Kishia is amazing! I'm in the process of relocating to Durango and leaving behind the person that's done my nails for over 10 years in Austin. Kishia is incredible. We had such a great conversation and my nails look perfect. I did a gel manicure and she nailed it. And I'm picky! I'm so excited to have found my person in Durango and would highly recommend Kishia! read more

I had a pedicure and my big toes have a red smear look to them because she tried to brush it clean with remover and made a mess! I also had gel nails removed which was good and ask for a manicure... nails were not shaped, left jagged, and uneven. Just an awful experience. Paid way too much! And I'll have to redo my own nails! read more

Vip Nails - This after 2 weeks and they still look great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Keisha was absolutely amazing! Super professional and lovely to talk to you! Rebooked with her for my pedicure and full set!

I have been going to Vip Nails for about 3 months. After a difficult illness 5 years ago, my nails deteriorated - thin, splitting, and delaminating. I tried absolutely everything but nothing worked. I decided to try gel, professionally done, for the first time in my life. I ended up with a nail tech named Bravo. He was attentive and helpful when I explained to him my problem nails. I can say after 3 months my nails are long and stable, and they are growing normally after 5 years of struggle. VIP Nails is a VERY busy place! I have not had any dealings with anyone else, as I am so happy with Bravo and the amazing results he has helped me to achieve. And the price is extremely reasonable. My nails are so stable now that I am able to go 3 weeks between refreshing my nails. read more

Me and my friends came here hoping to get out nails done and she showed one of them a reference photo for her halloween costume. at first they were like we can't do this then someone else was like no i can and it took almost two hours. it looked like they did her nails in 30 minutes, i do not recommend them if you have any inspo other than french tips or a solid color. my 17 year old nail tech from home did better designs when she first started than what they did read more

Do NOT go here! The mani pedis they give are very basic and not worth the money. They are basically just a polish change. They do your heals for literally less than one minute each with a soft toll that does nothing and they rub your shins only for a few minutes each. It was so rough I had to ask him to go softer, and all he did is laugh. I've only been there twice and had two male technicians that were really rude to me! I literally had to ask him to not be so rude to me & tell him that this was supposed to be an enjoying, relaxing experience. He didn't change. It's not a clean place and I am now SICK after having an older male work on me very recently. He had a mask on but was obviously VERY SICK! He was coughing, sneezing, his eyes looked horrible and I could tell he was miserable. I could also tell he had a ton of snot under his mask from sneezing and didn't change his mask. I asked him if he was sick and told him I don't want to get sick. He told me he was not sick and that it was just allergies. Well that was a lie because I am now sick and had to have an apt with urgent care. If you are sick STAY HOME. Putting a mask on is not good enough! I will never go there again! read more

I rarely give bad reviews, but this needs to be told. My most recent, and obviously last visit, to VIP proved to be disappointing to say the least. I had a Dip Mani and a salt scrub Pedi. The Pedi was fine but I'm pretty sure the tools were not clean. The Dip Mani was not good at all. Don's station was dirty, with a previous used paper towel as a surface cover. Oddly he kept disappearing to the back and in the end my nails were badly shaped and the color faded. I returned the next day and they acted like nothing was wrong and kept having me wait. Finally I was told to come back tomorrow or wait all day to have the issue addressed with no apology or acknowledgment of their failures. Bad service, and unsanitary, not a good combination. read more

Rude and horrible service. The regular nail polish is all dried out and dirty salon. Fungus infested salon. Yuck. read more

I quickly gained entry due to a last-minute cancellation. The service was outstanding! I would highly recommend this establishment.

I explained I have dip nails but one is broken and asked if I could pay to have just one redone. The man who acted like the manager rudely told me they could not match my color. I said I was fine with a contrasting color and I'd pay whatever they said. He then said they have no time to fix it. I said I'd be glad to make an appointment and come back. He huffed loudly and started asking someone else in another language. I told him thanks anyway and said I'd find somewhere else. read more

Hello.  My husband and I went in for pedicures today.  My husband's was fine but mine was not.  My heels didn't look any better than how I walked in.  They are very rough and still cracking.  No help with any solution when I brought that to his attention or several others attention.  He said you need a cheese grater.  I said that I just need what I walked in there for, a pedicure.  It was the whole point of getting one, making my feet better.  Horrible job.  We spent almost $90.00 on a basic pedicure, because that's all you had time for, but what a horrible job.  My husband left a $30.00 tip, which in my mind wasn't worth a $5.00 tip. I personally would like a refund.   This is what my feet look like afterwards. read more

Mimi is my favorite in all of Durango and I've been every where! Professionals in both the ski and sales interested will always compliment me on her beauty and amazing talent! She saved my nails. 5/5! read more

This was quite possibly the worst Manny Peddy I've ever received. The pedicure, which I was charged some $30 for was basically a polish change. No basecoat on the nails, the technician did use some clippers to dig around in my great toe enough for me to bleed. No loofah. No lotion. Just polish change and topcoat. I could not communicate with my nail tech even though I expressed to her several times during the manicure that the nail drill that she was using was too big and making me bleed at the cuticle. For the rest of the time that I spent with her, she spent several minutes asking me if I was OK. I was not. I'm bleeding from several appendages the amount of aggression that she displayed was unacceptable. the pedicure was less than average. Overpriced and poor poor quality. five days later, I'm going to have my Tez and nails done by someone who knows what they're doing and not just in there to rotate customers through and make money with poor service. read more

Very good quality nails! It was very calm and the service was very sweet! I would highly recommend read more

Let me begin by saying I've been regularly getting my nails done for 30 years at home and many times traveling. I only needed a manicure on this particular day and the young man who I was unfortunate to get was condescending and so rude. He reprimanded me like I was a child on numerous occasions. On top of that he did the absolute bare minimum just to be done. I don't expect special treatment but I do expect to be treated with courtesy. read more

Beware, I had a pedicure and then 2 days later had several warts on the bottom of my foot.

Have been here multiple times. We have terrible salons in Durango and this one has been OK. Have yet to be blown away ever and today was a very very mediocre pedicure. Took about twenty minutes and looks like a non professional am painted my nails. I really want to know where the good reviews come from and who does their nails.theyre already super crazy busy. They focus on just pumping out numbers. Quantity over quality. They need to be appt only and focus on each client at a less rushed and Chaotic pace read more

I went here for two years, but would no longer recommend this business. It has gone seriously downhill with staffing and attitude changes in the last few months. If your regular person is suddenly away or you don't have an appointment, you will be assigned to a Dan or Danny who will inexplicably inflict insults and pain on you. Look at the other reviews here. Run! read more

My toe was cut while being trimmed. No Polish on the ends of my toes. Not enough exfoliation. read more

Easy, fast and reliable. The most consistent nail studio in the county. Make an appointment before you go.

This was an immaculate salon with friendly people. They took us right on time for our appointments. We had excellent Deluxe Pedicures. You will not be disappointed. read more

The last time I was in, the entire space was filthy. The person who did my nails had black dirt under his fingernails, was very dismissive, and was more interested in the wealthy client that followed my appointment than my service. He kept looking away from me, rushed the job, got polush all over my skin and my nails looked horrible. When I went back for a follow up appointment, I had asked for a different nail tech, and when I arrived, they told me that my appointment was "yesterday". not sure if this was a purposeful, slight or just bad scheduling. they have horrible customer service, and it's just a very dirty salon. read more

Best place in Durango! Everyone is polite, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. They take their time instead of rushing through just to finish. Only place I'll go now after a few bad experiences elsewhere. read more

I was visiting with a friend from out of town and it was a last minute decision to get our nails done. We walked in and were taken to a chair right away, they were very accommodating because they were very busy. This place is clean, the workers are very nice, and they have tons of colors to pick from! I was pleasantly surprised with the price as well, $23 for gel you can't beat that! A week later and my nails still look great :) read more

PART 1: Let me start by giving you a visual of what my day looked like. I'm from Albuquerque, NM and my friend and I wanted to make a day trip somewhere and decided on Durango CO. We decided while we were there we wanted to get our nails done so I came on to my trustee yelp to find one of the better places to get our nails done and came across VIP Nails. I scheduled an appointment with this location because I saw all of the good reviews on this place and heard some good stuff about Quan and Tony in the reviews I read.. so of course I asked for them to be our techs. So I set 2 appointments one for me one for my friend we both wanted the dip powder or "SNS" if you want to be technical. My friend wanted a simple nude coffin and I went a little extra with 2 fingers on each hand painted with daisies and the rest nude in coffin shape as well. For my friend she didn't have any length on her nails so she needed tips. This was something I explained on the phone with the woman who schedule our appointment. While scheduling my appointment I asked her what prices we were looking at and the lady said since $55 for my friend (full set w dip powder) and "$45" for me (Re-dip or back fill). I put the "" marks for a specific reason that I'll go into later. So we arrive at about 3:45 and when we get inside it's PACKED. This place is too small for the business they get first off which to our appearance was a good thing... right? Well a woman sits us down and we wait over 18 minutes for ONE tech to come start on my friends nails not to mention we didn't even get who we requested. ( Remember these were people I read reviews about and requested) I ended up getting Quan like requested but it wasn't for an almost extra 20 minutes of waiting for him. So there's that. So now we get to get our nails done. I'll start with my friends experience.. Remember she asked for tips? Yeah well they didn't. Or well her tech didn't because she went straight into dipping my friends fingers and I had to tell her that she wanted a full set. So the tech had to start over and boy did she take it out on her nails. By the time she finished she had lumpy fucked up shaped nails ‍‍ pictures ARE attached. read more

FYI that they are closed until May 14th or so! Didn't have an appointment, just wanted to let people know. Maybe call before going to confirm they're open. Looked like a nice place though! read more

Dropped in as a walk in and was taken right away for a fill and 4 broken nails. I also had my five year old boy in tow. They offered us a drink and treated my little one very well. My nails look amazing and I was pleased with the service. My nails wear shaped well I have coffin shapes nails. I'd come back. I come every summer from Santa Cruz CA. for a month and last year went to a different nail salon and they happened to be closed today. Let me also mention it's Fathers Day! So it was a good thing I was able to get in. Thanks again VIP! I love my nails done well. read more

Had a horrible nail experience here. An hour and a half and left so unhappy. They dismissed everything I said and blamed it on my nails. I do not recommend this place read more

Not happy. Moved around a hectic schedule for 2 appointments. Unfortunately they had a Covid breakout, so they closed the shop down. Got greeted with a sign on the door. Horrible thing to happen to these busy professionals...but NO reaching out to your appointments? How about calling those of us who take time off to support you, or putting a "Closed" notification on yelp, or even a message on your voice mail thats not set up? Would have been great not to have wasted our time, and gas. Unusually unprofessional for this otherwise fine place read more

refused our service before we could even get through the front entrance, this was before 12pm. took our business to another salon.

Love this place !! Did excellent job on pedicure! Very nice staff ! Felt very comfortable there ! Didn't feel like you were being rushed in and out ! Highly recommend!! Call for appointment! Hardly any wait if you have appointment!!! read more

My friend and I just got our nails done and we are both extremely disappointed. The nails she received are meant to be baby blue, however, they are highly see-through and are ombre, blue and purple. There is also glue on top of my hand and all over my fingers. Her hands look disgusting, we will not be coming back. We expected great quality nails due to the high ratings on yelp but that was not the case. The lady who did her nails was nice, but she was more worried about being on her phone than having a conversation with me or even making my nails look good. read more

Regular manicure and pedicure didn't last even a week. The man that did my pedicure cut my toenails too short and they were painful for a couple days. I put neosporin ointment on with bandaids over my toes to make sure they did not get infected. read more
