This salon is located inside of Forestville mall near the Target. It's a hit or miss here, nothing special here just like most other nail salons. The employees are pretty nice and only half speak English per usual. I only use 2 techs when I visit Only Nails---Daisy, and I don't know the other ladies name, but she sits directly across from Daisy. They both comprehend very well---I like that. I have yet to get someone who can do a good pedicure. For some reason none of them seem to speak English---which is a bit frustrating. They keep some music videos on the TV for entertainment, which helps you get by. Prices are ok, and since the salon is located inside of the mall, the salon has mall hours. So, it stays opened later than your average shop. read more

David is fantastic! He has done my fill-ins twice and both experiences were great! He is thorough, gentle, friendly, and pays close attention to detail. I have absolutely no complaints. And the salon is modern and clean. My only complaint is having to watch UK's Got Talent on loop. But I can get over that. David is my go to from now on! read more

This is a place you come to for convenience and cost. I only come here because I like basic nails and don't want to spend $100 every 2 weeks. I normally get short and square nails maybe 1-2 colors depending on my mood. I get a pedicure here about once a month. They are usually busy when I go (after 6pm or weekends). I know it's never going to be a quick in/quick out. There are 2 techs who are good with "designs" both are younger women. The rest don't have super "steady" hands for creating great lines. I can only speak to this as my bestie has been going here a lot longer than I and she put me up on game. I continue to go here but always consider the saying "you get what you pay for." read more

I love the vibe and atmosphere. Oh and Wendy is the best. It's clean and they take they time

The nail tech did a horrible job polishing my toes and left clear polish all over my toes I didnt recognize it until they were dry. My polish was not smooth and my nails did not look professionally done. read more

I got my nails done a few days ago by an elderly woman there. I was hurt by the drill multiple times. I will show pictures of my hands cut up and the aftermath scabbing. Do not come here. I will not be back. It was so painful. She didn't even apologize. The total was $90. I told them I'm not paying full price for being hurt multiple times. They discounted it to $80. Messed up. read more

This so called "Nail Salon" Only Nails is by far one of the WORST salons I've been to in my life. I showed the lady an inspiration picture ( VERY SIMPLE French tip). She was confident she could achieve design pictured. I should have known she was not capable of achieving desired look, as she started all wrong shaping my nails nothing like the picture. Of course she fixed it after I spoke up. She preceded to do the French tip which had be taken all the way back, you would have thought I never showed her the picture let alone her taking a picture of the picture with her phone having it open while doing my nails for reference. When I spoke up again old girl had an attitude stating it wouldn't be exactly like the picture. Ma'am why didn't you say that in the beginning. Then the guy came over, said something in their language and had the nerve to tell me my nails looked nice. I explained to him where I needed my nails to go from there. He said he would order the little gold sticker for next time ( which it wouldn't be a next time). I told him ordering the gold stickers was unnecessary to achieve what it was I wanted. I even drew how to achieve the French tip I wanted with the supplies they had. I watch enough nail tutorials to know they were feeding me BS. By this time the lady had a major attitude, the way she was putting the top coat all over my finger was enough for me to walk up out of there. The UV light made my fingers burn like crazy not one apology was issued. If she wanted my money without providing me great service she should have said that. I wouldn't go back here if they were providing free services for a life time. Save yourself time and money and go elsewhere. read more

Got a basic pedicure. Results were ok. Tech tried to insist on other services. My nails and eyebrows were already done but she suggested it anyway. I don't appreciate upselling. Everything else was just ok. read more

Nasty and dirty... poor customer service! Been here an hour before they even spoke to me! Not to mention they don't take Apple Pay "get with the program" read more

This place was so BAD! The had someone's great great grandma doing my daughter nails. It look her an hour to a manicure and is was horrible! Then they fit an attitude when I told her to take the gel polish off because they did a F**ked up job. They got the right one today. Will never go back. read more

H o r r i b l e. This place is ridiculous. I asked for one thing and got another. My nails where lumpy and the service was pushy. They told me I was getting a deal but I still felt it wasn't worth it. It's half ass service. Oh and they try to convince you they are right when they know they wrong. This place makes you feel uncomfortable and unhappy. I will no longer be coming here. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! This place needs to be put out of business. The lady that did my nails was so rough and in a hurry that she made me bleed while cutting my cuticles! Im sure she didnt sanitize her tools afterward! In addition, she got polish on my hands and when I asked her to clean it up (yes I had to ask) she tried to scrape it off with her fingers instead of using polish remover. I will not bring my money back here. As African Americans we need to demand better service or stop patronizing businesses like this. read more

It has been months since I had a pedicure. Nails technician did a fantastic job on my toes. Thank you for the excellent service.

This is the worst place it's unsanitary they don't properly clean the lady touched my feet and went a waxed eyebrows. My nails was mediocre and the price for it all was $80 if I would have got lashes and feet hands bag brows would have been 108. read more

Very disappointed... I was turned away because apparently they didn't want to find the time to fix ONE NAIL.... again "1" nail ... I got there 20 minutes before they closed and still turned away... I would understand if it was for all my nails or a service that takes a long time but for 1 Nail smh... customer service is poor in my eyes and they wasn't pleasant in how they acknowledged or spoke to me. I def will never return!!! I hate bad reviews but the fact that they didn't try and it's not like it was packed so I am a very unhappy person. I hope they don't do that to someone who wants service bc it's not right. Other salons don't turn u away instantly like this read more

First time I came here nice, yesterday got my pedicure done here and this morning my design coming off came back after work to have them redo now they want to talk shit in there language and be rude tell me it's my shoes no it's not I have been getting pedicures for years. If it was done correctly the first time there would not be a problem. Look around it's only blacks patronizing this establishment if we stop coming they would have to shut down. They have the nerve to be rude smh I will give this place no star read more

This is a terrible place. Please don't waste your time coming here....you will be thoroughly disappointed. None of the techs are accommodating, and all of them are rough. Stay away from the manicures PLEASE. The place is dirty and the techs lack professionalism. read more

The nail techs here did not do a good job and do not know how to shape and file the nails correctly. My nails are two different lengths and are not fully painted. read more

DO. NOT. COME. HERE!!!! This place is very messy, very unclean and the chairs and equipment are old and rundown. I came here on a whim bc it was conveniently next to Target, but I regret it so much! The tech was arguing in a foreign language (full on screaming) to another tech across the room, but does she realize I'm right in front of her? It was so uncomfortable! I initially requested for a gel manicure but just changed it to basic polish just to get out of there as fast as I could! I was FLOORED when the tech took the bowl of acetone that my hands were in and POURED IT BACK IN THE BOTTLE that it was in!!!!!!! That is so disgusting, I can't imagine how many women's hands that acetone was used for before it was used on me!! I even expressed to her that was NOT okay and she just smiled. She was rough when removing my cuticles and I noticed all her tools were dirty and rusty. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELVES PEOPLE!! Worst experience in a nail salon ever, hands down. IF THERE WAS SUCH A THING AS GIVING "NEGATIVE" STARS ON YELP I WOULD DO SO! ); read more

Do not come here for service. I asked them to remove my gel polish because they messed up my nails twice in a row. The polish had spots on it after I washed my hands and I left for vacation a day after. Very unprofessional service read more

I can't speak for the whole shop, but I only needed one time for me to know not to come back. I requested a pedicure and a gel fill in. The guy doing my nails had a horrible attitude and was either inexperienced, or just didn't know what he was doing. I managed to get through the pedicure, where I first noticed his attitude. Went to get my gel fill, he was very slow in doing my nails, kind of like a little kid doing a chore that he really didn't want to do. His phone rang and he stopped doing my nails to take this 10 min phone call. As he's filling my nails in, he's only filling in the very bottom of my nail. I asked why he wasn't taking it all the way to the tip of my nail, he said if he did that then that wouldn't be a fill, it would be a full set. I've never had just the bottom of my nail filled, especially as sloppy as he was doing it. His attitude got worse and I told him I wanted someone else to do my nails. He just left me sitting there. I waited about 10 mins....decided to pay for my pedicure and leave. As I was leaving someone offered to do my nails, by then I was over it. I'm not from DC and this area charges way too much for nail services for sloppy work with and attitude. No thanks. Avoid if you can. read more

DO NOT EVER COME HERE! The most rude, unprofessional, sloppy work ever. To focus solely on my nails it has been two days and my middle finger split and broke while I was unlocking my locker. The prices are outrageous for the trashy service! They can't even do to the basics right. I waited for two hours for nails that didn't last two days AND I paid $50! My nails aren't even even! One middle finger is longer than the other, it hurt while she was doing them, and she didn't even polish my whole nail! Only two people did full sets in the salon and that's what everyone wanted! They should not have any business! This is located in the forestville mall, please never subject yourself to this trash. Also, she was rushing to do my nails so that she could do her friends who she spoke to throughout my entire service. Not to mention I saw her on the phone with her previous client and the shop was not very cleanly. I will never come here again and I will tell everyone I know to steer clear. Just trash. read more

I came here for a pedicure. There were 2 people ahead of me. They got helped after a while of waiting. Other customers came in and they asked who needed a pedicure and took them to get their work done before me (after I had been sitting for a while). I was then charged additional money without being asked at the time of my pedicure procedure (such as used a dead skin grader) an extra $5 they will tag on to your total. PLEASE BR AWARE. The guy thought it was funny and laughed in my face. My polish also has chipped off after a few days. My first and last time going there. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I left my bank card in the car and only had cash so I decided to just get a fill-in and polish. The guy doing my nails caught an attitude and did a terrible job on my nails. I was just too mad to remember to take a picture of the messy job. I also brought my own Essie polish and when he was done doing the terrible job, he put my polish on the shelf, without me knowing, with the rest of their polishes and left. When I asks the shop supervisor about my polish she act like she didn't know what I was talking about and walked off. So I sat for 10 minutes until he returned to get my polish. They are very unprofessional. I will never go to this shop again! read more

Went here because it was on my way home from work. I arrived it was nearly empty there was an older lady that did my fill in she cut my finger so bad with the nail file blood started gushing out of my finger that she cut smh. She then puts some green antiseptic that stops bleeding on it. OMG it burned like fire from the pit of hell on my finger. She did this without telling me it would burn of course. She shaped and did my nails terribly!! She then goes to put the white nail file that she cut me with (which has ALOT of visable blood on it) back into her draw to use on the next customer! DISGUSTING! I told her there was blood on it and she opens the draw and with an attitude slams the bloody nail file in the trash! This place is VERY unsanitary if you get a pedi here you might as well cut of your foot now! RUN for the hills do not come here! Oh and she cut another customers the same way she did me and also burned her too with the antiseptic! The poor woman was telling me her story as she heard me yell and watching me blow my burning bloody finger! read more
