La Vie Salon & Spa

Let me start with saying, I have never written a bad review ever, I always try to find something positive in every experience. This was not the case with this establishment. I spent $ 180 for 2 pedicures and 2 manicures. It was a fun outing with my family as we were visiting from out of town. My gel manicure did not even last 3 days!!! I have had them last 4 – 6 weeks from my place at home! My aunts polish came off in the parking lot as we were leaving, however the experience was so bad she didn’t even want to go in to have it fixed. They have extremely inexperienced people working there and I personally felt a few did not have their license to practice cosmetology or anything to do in a salon. Please take my advice and choose somewhere different, you will regret this place before You ever leave.

I LOVE this place! I have always been the one to hop from nail salon to nail salon but not anymore. La Vie is amazing and the owner makes me feel at home and special.
I was in for a pedicure and manicure and saw the lady below (Melissa D) come in on said Sunday. She already had the scar on her eyebrow. I find it very disturbing that someone would be so dishonest and down right mean to such nice people.
Please try La Vie, I promise you will be hooked like me.

The best nail salon in Greenville! Everyone is so friendly and the service is great! Relaxing environment. I have tried many nail salons and this is my favorite!

Originally came for a gel manicure, but changed my mind and wanted to get acrylics instead. The guy that was working on my gel told a different guy and he had me move stations to get started on the acrylic. I still liked the color of gel that I had chosen and asked if he thought it would be too thick doing that over acrylic. He looked at the color and said yes it might be better to do dipping powder. So I asked to look at the colors to see if they had one similar to the gel color I had chosen. He suggested one of the colors and I went with that one. As he started to do my nails, I noticed that he pulled out a brush and what looked like acrylic liquid and then proceeded to do my nails in the traditional acrylic way. I was thinking hmm that’s weird maybe they just do it differently here or maybe I had ended up choosing an acrylic color by mistake. So I just went with it.
A lady came over to put something away near my station and said to the guy doing my nails (in vietnamese) that she thought I was doing dip powder. To which the guy responded (also in vietnamese) that I hadn’t gotten nexgen nails before and don’t know the difference between the two so it’s ok. I was astonished that he would even say that in front of me, knowing full well that I could very well BE vietnamese and could understand what they were saying. I don’t know enough vietnamese to make a witty remark back, so I just sat there in silence to see what else they would say in front of me. Luckily that was the extent of the conversation.
I also asked for rounded square nails, but he made them just straight up square. I had to go home and refile them. He then added a gel top coat to my nails, which I think was how he was trying to compensate for the difference in price between the acrylic price and the dip powder price because in the end he did charge me for the nexgen price.
I’ve never had a salon try to pull something like that on me before. Most salons are smart enough to know that I look Vietnamese and thus might understand it, so they don’t every try to do something like that. Because of this AND because of the fact that my nails didn’t even turn out that great… I don’t think I will be coming back. One star for the décor. And because they don’t let you give zero stars.

I love this place!!! I usually don’t stay at the same salon for very long because I am hard to satisfy. I have been going to this salon for the last 4 months and have never left unhappy. They have a clean modern décor and they serve the best bloody Mary’s I have ever had.
I always ask for Henry because he knows just how I like my nexgen put on my natural nails. He puts it on nice and thin and you can hardly tell that it is not my own nails.
I have had Lavie, Cindi, and Michelle do my pedicures and they have always done a great job. They are very nice and have known me by name from the first visit. They always make you feel as though you are one of their friends.
The prices are comparable to other salons but the service, cleanliness, freindlyness and the drinks make it seem a lot cheaper. lol

Visited this place tonight for the first time and my experience was good, but it did have a few downfalls.
First and foremost, décor is beautiful, they have a wide range of colors to chose from, a bar, and not to mention the staff is super kind and helpful. The place itself is also very relaxing, doesn’t smell of acetone, and a quiet environment.
However, it was a little over priced. I paid $ 64 dollars for a basic pedicure & gel manicure. After the tip, $ 75. The pedicure was not anything special at all. My nails look good, but I feel like she should have applied more than one coat of the color, at least when I have gotten gel manicures at other places they usually apply the color 3 times. I felt over charged for toes and nails that are just «okay.»
If it weren’t for that, I would come back, but I’m not someone that just spends money for the atmosphere, I need my nails to look immaculate for that amount of money.

The atmosphere is great and very modern! They do such a great job and make sure you’re comfortable. Also make sure you like the finished product! I will definitely coming back!!!

It is unlikely that I will be back to this salon. Let me first say that I no longer live in the area, so I have been unable to go back and give the manager the opportunity to make these things right… but…
I had a very inexperienced pedicurist who left me with very deep wounds along the nail of my big toe on one foot. She called in a more experienced technician for the other foot, so the wounds on that toe were less severe (and yes, the nails were a little ingrown). Nothing other than alcohol was used to disinfect/​clean the wounds. Next, my manicure… I asked for «American white» (or studio, or natural… I never know what different places call it, but I wanted a natural looking manicure, not French white). I got French white. And finally, I am unhappy with the lack of longevity of the manicure and the fiber caught in the finish as well as the «bubble» appearance of my nails. Just was not a good experience for me. If I visit the area again, I will make my appointment at Azura.

Went to La Vie for the first time today and had a wonderful experience. I wore acrylic nails for 2 – 3 years about 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve had natural nails. Regular manicures weren’t really for me since the polish only looked good for a couple of days. I had decided I wanted to try gel nails after so many of my friends and family had begun using them. After talking with Cindy about my options, I decided on «dipping powder» instead. It seems to be a hybrid between gel and the old-​style acrylic but without so many chemicals and without any sort of light… yet fully dry within 5 minutes. One of my favorite things about the older acrylics was that my cuticles always looks wonderful. I think the dipping powder process will result in the same. Makes me very happy.
While there, Michelle took care of my pedi. She also did an excellent job with the perfect massage, hot stones, hot towel, and more. Such a treat.
Both Cindy and Michelle were delightful and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to request either of them again.

Love this place ! They are friendly and really do a good job :)

This place is totally awesome, very relaxing get your pedicure, manicure, and eyebrows waxed all while enjoying your favorite cocktail. It’s worth treating yourself. Ask for Michelle. Does a great job.
