    Mimi was wonderful ! He took his time and I will be back ! Please come check them pit

    My latest gel manicure.
    Beth S.

    Clean and stylish decor. I've had good experiences with all the technicians for both manicures and pedicures. I really like that I see them take the tools out of sealed plastic. That hasn't been my experience with other salons in the area.

    Uneven nail cuts with paint that starts above the cuticle
    Kelley K.

    This is a bummer. I've been here a few times now and while the place looks great, is exceptionally clean, and comfortable, the actual product (in my case a pedicure) is subpar. I'm attaching photos of my pedicure today and you can see that only part of my little toe nails were painted, while my big toe has paint in my skin and the nails unevenly cut. This lack of attention to detail has been my experience at Serenity over all, but do to its location, I have kept trying just hoping that at the next appointment I would meet the right technician. I probably should have complained about this last pedicure but I had already wasted so much time and wanted to get out of there. At this point though I think it is time for me to find another place that likes repeat business.

    Excessive nail polish that wasn't bothered to be removed.

    Very disappointed. I have been a loyal customer to this salon for a few years now. Although I can't complain about my regular nail tech who always does a wonderful job. My visit on November 21st was very disappointing and upsetting. I called the day of to request a gel full set and the owner informed me that they did not have a full staff that day but that her husband was able to take us in with no problem. Now since I did have my brothers wedding the day of I was in desperate need to get my nails done. I did appreciate her getting both myself and my friend in the same day. The service and experience I got from her husband was not what I expected. He started with my friend on her full set and then continued with my full set. He was not attentive to what I had requested at all. I felt like he was rushing through the service as if he had somewhere to be. Here are my complaints.. 1) He did not even give us the option of the shape of the nail.. he went right off to start with a coffin shape which by the time I realized it was too late so I did not say anything. 2) The size of the tips for certain nails didn't seem to be the correct size for that specific nail 2) Some of the nails were overfilled by the acrylic powder. 3) The nail polish wasn't fully painted on the whole nail as it should be which made the nails look like it was 3 weeks in already. 4) There was effort to clean up the area of leftover nail polish on my hands I didn't realize all of this until I left the salon and since I had my brothers wedding the day of I didn't have time to actually complain in person until 2 days later. Now I did make an appointment after the incident on December 18th given the fact that my regular tech was back but I thought since the owner was aware of the disappointment in the previous visit she would come and apologize and correct the problem. She did not offer any type of reimbursement or compensation which did not show good customer service at all. I was able to bare with their overpriced services only because of my nail tech doing a wonderful job. Now although I will miss her very much but with the lack of detail to customer service I do not see myself coming back. I no longer recommend this place.

    Fruit and iced lemon water

    Yelp came through...again... I love my nail place in Fairfax but had read such good reviews about Serenity Nails & Spa, and this place is a tad closer to me. It was also easy to get a very last minute appt so off I went! The space is awesome. It's different compared to the plethora of nails places in the area. When I walked in, I saw small spaces of pedi loungers. It was not a big room filled with a long line of pedicure loungers. This place has their sectioned off in separate areas. There are 4-6 chairs in each section. I feel like it's a bit more intimate and private. They also have a VIP room( 4 chairs and a private area with a glass door) that you can book for an extra $10 a person, you add it to your pedicure selection(pedi priced from $35 on up depending on what kind of scrub, organic treatments, etc). They have a big menu of services just for pedicures. I was impressed by the offer of fruit and beverages(sodas, water all served in nice glasses). They use timers here because they advertise about $1 a minute, and want to make sure you get your full treatment. It's a cool concept. My pedi was awesome. I added the salt scrub for an addition $5. I also had some fancy painting done. They took their time and made sure everything was pristine. Each staff member was friendly, accommodating and patient. I'd definitely come back again although I will miss the hot stone and neck massages (complimentary) from my other place.

    New plexiglass windows for safety, however I don't think they are low enough
    Kristen S.

    Eh, they as many nail salons do is try to up sell but they are already so expensive. $38 for a pedicure, and that's the lowest option. They now only take apps or cash for payment, no cc use. I appreciate the attempts in social distancing and added safety measures but I'll try another salon to find the best one for me

    Hot tea served!
    Nomin D.

    I've been coming here several times now... and just over it! I come here because of the convenience and the availability of associates without appointments. However, it is starting to feel like it's not worth it anymore. I pay $35 to get my gel manicure down but in 5 days, the polish start to chip away! It does not happen with other places! It happened to me last few times too! And even one time, the entire polish came off at once while I was on vacation. That polish was only on there for 4 days at the time. I'm not paying $35 to keep my gel polish for 5 days! It's suppose to last me at least 2 weeks! Not quality service!!!

    My first visit to serentity per a friend's recommendation. I set up an appointment and saw Loan. She was very good, detail oriented and took her time ensuring that I was happy with my final product. The ambience is amazing, the moment you walk into the salon you get a sense of tranquility. It wasn't too busy and social distancing is no problem. I will definitely be coming back to

    I have been seeing my nail tech Mimi for the past 10 years, and have him followed him to Serenity which is by far the best salon he's been at. Mimi is so talented and always does a phenomenal job! I cannot recommend Mimi or Serenity more! Seriously - Mimi is such a wonderful nail tech and I'm always receiving compliments on my fun nails thanks to him!

    My friend and I were so excited to try this place because of the high reviews and limited places…read moreto select from in the area. We did the sauna and facials. Well needless to say, we will be on the hunt for a better spot- FOR SURE. Here's what our feedback was to the establishment since they asked, and I decided to share here in case it's helpful to anyone thinking about going here: "The overall experience was disappointing and did not meet the standards expected of a professional wellness or spa environment. The walk between buildings felt awkward and disjointed, and the areas where services were provided were visibly unclean. This immediately detracted from the sense of calm and comfort that clients typically seek when booking spa services. The sauna instructions were overly complicated and nonintuitive. Rather than supporting a seamless, stress-free experience, the setup required unnecessary effort and attention at a time when guests should be able to arrive, decompress, and enjoy the service. One of the facials was particularly concerning. The provider fell out of her chair during the session, left the room for approximately 15 minutes within the allotted service time, and complained openly about missing supplies that had not been ordered. Her presentation and behavior appeared impaired or otherwise not fully attentive, which was alarming in a setting where professionalism, focus, and client safety are expected. There were also sanitation concerns. Gloves were not worn during the sessions- in particular extractions & close facial work, which raised hygiene and safety questions. Given the nature of skincare treatments and direct contact with facial areas, adherence to clear sanitation protocols is critical. Both facials were performed below expected standards. Product application felt careless rather than intentional for both clients. Creams were applied in a manner that resulted in product entering the nostril area for both clients. In one instance, the technician had to awkwardly clean the inside of a nostril during the service, which was unexpected and uncomfortable (and something never experienced prior). In the other facial, cream entered the nostril and remained there throughout the session, creating concern about inhalation; the client ultimately had to clean it out herself after the session. This experience was distracting and far from relaxing. Additionally, massage and sculpting techniques reflected a noticeable lack of refinement and training, particularly for clients accustomed to higher-quality services. Overall, the experience lacked attentiveness, professionalism, cleanliness, and the level of care expected in a premium setting."

A family member asked what they could get me and I said I'd love a massage. It was my part to do the research and find where I wanted to go. I've done the ultra luxe massages at the Four Seasons and I've also done Massage Envy. It's really the masseuse that makes the difference. I looked for best local massages near me and found Serendipity. Reading through the profiles of the massage therapists I was intrigued by Tonya, mainly for what I interrupted as would be a hard massage experience. My muscles definitely needed a hard touch, not just a relaxing massage. I appreciated the extra attention to the sore spots I noted. The process upon arrival was unclear. It was about 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment time that I made contact with an employee and was immediately helped. I'd return again in the future and recommend Tonya to anyone not afraid of a more pronounced touch to the massage.

I also couldn't help noticing that I was treated differently than my friends, who are white -- I can't say for certain why, but it's something I noticed and want to be transparent about. Given how rushed and incomplete the service was, I chose not to tip. When I raised the issue with the manager (Ashley) , I was met with a dismissive "oh" and nothing more -- no apology, no effort to address it. I would not recommend Aura Day Spa. Equal service shouldn't be a surprise -- it should be the standard, and that's where I'll spend my money!!!

We were warmly welcomed, and they brought us to a shared room (not private) for the scalp scan. The actual analysis was SUPER quick, maybe 10 seconds, and they simply told me my scalp was clean. The staff didn't speak English, so even when I tried asking follow-up questions about my scalp condition, I wasn't able to get any clear answers. We booked a 90-minute couple's room, and the service started with a foot massage followed b a surprisingly long shoulder and neck massage. I did't time it, but it was long enough that I started wondering if I had accidentally booked a different treatment--in the best way! It was genuinely relaxing and definitely one of the highlights. The scalp massage and deep cleansing potion was soothing and felt amazing. One thing to be aware of is that the treatment completely relaxed the curl from my perm I've gotten 4 months ago and made my hair noticeably straighter. My sister loved it because it looked like she got a straight perm, but I was honestly shocked when my curls "disappeared." Overall, it was a relaxing and unique experience with some communication challenges and a few surprises. Still, worth trying at least once if you are curious about head spas!
