Great customer service and best SNS (dip powder) manicure I've had in DC thus far. I went to Tammy, the manager, who is extremely hospitable and very meticulous when she does nails. I've found my new nail salon. Everything is new and clean. They use sterilized tools that come in a sealed bag. I didn't get a pedicure but saw that they covered the tubs with plastic bags as well. I highly recommend this place. Thanks for the great service!

The worst experience you can have. I went in with my girls, one of the young lady asked me to sit down and do my nails. While I was in there, the lady who did my nail bosses me around, say put you hands here, put your hands there. Don't move! Turn off your massage chair, because the chair are moving, I can not do you nail. She did not even say one time please . Simply order and rude! I will never visit this place again. It is the worst spa experience you can have in DC. Me and my girlfriend looked at each other and like what is going on with this lady. See picture below, I did this mani 11/24 night, and it chipped on 11/26. There was some kind of bubble in the cheap nail polish.

This is my second time visiting this nail salon and it was much better than my first experience. For the sake of this review I will focus on my recent visit... I normally have an acrylic overlay on my natural nails because while long they tend to break easily. A friend of mine suggested the dip powder as an alternative to the harsh acrylic and I was happy to see this salon offered the service. I opted for a gel pedicure with the SNS dip powder mani and had two nails repaired. I was there for two hours. While the timing could be improved, the staff was very nice and actually worked on my mani/pedi simultaneously. I have been getting many compliments on my nails and for the convenience I will absolutely return as they are right across from my place of business. My nails were completely done with the powder, even the design. My pedi is still pristine. Again, I think they can do better on time but otherwise I am satisfied.

Best Nails has become my new go to for my nail services. I kept asking my coworkers every day if the shop had opened until I saw that they were opened. Samantha has been absolutely amazing and keeps me together and on trend! The prices are affordable and they use quality products. No thinner in the nail polishes and they educate their clients on proper care and safety of their nails and enhancements.

I recently found this salon tucked away in the lower level of Union Station. My nail tech Tammy did an exceptional job. I will definitely be returning.

Lovely color

This salon took me in right away. I had no appointment. I was promptly seated and greeted right away. Everyone was very friendly and the lovely lady who did my nails did a fantastic thorough job. They don't use cheap nail polish and I never felt rushed one bit. I accidentally smudged one nail and she quickly fixed it. For a nail salon, it's one of the better ones I've experienced. If you have a lay over at union station, I highly recommend swinging by.

UPDATE: after one week, my dark purple eggplant gel manicure has turned green (see photos). If you do go to this salon, DO NOT get the DND Daisy polish! Of course, the other brand is $5 more....

On a business trip and noticed I needed an Acrylic fill. Right outside the metro doors. They got me in quick and I was on my way in 45 minutes. My nails are straight and look great for my upcoming meetings.

The worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years and no one has ever done as poor of a job. They attempt to do a pedicure and manicure. The job seemed rush. My toes where done poorly someone else had to assist her. My nails started to chip same day and on the third day most of my nails where off. I called and they told me I could come back in to get everything fixed. Once I got there they told me I had to wait about 2 hours due to appointment. I ask if I could just have my money back and they said they could only fix. If I could give this nail salon no starts I would.

Do not utilize this place. The man did my entire pedicure in 20 minutes. All of my toenails are crooked and some way longer/shorter than others. When I tried to explain to him that they weren't even he told me my toenails were "ugly" repeatedly. No one spoke enough English to understand that I simply wanted him to make my nails even and take the polish off my skin. When I placed my foot in a chair to show him he aggressively yelled "ugly" to get my to put my feet down. I paid for my service, but let's just say I will NEVER visit this salon again!

I've had to quit two nail salons this year and finally found this place. They are super nice and helpful and Helen did my nails perfectly! The price is worth the service and quality.

See all

The male nail tech is rude, did a horrible job and still expected a tip. I will never go again.

As a member of the Vida gym, I receive a discount at the Aura Spa on Tuesdays. Thus, despite not…read morenormally getting a massage unless I'm on vacation, I decided to give them a go here. The price for a 60 minute massage is very fair for being right in the city, $130 before the discount, $110 with it (before gratuity). I have not tried any other services. Since I am a member of the gym, I knew it was located in the gym along with the hair salon and was not surprised by the entrance procedure. Rather, I was incredibly impressed by the tranquil environment they managed to create within the busy gym. Once you enter the space, there's dim mood lighting, relaxing music, water, and a separate bathroom. You wouldn't even know you're in the gym. I received a massage form one masseuse, thought it was good, and so I went back for a second with the same individual. The second time, I was deeply unimpressed. The whole experience was much more wholistic and caressing than a pressure-based massage--even after I requested more pressure. It didn't even feel like I had had a massage afterwards. So for my third session, I decided to try someone different: Ronnie. And Ronnie was amazing. He incorporated so many different techniques, including stretching, and threw in some extras like heat and aroma, even going a little over time. I would definitely book Ronnie again. It is a shame that there's no way to tell on the app (that I could see) what type of massage each masseuse specializes in, so you could select one who matches your preferences. My experiences with each masseuse were so different, and it seems a little silly that I would need to try them all before finding my favorite.

I booked a last minute massage here with Anthony for my wedding weekend and it was incredible…read more Definitely one of the best massages ever. I'm so I found this place and I would definitely return here if I lived in the area. Just all around fantastic service and vibes.
