    Ugh! I requested sunset crater color, got this pepto bismal base color with uneven spatters of hot pink glitter (see pic)

    Updating to remove a star- the business never responded to my email and won't discuss the poor service.

    Broken nails
    Robin K.

    I have been going to Anna's for a couple years now and the service is very hit or miss I think I'm very comfortable now doing a final review after about 2 1/2 to 3 years of going there I decided to go to Anna's for my nails because they were the most available before my wedding I got my nails done on Sunday and one of my nails already broke off on Tuesday and I can tell the other nails are starting to be a little weak to it took me nearly 2 hours to get my nails done acrylic which makes no sense when I had an appointment at 2 PM with my friend who was immediately service but not the actual bride. I paid $75 for nails that I was happy about but should have just went to someplace local around me instead of traveling far to Arlington. I cannot get them redone in time for my wedding nor do I want to spend 2 hours of day before my out of state wedding to get my nails done in the way they should have done. This is not the first time this has happened but I try really hard to do the benefit of the doubt but after this, this is the last time I will go there unfortunately. Also I want to say that I have gotten the eyebrow threading where Ana has told me that she doesn't like to do the eyebrow threading and would rather wax even against my wishes of wanting to do eyebrow threading because I like it better than being waxed and she also tried to convince me to get eyelash extensions and I did but her employee Kaytie did mine and I think it was the first time she was practicing on someone that was a customer it was the most painful eyelash extension I have ever had and by the time we were done my eyes were red and I was crying and just wanted to leave it was past closing time because she took so long.

    One if my nails the day I got them done.

    Absolute worst! I went here to redeem a gifted Groupon for a manicure, but didn't have time for the pedicure - little did I know I would be here for almost 2 hours. My experience was worse than getting a root canal with no sedatives. First, nobody spoke English well enough to communicate. Second, the manager tried to argue with me about the Groupon not being correct and demanded to see the receipt - and then STILL did not want to honor it after I showed her the email receipt. After they argued for over 15 minutes more about the barcode on the proof of purchase... they finally agreed, given that the business name was on it and clearly it stated "paid" AND the code they were looking for was there (just not where she was used to seeing it.) What a total waste of time. If everything else wasn't already booked for a week, I would've walked out the door right then. Next, the nail technician sanded my previous SNS nail polish but the initial sanding was so excessive- so much that i experienced pain on my nail beds. My nails are normally so strong that folks think that they are fake. By the time the technicians finally put down the sander to soak my nails in acetone, my nails were very flimsy and paper thin. I was very nervous they would break immediately .....and they did. Please see the pic I attached. This was not my first time at the rodeo with an SNS dip and the entire process was wrong. Clearly NOBODY knew what they were doing. To make things worse, some of the containers with the polish colors were mislabeled so when I picked a color, what they came back with was shades brighter. Yet they kept insisting it was the right color. I had to argue about that too, until ultimately I had to settle for a different color or I was never going to get out of there. What normally takes not even 45 minutes almost took 2 hours. As you can see by the pictures, they did not even do a good job with the finish. Look at all the edges. The finish is NOT uniform - spotty, streaks, and I'm going to have to get them redone at some point BUT I can't right now because my nails are too sensitive and thin from all the abuse. However, I did feel bad for the poor technician and still gave her a tip. Hopefully she will learn but I'm not a Guinea pig. My biggest disappointment was with their lack of accountability. Nobody ever said they were wrong or apologized at any point in time. I was the one that was wrong, of course - the customer. I'm going to ask Groupon for my money back and will NEVER go back again. EVER. Update- this was February 13....over a month later my nails still haven't recovered and because they sanded my nails to a point of pain, I cannot get my nails done and they break constantly.

    Consistently get my men's cut here twice a month by Lan! She listens to what you ask and is meticulous in delivering a masterpiece every time. Sylvia did my pedicure and manicure too! Five stars and returning soon!

    This is gel by Sylvia after THREE WEEKS I honestly only get them done because they grow out!
    Shannon E.

    I have been going to Anna Salon exclusively for my nails for a number of years. I trust no one else to do as good of a job or for anywhere else to have them last as long! Sylvia has been doing gel or dip nails for me and they always last at least three weeks! I work in the healthcare industry and am constantly hand sanitizing as well. I also had my eyebrows microbladed by Anna and have been getting tons of compliments! The salon has a better supply of nail colors than I have ever seen and it is clean and pleasant. Even though I live up in DC I will never go anywhere else!

    My manicure
    Kathryn M.

    I would give this place one star, but the people were really nice, so that counts for something. I had a manicure and some facial waxing. Unfortunately the wax room and my manicurist scores very low on hygiene - which is my main issue with this place. I was asked to lay on the same bedding as everyone else - no paper cover (yuk) and a mediocre wax job. My manicurist seemed nice, but no English, poor hygiene, dirty looking, dirty nails, rough hands. Just. Really uncomfortable experience all around. Sorry but unless your cleanliness standards are very very low, I'd try elsewhere. oh and you can judge the quality of my manicure for yourself. It was pretty awful.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
    Olya R.

    Anna did a WONDERFULLY FABULOUS job on my hair! She toned & added highlights to it! And did a great job at cutting and styling my hair! Absolutely love it! I've been a customer of hers since I was 8 years old! Favorite hair cutter/stylist ever!! Very professional, clean & positive vibe atmosphere!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    My old blonde balayage near the ends and the brassy unblended orange at the top
    Katrina L.

    I came here to get my hair cut and balayaged after moving from Vegas and not getting my hair done for 6 months so, I can't speak for the other services. I scheduled my appointment over the phone almost a week prior and when I checked in, they didn't have anyone available to do my hair. One of the ladies volunteered after finishing up nails for another client. I showed her a photo of what I wanted, asked her if she's able to do that and how many sessions/how long each session would be to achieve it & she told me only 3 hours. I was shocked because I have naturally black hair, which in my experience, takes longer to and more sessions to achieve blonde. I kept asking her if she's sure she could do it. What I should have done was just walked away at that point because 5 hours later not only was the result NOT what I wanted, but it was hideous. No offer for me to come back to have it fixed or anything, they just kept reassuring me that it looked good and that it is a more natural look & therefore, better? I will say, they all were very sweet people & offered me water. There were many men who got their haircuts & all came out looking great!

    What a friendly place! I was driving by and decided to try it. Anna and her staff are accommodating and professional. I wanted a different color and they made it for me. The atmosphere is so relaxing. I am a woman owned business and know how hard it is. Anna knows her stuff! Brian was a sweetheart and bet over backwards to accommodate me. I highly recommend hands down!

    This review is only about nails. If you want to get your nails done and get them done right - come here and go to Silvia. I discovered Silvia at another salon years ago via Yelp and when she moved to Anna Salon and Spa, I followed her. She is amazing. My nails always look amazing and the nail polish stays. And on top of that, she gives the most amazing massages during her mani's & pedi's. I even had her do my nails for my wedding a few days early (because my wedding was out of state - and I only wanted to go to her). I give Silvia 5 stars without hesitation.

    My long hair the night before. It's curled so it is much longer straight

    I've been coming here for a few years and honestly don't know why I keep going back. Today was the straw that broke the camel's back. I went in today to get a small trim and some layers on my extremely long hair which is mid back length (photo of previous hair below taken the night before; it was curled so it's a lot longer straight). I asked for two inches cut off at the bottom and two layers. What I got instead was about eight inches cut off at the collar bone. I cannot even begin to understand why Cindy did this when I was very clear on what I wanted. To start, she didn't even realize I had an appointment, she was unprofessional, she didn't bother to listen to what I wanted and she cut the hair impulsively and carelessly. She know she messed up because she offered to not have me pay. Once I got up, she stormed off and her colleague asked me if I was okay. Her colleague confirmed that she overheard me only ask for two inches trimmed and two layers. She told me she wasn't sure why Cindy cut it so short. It's honestly such a shame because it took me a really long time to grow my hair to how I had it and I only wanted the ends cut off. Overall, this experience speaks to the unprofessionalism of the salon and the lack of customer service. I hope they take the time to hear what their customers want and execute, instead of just doing whatever. Side note- Anna has cut my hair in the past and she's good.

I arrived at the cozy salon after a short walk through the lobby of the Crystal Towers apartment building and an elevator ride to the ground floor. I was paired with a nail technician who appeared to be learning the ropes. Not an ideal situation and one I would have thought twice about had I realized beforehand! I encountered a series of mishaps during my appointment. The nail technician nicked my right pinky finger. Also, the color that I selected was so diluted that it required four coats and resulted a lumpy mess. The technician took the initiative to redo the manicure even though it delayed her schedule. I appreciated her commitment to providing a quality manicure instead of a subpar one resembling a toddler's work. The owner kindly offered an alternative nail polish color from a different nail polish brand. Throughout my visit, I noticed a few customers (presumably regulars) getting haircuts. While the styles weren't anything special, the clients seemed happy with the results. With two pedicure stations, two manicure stations, and some hair stations as well, this salon is clearly a hodgepodge of different services. My visit served its purpose; however, I would not go out of my way to get my nails done here again.

I always had my hair cut by Kay and consider her to be a personal friend. She is always friendly and her attention to detail is amazing. My favorite part of the haircut experience here is the shampoo before and after. You really feel pampered here and the quality of the haircut is the best I have experienced while living in the D.C. area. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount of care and time that they spend on you. Helen is also very friendly and my friends who used her loved her results as well. Please give this salon a try!

It's not super fancy nor big, it's in a small suite that's semi outdated but to be honest the workers are amazing and worth a try. The customer service and prices are unbelievable!!! I got a Gel pedicure and the guy did an outstanding job. They didn't use the metal scraper (which is so bad for you) and my feet came out just as soft. I wasn't rush and they accommodated to my needs. I paid $43 which is a steal, these days for What I normally get would've been almost doubled the amount. I'm so happy I found this place, it's def worth the drive. Oh yeah, there's street parking but it depends on the day because it's a hit or miss and you definitely need to pay to park (Park Mobile App comes in handy). I wish I took pics of the inside but I was pressing for time since they were closing the next hour. Definitely check this spot out with an open heart.

During that time, the staff kept pushing me to switch to dip, and when I politely explained that dip doesn't last as long on my nails (from years of experience), they got passive-aggressive and seemed irritated. To top it all off, my nails turned out looking very subpar--definitely not worth the time, money, or energy. I booked in advance for a reason, and the lack of professionalism and poor service made this a one-and-done visit for me. Would not recommend.

I went to Metropolitan Nail Bar for a dip polish removal and a new dip manicure. During the removal process, the technician left acetone on my nails for over an hour without checking on them, while working on other clients. My nails began to burn and became very painful. When she returned to remove the remaining polish, I told her it was hurting, but she didn't acknowledge or respond. She then aggressively filed the tops of my nails, to the point where they felt extremely thin, sensitive, and were burning. When applying the new color, there was a noticeable line between where the polish was and wasn't applied. I pointed this out, and she seemed visibly frustrated. Although she added more color, her tone and demeanor came across as annoyed and dismissive. For the next two days, my nails continued to burn, but I was too worried to use more acetone to fix anything, so I left them alone. Once my nails started to grow out, I went to my usual salon to have the dip removed. As I suspected, my nail beds had been filed down excessively. There is now a clear difference between the new growth and the previously filed areas, and my nails are now weak and breaking. Overall, this was a painful experience with lasting damage to my nails.
