    I was also told to put it on yelp and see what ppl had to say. There isn't any shine.
    Nargis M.

    I've been a regular at this salon for a long time and always bring at least 3 people with me. I also recommend this place to everyone I know. But today's experience left me extremely disappointed. I called the day before and made an appointment for 4 people, specifically requesting that we be seated together. I was told that wouldn't be a problem. But when we arrived, only 2 chairs were available, so 2 of us had to wait -- which completely defeated the purpose of booking ahead. All 3 of us got their most expensive pedicure package -- $100 with gel -- plus gel manicures. My issue isn't necessarily with how my nails turned out -- they were okay, though they could have been better -- but the service I received was terrible. My tech skipped steps, pulled on my cuticles, didn't check her work, and I had to ask her to fix things she missed. I even had to remind her to apply lotion to my hands, which should be a standard part of the service. The pedicure included a 20-minute massage. I was the last one to start, yet I finished first -- even my mom, who only got a basic pedicure with regular polish, finished after me. That felt really rushed and unfair. When I brought all this up to the manager, I calmly asked for a refund just for my own service. Instead of being understanding or apologetic, I was told it's all about "technique." I felt completely dismissed and disrespected. I've brought a lot of business to this salon and never complained before, but this experience was unacceptable. It wasn't about how my nails looked -- it was about how I was treated. And that matters just as much.

    The best service ever!! I loved my nails so so much, everyone does good. Me and all my friends go here and we are never disappointed. The place itself it's not dirty it's beautiful

    They did a great job shaping and doing my set, it was clean and friendly. I always mess mine up so I appreciate their work!

    Why hello. Let me tell you how this place is the only place I get my nails done at now. Tammi gets me right every time. Nails being done correctly can really make your day and when I say I leave here literally feeling better that's how satisfied I am! Place is clean and professional. MAKE APPOINTMENTS. These people be busy don't play.

    Its the consistency that brings me back! Reasons why I love it here - variety: from chrome to cat eye to powder theres plenty to choose from. I appreciate that! - vibe: clean; top 40 playlist. All modern equipment & each tech has their own supplies. - techniques: i've come in each time with different design asks & they get as close as possible to the reference photo Pricing is moderate - my nails last a while (gel x). I personally go to Erik, Ryan or Kim I wish they posted more on instagram to fully showcase their talent.

    gel manicure
    Tori N.

    I came to Nail Bar Arlington with a friend to get a gel manicure (she got a dip manicure). The staff were really accommodating in letting us sit together even though it was a busy night (shout out to the girl who was so kind to move her seat so we could sit together)! The salon was very clean and organized which is always good to see. No complaints at all about the manicure or the process, everything was great and as I expected. The color is pretty, a little bit different than on the tester (it seemed a little bit more black/blue than black/gray) but overall really happy with the manicure. The price was $42 before tip, so a little higher than other salons I've been to for gel manicures which are usually around $36-$38.

    Candy cane inspired nails
    Brittany R.

    This was my first rendezvous at the Nail Bar Arlington it and I must say that they did their thing. The ambiance was tidy and modern. The patrons were even friendly and respectful of each other. My nail technician was on point and worked quickly. I believe I was their last customer for the night so two other nail techs helped finish my candy cane inspired design. There is 1 hour meter parking in front. I heard people park in the grocery store parking lot but obviously you're running a risk. My nails were done the powder dip technique which starts at 50. Then it was 5 dollars per bail for design which brought me up to 95... thought it would bring me to 100 being That I have all 10 of my fingers. They offered me water and have a restroom available for use!

    Perfect Service. Didn't have an idea for my nails. They were so nice to help out. Wonderful prices

    Fresh set!

    Great service, they always do a wonderful job!! I've been getting my nails done here for over a year.

    The one the nail tech said it was fine. Waste of your money on this place
    Valentino R.

    Very disappointed, I got my nails done Friday and by Monday I had 5 nails chipped, I let them Know what happened and they nice said come next day and I did. I told them I wasn't very happy becuase paying 80$ plus tip that was 20$ and their product that they use was bad. So They did 5 nails and even tho I told them all of Them need to be fix I got only 5 fix. For a nude color and Crome 80$ and two days off get back.. long history short I had the worst I ever could ever had when I ask for a deep mani. I got nails chipped and other nice. Honesty don't go to this place. Whatever their use it's so bad that not even your natural nail will chipped but their material will. Definitely don't to to this place. More to follow on my X and YouTube!! 0/5 I give one start BECUASE I had to! Other wise zero! I'm

    They were so thick and NOT what I wanted.

    i paid $125 dollars to get them done but I took them off the day that I got them because of how bad they were they were SO BAD and look NOTHING like the photo I wanted. I'm disappointed and NEVER coming back to this nail salon ever again.

To the manager, thank you for giving me a superb experience.***** Again, still my go to nail salon primarily because of the promotions they have. I enjoy going in the morning because it's quieter and it's nice to have your nails done right before work. I'm actually planning on walking in today or tomorrow for a gel removal on hands and mint pedicure. I'd say the mint pedicure is probably best for its price and going during happy hour it's also discounted. The salon is professional. I'm not a fan of all the employees as sometimes I noticed that they don't standardize the services. Some with give you a slight leg massage, some just completely skip over it.

I'm super disappointed to be honest! 2 stars because my pedicure was good and the nail tech was nice.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE VERY BAD SERVICE!!!!…read more I am deeply disappointed with my experience at this salon and feel compelled to share it so others are aware. On Saturday, November 8th at 5:40 PM, I visited for a nail service costing $110. From the very beginning, I felt rushed and dismissed. When I politely requested a matte finish on my nails, the technician refused, saying, "No, the color it is, is better." This was unprofessional and dismissive of my preferences as a paying customer. The service itself felt hurried and careless. By the following morning, my nails were already chipped--clearly reflecting poor workmanship. I returned expecting a simple correction at no extra cost, as the issue was the result of their inadequate service. Instead, I was charged an additional $55. Beyond the service quality, the behavior of the staff was unacceptable. The technician rolled her eyes repeatedly, handled my hands aggressively, and made me feel uncomfortable. When I reported this to the store manager, she raised her voice and told me, "Then go somewhere else!" This hostility toward a returning customer is entirely unprofessional. I spent additional time returning to the salon only to be met with rudeness and an unjustified charge. I am requesting a full refund of the $165 I was charged ($110 for the first visit, $55 for the second). I hope this review prompts the salon to improve both their service quality and their treatment of customers. No one should feel rushed, dismissed, or financially penalized for the salon's own mistakes.

But, the value overall is not there. When I walked in, the first woman who approached me told me she would be doing my toes and hands for both of my services. I barely got seated in the spa chair and a walk-in called and the nail tech then told me that she was going to pass me off to somebody else while she handled the walk-in. To be honest, you shouldn't tell me you're prioritizing another client over me, especially when that client isn't even present. The lady that she passed me off to do my toes was very friendly, and the pedicure itself wasn't bad but the paint job wasn't great. I honestly couldn't tell until I got home just how untidy my toe paint was. Even when we started the appointment, she slightly burned my skin while removing my old gel polish from my toes. Therefore, my toe stung through my entire appointment. When it was time to finish my manicure/gel ex set on my hands, I had to repeat myself three times to tell them I wanted French tip. And when you tell nail technicians that you want a short nail, somehow that is really hard to comprehend. I also blame this on the fact that this is now the third nail technician I'm dealing with so it just felt like everything got lost in translation and I really feel like three people totaled my nails and there's no cohesiveness to the final look. My nails aren't terrible and they will do and I'm not a picky person at all. But I am hesitant to come back. I think that there is great potential here and I still think it's a good salon, but maybe just not the one for me.
