I love visiting this place. The staff is always incredibly friendly and they consistently deliver excellent service. Despite my allergies to gel polish and acrylics, they offer a product called builder gel that I can use, which is HEMA-free. This is my go to place, highly recommended!

Kiki did an amazing job! I was nervous because my nails went through it. I had one nail that completely ripped in half and she was able to add a gel x tip to make it even with my other nails! I also had a nail that was ripping in half and was super sensitive. She was careful, removed my old manicure and add gel on top so that it won’t lift with no pain! Overall, I was super satisfied with this manicure and always satisfied every time I visit

Yesterday was my first time at Bellaviva and it was a great experience. Everyone was very welcoming and very personable. Love that this salon is one-on-one service with a very calm environment. I got the basic pedicure Gel x manicure and both services were great! The technician took her time and explained each step of the manicure as it was my first time getting Gel. After my appointment was finished I booked appointments out for the next 2 services. So happy I found this salon!

I’ve been to Bellaviva four times now, and every visit has been a great experience. This time, Iman did my manicure and pedicure, and she did a fantastic job! She was gentle, detail-oriented, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My nails look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend both Iman and Bellaviva!

Lovely salon. I'm someone who doesn't get regular manis/pedis and they were very helpful with color selection and explaining the process. Also you can easily book online and they are open on Sundays. It was my first waterless pedicure and it was great. My technician Mariam was gentle because sometimes manicures can feel a little rough but not with her. Plus my nails look beautiful 😍

Iman is the sweetest nail tech ever. She educated me on builder gel and how I can strengthen my nails after damaging them for years with acrylic. The shop is adorable, staff is nice, and the environment is very clean. I love getting my nails done with Iman.

Loved my experience at Bellaviva! Not only is it a cute salon, all the girls were so nice! This was my first waterless pedicure and I didn’t miss the H2O! I also tried the gel x and Odalis did an amazing job. I could tell she took her time and she was able to educate me about the process along the way. This was a birthday treat for me and I have to say that exceeded my expectations!

My new favorite place to get my nails done! I’m allergic to gel and acrylic nails (I get blisters, redness, swelling…) but they have HEMA free builder gel and I had no issues with it. I’m excited I can get my nails done again. I also tried their waterless pedicure and loved it! Staff and customer service is A+. I had services done with Jenny, Iman, Kiki, and Christina… they were all wonderful!
