    Nail salon inside.
    Naty G.

    Glossy nails does a good job and they have impeccable facilities. The ladies hardly speak english tho so be prepared and bring pictures with you so you're satisfied with the results.

    Gel acrylics with bird eyes

    Twining with my baby and I love this! They grow super fast! Glossy Nails has been the best!

    SNS nail manicure

    Fantastic service and great quality! I have been coming to Glossy Nails salon consistently over the past three years for manicures and pedicures. Usually I can be seen without an appointment, but sometimes I make an appointment if it is a busy time. The staff are all kind and respectful. They listen to my requests and always provide great service. Vicky is my favorite! She is attentive, speedy, and does a great job with SNS nails. I always leave here more relaxed with a beautiful mani/pedi.

    The over cut on the side

    My first time there. The technician over cut and caused bleeding on my finger! She did such a bad job on the polish that you can actually see spots of different thickness of polish! During day light it looks even worse! The edges of the top of my nails are harsh and were not softened. I went there when I saw the amazing reviews!

    Pedicures here are great. The spa pedi is a really nice relaxing treatment and the regular pedi is still very good. They take their time making sure everything is done right and the place, much like that before it, is very clean. They have upgraded some of the chairs since switching ownership and more detail and effort seems to go into each appointment now. However, this is the second time I have gotten a gel mani that has chipped the very next day. So I will come here for pedis, maybe acrylics (haven't tried them yet-but the pictures look promising) and waxing, but not manicures. +can tip on cards

    Based off of reviews online, I chose this place because it was rated the best in the state. I guess I should have gone on YELP for a realistic review. To start off, there was only one lady working & the manager was off on lunch break. I originally wanted to get a marble nail set, which is the lady said she couldn't do it than I asked for umbrè, which she also said she could not do because there was only one lady working I was limited to help. Long story short I ended up with these nails that are very pretty but took too long for short acrylics & not what I ultimately wanted. So I would say it is a normal nail place & not the BEST.

    This is what Vicky did to my nail. She thought she saw a stain and instead of fixing the nail properly, she drilled it out. So, now I am left with a lifting nail that is destroyed. Vicky's response to me was, "It is fine". No, it is not fine and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Glossy Nails.

    ok so let me start off by saying that I am super picky about my nails. I like them a certain shape and sometimes it's hard to achieve the almond shape evenly amongst every nail. I've been loyal to my nail tech for over 5 years but it's time to part ways for distance issues. It took me 2 weeks to review nail salons and finally came across Glossy Nails awesome reviews. Helen at Glossy Nails did an OUTSTANDING job! Everyone there was super nice and accommodating. My friend and I made our appointments last minute, we were practically walk-ins but they attend to us in a timely manner. My birthday is coming up and Helen made me feel special with the little touches she added for my special occasion. I can't comment on the prices as my friend paid for me. I will definitely be going back to this nail salon. Thank you Helen & staff members! You ladies keep up the great work!

    Gel mani
    Amira K.

    I've been here a few times, and had different nail techs each time, and they always nail it (no pun intended.) I typically get a gel manicure. They are very detail oriented, very kind, and very patient. I'm super indecisive so I take 10-15 mins to even pick my color. If you're in the NOVA area and looking to get your nails done, definitely check this place out! Very clean salon, professional and patient staff.

    Gel manicure by Hanna! Perfectly done!
    Anahita G.

    Took yet another leap of faith and strayed from my regular nail salon due to being in a different location than usual. This time around I was very pleasantly surprised! I was immediately greeted upon walking in and without an appointment was able to get a gel mani ($32) by Hanna. She has impeccable nailmanship, taking her time to make sure everything is perfect, all the while being gentle. My cuticles are perfectly cut and the nail polish was nicely coated and doesn't seep into the crevices of my cuticles (which happens at a lot of nail salons I've been too). I also am very particular about not having my nails look too thick, and Hanna was able to give me that slim, natural look I wanted. Thank you!

    Plastic covering between each station
    Miriam G.

    Vicky is spectacular she really made it her mission to make my nails look exactly how I wanted. They are also taking great precautionary measures to insure your safety during covid-19. They have plastic coverings between nail technicians & clients. Was really impressed by my visit excellent service

    Already falling apart. Hasn't even 4 days.
    Deba R.

    I've been coming to this place for about 6 months since my nail lady retired. This is my review: - overpriced - not good quality work (my nails always mess up chip or break within a week to two weeks EVERY TIME) They do your hands first then your feet. They try to pressure you to do gel on your feet so you don't have to wait for your feet to dry. Additionally, they don't honor your appointment time. 9/10 times I'm waiting for Helen to finish up with someone else during my appointment time. Additionally, I always show them a photo of what I want done before we start to ensure they can do it so I'm not wasting my time. EVERY TIME Helen has said "yes I can do that" then at the very end when it's too late for me to change my mind about her doing my nails, she says "oh sorry I can't do that" or "we don't have that", etc. the last time I showed her a photo of glittery nails and she said okay I can do that. I paid her for a full set only for her to tell me AFTER all my polish is done that she doesn't have the glitter for my nails and can't do it. I had to go buy the glitter and pay someone else at another salon to put the glitter for me (it cost an additional $25 because she wasn't honest with me from the start). Helen is VERY rude, openly argues with clients, doesn't care about your time, charges for EVERY single item and detail possible, her prices are not consistent, and there hasn't been ONE pedicure I've gotten from any of these girls that hasn't been completely messed up within a day. I got my nails done 4 days ago and my fill ins are already chipping and breaking off my own nails and my pedicure is a complete mess with chips and the polish coming off my natural nails. I will never go here again and I will never recommend this place to anyone. I have NOTHING good to say about this awful place. Avoid!!!!!!! Additionally, let me add that Helen sees nothing wrong with yelling at clients in front of other clients to argue about what a refill means and she files until you bleed every time!

    I'm the only customer

    As soon as I arrived, I experienced the literal worse customer service I could find.. I was the only customer in the store and didn't receive any help for over 15 minutes. Not only that, but the women who I came to see for my appointment at 6:15 PM, ignored my questions choosing nails and sat on her phone the whole time talking on FaceTime to some random person. This is the most unprofessional experience I've ever had at a salon. A simple white nailed 30 minute pedicure, took an obnoxious 1hr & 30min, and I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THE STORE... Whoever was working today needs to spoken to by a manger immediately, this is completely unacceptable and unprofessional as they come.

    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..."

Well needless to say, we will be on the hunt for a better spot- FOR SURE. Here's what our feedback was to the establishment since they asked, and I decided to share here in case it's helpful to anyone thinking about going here: "The overall experience was disappointing and did not meet the standards expected of a professional wellness or spa environment. The walk between buildings felt awkward and disjointed, and the areas where services were provided were visibly unclean. This immediately detracted from the sense of calm and comfort that clients typically seek when booking spa services. The sauna instructions were overly complicated and nonintuitive. Rather than supporting a seamless, stress-free experience, the setup required unnecessary effort and attention at a time when guests should be able to arrive, decompress, and enjoy the service. One of the facials was particularly concerning. The provider fell out of her chair during the session, left the room for approximately 15 minutes within the allotted service time, and complained openly about missing supplies that had not been ordered. Her presentation and behavior appeared impaired or otherwise not fully attentive, which was alarming in a setting where professionalism, focus, and client safety are expected. There were also sanitation concerns. Gloves were not worn during the sessions- in particular extractions & close facial work, which raised hygiene and safety questions. Given the nature of skincare treatments and direct contact with facial areas, adherence to clear sanitation protocols is critical. Both facials were performed below expected standards. Product application felt careless rather than intentional for both clients. Creams were applied in a manner that resulted in product entering the nostril area for both clients. In one instance, the technician had to awkwardly clean the inside of a nostril during the service, which was unexpected and uncomfortable (and something never experienced prior). In the other facial, cream entered the nostril and remained there throughout the session, creating concern about inhalation; the client ultimately had to clean it out herself after the session. This experience was distracting and far from relaxing. Additionally, massage and sculpting techniques reflected a noticeable lack of refinement and training, particularly for clients accustomed to higher-quality services. Overall, the experience lacked attentiveness, professionalism, cleanliness, and the level of care expected in a premium setting."

First impression of the building is that it's old and it's in the heart of Annandale, inside is very dated as well. The spa is located on the 2nd floor and has a very corky decor. The lady was signed me up was named Parisa and seemed a bit cold when she gave me the form to fill. After waiting another 20 minutes, I was called in, the room was clean but small. She explained the process and answered all my questions. She asked me to laser a small part of my leg to see how I react. Let me tell you it was terrible. The machine would suck my skin gently and shot heat as it let it go. My leg was burning the entire day. She did apply tea tree oil on the spot. If you ever had a feeling of your skin burning that's how it felt all day. Not sure what machine they sure but from what I remember it was Lumise or something similar.
