Vinci Nail Lounge - Upper Arlington

I have been looking for a great nail salon in Columbus. I have explored 3 others ones before I found Vinci. I have had 4 services done so far with them and the reason I come back is that my gel on my natural nails lasts 3 weeks. I am rough with my hands so that is telling. Other salons my nails last before 2 weeks. I love my nail technician too (Alexa) as she takes her time and makes sure I am happy. I am so bad at figuring out what I want but she helps me especially with color and verifies I like the shape too. I got proposed to with the nails they gave me and I also got married in them too.

I've been going to Vinci for several months for their builder gel services. Lou does an amazing job each time and makes sure I love my nails! Highly recommend this nail salon.

I absolutely love love love my nails every time I come in , book with Nayeli if you really want some extravagant nails, She’s super sweet and amazing I’ve been loyal to her for years!

Loved the salon! It was truly a luxury experience 😍😍😍 the facilities are pristine, top service and Kylie is the best nail tech! I usually go for smaller nails, the design was TOP, the ombré colors, the hand painted chrome stars. I can’t wait to go back and get something new!

I visited this salon for the first time on Thursday, June 19th, for a scheduled pedicure and Gel-X manicure with nail art. I had booked the appointment online in advance, selecting both the "Gel-X" and "Nail Art" options, but there was no add-on option listed for French tips. I arrived promptly at 4:00 PM, but was asked to wait about 15 minutes while the station was being set up. This wait made me question the point of booking an appointment ahead of time if everything wasn’t ready. To start on a positive note: the pedicure I received was great. The technician who did it was friendly, thorough, and took her time, which made that part of the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. However, the Gel-X manicure was a completely different story. When it was time to start, I was told that French tips are considered a different service—they appear as an separated service instead of an add-on like the nail art. This caused confusion, since I assumed that French tips with a small design would fall under the "nail art" option I had selected. The staff had to ask the technician if she had time to do both French tips and the flower nail art. At first, she said she could only do the French tips. I was going for a very specific look: almond-shaped Gel-X nails with clean white French tips and a small flower design—something simple and elegant that I had seen in an inspo photo. I had showed her my inspo picture, but once she started, it became clear the nails were not turning out how I had hoped. The shape was off, and the overall look didn’t match what I had envisioned. I tried to gently bring it up, but the technician was very cold and unapproachable, which made it uncomfortable for me to speak up. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I stayed quiet and just let her continue. At the very end of the appointment, she said she had enough time to add art to two fingers and quickly did a version of the flower design. Unfortunately, the quality of the work was very disappointing—my nails looked rushed, uneven, and nothing like what I had asked for. I left the salon around 6:00 PM feeling extremely let down and had to quickly find another nail salon to fix them, since I was leaving for vacation the next day. Overall, while the pedicure was a highlight, the manicure experience left much to be desired. Between the lack of clarity during booking, the technician’s unwelcoming attitude, and the poor quality of the Gel-X nails, I left feeling stressed and disappointed. I would not return for nails and wouldn’t recommend this salon for anyone looking for detailed or custom nail work.
