    For many years I was in search of a nail salon that was capable of impeccable nail design. My friend recommended Shape of Nails a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back! Not only is the nail art beautiful, but the cleanliness, professionalism, and customer service is exceptional. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

    Meticulous manicure by Anastasia, I am happy with the result! FYI- be prepared it could take close to two hours for a gel manicure. My other go-to place it takes about an hour including gel removal and hand massage, so just something to be aware of when choosing an appt time. For first appointments, you will need to provide a CC number as they take a 50% deposit at the time of booking. Design: I chose a soft square shape with the Quartz color and silver shimmer. Very pretty!

    I've been going to Shape of Nails for 3 years. My first encounter was with Irina and I've been hooked ever since. Although shes busy, I try to snag one of the other top masters like Jamila or Maria. The russian manicure is different than a regular mani from the way they cut your cuticles to taking off the nail polish. It's much safer and it makes your nails looks amazing, lasting longer as well. I make sure I tell everyone about this place. Well worth the money. Make sure to book in advance, especially with a top master. They don't do walk ins. Russian manicure is the only way to go.

    Simply amazing! Great service from start to finish. Wonderful front desk people who greet you with coffee and treats, and a very talented staff doing manicures and pedicures. I moved to nova after living in NYC for 5 years and left a very good euro/russian nail salon, and I was very nervous to find a new place. Shape of nails has everything I need and (clearly) beautiful manicures. Nails by Alina - she's the owner, but you'd never know it by how down to earth she was. As I write this my manicure is almost a week old and there is no space, chips or cracks!

    This nail salon is QUALITY. I have been looking for a new nail salon for over a year and I'm so happy I have finally found one I love. I was attracted to Shape of Nails by the quantity of good reviews, customer pictures of pretty designs, and the responsiveness of the owner to reviewers. I booked an appointment for a pedicure with Nastia on Sunday and was so pleased with every aspect of my visit that I asked for a nail appointment the following day. Again, super pleased with everything! My technician Nastia was meticulous in her attention to detail. She was very gentle but thorough. Even several days later my nails, feet and cuticles look and feel as good as when I walked out of the salon. I was very impressed with the customer service, treatment, and artistry of this salon. Shape of Nails truly knows their craft.

    I've been going to shape of nails for about two years now. I've probably been with 6-7 nail techs with all amazing results. My work schedule was hectic so booking far in advance was tough but I knew whoever I could get would be amazing. However I have had several events I wanted special nails for - most recently our engagement photos. Asel has helped me with some of the most important nails for my milestones -- a new job, getting engaged, and soon to be my wedding. This nail salon is by far the best place I've been. Ownership is fantastic and you can tell how much Irena values the women that work there and her fantastic relationship with her clients. One thing I would love new clients to know is that your nails can take anywhere from 1.5 hours (for an experienced tech) to upwards of 3 hours for someone who is in training. However long your nails take they will be beautiful and for me my nails can last a month without chipping! The only reason I have to go back now for my nails is literally because of the grow out. They also have never been this healthy. I absolutely recommend shape of nails or their sister store Yolo Beauty Zone.

    The best manicures I've ever had have been from here. I've been twice, two different, nail techs, and both were very meticulous. The manicures take longer than other places I've been since they are so detailed. They really cleaned up my cuticles and dry skin making everything look so much better. I feel the gel polish they use is thicker, stronger and maybe higher quality than other places as well. Most of the ladies that work there speak very limited English so its best to come prepared with a good idea or visual of what you want done. The first gel manicure I got lasted just about 3 weeks til it started looking like it was really time to get it filled. I would love to continue to come back here regularly but the costs are quite expensive to keep up with ($65).

    Amazing service, great location and professional services. The girls do an amazing job, very clean place and sanitized equipment. The service starts at the front door, the moment they greet you, you know that you will be treated professionally and with respect.

    I had an wonderful experience at Shape of Nails with Irina. I was greeted with a clean and soothing atmosphere and super friendly staff (they offer drinks and some little snacks too)!! Irina took her time to understand how I wanted to look my frenchies, which is very rare to experience at other salons in DMV area. Not only her but also other masters seemed very meticulous and nice too! I left the salon feeling pampered, relaxed, and absolutely thrilled with my nails. If you're searching for a nail salon that combines skill, professionalism, and cleanness I definitely recommend to try them out!!

    I love how meticulous they are with your nails, ensuring they are perfect and that you leave happy. This isn't your typical nail salon, so expect to pay more, but you'll love the results. My girl, Chihiro, has been taking great care of me. Once you've experienced a Russian nail salon, you'll never want to go back to your old salon.

    Irina, the owner, reached out to me and personally fixed my nails. She was very apologetic and willing to rectify the situation which is what all customers hope for! She reassured me that some clients cuticles bled and/or get scabby and next time try some peroxide. My nails do look great and none have chipped and I'm going on week 4 next week!

    Enjoyed an amazing pedicure on a Saturday morning. The ladies who work here are very sweet and…read morefriendly. Phenomenal service and very relaxing.

    Giving it a four star review because my nail tech was very attentive and I walked out happy!…read more I've debated trying this salon out for years...it looks like a fancy spot and boasts its wide selection of colors. Since I recently found myself without a regular Salon, I said why not now?! Parked in the parking lot right adjacent from the entrance. Really quick from that lot and not far of a walk... plus so many options for a quick coffee before or after my appointment. Upon walking up to the salon, I had to do a double take because it almost looked like it was closed. Seemed like nobody was in there and I was a little nervous because of that. I hoped this would mean a very diligent job! I walked in and the salon was relatively large. They have an upstairs dedicated to facials or Wax, and a wide array of seating on the main floor. I learned that for acrylic tips and gel on top the flat rate was $75. I walked in knowing that I wanted to do a Valentines red mani and I was very pleased with their selections of red. I opted for OPI's apple red. I had booked for two nails of some kind of a design, but that was never brought up during my appointment. I'm between a three and a four star rating because my nails were not soaked, my cuticles were not removed or attended to. It was a very basic manicure overall, and that really left much to be desired. Also, for the price and the location of the salon, ( middle of Reston town center ) there were no beverages offered, and the staff seemed a little disorganized and not the most attentive to customer satisfaction. The second I walk in to a new establishment, I don't typically want to see outdated signs for Christmas nails and handwritten signs about no refunds or exchanges... Just kind of made me feel as though several people must have complained. Doesn't set a good impression upfront. When I showed the gentleman the shape I wanted he said that was a coffin shape, which it absolutely was not but regardless, even though I said, a little shorter, a little more narrow a few times throughout the 1.5 hour process, he was 100% able to give me what I wanted and maintained good disposition. He took a lot of time on the shaping in the length and even without utilizing a drill which I really appreciate it because sometimes the drill can become too much and you feel the heat... especially after getting manicures pretty often and people leaving them weak and thin! I walked away with a very nicely done red manicure. So for that reason, I gave it four stars, and while I will not be returning, I certainly am not an unhappy customer.
