Don't let the rating fool you because this nail salon is definitely being under rated. Diane and Polo (Owners) and their staff provide superior customer service. Though I am writing about my most recent experience, I would like to share, upfront, that I have been going to this nail salon for years. If your toes need to be pampered, you definitely want to ask for Hung. Hung provides a superior pedicure ~ the attention to detail and care was second to none. He always ensures my feet look and feel great. To top it off, Diane and Polo tagged to work on my fingers nails. The owner did an amazing job on my manicure. Her nail design work is truly an art design. It is rare to find read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the service and the quality of the work they do here. I've been coming here for a little over a year and each time is better than the last! They paint each nail with precision, I NEVER have clumps of gel polish in my cuticles, they always fix little things immediately, and are just as particular as I would be with my own nails. The polish they use is supplied by the big nail salon surplus store around the corner so I know it's all local businesses were supporting. Which to me means paying for ballet lessons and soccer practice rather than the alternative big corporate. The place isn't new or bougie or super frufru fancy! But it's down home, good people. Which means great prices! And I love it!! read more

As soon as my husband and I walked in we were greeted and asked what we wanted they immediately set up the area for us to get our feet done and the water was surprisingly the right temp not too hot not too cold just right and the man that worked on my toes did an excellent job I was so relaxed the entire time and I'm happy with how my toes came out will definitely be back again read more

I usually pay about 140 for nails like this but it all came out to $90+ $10 tip. Nail tech was very communicative and very nice. Needed my nails done quick and this was the place. read more

I would not recommend. Here are just a couple of things to consider, I was a walk-in so didn't expect the best nail tech to work on me, but for $50 for a full set of acrylic nails I did expect better that what I ended up p with. I have had acrylic nails on and off my whole adult life and some have been amazing and some really terrible, so much so that I took them off immediately after getting home. I would rate these on the low to not great side, but not so terrible I removed them, YET. Just got them on Monday and it is Wednesday. But I did immediately have to file the shape to something more to my request. Ok, now here is the problem, I have a glob of product on the underside of my pinky that I should have never been allowed to leave with, that said I didn't really scrutinize them as much as I obviously should have. I guess I want to be appreciative of the person doing the work. But I'm really disappointed and won't go back. See pictures and you can judge. I just wish I could find someone who can make them look more natural. On to a different shop. read more

Originally picked this place because they were one of the few places open on Sundays. Got a very lovely semi deluxe pedicure and enjoyed every moment. The place was very well put together and it was nice to see them getting people in and out. Even when I thought I would be waiting a while I didn't wait hardly at all! They even fixed my no toe nail big toe with ease. Very satisfied read more

Smfh worse place ever !!!!! WORSE PART IS HOW MUCH I HAVE TO PAY FOR HORRIBLE JOB ! read more

Diane's Nails - Suppose to be "square" HORRIBLE! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

I went here to get s&s after seeing all the good reviews. It was one person getting work done when I got in. There was a very young lady that did my nails. Short version...I can't stand my nails! They're so bad that some white powdery substance is showing through the nails. It was so bad she did a design on the fingers to cover the white stuff showing. After , I the dip was done, she put gel over it. I've had this done enough times and had never seen this. Overall, I'm not impressed and will never go back here. They drill the nails down too fast, too far and seem to just rush through the work. Might be awesome for some, but not my type of nail salon. 2 stars because it looked clean. read more

I'm a nail newbie. I mean it. I barely knew the difference between gel and acrylics.... I knew nothing aside from the fact I wanted my nails done suuuper cute. First time walking in It was a little awkward; everyone just sort of stares at you. This is standard, I have come to learn. I had gotten my nails done for the first time EVER at a different salon and was disappointed... I didn't feel happy or the "spark" I felt like I was supposed to. I wasn't in love with them AT ALL. I came here at the suggestion of a work friend and i'm SO GLAD!! I did! Vivian did an absolutely lovely job and was so sweet to me during it. She fixed details that I wanted changed about the reference photo with no problem and was awesome about my concerns with length (I have sensory issues with my nails being a certain length). She always checked in with me to make sure I enjoyed the length since I was like, suuuper mega worried about them being too long! ;w; Anyway, I HIGHLY reccomend this salon!! read more

The salon was clean and everyone was socially distanced. They hung plastic between pedicure chairs and between the nail tables. EVERYONE was wearing a mask and EVERYTHING was cleaned and sanitized before and after use read more

You could not pay me enough to return to this shop. This is by far THE WORST experience I have had with any nail shop. From the beginning I was not given the pedicure I asked for. I was then told I did not ask for the pedicure that I get at every single nail salon I go to. I didn't even get a massage! Not even a drop of lotion or even a sugar scrub. My feet look the same as when I walked in the door except now with a different coat of pain. At best, this was piss poor from beginning to end. After the completion of my pedicure I am now on my way to another salon in search of a real pedicure experience worth my time and money. This is surely a first and last time experience for me!! I wouldn't recommend this shop if my little ol life depended on it. AWFUL read more

Absolutely returning to this nail salon. My friend and I walked in around 4 with no appointment. We were greeted immediately at we were both able to have a full set of gel nails done in roughly an hour. This is my first time in 15 years getting my nails done, so basically my first time. This is my forever salon, Polo and Diane are amazing! He did great on my square nails and looking forward to having Diane do nail art when I return for my fill in a few weeks! read more

She did a great job on nails. I'd give an additional star or two if they had clipped my cuticles and lotioned my hands given that I paid for a full set. It's an additional $5 for them to push back and trim cuticles. Never in the 20 yrs I've been getting manicures has this ever been an additional service. It's like buying a soda, and oh by the way, the straw is extra. I may give them another try bc she was actually quite efficient (probably bc she omitted 2 steps) read more

Have been going to this place since 2016 to get my eyebrows done. I have been burned in the past at other places, due to the temperature of the wax. I have never had that issue here. Price is comparable to other places for same service. I one time forgot that they closed at 7:30 and not 8:00 and showed up at 7:35. Even though I was willing to come back at business hours they were willing to squeeze me in. Very much appreciated. read more

Went to Diane's Nails by referral as I was new in town. When I arrived by appointment, I had to wait. Then after being seated, I had to wait. Once the older lady came to start my pedicure she pretended not to speak English. I asked for my nails to be cut short and square. She barely nipped at one side then began to just file the other! What, no time for the customer? Um, I asked again for them to be cut. She then told me in English that she knew what she was doing. Wow. I asked for the clippers and cut them how I wanted them, to show her, right? She didn't even file them and just scrubbed (way to much) my feet then put on the polish. I was quietly stunned! As I left and paid, I did provide a small tip, out of habit. Before I even was out the door the guy turned around in his language and said "hey you got a tip!", laughing. I knew what they said... it was that rude and obvious. The worst... experience. Only two weeks later I went to a DIFFERENT nail salon and told them what happened. She was shocked that my toes had been done only two weeks prior. I will not recommend or go to Diane's Nails; NEVER !! read more

Unimpressed. At first I was very excited about this newer nail salon. The woman who has been doing my nails for years is such a trek from home now. Everyone was friendly and kind. I even called one day when I had family in town and they were able to find the time to do 5 pedicures together. I decided to get my nails done for a wedding - something nice for myself - and booked for SNS with Diane. I showed up early for my appointment and had to wait (not really a big deal), but then I was taken 15 minutes after my appointment. I explained that I wanted SNS b/b I wanted the nails to be thin, showed a picture to Diane and she told me I should do regular acrylics and that she could do them very thin. Well, I'm the idiot who said ok, but my ring fingers hurt with the amount of acrylic on them. I wasn't asked what shape I wanted and it felt like I was just another number. I've been going gel polish for years and my old place gives a real manicure. I got acrylic put on my nails, and nothing more. When I got home, I ended up picking at my cuticles. I won't be going back here again. It's a shame b/c the people really are friendly, but for my hard earned money, I'd like to be more than just another set of nails. :/ read more

Awful and Overpriced! Went in for mani/pedi, we were rushed through our service and pushed out the door. Nails smudged so much on the way home that I had to take off all the polish and redo them myself! This used to be a decent place, but with the new management they are lousy! I will never go back! read more

I went to my regular place down the street but they had a long wait. So glad they did! Great pedicure! The staff was very friendly & the place was clean. On par with other salons, price-wise. I will definitely be coming back. read more

out of the options in Fredericksburg, i really like this place. the acrylics stay on for weeks without lifting or breaking, and the prices are fair read more

I usually don't complain or give bad reviews but it has gotten to the point I feel I should. I went as a group of 3 Sunday night and the other 2 seemed to have a fine time. We all got pedicures and the lady who did mine cut me up so bad that it is Tuesday night and I can't wear shoes. She was nice and I want to make sure that is known, but she needs to be taught how to do things properly. I have not been to get a pedicure for 16 years (I'm 24 now) and I am pretty sure it was not procedure to pour dawn dish soap on my feet and scrub them raw with a dish brush that may have been okay on the heels but not the sensitive tops of the feet, I have scratches all over from this process and am allergic to dawn soap though I did not think I would have to announce that when I went for a relaxing pedi. When the hot towel was put on it took all of my not to kick it off because the heat burned the scratched and quickened the allergic reaction (not a deadly allergy but one that causes small hives and itching usually) then when she got to my toes she cut so much off from the sides that they started to bleed, poured alcohol on them which was awful, and painted my nails (which chipped within 24 hours with no like hard use of my feet, I have a desk job) and now, Tuesday, one of my toes got so infected it is swollen and I cannot handle the pain of wearing shoes. I really REALLY wanted to like this place, they were nice and again, the other 2 in my party had a good time with theirs, but the infection pushed me over the edge to make me was to write a review as now I will have to deal with it when I go on vacation this week. read more

a bit expensive but it was so worth it!! i've never been so happy with the way a full set has looked. i got coffin shaped ombré nails and the nice lady i had did absolutely amazing with the shape and attention to detail. i will definitely be coming back!! read more

My acrylic sets are always great and hold up even longer than they're supposed to! The staff are friendly and they'll listen to your specifications without question. The prices are great for the quality, compared to others in the area. I'm always seated immediately when I call ahead, and walk-ins don't take too long either if you go at the right time! read more

Overpriced, 40 for a basic pedicure with the callus scrub, paint (shellac) has chipped after. I came in for a gel fill and the owner only handed me two color wheels yet they had an entire bin full for shellac colors, this limited my options. I then seen them ask every other guest if they would like water, I wasn't asked once. I'm black, and I feel it's because of that. Stereotype that I won't tip. Little do they know I work in the technology industry and would have tipped if offered great service. I Would rather drive all the way to Alexandria/Washington DC for great service. Do not waste your time here. read more

My experience here was so refreshing after trying a place that was over-priced and horrible. I am new to the area and didn't know where to go. So glad I looked on Yelp and found the excellent reviews on this place or I never would've found them. Wendy was excellent! I have found my nail salon read more
