Emoni S.

I started coming here in June 2018 and I go to Joslyne! She's amazing!! I leave extremely happy every single time! I was recommended to Francine's Beauty Bar and just happen to sit in Joslyne's chair. I'm glad I made that decision. I've been a happy person since. Of course the long long wait can be so stressful that's one reason I don't frequent any hair salon often. I don't have the patience for the long wait time especially when you have a long day ahead of you. Anyways, I recommend going to her she's great. She loves to cut and she styles really well. Her niece helps prep all her clients and she's nice too. Overall they always have the good tunes playing and everyone is very friendly. It's not loud and you don't hear anyone cursing or acting boisterous in the salon. They are super professional. One thing I love about Joslyne is the fact that she takes Venmo or Cashapp too! So easy and reliable! Love going to her! She's great!!! I can't stress that enough. She colors, cuts, styles, she does everything! If she can't do it I'm sure she'll tell you, but definitely speak up and voice your opinion if something doesn't look the way you envisioned it. I've had the worse hair struggles moving from a state where my mother was my own hair stylist so I'm glad to finally find someone who has the magic touch!! DID I MENTION I RECOMMEND!!

Sarah made my wedding day her top priority.

I am so happy to have finally located a true beauty bar. More importantly there is someone specializing in wigs at this location! Finally...a beautician who arrives before me and gets me in and out so I can go on with my plans for the day.

I called and got an appointment which was great! I went in for a silk press, deep condition, and trim and it came out nice despite getting burned a couple times. It lasted about a few days of straight/flowing and usually when I get a silk press, it will last over a week. It all went down hill when I washed my hair and a section of my curly 4c natural hair was COMPLETELY STRAIGHT! I won't be coming back here. Very disappointed.

Trina styled my hair. I absolutely loved it. I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

I decide to try somewhere new for a mani pedi, because my usual spot couldn't accommodate me the…read morelast few times I tried. Now, I could have made a specific appointment or plan ahead, but these things tend to be spontaneous for me. I walked into this place, and they weren't ready at the moment but asked me to come back in about 40 minutes, which was not a problem because I was hungry and needed to get food anyway. They were only two people working in there, and both seemed really nice. And they were using Amazon music to play some amazing tunes. Amazon music is my jam! I didn't get the name of the person, but it was a relaxing experience overall. The temperature was perfect for my feet, but it was extra extra foamy. It wasn't a problem for me personally, but I felt bad about it getting on the seats, it came that high haha. And here I liked that I didn't have to move to a table for the manicure portion! It made it truly feel like a spa experience. The job was great, but later on I realized that some cuticles were handled a little more roughly than others. But she said she was having some serious pain with her hands. Hope she feels better! Anyways, I would return, because I overall like the vibe of this place better than my usual spot.

It shouldn't be this hard to get, and keep my nails done…read more Most of the nail technicians in here are (artistically) talented, however it's SO HARD to make an appointment. I have shared my concerns with the owner and asked her to implement an online scheduling system. She expressed reservations due to the fact that customers may not know what they want, booking one service online and then coming in expecting another. It's a shame to have such a valuable and sought-after product, but simultaneously making it so difficult for customers to get their hands on that product. Booking an appointment has become somewhat of a guessing game. I give them a date and a time of my desired appointment. They tell me that my preferred nail tech is not available, but NEVER say UNTIL WHEN. So I throw out another date. Same thing: Not available. On and on it goes. Instead of providing me with options (namely, telling me the next available date for my preferred nail tech, or other nail techs who have availability at that same day and time), they repeat what they don't have available, or ask me to blindly pick another nail tech that I've never worked with (I don't even know their names because I've never worked with them, so how can I be expected to pick them?). So I'm expected to be both psychic and memorize the roster of the staff here... Just to get an appointment?! In order to book appointments I had to call multiple times over multiple days until someone was able to give me enough information to book an appointment, reach out to the owner on Instagram, and even drive all the way to the nail salon.... JUST TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I tried to make an appointment prior to the holidays before everything got booked up. Myself and another customer stood in line for at least 20 minutes in a practically empty nail salon while the owner's mother did someone's nails before she finally addressed us. Even then, she only handed us a register paper and told us to write down what services we wanted and when we wanted to come in, telling us that someone would call us to confirm (which never happened, by the way). We could have saved a lot of time if she had just asked us to do that and leave the paper on the counter while she finished her customer. After waiting 3 days, I finally called the salon and was told that they did not have my appointment request. Not surprising, given that it was scribbled on a piece of receipt paper that was given to me. Somebody probably threw away thinking that it was trash without following up. I tried to book my next two appointments to avoid this headache and was told that in order to book an appointment with my preferred nail tech, I now have to follow her on social media and DM her to try to book an appointment with her there. REALLY?! Instead of scraps of paper, or having to stalk somebody on Instagram, why not keep an old school appointment book, or even one online? It's really not that hard. These nail techs are also not great with time management. Many of my appointments have had to be rescheduled... For the middle of my work day. (Thank goodness for remote work) One of the (now former) nail techs completely forgot about my appointment and passed me off to somebody else without even acknowledging me or her oversight. Another nail tech pressured me into making an appointment earlier than I wanted, only for her to show up 45 minutes after the appointed time. No phone call, no update, no communication whatsoever. Just me sitting there wondering if this was another canceled appointment that they forgot to communicate to me. I say "another" because I had an appointment with the same technician that she canceled, but the salon did not leave me a message to let me know. The only way I found out is because I wanted to add something onto my existing appointment and when I called the salon, I was told that I no longer had an appointment because that person decided not to work that day. In addition to horrendous time management and the hoops you have to jump through to get an appointment, the nail retention is also poor... And ultimately that's why I chose to get my services done elsewhere. Like I said, artistically some of these nail techs do a good job, but in terms of actual quality of work... Not so much. I tried to make it work, because finding a new nail salon can be a pain. However, I started experiencing substantial lifting of my nails after practically every appointment. At one point, I even developed nail fungus under my acrylic, which one of the nail techs ignored completely and just covered with acrylic, and another who tried to tell me "That's not nail fungus, it's bacteria". Whatever it is, it's not supposed to be under my nails... And it wouldn't be if the work was done correctly. Aesthetically, this is one of the nicer looking nail salons in the area, but looks are deceiving. This salon presents a lot of challenges from a booking, customer service, and quality of work perspective.

I'm telling you! I need to start listening to my gut!! Lmao!…read more The last pedicure I had, it's just the owner and her husband working in the shop. Both provide wonderful service!! However on my last visit, I noticed the husband just blowing his nose...no tissues, no napkins...scarfs hanker chefs nothing- just out into the air!! I was so disgusted!!! So here I am back to where I can RELAX and be comfortable with getting a pedicure... No germs flying around...just welcoming and friendly staff catering to us for our moment of self care. This place has been consistent for 7 years now...it's hard to find good and although quite a few have come and gone...there's still a good few who provide excellent quality service. Appreciate them for always welcoming me back...with open arms. Happy Yelping!!

I've been coming here for…read morewell over 15 years, and even though I'll occasionally try somewhere else when my schedule doesn't line up, I always end up right back here. My nail tech, Lupe, is the absolute sweetest. We always catch up and laugh ("keke") whenever I'm in her chair, and she's the only person I trust with my feet. Seriously... nobody does my pedicures like Lupe. They recently moved into a new building, and it's beautiful. They're still putting the finishing touches on the renovations, but it's already a huge upgrade. One thing I especially love is that they have private service areas for clients like me who prefer a quieter, more relaxing experience instead of sitting in the middle of a crowded salon. This is my definition of self-care: sinking into one of their plush massage chairs, sipping on a mimosa, enjoying a piece of chocolate, and letting Lupe work her magic. Yes, they're a little pricier than some of the competition, but you get what you pay for. I was at another salon recently for over four hours and wasn't even offered a bottle of water. Village Nail Bar would NEVER!!!!!

Ruby performed the pedicure exactly as it should be. I have zero complaints about my service. She was very thorough and gentle at the same time. I've been doing a home pedicures a for quite some time and had a few ingrowns I couldn't get out myself. I am very satisfied with my service, polish application, complimentary drink and chair massage. My only suggestion would be: the cleaning lady shouldn't use "used/dirty" towels to wipe down floors & pedicure bowls. I wasn't there to witness if she cleaned with disinfect spray after, but dead skin & toe jam lined towels should go straight to washing room. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars.

Definitely no $100 job... I had a nail emergency this morning and didn't feel like driving to Va so I walked over and surprisingly they weren't too busy. Took my chances with walking in and Lisa did an amazing job on my nails today. And she was fast. This shop is a little pricey compared to others but I guess you're paying for the snacks and drinks they offer, so make sure you stock up and enjoy!! Praying today's fill last longer than 4 days... Happy Yelping!

I found her demeanor to be rather impolite, and she was frequently using her phone throughout my service. Furthermore, if you are seeking a dipping powder service, I would advise requesting a different technician, as Aaliyah seemed to strongly encourage a gel builder instead. However, I maintained my preference, as I believe a service should always prioritize the client's wishes rather than the technician's convenience or potential upselling. Despite this experience, I do plan to return to the salon. I will, however, be much more discerning when selecting my nail technician next time. I observed other technicians who appeared very attentive and engaged with their clients, rather than being preoccupied with their phones. In summary, my one-star rating is specifically for Aaliyah's service. However, I would give the salon's overall ambiance, atmosphere, and the owners four stars. Four stars because I found the music selection to be somewhat inappropriate. I would suggest considering music with more family-friendly lyrics, particularly given the presence of younger patrons. Otherwise, I will be returning for the positive aspects of the salon.

My fill was only $45, which you really can't beat. I think I've officially found my new nail spot!

Overall, I think that they did a pretty good job on the actual painting of my nails. As in, the paint with even without bubbles, etc. That said, The gel on my toes did not last. And two nails in my fill/full set. (Had them since March with no issues) started to lift at the base of the nail. This happened within a week and a half. My big toe polish chipped in about four days. This was before any type of yoga, working out, anything. I also have become very accustomed to the woman who typically does my pedicure is being very thorough with removing ingrown, excess skin, calluses, etc. I definitely found myself wanting more from the callous removal. However, when I most appreciated was the fact that I picked a color that didn't end up looking good on the nail, and my nail tech convinced me to get something better. I'm glad she did because I was super on the fence about it. Also, it's worth noting that this place was absolutely packed on Friday afternoon.

I like to patronize minority business. I look for them specifically…read more I can't remember where I found out about this salon, but I'm glad that I did. Located in Capital Heights, at my first appointment, it was kind of hard to spot. Be aware of the parking, as some of the spots are assigned. Upon walking in, use the door on the right to access the nail salon. Appointments are made online, and Tenecia prefers that appointments are made at the half hour only. No problems there. Nice selection of colors to choose from, and the place is clean. I noticed that Tenecia takes the time to clean the bowl in between clients, which I totally dig. Also, she uses new new tools, like emery boards, and buffers for each person. My first appointment was a gel mani (with designs of course) and a pedi. Let me tell you, it was one of thee best pedicures that I have EVER had. She is absolutely excellent at what she does. I loved the gel manicure as well, because she actually does a manicure; you know soaks the hands, trims the cuticles, massage, and the like. She totally takes her time. My nails were shaped beautifully, and they actually grew! Woop! My only issue, is that my mani didn't last as long as I would have expected, but that could totally be me, because I'm super hard on my nails. Oh, another plus is that she totally accommodated me (in between clients) when I chipped my toe...see uber hard on my nails. No matter here though; because, my services were done well, and it is fairly priced. I will definitely be returning.

Since slots fill up fast, I went ahead and booked for the rest of the year. I needed to find somewhere that was preferably black owned since the other place I found took entirely too long. The parking is very limited and the lot is kind of tight. There's a parking lot on the other side, so I parked there and walked the short distance over. The inside of the shop isn't very big. However, it wasn't crowded, so I think it wouldn't be a problem. Also I wasn't positive as to how to book nail designs, but Tenicia explained with no problem and now I know what to do when scheduling. Even with this, she was still able to accommodate me within my appointment time. I really appreciated that. I read a few reviews about Tenicia's attitude, but I didn't have an issue. She wasn't talkative, but I wasn't really looking for that. She came off as professional and cordial and that was perfectly acceptable in my book. I really enjoyed the service and the work was awesome. The work was fast, but high quality. After 10 long years, I think I found my spot. https://www.styleseat.com/teniciaingram?utm_campaign=email_profile_User
