La Vie Nail Lounge

Wonderful atmosphere and pedicure with Anna. I recommend Anna. The manicurist (do not know her name) was very kind to accommodate my vision, which took 11 different polishes to complete. I selected all my colors carefully, and made a list in my notes app to clearly present them. But she seemed to get impatient towards the end (or maybe had another appt coming?) started rushing, getting sloppy and did not do a good job finishing the manicure. There was gel polish left smeared on my skin after and I had to ask for the acrylic buildup to be removed from underneath the nails; but then she only did one finger, meaning I had to scrape out the rest myself from the other nails when I got home (before and after pic attached). I also had to ask for cuticle oil (which is usually standard). Furthermore, I specifically asked for a micro french (very fine line at the tip), showing my existing manicure as an example. She told me a thicker tip would be better-suited to the nail length, and I reiterated that I understood that but knew I wanted a very thin, fine line. Then I had to ask for the lines to be made thinner as she went, because it seemed like she was completing it the way she thought would look better…….not how I asked for it to be done. I’ve been getting acrylics with custom designs for 15 years. I’ve worked with many stylists in multiple states & countries. I am also an artist & designer. Our job as providers when making someone’s vision real for them is not to inject our personal opinion, but deliver the client’s vision without letting our judgments influence the outcome (unless, of course, they AGREE with your expertise, and think it would look better to do it your way, but that was not the situation here). I might return due to Anna’s service, but it’s always nicer to get careful service from start to finish instead of having to ask for someone to finish your nails properly (and it’s uncomfortable to not get that treatment, even when you speak up). It would have been nice if she took it upon herself to look at each one more carefully, noticing the sloppiness herself, and fixed it. But it felt like towards the end, she just wanted me out of the chair. I don’t want to feel like I’m bothering someone by asking them to complete a service I’m there paying to receive.

I have been with An for about a year now. I am pretty particular about how I wants my nails done and he always has a great attitude (puts up with me)! I had my first pedicure, ever, done by Anna. My feet are so soft. I look forward to the next one! La Vie has the most intense massage chairs, it was like a deep tissue message! Tina is one of the owners and has a contagious smile and is incredibly friendly. Congratulations to the entire La Vie crew! And thank you for the great customer experience!!

I’ve tried several nail salons in the area, and La Vie is the BEST! An is my preferred nail stylist. He does awesome work! Ultimately, I’d trust anyone in this salon to do my nails/pedis. It’s extremely clean, and everyone in there is accommodating and friendly. Pics of my summer nails and my Halloween nails.

Absolutely gorgeous place to have manicures and pedicures! Massage chair use during my pedicure melted away all stress! Highly recommend! Tina does an amazing job! Had Halloween nails done today!

I’ve been going to La Vie for a few months now, and I’m very pleased with their services. Anna did my nails today. I got a hybrid gel fill, and they are perfect!
