I read some good reviews about this place so I decided to check them out but unfortunately my…read moreexperience was the total opposite. It's small & clean in a nice looking neighborhood. I went in for a basic mani & French pedi. Now for those that get French - we know it's a specialized service (meaning they upcharge for it). A specialized service needs a specialist. While the nail tech was polite and tried her best, you could tell that wasn't her speciality and with the language barrier it was hard communicating exactly what was needed. Plus I think techs today put more effort into those that get gel/acrylic etc over basic/natural which is disappointing. She asked me if I wanted my toes cut down (I said yes) but she ended up filing them so they were still long. The towels are pretty dingy and they dry your feet with the same towel they work on, cuticle clean up was great but the leg massage was way too much pressure. I asked for bubble bath nail color but they gave me a purple equivalent & I had to ask for a 2nd coat. The white lines aren't crispy, & while I appreciate her trying to emulate the look I had when I came in, I think it would've been better if she just did her own thing. The manicure was standard, she skipped a few nails and had to go back. I asked for square square all around (hands & feet) but ended up with round square. Again, she was sweet & polite but for $78 - it wasn't worth the experience, especially not the French because my toe nails are still long so you can barely see the white tips and the color gives more of a purple than pink

Meticulous, precise, clean, patient, hospitable. I have absolutely zero complaints about this place. I wanted gel x, a cat eye look and my nails were done beautifully. While my nail tech was doing my nails, I decided I wanted them a little shorter and was met with no resistance. She happily obliged to any and all request regarding my nails. She took her time, made sure I liked the design of the first nail before continuing on to complete the rest of my nails. It was the most enjoyable experience I've had at a nail salon in a long time.

Julie did my acrylic fill with gel polish and added a simple, cute flower design just in time for my birthday. She did a phenomenal job! I've been consistently getting my nails done for about 3 years, and she was one of my favorite techs. She gave me great ideas and was so patient with me, which really helped because I could not decide on a color! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I scheduled an appointment for 5:00 PM but wasn't seen until around 5:20 PM since they were running behind. They only have a certain number of nail techs who do acrylics, which I completely understand. I just wanted to mention it in case you're in a time crunch and are scheduling a specific service--it's possible your appointment could get pushed back. That said, I personally didn't mind waiting, and I'm really happy with how my nails turned out!

This is genuinely the worst nail salon I've ever been to. I only continued coming here because of…read morethe convenient location, but every visit has been disappointing. The color selection is poor, and the swatches rarely match the color that actually ends up on your nails. Every time I've gone, I've been unhappy with the shape or quality of my manicure. My nails frequently chip or break much sooner than they should (days after getting them done), but given the location I justified the shortcomings. Today, I made an appointment with a specific technician, only to be told (15 minutes after I arrived) that they had been overbooked. My options were to wait an hour or see someone else whenever they had time because they had accepted too many appointments. Poor quality, poor organization, and consistently disappointing results. I gave this place far more chances than it deserved, I would not recommend this salon.

Now I'm being serviced by a lady who doesn't know how to do anything. My nails are naturally long and I only do dip and design and every tech always wants me to do the gel because it's faster for them to service. Absolutely not I tried once and all my nails broke off, I can't do gel or acrylic. I tip her well because she takes her time and I have headphones in the whole service, but to lie to me, the only reason I can assume is due to how long the service takes. Service was great until now, they've lost a client!

I also needed a soak off on both my hands and feet. As soon as I sat down two people began working on the removal process. They were very efficient. During my pedicure there was a fire down the street quite close to the salon and they still made sure to finish while making it as fast as possible so we could all leave the area. I really appreciated that because I did not have time to finish on a different day. They made sure it was safe to continue but still sped up the process so we could head home. I just moved to the area and will definitely be back. I got a builder gel French tip on my natural nails and French tip gel on my toes.

However, they didn't have times available, so I opted to go to the Navy Yard instead. Both locations are clean and relaxing. I also like their no-phone policy. The Navy Yard experience, however, was average. I requested their standard manicure and the luxe pedicure. Two technicians worked on me at the same time and finished at the same time - within the hour, which was great. (One minor issue- they don't roll to your other side, so you're forced to bend your arm uncomfortably toward them, which kills the experience a little.) This was my first time getting the luxe pedicure, and while they used an extra jelly moisturizer for five minutes and a quick scrub, it felt similar to the main lane (what they call their standard mani). So I probably won't opt for that again. The massage was the same length as given at the MVT location. One of the techs noted the color was sheer, and I asked for an additional layer, which they've done no problem at MVT. But she was firm that she was only doing two. Ok friend, then why ask me if I want it sheer? The layers applied were laughably thin. I get that's necessary for a good mani/pedi, but the first application barely had any polish applied. And the mani was even thinner to the point that it looked splotchy in normal lighting. The tech working on my hands also didn't get the edges well. A tad disappointed given the price but lesson learned...I'm only going to MVT from now on.

Another victim here. Lol. Guys the reviews are not Karens, it's FACTS!…read more My own bad for not coming here to look at reviews first before doing a walk-in manicure. I thought the store was cute and looked "professional", It turned out it is just look...nothing professional. I came here cause I was around to have lunch and thought since I have some time before meeting my friends around I'll do a manicure besides waiting around by the pier. Walked in and no one welcomed me and the receptionist was somewhere hidden in the back, already a red flag but I thought I had time to spend so I'll wait. Well a good 5 mins here she comes and she polite, but once she sat me down she's back to her phone call with a friend or something, not at the front. Ok? That already doesn't look good. Then the manicure, it was nice a clean up and the guy who did it was careful and paitent with my nails, good service. But then I showed him the design which he says he doesn't do designs, so a girl helped me instead. She's nice as well, but her skill is 0. I feel bad to say, but I can't believe she doesn't have any sense in nail art. It's terrible, and I can definitely do it myself... and better! If it's just not good enough I'll take it (cause I'm a painter so it's hard to be on my OCD level), but she's... not a nail art artist at all!!! Omg?! How are they trained to do this job but is less than a normal person doing it for a friend? I hope my photos show you the quality as evidence. Please don't go there. I also costed me $70+ (tips included) just for a manicure with "design". I'm pretty upset, but at the same time I know this my own fault to not research beforehand. Annnnd I am buying a nail gel set now cause it's just hard to find a good nail artist in DC! Even with a fancy nail store, they tend to do a mediocre job. Not recommend and spend your money with 1 manicure here for 2 manicures somewhere else!
