    Sexy Red nails (074)

    If your looking for a great nail spa this place is hands down the best. I normally just go here to get my wax done with Leslie who is absolutely amazing and I decided to get a mani & pedi with new tech, Andy and Andy did not disappoint. I can't stop looking at my nails and feet. Absolutely love this place and you won't be disappointed!

    I found this nail salon using ClassPass. 37points allows you to get a dip manicure and regular pedicure. I paid extra to get mail extension and do a French pedicure. Sophia did an amazing job, she was kind, funny and worked quickly. I am a new regular customer

    I love this salon! It is my favorite in DC! My favorite technicians are Maryam and Andy. They are so kind and always do a fantastic job!! Highly recommend for great service and consistency. I've gone to other salons in DC and have horror stories. Including at Modern Nail Bar which I ended up walking out and not even letting them finish because I was gushing blood. The woman cut, not one, but two of my nails way too short! I had to wear band aids for a week! I'm very skeptical of nail salons after the bad experiences I've had and this place always puts me at ease. It is so relaxing. I've NEVER had a bad experience at Capital Waxing Salon! It is by far the best in DC!!

    Andy restored my faith in nail salons. His attention to detail and amazing skills have made me his new permanent customer. He took his time in applying the gel builder and making sure I was happy with the nail shape. An amazing experience!

    Andy did a great job and paid attention to details. Very happy with my experience. I got the builder gel with a design!

    Though the name may make it sound otherwise, this place is not just for waxing. I came in and got a wax and manicure, and am very happy with how both turned out. We also didn't wait at all to be serviced on a weekday afternoon. It's a full service nail salon that I'd come back to if I lived in the area. My nails look perfect and brand new a full week after my gel manicure, even though the color is dark and contrasts with my skin tone. They do multiple services, including dip powder, and have lots of colors. I had great service - friendly but not overly chatty, which I especially love in a bikini wax. My skin is super sensitive, and I've had bad experiences with waxes before, so I don't like to branch out, but I'm so happy I did here! My technician was quick, professional, and completely fabulous. She used different types of wax for different areas. It clearly worked - I had minimal pain and no ingrown hairs.

    One of the best waxes I've ever had. She was quick! It was perfect. I also got a mani pedi. Highly recommend.

    I would say if the ladies in the business are not comfortable waxing guys…read more Then they should take it of their menu I went to get my legs waxed and although it was pretty painless and went smooth and inside of my thighs are hairy af and when I asked if she could do it she said I don't feel comfortable going so deep knowing that they do offer men's bikini waxing So overall I wouldn't recommend this to any guy Funny part is I'm gay So yeah Half ass job and female leg waxing is 78 where men's is 90 so if I'm paying extra money why do I have extra hair left !!!!!!!

    I am in DC temporarily for cancer treatment so I wanted to find a place to get my lashes done…read morebecause it's the one (vain) thing that makes me feel better right now. This place got good reviews so I booked an appointment at the Eastern Market location since it's near the place I'm staying. The night prior, they called and asked if I'd be willing to go to the Dupont Circle location instead so that the technician could fit in more appointments. It was annoying, but not a huge deal. I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.

    this place is very dependent on the threader(is that what they are called?) i like this location…read morebecause of its proximity and plenty of free parking nearby, some of the threaders(yeah im just gonna keep using that term) are good, but some are exquisitely bad. the one today was in the latter category. i have full, thick brows and they look good even when they are NOT threaded(hey i tried to be humble, but ...it...didnt..work..). on occasion, i will get them threaded for a more refined look. the threader today did not do that. one of my brows got hair removed excessively and looked uneven by comparison and there were no sharp lines. i did point this out to the threader(who willl remain nameless) who insisted everything was good. she also applied lotion to my brows without asking me first, which is made my face all itchy and i washed it off immediately. i usually get an astringent like witch hazel, which P.E. has too but the threader usually will ask me first what I want. gee, gosh damn , is that so hard? anyway, once a threader messes up, i do NOT want them to fix it, bc that usually makes it worse...way worse. so i will have to get creative with my pencil and mascara brush. and honestly, im very irritated. im putting my pic from today and one from another salon where i got my brows done before.picture is worth a thousand brows after all. btw, i PREFER the P.E. in tysons corner mall, i have NEVER had any issues there.

    TL;DR (long version in the photos)--I never write reviews of businesses, let alone small businesses…read morebut I am hoping that doing this will save someone else what I went through. I visited Semra's studio twice and she gave me a severe allergic reaction (Google PPD allergic reaction and HD Brows and BrowSculpt) that left me with severe hives on my face and extreme swelling of the eyes/ face for which I had to see three doctors and had to use six separate medications. It took me over a month to fully recover (I visited her salon Sept. 17, and am only now fully recovered as of late Oct.). After I told her about it, the only apology she gave me was "sorry to hear about it :(" I asked her for a refund and she refused, not even refunding me the tip or the cost of the service that caused the allergic reaction. On top of that, when I sent her the pictures, her reaction most generously could be understood as ignorance about a very common allergy that occurs due to the chemicals she uses in the line of work she's been in for ~30 years and at worst as accusing me of lying. She refused to take any accountability even when her actions seriously harmed a customer. I'll let you draw whatever conclusions you believe appropriate from my experience.

    I love love love this place. I've been going to this place to get my lashes done for almost three…read moreyears. I get the yumi keratin lash lift done every 10-12 weeks. I use to get them done every 8 weeks, but now that my lashes are longer I noticed they can last up to 10-12 weeks. I also noticed my lashes got so much longer after I was doing these lifts for a year. Semra is amazing. She's always gentle with my lashes and takes amazing care to make sure they look good. I always leave satisfied with my lashes. My eyes are usually very sensitive as well. When I use to get regular lash lifts, my eyes would get irritated. But with the yumi lash lifts, my eyes aren't irritated. I think the chemicals are more gentle than regular lash lifts. Also I love the natural look of these lashes. They're so curly and long and just naturally pretty. I also got my brows done twice here. I usually don't get my brows done because I don't really care about my brows as much as I do my lashes lol, but Semra made my brows look really nice as well. I was impressed by how different I look with them shaped better. I will think about doing my brows more often here
