    Gel-X manicure

    I love LUNA: the staff is so friendly and skilled, and I love the laid back vibe in a neighborhood spot. Whether by myself or with friends, I always get excellent service. I've tried almost all other nails salons in a mile radius and finally decided to stop wasting my money at any other place-- LUNA or bust!

    I have been here two more times now and have to update...this is the second time the manicurist has terrorized my hands and cut the skin around my nails, which is horribly painful. She explained that my skin must be so much more sensitive than others' but...it seems to be a recurring theme here and I don't get cuts on my skin at other salons. I also waited 40 minutes to soak my nails the last time I was here, even with an appointment that I called for well in advance. Not to mention this specific nail tech charged me $75 for this manicure, which is much more expensive than other salons in the area and is $10 more than the other nail tech charged me for an arguably more complex manicure. With tip, this ends up being a $100 manicure, almost as much as I would pay for a dip manicure and a pedicure elsewhere. For much money I expect my nails to be pretty much perfect and I 100% expect the experience to be painless.

    Not that great. She should have used tape for straight and even lines.

    Overpriced. 150$ for a basic pedi and full-set. I wasnt too mad at that until. It was past closing, and they made me leave when my feet were still wet. I had to take a lyft home. So I basically just paid 200$ for C experience. Disappointing. I'm going to try the place down the block.

    Beautiful new chairs

    This is a great little nail spot that opened (or maybe reopened under new management) about a year ago. Although I'm often in this neighborhood, I didn't even realize this salon was here until I noticed the listing on Yelp. Since it was nearby and it stays open an hour later than another neighborhood nail salon I frequent, I decided to drop in. Lucky for me there was no wait, even as a walk-in on a Saturday evening. The pedicure chairs are comfortable and look to be brand new. The entire space is rather pristine, clean and peaceful. The nail technician that took care of me was accommodating, professional and kind. I thought she did a great job! The only thing is that I found to vary was their range of gel polish colors. Don't get me wrong, they still have plenty to choose from. But I struggled a little to find a range of nudes that were not soft pinks and for my nail design some limitation in colors. Also, I'm one week in and have two chips to my gel which isn't typically common for me. But overall, I'm glad I dropped in was please with both my mani and pedi.

    Another chipped polish nail the same day as the manicure
    Imani W.

    Just moved to DC 2 weeks ago and decided to give this place a try. I wanted a simple gel manicure. Minus one star bc It took the woman 45 mins to get the gel polish off of my nails. I especially did not like the technique she used to remove the polish. The tool hurt and barely scraped off the polish. It constantly hit my cuticle. She realized it wasn't really working and decided to file off the polish which generated a lot of heat on my nails and probably destroyed them a little on the process. Minus one star: the water she used in the bowl was barely Luke warm and I don't think she allowed me to keep them in the bowl long enough. She ended up cutting me and made me bleed a bit. I didn't notice until she got the alcohol and applied it to my cuticle. I never even received a sorry. Another issue was how my nails were shaped. I asked for my nails to be sharply squared and it looked squared but rounded on the ends. Another nail tech then told me she would be painting my nails. Before she painted I asked if she could square them how I wanted and she did thank goodness. Minus one star. wasn't even a full 24 hours before the polish had chipped. It literally took 5 hours for it to chip on one nail. I didn't even get my hands wet or hit anything. Fast forward 20 hours and a second finger is chipped. I will not be returning ever again. I take pride in my natural nails and they have never broken at such a short length. I am blaming it on how much my nails were filed to get the polish off. I also went into the salon with 4 week old polish that wasn't chipped. I expected the same quality polish. Please see pictures of my grown out nails desperately in need of a manicure and new polish and the after of what I received and how the polish is chipped.

    Gel with acrylic tips.

    I read the Reviews and decided to take a chance on them. The main reason why I gave them more than two stars is because they were accommodating with me bringing my own nail tips (I like a specific curve) and the shape of my nails. But I did not like how once they were done talking to me about certain thing pertaining to prices, they began speaking in their native language and it made me feel a little uncomfortable. Like they were price gouging, no offense to them speaking their native language but all of a sudden I was left to pay $70 for my nails. Also, upon arrival I was not asked if I'd like a beverage. But the person who came after me was accommodated and was offered a beverage of choice. I really don't know if I'll be back any time Soon. And it's sad because they do really great nails, but they lack in customer service towards people of color.

    Piña colada pedicure setup
    Surge C.

    LUNA is conveniently located near me and after having gone a year without a pedicure, I figured it was time to treat myself. The service was really great when I arrived and they were quick to get me checked in. However, that's were the positives of this establishment end. The nail technician cut the side of my toe while using a pumice stone on the bottom of my left foot. Immediately I flinched and she tried to pretend she did not cut me. It wasn't until I pointed out the blood and asked for a bandage that she finally acknowledged her mistake. I was upset she didn't even try to sanitize it and that I had to be the one to ask for a bandage. To top it off, she did a poor job with my pedicure and my polish was already chipped. All in all, a 2.5 and I do regret spending money here.

    Dip powder - bubble bath, Ring finger - some kind of paper/plastic design
    Chyna M.

    The nail salon that I wanted to go to was booked so I frantically searched (Yelp, yeah!!) for another. The reviews were decent so I decided to take a chance... I called and made an appointment with Rick for dip nails (new full set) and a pedicure. When I arrived at my appointment time, I was greeted by Rose. She was kind and told me to pick a color. (The colors are in the back of the salon.. that's new for me). I was a little put off because no one took my temperature or asked me to sanitizer (or even wash my hands. We still are being COVID conscious, right?!) I picked a color and found Rose who ended up doing my pedicure (though my appointment was with Rick whom I discovered through reading reviews). The plastic liner in the pedicure bowl was ripped in 2 spots so it didn't quite serve its purpose. The water she filled the bowl with seeped through into the bowl. I showed her and she told me not to worry... I'll skip the little details in between because this could be more lengthy then it is so far so: Cons (major): 1. I wasn't comfortable with the liner in the bowl being ripped because I was wondering if the bowl was clean from the previous customer, and I was also wondering if the same (ripped liner situation) had happened with someone else.. 2. The brush she used on my feet wasn't fresh from a sterile pack. In fact, it had some sort of black stuff caught in the top (I was mortified and noticed AFTER she was done using it on my feet- this didn't come pedicure). The brush must be the "pedicure" brush used on everyone because the bristles reflect needing a new one.. 3. I don't recall Rose cleaning the bowl behind me, which again makes me question the sanitation of the bowls, tools, and overall establishment. Side note, Rose offered me a drink but I politely declined because I wasn't comfortable drinking from a place that didn't seem all that clean.. 4. Parking is awful!! Pros: 1. Rose is kind and she did a great job on my pedicure. She took her time; there are no streaks in my polish (I can't stand that); she offered be a beverage (soda, water, red or white wine); she took her time and she didn't rush. 2. Rick's work is great. I ended up not needing a full set so I just got dip powder on majority of my real nails. Our language barrier was a little hassle (not being able to understand fully) but we worked it out. 3. Their dip collection is MASSIVE! So many colors to choose from and they even have designs. 4. Parking is FREE as of 5/18/21, just I wish I knew before paying. All in all... Not sure I'll be going back because of their lack of cleanliness for my standard but if I'm in a pinch like I was today, I just might.

    Acrylic pedi and full set
    Brandi B.

    Overall I had a pretty good experience I had a very long pedicure followed by a acrylic set.... I paid around $260 for the whole thing which wasn't bad to me it's about average for what I get. The only thing I wish they could manage time better because they took one girl before me and tried to take another one but I said some thing then the problem was resolved. I was patient with them but I couldn't see myself doing that again. I really enjoyed the pedicure my toes looked amazing I will post pictures!! Thank you

    I'm from Ca and so my expectations surrounding good nails is very high. This place were, by far, the best looking nails I have ever had. The gentleman who did them was incredible!! They literally are Pinterest nails.

    Messed up powder dip job only a few days old
    Erin B.

    This is the second time in a row that I have received bad powder dip from this place (most recently on 4/16). The mail technician put some sort of regular top coat on my nails instead of gel. She said it would be ok. SHE WAS VERY WRONG! Between spa pedicure, powder dip and eye brows, I spent $145 at that place. I will never go back and I highly recommend that no one go there. When I went back to the nail salon on Tuesday asking for them to fix it, they told me to come back on Friday! Not only poor quality work but also poor customer service. Spend your money someplace else.

    Ashleigh T.

    Unprofessional and extremely rude. I went to Luna nails and spa 4 weeks ago for a fill with Rose. She suggested that I soak off my acrylic nails and get a new set on my next visit. Which she was right, it had been awhile. So I made an appointment to return. I visited Luna nails and spa again on a Friday afternoon to get my nails soaked off. She urged me to cut the acrylic off (& my real nails) and start over, I was hesitant but she said it would look much better, I obliged. As Rose did my nails she was up and down, back and forth, and answering the phones. When she put the new tips on I told her some of them were crooked. Her response was I have to file, I am not done. Now I know better I should have stopped there I have been getting my nails done for over 20 years so I know when things are going to end bad. But I tried to let her finish as she continued adding the powder my nails were still crooked, I continued to point it out at least 3 more times. I then told her they were not even either in fact a few were far too short and the shape was not almond. In the end my nails looked terrible, the polish also had small bubbles and scapes on them when I got home. So I called Rose on Saturday. She said they were too busy and to try on Sunday. So I called Sunday she told me to come at 7pm, now I could have gone at 7pm but I had plans so I wasn't going to cancel them. I called back 2 more times. She told me on Thursday to come in. I drove across town in the rain. When I arrive she came to the front and immediately starts to speak very loudly and say 1 nail. The owner, Rick then joins her and he is yelling in a different language and giving hand gestures that say no while shaking his head. I say there is no need to yell. He then walks over and says "no nails beautiful" Rose defends him and says we will only fix one nail and you waited a week. I try to tell her I've been calling they weren't able to take me, so Rose raises her voice. I said to her if they weren't going to fix my nails in the way that I described on the phone she should not have let me drive there or agree to fix them in the first place. She then told me I can go somewhere else that will do my nails better. I will not return to this place, the customer service is terrible and the quality is less than sub par. I'll also add that she did a terrible job at polishing my nails. Save your time and money and patronize a business that will listen, be respectful, and make time to address any issues. $65 wasted but a lesson learned.

    Waited 20 minutes to start and was rushed once they started my nails by the young man who works there- I asked for a design for my acrylics but when the design went poorly and I told him that I didn't like it, he yelled at me saying that that was what I asked for. I ended up just having him paint the whole nail when I realized he was not capable of doing a design.... And the nails were awful. Bubbles in every nail, lumpy paint job, just... bad. And left my hands covered in dust that I had to clean off once I left.

I arrived early, at 9:24 a.m., ready for my appointment. A woman came out from the back and told me they couldn't take me today because they didn't have a front desk person. No one called, texted, or emailed to cancel or reschedule. When I asked why no one reached out, she looked at me and said, "Girl, bye." I responded, "Wow, that's unprofessional," and she slammed the door in my face. That level of behavior is completely unacceptable--especially for a business in a professional setting that relies on scheduled appointments. I took time out of my morning to show up on time, only to be disrespected and dismissed. Approximately ten minutes later, I received a call from the European Wax Center number. The person on the line said, "If you want, you can come back." I asked, "Are you the same person who just closed the door in my face?" and the caller immediately hung up the phone on me. This location is nowhere near as professional as the Capitol Hill branch, which is organized, courteous, and communicates clearly. If this is how the Navy Yard office operates, it's going to be a nightmare for clients. I highly recommend going to the Capitol Hill location until management addresses the unprofessionalism and lack of communication here.
