I spent over $300 at La Vida Nails with my niece and daughter and left feeling like I hadnβt even had a pedicure. The service was rude and showed no care. The polish wasnβt the problem β the buffing and foot work was. Dead skin was not removed properly, my toes and heels were still peeling, and one leg was rubbed while the other was ignored. Aside from painted nails, my feet did not look like theyβd been to a salon. This was especially frustrating as I paid around $90 for my pedicure alone. I donβt usually complain, but when my family commented that my feet looked like they hadnβt been touched, I went back to show them. I was sat down to have them redone and then ignored for 15β20 minutes. After already spending two hours there earlier and having to return again, I left frustrated. Only after I asked for money back was I reluctantly given $20 β no apology, just the manager arguing that I had βonly paid for an extra buff.β I spent $90 on the pedicure, over $200 on additional services, and still have to pay another salon to fix it. This business clearly lacks genuine care for its customers. I do not recommend La Vida Nails and will not be returning.

Lovely staff, however, not the best gel manicure I have had unfortunately

Absolutely LOVE Jen. She is amazing. I told her I was under pressure with a timeline. She was so gracious and kind and nailed it. Even got a bit of bling. The salon is great and they are popular for a reason. Thoroughly enjoyed myself

I booked in for a build-a-gel, but after I had already paid, I was told they were too busy and could only do a regular gel instead. The lady came over before starting the gel process, apologised, and asked if I wanted to go ahead with the gel, skip it altogether, or come back later. I explained I couldnβt come back later and would rather have gel than nothing, but it wasnβt what Iβd booked for. I requested a refund for the manicure since I didnβt receive the service I paid for, but I was still charged for the gel, which I wouldnβt have booked otherwise.

Fast service, do take walk ins but usually with a wait. Little impersonal tho that may be due to a language barrier. I walked out very happy
