WELL COME TO LA VIE NAILS & HAIR

La Vie Nails & Hair provides you with nice nail care while maintaining cleanliness and sterilization. Besides nails, we also provide spa, waxing and hair services for boys, seniors and men.

The salon is run by Trish and John, who look after most guests personally from the moment you sit down. That is why regulars keep coming back for years at a time: the same two pairs of hands do your nails, your brows and your haircut, so nobody has to explain what they like twice.

Every tool is cleaned and sterilized between guests, pedicure bowls are lined and disinfected after each visit, and the room is kept bright and tidy through the day. Files, buffers and single-use items are replaced rather than shared. Guests who are particular about hygiene tend to notice this first, and it is the part of the salon we are proudest of.

Walk-ins are welcome whenever there is a chair free, and we do our best to fit people in around their day. Saturday runs by appointment only, so please call ahead if the weekend is the only time that works for you.

Our Services and Prices

Prices below are our regular in-salon rates. Anything marked with a plus sign depends on length, shape and the design you choose, so ask us for an exact quote when you sit down.

Nails (Set/Fill)

A full set builds your length from scratch; a fill tidies up the regrowth on the set you already wear, usually every two to three weeks. We work in UV gel, solar and acrylic, and finish with dip powder when you want an ombre fade. Tell us the shape and length you are after and we will match it, from a short natural square to a longer almond.

Spa

Our spa list covers everything done on your own nails: shaping, cuticle care, a scrub and massage, then polish or shellac. The deluxe pedicure adds extra soak time, a longer leg massage and a callus treatment, and it is the one to pick if you are on your feet all week.

Waxing

Waxing here is quick and unfussy. Brows are mapped to your face rather than to a template, and larger areas such as legs, arms and back are worked in sections so the appointment stays short. Tinting is available for brows and lashes if you want the shape to read a little stronger without makeup. Come with clean, product-free skin and leave the hair at least a couple of weeks of growth.

  • Upper lip$8
  • Chin$12
  • Neck$15
  • Side burn$15
  • Full face (neck not inc.)$45

Hair

Haircuts at La Vie are kept simple and affordable: clean scissor and clipper work for boys, seniors and men, finished with a neck and outline tidy-up. It suits families who want the kids trimmed while someone else is having nails done, and there is no long wait because the chair sits right in the same room. Bring a photo if you have a specific length in mind.

  • Boy (under 10)$20
  • Senior (over 65)$20
  • Man$25

Prices are subject to change without notice.

I have been going to Trish and John for 4-5 years now. Both my nails and hair are perfect after a visit. I highly recommend this salon. I am a walk-in patron and they always make it work for me. Great people!

Trish and Jon are the two hardest workers I have ever met. They offer the best pedicures I have ever had. Trish does a phenomenal job on my gel nails. She also does an excellent job at brow waxing and for a great price. By far the best salon in Calgary!
