Gel manicure not totally cleaned up on the sides
Tori N.

I went to Tenley nails last week for the first time and was looking forward to it based on the reviews. When I walked in I was greeted and told to sit in a chair while the woman doing my nails brought me different gel manicure options. As I was looking through the options she started to work on my nails so by the time that I was done picking a color, my old nail polish was removed and she was working on cutting my nails and cuticles. While it was great for efficiency purposes, I definitely felt a little bit rushed even though the salon wasn't that busy. The gel manicure itself was great and it looked really nice, but as I left and looked closer, I could see she didn't clear up the sides of my nails very well and there was red stain from the polish. I was able to get it off over the course of the night. What I'm most disappointed in is that by the next morning, I already had a small chip in the polish, and in the week since I have a few more. They do state on their website that they will fix any chipped gel (or dipped) nail(s) within 2 weeks (14 days) from initial service, but I won't be back in the area in time to take them up on that offer. A big pro of the salon is they have TONS and TONS of colors to choose from.

Acrylic nails done by Tina!

Tina does a fantastic job on my acrylics every time I go! She's super accommodating to my schedule, finishes my sets quickly, and is always fair with the price. Definitely recommend her services!

Dip manicure with tip extensions. Color 205 silver sparkles (looks amazing in sunlight - perfect before a beach vacation)

I went here based on all the great reviews. I have had a hard time finding a place I like in DC and most are hit or miss. I found a great woman in Rockville I liked but.... it's so far! I love the work Tina did and I love how sweet everyone was. All the women that were in there getting nails or pedicures or wax were all long-time customers, which says a lot. The energy is good, everyone is so kind and thankful. And Tina did an incredible job.

This is by far my favorite nail salon in town! Nam and the rest of the team are so kind, easy to book with and always do a great job.

Love this place! The women are so sweet and they've done a great job on my nail art requests :)

They did an amazing job on my nails! They came out super cute and everybody there was so friendly! Will definitely be going back. Also the prices are extemely fair

My go-to spot! They're so kind and talented. I always had a hard time finding a place to get my nails done in DC without breaking the bank - this is it! Definitely call in advance to make an appointment, it's a small shop with just a few people on staff. But they're very nice and I always enjoy myself. I typically get acrylics with gel, or a pedicure. I got the dip powder with tips last time and I really loved it!

I have been going here for years. Tina does an amazing job with nails and waxing (it is her work pictured). My SNS manicures from Tina often last a whole month. Amie is the best at the pedicures. However, all the ladies (Tina, Nam, Betty & Amie, etc.) are good at either a manicure or pedicure. They have discounts for students. However, their full-service rates are good too and I think their services are worth it! Tina is the former owner and Nam is the current owner, so its a nail technician own business, and not a stretchy place like described in the NYT article. I have also witnessed Nam help girls out who got poor work done in other nail places, so they're very good at solving any nail/foot issue. I highly recommend this place! I do recommend calling ahead for an appointment because they do get very busy, its because they're good and customers keep coming back to them.

The absolute worst manicure I have ever had. Stay away from Kathy; my hands are still hurting a day later.

I would say if the ladies in the business are not comfortable waxing guys…read more Then they should take it of their menu I went to get my legs waxed and although it was pretty painless and went smooth and inside of my thighs are hairy af and when I asked if she could do it she said I don't feel comfortable going so deep knowing that they do offer men's bikini waxing So overall I wouldn't recommend this to any guy Funny part is I'm gay So yeah Half ass job and female leg waxing is 78 where men's is 90 so if I'm paying extra money why do I have extra hair left !!!!!!!

I am in DC temporarily for cancer treatment so I wanted to find a place to get my lashes done…read morebecause it's the one (vain) thing that makes me feel better right now. This place got good reviews so I booked an appointment at the Eastern Market location since it's near the place I'm staying. The night prior, they called and asked if I'd be willing to go to the Dupont Circle location instead so that the technician could fit in more appointments. It was annoying, but not a huge deal. I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.
