    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.

    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!

    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.

    THIS IS THE BEST NAIL SALON EVER!!!!! My roommate and I have been coming here for well over a year exclusively, and every single time, I receive the same, fantastic service. It's incredibly clean, quiet, fast, whilst still offering a high attention to detail. The staff is welcoming, kind, and always a pleasure to visit.

    I love Henry, he does such a great job. He takes his time with my manicure and pedicure. The salon is clean, everyone is friendly.

    Pink and white ombré dip sns. Dip is usually $45 but I got the pink and white ombré so that was extra $15.

    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.

    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!

    amazing staff, very clean. best price in dc. usually just get gel manicures here but last time I got acrylics and they are amazing!

    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.

    French tip acrylics with gems

    This place had great service, great pricing, and my nails came out just like the picture I showed them, I love the results! I would 10/10 recommend

    My nails from this salon. Great job!

    My nail tech did such an amazing job! Took my Pinterest dream and turned it into a reality. Such a happy design to look down at during the middle of this gloomy pandemic. If you're looking for a spot to engage in top notch self care, look no further than this hidden gem on Connecticut Ave!

    Ok, so...this salon is not luxurious as you probably think it is. It's on a second floor of an old…read morebuilding and there's ONLY 2 nail techs working the WHOLE time. I came here out of convenience because I had to go to an event closeby - nope I was wrong, so wrong. I had made an appointment online for dip mani and gel pedi for 5:20 pm. I arrived at 5:06 pm and there's only 2 nail techs but I was calm thinking oh maybe the other customer is almost done - nope I was wrong. They looked at me and I said "I made an appointment online" and the guy just looked at me like what are you talking about. So he made me sit on a chair and wait. I waited and the lady who is doing someone else's nail came over and put acetone on my dip, I waited for a while. I waited so long that the acetone dried up and the cotton stuck on my nails.....yea you can see how this is going. The other girl was done and at this time it's 6 freaking pm and I have an event at 6:30. I was already going to be late. She is recycling the pumice thing that is being rubbed on people's feet like NO WHY ARE YOU GUYS DOING THAT. That's so unsanitary - I'm cringing at this point ok. She uses this scrub which smelled so bad omg. And her gloves are all torn and ripped and I'm really crying at this point inside my head. She then uses a hot towel on my feet and the towel smells too - and it's not the good smell cause I had to stop breathing while she was flapping it. She also used an already open and used toe separator....will it get any better than this? There is no sense of urgency here at all. It was 6:40 and I was still there and none of my nails are painted. This is the worst nails salon I've ever been in my WHOLE life. Go at your own risk. And good luck.

    I went here for the first time today and i'll definitely go back! The service was great and Nam did…read morea great job on my nails and feet. Also...you can't beat $35 bucks for a mani and pedi in the city...granted I'm from brooklyn, NY and you get a mani and pedi for under $20 dollars, but who knows the last time the board of health has gone into those establishments...just saying Also...I listened to my fellow yelpers and made an appt. I highly recommend that you do so.

I walked up to the door and it was locked (I think only on Sundays), after re-reading my email about using some code to unlock the door I tried to use the key pad it ended up dialing for someone. As I was calling the office, Tyler my masseuse walked out to open the door. He was very polite and friendly. He led me to the office to fill out a form. I used the bathroom quickly it was small but they really tried to make it nice for customers. I also asked if the facial that came with the package, could be skipped since I didnt want to wipe off the makeup he was flexible about replacing that with a longer massage. My massage included hot stone but there was not quite a prepared flow instead he focused on the problematic areas that I pointed out in the form. I also told him that I pulled the area below my shoulder blade the night before he suggested to massage the psoas which was overworked because I use the pilates reformer everyday. He took some time to massage and relax the area. After the massage the remaining soreness around the shoulder blade was eliminated. I enjoyed their innovative focus on muscles that were not traditionally massaged or paid attention to. The masseuse was knowledgeable, patient and listened to customer's needs. I would definitely go back again.

I contacted The Spa Room on the same day I purchased the Groupon and was told by Mary they didn't have any weekend availability, and asked if I would like to come in during the week instead. I again reiterated I purchased a weekend slot, and Mary replied that if I didn't want to come in during the week, I should contact Groupon and cancel. I pointed out that the weekend deal was still available on Groupon, and she stated something to the effect 'that's Groupon's problem, not mine' After several email trying to work something out, I contacted Groupon and let them know the circumstances and they refunded my money. The Groupon rep also stated they will be contacting the business to see what the issue is since the posting is still up for weekend classes, but obviously they are not able to deliver. After reading other reviews stating how bad the massage class is, I am glad I was able to get my money back!
