L’Vee Nails Spa

I came here on a day I was working (over lunch) due to a last minute mani and pedi before a vacation. My normal nail shop closes at 7pm and I don’t get home until late. I am so glad I did, because they have become my new nail salon. I called ahead and made an appt (I would suggest this) as when I arrived for my appt, someone had just walked in before me. They asked them to return in 30 minutes as they had appts. A lot of other places would have tried to squeeze her in, It’s a breath of fresh air that they waited. I told her ahead of time when I called that I only had an hour, she said no problem. I arrived the next day, one woman was working on my pedi and another on my manicure. They both were amazing, quick and extremely gentle (I appreciated that A LOT). I wish I got their names.
On the salon: Very small, but very well decorated, classy, clean, organized and calming. They play spa music which is wonderful. They weren’t very chatty with me, however I also am not very chatty when I get my nails done as I like to relax. However, they all speak very good English and I also appreciated this as sometimes I have a hard time communicating at other salons I have gone too. I would say their prices are pretty typical for most places. I paid $ 70 for a gel pedi and gel manicure (Not including tip). Personally I loved my experience, I wish they were closer to home since I only work in Bethesda. Lunch break nail appts will become my new thing.

This was the best and most gentle pedicure I have ever had! Jennifer was amazing!!! I will be back.

I am so pleased with this salon, I don’t plan on ever going to a different salon again! The price is so reasonable and the ambiance is so friendly. Kimmy is incredibly professional and always listens to what the customer desires. Happy to have found such a great place!

One of my favorite places to do my nails.
The place is so clean and organized. The staff members are very friendly and nice. Their work is ver professional and neat. Also its a 5 minute walking distance from my house. I like going there.

I have been a customer of this salon for four years with Kimmy. Excellent! I love coming to this salon, which was renamed a few months ago from LA Nails Spa. The customer service is great and the salon is very clean. My one and only complaint is that the last couple of times I have visited after making an appointment during the week, I have had to wait 5 – 10 minutes for Kimmy. 5 – 10 minutes isn’t considered a lot of time however when you’re accustomed to never having to wait, it can seem like a «long» time.

I stopped by here for a mani-​pedi today and left a very happy camper. :-) But, here’s a tip… their name has changed. I could speculate on why (Their name used to be LA Day Spa, just do a search for the «LA» part and you’ll see why. And no, that other place is NOT them) but it really doesn’t matter. The place is the same… only the name changed.
So, about the review: This place is NOT large, so I highly recommend you make an appointment. Because they are busy, busy, busy which is a great sign for a nail place. I luckily got there just as they opened and they had a slot available so I was able to walk in. Had I arrived an hour later, I would have been turned away as they were packed.
The prices are great, and the staff is super friendly. I enjoyed my time there, and she took great care in shaping my nails to perfection. They offer you a beverage when you arrive, and they play the most relaxing music! I wanted to go to sleep. Ahhhh… nice.
I got gel nails, in black. very hard to get right and she nailed it. Er, no pun intended. OK, maybe it was :-D
My toes look sandal worthy again, and I left relaxed and happy. Think it was $ 54 for both mani-​pedi but don’t quote me on that.
While I was there, the phone rang quite often with more people making appointments. Seriously… make one. And don’t hesitate to give them a try.

I love this place — First off they can usually accommodate anyone on a whim. I have been going here for about 4 years now — Kimmy is my girl, she does an awesome job! Today when I called and got in — I was able to see Vicky (sp?), and she did an equally amazing J.O.B. Vicky is new and is so worth the trip, great massage and good pedi — very gentle w/​trimming the cuticle. Can’t wait to go back. They also do a quick job on your lunch hour nice mid-​day treat during the week.

I always go here because it’s right around the corner from my job and they always do a great job. I had a new girl and unfortunately did not get her name but she is a phenomenal job. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made my nails look exactly like the picture. I love this place and will continue to go back.

Jenn is AMAZING!!! I have went to so many places before and my gel manicure never lasted! I am a hairstylist and love to keep my nails looking nice and this has always been a challenge. Jenn takes her time, has great customer service and is so creative! Her gel manicures last me at least two weeks!!! I live in Anne Arundel county and will drive to see Jenn! It is so worth it!!!

I had no idea this place was so conveniently located right on top of the metro stop. Parking here is awful. I came on a weekday, the parking garage was crowded and kind of expensive for parking in this area. That aside, my friend got a pedicure while I was waxed. I did have to wait a while because the aesthetician was doing someone’s nails. The room is clean and cute, and they give you a blanket to cover yourself! My waxer was sweet and checked to make sure I was going okay.
I told my girl the wax was a little too hot, and she seemed to turn it down but it was still a bit painful. Now, I’ve been waxed more times than I can count. The actual process is like frolicking through a field of daisies for me. But good lord, this was painful! I thought I had just been off the horse for too long, but when I went to shower that evening it was painful. When I woke up in the morning the next day, still painful. There wasn’t a significant amount of redness, but it was definitely tender, so I think I got some mild burn from the wax. Needless to say, as sweet as the staff was, I won’t be back.

This place is tiny but cute and pleasantly decorated. Massage-​worthy music plays in the background while you get your mani/​pedi. Kimmy is great and is so friendly. She laughed at all my jokes, so that’s a plus ;) I also got my brows waxed and it was done well in a small back room — there are a few. My gel manicure was way cheaper than what I normally pay but the quality wasn’t compromised at all. Kimmy takes great care to do her job. I’ll definitely be back.

Kimmy is my go-​to for manicures. She does the best french mani I have found so far. This place is busy. So, I recommend making an appointment.

I love Kimmy. She is so wonderful. I’m so picky with my feet and she never disappoints. She also does my shellac and I love it.

Just went back to LA Spa and it was another great experience! Nails look great and foot massage was wonderful. Best nail salon in the DMV!

I’ve been to LA Day Spa now four times for waxing services. The place is cozy and there are admittedly a few dust bunnies on the floor, but I’ve been happy with the service. The staff are friendly, the waits are short or non-​existent, and they do a good job. Donna has been particularly friendly and really seems to know her stuff. And the prices are very competitive. I recommend this place as a reliable shop to get decent quality waxing at a good price.

My daughter and I got pedicures and manicures last night and had a fantastic experience. The salon is small, relaxing, nice music, quiet and comfortable. Donna was great and the foot/​leg scrub and hand massage are not part of the mani/​pedis I’ve gotten other places. We got trapped by a rainstorm and were pampered while we waited it out.
I won’t go anywhere else again!

I was seen right away by Minh for a gel manicure during my lunch break and she was great! She was extremely thorough and meticulous, which I really really appreciated. She made sure every inch of my horrid nails looked fabulous before I left back to my desk. The salon is super clean and gets busy around lunchtime, but everyone is really nice! And the price isn’t so bad either.
Def recommend, ask for Minh.

I’ve come to this place twice after taking metro into Bethesda needing a quick manicure before a meeting or before my work shift. both times the woman told me that I need to come back and or they are eating and nobody can see me at the time I wanted. nobody else is in the salon. it’s empty. smells like ass and the women in there are rude as hell. today I was hopeful to get a quick manicure and the woman told me to come back at 12 since she had an appointment. there was nobody in there and I asked what time was her appt and she said 10. must be nice to turn away someone’s money and pick and choose what customers they want to see. I’m sure rent is high in that space too. I will never ever come back here and I wouldn’t be surprised this place is disgusting.

I came by here for the first time the other day for a mani/​pedi and eyebrow wax. I was satisfied with the quality of service and you get good value for a downtown Bethesda salon!
Mani/​pedi combo is $ 37, which includes foot/​leg scrub and hand massage. I didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed the experience. The salon plays relaxing tunes, so it’s a nice escape from busy Wisconsin Avenue. It carries my favorite nail polish brand — OPI.
Eyebrow wax is $ 12 and the service was quick and simple.
Convenient location (right on top of Bethesda metro stop), good prices and nice variety of nail and waxing services. I’ll be back!

I work right around the block so I’ve been curious about this spot. I went in for a pedicure after work one evening. I was in and out in under an hour. I normally prefer my pedi sessions to last a little longer because it means a more thorough job and more massage. However, Kimmie did an adequate job. I would definitely consider returning if I need a pedicure in a short amount of time.
Quick notes: Mani/​pedi is $ 37. A pedicure on its own is $ 25. They do not accept American Express.
