This is what happens when my nail guy is too busy to see me =( I have to venture off to another salon and end up with bad experience. My friend and I were in a deep need of a pedi and didnt know if we wanted a mani or not. We called ahead around 5:30 and asked if they were taking walkins or did we have to make an appointment and they said that if we come now, we will be taken care of. Arrived to the salon at 5:45 and waited until 6:10 to be seen (which was not bad).. btw, they close at 7 on Saturdays. So anyways, we were both seated next to eachother but the pedi chairs were sooooo far apart from one another that we had to yell to talk so we ended up having to text (so not a good idea if you want some girl powwow time). I originally wanted the express pedi and my nail tech suggested I get the spa pedi that comes with extra time for massage (she was the one that mentioned the extra time) so I went ahead and gave her the go since I did need some deep massaging and exfoliation. When she started my pedi, it was close to 6:20 and I was already in the mani chair by 6:50 (yes, I keep a close eye on the clock since I am spoiled at my regular spot). My pedi experience here was not the best, everything was rushed and I was scared to even breathe during the cuticle removal process. She was snipping away at my skin at such a fast pace that I felt she was going really close to my flesh. The paint job was 50/50 and I was not impressed. As she was polishing, she kept going over and over and over spots which ended up making the polish very dry and tacky so in other words, very clumpy. At one point there was a HUGE piece of cotton thread that was hanging off of my big toe that she kept polishing over, I had to mention and point it out to her after she said i was done, when she pulled it, it took most of the polish off with it and she just blantly polished another clear coat over. I had no words after that. My mani experience was also the same, felt super rushed and the paint job was horrible. I choose a light purple color and when I was done, it looks like a super sheer light white. My nails are not completely covered with polished but my skin was, she then filed my nails super crooked, and she looked completely angry or focused the ENTIRE process. I will never come back here again. read more

I went here just about two hours ago and omg! They did my nails perfectly! And for an amazing price! Anne ( I hope that's how you spell it) did my nails coffin style with gel and did a perfect job! Place is super clean and looks beautiful! She made sure as we kept going through the nail process she asked if I liked it to make sure if I wanted to change it! I'm so happy! Definitely going to come back! Found my nail spot:) read more

Second Update: So I decided to give this place another go since the owner said they would address those issues but my visit today has just really reinforced how awful this place is. I wish I could give zero stars. First of all, the nail tech never asked me any questions (about how short I wanted my nails or what shape I would like) so he just went at it however he thought was best. Thats not a huge issue with me because Im not that particular about those aspects of my pedicure but its the attention to detail that makes a place great in my opinion. Next, when he did the scrub on my legs, he never fully rinsed it off and a huge chunk was just chillen on my ankle even after he rinsed my legs with running water. He then went on to oil/lotion up my legs with that blob of scrub eventually getting mixed into the massage and it wasn't very pleasant. But okay, thats forgivable. He wasnt looking at my feet when he was massaging. He missed it. Human error. But then, I saw what he did with the tools after my pedicure once again. He took them to the sink at the back and rinsed them off which is exactly what put me off about this place last time. But to make matters worse, he then put them into a sanitizer bag (the little clear blue bags you see most salons take their tools out of) to make it look like those tools were sanitized when they were not! And just for the cherry on top, he put them at the pedicure station next to mine, took the next customer there, and took those tools out and used them on her. I cant even imagine how many feet those tools have touched without being properly sanitized. I gave them another chance but clearly the owner just worked hard to cover up the issues rather than addressing them. Its cheaper than other places but just not worth it. I'd rather pay the $5 more and get a quality pedicure but thats just because I feel strongly about proper sanitization. UPDATE: I feel the service has gotten worse and worse since my first visit and today will officially be my last visit. I went to get a regular pedicure and my nail technician pulled out this tin box (in the picture) with her seemingly unsanitized tools. I was very disappointed but I still got my last pedicure there since Im not one to cause a scene. Of course there is not guarantee that they did not sanitize their tools but they didnt look clean to me and thats enough to make me steer clear next time. Additionally, my nails were crooked last time and the man who did my nails was very rough so it was more unpleasant than relaxing. Overall, i think I've reached my last straw with this establishment. Its such a shame because I thought this was a hidden gem at first. ******************************************** FIRST REVIEW (used to be a 5 star to me): I am so glad I found this gem! This place is very clean and tidy which is a big thing for me. They also take walk-ins which is great for nail emergencies. I came in and was greeted immediately. They asked what I needed and after I picked out a color for my pedicure, I was seated to soak my feet immediately. The nail technician did not come around until maybe 15 minutes after that, but I was a walk-in and all their techs were occupied at the time so I don't think it was too bad. I only got a basic pedicure, but this was probably one of the most intricate basic pedicures I've received. They did the normal pedicure procedures and also gave me an exfoliating scrub and a lotion massage. My legs and feet are baby soft right now. Not only that, but I payed special attention to how to treated my pinky toe since I stubbed it recently and the nail was a bit of a mess, but they were so gentle and my nails still turned out fantastic. I admittedly did not expect much as I was walking from the parking lot, but the ambiance inside is splendid. Very relaxing and in inviting. I will definitely be coming by again! read more

Not bad. I can tell it's under new management. Decor and everything is the same, only that services are more of "spa" like. I used to go here when old management was there. I got pedicure, full set acrylic and brows done for $80 +tip. They guy's are not so talkative. I wish I got a lady because they were always talking with their clients. Kinda wish I had that so that I wasn't so bored the 2 hours I was there. But overall it wasn't bad and I'd like to come back and give it another try. I think the price was reasonable and probably a bit cheaper or about the same if I would have gone to another nail salon in the area. read more

Went in for a gen mani and the first person that helped me just got up and started a pedi on someone else and I had to switch stations to someone else. My gel manicure is literally the worst, horrible job painting my nail. Pic to prove it. read more

I am devastated about the unclean environment of the spa and the damage done to my natural nails, I have no idea what the name of my technician was but she seemed newer and she was extremely nail drill happy. This technician left my nails looking alright but it's just a cover to the painful mess she left underneath. I have litteral HOLES straight to the meat of my nail underneath these acrylic gel nails. On 4 of my nails she drilled all the way through my natural nails and cuticle to the point of bleeding and pain throughout the entire nail session. I asked many times for her to be gentle and i was told "this is the way it needs to be done" after asking why she drilled through my natural nails. The more I think about the damage the sadder I get because not only did I pay 55 not including tip but I believe they are very prone to infection now seeing how mid way through my appointment me and the friend i went with witnessed A mouse or rat or some kind of small rodent run across the floor and not only did we see it but so did the manager so this place is not only unclean and probably dangerous but also At least 1 of the technicians here will semi-permenently ruin your natural nails. Very disappointed read more

I freaking love this place. I LOVE IT! This place is the absolute cure for a long day. I stop by CNS when I'm in need for a pedicure. These ladies know how to treat you right. Not only are they the kindest and sweetest but they put 110% in. I've never had a bad pedicure with them. For $25 you will get the most relaxing and satisfying pedicure. Anyways go try this place out for yourself read more

I had a wonderful experience here the other day. I wanted a pedicure and I was accommodated right away as a walk-in customer. While I eventually ended up using my own color from home (I've got a tried and true essie polish that I love), they have a good selection. I was escorted to my massage chair/pedicure station and asked if I wanted anything to drink. That's kind of rare from the places I frequent, so bonus points for Chantilly Nail Spa for that nice touch! As a little note, if you are planning on coming with a friend, the pedicure chairs are kind of far apart, so talking to each other would not be discreet. I personally prefer the added space between chairs because it feels more private. Tara did an excellent job with everything--clean up, massage, polish, etc. I was so relaxed at the end, my legs felt a little like jelly! I'll be back--I feel like this is going to become my regular spot! read more

Very satisfied with my service here! I'm from out of town and was looking for a good spot to get a full set for a good price. I got a full set with gel and it cost me about $45 for a coffin shape. The lady I had was very efficient and I couldn't be more happier about my nails. I'm even thinking about coming in one more time before I go back to NY in a few weeks! read more

I've come here several times and have always been happy.... but today, not so much. I waited over an hour to get a basic pedicure. I sat next to the front desk for over 20 minutes before anyone even greeted me and asked me what I wanted. They asked me if I could wait 10 more minutes and I agreed, but it ended up being 30! Then when they finally pulled me back to the chair, I sat for another 20 minutes with my feet in lukewarm water. The pedicure itself was ok- but felt a bit rushed and only lasted about 30 minutes (the woman next to me got about 50 for the same level of pedicure service). Not the best customer service today.... Hoping it was just an "off" day- but I'm bummed. This place was my go-to for a while! read more

An update :) 17 days later and my gel mani especially in a pastel color is still holding up! That's rare in this DMV area (esp in the suburbs of NoVA) to find a person who does gel manis, including and especially light colors, VERY WELL. Already have an appt next week with the same lady - can't wait!! read more

I got acrylic nails done for the first time and I also got a regular pedicure and Stacy did such a great job. Extremely patient, and the acrylics lasted for a long time. Loved both colors and loved the results. Place is very clean with great service and happy customers. Would go again! read more

I showed them a picture of what I wanted and the finished product did not look like the picture. they made them shorter than I wanted and my left pinky nail is longer than my right pinky nail and you can very much tell the difference. read more

I found this place on a yelp and I am happy I went. Reasonable prices and they did a great job read more

I was looking through yelp for a nail salon to stop by after work and stumbled across Chantilly Nail Spa. Upon reading good reviews, I decided to give this place a try. I'm really glad I did because....... this place is amazing! The place is very spacious and clean and the decor is very up to date. The staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. I highly recommend Andy, especially if you are getting gel/acrylic nails! He was very professional, friendly, and paid close attention to detail. I went in for acrylic fill in/broken acrylic nail and he did an excellent job making sure my nails ended up looking perfect. Also,extremely sanitary as well, which is very important in nail salons. Every time I get acrylic nails done in other nail salons, i felt rushed. I end up with uneven, bumpy acrylic nails and most don't really pay close attention to detail. Acrylic nails usually last 2 weeks until i need another fill, but its been about 2 weeks and a half and it still looks great! I've already recommended this salon to several of my friends and I will definitely be a regular from now on! Price- 4.5/5 Staff- 5/5 Cleanliness-5/5 Service- 5/5 read more

I've been coming here more frequently and I must say, without an appointment you have to wait 15-30 minutes. They need more staff!!

Lynn did an excellent job on my toes, nails, and eyebrows! Extremely friendly staff and prices are excellent! I recommend this salon to anyone in the area! read more

I was on vacation and didn't have a chance to get my nails done prior to. I used the yelp app to help me find a nice reasonably priced nail Salon. I came to Chantilly nail spa on a Friday morning. I was greeted promptly and had no wait for my gel manicure. The gentleman who did my gel manicure took his time and did a wonderful job. He even assisted me in picking out a good color for my accent nail. The gel manicure was $30 and that included removing my old gel. I would recommend this salon to anyone and only wish I lived closer cause I would make this my new salon! read more

Went in today for a pedicure and a full set. I am usually satisfied with the service here, but today was the worse experience I've ever had. She was stoic and unpleasant. She Constantly pinched my skin while filing without apologizing. Polishing is messy as hell. I still paid and tipped her. But I will not let Kathy do my nails ever again. read more

I've been here a few times and I've been unimpressed most times. I come here more for convenience because it's close by but every time I've come in there's been a long wait at least 20 minutes. Today was no different the technician said it would be 15-20 minutes for a polish change for me and my friend. After about 25 minutes they begin to help my friend and tell me to wait. Then 40 minutes go by and I realize the same technician who's doing my friends toes is going to do mines. There's at least 5 other nail technicians and I understand they're all busy but every time I come(more than 5 times) it's like this they either should change their policy to not accept walk-ins or hire more staff. Besides that the work is pretty mediocre I've gotten acrylics, pedicures, and polish changes done here and I've never been impressed by the work which explains why I don't come regularly but this visit was the last straw and the reason why I feel compelled to leave a bad review. I won't be returning back and I would never recommend anyone to come here after getting great service at other salons nearby it's a shame this place hasn't stepped their game up for the prices they charge. They were going to charge me $25 for a gel polish change/take off old polish when at nearby salons I get it for $18. read more

I drive 30mins, sometimes even more, to get my nails done in this place. I LOVE IT. Been going for almost a year now to get acrylics done with the acrylics QUEEN KATHY and i never got disappointed. Kathy if you're reading this I love u. read more

I recently moved to the area & needed a new nail salon. 100% would recommend! They're very nice & take their time doing your nails. I didn't get his name but I had a nice gentlemen do my pedicure & full set & he literally did everything I said I wanted! My nails came out better than I expected. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I think this place is called Perfect Nails...everything looks brand new inside and is very clean. The place is huge. The lady that did my manicure did a good job. And I didn't have to wait, which is great. read more

Under new management. Before it was very unorganized, but now that they have switched owners it has changed my mind. I've been seeing my nail technician, Ann for over 7 years. I was so thankful when she decided to take over this salon because it was closer to my house and she does an amazing job! She is by far the best and I will be going to her forever! Try this salon you won't be disappointed! read more

Saw the good reviews on yelp and went over for a gel nail manicure with my mother! We were both walk ins and were helped with excellent attention to detail even though many people were coming in! My nails look great! Great communication which is something I don't see often in nail salons! I will definitely come back again! read more

Getting your nails done in northern Virginia is pricey. So finding an affordable and quality place can be daunting. However super grateful I found this place. The gel manicure is about 25? Dollars and I have found other places to be 30 dollars and above but that doesn't mean you will love it. I have come here many times and have been happy with what I paid and the attention I have received. I usually do just a gel and pedi so I'm not sure about nail art but they do have matte top coat for a $5 charge. Just an FYI and I would bring a cash tip! read more

I'm honestly extremely picky when it comes to my nails and I just wanted to find someone who wouldn't tell me that my nails are to whatever their excuse was for the gel polish shrinking when my hands went in for the light cure and I also wanted to find someone talented enough to cut and file my nails evenly. I found this salon and gave it a try...best decision ever. My first time here everyone was so nice and I had gotten ballerina tipped acrylics. Cathy shaped them perfectly and I was beyond happy with the outcome. Every time I come here everyone is so sweet and highly recommend you to leave whatever salon you're at now and go here. Cathy always makes sure my nails are nothing less than perfection before I leave and if I could give this place 10stars I would!!! Seriously love this place and Cathy!!! read more

Didn't even know this place existed until today, my first visit. The place is spacious, clean and calm. I got a pedicure and an eyebrow wax. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone that lives in chantilly - Fairfax county. read more

I love this nail salon! It has become my go to as my gel polish lasts for over three weeks, which in my experience is unheard of anywhere else. I continue to recommend this place to anyone who asks. read more

They told me to wait 15 mins which was ok I waited at least 30 or more. I got a full set and told her I like them really straight and she was rounding the edges so then to make them straight she shortened all my nails. Everything looked ok after the polish was done but it's been 1 week now and all my nails lifted and fell off!!! Pretty disappointing. It is a clean place with lots of color choices, but I won't be going back. read more

Exactly one week of normal wear and tear on my gel manicure I got last Friday afternoon. While it was only $25, the quality matches the price. I would have rather spent a couple more bucks somewhere else for my nails to last a little longer. read more

Walked in, stood there for couple minutes until someone finally came to me and ask what do I want. I asked if I can get a mani n pedi, the lady just literally walked back to her customer without saying a word, whether they are not available or I need to wait. Nothing. I stood there for couple more minutes and no one bother to talk to me. Poor customer service read more

This was my first time coming to Chantilly Nails. When I called to see if they were available, the person was honest and nice. She told me I'd have to wait at least 5min. As soon as I came in, I was attended. I've gone to other nail salons and I must say, this is my favorite. It's not noisy, rather calm and tranquil. I've noticed other salons are so busy and they only care about the next client, therefore, always rushing when polishing my nails- I can't stand that. Kim was sweet, she took her time and was diligent. I also noticed that I was her last client before heading home, however, she did such an amazing job with my nails. I am extremely satisfied with this salon. I will make sure to spread the word to my family . read more

I took my mom here, and she got an excellent service. Highly recommend KIM. She did a great job. Very friendly and will give you fabulous nails. Take her and you won't regret. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! By far the best nail salon I have been to. The people are so polite and welcoming. I will be sure to return many more times read more

This place was excellent! I got a manicure and pedicure with Gina she did a great job. I made an appointment before coming in and there was no wait. She suggested the spa pedicure which was a really nice experience. I will definitely be back read more

My main concern when I get a pedicure is cleanliness and I was very pleased with this salon. They use an autoclave to sanitize their nail implements, putting them in a separate sealed pouch for each customer. I felt comfortable that everything was clean (and I am pretty picky!) I got their Unwinding Spa Pedicure ($55) and Andy was my technician. He did an excellent job and was very precise in each step of the pedicure. The salon is large and uncluttered, with lots of space between the pedicure massage chairs. I was offered a cold drink when I arrived and made to feel very welcome. I highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Got regular acrylics done and the workers there were really nice and friendly! But tbh the quality of my acrylics could've been better. Turned out kind of bumpy and crooked. I got the coffin shaped and the person who did them did not make them very proportional. Could've been better read more
