I was very disappointed in their service. They gave me someone who didn't seem to know what she was doing. She looked at my reference picture once but when the nails didn't look like the photo, she didn't even want to look at the photo again. I thought that was weird. But I let her work until I couldn't take it anymore. I had to continue correcting her, so I straight up told her to use the refer photo. I wasn't even asking for anything unusual. I asked for Gel X, Stiletto nails in a natural color with a white line in the middle. Do you know the nails started coming off two days later!?!?! I was literally at the airport for my birthday trip livid. A nail came off each day after that...until all the nails had fallen off within 1 week! I've been getting my nails done for decades but this was by far the worst experience. Total, I paid $135 (includes tip) for a gel pedicure and Gel X stiletto nails. A week later, all I have to show for it is a pedicure... read more

Inspire Nail Bar - Ombré solar pink and white done right!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I visited without an appointment and was surprised by how quickly I was serviced the amount of nail options available.

This shop is extraordinarily fabulous. The vibe is great, they offer you something to drink upon entering the establishment. Plenty of parking and to top it off a fabulous set of nails! I highly recommend this place! read more

I go here every 2-3 weeks and Sam does an amazing job every time. she is easy to book with and is good with communication. the mimosa pedicures are my favorite and leave me smelling like mangos read more

My nail tech was very nice. However, I asked for an ombré pink to white solar - which was listed as a service on the website, and we agreed on a photo for inspiration. Photo and actual manicure attached. I asked him to redo it and it still was not turning out, so I asked for just a regular French done. But the dip was so thick and not even. I ended up going to another salon after and repaying for a new dip. Two of my nail beds bled from over 4hrs of service. I will not return. read more

This review is specifically regarding the technician Annie. She left acrylic all over my nails unfortunately I did not see until I left. I ended up having to get a full set all over again in a week because my nails had all peeled off due to excessive acrylic surrounding the nails. read more

Inspire Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

It makes me sad to give this review as I've been coming here for a while and always love the way my nails come out. When Nam is having a good day, things are great. When he's having a bad day, his attitude can be rude. Sometimes I leave wondering if I've done something wrong. But I tip well and I'm a nice person. I think the service is just inconsistent depending on other factors going on, and I don't think that's fair to me as a customer. read more

Go in there and ask for Linda. The best ever. I ain't never going anywhere else. I go all the way from McLean to Alexandria to get my pedicure. I love it! read more

Always received the best service be it a pedicure or manicure. As soon as you walk in you are greeted, and the salon is clean and well kept. The perfect place to relax get your nails done, and sip on the free glass of champagne read more

First time I came here a young part time male employee gave me a decent gel Manicure . Second time a woman with blonde hair gave me a pedicure . She asked me if I wanted my toenails cut and I said "oh yes, short please". Well, she did not listen and she barely did anything with length. I was working (preoccupied) and trying to relax and trusted she would do the job at task and do it well. . Did not happen. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I got home. In addition one of my nails requires a fix and she didn't do anything about it when I pointed it out and instead brushed me off, saying (in a rude manner) "I am NOT finished". Maybe there was a language barrier but I was just going to ask he for advice on a crack in a toe nail that has since grown so pedicure is AWFUL. . I went ahead and gave her a 20% tip not realizing how poorly done it was . Now I know why she looked pretty surprised when I handed her the 20% tip! She didn't deserve it. Never again unless I am satisfied . read more

$75 not including tip for the most basic gel French pedicure. No massage, no oil, no scrub. A basic 35 minute pedicure is $38. If you want gel it's an additional $20 okay...I understand but +$8 for calluses and +$8 for French?! Almost $100 total with tip for the most basic gel French pedicure is crazy IMO. These nail shops are doing less and less and expecting you to pay extra fees for very basic things. The shop is very pretty and clean but unfortunately I won't be returning :/ read more

i love the vibe in here - i'm not used to checking in to get my nails done or being asked if i want something to drink. i've been here a few times and after going to linda i really love it. she's really great at acrylics and pedicures my last set lasted me months read more

I came here for a regular mani/pedi. The service and my nails were just ok. Parking isn't validated.

I went on July 1st around 6 pm they close at 8pm. I guess they were a bit busy and because it was close to closing time my service was rushed and sloppy. I look young and I'm black, so I guess they assumed I wouldn't tip or something. I wanted gel x nails and pedicure and not either of them were done with great quality. I found them on tik tok and they had great reviews so I thought they'd be better. I asked for a french tip nail with a daisy flower design on ring and middle fingers. In the end I just settled for the ring finger because I knew they were in a hurry to leave and at that point I knew I was going to get them fixed so there was no point. The French tip was more of an English suggestion. The white portion took up half the nail. I will say she did a great job with the flower design, but overall not worth what I ended up paying for. I wish I spoke up more but honestly I felt unwanted and wanted to leave as soon as possible. I just wish they turned me away instead of being greedy and taking me in if they knew they weren't going to be professional or do a good job. In the end I did tip, because I recognize that my service did take labor. I just think its ironic that if my appearance is why they provided me this service, then it's no wonder that they may have the idea that young black people don't tip well. Why would they when the service provided is subpar. read more
