I was coming here for a solid few months. Every Monday with Tony... however today it was another off week. My last 2 services have been way subpar verses when I first started coming. I got fungus on my nail from my new gel overlay. Came back today for a fill in, there was no concern or apology along with 2 other nails almost all the lifted after 2 weeks!! ( Mind you when I first was coming months ago it was last 3 weeks with no lifting) Then when you ask for a design it's like they want you to get something fast or they don't tell you the truth about what they can do. I was very very unhappy with my service and because I asked him to change it because I didn't like it, he seemed upset. So I left with half a design I like and the other I don't. Mind you I did have my 4 yr old Autistic son with me, I think my sons few interruptions were maybe causing the rush as well so hence I left paying $45 for something I don't like but also feeling like they could careless about their clients. I'm very unhappy and now I have to go get them restyled and look for a new nail shop!!! Smh!!!

Sloppy paint job

Okay so this is maybe my third or fourth time coming here. It's in my neighborhood so I typically go here when I can't go to my usual salon in DC since they take walk ins. I usually get the regular spa pedi (used to be $35, got bumped up to $40 which is understandable), but today I decided to treat myself to a deluxe reflexology pedi ($65). It includes everything from the deluxe pedi ($50) plus a 15 min hot lotion massage. Sam was friendly enough, though she kept trying to upsell me on services which I didn't appreciate. I got moisturizing gloves for my hands as well as a heated neck pillow during which was nice. BUT I didn't get the hot lotion reflexology massage (although she did spend about 8 min total massaging both of my calves with scrub). My cuticles aren't in good shape since she didn't spend much time on them. And the paint job is HORRENDOUS. My nails look so lumpy and bumpy. All in all, I'm likely not coming back. Last time I came and got gel on my toes, it peeled off of all my nails in two days. The customer service is decent but the shoddy end result is no where near worth $65.

This salon is good for a quick run in. I, personally, have never had a bad experience with them. Just don't expect to get your intricate designs there tho. All salons are not bad when you are aware of what they can do and what they can't do... If you know you're coming into town , I suggest you find you a private nail tech and book with them. A lot of these home based nail techs are really good! Just make EXTRA sure you investigate BEFORE booking! And whatever you do, do not get your eyebrows done there! Search up Pretty Eyebrow & Threading on Google. They're amazing with eyebrows! For nails, Go on instagram and search @Donnynails ! He's great! Good luck!

They couldn't even do French correctly and they overcharged me for a fill-in. They charge me 65 for a filling and $35 for design which is crazy I do not recommend going there. On top of that they spent three hours just to do this simple thing.

Second nail that popped off clean like a press on nail in one week

They used to have good product but no so much now. They made sure to put signs letting customers know that there will be an increase in prices due to inflation but seems to me like they got cheaper products because my nails literally start popping off like press ons I'm one week. I spent $187 on my feet, nails, and eyebrows this is unacceptable and I will be going back to my old salon. When a nail comes on clean whole nail exactly like a press on ITS THE PRODUCT I got one fixed and the next day literally another one popped off it has not even been a two weeks

Done by JoJo

You are missing out if you're not coming here to get your nails done!!! The ambiance is beautiful and they offer you tea and water while you are getting pampered. I love my nails every time I leave and get endless compliments.

Like what shape is this?!?! I'm so upset.

I was in the area and decided to stop by to get my SNS and pedicure. Let me start off by saying I've been getting sns for the past 3 years(at a different nail salon) and never had an issue. When i arrived, i was pleased with the aesthetics and was happy to be helped promptly. Long story short, my pedicure was okay. My sns however, is thick, the shaping is not what i asked for. I was pressure into tipping cash versus tipping on my credit card. If i could give this place a -5 stars I WOULD!. DO NOT COME HERE! UPDATE!!!! She fixed it... so i will give them a 3 star for the inconvenience.

gel fill in originally done by Kim, fixed by JoJo. Not perf but better than before. $30 fill, extra $3 for a cut down.

I visited Aqua Nails on a Thursday evening after work. The shop is very nice, the atmosphere is very soothing. I am currently searching for a new nail tech so I decided to try shops in my area based on yelp reviews. I got my nails done by Kim and it's obvious that I was her guinea pig so my experience was not so great. I had to go back in and have another tech fix my nails. I got my nails fixed by JoJo, and she worked a miracle! Other than being handed off to an obviously inexperienced tech, my visit was good! They have a wide variety of polishes, everybody is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. UPDATE: DO NOT let Kim do your nails or feet. She's super rough, does not paint well, very careless job each time. I try to not be rude and give her chances but never again. I got a pedicure a few days ago at another spa (my home spa, The Village Nail Bar), but wanted a polish change so I went to aqua for a basic $25 pedi just because i like the hot water and massage. I figured i'll give kim another chance cause there isn't much to do on my feet. She didn't need to file, didn't need to scrub, didn't need to cut any cuticles, i had a fresh pedicure. she literally went to WORK on my cuticles and I asked her to please stop because it hurts. There were literally no cuticles to cut. She was fast and rough like she was trying to pluck a chicken. She literally disregarded what I was saying until I had to put my hand down there to stop her. She left a cold wet towel on my legs while painting, i had to snatch that off myself. My polish was horrible, she doesn't paint corners and she isn't neat. I had to tell her to give me the bottle so I can do it myself to show her how to paint.‍ I tried, y'all.... I love JoJo and Tim, they are amazing but I can't go back to this shop if they are going to have people pay their hard earned money for trash work and totally disregard it.

Wall decor

I took my daughter here twice. They have a cute section set up for kids with Frozen character massage chairs and pretty decor. My daughter loves it and her nails and toes came out super cute both times. The most recent time we went was on Saturday. I decided to get a polish change on my toes and a full set. My toes are fine. Love the color. However, this full set is sloppy and rushed. Unfortunately I didn't pay it much attention until I got home later that night. I wouldn't go back for myself but I do like the kids section.

A neighbor recommended this salon since my usual spot was closed and now I'm wishing I had just waited to go to my normal spot. I went in for a pedicure yesterday evening and got a rushed job and sloppy nail polish application. The tech ( a guy, didn't get his name), didn't even bother to clean off the excess nail polish. I could have done this at home on my own. Such a waste of money.

The decor is great!

Do not go here. They put little to no effort even for the most simple things like a basic manicure. Don't waste your time!!!

I stopped in for the first time a few weeks ago. I'd been going to Only Nails (next to Target) but…read morethe last few times, my nails started lifting after just a week and my shape looked a little wonky. I read a few reviews and took a chance with Mike. He did a great job! He did a thorough file down and fill in and the shape and design are exactly what I asked for. Cosmo is more expensive than Only Nails but I'm really happy with the results. Fingers crossed there's no lifting! I went back 3 weeks later (there was no lifting after 3 weeks!!!) and the experience was even better! Lolo (the manager) is fantastic, Rose gave me possibly the best, most relaxing pedicure/ massage I've ever had, and once again, Mike gave me a gorgeous full-set mani!

I'm literally still in the parking lot trying to fix what I just walked out of. This is one of the…read moreworst pedicures I've ever had . If I could rate 0 stars I would .

I go back and forth on deciding if this is two stars or 3…read more The sign say that this is a day spa. This is not a day spa. It is your basic neighborhood nail shop. PROS Located conveniently in a strip mall, retail space. Like most urban strip malls there's fast food, a nail shop, beauty supply, save for the liquor store... but it's not far away-- SMH. Most of the workers are quick and the pricing is reasonable. When you walk through the door, you are addressed... at least. CONS Don't expect top notch (customer) service or a plush shop. Get your nails done and leave-- don't expect real pampering. Nail techs are hit or miss as well as nail, brow and pedi service. I'm unaware if they are up to date with designs, but they do have decorative acrylic, gel polish and know what the coffin shape is. Nothing has been truly horrid, but I've had better. A decent option for quick maintenance and when a back up plan is needed. They close at 8pm, but be careful of going after 7ish.

If I could give this horrible business ZERO stars I would. This is by far the absolute WORST nail…read moresalon I have ever been to in my entire 21 years of living. Let's first start off by saying two of my friends and I walked in and no one greeted us. We had to say "uhhh...excuse me? Is anyone gonna acknowledge or answer us?" Everyone was just staring at us like we had 15 eyes. Not to mention, the owner is also very rude. I asked if she could help me and she gave me the rudest most hostile response I've ever heard from any business owner. Completely unprofessional. We should've left right then and there but we were desperate to get our nails done as this was on a Sunday and we came around 5. I got an acrylic full set and first of all, the guy who was doing my nails made me feel VERY uncomfortable. He was too busy trying to hit on me instead of making sure he put enough acrylic on my nails so they didn't break. With that being said, after the 2nd day of having them, 1 nail broke. I was fine with that. I went and got it fixed on the 3rd day free of charge and that was that. After I went to get that nail fixed, by the end of the 3rd day, I kid you not....6 of my nails were off. They were literally popping off like press ons I just bought from Walmart. I wasn't so mad they were popping off as I hated my nails to begin with because the shaping was off. Every single nail was a different shape, but the idea of me spending $65 on this is what really upset me the most. I can't continue this review without failing to mention both of my friends had similar experiences to mine with their acrylics. By the 3rd day, four of my friend's acrylics had came off and the acrylic on her toe had completely chipped in half as well. My other friend went and asked for acrylic on her toe, and the lady blatantly told her "no, you don't need it" & proceeded to do her toes without the acrylic. Of course my friend was not having that and told her to do what she asked. Who says that to someone and how do you know what a customer doesn't and doesn't want? Once again...lazy, inconsiderate and rude. Not sure how they are still operating business, but I will never come back here and I will be sure to let everyone else know that as well. Also, I wouldn't advise anyone to use the bathroom there. I did so and they made it a big commotion and started talking about me in their language. Absolutely uncalled for. Take your coins somewhere else. There are plenty of better nail salons in the area.
