    I went in for lashes, Ive been told theres only one licensed lash tech that works here. This wasnt my first time, actually my 3rd.. so it was surprising to see a new face to do my lashes when i walked in yesterday. I showed a picture of some volume lashes i wanted. This lady said she would do them for 110. I repeated back to her okay.. 110? Alright lets do it. First of all. Whatever primer or cleaner was put on first was literally setting my eyes on fire. Once we got through that the next time my eye was bothered I said i think one of the lashes is bothering my eye. She replied saying its the lashes I want are too thick do classic! I said Ive never had a problem any other time I get them done.. So I just sit there in pain for awhile til it goes away, this woman literally would press down on my eyeball. I thought i was tripping!! Nope sotting here writing this my left eye feels literally sore when I look around. When the lashes are finished this woman peels the tape off quick and i jumped cause i literally felt my eyebrow getting removed off my face. I swear I cant make this up before I was allowed to open my eyes she offers me "free microblading" and drew on eyebrows for her pictures. As annoyed as I was I had still planned to tip for the effort. I got to the register and saw the pictures and my eyes were blood red. AND she charged me 120$! literally wtf. I tipped STILL and to be completely honest I need a full refund! At the end of the day these are full lashes but not the ones I wanted that she charged me extra for. On top of that my eye the next day is STILL RED and SORE!! Do NOT let Van touch your lashes! She will rip your eyebrows off and gouge your eyes out before its finished. Not coming back.

    Lee is truly amazing! After moving to Alexandria, VA, I struggled to find a reliable nail technician. At my previous salon, the techs didn't file my nails down to the cuticle, which meant I had to return more frequently. Then I met Lee, and everything changed! His skill, precision, and attention to detail gave me the perfect experience I'd been searching for over four years. I highly recommend him--be sure to mention Kimberly sent you when you visit!

    Lee, Tommy and all the girls are amazing, best pedi in the area and their acrylic services are so great and long lasting well done and with all the care

    Pink SNS powder nails with pastel design.

    Lee and Tommy get it perfect every time!!! They never rush doing your nails. The nails last a long time. I've been going here for years. I moved and I drive 1 1/2 hours to go to them. That's how awesome they are.

    Lee who is the owner is the absolute best nail tech I've found in years. She takes her time and always gives the best personal service. Also their prices are very fair!!

    Cut twice and it hurt

    Asked for powder French tip and the job was really bad. I think she was the owner? It was super thick and she made the white line with regular nail polish and not French tip. It looked bad that even people told me it wasn't pretty. I paid $65 plus $5 tip which I felt like it was so expensive. I also got cut twice by her but she was very lovely overall. Definitely not a hygienic nail salon.

    Brand news toes!!!

    Extremely personable staff and is a family run business. The massage chairs in the pedicure station make you wish the treatment never ends.

    I am extremely unhappy with this place. I mean really, this looks like my little brother painted my nails. This is their "gel manicure". When I mentioned there were bubbles he just added more gel. I mean, even I know this just makes it more bubbly. And when I mentioned that there were still bubbles he said "I don't know what to do". "I could soak them off and then you leave." They offered me a discount but they could have at least offered to redo the ones that were bubbly. To make matters worse I have a 2 week vacation that I leave for TOMORROW. Oh and as im getting the gel painted on the guy working on another client mentions to her how a client walked out on my nail tech the other day without paying Red flag! How about you hire new nail techs!!

The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and I genuinely had a great time chatting while getting pampered. They have a really fun range of color options -- everything from bold neons to soft neutrals, plus some fun glitters. Whether you're into something classic or want to try something new, they've got you covered. They did a great job with my pedicure and my gel manicure for an upcoming wedding. Bonus: They're offering 20% off a mani and pedi Monday through Thursday for the next week, which makes it the perfect time to treat yourself (or grab a friend and go together!) My pedicure was perfect, my gel manicure had a couple of spots that were a little over painted along my nail beds.

    I would give zero stars except Rick did a great job on my nails and I could tell he was actually…read moretrying. But considering the fact that it has been weeks, and my toes are still sore, injured, and sensitive, I would not recommend this place. But do not come here. I don't recommend. I came in after seeing an ad online for a discount. It said it was under new management, so I thought I would give them a chance. This was clearly a mistake. I showed up for my 5:30 appointment and waited about 15 minutes before I was even seated at a pedicure station. And even then, I was just seated with some water. How they looked, they would've known I had fell on my toes and needed to be soaked off. But no one started doing that. In fact, nobody even started my pedicure until about 6:05 PM. But once it did start, it was OK in the beginning. She started soaking the gel off of my toes. However, she immediately started to use a nail file to buy the child off of my toes. While doing so, she was a bit reckless and was buffing skin off of my toes. I was flinching the whole time and even informed her of what she was doing. She just kept repeatedly saying sorry. I didn't realize how bad she had gotten me until I looked down, and saw a ton of blood around my cuticles, And saw her dump alcohol on them. It wasn't until I headed to the mail station where I got a closer look at my toes after she finished them and noticed how badly they had been painted. She didn't even pay the full nail and her layers were uneven AF. I immediately informed them that this was not OK. Rick looked and could see that there were issues and immediately offered to fix them. I also have to admit that he offered me a discount for my toes, and eventually fix them. But by that point, she had already done damage. Not only had she taken off a corner of my perfectly straight toenail, But she also really love so much skin that I now have bruises, scabs, and dark spots all around my toenails. Rick did a wonderful job on my hands for the most part. I got builder gel and he ended up doing a design. However, the good service he provided absolutely does not make up for how terrible my overall experience here was. I am so disappointed. I will never be back and I would not recommend. Finally, I want to add, that they are soliciting five star reviews on both yelp and Google in exchange for discounts and free services (designs, etc.) so beware when you are reading some of these more positive reviews across sites.

Tom came out and literally gave me his parking spot, talk about amazing customer service. As far as my experience, I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure while enjoying a few mimosas. I was very relaxed and serviced as soon as I walked in the door. Linda serviced me and I believe she is a newer nail technician. She took her time and my nails came out great. Only complaint I have is I wishes they used new nail files on my nails. I also wasn't familiar with the nail brand D&L. I picked the color 155P which is a bright orange which was beautiful. The prices were what I normally spend on my nails every month. About $75 including the callous removal.

If they didn't have time for me, they needed to have told me. To just wait around for nothing, it's not like I had all the time in the world. I felt as though this experience was so awful & unprofessional, that unfortunately I will not be returning.

I'm not a fan of all the employees as sometimes I noticed that they don't standardize the services. Some with give you a slight leg massage, some just completely skip over it.

When I first entered the location and explained what I needed, a lot of conversation was had between the nail techs that I could not understand.

For some reason, I tend to take issue when I am being discussed and I cannot understand what is being said. That might just be one of my personal hang ups.

But, the value overall is not there. When I walked in, the first woman who approached me told me she would be doing my toes and hands for both of my services. I barely got seated in the spa chair and a walk-in called and the nail tech then told me that she was going to pass me off to somebody else while she handled the walk-in. To be honest, you shouldn't tell me you're prioritizing another client over me, especially when that client isn't even present. The lady that she passed me off to do my toes was very friendly, and the pedicure itself wasn't bad but the paint job wasn't great. I honestly couldn't tell until I got home just how untidy my toe paint was. Even when we started the appointment, she slightly burned my skin while removing my old gel polish from my toes. Therefore, my toe stung through my entire appointment. When it was time to finish my manicure/gel ex set on my hands, I had to repeat myself three times to tell them I wanted French tip. And when you tell nail technicians that you want a short nail, somehow that is really hard to comprehend. I also blame this on the fact that this is now the third nail technician I'm dealing with so it just felt like everything got lost in translation and I really feel like three people totaled my nails and there's no cohesiveness to the final look. My nails aren't terrible and they will do and I'm not a picky person at all. But I am hesitant to come back. I think that there is great potential here and I still think it's a good salon, but maybe just not the one for me.
