Reviews of La Vie Nail Spa Boise (Spa)

Candice Carlile

This has been the only place I can find dipping powder for nails since moving to Boise! And they did a fantastic job!

Alexis Murphy

Linda is amazing. They are kind here and want to make you happy. Thank you your beautiful work and amazing massage! !

Heather Schlag

Relaxing, clean atmosphere. Employees are amazing. My gel pedicures last weeks without chipping! Happy to have a quality nail salon in the area.

Natalie

Very disappointed. I am a hairdresser so I expect the same quality that I would give. I have been twice now. First to get a full set of acrylic nails. The girl glued two on crooked. I pointed it out she did nothing. She cut my finger repeatedly and the nails are atrociously thick and lumpy. She accidentally flicked her nail buffer on the floor, I picked it up for her and she continued to use it. This is against State Rules and Regulations! My 2nd experience was getting a pedicure with my daughter. Thankfully hers was done well. Mine however, the girl spent the entire time talking with her hands to the gal next to her. She scrubbed my right foot and did two swipes with my left foot. She barely rubbed my feet or legs what so ever and she kept forgetting where she was at in the process. Women work really hard and when they get to go do something like this it's a treat. I can do this work myself but my husband gave this to me as a gift.

Carolyn Haney

My experience with them was wonderful. I bought a gift certificate for a friend because I was so happy. HOWEVER, her experience was a nightmare. When she walked in, a woman came up to her and said no time, we can't help you. Without asking her anything. She was very aggressive and was yelling. My friend kept trying to tell her she had an appt. but the woman was still rude. Then my friend was taken to sit in the chair to prepare for a pedicure. She sat in the chair without anyone helping her for 30+ minutes. When the water got cold, she had to ask if someone would warm up the water. Nicky was the person who did her pedicure. She apologized for the woman who was rude to my friend when she first came in and said there have been other complaints about that employee. She then cut my friends nails so short that they looked like she chewed them. My friend was shocked. When she brought it up to the employee, she told her it is a good thing winter is just about here. My friend said she had a big event she was going to the next day and her outfit was set up with sandals that she now could not wear. The pedicure went very fast and the employee said because of everything she went through she would do a hot rock treatment. Making it seem that she was doing that as an extra way of making up for what my friend went through until my friend pointed out that I mentioned that was part of regular treatment as well as others around her getting the same treatment .When my friend wanted her nails done Nicky said if she wanted acrylics the mean woman who yelled at her would be doing it. She told her she could do a dip for her because she knew how to do that. During the dip another customer came in and complained about getting a dip the week before and talked about how bad it was. This all happened yesteday and this morning my friends nail already broke right before this big event. It broke as she was sleeping. I spoke to the manager Dave, who was very apologetic and thoughtful. He assured me he would talk to those that worked on my friend. He also offered to redo the pedicure for my friend. However, my friend was almost in tears when she left and will not ever go back. As thoughtful as he was and genuine, I was concerned when he said that when he is not there, they employees tend to do what they want and may not act the same way they would if he is there. I am really disappointed with this place. I originally had such high hopes. I don't recommend anyone go there. The manager truly showed concern, but the other employees there made it a place my friend and myself will never go back to.

Adjo Amoussou

They are very nice and professional I am going back with my friends.

Elizabeth Watkins

LOVE LOVE LOVE that I found La Vie Nails because I found Dominique!!!! She’s absolutely amazing and made my nails for my bridal shower PERFECT!!! She is great and makes you feel like your one of the girls. Thank you sooo much! Coming back here and only to her!

Rachel Beitzel

I never leave reviews but this place gave me a toe infection so I'm really upset about it. The polish looks nice and they were extremely attentive but the guy dug his sharp tool under my toe nail and when I started pulling away from the pain he said "it's ok its ok" and KEPT DOING IT! My toe started bleeding and he tried to hide it with his hand as if I couldn't feel it! Anyways, I won't ever come back to this spa for any kind of service. I have to soak my toe in peroxide and put oil of oregano on it now to get rid of the infection. I will post pictures of it if I can figure out how just so nobody says I'm a liar. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Update 04/17/2018: spoke with Dave and everything was sorted out. He was very helpful and apologetic and made me feel better about the situation. I changed my star rating from 1☆ to 3☆ for being so helpful. Again, they didn't do a bad job on the pedicure. Just the cut. Gave me a refund for the service which is very good business ethics considering I got the service done last week. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Shelbie Atwood

Very impressed with the service here! Quick, beautiful work. I will be recommending this place to everyone!!

Katie Ranger

Dominique did my pedicure today. I LOVE them. she was very friendly and had excellent customer service. ❤ my favorite nail salon in the treasure valley.

Wanda Previty

Today was my first time at La Vie for a manicure. What a difference between this place and last! The woman in the previous nails salon was snotty and thought she was a princess, besides, she was not very good. Kay, the woman who did my manicure today, was very gracious and kind. The whole atmosphere was professional and inviting. I will certainly go back to La Vie, bravi!

Patti Reilly

Very nice salon and my nails turned out great!

Cheryl Ziemer

My second time in and both times I had excellent service. It's a very nice atmosphere and Yen and Dave both do a great job. Dave did my pedicure both times and Yen did my manicures. I really like the whole family. The salon is very clean and they have some great ideas in the works!

Robin Podwojski

Rude and unprofessional, will not return..

Rosanne Marshall

Beautiful salon with really friendly and helpful people. Got a great mani pedi and had a fabulous experience. I really wish I lived in Boise so I could make it my regular spot. I would recommend it to anyone!!

Lisa Buseth

The best experience ever. Everyone is nice and it's super clean. I will be back and will tell all my friends. Oh....and my toes look amazing!!

Julie Kingsbury

Love this place! They didn't rush my pedicure and they didn't skip around either like other places. the lady that did my pedicure did a great job. I love that she used her time cleaning my feet step by step no skipping and actually massage my feet/legs. I think I finally found my place to go everytime now.

Loralie Walker

Always top notch!

Alanna R

Very nice manicure just before my birthday! Very nice and friendly :)

Thom George

Excellent work, nice atmosphere

SARAH smith

Every time I go here it is AMAZING! Always flawless work. After I started coming here I never went anywhere else. Their customer service is amazing and their work speaks for itself. If you want a great set of nails this is the place for you!

Kayla Kirby

Best nails ever! They really take there time and make then perfect! Not to mention the pedicures! Hot rock massage the sugar scrub! Just fabulous!

jiahang li

One of my toe nails didn’t get paint lol I didn’t even notice that until I got home. And the color is a bit fading or changing. It has some spots degraded from purple to pink ish

Sarah Poe

This place is often busy and the atmosphere is relaxed. A lot of people walk in and are irritated they can’t get an appointment on the spot. I find that so disrespectful. Call ahead and make an appointment. They are incredibly kind and my nails look better than ever. My daughter is 8 and often goes along. They have a special pedicure chair for kids and the prices are great. Such wonderful people, quick service. Highly recommend.

Vance Barowsky

Clean, neat, fun,friendly and knowledgeable! Great place to be!

Carissa Gregory

I love coming to La Vie! They have great customer service! When I arrive for an appointment there is little to no wait time and everyone is very friendly. I always see Dominique and recommend her to my friends. She is such a sweetheart and does an amazing job!

Chloe Reid

Great service ! It was my first time here, but I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was seated immediately. The employees are very attentive, one of them asked if I needed something to drink during my visit, and the lady who did my nails was very focused with her work and finished my nails in under 45 mins with no mistakes. Definitely will be coming here again !

Cyndi Ochner

When I scheduled my appointment over the phone, the lady was professional and polite. They figured out what I wanted, then set me up with the right tech. Kay did a great job on my ombre (dip) nails. Been looking for someone in Boise for a few months. I think I finally found my spot!

Kayla lindquist

AMAZING!! Same day get in, TWO appointments same time. Showed my picture of what i wanted and they went above and beyond my expectations!! I love them!

Kimberly Owen

Great people very clean and great service!!!

alex

Best nail salon I have been to! My nail tech was super attentive to detail and took her time. I never felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience. Great prices and great service. Won't go anywhere else! Thank you for my beautiful nails!

Kassie McCool

I loved this salon when they first opened but as they’ve become more popular, they haven’t been able to appropriately manage their appointments. When customers make appointments they shouldn’t have to wait due to walk-ins. Also, you should know the number of services you can handle per hour so you don’t over book. They do pretty good work but sometimes rush through your service because they’ve over booked. Super nice workers though.

Michelle Livingston Sneed

Super nice staff, lovely clean space. My 3 year old really enjoyed her first Mani/pedi - they even have a mini-sized chair! So much fun ❤️

Tina Dunnigan

I called them to see if they could get me in after having a horrible set of nails done the week prior. They said come right in... I got there and the store is clean and well put together. They got me right in and solved my problem in record time! I'm so happy with my new mani and will never go anywhere else! Very kind, clean and easy location.

Jenny Austin

I needed to get my toenails trimmed at a new place and chose La Vie Nail Spa. I was afraid to go to such a fancy place to get my nails trimmed. They made me feel right at home and did a fantastic job. Very pleasant experience. Happy to recommend them to all my friends. This is a first review for me, but since I chose them from reading reviews, chose to do this on my own.

Laverne Rembowski

Wonderful clean salon with expert hairdresser's . I will continue to come here for sure. Large Manicure and Pedicure area as well.

Lindsey

La Vie is one of the cleanest and most pleasant nail places I've been to. I don't have my nails done here, but my wife does and she loves it. They are very accommodating and even fixed a nail after they were closed, since my wife was flying somewhere the next day.

Melanie Jones

First time in and went based on reviews. I made an appointment and it was very crowded. Seated late due to walk-ins. Got the basic pedicure. Had a generally inattentive staff member. Got up a few times awkwardly to situate something else going on in the salon. Was pretty sure the family was talking about a customer in their native language. Was getting a bit obvious and uncomfortable. Wish I had Google translate on. I have some nail shapes round, some square. Inconsistent attention to customers ... Some get water, some don't. Overall was not salon like experience at all. Pay a little more (and not much more) and go to Panche if seeking salon experience. Will not be back. Bummed out.

cindi smith

everyone that works here was nice they were shorthanded the day we were in there my mother my sister and I and they managed it all with smiles and great service

Maddy Pittz

They did a good job on my nails, but overcharged me and then refused to give my money back. They charged me for two pedicures when they had already charged my sister for her own, but they realized their mistake and gave me a gift certificate to make up for it. Okay, no big deal. However, when I went back to use the gift certificate THEY gave me, they refused to allow me to use it, took the certificate from me and threw it away, then made me pay again for a service I already paid for. Honestly, it was good work, but you can get the same work for a better price elsewhere.

Cherie Jordan

I called to see if they had availability and what the cost was for a gel color change. They quoted me $25. While she was trimming my cuticles she accidentally cut too deep and made my thumb bleed. I was startled but ok. We worked to stop the bleeding and I told her it was ok and that I've survived worse lol. At the register she charged me $30! I think it was because she was afraid i wouldn't tip after she cut me. I had no fancy designs our anything unusual. They don't have their prices posted anywhere so it makes me wonder how often they quote one thing and charge another. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Keisha Asay

Best pedicure I've had in a very long time! We had such a great experience! Wonderful service and atmosphere!

Carroll Crowell

Excellent Nail Service, includes hair salon

Tresca Mason

My friends and I made a girls day trip to Boise. This was the best pedicure any of us had. It was affordable and they did such a good job.

Carman Freiburger

Stopped in here first thing on a Saturday morning. They welcomed me in and made me feel right at home. My nails looked amazing and the shellac lasted almost 3 weeks! Thank you!!!!

Paula Fox

Went to them for over a year. Always 'tried' to make an appointment. The last 3 out of 5 times I kept getting bumped and either had to wait 45 minutes or told to come back another day. I make appointments as I really like a particular nail tech so no, the point to the appointment is not to have to wait an excessive amount of time or told you have to come back another day. Extremely inefficient.

Shana Sklar

Dominique at La Vie is absolutely wonderful! She takes great pride in her work and the care of your nails. She is creative, and loves to work together to make sure you're happy. She recently just got went out of her way to get me in and fix a chip in one of my nails, she is fantastic!

Tommy Lobdell

For spa: La Vie Salon. My wife has been here a couple times and loves it. They are so professional. Everything is really clean and sanitary. The massage chairs are awesome too. They don’t nickel and dime you with up charges either so it’s a great experience overall.

Hannah Jones

Wonderful! Best pedicure in town--dip nails were fantastic! Will definitely be going back :)

M. Reno

I had an appointment May 28 at 1pm . I waited until 15 minutes after my appointment time to be seated at a station. It was another 20 minutes before a technician arrived. She started to clean one nail and realized she forgot a client at a pedicure station. She left without saying anything to me and proceeded to give a pedicure to someone else. I waited another 20 minutes before she returned to me. The work stations and tools were filthy. I don't want someone else's nail and cuticle dust on or under my own nails. They overbooked and didn't have enough technicians to keep up with appointments. The majority of the employees were speaking in a foreign language to each other about clients, which is completely unprofessional and very disrespectful. When the technician finally started, she did do a quality job. I will not go back due to the level of disrespect shown for clients and how filthy the stations and tools were.

Thom Ives

I think this is the best nail place in the treasure valley

Kelley Martin

We love the staff at La Vie...And we always walk out w stunning toes!! Thank you Guys!

Amber Porter

Nikki is so awesome and this spa is so relaxing and very clean

Crystal Johnson

By far the best nail spot in boise. Very clean. Pleasant atmosphere. Genuine people. I forgot to see what the greeters name was but the hospitality was great. My husband treated me with a pedicure for my birthday, Tim and Laura did wonderful. My husband got a deluxe pedicure (his second pedicure ever) I got a regular with color. Most technicians are rough when they do cuticle cuts and cut too deep but I felt no discomfort and neither did he. Will be going back and will definitely recommend to friends.

Aneshia M

Best place over ever been too ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nick G

Fantastic Spa, first I have ever have pedicure and they really did a good job. Definitely recommend

Anne Salter

I am forever spoiled now. The pedicure was amazing! Hot stone massage.

Jaeda Garcia

Very kind of them to take my friend and I in an hour before close, that’s great service. However, the quality of the work isn’t the best. I was charged an extra $10 for a full set because of the length. I’ve had 3 nails pop off no problem not even a week after getting them done. This isn’t worth $50... I will not be going back.

Mandy Narvaiz

I've had a better experience here than most nail salons. Looking forward to my refill!

Yvette Anderson

Love this place they do such an awesome job on my nails!

Alexa Jacobs

My two friends and I went in for pedicures and honestly had the worst experience. The minute we walked in we were met with a frustrated woman who seemed incredibly annoyed that we were there, even though we had called ahead to book the appt. We were quickly shuffled to our chairs and my technician didn’t smile or even say hello to me. At one point during the pedicure she lifted my foot, looked at my heals, and made a disgusted face and said ‘this bad’ because my heals had some calluses on them. I am not one to leave a review like this but I am a hairstylist and work with the public, this behavior is so beyond disrespectful, I would never ever treat a client this way. I would not recommend going here.

Brittany Kent

I have been here twice in the past two months with my mother. The first time they were very busy and the service was very lack luster... the people were even a bit rude at times... But I am a firm believer in second chances! So, we went back this past Friday and I was disappointed again. My first red flag should've been the phone call: The person was very rude to me when I was making the appointment. The lady I had for both my manicure and pedicure was just very standoffish and rude at times. My biggest peeve is when a pedicurist or manicurist grabs and pulls my feet/hands forcefully and get annoyed when I can't read their minds and just know what they want. A simple "Hey girl can I get your right foot closer to me" would be better than having my foot pulled. As far as quality goes: they are decent. The quality is nothing I would write home about. I will probably not be giving them a third chance to win me over.

Taylor Wong

Best new salon ever! Very clean and so nice! Best pedicure I have ever gotten I will never go anywhere else!:)

Karen Corder

Great pedicures, very relaxing

Piper Andrisek

I made an appt for two gel manicures for my daughter and I. This was our first visit, and I was looking forward to trying a new place after hearing good things from a couple of my friends. We were rushed through the service in 20 minutes and my jaw about hit the floor when they told me it was $65! We didn’t do anything elaborate, just gel polish. The salon itself was dirty and I didn’t appreciate being rushed through at that price.

Lisa Mckee

Tim is the best! Nails look great and very affordable.

Nicole Stephenson

Lavon was super! So sweet! She did a fabulous pedicure for me! I've been to the salon before, later in the day when it was very busy, but my new favorite time to come is first thing in the morning. It's a little slower and feels much more relaxing! My personal tidbit! Thanks Lavone!!

Lexie Hutcherson

Went in a few days ago for acrylics would not go again. I never get my nails done but decided I would for a change. The lady didn't file my nails or push back my cuticles. I did french tips, they didn't remove all the leftover polish on my nails and I can still see the white of my natural nails. The acrylics themselves are bumpy and have a ton of bubbles in them. Beyond all that the gal helping an older lady next to me rushed her into a color she really didn't want and told her when she suggested a new one "no you go with this color, this color pretty." I think the staffs lack of patience is what irritated me the most!

Jenee Singletary

Super friendly and efficient.

Hannah Endyke

Was very unsatisfied with the work that was done on my nails. I made an appointment and when I came in for my appointment, I was made to wait for 20 minutes. Then, when I got my nails done, the shape was horrible, one nail was extremely crooked, and the service seemed quite rushed. When I told my technician the color I picked out looked very different on my nails then it did on the swatch, and that I didn’t really care for it, she made me feel bad for not liking it and I felt pressured to keep it so I did. Everyone who saw my nails afterwords said they looked horrible.

Amanda Snoeyholladay

Clean and friendly atmosphere. Comfortable chairs and the staff is amazing! Price was reasonable for the service I received. I strongly recommend this establishment.

Briana Elison

My mother and I went in to La Vie Nail Spa to have a pedicure. Our experience was great! The staff was so nice and funny. My mother and I left there laughing and very relaxed. I love the hot rocks they used during the message part of the pedicure. I would highly recommend this salon.

Cortnee Hyde

Laura is absolutely amazing! She listens to everything I ask for and I leave every time completely happy❤️

Lily Boudreau

Laura “nailed” it. She got my nails absolutely perfect. Everyone was super friendly. Laura even sang a little bit. Will definitely go again

Daniele Evans

Really got what I wanted and treated great with smiles... Thank you

Merilee Lewis

We had a great experience and our nails looked great! The manager was very friendly to us and interacted with all the customers. Our technician was thorough took her time.

Hau Tran

This is by far the nicest nail spa in Boise. Customer service is very good. I will definitely come back.

Brittany Ford

I came into the salon just before 11am as a walk-in. Tim greeted me immediately and seated me immediately after we figured out what I wanted. I showed him a photo of my idea and he executed it perfectly. He was so friendly and nice. I will definitley be coming back to this salon. I have been to a few other salons in boise and this one just blew them out of the water! I just got an acrylic set but I think I will get a pedicure next time as well because their establishment looks so nice. Everyone seemed happy and talkative. I definitely reccommend this salon to any and all people! The pricing was also great for what I wanted!

Effi Brandenburg

Very friendly and helpful. Anxious to not make you wait. Good work.

Shay Marshall

Super nice and do great nails! Made sure I liked everything and was happy at the end. Highly recommend

shawna kugler

Fabulous facility and fabulous service! Toes and fingers are all ready for Christmas day now!

Shelly G

My experience at La Vie was simply decent. I went in for dip powder manicure (only few salons in Boise with dip powder) and a pedi. When I walked in I was greeted very graciously by the host and appointment setter. He made me feel really welcomed! The lady that did my pedicure was extremely sweet and gentle. She painted my toes beautifully. The Young lady that completed my manicure needs a little more practice, in my opinion. The nail tech advised me to get tips because my finger nails were too short. In hindsight, my nails were not. However, I took her advice and got the tips. Initially I thought she'd done a great good. The finish on the nail was really pretty, but some of the tips were crooked and seemed to lack professionalism. Although, the dip powder lasted for well over 3 weeks, which I was very grateful for, my real nails are suffering they are brittle and cracking and plain old weak. I would advise anyone to make sure the work is done properly.

Lindsey Kelly

Yesterday I went in for a gel pedicure, and instead of using the dremel to remove my old gel, the woman peeled it off with cuticle clippers...and as a result, also peeled away layers of my nail! That’s a big no-no in the nail industry. I won’t be returning and I'll be sure to let my friends and family know about my experience.

Taylor Benson

I had an appointment, but they ended up having a scheduling error and things just busy quick. Even though my wait was a bit longer, the manager went above and beyond to get my manicure/pedicure done and it looks nice. I like how they ensure if you have any problems to come back and they will fix it immediately. The staff is kind and they all work hard. The establishment is very clean as well.

Erin Funk

******UPDATE******** I came back to get a crack fixed and they were apologetic for the misunderstanding and eager to make it right. They credited me back the money, even though it wasn't necessary, and didn't charge for the fix. Very pleased and can confidently say that I've FINALLY found a nail salon I can be loyal to! Thank you Danny, Nancy and everyone else and La Vie Spa I called and asked how much for a gel mani and pedi and was told $30 for each but I ended up paying $75 when I was done. I did basic pedi and dip on my nails which I was told was $5 more, totally fine, just don't know where that extra $10 snuck in. Pretty annoyed at that. But service was good and I like the end product.

Barb Eis

Made an appointment for my girls for their first visit here and they were 25 minutes late seeing them. Had to go in circles in the parking lot due to no parking. Not even an hour later the girls both lost a chunk of nail polish in their big toes. Pretty sure they put it on way to thick and or it was old nail polish. Paid $60 plus tip.

Ciera Steele

Was my first time going, went with a friend. She got a fill and I got a full set.. she ripped the old acrylics off without soaking them or anything, was very uncomfortable. She rushed through them and I still got done before my friend that got a fill. Didnt make conversation and was very unhappy with the service... Will not be going back.

Rebecca Perron

Best pedicure I've had in a long time. He took his time and even did a hot stone message. I will be definitely going back.

julia Hopkins maxwell

Poorly run business. Rude to customers. Appointments mean nothing. Very u happy customer.

hannah thompson

they did a really good job. I had a full set of acrylics done with a design and she did everything great. she was kind and the atmosphere was good. Highly recommend

Daisy Wolfe

I love going here! They are always so kind and will bend over backwards to get you in the schedule at your convienienve. It's so close to home! I don't know if I'll ever go anywhere else! Great place, highly recommend.

Heather Grant

They are wonderful!

Michelle Creech

Best pedicure I've ever had! The massage was perfect, she did a wonderful job from start to finish. Our feet are beautiful and super soft, thx ladies!

stephanie torres

Lavonne was awesome! I showed her a picture and told her I wanted an ombré look then she chose the light gold coating as the finishing touch. She took her time and really made sure they were even and perfect. I loved my nails!

Marlee Hamilton

I loved all the workers, they are the nicest people ever! I had the best nail job ever and it was so relaxing!! This is the best nail place in Boise, recommend this to anyone.

Kayla Herrera

We showed up for our "appointment" at 11:30 and had to wait around for a half hour to have a spot available for us. The pedicure lasted 35 minutes and was very lackadaisically done. It was just a very under average experience that definitely did not meet personal standards; of which are apparently extremely high compared to most people when it comes to this type of a service. Definitely did not live up to the great reviews, unfortunately. I can, however, say the place was clean and the people were friendly. If you're looking for a less than average pedicure but friendly people, this is your place. But I would not by any means say this is the "best place in Boise"

Aaliyah Sanchez

I went in maybe a little over a week ago to get a full set off acrylics done. The actual in salon experience wasnt great. It felt very rushed and the lady that helped me was less than enthused with my request ( just a set of acrylics in purple and black ). She barely filed my nails and didn't push my cuticles back. About 3 days ago my nails started lifting already, when I tell people they've only been done a week they say they look like they're a month old. I called yesterday and spoke with someone who said they cant help me. Dont think I'll be going back anytime soon.

Erica Davis

Quality & attention to detail. Can be very busy & smells really strong (polish & chemicals) so not as relaxing as other options

Tia W

Came here while I was visiting from out of town and we wanted to find a place for a pedicure. Got the basic pedicure not expecting anything extraordinary. The massage lasted a very long time for a basic pedi and they even used hot stones. It was such a relaxing experience after a hectic weekend. Salon is very clean and beautifully decorated and good ventilation. Doesn’t smell like some nail salons do where I get a headache. Very happy with my experience.

Gina Adams

Best pedicure I've ever had and my nails turned out beautiful as well. Clean, professional, and the atmosphere was great! Will definitely be going back.

Brian & Cassie Walters

Leaving a review may result in longer wait times for me...but it would be unfair not to give this place the compliment they deserve. Welcoming, genuinely expressed gratitude for my business, prompt, very clean and tasteful. It was by far the best pedicure I have ever received. Yen was kind, thorough, attentive, took her time and was not distracted. I felt important and taken care of. Truly a treat for a mom taking a little break. I will never go anywhere else now!

Christina Babbel

I just received a beautiful dip manicure by Nikki and I am so happy with the color and quality of the dip.

Lene ODell

Great place, got in quick with my mom. Friendly and efficient staff, we'll be coming back.

Alisa Sergeyeva

Kay at LaVie Nail Spa does my nails all the time. She is incredibly talented. She always follows the picture I bring and get it right every time. Kay is very professional and sweet lady. I will highly recommend this place to everyone who wants a good service, clean and professional environment and very good nail technicians.

rachel watrdh

I have been to several nail salons around the treasure valley, most fall short.. La Vie always does a great job!!! My husband just enjoyed a pedicure, his first in Boise. Since, they didn't paint his toes they massaged his feet and legs for an extended time which was awesome!!! Keep up the great services and your hospitality..

Melissa Weick

Have been coming here for almost 3 years. Great work and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Joshua Jolley

Family took me for my first pedicures. It was amazing!

Carey Harris

Nancy does my mani/pedi every time and it’s always fantastic!!

Tiffany Merritt

They do a good job, but they are priced higher than average and charge extra to use a credit card. Appts

Taylor Boodooram

I will not be going back. Service is terrible. Sat there for 40mins for them to tell me someone else would do my nails after I booked with a specific technician. I’ve been here 1 time before and was absolutely not satisfied with my manicure and pedicure. Would not recommend this salon. Prices are also not reasonable for the quality of service.

Mindya Biznass

I had a wonderful pedicure here!! They do not rush your service. They took time on the massage, and let me relax in the chair while my toe nails dried, instead of rushing me off to get the next person in. I loved that they use a pedicure bowl liner, and do NOT use the foot rasps for calluses that are illegal in the state of Idaho!!! The only complain would be that even though we had an appointment, we had about a 20 minute wait, and they seemed a bit confused as to what services we were there for and who was getting what. Seemed a little over whelmed or confused with a few customers in there.

Izzy Bizzy

I've been going to this salon for over a year now; generally, I have a pretty good experience with them (hence why I keep going back). However, I try to make an appointment at least a day in advance, because they can get pretty booked. I dislike how booked they can get, because they accept walk-ins to a certain point (then they tell you to come back in an hour or something), and I end up waiting 20 minutes for my appointment. However, what is important to me, and keeps me coming back is the cleanliness, location, and services offered. They put plastic nettings that are thrown away after every use around the pedicure tubs (P.U., thank you!), and they bleach the tub anyways straight after they use it! I haven't noticed as much cleanliness on the fingernails portion of the spa, but at least for the pedicures, things are extremely clean. Next, the location. It is literally right on the edge of Overland and Cloverdale. The parking lot is small, but you can't beat their location. It's also posh inside, which helps the spa feel more luxurious. (; Included in their gel polish pedicure is always a massage, with hot towels and stones, and they clean your feet with a scrubber after they finish the pedicure! They also put bath salts in the pedicure tub, and usually there is a TV with music videos you can watch while they work! It's a great experience, and for the gel pedi, it's been running around $45, which is mostly equivalent to the other nail places around town.

I have always had a good experience at La Vie! Dominique is open to all of my crazy design requests and does an awesome job. She always makes me feel at home when I’m there. I also appreciate all of the staff that have gotten me in on short notice when I break a nail or need a quick nail fix. I recommend this place to everyone!

Zoe Mandels

Woah. Talk about attitude. I have never encountered such demeaning service. Thank you for snapping at us immediately when we walked in. Front desk girl needs to check her attitude.

I had to short notice change our reservation because my husband and I were running late. When i called Mindy was more than understanding and courteous. She greeted us when we got there and made sure we had a great first impression. Nikki did my Deluxe Pedi and she was great. Wonderful personality, and a delight. Our overall experience was outstanding. Thank you!

Jacklyn Donahue

This place is spectacular. The finger and toe nails I got were complex, and done with great skill and steady hands. I changed my mind twice and they were very accommodating.

Lori Gabiger

I just had my first visit at La Vie nails and am VERY satisfied with my experience. Nikki did my pedi and Nancy did my gel mani. All the staff were friendly and attentive to every customer that walked through the door. Excellent customer service. Nancy did EXACTLY what I wanted. She didn't rush me and asked if it was correct. I am defintley becoming a regular.

Lilly Ly

Snow was the tech who did my nails recently and she did a fantastic job! Showed her a picture of what design I wanted and she nailed it!!! Best nail salon by far!

R. E

Dominique was the absolute best!!! So sweet and personal. She gave the best foot massage and my toes look so cute!!

Lavaun Jauregui

The staff is amazing! Manis and pedis are the best... And they don't ever pressure you to upsell on any of the services!

Kim Holt

Very nice place but the reason I give it 3 stars is because I asked him to keep them thin and squared off and in the end after reminding him 5 times some of my nails are too think still and one pinky is rounded. Other than that super nice they just need to listen to what the customer wants not assume.

Cassandra Ericksen

The staff was friendly. My mom, cousin, and I all got pedicures. My mom and cousin were offered jewels on their big toes, while I wasn't even though we all got the same design. Also, the polish began to chip and wear-off the next day. Definitely disappointed.

Janet Clague

Great new salon. Everyone is welcoming, the salon is bright and clean, and they take their time. Love the hot rock massage and thorough service.

Grace Saathoff

Getting a pedicure here could cure a lot of things: boring toenails, achy feet, and sadness.

Malissa Lott

Professional the whole time and took great care of me. I will definitely be returning!

Natausha Adams

Dominique did an amazing job on my mani pedi! She was super sweet and very kind. I highly recommend her! She took her time and made sure I was happy with the results.

Corinne Stanton

Worst experience ever. Started when I showed up early and was met at the door with frustration that I was there and told there wasn't any time for me. I said I had an appointment, they looked it up and told me to come back. I really should have gone with my gut at this point and not come back, but with all the great reviews I wanted to know what the fuss was about. I come back at my time only to stand there, 2' away while 2 of them seem to argue about a gift certificate. No kidding, I stood there for 5 minutes before I was greeted with a chilly "appointment?" and "go pick your color". Everything inside me said run and yet I stayed. Pedicure time. I pull out the stopwatch on my phone since I already know where this is all going. I stood waiting to be told which of the empty chairs was mine for 2 minutes. I sat iin the chair for 4 minutes before they turned the water on. Sat with the water flowing just waiting for it to overflow and the gal next to me reaches over at the last minute to save the day. And then I waited. Another 9 minutes. All in all my pedicure started at 22 after the hour and was done at 45 after and then sat for another 10 minutes. I decided maybe if I just got up to leave, someone would want money. 100% correct on that. If you value your money, there are so many better places in the Treasure Valley for LESS $$ and will value your time better.

Alisa O'Neal

This place is great! Nice atmosphere, clean work area and the pedicure was fantastic. The staff was friendly and did an excellent job. Well worth the money. I've found my new go-to nail place. Definitely plan to be back again.

Kiri Vawdrey

Melissa P

Loved it! They were warm and welcoming and did a beautiful job with our pedicures. There were three of us and we all loved it!

Kahyana Aholelei

My husband and I absolutely LOVED our experience here. On a Saturday, we walked in and waiting less than 5 minutes for our pedis. Everyone was so welcoming, offered us water right away, introduced themselves, and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. I was very pleased with the service! Definitely worth it!!

Dawn Montgomery

Super place and awesome people.
