They charge me more, I showed the girl how I wanted my nails and she didn't make them like that, I told her about it and she said it's because I got acrylic instead of gel like what ‍never coming back. I wish I would see the reviews before I get in /:

First time Lynn did my SNS Dip manicure

I've been going here for 2.5 years now - and still my favorite spot. Lynn does an amazing job at dip manicures and is always happy to help you find the color you're looking for or make suggestions. She shapes my nails exactly how I like them, and I'm in and out in about 45 minutes - which I love!

I get my nails done here regularly and all the staff are amazing! My nails last 3-4 weeks no chipping! Today I saw Lynn and she did beautiful dip nails and got me in and out fast because she knew that's what I wanted! This salon is really the best!

Walked into this salon on Tuesday afternoon and waited about 10 minutes to get serviced. I was greeted upon arrival. The salon is very clean, about 8 pedicure chairs and 8-10 nail stations. Only three ladies were working and they had a steady flow going. I decided to do SNS and picked color "S5". I am not sure of the tech's name but she did a wonderful job and took her time. She did use the buffing tool a lot as opposed to picking at my cuticles. Free Parking is available in the back of the salon. I would definitely come back to this place. They offer a lot of services. Remember to also bring cash, up to 5% off your service ! It was originally $50 -- && I paid $47.

T In the past I saw Lynn and she did beautiful dip nails and got me in and out fast because she knew that's what I wanted! Today Christine did the most beautiful Barbie nails for me and made sure I was 100% happy!!! This salon is really the best!

20+ bubbles on my thumb nail on the first day.

Stay away from this place if it's the last nail salon open on Earth. Got a gel manicure on Saturday morning right before I went out of town. By Saturday afternoon, 9/10 fingers have a MULTITUDE of bubbles in the polish. I call back and the technician asks me to send pictures and tells me that since the gel isn't peeling, "she can't do anything for me and everyone else gets their nails done and there aren't issues". $45 and she tells me there's nothing she can do AND LAUGHS. Make sure you always spend your money where it's even SOMEWHAT valued. Look at the pictures, and no, it didn't look like this when I left the salon.

I live in DC and travel over to Alexandria for this nail salon. The people here are really nice, professional, and do good work. I always get a simple full acrylic set with gel and a gel pedicure. They're really clean and always bring out a fresh set of tools. Really underrated spot and more people should go here!!

I love this place! I've been here twice, once at 10am and once at 1pm. Both times, I was able to get in & out without waiting. Both time staff members were very nice. This time, a guy did my nails & while he wasn't feeling great, he was really detail-oriented when it came to my nails. The location is a plus! The ambience is very quiet and peaceful. I loved the pedicure chairs & that the staff gave us bottles of water. I also love that they have a variety of options of additions to boost your pedicures. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the parking can sometimes be very limited. Also, I felt bad that I wasn't able to leave a tip for staff on my credit card. I don't typically carry cash. I do typically tip, but was unable to due to the "No gratuity on the card" rule. Definitely recommend this shop!

Natalia is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at skincare. I have had many estheticians here in…read moreNOVA and in California. Natalia, is the best by far and I have not gone to anyone else since discovering her! My skin is very complicated getting dry in some places, oily and clogged in others. She knows exactly how to cleanse and clean my skin for vibrant and healthy results. Her spa is incredibly clean and her protocol for keeping her equipment and supplies are also very thorough. I am thrilled I found her and will never go anywhere else. My skin finally found a home! Thank you, Natalia : )

I've had prior experiences at different places that tinted them way too dark, almost black, as well as tinted way too light that you couldn't even tell I had anything done to them at all. During my appointment I informed Natalia of this and she said she knew exactly what to do. She explained that light brown would be too light for me and dark brown can appear black sometimes, especially with my skin/hair. She explained that she would mix colors and come up with something that worked for me. And she nailed it!! A true expert, I absolutely recommend her!

Pretty good experience - a little on the fence…read more I was presented a gift card to the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon. It had been some time since I received a massage, so I was looking forward to this visit! There is a parking garage conveniently located next to the spa, so that was great. The staff at the entrance promptly greeted me and asked if it was my first time. The process of checking in and getting around was simplified by them taking the time to walk me where I needed to go rather than just telling me, which was appreciated. I was walked to the area where I changed into a robe and was subsequently accompanied to the massage area. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of stairs, something that my knee and foot surgeries did not appreciate. It was a little awkward to sit in a small, public waiting area wearing a robe but it's a minor sacrifice. I had a massage with Audrey, who was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to ask me about my concern areas and my goals for the massage. The massage itself was good, though I unfairly compare massages to my former therapist who was exceptional. Audrey was very communicative and, even for someone who finds it difficult to relax, it was a good experience. Overall, The Sugar House Day Spa is worth a visit - it's also worth purchasing a gift card for someone. They will appreciate it! (NOTE: you can use the funds from the gift card to supplement a tip)

Basically, Sugar House changed their gift card policy a year after my purchase and will not honor…read moremy gift card. Interestingly enough, when I asked to speak to the owner who offered me $50 on my card, I was told she wasn't available (Wait, you JUST spoke to her.) and I wasn't allowed to know her full name for correspondence because that was "inappropriate." I am trying to give them the opportunity to do the right thing, but it's not looking promising.
