    Chrome with black underlay.
    Tracy M.

    It's my last weekend before I had to fly back home to AZ. I came in as a walk-in for a builder gel fill and to replace 2 broken nails. My nail tech was Sue very humble person who also held a conversation. She's amazing in ways that she's very meticulous on building and balancing the shape of the gel as well as the nail. She took her time and it looked perfect. Even the way she applied the polish and the chrome was clean and not spotty like I've had in the past. I was considering to fly back here just to get my nails done to see her, since I hadn't found the right nail tech in AZ. That's how good she was. Go see Sue, amazing!

    6 stars!! Amy was wonderful - she created a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Also very patient while I was indecisive about what to get. After my last set was removed, she started on this one where each nail was a different style, and exactly what I imagined. She was able to do french, free hand design, 3D, stars, and stuff I don't even know the name of. Very happy with the way these turned out. Will definitely be coming back for the energy and talent!

    In summary: they are truly FANTASTIC I recently visited Fantastic Nail in Alexandria and had an amazing experience. The salon has a new management (for about 3ish months), so I'd recommend ignoring any older reviews. The place has been renovated and now boasts a clean, welcoming space. I had the following services: Deep powder removal (Technician: Katie) Deep powder manicure (Technician: Katie) Regular pedicure (Technician: Crystal) The main highlights of my experience were: * The technicians were incredibly attentive, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire process [Shout out to Katie for her patience, kindness and amazing job as a technician and owner] * They use top-notch nail products and offer a variety of fun manicure options. I loved my manicure design, Katie helped me choose which colors combinations were the best for me. * It's the best pedicure I've had in a long time (the massage was a great addition, and leaves you feeling relaxed and pampered). * There's enough parking space on the Plaza. * I recommend calling ahead to book an appointment as they are setting up their website. Pro tip: check out their social media pages "Fantastic Nail Alexandria" for promotions and special offers Overall, Fantastic Nails is my go-to salon now, and I can't wait for my next visit. Highly recommended!

    Gel-x full set

    I got gel-x nails done with Katie on Saturday at Fantastic Nails and it was the best looking set of nails that I've ever had! Katie was meticulous with her work. She was gentle on my nails and cuticles-- when she was done, I felt complete. My stubby fingers looked long and linky. Gel-x is my new favorite nail set and Katie is the best nail tech!

    Gel X by Katie

    This is my very first time doing Gel X and I'm in love with it. Katie gave me a excellent customer service. The salon so clean and new-looking . Definitely come back. Highly recommended this place.

    I came back again for a fill. I originally was going to go green again but we decided on blue. Had to top it off with chrome! Love the nails and attention to detail. Definitely recommend coming here and booking for Katie. It was worth the wait.

    Just got my Gel X Nails Black Vampire Nails with silver heart shaped designs. It's so sleek and sexy bold styles, I'm in love with them. So many options to pick and choose from or create your own ideas. A must try! Maybe next time I'll do cats eyes! How exciting!!! I love my new nails and my new Vibe. You should try too

    One week
    Rheanna C.

    The place is clean and the staff is very nice and kind but the quality of their products really necessitates the low rating. After one day the gel started to crack and we hadn't made a week before stuff started to fully peel off. We went back a second time because what if it was a fluke. No.

    This salon is under new ownership and management and the improvements are amazing! They have wonderful customer service, and they listen to what the customer wants. The salon is very clean and I was treated so nicely and taken in right away without an appointment. I explained to my nail tech Katie exactly what I wanted and she exceeded my expectations. All the techs are talented and you are in great hands no matter who you are paired with.

    Single color gel set

    I had an amazing time at fantastic nails and my nail tech Cindy was really friendly. I did a single color gel set and it came out really nice. The salon itself is very clean and modern, a really nice place to just unwind and relax. Next time I come, I'm definitely getting a pedicure along with a manicure. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

    I've been to this place twice for a mani-pedi. The first time, the nail tech cut my toe. I gave her the benefit of the doubt that things happen. I returned for a second visit with my sister. We got a mani-pedi. They were really pushy with trying to up sell all sorts of things to us. That was annoying. That's an easy no for me as I'm firm on what I want. My sister and I both left with two bleeding toes. Two days later, our toes still hurt. Given that it's happened multiple times, it's not a fluke that they cut my toe the first time, they're just messy, careless and working too fast and injure their customers in the process. I do not recommend this business.

This review is not about their work -- I've always been treated well during my appointments. Unfortunately, it's the customer service that has left me deeply disappointed, hurt, and frankly humiliated. After my most recent wax appointment, I suffered a burn in a very sensitive area. Accidents happen, and I initially reached out simply to inform the salon and seek support. Instead of being met with care or professionalism, I was dismissed and blamed, with customer service telling me I "must have a skin condition" -- a completely baseless and insensitive claim. I submitted a formal complaint through the salon's website, hoping for a more appropriate response. To my shock, the same employee who had already dismissed me called and asked me to send photos of my private parts -- without offering any apology, support, or remedy. This was highly inappropriate and made me extremely uncomfortable. Trying to resolve the situation, I went to the salon in person to show photos of the injury. Even after seeing the images, the staff member claimed she "couldn't see anything," so I was left with no choice but to show her the injury in person -- an experience that was deeply humiliating. To make matters worse, I ended up having time and money at urgent care, where I was diagnosed with burns and skin erosion in different areas, and prescribed treatment. This entire ordeal has been painful, degrading, and completely at odds with the way a regular, loyal client should be treated. Again, this isn't about the technician, as they all have been respectful and professional. This is about a severe failure in customer service -- a lack of compassion, accountability, and basic decency when a client is clearly in distress. I expected much better from a place I had trusted for over a year. I only decided to call to ensure the issue was reported and to find out what could have caused that - as I have got wax services for decades and never had any issues. I wasn't calling to get aggravated and humiliated by the way I was treated on the phone and then in person. So, for that reason, I am only giving this location a 1 start. They need to train their front desk person as she lacks customer service experience.

Her sugaring technique is chef's kiss -- super gentle, thorough, and she really takes her time to make sure everything is perfect. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail. After the sugaring is done, she will ask if it's okay to switch over to hard wax or tweezing to make sure everything is perfect. And she makes good product recommendations. Nothing ever feels rushed, and she makes the whole experience so comfortable and easy. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. I also really enjoy that we can talk about life and our cats while the service is happening. This makes things way more comfortable. If you're looking for someone who provides consistently fantastic service and really gives great attention to detail, Lynn is it. Highly recommend!

I've started booking appointments only with Maryam, as I appreciate her attention to detail and her kind, considerate approach to treatments. I haven't had other treatments here beyond facials and waxing so can't speak to the massages, etc., but I've been very pleased with these services for the last few years.

    My husband and I have received facials from Jenny a couple of times now…read more The location is in a more residential area - I love the neighborhood and the fact that there is free parking onsite. As there's nothing worse than worrying about if you're going to have a ticket waiting for you after your spa service SMH. Upon entering, we're always personally greeted by Jenny. Now, I'm not the warm and fuzzy type, but there is a certain draw about her. She is so warm and caring, which directly translates into her work. Her products and methods are top notch. At the start of the facial, she always steams your face to open those pores up - then she gets to work with a lovely exfoliating mask and then layers on all the goodies. By the end of my facial, I kinda feel like a princess. And my husband, who is a very easygoing guy, says "that was nice," which is huge for him lol. He approved of the men's skincare products used, and he was absolutely radiant for the following week. So, while spending time with Jenny, I was also introduced to cupping. As I understand/lived it - Jenny has a gun that she attaches a cup to, then she attaches the cup to wherever you're tense. For me, my left shoulder/upper back get really tight, so she attached a few cups to my tense area using the suction gun. Then for a few minutes she left them on and they did their thing... The suction cups lift the skin, allowing more blood and oxygen flow to the tense area, relieving pain and stiffness without medicine. It was a weird sensation, but it did work almost instantly. The only downside is the bruising. It has been seven days and I still have a faint set of circular bruises where my cups were.

    8/3/21 After reading the reviews on this place, it got me…read morethinking about facials and other treatments like waxing. I saw the website for this business, but upon clicking on it, I am taken to other businesses that have nothing to do with Jenny's business. I don't think this is intentional, but Jenny might want to get her own webpage set up for herself. Right now her webpage is going to other businesses and one can't get the prices for her lists of services. I hope this problem is fixed soon. As for now, I will have to call and find out. Update: After speaking to Jenny, She informed me that there are different types of facials she does. Costs go from $150, $170 and $200 not including tip. Waxing is only for the eyebrows and Jenny only works on the face. Jenny doesn't do body treatments of any kind except the face. Hope this helps. As for going here, the prices I was told about seem a little to step for me. I would also want body work done and Jenny said she doesn't do that. I might make an appointment, but until that day..."C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell..."
