    Nails by Khoi
    Olivia B.

    First time trying this nail salon and I'll be back. Clean and friendly atmosphere! I got a fill in by Khoi and a pedicure (not sure of the lady's name) and they both showed great attention to detail. I only gave it 4 stars since I had to wait over 15 min even though I had an appointment (I went on a Wednesday). But that happens at beauty salons so no biggie. Other than that, great, relaxing experience.

    The nail shop!

    I love Paula and Khoi downnnnnn! They deserve more than 5 They really take good care of their clients and will not let you leave unsatisfied. 10/10 definitely RECOMMEND!

    I do not recommend la lu'a NAIL & SPA business. I've come here several times over the last 6 years. I do not come consistently because they are an out of the way location (25 miles away from Home)and ridiculously expensive. However after my last experience on 07/09/25 with a gel polish service I would not recommend anyone to spend money here. My gel polish was $20 just for gel polish not even for a manicure. Just for gel polish ! I also got a pedicure and toes polished with regular polish. Unfortunately the gel polish started lifting, chipping and peeling less than 24 hours later. Got my nails done on 7/2/25 at 2pm and my left middle finger nail polish layer was lifting from my natural nail by 07/03/25. The quality of the polish they use is absolutely cheap. I went on vacation 07/03/25 so I could not get back to the states until 7/09/25 to return to La la'u to get the issue addressed. Well when I went back 07/09 to ask them to fix the issue they tried to say my tech was on vacation and I would have to wait until she returned on Saturday 3 days later on 07/11. The staff a coco skinned lady in chair ()and the lady in chair ()told me that I was suppose to come back by the 2nd or 3rd day to tell them. Sorry but I'm not coming back early from vacation for lifting gel polish. They tried to make me pay for a nail polish change. Which I do not feel is the issue. The issue is the product. The nail techs that I spoke to were cutting me off while I was trying to tell them the issue, not friendly at all and did not want to allow me to speak. They were very short with me. DO NOT GET SERVICES HERE. When I asked for the manger they told me they did not have one. Which maybe true. The lady in chair () told me to come back in 1 hour 3:45pm So I'm gonna sit this here with the patrons. I will wait for the staff to fix the issue hopefully by 07/09/25 and in the meantime I will give potential patrons and current patrons an update to let you know how this was resolved. I feel like if I paid $20 to get my nails polish with gel products then it should last more than 24 hours. I work way too hard for my money to be treated as they did and to be provided poor products and terrible service. Shame on you La Lu'a NAILS & SPA Location 11921GEORGIA AVE.

    Khoi is the best... He has been doing my nails for over 10 years... He has always been so professional and dependable... My nails are always so pretty and always done perfectly... Vivian always does my pedicures so precise and beautiful... All the staff is amazing... I highly recommend... If I could give 10 stars I would...

    My nails are a 10/10! Khoi and Lee did my manicure and pedicure. Outstanding job with the best designs in the DMV. My Thanksgiving nails exceeded my expectations! I drove an hour just to visit. Be sure to visit the best that the DMV has to offer, I've been coming here for over 10 years and still keep coming back.

    Acrylic square nails with airbrush and 3D lines.

    I absolutely love coming here to get my nails and feet done. Koi Is incredible and he can make any of my design ideas come to life. All the technicians here are really talented and their customer service is always great too. Highly recommend, always!

    Khoi is amazing, I have been going to him for over 10 years. His professionalism customer service is outstanding and continue to soar each year. Best salon in silver spring. I recommend him and his staff 100%. Not to mention their spa pedicures are awesome . Paula, Vivian or Lee are amazing pedicures techs. Love!

    The manicure in this optic is four weeks old!

    I have been coming to La Lu'a for the past 9 years. Koi has never failed to provide me with paragon service, nail designs that are up to par with the latest trends, and customer service that is frankly a paucity in this day and age. I enjoy the therapeutic moments spent there and love my long-lasting manicure! Check him out!

    My nails always come out perfect and they last a MINIMUM of 3 weeks! They're always so accommodating!

    Don't let him do your nails, he's rude AF - I see why he's never working on anyone when I'm there

    This place was cool till it wasn't. If you do decide to go here don't let this guy do your nails. He is despicable. I called in and let them know I was running late and asked if it was okay to still come - if so I could've went to another salon. This guy said no problem, you can still come. I got here and he starts my nails immediately and I noticed he was rushing a bit but I figured he knows what he's doing, it's okay. He COMPLETELY loses his patience when it came to finding the right color (which was due to him again trying to rush vs understanding what I was asking for), then ends up telling me he can't do my nails anymore and to come back tmrw. I wasted my time and he took off my tips with the quickness. It took everything inside of me not to go off cause I already had a long day. If you respect yourself, don't let this rude guy do your nails.

    I'm giving 2 stars because I appreciate that they took me without an appointment on a Saturday morning and that they only charged $5 for a gel polich removal. The first woman who was assigned to help me was kind and competent. However, after she wrapped my nails in the foil, she was reassigned to a new client by somone who seemed to be the boss. Despite the first woman telling me that it was a slow morning, and despite her telling the second woman that my nails needed to soak longer, the second woman immediately took off the foil anyway. She started scratching at my nails with a file and now my nails have scratch marks on them. She got most but not all of the polish off and then told me to go wash my hands. At the sink station, there was a sticky pole device that was absolutely covered in flies and gnats. I also saw 2 ants crawling around the sink. The first woman's station had been clean, but the second woman's station had two open spilled drinks next to it. The drinks were removed when I sat there but the spills remained next to my arm as she worked. In sum: convenient, amazing price, quality really depends on technician (and it may change halfway through), and not as clean as most salons I've visited.

    Salon looks really nice and clean!

    Khoi is the best! I have been to him for four years, and he never disappoints. My nails are always shaped very well, the designs are on point, and he works by appointment. this is a picture of my nails after one month - no lifting and still looks good. The salon is located, spacious, space plenty of parking, and clean. They even gave everyone Christmas presentsHighly recommended! Khoi is the best!

    Clearly they are open. Maybe just deterring black customers based on bias.

    If I could give this place zero stars I would. It's disgusting in the salon, the materials don't come out of the sterilized bags and the customer service is terrible. A guest arrived at 7:15pm and the sign says they close at 8pm. They turned the guest away because they're "closed" and all she wanted was a polish change. Eventually these salons need to learn guests won't tolerate their poor customer service.

    Does Lalu'a do builder gel extensions and fills?

    Are you still taking walk-ins?

    They are currently taking walk-ins but I highly do not recommend this as the wait can be hours on a busy day. If it's a slower day, you may be able to get away with this. Hope this helps!

    I'm thinking about getting ombré with gems on the index and ring fingers shape coffin and length long how much would it be?

    Usually if it's a custom set, it's $75. So that would be the price on the set you're looking for

    How much for a gel pedicure?

    Hi Laura! A gel pedicure is about $40-$50 depending on what kind of pedicure you get.

    Hi there! Do you offer Dip Powder manicures?

    Yes

    Who is good with Gel Fill? I need to get it done for my bday. I have oily based nail beds, I need to find someone knows how to do them correctly. Thank you.

    Sorry can't answer I do acrylics

    I would like to know if you do the Cat Eye Nail design here and if so how much does it cost to get?

    Yes. The price varies for a fill (depending on nail length) For example: a fill for med. length nails begins at $20 plus $15 for gel, and another $15 for the specialty cat eye… Read more

    How much for a basic pedicure?

    $20

    How far in advance should an appointment be made?

    I have never made an appointment. I just walk in and am accommodated. Haven't had any issues yet.

    Looking to get natural nails done with Christmas designs (snowflakes) I have yet to find a salon where the techs have this expertise. Do the techs here do nail art (good nail art)?

    Absolutely! Khoi is the absolute best but call ahead for an appt

Personally, I've noticed that my skin tone is much more even and brighter than it used to be. From the very beginning, Sharnika has been wonderful to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about skincare. She really takes the time to understand your skin and explain what's going on with it. Through working with her, I've gained a much better understanding of my skin type and the kinds of ingredients that actually work for me. I actually started seeing her when she was at her first location, and it's been so nice watching her grow. Her new space is beautiful and feels like a real step up. I originally went to her purely for the skincare results, which I've been very happy with, but the new location adds such a nice experience to the visit. It's cozy, welcoming, and she even offers tea while you wait, which is a really thoughtful touch. It's clear that Sharnika is elevating her business, and I'm genuinely excited to see how she continues to grow. I'm so glad I found her and plan to keep working with her. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in helping you reach your skincare goals, I can't recommend her enough. Definitely give her a call.

There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.
