    Tropical nail has a great group of nail technicians that make you feel very comfortable in there place of business I will recommend Steve or Nancy to do your nails

    This joint is off the chain! I had Charlene as my technician and she was amazing! Clean area, owners seemed very nice, a lot of nail colors! Totally amazing!!! Must go!! Ask for Charlene!!!

    I've been here twice. The first time was a great experience (I got a pedicure from Minh!). However, this time, I recieved a messy manicure. The edges looked very unrefined, there is polish left on my skin, and some of the polish over-floods my cuticles. When I asked if they could fix some of the nails, they simply painted more polish over it. It took almost 2 hours for this end result... I felt like I could've painted my own nails at home, and it would've turned out better than this. The people were nice to me, but I felt like I didn't get my money's worth because of this manicure work.

    Been coming to this shop since September and I love it. The shop is spacious and the customer service is amazing. I used to do walk-ins but because of how busy they tend to get I make appointments now. I haven't had any real problems with my sets from here, besides my chrome peeling off within one day that I was able to get fixed the following day. I don't think the tech I had really knew what she was doing because she had to ask another tech questions. My nails do round out kinda fast in-between fills which I hate but other than that I've been pleased with my nails since coming here. My current set has held up nicely and my crystals are all still intact, not to mention I work in a warehouse so I can be hard on my hands and nails most times.

    I wanted to feel pampered today...and I did. I lived in Waldorf at one point, but I'm definitely out of touch when it comes to what is actually good out here anymore. I've been to California Nails, Golden Nails, New Lady Nails and Vspa was suggested to me as well. I had to run an errand at the mall anyway, so I figured I could come here. I was their very first client this morning. I got a basic manicure with clear from Vaughn and I got lemongrass + green tea pedicure with white gel polish and I paid $98 for my services. I had great conversation with Vaughn over my mani - he gave me complimentary water and fresh fruit cup. My only pet peeve is nail techs not cleaning under the nails and although, I only got clear polish I was expecting a base coat + polish + top coat but alas, I only got one coat. (It's the little things that count!) I had a bomb ass pedicure though--completely worth the money. Tony was very patient, paid attention to detail and accommodating. He even brought a heater nearby us, so that I didn't get cold from drafts in the building. I was completely relaxed and enjoyed myself. My service included regular pedi + callous removal + exfoliation + massage + paraffin wax. I would definitely re-visit and recommend over most of the nail salons I used to frequent. Check the pictures to see the process and end product.

    My Bestfriend Took Me A Date On Valentines Day & We Got A Champagne & Rose Pedicure With Hot Stones Added. Minh Did Mines & Tony Did Hers. I Haven't Had A Pedicure In A While And That Was The Best Thing All Day. I'm Definitely Coming Back For Minh.‼‼

    They are the best! I have gone to tons of nail places but I always end up going back to tropical nails. They are a tad expensive but nothing too crazy but it is reasonable because they do a great job. My set was $60 but I got a full set with accent nails (see photos) I mostly walk in but if you're going to go on a busy day it's better to schedule an appointment. If you can ask for Frank, he is the absolute best! My latest set was done by him and they came out beautiful. I did Halloween themed nails

    I went to this nail salon yesterday with my boyfriend and I had a guy named Terry he was very disrespectful and rude when I said down he says ew do you have any nails and I said yes I just bite my nails really bad so he's been rough and he cuts four of my fingers so at this point I'm making a face because of the discomfort and pain in he says girl it does not hurt that bad and I was like how you gonna tell me that it doesn't hurt that bad how about i beat your ass and I tell you that itdon't hurt that bad

    JadynCruz09 C.

    the prices were good, my fill set was $35, i got someone named david and he cut me twice but was polite about it. overall it was a good experience and i would definitely go again

    I think this is a 2nd or 3rd degree burn no polish at all this must be after I told her several times that the paraffin wax burned

    Today my daughter and I patronized this business and it was the worst experience. First the receptionist asked if we could wait to see if an appointment show up which they did not. The gentleman once we showed what service we wanted immediately said "I don't have time for that service. Like I was going to change my mind. He comes back to service my daughter and then a young lady comes to service me. They've been talking to each other the entire time and at one point he looked at my foot after she said something and they both laughed. But anywho, the service went on and it just hurt so bad even the callus removing (normally tickles) but it hurt today I was burned by the paraffin wax, I mean I'm telling her this burns and she's running water on me and still squishing it around. I've been checked on maybe four times during this visit and I'm not happy at all. Just to bring this up I came here June 10th for an eyebrow service that I was not happy about I naturally have thick eyebrows and told the water o wanted them thin she did not listen took a little off and tells me what looks better, I had a photo shoot later that day and they only offered for her to redo them I said no paid and left very upset. I went to another nail salon where she arched and shaped my eyebrows perfectly and my pictures came out exactly like I wanted. But back on today...., I will not come back here!!! Before COVID this salon was the best that Waldorf offered and now it's a little too careless for what I'm accustomed to. Allura Nail Bar on Central Avenue Janet is the owner and she treats me better than family!!!! Today o woke up and my nails are black I'm so angry!!!!

    Nails by Danny! I've received so many compliments!
    Terrenda W.

    Danny was my nail tech! I walked in, showed him what I wanted and he executed it! He's a very sweet and polite man and he will definitely be seeing me more often

    Look at the edgings how bad! This looks like my daughter did her own nails

    My daughters just left the nail salon and called me telling me they did not do what they asked them to do. They have just lost my business. I've poured a lot of money into this place over the years but they have gone down hill.

    Charlene is really good, gotten my nails twice with her, and I'm already planning my third trip. She works fast and clean. No wonder she's always booked. Super clean and super nice staff. I definitely recommend!!!! Update: Charlene is the best

    Booking has consistently been a challenge. In my experience, George does excellent work when he…read moreshows up--but he has failed to appear twice. I have to carefully coordinate my schedule and meetings, so a no-show is unacceptable. Today, service was refused by another staff member without any explanation. I had called ahead to inform them that the person getting a massage would be running late, and I was told it would be fine, with the understanding that the massage might be shortened to allow time for completing forms. However, when the masseuse entered the room, they had a noticeably negative attitude about the situation. ME as a whole has been going downhill since the pandemic. Turnover is ridiculous and customer service is hit or miss. Here is an excerpt from a similar situation, this review was posted 4/21/25: ".... was scheduled for a 2:00 PM massage appointment with Karen. Upon walking back with her, I asked for clarification about a comment made by the front desk associate, Elisa (sp), who mentioned, "You should get the best service she can give you since you're late." I simply wanted to understand what that meant. Karen responded with an unnecessarily sharp and dismissive tone, saying, "What does that have to do with anything?" Her response felt disrespectful and unprofessional, especially considering my cultural sensitivity to tone and communication style. At that point, I decided to cancel the appointment, as I no longer felt comfortable proceeding. The person who checked me in then informed me that I would be charged for being canceling, I would rather pay the fee than be massaged by someone who addressed me in such a manner." Read the reviews.....customer service is an ongoing issue.

    I purchased a 3-pack massage gift series ($300) at the Waldorf, MD location on June 30, 2025. I was…read moretold the recipient could "just walk in" and redeem the package at any Massage Envy location. That turned out to be completely false. The recipient, who understands how Massage Envy works, attempted to schedule on July 2nd. She was told the next available appointment at Waldorf wasn't until August -- even though online availability showed several openings within a few days. It felt like the staff was purposely making it difficult to redeem the gift. When I confronted them, they suggested trying another location. That second location said the gift could only be used at the original Waldorf store -- again, contradicting what I was told during purchase. I called Waldorf to escalate, but was refused access to a manager and even given a fake corporate phone number. The entire experience was unprofessional, dishonest, and frustrating. The associate who sold me the package appeared to know she'd misled me but offered no help. Unless this is resolved, I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Never too much commotion or loud talking like at other salons. I always call ahead to see when there is availability. My nails never break, they last an entire month! I'm someone who does not really enjoy nail days, so I push my nail appointments off.

The technician was polite, but she immediately began cutting my natural nails without asking if I wanted them shortened. I had to stop her. Clients should always be consulted before altering their natural nails. During my service, the pedicure tub was left running and overflowed onto the floor. An older gentleman who had just walked in as a customer offered to help clean it up while I was sitting there soaking. That was kind of him, but it should not have happened in a professional setting. It became clear that only one technician was trying to service me and two other clients simultaneously. I was there for three hours, no joke. Eventually, her sister was called in to assist. When she arrived, she questioned the type of product on my nails and debated with me about whether it was dip powder. She also began criticizing my regular nail tech and repeatedly tried to upsell me on overlays after I explained that I naturally have thin nails. The pedicure portion felt rushed and heavy-handed toward the end. To make matters worse, when I was ready to pay, I was told they only accept Zelle or cash. There was no visible notice of this beforehand. I do not carry cash and was directed to an ATM, which charged a fee. After spending three hours there, that was extremely frustrating. Despite the overall experience, I was still asked if I wanted to add eyebrow services. I came in simply needing my nails and toes done. Instead of leaving relaxed, I left feeling stressed and inconvenienced. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

I went to Tig for take down service of the hairstyle in the picture. This is the second time I've come here for take down service and been satisfied. As an African American woman who loves her protective styling, I loathe the take down process. Each time I've come here I've called the day of and been able to obtain same day services. I didn't have to schedule a month out like some places. I wasn't overcharged for length or size of braids. I wasn't overcharged for a wash and blow dry. I admit I was skeptical going to anyone [non-black] but I'm so glad I took a chance and you should too. They were gentle with my hair and used heat protection. Oh my take down included a shampoo, condition, blow dry, and flat iron. I opted to forego the flat iron because I wear it in its natural fluffiness. I thought they were kind and communicated what I wanted the entire time. I was in and out within 2.5 hours I think. Each time I've gone, it's only been max 4 people and that includes the stylists, which is nice. Some places are fast but packed and the customer service takes a back seat. I had good service and I don't want to gate-keep so you are welcome. Tell one, tell all....maybe not all lol. Enjoy~
