Tonja R.

Arrived at 11:57 and was told the wait was 10-15 minutes for pedicure. I was seated 20 minutes later. Soaked for 5 minutes. Nai gave me a fabulous sugar scrub rub on my calves. Most the time the leg massages included in your pedicure are blah but this was the best massage I have ever gotten. NaI was meticulous while applying my polish and perfected anything that didn't look just right. I'll definitely be coming back.

This was the reference photo...

I made an appointment for a full set of acrylics, I came in and told them just like the picture, The manager or whoever kept insisting that dip powder is better, and after stating that I would like to do colored powder acrylics they still did dip powder on me!! The same guy who made us do the dip powder interrupted the nail tech and I at checkout and snatched the money out of her hand and just confused everyone for no reason !! My nails are breaking after 24hrs! Stay away from the dip ladies

Got a pedicure from Mimi and a dip manicure from Jamie... more than happy with both results!! They are super friendly and helped me with my decisions and colors! I am happier with my results than I have ever been in years with a nail salon. I will definitely be back!

This pic shows the lumps...

Apparently under new management and they were taking down old pics and wall paper from the walls right behind my pedicure chair which was quite annoying. Also, had to come home and get gel polish off my big toe cuticle and my fill in is super lumpy, the acrylic on all my nails. Ohhh and they charged extra to shape my short nails from square to round! Was hoping to like since close to my house, but I will travel farther again.

Design I received

Update (9/4/22): Went back to the salon on Sunday right at 11 and informed the techs that were there why I was there and one stated she'd have to call Ashley to verify; which I had no problem with. I actually spoke with Ashley and realized she'd actually scheduled my appointment for Tuesday at 10 and I informed her I wouldn't be in VA on Tuesday, so I'd need to cancel and I'd try another salon. She immediately apologized, stated everyone there now was busy with appointments and said I could come back later in the day and asked to speak back with her tech. I returned the phone to the tech, ran out to my car and came back thinking that I'd be informed of the time I could return later in the day. Nope, I'm guessing they thought I left. I stood at the counter for 21 minutes before a tech walks in (thankfully he acknowledged me) and asks what was going on. I explained the situation and he immediately took me to station 2 where he proceeded to remove what excess I couldn't the day before and redid my nails; exactly like the picture. Updated to 4 stars because of the customer service received from him (I do regret not getting his name) & Ashley; removed a star from the opening nails techs lack of acknowledgement while I waited 21 minutes. Original post (9/3/22): Called the day before (Friday) to schedule an appointment for 10:15 on Saturday; informing them by phone, what I wanted done. Arrived the next day around 10:05 and was greeted; I advised we (my mother and I) had an appointment at 10:15 and we were asked what we wanted done (yet, this information was provided the day before). We were told which pedicure chairs to sit in and I was asked by Sam if I was ticklish, which I replied no and she acknowledged that, stating she'd make sure she really scrubbed and quite frankly, it was the most lackluster pedicure I've ever had. Appointment was set for a manicure / pedicure and I had a picture of the exact manicure I wanted. It was suggested I get dip powder and the method (dip powder, gel, regular polish) wasn't much of a concern as long as it resembled the picture. I usually keep my nails very short but had been growing them out for a few weeks & tips were applied; did all of my nails need them, no but for the sake of uniformity, all nails received them. I was told by Sam because I had a natural arch it was harder for the nail to adhere with the glue. I should have taken this as the first sign but didn't. She continued through the dip process and I knew pretty quickly that what I wanted wasn't happening. I told Sam no less than four times that I wanted the nails cut down, showed her how short and she said she'd cut above that and file the rest. Original shape was to be almond and I left with coffin (if you want to call it that because she'd already cut the tips for the almond shape) because her almond and my almond were not the same; stating my picture showed oval. During the filing process she said she wished I'd said something sooner and she wouldn't have made the tips so long (I did say something from the beginning that I didn't want them long). She kept saying it usually doesn't take this long but because of the tips, the shape, etc. that's why it was taking as long as it was. I've had acrylic overlays for years before and I've done my own dip powder and she's correct, it shouldn't have taken her 3 hours for what I had done; including a gel pedicure which had to be a applied "precisely" because the white would show streaks. I knew Sam wouldn't be able to do the original design I wanted and settled on lines, telling her do abstract lines; one per nail in varying directions. She starts and makes four lines, stating she didn't like it and she'd do the lines she wanted. Wipes it off and the next line was thick and curved. I reminded her straight abstract lines and she proceeded to do another curved one so I finally said no lines, I'd just settle on the dip color so I was reimbursed $5 from the tip I provided since I wasn't getting my desired design so they wouldn't have to refund my card because they were so busy. I've never left a salon absolutely devastated. I actually wouldn't consider it a true manicure as there was no cuticle work, I didn't even wash my hands after but did have some cuticle oil applied. I had other errands to run and called back to speak with a manager. Spoke with Ashley (the manager) and informed her that had it not been mentioned that they were so busy, I would have said something before I left (I also didn't want to spend any more time there). Ashley stated I could come back that day (Saturday) or by Monday and she'd redo them with the design. I really wish I'd taken a picture but didn't have the heart to. I eventually came home and used my own nail drill to file them down to the desired length and then spent the evening soaking off the dip powder because I was so disappointed. Giving two stars for Ashley's response and hopefully I'll be able to update to a higher rating.

I had high hopes for this new salon, as it is right down the street from my home. I will not be returning. Salon dirty and disorganized. Product supply/choices very limited. No one speaks, or understands, English fluently enough to communicate effectively. Technician seemed in a hurry, although I clearly woke him from his nap when I came in. I told the manager(?) what I wanted when I came in and showed him a picture. He assured me he was giving me to the right technician who could give me what I asked for. I told him repeatedly I was very particular. He assured me he could. In my opinion, he lied...and it was all only about the money. (Which I paid, in cash, as requested...and tipped in cash.) Don't business owners understand that all they have to do is ACTUALLY care about their customers? Just a little bit? And provide what they promise? Then, we will COME BACK. It is not rocket science. I would not recommend this business...even in a pinch.

I was a walk-in pedicure, and they took me back right away. Excellent service, clean, and friendly atmosphere. My toes look awesome!
