Anne did. Greta job with my gel manicure here!!! She was really sweet and nice and I loveeee my nails, thank you Anne!!!

EM Spa is hit or miss depending on who your technician is. I've gotten both gel and regular pedicures here, and for my hands I switch between nail enhancements and gel manicures. All the techs are nice (but sometimes do what they think is best) I got a regular manicure and pedicure during my most recent visit and it made me realize the lack of care and attention many nail techs give nail lacquers. The chipping was absolutely horrible (should be chip-free for a few days with proper maintenance) and the skin around my cuticles have been peeling like crazy. read more

If I can give it zero stars I would. I am so disgusted and disappointed. I've been going to this place since April and haven't had any problems last few times however that has changed. First on I got fungus on my big toe and my nail feel and everything. I literally just went really quick today for a fill in; I'm a new mom and rarely have time to do anything. I requested a certain design and the man doing my nails said it wouldn't look good. I said okay and requested a different design. He didn't look confident so I requested chrome and he said they didn't have the color. I asked TWICE to see the chrome they have and he IGNORED me. I let a few minutes pass then I asked if they had red chrome. He says no, doesn't show me what they have and then says I'm just going to do regular red on your nails. I hate how they came out - I asked for the coffin nail share and this is clearly not that. I just paid $50 for what I didn't ask for. AGAIN as a new mom I do not have time to do anything for myself so when I do have time I want to walk out of a place with a service I actually asked for. I am never coming back here. read more

Anne is the BEST!! She's been doing my nails for 3 years and does the best job. She is meticulous with the detail of a mani/pedi and doesn't rush through the appointment. I recommend Anne for all your nail needs! 11 out of 10! read more

EM Spa & Lashes - Christmas holiday French! - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been hunting for a new salon since my former nail tech moved to a salon in Virginia. I came here for an almond shaped full set with design. Tom was my nail tech and my appointment started right on time which was really appreciated, I hate waiting. My acrylics came out really nice with the perfect shape and not too thick and I really appreciated how attentive to detail he was. They have a great polish selection which I really liked, and the space is clean and comfortable. So happy with how my nails came out! I would ask about the fees before you decide what you want. They charge additional fees for more than one color, for any shape other than square, and nail design per nail. I'm not used to being charged for colors so was surprised about that one, but it wasn't too excessive so I'll come back and just ask for a price quote before I sit down. read more

Awesome nail salon. Practice major social distancing, I was 1 of 3 customers in there. They have 3 staff working in the salon. They offer water to their customers, they're very polite and understanding and accommodating. I got gel pedi and sns (dip powder) pink and white ombré mani, it totaled out to be $110 before tip. No idea if they take tips/payment through digital transaction but I gave tips in cash (I happen to have cash on me which is rare) and paid using credit card for the nails. read more

EM Spa & Lashes - Pink and white ombré dip sns. Dip is usually $45 but I got the pink and white ombré so that was extra $15. - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This has been my favorite spot for some years now. I come with my whole family some times before trips, all 6 of us for mani pedis, and everyone loves it. High quality, good prices, amazing clean vibe. Tom and Helen have done a great job with this place and I will continue to recommend it to everyone. read more

This is THE BEST place to get your nails done in DC. I have tried so many other salons and keep coming back to EM Nails. The owners are thoughtful, kind, welcoming and are always up for my design ideas. They will help you pick a color and style that works for you especially if you have an inspiration photo. I love EM nails and you will too - make an appointment (or walk-in they always make it work so you're not wasting time). You won't regret it! read more

EM Spa & Lashes - Ombré chrome nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I been coming to this place for over a year to get my nails done, but they always have an excuse and my mother is always turned away. We live close so the location is convenient but it's unfortunate we can't get our nails done together. read more

EM Spa & Lashes - gel acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I love my nails. I made an appointment but not sure they really adhere to them as there were a few people the took in front of me, none the less they got me started about 5 minutes after I walked in. My pedicure was perfect I could've went longer on the massage but of course ha!, it was highly attentive. I did a full set on the nails, and I love them, I asked for a rose on each and they did just that. I also like that they have a rewards card too, I will definitely be back. read more

I've been coming here since Thanksgiving and I tried to overlook the sub-par quality because the service is good but today was the last straw. I'm already in there to get my nail fixed because it broke less than a week after I got them done, and of course a white woman walks in WITHOUT A MASK ON and the manager says nothing but "pick a color and have a seat." To make matters worse, this woman comes well within 6 feet of me to hang her coat as if she couldn't put the coat ANYWHERE ELSE in the salon. I am livid and will never be returning to this establishment. I'm disappointed and expect better during a pandemic. read more

I walked in today with my two nieces. It costs $125 for my nieces nails and they told me that it included her eye brows. I paid and left and she was there for two hours later and she didn't get her eyebrows done because they said I didn't pay for it. I guess I needed to stay there and supervise. read more

I recently moved back to DC after living in northern CA for the last 6 years. I was excited there was a nail salon that I could walk to from our house. Unfortunately it looks like I'm a one and done with this salon. First in the midst of my hot stone massage, the nail tech got up TWICE to hug some elderly clientele that hadn't been in in awhile. I'm not sure why this couldn't have waited (she did the nails of the one woman after me). No apologies, no extra time either. It was as I wasn't as important as the retuning customer (note... I have two elementary aged daughters who love pedicures so that's three clients lost) I don't recall seeing her ever put a top coat on (see pics for reasons), then she told me to sit there 15 or 20 minutes. I'm used to fans. I've been getting pedicures for years - 15 yrs in DC prior to our 6 years in CA) and have always had a fan but none here. After 20+ minutes I pulled my own pant legs down and took off the toes spacers. She rushes over and shoved my feet into my shoes. I'm used to nail salons trying not to mess up the polish. As you can see in my pic I have not taken my shoes off yet but this is SO not worth the $65 I paid. Stay away if you are a new customer. read more

Dip Nails lasted 1 week before the started breaking and peeling.. will not be returning

I was on on Saturday to have some waxing done, Kris is amazing, very good at what he does and looking forward to a monthly visit.

The shop is very clean and staff is professional. I won't get my nails and eyelashes done by anyone else but Mina! She does an amazing job and her attention to details and great service are amazing! She talked me into getting my eyelashes done and now I can't live without them. read more

Great team of professionals in a clean, welcoming and relaxing environment. Lynn did a great job on dipping, acrylics and pedicures. Mina did an excellent job on putting eyelash extensions! Wonderful service at a reasonable price! read more

Anne has done my nails (every 2/3 weeks) for the last 10 years, so needless to say - I love EM Nails Lash! The new owner, Mina, is nice and friendly and really knows the beauty industry. My usual is an overlay fill and a pedicure, and I am always satisfied - always. Anne perfectly shapes my nails and makes sure my color is flawless. This review is LONG overdue. If you are looking for a relaxing nail salon that will get your hands and feet all the way together - this is your place. FYI - they are CDC-compliant with their COVID precautions and I always feel safe when I'm there. read more

I walked in and was immediately acknowledged! I received a full set and a pedicure. They both came out perfect. My manicurist even pointed out a better color for my pedicure. read more

i have nothing but good things to say about this place!i i walked in and they took me immediately, put great care into my pedicure (much more than im used to), and even gave me a small discount because i'm a student! my toes really look amazing too :) read more

Very! clean establishment, fast, the service was good. I got a pedicure while my aunt got a manicure, i was pleased with mine however my aunt wish they had did better when it came to cutting her cuticles. It was just a matter of pushing them back and cutting them efficiently. But overall the good out weighed the bad. read more

I called last minute and a very polite lady gave me an appointment. Good impression so far. When I arrived I chose from a decent selection of polishes. There is a larger selection of gels. My technician, Mai, was efficient and did a great job with very little chit chat which I prefer. Massage chairs are fantastic and so relaxing while watching beautiful videos of Vietnam on the large flat screen TVs. I will definitely return. You can sign up for their promotions on their computer system by the front desk. read more

EM Nails & Eyelash is a neighborhood gem. The shop is extremely clean and well-fitted for COVID precautions with hand sanitizer at every station, socially distanced nail stations, mandatory masks, and plexiglass barriers between guest & technician. I have been searching for a local salon that I love and have found it here. Mina, the owner, is so friendly and appreciative of her customers. There are also a number of lovely perks: the salon has a customer loyalty program in which return customers can earn points for discounts on their nail services; they serve wine or champagne; if you get a full set, you get free nail art or designs; they do not charge for nail removal; their standard is gel powder; not to mention they are open until 9:00 which is awesome on nights I can't break away from work until late. On top of this, their prices are extremely competitive and the quality is second to none. The whole staff here is excellent -- a small but very professional crew up to date on the latest techniques and trends. Beyond nails and waxing, this salon also offers lash services. Mina has a variety of options and can make your lashes look as swanky or natural as you are looking for. As consumers, we certainly have a choice where to spend our money, but this woman-owned small business is one I am thrilled to support, and during this terrible pandemic, a visit to EM Nails & Lash is a cost-effective luxury that I can justify due to their adherence to health standards and mitigating risks. If you're in the area and looking for a new salon, this one has my highest recommendation! read more
