Excellent quality, price, and service! One of my nails was weak and the gel chipped so I came in as a walk in to get it fixed. I was seen right away during a busy time of day and she fixed it, adding acrylic to strengthen the nail all free of charge. I already loved this place for the quality but that topped my expectations! read more

I have written a review of CQ a year ago and thought I'd update it today based on my visit last month. I am a regular customer at CQ and come here every 3 months for pedicures. During my visits, the salon is always very clean, bright, nicely decorated, always has real orchids or live plants, and the salon's ergonomic chairs always works! A welcome bottled water or hot tea is a good touch, thanks! The best asset of the salon is, however, its customer service and I am singling out one particular person, Titi, who I regularly see for a pedicure. No one else and here is why. Over the past 2 years I have been coming to CQ, Titi has always, always delivered an outstanding customer service! Consistently! She is courteous, professional, thorough, intentional, and meticulous in what she does and I am always amazed at her patience, hard work, and attention in making sure my nails are clean and polished! If you are particular about who touches your nails as I am, ask for Titi, as she is outstanding! Thank you, Titi! read more

I had some free time yesterday while in town for a conference and realized I was in need of a pedicure. A friend and I called ahead and Titi was able to see us almost immediately. My pedicure was thorough and relaxing. Titi has incredible attention to detail! My toenails look amazing. Highly recommend! read more

First time visiting this salon and will not return. I called 45 mins prior to arriving to make an appointment for pedicure and builder gel. When I arrived I called for directions to this salon and was hung up on by a staff member. I then arrived and waited for 50 mins at this salon and was skipped by someone who arrived after me although I called ahead of time. I was not updated while waiting, offered a beverage or anything. Very rude and unhelpful staff during my visit when asking for help. Completely a waste of time and would not recommend. I ended up going to a different salon in the area that had much better service. read more

Very relaxing environment, knowledgeable technician, and decent prices! Katie did a wonderful job! I will for sure go again!

(Not a previous customer to any of the techs) I called the same day and got an appointment for that afternoon. The service I asked for was a gel manicure but the service I received was dip powder. I was very impressed with the gentle touch of the manicure and the color! It was recommended to me since my nails were soft and broke with the gel manicure after the recent removal of acrylics. Prices are average pricing for nails. They have a MILLION colors and each color has a regular, gel, and dip polish to match! I will come back to this nail spot to see how it progresses and to get another service done. Also to note they have a loyalty program when you check in which helps when it all adds up! They also don't have TV's, but music is at a good volume. read more

Nope; One gel x fell off after two days with the second the next day. I went to an other shop to get them removed. I asked for individual lash extensions. The tech glued to clumps of my natural eyelashes together in sections to attach the extensions . I have been getting eyelash extensions on and off for the past 4 years . This is the worst ever. Regular Pedicure and manicure is all I recommend. DONT get eyelash extensions here. You have been warned. read more

Lisa is awesome, and I would recommend her to any of my friends! I got a gel manicure and I absolutely love it!

CQ Nails in Herndon is basically my nail sanctuary. Ivey turned my toes into happy campers--pedi game strong! Her fill and polish skills are so on point, my nails could practically join a beauty pageant. Plus, the salon is so clean, I'm pretty sure the dust bunnies are on vacation. And the pricing? Let's just say, my piggy bank is still smiling. read more

I went for a gel manicure , eyebrow waxing and a polish change on my toes recently. In the two years I've never had a pedicure from them...very sensitive feet. This did not go well with the technician., I was asked at least 5x why I won't allow her to do my feet. I do not want to be shamed for not accepting the upsell from anyone. The technician was not the best to say the least. After my polish change she informed me they do not have any disposal flip flops so I would have to get a reusable flip flop ....this was before my manicure even started. Again, she pushed extensions, design, etc., We proceeded and after my nails were done she informed me she didn't put on the top coat on my toes and I will be charged an extra $5 for the flip flops. I never had a polish change on my toes as a two step process. This must be new. I've been coming here since they opened two years ago. Some techs are naturally better but it was a call and walked in situation. I won't go back as this experience left me unsettled. read more

The first time I went there everything was perfect, but the 2nd time I went there I got a different tech and it was absolutely terrible. She cut off my skin on my 2nd toe and my toe was swollen for 3-4 days and it finally scabbed (she never apologized or mention anything). Then she barely removed the dried cuticles from other toes. The pedicure looks like she put one coat and after that she only painted the middle of my nail. Beware of which techs you get. (Pedicure was done 8/3 and the photos were taken 8/9 after the cut scabbed) read more

I was so excited to come to the grand opening of CQ nails, as I'm a loyal customer of the owner's other salon, Persimmon Nails in DC. I have been coming to them for years and refuse to go anywhere else! The salon itself is extremely clean and beautiful. My french Gel X set with chrome was done by Ivy and she is very detail-oriented. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made it happen. All services were 20% off which was great! read more

On the way out of town for thanksgiving (the day before to be exact) we stopped in Reston from Richmond to go to my husbands office holiday lunch, after he had some work that needed to be done so I ended up getting my nails done here and I was soooo happy with my experience! The salon is very pretty and the nail techs are all very kind! I was very very happy that they even accepted walk ins especially for being 4:30pm the day before thanksgiving! They got me started on my pedicure right away even though were pretty busy dealing with a client that couldn't control her 4 kids My nail tech was ivy and she was absolutely amazing I will definitely be returning the next time we are in Reston so happy to have found a reliable place to come back too! Thank you Ivy read more

Got here at about 7pm on a Friday. I wanted gel x nails & a pedi. Prior to starting I explained to my tech that I like square square nails for my pedi & I need my toe nail lengths to match even if that included an overlay. The tech seemed understanding so I let her do her thing. Right before she started painting my toes I asked her to make all of my toenail lengths the same. She asked me to come back tomorrow for my nails because I'm "too picky" and the shop is about to close..... I asked her to stop servicing me as I didn't feel comfortable with rushed work. I asked how much did I owe her for the pedi (nails weren't painted yet); she said $40 which is the menu price. I explained that I did not feel comfortable paying that as I was given terrible customer service. I offered $25 then left. GO TO SUNSHINE NAILS IN ALEXANDRIA FOR TOP TIER SERVICE AND PRICES. read more
