Bella Vie Nail Spa

I have been a loyal customer there for several months. In the beginning I loved the atmosphere, the staff, and the quality of my gel fills, but my experience has been subdued to a ridiculous wait and a half assed product. Walk ins are taken before appointments and when You are finally seen an hour later it’s a rushed experience. I went in with a color and design in mind and I was told (after I waited an hour and ten minutes and it was near closing time) that they were unable to deliver what I want. I am stuck with discolored nails, a design I didn’t want, and nail polish splatter around my cuticles. One of the gentlemen that does the nails is so consumed with getting people in and out, he does not make it a relaxing experience and the quality is terrible. I don’t think it’s so hard to honor appointments, provide a relaxing experience and provide a decent gel fill.
My recommendation would be if you are desperate for a nail salon to just walk in rather than make appointments because they don’t honor it and be prepared to be disappointed. I’m going to give them one more shot to reconcile this, but I won’t hold my breath for them to change.

I give them 3 stars because even though the services we received were done very well, the time it took to get them done was absolutely ridiculous! We got there around 5:00 and didn’t leave until after 7:00. We got pedicures first and then when we were ready for our manicures we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for chairs because they kept putting walk-​ins that had been there maybe 10 minutes in the available chairs before us.
I’d consider going back it they can prioritize their customers.

Head over heels. Went in with me girlfriend for a mani & pedi to celebrate and they were fantastic! We had called while on our way to confirm they had time for us. Upon arrival we were given an extensive menu of pedicure options and add ons, asked to choose a toe color and immediately in the chair. No waiting. I picked the Hawaiian milkshake; which included paraffin wrap, milk soak, mango mask, sea salt scrub and everything a regular pedicure has! The massage chair was amazing — lots of mode options & it massaged from my neck to my hamstrings! Looooove! The gel polish manicure was great too! As I type I still have the polish on over 2 weeks later & no chips!!! Huge selection of gel polish finally. They also have a large regular polish selection and lots of art to choose from. I highly recommend giving them a try. They have over a dozen pedicure and manicure chairs. You won’t be disappointed.

This was my first time here and it was early on a Saturday so they were pretty busy. Despite that I got in and out in about 45 minutes. I got a gel polish change and it was very satisfactory. I’m giving it four stars because there were a few air bubbles and drips of polish on my nails. Otherwise I liked this place. They listened to what I wanted and were reasonably priced.

Gorgeous interior! The atmosphere at Bella Vie is the most luxurious of any other local nail salon I’ve ever been to. Beautiful up-​to-​date interiors always win big bonus points in my book. All modern luxury fixtures throughout the building.
Bella Vie is also the CLEANEST nail salon I’ve ever visited (admittedly, a more important point than pretty plumbing). Everyone I saw was using sanitized tools and otherwise seemed to be following the health code. From my seat, I could see behind their front counter – everything was tidy and organized.
The staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and plentiful. Their large staff translates to no wait time for walk-​ins, even when the parking lot was completely chock-​a-​block. My nail technician did a great job removing my acrylic nails. He wasn’t high-​pressure in his attempt to sell me a manicure; I appreciate that!
The price was as advertised, and I had the ability to leave a tip on my card (something that seemed to be somehow impossible at other local nail salons, strangely) so I did! I’ve decided this is my new nail place, and I’ll definitely be back for that manicure sooner than later.

Easily the best manicure & pedicure I’ve had in a while. Went with the Green Tea pedicure and the Paraffin manicure and recommend both! It was so relaxing and worth every penny.
Overall the place is very clean and the staff is super friendly! There is a lot of
Space to accommodate large groups. I also appreciated that my friend and I were done at the same time side by side for both the mani and the pedi– other places usually sit us up. I will absolutely be going back again and again!

When Bella Vie first opened, the quality of manicures and pedicures were top notch. Unfortunately, now that they are established, the quality is lacking. I just paid $ 45 to feel completely rushed through a pedicure, my nails are trimmed crooked and the polish looks like it was painted by a five year old.
The atmosphere is clean and well decorated but the services are not acceptable, especially for the prices they charge.

I was in the area for a wedding and went here with a huge party.
Positives: Great atmosphere. Place seemed clean. The staff was courteous and this is the longest lasting gel manicure I have ever had (2 weeks in and not a chip in sight). I am not sure if its their talent or the products they are using, but I would go again. I kinda wish they were closer to home, i’d get my nails done more often with this result.
Negatives: I felt rushed. They were looking to get bodies in chairs ASAP. They could have been concerned our large party would create a back log, but it was too early for that energy. Also, more technicians need to brush up/​acquire specialty techniques. someone was looking for an ombré look and though what they did was very nice it was not ombré.

I have been to this salon about 5 times now since it has opened and have always been pleased. Once they noticed I was pregnant they were extra kind to give me a little longer of a foot rub. I also always can get seated quickly as a walk in.

The manicure my mother got was awful, she will not be going back. She called to have them repainted and they said no, and that a manicure only lasts two days. I got a gel polish pedicure it was ok, the massage was pretty good. I sat there for two hours, which is a long time for a pedi.

Nice and clean, and the pedicure was wonderfully relaxing, but began to chip that night. I also had a shellac manicure done, and it started chipping in less than a week. Really diasspointing.

This is about the 5^th time I’ve been to Bella Vie and I do plan to return. They have become increasingly busy as months went by, so I do call first for an appointment and have never had to wait. I have been most impressed by their cleanliness, so was surprised to see some negative comments. Their prices seem to be slightly higher, but not unreasonable for the thorough, high quality manicure received, which lasted many weeks. I appreciate the effort they make to chat with the customer, not chatter among themselves in Vietnamese. Anna’s design for the décor is very pleasant.

Even though Bella Vie is very expensive compared to other salons nearby it used to be my favorite … until recently! They were great when they first opened but lately I feel like they’re rushing and not giving me the attention one would expect for a pedicure that costs $ 50-​$ 55 after tax and tip. Also recently they’ve started LYING about how long the wait is for a pedicure. The last two times I tried to go there, the guy who runs the place has told me «about 15 minutes» so I pick out a color and I sit and wait. and wait. and wait. and then eventually after 35+ minutes I walk out, after they totally waste my time. I don’t like being tricked into waiting — I’d rather come back later if it’s going to be that long right now, just be honest! Obviously you’re busy! The parking lot is a clusterf*ck! But that’s why I asked; so I could make an informed decision. Also here’s another thing that really bugs me: the guy who runs the place sometimes helps by doing nails too, but every time the phone rings he will jump up and go answer it. RUDE! And sometimes he comes back and continues to do your nails while he has the phone held between his cheek and shoulder. Excuse me?!! Your prices are way too high to not give me ALL of your attention and make me feel like a VALUED customer! Let the machine pick up the phone call and you just concentrate on taking care of the customer you have in front of you. For great service at half the price I’m going to go back to Tropical Nails in the Blue Mall on Dorset as soon as I finally use up the rest of the gift certificate to BV my husband got me.

I treated my 14 year old daughter to a mother-​daughter mani since I was going out of town for a week the next day. Manicures at Bella Vie are $ 30 and we had high hopes because the salon is so nice inside. We both felt rushed the whole time. The exfoliating was done on the backs of our hands only and consisted of about three circular rubs. The most disappointing thing was that for $ 30 we didn’t even get hand massages! Just three more circular rubs of lotion on the backs of our hands. Thu did my nails and she did not spend any time at all shaping them. They were crooked and misshapen to the point that I had to shape them myself when I got home. One week later, our gel has peeled off to the point that we were easily able to just take it off. I think they use a really cheap brand. Overall VERY disappointed with Bella Vie. I won’t waste my money there again.

I had high hopes for this place but it sadly dissapoints greatly. Pedi was so bad, I had to go get it re-​done!

I’ve tried many nail salons. Bella Vie is the best one I’ve been to.
The décor is elegant, the atmosphere is serene and the people are warm & friendly. They actually treat you like a person, and talk to you.
I get their gel mani and love it! It lasts 2 weeks and looks great throughout.
One of my coworkers got a pedi and said it is the cleanest salon she’s been to; I totally agree. The prices are better than other salons, too.
You owe it to yourself to try this classy salon!

The pedicure I had was fantastic. the womans name tag said ‘bee’. I had the lavender and honey one. She didn’t rush. Great massage. Everything was clean and fresh out of the package. Paint job was great. Then it was time to get my nails filled. The man who did them said he was the owner. The drill bits and files and buffers he used were noticeably very dirty. I saw him go from the lady next to me to me and do nothing to sanitize. He put a wet towel under my hands and several are my nails are crooked and lumpy. I was not impressed, especially by a business owner. I won’t be back and I’m praying I don’t get anything from the dirty drills and files.

These guys are my new favorite nail place. My nails looked great and lasted longer than any other place around. I’d even go as far as saying they’re better Royal Nails!!! They are beyond clean (sealed sanitized tools in individual pkg) and their mani & pedi options are as high quality as a fancy spa. Definitely not your typical nail salon, but the same great prices. Give it try you WONT be disappointed!!!

Such a beautiful nail salon. They created a really relaxing atmosphere. It’s family owned and operated and they are so friendly! You won’t want to go any other place for your nails… ever.

Just finished my first pedicure here. What a delight! A full pedi menu — I chose the lavender and milk pedi for $ 35. I have bad callouses and she handled them easily. No razors for those who prefer them. Fragrance was not overwhelming and the massage chair was fun. I chose one of the toluene free polishes. Took an hour and did not feel rushed. Right now they have a small staff do you may wait on for walk ins. I will definitely be back.
