LaVina Nail & Spa in Hyattsville, MD

Every time I come here, this man is asked to do my nails and I have had issues with him and his demeanor every time. He is rude and immediately gets agitated if you ask him a question like, "what gel colors do you have for a French base?" Why does that get you angry? I asked him to please be kinder because I'm asking a simple question and he scoffs then quotes me $120 for a simple full set. I ask for the price book and calculate the price and it should be $90. He scoffs again and walks away. As I suspected, he was upset because I asked him to stop being rude. If you come here, avoid him. Also my nails looked terrible even after someone else did them. I showed a simple picture of almond shaped French tips. I didn't get close to that at all.

Wouldn't recommend walking in and getting a pedicure. It was rushed, no massage or callus removal. My nails were over painted and the woman didn't understand me when I asked her to fix it. Color options are limited to the basic OPI colors as well.

Very nice service and my nails turned out better than the photo I showed them! Sanitary tools and reasonable price. I will be making this my regular nail spot! :)

This happened in January and I haven't back, but I do not recommend unless you're going to one of the ladies that specialize in acrylics. I came for a simple manicure, before I did I called and asked if there was anyone other than the older lady to do my feet. I don't like when she does it cuz she has cut me before so I avoid her. They assured me someone else could do my feet. This place changes staff like nobodies business, so when I arrived it wasn't the same group of men that usually do feet. I specifically asked for a man to do them and not the old lady, when I said that she said something in Vietnamese. Idc but it's like I can't explain to you how you hurt me if you can't understand me. They had this one dude doing my feet and it was awful. He was clearly a new arrival to the states and was just hired there for work. Maybe they were cousins because the other dude was standing next to him and coaching him the entire time he was doing my feet. He was shaking the entire time and it took him a whole hour for a gel manicure. I recorded it and took pictures. He had the longest finger nails ever and was scraping me when he tried to make corrections for his polish, which I told him he was hurting me and he apologized. The polish was nice but overall I was pissed because of why tf would you give me a man that's never worked in a salon a day in his life. That's dangerous and careless. Also, watch out for their tools. They'll "disinfect" them and put them back into the little bag that's supposed to have new tools in them. They were doing it during COVID but I guess they don't bother with it anymore. Never going here again. I got a new phone so I don't have the pictures and videos anymore but if I find them on my old phone I'll upload them.

The reviews about customer service ... understandable. But if the job is to have pretty nails, a job well done! Also find it a bit odd that prices aren't posted inside or on their website I did have to call to see how much a gel manicure would cost. Also the inside is beautiful! Side note: I did have to ask for cuticle oil at the end which I believe is a pretty standard manicure procedure
