Bella Vita Salon And Day Spa

I purchased a Rhode Deal for a wash and blow dry and a mani pedi, and what a mistake. I unfortunately saw these other reviews after I had trouble making an appointment and wished I hadn’t purchased the Rhode Deal. I just wanted to forget the whole thing. First off, scheduling an appointment was difficult. The phone would ring and ring. I finally reached the owner and scheduled an appointment. She then cancelled the appointment a few days before. I had to play telephone tag on her cell phone to schedule another appointment. I am uncomfortable calling someone for business on their cell phone, but I couldn’t reach anyone on the business phone. There were a lot of excuses about moving locations and the phone service not working right, and going back to school and not having enough hours done so my appointment had to be postponed. Then she had the rescheduled appointment listed in her calendar wrong. But, I think she realized it may have been a mistake because she called to check it with me a couple of days before. Perhaps now that they are settled in to the new location and she’s done with her school hours, things are better. I don’t know.
Finally, the appointment occurs. It was… okay. The woman who did my hair seemed new and nervous… like I was her first or second client ever. Okay, I’m not against newbies, so hopefully she is more comfortable by now. The woman who gave me the mani/​pedi is the owner and the one I dealt with for the appointment. Personality wise, she was really nice and personable, and it makes me feel bad writing this review. She did a decent job cleaning up my nails as I rarely get them done. My mani was great. But my pedi… well, I didn’t notice it in the light at the salon, but the polish turned out to be awful. The color itself was fine, but it was on unevenly; there were spots where you could see through to the nail and other spots that were thicker. I don’t know what happened there.
Perhaps with time this place will get better. So, stay tuned for updated reviews… but, by other people, because the appointment setting experience was enough to make me stay away.

I would give no stars if I could. I bought the groupon they had several months ago. I called 3 times to schedule an appt. and no one would ever call me back.

A friend and I went here with Groupons a few months ago. The area of town was a little sketchy but I have seen worse, so we proceeded. The people were nice enough but the girl who gave us our pedicures said she just started doing pedis, and it showed! She was lotion-​happy, I was slipping all over after she was done. After she finished with my feet in the tub, she asked me to hover my feet over it AS SHE DUMPED BLEACH IN IT! Really? And then after she finished polishing nails, and moved on to my friend (there was one manicurist and one pedicurist), she realized she only had enough toe separators for me, and so when it was my friend’s turn, SHE ASKED IF I MINDED GIVING HER MY TOE SEPARATORS!!! Listen, this was my best friend, so it was fine with HER, but does this happen often? GROSS!
The Shellac manicure seemed to go a bit better, but clearly neither the manicurist or the pedicurist new what they were doing. Shellac should last two weeks, and mine started chipping after a few days. AND a pedicure should last weeks, but because the lotion-​crazed pedicurist didn’t make sure there was none on my toes or that of my friend’s, both our pedicures were ruined in a few days. The polish was peeling off my toes in SHEETS. I will NOT be back and I suggest no one else GO IN.

The massage was great… but the ambiance left A LOT to be desired! I bought one of those online discounted deals and for the price it was GREAT but I would never-​ever have stepped foot into this place under any other circumstances.
When I pulled up I honestly thought I was in the wrong place… curb appeal, I don’t think so! The massage room was also the product room, lets just say that wasn’t the most relaxing image when I walked in. They did have several candles lit and it smelt nice, although I was slightly nervous in the tight corners that something might fall. Nothing like a nice relaxing massage in the storage closet — for real! I under on the table and waited for the masseuse to arrive and tried to relax listening to the music. I then heard a gushing waterfall (which I thought was the music) although it was just the toilet running next door… yikes!
The Masseuse was absolutely wonderful and did a great job, although a massage is a rarity in my life and I want the whole deal, ambiance and everything.

I agree with both reviews. The salon was filthy, the Mani/​pedi was not professional. No soak or lotion on a
Manicure, just a polish change?! Really?! Maybe the salon was not happy about
Me using An eversave deal– but then don’t offer it. I will NOT be back.

terrible pedi/​mani. i bought a group on, and thought i/​ll give it a try. waste of time! and money… pedi+mani took almost 2 hours and the girl was so lazy!!! she didn/​t even cut the cuticles, i had to ask for it!!! and the worst part, nail color (essi) the next day was all ruined, probably it was an old nail polish, that never completely dry… gosh, i wish i went to the place i know r good and fast… (city nails i think…)
