The space was comfortable and the process took about 2 hours all together. It was relaxing and I just listened to a few podcasts while she did her thing. I was also super impressed by their flexibility with appointments. It'd be hard for me to take 2+ hours off during the work day to get this done, but Mink Lash Bar has weekend and night hours so that's not an issue. Already booked my appointment to go back! So glad I found them.

The first time I came here for a lash tint and lift they looked SO great. I was very happy with the…read moreresults so next time I needed my lashes done I decided to return. BUT when I returned two weeks ago for another lift and tint there was no noticeable results at all. My lashes were definitely not curled. I was disappointed and was looking to have them touched and fixed, so I texted the lady who did them, I believe her name is Kim, to see if she could redo them complimentary. It was a $120 and saw no results, hence why I wanted to reach back out to Kim. My text was nice but unfortunately I never got a response. I'm not sure what happened the second time around but was definitely disappointed by how my lashes looked and the lack of customer service.

I moved to the DMV area last year and my skin was not cooperating with the cold, dry weather. I…read moresearched online for an esthetician and came across Skin Beauty Bar. All of the reviews I read were comforting. It is also a Black-owned business, so I definitely felt this was the place for me to go. The booking process online is very simple. You select which facial you want, request the date and time of your appointment, and pay your deposit. The estheticians respond to your request usually the same day. So far, I've gotten about 3-4 facials with Meka and a waxing with Bri. They are the absolute best. For my facials, Meka is so attentive on the progress of my skin over the last year. She is very informative on what I should/shouldn't use on my skin and if I should switch up anything in my daily routine. Bri is very informative on how to take care of my skin after a waxing. I've even recommended a friend come here, and they absolutely loved it! Skin Beauty Bar is worth the money and the results. I'm so happy I found this place up here!

Now I'm being serviced by a lady who doesn't know how to do anything. My nails are naturally long and I only do dip and design and every tech always wants me to do the gel because it's faster for them to service. Absolutely not I tried once and all my nails broke off, I can't do gel or acrylic. I tip her well because she takes her time and I have headphones in the whole service, but to lie to me, the only reason I can assume is due to how long the service takes. Service was great until now, they've lost a client!

I don't write negative reviews lightly, especially for a business I've supported for a long time. I…read morehave been a loyal customer of Modern Nails in Navy Yard, visited regularly, and have always tipped well because I believe in supporting businesses that provide good service. Unfortunately, today changed that. The attached photo was taken immediately after my pedicure. Not hours later. Not after wearing shoes all day. Immediately after. The polish was already peeling because it had been applied so poorly. Polish was splattered all over my skin and around my cuticles. The edges weren't cleaned up. It looked rushed, sloppy, and unfinished. This wasn't a minor imperfection. It was one of the worst pedicures I've ever received. What disappointed me even more wasn't the quality of the work. It was what happened next. Instead of showing me the finished result and allowing me to inspect it, they immediately tried to put my socks back on. Had I not stopped them and looked at my own feet, I would have walked out completely unaware of how terrible the finished product looked. That felt incredibly dishonest. When I pointed out the obvious issues, there was no meaningful accountability. No genuine effort to make it right. Yet they still had no problem charging me nearly $50 for a service that clearly fell well below even basic professional standards. Everyone can have an off day. Mistakes happen. But attempting to send a loyal customer out the door hoping they wouldn't notice a poor-quality service is what lost my business forever. It's not the bad pedicure that guarantees I'll never return. It's the willingness to charge full price for work they knew wasn't acceptable. If this is the level of care given to someone who comes in regularly and tips generously, I can't in good conscience recommend anyone spend their money here. The photo speaks for itself.

He did a great job with the shaping, callus removal, and overall service. I went with a gel pedicure, which ran about $65.

My feet felt great afterward, and I have to mention the massage chairs because they even massage your glutes, which I loved. Definitely a nice little bonus to an already great pedicure experience.

The owner and Master Esthetician Christina is an amazing lady who takes pride in her work! I love that she is thoughtful and explains the process before she continues with each service. Christina has so much experience and knowledge in this field that I trust her recommendations and judgments during my services. It was also seamless using the Vagaro app to book appointments with Christina and email/text updates to prepare for the appointment! Located in the Capitol Hill area of DC, this cute studio is on the Lower Level Pennsylvania Ave building. It can be a lite tricky to access and Christina provides thorough information with pictures to enter her studio. The studio is decorated with white/gold accents and displays the niche products she uses for her services. Services: -Brow Lamination/Sculpt/Tint: this was my first time getting my eyebrows laminated, sculpted, and tinted. I was a little nervous about my appointment and Christina made my experience comfortable. For any new clients you have to fill out paperwork and then there is a quick consult where Christina asks for your preference and expectations. Then you walk into the studio room where you lay on the spa table. The pillows for my head and legs were so comfortable I wanted to fall asleep lol Christina first cleaned my brows and then mapped my brow shape from my facial structure and alignment. Christina meticulously maps out my brow shape with her ruler and sketches this out. She explained the reasons for how she shaped my brows and provides a mirror for me to confirm the shape. After she cleaned up my brows and processed/structured my brows the last step was tinting my brows. Christina gave me an ombré tint to match my hair color. I loved the look of my brows and the knowledge Christina shared with me during our sessions! She's so personable and detail oriented that made me feel so comfortable to explore more sessions like her facials the next time. In the end, I received an aftercare bag with cotton pads, spoolies, brow oil, and aftercare instructions. I cannot wait to come back for another brow session and maybe add a facial as well!

Julie did my acrylic fill with gel polish and added a simple, cute flower design just in time for my birthday. She did a phenomenal job! I've been consistently getting my nails done for about 3 years, and she was one of my favorite techs. She gave me great ideas and was so patient with me, which really helped because I could not decide on a color! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I scheduled an appointment for 5:00 PM but wasn't seen until around 5:20 PM since they were running behind. They only have a certain number of nail techs who do acrylics, which I completely understand. I just wanted to mention it in case you're in a time crunch and are scheduling a specific service--it's possible your appointment could get pushed back. That said, I personally didn't mind waiting, and I'm really happy with how my nails turned out!

The color selection is poor, and the swatches rarely match the color that actually ends up on your nails. Every time I've gone, I've been unhappy with the shape or quality of my manicure. My nails frequently chip or break much sooner than they should (days after getting them done), but given the location I justified the shortcomings. Today, I made an appointment with a specific technician, only to be told (15 minutes after I arrived) that they had been overbooked. My options were to wait an hour or see someone else whenever they had time because they had accepted too many appointments. Poor quality, poor organization, and consistently disappointing results. I gave this place far more chances than it deserved, I would not recommend this salon.
