I go to Mary, at this shop. She is nice, fast, and super professional. I love that I can make an appointment and that I am seen pretty much on time. We are all busy, and sometimes it seems a bit shallow to complain about getting your nails done, given all of the serious problems in the world, but for a busy professional, whose presentation relies not only on the extensive technical knowledge, but on a high degree of personal interaction with multiple stakeholders, appearance tells a story. And for this, your nails are right out in front of you for these conversations, meetings, presentations. Making time for this "luxury" is almost akin to saying you are going to make time to brush your teeth or shampoo your hair. In other words--a necessity not a luxury. Mary makes it painless and efficient and I love going to her. The people are nice, the location works for me, and I am able to move on to the next Hong on my "to do list." See you again in a few weeks! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this nail salon. They charge a lot, but the quality of their service doesn't match the price. I got my nails done just the other day, and they're already popping off. I expected them to last much longer. I wouldn't recommend this salon based on my experience. read more

Parking is in the shopping center parking lot so you may have to walk a bit. They use the same purple pumice bar for every customer instead of a clean one each time. There's mouse/rat traps visible behind the pedicure chairs and they're very pushy trying to get you to upgrade to something more expensive ! read more

the man who quoted me $50 dollars on the phone when i called around charged me $60. i disputed the attempted charge and he said i have bad hearing. (i clarified and repeated back to him on the phone "fifty dollars, five-zero, right"? he said yes. the service and atmosphere are good but there were cheaper alternatives i have been to in the immediate area that do quality work and don't attempt to cheat me! a business gets one chance to screw me and that's it. i will also contact the county about their poor sanitary practices with the tools they use and this shady behavior. read more

My technician was Maria. I was in a rush so I couldn't get the full manicure but got the gel color change (turns out it was better not to get the full manicure). I'm honestly dissatisfied with this service and their customer service. I was clear with what I wanted to get and she kept asking me if I want full manicure, eyebrow wax and other services. Some people had shields around them, but there was non in front of me nor between me and person sitting next to me. As you see in the pictures, color is not even, painted over the cuticles, shape is not even and she filed them after she's done painting, hopefully it doesn't chip after few days. I guess the service (18$) I got considered as a cheap one and thats why they didn't care about it that much??? read more

Chau Lam #10 in space 10 rushes you and didn't let me take the full time in between polishes so when I got in my car my nails were indented by putting on my seat belt. That has never happened after getting gel before. She also didn't use the same color on my toes as my nails even tho I asked her to. My toe nails are red and my nails are more of an orange color. read more

Fancy Nails & Spa - You can see where my nail polish is dented. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I came to this store today to do my nails. Since I didn't make an appointment in advance. So the boss arranged for me to do my nails at the second table on the left from the front. This table does not have a windshield on it. Then the waiter sitting at this table does my nails She is very unprofessional. The attitude is very bad. The service is even worse. I just let her help me fix it a little bit. Immediately she was swearing like a rabid rabid dog. I don't admit to being unprofessional. Also like a neuropathy. It's just too scary. What a loss for such a nice store to have such waiters. If you have the opportunity to go to this store to get your nails done, don't ask this mental patient to do it. remember. It's the second table on the left from the front. I really don't understand that the boss would hire such a low-level waiter. read more

NOT LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY! Transphobic staff - continued below. I got a pedicure at this salon today and while my pedicure was fine, the customer next to me and her nail tech were making extremely transphobic and dangerous comments. The nail tech consistently dead-named and misgendered a famous transgender celebrity and accused her of only transitioning for attention. The nail tech consistently degraded the experience of transgender people and used language such as "crazy" when describing them while claims about the effects of hormonal therapy despite clearly not being a medical professional by any means. This is not a safe space for members of the LGBTQ community and I will personally not be returning to this establishment. read more

I left crying.. I really wanted my nail to look nice. I work really hard and save to do something special for myself... the tech seemed okay when I sat down. She kinda did this rough removal of my nail polish and had told me to put my hands in a dirty bowl.. no soap or spa nail soap just luke warm water.. probably used for acrylic remover no big deal still gross.. mind you there is still polish around cuticle. I'm thinking it's all good she will clean everything up. Not sooner did I relax she then stab me so deep with cuticle cutters. I kept my cool but this really hurt... my gel manicure took ten minutes tops. She was a newbie. I walked out like I just paid $35 dollars and this what my nails look like.. my finger is bleeding and I feel so like this wasn't a mistake like it was on purpose almost.. I went to the car and came back the tech came outside to prevent me from coming back in. I was almost in tears.. I told her look at my hands.. and she finally really looked at them. I told her I went to do some thing nice for myself.. I got my nails done and this is what they look like.. she gave me $11 in her tips and said take this I'm sorry. I went back to car and I can't stop crying. I have cracked dry outside blood gel manicure. I didn't deserve this treatment. read more

Fancy Nails & Spa - A gel manicure received 3:40 pm on 06/21/2022 - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This place is not great. I went once with a friend to get manicures. My nails were a nice pink but then the technician added a flower to the index fingers, she added the top coat before the flower was done drying and it smeared the polish all over. I walked around for two weeks with really sloppy smeared nails. My friends manicure was done in ten minutes and her nails were all uneven- some round and some straight. I called yesterday for a 9 am appointment today and when I got there there was one woman in the shop. She told me I could just wait around for someone to show up. I asked her when that would be and she said she had no idea. So they don't have a good reservation system and don't really follow their hours. I'm so annoyed I have money left on a gift card here because I really don't want to go. read more

My last visit was extremely disturbing. I went up to pay at the front after my manicure with my technician and the man who may be the owner or manager (who is always standing there with the lady who answers the phones) shared a few words with my technician, frowned, then KICKED HER. My technician yelped and then the both looked at me. I asked calmly albeit I was SHOCKED, "did you just kick her?" and she looked scared. He said "haha just a joke" but without smiling or laughing, it was so uncomfortable and then just stared at my technician for her response. She didnt say a word, I asked her if she was okay and she said not to worry but without smiling or much confidence. I glared at the man, paid, tipped my tech and haven't been back since. I have been hesitant to post this in case of backlask for that technician via her employer but I do want people to know the type of managing style these women are put under. If you want your technicians bullied and KICKED AROUND LITERALLY - you will support this business. Disgusting. read more

This place used to be good, I had been coming over 10 years. Since remodeling they have bumped up all their prices which sure, makes sense. Just went in for dip nails, used to be $41, now is $47. The nail tech asked me if I wanted her to cut my cuticles and I said yes? Considering every manicure I have ever gotten has included cuticles being cleaned. Upon paying I learn my total is $57, because the cuticles are now apparently $10 extra which doesn't seem to make sense. When I told her that she didn't make me aware of this her response is "I thought you knew". Anyway, nothing that can be done once it's all said and done because the customer service doesn't acknowledge errors on their part, so can only warn others if you want your cuticles cleaned it's $10 extra now. read more

You know what I hate about nails shops? I hate the lack of accountability when a tech does something wrong. We are all human. Sorry would've been fine & I could move forward with getting something done. I went with the tech's suggestion to start a new set on my nails. She starts taking my nails off and ends up clipping my real nail & splitting it. It actually hurts to touch & red underneath. She kept trying to have me put a tip over it. There was no apology but constantly telling me it's my fault, because my nails were bad underneath. I left after paying for the take off as she ran off to start on another customer. read more

Called to make an appointment for a French manicure - nail color only, no manicure. Had to specify NOT a gel manicure - just standard. The woman quoted me $15. I repeated it - French manicure paint, no manicure, no gel. I was very clear and she repeated it. Showed up and man said it was $20. I told him about my discussion 3 hours prior. He didn't care; said a plain color replacement is $15, but they charge $20 for French. I don't care - tell me what you charge when I call you. They should honor what they told me (the woman who told me this was right there). I was planning on tipping $5 anyways but they've lost my business by this behavior. Would not recommend this place. read more

Honestly I was so excited that I had found a new nail place but 3 days ago one of my nails popped off and today I had another one pop off and that's just not normal. They literally popped off while I was driving, I wasn't doing anything to hurt them, I've been getting acrylics for a long time and this is only the second time they've ever fallen off like this, I'm thankful my real nail didn't break At first I thought, oh it's just one nail, I'll get it fixed but I feel like the fill just wasn't that great since I lost 2 nails in the first week. I'm disappointed. read more

Nail Technician: M A R I A This was my first time here. Was around the area so decided to try it out. First of all, I'm pretty picky about how I like my acrylics done. Therefore, it makes it pretty difficult for me to be happy with a nail technician's work. Plain and simple - I just like a job well done, clean, natural, and to look like the shape I'm requesting. I've had a few good techs work on my nails but I haven't found one like Maria, here at Fancy Nails & Spa. I've been searching for a new nail technician since my go to guy moved over an hour away about a year ago. I think after a year of trying a few different nail salons, I have finally found the place I want to come back to. And what was great about Maria was I didn't even have to really tell her how/what I wanted, she's just a true expert at her career. I told her I wanted "coffin acrylics" that "looked natural" and "not too long" and "more narrow than wide". Not only was she capable of doing that without hesitancy, she also actually checked her work to make sure there were not uneven shaping of acrylic, took the extra second to clean off the running Gel polish, didn't overload the polish so the nail ends up looking thick/fat/bad, etc. JUST BEING A PROFESSIONAL! I respect Maria and her work! I am so happy I walked in there today and ended up with her! :) Definitely recommend her!! Almost didn't want to share her name ;-) read more

I've been here to remove my gel mani before, and they did a quick & easy job so I decided to give them a try. For $26 for a gel you really can't beat the price, so I was pretty excited to see how well they'd do. Honestly the woman I had was pretty nice and held decent convo through the whole procedure. However, their idea of the manicure is two coats and a top coat... in other salons they do like 3, and a lot more meticulate about them. Literally I took longer to pick a color than I sat down for the treatment. As I was walking out, I noticed my cuticles weren't cleaned very well, too. It's been 1.5 weeks since I got mine done and 6/10 of my nails are all chipped and peeling, even though I haven't been particularly rough on them (i'm on break/ not even typing or working much...)! They were cute for about a week, but if you want good quality I'd recommend going somewhere else more trustworthy & pay a few more bucks. read more

I was a walk-in at this salon today. Katie was able to take me right away for a dipping powder manicure. She was super helpful in selecting the right color and she is a very skilled nail technician.

I'm so glad I decided to try this salon. read more

I've been going to this salon for many years and recently it went under new ownership. The new lady was very very pushy and was all about the money. She asked me to pay IN THE MIDDLE of getting my nails done instead of asking before or after. Was not excited about that and was definitely a put down. Other than that, I tried a new lady, Jenny, who was very good and gave me the nails I wanted! Would definitely go to her again. read more

I've been going to Fancy Nails in the greenbriar shopping center for years now. I love how they have SO many nail polish colors to choose from (even gel), I swear they have a great variety of colors. Also they're pretty quick (gel mani/pedi ~1hr). Also they do eyelash extensions now! They just started doing eyelash extensions in the past ~4 months or so, but Amy is very attentive and meticulous with how she does it. She takes about 1.5hrs to do a full set. A full set is $120 and refills are $70-80 depending on how long you last came in. The refill price is a bit high in comparison to some other extension salons that do a full set at that same price but Amy's work lasts longer (the lashes don't shed as quickly) in comparison to other salons. The images I posted are of the length 14, so it looks more "glamorous" but if you want a more natural look she has those lash lengths too. I love going to Christine for my nails. She's so sweet and personable! And she does a great job on my nails. She's great with my acrylics, designs etc.. the picture of my nails below is an acrylic tip with an ombré gel coral color, and I absolutely love it! She's also very gentle and meticulous on how she cleans up my nails. Kim (the owner's wife) is who does my waxing. Honestly I only trust her to do my waxing, and I mean like in comparison to other waxing places/people in this area. I mean waxing is painful but she helps relieve some of that pain and warns you about the area she's about to do next and that it'll hurt, stuff like that. She's also so sweet. Yes I'm a regular here but I've never had a bad experience, even when I have to use other technicians, everyone is so friendly. It's also nice to have a one stop shop to do all my needs! read more

I came here as a walk in on a wednesday afternoon and had such great service. the front desk was welcoming and didn't rush me as i took a while to choose my colors and what i wanted. (they have a wide variety and can do instagram nails) after i got seated the woman doing my nails, Linda, was extremely polite, fast, and perfect at what she did. I ended up doing an acrylic fill, with pink polish and a holographic ombré. total was $46 which is pretty decent for the quality i received. tip: if you want something specific/or you don't like how something looks-speak up! the nail technicians are very polite and will fix or do everything to the best! read more

I have tried this place here and there over 15 years and each time gets worse. This last time they told me one price and then charged me almost double. I went in for a gel pedicure and a dip manicure. The lady that did my manicure just started dipping my nails. Didn't soak my nails or push my skin back or trim anything. She just slapped the dip on and told me to wash my hands and that was it. Then the lady who did my pedicure asked me if I wanted a "spa pedicure" and I told her "no thank you". A few minutes go back and she asked again. I again told her no. Then when I went to pay and she charged me for a "spa pedicure". When I asked her why she was charging me she told me that I asked her for one. I told her " no I did not". But by this time she swiped my card and it was all over with. Then she asked if I was going to "cash app" her tip. I turned around and left. Stay away. read more

Not all nail technicians have the same skill level; however, my hair tech, MARY is a little better than your average tech. ;o) I've been going to Mary for years. Like a good hair dresser, I swear by her for my nails. UPDATE ON HOW SHE'S AWESOME: 1. She's FAST I just want to get in and out of the chair! If you like to get pampered, no worries, she's always trying to sneak in a small massage with me (it's included) and all that. I'm usually just trying to escape the salon. Things to do! lol 2. My Shellac manis last at least 3 weeks! See my pics-I get french so the growth isn't apparent. I also get pedicures, but sorry, I think feet pics are lil weird to post. 3. Doesn't push/offer additional services. I've been going to her for years. I don't even have to tell her anything. LOL- I almost always get french. Rapport goes a lonnggg way. 4. Very Personable Personally, you do not have to talk to me-I'm fine. I go everywhere with a book. However, over the years I've developed a friendship with Mary. She initiated it. She's has a great memory, is funny, and appears to engage her clients (who want to chat) in conversation. 5. She's a Pleaser If you're unhappy- she'll listen and fix whatever you're unhappy about. I've never been unhappy- well, I did try to do color one time, and chickened out after she painted one hand. She took off the polish without a problem. Mary once shared that she appreciated feedback as it provides her room to improve. She just wants to have a happy clientele. Pretty cool. POLISH OPTIONS: TONS! READING OPTIONS: The owners have invested in a plethora of magazine subscriptions for their clients. Very considerate. I adore Mary. I know you'll adore her too- read others reviews. She's popular on Yelp. ;o) read more

I should've listened to Brandi K's review. I'm pretty disappointed in this place. Came here to have a little girl bonding time with my roomie. She had raved about this place and how the gel manicures were so cheap. We got seen right away, my roomie got the nice nail tech who talked to her throughout the whole process. Mine was nice too, but there was much engagement.. 1st thing that made me knew it wasn't going to be a great experience was when she kinda semi rushed doing my pedi. She only did one coat and moved me to the nail station before I could say anything. I guess maybe it's my fault for not noticing this and assumed she would just do at least two coats (since most places do this anyways). From there she did my nails and cut it and filed it the way she wanted to. Blargh, again I guess I thought she would've asked me how I would like it shaped and cut since most places do that... All in all she didn't shape my nails that nice. My left hand nails look so unprofessional... To top that off she assumed I had cash and didn't even put a tip option on my credit card and said "sorry you tell me". Damn b like can you not ask your customer? One of the worst nail experiences ever. Don't think I'll be back. Usually when I get gel/shellac I stare at my nails all day, week, etc. This, looks like straight up messed up gloop poop! read more
