This review is long overdue! Glow Nail Bar has been my favorite nail salon for years. Chan and Elvis, the owners, have created something special. They always make me feel like family in the best way, and every visit is welcoming, professional, and consistent. I typically book appointments in advance because they are almost always busy, which speaks to how much people love this salon. The entire place is very well run, and you can clearly see the value they place on customer service, quality, and the overall experience. You truly can't go wrong with any of the nail technicians. Most recently, I had a pedicure with Timmy, and he was outstanding. His massage, scrub, and lotion treatment were so relaxing. He took his time, paid attention to every detail, and made the experience feel like a true self-care moment. My usual service is Gel-X with gel polish, along with a pedicure w/callus treatment and scrub. The quality is always excellent, and I consistently leave happy with my nails and feeling refreshed. If you're looking for a salon that delivers great service, talented technicians, and a welcoming atmosphere, Glow Nail Bar is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend! read more

David was amazing! I just moved here from GA and my sister in-love recommended Glow Nail Bar and specifically David. I will for sure be back! read more

I decided to visit Glow Nail Bar in a whim. I had grabbed something to eat next door and randomly stopped in. It is really nice on the inside and the front desk staff was friendly. It was the weekend so it was PACKED but I was seated immediately. I was seated in the last pedicure station so it was a bit cramped because it was close to the wall. My nail tech was Vicky and she was great. She was nice, thorough, and gave a great massage but was a little rough at times. I got the Sugar Scrub Pedicure with gel polish. The prices were on par with other shops. I had a great experience and would likely go back. read more

I've been coming to Glow for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. The salon is very clean on the inside, and while getting serviced they offer wine, soft drinks, and water. The prices are listed online and overall they are priced competitively with other nail salons in the area. I only go to BeBe, and each and every visit is a 10/10 experience. BeBe is the absolutely best. She has done my nails for my engagement, my photo shoot, my wedding, my vacations, and just any other time I want to get my nails done! Most recently, I came in wanting to get a set for the Beyoncé concert, and BeBe did amazing! I showed her an inspiration picture and she did exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend. read more

The inside of this salon is beautiful. I really love the top of the line pedicure. You get the VIP treatment baby. They take you to a private area, give you snacks, cocktails, a heated neck pillow, personalized care and after your pedicure is over they treat you with a 5 minute neck and back massage. That's how you treat a VIP. Just make sure you get an experienced nail technician that knows how to do all the latest trends, styles, designs and services. Enjoy! read more

I've been to this salon twice, a year apart. The first visit, in February 2025, was pleasant, but the results were low quality. A gel-X nail popped off a week after the service. Although the pedicure looked nice, the amount of dead skin left on my toes was excessive. Fast forward to two weeks ago. I was dealing with deep grief and needed a relaxing experience, but it was anything but that. My gel manicure was rushed, and my cuticles have been peeling for the past two weeks. The polish started cracking after a week, and the polish on my thumb is chipped. The pedicure looks as though it was done two months ago. The technician did the worst job I've ever had. I also had to fix her sloppy work when I got home because it was that bad. I even had to go back after leaving because I noticed she didn't even paint my pinky toe. It was neither a good look nor the vibe I needed. I felt rushed, forgotten, and then rushed again. Never again. read more

They used MMA on me! Beware, the salon is nice but I spent too much for illegal products to be used on me. read more

I've been going here ever since it opened. LOYAL customer. Went to a couple other nail places here and there when I don't want to make the drive, but they were never as good at Glow and now I ONLY go to Glow. I live 25 minutes away, but I always go back to Glow to get my pedicures cause they're THAT GOOD. Occasionally gotten manicures done, only because my job requires me to have short bare nails, still loved the experience. LOVE how clean and sanitary it is. New tools, lined bowls, new packaged products every time. Never have to worry about getting an infection or anything. Every staff member is super friendly and polite. The paint job and services are top notch every time. LOVE LOVE LOVE the place. However, recently, in the past several months, service/environment has been sub-par. I've noticed, Chan, the owner isn't there as much. The music is loud club style, not relaxing, which is whatever. But my main gripe is that the VIP room isn't being treated as such. I pay $100+ for my pedicures every month because I love how empty and relaxing the VIP room is. It's supposed to be and usually is near empty, quiet, relaxing. But recently it's been packed with people chatting away on their phone, with each other, people not paying for VIP service. Today the technician (I won't name names), was chatting away gossiping about a friend to another employee while doing my pedicure! I understand that if they don't have room, they will use the VIP room for regular pedicures, but that's totally unfair to people paying for a VIP service and not receiving it. If I'm going to experience this moving forward, I might as well look for other places. The same experience for half the price. I really really hope that changes are made so I can keep going back here. read more

I had a very pleasant experience at Glow Nail Bar! The service was good and they offered many drink options. The space is very big and tranquil which helps set the pampering vibes. And my nail tech was really good! I accidentally messed up my toe nail polish while walking to get my finger nails done. They immediately addressed it and made sure everything looked good to me before I left. I will be back for sure! read more

BeBe is the best nail tech. In and out and my nails still looks good after 4 weeks.

How did I pay $70 for a gel pedicure that looks like this, all polish on my skin. Service was too fast, the guy was rushing and this is what i was left with. read more

Make sure you ask the price BEFORE your service. I just paid 80 for SNS dip on my real nails. $10 for the manicure and $10 for French dip. INSANE! read more

I've been to this nail salon 3 times and 2 out if 3 have not been favorable. This will be my final visit. Came in for a simple pedicure as I am attending an event this evening in DC. I have gotten an "American" pedicure for years in DC, NJ, Philly & NYC/NY state. Pink base & Funny Bunny which softens the stark white of a regular French pedicure. But today I'm told if I get the American pedicure the polish will not last because the white part of polish is hand drawn and works best with gel, otherwise it will jot last. Scratch my head as I have gotten American manicures & pedicures for almost 2 decades. Just selected another color and graciously left. I'm not arguing or debating over a pedicure. Ruined the vibe I was feeling so, will make alternative options in the future as this salon hasn't worked out for me. The nail technician was nice however he put too many coats of polish on my toes, I left disappointed. read more

I came for a walk in appointment for a pedicure and waited 30+ minutes in the massage chair before someone came to begin the service. Although they were nice about it I couldn't help but feel like i was being singled out for some reason... I have been here before and received quality service I'm why i wasn't prioritized as a customer but I very disappointed. read more

Glow Nail Bar - A month later and you can see the damage caused by over filing, my cuticles just stopped peeling. - Nail Salons Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

I got an acrylic overlay with no tips and they charged me the same as a full set. My fault for not asking the price before I started the service, but this is overpriced here from what I am used to which is $45 with gel polish. The staff was not welcoming or friendly and did not make me feel like my business is welcomed back. They were not rude either just not welcoming. This picture shows what I paid $57 + $8 tip for. I am new to the area so maybe this is typical here, but I will shop around for next time. I used Yelp reviews to try them this time. read more

Went to Glow Nail Bar for the first time and loved it! Everyone was so kind and my nail tech Lynn did a great job with my pedicure and manicure. I've been going with the dip for my nails and she did a great job. They look so natural instead of bulky. The main thing I appreciated about this business was that it is really clean. That is so key. I'll be going back for sure! read more

I really wanted to treat myself because I always do my nails myself. I got a milk and honey pedicure and the person that was doing my service was Lynn. The sugar scrub she was putting it on like lotion- barely rubbing it in. Didn't really trim/push back my cuticles Did not shape my nails they are uneven and have sharp edges. When she was painting my nails she put on her glasses and was really focusing and was fixing it up with a brush. But more than half my nails are not completely painted. A lot of missing spots. My friend got a basic manicure by tiff She picked out a light pink shade and tiff left to grab it after her saying no to gel. Tiff ended up just giving her a clear coat that was in a pink bottle. (My friend thought it was the pink she chose) She got an almond/round shape and it was uneven on the sides (one side was more angled than the other on one nail for all of them). A lot of people were recommending this place to me and I was really disappointed with the service. I could have just gotten not the best technicians. The vibe was great and it was packed inside. read more

So excited to get a whole set of nails spent a week looking at pictures brought it in and unfortunately, I got Theo he barely looked at my picture. He had no communication skills at all and I just left miserable. I got three days till my vacation so I'll be heading to a new salon to try to get these ones fixed. They're so wide they're like fans off my fingers, and the first thing I said is please make them fit my finger so disappointed I did pay I just left read more

First time going and I was a walk in. I wanted to get acrylic overlay on my natural nails after wearing gel polish for about a month. I was paired with Hayley who listened to my desires to continue growing my natural nails. We discussed a variety of options and decided on Dip Powder. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and explained I like clean, classy, but a corporate baddie look. She executed the look I was going for and still made them look like acrylic. I will return as I've found my new nail tech. Love this for me! read more

Angela is the absolute best. She does every design perfectly and has my nail growing healthy. I am so glad I found her. read more

I've been going to Glow Nail for a few years and have recruited several friends to this salon. I drive from Baltimore to see Bebe, she's the absolute best! - definitely make an appointment in advance to request her, she gets booked up quickly. Lots of colors and services to choose from, extremely clean, snacks and drinks are always offered and they have a reward system for every visit! read more

I have had services at glow nail bar 4 times... Pros: - New Nail Spa - Clean - Serves beverages (including wine) and refreshments - Friendly management - Pleasant admin staff - Member program where you earn points and $ off services - VIP area for luxury services Cons: - Not all nail techs created equal (meaning they don't all provide the same level of service here) - Can be pricey when looking for specific designs - Some of the techs won't acknowledge if they are unable to do a design and try anyway only to mess up (in my situation the nail tech performing my service asked another colleague to come over and do the design --- which didn't come out as I would have hoped) - When management is out, the techs don't seem as on point as I have seen them on previous visits Summary of my services: Royal Pedicure (VIP) - $85 Gel Manicure - $40 Nail Design - $20 Overall: It's a nice nail spa compared to others in the area. Varying on your service selections, it can become a bit expensive for what you get. read more

I was in the area for a birthday party but also needed my lip waxed before nail salons closed. I never have been here but it was the closest to where I was going. I just needed a lip wax. This lip was for my birthday. The salon was very nice looking however the lady who waxed my lip either left a bruise or burned me with the wax. This has never happened to me before and I will never be coming back here! read more

Gel pedicure was ok but no leg massage and no one offered a complimentary glass of wine. Did not experience a luxury experience at all.

Don't be confused as to why I'm giving this place two stars even the nail tech did an awesome job on my pedicure. They still treat their customers like cattle! Are the free snacks and glass of complimentary wine amazing? Yes! But at what cost? The cost is being seen as dollar Signs and not human beings. I went this past Sunday for a pedicure and white check in was efficient and breezy, it also felt cold and calculating. The atmosphere is gorgeous and posh I thought to myself "This might be the one" All that was thrown out the window when as soon as I sat in the pedicure chair the nail tech pulled out a efile. For what? My toes were unpolished! The kicker and reason for two stars was this poor ole lady came in with long thick toenails she mentioned she just got out of the hospital and needed a over due pedicure. All the nail techs and supervisor got flustered. All of a sudden there was an extra fee and he announced to the room all her "toenail business" as if he were on trial. Just say you're afraid of black people and stop patronizing us Never mind I just won't be patronizing this here establishment...did I mention that my pedicure came out great! ;-) read more
