    I have driven by this place so many times I have lost count. Today, I finished off some important documents to get my passport and passport card. After the trip to Millie's Restaurant and PNC Bank in DC, I decided to finally try out this nail salon. Right from the get go, find a parking spot behind the store was out. Parking along the side of the street was the only option. The parking meters take credit cards and quarters. The parking spot I found had coins in the machine and they were jammed in it. Luckily the machine had 34 minutes left over. Walking inside the place, I saw it was very small. The place for waxing looked like Harry Potter's stairway room. They say they dont do body masssge but there is a body masssge chair near the waxing room. The place started to smell like marijuana after about 18 minutes of being there. The foot massage and manicure were nice. But nothing to write home about. I would have had a 30 minute foot masssge, but the smell of marijuana coming through the floor or walls was making me sick. I was going to say something to the manager, but changed my mind. The staff seem friendly to a point. Since I wasn't a regular there, they treated me as newcomer...to which was. Overall I would have given the place four stars, but the continues stink weed seeping through the walls or floors was worse than smelling ass.

    I asked them to match my polish colors (gel on hands, regular on feet) and this as is close as they could get.

    I stopped by this little nail salon for a pedi and gel mani. It's located in Foxhall and is pretty close to the Georgetown Campus. I went in the middle of the day and was the only customer, so I was attended to right away. The service itself was done well. The pedi was a little lacking, but the gel nail polish was solid. The color selection is really lacking, and I just wanted baby pink (regular) polish on my toes with a matching (gel) polish on my hands--but it couldn't be done. I felt really pressured to upgrade and get add-ons, and they didn't honor the student discount despite having a student ID. They also don't accept American Express and their sign isn't super noticeable when you walk in.

    Got a french gel manicure. Their technique is a bit different from the one I've had before. They freehand it instead of taking away polish with a curved brush. This results in a slightly thicker layer of white polish that you can feel when you go over your nails. Unfortunately, my manicurist accidentally cut too deep into one of my cuticles and I started bleeding. She wrapped up my finger and waited before trying again, but it started bleeding again. This happened five times. I was not too happy by then. She asked me to come back the following day to finish the nail and did not charge me for the manicure. The next day, I came back but she wasn't there. Another manicurist finished my incomplete nail, so it was fine. Overall, if I were in the area, I'd go back, but wouldn't seek them out specifically.

    This is my gel french manicure 2 weeks in.  I have never had a manicure last this long.  Excellent work!

    I have gotten 3 gel french manicures here, and they have all lasted at least 2 weeks. The manicures are excellent, and the staff is friendly. The facility doesn't look particularly polished, but the work here is top rate.

    I walked in on a Monday evening. It was nice, quiet, and I was helped immediately. I got a gel manicure and brow wax for $33! Great price and well done. After I paid, the technician sat me down and gave me a shoulder/back massage. It was a lovely addition!

She has great attention to detail, and the space is always clean, relaxing, and comfortable. Before going to Lalla, I dealt with a lot of ingrowns and discoloration, but her technique is amazing. She is quick, thorough, and always leaves my skin in great shape. I also love purchasing the packages because they offer a slight discount on repeat services. Thank you, Lalla and team, for always being so amazing!

Her sugaring technique is chef's kiss -- super gentle, thorough, and she really takes her time to make sure everything is perfect. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail. After the sugaring is done, she will ask if it's okay to switch over to hard wax or tweezing to make sure everything is perfect. And she makes good product recommendations. Nothing ever feels rushed, and she makes the whole experience so comfortable and easy. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. I also really enjoy that we can talk about life and our cats while the service is happening. This makes things way more comfortable. If you're looking for someone who provides consistently fantastic service and really gives great attention to detail, Lynn is it. Highly recommend!

They are also very good at letting you know if you're running low on waxes (in your wax pass). I've been going to this location for close to a year. Sadly, I have had a couple of changes in who my specialist is. But I have never had a bad specialist. Like any service, you have to find the location and person you like. If you're still looking for yours, definitely give this place a try.

The front desk associate was amazing -- so kind and professional -- but my waxer, Uka, provided one of the worst services I've had. She explained the wax wasn't cooling because the building was so hot, but the wax itself was way too hot and very uncomfortable. She didn't apply pressure after removing strips, which made it especially painful, and went over the same areas of skin more than four times. I've been getting waxes for over 10 years and have never had this type of reaction from my skin -- I left red, irritated, and sensitive for days, and even then not all of the hair was removed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend booking with Uka at this location.
