Amazing service & even better customer care!…read more I recently moved to the area and it took me a few months to find a nail salon I really liked. I walked past Pride Nails, loved the aesthetic, and decided to stop in for a no-chip chrome pedi. The experience was so relaxing, but the next morning I noticed I needed a small touch-up. I sent them a photo and texted to see if I could come back & this is where they really earned the 5+ stars... Vi was apologetic and immediately offered to get me in the next day. Work got away from me and I couldn't make it, but instead of forgetting about it, she actually followed up with me to make sure I came back and got everything fixed. That really impressed me. She got me back in, made the touch-ups I needed, and I left very happy. Great service is one thing, but customer service like that is what makes you come back. Safe to say I found my new go-to pedicure tech! Definitely recommend Vi & Pride Nails.

The base price was $68, with an added $20 for "cuticle trimming." Is this not a standard service for manicures? I've been here before and I do not recall it being nearly as pricey, so I'm not sure what has changed. In addition, my nail color (both times) ended up being completely different than the one I picked out on the display. I'm not sure why. Don't come here unless you plan to spend $100+ for a basic manicure that's a drastically different color than you chose.

I don't usually leave reviews but I found this nail salon on yelp so it's only right to post my own review. I also do not usually get my nails done, but I wanted acrylics for a special occasion a few weeks ago. I actually came back for a fill because I had such a good experience! I've been here twice now-- once for the full set ~2 weeks ago and today for the fill. Both times I've brought in inspiration photos. Jackie is so lovely and detail-oriented! She makes sure I'm happy multiple times throughout the process and checks in about pricing. As far as pricing, I consider getting my nails done to be a treat and the pricing seems fair to me. A full-set of acrylics starts at $30 and fill in starts at $20. In terms of covid precautions, all employees wear masks and it hasn't been particularly crowded either time I've been there. I felt comfortable enough in my kn-95. read more

I have been here several times and feel compelled to write another review. Every time is a pleasure. Jackie is so professional, she has great ideas and so generous with letting you try something different that is not on the "menu" They are super fast, the colors last and they have a TON to choose from. During Covid I have come in here a lot and it always safe and very clean. I have also done very fun combo requests that are always happily accommodated. Got these fun holiday nails and got LOTS of compliments. Prices are great, too! DEFINITELY CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. This place is truly a neighborhood gem and I plan on being a very dedicated return customer. read more

Jackie at VIP Nail Salon is the absolute BEST manicurist I have been to by far. She is so thorough in her acrylic work, and I don't trust anyone else with my nails! From the first time I came in, she made the space warm and inviting and kept great conversation - which really eases the nerves of trying a new place. Needless to say, I have been back MANY times and will be coming back for any and all of my manicure and pedicure needs. Thanks Jackie! read more
