    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!

    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 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.

    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!!

    See all

    I love this place. Lee is so awesome. Lee makes you feel like family. I don't choose designs I let her freestyle and it comes out pretty.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE VERY BAD SERVICE!!!!…read more I am deeply disappointed with my experience at this salon and feel compelled to share it so others are aware. On Saturday, November 8th at 5:40 PM, I visited for a nail service costing $110. From the very beginning, I felt rushed and dismissed. When I politely requested a matte finish on my nails, the technician refused, saying, "No, the color it is, is better." This was unprofessional and dismissive of my preferences as a paying customer. The service itself felt hurried and careless. By the following morning, my nails were already chipped--clearly reflecting poor workmanship. I returned expecting a simple correction at no extra cost, as the issue was the result of their inadequate service. Instead, I was charged an additional $55. Beyond the service quality, the behavior of the staff was unacceptable. The technician rolled her eyes repeatedly, handled my hands aggressively, and made me feel uncomfortable. When I reported this to the store manager, she raised her voice and told me, "Then go somewhere else!" This hostility toward a returning customer is entirely unprofessional. I spent additional time returning to the salon only to be met with rudeness and an unjustified charge. I am requesting a full refund of the $165 I was charged ($110 for the first visit, $55 for the second). I hope this review prompts the salon to improve both their service quality and their treatment of customers. No one should feel rushed, dismissed, or financially penalized for the salon's own mistakes.

    This is the nail salon I always go to. I usually get a gel mani and pedi here. It's very clean and…read morethey have many color options and styles they can do, including nail art (as long as you tell them beforehand). They also serve small snacks and drinks. For anyone looking for a solid place, this is a great option.

    Overall: not a terrible experience, but I am not sure if I would return. The staff is friendly, and…read moreI made an appointment online and got seated right away. That's always a plus! 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.
