    French tip acrylic

    I got a pedi and french tip acrylics. Twee did an amazing job!! The price is reasonable for the excellent work these ladies do, 10/10 recommend I actually came to this salon after being turned away from another local salon due to the time (8pm) but I got lucky because I will now be a regular at Emerald Nail Salon Thank you Twee!

    gel nail polish (#177) & eyebrow waxing by Anne!
    Janrose S.

    If you're looking for a calm, clean, and relaxing experience, Emerald Nail Salon is for you! I don't think I've been to a salon without a tv but it was actually quite nice to be really present and grounded throughout the experience. I booked through ClassPass and had no issues with booking, being seated, or paying (I had already paid for a gel manicure through ClassPass but decided to add on eyebrow waxing for an additional $12). Anne was fast and efficient and did a great job, and was super sweet. She was gentle when waxing my eyebrows and now I think I'm gonna forgo threading to come back here.

    Went here on recommendation of a friend who's gotten their nails done by Young for a few years now, so I went with them to get a gel manicure. The staff were very friendly, and the place is very clean, and they took us right in as 2 walk-ins! For my nails, Young fixed up some of my shorter nails with acrylic tips and dip powder so they'd all be equal length, and when choosing my colors, she let me layer two colors together for this beautiful combination. Young also did a great job with the small things I had requested like rounding the tips a little or cleaning up the shaping of the sides from jagged edges. All together, I'm pretty happy with my nails. The nails that she fixed up with tips are quite secure, and naturally there's a little more thickness to them, but I'm hoping they'll last me a few weeks. The shaping was ok - my natural nails were already a more pointed coffin, but the tips ended up being much boxier, so my nail shapes don't quite match across my fingers. The gel application was decent - some of my nails have a heavier/thicker application of polish at the tips, so there's a slight indent. Even with all these small things, I'm giving it 4 stars because of how well Young took care of my concerns and her patience. It's not perfect, but I'm still pleased!

    I recently came Oct 18, exactly 2 weeks ago and I really enjoyed my experience . My birthday was in the end of September but I was in Egypt, I did ask if I was able to use the coupon and one of the lead managers/nail tech's Boi stated if it was expired no. They definitely are not obligated, just would have been nice to receive still as a birthday gift as I didn't opt for another place over them, I just wasn't in the country. I selected the dip service, natural/nude pink color which I love ! I want to add Boi was very patient waiting for me to choose a color because I did take a little while, I'll be honest. As someone with a darker complexion I really try to be cautious of the colors I pick to make sure it compliments my skin tone. Boi was gentle with her service and the treatment of my nails and hands . She had a calming demeanor when working with me, I didn't feel I had to watch the entire time which I appreciated it because sometimes when you get your nails done , you just want to relax and I was still really tired since I had recently returned to the states. I asked for square shape and what I love is I didn't go into too much specifics, I try not to overwhelm the techs, my MAIN thing is that I want the nails not to be bulky, natural looking and the polish close to the cuticle as possible. I really like my nails along with the soft square shape Boi did. I also appreciate that my nails were done of quality, I've gone to the gym, helped a friend move and they have not broken. I do have a small crack on the thumb but that is my fault, I was helping a family I saw try to adjust the wheel chair of their elder relative and cracked it slightly but it's remained in place and barely noticeable. Dip does not have the same durability as acrylic but I really like the look of it and from my experience though still a little rough, but a little easier on my nails. I notice they still have strength to them when I've had it for a few months and go back natural. I would have liked if the polish was a little bit closer to the cuticle, but what I received is not bad at all, it's very good and still close but it's possible Boi didn't let the product get too close to my cuticle for the integrity of my real nail which I understand and appreciate. I do plan to return and the staff are pleasant ! Dip is also not very easy to do considering how the product has to be applied and I want to make sure it's clear Boi did a fantastic job .

    Boi is not just a nail tech but an artist! I always get so many compliments on my nails when she does them! I'm always so happy with them when I leave plus she always asks along the process if I like the shape / design before we cure it. definitely would recommend :)

    I've been to a few places in Fairfax since moving here and Emerald Nails is the absolute best. The affordable prices got me in the door as a college student and the amazing service kept me coming back! Not only is the service amazing but B always had me out within an hour, designs and all. I couldn't ask for a better nail salon!

    The picture says everything! The lady name Anna literally ruined my nails and day!! She was working like she has a revenge on me. Very unprofessional,disrespectful and aggressive. I had the worst experience with her. Will never recommend this place.

    I was pretty stressed out with how busy I'd been with work and moving, so I decided to try out one…read moreof the local nail salons in the area. I didn't go out of my way trying to find one that specializes in Russian manicures, but it just so happened that Diva Beauty Lounge was the one that I found. The scheduling process was super easy, I believe I just called them and afterwards had to text my information to them. Maybe a second later I got a text confirming the appointment, with a link to their Square website. I especially appreciated this aspect because I was able to see the location on my Maps app. On the day of my appointment, I noted the salon is close to Main Street/Old Town Fairfax but it's in its own area with ample parking. I accidentally went to the wrong building, but Vera was super nice and came outside to get me. When I walked into the salon, I noted how clean and neat it looked inside. It doesn't have a million pedicure chairs, but this is because they specialize in dry pedis, which require special chairs (look up dry pedis online, they're life changing). It wasn't super loud in there either, which added to the peaceful vibes of the place. I was offered a beverage once I got to Vera's work station and she brought me water. So right off the bat, customer service gets a 10/10. Next, I showed Vera what I wanted. She confirmed the shape, the color, and wanted to know if I was okay with my color being more sheer (I picked a pink that actually comes out more see through). This was perfectly fine by me, because I wanted more of a natural nail moment. Once Vera confirmed all that I wanted she got to WORK. When I tell you no kind of manicure compares to a proper Russian manicure, I mean it. They devote so much time to cleaning and cutting your cuticles (dead skin only, no live skin), making sure the polish isn't lumpy, and maintaining the shape, that it's literally giving a LUXURY experience. Despite having to take the time to perfect all of these little things, my mani really didn't take all that long and by the end of it, I was in love. Other than how perfect my mani was at the end, I especially loved that I hadn't been nicked or cut at all by the nail scissors. I have actually been to some places that say they specialize in "Russian manicure" and left completely cut up everywhere (an infection waiting to happen), but at Diva Beauty Lounge, Vera really took her time and ensured everything was done properly, safely, and hygienically. The one thing I will say about getting this kind of mani (or pedi if you so choose), is that it will definitely cost more than your typical manicure/pedicure. The reason being that it's a much more specialized technique and your nails just look that much better due to them taking their time and perfecting everything. If you're not the kind of person that can come often, I highly suggest getting a nude color (what I did) so that you don't have to come in sooner when it starts growing out. Otherwise, this is a great kind of mani to get if you're getting engaged, have a party, some kind of special event, etc. It's well worth the extra coin. And if you can come regularly, I say do it! This kind of manicure also keeps your cuticles perfected and helps your nails to grow out nicely. Overall, have got to give my girl Vera a 10/10, this was an A+ experience. I was super pleased with my visit and my nails, and can't wait to come back again!

    Edit/ Update 2/6/23…read more Today I saw some that will forever increase my expectations on getting pedicures. The sign for disposable liners and desposible pedicure jet. I will be on the lookout for other Nail&Spas that offer this. After snapping a photo of the sign, I was escorted to the waxing room by Venus. This is a tight fitting room, but everything works out once you close the door. Venus is the manager of the store, and when she told me her name, The Venus De Milo came to mind. I suspected Venus has some African American roots in her, but her Vaitnmeese is perfect. In fact, I think English is her second language....but I digress. Inside the waxing room, I stripped down to my bare chest. I asked for a sheet so wax wouldn't drip or get splattered on to my pants. Ordinarily I strip down to my sweet nothings, but this wasn't needed this time around. This is an Organic nail shop so everything is natural ingredients. I liked how Venus used different sticks for when she applied the wax. Most nail places do the double dipping and people get use to this....well, many people. Venus worked on my arms and removed my unwanted body hair. The small talk was good, but I found myself slowly starting to fall asleep. In my sleep state of mind, I wondered if Venus could do a Brazilian Wax Job too? I decided to ask her later on. When Venus finished with my arms, she went back over them to make sure she removed any hair she missed. Venus than said ssd he could remove my armpits hair which needed shaving. I said I would do it when go home, but Venus talked me into getting it waxed here. Well Venus used a hard wax that looked like dark chocolate, but actually had shades of blue and green in it. The hard wax removed only the hair and not the skin. Venus put on purple disposable gloves for this waxing procedure. I did ask if she could do Brazilian waxing and I was informed this nail salon doesn't do Brazilian waxing for guys. Although she did inspect the hairs on my legs she informed me the hairs are to short to be pulled. Anyhow, I saw one lady who remembered me from the last time I was here. I don't remember her name. Nevertheless, I know I will come back here at least one more time, but I am not sure for which service. Thank you for your service Venus. Also thank you for putting that notice up about the old and new disposable procedures. *Venus called me today about the Disposable Jetpump Liners. The jetpump comes inside the liner and it is A ONE TIME USE PRODUCT. This is fantastic news if this is true. I will have to see this for myself the next time I am there. I will be editing the photo with Venus in it because she doesn't like the photo of herself. I will respect her wishes.* Thanks again for the update Venus.

I went ahead and made an appointment for a Gel X manicure and gel pedicure. I received a text confirmation when my appointment was booked as well as reminder texts as well for my upcoming appointments. I had a great spa pedicure experience and felt relaxed throughout my service. The gel polish was applied neatly and my nails weren't cut down too short; there was plenty of room left for growth. Moving onto the manicure... there was way too much glue added onto each nail and there was so much residue left underneath my fingertips. When the LED light was placed over each finger, I vocalized to my nail tech that it was getting pretty hot and she said "it's okay" (of course it was, because it wasn't hot for her!) and I just ended up taking my whole hand out because she clearly didn't care or listen to my concern. When the polish was applied, it was done neatly and I liked the final color result, but there wasn't any cleanup done beneath my nails. I was able to pick some of the glue residue out when I got home, but wasn't able to get it all out. The pricing here is reasonable and the salon is clean and well kept, but I don't think that I'd come back since I was brushed off during the process of getting my Gel X manicure.
