Vela Nails

I LOVE Vela Nails! This unassuming salon is a true gem. Beware… if you are a fan of Acrylic or Gel nails, you may just change your mind.
Ann, the owner, is constantly upgrading the materials and services that she offers. Committed to only using natural products that are not harmful to her clients, she is the only salon in Baton Rouge that carries the SNS Nail product.
For years, I had acrylic nails. Loved the long length that it gave my thin brittle nails, but hated that the tips made the shape of my nails look bulky. Not to mention, REALLY hated the damage that it was doing to my nail bed. I love the shape of my natural nails and wished there was a product that would keep the shape of my nails and not damage them.
Then Gels came along… I was so happy, my nails would need to be a little shorter, because gel nails (shellac) didn’t fortify my nails as much as acrylic nails did, but at least my nails looked more natural and it was healthier. Or so I thought.
Then came Vela Nails and the SNS nail system. Ann taught me what these products were actually doing to my nails and the danger of the abrasive sanding down of my nail bed. SNS has kept my nails growing long (like acrylics) and strong The paint color staying on longer than gel/​shellac and my nail beds staying healthy because of the SNS nail system.

I just love my nails again! Thank you so much Choy! Recently I moved here from Texas and couldn’t find a nail salon who was able to create my nails like my previous nail technician from TX (I had for 15 yrs) I’m so thankful I now found Vela nails… Excellent ! The most friendly and relaxing atmosphere! I didn’t have to wait at all! Very clean! Choy is very creative, super friendly and did everything to create my nails so beautiful and everything to my satisfaction ! I found my nail salon where I will go to and highly recommend it for everyone!!! Awesome service!!!

Very friendly and no wait time. Had gel nails/​manicure and pedicure done… excellent job !

everyone is super nice, I’ve never had to wait more than 5 mins and they always do an amazing job on my nails

Andy was great! I don’t know my pedicure lady’s name but she was nice also. It’s a regular nail shop inside, but the staff are welcoming and take their time to to good work. I got gel on my nails and there was a little mixup when I asked about the price (because there is a mani/​pedi combo price but it does not include gel). Overall a pleasant experience and one of the best jobs on my nails I’ve ever received! Will be back.

Awesome nail salon! The people here are really nice and treat their customers like family, and remember everyone’s name. They have a large assortment of colors, and a variety a gel polish. They are very clean and sanitary, and offer a large array of services. If your ever in the area, give them a try, and ask for Choy!
