Left with wrist nails then i came in with. I did one nail and did a better job than she did. I sat in her chair for three hours trying again and again and this was the best she could do. I only stayed as she said she was going to charge me the same anyway, but still gave up. My friends came with me and they got yelled out the door because she said I needed my money back. Waste of time and money unfortunately. The pedicure was alright. read more

I was in the area and received a gel manicure from this salon. I came on a Friday around 5pm and there was only one other customer there. However, there was also only one technician working. I should've asked how long the wait would be, but she set me up and soaked my nails for about 15 minutes before getting to me. I noticed the water used in the bowl was from a portable hot water boiler, the nail filer/buffer was quite used, and she dropped it on the floor. However, I believe she noticed that I noticed it dropped so she took out another filer but it was also just as used. The gel manicure itself went smoothly, and it has been over a week and my nails have held up. The gel manicure was $30 and they provided a complimentary water bottle at the end, but I'm not sure if I would return. read more

I have been a faithful customer to Annie (owner) since 2014. She is great at what she does. She offers a very personal experience and knows me by name. She takes great care of my nails and even worked and coached me thru getting rid of a nail fungus . TMI, I know but I'm really appreciative! Its a small, humble shop but the service has always been wonderful. Do yourself a favor and give her a call. 202-642-7328. (I have her permission to post her cell) read more

I love this nail salon. they do really well with natural nails. I am so happy I found this salon because my old nail salon was shut down. I recommend going to them for gel and dip in powder. The nail salon is pricey but it is worth it. The best nail stylist are the husband and wife. I go to them all the time. Overall, the customer service is good. read more

Do not go. I get my hair done next door so thought I'd try them out but I just got the worst pedicure I've ever gotten in my life. It was painful and uncomfortable. The guy who was doing it was rough and you could tell he didn't want to be there or want to be working. I peeped his negative vibe as soon as I walked in and should have taken that as a cue to leave. I don't know if he regularly does pedis. One of the other techs had to leave so he may have been filling in but he manhandled my feet (no pun intended) and the resulting pedi was mediocre. 3 on a scale from 1-10. I was less relaxed when I left than when I arrived. read more

I walked out thinking my experience at King Nails was great, until I realized the work did not last. I had a manicure, pedicure, and full arm wax, all for a reasonably priced $50, which is unheard of in DC. The staff was friendly. The actual work and quality appeared fine. It wasn't until the next day, when two nails started chipping, that I became worried. Then, my pedicure starting chipping within four days. And, finally I experienced a breakout on my arms. I've had many services over many years and can't remember the last time I experienced a skin issue or nail chipping that quickly. I'd find someplace else in the area. read more

Upon entry to the storefront, the woman peered at me through the glass as if to ask what did I want. I asked if she was open and she continued to stare at me. After 30 secs of waving my nails, she finally let me in, however, the location did not look up to par with its cleanliness, so I said thanks and left. Um, never again. read more

Wonderful mani/pedi service! I got the spa treatment as well, and was Impressed by their level of details with everything. Annie was great. They checked their work after each step, made sure everything was done right, and remained friendly and hospitable the whole time. A man-approved nail salon, A+ read more

Very nice staff and they take all the necessary covid precautions. They have a good selection of colors and the prices are reasonable.

It's 3.75 stars really. This place gives a good manicure & pedicure ($26)- don't let the aesthetics fool you. I've been going to this place regularly for well over 2 years now. Why do I keep coming back to this even though I live in SS and drive past a ton of others to get there? The QUALITY OF SERVICE- The ladies here do the best pedicure because they take their time, shape your nails, clip the cuticles, scrub the heels, etc. Its not a 20 minute pedicure that many other places in the area try to do. Nope usually its 45 minutes. They do have new massage chairs which are a nice upgrade from the old ones . The manicures take 30-45 minutes but they last for days even if you're doing dishes without gloves. The STAFF- I've gone many of times around 745pm (week days & weekends) and they take me every time. Being a working woman sometimes you just can't fit it in earlier. The ladies here totally understand and urge me to come in and relax. They even offer me fruits while they are all waiting for me to finish drying so they can go home. So lemme give you some tips if you're going to visit this place: 1) This is not a spa- you're here for maintenance not ambiance 2) You want the latest colors- you may want to bring a bottle with you. While they have OPI & China Glaze, its not always the most up-to-date collection. I always bring my old reliable color with me just in case. 3) Call before to ask if you can come now - they give approximate suggestions for when exactly you should arrive This place doesn't look like much at all but the people who are there give good old fashioned nail service that is tough to find here in DC. Plus they are across from Domku so you can get a good Scandinavian meal after. read more

OK, I decided to give this place another shot. On first glance, I saw they had cleaned this place up a bit and the soda rings had disappeared into the paradise where all good soda rings go. Then I realized this place is under new ownership and because of my experience dealing with these people, I have officially named this place the "Noisy Nickel and Dime Palace for Nails" and here is why. Firstly, the chatter and noise level in this place was completely overwhelming and guess what, I was the only patron there. Every employee, including my nail technician, was talking to one another as if they were all born in a barn. Too bad for me I guess:-(! On to the pedicure and manicure. The service itself was not awful but this is what turned my stomach: "You want scrub of feet, $10.00 extra, you want buff, $5.00 extra," and on and on and on. Just tell me the price of your services is $45.00 and stop with this damned nickel and dime-ing crap because it gives your place a sense of being low class. If the price is $30.00 then it is or make it all inclusive and raise the damned price to reflect it!! Even when I had changed my mind and did not want the foot scrub, because my nail technician did not speak english and the go between refused to inform her of my change in decision, out came the scrub and on it went. I am a nice guy so I paid for it but I just will never go back!!! read more

This place has a new owner. And I'm sure the lady just started doing nails. She's gotten a little better, but it's still hit or miss. I only go sometimes because it's around the corner from me. I wouldn't refer it. read more

I love King Nails! The technician is always very personable and friendly. She takes her time to meet my requests; if I change my mind on a color, there's NEVER a dispute! I also get my best pedicures there! I love subtle designs and always appreciate the technicians creativity. My bi-monthly visits always surpass satisfactory! The fact that the place is spotless every time I visit gives them an extra star! read more

Ugh! I went to the salon for gel manicure and regular pedicure color white. I got nail polish sealed on my fingertip , the nail polish by my cuticles was never cleaned up and made neat and then lastly the technician painted a string or a hair into my polish. when I showed it to her she took an emery board scraped it across my nail and never put a top coat back on. I will never ever ever ever return. If there was a way to do negative five stars that's what I would give it read more

I have been going to Kings Nail off and on for a few years now. Is it as nice as V Nails in CH? No way. Do they do a better set of acrylics? Oh my, yes they do! Let me be clear. I do not go here to get pampered. I do not go here for the experience. This place is good for two things: a nice set of acrylics and decent nail designs. Their nail techs know how to repair and put on a thin layer with no extra crap on the cuticles. The one thing that bothers me is that they could have a wall or divider between the salon part and the cleaning/laundry area. In general, they could spruce up the place. read more

I went to get my feet done today and literally had to get into an argument with the staff because I refused to allow them to put dirty slides on my feet to paint my toe nails. This is not the first time this has happened. Trying to reuse paper slippers on customers is nasty and unsanitary. I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK!!! read more

I've been going here for 6 years since they are convenient. They are under new management. I let the new guy do my eyebrows. I asked him to clean up what I have. 5 mins later, my eyebrows are half the width they usually are and look more like rainbows than eyebrows. They are also two different sizes. Never again. read more

Pam is cool. Even though she takes forever. She does a great job. Fyi U pay a lil more than a typical hood nail salon. But its worth it.

It doesn't look like much on the outside (or inside tbh), but they do such a great job here. Great attention to detail from the nail techs and a level of care that's on par with high-end spas. read more

Awful experience through and through for the simplest manicure. Quick, poor filing and shaping, cuticles left shabby, nail polish poorly applied to the point where previous person's color bled into mine and he had to redo multiple nails (only upon request), nail polish left on my skin which I had to also request to clean up. Basically zero knowledge. Maybe a different staff member would be better. The place is dirty top to bottom with junk lying everywhere. Dried up, disorganized nail polish. There must be zero ventilation because it reeks of chemicals. So unhealthy for the staff! With so few places in Petworth, it's super disappointing. read more

I was worried to try this place because of the bad reviews. But since it is close to my place I decided to give it a try. I went on a Friday afternoon around 3pm and didn't have to wait. I got the gel manicure and regular pedicure. She took her time to do both and they looked great. Manicure lasted almost 3 weeks and pedicure still looks good. I will go back for sure. read more

Please think before you go in this nail shop! First of all the owner doesn't like BLACK/COLOR PEOPLE. She say's she doesn't speak English until it comes to money. One license but there four people working..... If you ask for services from Shawn, the owner says it not her turn... When you spend your money for service you pick whom you want to provided that service. Save your time and money and go some where else. On Ga Ave. NW there 25 from Georgia Ave & New Hampshire to the DC line. read more

I am so happy the local nail salon is under new management! I have been twice and Annie (formerly of V Nails in Columbia Heights) is a skilled nail technician. I have been pleased with the results. The price is reasonable and if you go "off hours" the wait is short. The salon is very clean, a big improvement over previous management. Would like to see more "traditional" classy nail colors. If you want a bright red or light pink, you might consider bringing your polish. read more

I've been hesitant to try this spot because the Yelp reviews are so mixed and because they don't consistently answer their phone and seem to make their own hours from time to time. In any case, they are in my neighborhood and I don't always feel like traveling to my fave nail spot in Dupont Circle (DC Body Co Spa & Nails). The place was clean, there was just the owner, another nail tech and an older Asian woman who was asleep in one of the pedicure chairs. I think the woman who did my nails was newer. She spoke very little English, was timid but very nice. Everything was just okay. The polish application was just okay, the pedicure was just okay. I didn't feel like my feet were as smooth as other places have gotten them (that's key for me with a pedicure) and the polish pooled around my cuticles (polish application is also key for me). When I pointed this out to my nail tech, she did use a paintbrush tool dipped in polish remover and removed most of the excess pooled polish. They are better than the spot right around the corner on Georgia Avenue and across the street from Dunkin Donuts (forgot their name but will review/their pedicure was official, lasted mad long and was $20-but they don't have quality or good colors) because it does not smell like an autobody repair shop when you come in and they mucho polish colors. King Nails is odorless, quiet and clean from what I saw. A basic pedi is $23 dollars and I would go there again because it is close by, fairly relaxing, clean and they had lots of quality polish and colors!!! Oh! They also gave complimentary bottled water! One thing though, my nail tech did my entire pedicure with latex gloves on (never had that experience before) and the owner who was working on a client when I arrived, did not have any gloves on. Curious to me because once the owner said pick your color to me, she said something to my nail tech (not in English) and she put latex gloves on. But don't worry....I'm going to visit again just to compare and report back! read more

Absolutely stellar service and great attention to detail! My technician was an absolutely gem. She was friendly and my nails turned out great!

The people that run this business are really nice. I always get charged 26 bucks for a mani-pedi no matter what time I go. In fact, one day I couldn't get to the nail place until ten minutes before closing and they stayed open to make sure I got everything I needed done. I definitely like this place. The manicures aren't anything special, but their pedicures are pretty nice. read more

They take their time and really offer great service. There is a little bit of a language barrier, but honestly all you need to do is speak up and with a little guidance the end result is good! Paid only $13 for a refill, everywhere else in DC is anywhere between 25-35 just for a refill! Good quality job for a low price. read more

It took me 7 months to finally try this place after moving into the neighborhood. And I wish I had just waited longer. I was just feeling too lazy to walk the couple extra blocks to Envy. My fault. The most modern thing in this place is the 1-800-Collect Mr. T magnet. I now have a mediocre manicure and an even more mediocre pedicure that was done WITHOUT WATER!!! What?!? Not even a massage! I was the only person there, so I thought that perhaps the spa chairs/foot baths didn't work. Strike one. As I was drying though, another woman walked in and asked for a pedicure and they filled a basin with water at a spa chair and went to it! I asked my lady what happened with me and she said she *thought* I just wanted a polish change. Yeah - never said that, so pretty big assumption. And the fact that I walked in without polish to even change should have been a hint. There are two reason to get a pedicure: 1) the polish, 2) the foot massage. I got one part...and it wasn't stellar, so out of this place scores a 3.5 out of 10 at the best. read more

This is the worst experience ever. I have been getting my nails done professionally for the past 10 years, of those 3, in dc. I was so disappointed as this is the closest salon to my home, but I will never be going back. I arrived and asked how long for a gel manicure. She said come back in 20 minutes. I kindly told her I live down the street, I had came straight from work on a Friday night, two weeks ago, so I could just run home drop my bags and change. She said oh no, put your phone my,bet down, so I did, and said see you in twenty. She changed her mind and said oh no go sit here and soak. The woman I a, referring to is the lady that sits at the front, likely the manager. I went to the table she pointed to and am older woman with very little English started wrapping my nails to soak. She took the, off two ,Jutes later, clearly not enough soak time and started filing the gel off. First red flag, OR second really. Then another woman came and started on my manicure but realizes that all the gel was not properly removed so SHE started filing them too! After about twenty minutes of that she got started on the manicure, while attempting to scrape off some last minute gel, she cut my ring finger and it started bleeding. I have a pretty high threshold for pain so it didn't hurt but she acted like it didn't even happen and continued until I finally pulled away indicating she hurt me. Third red flag At this point I was already in the chair with my nails halfway done so I didn't over dramatize the incident and kept going. I had a chipped nail and asked that she put acrylic so it stay in tact, she said something to the lady at the front desk who became outraged and said loudly so other patrons heard, "that will be extra money" I Said at was ok because I figured that much. Then I told her about a broken pinky nail and she was even more upset and was mumbling something and said that will be ten dollars. I was pretty fed up at this point because it was like 730 pm , I was hangry and overall disappointed and discontent with my experience. I asked her to " please stop shouting prices at me. I just want my nails done, your colleague cut me and I have not once complained." She didn't respond and did a botched job on both nails. Pictures to follow. read more
