I had an awesome pedicure given to me by Tracey! Her bubbly personality and conversation made the service even more pleasant. It's always good being able to get good service by positive people and she is one of them!! read more

Jimmy and his brother always do a great job. And they have a new young lady for pedicures that I would recommend.

Very nice staff I drive a ways just for this place and very clean. I just get my feet done. So I can't speak to the nails but my toes are perfect read more

I got my nails done here because I was in the area and needed a fill and pedi before my vacation. The reviews looked ok and a fill it's hard to mess up a gel pedi now a days. I got something super simple white gel pedi and a gel fill, what I thought would be an easy paint design (flowers). I've been get my nails done since i was 14 ish and most salons have at least one person that can do designs so I felt safe, lol. Nonetheless, all turned out well except to my surprise my floral/flower design was a nail sticker. Reminded me of back in the day when we got airbrush, but it looked good so I won't complain. My pedicure was great and lasted 5 days on on a rocky beach without a chip so I'm pleased! read more

I really wish I didn't have to do this. I've been coming to this nail spa since they first opened around the beginning of the pandemic. I'm the customer that once I find a place I'll stick with it until it's no longer an option for me. I can say that VIP nails in Columbia MD is no longer a place for me. They are under staffed for sure and I've displayed patience on numerous occasions. On Friday November 11, I had an appointment set for 5:30pm with David. I called to inform the spa that I would be running a little behind. Upon arrival know one told me that I would NOT be serviced by David. I was serviced by Jimmy. (I believe that's his name). My pedicure was fine however my nails are awful. My event was the following day and I will post pictures below of how my nails looked the following day (Saturday) right before my event. This place has most definitely lost a loyal customer. One thing I hate is wasting my money and time. I called the spa about my complaint and was told I could not get a refund but they would fix the issue. I decided not to go back and I will look elsewhere. I'm not willing to waste anymore time with this establishment. Definitely take your money elsewhere. read more

It's hard finding a good nail salon. I just happened to be in the Columbia area so I stopped here for a pedicure. David was my nail tech and he did a good job. I would come here again for a pedicure if I were in the area. read more

I came with my daughter to get manicures and pedicures. We are from NY and this salon was pretty close to our hotel. The people who work there are very nice but it was extremely expensive for what you got. At my salon in NY for that price you get a very relaxing spa pedicure experience and a 10 min massage with your pedicure. This was very quick and felt rushed. The girl who did my pedicure did a good job with the polish but my manicure is horrible. The polish does not even go down to my cuticles. There is a gap and the polish looks uneven. I don't live here but I would not come back if i did. Way too overpriced and nothing like what I'm used to back home. Our nails were also all chipped the next day. read more

I cannot imagine why this salon has received negative reviews. I have lived in this area for 17 years and there is no better salon than this VIP one. I have been there 3 times and am heading over there again today. I love them and they do an excellent job. read more

They don't sanitize their nail files or implements which is very unsanitary. This can cause nail fungus and infections in customers.

I've been coming here for years and I love the clean atmosphere and polite and professional customer service. Jenny is amazing and always makes time to make sure your nails are just how you want it. Thank you so much Jenny! read more

Hello, Very nice staff,, clean but WAY too expensive!! For an SNS, that usually includes tips, they charged me 5.00 xtra. Also their pedicures are way over priced for the time they spend on it, 45.00 for a spa pedi and 30.00 for a basic. Don't get me wrong, happy with my nails but 100.00 every two weeks for this, noooooo wayyyyyy!! Many other salons in Columbia that do SNS for fair price including tips, if wanted, plus a extended pedicure for 45.00 that.m blows what they did out of the water. Wanted to trY somewhere new but I'm going back to Bliss in Columbia!! Way better quality, price and service. read more

Had my first nail appt here, got a full set acrylics. Over the phone they were very easy and fast to set appts and answer any questions i had. During my appt they were very nice and friendly, nail technician was very gentle with me and did everything wonderfully, I personally think my nails came out beautiful and the place was very comforting. 10/10 would come again. read more

I came before my graduation to get my nails done. I got gel nails. My nails were done with care aNd done nicely but sad to say that my gel nails started peeing off withiN a 1 week after I visited. I did minimal work after my grad. But service and the workers here are nice and try to accommodate you. The space feels fresh/bright/airy. Hope they can get a better gel system in place!!! :/ read more

I have now gone to VIP 3 times and I love them. They do not rush through your service, they want it perfect. I went in today without an appointment and they were able to fit my daughter and I in. I wanted a specialty gel manicure and showed them a picture and the young woman did an awesome job. She referred back to the picture frequently and just made sure each step was completely done. It took over 2 hours but was worth it. If you want a great manicure or acrylics (my older daughter gets them) then come here and say, "Kim sent ya." Again, they don't rush through and are very detail oriented. I give them 10 stars. Also, forgot to mention they are very diligent about cleaning. When someone was not working with a person they were wiping surfaces down. In the 2 hours I was there I had to see them wipe things down about 7 or 8 times at least. I feel very confident going here. read more

So for starters... yea mani and pedicures are a necessity foreveryone! On the regular too!! We came to VIP Nails without an appointment. We were asked to come back a little later due to the long wait. When we returned, we were taken right away. Went for the organic spa pedicure. Let's just say at first I was a bit skeptical. The staff seemed to multi-tasking several clients at once. I must have soaked my feet for like 20min. But once the technician started, she was meticulous. She must have spent what felt like forever on each foot . The foot massage was average tho. When it comes to hands, I'm not too particular. Nail trim and cuticles read more

Super happy with what I got! I just moved out here from San Diego and had a couple of horrible experiences that made me want to give up on getting my nails done out here. But I tried this place and wasn't disappointed. The store is super clean, workers are friendly, and my nails came out amazing!! I don't remember the guy who did my nails (I don't know why I forgot to ask) but he did an amazing job and I will defiantly be coming back with my roommate'! read more

I went to get my eyebrows waxed, and this is the worst experience I've had getting my eyebrows waxed. It still looks like I still have a unibrow. There was wax left all over my eyelids, above my eyebrows, and in my hair. I left with my eyebrows looking worse. read more

Got a pedicure today from Jenny. The salon is limiting customers and taking extra precautions due to covid. They asked me to wash my hands as soon as I walked in which made me so happy! I noticed nail techs washing hands between each client. They also installed plexi glass at each station. It is a super safe and clean environment. I will be returning. Thank you! read more

This was my first visit, and I will be back! I absolutely loved this place as well as the friendly staff. I had a dip manicure done and the nail tech did a fabulous job. I've only had a few manicures done before (at other places) and they've ended messy or with unpainted nails on the sides but this manicure is perfect. 10/10! read more

David is the Best! Very detailed!! Clean Nail spa! You will not be disappointed they follow all COVID protocols. No Walk in. You must have an appointment read more

This is by far the best nail salon I have ever been to. I have been to VIP at least four times in the last year (before and during COVID) and the staff do such a great job. Everyone is friendly and my gel manicures last for over a month without peeling or chipping. I never want to go to another salon because VIP really does the best job and lasts the longest. read more

I usually never do bad reviews but here goes.....I first went to this salon hearing about how great Jenny was and decided to book an appointment with her. When I first went here a couple weeks ago, I saw Tracey who was awesome by the way but she still encouraged me to see Jenny since that's who I originally wanted to book with and had to initially reschedule. Well, I finally was able to see her yesterday. My appointment was at 2 and I walked in around 1:50, but did not actually get serviced by Jenny until 2:30. There were a few things I noticed besides the late service but I don't mind waiting sometimes. One, Jenny had an attitude and didn't seem to want to be bothered, she acted like she had somewhere else better to be. Second, the utensils did not seem clean whatsoever, she ended up cutting me, never said sorry just wiped my finger with a towel then some mysterious green liquid. Third, she was rough and seemed like she had a problem with changing the shape of my nails and getting a new color for me. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day but I won't be returning. If you go here, please see Tracey. read more

I found this place on yelp and of course I scrolled through the pictures and liked what I saw! I went to jimmy because I saw his name in some reviews and so glad I did! This is my new go to nail salon , I hope the work stays consistent and as good as it was today! read more

Very good experience at nail salon. I made appointment the day before for pedicure. Appointment was very easy to make. I arrived a few minutes early for 11am appointment on Friday. I was taken back to pedicure chair within few minutes. The salon was clean and inviting. They used necessary precautions before starting work. It was only 3 customers including myself so I felt that they are adhering to social distancing guidelines. David completed my pedicure with designs. He was very gentile yet thorough in scrubbing, shaping and cleaning my cuticles. It was my first time at salon and I will return. read more

I visited this salon on a Tuesday morning for a pedicure. I happened to be the only customer in the salon at the time, which helped ease my COVID anxiety. It was super clean. My temperature was taken at the door, my information recorded for the purpose of contact tracing, and I was instructed to wash my hands upon entry. My pedicure came out great and the foot massage was so relaxing. I was really satisfied with my experience, the cleanliness of the facility, and the courteousness of the staff. read more

This is my third visit. Vitus 1 and 2 were okay. Today I made an appointment with Brian for a pedi and gel fill. Not ambiguous at all. Brian decides I should not wear acrylics anymore and has them removed without asking me about it..... and when I was like WTF Brian what happened to my nails, I don't want dips. He says he will fix it, which I took to mean he's putting on a new set for me which I am irritated about because it's already 7 pm and I haven't eaten, HE STARTS TO DO DIP NAILS. seriously dude wtf is your problem????? So needless to say I walked out. Is there a salon within 45 minutes of me that can manage to do what I ask??? I am not fancy, just some basic acrylics is all I want here. read more

So regret for coming here, very very bad service, I will never ever come back here, just so you know we pay money to get this service right but instead I have to bagged them to do the right things. read more

I came here by accident about a month ago because of convenience. It was the best nails I have had in so long! The price was also amazing! It was $38 for a fill (I think). I could not believe how good they looked and in this area, you just can't beat that price. I usually get coffin shape acrylic nails with gel polish. I came back today and got foil on my nails. They look so good! I am so glad I found this place!!! read more

That was a horrible experience. Uncomfortable chair, scalding water, completely ignored by the nail tech. Three different people came in while I was there for my mani pedi to complain that their GEL had chipped! Wtf? I should have known after that... but I went through with it. My polish chipped IMMEDIATELY and by the next morning I had to go buy a bottle of polish to repair my manicure before the wedding I was going to. They destroyed my cuticles and fingertips tearing and cutting off skin so it was painful to remove the chipped polish. Just awful. Go somewhere else. read more

hands down an amazing experience!! all covid guidelines are followed to a "t"! the staff we kind and my pedicure was amazing!! i will be going back read more

Stay away from this place under any condition if you want a manicure that you enjoy a couple of days . My saloon I usually go is in Rockville . First time I came here in a rush for my birthday . The manicure I got lasted just a day . Whenever I got is from my regular salon , lasted 5-6 days . They are not professional. Trashing your money ($23) is better than getting manicure which does not last more than a day . Do not be regret like me. read more

Very nice staff and beautiful design of the space.
