    Namuun did a great job on my gel x manicure. She listened and took her time to give me what I wanted- A simple, clean, manicure. Thank you, I am very happy!

    I got pink chrome by the best of the best Amanda!!!! Tried to capture my nails in different light and angles because a normal photo doesn't do any justice. The shape is perfect I can't stop looking at them they look like I have press ons. The color is exactly what I asked too!! She's such a perfectionist I cant get over her attention to details! I will always recommend Amanda to everyone I know

    Nails messed up

    Quality of nails not good. Got them down while on vacation in DC. Started chipping two days after service. Day 5 and top coat is coming off. Have to get them fixed.

    Service was amazing! She took her time with my nails she was super gentle. The vibe is very relaxing. My Go to nail salon. It's been a month and they are still on my nails. Love it here

    I was visiting the wharf and had some downtime so I walked over when this place opened and even though I didn't have an appointment, they got me in quickly. They had a group of people waiting after a bit, but I never felt rushed. The place is clean and pleasant-- calm as well-- not too much chatting. I got a spa pedicure (honey/milk) and it was great-- I was in there for over an hour and the technician, Lily was so patient and diligent. I hadn't picked out colors before hand so I told her what I wanted and she took the time to pick the right fit. Now, over a week later, my pedicure looks good as new and my feet are still so soft. I like that they didn't push me into trying to get other services and let me enjoy getting pampered.

    Gel Mani and Pedi * protective plexiglass screens

    Clean establishment. Masking not required but plexiglass separators still in place for clients. Adequate color selection. Overpriced Gel mani-pedi that has already chipped after 3 days. The point of gel is its lasting effect. Right on the wharf so this is probably the reason for the high prices.

    Made an online appointment about 4 ish for 530 called at 430 asked if I could come in at 5 if possible if not 530 is ok. They said we can't, but 530 works. then I get a text at 515 as i'm headed down there saying it's canceled. I called and they were rude, and finally they said yes. I sat down about 535, was already done by 550, rude and fast. nails turned out ok, she was mad I accidentally scraped the nail when putting under the lights. But where the light is placed and being rushed it's easy to hit. Expensive for the fast and poor service they have here, have a feeling this will chip fast.

    Manicured hand (before)

    I've been there four times total, and they've given great service every visit. I had a lady who cleaned up my cracked nail situation quite nicely--put on the tips--and recommended SNS for my nail shape to have a better experience, since apparently I have uniquely shaped nails. I want to say her name is Nicole? Very cheerful atmosphere, as well. Recommended for a no-frills, quick, and inexpensive mani-pedi experience.

    Filed my nail down so far that my nails are throbbing in pain when I asked to remove what they started on my nails

I originally came in for a pedicure and a full set, but I ended up not getting the full set I'll explain why. When I sat down, I was never asked if I wanted a drink, while other white customers around me were. I was also not given a menu to choose the type of pedicure I wanted. That immediately rubbed me the wrong way treat everyone the same. I asked for square nails and told her multiple times not to round them, yet she continued to do so anyway. I requested French toes with a soft pink base and black tips, but she acted like she couldn't find the colors. At that point, I told her to just do solid black to keep it moving. When we went to her nail station, I showed her the reference for the full set pink acrylic with a black French tip. She tried to tell me it wasn't possible and claimed she only had gel polish. I had to pull up a TikTok and show her, and suddenly she understood exactly what I meant. By then, I already knew my nails were about to be messed up, so I told her to just do a manicure instead. I paid over $100, and my polish is already peeling off. On top of that, the tools do not appear to be properly disinfected, which is unacceptable. I am a board-certified esthetician, and this experience was extremely unprofessional. Connie was careless, and this salon overall was a huge disappointment. I will not be returning. So pissed my gel polish is already coming off..

    I've really enjoyed the MVT location in the past--it's my favorite place to get waterless in the…read morecity, and I like their commitment to sustainability and use of nontoxic materials. However, they didn't have times available, so I opted to go to the Navy Yard instead. Both locations are clean and relaxing. I also like their no-phone policy. The Navy Yard experience, however, was average. I requested their standard manicure and the luxe pedicure. Two technicians worked on me at the same time and finished at the same time - within the hour, which was great. (One minor issue- they don't roll to your other side, so you're forced to bend your arm uncomfortably toward them, which kills the experience a little.) This was my first time getting the luxe pedicure, and while they used an extra jelly moisturizer for five minutes and a quick scrub, it felt similar to the main lane (what they call their standard mani). So I probably won't opt for that again. The massage was the same length as given at the MVT location. One of the techs noted the color was sheer, and I asked for an additional layer, which they've done no problem at MVT. But she was firm that she was only doing two. Ok friend, then why ask me if I want it sheer? The layers applied were laughably thin. I get that's necessary for a good mani/pedi, but the first application barely had any polish applied. And the mani was even thinner to the point that it looked splotchy in normal lighting. The tech working on my hands also didn't get the edges well. A tad disappointed given the price but lesson learned...I'm only going to MVT from now on.

    Another victim here. Lol. Guys the reviews are not Karens, it's FACTS!…read more My own bad for not coming here to look at reviews first before doing a walk-in manicure. I thought the store was cute and looked "professional", It turned out it is just look...nothing professional. I came here cause I was around to have lunch and thought since I have some time before meeting my friends around I'll do a manicure besides waiting around by the pier. Walked in and no one welcomed me and the receptionist was somewhere hidden in the back, already a red flag but I thought I had time to spend so I'll wait. Well a good 5 mins here she comes and she polite, but once she sat me down she's back to her phone call with a friend or something, not at the front. Ok? That already doesn't look good. Then the manicure, it was nice a clean up and the guy who did it was careful and paitent with my nails, good service. But then I showed him the design which he says he doesn't do designs, so a girl helped me instead. She's nice as well, but her skill is 0. I feel bad to say, but I can't believe she doesn't have any sense in nail art. It's terrible, and I can definitely do it myself... and better! If it's just not good enough I'll take it (cause I'm a painter so it's hard to be on my OCD level), but she's... not a nail art artist at all!!! Omg?! How are they trained to do this job but is less than a normal person doing it for a friend? I hope my photos show you the quality as evidence. Please don't go there. I also costed me $70+ (tips included) just for a manicure with "design". I'm pretty upset, but at the same time I know this my own fault to not research beforehand. Annnnd I am buying a nail gel set now cause it's just hard to find a good nail artist in DC! Even with a fancy nail store, they tend to do a mediocre job. Not recommend and spend your money with 1 manicure here for 2 manicures somewhere else!
