I just moved from Va. to Md. and this is the only nail shop that I've been to. Tim is hands down the best!! He's fast and he does an amazing job. This is my new favorite nail shop!! read more

Linda is a great nail technician. She takes pride in providing quality service. She removes excess polish from surrounding nail beds and your manicure lasted for 2 weeks. The manager is rude. Seems more interested in making money than in providing service. The first time I went, he overlooked a mani/pedi request. I had a mani and after waiting ~20min after the mani, inquired about the pedi. He had forgotten to let the tech kno I wanted both. He never apologized. The 2nd time I went, while waiting for my nails to dry, he rushed over, sprayed my nails and asked if I had tipped the technician. I had tipped the tech but considered this a rude question. My manicure chipped that same day and the manicure didn't last one week. Linda was not available so I used a different tech who I will not use again. read more

I enjoyed my overall experience. The technicians were friendly. It was my first time going to a nail shop since February because of the pandemic. I decided to treat myself on election day (I voted early by mail) I figured it wouldn't be that many people. I was right. I was the first one there. I made a reservation through their Facebook page as suggested on their website. It was prior to opening but they still responded quickly. They have various types of pedicures you can get written on a chalk wall. For my nails I came in with a specific design in mind from Pinterest (photo attached). I'm giving three stars because there wasn't a lot of communication when it came to sharing nail pricing and how they were going to achieve the look. I also asked for dip powder and if they couldn't achieve the look with that, they could've communicated that. Some of the design started peeling in about two days :-/ They played a hiphop competition show on their TV that's popular in their culture. I wasn't sure if they assumed it was something I'd be amused by because I am black (I wasn't) because they had very tranquil music on when I arrived. Overall, they did a decent job on my nails some of the acrylic got onto my cuticles and I'm not sure how the tech didn't see that. read more

So I decided to stop here to get my first ever pedicure. I have never gotten a pedicure in my life before, and after hearing about how restoring and relaxing they are I decided to get one. I was greeted by warm and welcoming service here, and I sat into the massage/pedicure chair and chose the second out of four pedicure options. This option was $42, and it offered nail trimming, callous removal, sugar scrub, hot foot soak, stone rub/smoother & hot towel. This pedicure was so relaxing! Words cannot honestly begin to describe how great I felt. There was music playing in the background, and the energy was very upbeat. The customers were happy, and the vibe was on point! Happy customers tell me a lot about an establishment. I left feeling renewed with smooth feet and a brand new energy! This may just be my new spot for an occasional pedi treat! read more

Second time here and I love this place. The first time I came was using a gift certificate and I had a wonderful experience getting a classic pedicure. This time, I got a filling and pedicure. My full set had been done at a previous salon and they looked terrible! The nails were oddly shaped, lumpy, bumpy and ugly! Anne, totally transformed my nails. Looks like I got a new set all together. She was gentle and shaped them as natural and anyone ever has. She took her time and didn't rush even as people started to roll in. The space is serene and clean. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. I'll certainly be a return customer. Also, they don't hit you over the head with outrageous prices like some other PG county salons. read more

I took the day off on Monday and decided to start it off with my first ever mani-pedi! To be fair, I did once I get a mani many years ago, but my nails were already super short, and they cut them down even more... I don't have the best memories from that, but I remember my nails feeling really good. So I spontaneously walked into this spot, barely 5 minutes from my house, and a woman came to the door and asked what I needed. When I said a mani-pedi, I was immediately directed to a chair and another woman in the salon took care of me. The pedicure was first -- internally, I was quite nervous. The reason I hadn't gotten one up until now is because I am extremely ticklish and was afraid I would end up laughing so hard that I would scare everyone in the salon! But hey, that didn't happen, and I felt nothing but all the perks! The hot water felt great, the oils, the sugar scrub.... and the callous removal was totally painless! And wow, the hot towel is such a GREAT feel! I don't have any other pedis to compare this to, but I daresay it was quite good! I got the $37 one, the second of four options. The manicure was awesome too! By the way, all of the techs wear masks and there's a screen in between the tech and customer for the manicure, with just a gap for the hands. I saw some other customers come in and I could tell they were regulars. And they looked so happy, that's a great sign! Throughout my whole experience, the TV was on and turned to a music channel with some beautiful performances! Definitely helped with the vibes of the whole place. I think I'm going to make this whole mani-pedi deal a quarterly treat for myself. In fact, I am going to make my next appointment shortly! read more

Great place! Nice technicians and gave all 5 of us great manicures. Happily would come again. The interior was clean and accommodating.

I normally don't leave reviews but this was such a terrible experience I have to because these 4 star reviews are faulty and fake! My sister and I went in for a gel manicure, the first thing we realized, this place is not clean. It looks run downed and barely functioning. Second, they just did a terrible job! The woman who did my nails didn't cut my cuticles and we had to get someone else to come and properly cut my cuticles. I continued to ask the technician to not cut my natural nails short and she did anyways and filed until there almost nothing left. The gel polish is watered down and is not good. After a day, my sisters gel polish already chipped away - by the layer. My gel is so thick it looks gross. It was a terrible experience DO NOT COME HERE. It it not clean, they are awful technicians, and the quality of the polish is truly trash. read more

Worst full set I've ever received. Whole service was rushed and sloppy. My nail artist had a very bad attitude. Was charged $120 for a service that should've been under $80. SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND PATIENCE! read more

Excellent service at this simple salon. The salon technician was professional, clearly knew her trade and did a beautiful job. I will be a repeat client! read more

Ok so this place is mediocre. My first thought was that it's kinda dingy/dirty? Like they just need a good deep clean though and it be solid. I wanna say that the lady who did my nails was superrr nice and sweet. BUT I won't ever go back lol I asked for almond shape and what I ended up with is I guess? But it took a lot of asking for fixes to get there. And I still ended up with some of them looking a bit uneven. My thumbs are different lengths entirely. Not by a lot but not by a little either. It looks really good at first glance! Like the color is gorgeous but like I have cuts on the side of some of my nails from where she used the like automatic nail file thing. Like she filed my skin, enough to draw a bit of blood on a few. Again super nice lady but it feels like she was muddling her way through it. I get the feeling that the young girl that works there though is on her shit. Saw her do a girls nails while I was getting mine done and they looked great. read more

I loved the way she was so kind with me, because the first time i went there a very grumpy lady did my nails! but this time i loved how they treated me and greeted me! my experience was great! read more

This is my favorite salon! I've been coming to this salon since I moved here over 10 years ago. The technicians are very pleasant, but Anna and Linda are fantastic!. Everyone here works very hard to accommodate walk-ins but at times they are very busy and will ask you to come back at a more favorable time (I've done this before). I've started calling ahead for my appointments and find it works well for me. This establishment is a diamond in old Greenbelt. read more

Excellent nail salon! Courteous friendly staff, clean, welcoming. I had Cathy do my nails and she took the time to really make sure my manicure and gel was perfect. Great attention to detail. If you're looking for a place to try (like I did) give Solar Nails a try. I'm super glad I did! read more

*UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT as of LABOR DAY.* I was shock to see the "under new management" sign that replaced the deals M-W, since I was here 2 weeks prior to when they supposedly took over. I didn't see any familiar faces. There were three employees when I went on a Friday at 1pm. I was greeted by the son, and the mother was the one that worked on my nails. There was a young lady doing a pedicure. I didn't wait long for someone to seat me and start removing my gel manicure. When I was ready to pick colors (samples were on fingernail samples), the son asked if I want to do powder dip nails since my nails were long and it would be stronger than gel manicure and lasts as long, if not longer. I said sure, but there weren't many colors to choose from but they had a ombre style that i decided to do. 2nd time I went back--- Had a little wait. They have more dip powder colors. I chose a nude colored dip powder; it looked really good. Overall, I like to come here because their aren't frills and it's not crowded. But that also means there aren't much staff, so you may have to wait. BTW, they also don't have prices posted anywhere-- but they do have pedicure menu (didn't look at it to see if there are prices). They are also on Instagram if you wanna see some of their work @solar.nails.gb (currently with no profile picture). read more

I used to go to this nail place under the old management. And loved my experience there. There is a sign that states 'walk-ins welcome'. I walk in and no one says hello to me. There are no chairs to sit on and wait. I go over to the polish area. After a few minutes, someone comes over. No greeting just what do you want done? I ask for a pedicure and this person asks others. Then I'm told to come back in a hour. I have never been back. read more

Before new management I use to live across the street and come every two weeks to get my nails done out of nail loyalty but was never truly satisfied with my nails. Yesterday was my first time coming to the new & improved Solar Nails and I'm soooo happy. Definitely money well spent. A young lady did my nails EXACTLY like how I asked, carried on good conversation, and in order to get me in and out had her colleague help with the finishing touches while she did my very perfect pedicure. I'm so happy I decided to visit. You guys are amazing & so kind. I see big things for this business. read more

Cathy is the best my first appt I advised that I'm on blood thinners, so to please be careful with my pedicure, because one cut I could bleed non stop. I've been going to her for almost 6mnths and not one time has she nicked or cut me. She's very attentive and polite. And her leg massages are theee best. read more

I'm sorry to be writing this review, this was my third time coming to this nail salon, and the third time was distasteful. The first two encounters I had a fill and gel polish done by a young lady and she did a great job both times. This last time, I had an older lady with a short bob cut, do not go to her!!!!! Even if there is a long wait for someone else, she did absolutely horrible, cut my cuticles, horrible paint job, and I have bubbles under the gel coats. If I ever do come back I will make sure not to ever return to her! read more

Parking was pretty easy, so that's where half a star goes to the other half was the person that finished my nails. I showed up and asked for a polish change since I got a full spa manicure last week. I picked a color from their basic selection and saw they had a certain brand and asked if they had it. Vola they do... "brownie points" no star for that. I asked for my nails to be shaped 3 times, by the time she (the older lady) started polishing my nails she didnt go all the way down to the cuticle leaving a freaking space. I asked if she could go down more and said second coat yes. She did three of my nails and still struggled to paint all the way down and kept taking the nail polish off completely and "trying over" Another customer and nail tech (younger women)came in, she spoke in a foreign language to the other nail tech and said to me she will finish and walked away. rude. absolutely rude. and damaging to my nails. Luckily I was only visiting so this will never be my go to with their sub-par work and customer service. read more

Needed a nail salon to go that was near me since many around are not great and not clean. Researched and found this place in old historic Greenbelt. Went 30 mins after they opened on a Friday morning. I was the second client to arrive. Salon is spacious, clean, bright, nothing to fancy but just right. The ladies working were so sweet and kind. I got a regular pedicure and dipping powder manicure both were amazing and did a fabulous job. They also gave me a sticker card to use for every time I come and on the 11th visit you get a discount. I definitely will be coming to them again. read more

A friend and I came here for pedicures on a Monday morning and they were able to help us right away since nobody else was there. Although we had planned on only getting pedicures, we decided to also get manicures once we saw how perfect our toes looked. We were just as pleased with the quality of our manicures! There wasn't anything too fancy or exciting about either the pedicure nor manicure, they were just painted perfectly for only $20 and $10. The atmosphere is old, not too decorative, and a little dingy. For that reason I'm knocking the review down from 5 to 4 stars. I rarely ever have my nails done at a salon, so if you frequent salons your expectations may be different, but with their low prices it's worth it to just pop in for a $10 manicure and see for yourself! read more

I moved to the DMV 2 years ago and everyone knows how hard it is to find and actually love new places to get your nails done, hair done, doctors...basically everything! I've been going here for 3-4 months now and every time I leave completely satisfied. I've gotten gel pedicures, gel manicures and a full set done multiple time by different people and every time it comes out perfect. They are very clean, have updated massage chairs, trendy decor and an overall friendly vibe. Highly recommend! read more

This review is strictly for their gel manicure. I have been here twice for my last 2 gel manicures and they do a very nice, clean, neat job on your nails. I finally found my go-to place for gels. They have so many gel colors to choose from but the only minor downside is they do not carry swatches of the color. You have to open the bottles to get an idea of the color. They do carry mood changing gel polish (all frost shades though!) After 2 weeks my gel manicure still looked fresh. I recently went back a second time and this time the guy did my nails and he really took his time and did a beautiful job. On Mondays-Wednesdays their gel manicures are $25 which is pretty darn good! Pedicures are $20 on those 3 days as well. read more

This place is under new ownership. I took my mother for a manicure and I had a pedicure as well as a manicure. The girls were very friendly and often sang along with the relaxing Asian music that plays in the background. It is not always easy to work on a 100 year old customer but they made Mom feel comfortable and her nails looked half her age so that was great. The products they use seem first class and the fragrances blend with the exotic music to form a nice escape from the daily hustle and flow. Definitely worth a try. read more

This is just your typical shopping strip nail salon. There was nothing really fancy about it. I was serviced immediately without an appointment but they weren't busy. The lady took her time with my pedicure. I don't know if the polish was old, or if it was her but it just isn't a smooth finish. One of my toes looks almost see-through and there are a few bumps. It's not terrible but also not the best. The basic pedicure was $27. I came here bc it was close to my dentist office and I desperately needed a pedicure. I will stick to my usual spot. read more
