Nails By VN

This was my first and last time here. I went because it is very close to where I live and I figured I’d try it out. I got helped right away. The first thing I was asked is if I speak Spanish. I said no and the nail tech shrugged and gave me an annoyed face. Okay… anyway I was able to tell her I wanted a gel mani/​pedi. She cut my toenails very short, so short that they hurt days after. This place is also not clean at all! After the tech finished my gel mani, she had me show another tech (I think this was one of her first times doing it). One of the reasons that I love to get gel is that not only does it last longer, it’s very shiny. This mani looked more matte than shiny. It’s now been less than a week since I went and it’s already peeling! I should’ve saved myself the money and just got a regular mani for this! The total cost was $ 48. You have to tip in cash here, so I handed the lady two $ 5 bills and asked for change for one of the $ 5. She thought I was giving her a $ 10 tip with the language barrier. I didn’t even want to tip after the service I got here! Also, when she went to ring me out, she handed my card to an Asia woman who was standing at the front desk (maybe the owner) who then told my tech to do it herself. The tech clearly had never used the POS system and the woman kept yelling at her until she got it right. Unprofessional.

Horrible Service, when the salon was empty. The nail techs were all rude. Over priced for not a good job. I would never go there AGAIN!!!

Very mixed feelings about this place. I came because my mother who was visiting from out of state came and said she had a good experience with a particular technician. My experience was not as enthusiastic.
Pros
1. Big selection of colors
2. Friendly technicians
3. Parking in Dadeland Station parking garage
4. Decent pedicure. A solid 3.5 out of 5. It looks good It just didn’t have that pampered feel to it
Cons
1. Nail polish I chose was not the best quality although it was Essie. Maybe a bad bottle.
2. first paint job was pretty sloppy. This may have been in Part due to polish. There were a bunch of little tiny bubbles showing up as they dried. Another lady ended up repainiting them for me and did a much better job
Will I return?
Overall I left reasonably satisfied with the way my
Nails and toes looked. I just cannot say it was a very enjoyable experience but definitely not bad. I will keep looking around. If I need to run in somewhere and get a pedi or fill-​in real quick I may return but this will not be my goto.

I came here last year & felt very disappointed. I got a pedicure for $ 23 & a manicure for $ 12 all in 30 minutes or less. The girl rushed through my pedi, also cut my toe nails super short when I told her «just a little bit». For the mani, my nails soaked for 3 minutes. The part I’m most upset about is the sloppy job on painting my nails. You can clearly see the layers of polish on top of one another. For that, I would’ve done it myself and saved the $ & dissatisfaction. Even worse, my belongings weren’t brought to me neither from the pedi tub nor the mani station-​& I’m noticeably [8 months] pregnant! I had to walk all the way to the back to get them, risking to ruin my freshly polished nails. I give it 2 stars because I at least I left with polish on my nails! PS. I couldn’t bare the sight of my nails, after having paid $ 40 to have them look like crap. So I called to complain & they told me to come in. The same girl attended me, rushed again. She blamed me for the sloppy job because I «chose» an old polish. How was I supposed to know? She picked a new polish, lighter than the one I had. She removed some of the polish & left traces of the dark one & began to paint my nails. When I asked her if she did not see that the dark leftovers where showing through, she stopped & began removing everything. So I tried to make it easier for her and picked a dark color. She still did a messy job. I didn’t complain a 2^nd time because, clearly, this girl has no idea what she’s doing. I know quality work. And when you know something can be done right, equally priced, you don’t settle for a manicure that looks like it was done by a 10 year old.

I have been able to just walk-​in and get either done with very little to no wait time. And as we all know, time is precious!
Therefore, if you are in dire need to get a quick mani/​pedi than you’re more than likely to be able to get it done here. When I do have time, I usually head to my regular place which is within walking distance.
I would say they do something different that I usually don’t get at other places and that is a warm towel over my feet which feels amazing!
I’ll continue to visit if I have emergencies but like I said before, if time is not an issue than I would rather head to my other place.

Look, you get what you pay for. It is clean and the prices are very reasonable, like 35 for mami and pedi. I have ingrown nails and the guy there always does a great Job. I can’t complain. I have had pedis at the ritz and high class salons and to me the guy does th same quality job.

Yesterday went to get pedi and full set OMG what a big mistake rude nail tech and the worst full set I have ever had look like press on nails when I complained I was told when you come back for refill use another person REALLY I wi never ever come back and please don’t waste your time or money in this place. WORST EVER

RUN! They have Essie and OPI bottles, but the stuff inside is anything but legit. Plus they are rude!

Today was my first time here and the lady that worked on my nails was super nice. Her name is «Gloria», I usually always do my hands and it’s been years since I’ve had a pedi so I was a little skeptical about getting them done with some random person. Gloria was really social with me and made me feel comfortable. Also, my eyebrows came out amazing! :D
My mother in law told me that she’s been to other places where they do great work for a lot cheaper. This place was slightly expensive, but I did need a spa day asap.

I’m not going to front — this isn’t the classiest joint. They have white hands with red nails for manicure chairs, the people who work there talk on their cells while they’re doing your nails, it’s a little dirty, and sometimes when they give you pedicures instead of holding up your foot for you while they use that cheese grater thing, they make you hold it up yourself. BUT if you happen to be in the area and need your nails done for whatever reason, they don’t do bad work and a mani/​pedi is cheap ($ 35). I’ve come here a few times just for the hell of it and every time my mani/​pedi lasts for a good long while. It’s just not the most pleasant experience while you’re there.
And they don’t let you leave a tip on a credit card/​debit receipt. Tips are only in cash and there’s no ATM in sight… wonder how many of their employees get screwed over by that.

I think this place is like a factory and a hot as hell one at that. They are rude to you. I went in for a polish change on my hands and feet and they didn’t even get all of the polish off. Also they act like they are always in a hurry. Please, there are like 20 of you, all you care about is the turnover and cash. They did a sloppy job on the polishing and just snicker if you make any type of comment in regards to a change. Please, I don’t care that you are right underneath Target, I’ll find another place that actually values me as a client!

When I want my nails done I always come here! The location is convenient, I’ve never had to wait, and the owner is on top of things. They have these wonderful massage chairs that send me into a relaxing wonderland. So much so that I forget I’m there for the pedicure. And best of all if you don’t feel like chatting no one is forcing you! Good selection of Essie and Opi polish and $ 35 Mani/​pedi. If you tell them your in a hurry you can be out of there in under an hour! Remember to bring cash for tip as you can’t put tip on the credit card.

Sometimes a girl needs a pedicure to do her body and mind good — and that’s been me for a couple weeks now. So, following the advice of fellow Unilocalers I chose VN Nails, given the ease of parking at Dadeland Station and the low prices.
I have to stay, the experience was ok, but less than fabulous. I know this is a no-​frills kinda place, hence the prices, but when it comes to a pedicure — personally I’m looking for a little but more. The entire pedicure literally took about 10 minutes. I barely had my feet in the water before she started working on them. Not exactly relaxing. They do a nice calf scrub and some other little touches, but it just moves way too fast.
The polish job was decent, but we’ll see how long it lasts. Next time I’ll spend a little more someplace else to ensure some actual pampering is part of the experience. If you just want your nails painted, and not much more, this place will do. It did seem a little messy/​dirty, which sketches me out a little. I think salons/​nail salons should be super clean. I didn’t watch all that closely with the actual tools, so I can’t comment on the sanitation process — but the rest of the salon just seemed a little too disarrayed for my taste.
PS — No tips on credit cards — that bugs me. Of course I didn’t see the sign until I was already in the chair, so I had to go to a cash machine afterward to get money for a tip.

I used to go here as my last resort for emergency mani pedis but I will never, ever go back. I asked what is the difference between the spa pedi and regular pedi and they said, «nothing», except one is $ 10 more? The place is pretty dirty looking and the smell — ohhh toxic chemicals. Dont go.

This place was booming when I opened up around the time the Dadeland station opened but I stopped going. Its kind of dirty and not that great. My sister got a french manicure there the day before her wedding and the next day got it redone somewhere else.
Not awful place but Im looking for another in an area nearby.

They’re not a fancy place, but most of the time they got the job done without a problem. I lived near this place and for the most part, I never had a bad experience with either my nails or my eyebrows. Some of the staff isn’t as friendly as they could be, but hey, the prices are decent. They’re also fast, which is a plus.

This is a budget, no-​frills nail salon that gets the job done if you’re looking for a basic pedi or mani. As like any nail place, the service you get is dependent on the manicurist so when you get one you like, HANG ON to them for dear life. The other nail salon, nearby, Pinkies at Sunset Place, though nicer looking, I feel has a staff that’s not engaged at all with the customers. The staffers here come from various immigrant backgrounds and you may have to express yourself a few times to get the message across clearly. I wish they had more ESSIE nail polish here but that’s my preference.
Funny enough, though this is a budget nail salon and there are probably upscale salons around, I always see a few polished, posh, housewives going here with their expensive handbags.
I remembers the pedi’s were about $ 23. FYI: Bring cash for tips because the credit slips don’t allow room for tip on it.
