    Horrible glitter application
    Sheila N.

    I loved this place and it was great until it wasn't. Disappointed is an understatement. Woke up this morning after 3 extremely rough weeks looking forward to a relaxing nail appointment but instead, I'm typing this out with horribly painful nail beds. I was the first customer to walk in and asked Luna if they had time for a gel manicure. She stated yes and quickly seated me. I asked if it would be okay to not use the drill on my nail bed and she said "we need to use it in order to take off the gel top coat" (I know this isn't necessarily true because other nail salons have taken the top coat off with just a file before wrapping my nails) most nail salons use the drill at times to remove the top coat then they wrap your nail. Not only did Luna not wrap my nails, she used the drill to take off the enter polish I had on my nail when I first entered. I showed her the same nail combination I got once before and once she completed the polish and went to apply the top coat I stopped her and asked if she was really done which she answered yes. I was absolutely shocked by how my nails looked after the blotchy glitter she applied and asked her if she could fix it or remove the glitter. She got irritated and said "you should've said something after I applied the glitter to your first nail" She went on saying that's how the polish is which I responded and said I had the same combination a month ago and the nail tech applied the glitter beautifully and only used 1 coat. She got very irritated and started taking the polish off with a drill again. She was so upset that she was using a lot of force as she was removing the polish and the high speed of the drill and her pressure sent a very painful burning pain through my nail bed. I asked if someone else could help me and she started getting a bigger attitude. The manager comes over and she too seemed bothered and at this point I was just ready to leave. She stated that my nails are just too sensitive which is not true and I fact I have VERY strong nails and nail bed. I got to leave and she asked me to sit so she could remove the polish and fix it. I explained that my fingers were hurting and she told me that I should've asked for my nails to be wrapped. I explained that I've never had a tech not wrap my nails and I've been getting gel for years. She once again aid every tech does things differently and I explained again how I asked for the drill not to be used. The manager brought out a gel polish remover in the shape of a polish which I've never seen. After nearly 30 min and 3 rounds i was able to leave. I have NEVER dealt with this much pain before and it's such a shame that as a customer you go into an establishment hoping for some relaxation only to be hurt, verbally insulted and blamed for something that's not your doing. It's a shame and embarrassment how they continued to talk about me and laugh as if nothing happened or as if I wasn't still sitting there. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The lack of customer service and care is just shocking.

    Thanks to Johnny at Always Polish'd, I'm walking around with a broken nail. I'm new to Lorton, and I'm just trying to find someone reliable to get a decent set of nails. Well this isn't it. I went there for them to fix the shape on a set of nails that I'd previously gotten somewhere else. I told him that the nails that he did less than 5 hours ago chipped off at the tip. He said that it's not his fault because he didn't do the initial set. Though the shape looks a million times better, he filed them so much that the acrylic was paper thin. They then proceed to take several other customers leaving me here with a broken nail. In the 30 min that I've sat here, I've had enough time to write this review and decide to cut my losses and pay to have it fixed elsewhere. I guess I've learned that this is not the spot for me and I will not be back. Good luck to anyone who decides to give this place a shot.

    White French tip pedicure w/ gel

    I've been moving a lot lately and found this spot 5 minutes away from me. It's located the Liberty plaza where Lidl is at and there's always plenty of parking. I called the night prior to book an appointment the very next day for a pedicure and they had an availability a little after opening. It's been 6 months since I've got my pedicure done so When arriving, the salon is very noticeable with its name on the brick building. It's pretty spacious when walking in and did I mention, BEAUTIFUL. It gives off such an elegant vibe and the white theme and crystal over lights give it a cool, regal ambience as easy listening elevator music is playing in the background- not too loud or soft. I signed in the iPad confirming I had the deluxe sugar scrub and was directed to the pedicure station that had the plastic wrap over the pedicure bowl and a massage chairs. I am a big lover of massage chairs and most of all, they don't have jets in the pedicure sink which is a bonus for me. Coming from family that owns a salon, we know the bacteria the jets harbor and strictly use sink bowls for pedicures, so this is always pleasing. When getting my pedicure done, my nail tech, Angel took her time and did everything timely and gently. She's very considerate and soft spoken, paying attention to small details. Throughout the process, the salon was fairly quiet with just the music playing as there was just one other person. I wanted a white French tips with gel and it came out beautifully. The salon overall is very organized, clean, and beautiful. Venmo/cash app cards for each tech laminated are organized at the front, and the WiFi password is on each massage chair. I wish I can say I'd come back often but I'm moving again soon, so I'll definitely have to stop by before I officially leave this area

    Always Polish'd is such a great nail salon and addition to Lorton! I've been anxiously awaiting for it to open since my normal nail salon in Lorton didn't survive very long after COVID. The salon is very nicely decorated/designed, very clean, large, pays attention to small details, and provides a very relaxing experience while giving you a great manicure and pedicure! I didn't get the name of the woman that did my express gel pedicure, but she did a wonderful job. Johnny did my gel manicure full set with chrome and I am so happy with the results. This is definitely my go to nail salon now!

    I truly just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Valeria for her passion, talent,…read morelove & patience for her craft. When it comes to giving you the best lashes and customer experience ever, Vallora is the place! This form of art takes alot of patience & love for what you do, so I know when I say Valeria and her crew at Vallora deliver nothing but exceptional service every single time! I have been to countless of lash artists and I have never stuck with one because of the lack of consistency in work, quality, & price and here at Vallora I have found them all plus more (which is Valeria), a truly beautiful soul! I feel so lucky to have found this gem, that I am constantly raving about it to everyone & anyone who complements me on my lashes. :) I knew as soon as I stepped foot in here I would shortly become one of those girls who became addicted to getting their lashes done every 2 weeks- month! I enjoy the benefits of not having to add mascara or false lashes every time I'm going out, or simply waking up... lets be honest ;) it is truly a life saver. The lashes I get are hybrids that give me a cat eye look. (LOVE!) I have big almond shaped eyes and so they give me just what I need to make me look glamorous and yet subtle. What I love about my lashes is if you take care of them properly they last you so long!! I remember when I first got them done, my lashes lasted me almost 3 months! Now that's what I'm talking about! But since I like mine full and fluffy, I usually go every 3weeks- month for a refill. The main reason why I got lashes done was when I was going on vacation- it makes my life so easy without the hassle of wasting too much time on getting ready, trust me.. I am all for saving time because I'm that girl who takes her sweet time getting ready lol! My second reason was because I was getting married and I refused to have my lashes coming off in the middle of me saying my vows lol BRIDES trust me when I say, get the dang lashes!! You will 100% not regret and can thank me later by saying Marby referred you ;) I will attach some close up photos without makeup & some when I get all glammed up. I am forever booked with getting my lashes done here and now I found out I can also get my brows done here too, so helloooo WIN WIN!

    I had a great experience at this studio and I plan to return. The studio is beautiful and well…read moremaintained, the lash tech took her time and used the full two hours, I actually got antsy on the table. My lashes were beautiful and lasted 3+ weeks. I also appreciate the easy of the online appointment system. Yelpers, be sure to check Groupon on any coupons they are offering.

When I arrived for my appointment, I was delighted to see the cozy lobby before following Shadonna into the service room. It's decorated with very classy touches that make the room feel very welcoming. She sanitized the treatment table before I sat down. With just a few strips of hardening wax and some touch-up tweezing, my brows looked great again. So many other estheticians have waxed my thick brows down to tiny toothpicks throughout the years, but Shadonna does a perfect job of keeping the definition without caterpillar fuzziness. I was able to pay with my card on file, which I entered when I made the appointment online. I booked my next service with her in person, but I love that the digital platform is available. For now Shadonna is just doing waxing appointments, but plans to expand on the services offered in the coming months. The parking lots are a bit of a labyrinth, but if you turn right at the business driveway (before you get to the 7-11), drive to the back lot, and make another right, you'll see the door on the right-hand side of the building. I'm thrilled I can keep my brows looking good and I look forward to trying some of the other options in the future.

    Shadonna is incredible! Once you go to her, you will not want to go anywhere else. I have seen her…read morefor a few years now, and receive exceptional service every time.
