    nail spa
    Overseer Michael J.

    I am a gentleman, but i believe in keeping my hands and feet well maintained... I left Dicks sporting Goods and seen this nail spa and i've not been this month and i'm new to the area so i try this place. it seemed to be a nice place so i went to the counter and told the lady i wanted a manicure and pedicure and i got the most expensive service for the pedicure which was 90 bucks..... the lady started doing my feet and half way through she starts rushing then she gets to the hot stones and she comes back and say i don't have time for your manicure can you come back ..... what was my response to her and she sat there and looked dumb she then leaves to go put the bowl up she had the stoned in she came back and said ok your all done mind you she had not buffed sanded or filled the top of my nails to smooth it to put a clear coat nor was it offered but she went and sat down at a nail station and started doing someone else's nails. until she all of them seen my face then she comes saying ok she will finish. but i was frustrated and angry and she still tried to charge me full price for a service she never completed...... this was by far the worst service i've had in getting my nails done and i would not recommend this place to anyone

    I cannot stop giving praises to this salon, and the dedicated staff that work endless hours making me feel like a "Superstar". I have frequented this salon every 2 weeks for the past year. Each and every time, I am greeted with a smile, and the upmost care is taken to ensure I am completely satisfied before I leave. Being a male who likes to express himself through body art and nail designs, Johnathan, the owner of this fine establishment has never failed me. With each visit, I'm amazed at all the care he takes in making me feel beautiful. He is and forever will be the only person to do my nails. Now, don't get me wrong, all the staff do great quality work, but we all have our favorites, and he is mine. I have never witnessed any of the staff being rude to clients. Subsequently, I have witnessed the clients being rude to the staff. Being in the business of customer service, we have always been taught that "the customer is always right. To this I say "we agree to disagree". The customer is not always right, and Johathan and his team work hard at making all the clients in the shop feel like they are the only priority. Sounds to good to be true, don't take my word for it, call, book an appointment today, and prepare to be amazed. I have and will continue to be a life-long client. Thank you for reading. Cheers, MM

    Thank you Tutu for the good job and my way too pretty nails.. A bit overpriced but worth it. I just love them!

    Update: I called to ask to fix the nails and was texted and told that because I expressed my dissatisfaction on Yelp that I couldn't be made happy. I think visiting a salon twice is enough chance to form an opinion on quality. ------ They did a good job on my last pedicure but the fill in for my acrylics was terrible. As you can see in the photos the length of the thumb nails are completely different and the shapes are inconsistent. My nails were pretty long before this so I thought the fill in for a short set would be easy to shape. I had to keep ask for shaping adjustments. At one point a ton of acrylic was left under my nails by one of the techs which took forever to fix. I'll go back for a pedicure but not acrylics. Continuing my hunt for a good dc nail tech.

    & good thing I brought my own beverage cause they didn't offer one which I thought was a standard!?! It is a whole pandemic, summer, global warming & it's adjacent to the Costco (my ) like come on. I'm not champs (which it should be low key), I'm talking water. H2O, bottled of course. . Especially wit these Ass worker . (See check in) ****UPDATED - SEE PIC***** Well wouldn't you know #Kirklands #Costco #FORLIFE ***** WELL HOW DO you like that****

    Lili always treats my toes so nice

    I'm going to think hard and long before I come back. I've always enjoyed coming here. The techs do great pedicures and nails. However, there's a limitation on the skill sets. Not all the techs do acrylic or trendy nails. Which means you have to make appointments and schedule appointments. At first I thought the scheduling thing was a covid related thing. However, it's not. After the way my friend was treated before our vacation, I knew I needed to find another place anyway. So I asked for an appointment for Friday, and the scheduler never scheduled the appointment. He informed me that today, Saturday morning, would be available. I asked for pedicure and fill-in. Now I'm late, which I can hold myself accountable for. However, I asked if it was ok, he said yes. My thoughts were now I no longer need the pedicure so I have time. As I'm pulling up, the tech calls and says she can't accommodate me. Then she says she does not have me on the schedule for a pedicure. What if I really needed a pedicure? What's the point of booking an appointment if 1. The phone number isn't in service and 2. If they have you down for the correct services. This is no way to treat someone who has referred her friends and family. Also, been a customer for a year. I'll think very hard if I need to come back.

    An acrylic fill is $55 + $5 for the shape. They have a few really good techs so be stern about getting one with experience if you are doing more than basic gel on natural nails. Mai is really good & fast!! I wish I could continue to go here but these are the highest prices I've seen in the city.

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.

My toes I feel like are simple- scrub, cut the dead, then paint. I don't know what it was but like yall I do not like the paint job. It looks like there was maybe too much polish on the brush so it's kinda bulky towards the root of the toe. Like this thick polish. I looked down when she was done and immediately was like wait why my feet look like that? The paint job is just idk, sloppy. Idk I just didn't like it. I mentioned it and she was super super nice and like buffed them and painted on top but fr probably shoulda been taken OFF and redone. I told her I know the polish is gonna start chipping because it's too thick... and even when she tried to buff and redo I knew the job should have been started over. I just didn't have the time or patience and it's intro to the summer so they see done enough for my flip flops and maybe it's just that stylist and not the salon but it was my first time and never going back. But! They do serve some wine and even though I think my tech was questioning my age for way too long bc I guess ASKED for the wine and maybe seemed to young and pressed but I mean no one offered so yeah... Good massage chairs, they have "happy hour" prices where they knock some dollars off. Like my service was solid but I truly just don't like the pedicure I received and I don't feel like my standards are high lol. Three days into my pedicure per my estimate the toenails started peeling and looking a hot messssss.

I originally came in for a pedicure and a full set, but I ended up not getting the full set I'll explain why. When I sat down, I was never asked if I wanted a drink, while other white customers around me were. I was also not given a menu to choose the type of pedicure I wanted. That immediately rubbed me the wrong way treat everyone the same. I asked for square nails and told her multiple times not to round them, yet she continued to do so anyway. I requested French toes with a soft pink base and black tips, but she acted like she couldn't find the colors. At that point, I told her to just do solid black to keep it moving. When we went to her nail station, I showed her the reference for the full set pink acrylic with a black French tip. She tried to tell me it wasn't possible and claimed she only had gel polish. I had to pull up a TikTok and show her, and suddenly she understood exactly what I meant. By then, I already knew my nails were about to be messed up, so I told her to just do a manicure instead. I paid over $100, and my polish is already peeling off. On top of that, the tools do not appear to be properly disinfected, which is unacceptable. I am a board-certified esthetician, and this experience was extremely unprofessional. Connie was careless, and this salon overall was a huge disappointment. I will not be returning. So pissed my gel polish is already coming off..
