Best nail salon in the area. Very professional and thorough. Service is always top notch and their pedicures are excellent. Prices are fair and comparable. read more

I don't usually get my nails done, but I decided to treat myself since I'm going to a wedding. I didn't have an appointment, but they were able to accommodate me for a pedicure and acrylic nails. They were attentive and very friendly. Kim did my acrylic nails, gave me the design I wanted, and took her time. The cost is about the same as other nail salons in the area - pedicure $30 and acrylic nails with gel polish $50. I was happy with the services and will definitely return in the future. read more

Getting your nails done in the Dulles, Virginia is VERY expensive. The most expensive I have seen yet. Before I chose "Nail Design", I called various places to ask how much an acrylic fill with gel polish and a pedicure would be. On average an acrylic fill with gel was anywhere from $35 to $45... and a basic pedicure was anywhere from $27 to $33... ABSOLUTELY OBSURD I called "Nail Design" and my fill was $25 and if I would have gotten a pedicure it would have been $20. Definitely much more reasonable than all the rest of the salons in the area! *Quick *Affordable *A Job Well-done I will be coming back, if I am ever in the area and in need of a fill or pedicure! read more

I went as a walk in on a Tuesday and was able to make with Tony and he was amazing, he fixed my gel that was too tick from a previous nail salon and filled my gel.

Tony has been my nail guy for years! He's fast, his hand painted designs are awesome. It's not a very big salon but they do excellent work. Kim normally handles my pedicure and eyebrow wax. Make an appointment! They hardly ever have space/time for walk ins especially in the Summer!! read more

This is what I consider my neighborhood gem! It's like the dive bar of nail salons. I've been there plenty of times and have zero complaints. I usually get acrylic french tips, I never really use the same person exclusively so they've been done by a couple of guys now and they both did a fabulous job in under 40 minutes! Some places have taken me well over 2 hours. They haven't charged me when I asked for a little diamond on my ring finger yet and I always tip them extra for that. They don't charge a lot for acrylic or gel nails compared to a lot of other places around here and it's only $10 to get them refilled...that bargain is worth it to me! I really do love this place. Just don't come in expecting something grandiose and fancy, it's very small but very comfortable. I've never had to wait here with no appointment, and I've never made one! Tip: bring cash for tipping! They cannot add tips to a credit card purchase. read more

Prices are reasonable and work is decent however there are to many attitudes. I opted for another shop that values my business.

Located in the K-Mart shopping center. Sandwiched between Jimmy John's and Virginia Kitchen closer to Elden Street. This place is VERY small. Went in for a quick polish change ($7 and $3 file down). Too many signs up and too much clutter. 4-5 pedicure chairs. 8 nail stations. Not very many opi and essie nail polish bottles. 2-3 racks of gel colors available. 3 standard nail polish racks. I was seated with a tech closest to the window furthest right. During my time there... 1 pedicure walk-in. 1 previous client appointment. 3 staff. It's an ok place to get something quick/fixed but I would not go for detailed/further services. Accepts credit cards. Tips cash only. read more

Not impressed. The woman who did my nails seemed confused as to how to operate the dryer for gel nails. I got a gel manicure and is peeling after only 1 week. Really good price though. read more

The WORST nail salon experience I have ever had. This was in December but I just came across the picture and had to post. I have had acrylics done at a lot of places and this was the most horrific experience ever. They completely cut up my cuticles and just did a terrible job applying the acrylic. I even said something when I noticed it was looking too thick too close to the cuticle, she then proceeds to just f*ck up all of my cuticles literally making 3 of my nails bleed, as you can see in the pic. Even my boyfriend noticed they looked awful. I told the woman working on my nails everything that was wrong and another man came out and didn't apologize or offer to do anything. I said I would not pay for this service and he literally yelled at me "get out!!". DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Kim is the most unprofessional and rude nail lady ever. She works like she hates her job. She yelled at me and almost attacked me in front of everyone when I just asked her to cut my one nail cuticle a little more!!! Unbelievable! And then she said "a manicure is only $10"!!! Not nice at all!!! All I say I'm not going back to this place if this Kim lady is still there! Sad experience :/ read more

This is my go-to nail place in Herndon. I do not go regularly as I do get busy. I usually go here to get my nails done for special occasions or want to make my nails look fancy. If I get acrylics done, Tony is my go-to guy. He knows his job very well and his work is seamless. I have gotten acrylics done at other places, but I keep coming back for Tony's services instead. It does get busy and they are accommodating. I sometimes have a broken nail or need some minor fixing done they have done it for me with no -charge since I am a familiar face. Even if they do not charge me for fixing a broken nail, I make sure to leave a tip for my nail tech. If you want an appointment with Tony, you should call ahead of time about 3 days ahead. I still keep going there for my manicure needs. read more

I love this place!! It's not the prettiest or has the highest end amenities, but they do great work!! From gel, to acrylics, to pedicures, I have not left disappointed in any service I've gotten. They do tend to get busy in the evenings or on the weekends, but once they get started, I'm in and out in about an hour. Call ahead and they'll fit you in based on their availability, you'll never have to wait long. read more

First time visiting Nail Design and will be my last time. For starters, this place is extremely small (4 pedicure chairs and approximately 5-6 nail booths) with outdated equipment. So if you are looking for something extravagant, Nail Design is not it on appearance alone. I did a walk-in visit and was told I had a 15-minute wait; which was accurate. I received a pedicure and gel manicure. Upon arriving home, I noticed on my pedicure the left over polish from my previous pedicure and the second coat was applied approximately 3/4 of each toe; which means she did not do a thorough job. The manicure was a little better but also noticed after doing my hair the gel polish (DND) started to chip. I assume the nail tech realized this because she kept emphasizing how gel polish is different and they can never tell the outcome. Which by the way I've never experienced at Worldgate Nail (my regular Nail Salon). I was a little disappointed how some customers came in for a walk-in and was told to come back tomorrow as they were extremely busy. However, minutes later, other walk-in customers came in and was told to wait a few minutes and pick a color. I'm not sure if this is in reference to the sign they have displayed on how they can refuse service to any customer. On a lighter note, the cost was cheaper. However, I guess this is a classic case of you get what you pay for. read more

This is by far the filthiest and worst nail salon I have ever been to - hands down. Let me start with the good part - The lady who did my nails "Lan" was pleasant, even though she got a little irritated when I tried to explain to her that I didn't want my tips so thick and white. My pedicure: To start with I don't even know why she bothered to put my feet them in the water at all because there is no way the calluses on anyone's foot would have soften by then. She proceeded to to do the foot scrub even before the water was even completely filled up. Her tools did not come from an individually sterilized packet but were in some dirty old looking metal box. She didn't apply any lotion and put on the nail polish without the base coat. She cut so deep into my cuticles and I flinched several times from pain and eventually had to tell her to stop. My manicure was worse because. The dust on the table was so thick it was unbelievable. Again no base coat, no lotion or hand massage and several untouched spots especially on the sides of each nail. The premises its self is very small, dingy and everything so filthy I know will catch some disease if I continue going there. The pedicure and nail job were also the worse I've ever done. I won't even pay $10 to get that service and the health risk I exposed myself to. The nail polish on my pedicures usually last for about 2 weeks but it started peeling and wearing off on just day 3. My manicure fared even worse. I'm writing this because I wish I had a clearer idea of what this place was like before I decided to go there. Hopefully, this will help others with their decision making. I want iterate that the people were pleasant but I implore them to clean the premises, use cleaner tools and do a better job. read more

I have been going to Nail Design for about a year now! They are very fast and on the less expensive side. They are sometimes backed up since they tend to take all walk-ins. They do a good job! Nothing fancy. read more

My friend and I came in wanting two gel manis. Their were only 3 people working. Two for manicures and one for pedicures. I don't think the equipment they use is sanitized probably and tony rushed to do my nails. He didn't ask if I wanted them cut or how I wanted them shaped. I also didn't like how he had me dipped my fingers in acid tone to get the previous color off. Me being pregnant I didn't think that was a good idea. The shape is sloppy and they don't have a great color section. I would stay away read more

The price and services here are great...the staff is very friendly and efficient and over all I am very pleased with the deluxe pedi (with design) and the gel french manicure (not the fake nails, the "gelish" polish that lasts a few weeks). Walked away paying only $60.00! Needless to say I tipped well...this place lost stars because: 1) when doing the Mani I was surprised when they seemed to omit a few steps in the prepping of my nails which makes me wonder how long this will actually last, they didn't even ask me to wash my hands nor did they wash them for me 2) overly crowded for the space, maybe even too many stations??? 3) lastly, the person who started my mani us not the person who finished my Mani...there were more than a few technicians standing around and smoking at the front door (yuck), and instead of helping the walk-in that came in 2 of them kept yelling at the guy (Ethan?) who was doing a very nice job for me, until he got up, apologized to me and started the pedi for the woman waiting, while another woman stepped in to finnish. I mean, really? Was your smoke so important that you couldn't attend to your customer instead of interrupting another customers service? I am just saying. Oh! And next time you go for a smoke,take a few more steps away from your front door and maybe even close it so your patrons are not assaulted by your second hand smoke. read more

This is a great place. The prices are very reasonable. I've been going here for about two years now and they have never done a bad job. I have never had to make an appointment. Most of the time, they have been able to take me right away. In the two years I've been going there, I have only had to wait once. The nail technicians are all very nice and polite. Some are better than others at giving a good pedicure, but none of them are bad. I like to get the spa pedicure which is only $30 for about an hour of foot and leg pampering. I've also had a manicure here and they do a great job with that as well. They know their regular customers and treat good tippers very well. I will continue to go here for my pedicures and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, clean reasonably priced nail salon. read more

I've had a mani & pedi here twice. Both times I walked in without an appointment, and didn't have any trouble. The ladies are super nice and friendly and do a great job. They have the pedicure spa chairs and OPI brand polishes. The mani pedi combo is only $30. It become my place to get my nails done. read more

Do not come here! Save your money. Today I came in around 6pm (they close at 7) and when I entered no one greeted me. They almost acted as if I was not there. They were a little busy so I let it slide. I proceeded to pick out my nail polish and then took a seat. After waiting for 30 minutes, the nail guy came up to me and asked me what I needed done. I told him a pedicure and gel polish. His response to me was that I had to pick one or the other because they were about to close. This is by far the rudest experience I have had in a nail shop. And on top of that, the shop is tiny and dirty. They do not use clean equipment (I noticed this as I was waiting). I will never give this shop any business. read more

I went to this salon with high hopes and I must say I'm disappointed. I asked for a glitter ombré on top of a color...You can see the line difference between the color and the glitter. There is no ombré whatsoever. I'm highly disappointed. The woman didn't cut my cuticles, the color is blotchy, and there is clear top coat all over the sides of my nails. The best thing she did was shape them. I do not recommend. read more

.. I have been a client here since 2006. When I first moved to this area it took me 14 months to find a place that gave me personal attention. I lov the wai Tony does mi Nails & Ethan does mi Spa Pedicure( this usualli lasts about an hr. Ethan gives a gr8 massage ~ ). Lan, T, Kim & Susan will also give you personal attention. Be polite, it goes a long wai. I have been all over Tysons Corner, Reston Salons even in Bethesda, MD. Nail Design in Herndon is better than all of the others. If your talking price $30 for a SPA PEDICURE you can't get it ani better aniwhere else. Nails Designs are an additional charge. I get them on all of fingers & toes, because thats how I roll. I am not quite sure what the other reviewer is talking about Tony is a man & he is the owner. Unless he was donning a dress & heels that dai? Maybe he was feeling cheekie. Eyebrow & lip waxing: I have paid upwards of $28 for eyebrows & $27 for lip waxing. I was not satisfied. T knows how, I like mi brows to lQQk .. I never have to worri, she is always on the same page as me. Cost is $11 & $7 .. I am grateful that, I have a place I can go to. I lov Toni & his entire staff. I would like to give him 10 ********** stars however there is onli room for 5 .. rock on Nail Design in Herndon ROCK ON read more

Very basic, no frills. My paint job on my manicure was fine but you definitely get what you pay for. I.e. 15 second hand massage and I had to ask for her to buff my nails again because they were razor sharp at the edges. I don't think I'd be back because the services were rushed and the smell of the acrylic nails permeated the entire salon. I would suggest that they invest in better ventilation seeing as how it's a tiny space. I mean, with the invention of Shellac, who even gets acrylic nails anymore? Being at Nail Design felt like I stepped back in time to 2005. read more

I've been to this salon for over a year now and I'm never disappointed. I call and make an appointment to see Tony every two weeks. I'm very picky with my nails and he's always does exactly what I want! The salon isn't anything fancy but the quality of Tony's work is what makes me go back. read more

I have been their client for over 3 years now, but I am sorry to say, I will not return there and have to find another place now. I recently got gel nails done there and apparently they told me it is gel and charged me for gel but I later found out it was acrylic. That is a shame. I went to another nail place in NC as I was on vacation and they were shocked to see that my nails were plain old acrylic and not the gel I was thinking it was. This is dishonety on the part of the staff at Nail Design. If you are to go there please please make sure they are using the correct product on your nails. read more

Awful! I've been going here off and on for a few years, but this last pedicure was awful. The woman was rude and my toes looked terrible when I left. I told her several times that the water was cold. She did a quick job and used the wrong polish. Smudges all over the toes and fungus after I removed my polish 3 weeks later.... STAY AWAY!! read more

Nail Design - Stay away! Took off nail polish to find a fungus on 4 of my toes. Worst pedicure I've ever had. - Nail Salons Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a Yelp review. It's not because I am blown away with the level of pampering and customer service - I have no complaints in this department but it's not the kind of place that you go to relax and be pampered in a luxurious environment. Why I felt I needed to write a review is because this place took me in without an appointment, not long before closing (my bad - I assumed places would be open later than they are here), for no less than three services including a no-chip, which takes much more than a couple of minutes. Also, I am sure I have never spent this little on these services before. The total for a Brazilian a no-chip and a pedi was $75 ($30, $25, and $20). I have spent that much on just a Brazilian alone! So things started off with the Brazilian - a sweet young girl who didn't seem like she was very meticulous but also caused pretty much NO PAIN - how is that possible?! And while I didn't get the impression that she was being meticulous, I am actually incredibly smooth! She didn't get the very top of my butt crack but I suspect that's because she was too polite to ask me to get into an awkward position. As it was, I had to ask her if it would help if I raised my legs. I am sure if I had wanted a perfect job I could have asked her to touch up the upper a-hole area too. Next was the fastest pedicure I have ever had, but my toes look perfect and my soles are less like leather than they were when I went in. Finally dude stayed after closing to do my no-chip. Start to finish in probably about 20 minutes and PERFECT! I expect that process to take around 45 minutes (and cost ~twice as much!). So in summary - if your idea of pampering yourself is to have someone else do something to you that feels good, then this is probably not your place, but if your idea of pampering yourself is to have someone make you look better so that you can feel good for days or a week or more after (ie you're more interested in the end rather than the means) - go here! I wish I could take this place home to Chicago with me! Oh - no credit card tip (like a lot of places) so bring cash because these people deserve that little something extra! read more

Average place all in all. Prompt, nice, adequate service. Very small and somewhat dingy salon. Average color selection and reasonable prices. No reason to avoid this place but it won't blow you away either. Good top coat coverage but some polish on the skin near the nails. read more

bad service. I left very upset from that place They treated me badly. They are so rude .

Got a basic mani/pedi. Very mediocre overall but for $30 total what do you expect? I am pleased with the final product and my nail tech was very sweet. She cleaned up and snapped my nails very nicely. I will definitely be going back because of the price. Like everyone else has said don't expect anything fancy, you do get what you pay for here, but you really can't beat a 10$ mani and $20 pedi!!!!! read more
