    Full set immediately after leaving the salon.
    Jen J.

    I really wanted to like this place based on the reviews, but they were misleading. My acrylic full set was sloppily done and Lisa was not attentive to detail. I had to ask her to fix my nails multiple times. She did fix it, but with complaints. The length of time my pedicure and fully set took was inconvenient - over 2. The $5 difference in price when, compared to other salons, is not worth it. I would not go back nor recommend this place.

    These were a week old at the time. My nails have grown since then as I return for another gel mani about every 3 weeks

    My cuticles have seen the light! I started going here a few months ago for gel mani + pedi. I'm very particular about what actually qualifies as a good nail service, meaning I'm less about colors and bubbles and more about filing, shaping and smoothing rough patches of the hands and feet. In DC I find myself spending a lot of money on glorified foot-baths and "extra for callus remover" But at King they honestly care about making sure that they don't miss a thing! Ive had nothing but amazing long lasting no chip gel mani's and soft to the touch pedicures ready for summer sandal season. They have a decent selection of Gel polish. Not a place for immaculate gel art but you can get some unique colors. They've done an accent glitter nail for me before, I had a cool semi-marbleized effect and my friend had a really cool color changing polish recently! Btw this is all at no extra cost! I mean when I say they pay attention to detail! It's great considering outcome and price but you definitely have to be patient. They go as fast as they can but they do not rush and if you try to rush out they'll suggest that you better sit and let dry lol I only try to go there early mornings during the week. It's a small very tight spot 2-3 of them working at a time. You may find them trying to attend to multiple people at the same time but it's worth it if you have the time.

    Good prices and decent work. If you're getting a mani-pedi, you will spend at least 2 hours here.

    I'm not gonnna hold yall. Gonna be real with yall. So my nails I'm a little particular about…read morebecause it's my hands they gotta be set. My toes I feel like are simple- scrub, cut the dead, then paint. I don't know what it was but like yall I do not like the paint job. It looks like there was maybe too much polish on the brush so it's kinda bulky towards the root of the toe. Like this thick polish. I looked down when she was done and immediately was like wait why my feet look like that? The paint job is just idk, sloppy. Idk I just didn't like it. I mentioned it and she was super super nice and like buffed them and painted on top but fr probably shoulda been taken OFF and redone. I told her I know the polish is gonna start chipping because it's too thick... and even when she tried to buff and redo I knew the job should have been started over. I just didn't have the time or patience and it's intro to the summer so they see done enough for my flip flops and maybe it's just that stylist and not the salon but it was my first time and never going back. But! They do serve some wine and even though I think my tech was questioning my age for way too long bc I guess ASKED for the wine and maybe seemed to young and pressed but I mean no one offered so yeah... Good massage chairs, they have "happy hour" prices where they knock some dollars off. Like my service was solid but I truly just don't like the pedicure I received and I don't feel like my standards are high lol. Three days into my pedicure per my estimate the toenails started peeling and looking a hot messssss.

    I have been going to this salon for years and have been very happy with my mani and pedis.read more

Great value.. IMPORTANT: the address is confusing, and the business has almost no street presence, aside from a flashing sign in the 2nd floor corner window above you . The listed address is not the entrance.. 401 H St. NE is the legal address but it is not even on the building. The doorway is around the corner on 4th, where they post a small sidewalk sign to direct you upstairs. Also, the phone number in Yelp goes to a different number and there is no voicemail message confirming that you got the right place. I came on Wednesday morning during a heat wave and was happy to find a tidy, clean and well air-conditioned space with a friendly staff. Fun hygiene, tidbit: the manager tells me that when health inspectors come by every couple of months, they don't even check to see if the facility has single use plastic tub liners. Of course, District absolutely uses a clean liner for every pedicure customer. It's a key element in avoiding infections. And of course, they autoclave their tools on site for sterility.. as a registered nurse. This sort of thing is top of my list. Sorry I don't live in this town or this would be my regular spot.

I went in for a basic mani & French pedi. Now for those that get French - we know it's a specialized service (meaning they upcharge for it). A specialized service needs a specialist. While the nail tech was polite and tried her best, you could tell that wasn't her speciality and with the language barrier it was hard communicating exactly what was needed. Plus I think techs today put more effort into those that get gel/acrylic etc over basic/natural which is disappointing. She asked me if I wanted my toes cut down (I said yes) but she ended up filing them so they were still long. The towels are pretty dingy and they dry your feet with the same towel they work on, cuticle clean up was great but the leg massage was way too much pressure. I asked for bubble bath nail color but they gave me a purple equivalent & I had to ask for a 2nd coat. The white lines aren't crispy, & while I appreciate her trying to emulate the look I had when I came in, I think it would've been better if she just did her own thing. The manicure was standard, she skipped a few nails and had to go back. I asked for square square all around (hands & feet) but ended up with round square. Again, she was sweet & polite but for $78 - it wasn't worth the experience, especially not the French because my toe nails are still long so you can barely see the white tips and the color gives more of a purple than pink
