I came to get a mani pedi after seeing the reviews. I haven't had much luck with nail salons since I've been in the area for the last 2 months so I was nervous. I was serviced by the young boy who you could tell was in training and although he didn't do a great job, I was willing to work with him. His mother watched him and noticed that he wasn't so a fantastic job and she came over to get the job done for him. Lisa was amazing! You can tell she's very much so experienced. She did my mani and pedi and it's by far one of the best I've ever had. I was so happy with the results. I'll definitely be back and will absolutely request Lisa. read more

Moved from California and they saved my nails. The last who did my nails was very kind and I had a good time chatting with her.

I came here and trusted these women and gave a good tip. Not only did they cut my cuticle to deep. My finger nail was on fire and she had to keep pouring alcohol on my nail to cool down. I asked for ombré and you can clearly see this is not ombré. Btw I had to go to the hospital for the pain and after I had to go to a different nail salon to help me and they did ! Thank you JULEP Nails read more

Vip Nails - Nails done at this salon , very ugly and unsatisfied - Nail Salons Near Me - Newington, Virginia

Need more techs I went to get my nails done the first time and I liked then the tech who did my nails went on vacation and I made an appointment with another tech and she told me she doesn't do acrylic so it was like I had to accommodate her. She ended up doing the acrylic but it felt like an inconvenience. Please hire more techs with skills and it would get a 5 star. read more

Went here to get out of the traffic and it turned out to be one of the best experiences that I've had at a nail salon. I got a gel manicure and the shape and size of each nail was identical. I had great conversation with the lady who did my nails there. Everyone at the nail salon was very friendly. The manicure stayed good for a long time also, there was no chipping I only needed to get a new manicure because my nails had grown out too much and too much nail bed was showing. read more

Vip Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Newington, Virginia

Love this place, never have been disappointed even if every time I go here it seems that I get a new nail tech, but they're all good. The prices are reasonable and they usually have no more than 3 people working, but they tell you realistic time waits and give great customer service and quality work. I had acrylic over my real nails and the nail tech was able to save my nails and let them breathe. $40 for take off, cut down and gel manicure - very satisfied! read more

I've moved to the area and been searching for a decent nail salon. After reading on yelp; I've decided to visit this place. It is very small place but intimate. Lisa took care of me during this visit and explained their loyalty program which is $10 off of the 10th visit. So far, I've had my gel manicure on 10 days and no chip or anything pedicure still on and shining. I will definitely go back again. read more

Tried to search for a new nail salon in the area. Came here as it was on my way home. A manicure is $15 (which to me was pretty pricy as to what I usually pay back home (CA) just for a mani). The manicurist was very nice and friendly. Although I wasn't too impressed with the outcome I received once I was done. My cuticles were poorly cut and not fully cleaned (see photo) and my nail polish coating wasn't clean either. She did not use a brush to clean off the edges, instead she used her thumb nail to take off the excess polish. She even cut the skin on the side of my nail as she was cleaning my cuticles (at least she apologized and KNEW she cut me). Unfortunately, I'd have to give this place a 2 star due to the poor job of cleaning and putting nail polish. But, the ladies there were kind and friendly. I'd have to say that I am still going to be searching for a new nail salon to go to. The search continues... read more

Excellent manicurists/pedicurists and lovely women. By far the best place I've been to and at a much better price than others in the DMV. Their gel manicures last so nicely for so long I've strayed from my 3 week schedule because I've been able to stretch it to more like a month. read more

I will come back, even though 4 stars. Typically I feel like most salons give you some sort of sugar scrub or oil/lotion massage with any basic pedicure this place did not. Was my first time so maybe just the gal who I got today. She was very nice and a perfectionist. Steady but no wait time and had plenty colors to choose from. I also got a bonus card that after so many times you got $10 off! read more

Vip Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Newington, Virginia

I came here because of the good reviews that I read online but I didn't even get the opportunity to experience anything because they turned me away at the door; claiming that they do not take any walk-ins....smh. The place only had two customers in there. Also, she's was very abrupt and basically trying to get rid of me...They do not close today until 7:30pm so I can't understand why wouldn't they want to fit in another possible customer. VIP Nails is literally 2-3 minutes from my job but they will never see me again!!! read more

Cathy is outstanding. My acrylics are never bulky, always thin enough to mimic the natural nail and the polish is flawless!!!! She is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail. Sometimes I will tell her what I'm looking for, she will recommend a shade and it always comes out better than I could've imagined. She stays booked up so book in advance. Also they have a ton of gel and SNS colors so that's a major plus. Would highly recommend Cathy. read more

This is my second time visiting VIP Nails. Suzanne did my nails both times and it true, she does a fantastic job. It's been two weeks since my last appointment and my nails still look fab. These are my real nails with gel overlay to keep them strong with long last polish. I highly recommend VIP Nails. Suzanne is professional, detailed and gets you out. The 3 most important things to me. read more

Cathy is a wonderful addition to this salon. She does great nails and her customer service is superb!!! I love the spa like feeling I get when I'm there. It's quiet and just overall peaceful. Again I say Cathy is the best nail tech I've ever had and I've been getting my nails done for over 25 years. Her designs are very creative and I receive compliments after every visit. read more

I love this shop and Susan is my favorite nail designer ever. I am so glad I found her. I am a VERY picky nail client and I do the works. I do full set gel manicure with art. She nails it (no pun intended lol) every.single.time! And usually when I have no idea what to do next I don't trust anyone to do whatever they want... but with her I am her canvas. Such a great nail experience every time. read more

Great long lasting mani/pedi. Clean, pleasant environment and excellent efficiency. You may need an appointment.

Ms. Cathy is the best!!! Her designs are beautiful and she'll come up with really great and artistic ideas.

Very clean place (which I value most in nail salons). The technician promptly did pedicure and gave me advice on my ingrowing toenail. Then my eye brow was shaped as exactly as what I requested for. Great work! It's a bit out of my way but I am willing to come back for good service here. read more

I went here once to get my eyebrows done. They didn't do such a great job so I didn't return. But something told me to go back. I went back and had my nails done with dip. Phenomenal job. My technician spent hours perfecting my nails and doing exactly what I wanted. I will def be back for a nail job. I will try their peti too. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have tried most of the local salons and this is the best by far. The staff is genuine and friendly. The spa treatment is fantastic. They do a great job on my ingrown toenails. Recommend this place highly. read more

Vip Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Newington, Virginia

I enjoyed my experience at VIP Nails. Susan was awesome-- wonderful talk to, very skilled at what she does. My mani was painless and nails are flawless. She's also very, very clean!! Very important in a nail salon. I looked over at a couple of the other clients while there and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The spa pedi looked amazing!! Everyone's nails looked really good. The only reason why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is cause of the decor inside. But what can you do...very price effective salon and great service. I'll take the drawback of the ambiance. read more

Really nice shop I came across while in the DC area. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service for the price. I got a full set and paid for 2 pedis for about $85. read more

The hours posted online stated they would close at 7:30, I arrived with more than an hour to spare and was asked if I did not mind waiting. Informed that would be no problem I just asked how long the wait would be. The owner rudely let me know that I would be better off coming back with an appointment because they usually fill up and only prioritize their appointments first. I ended leaving and will not return due to rude customer service. If those are there rules they should post them somewhere so people don't waste a trip there for nothing read more

Made an appointment, still treated like a walk in. Other people who walked in after me got to pick a color from the wall. I had a messy bunch of samples thrown in front of me by my tech who didn't even say hi. I asked for designs on my fingers, she refused to do it and made up an excuse, even though I was willing to pay per nail just like every other place I've ever been to. The best way to describe my experience is rushed. Gel manicure started chipping the next day, deteriorating after two weeks. $50. No thanks. read more

This is the best nail salon I have experienced in 9 years. Susan is extremely professional , she does take her time , interact with customers , her ability at painting nails is incredible I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a job well done Thanks to my baby sister who encouraged me to visit her. I will surely come back in 3 weeks read more

A back to basics pedicure experience. Not rushed. Detailed. Conscience about letting coats dry in between. Great foot massage. Well worth the trip here! read more

Vip Nails - I'm not a fan of pedicures BUT this is the best pedicure experience I've ever had. My woman is thorough and detailed. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newington, Virginia

Inconsistent quality of services. My sister and I went for pedis and the young guy did a pretty good job with my sister's cuticles, but the lady with short hair (and a backwards cap) did an awful job on my feet. She kept looking at my toes and exchanging tools like she's never seen feet before. The more knowledgable ladies who were working here did not really care when I asked for someone else to clean up the polish. The cuticle cleaning, massage and polish application were a huge disappointment. I am sure they need new staff with a growing clientele, but the can't leave workers who OBVIOUSLY don't know what they are doing to their own devices. I also did not see any of the techs swap to sterilized tools between clients once. Than we when get home, my sister's polish looks even messier than mine. I came here based on reviews and this was my experience. I will not come back. read more

Amazing!!! I have been having a hard time finding a place that had both good service and skilled nail technicians.......FOUND the HOLY GRAIL of nails. I have never experienced a nail tech that finished a full set with perfection in literally 20 mins and didn't take cuticle skin off when using the electric file. She nailed the coffin shape I asked for and is very funny actually. It was my first time here but I felt like they known me forever. Yaaassss finally!!! I'm so happy I discovered VIP Nails read more

If you ever think of spoiling your self come and bring your girlfriends and family even your husband to this salon guaranteed you will enjoy the services they're offering they're not just there to do your nails but they really go beyond their service to give you a enjoyable experience.Susan and her staff always been professional and caring people even they are busy they always make sure to accommodate everyone.this place is HEAVEN FOR RELAXING. read more

Susan and the girls are amazing. So nice and so good at why they do!! Check out her designs on ig too

Third time's the charm! Being new to the area I've tried 2 other nail salons and was less than impressed. A friend recommended Susan & I've been going back ever since! The staff is wonderful & really takes their time with each client. The salon is clean & beautifully decorated. Prices are very reasonable for the area. My new favorite place to get pampered! read more

Cute, clean little place but not just that...I have been very pleased with my pedicures and acrylic nails, the nails stay even with everything I put them through. Im very picky but Susan takes really good care of her clients, very good at what she does and very professional. I recommend this place:) read more

Wife and I love this place. Susan and her team take care of us every time. Very friendly staff and a clean professional place.

Great experience each time I have went. The lady who does my nails is always very sweet and very friendly. I love this location because its so close to go pamper myself while on an extended lunch from work. read more

Very friendly staff. I see Cindy mostly and she does a great job. Good value for the price. Check to see if there is staff available because sometimes it gets busy. 3rd place I tried in the area and I've been coming here for 2 yrs. read more

So far so good... First time here and Chi treated me well. I stubbed my toe and came back the next day to have it re-polished. Chi greeted me back and re-polished both big toes with no problem. read more

Wonderful salon! I went in for SNS hoping to score a chair as a walk-in and was seen after a 20 minute wait. There are a limited amount of powders and I'm glad to have been able to be seen so close to the apartments. Eyebrows were quick and painless! Thanks VIP read more

Love this place! I've been going here for about a year and always leave loving the experience. These ladies are fabulous at what they do! They genuinely care about making their clients happy and the results are clear by the number of repeat customers that come in. I won't go anywhere else :D read more

Don't go here for a eye brows, lady ruined mine and had the nerve to say it looks good
