    Lip wax results in skin missing

    I have gone here a couple times for a lip and eyebrow wax. I needed just a quick lip wax before work yesterday. Maybe it was because she went over the same spots so many times or maybe it was improper technique, but she took multiple pieces of skin from my upper lip! I am a regular at getting my lip waxed, and I can assure you this shouldn't happen.

    Bleeding toenail
    Vianca N.

    I wanted to love this place since I heard good reviews from my neighbors on H Street but yet again, like all establishments I've visited in DC since moving here, I'm left very disappointed again. My left toenail was caused to bleed from excessive cuticle trimming. I don't understand why so many nail stylists here trim excessively the cuticle it's really not necessary and causes nails to deform and harden even more. I also noticed they don't use tools that are one time use for sanitary purposes; they reuse the same tools on everyone and I haven't had a toenail infection in years but when she was removing my toenail polish I noticed one of my toenails beginning to develop one (from a visit to the nail salon next door that has the same unsanitary issues with reusing the same nail tools). Frankly awful really and I just don't know what's going on with DC. Now both of my toenails look very different from each other too like both big toenails have vastly different shapes and the massage was very painful. I did not have a pleasant massage at all and I kept asking her to do it softer and she didn't understand me she kept doing the massage on my toes very hard which now feels like they're bruising. She also got lotion on my crotch area and leggings somehow and tried to clean it off which was very fucking awkward and slightly uncomfortable lmfao. Yikes. All this experience for $65 just doesn't make me want to come back again. Nail techs suck, hair stylists suck, everything is so mediocre here. I miss Miami.

    I've come here twice for gel manicures, both times with an appointment. I usually go to another salon in the neighborhood but that one is always so busy. So I decided to check out this place with my friend.The first time was in like late January with my friend and the second time was on Valentine's Day alone. Both times I've had a great experience. It is a no frills salon as the previous reviews have mentioned so don't expect a lux spa treatment. My friend got simple acrylics with a design and I just got a plain gel manicure. My manicures both lasted me 3+ weeks with no chipping or cracking. If you pay in cash, the gel manicure is $40 and with tip it came out to $50 (this includes soak off of old manicure!). This is probably the cheapest I've paid for a gel manicure in Capitol Hill. And the nails came out beautiful so definitely worth it. Honestly, good experience. I'll come back. I don't remember who my nail tech was, just that her station was the second from the far back. My friends person was the first from the far back. Hope this helps.

    I love this place. I'm a single mom with two jobs and I'm in school. I work 6-days a week and I constantly pay bills. I almost cried today as it had been a year since my last pedicure.

    This is the best salon in DC! I've tried different salons around the city and district nails have been my go-to (I get my nails done monthly) for a couple years now. A very quiet salon, but I personally prefer that. My nail tech is Nancy and she perfection! Very professional and friendly. She always nails my design requests and listens to my suggestions. 10/10 recommend!

    Regular Mani and Pedi
    Bernisha M.

    I've been visiting District Nails for about 2 maybe 3 years now, and the most recent times I have enjoyed the service from Li because my nails are always so neatly done and she's very gentle. In the past I was getting Gel manis and pedis but decided to stop because my nails were becoming so brittle and splitting. So, I reverted back to regular polish, however I will say the quality of their nail polish would chip after about one or two days. These last two times I've decided to bring my own polish and can significantly see a difference in the longevity of my mani and pedis. Overall, I definitely recommend them, just bring your own polish.

    It was my second times for this place. She did a good job but I wish the lady who done my nails would be more gentle and more neat.

    Crooked nail that Katie Tran wouldn't fix no matter how hard I tried to tell her it was crooked.

    One of the rudest and most mediocre experiences I've had with a nail salon. Come here for BASIC nails. Don't come in here expecting to get on trend nails/techniques. They can crack out a mediocre basic nail job, but they're not priced like that--they're priced at a specialty rate. The nail technicians here have ZERO patience for anyone who comes in here and pushes back a little bit to advocate for the styles they are **paying** for. From trying to make certain the nail polish color is correct, providing feedback that an acrylic nail is crooked...it doesn't matter... I witnessed one technician laugh in a customers face FOUR times who was uncertain the color they picked was the color that was being put on them. This technician laughed and repeatedly said.."what are you talking about, can you not see?" Until the woman finally just stopped talking bc she was sick of being bullied and laughed at. My technician (Katie Tran) got so frustrated at one point with me trying to explain a technique to her that a previous salon I went to in Texas used with me for the style I wanted...that she just rudely said..."why don't you just go to that salon?" What even? Are you 12?? She also stood up, looked at the ceiling, cheeks flushed bright red bc I was reiterating the style I wanted and she was frustrated. She has no clue what the color rose gold was. Even when I pointed to something on her table and said...that's rose gold. She refused to fix a crooked nail bc she was like..."it doesn't look crooked to me." Towards the end of my polish portion of my acrylics, she used a cuticle cutters to pull a piece of lint out of my polish...and didn't do anything to fix the subsequent dent. I was too exhausted and turned off by their rudeness to even try to address it. And the icing on the cake was that within less than 24hrs (from 8pm to 10am the next day) ....the chrome is coming off. 2 days later...significantly coming off. I always tip 20% regardless of asshole behavior bc...customer service jobs are hard as hell. But this experience was so unprofessional, so rude and so mediocre that I left wondering...how the hell did I just pay $96 dollars ($16 tip) for that busted as hell, godawful service? Also...please, I beg. I BEG...This is DC. Ppl work in the foreign service or are returned peace corps members. Many ppl have a cursory understanding of various languages. Don't assume ppl can't understand the horrifyingly rude, frustrated shit you are talking about your customers. Appalling. Miss this place y'all. DC HAS to have better.

    District Nails- my favorite and go-to nail salon in the neighborhood. I've been coming here for about a year now and I always see Linda (the owner). I've had a pleasant experience with all of the ladies working here! I make sure to book an appointment when I have free time because they take there time with your service. I always get a gel manicure and regular pedicure. They have a few different options for pedicures, ranging from $35-$70. I was so happy when phase 2 began and the salon could open again. I am so pleased with how they are handling business with covid. They are taking appointments via phone or walk in appointments. When you arrive you are asked to wash your hands, then sign a covid-19 health tracking form. They offer pens (with signs for clean/used pens), plenty of hand sanitizer, each station has a plastic shield between the client and technician, and the pedicure chairs are spaced apart. They also offer face mask if needed. Normally, they offer drinks with your service but that has been suspended for now. The vietnamese coffee is so good! I can't wait for that to return! Be sure to bring cash for tip (they don't allow tip on cards) or they have info to venmo your technician. I'm happy to have to be a client here!

    See all

The price for a 60 minute massage is very fair for being right in the city, $130 before the discount, $110 with it (before gratuity). I have not tried any other services. Since I am a member of the gym, I knew it was located in the gym along with the hair salon and was not surprised by the entrance procedure. Rather, I was incredibly impressed by the tranquil environment they managed to create within the busy gym. Once you enter the space, there's dim mood lighting, relaxing music, water, and a separate bathroom. You wouldn't even know you're in the gym. I received a massage form one masseuse, thought it was good, and so I went back for a second with the same individual. The second time, I was deeply unimpressed. The whole experience was much more wholistic and caressing than a pressure-based massage--even after I requested more pressure. It didn't even feel like I had had a massage afterwards. So for my third session, I decided to try someone different: Ronnie. And Ronnie was amazing. He incorporated so many different techniques, including stretching, and threw in some extras like heat and aroma, even going a little over time. I would definitely book Ronnie again. It is a shame that there's no way to tell on the app (that I could see) what type of massage each masseuse specializes in, so you could select one who matches your preferences. My experiences with each masseuse were so different, and it seems a little silly that I would need to try them all before finding my favorite.
