    Dip powder + rounded-square shape
    Natasha G.

    I made an appointment and was seen as soon as I came in. The establishment was clean + quiet. Santa was efficient + thorough. I love the color and the shape. I like how the dip powder was applied with a brush, like acrylic. Santa did a phenomenal job. I will be back!

    My full set from orchard nails (Vivian).

    I don't know if I'm just so Picky when it comes to my nails or really anything I pay for but I really was not satisfied. As you can see in the picture alone the application of the acrylic wasn't done right it's literally lifting because it's on my skin also. The designs weren't consistent, and even the jewel on my right thumb is completely displaced. I really only gave 3 stars because she was very nice lady, but the quality wasn't there. It also took her like 30 minutes to do my nails which is quite fast. Her co worker even said that she normally takes at leSt an hour to do a full set and that Vivian really is fast.

    Mani-pedi

    I had not been to Orchid Nails since I moved from DC almost 10 years ago. The establishment looks the exact same :) as I remembered it. My friend gets her regular mani/pedis here and she took me for my birthday since I was visiting DC again. I had a great mani/pedi with the paraffin wax on both my hands and feet. That paraffin wax is so timely in the fall and winter months. I would patronized Orchid Nails again when visiting the District.

    This review is on services rendered by LINDA. She was amazing!! Great personality and customer service. She made sure I was comfortable while doing my pedicure and took her time. She takes pride in her work and is very meticulous. I wanted a specific design and she executed it flawlessly. I got a gel manicure with my natural nails and a spa pedicure. Ladies, book your appointment with Linda. You won't regret it!!

    Right for nail polish

    5-3-21 Update -- the salon reached out to me after my review to ask if I could come back for a free redo. Finally went back last Friday, May 28. Other than over filing ALL of the fingernails of my right hand (SMH), it was a pleasant experience. I had two different ladies work on me -- thus the over filing -- and Kathy finally took care of me. After less than a week, my gel nail polish is still hanging on, but the polish on my toes is already peeling off on one foot. Needless to say, I'm going to keep on looking for nail places.

    This is a week old.

    This was a great experience, well both times I went. The first time Wendy did my nails and the second time Vivian did them. I was satisfied both times! Both created a comfortable environment and open conversation; so it wasn't just me getting my nails done in silence. Both also suggested nail care for me and didn't push me to any services or pushed services on me that asked for more money. The second time I got powder overlay on my real names and the powder isn't think at all and looks very natural! Both times I went, COVID safety measures are being exercised. I live close by so I will definitely make this my new nail home!

    Kathy's nails!!
    Kisa D.

    Kathy always does any nail look that I want and adds her own spin on it!! She's the best!!

    These were done yesterday, we were rushed through the process and definitely at the expense of quality
    Lauren K.

    The only thing pleasant about our experience was Desire, my nail tech. We were rushed from the beginning, made to feel unwelcome and burdensome. My friends manicure chipped the SAME day, and when I woke up this morning mine are chipped to pieces as well. Her nail tech kept blaming it on the polish being too thin, but it was a really poor job. My nails looked nice, they just didn't last. If it wasn't for Desire we really wouldn't have an awful experience, but her personality and attention to detail made it worth it. My cuticles needed a lot of love and she gave it to them.

    Nails by Wendy

    Wendy My NailTech I love coming to this shop. It'spositives & family vibes !!! It's clean and all the nail techs are all professional. Go to Wendy very professional and fun personality. She can execute any nail styles u ask for. She the only person I allow to do my pedicures. I suffer from an ingrown toe nail(if anyone deals w/ this issue you'll understand how some nail tech dig&dig) Not Wendy she remove it so easily and insta pain relief I'm been going to her for years and it death do us part.

    Dip powder manicure
    Christine S.

    These ladies did a beautiful job on my nails and were hilarious. The place could use a little more aesthetic, but if you're just looking for a place to get well-done nails, this is it. I got a regular pedicure and a dip powder manicure

    They give the best dip powder manicures of any salon I have been to in the DMV region. The nails last up to two months which is amazing!

However, I do not know if I would bother coming back again due to a few reasons, but I would not try the same tech again. One, I noticed after the appointment that I had two cuts on separate cuticles from the tech trimming them back. Additionally, each of my cuticles were not given the same amount of attention. One particular finger stands out with the gap between the gel and my new growth being larger than the rest. I am aware that perhaps my nails grow unevenly, but I've gotten my nails done before and never had this issue so I think it's still worth noting. I also left the salon with unnoticed gel under my nail that I had to chisel off later. Lastly, at exactly the one week mark, the gel on one nail started lifting. That particularly upsets me because I'm worried about moisture and bacteria getting trapped so I had to remove the gel much sooner than anticipated. I work a desk job and genuinely don't do much with my hands so I am confident it wasn't anything I did. Overall, for $60, I expected better. I am honestly most disappointed because I was willing to support a salon with their values. Lastly, parking at the co-op is no longer free and hasn't been for at least a month. I wish their website would be updated.

I really liked the vibe of the salon and the fact that they use non-toxic materials. They also appear to treat their staff very well. However, they are a bit pricy for a gel+builder manicure but I was willing to bite the bullet on the price if the work matched the sticker price. Unfortunately it has not. I got my manicure on Friday late afternoon and by Sunday afternoon several of my nails are already chipped. There's no reason a gel manicure should be chipping/fading after 48 hours. I guess my search will continue.

It seems like Sundays are appointments only, but I could call ahead of time and ask if they were available, and gladly took me in.

I personally feel that there could be some minor renovations and improvements, but otherwise I think I found my new nail place and will be returning whenever I need to get my nails done!

Apparently, their standard is that a $125 set is only guaranteed for 5 days, which is ridiculous--and nowhere in the shop is that policy clearly posted. To make matters worse, when I went back, there was no accountability. No credit, no real solution--just a quick fix where the tech didn't even properly redo the nail and instead used Gel-X to stick it back on. It was obvious they didn't know how to recreate the original set. For the price, the quality, service, and professionalism did not match at all. Extremely disappointing experience. I won't be returning.

They don't take appointments on Fridays so you just gotta call to see what the wait is like or just have sheer luck with impeccable timing. I ended up with sheer luck on the impeccable timing. There were only two people working, a man and I woman, I assume they're the owners. While there were just two people working that may be because there's only two pedicure chairs and three pedicure stations. The polish selection is slim so I would suggest bringing your own color if possible. Also the pedicure chairs don't recline nor do the massage features work. The two individuals working were both nice. The woman did my pedicure while the male did my nails. Keep in mind I got a basic manicure and pedicure so I wasn't requiring much.

I had gotten long dipped nails a week ago from another place and it was just too impractical to keep. I wanted them removed and do shellac instead but they don't do shellac so I settled for gel.

Well worth it! I will be back. Tip: since there is only two technicians, highly suggest appointments. I came at a good time as when I left, two people were already waiting.
