Great hair styling, affordable, and FAST! I've been coming here for over 2 years as Michael and Holly do superb job cutting my luscious thick locks and styling in only 50 min. I'm always ready to hit the town afterwards! Even though it was the windiest day (seriously schools were shut down!), not a hair was out of place thanks to Michael. I love how Holly gives my hair some creative flair with long layers. I'm amazed that a haircut is only $50 (depending on length), what a bargain for McLean! As other Yelpers have noted, I would skip the nail service. My hubby and I got our nails done a year ago. The techs were pretty standoffish and our nails were in bad shape afterwards. It was far from a pampering experience and did more harm than good. Seems like the sanitation may have improved with the tools and sinks from the large sign posted, but I wouldn't try got for it. Go to Kosmo Nail Bar just up the road. Skip the fancy hair salons, come to Nouvelle and ask for Michael or Holly. 5 stars all around. read more

I did my pedi on Thursday, today is Monday. No extra words needed. I'm extremely upset by their job, on top of everything I paid 80$ for this low quality job. The stuff is amazing but not as professional as I was expecting read more

I had a Groupon and this was my first time ever coming to this salon. I got the jelly pedicure which felt so weird but amazing at the same time. The salon is much larger than it appears from the outside and it's very clean and organized inside. The jelly pedicure felt amazing on my feet and the massage and lotions they added to my feet and legs smelled delicious and were pure bliss. The service was great, got green tea during the pedi and ate a granola bar while my nails dried. I would definitely come back here for a mani/pedi for $42. My toes look flawless and I can't wait to go back. read more

Anyone who knows me knows that I have had a journey with my hair. It's thick, it's long, and it's frizzy as heck (think anne hathaway from the princess diaries BEFORE the makeover). Trust me, the before pic does not do my crazy mane justice. Straightening my hair is an event that I need to block a solid 3-5 hours for, and even then it frizzes back up in 30 minutes. I had always been interested in doing a keratin treatment or a brazillian blowout, but was hesitant about finding the right person to do it and the paying the price with my college student budget. After discovering nouvelle salon, and meeting all the wonderful people, I also got to meet Annie. I talked to her about wanting a brazillian blowout, and rather than be scared off by my untamable mane (as many a hairdresser has been) Annie was excited. God bless her soul because 6 hours, lots of arm exercises and squats later, and I could barely recognize my own hair. It's shiny, it's silky, it's STRAIGHT! It's everything I could have ever wanted and more. I am so so so in love with my hair and so in love with Annie. The 6 hours felt like nothing while I chatted with her and the rest of the staff and they are truly honestly deeply some of the kindest and most caring people I know. If you don't already go to this salon, you should !!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! read more

I know a lot of nail salons can be hit or miss, so I wanted to share the wonderful first-time experience I just had at Nouvelle. Mindy spent an hour with me giving me acrylic tips and dip powder nail color. She did a beautiful job and was fun to chat with throughout the process. I was also very impressed with their sanitation guidelines and the overall cleanliness of the salon. I will definitely be coming to Mindy to get all my future manicures! read more

I was having a difficult time finding a nail salon in the area after moving to Mclean a few months. I'm very particular with that shape and style of for my nails, and I've found a lot of salons do what they think looks best versus what you really want. After being extremely frustrated, I decided to try one more salon in the area before I traveled further for nails and made an appointment with Mindy. In short, I was blown away by how knowledgeable she was! Not only was she knowledgeable but a true artist! She gave suggestions based on her observations of my personality and style. All-in-all I was extremely happy about the look of my nails, the shape, and design! This will be my go-to salon! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I went there for the first time last weekend. It was the lady's last day there so I already knew it was gonna be a bad experience. She was very rough with the machine and the filer at the end and hurt my finger. As soon as she was done with my nails, she took me to the blue light fan to get a new customer. 5 minutes later, she comes over and gives me a 5-second "hand massage" and tells me I'm done. Less than 2 days later, 3 of them chipped and most of them had cracks. Very disappointing. The day after, 3 other ones chipped. Within 3 days, 6 of them had chipped. After a week, SIX of them broke and the rest had cracks/chips (last 2 photos). SNS has always lasted me AT LEAST 3 weeks with no chips, so I'm not sure what they're using that they all broke so fast. Very disappointed and definitely won't be going back. read more

Got the spa pedicure and sns manicure with added nail. The pedicure was great but another tech worked on my manicure and it did not end well. First she kept yanking my hand closer and when using the drill she snipped my cuticle-very painful. I wanted an ombré dip and what I got was a very poorly done ombré. She kept asking me if I liked my nails and I told her no. The ombré color transition looks horrible. read more

I had such a great experience getting my nails done for New Year's Eve. The owner/manager Mindy (so sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was so funny and great it really got me in a good mood on such a rainy day. Also, as a stickler for sanitation, this salon is all about a clean salon. The measures they take to ensure sanitation is great. Take a look at their website, and they will explain more. I will return as many times as I can! They are also doing powder nails, so go check it out! :) read more

I am a devoted SNS fan who gets them done nearly every 3 weeks to the day. I moved to this area recently and I tried Nouvelle. I got them done the day before a vacation and the NEXT DAY had every single one of them cracked or split down the middle? I went back in once I returned from vacation (within a week of original appointment). They were first incredulous that I had gotten them done (asking when? Who did them? Etc.) and one of the women who asked was the one who had completed my nails. She was willing to redo all of them but it felt a little rushed. The first few days they were fine and within 8 days 7/10 were chipped or cracked. I won't be going back. I also left with several bleeding cuticles both times from the quick job. Also can't tip in cash so you have to incur a $4 ATM fee in their salon ATM if you want to pay on card but then tip... read more

This was one of the better massages I've had in the area, and the price was one of the lower prices for an hour-long session that I've seen. The massage therapist did an excellent job; she hit just the right amount of pressure, and clearly was listening since she spent most of her time on the areas I mentioned at the beginning, rather than asking but ignoring my request. The spa itself is really nice inside; clean, spacious, and with really nice furniture and fixtures. I don't live nearby so I don't know how new the place it, but it certainly felt new (or really well maintained). The only thing I would like to see them change is the headrest on the massage table; if it had a soft covering over the padding, I would have absolutely fallen asleep, which for me is the ultimate compliment for a massage! read more

Bottom line: wholly underwhelming experience. I requested Swedish, but received an awkward, somewhat painful Thai massage...situation. The haircut I got was okay, but again, underwhelming. read more

I really enjoyed my spa pedicure at Nouvelle, and their prices are reasonable too. I had some free time on a Sunday, and I called a couple of places in the area, but they were booked solid and not taking walk-ins. I called Nouvelle, expecting the same thing, but they had appointments for pretty much any time the rest of the day, which was surprising. I went in at 4pm, and I was the only person getting a pedicure when I arrived, though a few people came in after me. For a place that isn't just a nail salon, I was really impressed by their facilities. Everything was very clean and professional, and their massage chairs were probably the best of any nail salon I've been to. They have a really good selection of OPI polishes as well as a few other brands, and my nails look fantastic. I got the peppermint spa pedicure, and it was sooo refreshing and tingly. Everyone was super nice, from the manager to the nail technician, and nobody was overly pushy. I'm taking off one star because my heels feel a little rough, but I'm definitely going back again and will probably give them an upgrade if next time is better. And FYI, you can't put the tip on your credit card here, so make sure you bring cash. read more

I'd give a zero if I could I got an acrylic full set with gel on top and there is nail glue all over my fingers and the nail polish doesn't cover my whole nail there's parts near my cuticle that are left bare and look unfinished. The lady was rushing to get my nails done to go to the next customer. They're only good at sweet talk read more

This is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to and Jade is the absolute best nail technician I've ever had. I've been going to this salon for years for all my Manicures and Pedicures (and even some updos and blowouts!). The service has always been spectacular and under the new ownership it has gotten even better. There are so many choices in colors and services. Jade has been my go to technician for years and is the only person I will let do my nails anymore. She is not only skilled, and is great at helping me pick out colors and accent colors, she is a joy to talk to and we always have a few good laughs during out appointments. She is dedicated to taking her time to make sure everything turns out the way it should. I cannot recommend this salon enough and they will have my business for years and years to come. Thank you Nouvelle and a special thanks to Jade for being the absolute best!!! read more

I'm livid leaving the salon for a pedicure. It's ridiculous to charge full price for a manicurist that is still training. He used weird tools and took forever I was in the chair for over an hour. I regret not getting up in the beginning of the service. And luckily I didn't choose a dark color or it would be visible all over my toes. Only reason I give 2 stars instead of 1 is because I would go back with a more qualified manicurist. read more

I made an appointment last minute on a Friday to get a full French nail set. I'm giving this place a 4/5 because of the language barrier between the nail techs and I prevented me from communicating with the young lady that did my nails. PRICE: The price was a bit steep but I must say the young lady took her time and my nails came out great. EXPERIENCE: Usually at other salons they insist on you getting gel on your nails with the assumption that they will last longer but not at this salon. The young woman advised me that she made my nails thick enough to last and I didn't need the gel nail polish. It has been a week now and my nails still look good. COMPLAINT: The only thing I would complain about is the language barrier because my nail tech did not understand anything I asked her to do in English. We had to wait for one of the other techs to stop what she was doing and assist us each time I attempted to communicate with the nail tech. read more

Don't be fooled by the nice decor and cleanliness - they are RUDE! I got a french manicure and the technician cut my nails so short and did not do a good job. My nails looked like something a 10 year old would do. When I complained the woman - very snobby I think she may be the owner - came by and said "Oh it looks fine, you have to let the technician know next time if you want the french manicure to be curved. I have NEVER heard of this! The white line on my french nails were straight - not curved or cleaned up. They finally agreed to redo it but while it was being redone, EVERY single nail technician kept walking by and saying "I think she did a great job on your nails" "It loooks fine" etc...basically bullying me. After the nail technician finished redoing my nails she snobbily said "Are you happy now?" as if I am the one that made a mistake. Never going back again. Save your money - they charge a LOt for terrible service. Stay AWAY! read more

Life can't be all work and no play. And for me after play must come relaxation. So when I saw the Groupon deal for a $29 jelly pedicure, I hopped all over it. SideNote, I love the fact that Groupon deals are starting to last more than 1 day #waittiligetmymoneyright!!! I tried to book an appointment ASAP but of course there must have been others just excited as me. So the earliest I could get in was today (Jan. 9th). Since the snow came from nowhere they were friendly enough to call and ask me to arrive bit earlier in case they closed early. I told them I'd be there as soon as I could. Now if you know life in theDMV, you know it consist of traffic, traffic, and a lil more traffic. And to add a bit of snow that was just the icing on the cake. Finally I arrived 15 minutes after their suggested time but 15 minutes before my actual appointment. I surrendered my coupon which showed I paid and chose 2 colors(I always choose 2 or 3 I can never decide and just let them choose). The nail tech was already prepaired, water warm and waiting. Now I'd read reviews which stated that jelly pedicures maintain the heat and it sure does. Although I don't like different textures when it comes to food I loved feeling the jelly bits in between my toes and on the bottoms of my feet. The tech told me that the jelly actually makes your skin soft so that you won't have to use the salt exfoliant since that can sometimes hurt the skin and make it red. It smelled very citrusy. A few things that were different from other salons is 1. The professionalism 2. Everything was soooo modern. Instead a typical salt exfoliant she used a chocolate sugar scrub. It smelled sooo delicious. Although it wasn't abrasive (like I'm used to) you could actually see the dead skin being removed. After she did that and massaged my feet, she rubbed mineral clay which was thick and smelled like peppermint. It was very cooling on my skin. She went and got hot towels which were wrapped around my legs for a short period. Next she followed with some type of warming lotion. The sensations were great along with the jelly pedicure. As I type I can still feel the cooling sensation. If you're concerned with the color choices, they have OPI as well as Color Club. The service was phenomenal and the decor was just as FAB. The floors were tiled, there were chandelier lights. There were granite counter tops and sconces above. There were columns and arches leading you to and from the pedicure area. Will I be treating myself here again? You better believe it, the prescence of snow nor the lack of a GroupOn deal can keep me away. I didn't speak about the actual technician Hannah, she was very nice and informative. She didn't speak too much but did very well explaining the products she was using and how well they'd work. Since I didn't come with sandals and there was snow outside Hannah oiled my toes and seran wrapped them for me so they wouldn't mess up. read more

Had a groupon for the chocolate pedicure. Figured while getting my feet done I might as well get a gel manicure too. It's in a strip mall but luckily the spa looks nicer than your typical walk-in nail salon. Overall the pedicure was fine. They just used chocolate flavored scrubs and lotions. The jets in the foot basin were not that strong which kind of sucked but she did a good job with my feet. The manicure on the other hand looks like a child did them. The edges are not neat at all and I would rather go somewhere else. They also kept trying to convince me to get my hair done and saying it looks bad. I'm getting my nails done, not my hair. And if you want to try to get me to come for my hair, just tell me about the services. Don't tell me how bad my hair is. read more

Great location! Its right next to the Safeway so there is plenty of parking and traffic is non-existent. I love being able to just walk in and get attention right away. All the ladies on staff are really nice and helpful. Prices are reasonable. They have pretty good coupons/deals most of the time so its good for a first time customer who just wants to check it out. I have never gotten my hair done there but I've seen them do a pretty good job on other clients hair. read more

I have the trifecta: super thick, frizzy, coarse hair. Its partly curly, partly wavy. And its always a puffy mess. In the summer I just give up and wear a bun or braid everyday (actually that's pretty much year round). I cannot get a blow out or flat iron it as it just puffs up the minute I step outside. I finally got around to trying the Brazilian Blowout. Of course there used to be millions of Groupons, until I needed one... I chose Nouvelle based on a good review from a friend. I am now going to be a loyal Brazilian Blowout customer at Nouvelle. I'm already planning to go back June 15. I made an appointment and the manager offered me the new client special pricing (I don't know how long that offer goes but I'm glad I got it). Michael was my stylist. He was thorough, took his time, and the results are fantastic. In total it took 3.5 hours (with a quick hair trim at the end). Nouvelle uses Brazilian Blowout brand products and the process is different than many other Keratin treatments. Step 1 - wash hair Step 2 - apply chemicals (let sit a few minutes) Step 3 - blow dry completely dry Step 4 - flat iron Step 5 - wash hair again Step 6 - blow dry again (no flat iron necessary) Its a little sad to have to have your hair washed after just having spent so much time having it dried and ironed and it already looks so pretty. But you do have to wash, and the second blow dry leaves it looking just as good. And the best part is you can wash your hair as soon as you want -- no waiting 3 days. Its like someone else's hair on my head -- its so strange to have silky, soft, shiny (and straight) hair. I finally washed it 2 days later (completely terrified). Still looks great today (even though I don't have a flat iron -- or a round brush -- I only used a blow dryer and a regular brush to dry it mostly then I added some Moroccan oil and spray Garnier oil). Its not as straight as when Michael did a real blow out but almost. And the humidity does nothing to my hair now -- it is silky and smooth. I'm told that it should last a few months -- we'll see. Michael said he recommends every 3 months the first few times, then after that, every 5 months. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to try this... I definitely will come back to Nouvelle, and request Michael, and strongly recommend others do the same. Hoping for a Groupon soon though -- I think $395 is the full price, but honestly even at full price it seems a reasonable amount to pay to not have crazy, wild hair. read more

It was my 2nd time visiting this salon and I must say I will never recommend it or go back again. I went back a 2nd time because my friend loves one of the nail stylist, Hannah. The 1st time they cut all my cuticles off and I was in pain, leaving before I received a polish. This time though, was the most concerning. I left looking like a 5 year old gave me a manicure. I had jagged polish and the gold glitter ombré I wanted turned into some gold sparkles scattered on my nail. At that current moment the lady could not understand what I wanted because she could not understand any English. Then when another lady tried to interpret, she still had no clue!! Then someone else took over and didn't charge me the $5 sparkle charge. I should not have been charged at all for my gel manicure - leaving with polish all over my skin and it chipped in 4 days! I will never go to this salon ever again. read more

I was in McLean for work and needed a manicure asap. They were able to fit me in same day and did a great job. Very clean!

Decided last minute on a Friday afternoon after scrolling through pinterest that I wanted balayage highlights. MY hair is mousy brown, but i had all over blonde highlights and i was feeling really washed out. I called and they said they were booked for the aternoon, but ended up calling back about a minute later with an opening in 30 minutes. I made my way to the salon. Nice salon with mostly nail stations. Lots of people getting manicures. The place itself is very large. I was taken over for a consultation - $150 to darken my base and add balayage highlights. It will only be 95 to upkeep going forward. She did a wonderful job (not sure of her name - sorry!) I am so happy with my hair and feel like it has been refreshed. I would go back for touchups. Also - unable to put tip on credit card. I went to Safeway and got cash back on a transaction. read more

This place is completely unsanitary. I got a pedicure and she pulled out tools from somewhere one by one and they were not together in a sanitized package that nail techs usually open in front of you. After she drained the water she also picked up the sponge, ran it one time over one side of the basin and she was done-gross! Also she tried to scrub me with a white pumice stone and half of it was yellow from people's dirty feet-I freaked out and screamed no!! It's soooo gross here! I asked for my nails short and she kept insisting that they won't look good. That is not necessary as they should do what you want. I think she was just lazy. She was not friendly at all and looked miserable the whole time. Paint job was very mediocre. Based on the sanitation and unfriendliness I would not come back! read more

I took three of my cousins visiting from New York for a girls day at spa to this salon. It's close to my house. On entry we were greeted nicely and helped immediately. One of my cousin's wanted a gel manicure, we all had manicure and pedicure and she had gel manicure. Our pedicures were great. Manicure was awful, they rushed us and did a bad job with nail color. My skin started coming off around the edges at day 2. My cousin who got gel manicure complained he'd nails were hurting badly she had to get the gel nails off. It was terrible. When we were drying our nails under the dryer they constantly rushed us and finally asked us to leave cause they thought nails were dry but they weren't because the dumb lady who put us under didn't turn the fan on. Overall if you can't afford a good spa then this one could be an option that comes with pain. I would not go there again. read more

Very Disappointed! While I was still in the chair, I told Michael the hair color was wrong this time. The following morning I returned and told him it was too light. He offered to correct it at FULL PRICE. I have been a loyal customer for 2 years and now would need to pay FULL PRICE for his mistake. I feel bad for recommending him to friends. I returned to Elizabeth Arden. Only $15 more and W00 times better! read more
