I visited on a Sunday and the store was pretty much full. Appointments might be advised during busier times of the day, but I'm sure walk ins are welcomed. Just make sure you check in on the sign in sheet at the desk when you walk in. I had the pleasure of getting an appointment with Mrs. Michelle, who, to my surprise, told me she's been the owner for 15 years. And it truly shows. She is so sweet, very professional, and even better, I showed her the design I wanted and she recreated it without needing to reference the photo again. Truly a mastermind at work. Let me add that my nails are approaching three weeks and they look exactly how they did the day I walked out of the store. The nail polish is thick in a good way and very durable, which helps prevent damage and chips. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment. You might even have the honor of meeting Kaitlin, the receptionist, who is the nicest human alive.

TLDR: a gel fill was originally $65 until asking why it was so much to which is was brought down to…read more$60. And the lady doing my wife's nails took 3 hours and still messed them up, making them uneven in length and thickness. The lady in charge offered to have someone redo them but at the point that the one lady couldn't get it right, my wife decided it wasn't worth sitting there again. My wife wanted to just get a simple gel fill which is pretty standard and runs $40-$50 pretty much anywhere else. But here they said $65. And there was no menu shown which seems pretty shady. The lady in charge lowered it to $60 but even then that's still a lot for a simple gel fill and a solid color. The lady doing my wife's nails took 3 hours to do a simple gel fill and solid color. 3 hours. She's gotten full blown designs done in less time. And not only did it take that long, but her nails were uneven. Some were not cut straight, some were thicker than others, some were the wrong shape. The lady also told my wife she couldn't make two of the nails any thinner or they'd be too thin and could break, but some of the nails she did on the other hand were thinner than the two nails she said that about. She either was newer or had no idea what she was talking about. We definitely will NOT be back. It's expensive, the quality of the work was awful, and it took 3 hours for awful work. Whoever is in charge here should be ashamed of themselves.

I was disappointed by my experience!…read more 1. They overcharged us. They said it was $65 for a REFILL. That is CRAZYYY! That's typically the price of a new set not a refill. 2. It took the nail tech 3 hours to do a single color regular refill with no design. I had to tell her multiple times to shave the nails down cause they were too thick (she still didn't fix it), to fix the shape cause they were uneven, and clean up the polish cause it was all over my finger (wild). I would NOT recommend coming here. If it were a quality nail experience I'd eat the price. However, bad nail experience, not quality price, and trying to scam me is insane. I won't be coming back. The vibe of the place was clean and spacious so I'll give them that.

I will definitely be returning to this salon, and to Kelly specifically.

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience. I originally got a set done at this salon and…read morethe nails started chipping the very next day. Because of that, the salon made it up to me by doing another set. I absolutely LOVE the design and was genuinely so happy with how they came out this time. Unfortunately, I'm now only about 12 days in and the set is already starting to look worn and damaged. I understand that nails won't stay perfect forever, but considering my previous set literally chipped the next day and this was supposed to make up for that experience, I expected this set to last much better. What makes me even more frustrated is that I really love this set, so it's disappointing watching it deteriorate when I feel like there's barely anything left to preserve. I take care of my nails and expected a gel manicure to last longer than this. I'm not trying to be unreasonable--I just want the quality and longevity of the service to match what I paid for and what I was promised.

I originally had a 4-star review for this business as the prices are good for the area and the…read morequality of the manicure. After awhile the quality and service of this salon has significantly gone downhill. The owner, Christy, is the main problem. She has inconsistent pricing, shady business practices, poor technique, and an awful attitude. I have never met anyone in my life to be so aggressive for literally no reason. A scenario that caused me to stop going to Herndon nail spa: 1. I consistently got Dip powder for years until my main technician rage quite (per Christy). The other technicians were unable to get the same lasting quality that my OG technician could do so I decided to start doing acrylic nails. Christy started doing my nails going forward due to the other techs not being trained. The website listed the cost as $45 which I always budgeted for. Christy insists that customers pay via Venmo and "never" put anything related to nails on the payment notes (she clearly is trying to evade taxes). Ok, fine, I pay via Venmo because I don't want to get yelled at on a Saturday morning. I purposely only have the $45 + 25% tip on my Venmo as my account has gotten hacked before, so I only have the amount needed per appt in my Venmo account. For whatever reason, the last 3-4 times I went to see Christy the price of the nails increased by $5-$10 then $12 then doubled. According to Christy it was because of the "shape" note, the shape was an inconsistent squoval shape. Nor did I ask for a special shape so I am unsure why she felt the need to do a "special" shape in the first place. Not that it looked nice either way. During the visit where I paid a mysterious, extra $10, Christy felt the need to openly mock customers for "only tipping $2" and for being "stingy". I was genuinely flabbergasted as I believe service workers deserve quadruple what they are paid. I have worked as a service worker for the better half of a decade so I know what it can be like. Fast forward to the end of the appointment, Christy was notably louder indicating the cost of the service. I turned around to her and said "oh the cost went up? Its $55 now?" and she responded with "no, the shape". Again, the shape was squoval and I specifically asked for a basic non-labor-intensive shape lol. Ok, I venomed and left, realizing after the fact, that I was the one she was mocking about the $2 tip! I was genuinely horrified lol! She must have felt that I stiffed her the previous appt when, in reality, I intended to tip 25% but ended tipping significantly less since apparently the cost was $10+ more than listed on my appointment booking and I genuinely do not recall her telling me the price increase. She increased the cost of the service for literally no reason other than greed and again without my knowledge. But what is most astonishing is that she felt comfortable enough to openly mock her customer(s), who had been coming to her for YEARS, to her face, in front of a "full house" on a Saturday morning. Again, she insists on customers paying via Venmo and gets enraged when people try to tip on card because she doesn't want to pay taxes on it. So again, I am already going out of my way to accommodate her. If she would just allow customers to pay via card and provided a receipt, there would be significantly less confusion. Ultimately, if you want cheap but decent-looking nails this is your place. You will most likely have at least 2 cuticles ripped but your nails will look nice and last at least 2 weeks which can honestly be hard to find. If you care more about ethical business practices and transparent pricing, I do not recommend this place one bit. I am a strong-willed person and even I felt uncomfortable in Christy's presence. Color, shape, size, or anything in between, you will not be treated with respect at this establishment.
