La Vie Nails & Spa

I booked a very last minute shellac appt online and arrived at the salon 10 min early. This was my first time here so I didn't ask for a specific technician. They immediately sat me down and the very kind lady started on my manicure. The only issue I ran into was that they didn't have the chrome color I wanted so I had to choose a different color. The lady (wish I had asked her name), was very thorough but quick as well. My shellac manicure lasted 30 min..maybe less which was perfect! She did a great job considering my nails were all kinds of messed up!

Salon was nice, experience was good and people were nice. However the pedicure itself wasn't as thorough and didn't last as long as I would expect

I had tips with gel overlay put on the day prior at a different nail salon in New Berlin, my nails could not have looked more fake, very bulky and thick. I had Jimmy at La Vie I explained my disappointment to him he diligently worked on my nails until I was satisfied. Walked out with natural looking beautiful nails. I will be back!

I've been to La Vie twice now; first for a pedicure and most recently for a shellac manicure. They were recommended by a friend for their Covid precautions and both visits they were very mindful of clean practices.nnUpon my first visit, my sister and I got pedicures and had a very good experience. One of her fingers/cuticles were cut due to the filing being too hard/aggressive but other than that we were very happy with the experience.nnThe most recent visit was with a bachelorette party/group. They were very accommodating as far as getting the appointment scheduled and getting us all done at the same time despite having all different services. This was the first time i've ever had shellac manicures back to back; I had them done a few weeks ago in Madison and now at La Vie. Comparing the two, I was much happier with how my nails looked from the Madison visit. The La Vie technician did not get close enough to my cuticles with the polish, my nail shapes are uneven and there are a couple nails with inconsistent polish/globs on the side. The La Vie technician was also very rough/aggressive with handling my fingers to the point where I had to say something because it hurt. Overall, our group had a good experience and the girls were all happy with how their nails turned out but I think it depends on the technician you have; a couple of the circles also had bleeding from their cuticles.

Ivy is fantastic for pedicures. She is very meticulous and does a wonderful job everytime!
