    Worth the drive from DC.  Thoughtful touches like brown rice green tea and great Korean gel brands set this salon apart.

    Worth the drive from DC. Helen is friendly, professional, and extremely skilled. Thoughtful touches like brown rice green tea and great Korean gel brands set this salon apart.

    The prices are the same as other places in DC.

    The pedicure and manicure last with Dazzle nail polish. The nail polish is great if applied correctly by an experienced nail tech. I've had it applied and it chipped a few days later. I request the same nail tech and she knows how to apply the polish. She's great! Recently, I've been walking in to schedule my appointment and request a specific person. This week I made an adjustment in my schedule to make sure I was able to get an appointment. I came in on the confirmed time and day and the tech had not been informed she had any appointments. The flow was off and the front desk had not booked correctly from the previous weekend. I'm not sure what the process is but it's not a busy time of day and customers with a busy schedule should be informed if there are changes. The past few months the administrative flow in this salon has declined. The techs are doing their job but the flow is off (on slower times of the day too). Overall, nail service is good but administrative front desk service has declined.

    I believe I may have found my new nail salon. I enjoyed everything about my experience here, from the booking to the check to the service. It was the perfect pamper-shesh start on my birthday. I appreciate how detailed the website is. You can learn about the team, view all of the services they offer, complimentary beverage options,etc. I LOVE that they give back to the community. Creating an account and booking an appointment was seamless. It made the checkout process very smooth. You can even tip on your card! I was seated quickly after arriving and picking out my polish. They have a great selection of non-toxic polishes. I received the saloon gel mani. True to their word, the price included all the "luxury" add-ons that you usually have to pay more at other salons. It included shaping, cuticle care, sugar scrub and a hot oil treatment. My nail tech handle my nails with care, even letting me know it may be painful as she said the cuticle care because she wanted to ensure they were in the best shape. I appreciate that they offer the nail file and buffer to you if you want them. The mimosa was delicious. The place is clean and modern. The only issue I had was one of my thumb nails started to chip the following day. I suspect it's because that nail took longer to dry than the others. Otherwise everything was good. Looking forward to returning and getting a pedi in a few weeks!

    I was a few minutes late for my service but the pedicure area was packed so I had to wait a few minutes. I didn't mind as check-in was easy and I grabbed a glass of lemon water. It appears they also have champagne, but I was there on my lunch break! I was happy to have a look around while I waited. I was asked to wash my hands before picking out a color which as a Germaphobe, I loved. The sink areas and polish area was clean. I picked out a color and felt there was not a incredible amount of colors or brands, but there were still plenty to choose from. I often find myself overwhelmed by too many options so I like that they narrowed it down for me. They do not have massage chairs, but the chairs were comfortable. They also did not have jets in the foot baths, but it was a comfortable temperature and roomy. I got a gel manicure with a very light blue and my manicurist was meticulous. I actually do my own nails because I hate how sloppy nail salons can be with painting and I'm a control freak. That being said, she cleaned up the polish, perfectly filed and buffed everything, and was very gentle. She was the best, I wish I had gotten her name today. I will absolutely be back.

    The polish and menu selection

    Today was my first visit to Nailsaloon. This location is at Eastern Market so very convenient if you walk or ride Metro. Parking was a little rough. I made an appt (for a Saturday) so I am not sure of their availability if you have no appointment. I got a pedicure and I am very happy with my experience. The tools, pedi bowls, and establishment are clean/sanitized so I was very happy to see that. I was trying to read my nail tech's wooden name tag and I think it said "Minjin". She was excellent and periodically asked me if the water temp was ok, if the massage pressure was ok, and helped me to find a good polish color after my initial choice was too sheer for my liking. The "saloon" has a good nail polish selection and the polishes don't contain some of the "bad" chemicals. At the end, they have you sit at the dry bar (no light/heater) to dry. The only thing that bothered me is that the pedicure bowls are TOOO close together. I probably wouldn't have noticed if the customer next to me wasn't coughing and clearing her throat the entire time!!! I will definitely come back, on a weekday and/or close to opening time.

    I love this saloon. The atmosphere, service and quality. But the last few times I've got dazzle dry manicures which are supposed to last up to 2 weeks, they have lifted and chipped at the corners within 1-2 days. Quite disappointed in the results given the extra cost. Updated review to note that I reached out to Andrea at the email she provided in her comment reply but have not yet heard back.

    I am happy I finally found Nailsaloon. I loved my experience and a week later my mani is still pushing through. I came to Nailsaloon for a regular mani and pedi. The staff was friendly and they ensured that my friend and I were sitting next to each other for our manicures. They also offer drinks, which is cool. They also have a large array of non-toxic nail polish. And they were quick to fix my nails that got messed up when I was leaving. I already have my next appointments scheduled.

    Oh no. No, no, no, no, noooooooo. It's so weird that I stepped inside the shop, or I guess saloon, and instantly didn't want to get nail services here. Just a gut feeling of "no". Now, the service is nice from the people who takes your money and receives your appointments and the lady who brought us drinks. They have water, wine, mimosas, fresh made lattes, and sodas. Now, the lady who did my toes kept hurting me while cutting my cuticles. I would tell her that and she would say "ok" then go right back to doing the same thing. I was si glad when she put the stupid salt rub on my legs before massaging my legs for 30 seconds. Actually, from now on I'm not getting more than basic services because all the oils and scrubs I can do myself. So I also got my eyebrows waxed and I told the lady I just need a clean up because I like my eyebrows thick and shapely.......like me ;) However, she did what she wanted. Now I got to let my eyebrows grow back out. Pfft! Now the final straw is my sister got a manicure and they put something on them called razzle dazzle or something that makes it dry quick in 5-10 minutes. We waited more than that amount of time to make sure her nails were dry. When we tested it it was dry. That night we were leaving to go to the airport to go to Europe. While bringing down her suitcase she noticed that SEVERAL nails had chipped on BOT H hands. She called and they told her to come in. My sister said she couldn't because we were catching a flight but she took a picture and she is also a returning customer. So then she offered her $15 which is what I tipped the lady who did her nails since I paid for everyone. So no big whoop. They should have told her they would make it right when she comes back. They just lost a returning customer and future returning customers.

    My 12 year old wants design. She can't have gel nails. Do you do designs for children with a regular nail polish?

    Hi Melani, thanks for reaching out. We do nail designs and I'd be curious what kind of design your 12-year-old would like... so we can make sure we can accommodate and ensure it's doable with regular (vs. gel) polish. Can you kindly send a picture… Read more

    Do they offer dip nails? How is the color selection?

    No they do not offer dip. Their polishes are all made with less chemicals and they have many colors.

    Do they do acrylic nails?

    They do not. From their website "we only use 5-free (or greater) nail color. What’s 5-free? Excellent question. It's polish without Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Resin or Camphor. This also means: no gels, no powders, no acrylic, no… Read more

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.
