Some are good, some are just okay, and some are absolutely over-the-top amazing. When you land one of the great ones, the experience is chef's kiss. One thing that is consistently excellent is the cleanliness of the salon. It is always spotless. There is a very kind gentleman who goes around with a homemade cleaning cart and resets each station almost immediately after a client gets up. He sanitizes everything thoroughly, which really gives peace of mind. Services come with a complimentary beverage, which is a nice touch. Options include water, soda, wine, and beer. The gentlemen who work at the front desk are also extremely friendly, flexible, and always in good spirits. They're easy to talk to and willing to work with you if you have questions or need accommodations. Pedicures are one of my favorite services here. I usually get the Volcano pedicure, which includes a warm, scented neck wrap such a relaxing detail. The massage chairs are great, and I appreciate that they use a timer for the massages, so you're never shorted on time. I do usually ask them to turn the water a bit warmer during pedicures; I think they keep it cooler by default to avoid burning, which I understand and appreciate. Manicures are also very well done. I like that most technicians have their own individual stations, which helps keep things organized and personal. Many technicians also have Venmo or Cash App QR codes at their stations for tipping. If not, you'll need to tip in cash so keep that in mind. There is a card fee if you pay with a card, but there is an ATM located to the left of the front desk if you'd rather pull out cash and save a little. They offer a wide range of colors, styles, and techniques, so whether you're going for something simple or something more detailed, there are plenty of options to choose from. Overall, this salon has become my go-to, and I plan to keep coming back. Technicians Bim - Absolutely wonderful and hands-down the best at nail designs that I've seen. If you're looking for detailed, creative work, Bim is a must-book. Megan (Eyebrows) - I go to Megan for my eyebrows every time. She is fantastic. She originally worked at another salon in Mechanicsville, and I was thrilled when she started working here. She's been doing my eyebrows since 2018, and I wouldn't trust anyone else.

The pedicures were great no issues. The nails however. The woman took a chunk out of my husbands finger when trimming his cuticles and then tried to quickly out liquid bandage on it before he noticed in a coverup effort vs cleaning it then and there and apologizing. While my nails initially looked fine aside from a little bit of shaping issues on one or two (not a huge deal at all) less than a week later (services on Wednesday, pictures taken on following tuesday) 6 of my nails have EXTREME wrinkling and lumps in the gel polish.

Sam at Vivi Nails is amazing!! He does such a good job to make sure you're comfortable and that your nails are perfect! They serve complimentary champagne, along side a plate of cheese, fruit, and crackers!! After your nails, they give you a mini shoulder massage that is perfect for a release of tension. Sam was able to make dip ombré nails on my short nails look amazing!! I live in the city and drive all the way to mechanicsville just for him, so if you live far, it's worth the drive!

My sister had just her pedicure going. No manicure yet, but she wasn't getting polish on her fingers. Her massage chair didn't even work. We both picked out a chrome color. My sister was only getting color on her toes. I got color on my fingers and toes. I was rushed through mine meanwhile my sisters sitting right next to me in a massage chair that doesn't even work.. I got both my fingers and toes completely done no lotion on my arms or hands, no massage on my hands or arms. None of the usual, you know, manicure stuff... he simply did my nails and moved on.... I was finished before my sister even had polish on her toes. They moved her to get her manicure but again, she wasn't getting color. In the meantime I was sitting aside waiting for her to be finished. I had time to examine my nails and before even leaving I noticed how crappy they were. There was polish all over my skin, he completely missed a spot on my finger nail with the chrome. I said something so they would clean it up and fix the messed up spot before we left. They cleaned up my manicure but didn't properly fix the missing spot so now it looks like a bump and is clearly messed up. He finally put lotion on me only after I watched him giving my sister a hand and shoulder massage. That's when he realized he didn't do it for me. I didn't get lotion on my arms even after that and no massage. Just lotion. After all this.. he charged us $220! I asked what the price was and he said $160 for both of us... my sister didn't even get color on her fingernails how was hers the same cost as mine???? I paid without a fuss because it was part of her birthday gift. I got home and looked up how much the chrome powder was on Amazon. $6.... They charged us $20 each as an add on for the chrome!!! 4 days later.. and the top coat on my thumb is already peeling off. Ridiculous !!!! They clearly do not care about their work.
