Hidden gem in middle of strip mall. The staff is so polite and so very talented. They take care of my whole family's feet and my girls love their manicures. Quality is top-notch and friendly, wholesome vibe with outstanding service a pleasant change for the ho-hum of other places. FANTASTIC and excellent value too!! read more

I am a long-time customer of 7 years. VA Nails has offered consistent excellent service, cleanliness, and skilled, kind staff. I was referred to this salon by a friend who was new to the area. I was surprised that I didn't know about this place being that I am from the area. We have had positive, memorable experiences with all of the nail technicians, great pedicures, and a welcoming environment. I give VA Nails a well-deserved 5-star review! Thank you for being awesome every time! You are appreciated. Best, Tia read more

Small but mighty salon in a strip mall-type building in Sterling. We were nearby for an event and my kiddo and I had 2 hours to spend waiting for the other kiddo before we could head back to DC. We called and this salon was able to take us right away. I got what turned out to be the best pedicure I've had in at least a year! Wide selection of colors, massage chairs that work, clean spaces, reasonable price packages, and they were SO NICE. My technician was meticulous with his work, unlike many other technicians I have had elsewhere who barely look at their work and don't actually push back the cuticles effectively or trim the sides or under the nails. Just phenomenal work. I selected the spa package, which included paraffin wax and extra massage all for only $45. They gave my kiddo the manicure she wanted (black and white nails) and some Halloween candy. They even had the football game on! If I am ever back that way, I will for sure stop by. read more

I went the other day for a full set and I had pictures of the styles I wanted. They didn't even care to look at my pictures and just sat me down. They asked me to pick a color for my pedicure and I showed them the picture of the one I wanted again. They just said ok. Then they asked me if I wanted glitter, I said no, and decided to show them the picture for the third time. They said they were going to do something similar and just did my pedicure in white which was nothing alike the one I wanted. When it was time to do my manicure, they asked me to pick a color. I showed them the picture of the manicure I wanted and they brought in a light pink to start. They said they were gonna put it in and if I didn't like it they were gonna take it off. The pink they put in was way lighter than the pink in the picture I showed them. So, I told them I didn't like it. They took it off and told me they were not able to do the manicure I wanted and said they were going to do something much better. They brought a white nail polish and proceeded to do one of my nails. Then they asked me if I liked it. I said I was ok and they did all my nails in that color. I went in today and asked them if they could fix. They said they couldn't because they were too busy (they only had two customers). So, I decided to go somewhere else to get my nails fixed. In the other place, I was told that my nails had chemicals that were illegal (not meant to be used in nails). read more

Great experience! I needed a very simple gel manicure in a pink color (with some sparkle!) and they did a great job! Wednesday morning pretty much right when they opened, I was the only one in there! Courteous, friendly staff. Very clean and professional environment! Completely reasonable prices comparable to other salons in the area! I will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Va Nails 2 - Crisp edges amazing nail work by "May" - Nail Salons Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

My friend and I came here after work last week and asked for two gel manicures. When the technicians sat us down, she sat us at different tables. I kindly asked if we could sit next to each other-- we wanted to chit chat! The technician obliged for about five minutes, and then moved us apart. The entire time I was getting my manicure, someone (who appeared to be of management status) was leaning over my technician and coaching her what to do. It was quite clear that the girl who was doing my nails was "in-training." It was also clear that mine was probably the first manicure she ever did; the manager was telling her which polish to put on, how many coats, etc. I totally understand that in order to be good at what you do, you must practice... But why practice on a paying customer? Train the technicians on other workers or family members before you offer their services for the public to purchase. Three days later, the gel manicure chipped in two places. Bummer. I went back and rather than remove the existing polish and re-paint the nail, the technician simply painted over it three or four times. She kindly re-painted all of my nails to make them look even, but I left the salon not entirely ecstatic about the fix. Today (the day after the fix), the five layers of polish started to tear apart, primarily on the finger that needed fixed. I have had maaaannnnyyy gel manicures and have never had the polish chip after three days. It looked so bad, I tore the rest of the polish right off of my finger nails. I have never had gel polish come off so quickly or easily. What a disappointment. That's $30 I'll never see again. read more

I came here for the first time today because I moved recently to sterling and I'm sick of driving to Centreville to get my nails done. I called and made an appointment and they were very friendly and helpful, they got me in within 30 minutes! Nice! I got a plain mani and pedi, and it was only $40!!! That's about $15 cheaper than the old salon I went to, but sometimes I worry what kind of quality I'm giving up to save that much money. In this case, none! My nails look great, and I always choose a nude color which sometimes is very hard to make look right, but they did a great job. After she finished my pedicure she asked me to sit for a few minutes and let my nails dry, I did and even got to wear those sexy foam flip flops they give you home. When I got home I double checked to make sure my polish was dry, and it felt dry to me... Well unfortunately one toe didn't feel that way and I totally ruined my nice freshly polished nails. I was so bummed, it's Valentine's Day, I have cute shoes showing off my toes for tonight and I just totally ruined them. My friend suggested to try and see if they would re-do that one toe for me. Well, I did and they did! No questions asked, the woman quickly fixed my mistake, she even still remembered the polish I used. I was so impressed, and so happy I finally found a great nail salon right down the street from me! read more

Vivianne was so sweet! She helped me pick out a color and tried it on herself to help me decide. Color choice ended up being perfect! She was very neat and careful. I will definitely be coming back to her! Highly recommend! read more

I've been frequenting this salon for the past few months and have found it to be probably the best in the area. The staff are very personable and are not afraid to take creative liberty/suggest certain designs or colours! Donna specifically was very patient with my friends and I. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone in the area or passing though that needs a quality mani/pedi/wax. read more

Va Nails 2 - Gel mani w/ french tips - Nail Salons Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

My visit was very uncomfortable and after leaving I noticed that there are cuts on my fingers which is painful. The technician continued to dig her longer nails into my fingers. She continued to do so even after I mentioned that my finger was bleeding. Hours after I left, my fingers still hurt. I don't think I will come back. read more

Was initially pleased with the service I received at this salon, however when I look at my nails now, I see that the polish is bumpy and unevenly coating my nails and (even worse) my cuticles are torn to shreds! I will not return to this salon. read more

Not sanitary at all, they were not professional or friendly, made me wait a very long time, very pushy to get me to do other services, and my manicurist was invasive and rude....not to mention my nails look horrible ( crooked, lumpy polish, entire nail not painted, and that's with me constantly asking her can you please file it better, or you missed a spot etc etc) read more

I WOULD NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE.. I went in for a under arm wax service ( by the way im from MD but i was around the area and i said let me try this place) anyways first there was only one lady there she began to do it she was nice asking if the wax was hot or ok but then the wax was getting hotter and hotter so I guess she turn it off i dont know what she did but then since she was the only one in the place someone walk in and left me in the room with doors wide open while i was on my bra ONLY. Okay... then she came back with her sorry sorry sorry at this time i still had wax on my armpit and it was sticky when she place the cotton or what ever is call and when she pulled it OMG I was in pain! Then another lady came in the room I guess another worker who knows and then started to argue about the wax in their language all I understood was the wax being change or what ever something about chocolate? Now this other lady took over and I nicely ask her to blow the wax before she place it on my armpit and she said no is not hot and when I felt the wax on my armpit OMG again! And she is like what? Is not hot is not hot! Im like lady im the one feeling it! So to make this review shorter, service was horrible i can barely feel my armpits I know they will be so irritated and painfull. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL! I would give a 0 start! The end read more

I always go to Michael to get my shellac done, however I haven't been going lately. I'm trying to find a place closer to home in Alexandria. The prices are great, and they really do take their time there, they never rush you out. They give excellent post manicure massages. The staff is always welcoming and very friendly. There's plenty of parking, huge bonus. Tip.. Schedule an appointment. If you want to see Michael. You wont regret it. read more

After being manhandled by 2 other local places, going to these guys was great. I got the gel nails. They did a wonderful job. The guy that works there did a good job, for the most part, but couldn't get my nail tips straight instead of some kind of curvy straight type thing. I had to fix them. He seemed like he was trying to rush through it and if I'm paying these prices, YOU need to make ME feel like your prices are WORTH it. Kristi is great here, though. :) read more

Va Nails 2 - The lady with the freckles is very sweet and does a great job. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

What a delightful surprise! 1st time here. NEEDED a fill so opened up Yelp and read reviews. Very clean. Nice staff. May is wonderful!!! I'll definitely return. Thanks for great work and service. read more

Outstanding! I needed to have my gels filled, so I decided to try this place, based on the reviews. I was not disappointed! Their color selection was minimal, so I was glad I brought my own. If you want something other the basic reds and pinks, I suggest bringing it with you. They did have a couple of blues and a green, but again, not a big selection. I got a deluxe pedi which ended up costing $40. A little steep, but I hadn't had a pedi in an embarrassingly obscene amount of time and thought those little piggies of mine deserved a bit of TLC. The girl was, but not great. Her polish job is a little janky, but I have to wear closed toed shoes for work so I didn't fuss. I really just wanted the clip, scrub, and massage. After my pedi, I went to a gentleman to get my fills. He took his time and did an amazing job! I absolutely love them. They look natural - not too thick. I will definitely go back to him next time. The polish is perfect with no spots on my skin. I paid a total of $75 total before tip. read more

They were okay. I would not go back. I just felt like the pedicure lady was a bit rough.

Great job. Got a spa pedi, full set of acrylics, and an eyebrow wax. 100% on all counts! Kim and Mae were great and did fabulous jobs. read more

Stay away from this place! First degree burn on my eyelid after an eyebrow wax!! If I could give it a zero, I would, especially since the lady tried to tell me it was because "I touched" read more

I live near the salon, and wanted to get a pedicure and manicure without having to spend a ton of money. I read the yelp reviews and decided to give this place a try. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and asked to pick my polish color. There wasn't a wait, so as soon as I picked my polish, they were ready to see me. The salon is fine, your typical nail place with massage chairs and so on. They do waxing and other stuff in the back, but I didn't get any of those services. I asked for the spa pedicure and spa manicure. The pedicure was excellent, the man did a very good job on my feet and legs. The manicure was okay. The initial scrub and lotion were okay. However, my polish isn't even, and it's a bit messy. I don't know if he was in a rush because it was lunch time or what. I might go back and ask for new polish, but we'll see. read more

Quiet and very clean spa. Private parking. I've been to salons all over the country. This one is in my top 3. Appointment needed however she is highly accommodating. As long as I live here it will be my place to relax. read more

I don't have anything good to say about this place. I paid for a job I did not liked. The lady did not even knew what a mate finish was. I showed her exactly what I wanted and she tried to fix it what's it was too late. Asked her for square nails and got rounded nails, and they look like I painted them with my left hand. Definitely not coming back. read more

I love this place. I usually go with John, but everyone there is amazing. So friendly, fast, and professional. My nails always look great.

This was a great find thanks to Yelp! I am very happy with this place. I have been to several other places in this area and have been unsatisfied with the majority. This place takes the cake! Awesome awesome service!! I highly recommend this place! read more

John did awesome job and very careful .

I came here for a mani/pedi after reading the reviews and the number of stars given by reviewers. The gal who worked on my nails and toes did a fantastic job. I've been searching for my go-to place and I think I may have found it! read more

Horrible service! I came in with my friends and sister and had asked for a pedicure and a full set with designs.. My sister had asked the lady where the gel nails were and she told her to go sit down and when I said something they told me to calm down. They also never gave me a pedicure or a design like I asked.. Don't recommend at all. read more

I read the reviews before I walked in and this was the perfect end to an awesome day! The pedi was amazing.. There were 3 types and I went for the deluxe. Jeni took her time and was very detailed.. She did my pedi, gels, and brows! I will def add this in my monthly T2D! read more

This may have been the worst manicure I've ever gotten. I read the reviews and was looking forward to a good experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't what I got. The female manicurist was disinterested and not good. The whole manicure from start to finish probably took no more than ten minutes. She cut my nails but didn't smooth the edges. She cut two of my cuticles to the point where they bled. No apology or even acknowledgement that my fingers were bleeding. No offer of an antibiotic or anything. The coats of polish she put on a completely uneven. I do a better job at home than what I received at this salon. The website says that a manicure includes a paraffin treatment and massage. Didn't get either. Save your money. read more

Nice people but when I went to check out, I didn't realize I had chosen a gel polish. The nail polish I chose was not marked as costing more than a regular mani-padi. My total was $80. The technician did not specify there would be an additional charge. Worst part of all is that my nails started peeling two days later. read more

very rude owner... the lady (donna) was yelling and screaming to this customer in the shop while others were all starring at her. she's almost never available and doesn't know squad about customer serivice she lies to you about he prices and adds 20% tip to the final price without telling you she's doing that. i do not recommend this place because read more
