Super sad I'm moving out of the area and won't be near this amazing salon anymore, but I encourage everyone else to come by and have your nails done here - they're friendly, clean, efficient, and very talented! Not to mention the super cute doggy. 10/10, would recommend!

I booked an 11:00 AM appointment for a Sports Spa pedicure. When I arrived, there were only two…read moreemployees working, and the greeting I received was essentially, "What are you doing here? Can we help you?" despite having an appointment. I waited past my appointment time and was never told that another technician was expected to arrive or given any explanation for the delay. When I got up to leave, I was asked to come back and was seated at a pedicure chair to soak while both employees continued working on manicures. Around 11:35, another employee arrived. She came over and asked which pedicure I wanted, so I assumed she would be taking care of me. Instead, she sat about two chairs away and proceeded to give herself a pedicure and manicure while I continued waiting. At no point had anyone explained who would be doing my service or why my 11:00 appointment was so delayed. Once my pedicure did get underway, I will give credit where it's due: the Sports Spa pedicure itself was lengthy and relaxing, and I did not feel like the actual treatment was rushed. Unfortunately, after leaving I noticed a red mark on my upper chest/shoulder where the heated shoulder wrap had been resting during the service. I did not have this mark before arriving. The area afterward was red, warm to the touch, and felt similar to a scratch. I'm including a photo of how it looked afterward. I can't say with certainty what caused the irritation, but the location and timing made me concerned about the heated wrap. The actual pedicure had enjoyable aspects, but the lack of communication surrounding my appointment, the long wait, the unusual experience of watching an employee give herself services while I was waiting, and the skin irritation afterward made the overall experience disappointing.

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.

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 walked in for a regular pedicure and was told there would be about a 10-minute wait. I completely…read moreunderstood that they were busy and short-staffed, so I was willing to wait. However, once I was seated, the entire pedicure was rushed and finished in under 30 minutes, even though the salon's website states that a regular pedicure takes about 30 minutes. I understand being busy, but I don't think that should mean rushing through a service. My nails were not filed evenly, and the cuticles were barely trimmed. After the pedicure was finished, there were still quite a few cuticles left, and honestly, my feet didn't look or feel like they had just received a pedicure. I will say that the technician was very nice and did a good job polishing my nails, the color was applied nicely. I didn't get her name, but she was sitting at the first station as you walk into the salon. I'm giving 2 stars because I felt the quality of the service was sacrificed because they were busy. I hope they can take the time to provide the same level of care to every customer, even during busy hours.

It was such a great takeaway from the experience. The inside has the standard massage chairs you'd expect, the vibe is very "chill and do your own thing," and I'm sure you could ask for tea or whatever else you need. I got a pedicure at the beginning of March (and I know I'm due for another one soon!), but get this: I just got regular polish--no gel or anything--and the color is still completely on my toenails! If you ask me, that is quality. Definitely worth it. If you're in a pinch or just in the area, go ahead and hit this spot. They will not disappoint!
