I like Nails by District location because the facility is kept clean and there is plenty of natural lighting. The bathroom is always kept tidy as well. There's plenty of pedicure chairs that have plastic linings in the bowls for sanitation. And the manicure stations are spacious with comfortable seating. Also, the nail selections are numerous..from the variety of colors and hues, to regular polish, gel polish, and gel dip, the options are endless. Parking is fine as there is limited street parking right out front..but depending on the time of day, street parking can also be found on nearby streets. overall, I highly recommend! yelp tip: save 5 % off your bill if you pay in cash, and there are special deals on nail services offered on Monday through Wednesday.

Thank you to Marlon, for running a tight ship at the front desk and offering great check in services. Of course Marlon did it all from checking guests in, to providing them with beverages as needed. Thank you so much Marlon for your hard work and hospitality. Next, the ambiance in this place can whisk you away and make you melt into the chair. It was so peaceful and professional and a girl can get with that! My nail technician, Nelida, was absolutely sweet and accommodating as she started off a little rough when doing the cuticles on one of my feet and after I expressed it, she immediately adjusted and continued to check on me along the way. Her services were excellent and she massaged away all of the stress in my feet. What an experience! I would say that the pedicure basins are cute but felt a little crammed and that was because of the items that the staff needed to place on top of it in order to do your nails. But, this didn't deter me from the services because the experience was worth my time and money! Definitely recommend this place for the person looking to get away and enjoy quality service! They are very eco-friendly and clean-something I truly admire. Cannot wait to visit again!

My man and I visited for a pedicure, and it was nice that they seated us together. Back home in California, I have a specific technician who does my pedicures--she's not afraid to dig in and tackle ingrown nails. The person I had while visiting had a gentler approach, despite my request to dig. It was clear she wasn't very experienced, though she was sweet as pie. On the plus side, she did an outstanding job with polishing my toes.

Thanks to Sophia for taking care of my nails and providing me with what I requested. She even offered great tips on how to book the next time and how to select service add-ons. At the conclusion, I loved my nails and appreciated the policy on chipped nails and their willingness to fix it. It's a small location but very cozy and accommodating. Definitely hope to be back soon for a follow up service! FYI: I did the Gel X extensions which were $70.

Highly recommend pedicure services from here!…read more While I was out taking care of errands, I looked up on yelp some nearby nail shops, in hopes of getting a serious spa pedicure, and that's when I came across the incredibly high reviews of Famous Nails Spa. I called them to see if I can come in the next 10 mins for a pedicure, and they took me without issue. I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and asked to sign in, and then I walked back to the pedicure chairs. My nail techinician, who didn't introduce herself and was not particularly warm towards me, greeted me and got down to business. Now-I warned her that my feet were in a rough condition, so I didn't mind her being all business because these toes needed THE business. The pedicure service was fantastic!! my feet were scrubbed and rubbed, my toes nails cut and shaped, and my polish was summertime ready. My nail technician offered me water towards the end of my service, which I graciously accepted, however I noticed most people were offered a beverage at the beginning of their service. The spa is relatively cozy in size and efficient, no frills or luxury, but everything was tidy, and my pedicure was done amazingly, and completed in a bit over an hour. I checked out efficiently and was given a somewhat short and dry good bye..hahahaha. But honestly, their service speaks for itself. I definitely would visit here again, and beware of the limited street parking.. prices are reasonable too!

I went on a Sunday morning and found the front desk a bit frantic despite there being 3 people working there. One pedicure tech finally sat me (for my appointment) but the foot bath wasn't functioning. Amber was my tech and moved me to another chair. While she was pleasant I thought the charge of $120 for a gel manicure and pedicure was too much given the lack luster environment. However, what cemented for me this place is horrible is that within 2 days the gel manicure chipped! First it was 2 nails. Now, 4 days later 3. I called and they wanted me to come back there to have them fixed. I said I would never return and they gave me some money back as I insisted. But the continued deterioration of the service after just days is clear this isn't good good nail spa. I don't recommend it and I wouldn't return.

The nail technician (male) who worked on my naturally healthy nails did a poor job. The process took much longer than necessary, and without my request, he applied gel builder, which I didn't want or need. Typically, my gel manicures last at least three weeks without any issues at all, but this one barely made it a week before breaking and chipping. The finish was also noticeably bumpy, far from the smooth, polished look I expect from a professional manicure. I've attached photos to show the subpar results. While the ambiance and staff friendliness were highlights, the quality of the gel manicure itself was a huge letdown.
