Envidia Spa

Love this place! I usually go with the owner Carmela. She is amazing. I always get the perfect manicure and pedicure. The entire staff are great. Very professional and friendly environment.

This was my first time getting my nails done here and I must say I am very impressed. Nice atmosphere, no waiting, great staff, and most importantly, amazing nails. I am never going anywhere else.

I’ve been here twice already & I absolutely love their service! I am extremely picky with mani/pedi’s and have walked out of there with flawless work (clean cuticles & perfect paint job with perfect edges) both times. I plan on coming here from now on being that it’s so close to home as well!

This is the best place ever … I’m super Happy! Blanca was amazing super detailed and very nice !!!

So I think I found my new spot for manicures and pedicures. Jenny did my pedicure a few weeks ago, and although you have to be patient as she takes her time, it is so worth it because the end result is near perfection, if not so. Today I went in for my first gel manicure there, and again, it did take longer than I planned for as I went during my lunch break, but it is probably the best manicure I’ve had EVER. Highly recommend.

For all the ladies who are just as picky as I am when it comes to your mani– you won’t regret this place. I was out of town for 2 months and my nails were the worst they’ve ever been, and Yvonne did an amazing job with my nails. So happy!

Envidia is by far the best nail salon in Miami. I’ve been a loyal customer for nearly two years. I have a standing biweekly appointment that I attend religiously.
I’ve seen most of the technicians at least once and they’re all meticulous with their work. The owner, Carmela, personally trains each technician to ensure a perfect manicure/​pedicure each and every time. The salon is clean, warm and welcoming. I’ve always had a wonderful experience at Envidia.

I have been going to this nail salon for almost a year now. I simply love Leidy she is such an amazing technician and really takes her time. Each appt is about 1hr and 45 min. Definitely recommend Envidia.

I’m definitely going back to this salon. Everyone here is so nice, friendly, and definitely know what their doing. My nails look flawless. They took the extra time to go above and beyond the average nail salon. I got a regular mani and pedi, which took about two hours for $ 35. I definitely recommend Envidia Spa!

I was in search for my mani go-​to place and I can say the search is over. I’m very picky with my nails (cuticles and a good paint job are priority). I’ve gotten my nails done with both Jenny and Leidy and they are awesome! I’ve also seen all the other women’s work and no doubt that whoever you get them done with will do a great job. They take their time and do your nails as if they were theirs. Highly recommend if you want a good mani/​pedi.

Envidia Spa is one of a kind, I have been going here since they first opened and I am extremely meticulous about my nails! Blanca is amazing, her work is perfection, she is extremely nice, and she does the cutest designs on my nails. Carmela the owner is so divine she is such a beautiful woman inside and out. The other nail techs are phenomenal as well, and Leidy does amazing wax! I have NEVER left unhappy or unsatisfied from Envidia spa. Everyone makes you feel like family and you look forward to getting your nails done. Thank you Blanca, Carmela, and the rest of the girls at Envidia Spa you girls are truly the best in Miami!

I’m loyal to my guy over at Château Nails but when news broke that he went back home for a lengthy vacation I panicked; who was going to replace my guy, who was going to put up with me telling them to go over my cuticles again?! I’m a day away from a vacation myself & my nails were baaaad, luckily I can across Envidia on Unilocal (I happened to be in my bf’s neighborhood) I read the reviews & took one look at the pictures & didn’t waste a second longer. I called & a very nice lady set me up with an appointment the same day & gave me directions to get there. I walked in at 4:03 & my lady was already set up to take care of me. I wasn’t given any attitude or lip about being 3 mins late. (Yeah it’s happened to me before) These ladies are by far the sweetest & most helpful manicurists I’ve come across. The place is super chic & no Tv’s playing bootleg movies or loud music and best yet no kids under 12! I will be back for sure. I’m taking my guy leaving as a sign more so a nail blessing. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve never ended up at Envidia. Love this place! Oh & guess who didn’t have to say one word about their cuticles, this girl right here

I never write reviews, but I’m so impressed I needed to share. I got a gel manicure a week and a half ago and it still looks flawless. It looks like I got my nails done yesterday. The location is small and not glamorous, but the attention to detail on my nails was nothing short of impeccable. I’m going again this week ONLY because I’m due with my baby soon and I want to get my nails freshly done before she arrives so I can feel human during her first few weeks in even the smallest way possible, but if I wasn’t juggling her pending arrival I could go well past another week with out needing a touch up.

As a very picky individual that I am about many things. I’m just as meticulous about manicures and pedicures. In my lifetime, or at least as long as I’ve been having mani /​pedi’s I’ve had possibly 3 individuals work as well as my experience at Envidia Nail Spa.
I’m a loyal customer, but unfortunately due to distance & work schedule I had to «divorce «my former manicurist
On a Monday evening I was on Kendall drive and I decided to Unilocal «nails » … Much to my surprise I see a rating of 5* with 80+ reviews, Envidia Nail Spa. Since it was a Monday I figured they were closed and was going to leave a vm message .
Well Carmela the owner answers and was kind enough to give me an appointment that same week. I was floored !!
The place is very clean, the girls are «on time» and ALL the girls are meticulously trained by her.
Meaning you can’t go wrong with any. If you have cuticle and want a very clean seamless manicure THIS is the place to go to. I can’t stress enough how meticulous the girls are about a clean nail .No children under the age of 12 allowed (which I think is a +, I have children of my own and I know how stressful it can be having kids around when you’re trying to relax .for that)
Also don’t expect a 30 minute rushed manicure. They girls take their time and do an EXCELLENT job. They specialize in gel mani’s too.

First time here, the ladies were friendly and assisted me with color selection. My technician took her time and with great care removed my cuticles, which have always been a mess. She did a great job. Total appt time was close to 2 hrs for shellac Mani. I think I found my new spot.

Definitivamente el mejor y más perfecto shellac!!!
Aquí existe el mejor servicio al cliente, es un spa donde puedes encontrar un servicio perfecto y relajarte al mismo tiempo…

It was my first time getting my nails done here and I have to say it was great! I got shellac manicure and pedicure with Carmela. She is the sweetest! I came in with a couple design ideas I wanted. I showed her and she advised me on the best colors to use and helped me bring my idea to life! She was super nice and thoughtful the whole time. I have really sensitive skin and she was so kind to not leave the chemicals on my skin too long. A little ouchy here and there when she was trimming the skin around my nails but beauty knows no pain! haha She’s open to doing most designs and she will let you know what she feels comfortable doing beforehand. They got me in the same I called for the appointment as well which was very nice of them! All in all, I really enjoyed having my nails done at this salon and will be returning!
Tip: they have parking! A big plus in Miami!

Came to Envidia Nails today for a gel manicure and pedicure and was very pleased with their services. They were very clean and both services were done beyond my expectations. All nail technicians work very well from what I could see and they were all very detailed. Super excited to come back for my next appointment. Definitely would recommend to anyone in need of a nail salon.

I had Leydi and she did such a great job. I highly recommend and the price is great. $ 25 for shellac gel

The best nail tech in Miami. Come to see us you gonna love it. The picky please the best please

I am SO picky when it comes to my mani-​pedi experiences and Envidia did not let me down. The space relaxing and clean. The nail technicians are really nice and talented. I opted for a gel manicure for the first time ever and I am really liking them :) Overall best nail place I’ve been to so far!

Found this clean and relaxing nail salon on Unilocal.As I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner and chose my nail color. There was no wait time. Lady walked me to my chair, took her time and my nails came out great. I had a regular pedicure and shellac manicure (total time was 2hours). The owner was there walking around the salon making sure the customers are pleased. Everyone I had contact with spoke English which is nice in Miami. Staff was friendly and I will definitely go back.

From the moment I walked in to the second I walked out with my fabulous nails I had a splendid expierence. Jenny was my nail tech and she was beyond amazing. She was full of great energy along with the rest of the staff and their clients, I felt right at home. This place is truly a gem! I almost didn’t want to share it and keep it to myself BUT Jenny deserves this review, she’s everything. After this expierence I am defitnetly a regular. (:

I really, really wanted to love this nail salon. Truly, I did.
But, as I type this, I am literally cringing with the memory of my mani experience.
I booked an appointment with my friend, Marlene, to try this location out as I saw it has raaaave reviews and is (as you can see) rated 4.5 stars. We scheduled ourselves for just a manicure so that we could see what all the hype was about.
When we got in, we weren’t greeted by anyone. We just sort of wandered the front area and checked out the seating area/​polishes while we waited for someone to say hello. Someone eventually said — «Select your color.»
So we picked out what we wanted/​showed what we wanted, and were seated with our nail techs.
I had Jenny/​Yeny. I thought she would be fab because everyone else on Unilocal says she is, and I’ll admit that she did a great job on the actual mani as you’ll be able to see via my pictures. But, she was super cold (which is fine; after all, I’m there for a manicure, not a gossip sesh), but it would have been nice if she was just a tad bit warmer/​smiley. Again, not a huge drawback.
What did appall me was how rough she was with my cuticles. I mean, she had some blunt square-​tipped instrument and was shoving back on my cuticles to the point of pain. Even when I repeatedly went, «Ow — ow!» she didn’t back off. Then she turned that square tip on its corner and scrapes — I mean, SCRAPES — out whatever cuticle meat is hanging onto your skin and rips it out. Then she proceeds to cut away whatever excess cuticle is left (no pain with this piece).
That is what killed me. I was honestly sweating, as I sat in my chair, and dazedly asking myself why I was torturing myself to this degree for cute nails. Seriously. I had not experienced the likes of this torture by cuticle removal — ever. In addition, she cut me through this process in a few places. At one point, I thought: «Is that blood? Wait, Liane, don’t be paranoid — maybe it’s a shadow? No… too red. OMG that’s blood!!» Not once did she apologize for any of this or gentle her ministrations.
She had some backup bottle of bright blue liquid that she then dabbed over the blood (which A — does not seem sanitary by ANY means, and B — she had dropped on the floor, so goodness knows what other grime was on the tip of that opened bottle).
I have to say — she did work meticulously and cleaned up my cuticles well (so if you can handle pain well, maybe this place is for you). BUT, my friend’s nail tech also cut her up and she had plenty of bloody cuticles that were quickly «attended» to with that bottle of blue.
Then, when we went to leave, the owner came out and essentially scolded us for «missing» our last appt. (She even went looking for the confirmation texts she had sent me on 1 iphone, and then a «backup?» iphone she had.) She proceeded to explain that they had «waited» for us. Which is ridiculous because I remember getting to my phone, calling her back, and then being told that our appts were no longer available since I did not text/​call her back right away. So… I didn’t understand the point of her 5 minute spiel, but I just smiled and nodded as I paid. Basically… we made it to this appt — what’s the point of bringing up the prev one? Do you really want to attempt to guilt trip your customers?
Anyway, Marlene and I agreed that at most this was a 3-​star experience.
The reason I dropped this to a 2-​star experience is because my right ring finger hurts like a fother mucker. Just typing this review incenses the fingertip because it is both tender and swollen (from where I was cut pretty badly). I’ll be posting the pictures so you can see. So yeah… not going back, lol.

Yeny is amazing takes her time and makes sure everything is perfect. I waited 1 month for my appointment and i will cancel everything to go there.

Super happy that I found this place. They provide an excellent customer service. Jenny was very sweet and very professional. I am going to recomend this place to all my friends and family. Very impress with my shellac manicure. Thank you to all the staff I cannot wait to come back in two weeks.

Monica hizo mi manicura, el mejor que me han hecho en mi vida. Tengo 22 años, eh pagado el doble, y nunca me habían hecho tan buen trabajo.
Buena atención y buen servicio por un buen precio, definitivamente encontré mi spa.
I had my nails done with Monica and is the best manicure i have had in my life. I’m 22 years old, I have paid twice the amount, but I have never been more pleased with the job.
Good attention and a good services for a good price, I have definitely found my spa.

Visited Envidia Spa for the first time today. The ambiance was very relaxing and all the girls working there were very professional. The place itself is quaint, low key, and very clean! I had my mani/​pedi done with Carmela. She was running late, so she sent me a text to advise.
The Mani/​Pedi itself was excellent. They really take their time and take great pride in their work. When going to a new manicurist I always do a red color to test them out. Carmela did an excellent job with the red color. She’s a keeper ;)
Would definitely recommend this Spa!

Hands down the best nail experience I have ever had. From the nice little area, to all of the positive energy, to my extremely detailed mani/pedi…I was blown away! I have gone to several nail salons searching for one nail salon that would pay attention to the detail instead of trying to finish with their customers as soon as possible.
This place does exactly that. It was a little painful with the cuticles because they really dig in. I didn’t mind because I knew that most likely the end result would be beautiful!!! And that it was. If you’re very very sensitive, I wouldn’t suggest coming here but honestly it is really worth it. Great customer service! Everyone was very very nice. I enjoyed my time here.

Very meticulous and neat. I had Blanca do my shellac manicure and although I don’t live in Miami, I’ll def be coming back when I’m in town and due for a mani. I don’t like to really talk because id rather have the manicurist be focused on my nails and she provided that for me. Only con was that she accidentally nicked two of my cuticles but it wasn’t enough for me to take away a star because she was very apologetic and I know it was an accident. The price was decent; paid $ 30 for a French shellac manicure.

Now that I have been a client here since April… a more extensive review is required.
Honestly, there is no place like Envidia!
I’ve only had nails done with Blanca/​Jenny but I can tell the owner and the third manicurist, Monica are obviously magical at what they do as well!
Appointments are difficult to get but not impossible, and totally worth waiting a few weeks for one ;) As they ONLY take appointments, you never have to wait to start your appointment. They are always ready!
A mani pedi lasts two hours but it goes by so quick and it’s nice to disconnect from the world during this time. They are the best at detail — cutting cuticle, paint jobs, filing, everything. Cuticles are painful as they really get every last bit of them out and in the end they look perfect so it’s worth it. I would not try if you are way too sensitive but it’s something I’ve gotten used to so if you are looking for a great place come to Envidia and get used to it, your nails will thank you.
It’s a small place so whether your appoint is at 10am or 4pm, there’s never more than 3 or 4 clients in there which I absolutely love. There’s a wide choice of polish and gel/​shellac is paired with a regular polish for mani/​pedi. Gel mani pedi is $ 48 but it does not even hurt to pay that because I can get my nails done and they will last all the way until my next appt 3 weeks later!
They confirm appts via text the day before which I love, the parking is always great, and I ALWAYS look forward to coming here! Basically, I am never leaving Kendall after finding Envidia Spa.

It took me forever to write this review but here I am doing it… FINALLY!!!
So on my birthday I was looking for a place to get my nails done and Envidia Spa had a perfect rating so I went there and they were booked so I ended up at another place that served the purpose but Envidia was on my mind so I went back when it was time to get them done again, and WOW!!! I was impressed from the moment you walk in you are greeted by Carmela, the Italian owner. Jenny was my technician, she is very meticulous, I am definitely happy with her, she’s not that talkative, but I don’t mind that at all, I rather have her concentrated on my cuticles that need some TLC.
I can say that I found my nail salon, finally.
Give them a chance. You’ll be happy you did.

Okay so I got hands down the best manicure that I have ever received. However, it was also the most painful manicure and pedicure ever. I think I bled from almost every finger and some of my toes. I have never experienced such a harsh manicure. But wow the results were incredible but I wish they were more gentle on the cuticles.
