more

So someone recommended this place I saw the reviews but lately I saw the reviews kind of desent. The place looks nice. The first girl does not know what she was doing left to get I believe the owner. the owner ended up finishing the job best as she can, but it was to late. Plus she charged me for something I didnt want. I would have argue with her but I was so pissed I could not wait to get out of there. I should have listen to the bad reviews. read more

This nail salon is quaint, but provides various services for reasonable prices. Anytime I come here to get a pedicure it is long lasting for about 3 weeks or longer. If you are looking for a nail Tech NICOLE is amazing! She works at a steady speed with absolute perfection of every detail. She is also a very sweet lady and love getting my nails done by her. read more

Every time I go to this nail salon I always walk out saying to myself "I will NEVER come back!" Only out of location convenience have I found myself getting another gel manicure there but I swear this last time was the ABSOLUTE LAST TIME!! The owner Vivian always hounds u to upgrade to a more expensive product and does not like to take NO for an answer. Alondra and Rosy are VERY RUDE and act UNPROFESSIONAL. My nails continue to chip EVERY TIME within a week. The ladies always RUSH and DO NOT provide quality service....except for Martha read more

I've been coming here for 15yrs and this was the first time I didn't like the service. Everything was really rushed and I didn't like my mani and pedicure. They didn't do the service right. I'm not sure about coming back.I'm very disappointed. read more

Customer BEWARE. If I could have given Debbie G. 1/2 star, I would have, Went in for a brazilian wax and came out bruised, blood drawn and patchy spots still remaining. I was in so much pain...sweating, crying and telling Debbie to stop. But she kept insisting just a little more. Towards the end of the torture, she applied the hot wax on top of the place where she had tried multiple times which felt like she was ripping my labia off. I told her to STOP. BUT NO!!! Finally she said, "well why don't you just pull it off and it won't hurt as much"!!!! I refused and told her I was done... She said there was just a little blood by the way. When I got home I looked at the damage. Not only was I black and blue but also I was sore to the touch for a week. Plus I had to shave everything she didn't get. I would have taken pictures but I think you get the idea. When my husband saw me he said, "what in the hell happened to you?" PLEASE do not go to her. read more

I've been coming here for years and Martha is the absolute best. I trust her to keep my nails in check and looking good. She also comes up with most of my designs. Her creativity is amazing. She also has an amazing eye for color. Her service is always prompt and since she's detail oriented like I am we get along well. I always enjoy myself and feel very relaxed and I've never regretted getting my nails done with her. These are the coolest set I've done as of yet and I can't wait to try something new again. read more

It pains me to write this review because I really like this place. I also really hope that the owner Vivian reads this. I come in every two weeks like clock work. I get the same thing all the time. Pedicure and get a pink and white fill... BUT WHY AM I CHARGED A DIFFERENT PRICE ALL THE TIME. It seems like they just toss a number out of the top of there head... THIS IS NOT OKAY AND AS MUCH AS I LOVE COMING HERE I JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO BE RIPPED OFF ANYMORE. Also, please stop speaking another language in front of your customers. It is rude and you make me feel like you are speaking about me. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE... Remember, customers who are happy will tell friends and family about your place. Please post your prices so we can see them. If you can't change some of the issues posted by many you will lose many customers. You would not only lose me, but also my mom, 3 of my sister, 4 friends and my sister in-law. That will be 10 customers who come every two weeks. read more

Best service ever I been going to this spa for years excellent customer service love everyone there so nice especially my girl Martha love how she does my nails and pedicure always on point . read more

Got my nails done with Martha , she does a great job. Salon is very nice & friendly spa

Manis are okay, pedicures could be better. Facials are not worth the cost. Waxes by Vivian are NOT GOOD. (very painful) Most importantly, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE from the manicurist. Quality of polish (gel) was always great. However, having your requests ignored was not worth it. Manicurist was rude to me, I asked to stop what she was doing bc it was a hazard to my health & she insisted on doing what she wanted. I left & told her I wouldn't ever go back if she didn't stop, she said, "Okay" & ranted away to the lady next to her. Vietnamese or not, it was obvious she was talking about me. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. I was a loyal customer for months, always tipped well and took my mom with me. That still didn't make a difference. read more

I like the location and that they offer numerous services. The parking is a bit rough given that they share the lot with a few other businesses. There is street parking but that isn't as convenient is it? We called in and made an appointment because we knew that by the time we were able to make it down there it might be too close to closing time that they wouldn't want to take us. Luckily, this did not seem to be an issue at all. They made a nice effort to accommodate us. The staff was welcoming and engaging which was a nice change. We felt comfortable with the employees rather than awkward. Even though the staff was friendly I didn't think the work nor the prices were all that great. They weren't bad but I guess I've experienced better for less. We ended up paying about $115 (tip included) for one acrylic set, two pedicures, and one gel manicure. Its been just under two weeks and my gels are looking good but my pedicure isn't looking so hot. I got a few chips here and there which is a little disappointing since I haven't really done anything too crazy that would cause them to wear that quick. Likewise, my sisters acrylics look good but her toes look awful. Overall Friendly staff but I don't know if the friendly faces make up for the quality and price ratio. read more

This place is so close to my house I could walk but I drive to Northridge to get my money's worth. The pedicure area is so small I feel like I am sitting on top of the person in the next chair. I went in for a manicure without an appointment and they did take me right away (thus the two star) but as soon as someone else came in also with no appointment, but she was getting the more expensive acrylic fill they had me get up and move to this bar area, even though there was another station available. I felt they rushed through the manicure, even though there was no one else waiting. I hope they start reading their reviews and change their bad customer service ways. I don't NEED to get a manicure, I do it for pleasure and it pleases me to spend my hard earned money elsewhere! read more

So I've been going to this place since it opened and I've usually had good experiences. I always get a manicure and pedicure which come out to be around 26 for both(that's just a gustimate, I just know that it's no more than 30) The girls are nice, but aren't too fluent in English. Today, I went in to get a spa pedicure which was 18 dollars. I was NOT happy with it at all. The owner, I believe:Vivian, told me the wait would be just a few minutes, it was not. I arrived at 5:30 and didn't get started on til about 6:00 pm. Vivian was supposed to do my pedicure, but another lady ended up doing it which was fine until I noticed that she had cut one of my toe nails way too short and it was slanted! The other toe nail was rounded. I don't know why she thought that was okay. I paid and walked out. I was so mad, I know it may not seem like a big deal but it was to me. I could have done a better job myself and wouldn't have to spend an hour and a half there. Other than today all other times were okay. It's a really clean and cute salon. I wouldn't recommend getting eyebrows waxed there though. And next time, I will ask her to FILE not CUT my nails. read more

Great place.Ask for Andrew he is very nice and a professional man.I highly recommend this facility to everyone.

I started to write a wonderful review about this place earlier, poopooing the nay sayers as being temperamental and finicky. Yes, I was sitting here, overjoyed with the success of one of my first beauty days in a long time, when i look down at my newly manicured fingernails typing those words and noticed not one, not two, but alas, THREE chipped nails. Not only were they chipped, they were mere minutes from being discovered as fraudulent masks posing as silver painted nails. I picked at one and it just completely peeled off. No, it didn't chip back a little, no, it didn't flake off. It lifted and without so much as a lift of the finger it peeled away. I was going to do this to the rest and paint them but realized that it was too effortless to lift the paint, so I just got rid of all of it, no muscle necessary. What I will say, though, is that the combo 2, a medi/spa pedi with paraffin wax and hot stone foot massage was divine and fairly priced. I also got a haircut and upper lip and eye brow waxing. I loved my hair cutter, Chelly, i believe and she did a wonderful, natural job and was so laid back and authentic. The woman who did my eyebrows did them much better than the Goddess Salon's cigarette smelling woman, and i left feeling pretty and girly. The only other things I could say negatively was that right after my feet were wrapped in wax I was lead to the other area for hair and slipped and my feet poked out and I could barely walk without nearly falling. that and when I went to get my eyebrows waxed the woman asked if i was getting my upper lip waxed too... that might be seen as rude to many, but for me it was a noticeable thing I decided to do. I don't know why I was made to walk with the wax... that could cause a lawsuit in the future. The atmosphere was relaxed and chic, but not too snazzy or modern. It had all the right elements and lay out to make you feel pampered but not ritzy and that you were in a place that would demand much of your etiquette, but it definitely wasn't some ghetto mess at all like many other places I've seen. On a side note, many nail places will have a particular set of people who come off rude, but everyone here was very humble and nice. I am happy with certain services, but will do my nails at home from now on. Basically, don't get a manicure here, just everything else :) read more

This review is for their european facial ONLY. PRICE: Its $50 + $10 for a special mask if ou want it + tip SERVICE: Receptionist, as others have said is not the nicest. My being Asian was different for the woman who helped me since she states she doesn't get Asian customers often. We chit chatted a lot. THE FACIAL: Lay down. Face is steamed. Face is wash, scrubbed, extracted, massaged. I paid for the extra mask. Fall asleep. Wake up, feel good. I enjoyed mine, although they do minimal extraction. My skin felt good afterwards. SUMMARY: It is a good choice for the area, but I'd rather try to acne facial or something with more extractions because I enjoy that. read more

This salon is very accommodating. Never a wait or overbooking. Vivian very nice. Sends text confirmation for appt. Will call you if there is a scheduling conflict. Is a little pricey but service is amazing. read more

I decided to stop by during my lunch to get my eyebrows waxed. I was greeted by the receptionist who was nice. The lady who waxed my eyebrows on the other hand seems like she was in a hurry to get done. In the process she managed to smudged off half my eyeliner from my left eye -_________- I was pleased with my eyebrows overall but was bothered about my eyeliner. FYI: They charge $1 fee for using your ATM/ credit card. I personally won't be returning but I wouldn't discourage you to try it out, you might have a pleasant experience. read more

Went for a gel manicure and pedicure paid $57 and $1 for the use of my card . My original plan was to do my hands and feel , the lady doing acrylics on a client had seen the tech doing my hands and told her client , I was getting a service that I hadn't let anyone know about . The nail tech assuming was the Hispanic lady with long acrylics ... unfortunately because of the backhand comment she had about me in Spanish assuming I wasn't understanding, made the service a bit upsetting . It was great service but just not the whispers about me happening .. read more

If I could give this place a negative star I would! I went in with an appointment for a full set-pink and whites. The reception lady told the manicurist what i was getting and I was sent on my merry way. The next thing you know I was getting a regular full set! When she apologized for the mistake she offered gel pink and whites... once she came back with everything she told me it would be an additional $20 for the gel. I told her that i wouldn't be paying and she insisted on how the gel was much better than regular pink and whites. I reiterated that I wasn't paying and then she told me to choose a color. I was then told that they constantly do that. Lesson learned and never again! read more

This place in my opinion was horrible I went in for a Mani and pedi and took my mother for a pedi they had us waiting for 20 minutes before they took us in after they did they had me waiting with my feet soaking only no bubbles nothing just in water for another 20 min and when the lady finally got to me she started and left to go finish another girls nails I was so mad.. Afterwards the girl who was gonna do my hands came over and asked me what I was getting done I told her I just wanted the powder on top of my nails no Tip just the powder she chopped off every single one of my nails after she had realize what she did she had the nerve to ask me again are you sure you don't want a tip...? After I told her I had told her from the beginning she panicked Needless to say I will not be going back and I would not recommend anyone else to either. read more

my mom was scamed. this place is overly priced for horrible nails. do not go there. they rushed her nails, she asked for almond acrylic nails and they didn't even apply the acrylic. they just pasted a clear nail and put glitter on it. they charged her 63 dollars. she was robbed and we will never be gojng there ever again ! read more
