    Dip nails

    I love this place. They always turn out so well. They are efficient. There's never wait lines. They offer you a drink when you come in. I got a dip manicure. She rubbed my hands with lotion and gave me a hot towel at the end. It was great.

    Thought I'd get into the Christmas spirit, in spite of the pandemic.

    [Updated Review] - [Pandemic Era] Service: the service is always just 'okay' to me. They never seem to go above and beyond. Because it is a pandemic, one will not be serviced without an appointment or calling beforehand. Today, I was offered something to drink and then the woman who offered it forgot about it. Value: I have now opted to try other places because of the prices here. I believe it is high in price due to the location and because there have been many renovations/additions to services; however, it's the same basic services that you can find elsewhere for less. One thing that takes away from the value is that at least twice I've had my gel polish peel after 2-3 of getting my nails done. Went there today because I did not feel like driving to my newly preferred salon, so I'm hoping the polish lasts. Ambiance: the vibes at this place are okay. It's usually quiet unless you hear light chatter or sometimes there is some soft instrumentals playing. Location: Located in Alexandria but more so on the border of Alexandria and Arlington in the Bailey's Crossroads area. 5124 Leesburg Pike, Alexandria, VA 22302. Huge plus is that there's free parking!

    Needed to try a new nail salon at the last minute. I usually go to Mosaic cause I have a nail tech that never fails and the only reason why I didn't go this time was because I usually like to get my nails done in an environment that isn't hectic. Mosaic is usually pretty pack which I don't blame cause they do nails good! I know it's the holiday season so I just wanted to go somewhere close by to my house during my lunch break just quick and easy. I called before hand to check --it was a clear shop. I walk in and there was one specific nail tech who seemed to kinda have an attitude about serving me..like I was just gonna waste her time. Seems like from previous comments were all talking about the same girl but can't verify for sure. USUALLY a good nail tech will ask you before they pair you with someone what designs you want if you want any etc. They didn't ask -- I had to ask the girl once she finished putting my gel x nails on if she even know what she was doing with my nails. Mind you with Gel x-- you can't take the color off without having to do the whole nail over. Before she even put color on I went over the design I wanted (see pictures for reference the x)I told her if she COULDNT do it --that's fine im not pressed I'm not expecting all nail salons to be able to do the designs I come with cause I know I'm pretty extra, so I was ok with something basic and simple. I knew the risk I took coming to a new salon not knowing if they can even do designs. She told me multiple times she could do the design assuring me repeatedly. So I said okkkk. Tell me why she gets to the design part she's not even no where close to the design. I said ??? This is not how the picture looks. She tried 3 more times then gets an attitude and tells me 100 reasons why she can't do the design. Like girl I literally said before you even started it, if you couldn't do it --then don't! I don't like just getting color on my nails especially with the price they are now adays. So she try's to say she can put jewls on it which I didn't like any of them so I said nope just finish up so I can go cause mined you I'm on my lunch. She charged me $78 for a plain color, and her attitude. I get to the counter the owner I'm assuming was very sweet and nice and made the experience a lot better by asking why I was so upset. She tried to do the design I wanted originally...and I mean it was ok still once again not what the picture was giving. And to show for reference the type of nail designs I do see the pictures of previous nails I've done. I post my nails on social media to inspire others and this was definitely not posted. I usually get a lot of views on my nails and I really like to go extra and dramatic! Overal cost was $100 I tipped $11 just to be nice but will not be coming back and won't recommend this place unfortunately. Will be going back to what I know and who I know which is unfortunate. Gave one star atleast for the owner because she tried and was very polite. Maybe will try again if I can get a discount to accommodate the experience and maybe they can try again otherwise it's a no.

    It's not a bad manicure, but just not at all what I wanted.

    I don't generally give bad reviews, and I'm not necessarily going to now, as I think maybe I personally just had a bad experience here as most of the reviews are very positive. I went in with medium-length natural nails and wanted an off white very natural French manicure, and left with super short neon pink nails. When I sat down, I was asked if I wanted a cut and file, which I heard and cut OR file, and I said file only. I have just recently been able to grow my nails out after not being able to due to some health reasons, and I have been taking extremely good care of them lately. Because of this, I just wanted a little file to keep them healthy and nothing more. After I said this, my tech (whose name I did not get) picked up the nail clippers and said she wanted to even them out, and I said okay because she is the professional and I wanted to trust her. She ended up going to my longest nail and trimmed it more than I would've liked, but it wasn't too crazy. Then she went and clipped EVERY other one of my nails, even the ones that were already that length. She ended up trimming one of my thumbs (pictured) ALL the way down to the skin. I asked her again please not too short, and I didn't hear what she said after that, but then she filed them all down some more. I supposed I should've said something as soon as I sat down but I thought I communicated what I wanted but it seems like I did not. At this point I was already upset (not at her particularly, just at the look of my nails and hands now) and was worried that the French tip would look ugly now that my nails were so short. What I DIDNT expect was instead of my tech using a dainty and precise French tip brush on my nails, she slabbed a whole BUNCH of white polish on my finger and wiped the excess off with a brush with alcohol. I know this is not uncommon, but I hate this method, and it made my already stumpy nails look atrocious. I have a poor quality picture of it below, but you can see how blocky it is. I asked her if I could please change it to red, as I don't like how my nails looked in short French. She didn't seem annoyed or anything (but the whole time she didn't seem to care that much either) and she got me the samples to pick from which I really appreciated. I picked a color called "deep pink" which, if you see below is not exactly what I would call it. Granted, she did give me a chance to change it but at this point I was so defeated I just went with it. This part I admit I could've fixed but I was honestly just trying to get through it at this point. Now, for a short neon manicure it's great! It is just not at all what I wanted. Unfortunately I really only budget to be able to get my nails done once every other week, so I am stuck with these but honestly I may just take them off because it is not my style and I really don't like to look at them, it was very disappointing. The salon itself was clean and pretty, and for the most part everyone was kind. I would just recommend telling your tech EXACTLY what you want before they even touch your nails, because this was doomed from the beginning. Also- I'm not sure if there was an option to tip as she didn't give me a receipt to sign. I still wanted to leave a tip but I didn't see an envelope to use or a tip line to sign so I hope they at least compensate them more if it is the case that they do not takes tips.

    I would have never thought to try this salon had a friend not told me about it. The first time I went was on a Saturday around 4. The salon was pretty quiet. The door was locked, which I found odd. I went to have a gel mani refreshed, and to fix a couple of broken nails. They gave me my box and explained that they would use it each visit. I found it weird that the technician (I don't recall her name) spot fixed one of the nails, meaning she didn't put the powder over the whole nail....just the broken area. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it was definitely bumpy when comparing all of my nails at the end. But I decided I would return again to see how the service went. Second visit was to change the gel polish and fix a few more broken nails. Since I had just walked in before (no appointment), I did the same, this time on a Sunday around 4pm. The salon was a bit busy, but I was taken aback that the receptionist said I should call to make an appointment. But no one said this on my first visit! Anyhow, Sarah was my technician. I mentioned that I prefer if fixed nails aren't bumpy, and if the powder was put over the whole nail. She did a good job with that part. However, there was no mention of my box. Got mood changing polish again. Third visit was to change polish and continue fixing broken nails. This time I asked what could be done to keep my nails from breaking (they seem to break far below the nail bed when they get too long), and Sarah recommended cutting down the nails. My technician was Mikah. She was nice and answered all my questions about gel vs SNS, and she got my box out. However, as my nails grew out I could tell that the powder on some of the fixed nails was extremely thick. So much so that hair would get stuck underneath. Eventually the powder to fix the nails popped off and I was left looking raggedy until I could go back. Fourth and most recent visit I called to make an appointment at 5:30 on a Friday evening. My technician was Helen. She changed my gel polish and freshened up the powder on the broken nails. She got my box, listened to my feedback, and had a great eye for detail as she did my nails. I will definitely request her when I go back! Skyline Spa is so close to where I live, it's convenient to go, which is why I keep returning. I want to find a place I trust, so hopefully now that I've found Helen, this can be my spot.

    SNS powder and mani. Tina took great care for in removing, shaping, filing, and applying nee powder to my nails.

    Was nervous about trying a new nail tech. I love my precious one but trekking to Fairfax limits when I can go to weekends. Very pleased with Skyline Salon. Their regular pedicure includes paraffin wax and a hot towel. Both feel amazing!!!

    I stumbled upon the salon and decided to give them a try. I read so many wonderful reviews about Thai and requested her but I was told I had the wrong salon (no one by the name worked there). I wanted a fill in and didn't have an appointment but was seated right away. The tech filled my acrylic nails with the dip powder. I asked if that made a difference and was told no (we shall see). I was cut with the drill. After I jumped and pulled my finger away the tech proceeded to take my finger back and continue to drill even though there was a visible cut that was starting to bleed. I retracted my hand and asked if they had alcohol or something for the cut. She put something that wasn't alcohol on it and continued. She also went around my cuticles which was not painless. In all my nails look okay but she drilled so close to my cuticle that it will look like I need a fill in before it's time. There was a sign that said after July 16th you can no longer tip with your card so I was thinking I'd be able to tip with my card. I was told only cash so I directed the employees attention to the sign and asked if it was from last year.. she kind of giggled and said something inaudible. Needless to say I didn't tip because I couldn't and didn't have the cash or time to go find an ATM. I am not sure if I'll be returning.

    First time getting my nails done there and I loved it !!!!! $55 for the nail dip powder is really not bad !! The nail tech lady took her time and was very gentle with my nails. (I've been to other places where they are rough with your hands, pull your hands etc.) I have really short nails and I had a cut on one finger and I told her and she actually acknowledged it and did her best to not sting me or anything. For some reason the gps took me to the neighborhood next to the salon but in case you go it's directly in front of the target light. I think the lady's name was nazi, but she was very nice. She did an awesome job with taking her time and doing it the way I liked. :-) Also if it's your first time you get a $5 off coupon your next visit (only valid for a month)

I was told to choose a color and wait for the next available nail technician. Once I was seated, I explained the services I wanted, and my nail technician began my pedicure. Not even halfway through my service, the manager came over and asked my nail technician what I was getting. After she explained, the manager turned to me and asked me to pay for my services before they had even been completed. When I asked why I was being required to pay before my service was finished, she told me it was because they were closing and she needed to complete the accounting for the night. Frankly, I don't understand how that became my responsibility. What made the situation even more frustrating was that another customer receiving a pedicure was not asked to pay in advance. When I pointed this out, the manager claimed it was because I had requested gel polish, which would take longer. That explanation didn't make sense, especially since my service had already started. To make matters worse, I offered my American Express card, which the manager refused, stating that their credit card machine no longer accepted American Express. I have successfully used my American Express card at this salon on multiple previous visits. Since I didn't have another physical card with me, I asked if she could bring the card reader so I could tap to pay. She then told me the machine wasn't wireless. As a result, I was forced to Zelle payment before my service was even complete. Even worse, I never received the full pedicure I paid for because the staff rushed to leave for the night. I've been a customer before, but this experience was unprofessional, inconsistent, and left me feeling singled out and inconvenienced. If your business cannot complete services that begin before closing or has policies requiring customers to prepay mid-service, those expectations should be communicated before the service starts--not while a customer is already in the chair. I cannot recommend this salon based on the way I was treated, and I will not be returning.

    Firstly the stylist arrived late. I will let that slide. I…read morewas assigned Helen as the stylist and she was having trouble speaking in English. I get that too. She was unfriendly and did not care to check with me what I wanted. She couldn't understand my instructions well and when I showed her hair length (and told her repeatedly to check with me before cutting) she cut off 10 inches off my hair. I wanted layers but because the hair was already cut so short I couldn't get layers as it would have reduced the length further more. I was so upset with the service. I was offered no apology whatsoever and instead the head staff told me maybe we should put water on your hair and ruin it even more for wasting our time! Do not recommend the stylist or the salon to anyone! You may see comments from them on my post saying how I'm lying and they did their best, you can choose to believe whoever. As a paying customer, my service was not as expected and the customer service was terrible.
