Lv Nails

QUITE DISSATISFIED with my LV Nails (East Haven, CT location) total experience. The shop removed my post to its Fcebook page.
If its locations provide the same quality of service, I don’t know why people rave about LV Nails. The location with which I’d made my appointments is clean and bright, and the designs are pretty — but no more than what should be the baseline for all shops. Nothing above and beyond, if you will.
In February, I couldn’t get in touch with my regular/​preferred nail technician in Orange. Because friends have raved about LV Nails in West Haven, and my husband and I had moved north of the Q Bridge, I thought I’d give a chance to their East Haven shop.
Description of tech: The pretty lady who took care of me is Asian with light brown hair. She sits at the front and to the left as you face the back of the shop. («stage right») She was pleasant. I don’t know her name.
I got a full set (overlay with gel polish and design). The design, though pretty, was not what I’d asked for/​physically pointed out to the nail tech. I paid, tipped (25%) and left.
When I returned two weeks later for a fill, the same lady took care of me. She needed a spot of glue on a few of the my nails. Keeping in mind that I’d only had this set for two weeks, I was displeased. Again, my nails were pretty, though not amazing.
For my next fill, my nails were done with clear gel only, as I was going to a funeral. Again, a few of the nails required glue. The finished product looked neat, and there were no visible lines. Adequate — just as I’d requested.
By the time I was ready for the third fill, though, I’d managed to get hold of the lady who has been doing my nails for years. The snow had melted, and the roads were easier, so I went to her for my next fill.
As she removed the gel from my last fill, the nails started falling off. More came off when she filed. Ultimately, I had to scrap the whole thing and get a new full set at the third fill.
Bottom line: My hands looked nice, but the quality of the LV Nails product simply doesn’t hold up. I won’t go back.

My girlfriend came here to get a gel fill. I strongly caution anyone who comes to this salon. Not only were the nails thick, but she has 4 fungus on her nails and the nails are very tender. She has fungus starting on a few others. She’s had to buy meds and take all her nails off. As a professional person, that’s extremely upsetting to her. It’s safe to say that the salon is not only dirty but the tools aren’t cleaned and disinfected. Beware.

People are very nice but I question the cleanliness of their tools.

The place is run down and didn’t seem very clean. I had a total of 3 different people that helped me throughout the entire time I was there. They did an ok job on my gel manicure. I probably won’t be coming back.

Worst nail salon ever. I came here for a mani and pedi before I left to New York for my cousins wedding. The place was packed. Only two people working and did a horrible job. While filing my nails the man cut two of my fingers and and did such a sloppy job.
Refuse to go back there.

By far the BEST nail salon I have ever been to. Clean, well lit, and skilled artists and nail techs. The owner, Annie, makes a point to get to know each of her customers personally. The quality of the workmanship for acrylic nails, gel nails, natural manicures, and even waxing is fantastic. The management takes great pride in training each employee until they are ready to meet the standard of the shop. Honestly, I have been getting my nails done since i was in high school. I have been to a ton of nail salons in my day, and now that I have found LV Nails, my search is over!!!
