La Vie Nails & Spa in Brookfield, WI

If I could give this place zero stars I would. They truly don't even deserve the time it's taking me to write this review. However, I think it's important for all of you to know how awful of a salon this is. My sister and I were getting our mani and pedi done for her wedding. We had appts and they got to us right away (for once). They treated us like second class citizens this time. Talking about my sister and me in front of our faces, obvious by the way in which they were staring us up and down and laughing while chattering. Eventually we called them out on this and at first they denied but eventually stopped. One of the men was truly the worst and kept rolling his eyes at my sister the entire time ...not sure what his name was but he has tattoos up his arms. the other man there was also unprofessional. the women were guilty by association and laughed but didn't initiate per se. Save your time and your money and go somewhere where they treat you with respect and civility

Takes FOREVER. No matter if you have an appointment or not be ready to wait. Pedicure was very nice, especially the leg/foot massage but was not worth how long I sat unattended in the chair (the water got cold). Seems like they take more clients than they can accommodate for. Cleanliness wise it's okay. Staff seem friendly but very unorganized in terms of clients and overbooking. Overall there are better places in the area for the same price.

Full disclosure: This was my first manicure in 15 years, and my very first pedicure. I loved that I could just walk in, no appointment required. I started with the pedicure, and was placed in a massage chair. Minus the star for that: it was the most uncomfortable massage I have ever had from a chair, and was actually a little painful at times. The pedicure was lovely. I have extremely ticklish feet, and the tech never got me once! From there I was moved out into "general pop" and received my manicure. Again, a lovely experience. I had artificial nails put on where needed, and opted for a dip powder. Best decision ever! My nails didn't show any signs of wear for at least a month! I don't get manicures (and certainly not pedicures) on the regular, like a lot of people do, so I can't say with any certainty that I will be back, but I did enjoy my experience and would recommend. 34/2023

My daughter and I had a wonderful pedicure! Relaxing and very friendly and and they did a great job!

I typically always come here for pedicures and never have any issues. I always book the Deluxe and get gel so $60 for the service. Today I came in for my appointment at 1:30 and was pretty quickly sat in the pedicure chair, where I then sat for an additional 30 minutes without the pedicure starting. When the nail technician finally came over he completely rushed through the "pedicure" and didn't even exfoliate the bottom of my feet. Instead he put lotion on my legs and feet and genuinely felt that was acceptable. I book the deluxe for the paraffin treatment but it also comes with the exfoliating scrub, essential oils, soak and the essential oil lotion and is a 50 minute process. Instead he flew through it and was "done" in 15. Even the regular pedicures are listed as 45 minutes worth of service. It's unfortunate, but I will obviously not be returning. A completely ridiculous experience.
