Once again, Merry Nails & Spa killed it!!! This was my second time here to get a mani/pedi and the nail techs are great. They are very friendly and make great color/design recommendations if you're as indecisive as me. Both techs i've had have payed good attention to detail and always ensured that I was comfortable. Special shout out to Nina for being so great! read more

Merry nails and spa help my nails look better than before! My nails looked so good and loved the natural pink color

Made an appointment, there was only one other customer but I was made to wait 30 minutes?? I can tell that the technician was inexperienced because I told him what shape I wanted and had to show a photo. Even after that, somehow all of my nails ended up in different shapes. Even different sizes too because they were not measured/compared. I don't know what's up with the 50/20% signs up outside, but it was $41 for a gel full set. Right after I got these, I went to another shop around the corner and spent another $60 having them take them off and re-do them as they were not fixable. read more

Ok I'm not too happy with this. It's only been 1 week later. The nail tech Tina was an absolute doll but the quality of the work isn't the best. They're already chipping, which baffles me. Oh and my cuticles look a hot mess. read more

I made an appt at 5:30 came in a bit early and they took me at my appt time. I asked for a completely new set, which meant i had to soak my old acrylics off. That took maybe an hour-ish so they didnt get started until maybe 7ish. I was thinking about leaving honestly just because i was going to be here forever and I had just gotten off of work... but I stayed anyway. I dont remember her name but the nail tech was sweet to me. She took her time on my nails. She also called me pretty lol. I did a gel full set with a beautiful light pink color. Im glad i stayed she did a wonderful job! It was 50 all together. I didnt think that was bad. I left at closing time. The place is well taken care off. read more

This is a relatively new nail salon in the area and is tucked away in a busy strip by the giant grocery store. The space is huge with plenty of pedicure stations and a few mani stations. It's very clean and the staff is friendly and polite, and will do a very thorough job on your services. I came in late on a Sunday night and the ladies were kind enough to stay later than their usual close time to finish my pedi and didn't rush through it at all. The prices are very reasonable and pretty much the same as most nail salons in the area. My only gripe with the place would be that it's a little too big and sparce making it rather chilly to sit there while we wait for our services and there are very limited options of nail polish colors other than that this is could be your new go to nail salon. read more

Not the best customer service to start off. I had to repeat myself a few times for how I wanted my nails. I wanted them a medium length and she cut the acrylic nail to short at first. I picked out a darker color and she pointed to a light green color and said ' get younger color' . I told her I like dark colors especially for Halloween. I only had my nails on for a week and 2 nails already broke. I always get acrylic nails and I know they don't break that easily. Would not recommend this place, they are not friendly or welcoming either. Wish I could get my money back for this horrible nail job. read more

Alright, I came here on 7/11/17 to get a new gel manicure. I decided to give this place a chance since it was closer to home then where I normally go. It wasn't the worst nail place I have been, but it definitely wasn't the best. The Positive: Kathy, who did my nails was by far the nicest manicurist I have ever had. The facility was also VERY clean which I really appreciate. They also offer a huge selection of gel colors which I like. The Negative: I told Kathy to cut my nails because I like them on the shorter side...She cut them down to child like nubs. You know that feeling you get on your finger tips when you break a nail off and you can feel all of the bare fresh skin? Ya, that's how my fingers/nails feel right now. On top of that she really did a crappy job at cleaning up my cuticles. When I got home and really looked at the work she did I was super disappointed. She didn't get rid of hangnails or anything. On top of that she didn't paint my full nail which drives me insane. It looks like the nail polish has already been on for a week and my nails have grown some because she missed so much space. She also spent almost my whole manicure on the phone dealing with some personal issues. The fact that she was on the phone didn't bother me that much, but it definitely caused her to not do as good of a job. If you want a REALLY good experience for the same price go to Acuspa in Potomac. Everyone there is AMAZING and they all pay so much attention to detail. They also always have 20% off Monday-Wednesday. Each manicure includes a nice shoulder massage as well. I never have to correct anyone at Acuspa and I never leave disappointed. I feel like a princess when I leave and for as much money it costs to get your nails/toes done you should feel like a damn princess when you walk out! http://www.acuspamd.com/ read more

Had a regular manicure-pedicure yesterday with Sandra , this is my second time with Sandra , and omg she is so good and gently and sweet, definitely going back to Sandra , she did a great job . read more

First time I went there to get gel manicure, nail polish came out with in a week. It was not even applied evenly. So when I went into show it to the manager she gave me a $10 discount and got Michelle to reapply . Omg! It was a bad experience. She was very rough and while taking off the nail polish she hurt me a number of times and not once did she apologize. She applied the Nail polish leaving the area all around the nails and I had to go back to the store again to get it fixed . Some of the nail polish was Smudged. Again no apologies but had an attitude while doing it. Never will I go again. I have no idea how people are raving about this place. Good for them that they had a good experience. read more

These ladies are always so attentive and take their time! The place is new and everything is very clean. I convinced my mother to go with me to get acrylics and she's extremely picky about who does her nails and she had nothing to say but great things. Her nails looked fantastic and when she went back home to California, she said she had tons of people asking where she got them done since the polish stayed shiny and the shape was great. I got acrylics for the first time in my life here and they held up for about 3 weeks before I decided it was time to take them off. Pics below. If you're debating coming here, definitely try it out! Also I came back about 2 weeks after I had got them done to get them shortened and they filed them down and applied another layer of polish for FREE! They really care about their customers. read more

Merry Nails & Spa - 1 week . Still looks GREAT! I recommend this place to all my friends . You can truly go there to relax. I been over there about 5 times now - Nail Salons Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I went to Merry Nails this past Saturday as a walk-in and was pleasantly surprised that a tech was available. Had a standard mani-pedi and found it to an enjoyable experience. Will be going back in a couple of weeks I only gave 4 stars because the space is so expansive that I didn't get the serene experience I hoped for. On the other hand, people aren't sardined in either. read more

I have been here I think 4 times now. Every time has been at least "just fine" with some experiences better than others--in my opinion the pedicure is the best offering! I'd say simple is best here - I haven't loved my acrylics' shapes that I've gotten here for a example. but when I've gotten just a gel mani on my natural nails it came out great. But my pedicure was really awesome. I got the regular pedicure but it felt like a lot more pampering than your typical pedi; I felt so relaxed after the hot towel especially! My toenails look great and it was only $27. Service is always attentive albeit sometimes slow. Overall i think merry nails is a solid middle ground salon with reasonable prices, and a fabulous pedicure. read more

I'm not one to write reviews but I need everyone to come by and give this place a chance! I had to stop by after a saw a sign of 20% off all services, you can't miss up a good deal. Kathy was the one that did my nails and they look great. She kept making sure I was satisfy with my nails the whole way. I'll definitely be back to get my nails done! read more

The place is the best I've found in this county! One lady, I didn't get her name took my neglected nails from a hot mess to the best they've been, seriously flawless. She shaped and buffed my nails to smooth perfection and had my cuticles looking like I hardly use my hands. I'm very active and tough on my hands, a normal manicure lasts an average of 3 days before I chip but a manicure here gives me a few more days. When I get gel this is only place I go. read more

Horrible horrible and then some. Very very rude owner.!!!' The staff speaks so loud to each other in Vietnamese and done speak to clients at all. My husband had a manicure and when he got to the desk, they added 5 dollars more to bill for buffing his nails!!!!!!! 20 dollars for men's manicure in this place is a total joke. Buffing is part of a manicure!!! The rudeness and loud talking is so unprofessional !!!! Don't spend your money read more

Kathy is amazing!! I'm one of the pickiest people when it comes to my nails but every time I've come in, I've left completely happy and satisfied. I will continue going back and recommend you give them a try read more

I have tried so many times. I'm done. I got a pedi and gel mani a few months ago. It cost me 80 bucks. It was the worst pedi I have ever received. I asked for hot water. She ignored me. I asked for hotter water and she stared. I asked fir a 3rd time and she turned the temp up to slightly above lukewarm. They use a cheese grater and there was still dead skin visible. I asked her to file some more. She was so light handed I gave up, and used my pumice at home. I got the spa pedi with a massage. I did actually get a sugar scrub, and hot towel but not even close to a massage. This last time...decided to get a full set. I guess she used tips that are too wide for my nail beds. The acrylic is so thick. I am annoyed looking at them. If any one knows a better place in Montgomery Co. Let me know. read more

Very. The people there are very nice and sweet I have been there the past few times and I have been very satisfied with all of the outcomes from it. I 100% recommend Mary's Nail and Spa. Nice work! read more

I had a lovely pedicure with Cathy. She was very efficient as well as I felt I got perfect care. The place was super clean and due to Covid everyone wore masks and took all safety precautions. I am in a risk group so I sought out a place w lots of high ceilings and social distancing I was one of two people in the salon. I will come back again asking for Cathy. Everything went speedily. read more

I hesitated to try a new salon but am sorry I waited so long. I've been twice for basic mani/pedi and haven't been disappointed. Both visits I was luck enough to get Emily as my technician. Her leg and feet messages have me tipping extra$$. Don't hesitate to check Merry Nails out soon. Super clean, friendly and the message chairs are all high end read more

I found this place during the pandemic. Very clean and neat. You must sanitize when you enter the establishment.

I was in major need of getting my nails done and my eyebrows needed to be rescued! I went into Merrys Nails, because it was close to my job and also because they were new and wanted to try them out! First of the place is nice big and clean, even the chairs are comfortable. I was greeted by Kathy and she's the one that took care of me! She was wonderful! I'm very picky with my nails even to the shape and she did everything I asked! She pays attention to detail and takes her time and you can tell she's a perfectionist! And was very gentle! After she did my eyebrows and boy did I need them done, I mean they were awful and she made me feel better that she would fix and clean them up for me. She even shaped them out the way they should have been and cleaned them up real nice! The pricing was great and they still have their 20% off going on! I do recommend this place and def ask for Kathy! I am definitely coming back to see her! So happy with my nails and eyebrows!! read more

I have been going here for about 2 months. I usually go to Tom, who is great! However, recently I went to a different nail tech because I was leaving for vacation and Tom wasn't working that day. I am so disappointed in my experience. The nail tech was distracted by another patron most of the time, filing my nails but not even looking at them. At one point, I had to pull my foot away as she was very rough with my cuticles. After she painted my toe nails, we walked over to do the gel manicure. I looked down and there was so much polish on the skin around my toe nails. She had to use the brush and polish remover for every toe. Keep in mind, had I not pointed it out, she would have left it like that. 3 days after I got my manicure and pedicure, my toe nail polish was already chipping. After 4, my gel nail polish was chipping. Since I was on vacation, I could not go in to get it fixed. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience for me. read more

They do a AWESOME job. Mind you I am very picky with who does my nails and eyebrows and toes, I left my other nail place to start going here instead. They take their time and do GREAT massages and are very helpful and caring about their clients. read more

When I first started coming to Merry Nails I had nails chewed down. They educated me on the dip nails to strengthen and grow my nails. The technician Amy told me a few times and my nails will be strong and long. I've been coming here now for 5 months I now have long natural nails no more fake acrylic painful nails. Don't get me wrong I use to love getting acrylic done but my nails were very damaged and my fingers were paining me from having them done so often. Now I have no pain and my nails are healthy and the service is of much better quality. I also love the peaceful atmosphere and the cleanliness of the shop. Amy is also a wonderful technician and the prices are reasonable. If your in the area I highly recommend them. read more

I just found this salon and decided to go in based on the ratings, and I'm glad I did! I got a spa pedicure and my first-ever set of acrylics. Tom did a thorough, beautiful job for both and has a really light touch. The acrylics with gel polish looked much more natural than I had hoped, and the prices were lower than other salons I've been to that did a robotic, rushed job. I will definitely be back and bring my friends next time! read more

Did an excellent job on my pedicure, a lot of attention to detail and I felt very pampered. Staff was great, offered me a drink while I got my pedicure.
