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. read more

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! read more

Customer service . They asking in a very rude way for a tip . As soon as they finished cash only please Zelle Venmo etc . It's really uncomfortable. The person who did my nails is ANN . All of them are like that plus they charged extremely expensive so be careful . If you want a different nail shape they charge . They charged me $65 for French nails read more

Love getting the spa pedicure here! My feet always feel so moisturized and fresh! The staff is friendly and I always feel welcomed.

Worst nail Salon in the world. The ladies there don`t listen what you want. lady who did my pedicure messed up my nail color. I asked for pink and she did red. i noticed it immediately and told her that i need pink and not red. She said its not red don`t worry you will see at the end. Seems like she is color blind. when i called the other one who work there to confirm, instead of admitting the mistake she said the same thing. despite all this mess they didn`t even apologize and the price was high as well. These people don`t let you pay tip on the card, so i have to use the ATM they have in there which give $20 or more. All an all worst customer service, high price and unprofessional staff. There are many good nail salons in the area. DON`T GO TO THIS PLACE. IT`S A RIP-OFF WITH BADDDD SERVICE. read more

My wife and I walked in this place on 01/09/2025. We were welcomed by all of the nail specialists. They were very respectful and their courtesy was great. Nancy, a specialist from Cambodia, took care of my wife's hands and feet. I saw the professional way she worked on my wife's manicure and pedicure. Nancy included a hot stone massage on my wife's feet. I was offered hot tea and water because I was just observing on that day. I have been to several other nail salons but this one was beyond my expectations. Ask for Nancy next time you need to receive a professional manicure and pedicure. 703-352-1016. read more

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 . read more

Emerald Nail is like the Emerald City in the. Wizard of Oz, full of magic and good spas... Remember the sprucing up Dorothy's buddies received? I got the standard pedicure here and it was worthy of a pair of Ruby Slippers. Ok, maybe I wouldn't wear those, but maybe a pair of Ruby Work Boots. They were so gentle here that my tootsies were treated like gold throughout the experience. Yup, this place makes all my nail dreams come true read more

I am so excited for this place, it is literally 5 minutes away from me. I have been seeing Boi for about 18 years now! I will follow her anywhere. First class treatment (s) always!! read more

The reviews here are a shame. I have had my legs waxed here and the job was done well. I have also been getting mani/pedis here for over a year. My gel nails, acrylic or not, always look good. I personally go to tony whenever possible, so I would recommend him. My attached photo is a week and a half after I got them done recently, and I am about to go back! Remember people often tend to write bad reviews 10 times more quickly than they would to go write a pretty good review! read more

Add ten more stars.... I've never followed a manicurist, EVER in my life, until I met Boi, and now I drive to Fairfax just for her. It's much more than a manicure, it's what feels like an old friend chatting, a therapist almost, who also does my nails perfectly! She could open a location hours away, and I'll be there for my gel manicure, our conversations, her attention to detail, outstanding customer service, and the colors, they have so many color options. Go for a gel manicure and you will go back again and again for Boi alone. Just don't request her if I'm there! read more
