I have been going to Stories for about 2 months now. Cinthya is incredible. Previously I had been getting dip powder for roughly 2 years. I struggled with growing my nails out and they broke easily. Since going to Stories and seeing Cinthya my nails have been so much healthier and I've been able to grow my natural nails out. We've been doing builder gel and IBX nail repair every other appointment. I have definitely seen a marked difference. I've also been able to experience their waterless pedicure. Possibly the best pedicure I've ever had. I highly recommend Stories. The establish is clean, organized and has a calming aesthetic. The staff and owner are kind, wonderful people. read more

Absolutely amazing. This is the place. I came in with seriously damaged nails and asked for help. We did an IBX treatment and then a Builder Gel manicure. We have a plan to continue to heal my nails with more IBX and careful manicures. I appreciate that they reached out to confirm my appointment and made sure I was getting the appropriate service for my nails as they were. They use non-toxic nail products and even have these air purifiers if they're using a drill on your nails/cuticles. The salon was beautiful and so clean. I loved Cinthya. She was so kind and meticulous. I am so happy to have found Stories. I'm looking forward to my next appointment and highly recommend this non-toxic nail salon to others! read more

I'm writing this review because I gave the salon multiple opportunities to address my concerns directly before deciding to post publicly. I paid approximately $70 for a builder gel overlay manicure. Within just two days, one nail broke. I returned to the salon and they repaired it, explaining that it may have happened because my nails were short. Unfortunately, the problem didn't stop there. By day 12, several nails were lifting and flaking off. In my experience, a builder gel overlay should last significantly longer than that, especially at this price point. I returned to the salon before the two-week mark. Because they were busy, I told them I was fine with receiving a regular gel manicure instead of having the builder gel completely redone. I fully expected to pay something for the service, but I was surprised when I was charged full price despite the original builder gel overlay failing in less than two weeks. I didn't want to make a scene or put staff in an uncomfortable position, so I paid and tipped as usual. However, after I got home, I submitted a message through the salon's online contact form. I explained my disappointment, acknowledged that I had otherwise been happy with the salon, and stated that I wanted to continue as a customer. I simply felt that charging full price after a premium service failed so quickly was not a fair resolution. The salon never responded. To me, the lack of response was the most disappointing part of the experience. Nail services can occasionally have issues, and I would have been understanding if someone had simply acknowledged my concerns and attempted to make things right. Instead, I paid for a failed builder gel service, paid again for a replacement manicure, and received no follow-up whatsoever. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Stories Salon for nail services. read more

Let me start by saying I love amazing customer service. My podiatrist explained to me the importance of caring for my feet properly and that meant being extra cautionary about who and where I got pedicures in the future. She suggested I only get waterless pedicures! I began my quest and several months later I found Stories! Omg I so love this place. Cinthya is my nail tech. She's amazing. Not only is she amazing at her craft, she's also extremely personable. We have the best conversations. The owner is also amazing! Please check them out you will not regret it! read more

Stories Spa is an amazing experience! I cant say enough- I had a lash lift and tint that came out beautifully and better than anything I've done before... I had my first waterless manicure and tried the quick dry/low chemical lacquer - its amazing! Gorgeous, super glossy and actually fully cured in 5ish minutes (no IV light) ... and for the grand finale I did the full Platinum Hydrafacial - which included RF (radio frequency) & led treatment, back/neck & décolleté. I can't even say enough about the wonderful ladies here. They've had their shop about a year & are the new kids on the block but they know their stuff & are top professionals with very extensive experience.

So happy I found a waterless salon outside of DC. We moved to Howard County recently and I've been searching for a place like this. Ellie was amazing and attentive. I can tell she gets people and pays attention to your needs. I'm pretty basic, I prefer super short nails but I want quality products that are nontoxic. This place has polishes that are 5 free and up (21 free). They also use professional hepa air filters. No soaking tubs people! Not needed and much more hygienic. read more

I treated myself today to a Ch 2 mani and pedi. And it won't be the last time. Don't have time to read my whole novel? Just go ahead and book an appointment asap. This place is going to be booked out and soon. Y'all. This place is magical. I haven't gotten my nails done for years (COVID, then having a baby who is now a toddler). Self-care can be hard for me to make time for, but I'm going to see Barbie tomorrow and it felt anathema to go without hot pink nails. I arrived early, and was welcomed and settled in, Cinthia ended up doing my nails, and she was meticulous. She asked me how I liked them (short and square) and made my preference look like a million bucks. I felt comfortable having space to just read and be quiet during my pedicure, and loved getting to talk with Cinthia during my manicure (she even changed up how she did the first part of my manicure so I could continue to read my book). The whole vibe is calm, soothing, and welcoming. I can't wait to go back. read more

As others have commented, Ellie is the absolute best!! Perhaps more importantly, all of the technicians at Stories are EXCEPTIONAL!!! I've been going to Ellie since before she opened this shop and her work ethic and skillset is unmatched. She was then the lead tech and trainer for that salon and her book was always full weeks in advance. Now that she owns her own salon, the service is incomparable! They really get to know their customers in order to recommend what's best for them. This is a non toxic salon which is a luxurious experience in and of itself. Cynthia is a creative nail artist, Tina is a master aesthetician doing amazing hydrafacials and body treatments, Jane is extremely customer service focused and Ellie is the gifted architect of all of this. Rush to make an appt -- it will be the best investment you can make in yourself or a loved one!! read more

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.

I had to ask about the warm towel and hand lotion, and she brought those out all begrudgingly. I paid in cash, and she just walked off when I asked for change to leave a tip. So, I ended up leaving my tip at the front desk, which is incredible since I've been coming here for years. I hope they provide her with some customer service training.

My sister didn't mind, so she went ahead with it. When Nina sat me down, she handed me the menu and I chose the Deluxe pedi (highly recommend!) My sister, who was still waiting, asked what I picked, and Nina offered her the same menu. She chose the Deluxe as well. When her tech returned and Nina let her know about the upgrade, the tech visibly seemed annoyed. She tossed her tools down and adjusted her setup with clear frustration.
