I understand why Nails by District is one of the most highly rated salons in the city…read more After a recent unfortunate experience at another salon that left my natural nails damaged, I was reluctant to try again. I decided to give this spot a shot after reading the reviews, and I'm glad I did. The service was well done and never felt rushed. Most importantly, I was treated with kindness and respect. I didn't have to advocate for myself once--my tech was attentive to my needs and respectful throughout the appointment. I was completely relaxed and left with nails I love. I'll definitely be back and look forward to my next appointment!

That in itself was enough for me to never return here. I do not support poor customer service and while my original nail tech was cool, the person supporting her was not.

My man and I visited for a pedicure, and it was nice that they seated us together. Back home in California, I have a specific technician who does my pedicures--she's not afraid to dig in and tackle ingrown nails. The person I had while visiting had a gentler approach, despite my request to dig. It was clear she wasn't very experienced, though she was sweet as pie. On the plus side, she did an outstanding job with polishing my toes.

I went on a Sunday morning and found the front desk a bit frantic despite there being 3 people working there. One pedicure tech finally sat me (for my appointment) but the foot bath wasn't functioning. Amber was my tech and moved me to another chair. While she was pleasant I thought the charge of $120 for a gel manicure and pedicure was too much given the lack luster environment. However, what cemented for me this place is horrible is that within 2 days the gel manicure chipped! First it was 2 nails. Now, 4 days later 3. I called and they wanted me to come back there to have them fixed. I said I would never return and they gave me some money back as I insisted. But the continued deterioration of the service after just days is clear this isn't good good nail spa. I don't recommend it and I wouldn't return.

I have had the GelX and the builder gel, and my toes done. Cindy did my builder gel and I tell you i even got compliments on face time. lol. I absolutely love them because they look so natural and they are my natural nails! My nails are so thin and when she removed my GelX she was very gentle with the drilling and filing and was very patient and quick. 10/10! Cindy also gave me a small hand massage and put lotion on me after service. My only issue was with my pedicure when he rushed a bit and didn't remove all of my previous gel polish and that big toe is already slightly larger than my left so it's something I've noticed but others haven't. When I go back for a color change I'll make sure all the gel is removed and the toe nails are even. Service was still a 10/10 and he asked me multiple times if I liked it and I said yes! It's not that noticeable until you're like me and like to look at your feet in heels and sandals. Oh and they take walk ins, last minute appointments and try to have you sit with your party. Also wine and beverages were offered. I highly recommend them!

I had to go back the next day but I realized there was still one nail where the top coat didn't cover all of the nail. That meant the sticker was jutting out a bit and irritating my skin. The nail artist is pretty decent with simple art and with most sticker application. I had wanted it all to be nail art and for them to tell me they couldn't do 3D nails. There is at least one sticker on each nail. Also I had to coax her to not give up but she was insistent on simply stickering every nail to make it go faster. The pedi was alright and pretty painless. The nail artist just missed a spot of paint and accidentally got a dot of red paint on the right big toe. I think about 2.5 hours was spent in total during the first visit and less than 10 minutes fixing the issues with the nails in the next visit.
