If you want quality nail services done efficiently and at a reasonable price- Cindy's nails should be a go to for you. I come here for pedicures/gel manicures and they are often able to complete my services in an hour to hour and a half. This is a large salon and I enjoy the ambiance - just keep in mind that they are often busy. If you call in advance they can almost always squeeze you in. And they have a wide variety of nail colors- I love the 112 purple shade! read more

It's been a month since I've gotten my nails and toenails done. After 2 weeks of getting acrylics, I had to remove them - and man was it painful or what! Typically I just soak them in acetone and wait for it to loosen up and slide off. I'm pretty sure part of my nail got cut off so I had to wait for it to grow. I'm also pretty sure she drilled my nails too much because it's been exactly a month and they aren't back to their healthy nails. However, this review is mainly for my pedicure. As mentioned before my pedicure was only 30 minutes long and felt super rushed. It's been exactly a month and the nail polish is already chipping! My toes look disgusting! Even when I do my nails myself, the nail polish will last at least 1.5-2 months. I expect my nails to last even longer if I got them done at a salon. Considering it's winter and I haven't been wearing open toed shoes, not sure why the nail polish is chipping. I'm upset that this place didn't meet my expectations. I'm definitely going back to my regular salon for pedicures! read more

I treated my little brother to a pedicure as our family vacation approaches. We both got pedicures and the service we received was nothing what the reviews stated. The ladies who took care of us didn't wear name tags and when I asked for their name they began speaking in their language to disregard my question. The massage chair people talk about while getting a pedicure didn't work. The lady who serviced my feet let the water overflow and made a huge mess everywhere. She told me to walk barefoot to another chair as she was in the middle of clipping my toenails. The second chair also didn't function correctly. Due to the water spillage she caused, she tried to catch up my brother's treatment and I noticed she skipped everything he got. I feel ask if she took out her frustration on me and began cutting my toes aggressively and hurt me, as I said OUCH! She then tried to blame it on the form of my toenail; unacceptable. When I asked for a discount they laughed and told me to stay longer at a working chair for the massages. After speaking with the lady at the cashier, she apologized and charged me full price. I asked for a discount and she uncomfortably accepted after other customers who were around agreed they saw what happened and how we were treated. Men, do not go here, you will be treated unfairly and charged full price! Today, my big toe is still bleeding from her deep cut out of frustration. Any recommendations for men elsewhere will be high appreciated. read more

I came here a few weeks ago and had a pedicure. I tried to get a pedi and nails done today. I got a pedi. They were able to accommodate me and said we can do it. So I was happy. So I go to the pedi chair and the person came to do my dip nails, she started putting on my tips by the pedi chair putting on my tips. I know its done sometimes, so I didnt think twice. I looked over at my nails and I mentioned my tip was shifting to the right (crooked) and I thought to myself, it was because she is standing up,I was being understanding, but asked for her to please replace, it was going fine, so I assumed. She put it on again and it was crooked again, this happens sometimes and I politely addressed it again, she stopped abrubtly and said someone else will do your nails. I was confused, like what did I do? Noone came, they all looked down the shop but noone came what did she say about me? Everyone stopped to look at me. It was embarrassing. My nails were soaked in acetone to get the tips off and she tried to clean them but left it dry and pieces of glue and tip on there. Then this one lady came and was very vocal and came and looked at my nails with tip and glue and this was going to be another stand by the pedi chair, not station , she said some more things to the previous nail tech and was hesitant, so I felt uncomfortable and asked should I come back another time and she immediately said yes. I never have been treated in this manner. Management was willing to have someone else do my nails. I accepted, but as I was explaining and why I was confused about what happened. I wanted to explain what happened noone wanted to do my nails. I was as polite as possible and did not make a scene. I explained to the manager what happened and as I walked by and the tech who didnt work on my nails , she started saying thats not true. She called me a liar, basically. I told the manager, I am sorry, I am not going to give you anymore business. I paid for my pedicure and left. Pictures speak for themselves. read more

Only giving 1 star because they did a great job of taking off my old dip powder. I was a walk in and was seated right away after choosing a dip powder. Their dip powder selection was very scarce in comparison to other nail salons. I was seated at one station to remove my old dip and then was quickly shuffled to another station a few moments later (super weird). I will note that when removing my previous dip the nail tech was very gently. At other nail salons (Sandy Nails) they have removed my dip so harshly that it's removed parts of my natural nail but Cindy Nails didn't do that which was great! After removing the dip, my nail tech did not clean or do anything with my cuticles. She simply started applying my new dip powder. Everything felt super rushed and in the end I was given a very sloppy manicure. I don't think I can even call what is on my hands a manicure bc this seriously sucks. This was not worth $45 and will be going elsewhere to have this removed. read more

I am so thrilled to say that I have finally found a nail salon worth driving from D.C. to Rockville for. This is my 5th time here and I can promise you that you definitely get what you pay for (service, professionalism, and customer service). Cindy's is one of those places where you can make a reservation, but literally everyone is just as experienced with super short nails, damaged nails and long nails. They make great conversation with a guarantee that you will be out of there in about 30 minutes (depending on what you get obviously and in this case, I always get gel). Their polish is always new and usually lasts a little over 2 weeks. The salon is very clean and so are their tools. They also have a parking lot, they're walking distance to white flint metro station and Pike&Rose. Best of all, their employees have been there for YEARS. read more

Pretty average pedicure here. Would've been higher rated, but they did not put a liner in the foot tubs. I can only hope I don't get any diseases. The woman also kept telling me to put my feet on the bare portion of the tub without a towel on there. I might sound like a clean freak but this is really what all the other places i've been to regularly provide. The pedi itself was fine but then she rinsed me off with cold water. Not pleasant. So my feet were cold even though it was 90 degrees outside. She comes back with a hot towel which felt extra hot bc my feet were cold. Polish selection was a bit limited. I wanted a neon color for summer and they only had neon yellow or green, neither looked appealing. She ended up picking out a blue for me. It looked nice until it chipped after a week. That is extra irritating when the polish doesn't last. It rarely happens to me because i'm generally in flip flops in the summer. read more

I have been going to Cindy's nails every week(reg mani) to 3 weeks (gel) for over 6 years. I love it there. They do a GREAT gel manicure and pedicure and have colors for days. They also have tons of seating and you can always walk in! The nail service itself is great, and they cater well to children too. Almost anyone you get there will do a fantastic job, and with the probably hundreds of manicures I've gotten there, I've never had a "bad" experience.

Was looking for a new place to get a pedicure. I don't do it often and am a bit picky!…read more I live close by and decided to look into Kosmo Nail Bar. I read reviews and they're mostly great! I made an appointment online. Very easy. Picked which pedicure I wanted, any extras etc. they let me know that I would be emailed or texted to confirm which they did. Parking is ample and plenty! I parked right across from the salon. Upon entering it smells divine!!! Like lavender and lemongrass.. not sure what it was but it was so good ! Clean, elegant and quiet too. Not too big, not too small. My nail tech was Kristy. I showed her a picture of the toenail polish design that I wanted and she said "ok, I can do that for you". I chose the full moon pedicure that includes scrub, cream, paraffin wax and a 20 minute massage. It was wonderful and well needed !!! Kristy then began the nail polish and design. She took her time and even then she was quite fast. The design came out exactly as I'd asked. BEAUTIFUL!!! I was so happy and let her know. Kristy was kind and friendly throughout and so was the front desk assistant. There's an ATM inside for cash tip. I asked Kristy if she had other payment options (for tip only) and she shared her Venmo handle with me. Overall I was very very happy!! I found my new pedicure place and will definitely be back!!!

I can't even run my finger through my hair not to mention some of my hair strands are white and not blonde!!! Stephanie if your assistant doesn't understand how important processing time is maybe it's time to teach her! I will never return and I don't recommend your Salon! You are very unprofessional! Offering to give me a deep hair treatment will not fix over processed brassy hair! Next time have some sense and call your client back! By the way I paid $440 for my hair! FYI by the way years ago she bargained prices so that's how it use to work Stephanie. I see things have changed! But the quality of service has gone down. The picture you took of my hair was a small shot. You never even sent me the pics which I asked for. You wanted to me to leave. Let's not talk about the choppy haircut you gave me to hide the broken hair. Not taking accountability or even caring for your clients is a terrible way to run your business.

All my friends who go say that Blu Water is like no other- getting your nails done in the spa truly feels indulgent. I got a massage done there and it was literally the best massage of my life. So when it came time to get my skin in order, I trusted Blu Water's technicians. I found Ivetta and I am SO glad I did. After I turned 50 I noticed my skin changing. A year later, my skin lost all of its elasticity and I was breaking out- no doubt a loss of estrogen and after taking some pretty serious meds. I scheduled an appointment for a specific service but when I showed up, Ivette took a look at my skin and made recommendations for a different service. After three treatments with her over the course of about two and a half months, my skin has completely turned around! It's absolmutely glowing! It's even, my pores are smaller and it's tighter. It was just starting to crepe- GONE! And even the dark circles under my eyes are lighter. It's abs amazing and I never thought I could be that woman with pretty skin. My husband stopped me today and said "your skin looks amazing." No make up! I wish I'd done it sooner and I'll never see anyone else!

Ladies pay attention on my review Owner Paid for YELP to take the TRUE off (they took my friend review off) Ladies look for all the shop around before TRUSTING YELP Why other SHOPS are over 10 years and only few BAD REVIEW???? Laddies !!! Don't Go here Never come to the empty place to get the RUSH JOB I've been here 2 times, a good friend treats us when I come to visit. My first time was good, 2 stars, but this last time was less than exceptional. There was a young woman who was clearly the daughter try to rush for my manicure and pedicure, the issues of dirty no clean tools at all. My two friends had great experiences for their spa manicure and pedicure. The staff that worked with them were solid and thorough. No wait at all. seem empty. had the pedicures begin. The chairs do massage which is nice and they are not very loud. When a staff person came to me, Mindy, she was less than welcoming. She didn't ask if I wanted my nails cut, she just started cutting, she hardly spoke to me, and she was done with my pedicure (where I needed polish to be removed and applied) BEFORE my 2 friends, again both men who are not using polish. Clearly she rushed through this. For my hands she did the same thing. She also took a phone call while doing my nails, which bothered me a bit, but when I realized it was a client calling her I figured "why hate on her hustle" but was a bit sad when I saw it was a much older (at least 60) man who has her personal cell phone number and expects her to cater to him and will interrupt others appointments to get his needs met. she left my manicure to go write his name on the appointment book before he arrived. When he arrived he interrupted again to ask which chair to sit in to wait for her to attend to him. No massage of any sort, she was basically going through the motions. I bet that dude who showed up would have what the services are expected to provide. My manicure was completed BEFORE my friend, again who was not receiving any polish application. My polish was a rush job, it started chipping in a few hours. She tried to get me to do a gel manicure but when I said "no" she didn't push, which I appreciated. If I had paid for this I would have been so mad, but this is a hit or miss kind of spot. The older women are more thorough from my experience, but the location is good, products good, and a good selection of essie and opi colors. TRUE REVIEW for RUSHING JOBS DON't GO HERE read more

I go to the nail salon every two weeks. I get a gel manicure. Stacey is the best and she usually does my nails. Unfortunately, yesterday Stacey was off. So I took my chances and got my nails done by someone else. HUGE MISTAKE. The lady I saw was the owner's sister. She is little older compared to the rest. DO NOT LET HER WORK ON YOUR NAILS! She starts to take the shellac off my nails. Since she was in a rush she did not let the cotton balls with the acetone sit on my nails for long so she was struggling to take the polish off, she proceeded to get the bottle of acetone and squirt acetone on each nail one by one to take the extra shellac off my nail in a beyond rough manner. After, the shellac is all off she starts to cut my cuticles, and that ended up in a mess when she caused me to bleed on two different nails. I thought manicures were supposed to be relaxing. I guess not. So later, she starts to paint my nails and put them under the light. The final product was a disaster between it having bumps and the side being clumpy. She finishes off by putting lotion on my hands, first hand is left with lotion still on my hand and she proceeds to tell me I'm done and to go pay. As I go to pay I realize how much worse the nails look, so I pay them for the horrible service, tip, and immediately ask when Stacey will be back so I can book an appointment with her. I book my appointment for the very next day. I booked my appointment with the owner. He sees how unhappy I am. I walk to my car and realize that I can't walk around for a whole day with my nails looking as if a child painted them. So I go back in and ask them to take off the polish and that I would have them fixed the following day. Next day, I go in and have Stacey fix my nails! They ended up looking great. But as I am leaving they try to charge me another $25, when I had already paid $35 the day before and they were well aware of this. They tried to tell me that I should of complained the day before to avoid being charged twice. I explained to the owner that I did complain and that I was so unhappy I had the polish taken off immediately. Should I have to pay again because a job that was not done properly the first time and was left with two bleeding fingers? Poor customer service on behalf of the owner and his sister. read more

I didn't really enjoy my experience here...in fact, quite the opposite...it was stressful. My pedicure was terrible, RUSHING. I had a french gel manicure with the girl that works there. She is not very detail oriented and her english is not good at all (such that I couldn't even communicate to her what I wanted). I asked for rounded square. Some of my nails were VERY square and some were round square and some were round. I asked him to fix this, and she did...although one of my nails was filed such that it made my nail look crooked. She asked me if I wanted my nails short, I told her I like the length they are now, just make them clean and even (which would mean you can cut them to make them the same length). She read this as not to take off any length, even if they are not even with the other nails. Because of this, to get the whites of the french manicure right, he showed my nailbeds on some of my nails (some, not all...which would show that they were NOT the same length)...which is the sign that you need to get a french manicure redone because it's grown out! This is unacceptable! She redid it and her face looked vary RUDE to me. In addition to showing the nail beds, the french part of the manicure was very sloppy in general. Some of my nails' white line didn't look straight, didn't go to the edge, or even the white was ran down from the line into my nail bed on the side. I asked him to fix it...had to get the sweet guy at the front to translate for me. The owner is argumentative that the customer was in the wrong, but they will fix it (I heard this argument with two other customers while I was in there). She tried to fix it, and only made it worse. I asked for the owner to fix it, and it did look a lot better...of course I could still see the beneath white lines of the previous try. In the end, after three tries, my nails are fine and not embarrassing. My pedicure had is terrible. I didn't enjoy the attitude of the owner or the sloppiness of the man's technique. I also didn't enjoy that noone could understand me except the poor man that works at the front who had to get in the middle of all issues in the store. anyway, my polish chip off in 2 days. I will not be back for RUSHING. read more

I joined yelp specifically to write a review about this salon. Now, I don't trust YELP after I knew that Onwer paid for YELP to rated them good. I have been here twice once for a pedi and eyebrow wax and the second time for a mani/pedi and eyebrow wax. The mani and pedis were too quick, rushing to get another customer, and a little higher price than someone closer to this salon. The main technician was not overly friendly, she was rude. The salon is comfortable and appears smelly, not clean tools. However, the eyebrows waxing were a problem. The first time I went the job was just so-so, no cooling lotion or clean up after so I should have known better to get them done there again. But I was there so I figured why not? The wax was too hot and it burned my skin above my eyelids and below my eyebrows. It felt a little warm she asked me if it was too hot but by then it was already on my face with a strip of paper on it, so I don't see why it mattered. Afterwards my eyebrows were tingling and the salon worker kept looking at my eyebrows, so I figured something was up. I asked if I was red and she said yes so I asked for lotion. The lotion she applied burned so much it brought tears to my eyes. She said I had sensitive skin and should just put cold water on at home and it would be fine. I've gotten my eyebrows done many times and NEVER had a reaction like this. A day later my eyebrow area was red and swollen and the burn marks, two red slashes beneath my eyebrows, are dry and starting to scab. I'm furious that this happened and furios that they tried to tell me my skin was senstive when in reality they burned me. I feel that the worker clearly knew she had done something wrong. I will never, ever go back here. NO MORE TRUST YELP read more

Stay Away! Owner PAID for YELP to rated them good. I used to go there about once or twice a month and would get a great manicure and pedicure. After moving to big as factory nail. I stopped going there as regularly. While in the area this past weekend, I decided to try get a mani/pedi there. It was an uncomfortable experience. The nail tech had to rush quickly finished the woman he was working on and motion me that they are rushing to get another client. She worked very methodically and rushed through the pedicure for 15 minutes. I asked for the sides of my big toe to be cut down which he never did except for cutting the skin side of the toe and letting it bleed. She did not seem to care that it was bleeding and just smiled and continued doing it. It was a horribly painful pedicure. The manicure was not any better. My nails are still uneven and look as though they have not been filed or cleaned up. A few hangnails remained after the manicure though she did hurt my nail bed. I was so relieved when the mani/pedi was over. She actually had the guts to ask about an eyebrow wax. If the mani/pedi was painful, I can only imagine what the eyebrow was would have been like. This is a place to avoid. None of the employees who were there two years ago are still there. all new employee had once told me that the owner expected them to work fast and simple which this girl seemed to do. With management like that, I can not blame the old employees for not staying. It is sad that the quality has dropped so drastically. The polish came off in 2 days. I decided to try out LA NAILS, 1 block away, they do much better job. read more

Cindy Nails is undoubtedly one of the best nail salons in the Rockville and Bethesda area. My family and I have been going here for over 5 years, and within all our visits, we have all left there with satisfactory and quality service. Rachel, Luy, and the front staff have always provided me with accommodating and cooperative service. Especially during the pandemic, the owners have gone beyond to follow the CDC's safety protocols. All staff wear mask, gloves, and wash their hands frequently. They clean the chairs well and use table sheets to ensure your safety. They also have plexiglass covers for every manicure and pedicure stations. In terms of nail services, they have a variety of colors, ranging from regular nail polish to gel, dip, and acrylic. If you don't find the color you are looking for, they will find it for you, check in the back, and even order it for you for your next visit. Although I don't have a particular nail stylist, all of the nail technicians have provided me with exceptional service. My nail technicians in the past, who have done an amazing job, include Jessica, Wendy, Tien, and Tracy. Overall, I would highly recommend this nail salon to everyone. The staff are very professional, friendly, and patient! read more

A friend of mine recommended Cindy Nails when I asked for a good place to get a Brazilian wax. I didn't request a specific person and when I got there I was told Wendy would be waxing me. First, the place itself felt a little factory-like, with a lot of tables and rooms for waxing...it felt very impersonal. I was told to go to room #3, and waited a few minutes for Wendy. She came in and without many words started my wax. It was horribly painful, she went over the same areas repeatedly. She was not gentle and I wasn't able to understand much of the few words she said to me. I felt completely uncomfortable and ended the appointment early to go home and finish the job with tweezers. Never going here again. In my opinion, you get exactly what you pay for with the cheap cost of $38. read more

She was super sweet and was very understanding that it was my first time. She asked me constantly if I was alright, which to my surprise didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Jennifer worked fast but precise. It only took about 15 or so minutes and the results were fantastic. The chocolate wax smells sooo nice.

I have been going to this salon for as long as Louie and Mai have owned it. Their prices are fair and their service speed is excellent -- without sacrificing quality. And once they know you there, the services improves even further. Mai is the best bikini waxer I have ever visited (even compared to Red Door and other higher-end salons) and Jennifer does the best shellac nails...my manicure lasts longer than 2 weeks...almost 3 when she does them! (but she's popular, so ask for an appointment if you want Jennifer or be prepared to wait). read more

I love this place. It's the only place in the DMV that I trust for bikini waxing, because Jennifer is absolutely incredible. As painless as can be, and pays great attention to making it the best experience possible. Jennifer is quick, efficient, well-priced, and always remembers you, which really does make a difference. I've had pedicures here many times as well, and I've always been happy with the color selection, the cleanliness, and most of all the time and effort they put in to making it a great pedicure. read more

I am writing to share with you a very talented manicurist, Julie at Cindy's Nails in Rockville. Julie is the best manicurist in the DC Metro Area. She completes the manicure and pedicure with attention to detail and completely removes any excess cuticle and leaves skin soft and smooth. The shop is sanitary, which is important, and the treatment includes a hot towel like in first class. Also, she is great at waxing. I would call ahead to make an appointment with Julie because she is very busy. read more

I came a little late for a pedicure and they still took me and worked after hours to finish my pedi. I really appreciated Cathy as she stayed to help me out and provided quialty service to me.

I also want to mention how clean and comfortable this place is, the place as a whole is very new looking and spacious with pleasant decoration's and awesome massage chairs. You can get many services here and all are reasonably priced. Thank you again Cathy so much for your time and energy I truly enjoyed talking with you and getting the best pedicure I ever had.

This is my first ever yelp review, and it's because I love this place so much…read more I have now gone three times for a gel manicure, and the ladies took their time and were incredibly thorough on the prep, gently removed the previous gel without damaging my nails, and just generally did an incredible job. All of my sets lasted close to a month with little to no chipping until the last week. The only reason I had to get a new set was how grown out they were! I also got a gel pedicure two months ago that hasn't chipped at all. Overall, the most long lasting gel I've had in the DMV area. Wonderful service, clean location, and stellar results. Wanted to gatekeep but had to share!

It was so uneven and streaky that I actually went home and removed it myself. Before leaving the salon, I asked the technician to remove it because I wasn't happy with how it looked. Instead, she continued adding more layers and insisting that it looked good. It was frustrating and disappointing. Then I finally found a technician I absolutely loved, Edith. She was fantastic. Her work was clean and precise, and her massage was incredible. She was exactly the kind of technician I had been looking for. Unfortunately, Edith is no longer at the salon. I've asked the salon for her contact information, but they will not provide her cell phone number. If anyone reading this knows Edith and has her contact information, I would really appreciate it if you could send me a message. I'd love to find out where she is working now and continue seeing her.

I was running late…read moreand was able to push it back a few times, which led me to believe that they weren't busy or didn't get that much business. Upon arrival, I notice that inside was pretty big but also tight because they were packed. Most of the technicians had people in their chairs. They just move really quickly and were able to get folks in and out. I got a full set with Lee. I also got a pedicure but unfortunately, I forget the boys name who did it. The pedicure didn't even last one day, which was so disappointing. By the time I got to my event the following day, most of my toes had already chipped off. It's so frustrating when you pay for a service that doesn't last. When I do my toenails myself, they last for weeks because I don't use cheap polish to begin with, as well as I use SECHE VITE (a fast drying top coat) to seal the deal. I wish nail salons would invest in this and other quality polish for regular mani/pedis. Anyways, I absolutely LOVED my full set and am glad I found Lee. She was quick and efficient, although she had to keep leaving to answer phones, etc (maybe she's one of the bosses or managers). But I will continue to get my full sets with Lee.

(4/5) I've been…read morecoming to Nails Allure for 3+ years now, and overall, it's one of the better nail salons I've tried. The biggest tip I can give: always book an appointment--the service is way better when you do. Jenny is amazing with designs (hands down the best!), and her partner Andy does the cleanest polish jobs. They're both super professional and clearly know what they're doing. I've had a few hiccups here and there--like once I paid $70 (plus $10 tip) just to get my nails taken off and filed. My nails ended up super brittle and honestly, it felt like a waste. I wouldn't recommend that service--just get them redone instead. Also, I've been cut before to the point of bleeding (not with Jenny or Andy, but another tech), so just a heads-up. That said, most of the staff here are really good: Sofia is gentle and cleans my nails better than anyone else, even Jenny sometimes. Hannah takes her time and does a great job--super patient and detail-oriented. Julie knows her stuff and is really steady with her work. Sometimes Jenny can feel rushed, so I rotate between techs depending on how I'm feeling and what I want done. At the end of the day, I definitely recommend Nails Allure. I've had way worse experiences elsewhere, and despite a few bumps, I keep coming back.Good vibes.
