I've been to this salon a few times and they always do a great job, both manicures and pedicures. They don't do acrylic but offered gel-x which I've never had but they look fantastic! I asked for a French manicure and Lily brought out the perfect colors and painted the tips an off white shade rather than the regular white to give a more natural look. They also have a new cat eye collection that I want to try. It gets pretty busy so I recommend making a reservation which can be booked online. read more

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 read more

Convenient but nail techs could use training. Got a manicure and she pushed my cuticles back way too hard to where she injured my cuticle with cuts in the skin around nail bed which are now swollen and irritated. Not okay and praying no infection sinks in. Also did not cleanup skin on sides of nails so the polish is now lifting on the sides. I didn't press her on it because she wasn't that skilled as it was and I didn't want more damage. I had Ari. Pedicure was quick. Next time I'll stick with my place in Georgetown. read more

My go to spot for gel manicure. They are professional, timely, and provide long-lasting nails. Very clean establishment, as well .

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. read more

This place is awful. If you like a rushed nightmare it is for you! They don't listen to what you want. There are so many nail salons in the DMV, this just isn't it. read more

It depends who your nail technician is. Mine was inexperienced- slow, unsure, didn't use lotion like the others, had to ask a senior for help when she messed up. IF I come again I'd ask for another nail technician. read more

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. read more

It's a nice place, nice ladies and beautiful work on my nails! Thank you Jenni and the team!

This place isn't bad if you don't have many options, however my nails always chip or break. They also 50% of the time call to cancel. So if in a bind, average place to go. But looking for quality go somewhere else. read more

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. read more

This nail salon is okay. My gel chipped quickly. Overall I thought it was pricey for what you get. But the nail techs were quick and attentive. read more

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. read more

I thought my manicurist was abrupt. And when I went to pay, I requested to use the tap feature and when it didn't work for some reason, she tried to snatch the card out of my hand to insert it, That was totally inappropriate and rude.

I am a Broadway actor in town doing a show. My theater company scheduled an appointment for me to have nails done for our show a week in advance. Even put a card on file and 20% gratuity. I get to the salon 10 minutes before my appointment and still had to wait 20 mins after my appointment to be seen. When I finally get seen nail tech starts doing GelX nails on me. She clearly doesn't know what she is doing as I get this service done frequently in NYC. Mid service she says she ran out of builder gel which adheres nail tip. She gets mad and they give me another nail tech which proceeds to try doing my nails. She doesn't know what she's doing either. Half way through the service a nail literally pops off. So I tell them to stop service. This nail tech proceeds to yell something in her native language and drills/files my nail down to the point where she burns me. So I tell her to stop and take off what she started. This is bad business. From the moment I walked in I felt half assed welcomed probably because of my race. I regret ever walking foot in this place. Pic is how my hands look leaving. read more

InStyle Nail Bar - Filed my nail down so far that my nails are throbbing in pain when I asked to remove what they started on my nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had a group of three that I asked for an appt. They told us to come back at a time that could serve us all but then when we got there 1 of 3 of us sat for over 40 minutes with no technician with a cold water pedicure bowl. Terrible customer service. I won't go back. read more

I will definitely be back to InStyle. The inside was clean, and well kept. They cleaned after every client, and the pedicure tubs are lined with new disposable plastic after every client. I came here for the first time for the lavender pedicure and gel manicure. The pedicure was so relaxing, and smelled amazing. The nails were exactly what I wanted (but will get them shorter next time, I've learned having them this long is kinda cumbersome)! Mimi did my nails and another tech who was really sweet did my pedicure. My only issue was that the inside was pretty warm at first, but I think they turned on the AC once more clients came in (I had a morning appointment). read more

I was mostly satisfied with my service as I randomly decided to patronize this business on Sunday. However my toe was cut with the tool used which resulted in burning when she continued with the service. I intentionally did not leave a tip due to this and when my transaction posted a tip was added after the fact. I find this a little unsettling because it's already an inflated price for a $96 pedicure but the nerve of you to add your own tip and I have a copy of my receipt is a little crazy read more

Great experience! Lovely kind staff :) Im suppose to add more characters but they did a lovely job for 7 of us on a whim and took good care of everyone :) read more

I don't recommend this place. The color selection isn't good. Almost every nail salon in DC offers beverages and InStyle doesn't. But my biggest issue was the staff. I called for an appointment and asked for a gel color change. When I arrived I told the front desk person I wanted a gel color change. I wrote down on the sign-in sheet that I wanted a gel color change. And what does the nail tech do? Tried to do a full pedicure before I had to stop her, and then ended up doing a full manicure (that costs $38 bucks plus a $2 fee for taking the old ones off - a total ripoff). Why are you not listening to your customers? I didn't want to cause a scene so I just paid the full price for the manicure but I've been feeling upset about spending that much money on something I never asked for. After all of that, it's starting to chip after less than 24 hrs. I'm taking my $$ right back to Mimosa on 18th street because they do an excellent job, the manicure never chips before 2 weeks and don't they don't try and scam you. read more

It's hard to find good nail places in dc, especially SW, but I consistently get great manicures and pedicures here. They are a little pricey but the gel lasts forever and the service is really good. Every nail tech I've seen has done a good job and they're always careful and listen to what I want. I'll definitely be back. read more

InStyle Nail Bar - Basic manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great spot, left happy with my manicure. Basic was exactly what I needed to get my nails back in shape during travels and ready for work meetings. I made the appt. the evening before via the app and was pleasantly surprised with the morning vibe. The team works well together. Zulaa did a fantastic job reshaping my nails and cuticles. Gentle, kind approach. I will be back! read more

I went in for a regular mani and pedi. When I got there the woman who was going to do my nails didn't even acknowledge me. I brushed it off. As she was painting my nail I asked her to only do two coats because three is too thick. She said 3 was better and proceeded until I gently said two. Then they started speaking in Korean. She then put on the disposable flip flops instead of the ones I wore there which would have avoided switching over. At the point I cancelled my manicure. They are extremely rude in there. read more

Got my nails done on Saturday and it's already chipped on Sunday. So that's disappointing. The salon was nice. Note you have to tip in cash, which I didn't have and when I asked where an ATM was no one knew... another client told me where to go. If you're going to make customers tip in cash you should probably know where the nearest ATM is. Needless to say.... won't be back. read more

InStyle Nail Bar - Bad nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Walked in and out in 30 minutes without an appointment on a Saturday morning. Salon is pretty and clean and the tech did a great job on my nails. I got a gel polish change and it was a good price! Tech was very receptive to how I wanted my nails shaped. Overall I'm a happy customer. I'm only giving 4 starts because some of the tools were communal (I think they have been used on other customers) but there was no clipping cuticle or nail so it didn't bother me too much. It was the nail file and buffer block. I used to go to a salon that never reused anything and had them in sanitized packets, so that's my standard. I don't think it was unsanitary however. read more

Yikes. What a mess! I had a 3:00 appointment for gel nails. I sat there until ~3:25 until I was seen without apology. While the technician was doing my nails, she asked to be reminded what hand she had already done. After, I noticed my right thumb had polish missing from the edge of my nails. The technician 's solution was to file my nail down. Four days later, the polish on that nail is peeling back and so I have to be careful to not lose it. TWO days after my manicure, I was in the airport (I had gotten a gel manicure because I was going on work travel and wanted to look good) when the polish on my left off simply flew off while I was unzipping my bag. I now carry around the polish hoping I can glue it back on... though it is hard to find super glue in the country I am in. Five days in, almost all my nails are chipped. Also, first day, I noticed a weird bump on the side of my nail. read more

Would not recommend coming here for a dip manicure. Had one nail pop off on day one.. now one week in and multiple nails are hanging on by a thread. Don't be fooled by location and appearance, shoddy work and absurd prices. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

This has become my go-to spot because LyLy is a miracle worker! Even the first time I went to her (my nails were messy, weak, and uneven) she was able to take my disastrous nails and make them look perfect. Now several months later they look the best they ever have! She has such attention to detail, shaping them so that they're all even and uniform--no matter what shape I ask for or the condition they're in when I arrive. She goes out of her way to identify ways to help my natural nails hold up better--putting extra layers on the tips, etc.--so that they last between appointments. I have walked in thinking there is no way my nails can ever recover after having to go somewhere else, and somehow I walk out with them perfect. On top of all of that, the space is new, clean, and modern. I have never had issues getting an appointment and can often walk-in. I will note that like many other nail bars they take tips in cash. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'm thrilled to have a spot I can count on so close! read more
