Kate is phenomenal, does meticulous work. Your nails will look like they grew out of the nail bed in beautiful color naturally, magically, and will look fresh weeks longer than a regular manicure. read more

I was considering this place but the prices are insane. $265 for gel mani & reg pedi. Reg mani by a novice $45. Hard pass, can easily get it done for $120 by the owner and lasts 3 weeks https://shapeofnails.com/price/ read more

My favorite place on Earth for so many years now! Master Maria always does wonders with my nails and can create virtually any design. I'm also very pleased with the front desk ladies -- they're always polite and make the best coffee. read more

The best nails salon in the DMV hands down! The expertise and attention to detail is like no other. Mariia has been my nail technician for a long time and has always exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for Ukrainian style nail services, all of the technicians are phenomenal! read more

I can only describe each visit to this nail salon as perfection. Everyone who works there is very polite and professional. Adele is my favorite. Prior to going there, I had never been able to grow my nails. Now they have to be trimmed at each visit and they never break. The gel strengthening treatment is the best. read more

I love everything about this place. I've been a customer for almost two years. Highly recommend Ramona and Paola but all the ladies there as great. So grateful I found this place. read more

Love this place! I have recommended all of my friends here and everyone loves how long the manicures last!!!

Soma did my mani and Anastasia did my pedi. I didn't book either lady online I booked two different techs but it was fine because they were priced the same amount. I did not like how at the end of my service the receptionist implied that I should be tipping more for the paid for services. I thought it was rude and nor did I feel guilt to do so. The place is overpriced and the service was subpar. read more

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! read more

Shape of Nails - Soft square shape with quartz color and silver shimmer - Nail Salons Near Me - Reston, Virginia

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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). read more

3 years ago i moved to Virginia and was desperately Looking for a proper nail salon. I came to Maria with nails that were bruised and destroyed from a different salon. She brought my nails back to life and that's when i realized that i would never go another salon. Very clean salon and I have never had a nail issue since. I remember one time my nail broke and she took me in the next day and fixed it. Not only is she amazing with the care/design of my nails, she's a pleasure to talk to. I have no problem gossiping with her, and look forward to my appointments! I get compliments on my nails ALL the time too! read more

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!! read more

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.

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! read more

One of my best friends recommended shape to me about 2 years ago and said, "it's called shape of nails because they literally change the shape or your nails." I didn't understand what she meant until I started coming here. My nails are stronger and longer than ever. It's a shock to me that my own nails can even look like this. There are no chemicals used, it's all done dry. Prior to coming here, my gel manicure would last maybe 10 days and my nails were so brittle. Now, this manicure lasts a month and doesn't peel. The designs are amazing. The ladies are so friendly. I have recommended Shape of Nails to at least 15 people - all of which have come and said they will never go anywhere else. These women are incredible at their craft. No detail goes missed. Plus, the owner is a woman and is such a badass. I love ya, Irina! Keep killing it read more

manicure with Anastasia was great and one of the best manicures I have had. She was kind and polite and the reason I am giving the review higher than a 1 star. The difficulty was at the check out process. I booked for a mani/pedi, which I assumed would be 2 hours. When I realized that my manicure took 2 hours by itself....I advised the front desk that I would need to rebook my pedi...they looked ate like I was crazy and asked if no one told me that the manicure would be that long. I advised that it was my first time at their shop and they didn't care and charged me 50% for the pedicure. I was a bit upset because I had no clue. I paid the 50% cancellation fee and just advised that I would not rebook for the next day and i told myself i will never return to this shop read more

Shape of Nails - After a month still strong and beautiful thank u shape of nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I wanted to adore Shape of Nails because their work featured on Yelp and Instagram are super pretty, and their location is close to me, but unfortunately, my experience was simply okay. For the price you pay here, you should be ecstatic with how your nails turn out (which looks like the majority of their customers are, but again, it wasn't my personal experience)! I booked my appointment months in advance and sent them reference pictures for a flame design that I wanted done (their text-to-book system is very convenient, by the way; love that!). Closer to the date, something came up and I had to change it to a day earlier. No problem - they told me Jamila was available. I asked if she would be able to do the flame designs I had initially sent and they said yes. Ok, everything sounded good. I arrived at the salon, which is actually in a building with a bunch of different businesses, so you have to ring the door by calling SoN to get in. The only problem is that "Shape of Nails" is not listed in the call list, and that the name you should actually call is listed under "Irina," the owner. However, no one had told me this, so I couldn't get in using the call system and had to knock on the glass so someone who happened to be waiting in the lobby could let me in. Awkward start. So finally, I got into the salon and I got situated with Jamila. We decided to do a combination of light blue and dark blue flames, with a neutral color as the background. Everything up until the actual flame painting was fine; I was surprised at how much she carved out of my cuticle area, and the burning from the UV lamps was new (but fine if I took my hands in and out of the lamp at regular intervals), so it was fine but I was still a little tense throughout the appointment because of the possibility of some pain. The weird thing happened when it was time to paint the flames. Jamila simply could not do them. I had the initial reference picture pulled up onto my phone for her to copy, and she couldn't do it. She would try to paint something, look at it, decide she didn't like it, and then wipe it off before I could even look at her attempt. I think this literally happened for 30 minutes straight. It was just so strange considering the simplicity of the design (I've posted pictures) as well as the fact that it was RIGHT THERE for her to copy. I had even made sure to ask if she could do it when I changed the date of my appointment, so the realization that she couldn't do it was totally unexpected for me. Eventually, I ended up with something that looked more like lightning bolts than flames. The quality of the manicure itself was great, and the design looked interesting enough. Ultimately, though, it wasn't what I came in and paid for. Of course they asked me at the end of my appointment if I liked my nails, but I wasn't going to say "no" after sitting there for 2 hours and the entire salon was listening to me. So I left, ambivalent, because on the one hand the quality of the manicure was excellent and the design I ended up with was cool, but on the other, it just wasn't what I had envisioned. I stared at my nails all night and eventually contacted SoN and asked if I could come in for an adjustment the following day. Irina was able to see me and do some complimentary damage control so the design could resemble flames a little more. I am grateful for this, but overall, for a salon whose bio on Instagram is "We don't like boring nails, we get sad," I expected a simple design like this to be executed perfectly on the first try. read more

I wanted to check out this place so badly! All the hype around this salon is well-deserved. The manicures offered here are very different from regular salons in the area. They pay attention to every single finger. Forget about foil and carton that ruin your nails. Shape of Nails specializes in "non-boring nails". I opted to do a regular gel manicure and it was awesome. Alina is very nice and thorough. Definitely worth the drive and every penny. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I decided to try it out when a friend mentioned she heard they were good. I couldn't get an appointment right away, which immediately read as a good sign to me. If your hair girl or nail girl can take you immediately, she's not very good. Let's be serious. Having a bit of a wait and needing to be proactive for an appointment? They're probably good. Prices were great, on par with all the other salons in town, if not more reasonable, so I figured I would give it a shot. They take appointments via social media and text, which I also loved, because I can do that while I'm multi-tasking. They asked for a photo in advance of what I wanted to do, which I loved because I like crazy nails, so I wanted to be sure they could do what I wanted. I purposely picked something relatively simple, but they said no problem. When I arrived, the salon is inside a loft studio with other vendors, so it can be confusing to find, but once I did, the salon itself is small, clean and bright. I was greeted, sat down and introduced to Karina, my new nail goddess. She was super friendly, looked at the photo, asked me if I wanted to pick out colors, and got to work. This is NOT your average gel manicure. As I am typing away, my current gel manicure (the leopard one in my photos) is almost 4 weeks old. No chips, no cracks, just some growth of the nails, but it looks FLAWLESS still. A typical gel on me lasts MAYBE two weeks, but these seem to last forever. They do this thing where they put a clear blob of stuff on your nails, you flip your hand over and then do one finger at a time before painting your nails, and whatever that is is the ultimate godsend for your manicure. Normally my nails are cracking and chipping and peeling off after about 10 days, but this stuff prevents the cracks and chips and makes my manicures last way longer than they should. It also takes awhile, so this is not a place to go when you're in a time crunch, but like....WORTH IT. I have now been going to Karina religiously for a few months now and she is officially the best manicurist I have ever been to and I will sooner cut off my hand than let someone else touch them. My nails have never been healthier, never looked more fabulous and I adore her. Shape of nails is AMAZING. read more

Asel is amazing! She is always so professional and confident. I have gone in with some very complicated design ideas and she has pulled them off better than I could have expected. What I also adore about her is how she will tell you when an idea might not work, but also help you to come up with something that will. Being on trend is really important to me, and she is really good at advising. I teach 8th grade, and my 14 year old girls always swoon! So I know she is doing something right for this 40 year old teacher. I've seen really beautiful designs from many of the artists there as well. Definitely check this place out. read more

To my humble opinion, this is the best manicure/pedicure place I've ever been to. I am very particular when it comes to my appearance (as every woman is). I changed countless locations in the past because a suboptimal 20min manicure that will damage your nails permanently is not my go to. The girls at Shape of Nails conversely are knowledgeable, carrying and professional. They won't destroy your nails in acetone or file half of your nail plate to the afterlife. Definitely worth driving 45 min through the toll road! For those, looking for a quality mani/pedi look for no more. You officially have found your perfect shape of nails :) read more

Shape of Nails - Manicure from Lena - Nail Salons Near Me - Reston, Virginia

A close friend of mine recommended that I go to the salon as I have been doing my nails for a few years, but was having some difficulty due to recent surgery. The first time I went, the nail tech was over 15 minutes late to my appointment. She then rushed through the entire service and seemed very annoyed to be there. She cut my cuticles on several fingers to the point where I had blood and scabs for at least a week afterward. The manicure did last a long time, I can at least give that credit where it's due. The second time I went, I saw a different nail tech and she argued with me on the nails I wanted. I wanted a simple black manicure with stars on two nails. She did my nails navy blue, and for over $80, I expected the design to be really good but honestly I could have done a better job at home or having a friend do it. The gel on my nails was extremely uneven and bumpy. I later discovered when filing the top layers of the gel off that the lower layers of gel on my right hand were all under cured, sticky, and wet. This is the fast track to getting a gel allergy and is just completely unacceptable. Overall, two poor experiences is enough for me to just go back to doing my nails myself or seeking out a new salon. As expensive as this place is, the quality of the work just does not match up and the lack of professionalism in attitude and technique is unacceptable. I still tipped both times despite the work, but I do not recommend this place to my friends, and I will not be returning. Which really is a shame because all I hear is how fantastic this place is and I really wanted to love it. read more

The best nail salon in the area! They do waterless manicures which are way more hygienic. The polish application is always perfect! My favorite go to person here is Anastasia. She is amazing! Her attention to detail is great, every nail looks perfect! It's best to book ahead to get the appointment time you want. read more

I started coming here fall of 2018 after hearing about shape of nails from a friend of a coworker. I was previously annoyed with my old nail tech because my gel nails would barely last 2 weeks. Ever since Coming here that has never been the issue! The attention to detail that these nail techs provide is unheard of! I've never had my nails last this long or look this great! They also are always willing to do a design on your nails or can recreate something from the internet. Highly suggest texting their line to make an appointment (I don't believe they do walk-ins) as they are usually solidly booked up which comes to show u how great there work is and the quality of service they provide. Great place & awesome service! Please note- this is not a nail salon where you soak your hand in water or acetone, i don't know what techniques they use, however most of the mani is done with a tiny dremel looking tool. It's very innovative and awesome! read more

I get my nails done regularly. I have gone here twice now. The first time was great. New technology, techniques for gel nails. However this last visit was not good at all. The technician hurried me and was unpleasant. It may have been her English isn't the best but she was making faces which made me uncomfortable. She wouldn't do anything I asked for. I wanted French manicure, she only painted it nude. She said she didn't have time and another client is coming . If you didn't have time to do what I what,,then advise me of it so I can make alternate arrangements. 7 out of 10 nails broke off within 3 day ! Their technique although odorless and cool, it is not strong like the typical powder acrylic nails. So if you're like me and need your nails to be somewhat stronger, this new technique is not cutting it .! read more

The quality of the actual pedicure and manicure is superior. However - they need to FIX their aggregating tech department. I got an email asking me to confirm my appointment through a link that does NOT work. I tried to send an email from the same email by clicking on "email us", and it was returned as the address does NOT exist. I searched their website and the website does NOT load. Finally, I called to leave a message and the voicemail was FULL and didn't accept messages. I finally called the next day and expressed my frustrations as this has happened twice (3 months ago) and yesterday. It is beyond unprofessional!! Most businesses request confirmation and it takes ONE SECOND to click a link!! The fact that they charge $150 for a regular mani/pedi, you would think they can afford to hire an IT person to fix their issues. I have an appointment today, and unless they fix this annoyance, I won't be returning. read more

When I called June 8 I was quoted straight manicure $40... not even polish ... that's fine because I just wanted my cuties cleaned. I received a text confirmation that as of May 1, 2024 price jumped to $100!! Not good business to quote prices and then after making appt price jumped. Of course the lady denied it.. she said she made my appointment that she remembers speaking with me. Lady that doesn't help your case. We all understand inflation and we all have to compensate but when you raise your prices to a ridiculous standard people are gonna go because it's not worth it. I can live without manicure and pedicures. I almost never put yelp reviews up, but for this con I will. read more
