I like Nails by District location because the facility is kept clean and there is plenty of natural lighting. The bathroom is always kept tidy as well. There's plenty of pedicure chairs that have plastic linings in the bowls for sanitation. And the manicure stations are spacious with comfortable seating. Also, the nail selections are numerous..from the variety of colors and hues, to regular polish, gel polish, and gel dip, the options are endless. Parking is fine as there is limited street parking right out front..but depending on the time of day, street parking can also be found on nearby streets. overall, I highly recommend! yelp tip: save 5 % off your bill if you pay in cash, and there are special deals on nail services offered on Monday through Wednesday.

My man and I visited for a pedicure, and it was nice that they seated us together. Back home in California, I have a specific technician who does my pedicures--she's not afraid to dig in and tackle ingrown nails. The person I had while visiting had a gentler approach, despite my request to dig. It was clear she wasn't very experienced, though she was sweet as pie. On the plus side, she did an outstanding job with polishing my toes.

I searched for a new DC nail tech after my last one moved. I saw one review about someone's…read moremanicure chipping after several days and I can confirm. I went on a Sunday morning and found the front desk a bit frantic despite there being 3 people working there. One pedicure tech finally sat me (for my appointment) but the foot bath wasn't functioning. Amber was my tech and moved me to another chair. While she was pleasant I thought the charge of $120 for a gel manicure and pedicure was too much given the lack luster environment. However, what cemented for me this place is horrible is that within 2 days the gel manicure chipped! First it was 2 nails. Now, 4 days later 3. I called and they wanted me to come back there to have them fixed. I said I would never return and they gave me some money back as I insisted. But the continued deterioration of the service after just days is clear this isn't good good nail spa. I don't recommend it and I wouldn't return.

Gloss Bar is a solid, if expensive nail salon. I went with friends and we got a variety of…read moreservices. While across the board the results were good--color was applied well, the nails were nicely shaped--we felt like we didn't necessarily get service that matched the price. There were no hot towels, none of our manicures came with a hand massage, and we had to ask for our complimentary beverage. None of that is a deal breaker, but for $55-75 a service (even a basic polish manicure is $45!) it would have been nice to have more than the bare bones! One outlier, my friend who got a pedicure loved her leg massage. I'll also note while I called and made a reservation and received a confirmation text AND confirmation call, when we showed up the front desk didn't know who we were or check our reservation. Again, not really a problem, but Gloss Bar is definitely trying to market itself as a luxury spa nail salon, but the experience is pretty comparable to any old nail salon.

I called them to see if I can come in the next 10 mins for a pedicure, and they took me without issue. I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and asked to sign in, and then I walked back to the pedicure chairs. My nail techinician, who didn't introduce herself and was not particularly warm towards me, greeted me and got down to business. Now-I warned her that my feet were in a rough condition, so I didn't mind her being all business because these toes needed THE business. The pedicure service was fantastic!! my feet were scrubbed and rubbed, my toes nails cut and shaped, and my polish was summertime ready. My nail technician offered me water towards the end of my service, which I graciously accepted, however I noticed most people were offered a beverage at the beginning of their service. The spa is relatively cozy in size and efficient, no frills or luxury, but everything was tidy, and my pedicure was done amazingly, and completed in a bit over an hour. I checked out efficiently and was given a somewhat short and dry good bye..hahahaha. But honestly, their service speaks for itself. I definitely would visit here again, and beware of the limited street parking.. prices are reasonable too!

I'm so happy I did because the salon is walking distance from my house, it's spacious and aesthetically pleasing. On top of the atmosphere the nail techs who did my nails and pedicure did an amazing job! They used really good products and the prices are great.

I had to go back the next day but I realized there was still one nail where the top coat didn't cover all of the nail. That meant the sticker was jutting out a bit and irritating my skin. The nail artist is pretty decent with simple art and with most sticker application. I had wanted it all to be nail art and for them to tell me they couldn't do 3D nails. There is at least one sticker on each nail. Also I had to coax her to not give up but she was insistent on simply stickering every nail to make it go faster. The pedi was alright and pretty painless. The nail artist just missed a spot of paint and accidentally got a dot of red paint on the right big toe. I think about 2.5 hours was spent in total during the first visit and less than 10 minutes fixing the issues with the nails in the next visit.
