This nail salon is one of the best in Arlington. I've had my nails done here for 3+ years. It's clean and they're up on nail trends. I prefer Tracy and KimHa for my dip powder or tap builder gel manicures. My nails always look great and last for weeks. No lifting or chipping. They use care to remove the nails and treat your natural nails with care. My natural nails grow so fast when I come here consistently. read more

I absolutely love this nail salon! I usually see Kim or Wanda depending on their availability, but honestly everyone here is great. The whole team is professional, friendly, and always makes you feel welcome. The service is excellent and the prices are very fair. I had given my nails a break from acrylics for a while, but now I'm back to acrylic--and of course I went straight to them! Even when I wasn't getting my nails done, I'd still stop by just to say hi because I truly missed them. Such a special place. Highly recommend! read more

I called Coatroom at the recommendation of a friend on the off chance they had an opening on a Wednesday afternoon, they told me to come on in! I had a gel manicure with Kim Ha, who did an excellent job. The place is super cute, lots of nail polish colors and reasonable prices. Everyone I encountered was friendly and they did a good job. I will definitely be back. Parking in Ballston is metered streets or parking garages. read more

I've been going to Coatroom Nails since 2022, and it has truly become my guilty pleasure. Not only do my nails always look amazing, but it's also my time to unwind and socialize with Wanda and all the friendly faces who work there--Kim, KimHa, Tracy, just to name a few. I haven't found another place that offers this level of quality, cleanliness, and genuinely kind service. When Wanda has traveled, I've seen several other technicians, and they've all been wonderful. You really can't go wrong with Coatroom Nails. read more

This place used to be super cute and good but now it's just a regular nail salon except slightly cuter. They removed the nice couches and put in regular pedi chairs. It's not the hip spot it used to be. The polish tower has been pushed into the wall. The ambiance has changed. I made an appointment online for a pedicure with basic nail art. The text confirmation was missing words. I arrived early which was good because they took me early. Some people were waiting 20 minutes past their appointment times, so appointments are not honored. The manager checked me in and I showed her my nail art inspiration. She tried to push a manicure too, which is unacceptable. My nail tech was awful. I don't think she'd ever done nails before. She cut me and didn't want to get the Styptic, which is dangerous and a health concern. She tried to push callus remover on me. My tech didn't know how to do nail art so she tried and screwed up. She asked a colleague to help her and the colleague said no. She finally got the manager, who did the nail art, but it's not great. The other colleague walked by and laughed at the nail art and said something nasty. My tech didn't know how to use the checkout system. I used to love visiting Coatroom. Now, I'll never return. read more

I haven't gotten my nails done in over a year, and one of my friends recently got into nails and had encouraged me to get mine done again. While on a walk, I saw that Coatroom was nearby my apartment so I decided to stop by spontaneously at around 11 AM on a weekday. They took walk-in appointments, which was nice, and I was instructed to wash my hands upon walking in. The interior of Coatroom looked pretty clean so I had high hopes. I wish I looked at the Yelp reviews first before coming in. Getting gel nails was $39, but since I haven't gotten my nails done in so long, I didn't know what to expect. I requested for white and no problems there. It took my nail technician over an hour to paint my nails which was pretty long based on what I've heard from other friends. The end results were pretty disappointing. I attached the pictures, but my biggest complains were how weird the cuticle lines looked and the overall messiness of the nail coats. The polish near the cuticle lines looked crooked and unprofessionally done. Additionally, I could see the gel polish on my finger pads since my nail technician did not do a good job cleaning the polish for a smooth shape or look. Additionally, the shape of my nails looked weird, too. To be honest, I don't really know how to appropriately describe how my nails looked besides "crusty" since I don't regularly get my nails done. To note, my hands were very dry that day as well, which definitely contributed to the crustiness. I just know they looked pretty bad considering I did pay money to get them professionally done. I attached pictures of my nails after my manicure if anyone's curious. I'm writing this review about two weeks since getting my nails done at Coatroom. Within a week, my nails began chipping. Additionally, the top parts of the polish would get caught in my hair when I wash my hair or something because the polish started peeling off. Not only did my nails look unprofessionally done, it was not a quality manicure whatsoever. Overall, I would not recommend this place and not surprised to see that the average is only a 3/5 on Yelp. I'm only giving it a 2/5 instead of a 1/5 because the place was clean and the nail technician was pretty nice. read more

Good service and clean space, but I felt treated differently because I chose the regular manicure. While I know it's cheaper than other services, I usually do that because my nails don't tolerate gel. So, I felt like if you're not doing an expensive manicure, the services might feel rushed. read more

My skin got bruised badly that I could see my red inner flesh on the side of my nails. I remember flinching every time she filed that particular nail but I didn't get a remorse or even an attempt at going gentler with the filing process, it made me wonder if the pain was in my head. She was somewhat aggressive with the nail file and buffer that I remember regretting ever considering doing my nails. Now I have some anxiety about if they even sterilize their nail files and buffers because I think they use the same files and buffer for all the customers. Oh and I paid around $88 dollars for the nails. read more

This was my first visit here! Didn't see it at first because of the construction scaffolding, but heard about this place from a friend~ Got a gel manicure with the cat-eye effect for $55, a little pricey but love the effect! My technician, Kim, was very thorough and cleaned up my nails so nicely! She did 3 coats and cleaned the edges. You can pick silver or gold for the cat-eye effect and any color for the base~ then a magnet is used to complete the effect! Hope they last, since I love them so much! read more

They used to be good, but recently I've been disappointed. I got my nails done last Wednesday and not even a week later my cuticles are a mess which had NEVER happened to me before. The lady doing my nails was ripping around my nail bed to shreds . My dip also didn't cure and two of my nails are a mess. I genuinely have had good experiences here, but I think I'll be shopping around from this point read more

After a long beach trip, my legs and arms are scratched up but my nails are still A+. The manicurists here are great but the entire process was disorganized. Here are some tips to make your process less painful than mine: -They don't honor appointments. I even called to confirm. However, when I arrived, Kim, (the nail tech I requested) was starting with another customer. There's no one at the register, all the nail techs ignored me, so I checked in and waited. -Don't let a random tech do your nails, and have a couple of colors in mind before coming. After 30 min of waiting, a lady shaped my nails. She didn't put much care into it, and my nails turned out slanted at the edge. She handed me a stack of nail colors, said "we don't have" to every color I picked, and tried to pull out some bright pink when I wanted a nude. -Kim is great! She stepped in and did my nails with a nice nude white she had. It wasn't the nude pink I wanted, but Kim did a beautiful job and was very meticulous. I recommend reading past reviews and taking note of any names mentioned. read more

I have never been more annoyed with my nails. I think I tried this place once and didn't like and now I see why. I came supper early yesterday, this lady started working on me ( and then when someone who came in who was getting something more expensive she stopped and went to her. Another lady came and started working on it. The weird part was I sat down, she hands like 10 nail colors and I asked are there more, there were a ton more. I was going for some neutral. They are horrible; one is already starting to chip. I told her i didn't like it and the lady who started doing my nails, and there both like "it's nice " like ok but i don't like it. She only did two coats of the polish so i'm wondering if that's why it looks like this. read more

I've been coming to Coatroom for the past year since new management has taken over and I must say, I'm impressed every single time with my manicure and pedicure.

They are all always so polite to me when I'm there and so accommodating when I need an appointment. I highly recommend Wanda and her team over at Coatroom read more

I got my nails done here and I will never go back. I showed my nail tech a picture of what I wanted and the flowers are not the same and she didn't even follow the picture and added some dots onto my nail. The flowers she did were the flowers I used to do myself when I was in middle school. I would put dots in a circle and take a toothpick to connect it to the middle, which is exactly what she did. Also, I had to ask her multiple times to fix my nails because they weren't even filed straight. They were slanted! Anyways, I don't recommend! read more

So the reason why I decided to try this place was because of the décor I saw when attending the taste of Arlington. I signed up and was advised I would get $5.00 off during my first visit. I called to schedule an appt because I was unable to set an appt thru the app for 2:30pm. When I arrived I stood in line to be checked in for my appt. When checked in I mentioned I had attended the taste of Arlington and was told I would get $5.00 off my service which the receptionist advised she would note and also take add'l $5.00 off for my friend's service as well. I waited by the drying the station to get serviced. The cube chairs were really small so if someone bigger needed to sit they would be uncomfortable. I typically get my nails and pedicure done at Mon Cheri Nails in Springfield mall which cost about the same for service but you get more of spa experience even when you select the standard. The standard mani and pedi includes paraffin treatment which is normally addl cost at other nail salons plus they have massage chairs and bubble massage. So rewind to my pedi experience at the coatroom. They place liner in the pedi bowl and place bath bomb in the water. I've used bath bombs from Lush and normally they are so strong the smell circulates the room which this didn't. I wasn't even asked which bomb I wanted but my friend was asked. The nail techs didn't even talk the whole time we were getting pedicures. I felt like I was getting a pedi in a bath of water. Prior to this pedi experience being completed three woman came in for Pedi's and one was serviced immediately while the other two waited in the pedi area with her. The receptionist came over to ask if they wanted water while they waited and also asked some other patrons but failed to asked my friend and I which I tried to brush off. Than as I waited in line to pay the bill I heard the receptionist quote the total to the two women ahead of me paying prior to swiping there card. When I got to the desk I reminded her of the discount which she disregarded and proceed to charge my card for both pedicures without advising me of the grand total as she did with the other patrons. I will never return to this place. read more

I won't be returning to Coatroom. After being a loyal customer for almost 2 years, I am done! I used to see Lily or Vinny, but both are gone. The quality has gone down tremendously. When you walk in it's all new faces, no consistency- except the prices, they consistently go up! It's crazy. What used to be a cute, chic nail salon, my go to for a gel mani/pedi... not anymore! Pictures below are from my last and final gel manicure at Coatroom. It's been exactly one week, the corners are peeling, tops are chipping, etc. really regret the $40 I spent last week. Onto the next one. It's can be so hard to find your go to nail salon, any suggestions? read more

Don't go here for dip. I broke two nails in one week following my appointment, because they poorly applied the dipping powder-- filing the nail bed too thin and poor application of the powder. When I went back for a fix, they charged me for tip. Also, terrible customer service. Don't expect a hello when entering. They are very much a money hungry business. read more

The guy staying at the front desk is sooo bothersome! He should not be dealing with customers. I was looking at the nail colors and i placed the colors on the chair as I was settling and he came running like"place the colors there" like chill im mot taking it home.

While visiting a friend in Arlington I came in for a manicure and usually my gel nails last a good month before starting to peel at the bottom and here it sadly didn't last that long. At first I thought it looked fine but on FaceTime with my mother she thought it looked very poorly done. The color choices are also very less. They didn't even have a basic gray in gel. The nail technician also didn't use cuticle oil or lotion to massage. Definitely not worth $40.00. Also, I didn't feel as if any extra covid precautions were taken. I wouldn't get my nails done here again. read more

I love this nail salon. It's immaculately clean and spacious. The technicians are professional and experienced.

I recently moved to ballston Arlington in Nov 2020 and needed a new nail place. This place was right down the street so I thought why not! In the midst of a pandemic they were still able to take me and my aunt in as a walk in and were very accommodating. The place is clean & the massage chairs are bomb. I first got the owner, Brian, as my nail tech but moving forward he was always booked! The next time I got my girl KIM and I have been a loyal clients of hers since. I typically get a gel pedicure and manicure so I cannot speak for acrylics but just know that these employees strive for perfection and have never let me down. Also, John is funny and keeps the atmosphere light and friendly! Definitely give this place a chance. They have a point system if you sign in with your phone number when you walk in. They also send you coupons and do happy hour prices. read more

I came to get my nails done after I saw a deal on Groupon. While it was acceptable I was rather insulted when I asked if this was the Color I had chosen. I had requested what was a nude with brown undertones. Instead of agreeing that this was not in fact the color she continued to say it was a brown as if I'm blind not to recognize the difference between brown and pink ... I let them finish because I was tired of being there for an hour and a half. But to blatantly lie and pretend this was a nude was Insulting to say the least. I will not be going back. Another thing she acted like my nails were to short to point when I have pointed them before and they were shorter i will not be going back read more

There's a garage right next door to the shop, which costs, but otherwise there's no good street parking. read more

I came in with an appointment and was taken pretty quickly without a wait but ended up leaving disappointed. I showed the example picture to a couple nail artists who suggested I should do SNS French to achieve it which I had never done before. I showed the picture various times but unfortunately my nail tech did not understand. I didn't realize that the white could not be adjusted with SNS so after the first hand when I told her the white was too thick she just said sorry. I kept asking throughout if she could fix it and she replied yes but it wasn't until the very end of the manicure that she said no, not fixable. The only suggestion by the manager was to file my nails shorter but they had already been filed too much to thin out the lines. Overall I would not come back here and do SNS again. The manicure looks sloppy and you can see the dip powder on my nail bed. read more

I am so incredibly disappointed with how my appointment was handled. Here's the full story: A friend and I came in at 5:30 for SNS manicures (including removal), and we were told to come back at 6. When we came back, my friend was immediately sat with someone and I waited for a few minutes at my seat. I was sat on a side where no one else was, and while I was a bit disappointed they didn't just seat us next to each other when they could have, I was fine with waiting a bit. Then the experience got worst. The woman who sat my friend and worked on her SNS removal rushed over and started working on my removal. She didn't even sit down - she was standing up and helping check out other guests while quickly working on my nails and making a bit of a mess with the acetone. I was feeling a bit stressed because of this because it was hurting at times because she wasn't being careful. I decided to let it go - she clearly was busy so whatever. She put my nails in foil and went back to work on my friend's nails. I then waited for around 20-30 minutes with foil on - in this time no one told me sorry about the wait or anything. Now I was getting annoyed. Another employee finally came over and started taking the foil off, also rushed, scraping off most of the polish but started getting impatient and giving up so she put the foil back on and went back to her original customer. (Listen, I know it usually takes two rounds of foil to get the polish off but she seemed to be quite annoyed by this.) I then waited for ANOTHER 20-30 minutes with the foil until finally, my friend's entire manicure was finished and I was sat in her seat. I was so annoyed and feeling impatient that I asked for no polish/manicure, just for her to finish the SNS removal and file my nails down shorter so that I could leave. She tried to convince me to change my mind and I kindly replied no thanks multiple times. She also refused to file my nails shorter after I asked because she said they look nice long (right after telling me they would break if I didn't get an SNS manicure). She told me to come back tomorrow to get the polish - I simply agreed just to end the conversation. So, I walked out of the salon after a full hour with no manicure and long nails that I had to cut/file by myself at home. My friend expressed that her manicure also felt rushed and she wasn't happy with the service either, but the woman did apologize to her. But I received no acknowledgement by any of the staff that I was waiting, no apologies for the long wait time. Just horrible treatment and service. I am absolutely never returning to this place. read more

I want to like this salon more because it's so close to me and has a modern vibe. They have a rewards system (Five Stars) but their system is always down so you can't check in to accrue awards or to redeem them. They also have an app you can download to book appointments but it seems they don't honor technician requests. I specifically requested Kathy for one appointment and I walked in and she's elbows deep just having started a manicure on someone. Part of me wanted to just try any technician but I stood my ground and requested the person that was actually confirmed for me. The first time I received a pedicure, the technician didn't tie her hair back. During the pedicure her long hair was constantly touching and overlapping my feet. I got a slight discount on my next visit. I do like how this salon is clean, modern, and doesn't smell at all. They have free wi-if and sparkling water on tap (if they remember to offer you some). read more

I typically get gel manicures but have wanted to try out sns for some time, so when I saw a groupon for this place I figured I'd give it a shot. The space is nice and welcoming, the staff less so. I didn't exactly expect anyone to roll out the red carpet, but my technician was pretty cold and gruff. The manicure looked nice when she was done, and I was excited about the results -- I was under the impression that sns/dip lasts around 3 weeks. In actuality, the manicure lasted about 6-7 days until huge chunks of polish started coming off. My typical gel manicure lasts around 2 weeks, so I was very disappointed. I event took spedNot worth it at all. My technician also cut my nails extremely short even though I did not ask for this -- I don't think my nails have been this short since infancy, honestly. I won't be back. Guess I learned my lesson after straying from my beloved mimosa salon! read more

Just coming out of my service which was the worst manicure I ever had. The lady made me bleed on three different fingers when removing my cutilcules, then applied a polish chosen from the shelf which was way passed its useful life but she accepted to remove it (thankfully). We managed to find a newer polish but she unfortunately did a very poor job at applying it making 3 very thick layers which ended up giving a very messy finish to my manicure. Paid my service and generous tip because she accepted to change the first color but when i ended up telling the manager he told me in a very arrogant way that he couldn't see how it was possible to make thin layers with a regular polish . Go figure.. was my first time and certainly last read more

I went as a walk in to get SNS and a pedicure...the pedicure was nothing impressive but it got the job done. As she was doing the SNS I kept saying how the color didn't look right and noticed that she didn't do it the same way I was used to, but hey...maybe this way is better...this was on Monday...it's now Friday and 3 of my SNS have popped off completely...it was $45 and definitely it worth it! The other nails also look pretty shabby for something that is supposed to last 3 weeks. I'm so disappointed. Update** I went back and a different lady did my nails and they lasted 3 weeks with only one chip. She didn't seem to thrilled to be re-doing them and wasn't great at clean up but they did at least last a while. I've been a third time just to try again and a 3rd lady did my nails. She did a nice job. The color I chose looked nothing like the powder and she tried to fix it. They've lasted this time as well. read more
