VIP Nails

This is my go-​to salon. They always do their best to get me in, and Lindsay is easily the best gel mani I’ve ever had (and I’m very picky). Great pedicures too. I highly recommend.

This is the best place in Frederick by far. I have been getting my nails done here for over 5 years by Tweety. Everyone is very friendly and they make sure you are always a satisfied customer.

I can honestly say that I have never been anymore disappointed in my life! I had to download the Unilocal!App just so I can write a review (which I have never done). Ok! So I went in to get a full set. The lady who did my nails (seemed to be the owner or manager) went HAM on the spinning filing machine. She filed my nails so fast and carefree, my nails began to BURN because of the speed and friction! So then when time comes to put the artificial nail on, she cuts my nail SO SHORT there would be absolutely no reason to even get my nails done in the first place. Then, when she applies the acrylic, she applies a THICK coat of it on and left lumps and bumps EVERYWHERE. My nails are completely uneven, she got a ZERO dollar tip because 1. She didn’t give a shit about what I wanted and 2. She was in such a rush that she was actually hurting me. I am so disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. She then had the nerve to ask me «do you like them?» I replied «I like the color.» AND LEFT. I’m getting pissed off all over again just writing this. If I could give this place a «no star» review, I would.

Love going there nice friendly environment always go to see Tweety she is the best they always find time to take me in even if i just walk in

I love this place! I’ve been a regular here since moving to town in November. I can always count on a beautiful long lasting set of gels and a nice relaxing pedicure. I recommend VIP to all of my friends. It doesn’t hurt that everyone at VIP is super friendly either. :)

Stopped in here on a whim after being unhappy with the last shop I went to. I walked in the shop and was unfortunately hit square in the face with the overwhelming odor of cyanoacrylate, and although I know this can be an issue with acrylics, it seemed as if there was zero ventilation in the place. I was greeted immediately, told them I’d like a fill, and was asked to pick a color. They offered gel color (why they do this with acrylics, I’ll never understand; acrylics hold polish just fine), but did not push.
I was seated right away at someone’s station and they began their work. A moment into the service he got a call, and of course I rolled my eyes and thought to myself «oh here we go», since it’s commonplace for places like this to carry on a conversation while doing your service. However, he paused, finished his conversation quickly, and returned to me.
I had some loose acrylic, and as he went to grab his nippers to pull it up, I asked him not to. After a couple of false starts he understood what I was asking and stopped. The service proceeded quickly and efficiently resulting in some of the thinnest and most shapely nails that I’ve ever had. He didn’t carry on conversations with others in the salon, but he didn’t bother to try to have a conversation with me either.
They don’t let you put tips on credit cards so I wasn’t able to tip him but I will definitely be back to see Tommy in the future.

The staff was very friendly, I was greeted by several employees when I walked through the door. I was helped right away, and even got to sit next to the friend I arrived with. The employees were very personable and made conversation with customers easily. I had no complaints about my manicure or pedicure!
Highly recommend going!

Okay so why am I giving this 2 stars? Well, because I went there three times and had different experiences I have got to share.
The first two times I was serviced by a lady named Tea (at least that’s what it sounded like) and she was quite friendly and did a good job for which she got more than a generous tip.
The third time I got another lady (she was younger and didn’t say her name).
This woman was incredible (not in a good way) — get this — so without words she sits me down in front of her and pulls out her cellphone. She did not get water to emerge my hands into for the manicure… she just pulled out her phone and opened up her … FARMVILLE!!! She sat in front of a paying client and collected her VEGGIES on a freaking FARMVILLE!!! I was so shocked I had nothing to say. Hence, out of curiosity I decided to wait and see how long it would take her to even acknowledge my presence and start with a manicure. Fifteen minutes later — FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, she finished with her phone app veggie picking and laid the cellphone down, got water and submerged my hands into it. Not even 30 sec. later (without even letting the skin soak and soften) she pulled them out and proceeded with one of the shi***est manicures I have ever gotten. No cuticle cutting (although I specifically asked for it), no apologies for cutting me, and a sour face when I asked to put alcohol on the cut. I mean WTH? Who gave this woman a license and who hired her? Is she related to the owner or something?
Anyway, ho hi, no bye, no sorry, no thank you. She got her $ 1 tip (for which she should be grateful after such a careless job) and I will never go back to that place, not even to see Ms. Tea that I actually liked and who was nice and did a good job. Btw, I didn’t complain or said a bad word to any of them — but guess what, VIP nails are getting a shi*ty review :(
So thank you nameless shi*ty manicurist girl, you just lost your establishment a client who actually tips (those who do a good job) very-​very well!

I was recommended here by one of my friends, and I was very satisfied. Not only was the manicure great, I had the best eyebrow waxing I have ever gotten! Everyone was very friendly and I didn’t feel uncomfortable as I do in most salons. The design on my nails was exactly what I wanted too.

I went here because the good reviews. I am totally disappointed. My nails chipped the same day — they usually last for 10+ days. Place is not very clean and the waxing room is a little scary — the bed does not have the usual cover they change after each person. However, people working here are nice but unfortunately, they do not do a great job. I need to keep looking for more salons in Frederick :(

I followed my nail technician Kelly to V.I.P. and only seen her or Michelle. I have since learned that they both moved to another shop and no one at V.I.P. would tell me where Kelly moved to. They pretended not to know, imagine that. After some phone calls… I managed to find Kelly AND Michelle at Bebe Nails next to FSK Mall, 5597 Spectrum Dr, Frederick, MD 21 703 (301) 846‑4700 :)

Best nail spot in Frederick. Friendly staff great services!

This is the only place i go to have my nails done. They are Always so friendly and nice to me, They always call me by name and take me as soon as i arrive.

I just moved to Frederick and have tried several nail salons This is the best value overall combined with service. The technicians are friendly and do a great job, especially with Pedicures and shellac manicures. They have a nice color selection and I never really have to wait too long. What more can you ask for in a nail salon?

GoldGirl nailed it. I did make an appointment but walk-​ins are welcomed. There were a half dozen customers on Labor Day and the lady told me it was not very busy.
VIP is in a dying strip mall where Shoppers and Blockbuster went out of business. I hope they and the other «mom and pops» make it.
They have nice, if a little older massage chairs that work well, and for my pedicure, she actually let me sit and soak for a while to relax. Unlike other places where the routine is: Soak: minutes, Remove Polish: 1 minute, cuticle remover: 30 seconds… Right foot. Left foot, Right foot. I even read a magazine.
I asked for a double polish combination and she did not blink or say, «that is extra» like some places have. The young lady did a very good job, especially since I had not been in several months. Everything was clean and tools came from sealed plastic bags.
I also had my brows (again a neglected area) and lip waxed and everything came to forty dollars, which seemed quite competitive to me.
Nothing fancy, a good to very good result, and reasonably priced. I will be back.

This is the absolute WORST nails salon i’ve ever been to. The nail technician that worked on my manicure spent the entire time cussing me out in Vietnamese and calling some of the worst names ever because I accidentally scratched the polish off of one of my nails. This lady thought that I was Chinese and didn’t realize that I am in fact Vietnamese and can understand EVERY SINGLE WORD that came out of her mouth. She kept calling me a «stupid bitch» over and over for at least 10 minutes for an innocent mistaken, which I apologized for. Listen lady, mistakes happen. I’m a customer and i deserve to be treated with respect. This lady was abusive, obnoxiously rude, and two face. While she was talking to me, she’s all soft spoken and polite, then she turned to her co-​workers and started belligerently cuss me out. I would not even give this place a star if that was an option. I have been to a lot of nails salons and i have worked at several, and this place has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.
Also, while i was there, alot of the female nail technicians were talking negatively about their American customers, who are completely clueless about what these technicians are saying. BEWARE, these people are very rude and two-​faced.

This place is clean and hve plenty of nail technicians available I have been here twice. The first time I got a regular manicure and took a while because it was the weekend. But this time I went for a shellac color and it came out amazing.
I am very picky when it comes to french manicure and she did a perfect rounded white line to a perfect pink tint like I asked. I would have gave it a perfect 5 if she was more personable but either way I definitely recomment this place and will visit again 8)
