    My regular nail salon. They provide consistently great work, are friendly and convenient

    Still here 5 years later. I was searching for a nail technician during COVID, and Danny never seems to disappoint me. I said Green, and left with these polished, flawless, elegant nails . Thank you Danny. You always delivered. 21 Nail Lounge is a chic and spotless nail salon with a calming atmosphere and a wonderful, welcoming vibe.

    My new favorite nail salon! Staff is so accommodating- and Danny is awesome! Super talented at what he does. I have been getting acrylics with gel polish and designs. You can come to him with an idea or have him come up with something! I'm obsessed with my latest birthday nails. He really went above and beyond. Prices are competitive for the area and everything is nice and clean. So grateful I discovered this salon! I highly recommend

    Over 3 weeks of growth. I got bubble bath with white chrome loveee i got so many compliments.

    The location is convenient and it's nice that there is free parking. They have a great collection of colors. The shop is decorated nicely and it is very welcoming. I love to see the tub liners used for the pedi tubs and everything looks like it's kept clean and maintained. Pricing is comparative to other salons I've patronized. Overall, a great nail salon.

    I was maimed here. Worst experience I've ever had in my entire life at a nail salon. Went for a soak off and the women started plying my nails off with an acrylic tip I asked her to stop and just cut them but she kept going as I was crying and shaking in the chair. Eventually she ripped off half of my nail exposing flesh and it started bleeding. I started sobbing and didn't stop until I got home. Still radiating with pain as I'm typing

    21 Nail Lounge saved my nails! Great replacement salon for the Metropolitan Nail Bar in Arlington! Here at 21 Nail Lounge, I was educated during the service, my comfort was considered, and I was extremely satisfied with the results below! Along with that, the stylist engaged in conversation with me effortlessly, encouraged me to try a new style in a friendly manner, and shaped the nail perfectly to my small beds and fingers. Highly recommend!

    I've been loyal to another salon for the last 3 years but after my favorite nail tech left I started looking for a new salon. I found 21 nail lounge through the recommendation of a friend and I've never been happier with the quality of my nail shape and application. Danny did an excellent job with both and I will be returning for the foreseeable future.

    I've been going here for 3 years and it is my go-to nail salon. Danny is fantastic and has always been able to take my nail inspiration photos and make them a reality. He's always up for any challenge (and trust me I've done some complicated designs). I'm lazy when it comes to nail maintenance and go every 1-2 months, but my nails always last until my follow up appointment. I've done dip to acrylic to gel builder here. They take great care of their clients. I highly recommend checking them out for your next apt! Showcasing my most recent nails, attached, that were done for my birthday (excuse the lighting - it's not the best.) I couldn't be more obsessed! I've received a ton of compliments :)

    Got an SNS french tip and had it custom done based on a picture I had. The man who did my nails was very kind and diligently did my nails with patience I rarely see at nail salons! It was refreshing and I'm happy I went.

    I was looking for the perfect salon to celebrate my 40th Birthday with about 20 of my girlfriends and 21 Nail Lounge did not disappoint!! Organizing the party with Danny couldn't have been easier. He gave me a few ideas and tips and allowed me to bring snacks and drinks for my guests! The salon also offered refreshments and chocolate! Danny helped me stagger the appointments and was able to accommodate such a large party. He even had a cake for me when I arrived. WOW!!! His staff was super friendly and even helped cleaned up our mess after the party! The services were amazing. There were different pedicure packages to choose from, the plethora of nail polish collection was impeccable! The salon was super clean and did not have boring spa music playing: this place was hip! The prices were on the lower average end for the Arlington area so everything worked out in my favor !! I went for a basic spa gel pedicure and dip manicure and it lasted over a month! Everyone was happy with their services. We did not feel rushed and enjoyed the evening celebrating with one another's company. I would highly recommend the salon for their services and definitely would come back for personal and group celebrations! Thank you Danny and team for a seamless time for my special occasion.

    My husband walked in early and booked an appointment and prepaid for a gel mani and pedi on a slow Monday afternoon and I was supposed to be seen by Monika, but she was helping another client so another guy started working on my nails. I had acrylic and they were acting as if acrylic was foreign to them. The guy vigorously filed my nails down and cut them into a square shape because he said that they did not have time to keep my nails in the almond shape that they were in naturally. The entire time I felt so unwelcome because they were rushing telling me that they had other clients (even though I opted out of the pedicure) and they made it seem like I was a nuisance to be in their salon, and while they were nice enough, I just did not feel welcome. Finally, Monika was done with her client and started to work on my nails, which I had to then dip in acetone after being filed Rigorously by the prior guy. I proceeded to do my nails well enough I suppose I told them that I could not come in for the pedicure because I had already had one scheduled and my husband didn't know. Monika called me $52 and advised that she would have to speak to her manager to refund the remaining $48. A week goes by and there's still no refund on our account, but when we call again they acted like we were bothering them and inconveniencing them for asking for our money back for services that we never received. I got a French gel manicure that ended up costing $62 which is $10 more than I was quoted when I left. It would have been fine if they actually did a good job but It's been a week my nails are disgusting. By day 2 a majority of my nails were chipped and cracking bc they were filed too thin. The French tip cracked and I noticed pieces of hair underneath the gel bc of their lack of attention to dry. I think that they were overwhelmed and shouldn't have taken my appointment. I felt rushed and unwelcome and It was the least relaxing nail appointment I've ever had in the DMV and will not be returning.

    This is my third visit to 21 Nail Lounge. I have enjoyed every visit. Since they reopened after the pandemic hit, I wanted to support a local neighborhood business. I have had three different people perform a pedicure on me, they have all been professional. Monica did my latest and she was wonderful. I added the paraffin wax treatment and buff shine and they were amazing. My legs from the knees down we well massaged and scrubbed. Monica did a great foot massage as well. I look forward to me next visit. Highly recommend

Sadly, I have had a couple of changes in who my specialist is. But I have never had a bad specialist. Like any service, you have to find the location and person you like.

The front desk associate was amazing -- so kind and professional -- but my waxer, Uka, provided one of the worst services I've had. She explained the wax wasn't cooling because the building was so hot, but the wax itself was way too hot and very uncomfortable. She didn't apply pressure after removing strips, which made it especially painful, and went over the same areas of skin more than four times. I've been getting waxes for over 10 years and have never had this type of reaction from my skin -- I left red, irritated, and sensitive for days, and even then not all of the hair was removed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend booking with Uka at this location.

I chose not to complete the form and was told that without it, I could not check in. I understood and decided to leave. As I was walking out, I was told that if I canceled my appointment, I would be charged a $35 cancellation fee. I never authorized a credit card to be kept on file, so I was shocked to later discover that my husband's credit card had somehow been charged. My concerns are: 1. How did the office obtain my husband's credit card information and charge it without my authorization? 2. If completing this medical form is now a mandatory requirement, why wasn't I informed of that when I made the appointment over the phone? I spoke with the same employee who later attempted to check me in. Had I been told about this new policy beforehand, I would have canceled the appointment before making the trip and avoided both the inconvenience and the $35 fee. I've been a loyal client for around two years, and this experience was incredibly disappointing. The lack of communication, combined with charging a credit card that I never authorized to be on file, is unacceptable. This is not how long-time clients should be treated.
