V I P Nail Salon Spa in Billings, MT

In search of a last-minute pedicure, I decided to try a couple of things I haven't tried before:   The Yelp app for getting quotes and this salon.

It worked better than I anticipated.  

VIP is a nice salon that does a good job of keeping the flow of customers moving.  Although they do take walk-ins, best only to try that at non-peak hours.  They even have Sunday appointments, but that's definitely an appointment only day.

The ceiling lights are covered with screens that make it look like a sunny day with the cumulus clouds and a few stray butterflies on wire dangling in a couple of places. The window on the side have a screen with a beach scene. Both of these things lend VIP toward the sit-and-relax atmosphere.

There are several different levels of manicures and pedicures available, depending on how far into the spa style you want to go.

They're a nice group of people, will talk or not depending on you, but I've noticed a lean more towards the "no talk" during pedicures, but "let's chat" during manicures.

Shellac and regular polish is available depending on how long you want the polish to last.  They also offer some "natural" products as part of the mani or pedi.

Really enjoyed my experience at VIP nails! Very kind technicians. Easy to schedule myself and two other people so we could all go at the same time.
My favorite was the hand massage and rub during my manicure!
Great business :)

Went in with pictures of what I wanted. Solid color gel nails with jewels on top. My manicurist was a newbie who had no clue what she was doing. She finished my nails and I asked her about the jewel art on top, she informed me she forgot about it.
I rarely ever have my nails done, 1 or 2 times a year, normally for special occasions. I don't know the process for the nail application/steps, and I'd never done the jeweled look before so I kept thinking maybe she puts the jewels on at the very end. She completely forgot. She had to file off some of the gel from the top and try to glue on the little jewels. They wouldn't stay, she got up and asked a lady who was giving a pedicure to another client. Both came back and looked at my nails and the other individual fired off a lengthy conversation. Another attempt was made by my manicurist. I asked her if she knew what she was doing and had she done these before. The other lady was still standing there and let me know: she know!
Well, I walked out of there with crazy looking nails and a deep cut to the side wall of my nail. I'll be filing them off and looking elsewhere for a manicurist. Please don't practice on people if you don't know what you are doing, or at the very least don't practice unsupervised. My manicurist didn't know more than the basics. My nails had big clear blobs/hills around the jewels where she tried to glue them on. Since they wouldn't stick she went to town with the glue. Then added additional layers of clear gel on top. It looks insane lol not pleased and not impressed.

Wanted to find a place that would do a pedicure. Did some digging and found this gem! Little bit of a language barrier at first with some concerns with glove type usage. The lady was was very understanding and accommodated me very well! Most likely paces I've been too scrub too hard with calluses. Not this place! They were very gentle with it but also firm enough to get the job done. Would definitely come back here again!
