While my dog was getting groomed near by, I searched for a nail place to get my eyebrows and toes done. Ambiance popped up and I decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did! The woman who did my eyebrows did a FABULOUS job! I may only come here from now on. She was so detail oriented. My pedicure was amazing too. I got the #2 which was super relaxing and again, the nail technician took her time making sure they looked perfect. I will definitely be back! read more

With a name like Ambiance and pretty decent reviews I expected to walk into a great atmosphere. I'm used to having a good experience when I get my nails done and being surrounded by... well, nice ambiance. So I tried this place and it was, as others have put it, very grimy and ragged. It looked like a hole in the wall with tattered chairs, peeling and discolored paint and random patches on the wall. This should have been a clue to leave but I try not to judge a book by its cover. Besides i came because reviews were very good. Unfortunately i probably should have judged it more harshly. While the staff was pleasant overall. I was also dumbfounded by their limitations. Specifically I asked for a French manicure with a chrome line and they were not able to do a chrome line. So I went with her suggestion of just a glittery line as shown below. It wasn't great looking. The lines were crooked and a bit off from the picture but not horrible. The nails also took about 2.5 hours to do. But the kicker for me was the price. This was a French full set and it costs $98. With tip I paid $110. I've never in life paid that much for such a simple design. Usually I get services that are more elaborate and the cost is usually around $85-90. But given that this is often accompanied by fruit and wine (or water) and a beautiful atmosphere it seems more than worth it. While the staff was pleasant, the atmosphere horrible and the results were mediocre, so this is definitely not a place I would visit again. read more

Best place ever and great service they work really hard and their member give a 100 percent effort

Just left this place after trying for the first time and I am a new customer. Lily the owner was absolutely sweet and she greeted me with a huge smile and warm welcome. The staff is top tier and the work is quality. My full set is perfect. read more

Grimy inside the store. Used old drill bits that were not clean. The gel lights were gross. No conversation, which was fine; but, she looked totally tired. It just felt rushed. She didn't even let me see my nail color until she was done paining one hand. I was only offered water after I started dry coughing into my arm. Got my natural nails powder dipped. Not thrilled with results. Manicurist did not push back cuticles or take the polish to the edge. She also only dipped the nails twice; other places do it 3 times. On top of this, I paid $60 ($50 + $10 tip). I will definitely NOT be returning. read more

Ambiance Nails Spa - This photo was taken 3 DAYS after service. Normally, my manicures last 2.5 to 3 weeks. This just looks bad, already. - Nail Salons Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

Let me start off by stating that I do not like wasting my time. I scheduled an appointment the day prior for 4 o'clock. I arrived at 3:50 and didn't get started until 35 minutes later. It was obvious that there was no technician available when I arrived, not sure why an appointment would be scheduled for a time knowing the customer would need to wait. So, I sit in the pedicure massage chair at 4:15 hoping for the best. I sit and wait for another person to arrive before any service begins. I know this review starts off negative BUT it took a significant turn. This may have been one of the best mani and pedi that I've had in a long time. Cindy did an amazing job. The gel polish was of quality and her attention to detail on the nail art design was top notch. She took the time to repair a few nails that I chipped along the way to prevent me for having to cut them entirely which was an added plus. Once done, my nails looked healthy, shiny and artificial to an extent. It appears that there are only three technicians which slows things down for appointments. The gel polish selections are not that extensive as other places and the interior is a bit dated with older chairs, nail stations, and massage chairs. Update: I've been here several times since the review above (delayed posting - was at 3 stars) to get manis and pedis by Cindy and the ladies are always friendly but it's time to find another place. The more I visited the more the service declined. The last visit was mediocre and it seems like Cindy is likely getting tired of me getting a basic pedi and gel mani. Also, during my manicure ants and other insects I couldn't identify kept crawling on me under the UV light. I settled because this place got the job done and wasn't such a far drive but unfortunately this last experience did it for me. read more

I need to be going BACK! I haven't been in some months but Tracy always did amazing work on my nails. Whatever I showed she did them well. I love the environment and the conversation. She even done my daughter Juju nails. I'll be back soon!!! read more

I am a longtime customer of Ambiance Nail & Spa however lately I'm questioning whether I want to go back. As someone who has breathing problems to come to the shop and the overpowering incense and cigarette smoke at the altar is too much. Those smells are so strong that it stays with you throughout the day. Not to mention dealing with that combination of smoke and incense when the Air conditioning was out while having to get serviced in the heat was unbearable. The loud uncensored music that plays is not a relaxing occasion. When I'm getting services I want to be at peace not feel like I'm at a bootleg hookah/club. I'm going to try it again but if it doesn't change I'll have to put my health first and take my money elsewhere. read more

I took my daughter to get manicures and pedicures. When we were first arrived asked to come back 40 later as they were busy. No problem. We came back. The pedicures were fine. I wasn't asked what level pedicure I wanted and ended up with just the basic. Not a big deal. The manicures are what I was extremely unhappy about. They were so sloppy. I had to have several nails on my daughter's hand fixed. I had polish on my cuticles, the edges are so uneven. Such a waste of money! Not happy at all. And the entire time Law & Order SUV was on the TV so my daughter had to hear a show about rape and murder while we were trying to have a nice day out. read more

I've been going to see Traci since I moved here almost 2 years ago. She always does a fantastic job. She's a sweet person who's fun to chit chat with while getting work done. Love her and her mama to pieces, so please be kind. They'll take great care of you. Here are several (but not all) sets she's done for me through the years. Highly recommend. read more

I was from out of town and had to get "vacation" nails off and "work" nails on before my flight the next day. They were accommodating when I had to make a last minute appointment for the same day.

Absolutely love this salon! The technicians and owner are so nice! Would absolutely recommend!

Love my dip powder nails! I went to Ambiance for the first time yesterday and had a great experience. Everyone was so friendly and they truly care about your nails and the health of your nails with tips on proper care. Plus side is that it's less than a 10 minute drive from my home and conveniently located in dumfries! read more

Tammy did an amazing job with my nails. I love them so much. I do recommend her highly. She took her time. I valued that, the end result was spectacular and I couldn't be more happy. There is a lot of color options to pick from which is great but also super hard if you're like me. The location is nice and easy to get to. The shop is very welcoming and clean. I highly recommend this place. You def get what you pay for. read more

Ambiance Nails Spa - Thank you Tammy - Nail Salons Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

My daughter and I were in need of a new nail salon since our usual has consistently been a disappointment and below average in quality. I am SO thankful I decided to give Ambiance a try. Jenny, was so kind and sweet. She is professional, courteous (and also super fast)! She was operating with only herself and her daughter this Sunday- but she provided amazing and prompt service for a full set of gel ( ombré pink and white for my daughter and gel polish for myself). Many regulars were coming in and that also proves to me that she is consistently holding the standard well above the surrounding salons. Thank you, again and we will be back for a fill. read more

I got my nails done and I loved it. It looked really good! Why three stars? Because the lady that was doing my nails stopped her work and decided to take care of another client, so someone else finished her job. NOT COOL! I took another star out because I am not sure if she cleaned the cuticle nippers. This is VERY serious. I don't want to make assumptions and say that she didn't clean it, but I didn't see it. She used it and put it back inside the drawer. I will go back because I really liked the final result, but I will make sure that I see the cutile nippers being sterilized. read more

I would not recommend this nail salon. I went here for the first time last week and automatically was turned off by the condition of the salon. (Things just seemed run down and unsanitary) I proceeded to get my gel fill in and less than a week later the paint is already chipping. Needless to say, I have no interest on returning. & I suggest you don't waste your time going here. read more

Lovely nail salon ! Clean and very detailed no matter if I get the mom or daughter they always make sure I walk out satisfied ... I have OCD so attention to detail is very important to me. Side note: I come all the way from Oxon Hill Maryland to them so you know its real. read more

Went at 11:19 on a Tuesday only one customer being serviced for her finger nails. Asked for a pedicure with basic polish and was told to pick my color. I just returned from a six month deployment and my feet needed some love! I asked to soak first and the nail tech asked how long, I said ten minutes and she said "no, that's too long we have customers you can only soak for five!" I politely left the establishment. read more

I believe they are recently under new management. I used to have Julie do my gel manicure. It would last for at least 2 weeks! I guess I made the mistake of having the oldest tech do my nails last time and they are chipping already in less than a week! I kept insisting that she file the tip of my nails down because they peel easily. And she refused. I will not be returning. read more

There are only 2 employees that work here at one time. They will rush you. They will mess up. They will send you home looking a 4 year old did your mani and pedi. The first time I tried it, I had Kathy, and she did fine. I went to this place out of sheer proximity to my home. The second time I went, I took my mom and just wanted to cry. Beware. read more

Tom did my fill and pedicure and he did any amazing job with my request. I am very particular with how my nails are done. He shaped them perfectly. The salon is clean and massage chairs are awesome! I didn't get the woman who did my designs' name. But I wanted something "Aztec" yet simple, I wasn't trying to make it a big deal. I showered her something I saw online and I told her, "I'm expecting the same exact thing, but something like it...". She had a plethora of paints and brushes, as an artist, that made me happy. Anyhow, I couldn't have been happier with the designs, toes and nails. Looking forward to get my nails done in a couple of weeks. read more

Have driven by here so many times. After reading some online reviews, I decided to check it out. It is easy to miss if you don't pay attention. I got a gel manicure, would have loved to have a pedicure but the weather is miserable and I didn't want to leave wearing flip flops. The salon is clean. I was greeted immediately and was able to have my manicure right away. My nail technician was super friendly and awesome. She cleaned up my cuticles and gave me a great gel polish. Pretty large selection of gel colors. My nails look great. The price is comparable to others in the area. Yes, you can find cheaper places and there are others that charge more but for now I'm satisfied with the price and the way my nails look. If in a week I am still pleased with how they look, I'll go back - for sure. read more

I just went to Ambiance Salon for the first time, having just moved to VA from out of state. I used the reviews on Yelp to choose where I wanted to try first. I went to have an old acrylic set removed and a new full pick and white set done. Jenny took care of me, she was very patient and thorough removing the old set. No prying them off and causing damage to the nail beds, not to mention a lot of pain which I've had people do in the past. As for my new full set, it is without a doubt, the best set I've ever had done!! I am a nail biter and have had acrylics for 7+ years to keep me from biting. They are not too thick, or too thin, beautifully rounded edges and the most natural looking acrylics I have EVER had. I could not be more pleased with the salon and my experience today. I will definitely go back to Ambiance, I'm so thankful to have found it on my first try!! read more

I have had some good nail work done here and not so good. I went in for just a gel polish change and my nails look worse than when I walked in. It usually doesn't take long to get this done but this took over an hour and a half for just a polish change. The nail tech was super nice but I had a feeling she didn't know what she was doing. She about 4 layers on my nails which is the most I've ever had 2 is the most. I went in with more of a pointy than rounded nails and wanted it to remain that way but ended up round instead. Now the shape of my nail is totally different. All my nails are different shapes and thickness. They look sloppy. No very happy and will now have to go somewhere else to get it redone because I can't stand the way it looks. $40 down the drain. read more
