I have been seeing Kimi for years, and on the off chance she's busy, others have taken me. They are all exceptionally good. I don't get fancy nail art, so I cannot speak to that, but the quality of the pedicure is without compare. You get excellent attention to your cuticles and a very generous massage. The shop is clean and modern, and it's in the Ballston Quarter. read more

This nail salon was very clean and all the employees were very attentive during my service. I would recommend coming here for both manicure and pedicure and if you want to be serviced in a timely manner. My specific tech was Mai and she made sure I was comfortable throughout my service. read more

Allure Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Allure Nail Spa is my go-to place for both kids' and adult manicures and pedicures. The staff is patient, gentle, and always welcoming. They know how to make adults feel relaxed while still making the experience pleasant for my daughter. The salon is clean and bright, and they never rush through the service. My nails always come out smooth and well-shaped, and the polish lasts. If you're looking for a spot that handles both adults and kids with care, Allure Nail Spa is easy to recommend. I see Kimmy, but all the staff seem experienced and kind. read more

I've been here a few times- can't beat the convenience. Last time I did a walk-in. Michelle was meticulous and gentle. She did not rush. I got the Ocean Spa Pedicure and it was really good. This time I also did a walk-in on a Sunday night an hour before closing. I had Sophie and did the Ocean Spa pedicure again. She was patient, gentle, and caring. Love the staff here There was soothing music in the background and I liked the massage chair. read more

I have mixed interactions at this place. I've gone myself and it's been fine - no issues with my manicure and pedicure. My MIL also had no issues. I recently sent my husband here and he came back with his finger bleeding (from when they pulled the dead skin). The fact that he came to find me in the mall with his finger still bleeding is strange. I suppose accidents can happen but this was bizarre. I would come back but i'd be cautious. read more

Very nice place ...everyone here is so nice and helpful. I normally get a gel manicure and pedicure. Never complained once! It's the only place I'm going to. Even if I have to go out if my way. My favorite person is Kimmy...ask for her and you won't be disappointed I promise! read more

Lana is amazing and does a fantastic job on my hands and feet. She takes her time and is very thorough. I never feel rushed when she does my manicures and pedicures. She is a pro! Make an appointment with Lana today! read more

Great pedicure! Stopped in while my oldest kid was upstairs at a birthday party. The ambiance was great and they even tolerated giving my little one a manicure. My legs felt SO SMOOTH afterwards! Mango pedicure for the win. My only complaint is they told me it was ok to put my shoes on afterwards (I had sneakers on) and my nails weren't dry yet. read more

Lana is the best! She squeezed me in last minute and did an amazing job. definitely coming back!

Such a great place to get your nails done! I've been coming to Allure Nail Spa for ~4.5 years now. The service and staff are wonderful. I highly recommend Lana for nail services. Kimmy is great too! read more

I've been going to Lana at Allure Nails for a long time. Her attention to detail is unlike anything I've seen before. Regardless of how busy the shop is, she always takes her time and makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend her! read more

I went to get a pedicure and my experience was top notch! I love the hospitality so much so that I was taken care of even though I have no appointment. I recommend! Also, the salon offer free little snacks read more

I've given Allure Spa so many chances over the years, hoping things would improve, but every visit just ends in disappointment. I came in for a pedicure after months of taking a break, thinking maybe time had changed things. Unfortunately, it hadn't. The issue this time wasn't even with the nail service--it was the careless way I was treated as a customer. While trying to "help" me get settled, the pedicurist grabbed my bag and my brand-new Stanley tumbler without asking and jammed it into a cup holder that was clearly too small. It immediately crashed to the floor with a loud bang. My 40 oz Stanley was left dented and cracked. She apologized and said she felt bad, but not bad enough to offer any sort of discount or resolution. I still paid $42 for a very average pedicure, tipped, and walked out pretending I was okay, but I was absolutely not. Between poor service, lack of accountability, and this last frustrating experience, I won't be coming back. read more

I've been here twice and both times had SNS. Once with tips added and once without. This most recent time I got SNS manicure. It's been a week and a half and 4 of my nails have either broken in half or popped off completely. I have a couple others that are lifting at the base. I routinely get my nails done with dip powder and gave this place a try because I recently moved to Ballston. I've never had so many nails break in such a short period of time. I usually get my nails done every three weeks, but that is because of growth, not breakage. I'll be going somewhere else to get these removed and replaced. I will say, I was happy when I got my pedicure here the first time I came. The environment is relaxing and the workers are friendly, but if you want dip nails that last, I'd avoid. read more

Allure Nail Spa - SNS manicure after a week and a half. Other hand not pictured also has one broken nail. - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I've been a loyal customer for some time, but my recent visits have left me disappointed. After having my nails damaged and over-filed by one of the techs a few weeks ago, my nails are now thin, weak, and have been breaking and bending badly. Despite her offering me free repairs and acknowledging that my nails are now thin, my nails are still in bad condition. After my most recent visit, I noticed my nails smudging a few hours after I left, and they don't look professionally done. My nails are all different shapes, and the polish looks very clumpy and unevenly applied. I'm really disappointed because I've always supported this salon, tipped generously, and spoke highly about this place. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Came here for a pedicure with one of my friends and had a great experience with Kimberly. We were walk ins and were seen pretty immediately, which was surprising to me. I love the gel selection and although I am not a fan of DND polishes, everything went well. I had the ocean pedicure with gel and a fill on two acrylic toes. Kimberly was meticulous, my shape is perfect, and the polish was applied very well. I will say the massage could be firmer/better though. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the prices. A $25 up-charge for gel is ridiculous as well as $15 extra for acrylic fill on only two toes. I loved my experience overall, but $95 for a pedicure before tip is definitely not a norm. Overall I'd definitely come back to Kinberly if im in the area/want more of a selection of colors than I am used to read more

If you don't call ahead to make an appointment then prepare to wait FOREVER. They are very slow in this salon, so even though your nails may look nice, prepare for mani/pedi to take 2 hours or more. read more

Another fantastic gel mani and pedi. I have had different people each time and they are all fantastic. The gel last the full two weeks. They have updated the inside to a nice chill vibe. read more

I went to Allure in hopes of finding a new nail salon that was close to my house as I had been finding some smaller issues with my current salon...this could not have been a bigger mistake. I do not have one good thing to say about this place. It was completely empty at 6pm and now I understand why. I got an SNS manicure with tips and I already had gel on my nails. Some of my nails are uneven on the surface, there is still dip powder on the skin around my nails, and the service took two full hours which is insane. To make matters worse it was more expensive than the place I usually go, and when I got home I realized that the gel/dip powder hadn't been fully cured and my nails were soft and flexible. Thankfully they hardened overnight. Do not spend your money here! read more

So I decided to try this place based on some of the good reviews and passing by in the mall one day it looks pretty nice, I'm so glad I did! SUPER clean and very covid safe, all the floors were clean and stations. I made a reservation however it wasn't busy at all on a Friday afternoon (which was a plus). I like to relax when I get my nails done and not have a busy salon, so this was great! I got the ocean spa pedicure for $55 and a SNS dip manicure for 50 both were outstanding. The pedi she really took the time and detail, very relaxing! For the SNS dip she let me see a couple colors before I finally picked, which was extremely nice! 10/10 go here!! read more

I have been to this location twice now. Both times I had a gel manicure and regular pedicure performed. The customer service here could use some work, no one really speaks or greets you. However the service provided is great. The nail techs do a fabulous job of spending time on the massage for the pedicure, I work on my feet all day and this is my favorite part. The massage during the manicure is also great but wish it were a bit longer. My only complaint was the last time I went my manicure lasted less than a week, unfortunately I wasn't able to return to have it fixed. I may have gotten an older polish or it wasn't set properly. The location is very clean, i usually spend about $70-75 for both which is very reasonable. Overall, I would recommend this nail salon, it's not over priced, it's clean, and the services are great. They always fit me in last minute or same day. read more

The other salon down the street couldn't honor my appt time so I called Allure and they took me immediately! So grateful - she did a great job. I didn't catch her name but she was so meticulous with removing my gel and helping me make sure I didn't ruin it with the regular polish. Look at how nice it looks! read more

Run to Allure and see Kelly - consistently great work here I love getting the ocean pedicure and hard gel nails.

Great mani-pedi from Kelly. Kelly has been my go-to person almost for the couple of years I have been using Allure. She takes great care of me and knowing I don't like delays, has couched me as to which days are better for no-waiting. (That can be a problem on weekends, even with an appointment). I look forward to enjoying an hour or so of pampering and some sharing of views on what is happening in the mall. read more

Lana was amazing! She Helped choose my color and gave great advice. Will definitely ask for her again.

do NOT go here. I paid 48 dollars for my pedicure (normal polish, not even gel) to be messed up within 3 hours of leaving the salon. The paint job was so bad and so thick that it became messed up just by putting socks on...3 hours AFTER I had left the salon. Furthermore one of my toes is so bad that I can see the polish I had on BEFORE I went to the salon...meaning she didn't even take off the polish I had before repainting over them. No wonder they looked so uneven as I left the store. I'm so disappointed and will never be back to this place again. read more

All of the technicians are wonderful and they do an excellent job. I especially like the various types of pedicures they offer.

Treated my 17 year old sister for a full set of nails for her Homecoming party. I dropped her off late Friday 9/27. The nail tech that did her nails even though she tried to make them the shape she wanted (coffin) failed horribly. My sister being shy and not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings did not say anything at all right away. The day of homecoming she finally told us that all her friends had beautifully done nails and she found herself hiding them the whole night. I went back to the nail salon to have them fix the misshaped nails only be told that they will charge 50% to fix their mistake. I had just paid ($50) plus ($5 tip) to be told they will not fix their poorly done job! They only offered 50% money back and that's it! read more

I usually get a manicure and pedicure, and the attention to detail is great. Kimmy has learned how I like my nails done and she always takes her time to ensure everything is as I want it.

Lana has been doing my nails since 2020. She's a sweetheart and does a beautiful job. She takes her time and pays attention to the details. My nails look natural and last for 3 or 4 weeks. read more

I have been a customer here for a few years now and can not say enough good. I pass many nail salons, much closer to home, on my way here but the quiet, peaceful, and upscale environment is so worth it. Lana is my go to technician, she is so good, and detailed. Lana takes her time on both my manicures and pedicures (I have psoriasis and my poor feet are the worst) and it always shows. My nails are the best looking and healthiest they have been in over a decade and I get compliments constantly on how great they look. I have 4 daughters and over the years I have slowly started bringing all of them - the oldest two now come on their own because they too enjoy the detail oriented and impeccable service. The younger ones love the treat, and no matter who helps them, they get great service, their cleat wearing feet stay in great shape and their nails are always pretty and age appropriate. They are rock stars when I have to bring in one of the girls to deal with and ingrown nail, so careful and conscientious making the experience as pleasant and painless possible! The service is top notch and this quiet gem should not be missed! read more

This third stop was the charm! I was desperately hunting for a place to hook me up with a manicure and this was my third stop before finding a place that accommodate my "walk-in" request. I even ended up splurging on a gel manicure because they are currently (as a new business opening) offering a 20% discount on services over $25. Kelly wasn't very chatty, but she has a serenity that helped me to relax midday. The environment actually lends itself to relaxation with soothing music and neutral hues. There is a television on, but it was muted (cc would have been nice), and the space is quite large and open. I imagine that they can get pretty busy on the weekends, but there were just a few of us at the time. The selection of polish is so enormous that it is a little overwhelming for this indecisive customer. At least I had an idea of what I wanted when I came in, otherwise, I have been known to bail out of a situation in which I simply can't decide, or am not permitted enough time to decide. Yeah, I'm that person. Anyway, if you live or work in Ballston, I recommend giving this place a try. The special that they are running right now makes it a no-brainer! read more

Left my previous review below, but I've been back to this salon twice now and each time I was very disappointed with how my nails turned out. No uniformity in their nail techs so you never know how your service is going to go. Won't be going back. I'm a bit of an SNS junkie and after years of being devoted to a popular local SNS salon, I tried Allure which is right next to my office. I'm now a convert to Allure! I had Helen and she gave me the best SNS manicure I've ever had. They include the actual manicure part (cuticle cutting, etc.) in the price, which most places don't for SNS, plus the shoulder massage. Can't wait to come back! P.S. right now since they just opened they have 30% off so it was only $35 for my SNS. read more

I tried Allure for the first time today, and it was great! Karen was my nail-tech, and she did a great job. I got an acrylic fill with gel polish ($48 total). There are so many tools used when dealing with acrylic nails, and at other nail salons, I've been burned or my cuticles ripped and start bleeding, but Karen was very skilled and gentle the whole time. Will definitely be going back! read more
