Awful nail salon. One week after getting gel nails, 3 of them have broken. The polish is all uneven and the nail shapes are mismatched. I even had her re-do them while I was there because they were see through and jagged. I ignored the bad reviews I read and really wish I hadn't! I wasted my time and money.

Nails from Diana Nails

I was really worried when I saw the reviews for this place, but I had a wonderful experience! The salon was clean, quiet, and calming. My nail tech (I think his name was Don) took his time and paid attention to detail. He did an excellent job removing my previous set of dip nails and applying this new set. Hopefully they hold up! The pricing was reasonable and my session took about an hour and a half. Every nail salon has their bad day, but I had a great first impression with this salon.

Day 1.

I came in for a gel manicure a couple days before going on vacation. This was my first visit at this establishment. I did a walk-in and was taken care of immediately. The young lady that did my nails was pleasant and very patient while I tried to pick my polish color. The salon was clean and they were following masking rules in place at the time. The manicure was a standard gel manicure that ended with a brief but lovely hand massage. Worth noting, they prefer cash tips and there is an ATM in the salon. Unfortunately the next morning my thumb nail chipped. For reference gel usually lasts on my nails ~3 weeks. I went back in and they redid the nail for no charge. While on vacation (day 3 of nails being done, 4 of them started lifting on the edges. Day 5 they started to peel off. Very disappointed that they didn't last nearly as long as gel manicures have in the past.

Bad manicure with cuticles painted.
Mona H.

To say this nail salon sucks would be an understatement. I decided to ignore the negative reviews since it is close to my house. Boy, that was a bad call. The salon itself wasn't very clean, they re-used tools without sanitizing between customers, AND they do an awful job! On both my manicure and pedicure, they failed to trim my cuticles back properly and then they painted over my cuticles they left there. I'm sorry, but if you're charging $60 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, customers should at least have their cuticles maintained properly. The main reason I pay to get my nails done because I can't figure out how not to paint my cuticles - I shouldn't be paying someone to do as bad as a job I do at home. I also got a faint pink color and they only did 2 coats, leaving it transparent in certain places. Also, it's less than a week later and polish is starting to peel off on the sides despite my desk job and not screwing with them. I'm pissed off I tipped (and tipped well) due to how bad a job two different people did. They also didn't bother labeling what colors are whah brands on the gel polish samples, so you're taking a gamble on brands. This place is awful. Save your money and go anywhere else. I personally will continue making the drive to Eisenhower where they actually do a good job, have a clean salon, and offer great service.

Swollen foot due to being burned my paraffin dip
Toni C.

This may be the worse pedicure I've gotten... my foot is swollen from the paraffin dip that was too hot it burnt me.The lady didn't even ask me if it was too hot until it was already on my skin... she rushed through my entire pedicure she offered me a scrub I declined. She didn't tell me there were more than one selection of pedicures she didn't give me a callus treatment and none of that is listed in their pedicure options in their price list. I asked for the dip I want my money back because my foot is freaking BURNED. Then ASKED for a TIP. Don't go here.

Top layer of nail is peeling only two days after they were done.
Amanda E.

The place wasn't bad, but nobody said more than 5 words to me. I was very disappointed in the collection of colors. I always do dip manicures, as they seem to last longer than gel for me. The color selection was minimal and I just settled on something, but really didn't see much of what I like. The lady did my nails quickly and they look ok. UPDATE Went from 3 to 1 stars because it's been TWO days and the top layer of my nails is already starting to peel.

TERRIBLE  wax. above, below, & between brows are NOT clean (even after I asked her to fix them). 2nd time it's been like this.
Maryann C.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR AN EYEBROW WAX ($9). This is the second time I came and it was terrible both times. I went back to give them the benefit of the doubt. After my wax the first time, i said thanks and left. When I got home, I looked in the mirror and it was as if I had never hone in the first place. It was partly my own fault for not taking a closer look while I was there and bringing it to their attention. I had the same lady the second time. Super nice, but I couldn't understand anything she was saying to me and anytime I said anything she just said "mhm". I realized that it was more of an automatic response when she didn't know what I was saying. She's a little older, so I'm wondering if she just has bad eyesight or the lighting in there is terrible. This time I checked and it was HORRIBLE ... practically nothing was done, so I asked her to fix it up. I took a quick glance again and it looked okay when I was there. Like I said, it must have been the lighting because when I went home to look it was just as bad as the first time! I ended up tweezing all around my eyebrows myself, basically wasting the $11 that I spent while I was there. The center, above, and under my eyebrows ... NONE of them were clean (please see pic that I left). It's a shame that I'll have to go somewhere else now because my apartment complex is right next to it.

I second this 500%!!!! This NOT how you take off acrylic nails. Diane's Nails in Shirlington is an amateur operation. DO NOT GO THERE!

It is ok. It is not espectacular as spa, but no as bad experience. If you are around Shirlington and need mani/pedi is a decent place to go.

Mika was my technician today and was amazing. Receptionist was wonderful too In helping me choose a color. Highly recommend returning and paying a visit for those looking for somewhere local for your nails to get done. To the manager, thank you for giving me a superb experience.***** Again, still my go to nail salon primarily because of the promotions they have. I enjoy going in the morning because it's quieter and it's nice to have your nails done right before work. I'm actually planning on walking in today or tomorrow for a gel removal on hands and mint pedicure. I'd say the mint pedicure is probably best for its price and going during happy hour it's also discounted. The salon is professional. I'm not a fan of all the employees as sometimes I noticed that they don't standardize the services. Some with give you a slight leg massage, some just completely skip over it.

Gel x was recommended by the salon so I went with that- but now I'm thinking that was part of the problem. I just don't know what to say. They are THICK- my pointer finger on my dominant hand being the worst of them all which is of course the finger i use most. It seemed like the nails she used were also too big. I'm super disappointed to be honest! 2 stars because my pedicure was good and the nail tech was nice.

It was hard to find at first but luckily I called and lady instructed me perfectly on how to find them. For this reason, I had to take a photo to make it easier for future customers that never been here. SN: it's literally next to an apartment building called Quimby. It's not super fancy nor big, it's in a small suite that's semi outdated but to be honest the workers are amazing and worth a try. The customer service and prices are unbelievable!!! I got a Gel pedicure and the guy did an outstanding job. They didn't use the metal scraper (which is so bad for you) and my feet came out just as soft. I wasn't rush and they accommodated to my needs. I paid $43 which is a steal, these days for What I normally get would've been almost doubled the amount. I'm so happy I found this place, it's def worth the drive. Oh yeah, there's street parking but it depends on the day because it's a hit or miss and you definitely need to pay to park (Park Mobile App comes in handy). I wish I took pics of the inside but I was pressing for time since they were closing the next hour. Definitely check this spot out with an open heart.
