Lace Nail Lab

Once again had stop coming here. The new owners have decided to increase there prices which is so dump as there are nail salons within a few blocks of them. Of course, they don’t tell you about the increase until you go to pay. I love the ladies that work there bc they do a great job. Very disappointing how new owner is marking up the price using bullshit reason why! The new new tools barely cut the cuticles!

This place is so worthy going now that is under new management.
Service is great and I love the fact that my nail Polish was organic.
I will definitely go back. Love it.

Pricey but oh so worth it! Love their boutique within — so many cute tops and accesories!

Really enjoy this small place. The owner is friendly. It appears clean. I am always offered a drink (water, champagne/​wine). My boyfriend got his first pedicure here and he really enjoyed it.

I will start by saying… the staff and nail techs are nice, and the décor is pink and cute… but that’s not what these rating are about.
The low rating is due to the value and quality of what you are paying for. I don’t mind paying high prices if it is attached to top of the line work and little bit of pampering. I’m afraid at lace you get none of the above. The nail techs do mediocre work and more concerned about moving on to the next vs doing the best job they can do. For a mani and pedi they do both at the same station would be fine if its was a pampering experience. Its just not. The lighting is poor so I imagine part of the quality issue has to do with not being able to see the details of their work.
Ladies– will all of the nail salon choices out there, I suggest to go else where and pay a WHOLE lot less.

Needed 1 ½ hours to return my call told me 2 times they would call me back in 5 min. Finally told me they don’t have an appointment. My friend said its a horrible place anyways so I shouldn’t worry.

Fantastic service, relaxing environment, male-​friendly (as long as pink doesn’t bother you). I always leave refreshed and renewed. Great pampering!

John is the best thing about this place. The other person who worked the front desk hardly provided any type of spa like experience. She was hardly pleasant, a little wired and slightly rude. He was calm and did basic things to make the experience slightly worth paying for like offer tea or water.
The space is small so be patient with technicians rolling foot tubs and supply carts back and forth. If you need a service and that is all, I can’t say that mine was good. They push you out the door before your paint dries. I wasn’t offered a place to sit or anything. Over hour after leaving, my polish still wasn’t dry and ended up getting messed up at the beach.
If you’re willing to swap out the annoyance of techs speaking Spanish rather than Korean over your head, then is your spot.
We won’t even discuss the Groupon or Travelzoo coupon discussion. I just don’t understand why businesses offer them if they want to whine after you’ve already received the service and they obviously received the money. This was my first stab to determine whether I could become a regular customer since I usually pay more at Exhale at the Epic. You get what you pay for in Miami.

I popped in here on NYE with some of my lovelies & it was crazy busy! I’m not sure if its always like that, but that is more or less why I gave it 3 starts. I usually prefer a much more calming manicure experience. Nail technicians were constantly being bounced around like round robin & it has a slightly frantic feel. Anyhow, the girl that did my nails did a great job, and I’m now 6^th day out and don’t have a single chip. I can’t figure out how this is possible, but I’m not complaining. Everyone working was super nice. If I roll through here again and its a little calmer inside I will probably upgrade to 4 stars.

Lace has closed up their Beauty Lab in South Pointe and reverted all operations back to their original location — the Nail Lab near the spaceship Publix on 20^th Street. The staff and technicians from the South Pointe location are all well and good and have joined the staff at the Nail Lab.
The Lace staff offer the same great service and stellar mani/​pedis at the Nail Lab as I was used to at the SoFi location. They have a great selection of Essie and OPI polish, and I can always find a color (or 5) that I love.
The Lace signature mani and pedi include a scrub for your legs, and a mini-​moisturizing session for your fingers and toes. My nails always look great when I leave Lace, and I know I’ll keep coming back.
The prices are a little steep — $ 60 for a mani/​pedi combo, but they offer package combos that you can buy to save some bucks. The service also isn’t the fastest (it took about 2 hours for my recent visit, but they were absolutely packed), but if you request to have your toes and fingers done at the same time, and they have the staff to support it, they’ll totally hook you up.
They also have a cute little boutique in the front that always has cute clothes and jewelry, usually for very reasonable prices.
If you’re on the Beach and in need of a little pampering, give Lace a shot. You won’t be disappointed!

I went here yesterday for a mani pedi and really loved it. The place was very cute, clean and comfortable. They did my hands and feet at the same time which is AWESOME. Both people who did my nails were very good and sweet. I also got a great foot rub. I had bought a coupon for $ 30 for this so it was a steal but I don’t I can justify paying $ 60 the same thing every two weeks.
Note, you have to give all tips in cash.

I love Lace Nail Lab. It’s girly. It’s fun. And the technicians are nice. It’s a little pricey but the atmosphere makes it worth it. My only complaint is they need to get more polish colors for shellac. However, I did have a friend who tried to use her groupon and had some trouble. They should fix that. Nothing is worse than purchasing a misleading groupon.

Olga did such a beautiful job with my manicure. Helped me choose between 2 colors. Love the décor of the place.
My polish lasted longer than usual.
Can’t wait to go back.

Salon opened 6 years ago and it looks like it hasn’t been «kept up» since then. Pedicure chairs, though a cool design, are broken down an outright tattered. Actual service wasn’t too awful. I do like a thorough pedicure with deep cuticle clean up but I didn’t get that. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to get home to clean up some messy polish application. Overall the place itself is not appealing, and the service I received was sub par. The staff was pleasant for the most part but I wasn’t digging the specialists munching on gum like grazing cows. You won’t catch me here again. What a shame.

Lace is one of my top go-​to nail salon on the beach… and for good reason.
Décor is fun, cute, and very girlie pink. What this salon lacks in space, warm conversation, excellent customer service, and consistency make up for. I’ll even argue that Lace has the best all round polish of any salon I’ve been to. Essie and OPI are always updated with newest seasonal colors and traded out frequently. I’ve never had a hard time opening a bottle or with sticky color as with other salons which indicates past self life. ** Monday and Tuesdays are 25% off ALL services** Schwinggg!
The cute little boutique has handbags, hats and accessories. Receptionists are always sweet and kind. Nail techs are chatty but will respect quiet time if you start to dose off… def happens to me as I’m so relaxed! All pedicures include callus removal and hot towels wraps… ahhh. The missing 5^th star is because small wash basins are used for pedis and my feet get cramped. For a mid-​high end nail lab, I’d hope for spa chairs with big deep basins and jets (or maybe this is a west coast thing? Can’t find them anywhere). They only accept cash tips so don’t forget the green. If you do, the Publix across Alton will give you cash back on a purchase. I’ve also gotten a bikini wax here which was nothing remarkable and a bit pricey.
Unlike other reviews, I used a Groupon here and had NO trouble. They treated me just like any other appointment in past– with a gracious smile, relaxing experience, and beautiful shiny nails!

I can’t give a review on their actual services however I called today book a mani/​using my groupon, the woman told me she did not have the time available which i requested so offered to call the other location and ask if they had availability which i thought was nice. However, she thought she put me on hold but did not and she told the other woman that if a person calls with the Groupon just tell them you are booked up and try to push it to a more convenient time! how rude. I will give this away to a friend bc I am not giving them my business! Dont offer Groupons if you dont intend to honor them, you lost a potential regular and full paying customer!

this place is super cute. all pink and white and metallic décor. a girly girl’s dream nail salon.
right when you walk in there is a boutique with adorable clothes and jewelry. i browsed around a bit both before and after my appt.
it was hard to pick a color, bc they have a wide variety or opi and essie including all the new trendy colors.
i have been flirting with the idea of blue nails for a long time, and finally did it! a dark sparkly blue by opi, i absolutely love it!
my friend and i cozied up on the comfy chairs and began our relax mode and catch up on girl talk time. they brought us complimentary mimosas which totally hit the spot.
i love the industrial size tub you soak your feet in. imagine a huge tub about 3 times bigger than the traditional pedicure tubs, with much stronger jets, it gets wheeled to and from like a wheelbarrow.
both our pedicurists were so awesome and friendly. we struck up conversation immediately.
they worked well and i loved the hot towel wraps and warm oils and lotions they used!
about half way thru my pedi. another lady came up and started working on my mani. omg hands and feet at the same time, this was a first for me and i loved it. getting my arms and legs massaged simultaneously was an awesome feeling.
when we were done we sat and relaxed for a few more minutes before heading to pay. i reminded the girl at the front desk of the advertised on Unilocal special– 2 pedis and the 2 manis are free. and voila. all done.
(note, you cannot leave tip on credit card, luckily i had cash on me or i woulda been really embarrassed)
this was an awesome sunday treat. lace is significantly more expensive than my usual westchester mani/​pedi but the ambiance décor mimosas are worth it for an every once in a while treat!
oh and btw they can do private parties, like bridal showers, bday parties, and bachelorette parties. great to keep in mind!

One star because I don’t think I will ever come back.
My friend and I visited because of a promotion Lace did with
. I purchased mani/pedi’s for $ 29 — which is what I pay normally at my go-​to place so I thought why not try out this place where their mani/​pedi costs $ 65 — it must be amazing!
Not so.
If you are going to charge over $ 40 for a mani/​pedi it better be stellar. Lace’s mani/​pedi was sub-​par in my opinion, even if they were only charging $ 29 it was not worth it.
Pedicures are done in portable soakers that the employees roll over and plug in. The water was just barely luke warm. The comfy chairs everybody raves about — not that comfy. And the style of this place is not South Beach Chic. It is more like wannabe SoBe thrift store tacky.
In the end my mani/​pedi is so so. I would of much preferred to go to my normal place where I am comfortable and receive a better product for money.

Horrible at acrylics (pink/​white fills). They don’t even have the proper tools to do it. They over charge substantially, do a horrible job and you are stuck with it. Do not go there — run the other way!

This is by far my favorite place to get a mani/​pedi in Miami. I have been coming here for years — pretty much since they opened– and their service is consistently great. I have a bad habit of calling at the last second to see if they have a spot for me and somehow they always manage to squeeze me in, sometimes a friend too.
The décor is all pink and white. The storefront has great pieces, dresses, tops, candles, jewelry etc. Probably what makes me come back is how clean it is. I’m particular about how hygienic a salon is and their smell! I can’t stand going to those nail places that reek. It always smells fresh and clean. And I love how comfortable their chairs are. They always offer something to drink as soon as you sit down. Plenty of magazines to browse through if there is a wait .
They use the pedicure spa tubs and there is nothing better than just letting your feet soak in it. After your normal trimming, filing, massage they have this great warm lotion and hot towel wrap for your feet. They also do a quick massage for your hands. The only thing I wished they used is the little sander machines for the callus and dead skin. I know other salons use them and this would make the pedicure perfect here.
I have recommended this salon to friends and they always come back gushing. It really is fantastic.
