La Vie Nails & Spa

I frequent this spot regularly. Great technicians, clean salon and friendly service. I typically make an appointment for noon or 5pm service, but it is rarely needed. This salon does a rewards punch card– after several visits you receive a small discount on your service. Located in a strip mall, it’s not the most glamorous set up, but very reasonable pricing and professional techs.

Came in for a gel manicure, there was not one customer so I knew I was going to be taken care of, or so I thought! I felt so rushed because another person walked in with an appointment, granted I didn’t have one, but at least DO NOT RUSH ME AND DO MY NAILS CORRECTLY! At the end of the gel manicure, my nails were bumpy and bubbled, not to mention she cut me a couple times!
When I went to go pay, the rude man insisted I pay him. Excuse me?! He charged my card 6 TIMES! The «manager/​owner» insisted she refunded me, she didn’t! Had to print out my bank statement and go back to this place to show them I was not credited! After this incident my card had a hold because the bank thought it was fraudulent charges! I will not be returning here, thanks but no thanks!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait (I guess that’s a sign). I came here cause its really close to me house and I was hoping to have a better experience than last time but nope. Still the same.
Gel pedi was 33 for a «spa gel pedi» which they give you really short «callus treatment» which didn’t even do anything for me. My callus are still there. The lady who did my nails also did a terrible job on my pedi. The bottom of the nail bed is super uneven and she even cut my pinky toe nail crooked (I didn’t notice until I got home). She also had super long acrylic nails which seems pretty difficult to use when painting other people nails. She couldn’t even grasp my toe firmly when applying the nail polish. And when she wiped it off with the cotton the first time, some of the gel nail polish came off which hardly ever happens unless you don’t paint it on thin enough the first time. She fixed it but my toes still look terrible. What a waste of money
Never coming back.

I usually go to red persimmon but today the wait was too long. I can say that I have now found my new favorite place. The ladies are lovely and do a fabulous job! I really love my nails and can’t wait come back for my pedicure and fill in a few weeks!

Going to get my nails done is the only time I get to relax, so when I feel like I’m being rushed it takes away from the experience. My fullset is not even or smooth at all and was so messy! My pedicure was done so sloppy and I really didn’t feel like i didn’t get the proper treatment for what I paid for and in comparison to other shops I’ve been to. I don’t believe I received proper customer service.
I could have done the same job on myself at home, but I went to get the extra treatment.
I came here because my normal spot was booked. I don’t believe I will return to this location.

I have been going here in La Vie Nails for about years now. I used to go to many different places till I found La Vie. Great costumer service. Their prices are very reasonable too. This place have a very comfortable ambiance and very friendly staff :) My favorite nail place in Diamond Bar area.

If you want great service, awesome nails, and place you can stay loyal with forever, come here. I will not go anywhere else. I have had bachelorette party for my sister here, brought family and friends from out of state and out of town and every time I get asked to take them back for good times, lots of laughs and friendly faces. I drive 25 minutes now just to see my nail gals that I now call my friends. I even went to Vietnam last year and met the owners family, what a treat. If you want to love the people that pamper you, go here. Love this family owned business.

First time here… Kathy did an awesome job on my gel manicure & Cindy did great on my toes.
Came in during lunchtime, didn’t have to wait at all. They took care of me right away.
I will be back

Came here on a Saturday morning. Staff is friendly and they have lovely music playing in the background. Got the gel option and my technician Jessica did a lovely job!

Jenny and staff are amazing. It is a family oriented business and they treat you just like one of their family members. I have been a customer of Jenny for 10+ years and will continue to go to her shop for years to come. Their quality is stellar, I highly recommend La Vive Nails Spa! Once you experience their service you will always go back to them. 5 STARS!!!

they want to make a buck they want to work off tips but you walk in and ask if its clean and they all got to yell at you. Screw that. I do not walk into a business to be yelled at. Steer clear away from this place unless you like rude behavior. BTW. I’ve been here before and never had this treatment.

I came in for a nail fix and was pretty unhappy with the results. I work for a nail shop in Chino Hills so I normally get my nails done there but I was in a rush so I went here because it was close to my house.
I had a weird ass vibe when I first walked in, I got a weird look from all of them like I was from outer space. To prevent them embarrassment and me losing my temper I spoke on Vietnamese so I would have to listen to them possibly talking smack.
The lady who did my nails was chill but I think when I told her I worked for another shop the vibe got weird again. I had a nail that had dried eyeliner on it and she used a buffer to get it off… I have a full set with gel on top why would you buff it? She knows she messed up because she went and did a clear coat of gel over it. I hope her intentions were good but… You do this professionally. I even told you it was just eyeliner.
I don’t know how else to explain why this was a bad experience so check out the pictures. Just because it was a $ 4 dollar job doesn’t mean half ass it, think about the reputation of your business. Skipped a lot of steps and honestly it looks sloppy. I don’t plan on coming back, better off just waiting to get it done at work.

I have been coming to La Vie for about a year or so after I have been getting my nails done in several other places. I came to realize that the nail salon is right down the street from me! I love Eleins work. (Sorry if I miss spelled your name) but she is amazing. I like to get short nails for work and she makes them look so natural and beautiful at the same time. Let’s not forget that this place is classy. Every nail technician is dressed so nice and that’s every time I’ve been there. They are all so talented and sweet. Recommend 100% to anyone

I love this place! The ladies over here are super friendly and professional. It’s my go to nail spot in the area. Special shout out to sue for always making my nails look amazing!!!

Atmosphere: Casual.
Small salon to avoid waiting call ahead of time.
What was done: acrylic fill, nail repair, and pedicure.
I unfortunately was unable to get the name of the tech that helped out with fixing my claws, but she along with Kathy were amazing. I was in and out pretty fast along with a perfect pedicure and fresh set of nails!

Review for Helen’s esthetician services ONLY:
(I am settling for «okay» nails)
The eyelash and facial services are great values. Although it’s cluster sets, they last pretty long and Helen is meticulously cautious if she has to remove some for a fresh set. A full set also lasts over 2 – 3 weeks and they hold up very well as long as you avoid diving or saunas on a regular basis.
I have combination and sensitive skin. Helen’s full facials are great and very reasonably priced. In a bind, I do the mini facial but she tends to the blackheads and she cleans up the brows too.
Be generous with your gratuity to ensure she’s compensated at a fair wage. I try to tip 30% (approximately, if my math is on point). She’s getting popular. You should call ahead for an appointment.

Yeah no.
I came here with my friend and got a mani pedi. I had no problem with the lady who did my toes, but the lady doing my hands was another story.
First of all, she stuck on those nail extension things without asking me if I needed them. I told her that I didn’t want them, because I work and I need to carry heavy things and that I didn’t want to risk breaking anything, and her response? Rude as ever. She quietly muttered that she’ll cut it shorter for me but it still ended up long. She didn’t even wipe off my existing nail polish, and instead just sanded it down. Then she painted on my color and it was streaky and uneven. She kept pointing at it and said how pretty it looked. You ain’t fooling anyone, lady.
Y’all do yourselves a favor and find some place else.

Doesn’t feel like the cleanest nail salon, and the staff isn’t the friendliest. But Sue gets the job done and she’s amazing. For a decent price, she can make your nails perfect. She is fast, and she has an impeccable sense of detail. Ask for SUE and get gels!
Not sure if I would trust a pedicure from them but it seems like people trust it. Do not get regular polish from them, it seems like everyone’s nails chip after a day or so.

This place is not worth it at all. I had to wait over 45 min past my appointment time, which is unacceptable. They should not be taking these appointments if they don’t have the staff and manpower to take on that many people.
After waiting for almost an hour, I had two separate people work on my feet and hands. My pedicure came out fine, and that lady did a great job.
My nail lady, however… She did a complete crap job. First, I should’ve been more suspicious when she poured loads of thinner into the polish bottle. When when she was finishing up the polish and there was a part of one nail that wasn’t painted properly, she proceeded to scold me and say it’s my fault because I banged my hand on the table and nicked the polish. Are you freaking kidding me? My hands were held up the entire time, and wasn’t anywhere near the table. After she does a complete crap job of uneven, streaky and bubbly polish, I go home, only to wake up the next day to peeling, chipped nails, as evident in my attached photo. Unacceptable.
Needless to say, I won’t be back. Some of the staff were rude, they blame the customer for their wrongdoing, and the quality of their manicures are absolute garbage.

Had an appointment for 2 people (both mani/​pedi) at 5:30. We were seated around 5:45, which is fine since they were busy. This was a Wednesday evening. Someone started on my pedicure shortly after I got seated, but my friend waited until 6:15 until someone was available. That is 45 minutes past the appointment time and unacceptable. I don’t have many complaints regarding service except that the lady cut my big toe where the cuticle is. The alcohol she sprayed later only made it worse. When I got home, the pain was worse and the toe was red.
The next day, I noticed that my nails looked like they were about to chip/​peel and it had only been ONE DAY. I am writing this post 2 days after the manicure service and 4 nails are already chipping/​peeling. That makes no sense to me. The polishes looked old and another lady was adding a lot of thinner to my friend’s nail polish bottle.
My friend also did not have a great experience. Her nails are also already peeling and she had to completely remove the polish on one nail.
We were going to leave when we first got there because they seemed busy (even though we had an appointment) and the vibes were just not good. When it comes to your nails, always follow your vibes!
