Venetian Nail Spa Perkins Rowe — Local services in Baton Rouge

I usually don’t post reviews but there comes a point where bragging to friends and buying people gift cards isn’t enough for me. This place deserves public recognition! If you’re looking for a place, but are hesitant.. STOP looking and go! This nail spa is EVERYTHING! I used to like to try different places but when I got my nails done here, I had to go back!

1. My nail jobs are my real nails and Dip Powder. My pedicures are gel.
2. WALK-INS ARE WELCOME but I RECOMMEND booking an appointment as the place gets extremely busy.
3. ALSO, I recommend booking an appointment because, Truthfully, not all nail techs are trained to do designs/ombré so it would benefit you to tell them when booking so the right technician would be assigned.
4. I say the above but, also, say that my nails have been done by almost every person there(I rarely request a person) and EVERY TIME HAS COME OUT AWESOME! I have not had a bad experience in the 8 months I’ve been going. EVERY PERSON HAS PROPER SKILL. There have been places that dent my nail, cut into my cuticle, or where the dip has come off not even a week later… I’ve never experienced that here. My dip lasts until they grow out and have to get redone.
5. My first time going was getting ready for my Bridals. The place was so beautiful and clean, the people were so welcoming, and I went in as a “walk in.” They we’re busy but got me in. They offer cold drinks and water. I showed a pic I found off of Pinterest and they mastered it.
6. I was looking for a good place for my wedding party to go where the experience would be fun, organized, and relaxing. Anthony got me booked for a party of 11. He requested that I tell him what services each person was getting to make sure he had enough technicians able to do our requests. The downpayment was affordable and when the time came, everything was PERFECT! Out of a party of 11(4 kids included), not one single person had a problem or complaint with their nails! They all turned out beautiful, the workers were pleasant and made us feel so special, the process was easy full of plenty of laughs, and we still talk about how wonderful that day was to this day(I let everyone pick their own color/designs). It made this bride so happy! They sat us in our own section for pedicures while the worked on the others’ manicures(not enough room for all of us in one spot of course, but they tried to sit us together as best as possible)
7. Prices are comparable to other places with an elegant and relaxing environment. If you have questions about pricing, workers are knowledgeable.
8. The pedicure Chairs are so comfy and provide a nice, well-deserved massage while you enjoy your pedicure. The Venetian pedicure is my favorite because you can choose what scent they use for the pedicure(green tea, lavender, citrus and This new pomegranate(my favorite!!!). The foot massage you experience is a plus too! I’ve had my feet done by every staff member there.
9. (I bet y’all are glad to see the end🤣) I realize this review is so long but, again, I don’t post reviews often. So when I do I feel passionate about the places I post about. I am one who reads reviews so I feel like this would help people like me looking for a good place. You will not be disappointed… unless you’re hard to please 🤣🤣 Enjoy the pics(I wish I had pics...

Date of visit: July 10th

This was my third time visiting Venetian Nail Spa at Perkins Rowe, and unfortunately, it will be my last. I never expected I would have to return a fourth time due to ongoing issues with broken nails, but that’s exactly what happened.

I paid extra for a nail repair, which turned out to be nothing more than dipping the cracked nail into powder. When the problem persisted, I returned again expecting a proper fix—only to receive an additional layer of polish over the damaged nail. This temporary solution did not address the actual issue, and unsurprisingly, the nails broke again.

At that point, 9 days had passed since my initial visit, and I was charged yet again for a full reapplication: polish removal, repainting, and yet another powder dip repair. One nail completely broke off, which led to yet another visit and a frustrating conversation with the technician. I specifically showed him the crack on my thumb nail, and instead of addressing it, he simply applied another coat of polish on top.

The most concerning part was the method used to repair the broken nail. Instead of properly soaking off the base and polish, the technician yanked off the product by inserting a plastic tip underneath it—this can seriously damage the natural nail plate. This is not how professional nail removal or repairs should be done.

To make matters worse, just two days after that appointment, the nails began cracking again. The technique used was "Polish Gel," which is supposed to provide strength and durability, yet I experienced repeated breakage and very poor longevity.

This experience has left me extremely disappointed. The standards and quality of service at this salon are far below expectations, especially given the additional charges for repairs that were ineffective and improperly done. I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for long-lasting or professionally handled...

I LOVE Anna and have been going to her for a while. I went to her on Saturday and she did great however the next day the dip on one of my nails chipped (not my actual nail, just the dip) and the other one I stubbed and that whole nail broke - my real nail since I did not have tips on any of my nails (I would usually say that it’s my fault that second nail chipped but my nails do not break easily, in fact, they’re very strong and hard to trim which she mentions and we laugh about every time I come in, but this time they were shaven much more thin than usual and bent very easily). Again, I’ve been a regular customer and things happen so it was fine.

My issue is not with Anna because she really is great. I came in and the woman fixing my 2 nails, Yumi, was incredibly rude and off putting. I’m not sure if she thought I purposely broke my nails and wanted to drive 40 minutes back to the nail salon to get them fixed 2 days later or if I was trying to get one over on them or what but her attitude was very unpleasant. I was then charged $5 for the nail I stubbed (I get it, I stubbed the nail, but honestly for the rudeness of Yumi who I’m guessing was rude bc she thought I was getting a “free” service and the fact my nail was shaven extremely thin which in my opinion caused that nail to bend, that $5 pissed me off).

The guy at the front desk was nice but honestly at that point charging the $5 was unnecessary. I’m a regular who tips $10+ every time I come in. I’ve actually gotten a lot of people to go to this salon and had just recommended Anna to 2 of my friends but after that charge and Yumi I honestly don’t know if I want to come back. Not bc Anna isn’t great, but bc when something goes wrong the people fixing your nails are...
