Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sunny for taking such great care of my nails. The ambiance was great and the salon offered water, champagne, and mimosas while you wait. Can't wait to return. read more

Update - my gel pedicure is lifting. Literally never had a gel pedicure lift or chip so I'm definitely dissatisfied with this place.

don't get a pedicure. water is too cold. service is bad. tools are dirty. not very social. not too clean of an environment. music is good although. it smells slightly like smoke within the building. read more

Over hyped and overpriced now. The first time I came here was wonderful. Had a great pedicure and gelx nail service. This time around was a bit different. This time was a gel manicure and a deluxe gel pedicure. What's crazy is their regular pedicure seemed nicer than their deluxe pedicure. It could've just been a difference in nail techs. Be prepared to pay $100+ for a gel mani and pedi. read more

I have been coming to Sunny religiously for over 2 years now. Their name just changed yet they are still delivering the best services around. They truly care about their clients! I get Gel-X which is also rare in DC. Call ahead to book with Sunny or a tech she recommends. You can also go for the classic dip / gel / acrylic and have a great experience! read more

I got a SNS dip powder French manicure that cost $60. When my nail technician tried to open a nail polish bottle it broke and glass got everywhere. Also my nail technician left a white streak of polish on my nail bed for my French manicure that she didn't clean up. She also used a thick nail file and slightly nipped/cut the tips of my fingers twice and she didn't switch to a smaller nail file till I said "ouch" twice. Not sure if I'll come back. The nail salon was also a bit dirty/messy as a whole. My friend likes this nail salon though but I think it's probably a hit or miss spot. read more

M54 Nails - Sns dip powder French manicure (my pointer finger had white streaks of polish leftover) - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been coming to this salon for a few months and I'm so glad I did. I was skeptical about the dip powder movement but it's honestly been the best thing for my nails, coming here consistently at least. I've been here on several occasions and I'm always treated well. It's a bit of a wait but it's a popular salon in a high volume location. The nicest thing since I've been coming here is a tech handed me a stylus to text on my phone while getting my nails done. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. The staff is very helpful to make sure you don't mess up for nails. Highly recommend. read more

I was in need of some serious self care and had heard about this salon that offers mimosas while you get serviced. I'm fairly new to the area, and hadn't been totally pleased with service at another salon close to where I live, so decided to try here. After browsing the comments, I read to request Queenie, which I did, and was able to get an appointment the same day. Queenie absolutely exceeded my expectations! She was not only talented, but absolutely sweet and provided great customer service. She was able to take the picture I showed her and do even better! I've found my new nail salon! read more

M54 Nails - SNS Dip nails with free hand nail art - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Have to lower again after my last two experiences. Quality/service here is just unreliable and inconsistent. This is the closest Mimosa location to my office, so I've gone twice after work in the past ~2 months. The first visit, I just got a basic gel mani, which started chipping 3 days later. Utter nonsense. The second visit, I got acrylics and asked for a black/french ombré nail - the artist didn't know how to do it, so she said they "didn't have the materials" (I've gotten ombré done before here so that was a lie.) Then I showed her a different photo of black nails with a sheer-ish chrome over them... she said she couldn't do that either. So I just settled for matte black nails, which are incredibly boring for the $95 I paid for them after tip. Note to self to avoid this location going forward. read more

DO NOT GO!!! October 1, I had an appointment for a pedicure and full set of nails. The requirement I had was to use 3 colors for a design. The pregnant lady that did my nails couldn't figure out how to do any design but their profile shows a mirage of art designs they presumably do. How ironic my wishes couldn't happen. She did my nails the first time and I drove back for her to fix. The second time my nails were supposed to be emery green and turned out black. Today, October 3 my nails look EXTRA HORRIBLE!!! I failed to mention that I paid $200 total for some raggedy nails...pedicure was great but nails was HORRIBLE. Don't go! Waste of time and money. read more

I had a wonderful pedicure and get full set by Danh (name on Cashapp). I showed him a photo and be executed it well! I was extremely satisfied. The shaping was wonderful. No complaints. I wish he was available to do my fill in because it is mediocre at best. Steve (name in his tool kit) gave me a fill in and fixed a broken nail . To get off the remaining acrylic he used some small pliers and a plastic nail tip. I had to snatch my hand back more than once because his method of removing the nail hurt! It was very janky. He filled in my nails, barely shaped them, and did a hacked job on my cuticles. He even cut me (photo below) . During the polishing, my nail must have accidentally touched the UV lamp and he pointed it out to me and was very aggressive with his "you did that!" . Okay... are you going to fix it with a second damn coat or argue with me and waste both of our time!? At one point, woman asked for a design and they stated only one person in the salon does designs. Idk why I keep trying different mimosa salons thinking it's not going to be mediocre. I will only turn off it's the last result . Smh Cleanliness: I didn't see them open any sterilized packets at the nail stations. They used nail files and put them back behind the desk as if it was business as usual. So that is important to note. DC definitely disappoints when it comes to nails. I see all of these lovely designs and perfect shaped nails only to find out it's in another state. The salons here are stuck in the past and not interested in learning nail art or how to perfect shapes. The prices increased and the same tired skills stayed the same. .:sigh:. read more

This review is about customer service. I had an appointment at 5:30pm today. Before going, I realized i forgot the gift card and $10 vouchers they push you to by, at home. I contacted them and let them know I did not have the vouchers or gift card with me (so that I could reschedule for a day when I had them and NOT leave work early). They told me to "come in anyway and they will find". I left work early and walked about 6+ blocks in the cold. When I got there, they told me that I needed the physical gift card. When I asked why they didn't tell me this and told me to come in, they said "well you can call someone and get the card number". If that was an option, I would have expressed that. I asked again why they did not tell me this before coming - and the response was that "they were going to tell me when I got there". How could that possible save me time??? The They would not take me. I bought the gift card under my name and credit card, so would have been easy to find. Lessons learned: Do not buy those gift cards they are pushing. And as soon as they have your money in advance, you cease to be an important customer to them. No wonder they are mostly empty read more

I do not recommend this salon. I went to get SNS and a pedicure and had issues with both. I paid extra to get the pedicure with exfoliation but the tech hardly exfoliated my feet and rushed through the job. My biggest issue with my experience here was the SNS. The tech rushed through the service and cut my cuticles with the filing machine twice. The next day, while doing something very insignificant I heard a crack and was super annoyed to find that two of my nails had cracked down the middle. By the end of that day my thumb nail had broken off. Within the next 3 days, a total of 6 nails were cracked, including my thumb and another nail which Had broken off. Very disappointed in the quality of services I received here despite having spent nearly $100. I've been going to salons for years and must say this is one of the poorest experiences I've had. read more

Used to come here all the time last year but they've changed their nail techs and I'm extremely disappointed. Asked them to do a gel french manicure and my nail tech couldn't do it evenly or cleanly. She kept getting her hair in the wet polish so I asked her to do just white gel. It ended up taking 2 hours and I left with paint underneath my nails and an extremely uneven, bumpy coat. So sad that I can no longer go to this salon :( read more

My first visit was on my wedding day in 2016, yes my dang wedding day because I chipped some nails opening boxes the day before. I arrived as soon as they opened on Sunday; only one nail tech was working with a couple looking at me like I just ruined their private party. He asked if he could help me but they weren't having it so he worked back and forth, put them in two pedicure chairs with Mimosas, & worked on 3 customers with speed and kindness. I wish I could remember his name and express how thankful I was... 4/20/18 visit @6:30- The shop was packed but they still serviced me within 10 mins. Everyone wants to look good and pamper themselves while enjoying happy hour prices and drinks. Unfortunately for me, I missed the happy hour deal and didn't specify what kind of full-set I wanted so they defaulted to gel nails and I was charged $60 for French tips. On the flip side, my nail tech was efficient, detailed, accurate and produced a beautiful French full-set that should last two weeks. Stay tuned. read more

Looked for a salon near work, this place is a block away and I was able to be seen quickly at the beginning of lunch rush. Got a dip powder manicure and was seen by Queenie. Very happy with her work and I knew from other reviews that she does great work. Will be going back for other various services in the next week or so, like pedicure, massage, etc. if I wasn't doing this during lunch time at work, I'd probably go for the sweet mimosa package, which is an hour massage, hour facial, and a spa manicure and pedicure. Highly recommend. read more

Came here to get a fill in for me and a manicure for my friend. My friend's experience was great, mine not so much. My nail tech was an older Asian man and he had a serious attitude the entire time that he worked on my hands. He shaped my nails horribly. The 2 stars is for my friend's good experience and the basically unlimited mimosas. If you are looking for talented nail technicians who can shape nails well I would not come here. read more

I never get my nails done before traveling to DC, because it's a MUST that I stop by the Mimosa Salon. The interior is less elegant than I anticipated, but it's always cozy and the staff is really sweet. You're always asked if you want a drink, and they always offer reveals. It's a nice time to relax and unwind after a long flight. I love that they don't rush my services here and they always honor my appointment times. There are extensions cords at each pedicure station that allows you to charge your phone while still being on it. This location offers a variety of colors and nail polish types. They also perfected my nail shape, which made it easier to maintain by the technicians I visit back home. read more

Honestly, this place is just okay, and can be hit or miss depending on which nail tech you get. The paraffin pedicure is the best one here, and they typically do a good job with gel pedicure too. I've only ever gotten gel manicure done here, but I like french manicure, and only some of the nail techs are good at it.Waxing is pretty good. The salon is kind of junky with lots of unfinished paint/wall construction, and sometimes it just feels like it needs a deep clean. They offer you complimentary mimosas/champagne/wine, but it tastes pretty horrible/is cheap, so don't expect a great cocktail or anything like that. read more

In dire need of a pedicure, and with a few hours to kill after work before a meeting, I went searching and found this place on Yelp. It got a decent reviews, so I thought I would give it a shot. This place only opened on in December 2015, so is very clean and relatively new. Located next to Kaz's bistro on I Street, there's a yellow happy hour special sign. It advertises $25 gel manicures and $25 regular pedicures, which is normally priced at $30. Good deal, considering DC nails salons tend to be a bit pricier than the Virginia nail salon I normally frequent. I walked in, and there were about four technicians who were not with a customer. I was instructed to pick a color, and proceeded to a salon chair. The salon chairs are comfy!! The chairs are new looking massage chairs, and more adjustable than what I've usually seen (perfect for my 4'9 stature). The nail technician did a good job with the pedicure. She took her time cleaning my cuticles and and shaping the nails to my preference. To try my nails, the nail technician didn't sit me under a UV lamp, but rather allowed my nails to air dry. This isn't too bad, considering not it's probably healthier for me to not sit under UV rays. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a clean and well priced nail salon that provides good service! read more

Disney trip is coming up so wanted some Mickey Mouse ears drawn on my ring fingernail on both hands. I asked for a 'Bubble Bath' base by OPI for all the nails except the ring fingers - that I used a traditional white color by OPI. I also asked to make the nails matte (extra $5). I'll let the picture do the talking, let's just say I'll be changing the Mickey nails and won't be coming here to do them. I spent $32 for gel and then the extra $5 for matte top coat. She was going to charge me $5 for the Mickey design but saw that she screwed them up. read more

although I rave about and swear by the place in AdMo (apparently its a chain and they are owned by the same people) I would not come back to this particular location on I street. My esthetician was constantly coughing over my feet during the pedicure to the point that I felt her cough particles disseminate over my freshly cleaned toes and the polish she just had placed on it. It was quite disgusting and super unsanitary. If you're sick stay home - and please do not infect your customers. read more

Gel manicure: I went during my lunch break (in which I had less than an hour) and Steve did a great job on my gel manicure. He was friendly, patient and even buffed my nails (and didn't charge me) Regular pedicure: My big toe has been broken from flats for a few months now and Steve recommended putting a piece of acrylic on it to help it heal evenly. He was the first manicurist to mention this. He also let me take these flip flops (see in the pic) home because my flats had gotten soaked in the rain that day. Pick Steve if you ever need a mani or pedi, he's friendly, attentive and gives you great tips. I'll be coming back to next time to see him. read more

WARNING: DO NOT GO TO MIMOSA SALON I went to Mimosa Nail Salon for a routine gel manicure and left with an infection of the ring finger. The salon's dirty tools, specifically a cuticle cutter, caused this awful infection. When I go to a nail salon I trust that they are cleaning their tools properly and not putting paying customers in danger of a serious infection. I had to pay for multiple antibiotics as well as a visit to urgent care to get my finger drained. When I went back to the salon they offered me a gift card for another manicure as if I would ever be returning to this salon again. NEVER go here unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars treating an infection from their dirty tools. read more

In the morning I called when they opened to see if we could walk in. I was told they have two technicians and were already booked for the morning. I understood and made an appointment for 2pm. I was in DC on vacation and planned my day around this appointment. I received a call 10 mins before my appointment as I was down the street from the salon asking me to postpone until 3:30 I explained how close I was and had made my plans for the day around this appointment. They had total disregard and said that maybe I should go find another location if I couldn't reschedule. I understand things can happen but calling me 10 minutes before my appointment and being rude is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. read more

Mimosa is a welcoming, fun, and clean environment-- and, as the name suggests, provides complimentary mimosas during your visit :) I scheduled an appointment for a gel removal and an SNS full matte black set + nail art with Queenie and was seen right on time. I couldn't recommend Queenie more! She is so attentive to detail, helpful with her suggestions, and invested in customers' experience. I came in with a photo of what I wanted, and we worked together to tailor the idea to my preferred nail shape and textures. She was incredible at executing exactly what I had in mind. This was the best nail salon experience I've ever had! read more

I'll be honest - from the outside, this place doesn't look like much. I actually walked in with pretty low expectations but I was in dire need of a mani so I decided to suck it up and walk in. Well, that turned out to be a great decision because I walked away with a flawless gel manicure. The manicurist did such an amazing job and she was so kind and friendly. I would go so far to say that it may have been the best manicure I've had in my life! read more

Great great great selection of nail colors! I chose a pretty purple for Thanksgiving. Was happy with the application.

Ill probably be back! Also was not offered a mimosa :( read more

If you want to get your nails done perfectly, I highly recommend Queenie. She pays very close attention to what she's doing and doesn't rush through things, which I greatly appreciate. My mom and I came for appointments and there was a small wait so be sure to make a reservation for yourself before you come in. Because the nails that I wanted were so intricate and detailed, they took a while but in the end it was soo worth it and I'm glad I chose to come to this salon. I'm excited to come back even though I got a full set yesterday! read more

I've been to Mimosa twice now and I have had great experiences. I've never made an appointment to get my nails done and I haven't had to wait to be serviced, even on a Friday! My first time at Mimosa was amazing. I got the Green Tea Luxury Pedicure (scrub & mask, paraffin, hot stone massage, heated neck wrap therapy, 5 min shoulder massage) and added gel polish which totaled to $105. Expensive? Yes, I know but this is downtown Washington, D.C., I expected nothing less. Let me tell you why it was worth the money: my nail tech took her time, I was there for nearly two and a half hours for my pedicure. I'm sure I drank an entire bottle of champagne, my tech never left my glass empty and every massage made me feel like I was in heaven. My feet were extremely soft and lasted for 6+ weeks. Two weeks ago, I got my nails done for my birthday. I initially came in wanting an ombre (white to nude) coffin shaped full set, but just went with nude and accent nail. The tech convinced me out of it and I'm sure it's that the additional cost wouldn't have been worth it because it wasn't a strong suit for her, which is fine. Overall, this is a salon with a spa type of feel, very relaxing but more for indulgence rather than your average full set. read more

This is the best Mimosa I have been to thus far. The location on Connecticut Avenue is always a spectacle. It's always a wait and super crowded. You feel rushed and like it's an assembly line. The location on R Street is okay but the customer service is not great. Also last time I was there, a roach was crawling up the wall. The location in Adams a Morgan closed so early. This location is amazing. It is super quiet and chill. You get to enjoy the service you are paying for. The staff are super nice and do a great job. I will be coming to this location going forward. read more

I typically go to Mimosa for eye brow waxing only. This was my first time trying a gel manicure at the $27 happy hour price. I was immediately greeted when I arrived and was assisted in picking out a color. A rush of people came in as my session started, and all the staff began chaotically rushing. The technician did not fully paint the corners of my nails and they were cut a bit uneven. The color turned out nice. The manicure took about 30 minutes, which was really quick from what I was use to -probably because of the rush. I'll go back for eye brows, but probably not nails unless I have to. The payment machine was down, so they had to swipe your card for you. They ask how much you want to add for a tip, which likely preasures people to tip more than the machine would typically suggest. Mediocre job read more

I'm giving this a 3 b/c the time the technician takes to make sure my nails are done. This is my third time at this location after not getting my nails done correctly at another location. I get SNS powder on my real nails. The customer service is absolutely terrible. Although they do a good job here it's not work the way customers are treated. This place charges more than the other locations and adds on fees w/o letting you know prior to make you spend more money. I'm disappointed in this place and lack of making me feel welcome when I've arrived and the overall service. The technician I have usually takes a smoke break in between your session and does not seem to want to be there. Not a friendly person at all. Two of my nails broke and the gel cracked within a week. Also, the take off process of gel is not done correctly. The technician was filing the gel off vs letting it soak. Filing damages the nail and makes them thin. I want to have strong long nails not brittle ones and the solution was to add a fake nail when I mentioned it. The SNS process was done correctly but the technician does not cut your cuticles prior to applying the powder or at all if you ask. Pro- time taken to complete work and location. Few steps from blue and orange metro station and short walk (1 block) from circular and city bus. Con- overall experience, customer service, and number of technicians able to do SNS service or make you feel welcomed read more

I have been going to mimosas for a few years now. It has always been on and off because the service is not always consistent. Sometimes they'll ask you what package you want sometimes no. One day you'll get a warm towel some days no. That is really my only complaint. *** did you know*** if you save all of your receipts from there once you have ten you can get 10% off of the total of the ten receipts!!! That makes me a fan. Also Monday through Wednesday the do 25$ for a mani and 25$ Pedis. Keep in my mind it's a great place to relax because like the name they do serve you wine or champagne during your time there which is great. I'll be visiting a bit more frequently to see if I will make that my number 1 nail spot. read more
