Velvet Nail Bar

I've visited Velvet Nail Bar a couple of times now and each visit has been exactly what I wanted. The nail tech Ruby, listened to what I wanted and executed. She was very thorough with my nails and my toes and offered some helpful advice on how to maintain my nails.

They have a full bar for you to enjoy some Spirits while you are being pampered. Not only do they offer nail services, but they also offer, waxing, threading, facials, and lashes. It's best to book your appointment in advance because they do get busy.

The salon is located in the heart of Downtown Orlando and it is spacious and clean, and the music is not too loud or offensive. It gives you a luxurious vibe that you would enjoy being serviced there.

Really big and clean salon, was very disappointed by the prices. Paid $98 for a gel manicure with builder gel.

I had short nails and no designs. This is usually a $50/60 manicure. I actually liked the place, would of came back if they had normal pricing. So many other nails salons on the same street.

Stopped in with daughter and got a full set.

Clean and comfortable salon. Not alot of chit chat, just good service.


Im not always in the area, but recommend and will schedule appointment

My coworker and I stopped by from out of town. We found this place with great reviews online. It was a weekday afternoon and we only had to wait about 10 minutes to get seated. Both of us started with pedicures. This was only my second pedi ever as I usually have just gotten manis and acrylics in the past. It was great and they had some nice pumice type tool to scrub my dry rough feet. It's been a few days and my feet are still feeling nice and smooth.
They have drinks if you want one while relaxing so I had a mimosa. The chairs are comfy and have massaging settings.
We had a brief chat with Vivian, who did my friends nails. She did a phenomenal job! I had a different person do my pedi from the one who did my hands but both were great. I unfortunately didn't get the name of the guy who did mine but look at the photo! My nails are so cute! And so ready for New Years Eve!

Tip in cash cause it takes a couple weeks for them to get the card tips.

I will be back whenever I am in Orlando for work!

I got a dip manicure here for the first time a few weeks ago, and wanted to wait to see how my nails held up before reviewing. It's been 3 weeks and my dip powder manicure is holding up great!

I will say, for a first time customer, it was easy to book an appointment. However, when I came in for the appointment, I wasn't checked in properly, so I received a call while I was waiting for my time slot asking if I was still coming! Just a little chaotic in the front desk area. I didn't feel the atmosphere was the friendliest unless you already knew all of the nail techs. But my nails came out great and the tech nailed the design I asked for! I'll likely give this place another shot since the quality was good.

I had been going here for awhile and the last time I went in, they charge me for designs I did not get. When I ask why that fee was in there, they said it was actually extra for the gel polish. I went with that and went home. I looked on their website when I got home and the gel polish is INCLUDED with the fill. Then I proceeded to look at past noticed I was ripped off everyvtime with services I did not get! That's my fault for trusting them but I'm curious as to how many of don't actually look at our receipts.

New: I will not be contacting Ashley because Ashley is the one who told me gel polish was an extra charge when according to your website, it's included. I was charged for your most expensive pedicure when I got a basic one. It was always an excuse. Your salon is full of thieves and grumpy workers who rush.

New: And the photo is how Ashley replies to people as a business. You mad mad you got called out for stealing from people.

The online booking system was easy and so was check in when i got there. The staff was nice and so was the pedicure i got. It's truly a relaxing & welcoming space. Would go again many times over

The place in nice and clean and everyone was ; super attentive the services were excellent it's highly recommended; living here or just visiting the city

I've been going there for the last couple years.
I got gelX the last time I went. Bad experience:
1. The nail tech was rush, rough, and grumpy.
She started off by using high grid buffer machine to buff my nail and my cuticles (fast and rough). I told her it's hurt my skin, instead of slow down or changing to the lower and smaller grid buffer, she told me to go watch YouTube that's how they do it. I had to tell her to change the buffer then she changed.

2. I know how gelX is done. They buff the fake nails and lightly buff the person's nail. She skipped the fake nail buffing process and used the high grid buffer machine on my nails instead. I told her I watched YouTube, they buff the fake nails inner surface too so that they can adhere well to the glue. She said no, she doesn't do that and no one complains, they stay for 4 weeks. I let her finish her job but wasn't feeling good about it.

3. She didn't ask if I like the shape or how many color coats I wanted. she just did whatever she wanted FAST cuz she had next customer coming in. I kept telling her and asking her to fix the uneven shape and a crooked nail. She wasn't happy and kept humbling in Vietnamese by herself a few times. She also kept complaining to me that I had to cut my nails a couple times even I told her not to (cuz I've done it before, I know the length of my nail won't affect the adhesive). What affected the adhesive was when she put uneven glue, did not put my nails long enough under the UV light and skipping the fake nails buffing process! Was not a good experience at all. I felt like I was in ER room or sth.

Guess what, after paying $78 for a rush and rough nails job, 2 weeks later the fake nails came off. I went back to fix and paid another $15+tip for 2 nails. Less than week later, they fell off again in the picture cuz she didn't want to buff the fake nail before putting glue on all I see is glue adhere to my nail but not to the fake nail. At this point, I wouldn't go back to pay them to fixed their mistakes again.

Save money and time! Go somewhere else. Nice place but terrible experience.

Ask for Aimee!!

Can't complain about this place ever. Best nail salon in Orlando, and I've tried A TON to find my favorite. They give you a complimentary drink (WINE) with every session, their techs are friends and amazing, and I always get exactly what I hope for when getting my nails done. No complaints! A beautiful shop, too.
