Vivi Nails

Can't wait til my next appointment ????

V is the BEST!!! Started with V and then moved to NYC. It was such a challenge to find anyone that even compares to V and her staff. Now I’m back in Miami and happy as can be with my perfect manicure and pedicure!

I’ve been coming here for a few years now, and I am not sorry to say that I will not be back. While getting a pedicure, I asked my technician if I could also get a 10 minute reflexology type foot massage. Apparently they do not offer foot massages here. That’s perfectly fine, however instead of my technician explaining this to me like a professional, she disrespected me by talking in another language to the other technicians about me and my request. She was complaining and laughing at me for what felt like an eternity. It was incredibly cruel, and I was very uncomfortable. A simple «we do not offer that service» would have been the classy route, but instead, she persisted to talk about me (while still holding my feet) in a language that I could not understand. Also, the place is dirty.

So, I’m sitting here getting my pedicure did and decided to leave a review cause I haven’t reviewed anything in quite some time.
I am not sure what kind of devil magic they do here, but I have consistently had the longest lasting pedicures here. And I thank bebe Jeebus for the day I walked in this hole in the wall, which is conveniently located next to… Hole in the Wall!
ANYWAYS…
My last pedicure was late August before a vacation to San Francisco where I wore boots and closed-​toe shoes for a week. And it is now September 26! (Obviously my feet look like a ratchet mess by now cause I’ve been slackin’ on my pedicure game – calluses everywhere, growth at my cuticles, etc… BUT the nail polish isn’t chipped. It’s completely intact! Disclaimer: You should NEVER go that long without a pedi!)
In addition, they do beautiful pedicures. I’m scared to get my toenails cut sometimes cause some places cut them so short it be lookin’ like you got nub toes! Not here. They cut them perfectly to match your nail bed. Square them beautifully and evenly. They also cut the perfect amount of pellejitos. They don’t completely skin your toes! They’re also affordable at $ 22 a pedi. And $ 30 for a mani/​pedi.
Now, I’ve never had an actual manicure here, but I’m excited to get one soon. They have a large variety of OPI and Essie and usually the latest collections. (irregardless, I like to always bring my own polish from home) They also do gel nails.
Also! Staff is friendly! If you’re in the mood to talk they’ll have conversation with you, but if you’re slightly more introverted at your pedicure sessions (like me) they won’t push to talk to you. (Maybe if we’d talk my Unilocal review wouldn’t be so long…)
I gave this place five starts to bump them up on Unilocal,but honestly I would say they deserve 4.5 just because it’s not like… a particularly luxurious spot. But it is clean! And there is a wait time sometimes! Also, I have to point out that they’re pedicures are pretty basic. No fancy tools and equipment. Just the good old fashioned stuff!

I have gotten my nails done here quite a few times and every time I am very satisfied with them. They are all very meticulous in what they do and the staff is friendly. The price, $ 48 for gel French manicure and French pedicure is a bargain!

This nail shop is good but not great. What keeps it from being great is the dirty fish tank and the extremely slow technicians from time to time. There is a man named Kenny who is very good, and should you request him you will consistently receive great nail services. The pedicures are simply average and the ambience leaves a lot to be desired.

LVery friendly, awesome detailed nail art. Love it!
