This was my first time at Inspire Nail Bar, and I was disappointed. I came in for a pedicure and waited about 20 minutes before anyone helped me. The service felt very rushed. One person filed my nails quickly, then another person painted them just as fast. The polish was thick, had missed spots, and some of my toenails weren't even fully painted. There also wasn't a proper place to dry my toes afterward. Overall, it felt like they just wanted me in and out as quickly as possible instead of providing quality service. read more

Kelly was my nail tech. I received the best pedicure that I have had at this shop. The attention given yo my cuticles was superb. The lavender scrub was outstanding. I will always request Kelly read more

Nothing special here. They charged me $60 (PLUS TAX) for a pedicure and he didn't even wrap my feet in plastic before he did the calluses removal, only sat my foot on top of a piece of plastic wrap while he worked on the next one. Then he filed my toe nails uneven, however he did try to fix it-but he began filing the shorter side instead of the long side. He really tried to do his best I guess, but sometimes your best just isn't good enough. Not to mention 2 hours later my feet feel like cinder blocks again. I feel like for $60 I did not get what I paid for, and on top of that, this is the first nail salon that I've ever been to that has charged tax. This was my first and last visit. read more

Tam and the salon are great amazing work and professional at a great price. Salon is alway clean pleasant relaxing environment.

Very disappointed with my first visit. The first nail tech put on very crooked nails that were way too thick for my fingers. They looked really bad from the start. I had to switch the nail tech during my Service which messed up the timing, and I wasn't even able to get the pedicure I originally came for. Thankfully Tina attempted to fix my nails, but they still weren't what I asked for and ended up looking like white blocks. The whole experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

My daughter and I walked in for pedicures and we were immediately greeted and welcomed to the back. Customer service was amazing! The service was on point. My daughter got the simply pedicure and I got the soften pedicure.....AHHHHMAZING. The decor and ambiance are very relaxing. This will be a hidden gem that I will sneak away to when I'm in the area. read more

I've visited this salon twice in the past few months for a gel pedicure. The salon is bright and clean. The nail techs are friendly and attentive. The pedicures I received are comparable to those I've had in the past in terms of the specific services included. The prices are a bit high (in my opinion) but that seems like it's the norm now. The pedicures are listed in their "menu" without the additional cost of gel so be prepared to pay a $20 fee if you add gel to your service. A gel pedicure starts at $50 and increases based on the type of pedicure you choose. I did notice that some of the customers were offered drinks but I wasn't offered anything either time I visited so I'm not sure if that's exclusive to certain customers or if my techs just forgot/decided not to ask. Regardless, I would return because I've been able to walk in and the quality of the services have been consistent. read more

Beautiful space! I went with a friend to get my nails done after a long time. Setting an appointment was easy. I did find this place on Yelp. My nails came out amazing!! read more

So far I've had fill-ins from both Kim and Kevin, I've been pretty pleased with the work. The salon is clean and attractive with a calm and tranquil atmosphere. Kim was very nice, whenever all she did a decent job, but she had a little bit of trouble making my stiletto nails even on both sides. Fortunately she got them almost where I needed them to be, so I didn't have much work to do to fix them. Before she finished buffing them, she let me take the nail file and make the small changes that she wasn't able to make. No problem. She also did an excellent polish change on my toes. I came to Kevin after he did an exceptional job with a nail repair. He was better at shaping my stiletto nails but he added So. Much. Polish. So much so, that it changed the shape/appearance of the nail when we were done. I wanted to ask him to fix it, but I all the staff left there had taken their masks off while they were cleaning or putting things away, and I didn't feel comfortable or safe. I was the last customer of the evening of my appointment was finishing up, but they decided to All sit together near me, unmasked, and chat. Nope. At that point, all I wanted to do was get out of there. I've also noticed several nail techs that do not wear their masks in the salon when they are not servicing customers, which makes me very uncomfortable. I have brought these concerns up before, but they continue to happen. Huge red flag for me. read more

Absolutely outstanding customer service! I did a walk in and they sat me down right away. They lined my basin with a disposable lining and used sanitized nail tools. They were patient with my requests and were detailed about the services they offered. I'm usually skeptical about trying new shops especially for acrylic sets but my nail tech did amazing. She was so sweet. I loved my french pedi and my full set was equally as beautiful. My nail tech was Kim and she took her time. I will definitely come back. read more

I went ahead and tried this salon, based on the generally OK reviews. There was one review and particular that I should have listened to in regards to the cleanliness of the salon. You could tell they don't clean much or between patrons. I actually watched one pedicure be perform and before the next customer, no cleaning was done at all they just change the liner. My own pedicure chair was dirty with some leftover napkins in the cupholder, and I requested to change chairs. Whew. My overall pedicure and manicure service was just OK and I didn't notice until I had left at my manicure (dip powder plus chrome) had bubbles. UGH. And on top of that 3% transaction fee on all cards. I'm truly not a very picky person so for me to say anything says everything- Won't be back. read more

I'll start with the positives: *my nails look great and so do my feet, thanks Sean! *good price I paid 105 for regular pedicure and gel manicure with some "design" stickers *staff was friendly, accommodating and friendly Negatives: * place was not clean I saw something that crawls and a fly that wouldn't leave me alone. Also never saw them spray anything down *opened late, I got there around 10:20 and they still weren't open *a lot of angry customers I won't get into the reasons I will probably go again just remind myself it's temporary read more

Do not come here. Poor quality gel polish. I tip every time I have a service- but they don't deserve it. This is only my second visit and on the second day both times, the gel polish started to lift. Ironically on my second visit, less than 2 weeks from the first onlay, Maria said 'who did your nails' I said 'Dan, less than 2 weeks ago' she said wow, they shouldn't be lifting. I said I know- which is why I decided not to go back to him. There is a visible sign that says 7 day warranty on polish. In addition to polish chipping, I also had an index finger chip and thumb chip- this is a short onlay set. I arrived within the 7 day window to have my polish and nails repaired. I was told that sometimes gel doesn't work and I should choose a different color. After not being able to decide on which color I'd like, I asked just to have the nails repaired and a clear final coat applied (again this is a short onlay). I also asked the manager or whoever he was, why would you continue to use gel that isnt quality. He got noticeably upset. He said 'how can we know which one is bad, we have 1000s of colors' Well, 2 visits in and a teal blue chipped, then a nude pink chipped.... show me the colors that don't chip on day 2 and I'll choose from those lol How are you supposed to choose a color in confidence that it's not one of the bad ones. Maybe they just invest in cheap products, either way. I'll go back first thing in the am when it's less busy and get my clear coat and nails repaired. I don't understand how someone who services the public can be upset when they paid for a service..... He walked away without telling me how long it would be before I would have the repairs done. I left with no service. read more

Low quality nail care. Definitely could have done much better at home. The nail tech was rude and dismissive.

I love Inspire Nail Bar and I go to Maria. She does clean, high-quality work and is patient and receiving of positive and negative feedback. My positive for Maria: perfect shaping, color selection, bonding & neat application of acrylic. My negative feedback: she just couldn't get right shape of the French tip I desired. That's not an issue, it's actually very hard to do free-hand. I ordered her some stencils that I'll be dropping off. She didn't get upset with me when I asked to remove the two French tips she did for unevenness. She was happy to ensure the final product was up to par. I'll be returning to her. The salon is beautiful, neat and sanitary. Great parking and on a major bus line. Next to a few restaurants, Walmart and the international grocer--good central spot for getting all your errands done. I withheld a star because the owners consistently open 15-30 minutes after the posted business opening time. I'll arrive at 9:55a, in an attempt to avoid a long wait. And I'll end up sitting there for 20-35 minutes. Also, making appointments are a waste of time when you still have to wait for up to 45 minutes--after your scheduled appointment time--to receive service. Please find a better way to manage these things. Folks have things to do and lives to live. I look forward to returning to Maria. read more

Went In with my mom, a male friend and myself. My mom's and male friend's nail tech were great to them. I ended up with the guy from the front desk who received every call in the middle of doing my nails (5 calls), and accidentally dropped the phone on my foot (not sure if he said sorry or just oops). It did leave a dent in the nail polish that he didn't even fix. He seemed rushed from start to finish. Im not a person who argues so I just let it be. I left pretty upset on the nail quality and color. My nails were left uneven & the color had some particles (I guess it was old paint/didnt tell me to wash my hands after the buffing). I got a mani & pedi but really wasnt happy with it. My mother and the male friend were happy with there service. Mom received a gel pedi, male friend picked a pedi (no color) which is why the 3 stars. *edited to add 6 pictures. * Few days later the nail polish has cracked & lifted read more

I was looking for a nail place on my way home and I noticed this place had amazing reviews so I decided to check it out for myself. I was a regular walk-in without an appointment and was attended right away. I was there for a pedicure and dip with tip manicure. It was a little more expensive than I am used to but it was honestly well worth it. They're very attentive. I showed them a picture of what I wanted from Pinterest and they were determined to find someone I the salon that would be able to get it done. Honestly I was amazed!!! The guy did such an amazing job on my nails the price didn't even matter at that point. I will definitely be coming back read more

My experience at Inspire nails was relaxing and I got beautiful results. SEVEN did my nails and it was my first time doing SNS dip manicure. He gently took off my gel first and then did the dip process. It went faster and looks more smooth than gel. I will see how long it lasts but I know a lot of lifestyle factors affect nail wear. Another impressive thing and a girst for me was getting a tip on one nail. I broke it a few days ago but thr rest of my nails are natural. Bet you can't guess which one isn't! Perfect application. The salon was beautiful. When I had to call to be late to the appointment they were accomedating and caring telling me to drive safe. I will definitely go again. Nails below read more

This salon is amazing!! Even when I was living in Rockville , I used to drive here for nail service. What I love about them is that they work as a team to ensure everyone has a quality experience. I was getting liquid gel when I started with them, but Lee convinced me to try gel x and I've been hooked since. I bounce between Lee and Donny based upon their availability vs my schedule and I'm always satisfied. Whenever I show them the design I want, they end up doing it better. I also like that you can book online and get confirmation of your appointment. They also take Apple Pay and cash app if you forget your wallet. Don't delay, book today! read more

I have been looking for a new nail salon for a while now, and after reading Yelp and Google reviews decided to try Inspire, despite it being a bit farther than I'm used to traveling I made my appt online with Lee and she didn't disappoint. She listened to what I wanted and also saw my vision from a photo I showed. Upon arrival I was immediately seated, and noticed the cleanliness of the salon. I also noticed new tools being opened for use and thrown away after use if it wasn't a material that could be sterilized. Despite the distance, I will be going back again because it is definitely worth it. read more

I love their online system to make an appointment. You can select from various options and select which nail tech. They have check in system on the ipad that they clean in between each customer. They have clear class between the nail tech and the customer. Crystal did my nails exactly like the picture I gave her. She took her time and paid attention to all the details. She was friendly and good conversation. All staff were friendly. They offer various nail services, waxing services and lashes. There is free parking, Starbucks, Tropical Smoothie Cafe and McDonald's in the same area. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was looking forward to a really luxurious spa experience and I unfortunately didn't receive that. The customer service was seriously lacking, which is disappointing as a friend referred me. I booked an appointment online a few days prior & day of and arrived early for my 10:30 appointment. I wasn't acknowledged when I walked in and stood at the front for a few minutes before I walked to the back to ask about my appointment. No one knew where the technician was and I had to to ask if they would call him for an update or an ETA. After waiting over an hour for him to arrive, I shared the French-tip design I wanted and it became very clear he didn't want to do a fresh set of acrylic overlay on my nails (I explicitly booked this) or even do the design I asked for. He said he couldn't do it, even though I saw that exact design on the Instagram with his name. I quickly chose another design I saw on the Instagram. The French tip & design is sloppy, the acrylic is already lifting on day 2, the gel polish is not even covering some of my nails fully. It was a rushed job and honestly really unacceptable. I was expecting so much more. 3 hours later, I paid $150 (acrylic fill-in & simple gel pedicure) and left very unhappy. I will note that I tipped 20% on top of that. The actual salon itself was clean and stylish. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would! They offered to fill in my acrylic... instead of giving me new acrylic (on only two big toes)... added $10 to my total...? For FILL... IN... on two toes then filled it in with a DIFFERENT acrylic color than what I originally had (blind). Then said they would paint over it to match, it did not match (you probably expected that). Then I asked for smiley french... this is what I got and it took TWO ppl to achieve this mess... $70 total. -Rhianne B. 10/6/23 read more

Do not go here. You can spend far less and get a much better service. They up charge $20 for any gel service and are not up front about the additional fee. Their technicians are decent but not great and there are 2 salons near my office I go to and spend at least $10 less and they actually offer you a beverage. This is PG county not Alexandria or NWDC. I also heard at least 3 other patrons who were getting services quite displeased with the quality and asked several times for someone else to step in and complete their services. Pathetic. read more

I had been driving to Fairfax to get my nails done but my tech was on vacay and I badly needed a pedicure before a trip with a lot of walking. Tried Inspire which is hella closer to my house. Julie took such good care of me and my poor toes, saving me from the pain of ingrown nails. I don't think I've ever had calluses removed so thoroughly. On a busy Saturday afternoon the wait wasn't long. I called ahead of time and was told there were walk ins only for the day. Unsure if that's every Saturday or just that day. I overhead that mornings were less staff on hand so there's normally a longer wait. There's a Starbucks next door so you can grab a drink and relax during your appointment. It's great to find an establishment that is friendly, CLEAN, and worth returning to in the neighborhood. read more

I came in on a Sunday around 4:15-ish. I asked for a full set and gel polish. Caiden (Tony) was my nail tech and he was fantastic. I told him i wanted something natural and he pulls out a pink nail polish that he recommended. Not only was he quick, I could tell he has done this a long time. He just knew what tips to grab, he didn't have to try different tips on my nails to see which fit. He was very careful and I like that my nails don't look chunky, they look very natural. I was out by 5. I'm very pleased and will be going back. read more
