    Chrom dip manicure
    Racquelle W.

    I've been going here for a year! Ever since they were able to fit me in 2 hours before an internal flight and I realized my dip nails from here lasted a minimum of 3 weeks! Highly recommend! Here's my mail from todays visit!

    I did my nails with the guy. It started off with no cuticle or actual nail work- he went straight onto glueing the acrylic tips which I commented on. He said he will do the cuticles cleaning and nail structure after the acrylics get he never did. Although he is a nice person, the quality of his work is truly awful. I went out with nails that are literally crooked and falling off and despite my polite tries to explain it was clear he didn't understand so I just left anyway. Really disappointed for the amount of money I spent.

    Dip powder + nail extension

    I have come here a couple of times for dip powder and everytime my nails look amazing! Nina is attentive to detail & speedy while giving great results! I always leave the salon so happy with my nails and experience! Couldn't recommend this place enough!

    My nails before, NOT done by Ninas
    Genesis D.

    I usually don't like leaving reviews for nail salons until after I've tried them a few times and seen how well my nails hold up. But my first time here was a good experience and I got to sit with Nina herself. I typically get SNS or dip powder manicures and occasionally with design or nail shape change. But on my visit I just needed my nails removed, cut and cleaned. I had given birth to two beautiful babies recently and decided it was time for my nails to go back to being short and low maintenance. So while I wasn't entirely ready to get rid of my long natural beautiful nails, Nina made it easier for me. My nails were cut short, shaped slim, cuticles cleaned, and finished with clear polish. They didn't look so bare to my surprise! Then to make me feel even more beautiful, she did a great with cleaning up my brows and upper lip with a good ol' wax. All this service for $40. May sound pricey but that's cheaper than what I'd normally pay for my typical nail salon session. It's worth noting that Nina owns the hair salon that you have to pass through to get to the nail salon. She also owns another nail salon closer to union station. She even invited me to the holiday party they were having at that second location. Way to keep community camaraderie! I didn't make it to the party but I felt very welcome. I'm very picky with nail salons nowadays but I'd def come back here again to give other services a try. If not my typical manicure any time soon then maybe pedicures and other services til the babies are grown a bit more.

    Gel mani, 1 week later
    Corrine M.

    After seeing good reviews, I decided to switch to this salon - glad I did! I received a great gel mani and pedi, and both still look great a week later. The nail shop is in the back of a hair salon and even though the space is small, it doesn't feel cramped. The staff is very friendly and I had a hilarious convo with my nail tech. They have lots of polishes, but we still weren't able to match the gel and regular polish to a shade I wanted. I still like the different shades of pink I got though.

    Chipped polish and separation of a clear layer on top

    Everyone was so sweet and kind! However, I spent $70 for a dip fill that immediately started cracking and chipping off. Usually my nails last a month without chipping and these didn't even last a week. Also my nails were filed to the point it started hurting and feeling warm. Sadly won't be returning :(

    Great nails by Nina 2018
    Natasha P.

    Nina did an amazing job as usual. The salon is beautiful. Great experience would highly recommend. I cannot remove my prior review but I believe it was an isolated event. Overall I have an amazing experience here and will keep this as my salon as long as I am in dc

    I love getting my nails done by Nina. She is always so sweet and so nice and makes my nails look perfect, Every single time!! I highly recommend coming with a friend and having a spa day with Nina or anyone else on staff! Everyone is so nice:)

    Great nails every time! These are my nails with sns.

    Love my nails, they do a great job! I will definitely continue to come back here. I got tips with sns and the next time I got just sns with my regular nails. I really loved both people that did my nails.

    Cuticles were not trimmed properly. This is the result.

    Nina even texted me to make sure I knew it was in the back of the hair salon.

Clean and quaint, smells nice and a professional front desk receptionist. They use hard wax which is ideal for me, less harsh on my sensitive skin - plus I have fine hair so I don't need much. I was able to get 50% off as a first time customer (check your planet fitness perks). My cerologist was personable and did her best to make sure I had a great experience. I will definitely return for a maintenance visit

    I had a 9:30 a.m. appointment on October 16, 2025, at the new European Wax Center in Navy Yard…read more(1221 Van Street SE, right next to Mission restaurant). 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.
