Spa & Nail Fever

Chau is AMAZING! I have been going to her for 4 months now and I have not had 1 broken nail since. My nails are as long and healthy as they have ever been. I can go a full 21 days with a gel manicure and they still look perfect. The only reason I get them redone is because they have grown out so much by then. If not, they would probably last a 4^th week. I am really so pleased with her work.

Cindy and Mark is no longer working at Spa & and nail fever, they have move to Vanetion Nail and spa up the street. Here is there cell number, 786−219−8839 thank you

Poor quality work. My 2 week old nails looked much better prior to the work received. They talk to much among themselves that’s why you are there at least 1 ½ hours waiting for them to complete your nails. NEVER AGAIN!

I went today to get a gel mani and pedi. I got a really nice lady. Her name is Linh. She was super friendly and she did a great job on my nails. I couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely going back to see Ms. Linh. She was amazing!

I love this place, the surroundings are calming and technicians are mostly very kind. This is where I come to relax and pamper myself. Denise is very good.

I WILL NEVER GO BACK… After what seem like a relaxing day at the spa turned bad fast. I was getting a pedicure here and afterward my big toe started to hurt. 3 days later the pain was excruciating and I noticed my toe was inflamed and contained green pus inside.

I came to Nail Fever on 147^th and US1 the day before the trip to DC, I was switched after my amazing manicure to a young 20 something guy to do my pedi. He did not do my cuticles, did not pumice the soles of my feet (but did scrub the crap out of my ankle bone?). I asked several times to switch back or to someone else and was told they couldn’t but to speak to the owner after. I spoke to him and he was very kind and offered to fix my pedicure. I explained I was leaving to the airport in 2 hours and didn’t have time and would not be back for 2 weeks. He said,“Okay pay now for this one and when you get back remind me and I will take care of your next one” Well, should’ve gotten it in writing. Today I was yelled at and treated like a criminal in front of all the other patrons and my daughters. I sat there getting my cuticles cut and foot scrubbed with pumice (he literally refused to do any other part of the pedicure because he says that is all I was missing from my last one) I am getting dirty stares from him. I am in shock that after years of coming here and actually paying for a horrible pedicure last visit with tip, I am treated like a criminal when I was specifically told to come in and he would take care of my next pedi. He waited until my feet were in the water to start yelling at me. I am so upset and humiliated. He went so far as to refuse me the other services (mani hair) that I was paying for and told me to get out. Very hurtful after years of patronage from myself and many family members. It was like Jekyll and Hyde. We are honest people who always over tip. I would have rather he refused the comp from the get go than handle it the way he did. I have always loved their work and never had such an issue, but this was a doozy. Lesson learned, DON’T ever pay for bad service and DON’T ever trust a person’s word when it comes to business. People nowadays have no integrity when it comes to making a buck. Very unfortunate, could have been handled much better.

I’ve had way better. First off, I’d always thought this was a small salon from the way it looks on the outside. It actually has over 20 nail tech desks and 16 spa pedicure seats, with tanning, waxing and eyebrow service rooms in the back. Pretty overwhelming for me. Anyhow once I walked in a technician pointed to the cashiers desk, located halfway between the manicure section and the pedicure section. I was told to choose a color, and then a man showed me to a pedicure chair. I sat there for about ten minutes, then the man returned again and turned on the water in my footbath. He didn’t add any salts to the water but I figured the person taking cares of me that day would handle it as soon as he/​she came to turn off the water. My footbath was close to overflowing before I could get the attention of that same man to ask if there was an auto shut off or what. He hit a switch to turn off the water and went back to his pacing the salon.
I sat unattended for almost 20 minutes but my feet were in really bad shape so I figured I was beating the system by letting them soak so long. Finally my person came and got started on my feet without adding anything to the now lukewarm water. She really didn’t say much except to ask if I want my toenails shorter. Pedicure was fine. I’d say she could’ve spent more time massaging my feet and legs but at that point I’d already been there an hour and was ready to get my mani done and get out. Manicure started out ok. She asked if I wanted gel so I agreed to it. It ended up being a completely different collor than the polish on my toes even though the technician assured me it was the match to the regular polish I had on my toes.
$ 70 later, let me just say that by the end of the same night, my gel manicure was already chipped. I would never go back here EVER. Not worth the time and sub par service.

Terrible place to go ! Maybe the place is nice but service just «sucks» I waisted my money ! Never go back !

I’ve been coming here for years really more for convience than quality. They have definately had a face-​lift in recent years and updated equiment so good for them. My manicures and pedicures are satisfactory and last a good amount of time. Ask for Pinky she’s a boss.

Great neighborhood spot in Palmetto Bay to get a nice mani/​pedi. Very large selection of colors to choose from. Especially in gel colors. I’ve been going to this nail salon for years at its close to my house and I’m always greeted warmly and attended to within minutes of getting there. I stick with one technician by the name of Linda who is very detailed with gel manicures. Typically lasts me up to three weeks. The salon is very clean and is beautiful decorated. Comfortable leather massage chairs. The owner is very attentive.

Last time I went there was the day of my prom. I wanted a light pink color. The color they were using was clear so I asked for more coats or a darker color. The manager brings me a black nail polish and asked me if that was dark enough… I let them finish up since I had to go to prom but that was the most embarrassing and unnecessary experience. Congratulations on the renovations but there is no customer care.

Dear Spa & Nail Fever,
My, my… How you have grown up! Not only have you undergone a complete remodel job but you now include a hair salon/​blow dry bar! This truly is a «one-​stop shop» for beauty. :) Glad I’ve been a customer for so long. The progress is wonderful!
I will say one thing, prices have also gone up a slight bit, but I understand. I’m not mad at ya!
See you tomorrow,
SabrinaAnna*

I have done my nails here many times considering how relatively close it is to my house. My mother has been a fan for years, since she’s not really loyal to a specific nail tech yet and has done them with Linda. I like how clean it looks and how nice the nail techs have been with me. Every time I go, I go with first available and have done both gel and regular manicures and always a pedicure. Each time, has been successful and have not been disappointed. I like the mass selection of nail colors they have for gel and for regular.
Overall, I’ve had pleasant experiences here and would recommend this to anyone.

As the saying goes fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! First time I went it was on a Saturday, while finishing shopping for hallmark cards next door and needed my nails done and decided, «why not, I’m here all these places seem to be the same how bad can it be»?. It looked very nice remodeled and clean. That in itself made a difference for me to try it out!
You walk in and go to a reception area in the middle where they ask what services you would like. For what I asked for, I was quoted $ 20.00. Once I sat down with the nail tech she said «I needed a full set, I told her «I don’t have fake nails The nail tech of course hardly spoke English and convinced me to redo all my nails with a pink over coat on my own nails, she said it would protect them I said «sure, I’ll try it».
Upon her completing this process she left one of my nails super uneven. So before she asks me to wash my hands I then asked her why she was leaving that nail like that? With her accent, which I obviously can’t understand «ohhhh ooolkkk I will fix for you». Obviously I don’t think I need to tell a professional nail tech that has a license to fix a nail which is uneven and it wasn’t in that shape prior to your recommendation of the pink overlay, just to charge me more.
Throughout this entire pink process she didn’t stop asking if I needed a pedicure and I kept saying no. Again, I think the language barrier must be hard for them to understand NO.
At the end of this manicure I ended up paying $ 35.00 instead of the quoted $ 20.00 and gave her $ 5.00 tip which you can only leave in cash and they put it in this old fashion index card with their name. Who knows if they even get their tip.
Well that pink overlay didn’t do much for my nails as that same night one of my nails broke. So, of course this is where you can shoot me, but let’s give them a second try. I walked in, and of course the girl that originally did them was not there. I was asked «what you need done» I said fix my nail which broke when I had them done this Saturday. I also requested a simple manicure, since I was already there. I was asked 5 times, yes 5 times I guess the first 4 they didn’t understand English, if I wanted a pedicure and I had to keep saying NO!!!
Yes, already my Cuban blood was getting a little boiled.
I finally sat down, lady says you need full set!!! I told her, I just want a manicure and fix this nail that broke because of the pink overlay you all recommended.
She went to the back to get this «supposedly sterilized kit» which was open, who knows how sterilized that was and ended up using a used cuticle remover she already had on her table because she didn’t like the sterilized one! And AGAIN throughout this whole process, I was asked «you want pedicure»? I almost had to tell her! Listen stop asking me you are not touching my feet and my feet are not touching those pedicure «spa chairs» that you ridiculously charge $ 35.00 because the chair gives you a massage and I see that they use the same pumice on every one that they have used on others.
My fellow Unilocalers beware of this. They should use a new file and pumice on each person and throw them away or give them to you. That is how people get infections and transmit foot fungus!!!
Well to finish off my experience, I gave her my own nail polish which was a Channel polish, she looks at the bottle and says «ohhhh fancy» then smells it and says «smells expensive». Well, I know where this was going. I was charged $ 20.00, yes $ 20.00 for a manicure and nails were not even filed.
They remind me of a sweat shop! I definitely will not be going back!

I have been going to this salon for years with my family. Over the years their quality of service has depreciated. My mother, grandmother and aunt were all regulars and now, will not step foot into this salon. Their service has always been of mediocre standard but due to location and price (and me not being a finicky person) I’ve resorted to this salon for convenience.
My reasons for giving them ONE STAR, I was there a little over a month ago to get my eyebrows waxed. The women messed up my brow, when I asked for her to fix it she had the manager Amy come in and they both spoke, irately in vietnamese «fixing» my eyebrows. I left with swollen red eyebrows which later that night, scabbed. I went back the following day to talk to the owner, he felt very bad and made my manicure and pedicure complimentary.
ONE MONTH later, I still have the marks! I called the owner expressing my concern and that I am so unhappy the marks are still there. He said he will offer 3 free manicure and pedicures. When I came in he went back on his word.
LONG STORY SHORT… I dont care for the compensation of free nail services because I will never go back. I just think it is unfair and speaks volumes for a salon that has had my business for years treat me this way.
VAN THE OWNER IS RUDE AND HIS WIFE AMY IS CRASS.
DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON.

I took my daughter for a pedicure and manicure, she was very happy. The lady that did the pedicure and manicure was very nice to my daughter. I have visited twice and both times has been full.
I would recommend Spa & Nail Fever.

I go here often but I always go to either Pam or Jane. They take their time with your mani/​pedis and don’t rush it. They are both more experienced than other people and they actually show that they care about you.
Also, they have conversations with me as well which is always pleasant. (Yes, they speak English too)
They make sure you like the end result and check-​up on me while i’m at the dryers.
I always set an appointment and never have a long wait.
My nails last a long time and I’m very happy about going here always :)

Omg!!! This place is horrible! PLEASE, do not waste your time or money! Trust me when I tell you!

I’ve had lots of different women do my pedicure here, but Maggie was awesome.
Enough to make me make sure to remember her name.
All the women that I’ve experienced have done a good job, but I do understand what other reviewers mean about service. Some of the ladies talk to each other, in whatever their native language is (Thai? Chinese?) while ignoring you, while doing your pedicure.
HOWEVER, lets be fair ladies, we have our magazine in our lap, or are phone, or are watching the TV or playing with the massage chair remote and started ignoring them first.
I don’t care at all that they talk to each other in a language I don’t understand (hey, I live in Miami, I’m used to it.) as long as they do a good job on my feet.
And for $ 10, they will do do my 3 year old’s nails too. And it makes her feel like a grown up princess.
