La Vie Nail Spa — Local services in San Francisco

I stopped by for my first acrylic nail set and a gel pedicure. The staff was nice and quick, the chairs for the pedicure were super uncomfortable and there was no hot soak with jets just a bowl of hot water she brought over. I got my nail set and was initially happy with the experience (would not get the pedicure tho). But I realized later that they didn’t clean the dead skin from my fingers and toes properly as it was still there. It’s now been about a week and half and the pink polish on my toes has yellowed and looks gross. There is no reason for this to have happened and Iv never had this happen. Also the polish on my acrylic nails has also faded on the nail beds. I paid 110 and tipped 20 for nails I need to go get re done a week an half later. Cheap polish, and not worth it. What was supposed to be a treat to myself has turned out to be a waste. Thanks La...

I went in last Saturday, for acrylic nail as a walk in. I got there at 11:30 the lady said if I can come back at 12:30 I said it’s okay I can wait. 12:30 comes around they ask what color and what I wanted I told them . I sit in the chair , the lady glued the acrylic nail too close to the top of my nail. She was definitely in a hurry. The next lady comes to paint my nail and do four nails which I wanted nail art. She was in a rush as well, it seemed like she barely wanted to use the nail polish. my nail art looked okay could’ve have been better. The shape was what I wanted. After I left I looked at my nails, four of my nails were crooked I called to go in ( but never did because I was over it at this point) Overall my experience here wasn’t the best and I definitely won’t be back. 10/10 do not recommend unless it’s your last...

Giving 4 stars only because 5 stars on my scale would be a luxury spa. The quality of their manicures can definitely beat the majority of SF places even more expensive ones. I got same manicure that I normally get in places paying $18-25! The staff listens to you and can make small reasonable adjustments to the selected type of the manicure for free. I came here for a regular manicure which is $14 only! This is one of the lowest prices I saw. Don't expect a luxury ambiance, this is a simpler type of place, but it is clean and they sterilize their props which is very important. The staff is fast and friendly. This will definitely become my regular...
