After my first review the manager reached out to me to apologize for the wait and invite me back to give them another try, assuring me it wouldn't happen again. I was finally in the area and in need of a mani/pedi so I took him up on his offer. This time I didn't call ahead as it was during a work day at an off time. My gf and I were seen right away and had a much different experience. I'm very happy with my results, and I was very happy with how attentive our manicurists were to make sure we were able to sit together and enjoy our experience. Mistakes happen, I appreciate how Vy nails handled the situation and will gladly return in the future. read more

Tammy has been doing my nails for years in other locations so when she opened her own shop I was thrilled to support her! She knows her regular customers by name, greets you when you walk in and is always, always accommodating. They have state of the art nail services, lots of colors to choose from and they even do waxing and massages! It's super clean (even the hot towels smell amazing) and her salon is sterile and the pedicure chairs are simply fabulous. I cannot recommend this place enough - it's really nice to frequent an establishment where they care and treat you like family! I highly recommend it! read more

Vy Nails is under NEW management and has superb service!! I've been seeing these ladies in their previous location for years!

Vy Nails - Tammy has been doing my nails for years - she's one of the new owners of Vy Nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I went to Vy Nails today for a full set with gel polish top coat. The manager/owner and nail tech were both very nice people. The technical skills of the nail tech were not very strong because the polish was all over my cuticles and my skin glued to the nail. I asked the nail technician to please clean the cuticle before I cured it in the UV light and she said she would clean after the curing.. I thought to myself that sounds more difficult, but let's see. She tried to clean up the polish on my cuticle and my glued finger with a nail file. It was hurting I flinched a couple times then she cut me pretty deep and I swiped my hand away in pain. She immediately got up and put barbicide on my cut which is similar to hand sanitizer and it burned terribly. My skin is still glued to the nails and polish on my cuticle. I asked if they could compensate me for the trouble and the manager gave me $5 off of my $50 bill. I left the tech a $5 tip. I won't be back and I won't recommend this nail salon to anyone. read more

Hi you guys! Welcome to the worst salon of DMV I went in there 2 days ago, just wanted a gel manicure. The lady up sold me the dip nails bc she believed my nails were too thin to get gel paint on em straight. So, I'm sitting there giving her the benefit of the doubt like okay she should know what she's talking about. Anyways we start, she does her whole thing, maan the lady doesnt even know how to file off that dip even with the machine properly and make it look smooth my nails kinda look bubbly now which I hate. Borderline ratchet. Anyways after that, she couldn't file them the way I wanted so I said let me show you so I filed one of em to show her she still can't do it like damn just How BAD can u be at ur job you know.. Anyways she leaves me filing my own nails and come back with an attitude talking about are you done. I'm like seriously bish , anything should be done is you with this job lmao I didn't say that of course but was thinking that for SuRE! AnywYs she start painting, messy as hell. I told her can u get the paint off my cuticles the lady started flipping talking about let me do my job! I'm like girl calm down cuz if u were doing ur job right I would not be saying anything but sit there and smile. Anyways this other lady comes and finishes is just as bad as the other lady!! Omg they're all so bad to the point it was kinda funny lol Anyways I paid $50 for shitty as nails that a 10 year old can probably do better. All they said was sorry we tried our best. Lmao what kind of service is that!! Idk about u but I like my nails look like they're professionally done when I'm paying for them not like an amateur job. read more

Stopped by this place two weeks ago for a quick massage. My I was feeling pain from way to much sitting at my job. The massage was n ice but I noticed some things different from massage place I have been to. A whole sheet covered me with large heavy towel like blanket on top of the sheet. I have had so many massages that I have forgotten this is the correct way of doing a massage. Only the part of the body being massaged was visible. The biggest thing that stood out for me was the massage cream she used. It had some sort of menthol in it. I could feel a tingling sensation through my body as the cream was rubbed in. The sore muscles from long hours of sitting vanished over time. she continued to massage me and by the time she was done, i felt like a new man. This place is nice. Might have to try the nail stuff next time. The other thing I noticed is there is an ATM machine in their store. It is the first nail salon I have seen have this. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but I hope this is helpful to others considering this place. I asked for the $29 pedicure. To my surprise, they charged me $38 because they said I asked for a hot towel. I never requested one, the lady doing my pedicure offered one (which I barely understood because I don't think she spoke much English) and I said ok - completely unaware that it would be extra. When I explained to the man running the place, he insisted I asked for the $38 pedicure. I paid it, but I definitely won't be back and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wonderful ladies, great service and nails, very sweet and thoughtful. They were very accommodating for all our needs and everything. Will be back soon and I would highly recommend this place for a pedicure (that's what I got) definitely check them out!! Thank you!! read more

I love this place, even if i have only been here twice. Jade and the manager have made me feel very welcome. They hold a great conversation while staying professional and doing their job very well. I love my nails even more the more I go. read more

My first experience was my best experience!! I went with my bestie to get a pedicure and let me say the customer service was the best when we first called. We were welcomed and offered wine, and my toes super cute! They literally went deep and took out all that gunk out which is what us lady need read more

I love Vy Nails- they are clean and professional and all the technicians are so friendly. They have all kinds of services although I prefer a simple mani/ pedi. Tammy, the owner, is amazing! read more

I have never been here before (it's sad because I'm always at the Starbucks next door or grabbing kabobs at Mazadar). Well, I'm glad I gave it a try. To be honest... I got an email from Groupon and this place was my deal of the day. The deal was totally awesome! For one European mani/pedi it was $18 and for two it was $35. I of course bought the two deal one. FYI, regular price for both mani/pedi is $37. I called ahead and made an appointment. I had to wait about five minutes but it was fine because it took me forever to choose a color. I agree with the other reviewers, the chair was totally confusing but after pushing a series of combinations I got it going. My whole experience was enjoyable, my mani/pedi came out really nice. The staff were very friendly and they offered complementary drinks. I would totally come back again. read more

I have been going to Vy Nails for years and always have had a pleasant experience. Their customer service is top notch and services as well. I regularly see Tammy the owner and she does a great job. Jade is awesome as well! read more

Love Vy Nails! I've been coming here for a year or more now for gel powder nails with gel polish. I also get my eyebrows waxed occasionally. I have had a few of the technicians (but mostly Tammy) and they have all been very good and spoken English well. I am disabled and they have always been very accommodating. They go out of their way to be nice and personable all while offering lots of good services. The location is great too! I go to the hair salon, dog groomer, deli, and Starbucks in the same strip mall. I've also been known to pop into the ABC store. :) read more

Just moved to the area and decided to give this place a shot and I'm happy I did! Jade did a great job with my dip powder nails. As soon as I sat down, they offered me a variety of beverages. Every employee was very kind. Jade also did my eyebrow wax, which I was skeptical of at first because they usually take too much off. Jade insisted just a 'clean up' and she did just that. I left with great looking nails and eyebrows! This salon didn't break the bank either. read more

Vy Nails - Dip powder nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Today was my first time to Vy nail salon, I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good salon. I had a very pleasant experience the girls where very nice and very professional. I love the nail polish color selection they have and the massage chairs are very comfortable. The thing I liked the most was the cleanliness of the place. The thing I was a little upset about was the fact that the nail polish bubbled in couple of places after the girl was done and unfortunately I didn't notice it until I came home. This is a nice place I will visit again. :-))) read more

Mehhhh had a manicure done it was sub par ..messy around the edges chipping day 2 .... Overall nice staff and welcoming but not sure I will be back read more

The atmosphere is relaxes, friendly, and just a great place to come to unwind. The staff is friendly they're patient and understanding. I take forever to choose a color but they're always willing to work with me. I highly recommend this place. It's clean efficient and classy! Have a been here a couple times and I'll continue to come back! They also have a surplus of colors to choose from! read more

I love going to VY Nails! They are always so kind and professional. They give you exactly what you want, unlike some nail places. I usually get my nails done by Tammy, she always recognizes me when I walk through the door and makes me feel special. Tammy always makes conversation and make the time fly! I have very sensitive nails and she was making sure that I was okay and she wasn't hurting at all throughout the process. I will never go anywhere else, because they are the best! read more

Jade is my favorite! She was my old nail tech about two years ago and I was so upset when she moved and I couldn't find out where she had gone! Finally after two years I found her again and I'm so happy! She's super sweet and pays a lot of attention to the detail in your gel, acrylics and SNS. Prices are fair and the staff here is super friendly! read more

I have gotten my nails done here with a group of girls for a bridal pampering before a wedding. Everyone's nails came out fantastic! This salon does a great job and we were happy with how our pedicures and manicures turned out. My mom also comes here as a regular customer and she is always raving about this place! read more

This is a family owned/operated business, and I have been coming here since 2010. I have never received a bad service for anything I paid for when coming here. I usually like to come during the weekdays, I shudder at the thought of weekends. Weekdays it's pretty quiet, and there's no pressure for anything. I personally love the Lavender Spa package, especially because I work on a horse farm and my muscles are always crying. These people are always rearranging the store to try and satisfy the demands of customers. They lifted the pedicure chairs in a way that the store doesn't seem as crowded and so the workers don't have to strain their backs while bending over to polish toenails. They added a dermalogica line to go along with their spa treatments, and dermalogica is a good brand to have at spas. (I've been using one of their acne treatments since I was a teenager). These people are clearly committed to their customers, trying to add the ambiance of a relaxing environment. As for their price, I would say it's a fair price for what I get. I usually ask for Lo Ann. Her English is broken, but she has a good heart and gentle nature. As for the other reviewers complaining about bad service, I would suggest trying to treat the people there with more patience. I honestly don't think I could work the hours these people do to put food on their tables at home, deal with stinky feet in my face, and being kind to people who are arguing with you. I have never received a bad service here, because I am friendly and nice to the people working there. "Not caring" about another human being's problems is highly insensitive. If you can truly buy your way into having such a mean spirit like that, then you do not need to use a groupon ticket. If you are a member of the middle class, and remember retail jobs that you probably had to work at in your teens or late twenties, try to remember how you would want to be treated by a customer. read more

I miss this place since I've moved out of the area. I used to go here on the regular for gel manicures. They are reasonably priced and clean. They worked quickly but do a perfect job. There are complimentary beverages for customers. My nails have never looked better than when I was a regular customer here. read more

This shop is fantastic! Owners John and Linh are fantastic! John creates flawless pink and white gel nails every time. This is by far the cleanest nail salon I've ever been in, they take pride in this shop. Offering massage, nail services and upscale polishes and beauty potions. If you are in Fairfax go to Vy Nails but make sure to make an appointment if you want to see John or Linh for your services. read more

Walked right in on a Saturday morning. Everyone was very nice from John, Loan and Jason. Jason did a super job on the pedi (wonderful massage) and probably the best shellac manicures that I've ever had!!. You can't beat the prices and there is a great selections of colors! Definitely will be going back!! Thanks, read more

I really like Vy nails. I never make an appointment and am usually serviced quickly - even on weekends. I don't mind to wait however. The staff is very nice and friendly. I think they do a good job and the prices are reasonable. I visit regularly and will continue! read more

Love this place! My roommate showed it to me once we moved out to Centreville. I have gone twice already and haven't been disappointed! The first time I just got a manicure and it held up nicely for over two weeks, then I came back and got a fill, as well as a pedicure and eyebrow tinting. My nails and eyebrows both turned out great. They are all very nice and friendly. It is a clean, peaceful environment. Tammy does a great job with nails and eyebrows!!! read more

We had a group of 5 people and they let us know when the best time to come in was. The owner and all of her employees were very nice. They offered bottled water. There were a lot of services to choose from and my gels came out very nicely. Overall, we had a great time. Make sure to tip in cash. No amex accepted. read more

I went there on my birthday to treat myself to a pedicure. It was the late afternoon and they had about 4 people working there and 4 customers when I arrived. They told me I only had to wait 10 minutes and after 20 minutes had me sit in the pedicure chair and soak my feet, only to have to wait another 20 minutes for one of the women to finish with her client. She apologized for my waiting and the job she did was decent. I was annoyed by the whole experience and may not go back. read more

I recently had my legs waxed and a mani/pedi here because my dogs were getting groomed nearby. The results from my experience at Vy Nails were: Leg waxing: If you want to still have stubble when you're "done" and you want broken blood vessels/bruises on your legs from where they applied/forced cold wax to your skin, you're at the right place. I was also told that I needed a mustache wax and had to fend her off. Nails: If you want to argue with your tech that you want your pedicure first because you'll be "reading a magazine" during the pedicure, again you're at the right place. If you want your cuticles cut to the point they bleed and then notice that the utensils are just laying around and suddenly worry they are not sterile, go to Vy Nails. There will be NO lower leg or arm massage during the mani/pedi process. They even instructed me not to take off my rings - there was no point. This was their "special". For what I paid, I could have gone to Elizabeth Arden, Bliss, etc... My "pampering" for a leg wax and mani/pedi cost a whopping $178 without tip. Be sure to ask for Lisa! She's a peach. P.S. If you do get a leg or bikini wax, prepare to be pulling your clothing off the sticky wax globs left behind. Particularly embarrassing with the bikini wax. read more

Mani/pedi great. Eyebrow wax - not happy with the result. It's important that they repeat your instructions - if you have them. If you just clean up but don't shape your brows it's better to do it at home. Because of my visit, I now have months to get the brows back to their desired fullness and shape...smh. read more

By far the best nail services I have ever received...and I get my nails done often. Definitely the best in the area, when I first got up here I tried many different salons before I found one I loved-and Vy Nails is it!! The place is clean with a nice atmosphere and I never have to wait to be taken back! The biggest selection of regular and gel nail color I have ever seen! The staff is incredibly friendly and talented; I believe I have experienced every technician and have not had one complaint about any of them! Usually I just get a pedicure with a gel manicure although I know they offer massages and eyebrow waxing. Honestly, I can go on and on about positive things about Vy nails. Would recommend them to anyone! read more

Went there on Mother's Day ..... thank goodness they were open since most nail salons aren't open on Sundays. My nail technician was thorough and attentive even though I was in the midst of studying for a big exam. Their prices are competitive with most salons. The establishment is clean and orderly; also. Something that is a MUST for me! read more

One of the worst pedis ive had. Not friendly might be clean but I wad in and out in 24mins. I can pay 5.00 less in south riding and get a much better pedi. Not sure if they haven't paid the hot water bill but kept asking for at least warm water nope was like doing the ice bucket challenge for my feet. I won't be coming back here again. Ill make the drive back down to south riding. read more

Pros: The hot towel treatment was very enjoyable. Cons: Don't believe the utensils were sanitized. Speedy, but not meticulous. read more

I recently tried out Vy Nails on a Groupon (for a European mani/pedi). I would say overall it was a decent experience, but I probably won't rush back there. Pros: The biggest pro for me was that my (non-gel) manicure lasted four days with ZERO chips. For me (a person frequently using my hands and prone to chipping), this was a pretty decent amount of time. Decent magazine collection. Efficient and friendly service. Complimentary beverages are available in a little mini-fridge; however, they did not tell me about them at first and I had to ask. Cons: They didn't really include any of "niceties" I've come to expect with a manicure/pedicure--the massage (they did a very quick one on the feet), any sort of scrubs, hot wax, etc. Obviously all that a manicure/pedicure technically entails is a coat of paint, but those little bonuses really make the experience, right? Also, I was not impressed by their color selection. However, I did notice that they seemed to have more options than you usually see for gel polishes, so if you are gel person, you might feel differently. I just didn't see a huge amount of variety or some OPI colors that I normally would go for. The massage chairs (for the pedicures) were also very hard to work, and the person doing my nails didn't help me out. So I kind of missed out on that part of the experience (it was either nothing or WAY TOO HARD, so I just turned it off). And finally, this is a little silly, but the TV I could see was tuned to the local PBS station--not exactly my dream programming for a relaxing spa experience. I would consider going back to them for a gel manicure, since that is what people seem to be raving about in other reviews. read more

I went in last night for a much needed break. I needed some me time. This shop is my most favorite place. Tammy treats you like Gold. All the ladies are friendly and they have a way of making you feel like you're home when you go in. I had my nails done - both hands and feet. At the completion of that I felt like I was walking on air. Then, I got my eyebrows tinted - what a lovely surprise. I find something new to do every time I go there. Maybe next time, I'll try the complimentary wine. Please if you have the time - take a trip to the Salon, you'll come away feeling brand new - Try the massage-you'll love it. Get a spa pedicure - pure heaven. Thanks Ladies for such a great time and Tammy I'll see you soon! read more

Tammy has created a warm and wonderful environment with her talented staff to fill your every nail, facial and massage needs. Tammy does a consistently excellent job on my nails ( and I am picky). She has added a neck massage that makes life worth living! I recommend all of their services. I have tried them all! I value Tammy's expertise and how she will accommodate my schedule. Can say enough great things about this salon! read more
