nice workers, quiet, and good attention to detail. the gel mani holds up well. made an appointment after work on a thursday but it was pretty free that i didn't have to read more

I walked in here once and when I was taken back to get my nails done, the tech kept asking if I wanting gel. I repeatedly told her " no, I do not want gel." After asking again, I said, " for the 5th time, no, I do not want gel." The entire place looked at me like I was the villian while this tech acted like a victim. This lady said something to me and this couple followed me out the door. I should of called the cops in this scam. read more

I was soooo pleasantly surprised by my visit to Old Town Nails and Spa. I expected it to have a bit more of a stuck up atmosphere given its location. However, the vibe was chill and the employees were all super nice. The girl who did my nails was great! I didn't catch her name but I tipped via Venmo (bonus points for having that as an option, as I never carry cash) and saw her name as Thao. The items she used were labeled "MyMy" but again, not sure. Anyway, it's worth noting that I paid $71 for a gel mani and pedicure. However, all pedicures include callus removal, even the basic, so it's not too terrible. I'll probably come back when in a pinch. read more

Old Town Nails & Spa - Mani pedi - Massage Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I asked the price for a fill mani and pedi and was told $38+$55 = $93 I was charged ***$153*** when leaving. MIND YOU I BROUGHT MY OWN POLISH. I moved here so I dont know if this is normal nickle and diming but I've never been charged more for the following: Trimming my nails ($10), $10 for gel on my nails (my own), $20 for nail art, she added a gem, and the pediure was an extra $15 for removing gel polish, $10 for not sure what else . I could not believe it was $153 for their most basic pedicure and a fill. I feel like I was just conned. I will never go back here. read more

The pedicure I had here was not bad. Not the best I've ever had, but you can't beat the price, especially for Old Town. Would come back. Plus, they have a wide menu of services so you can get pretty much anything done from laser hair removal to nails to lash tinting. read more

Old Town Nails & Spa - Purple~~~ pretty nails for my fat fingers - Massage Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I used to like this shop and would frequent it on a regular basis because it was two blocks away from my house. However in frequent times, they have treated me with disrespect and disregard for my time and business. I came in recently and was made to wait in an inordinate amount of time to get serviced to which never happened. I walked out. I just now tried again and without any regard for my patronage, the lady looked up when she decided to acknowledge me and said without checking the appointment book once (though most nail places don't use them even when they do make appointments), she stated: "We don't have anything available." I will not be returning. read more

I found this salon randomly since my normal salon isn't open at the moment(Damn you covid!) Anyway, I loved the atmosphere here. The staff were welcoming and I was immediately serviced when I arrived. My nail tech was Vivian and she was very patient with me being as though I had a conference call and didn't have any ear phones . Sorry Vivian. I'll definitely return if my normal salon isn't open. read more

If I could give a 0 I would, I tried to get my almond nail shape fixed "which I already had dip nails" and the lady ruined my nails and proceed to said it was my fault for having ugly tacky nails. I have never felt so bad and embarrassed in my life. After I politely said its okey take them off because I didn't wanted to argue with her. She proceeded to aggressively take them off leaving them like the photo below and then pointing at me while talking to her other coworker while they laughed. I usually never comment or have I ever leaved a bad review before but I could not be quiet for this. PLEASE I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

It was expensive and rushed. The pedicure chipped almost immediately and my finger nails were not filed properly.

Went in the other day for the first time for my friends' birthdays and it was a great experience! I got a French manicure and had a wonderful time. The interior is decorated so beautifully and the store is clean and well-lit. The French looks so pretty and the lines are so clean and crisp. They used this great mango lotion after we were done too and that was an extra level of attention that really added to our visit to Old Town Nails & Spa. As an added bonus everyone that works at the store were so sweet and joked with us the entire time we were there. They really made our day. read more

I hate leaving negative feedback, but I'm disappointed. On Friday, I went to this shop for the first time with my husband. I came in for a gel pedicure and a dip manicure. The service was excellent and the staff are wonderful, but the gel polish on my big toe chipped the next day for no apparent reason. Then I noticed cracks in my nail polish, and today as I began typing on my keyboard, I noticed the polish chipping. I've had gel pedicures and dip powder manicures on and off for years, and this is the first time I've had this happen. read more

Not a great experience. The smell of chemicals is so strong when you walk in that I almost walked out. During my mani/pedi I noticed they were about to reuse a pumice sponge and I asked for a new one as I do not think it is hygienic to share with strangers. I politely said "I do not want to use any tool that has been used by someone else." The technician pushed back but someone else who worked there brought one over and told me I was "lucky" they had a new one. Then my manicure was done at a high table where there is no place to put your feet and so my toes touched the tile a bit and the technician chastised me for "messing up" my pedicure. I politely noted there was no place to put freshly manicured feet. I was so glad to leave. It was just a bad experience and I would never go back there... read more

Fabulous experience here! The workers are kind and welcoming. The woman did such a good job on my pedicure. I almost fell asleep from how soothing it felt. The atmosphere is fun and it is right in old town. It is the perfect place to stop by! read more

Went here before my wedding for a mani pedi with my mom. Everyone was so friendly and my nails came out great. Would recommend!

All the techs are great, this is my go too for sure. I wish I could schedule online but I have been making it ok without appointments for a very long time. They are on short staff so timing has been everything. read more

I have two pedi's here and they are good! I usually call ahead to make an appt and haven't had to wait.

Fantastic service, wonderfully kind and accommodating even though we came in right at closing!

Randomly pick this location and let's just say I will never return. First and last time. Worst experience I have ever received. All I received was the basic manicure and pedicure and the tech did such a poor job. The owner offered for me to return but with the same tech. Not something I was going to waste my time doing. I would rather take my business somewhere else. read more

Went there for dip powder and had to return for them to get redone 4 days later due to excessive chipping. Not even a week after that, nails are peeling and chipping so much!! Never going back. read more

The setting was great, the service was attentive but the quality of "dip manicure" I got was terrible. I got my nails done on Thursday, by Friday one nail had already chipped. It's Sunday, two nails have chipped / peeled. I got dip nails because they typically last much longer but the nail tech used a GEL top coat.... not happy with the quality. Will not be going back. read more

This post will need an update because I do plan to return. My first visit here was not the best. I was here for almost four hours. I legit had to move my car and renew parking. The services I received were a full set and a pedicure. Tracy did my pedicure and she did a good job! I get gel on my toes and really had no issues with how my pedicure was done. Tracy then did my full set. I initially just wanted the fiberglass/acrylic that I have always gotten, but Tracy (I think, I know her name definitely started with a T) asked me if I wanted to try SNS. So I said sure. She did my set and long story short, the SNS was not applied well. My nails were not smooth. She didn't buff them well, IMO. I also had significant issues with the clear coat that she put over my nails. They weren't drying properly, they didn't look nice and clear. Me not wanting to be difficult, and being close to my car parking expiring, I left the nail shop. I got to my car, sat down and started to think. I paid over $115 for both of the services. There is no way I should be walking out unsatisfied!!! So I went back in and told them the issues with my nails. While I thought they were just going to have someone buff and re-shape my nails, they completely soaked them off and had another lady (Karin) start my nail process all over again. Night and day difference. Karin did everything I've ever seen nail technicians do when it comes to buffing and shaping nails. I asked her why her colleague had done something different, she said something alone the lines of different people have different methods. Now, that soak off and redo took another hour and a half, hour and forty-five minutes, but I left out the shop actually happy with the results. What I appreciate about this shop is the fact that rather than disregard my satisfaction, they worked with me and made sure they fixed the problem. That is ultimately what will bring me back. I can't say I will experiment with SNS again, but I will definitely go back for a pedicure. read more

They were the only nail salon in the area open later on the 4th of July so I drove straight there after I hung up the phone! Ive passed this place many times since its right on King St. It doesnt look like much on the outside and you cant help but notice the interesting decor from the street so I didn't expect a whole lot. To my surprise, I had a good experience here. Sanitation was good as I watched them place a new liner inside the pedicure bowl for each new customer. Lilly did my pedi and nail polish change. She is a total sweetheart. I am a tough person to please when it comes to my mani/pedi's but she was thorough and detailed. Her communication was good and I noticed the same from everyone else working there that evening. My complaint was that I found it a bit pricey. A polish change cost $12 which is the same price as a manicure. The regular pedi ($33) and polish change came to $45. They also have an all-white themed decor which does not work well for any business unless you never want your place to look clean. I would come back while in the area but will definitely choose a regular manicure instead of their expensive polish change. read more

Terrible service. Terrible quality. Terrible people. I don't leave negative reviews often but I have to with this one. They will lie cheat and steal anything they can from you. Avoid at all costs. Brought my family here and had a terrible, terrible experience. Ruin your nails, sell your data, and overcharge you for things they cannot explain that they did the claim they didn't do it. read more

I came here Sept 2021 to celebrate my friends bridal/bachelorette event. This place caused me to get an ingrown toenail for the first time ever and I've been suffering with it ever since. No other pedicure has led to my nails becoming ingrown! read more

Great service! Price is okay at this area. Love the gel selections, so much options of colors.

I was happy to find Old Town Nails and Spa on Yelp while I was in the area. I called to confirm they took walk ins before I made my way over. They do, and they took my name and said they could take me for a pedicure. I arrived a tad later than I had anticipated due to traffic, but I was immediately tended to upon arrival. The salon was decent sized and clean. They had modern decor, and college basketball was on tv! The technicians were very nice and professional. I dont live in Old Town, but I was expecting higher prices from a salon right on King Street, but that was not the case. Their prices were on par with any other salon I've been to. I really appreciated that they didnt try to upsell me to a fancier treatment than I'd requested. My toes and I are quite pleased and would be happy to return! FYI: They accept cash tips only, but there is an ATM in the store if you need it. read more

My friend and I came by shortly after opening on a weekday morning and were able to get manicures without a wait. Manicure quality: pretty goodgel manicure with even color and very few bubbles. Plenty of color choices as well. They even have more colors along the walls behind where they do your nails. Price: on par with other salons in the area. Location: on king street in old town with plenty of metered street parking in front of the salon. The parallel side streets also have plenty of parking as well. Service: the woman who did my nails wad skilled but rude at times. I was here with a friend and we were laughing and talking. The technician asked me many times to sit still and got frustrated by my movement, even though my only movement was from laughter. I was confused by her frustration since my nails were well underway and looking ok. This won't stop me from coming back, but just something to think about. Pro tip: bring cash for a tip! And make an appointment if you want to guarantee you won't have a wait. read more

This place needs some serious cleaning, furniture and tools upgrade. Stains on everything. Uncomfortable.
