First time and definitely not my last!…read more The scheduling process was pretty easy, I simply made a call and was able to schedule Kim for my Gel-x services Arrival: the location is perfectly nested in the Union Market area and easy to navigate. Service: after a smooth check in process on the kiosk, service was pretty good! Guests are offered a beverage of choice upon arrival to which I enjoyed a crisp glass of white wine. Once my old nails were soaked off by another staff member, my nail tech Kim took care of me from there. I got the gel-x extensions and while I absolutely loved the color of choice, I can see that 2 of my nails were filed crooked, something I wished that I caught before leaving. Aside from that, I would return but looks like I need to be hands on to ensure that my nails are to my loving-crooked nails are not! Price: lower than most in the DC area but still at $75 which I normally pay way more for in other places I won't count them out for another follow up if I'm in the area

It was $145 without tip. I recommend going somewhere else if you want complex nail art and a keen…read moreeye to detail. I had to go back the next day but I realized there was still one nail where the top coat didn't cover all of the nail. That meant the sticker was jutting out a bit and irritating my skin. The nail artist is pretty decent with simple art and with most sticker application. I had wanted it all to be nail art and for them to tell me they couldn't do 3D nails. There is at least one sticker on each nail. Also I had to coax her to not give up but she was insistent on simply stickering every nail to make it go faster. The pedi was alright and pretty painless. The nail artist just missed a spot of paint and accidentally got a dot of red paint on the right big toe. I think about 2.5 hours was spent in total during the first visit and less than 10 minutes fixing the issues with the nails in the next visit.

My toes I feel like are simple- scrub, cut the dead, then paint. I don't know what it was but like yall I do not like the paint job. It looks like there was maybe too much polish on the brush so it's kinda bulky towards the root of the toe. Like this thick polish. I looked down when she was done and immediately was like wait why my feet look like that? The paint job is just idk, sloppy. Idk I just didn't like it. I mentioned it and she was super super nice and like buffed them and painted on top but fr probably shoulda been taken OFF and redone. I told her I know the polish is gonna start chipping because it's too thick... and even when she tried to buff and redo I knew the job should have been started over. I just didn't have the time or patience and it's intro to the summer so they see done enough for my flip flops and maybe it's just that stylist and not the salon but it was my first time and never going back. But! They do serve some wine and even though I think my tech was questioning my age for way too long bc I guess ASKED for the wine and maybe seemed to young and pressed but I mean no one offered so yeah... Good massage chairs, they have "happy hour" prices where they knock some dollars off. Like my service was solid but I truly just don't like the pedicure I received and I don't feel like my standards are high lol. Three days into my pedicure per my estimate the toenails started peeling and looking a hot messssss.

IMPORTANT: the address is confusing, and the business has almost no street presence, aside from a flashing sign in the 2nd floor corner window above you . The listed address is not the entrance.. 401 H St. NE is the legal address but it is not even on the building. The doorway is around the corner on 4th, where they post a small sidewalk sign to direct you upstairs. Also, the phone number in Yelp goes to a different number and there is no voicemail message confirming that you got the right place. I came on Wednesday morning during a heat wave and was happy to find a tidy, clean and well air-conditioned space with a friendly staff. Fun hygiene, tidbit: the manager tells me that when health inspectors come by every couple of months, they don't even check to see if the facility has single use plastic tub liners. Of course, District absolutely uses a clean liner for every pedicure customer. It's a key element in avoiding infections. And of course, they autoclave their tools on site for sterility.. as a registered nurse. This sort of thing is top of my list. Sorry I don't live in this town or this would be my regular spot.

The work is not clean or professional at all, and the shape of my toenails looks horrible. I naturally have long toenails and get them done regularly, and I've always been happy with the results at other salons. On top of that, the lady was grabbing and moving my legs very aggressively, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. For $72, I expected much better quality and service.
