    I was at your salon, my name is Sharon Esther I use my middle name often. My thumb nail is breaking from the middle for the first time in years. Visiting in dc so I couldn't go to my usual salon and this hasn't happened to me in years. Not only was it a slow ugly job but also ruined the health of my nails. They're all bending and breaking now. Don't go here.

    The nails I got started about 10 days after I got them and were very hard to remove - not sure what was used on them as my next tech was very confused. Not sure I'd come back here as they did not last

    You gotta go, I can't share it enough! My favorite nail spot in the DC area, I won't go anywhere else! The best, kindest people and some of the best, cleanest, and consistently amazing nail work from someone who is very picky about their nails (I get dip). Good prices too. Kelly and the team are the best!

    I strolled into this fantastic salon whilst visiting DC for a few days. I needed a quick manicure. I've done the math and in my lifetime, I've probably had 1,000 and this was perhaps the best. She took her time, took great attention to detail, and the price was very reasonable. It does not look like a five star four seasons salon but the quality of their work is just as good and I think much better than manicures costing three times the price. I look forward to returning the next time I am in town.

    I followed my long-time nail technician, Emma, here and it has been a great experience so far! When you walk into the building, you have to climb a flight of stairs to reach the salon, and it isn't clearly marked so be careful. It's not the fanciest salon I've been to, but it's well-kept and clean/sanitary. The salon can be a bit crowded and tight at times due to the size of the space, but the service is always top notch. Once seated with your technician, they have a nice selection of beverages for you to choose from while receiving your services. There is also a good selection of color options - if there's something you want, they likely have it. I appreciate that they use disposable liners in their pedicure tubs and sealed/sterilized utensils for each client. Pricing is on par for the area, but please note that there is a credit/debit card fee. You can pay with Cash/Venmo/etc for no additional charge and they make it convenient by providing QR codes to electronically pay. My tech Emma cares about what her clients want and/or need and strives to be sure that you are not only happy with how your nails look, but also that your nails are healthy! I've been getting my nails done for over 25 years and Emma is the absolute BEST technician I've ever had. I can EASILY go 3 weeks in-between visits with no lifting or peeling of my nails. I've never had a technician that cared like she does to make sure it is right and will last. Emma has never attempted to "upsell" me and, in fact, will tell me if I DON'T need something when I ask. I honestly can't say enough good things about her, she is simply AMAZING! Be warned, parking is pretty much non-existent in the immediate area. There is parking there, but it's been fully occupied every time I've gone. With that being said, if you're willing to walk a few blocks, there is street parking to be found. The salon is also just a couple of blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro station if that's your preferred mode of transportation. Overall, I've enjoyed my visits to Famous Nails Spa and wanted to share because quality nail salons/techs are REALLY hard to come by so Give Famous Nails Spot a try!

    Great manicure! Angel is one of the best manicurist in DC, she's so kind and removes all the cuticle. The space is super comfortable too.

    Kelly knows how to remove dip without damaging the nail, she's fast, friendly, and only person I trust with my nails now.

    This was my first time going to DuPont Nails. I'm rarely this far SW in DC, but I was going to Spa…read moreLogic for a spa day and it included a manicure and pedicure here. I thoroughly enjoyed my pedicure - Gianni used exceptional ability to clean and shape my nails and my polish was gorgeous. I did regular polish instead of gel because that's what came with the spa day that I'd purchased. Usually I hate non-gel nails, but the pedicure was first and they dried fairly hard before the manicure was finished. The manicure was also quite creditable. The nails were shaped and cleaned expertly, but I should have gone for a buff. Full disclaimer: I haven't done regular nail polish in YEARS, I have been an SNS person, but never having been here before, I preferred to withhold judgment (and $$) until I knew the quality of work that was done. This was a mistake. I don't know if I think it was an accident, but this was some of the worst polishing I've ever had in my life. The fan that she had me using made my polish wavy on the tips and when she moved me to the back to the drying station, it dried sideways and the polish basically shifted on the nail bed. She did two of the nails again, but ALL of them look terrible and it's been one day. Overall, not impressed with the regular manicure. Having been a customer of nail salons for a very long time, I would not be surprised that this was a deliberate ploy to get me to upgrade my services, but she never asked! The spa is lovely, the pedicure chairs and comfortable, deep, and private and the massage function works beautifully. The polish colors and offerings are expansive, and they do offer wine with services. If I go back, I will try the SNS with another nail tech. My pedicure is fabulous, but I'm taking off my polish tonight. In truth, my nails will still look good - the manicure itself was fine- but it wasted a ton of time and I didn't enjoy that aspect.

    Casabella is one of the best nail salons i have been to in the DMV. This was my second time there…read morefor gel and acrylic and both times I have been very pleased by this business. Located in the heart of Georgetown, Casabella is a hidden gem on Wisconsin Ave. The chic design of the nail bar inside is super trendy and the products they use are of good quality. When I got there, I did not have an appointment and although they were busy they were very accommodating and were able to squeeze me in. The nail tech that I had payed great attention to detail and was really great at making sure I was comfortable. Two things that particularly annoy me with acrylic nails are when they are too thick or when there's too much acrylic gunk behind the nail (ladies you know what i'm talking about). This was the first time i had walked out of a salon with perfect looking nails! I also have to commend the techs on their customer service skills and their immense level of patience. Believe me when I tell you, some of the customers in there were the most entitled, high-maintenance, and quite frankly, ANNOYING individuals i've experienced lol. I was only surrounded by them for 10 minutes and I was already annoyed, yet the techs exhibited excellent customer service skills. Overall, I highly recommend Casabella and for sure will be coming back here again!
