I had a great impromptu pedicure experience at Sandy Nails yesterday. My best friend and I decided to get our nails done together last minute and we had a wonderful time together. The salon is pretty spacious once you step inside. The parking garage is right around the corner. It's free on the weekends. The waiting time was minimal and my nail technician was very efficient. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes. My feet felt and looked so much better so QUICKLY. It was mind blowing. You know what else was mind blowing too at this day and age? The pedicure here is only $32 plus tips! That's right! This place is in the middle of downtown Bethesda and only charges $32 for tips!! Unreal steal!! Sure the salon interior might look a bit dated but the chairs have good massage and the technicians are wonderful. I have zero complaints! Looking forward to returning again in the future!

Adorable chairs for your child

I will NEVER return. First time I have been here and I came for eyebrows. First of all, the whole place smells weird. And not even like a nail salon. Second of all, I got my eyebrows done and SHE RIPPED MY SKIN OFF WOTH THE WAX! There are two sections, one larger than the other and it burns, even with water. Also, she used scissors instead of tweezing, never seen that either. I have never ever had this happen to me at any salon I have been to, across the country. Do yourself a favor and do not give them your money.

I have never left a negative review for any business in my life, but this experience was so bad I had to create a Yelp account. I have been going to Sandy Nails since 2017 considered it the best nail salon in Bethesda. Ownership recently changed and it wasn't what it was, but it was OK. Pedicure was mediocre, but dip manicure was terrible. Problem started when I questioned if the color she was using matched the color I had chosen. It wasn't and then the technician got an attitude, owner tried to convince me it was a "better" color, and instructed her to blend two colors in an attempt to correct it. I didn't have time to start over so I resigned myself to live with the color. Technician proceeded to take another client while my nails were drying, refused to wash off the chemicals leftover from my removing my previous dip manicure - no hand massage, no cuticle trim, nothing. When I asked her about how to get my hands clean she rudely told me to wash them off myself - and there was no hot water to even get chemicals off. Photo shows my hands after a $45+ manicure. PS This is same ownership as Nail Studio across the street, so beware of them as well.

Three chairs for kids total and you can sit next to your child.

Yelp - please implement a 0 star rating! It was a horrible experience. Settle in for this one. I live and work near Bethesda. I usually go to L'Avee Nail Spa at lunchtime, and I like it. My 8 year old daughter wanted to have a pedi with me. I was excited to see Sandy Nails had chairs for kids, and it was highly rated. My daughter was ridiculously excited for her first pedi with mommy! We arrived and were essentially ordered to the back of the store. The chairs for kids were cute. First, her pedi. They dipped her foot in water without having them soak or use the foot bath/ Jacuzzi foot feature, pulled her feet out, quickly cut her toenails and painted. It would have been less than 10 minutes, but she was looking forward to the foot massage because I had been saying that is the best part of the pedi. They barked at me that the massage is a dollar a minute. I said fine, do five minutes. Meanwhile my daughter is watching everything they're doing for me and disappointed they weren't doing the same for her. Oh and to keep her toes apart, she tore off a piece of paper towel that was dirty (had other nail polish colors on it) and weaved it around her toes. Now to my pedi. Also rushed. This was a first - my foot was dipped into hot water, pulled out immediately, and the scrubbing of my heels began. I have never had my heels exfoliated BEFORE my feet had soaked. Water was drained almost immediately. Toenails were cut and filed so poorly that they were jagged. I had to file again at home. We both ended up with a lot of nail polish on our skin. And I'm sitting here with gross, rough heels. From the other reviews I've read - Mindy strikes again. She was awful. Ditto for the front desk staff and the woman who did my daughter's nails. It was very pricey for the little service we got. I'm disappointed and disgusted.

I walked in for a full set and had great work done. I love my nails My technician was super detail oriented and gave me the shape I wanted. Would definitely go here again.

Do they take credit cards?

Yes but the cost for service with credit is higher I think.

The owner (Peter) introduced himself to me and proceeded to give the best pedicure and gel manicure I've ever had.
