This review is primarily for my lash girl, Rachael. She does an incredible job for the convenience of being in Gaithersburg and for a more reasonable price. I used to drive all the way to DC and had to pay for parking and more for my lashes but now I go to Rachael. She has a small private room in the back of a nail salon (which also looks really pretty and clean). I go for a lash lift and tint and haven't looked back! read more

Got my nails replaced and couldn't be happier! Lisa was my tech. She took her time and did my nails to perfection. Very clean and quiet. Think I've found my new salon. read more

Absolutely love this nail salon! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. The staff was friendly, professional, and really took their time to make sure everything was perfect. Every time I go, my nails are exactly what I ask for. The staff pays great attention to detail and the quality of work is outstanding. I would highly recommend A & B Nail Salon! read more

BEWARE: The most SUBPAR PEDICURE I've ever had at a price of $85! True waste of money! 1. Don't waste time with their premium service, because you have a 50/50 chance at subpar results 2. Don't have Rachel give you a pedicure unless you feel like micromanaging her subpar service 3. Don't expect customer service from the (young gentleman) manager, even when you go back kindly the very next day I tried out A&B nails for the first time yesterday and I purchased the TOP TEIR $85 pedicure + $15 for gel. My tech RACHEL was super sweet; but she rushed through the actual pedicure, only to spend a ridiculous amount of time on painting (gel) my toes. While she was painting, I watched the lady next to me get the same exact pedicure and actual receive exfoliation, callous remover, etc. That tech knew what she was doing. Anyhow, I brought to myher attention the difference in a very polite way and she said "sorry", but she already drained all of the water. My feet were so lubed up with lotion when I left that I didn't see how dry, cracked and untreated my feet (esp heels and toes) were until that night. I came back to show them this morning and have them actually exfoliate as per their service and the young manager consulted 2 other techs who couldn't even be bothered to look up from their phones. But they indicated in their language I got the service I paid for and there was nothing I could do. My feet today essentially look the same as when I walked in yesterday, except for the polish and I let them know my review was coming. They didn't care... Save yourself the trouble and don't go here unless you want to gamble with your money. I asked for a partial refund for the service I didn't receive. I'll be disputing the charge with my credit card. This is ridiculous. read more

Yes, the place is so cleaning and people work here so nice .I'm ready for my next appointment . The music and chairs massage

My nail is a little grown from when I first got them but they did a really cool design where every time you move them, the heart grows larger or smaller. They were very beautiful and very intricate and they make you feel comfortable. Staff is really kind here and this is the only reliable nail spa I will go to. I love their lotion at the end! read more

It was a good day to pamper my princess and myself. We called for an appointment and was in the shop within 1 hour. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed. The service was amazing. read more

Service went down hill drastically after the pandemic started. You would think this is when they would kick the service up a notch with less and less people getting beauty services done. Not this place. Tee made it seem like I was an inconvenience anytime I called to make an appointment. It was always a problem and she was always unwilling to accommodate. It was around New Years and my appointment was at 6:30p since I get off at 6p and work in Virginia. I told Tee I would try my hardest to get there at 6:15p but could not guarantee. I called around 6:08p to tell Tee I wouldn't get there until 6:30p and she said she wasn't going to stay for me. Needless to say, I have thus found another salon and nail technician. read more

I've always had a good experience here! Ive been seeing Kim for about 3 years now and would recommend this salon to anyone!

I came in today, showed them my nail inspiration picture and they recreated it perfectly! And the customer service is really great. Every single person that came in was greeted and they knew many of their customers by name! I would recommend booking your appointments ahead of time because they get pretty busy. read more

I like places that use the internet in their business practices. This place you call to place an appointment, and they sent a text to confirm. Then I get a text the day of the appointment. When you arrive, input your phone #. The salon is clean and friendly. They usually have some soft inoffensive music going, and the tv on silent with subtitles. I go for pedi's with my daughter every 6 weeks. They can usually accommodate both of us at once. All of the ladies do good work for a decent price. This has been the best salon consistently, after spending a year or so trying different places when I moved to the area, with hit or miss results. I now have a salon that I enjoy and trust! read more

I called early on a Sunday morning to schedule a pedicure and asked for a 4 pm slot. I received a call around 2 ok asking if I could come in any sooner and I was able to make it at 3:15. I later realized that I was the last appointment of the day. I can appreciate that they didn't want to wait around on me. I was nicely greeted when I entered and the girl who did my pedicure was fairly gentle. She was thorough with scrubbing my feet and cleaning my toes and the design was pretty cute. The shop was very clean and smelled great. I like this salon and would go back. read more

Unfortunately, I have to rate this nail spa poorly. I had a 4 pm appointment today that I made in advance. I rearranged my schedule to be there on time and I was. Unfortunately, they were unable to put me with a nail tech until 4:47 pm (47 minutes after my original appointment time). I am understanding of a 15 minute grace period but this was far too long to wait when I made an appointment in advance. While they did a good job and worked quickly once I was seen, it was not a pleasant experience when I was not told at the forefront that they were running so far behind. I have had good experiences at this salon before and it is very cute. However, instead of telling me they were running so far behind, they took off my polish right away and had me wait there for 47 minutes. Had I known at the beginning, I would've left and come back another time. The way their online appointment system is done online, they couldve not accepted my appointment time or countered with another time or not accepted my request. Here they did accept my request days in advance. Honor your appointment times or do not accept appointments in advance. read more

I have tried several nail salons in the area but was not really satisfied with their services. Today I went to A&B Nail Salon based on reviews and walked out one very happy customer. The Salon is clean and well organized and my technician was great! Amy took her time to really make my nails (mani-pedi) perfect. I will definitely return. read more

This place is so good!! I did gel full set and pedicure, cost $80 for both... They check our temp& sanitize hands before we start. The place is so cozy and clean. So its 5 star! read more

Always accommodating. The whole staff here is friendly and helpful. I have been getting SNS dip nails for several months. The salon is clean, tools are clean and they have a wide selection of colors. I'd recommend to call first to request an appointment, however, walk-ins are welcome, too! read more

I went in for a deluxe pedicure with gel polish. The whole experience was wonderful and my feet look great! Will definitely return.

I scheduled in advance, and Nina did a full set of gel. It was very beautiful and she was super attentive to detail. She is very quick compared to other salons that I've been to but she still does a great job. I have been going to the salon for a while now, and I am never disappointed. Definitely would recommend.! read more

This is the place to go if you want good quality customer service and in my book, pretty much perfect nails! I've been going to Ty for years now after I found her at her past workplace and I have been so happy working with her. Clean lines and great shape! They have a great selection of polishes (good quality) for regular manicure as well as for gel. They also offer the Parafeen service complimentary!! I have never had it done before because they always charge and I didn't know what I was missing but wow! Ty dipped my hands in a wax bath, let them dry, and peeled the wax off a few minutes later. I was just there and because it's the winter, my hands were very dry and after the Parafeen was peeled off, my skin was left so much softer and not dry at all! It was great! I live in Boston now but I come here when I am back in town at every chance I get. Great customer service, polish selection, hours, and best of all, everyone is so friendly. read more

A & B Nail Spa - My perfect nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've lived in the area for 2 years now & have been trying nail salons all over the area trying to find my favorite one - I am at ease to have finally found A&B nail spa ! I am obsessed with my nails & toes every time I leave here. They are kind, they take their time & talented in what they do. read more

Came here on a whim to get my acrylic nails soaked off. The lady who did my nails was great! She really took her time to soak and file my nails off and make sure she didn't do any additional damage. I've been to so many other places where they will actually pull the nail off instead of soaking it off, not this place though! Great experience! read more

I have been a customer of Ty's for over 5 yrs. Hadn't been to see her in a while because I moved to Laurel. I make an appointment with her for a full set and Pedi for NYE(12/30). Sunday at work I noticed some of my nails were lifting (5 nails). I attempted to call them 3 times on Monday to let them know about the nails, but they were closed. So Tuesday I call and speak to a manager I assume (I requested the Manager), state that my nails are lifting and they told me to come in and they would fix them. I clearly stated I didn't want my nails fixed I wanted my money for my full set back. I was told no problem just to come in. I went in the store and showed them my nails, they were only going to offer to "fix" the nails. But any nail professional (who's truthful) will tell you not to get a fill or drill your nails until the 2 weeks mark. When I stated this they stated yes you have to come back!?! Ridiculous!!! And the entire time I'm at the front complaining, Ty never said anything to me never even really made eye contact SMH. Just her, the man at the front, and another lady kept going back and forth in their own language. EXTRA unprofessional!! Until now I've never had a issue like this and how this was handled shows that they really don't value their returning customer's, they look at every client as $$$. Maybe I'm weird, but if you ruined my nails there's no way I'm sitting back in your chair and let you mess them up again. Never returning here and I'm pissed because my job involves my hands and this looks tacky AF!!! Won't get anymore of my money. The pictures I uploaded will show how jacked up they look after 3 MF days read more

Still happy and still coming to Ty!!! She is gold!!! They have all precautions needed for COVID, plexi glass,surveys, they take your temperature, now is by appointment only....they follow the guidelines and that is important to me... Amazing nails read more

Walked in on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Attended right away. Easy parking, easy and friendly staff. My nail tech was very attentive- always asking me to check her work before moving onto the next step. The nail salon had a great nail color selection. I did find paying $50+ for a basic mani/pedi rather overpriced. $27 Regular Pedicure $15 Regular Manicure $10 for Acrylic soak-off Tip accepted in cash only! read more

Steven is great! Loves football just like me, so we chat about it while doing my nails. Can't wait to go back to him! Clean establishment, everyone is so nice and happy to help. Highly recommend this place. Ty is great at pedicures. read more

I went to this salon based on all the reviews I admit the salon is very nice, clean, and inviting. Wherever I get my nails done I always request gel because of the type of work I do and they indeed have lasted me two plus weeks. Unfortunately in this picture it is only 6 days after. Very disappointed and upon calling they didn't give me the courtesy of telling me they would take care of it they just said "come in and we will see" poor customer service. I will be going back and update my review later *******************UPDATE***************** So I went back and I was told that it has already been a week...but like I explained I paid much more here than at a place where it lasts up to 2 weeks. Then I was taken to not just get my index finger fixed but three others that also needed work. I will be coming back (because it's so close) but I will ask for a different technician read more

I'm screaming from the top of the roof this place is amazing staff is friendly the atmosphere is relaxing and luxurious my nail technician Tina is the bomb I found my home and my hands and feet are estatic. Today I got the nail dipping powder service and it comes with complementary hot wax dipping for you hands. Their price point is a bit more expensive but it's worth it they have great reviews on Yelp and it's all true that's why I stop by. From the outside it doesn't look like much but once you enter it's clean bright and shiny everything looks brand new offer every service manicures, pedicures, eyebrows, lash extensions, etc.. and it's a good idea to call and make an appointment because they are busy but they do offer a walk-in you my have to wait a little bit but it's worth the wait. I can't wait to go back for my next appointment in three weeks to work quality is outstanding the professionalism of the staff exceptional.. still the best in town Tina. read more

Nice conversation and good attention to detail. No wait on a Saturday afternoon. Used new packaged equipment for each person. Hi to the prank caller who just called me here! If you're with Yelp invite me to be Elite 2017! Lol, that was pretty good! You got me! read more

Nina is the best. The service it's amazing the only thing is that they do take a little longer then a normal salon, but it's worth it.

Bad customer service. I went in on a Friday afternoon and was told it would be 15 minutes wait for a pedicure. After 20 minutes I asked how much longer and they assured me only a few more minutes. After 10 more minutes I said if it's going to take longer I need to leave and they told me it would only be 10 more minutes like I'd think it'd be good news. I walked out immediately. Who knows how long I really would've waited. While I was there a group of 3 women walked in and were treated similarly. Who knows, they may do great nails, but their terrible customer service was enough to keep me from finding out. Also there were fly traps in the bathroom...not what you want to see when you're expecting cleanliness. read more

Kim T is the IT GIRL! Kim T has done my nails for years, she also does my mom's nails and my sister's nails, and my boss asked if she could join me one day at "your nail salon". I get compliments all of the time on my nails, even when traveling overseas for work. Kim is patient, she takes her time and does excellent work. She does great eyebrows also! The salon is clean, relaxing, the nail techs are the best, nice, welcoming, cheerful and funny. I really enjoy my twice a month visit with Kim T., Kim V. Mimi, Tee, Vivianne, Nina and Kevin! A great place with great people who do great work! read more

WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY COMING HERE KIM V is the worst Had to tell her to stop because she didn't want to do my nails the way I wanted them, "her way was better" After she messed my nails she was trying to force me to soak my nails on acetone. read more

Been going for a few months so I got my nails done and they looked terrible after a couple days they said come back so I come back and they aren't happy to re do them which I understand so we argue about it because they don't want to honor their word of re doing them so they tell me they will just re do them at a discount price at this point i don't care I just want my nails done so I agree they wrap my nails and I'm waiting about 30 mins and they hand me 25$ and tell me to just go somewhere else to get them done and they don't even finish taking the nails off I have never been so upset in my life they are nice people when you let them do whatever they want but when you call them out they don't treat you right read more

I came here for my wedding day manicure and pedicure back in June. It was my mom, my sister in law and me and we all had a great experience. The salon is clean and very comfortable, and the service was great. I can't remember the aesthetician I had, (Tia maybe?) But she was really patient as I talked through different options for my big day. I knew I wanted to do a subtle glitter type thing and she was super helpful nailing down (ha ha) what I ended up going with on the gel manicure. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon just to have my eyebrows waxed. Kim did them for me and she did a great job. She was very nice and informative as well. I told her I wanted them "not too thick but not to thin either." She knew exactly what I meant and they came out to my liking. It was very calm inside and not many people were there. From what I saw, it was clean and the rest of the techs were friendly. I saw Kim pull out a fresh pedicure kit to use for a lady that was waiting on her, which I love. I also love when the person doing my eyebrows does NOT rest their wrist on my mouth. That is the most disgusting thing ever and it turns me all the way off. Kim did none of that and I was very thankful! She also did a great job cleaning up after waxing. I will definitely be back for my eyebrows and likely other services as well. read more
