This review is long overdue, but I need to share my experience. Professionalism, customer service, and the quality of my nails was a 10/10! Back in December, I was in desperate need of a mani-pedi at the last minute and the shop offered to stay open until I could arrive 8:15pm to service me. They close at 8pm!! I didn't even ask, they offered! I had such a bad day that day due to so many unexpected mishaps arising and for them to be so generous in staying open late helped me more than they'll ever know. On top of that, they didn't rush my service at all! They did a beautiful gel pedicure and builder gel manicure for me that lasted 3 weeks. They truly went above and beyond for me and I will never forget that! This will always be my go-to spot anytime I'm back in D.C.!! Thank you Nail Spot & Spa!!! read more

So the girl with pink hair tried to tell me I have a fckn allergy....a bacterial INFECTION is not an allergy sweetie. Then tried to say I came in with cuts...which I didn't. But even if I did, I had been getting my nails for a year straight a few months ago...after a few sets back to back, cuticles get cut...her logic made no sense whatsoever, she was rude and tried to say they don't even do refunds at first, called people over to talk to them in my face, and then again tried to gaslight me as she was doing the refund. Don't come here. Not good customer service, terrible compensation, and they're going to gaslight you after giving you an infection. read more

4 years later and I'm back! The quality hasn't changed a bit and I can't remember why I stopped coming here. They have a cash option which is a little less than using your card, so bring cash! I can say that overall I'm in and out within an hour, service is always speedy and I typically make an appointment with Lily.

Do not visit. Bad bad bad customer service and nail quality. Service was rushed, nail polish ran over my nail @ sloppy clean up am

This salon has been a neighborhood staple for years. The quality of service has always been top tier. I got to relax and watch tv while getting serviced. Lily took care of my nails today and the nice gentleman did my pedicure and eyebrows today. read more

I have been going her me for some time and today has been the worst experience for me. My toes were done horribly. I have a scheduled appointment with Lucy which she did not show up for, someone else did my toes and did a horrible job acrylic was all my toes, shape was horrible, polish was even worst. Walked out with unfinished toes. Love my nail tech but this service was unprofessional and I will not be back. read more

Went there today. The lady did amazing on my feet that's why I gave it two stars. But the hands oh no babyyy. She messed up my nails bad. I usually go to another nail salon in dc but this one was closer to where I was at the moment. She seemed rushed and when I told her about my middle finger being messed up she didn't fix it. Not worth spending your money here. Maybe on the feet but not the nails. read more

Do not go to Lily! The nail quality doesn't match the high prices charged. Paid $165 for a full set with a bumpy finish. Made an appointment on 3/13 for a fill. She asked me to send her the styles ahead of time. Once I got there, she told me, she couldn't do the styles I wanted. I had to settle for plain polish at $90! My started lifting before the week ended. I Contacted her yesterday on Instagram about the issue, but she blocked me without acknowledgment. Disappointing to pay so much for poor quality and wasted time traveling to the salon. Do not let Lily waste your time or money! You should be upfront and honest with people if you're not able to do the styles that they're requesting. read more

Run....far far away..... Don't stop, do not pass go, do not collect $200! The sanitation standards of this place are deplorable-raggedy linens, cross contamination of tools amongst customers, hella gnats, OLD OLD polish, etc! Attention to detail is simply below general standards. Professional is minimal given they speak on their cell phones and just do whatever without asking before hand if you don't specify. And to top it off they have no price list posted anywhere in the shop so you feel like you may be scammed given the prices for poor work. The only reason they get a star is because they greeted you and genuinely were cordial. Overall, just not worth it. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

As many times As I have been to nail salons in DC, this has to be one of my top 3 best nails salons yet!! I was accompanied by Lily and Christine who were both very sweet, welcoming, patient, and might I add, GREAT at what they do. Despite the pricing of full sets being a little expensive as the years go by, I would rather give my money to something I know will last and look amazingLily did a great job and is very versatile. She can mimic any design you give her and is precise in her work! Ill be sure to come back! read more

I've been going to them for more than 5 years. They've recently renovated the place so it looks a lot nicer. Christine is great and she takes her time to make sure she does a good job so I usually ask for her. Helen and Mimi are pretty good too and they do bikini wax if you ask them. read more

I look forward to getting my nails done at the Nail Spot & Spa. I've been Lily's client for 1 year now and she does AMAZING NAILS!! She's very bubbly and pleasant. My overlay lasts long and I'm always getting compliments on my nails. When I've sent Lily picture's of the nail design I'm getting. She recreates the design to look exactly like the picture. If not BETTER than the picture! She's just so talented, I'm always in Awe of her work! Lily is not just a nail tech to me, she's a nail artist read more

Overall my pedicure looks nice unless you're looking closely. The edges are not clean and i'm hoping they do not lift even though its gel. I walked in maybe 20-30 mins after they opened and they were busy, but they were able to take me in. I got a guy i didn't catch his name, but omg he was fast! I barely had any clipping for my cuticle. He trimmed & used the shaver on my toe nails & buffed the edges with a file. Next part was a super fast scrub down what felt like sandpaper on my legs and feet. He used those brushes that you use to clean under your nails. If you are worried about sanitation it did not come out of a plastic bag or clean container. Same thing with the pumice stone and the clippers. Im from the bay area and usually they are in sterilized bag or a machine. Anyways he did a base, 2 layer, and top. My nails weren't under the light for a min because he paints so fast and switches to the other feet. I was out like in 20-25 mins lol which isn't even spa like. Back home its usually about 45-60mins. That can be a pro if you're in a hurry. Its only a con because often times this is where i treat myself to mani/pedi and you want to be able to relax. I do wanna say I'm often worried about ppl cutting my big toe bc I'm prone to infection. Hopefully my toes will last at least two weeks & not infected since it looks a lil red. 070722: Update! Passed the 2 weeks mark & still looks good. read more

Not a very clean place in which to get your nails done. There was so much dirt, dust and debris I would have left had she not started working on my nails. The fill in was also a mess. She kept yanking my hands and bring rough the entire time which did not make for an enjoyable experience. She also rushed with my top coat which left some of my nails without a top coat. Never again. Fast forward 3 days later, two of my nails are broken. read more

I've been going to Lily for 4 years now. Any design you show her, she can do it! I've recommended so many people to her. She's very fast and efficient. When I come for a fill in, I'm in and out within 40mins - even when I get a design! I go every 3 weeks but my nails have lasted as long as 6 weeks without breaking and I always get long nails. To book with Lily you have to make an appointment in advance but she is so sweet and accommodating. You can usually text her the week of and she will make time for you. read more

Shop: Don't look for fancy chairs and drinks. The bathroom is clean; the shop could use a deep cleaning. Nail Tech Tables: Some are junky. Some of the chairs for the customers should be replaced. Tech: Lily is great at what she does. She only accepted appointments. A full set is a little expensive. She is on time for her appointments. She does skip the hot towels on the pedicure. Polish: Some Polish is old. read more

This honestly was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a nail salon. The shop opened at 11am & I arrived at 11:17am. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. There were at least 5 people in the pedicure chairs and one person getting her nails done. The lady who greeted me passed me one ring of pre-polished nails so that I could choose my color. I asked her did they have more colors since there weren't many to choose from nor any from the brand I prefer. She proceeded to tell me no. Then when I said ok and was ready to leave she pulled out a box of OPI (about 15 colors) for me to look at. That should've been sign to run. Who hides polish at a nail salon. Well I chose a pink but also wanted a yellow. She then went a found a yellow that she had just bought in the back. She proceeded to tell me to sit in the chair so she could file my nail polish off. I sat down and she filed the polish of half of one nail(pictured) and then she got up. It wasn't until later I realized that she went to do a pedicure instead of finishing what she was doing. Another lady saw my face and stated she would be with me soon. I proceeded to watch Netflix... and before I knew it 30 minutes had gone by. Now I was super annoyed because I had a half filed nail on a Sunday afternoon. What else could I do other than wait. If I went to another shop I would be further down the list and I refused to go to work the following day like that. Finally almost an hr after my arrival I was assisted. Apparently they only had two nail techs ( one who only took appointments and the other did walk-ins) in the place that day and the other 5 people only did pedicures and manicures. If they would've told me that then I would've left immediately. During my nail service I had to coach the lady in polishing my nails (wouldn't go over to the sides) And to no surprise by Monday evening I was back because my polish had chipped. Even as I'm writing this I'm sure I will be getting my nails redone with in a week. Needless to say I won't be returning... they need to work on their communication with the customers. If you are to busy it's ok to say come back in hr . Don't just have people waiting. read more

First time at this place and it was okay. Tina was my nail tech and despite being so busy she really took her time with my Mani & Pedi. I had some detail on my nail colour and style that didn't quite turn out as perfect as I wanted but this was after Tina tried multiple times and we both decided it looked decent enough. She and the rest of the staff are quite patient and friendly. Welp, my polish was too thick on one of my nails and got smudged. Went back and there were only 3 techs, all busy. It was a long wait but Lily eventually got to me and re-did my entire set so I left quite happy. I'll give it another chance :) read more

First time out-of-towner I had a definite comeback experience . Tom ( Black eagle cap) worked both pedicure & manicure which was simple , basic & just what I wanted. For me the price was higher than expected. I was a walk in never waited (lucky). and was out in a short time. I felt noticed , people were kind which included customers as well. I will be back. read more
