Vanity Projects Miami

Literally the only salon in Miami I’ll go to! I’ve tried almost every nail tech and so many different services and found what’s best for me! Before VP, I never wore my natural nails and always got extensions. After going to VP long term my nails grew long and durable. I’ve done so many designs, cut my nails, grown them out again, changed nail-shapes, etc. They also do the best pedis and have repaired my feet from tore up to flawless time and time again! The key is to be very detailed and transparent when booking about what it is you want and what it is you need so they can match you with the nail tech who is best for you and give you enough timing. I’ll literally never go anywhere else ❤️

Best place for nails in Miami. Andrea is a true artist. She is so talented and meticulous. Her work just keeps getting better and better. Yes, they are not the cheapest, however you do get what you pay for. They use Japanese gel that doesn’t destroy your nails and can lay chip free for more than a month. I have had one mani last me 5 weeks. Check out her impeccable work with these photos and video.

Been coming here for hard gel for a long time. Excellent quality products and great team. Love Joli for my nails, she has all the skills to protect your nails.

I used to go here when I last lived in Miami, about 7 years ago. Loved it. But the girl I went to left and started her own place. I thought I would give this place a try again as it’s not close to home but regretted it. Nails had different lengths, polish wasn’t smooth. The gel manicure I had did not meet the aesthetic they advertise on instagram. Was very disappointed.

I so wanted to love this place, but it just didn't happen. I booked two appointments both with different artists. They were both lovely people and so were the desk ladies. The vibe was nice, a bit different then your standard salon, but they didn't have any video art playing (which was one of the reasons I went) and the chairs were pretty uncomfortable. I dont know how the artists sit in them all day honestly. While both sets of nails were ok, they weren't exceptional and for the price they should have been perfect. The way the salon applies the nails is different and not in a good way. Both sets had visible bubbles in them from using the builders gel as a top coat. This is usually used under the nail art to shape the nail and is filed and covered. The nail art I got for my wedding is already peeling and it's only been 7 days, and the lines are REALLY inconsistent. I understand it's freehand but it was a rush job. I would have appreciated some extra care especially since they knew they were for my wedding. I wouldn't recommend this salon, since I know there are others that do a better job for a more reasonable cost. I should also mention that the prices for your nail art are not based on time but vicariously selected from a book of pictures of other nail art.

Super Disappointed!! Paid over $200 for GelX nails for my trip to Paris and in 4 days they started falling off. I've done my nails for years at other places and this has never happened to me. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I’m obsessed with Vanity Projects in Miami. I’ve been getting the Gel X and they look incredible and they last for an entire month. The staff is so sweet and always so accommodating. I booked with Emily recently and she was awesome. I feel so at home at their new location and always have such an awesome experience every time I’m there! My nails always look fabulous and I always snag a complementary Topo Chico!! The best.

I was so excited to visit this salon! I also do nails professionally but live in Pittsburgh. I paid $170 for an acrylic full set with a black base and some glitter. The acrylic wasn’t applied evenly to my cuticle, the thickness is inconsistent across all nails and some of dips and lumps. Was rly hoping for more. The cost didn’t match the product.

Well this is my second time reviewing the poor work by Vanity Projects. It seems like someone reported it to Yelp, sad to see when businesses do not like or want to see the truth about their employees doing a HORRIBLE job on their customers, and go and report it to Yelp to have it taken down. The nail tech that did that crappy work is named Caro. Save your money, time and energy and go someplace else!! This place is all about high prices with low effort and lower quality work. xo

Today, I had a "pleasure" of meeting the owner of this place. Deranged, to say the least. I am glad that there were other patrons to witness her outrageously neurotic and disrespectful behavior and that they, just like me, will never return. I just wish that I remembered to pull out my phone and record her as words don't do much justice to describe today's encounter... screaming, shaking, threatening.... I have already found myself another place to do my nails of course. That was easy. The hard part is going to be for her to get the mental help that she needs, and I truly hope she does.

Absolutely loved my new nails. I got nail art and it was perfectly shaped with the Apres Nails form. I wanted a geode type design and she achieved it. It took about hour and a half and she did a fantastic job. They really get creative here. Also the place was in the design district in such a nice location great for relaxing and shopping afterward. Very nice interior to the salon.

First time here! I came in for the weekly special $50. $5 extra for gel coat, $10 extra for base. Andrea was very meticulous and friendly. The staff was welcoming, upon entry you are free to wash your hands. Hand sanitizer available for use. There are 3 pedicure stations. The environment felt elevated, classy, and creative. Booking online requires a card but you are able to use another card upon check-out. Parking garage is in the same area as Vanity, $3 for up to 3-4 hours. Highly recommend if you want to spoil yourself. The prices are higher than usual but I can understand why the amount of detail they put into your nails is a lot of effort.

Let me start off by saying that this place is BOUJIE. It is in Miami design district so you already know what that means. It is located on the second floor just in case you are wondering where it is. Parking is streets parking ( very busy) or valet. I have been wanting to go here for years ! When I needed a pick me up I made an appointment with the weekly special the Halloween special. I really recommend the weekly special a design that was for 50 dollars. I LOVE my nails exactly what I wanted. Very professional place and very insta worthy. Everything is perfection. As soon as I got there I was asked what I would want to drink. This hardly happens in Miami. And the coffee was good. There was a small catch tho. My gel had to removed and I had done it in another place (IT was 20 dollars gel removal). That to me is a bit much. But it was a treat yourself moment. Lol. So weekly special + gel removal + tip came to around 80 something. Highly recommend this place. The lady that did my nails insta is @naileeen. Very talented and so Sweet. Definitely coming back !

This nail salon is spectacular! I love coming every other week. As a New Yorker coming to Miami I was so happy to see my nyc salon here too! My nail tech is the best of the best and always makes me feel so special!

I went to Vanity Nails three times now. I'm a physician who has a hectic schedule and I understand that they have to maintain some sense of order over people who miss appointments. But the front desk worker is who really put the nail in this coffin. I missed four or five and was able to reschedule. On the day I had rescheduled I called Vanity Projects from my car to certify that I would be only be the determined 15 minutes late for my appointment. It was then that the desk worker, Ms. Bella, informed me that this would be ok (arrival at 5:25 pm as per my GPS). When I arrived at that time, I received a call from the same person saying she'd have to downgrade my appointment. I had rushed from the hospital to be there, made sure to say the time, and be punctual. The day prior, I had been told that the appointment was made for 5:15 pm by a different desk worker. When I told Ms. Bella this, she said that I was not telling the truth and that the person had not told me that. When I confronted her further, she told me it could not be true. What had in fact happened, was the worker from the day before had likely accidentally said the time of an appointment I'd had to cancel (at 5:15 pm). Calling me a liar, treating me with animosity when I arrived was simply so upsetting that I was visibly upset. Rather than come to some kind of an agreement, Ms. Bella told me I could take myself to the back without so much as a word to me. Many don't know I speak Spanish, I don't look like one who would, but I overheard some pretty unkind things said about me from Bella and I even caught her calling me a Kike (a slur for a Jewish person). I am willing not to pursue this issue so as not to ruin a young person's life and career, but I certainly wouldn't want it to happen to another Jewish woman. Again, I wish the workers well and the pedicurist was incredibly kind to me, so much so that I even started to cry. I've been working 36 hour shifts and it had been almost a year since I'd had my toes done. Clearly not something I meant to do, but because of the pandemic I just couldn't. Please don't go here, the ancillary staff is awful and prejudiced, apparently. I may even pursue legal action for whatever money went to the salon and not to the nail artists.

For a ritzy Design District location, the feel is very downscale. It's a little grubby, but with usurious prices ($90 for nails - no designs or special features!) . Note that if you've gotten your nails done elsewhere, it costs an extra $10 to get the gel removed, as compared to if you had your previous appointment at Vanity Projects. I guess it's a clever customer retention technique, but a rather nasty surprise for new customers. My girlfriend, whom I accompanied on her visit, won't be coming back.

They do great work and I love that each nail tech has their own creative style. Its also a nice minimalistic nail salon that works by appointment only, so no long waits. However due to the sheer costs of services, I have to give them 1 star. Sorry. I have been getting my nails professionally done since age 12 and there are waay better shops that are less expensive.

I'm gushing with happiness, because I've officially found a nail salon that consistently provides amazing results. All of the nail technicians at Vanity Projects are extremely talented and well worth the amount of money they charge for their services. I've worked with both Lynette & Claudia and haven't been disappointed yet. The quality of service at Vanity Projects is high and the nails are very long-lasting. It's honestly hard to compare them to any other nail salon because they truly stand above the rest. I will note one thing... The manicures aren't your "typical" manicure where they dip your hands in water and put lotion on your hands. This doesn't mean that they're "skipping out" on any steps. They utilize different methods to remove your cuticles and then put on an oil to soften them at the end of your manicure - your hands still leave looking moisturized and lovely. We've been conditioned for years and years to expect certain things with manicures - don't be scared or put off because they do things a little differently!

I have a bad habit of not always reviewing places that are well known and liked, and I do need to change that. VP is one of those places. I've been going for a year and have NEVER had a bad experience. The staff is amazing, the facility is clean (even pre covid), and the techs are truly artists. The weekly specials vary and are $50 (seriously that is a steal for nail art). Follow them on IG to see what it is each week. What's really leading me to review them now is how great they've been during COVID. It's one of the places I feel safest and one of the few places I go. They moved the tables around for maximum space, they limit the amount of people in, its incredibly clean (the receptionist was sanitizing EVERYTHING during my last visit), and masks are strictly required. Some insider tips: 1. Do the hard gel. Your nails will NEVER chip 2. On Sundays you can chose from TWO specials - the prior week and the upcoming 3. Ask for Eileen

Got my nails done last Friday while visiting my sister in Miami. My nails are chipped and gel polish has lifted off of my nails less than a week after getting the gel manicure done. If I lived in Miami I would be back to get a refund and get it removed.

Everything about this place is high end and amazing. From the special gel polish they use to the techniques to the front desk. I have come here twice and both times have been beyond great with nail tech Alice. I will never go to a regular salon again. It's a little pricey but worth every penny as I only need to come once a month rather than get my nails done every two weeks. The friendly front desk always calls and emails to confirm my appt the day before which I love. Always offer me something to drink etc. I've heard about this salon from my neighbor and have been curious to see what the big deal was. Well now I know! The specials of the week are 50 dollars and I usually pay 5 dollars extra for the hard gel on top and also 5 dollars for removal. It's amazing. I now look forward to getting my nails done.

It is very rare for me to write a negative YELP review, but I felt like this had to be put out there. I have been going to Vanity Projects for a little over a year now. I started going when the Pandemic hit. It was a nice way to treat myself, relax and get away from the day-to-day craziness. I am a regular client of VP. I have been coming roughly every couple weeks - sometimes at least once month. I have made friends there with the nail artists specifically Andrea, Alice and Illiana. These girls do beautiful work. However, I am writing this because I am just appalled with the level of bullying and unprofessionalism, I have received from the two girls at the front desk. One specifically being Ada Cruz, who I just learned is the manager at the Miami Salon. Bullying to the point where I was in tears at my job today after speaking with her on the phone. Where it starts: At the beginning of the week, I had an appointment with Illiana and I had scheduled my appointment for Nail Art which is usually $100. I went in with the expectations to have the art done but as we were doing the consultation, she advised that I do something different from what I had chosen because the design that I chose wouldn't look good on my nails. After giving me her opinion, I changed my mind and decided not to do the Nail Art and do a simpler "cat eye" design. I'm not a picky person. It's funny because as I was talking to Illiana, she mentioned to me that I was one of her "nicer" clients. She agreed that I was very understanding to which I usually am if something cannot be done. As I finished my nail appointment, I went to checkout (pay) and I received a lecture from the two girls at the front desk that I was not allowed to make appointments for Nail Art if I was not going to get it. Again, I'm only human. I went in with the intentions of getting Nail Art, but I changed my mind because of the artist's recommendation. They also told me that If I didn't warn them next time that I changed my mind, they would charge me the full amount anyways.  I understand time is money but I really didn't want to do a service that I was not going to be happy with and I tried explaining that to them, but they proceeded with attitude. In the heat of the moment, I was a bit upset and I didn't tip the nail artist. It's a bummer when you have a nice time and as your leaving two girls are lecturing you because you changed your mind and decided to do a different service which they still made $80 off of. I didn't feel that was my responsibility to inform them. Two days later I received an email from Ada regarding the tip and she asked that it was customary to leave at least 18% and that if I continued to not leave tip, that they would no longer be able to service me. I always tip the girls. I called her to explain my reasoning behind not leaving the tip and she got so flustered and upset that she asked me to permanently not return to the salon. After the phone call, it's like she had the button ready to completely remove me from future appointments and I was blocked from making appointments. It's unfortunate for the nail artists who work hard at building up their cliental while the people at the front desk seem to continue to turn people away. After the conversation, I read on YELP other reviews people have been leaving about Ada and the front desk and I seem to not be alone. I have seen the salon at different stages, and it went from being packed all the time with bookings and the last visit I went to I saw empty chairs. The girls at the front desk could've handled this in a more professional manner but they came at me with the intent to attack!! The services are very expensive... More expensive than any other salon I've gone to and the management should be more professional handling clients if they want to fill those empty chairs again.

Vanity Projects is literally a magical place full of the most talented artists around. The wonderful ladies in the front, Ariela, Ada, Gabby and more are the sweetest and super efficient in helping accommodate appointments. All of the genius artists, Gena, Eileen, Jolie, Claudia, Chiara are beyond talented and a pleasure to spend a few hours with! There is truly nothing they cannot create on your nails! Love it!

The new crown to nail salons in Miami goes to VP!! The weekly special is my jam, and I can't stop telling all of my girlfriends about this spot. They do not do wet manicures which have really been helping my nails keep their shape and my cuticles from peeling so much. I love the designs and happy to have found a spot that is not going to give me dirty looks for requesting nail art.. but in fact a spot that helps me decide and pick what to do! Try the hard gel top coat- my nails have not broken or peeled once and I am going on week 3 with my second set. Ask for Kro- shes a gawdess and artist.

Like so many other reviews that I am reading for Vanity Projects Miami they are all absolutely on target regarding the talented nail technicians but the extremely unfriendly, unwelcoming, and rude so called front desk "welcoming" staff... And again the prices they charge which change every minute are astronomical and 3x the price of the best salons out there!!! That being said why are they not absolutely accommodating and friendly and know your name when you walk in there??! My latest incident happened when they called me the day before an appointment I had made a month in advance because a very freak thing happened to Chiara and had to cancel her appointments. However do you think after being a regular and waiting a month for every appointment and paying $340 for my nails that they would call me back to reschedule that appointment??! Nope!!! So all these months later after not hearing from them at all I call to see when their next available is... 5 weeks for Chiara & 3 weeks for a new technician!!! So there is a way to go about making customers feel better if you apologize because you are very short staffed and in the process of looking for high-end artistic nail techs which we Understand is difficult to find... But no...never any type of explanation or reasoning or consolation. How do you run a business like this here or in New York -which I used to go before corona hit... it's flabbergasting and inexcusable to run such a high end specialty business with these kinds of issues... when you are paying a premium you expect top notch nail techs and top-notch accommodating service and all I hear from reviews and people who walk out of there is frustration and disgust and dissatisfaction... Vanity Projects has such an opportunity to be on the map has the best in the business but so many things are lacking... I would love to hear back from Rita the owner bcuz I am so pissed off...too many bad incidents.

Best of the best Pricy but worth it always! Ive never been disappointed ! Important to make an appointment way before needed!

This review is solely for the front desk, Ada to be exact. It's been about a year that I've been going to VP. I've tried almost all the techs. Claudia & Gina (my favs), Lynette is great too and I've seen Rose as well. All did great. Claudia absolutely is BOSS when it comes to designs and time management. Each appointment, $85-$120, plus tip for a gel manicure & simple art. Let's get into the child arguing on the phone now. I missed one appointment. I thought my scheduled time was in the afternoon and it turns out it was in the morning, human error. Here's the ridiculous thing.. they want to charge me a $90 cancellation fee. They did not have my CC on file to charge me so I was told they would WAIVE the fee this time. Much appreciated I responded to whomever on the phone at the time. Listen, I get it. Time is worth money and if an appointment is missed, the tech is just sitting there doing nothing. Carry on, I go to reschedule... I'm told I can't until they charge me the $90 cancellation fee on top of my $85-$120 regular appointment. I say, hold on.. why are you wanting to charge me $90 after I was told it would be waived? As opposed to speaking to the owner or whoever I spoke to originally, Ada continued to raise her voice while huffing and puffing to say, "as I said, in order for you to see Claudia again, you need to pay $90 for your cancellation fee". I woosa here and hang up. All the money people, including myself, spend in Vanity Projects and this is the treatment we receive? It's not appreciated and extremely RUDE to speak to anyone in such form. VP is in a good location and crazy pricey. With the money being made, they should invest time in finding individuals more qualified to be their first impression. It's definitely the last for us 4.

While my usual girl was busy i saw the nail salon on instagram and i must say this salon nail art game is on point I scheduled a appointment w/ yessenia.. Mind you im very use to having my gel manicure lasting a very long time as well streching the time to about 3 weeks also i do not have brittle nails from having gel manicures The manicurist drilled my gel polish off. I did notice as well her "technique" to file my nails was very strange she filed the sides of my nails with a rough file to achive the shape i requested. again i didnt think of mentioning anything since i felt this was a professional place plus the cost was close to what im used to paying for very good gel manicure After a week of wear within that week the sides of my nail kept having hangnails it was bothersome to always constantly feel it every single time also one of my nail broke within a week Im not sure what type of technique they use but my regular nail tech mentioned to me that my natural nail felt fragile and weak. It didnt help the front desk girl gabi wasnt attentive when i first came in :(

It's great work but I think the prices are a bit overpriced for some of the selections. I received a very basic nail design that was charged $90. So I haven't been back since. My nails with tip cost over $200.

Friendly staff, clean work space. And I love my nails been two weeks and they still look brand new. I got the weekly special which is so nice to have that option for those on a budget with a more simple style. The products they use are top of the line and the mani technique is life changing. I also added the protective layer (not sure what it's called) for $5 and it really is amazing- nail tech was Valentina. IG handle: @veedidem

Let me start out by saying they have some very talented nail techs. And that's where the compliments end. I was going there for a few months and despite the ridiculously high prices, everything was fine- until I wanted to change nail techs. The technician I was seeing asked me why I booked an appointment with someone else, making me extremely uncomfortable. It is my decision who I want to see and I simply wanted to try out another artist who seemed a lot nicer than the woman I was currently going to. Well I had to tell her it was a mistake because I was embarrassed and had to change my appointment to continue seeing her. From that point on, all my appointments were rushed and I could tell she didn't like me. The front staff are all stuck up and rude and honestly, because I'm not a millionaire, I felt very uncomfortable in this environment. If you don't wearGucci and Louis Vuitton, this is probably not the place for you. They really do look down on you!

After following them on Instagram for a few months, I finally made an appt. That was a few months ago and I haven't been anywhere else since! I would recommend going with the weekly special unless you really have something specific in mind. I have done my nails with a few of the amazing women they have working there and they are all good!

This was my first time going to Vanity Projects and most likely my last time. Let me preface my review by saying that the poor rating does not reflect that of the staff nor of my nail technician. Everyone at the salon was so nice and attentive. My nail technician was beyond talented! She's a true artist and spent 2+ hours on my manicure. I've gotten my nails done at numerous salons in Miami and New York City and never have I paid $155 for an Acrylic Set gel manicure with nail art! It was honestly my fault for not checking the prices before booking my appointment. It appears that they have to charge these prices due to the outrageous rent that they must pay for being located in the design district Needless to say, I'm not at a place in my life to pay almost $200 on a manicure. Hopefully one day I can.

Love love love!!! I was introduced to Vanity Projects from girlfriend and I'm hooked. Heading to Paris for vaca and got the best Coco Chanel inspired mani. Can't wait to go back. These girls are unbelievably talented artist!!!

Hands down the best nail salon! The ladies here are truly artists, have impeccable attention to detail and leave you with nails you cannot get anywhere else! The products are top quality (Japanese gels, toxic free polishes, high end designer products not available at many other salons) leaving you with long lasting, damage free nails. So in love with my nails each time!

First time was a charm I had Lynette. Second time I was with a new girl, she did good despite it was her first day. Leslie did my nails for the second time I went. All the ladies in there do a wonderful job. This is now the only nail salon to touch my nails.

They have the best nail technicians, unfortunately with a front desk like this, you don't even want to come back to have a nice time anymore.

Got a sick gel extension manicure with Claudia. No frills. No BS. Did an awesome job on my ombré gel manicure. My nails look beautiful for wedding season. She gets 5 stars. What doesn't is waiting almost a solid 45 minutes for my pedicure technician, Yessenia. 10-15 minutes and an artist is behind schedule, I'm cool--but effing 45 minutes of my life? It was terrible. And no care from front desk or anything to dull the blow of having to wait this long. I left with no pedicure. I have a flight to catch in the morning and your lack of schedule management is not my problem. Will be back for some and not others.

This is my favorite nail salon in all of Miami. The location is perfect as it's located in the design district and close to many high-end stores making the ambiance feel like you're somewhere else. The salon is very chic, modern and clean. My nail artist is the best! This is definitely the place to go if you're looking for great designs on a gel manicure. So worth every penny!

I had a prior first appointment they let me know an hour before, had to be cancelled. They rescheduled me for the evening days later and I had a random manicurist who was having an extremely bad day. She continued to check, text, and answer her phone while doing my nails from her sister "Bubbles" (I couldn't even make this up, lol) and she began to cut me off when I was trying to answer the questions she was asking. I then asked her point blank why she was being so rude to me and she began cursing at me, screaming, cursing more, and throwing my nail stickers at me. The flustered front desk girl had zero communication skills to handle it. When I asked her why she is raising her voice, screaming, cursing, I was told that's how "they" speak there. So ghetto. The thought that this woman is a mother with such an explosive temper is alarming. At this point I walked out and am happily on my way to a different salon for a last minute appointment (I left with an unfinished manicure) after a traumatic, unexpected experience. The manicurist mentioned once I sat down that money one day will be falling from the sky onto her and I had to try not to laugh. I'll continue to do all my shopping and lunching in the Design District but will stick to other talented nail artists in Miami for my nails and steer clear from that place. Horrific experience. Yikes!

Andrea did an amazing job. She was very attentive and thorough, even accommodated when I needed to step out for a meeting.

I am not too happy with my gel manicure. They do not do a full manicure. They do not soak your hands in water and cut your cuticles. They cut the cuticles while they are dry and it is quite painful. My fingers do not look like I got a manicure, only that I painted globs of paint on my nails. I had a new woman and I do not feel that it was worth $40. I think this place is only good for nail art and you should get a manicure somewhere else

I Love Love Love this place! Rose is the best anything and everything I've ever dreamed of having on my pretty little nails she has accomplished and more! Always leaves me feeling like a super star! Everyone is always nice and friendly you have to go check them out like yesterday!

I love this new nail salon! Brand new and located in Little River, their Nail Artists have serious skills. It was my first time trying nail art, and since I didn't know what I wanted I tried their weekly gel special which was only $40. You can get any design you want, but the fancier it is the pricier. The girl next to me was getting her digits bedazzled with some serious bling, and it was beautiful. A neat thing about this nail salon is the artistic videos played on a projector. Pretty interesting stuff and gives you something to watch while you're getting Swarovski crystals adhered to your party nail. The location seems odd when driving up, but Little River is the next Wynwood right? Overall a great salon. Ask for Gina.

Best nail salon I've ever been to! You can trust that each nail technician is phenomenal and will slay your manicure. Have been going here since they opened and cannot say enough nice things about them, especially now that they have their glamorous design district location. The first thing my out-of-town guests do is book a nail appointment when they come to visit. All of my local friends have made the switch. Highly recommend!

Beautiful space, amazing nail art. My tech wasn't very friendly and seemed super annoyed with every question I'd ask her, so the manicure felt incredibly long... will definitely go back but to different tech. She didn't clean my nails or soak them, just filed away cuticle and filed nails. Very bare bones "manicure". Pretty expensive, $80-110 with tip but worth it for a special occasion. Go here for nail art not a manicure.

It was my first time at VP and I loved it! The staff and the atmosphere were amazing and I can't wait to go back to get a fill! Valentina did my nails and I'm in love with them! She is so talented and a complete sweetheart:) she listened to all my concerns and made sure I was 100% satisfied with my nails. overall, I am very happy with my experience at VP and I will for sure be returning

Amazing nail salon with quality products and people! If you like nail art this place is for you. They use high end Japanese products and the designers are truly gifted people! Ask for Lynette and you won't be disappointed;) Will be back...

The ambience in the salon is very calm and relaxing. I like how it smelled so good when I first walked in. The music was nice, and they have a projector with a presentation or art on the wall instead of TV. I thought that was a creative touch. I hate watching the news when I'm trying to just relax and get my nails done. The ladies were very professional. The salon was very clean. I didn't see any dust or debris on the floor at all. I got a basic Mani/pedi with Kro. She told me about her gel designs which I can't wait to get the next time I go there. The lady at the front desk (I forgot her name) saw that it was raining and braved the wind and rain with me under her umbrella. I felt so bad that she got wet walking me to my car! She was so nice! Thank you ladies! I'll be back; and next time I'll bring an umbrella. Lol

This place a VERY clean and have a very cool look to it. The ladies at the check-in desk is very friendly and very helpful. Leslie is my Favorite nail tech, she pays attention to details and take great care of you. Am happy to visit this place.

I've never been huge on spending money to have my nails done only for them to break off a week later and have to make time to go in again and again. I started doing gels but they destroyed my nails and I was doubtful when a friend recommended VP to me recently. However, my nails are now, after only a couple of months, in the best shape of their lives. They are so healthy from the different kind of gel that is used that I can't even think about biting through them in my nervous moments like I normally would have, especially when they start to fray on the ends after any other manicure I've ever had. I actually went about 6 weeks with the gel fully in tact and until I could make it back in had just painted over what was there. It surprisingly still looked great. I'll never go that long again without seeing Leslie because I'm actually excited for the first time ever to see what new styles are in stock for the weekly specials. These ladies are incredibly talented and this will be a lifelong habit for me to take care of my nails now. I'm so happy i found them and now I don't even have to decide what colors and shapes I want (I'm extremely indecisive!) because I get the specials and trust Leslie with everything else! You can always change them up too, this place is a totally different ballgame than any other nail salon. Cant say enough good things about my experience and all the awesome staff member here.

Love this place! Had rose and she really spent good time getting to know me to figure out how to do my nails art. Great that there is a place that encourages creativity for nails . The place is super hygienic as well. No nail fungus lurking in corners here!

Lucky Miami to have this well thought out and dedicated Nail and Nail Artist Salon here now. Friends whom have visited give a big two thumbs up!

This is the Miami branch of Vanity Project, originally from NYC. I had been insta-stalking the place for a couple of months until I finally made an appointment. I've gone a couple of times and I've always booked the weekly special - look at their Instagram and they post the weekly special - which will cost 40$. I love the gel polish they use, the ladies that run the place are super friendly. They always offer you a Perrier, I like that. Gotta make an appointment to go back

Talented nail artists. Beautiful clean space. Friendly and courteous staff. All around a great place!!

IN LOVE!!!!!!!! I have been going to vanity projects ever since a little after they opened in May and I do not regret it ONCE! These girls are all amazing, every single one. They are always super nice, super funny, super attentive to the customers needs and they always know how to make you leave feeling like a millions bucks Ariela is always on top of SPECTACULAR AND IMPECCABLE customer service, she's extremely knowledgeable, extremely sweet and is ready to do any type of accommodations needed to make your time there amazing. The nail artists are THE BOMB DOT COM! They are always in amazing moods and they loves to keep conversation flowing which I am all about because I hate sitting in silence. They all have amazing attention to detail and hand painting skills that are the most impeccable I have ever seen! Also the place is impeccably clean and the girls are all super hygienic when it comes to their tools. They also offer weekly specials which are always so beautiful and they have some amazing music choices and they have art videos playing on a projector on the wall so you can always have something to look at! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THE ARTISTS!
