    Definitely one of the best nail salons in the DMV area. They do great quality Russian Manicure that last ~5 weeks. Additionally, they are able to do amazing designs. I have been going there for about a year now. Absolutely love the girls and the quality of manicure they do.

    This has been my nail spot since last year and I don't know why it took me so long to post a review! I love Rose Nail Bar!!! By far the best nail salon I've ever gone to. Had pedicures in the past as well but normally go for the BIAB refills. No matter what tech I get, they always leave me feeling so happy with the outcome. They are all so talented, take the time to clean your nails, cuticles, etc and are all so very nice. They also always have something playing in the background in case you want to watch, always entertaining. Highly recommend! I come from DC but not a bad drive at all. So worth it! Just take a look at my photos.

    The unprofessionalism of the owner, Rose T., and non-stop harassment by her has made me reconsider the entire review I have given. She has contacted my personal cell phone, personally messaged me here and now left another comment. Stop contacting me. I don't know you nor plan to patronize your business again in the future.

    Like everyone else, I found Rose Nail Bar on Instagram and am SO happy I did. I don't usually cross state lines if I can help it, but this salon is worth the trek into Arlington for! The owner, Rose, is a delight, but all of the nail techs were kind and did amazing work--everyone getting their nails done kept showing them off to one another because we were all so excited and impressed. I bite my cuticles when I'm stressed, and that makes getting manicures embarrassing and sometimes painful. My nail tech, Amy, was incredibly kind and careful to make my comfortable--not only making sure I wasn't actively bleeding or in pain but also by not shaming me. She used the teeniest brush to make my nail dreams come true, and they look AMAZING. I probably wouldn't do such an intricate design for any old time, but since these are for a special occasion and upcoming trip, it was worth the time for me (and, I hope, for her!) to get something really special and to feel good about my nails, despite my stress habit!

    I know this review is going to make it even harder for me to book with Rose but if you're looking for a Russian manicure, BIAB gel AND awesome nail art-- look no further! My nails will last for 4-5 weeks with no chips/breakage. All of the girls are talented but Rose (the owner) is my fave! Easy parking, prompt service, convenient online booking. Check out their IG @_rosenailbar_ for inspiration and make your appointment soon!

    I'm absolutely in love with this place! Oda is amazing--she always takes my ideas and turns them into something beautiful on my nails. But honestly, no matter who you see, they'll always take great care of you and your nails. My nails have never been as strong as they are since I started coming here. Every time I get them done, they last over a month, and I always get compliments. So grateful I found this place to call my go-to nail spot!

    Three manicures I've had there. Last weeks (roughly 6-7 weeks for me).

    One of the best, if not best, manicure salon ever. They do BIAB (builder gel in a bottle brand line) and I put my nails through the ringer. Despite the heavy duty work, my manicure didn't chip, nothing remotely close to looking raggedy. Biggest problem I had was dulling of the top coat but that was on me because I was rough on my nails and hands. It's a dry manicure and while that was not something I was used to, it is actually way better. Removal process was gentle on my nails and no acetone was used. They're a very busy shop and appointments are tough to snag (they do require a card on file) but this place is worth their weight in gold. I got Amy and her attention to detail is amazing. I get simple colors and nothing too fancy, but their time and attention to providing a clean manicure is perfect. Parking is very difficult if the lot is full, and you can't park in some of the residential areas behind them, so plan accordingly. Overall, it's an excellent place. It is pricey and booking can be confusing but they're happy to help you book accordingly if you just ask. I don't usually cross state lines but I drive an hour to this shop which their work is worth my time!

    I have been going to Rose for years now, and would never consider going to another nail tech. Her skills and creativity are unmatched, especially in the DMV. She is so attentive to detail, speedy, and open to trying new fun designs. I have never been able to explore all of my crazy nail design ideas and see them perfectly executed with previous techs. I have also never been to a salon where they shape and clean up my cuticles so beautifully. Rose also really values natural nail health and it shows- my nails have never been so long and strong (coming from a previous acrylic nail addict). Rose and her entire team are kind, patient, attentive, respectful, and crazy talented/creative. Rose has worked so hard to build this salon and deserves all the praise! She has become a good friend of mine over the years, and I cannot recommend her salon more. This was previously "Royal Essence," which is not to be confused with the new management under Rose. Give Rose and her team a shot, you will not regret it!

    My sister recommended Rose Nail Bar and I have never been disappointed any of the times I have gotten my nails done. The nail techs make visions come to reality and all of the designs that I have had made great conversation starters. From Black Panther to Can't Stop Won't Stop (my company name) to Pride and even one that matched fabric for a suit, the themes, creativity and inspiration has no bounds. If you're looking for a place to get your nails done (manicures and pedicures), check them out! Highly recommend!

    My Go-To Nail Salon for Stunning Nails! I've followed Rose from DC to Arlington and am a die hard fan/customer of her salon. Her salon is my ultimate go-to place for top-notch nail services and stunning nail designs! Their expertise in applying builder gel is unmatched. My nails are the healthiest they've ever been and because of the builder gel they grow even faster. Each tech is trained and knows how to skillfully apply and sculpt the gel, resulting in durable, strong nails. I'm also obsessed with the Russian dry manicure technique they've mastered. My cuticles are always perfect and I don't ever have to worry about hang nails or dry cuticles as my nails grow. I must commend the salon's extensive nail design options as well. From delicate floral patterns to bold geometric shapes, their creativity knows no bounds. The attention to detail in every nail design is awe-inspiring, and I always receive compliments on my nails wherever I go. There are obviously levels of nail design associated with each tech but each tech is continuing to train and advance their nail design skills. Because of that you can book with any of them and get the best nails and design no matter what! These girls are the best! The salon is so cute and cozy with lots of natural light. Hygiene is never compromised and there is plenty of room so you don't feel cramped. They also ensure a clean and safe environment for customers. Bathroom is so adorable and great for selfies/nailfies. For anyone seeking the best nails ever then go to Rose Nail Bar. Her dedicated team, welcoming atmosphere, and unwavering commitment to quality have made them my favorite and only nail salon I'll go to. Treat yourself to a visit and experience the magic firsthand. You'll leave with nails that are not only stunning but also a true reflection of your unique style!

    Come here for my nails every month! The care that is taken to prep your nails is unparalleled and really helps the manicure to last. I really get all the value out of having beautiful nails for weeks, even after a month people have complimented my nails (like I had just gotten it done). The design work is simply amazing, esp fine details, she really nails it.

    I've been going to Rose for my nail care over 2 years. This came after trying to find a quality nail salon in the area that 1. met my standards of cleanliness 2. the ability to execute the services I desire 3. Didn't rush through my service like I've encountered at so many other salons. Rose has lived up my standards. Her attention to detail and level of perfection in the artistry is amazing. She also really does care about nail health and client satisfaction. Rose has also trained her staff to execute services like her and they also do an incredible job. Since going to Rose Nail Bar, I've recommended people who are now clients, as well.

    I've been one of Rose's clients for the last three years. She's the most talented nail artist Ive ever had the chance to work with. Rose is professional, kind, and takes great pride in her craft. The other nail artists are well trained and very talented as well. And the salon is clean and well maintained. If you are looking for perfect Russian manicures and precise nail art/designs, this is the best salon in the DMV.

I had to fly into town unexpectedly which means my usual eye lash appt had to be rescheduled. I called around 9:30a, spoke with Sharon and made an appointment for 1pm. I explained that it would be a foreign fill. I do volume lashes. She said that was fine. Until I arrived.... I guess she didn't like me questioning how exactly a 2 week volume fill was going to cost me $165 (not including tip). My problem is not with the price itself. My problem is the number of inaccuracies she continued to spew when it boiled down to, she just didn't want to do the work. Language barrier or not, I made sure to reiterate, "so to be clear, it isn't that you can't do it, it's just that you don't want too..." and she said "yeah, no, I don't want to". So there's that. Considering I drove almost an hour and had to then rush to find another lash technician, I decided to sit in the lobby & do so. I mean, it's not like she was doing anything other than sitting and pretending to flip thru the schedule book. According to Sharon, despite them using "Xtreme" lashes, they wouldn't have my curl, length, etc. Make that make sense.

She did a very good job of making sure she showed me pictures and understood what I wanted. The full set takes about 2 hours. The owner MiMi, contacted me via text about 2 weeks later to see if I was ready for a fill. There was some back and forth about the date and time and in the end I just kind of, popped up at the shop. Mimi had someone come in to assist me. I wasn't 100 percent pleased with my fill (the technician did what I requested but I wasn't prepared for the dramatic change and panicked!) I communicated that I wasn't sure I liked this particular look to MiMi later on that night. She contacted me the next morning to schedule me to come back in so that she could revise my lashes. I actually ended up seeing Emmy (Mimi herself wanted to assist me but due to a scheduling conflict, I requested and earlier appt and Emmy was available)... she was awesome(again!). The lashes have amazing staying power. You could probably go 3 to 4 weeks before you NEED a fill in, albeit with a few lashes gone. Emmy is now the only technician I will book. She is super sweet and will make sure you are happy! Emmy and Mimi, your customer service is A++++!
