They are clean, organized, and efficient, There's not a lot of chatter and their work is good.

Love Janet's! Janet did my nails and I loved them. She tried to match the picture as best she could and was incredibly detail oriented. The salon itself is clean and has a wide variety of colors to choose from. Pricing was reasonable and parking is easy! read more

If you live in McLean and you love a quiet, quaint atmosphere - Janets is absolutely the place for you. I walked in during the tail end of Covid and met with Diane. After going three times back, I can say with utmost certainty that this is THE PLACE to go. Diane pays such care and attention to detail to your nails, she is astounding. Not only is she talented, but she is an absolute doll and joy to work with. I'll continue to come back to Janet's, and recommend anyone I know in the area to visit. Thank you, Diane! read more

Not the fanciest place in town but they do a wonderful job! It's usually very busy so you have to call ahead for an appointment.

I've been going to the nail palace for at least 14 years on and off. I generally get some combo of gel or regular mani or pedi and eyebrow waxing. Everyone does a great job. They have tons of plastic dividers up for covid and require masks so everyone feels safe. read more

Janets Nail Palace - Gel manicure OPI "juice bar hopping" - Nail Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I went in a little bit unsure of what type of manicure I wanted, but felt pressured into picking the more expensive acrylic manicure that I was considering in comparison to a regular manicure. When I changed my mind to switch to a regular manicure, the manicurist seemed annoyed and kept asking why I wouldn't want acrylics. She did a sloppy job of a regular manicure, painting my nails very haphazardly. I wish I just painted my nails at home! read more

I called ahead and checked if they could possibly take my kids last minute and they said they could make room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who has kids that want their nail done. Unfortunately it went way over when they were going to closed but they were super accommodating and understanding. The place has a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Another fun visit to Janet's. Red nails & toes for Christmas and then some extra fun with a snowman, ornament, Christmas tree with star on top. My nails are beautiful and FUN! By far my favorite nail salon! So glad they can always help out:) read more

Just 3 layers of new plain manicure. No massages. No hot towels. Nina charged me $ 45 on Nov. 21, 2021. The shop doesn't display the price lists. read more

They have like hundreds of nail polish colors but they cant find a color you want! The salon itself is so outdated

This place is still ridiculously rude even years after continuing to give it a try out of convenience. Every time I make an appointment the women look at me like I'm stupid when I walk in and they don't start on time. Tonight I made an appt for me and my 10yr old daughter for 6pm. These women did not even address us. We were there right at 6 and the place was full. At around 615 they told us to put our feet in water. About 620 I realized that they were stalling. No one came to us and when we decided to leave they didn't even bother to apologize. I HATE IT HERE DO NOT TRY IT. They treat people like crap and it's inexcusable. read more

Janets Nail Palace - The horrible pedicure. The short nails Nina cut. - Nail Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I got my nails done and they are taking all the Safety steps to have everything clean. Besides that my nail where so beautiful, they do q amazing job. read more

Janet's Nail Palace during this pandemic is safer than some doctors' offices. Janet has built plexiglass partitions that her staff uses when providing services to customers. The partitions protect both the manicurist and the customer. I have been going to this nail salon for about 30 years and have used the same manicurist, Angie, during these years. Angie always provides over-the-top service! The salon mandates masks for all staff and customers. So, during this time, if you're looking for a nail salon that is taking every precaution to keep you safe, Janet's Nail Salon is it! Mary Ann D read more

Staffs are really irritating they talk in their own language which makes other uncomfortable. Prices are cheap though. read more

This is a note of praise for the excellent job your staff has done creating a safe and hospitable Covid-free environment. The movable plexiglass screens used during pedicures and the stationary screens for the manicures ensure a high degree of protection while also allowing the client and the provider to see eachother and talk freely. I was also very impressed by the follow-up cleaning of screens and other surfaces after each client left and before a new client was seated. It is a great idea to post the up-to-date Covid 19 training certificates each staff member earned, thus ensuring your customer's confidence in your staff. Kudos to Janet's Nail Palace for a job well done! T read more

I have come here on and off since the 90s. Today was the worst yet. As usual the staff chats among themselves and you are not invited to the party. At all. The place is dirty, instruments have who knows whose nail dust all over it. I have had a technician eat her lunch while painting my nails. Today, there was so much chatter among them, I didn't actually get the whole pedicure...she barely massaged because she was focused elsewhere. Then, she was sneezing! Her snotty hands were working on me! She couldn't understand why I was uneasy. Lastly, as I was leaving, another technician is just standing there flossing her teeth. No joke! Your nails will look nice, but it is not a spa experience at all. read more

I went here for the first time today, and walked out with 2 bloody toes. I absolutely could not believe this happened. I didn't even get nail polish, although I was charged $25.00 for this service, and then quickly went over to CVS to buy antibiotic cream. I'm sorry I have to write a bad review, but this was unacceptable. read more

I've been going here for three years and the staff is always kind and thorough. I was there very recently and they are taking all of the necessary precautions for cleanliness and safety and even stayed 30 minutes after closing to do my pedicure. I am a believer that we should support these small businesses during this very challenging time, especially if they are going the extra mile and spending the extra money to make sure their customers are safe and get the services they expect. read more

They are all very good and really have pandemic rules covered so well. They are very conscientious.

I would've given Janets Nail Palace 5 Stars but the manacurists spend a lot of time talking to each other while working on clients. Most of the time they are speaking in Vietnamese which makes you wonder if they intentionally don't want their clients to understand their conversations. Otherwise, their manicures and pedicures are top notch. read more

Great service, have observed extra kindness to older patrons and people with disabilities. Always happy with results.

My mother took me here and it was amazing! I'm 9 months pregnant and this is exactly what I needed. They took very good care of us and I was able to forget the discomforts of pregnancy for a while. I loved the massage treatment. read more

Not very professional. They all seem to have long gabfests in Vietnamese. The manicure I received the first tim was stealer the next two less than mediocre. Will not return. read more

I had an amazing experience. I called and they fit me in right away. It's been around for 20+ years so the interior is not modern but still comforting. I will definitely be going back! read more

Highly recommend Janet's Nail Palace. They are masked and vaccinated with glass barriers between booths. Door open, frequent cleaning. Safe and few customers this afternoon. Great service! read more

I'm confused as to why people are so hard on this place. Maybe I came in on a good day, but my pedicure was wonderful. The woman working with me, was very nice. Even added five+ minutes to my ten minute massage! I'll take that any day! Prices are low and great. $15 mani, $30 pedi. Cheap for this area. The only cons: the polishes seemed old, and there weren't many choices. Neutrals are in, and I might have seen five options. Most of which were dried up and almost empty. They could invest in more neutrals and less neons. I also found it odd that there were nine workers in this place during lunch, and two customers. 6 nail technicians sat in the back chairs eating and talking loudly. Not very relaxing. They should eat and socialize loudly in the back. Their yelp reviews may be effecting their business numbers. read more

The only nail salon in McLean that especially welcomes men, you don't have to make an appointment and the device quality is excellent.

This place ROCKS. The ladies who work here are so sweet. This is not a spa - this is a get it done and get out with your fingers and toes looking great - type of place. Quick - efficient - friendly - all business. I am a germaphobe and 'Janet's' is super clean... The place is actually owned by a lady named Janet and she has been in business for over 20 years... I mean - if you are looking for a spa experience and to have somebody listen to whatever you want to talk about or kiss your behind (this isn't that type of place) - go to a spa - some of the negative comments I don't understand... their acrylic nails look like natural nails - I get compliments a lot... read more

Janets Nail Palace - View - Nail Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

My friend raved about this place and I cannot figure out why. The three of us went for manicures and I also got a pedicure, expecting that this place was going to be great. The pedicure was normal, I didn't receive a lot of direction about where to sit, where to put my purse when to put my feet in etc. and I was disappointed in the massage chair (half the reason I get a pedicure!). Everything was fine, I couldn't understand the woman's English, but she hardly spoke to me anyway, she spoke constantly to the other women there in a foreign language. Then the manicure is when things really went downhill. She wanted me to stay in the pedicure chair while she did my manicure. Fine, no problem except when I had to cross my arms over my chest, repeatedly, for five minutes at a time. It was not comfortable! Clearly she wasn't thinking about me, just the fact that she didn't have to move. She also cut my nails instead of filing them, I worked for two weeks to grow my nails out since as a nursing student you can't have long nails and she cut them super short. When I asked her not to cut them, but maybe file them instead she said yes, okay I cut long... Her definition of long and mine we different. My nails were short, I was annoyed. They weren't even the same length! My pinky nail was long while my ring finger was cut almost to the skin. She did make me pay before putting on polish (smart and standard move) then she layered on the polish but didn't get all the way to the sides. I could have done a better job myself. I gave her a tip only because I feel like you have to tip in those professions but I won't be going back. The only good thing, it was cheaper than other places, just goes to show- you get what you pay for! read more

My favorite neighborhood spot! The staff is nice, they remember you the next time you come in, and it has a true neighborhood atmosphere. You aren't going to a spa. You are going to a less expensive nail place that people regularly go to to get the job done. They are hard working women who do just what you need! Additionally, I would highlight that they do a great waxing job for eye brows and lips. They use real hot wax, not the fake kind that makes you break out. read more

I've been going to Janet's for years and Diane is amazing! She provides the best customer service, keeps me current with new products/services and over time I've learned all about her family so much so she is like my family! I have weak nails so I am quite the challenge. Regardless I leave with fabulous nails and shapely eyebrows. read more

I have been coming to Janet's nail salon for 18+ years and LOVE them. The one thing I missed during COVID was getting my nails done and pedicures. I know first world problems but everyone has their own battle and missing getting my nails done was mine. BUT, it is not just getting nails done, it is the comradery with my friends Susan, Janet and Diane. Love supporting a local, small business that gets it done. I recommend them to everyone and for great reasons.... read more

My wife and I have been going to Janet's for a number of years - they are fabulous - very pleasant & professional - always accommodating - and fair on pricing - we wouldn't go anywhere elder - a definite thumbs up. read more

I went to Janet's to get a pedicure. I walked in without wearing a mask. I was offered one, but I declined. There were about three other women there getting their fingernails done. I was the only one getting a pedicure in the long line of pedicure chairs. The last time I went there, the place was full, and I was not wearing a mask and refused the mask they offered me. They had given me a hard time then too, but they came up with a compromise: they wheeled a plexiglass shield around me, and that seemed to satisfy the manager. Today, after the pedicure attendant took off my old nail polish, clipped my nails and filed them, the manager came over to me and asked me why I wasn't wearing a mask. I told her I couldn't - medical exemption, just like the last time. She told me that she accomodated me last time, but not now, and that I would have to leave. I protested, but she wouldn't budge! I got up and left. The other customers there were stunned. I couldn't see their faces because they were masked, but their eybrows were raised in suprise at the callous way the manager treated me. Nevertheless, after calling around to three different salons, I found a salon in Vienna that was willing to accommodate me. And they were $10.00 cheaper for a much better service!! In a way I'm glad things went down this way. I ended up getting a better deal! And Janet's will NEVER get my business! Oh, and I will make sure to tell as many people as I can about the way I was treated. I think I will even call the Board of Nursing and Cosmetology on them and report this unprofessional treatment and lack of accomodations. I do believe that they were in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act, which comes with a hefty fine for each occurrence. Isn't it $75,000 per occurrence? read more
