I've been going to Vivi's Nail Salon for years, and it continues to be my favorite place to get my nails done. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and always makes customers feel welcome from the moment they walk in. The salon is clean, comfortable, and has a relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful nails and reliable service. read more

Just got a pedicure here. The staff is very welcoming, very friendly.. nice choice of nail colors. Was told a foot massage was included in pedicure on phone.. that wasn't done. Half done job under feet - incomplete callus removal. read more

Got a basic pedicure. The service itself was okay and the nail paint lasted a few weeks. I did get a cut on my toe nail.

We called ahead for 3 pedicures. Win was so kind and accepted us even though she was near closing time. She needed to finish up so we waited but they checked on us, gave us water, and set up the foot soak. Pedicure was awesome, they didn't rush even though it was past closing at that point. A friendly, relaxed place. read more

Great nail salon. Clean, selection of service and colors were great!! Super friendly staff !!! Best in redmond

I went in to get my sns off that I had done at another salon. She did not listen to how long I wanted my nails which resulted in her cutting way too close to my finger and nicking me. This pictures are how my nails looked when I left the salon. Would not recommend! read more

I tried this salon when my favorite was booked- and they may have sold me on coming back! I got a spa pedicure and gel manicure. Both were great. They were extremely quick but also did a great job. I told the nail tech that I wanted black with some gold glitter and she interpreted what I said in her own style and I loved it. The pedicure was very good and detailed though fairly basic, no extras. The staff was attentive and friendly. They seemed familiar with their clientele and very personal. The only downside was the actual salon. It just seemed a bit older and run down. It wasn't quite as modern and pretty as I am used to. A very small downside to a very good salon. Give them a try! read more

I've been to a million nail salons and I've never left a review, but Vivi's nails was such a good experience I needed to! Nguyen and her daughter were so sweet and amazing. The service was fantastic and my nails look great. My new go to spot! read more

I got terribly treated at this salon. First of all, the lady doing my nails treated me horribly and was being unbearably rude. On top of that, she filed my nails so hard that she cut my finger. She was not handling my nails carefully at all, she was being very hasty and harsh. Second, when I told her she cut my nail, she started blaming me and saying I was "moving my chair too much" when I was not. Thirdly, when noticing I don't talk very much she sharply asked me "Can you talk?". Excuse me? This lady also horribly shaped my nails and they are very uneven. I spent $50 on my nails and it wasn't worth the money. read more

This was my first time at ViVi's and I'm happy to say they did a very nice job! I got a pedicure first and then a manicure. Nguyen was the nail artist and the first other woman doing the foot/leg scrub massage was also very courteous. I wanted to do a pink, teal-blue on my nails and purple toenail combo. Nguyen advised me to do the toes in normal polish, (but still with their strong top coat) not the gel/shellac so it could save me about $15, and I think I'm more impressed with her color substitute selections than I would be with just the one cnd purple sparkly shellac. She combined a bright Royal purple with a rainbow shimmer top coat for an even better effect! The pedicure included also a hot stone massage after the grapefruit scented scrub, and the hand+arm massage after the manicure was also very nice. Their pedi chairs have a back massage remote as well. Here is a picture of the final results! read more

It was a pleasant experience. Staff was polite and provided good service. Enjoyed my manicure and pedicure!

Update: my gel manicure legit lasted a week and is p much ripped off. I've legit been doing nothing but sitting around. 4/10 would go here again :/ read more

Manicure they do in 5 mins and nail art meaning as per them just put nail pants. They charged me 45 dollars. Stay away

1. Salon is well maintained but doesn't necessarily give off the feeling that everything is sterile. 2. All of the ladies were very nice. There was one lady that snapped at me for being on my phone, but overall the staff is kind. 3. Polish selection/quality isn't wonderful. 4. My nails already look worn in within 24 hours. 5. I felt something hurt during my pedicure but never saw blood - my toe is now swollen and extremely painful. This shop needs a better way to sterilize instruments obviously. read more

I had my nails done by Nguyen, who was the loveliest nail artist I could've hoped for! She is extremely kind and makes sure your nails are done exactly the way you desire. I let her know what I wanted: a simple French shellac manicure that looked natural. I am super happy with the outcome! This was my first time at ViVi's Nails and she made the experience very enjoyable. I will most definitely be back! read more

ViVi's Nail Salon - French shellac manicure (after a week!) - Nail Salons Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Very disappointing. After reading the great reviews, I was so excited to try this place out! I went on my lunch break to get a manicure and there were two women there - one who was owner or manager, and another who was just working there which is who did my nails. Perhaps she was tired, and maybe another time I would have had a better experience, but my rating is for what I experienced today. The good: - Clean tools! They use new tools for every single person. - Friendly staff - Quick service The bad: The actual nails (see photos) - this is the same quality as I could have done myself at home instead of the salon quality I expected. One of my nails doesn't have full color, one was not filed all the way and is 'bumpy' on the end, and three of my fingers have nailpolish all over the skin. I will need to go home and fix these myself. Although the salon is clean and the staff is friendly, the whole reason I came there is to get my nails professionally done, and I am very dissatisfied with the results. read more

Very clean and the service is wonderful. When I went in they weren't very busy so I had a nice relaxing time and felt very honored by them.

The nail polish chipped away within 10 mins of coming home. My feet usually will be very clean if I go to other salons, but here I still had some feet cracks. Will never go back. Total waste of 50+ dollars read more

I just had a 75 minute pedicure by Donna for $47 + tip & it was amazing! Sea salt scrub, mineral mask & paraffin dip with stone massage. This is your typical strip mall salon & the ladies here a very sweet. The salon is clean & appointments are easy to get during the week. Weekends are busy! I left very relaxed & happy with my pedicure. read more

I can't stop raving about ViVi's Nails and how amazing Win is! I forgot to mention a few things in my last review, and wanted to share: Win and her team are amazing! Her team is fully trained and they are all amazingly talented. I had a pedicure with Mary, and she was phenomenal. The pedicure was a long relaxing soak, followed by Lemmon sugar scrub, which smells SO good, and a long wonderful massage and hot stone massage is included! Win does my acrylic nails, and is simply the BEST. She is always willing to try my latest Pintrest design idea, and is extremely particular in making sure it is done exactly how you would like and are nothing less than thrilled with the results when she finishes. Her salon is so clean, always sterilized and clean nail tools, quality products, is comfortable, and truly feels like a spa. This is the BEST nail salon in Redmond and Win and her team are truly amazing. I love coming here! You are always welcomed, feel like your business is appreciated, and they truly take care of you! Thank you, Win! I am so happy and thankful to find such a wonderful nail salon and with such wonderful people. read more

My daughter and I (and occasionally my college-aged son) have been going to ViVi's Nail Salon for the past three years. They never disappoint and the staff is very friendly. My daughter and I just had our first acrylics and pedicure, respectively, since March. My daughter says her acrylics are "fantastic." They are taking the appropriate precautions - masks, gloves, dividers - and by appointment only. The salon is a little tucked away (in strip mall on 164th and NE 85th in Redmond), and although it's not as plush and as modern as some other salons, it's definitely worth trying! read more

Really clean and relaxing environment! The ladies here are nice and professional, and they're willing to do designs if you bring a picture! I showed Hao a picture of some Pokemon nails and she was able to recreate it perfectly! I appreciate how she kept referencing the image I provided!

ViVi's Nail Salon - Pokemon nails when you're Pokemon GO-ing! Har har, okay I'll stop. - Nail Salons Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Reading all the spectacular Yelp reviews, me and my friends wanted to give this place a try. We went for the mani/pedi package last weekend. The pedicure was nothing spectacular. It was very very average. The lady who did my mani/pedi was annoyingly loud. She kept laughing and giggling at me. Apparently, I was chatting with my friends and I didn't hear her tell me to switch my feet. That kept ticking her pink. It was super annoying!!! Manicure could have been much better. I told her to trim my nails on the right hand a tad shorter than the nails on my left hand (because obviously, I am right-handed) and she did it exactly the other way around. She didn't do a good job at all at removing my cuticles. I wish I had taken a photo to post here. Think I will take my money somewhere else from now on. read more

Worst manicure I have ever had, I asked her to stop before polish was put on because I wasn't going to spend another cent there. I asked for my nails to be slightly cut down and some of them were cut down past the tips of my fingers and now they hurt. The corners also were not cut correctly so I will have ingrown nails in about a week. Uneven and painful nails should never be the result of a professional manicure. read more

Don't waste your time if you don't have all day and are not a regular customer. I'm sure their work is great, but their service is NOT. *Long post* I'm not one to write a negative review, but i left feeling terribly frustrated. My regular place was booked, so I called at 3pm and asked if they had availability for 3:30. They said yes, so I decided to give this place a try as it had good ratings. I showed up at 3:25 and waited a few minutes to get seated. She began soaking my dipped nails on time, rushed through them then said someone would be with me in 10 minutes. She walked away at 3:25, and from past manicures knew it would take 10-15 minutes to soak. In the meantime, they were helping their regular customers and other regulars walked in. I kept hearing everyone say, "Wow! You are so busy today!" ....The salon had two people getting a pedicure, and two people getting a manicure. Busy? hmmm... seemed strange. Anyway, I am an extremely patient person, but at 3:47 I was becoming very impatient as my nails had now been soaking for 22 minutes. I then began to calculate if I even had enough time to get a shellac french tip manicure as I had to be home in about 45 minutes. It's never taken me that long to get that done, but I decided to wait a few more minutes. A technician finally walked over and placed the tools down at 3:50, but then walked away to finish up someone else's nails. I understood, that customer was here first. However, she continued to set up two new stations, sat two customers down, to which it is now 3:57. When she came back, she took off the foil and hurriedly scraped off my nail polish. Just when I thought I was getting started and would have JUST enough time to get my nails finished, she put my nails in water and lotion to "finish" soaking them, then walked away again. She did not return until 4:05. My nails had now been "soaking" for 35 minutes! I am now coming to grips that I would not have enough time to get my nails done since they still had not even finished removing my previous manicure. What set me over the edge was that they sat down another regular right next to me, but instead of coming back to me who had now been there for about 40 minutes, the original technician who had started my nails, started working on the new lady next to me. The customer even asked her, "Do you need to help "someone else"? Because I'm early." Where the head technician replied, "No, it's ok." NO IT'S NOT OKAY! I have been here 40 minutes! Don't ignore a new customer because a regular has come in. The second technician returned for the third time, and I told her that I needed to go. She apologized that she "Didn't know that I was in a rush, and I should have said something." I wasn't in a "rush" until I had to soak my nails for 40 minutes! She cleaned up my nails, said to wash my hands and that I was done. Super frustrated now, I did so and began to walk out just to be stopped and told I had to pay $10. WHAT?! They just argued the excuse that it wouldn't soak off and can take a while. I said that it had been 40 minutes which it has NEVER taken that long anywhere! She then became annoyed at ME, said that I didn't have to pay, and continued to talk about the situation in front of other customers as I left, which was very unprofessional. Their time management sucks. That is why they were "busy" with the two pedicures and two manicures with plenty of technicians because it takes them forever since they continuously walk away from the customers. read more

*Update 2/19/14* It's been 4 months since my initial review of this nail salon, and I unfortunately and regrettably have to downgrade its star rating. Oh, how I wish this salon still were excellent! It is so close to my home, I had high hopes that my initial opinion of this place would be sustained. But, alas, no. I've been here 5 or 6 times since October and the quality of service you get here is incredibly inconsistent, varying wildly depending on the technician who you get. Case in point: I came here last week to get my daughter's eyebrows waxed. While there, the ladies asked if I wanted a manicure. Since my cuticles were in their usual tawdry state, I said sure, why not. What I got was the most unsatisfying, rushed manicure I've ever had in my life. Here is the chronology of this manicure: -1-2 minutes:removal of my existing polish on all fingernails -3-4 minutes: alternate soaking of each hand in bowl of warm water while the other hand gets cuticles trimmed -1 minute: filing of nails (that's 1 minute total for filing both hands' nails) -2 minutes: buffing of nails with electric buffer (that's total time for both hands) -at this point, the lady starts shaking the polish bottle and uncapping it, about to apply the nail polish. I pointed to the bottle of hand lotion, asking if they no longer do a hand massage with the manicure. The lady looks at me for a second and then says "I do the massage after". But then she reconsiders, re-caps the nail polish, and says "But if you want the massage now, I will do it now". Ladies out there, I ask you: have you EVER had the hand massage AFTER they've applied your nail polish? EVER? LOL Of course not! Your nails are wet and tacky after polish application. It would be ridiculous to do a hand massage immediately after putting on polish! Ridiculous! This lady never intended to do the hand massage at all and only did it because I asked about it. And the massage that resulted was the fastest, most haphazard and rushed and non-satisfying hand massage I ever had. -less than 2 minutes: hand massage (that for both hands combined,total) -2 minutes: polish application (for both hands, total time) So, in total, this manicure lasted 11-13 minutes maximum. I was never asked if I wanted my nails trimmed (which I did. I never thought to ask because I assumed it would be done, or at least, I'd be asked), and the hand massage deal just was the kicker. I don't know about you, but when I have a manicure (or a pedicure), I expect it to be a little treat that I indulge myself with. I get them once a month or less, and it's a treat. This time, it was no treat. I felt ripped off. On the plus side, my kid had an excellent wax job (it cost $2 more than any other salon charges for eyebrow waxing, but that's ok. I just wish this place would put a pricing list on their wall, so you know in advance how much their services cost. All other salons do this, but not here). Due to the inconsistency in service, I don't think I'll be back here for my manis and pedis. And it bums me out! Note: I find it....interesting that all the latest 5-star reviews of this salon (all within the past 6 weeks) are by new Yelp users with zero to minimal reviews and friends, and by folks who aren't local to the eastside. Very...interesting. Plus, one reviewer said she is offered bottled water here. Are we talking about the same salon? I've been here four or five times and never once was I offered water. My first experience here was stellar, but it went downhill a bit each time afterwards. Unfortunately. FYI. read more

I. Freaking. Love. This. Place. ViVi's is right next to my hair salon (Attractions Salon), so it's super convenient when I'm prepping for a fancy event (or I just want to freaking get my toes done). Nguyen owns the shop, and she is super kind. All of the techs are wonderful and ask polite questions, gauging how much you want to talk during your treatment. I always go in for spa pedis with my mom (though sometimes we cheat on each other and go solo) and for $25 ($30 with a tip) you get a spa pedicure in a massage chair, foot and leg exfoliation, hot stone massage, excellent lotion (smells yum!) and a beautiful pedicure on those toesies of yours. I'm a huge fan of ViVi's! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I have to give my compliments to Vivi's. The work they do is always precise and beautiful, there's a good selection of polishes, and the women who work there are always kind and friendly. The prices are very affordable, only $12 for a basic mani, and you get a lot more in quality and attention to detail than you would at many other places. They also give awesome hand and foot massages with hot stones and house made lemon scrub. I'm a bit of a nail salon veteran, having visited countless salons around Seattle and the Eastside, and Vivi's is by far my favorite. Go here if you want a great mani/pedi, you won't regret it. read more

I first went to ViVi's in 2012 and was impressed. I went back in 2015 and realized I did not recognize anyone and no one knew my name any more. In September 2015 at ViVi's an older woman who was not very friendly charged me more than I expected. She not do acrylic like I'd asked. She said "it not need it," when I expressly asked for it. No joke. She did not do what I asked her to do and she still charged me. I was so pissed off I won't be back. This shop has not changed management since 2012. It has had a huge change of staff. The staff have moved, en mass, to Nancy Nails & Spa. The Lisa that I mentioned in my previous review still knows my name. When I went to Nancy Nails & Spa I felt like I was in a strange movie, familiar people, different place. I don't know why Nancy left, that is none of my business. What I do know is the fabulous quality can still be found in a different nail salon. read more
