MLV Nails Studio - New Orleans (LA)

1 /5 Sara Zaldívar: Don’t go!!! The guy is thin and has tattoos all over his arms. If I could give 0 stars I would. My daughter has tiny nail beds and he was using a size 20 brush. You might not know but that is a huge brush that will carry too much product onto your nails. That exactly what caused her nails look like globes, look at the thumbs. The nails weren’t filed correctly look at the middle nail on the right tip, uneven. Nail polish application was terrible look at the nails that are different oranges. The difference in amount of polish also caused difference in texture.

5 /5 Brittany Renee Perry: My pinky sculpted nail popped off right when I arrived for honeymoon and bday events so I had to get this nail fixed. I’m back in the morning to get the other pinky swirl done exactly the same cause it was so excellently done! And super quick ..20min

1 /5 Brandi Barnes: Went in on Thursday 2/27 with my teenage daughter for 2 full sets. I requested a medium length almond with French tips and my daughter just a short square with white powder…my nails were a complete stiletto instead of almond so rather than waiting until she finished I pointed out I did not like the shape and wanted almond not stiletto. The girl tried to fix it but had already made them too skinny to be corrected…. I asked to just top coat them or take them off because I was not happy and would end up having to get them removed. My daughters ended up sloppy and just overall terrible work. I understand she is a teenager however the rate is the same as an adult and should receive the same respect, attention, and quality. I requested the number for the owner, Emma before leaving the shop because we were so dissatisfied. Upon speaking with Emma, she asked me to come in Saturday morning to have them fixed -I mentioned to her I thought they would have to be redone, it wasn’t fixable. Fast forward she showed up 20 minutes later than our agreed upon time to try to rectify the situation…. Rather than redoing them, she attempted to apply another layer of acrylic to make a quick fix out of the situation which I made clear I was not thrilled with and requested a refund. The owner spoke with a sarcastic and sometimes just flat out rude tone and was unwilling to redo the work and instead refunded the portion for my nails only since my daughter was so unhappy she wouldn’t even return to let them try to fix it…I was told my nails beds were the problem—however I went to Cindy’s nails on Carrollton down the street and was more than satisfied . The work was 1000x better and was even less expensive. Last pic with French tip is work from Cindy’s nails, not mlv!!!

3 /5 Ricquita Smith: Use to go here a long time ago. It’s changed aesthetically a lot. The place was welcoming and the people were nice. My daughter got a full set and a toe polish. My daughter got short square nails with regular polish. I showed them a picture of what my daughter wanted for a design and was told that you can only get a design or French style nails on gel nails. I’ve never heard of that before because before there was gel, nail techs drew designs directly onto the nail. Additionally the polish job was lumpy and the overall finish was mediocre. Her cuticles were dry and no oil was placed on her nails. The shape was also not the best. Her nails were $35 but look like they were done by a person in beauty school. I would probably go again and just request another tech because they were nice!
