    I've been a loyal patron of this salon since they opened in my neighborhood, but I agree with other reviews that the service has slipped lately. It really depends on who you see, and the experience just isn't consistently good. On Monday, I got my nails done before a business trip. By Wednesday, the gel polish was already peeling and looked terrible. Today is Saturday, and I went straight from the airport back to the salon to have it fixed. I wanted a different tech to redo my nails (the one who did my nails initially was very slow and even admitted he wasn't good with designs). When I told the manager I preferred someone else given the quality issue, she said I'd have to pay for that. I didn't feel I should pay for their poor service, so I ended up waiting more than 30 minutes for the original tech before finally agreeing to let someone else help me. I had somewhere I needed to be, it's Mother's Day weekend, and I needed my nails done -- so I wound up paying an extra $40 on top of the $70 I already paid on Monday. They didn't offer any discount or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. I'm deeply disappointed by this experience. There are plenty of nail salons in this area, and they won't last long here if they don't improve their customer service. That manager definitely needs retraining on customer service.

    This establishment is unfortunately the reason I've given up on professional nail salons. Despite being a loyal customer for six months and tipping 20%+, the service has been consistently disappointing. I've been getting my nails done for 14 years, and I've never experienced such a lack of basic customer service or technical care. Save your money and go elsewhere.

    Man oh man! I really wanted to make this my go to nail shop. As close and convenient as it is- it's just not worth the headache for me. I came over on Monday for a fill and I walked in at the perfect time because this shop gets packed after 5pm. Anyhoo- Linda did my fill on Monday. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I was back for a nail repairs and the repairs were rushed and hastily done. Can you believe this morning another nail broke! Makes absolutely NO SENSE!!!! Has never happened before. Smh Smh...with the prices this shop charges, mind you they even added a ridiculous charge for non cash payments...my nails should not be breaking left and right! Smh... This just isn't the shop for me- but hey if you like them, have at it. Hope your nails are lasting longer than 4 days!!! Happy Yelping!

    First time here, beautiful salon and friendly staff. They serve alcoholic beverages & mocktails. Prices seem to be the same as other nail bars. Lots of color options to choose from. They offer pedicures, nail sets, eyebrows and lots of other services! There is a check in service for points! Will be back!

    After a positive first experience at Inspire I went back for a second appointment. The person I saw the first time wasn't available so I read the reviews online and booked with Victor. Terrible idea. From the moment I sat down I felt something was off. He did not greet me, he did not ask me to wash my hands before starting the service, and I wasn't offered water. I then said hi, and introduced myself and asked him if we were going to discuss my service. He assumed I had acrylic. I had to correct him and share I have polygel. I had some lifting from my previous visit to which he did not correct after I said it multiple times. He also did a sloppy cut down my nails are not the same shape, and he cannot polish. For $70 I am more than disappointed. I raised my concerns when I checked out to which I was told "ok". I was hopeful that I would have a better experience because this place is close to my house but the search continues for a nail salon that has quality and consistent service.

    My girl Hailey is on vacation, so I did some research to see who else was great in the shop and came across Alex--he had amazing reviews on Google. Let me just say, Alex is the BOMB! He's fast, precise, and pays close attention to detail. On top of that, he's incredibly talented with designs. The man is AMAZING! Highly, highly recommend! He's a gem to the shop for sure.

Unfortunately, after giving this location two tries, I can say it is just not the right fit for me. My first visit was decent, but not great. The service was fine overall, though I did notice stray hairs left behind, which took away from that clean, polished result you expect after a wax. I came back a second time hoping the first visit was just an off day, but that experience was even more disappointing. The waxer I was scheduled with was late, and the front desk was not able to place me with anyone else. They did offer to rebook me for a later time, which I appreciated, but I already had plans and could not wait around. The location is convenient, and I can see the appeal, but for me, waxing is one of those services where consistency and attention to detail matter a lot. Good concept, but not what I am looking for.

    I just left this location for the second time today, attempting to receive services. I was informed…read moreby "Mignon" that only one waxer showed up today, which is pretty typical for this location. This place should be shut down as it reflects poorly on the name and brand of this established company and never meets the mark for first in class customer service. They regularly close early, open late, have no one to accommodate the demand of the customers, and give subpar waxes by untrained staff, who wax against the grain of your hair. If you're not desperate, as I was today, stay clear of this place and go where your business is valued.

CRU-MM is one of those places. I remember that I was looking for an aesthetician at the time, and I was very impressed with CRU'MM's marketing materials and results. So I made an appointment for a facial and had a good experience overall. I remember Regina being very kind, her salon being very calming (with free snacks), and the facial itself being very good (notwithstanding a nasty acne bump I had on my face at the time). I have no complaints about the facial itself. The only reason I give the experience 4 (instead of 5) stars is because I remember a few things that were less than ideal. First, there is not clear communication about the exact location of the salon within the building, so that leads to unnecessary confusion after you arrive. Also, if I recall correctly, Regina was running a bit behind on the day I went, so I recall having to sit in a small waiting area while waiting for my appointment to finally start. There was one other couple there, and they were watching some kind of raunchy video on speaker. So it was not a relaxing or edifying experience before the facial began. Thankfully, the energy was very different inside Regina's salon once my appointment actually got started. In sum, I only visited once. But I had a good experience overall. Although it was not convenient enough of a location for me to continue going (such that I eventually found an amazing black aesthetician in Bethesda that I've been using for all these many years), I would still recommend that anyone in the Lanham area check CRU-MM out!

As soon as you step inside and see Jai's welcoming smile and hear her calming voice, you know you're in for something truly special. I've been to the spa a few times over the years, and I've always had wonderful experiences. Last Christmas, I asked my husband for a spa membership, and he gifted me with a year-long membership that included a monthly 90-minute massage (highly recommend!). During my facial, I asked the esthetician, Angela (also wonderful), who she had received massages from. Sebene was on her list. While Angela assured me that all the providers are great and I couldn't go wrong with anyone, I decided to start with Sebene. And I've never looked back. Sebene is appropriately working at a spa with the word Heaven in the name!! Her skills are truly extraordinary. She is a miracle worker! I had bilateral total hip replacement in 2025, and I've been recovering slowly since February of 2025. Often, when I go to my appointments, my body is out of alignment and in some degree of pain. When I leave, I feel like I've left a transformative experience. While Sebene offers traditional massages, I've opted for a treatment focused on realignment and mobility. I'm 51 years old and have had massages throughout my adult life. I can honestly say, I have NEVER experienced massage therapy like this! Sebene is truly gifted! The only thing that tops her hands blessed by God is her calm, warm, intuitive demeanor. She walks in and you want to hug her. You feel safe and secure. I walk in the door, and she greets me with a warm smile, gentle hug, and asks if there is anything I would like her to focus on. And while I give her my concerns, being mindful that I only have 90 minutes, some weeks feel like my entire body is aching. She ensures she addresses all my concerns and intuitively navigates to body parts I have not mentioned but have been struggling with. And when she is done, she always says, "I hope I have made you feel a little better." After every visit, my husband asks how was my massage. Each month, my response is more detailed and glowing. I have told him for months that I owe this angel a review but want to keep her to myself. So after months, I am begrudgingly writing a review that cannot begin to accurately honor this exceptionally talented woman, in hopes it won't backfire and I can still get an appointment .

It's clear he knows exactly what he's doing--every movement felt intentional and effective. Not only did he work out the tension, but he also gave helpful recommendations for maintaining and improving those tight areas afterward. Honestly, part of me hesitated to even write this review because I know his schedule is going to fill up fast--but great service deserves to be recognized. I'll definitely be coming back monthly. Highly recommend!

The salon is spacious with 10-14 nail stations and about 10 pedicure chairs . There is a television showing mostly travel images and music is played. They do offer beverages during appointments. The last two visits (actually 3) have been less than pleasant. The nail technician does a good job, but the polishing could use some work, the sides of the nail are often missed as the painting is a straight line. The front desk and lack of punctuality with appointments is what is upsetting. An appointment before Christmas was not honored, in fact the technician was over 20 minutes late and nobody said anything, no acknowledgement that the technician was running behind or offer of water etc. I walked out. The woman who works and the desk chased me down and begged me to return. I had another commitment directly after so I said I would come back another day. That evening another person from the salon called me to apologize and offered a discount when I returned. The discount wasn't honored. Again during my last appointment the tech was late (15 minutes) and this was after an older gentlemen working the front desk called to ask me if I would be on time to appointment. Lastly, their prices are not posted and I feel they are quite expensive ($55 for an acrylic fill with gel polish). They charge an extra 4% if you use a credit card to pay. Pack your patience and make sure you know what you're being charged for before visiting this location.
