Gel polish pooled over cuticles. Polish totally lifted and flaked off on this nail - within 24 hours of nails being done.

Robin O.

I began a review a 2 days ago on this place & entered photos. If interested in them, please scroll down to see. That post was too long as-is, so I'll finish everything here. It PAINS me to write this review. The owner of Lovely Nail, Don, is the nicest guy you'll meet. If you go into the salon and he's there, you'll find him greeting everyone - many by name - & meandering about engaging with everyone there. He makes sure everything goes well. If Don is there, there will be no issues. I know. I've gone to the salon for about ten years. While the only two stellar nail techs are Tina & Gigi, the rest of them are good enough - especially for the price. It's been really rare that the nails were done super well. But nothing to complain about, you know? I mean, really? At that $? But truth be told, it's also been rare that terrible things have happened. Again, when Don is there. Once I had a lady darn near burn my hands. We were taking nails off. I've had that done before. They stick aluminum foil wraps around your fingers. This woman put my hands straight into acetone & kept them there for SEVERAL min. My hands began to itch. I told her. She was curt. She told me to keep my hands in. No care in the world to my itching hands. The hands - after more time - began to feel like they were on fire. They began to swell. I told her. Repeatedly. Nicely. She ignored me & was rude. At some point, I had enough & raised my voice. It's not okay to put a customer into that type of position where she has to raise her voice to be heard. But I did. Don was there. Handled everything immediately & appropriately. I've had a couple of other situations. Again, Don was there & handled them. Were Don always there - a feat no one can manage - I'd rate the place a four. Could never give it a five as the place isn't really as clean as it should be. For exp, there are only two nail brushes at the sink for everyone in the salon that day to use to wash their nails during a gel paint job. You heard that right. Only two. They're never put into the Barbicide solution that every other salon I've been to uses to disinfect such things - even in MEXICO where I've spent much time. I've never seen the instruments sterilized either - just wiped off. That said, I'm assuming - hopefully - they do something more than I've seen at night. The floors always look like they need a deep clean. The stations are clean enough, depending upon whose station you're at. Yeah, if you're a clean freak, not the place for you. That said, it's not filthy. I mean, I went for ten years on and off, right? :) The problem is that when Don isn't there & Wendy is in charge the place goes to hell. Wendy is bar none the rudest person I've met in business. When I got my nails done & saw - in the natural light - just how bad they were, I went right back into the salon & told them. Didn't even leave the parking lot. At no time did anyone even ask to see the nails. Not good. They offered to touch them up. Touch them up? They needed to be totally redone. I had to go to work. I didn't ask for $ back. I just wanted them to see the work and asked them to be more careful. Again, they never saw the work as they never asked to see the work. I was going to let it go & just never see that tech again. But then, within 24 hours, the gel polish started PEELING off my nails?! I had to work two back-to-back ten hour days & then leave to go to Boston. I didn't have time to get them redone. I called. Asked to speak to Don. Politely for the first five times. YES, I politely asked to speak to Don 5 times. Each time I was asked rudely by some guy, "What do you want?" Finally I wasn't so polite. I told the guy I'd asked politely 5 times to speak to Don & couldn't understand why a polite request wasn't being granted. He told me there were two Dons & that the owner wasn't there that day. This is an exp of really poor customer service. There was no need to agitate a customer here. "Ma'am, which Don did you need to speak with, because the owner isn't here." That's all that needed to be said when I asked the 1st time. They put Wendy on the phone. I tried, politely at first, to tell her the issue. No apology for the situation. No decency, actually. Just beyond rude. I needed to come back - & get this - WAIT my turn after everyone else to get them redone. No, I couldn't make an appt. That wouldn't be fair to those waiting. WHAT? Lady, I have already waited my turn. You go to the post office and they make you step out of line to finish the packaging. But then they let you get back to the front of the line. Deference needs to be paid to folks you've wronged? You're wasting MY time because nails were done atrociously. Let's not get this twisted? She was so rude that, frankly, I was none too polite at the end. Went & got my $ back. She never even came to speak to me. No one looked at my nails. A worker was sent to ask me not to return. Like I ever would.

Man O Man this is a hard one for me because I've been coming here on and off for years and with all due respect to Don but damn. How I spend 50$ for this shit! Lee press ons look better I'm actually embarrassed. What I wanted in shape is an almond look and aside from Pictures I shared with my Tech I got her work on my hands alright. Upset beyond belief. Been getting my nails done for a long time now! 25 years! This is probably worse than something I got in the 90s. Sorry but I will never come back! On top of that you get way over charged by length here ain't no 35$ gel full set. I got charged 15$ extra dollars for this baby length like nah. N gave me the discount price for the nails not mentioning the discount was already added to that price so what discount? 50 for this mess! I'm good

If you require clients to wear mask so should your staff. Please care for your clients and their safety.

I always L O V E my nails when I leave this salon. These ones are due for a fill but safe to say I've been going here for a couple months now and have yet to be disappointed. Fair prices too. I drive an hour just to go to this salon. That should say something.

This is my nail lifting up and this is just one of them.

I went to go get my nails done here on the 4th of July, the next day my gel pedicure was already gone off of one toe. As a couple days go by the gel polish on my hands are lifting and are getting caught in my hair. The young lady who did my pedicure cut my toe while doing my cuticles. When I came back to get it fixed on July 12th, because I work and am school for nursing, they told me that it cannot be fixed and that it's time to get it done all over again anyway. I will not be returning here because this is the second time I came here and had a terrible experience. The manager was of no help and did not apologize for the experience or the inconvenience. I do not recommend coming here at all, they take your money and do not care about the experience or accommodating for the inconvenience.

BOMB service! My friends and I went in here on a Sunday AFTER it was closed and they still took us and stayed late to make sure we were happy. All of the nail techs in there know how to file and it may seem as if they are rushing, but that's just how they work, fast! Don (the owner) is sooooo sweet and made all of us feel welcomed! They also have discounts if you come Mon-Thur and pay with cash. It was definitely a win win and my friends and I will definitely be back!

I kid you not...this is a picture of my nails after just leaving the Lovely Nail Salon, Oxon Hill, MD.

Alissa M.

Never again! I requested a regular manicure. 3 coats later of "DND" Polish, which I wonder if it is manufactured for gel manicures, I ended up with clumps of polish on my nails. The young guy who did my nails barely touched my cuticles. His technique was off. He applied the polish on my nails as if he was applying gel, patting and not stroking the polish on, therefore causing clumps. I have to wonder if a lamp would have helped with drying as opposed to a fan. My brows weren't done well. Wendy rushed through them. The owner seems nice. I won't be back. The service is totally lacking!

Nasty salon they refuse to wash hands and clean behind switching customer

I've been a customer at lovely nails for a few yrs now.... Recently I started getting my lashes done there as well..... long story short I have very sensitive skin So I always asked that before we start my lashes if they could wash their hands, well evidently!!!! that was a problem!!!! Each time Wendy the owners wife would refused to wash her hands after servicing a customer before me I'm not a picky customer and I'm not hard to get along with I just have very sensitive skin but I'm very disappointed that they would turn down business to avoid washing her hand I've spent thousands of dollars there and sent plenty of customers but I'm so unsatisfied with my service today I will never return again

Takeya M.

Came to this spot twice and haven't been disappointed yet. I can't remember the name of the lady that did my nails the first time. But Tina did a beautiful job on my nails today for my bday weekend. So I will be going to her for now on.

HannaElizabeth J.

I told the nail tech please don't use the drill on my nails, for my nails are very brittle from other techs shaving them down. My nail beds hurt. My nails are transparent. She caught an attitude, did a very sloppy job. I got nail dip. It's very hard to mess that up. I've had my nails short and shorter than they are now and look 100% better. I won't be back. Why is it so hard to find a good nail tech. My nails should look as good underneath and on top period. I'm not a happy customer at all. My nails look like little potatoes. Very bulky and cuticles are grossly undone.

People hype this place to much! Honestly, I been here 6 times. (2-6 times I had no other option). I learned to put appointments elsewhere. This place will charge you for every new job they do for you. Shape? Gel or Polish? All detailed oriented. I am not a fan of that man- Owner Don. He looks money hungry. Go to VA. Different Vibes. Not any other salon I been to have been like this treatment I get from this salon. Keep in mind, this salon is not even spa looking or anything close to selling fruits & wine meanwhile doing nail/pedi services like VA. The worst in Oxon Hill, MD. read more

I went twice. The first time, a nail design was messed up. I came in the next day for a repair, they kept taking other customers ahead of me until I just walked out, dissatisfied. The second time!!! The tech, Tiffany gave me severe infection in my right thumb. Half of my nail bed was covered. The entire thumb was swollen and terribly painful. The pus began to leak from under the nail. I ended up in the ER on antibiotics and had to get my thumb stabbed and lanced. It's still in the same condition now, I got these nails done 11 days ago. I paid $70. The pain is unbearable to the touch, its affecting my job performance and my daily routine. I would never go there again. I will be looking towards taking legal action. read more

I came here all the time in high school so I thought it would be smart to come while my nail tech was out of town... WRONG! I got a fill-in and gel pedicure Thursday night. Outside of clipping a piece of skin on my toe my pedicure was okay but my fill in was TRASH! By Thursday night I had two broken nails and chipped polish. Friday I returned to the shop to get it fixed and they fixed it. I was satisfied until Saturday morning when another nail broke! I took the time to return to the shop again. A lady started getting loud with me and told me "maybe you are doing too much" when I asked if they could do my acrylic again because it clearly wasn't done right! My nails hardly ever break!

I used to go to this salon regularly when I lived in the oxon hill area. I hadn't been back in a while since I moved. The thing I like about them is they give 15% off everything if you pay with cash Mon-Thurs. they're much cheaper than dc so I decided to revisit. Unfortunately I hated my nails when I left. They were lumpy and she couldn't do the ombré how I wanted. I reshaped my nails and everything when i got home because they were so ugly. I probably won't go back. read more

The lady that did my nails did a horrible job and charged me way to much for a fill in. When I called they said 12 dollars and when I got there and ask they said 17. I am vietnamese and everyone that worked in there is also. I don't look like it so I just spoke English so I can hear if they talk trash about me or anyone. They definitely talk a lot of crap and rush your nails when it's packed. The lady covered my lifted nail with more acrylic and I told her and she just put more on top and didn't even smooth it out. Also my nails were pointy when I went in now some of my nails look like chipped teeth. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

My manicure and pedicure was mediocre at best. Really really basic service for $40 and only there for 20 mins. No hot towel for just 2 mins on my feet or hands. That's supposed to be deluxe package. I felt ripped off and did not enjoy my service. The sink to wash your hands was dirty. Dried up food on the sink handles. Looked like dried boogers. The paper towel dispenser was dirty and dusty. Trash can next to sink overloaded. Place is not up to par. I give it negative stars. read more

Typical nail chop shop. Absolutely horrible service, with reused implements on different clients. Most of the staff and rude, and will rush through your nails if you aren't a regular. They put too many coats of gel on, so you'll have goopy thick nails. Not worth the prices, and the illegal $2 credit card fee! read more

This review is looooooooong overdue. Do NOT waste your time coming to this unprofessional, uncaring establishment. I came to get a full set of acrylic nails. Everything was going fine right up until I picked out my color. The woman who was doing my nails slopped on the color and messed up on my thumb. I informed her that she messed up on my thumb and she simply shrugged. I was stunned by her rudeness and I (don't know why I did this) brushed it off. I decided to go get waxed under my arms and was taken to this shabby back room. The waxer DOUBLE DIPPED! That was a major no no and she also caught an attitude when I asked if she could use a fresh stick. Not to mention someone walked right in and a few of the patrons caught the sight of me wearing only my bra in the waxing chair. Once that catastrophe was over I asked another woman who was working there if she could redo my thumb nail. She rolled her eyes and walked away. Seriously, how unprofessional was that? The lady who did my nails walked over and asked what the problem was and I once again told her that she messed up my thumb nail and needed to fix it. They both proceeded to explain to me that there was nothing they could fix. I thought twice about tipping the ladies but I'm no arsehole so I quickly paid and left without a second thought. I will never in my life come back to this place again. read more

Never AGAIN! How dare she take an individual eyelash client in the MIDDLE of my service? No "excuse me", no "do you mind", no warning, NOTHING! I asked after a few minutes where did she go and they just said in the back and that was it. I said is she in the bathroom? They called her back over to me and she was holding a set of individual lashes in her hand. After saying she was letting the acrylic dry on my fingers (which doesn't take more than a minute usually) I said that it wasn't right she took another client like my time isn't valuable and I'm leaving. Then, after I tried to be civil and offer to pay for what she's already complete, she tried to charge me 90% of the price! Are you serious? Now, the first time I went, I figured since she sat next to the register, then I can understand her taking the payments, but to take another client??? Then try to charge me knowing I had to go somewhere else to finish, ABSURD! So I brought it to her attention that that was unreasonable, being calm and patient, she waved her had in my face and said "no charge". Because I don't do drama I just left. But best believe, I will NEVER go there again and I DON'T recommend them. Go across the street to Zen nails, they finished my nails and I've been going there ever since, not to mention it's cleaner and they sanitize their instruments. read more

I went to get dolled up for my birthday this weekend. I got a mani, pedi, eyelashes n brow wax. They started off with the pedi. That was wonderful, they actually went under the toe nail to clean. No one does that anymore! Then Cindy was pulled away to do an eyebrow wax. I'm used to this. While she was doing that they decided to take me n do my brows n lashes. My brows are amazing. However I will NEVER get my lashes done here again. Wendy used way too much glue. I wanted my lashes full but I think they r too full. All that I would b able to deal w/ if it weren't for 2 things. My lashes hurt. I'm gonna withstand the pain until my birthday though. Then I had to go back the next day and have them cut one of the lashes bc it was falling in my eye but it was still glued so I couldn't get it myself. Today is day 2 n another lash is falling. I just cut that myself. As far as my nails. I was soaking off a gel set while getting my pedi. Idk how long it's supposed to take but by the time my pedi was done they still weren't ready to come off. So they used a nail clipper to take it off but they took pieces of my nail off with it. I was supposed to get another gel set but b4 I knew it I was getting a gel mani. I didn't trip even though I didn't ask for that bc they took layers (i have a noticeable dip) of my nail n I figured more damage would b done w a gel set. read more

I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.

Love Don and the entire staff at Lovely Nails. I usually get full sets, pedicures, and my eyebrows done here. I have seen people get eyelashes, and Wendy does a really good job with them. I rarely see anyone not being satisfied with service, and the one time I did; we all had the sneaking suspicion (we, the customers who were present at the time) that the young girl just wanted to get her eyebrows done for free and had no intention of paying to begin with. The location is great; accessible from D.C., PG and N. VA. It's always clean and welcoming, even for walk-ins. read more

So, I waited a total of 15mins between services for the same person with no apologies for my inconvenience. My nails were rushed and awfully done.

Located in Capital Heights, at my first appointment, it was kind of hard to spot. Be aware of the parking, as some of the spots are assigned. Upon walking in, use the door on the right to access the nail salon. Appointments are made online, and Tenecia prefers that appointments are made at the half hour only. No problems there. Nice selection of colors to choose from, and the place is clean. I noticed that Tenecia takes the time to clean the bowl in between clients, which I totally dig. Also, she uses new new tools, like emery boards, and buffers for each person. My first appointment was a gel mani (with designs of course) and a pedi. Let me tell you, it was one of thee best pedicures that I have EVER had. She is absolutely excellent at what she does. I loved the gel manicure as well, because she actually does a manicure; you know soaks the hands, trims the cuticles, massage, and the like. She totally takes her time. My nails were shaped beautifully, and they actually grew! Woop! My only issue, is that my mani didn't last as long as I would have expected, but that could totally be me, because I'm super hard on my nails. Oh, another plus is that she totally accommodated me (in between clients) when I chipped my toe...see uber hard on my nails. No matter here though; because, my services were done well, and it is fairly priced. I will definitely be returning.

Today was my first time visiting this place. After reading the reviews, I knew I would need to…read moremake an appointment. Since slots fill up fast, I went ahead and booked for the rest of the year. I needed to find somewhere that was preferably black owned since the other place I found took entirely too long. The parking is very limited and the lot is kind of tight. There's a parking lot on the other side, so I parked there and walked the short distance over. The inside of the shop isn't very big. However, it wasn't crowded, so I think it wouldn't be a problem. Also I wasn't positive as to how to book nail designs, but Tenicia explained with no problem and now I know what to do when scheduling. Even with this, she was still able to accommodate me within my appointment time. I really appreciated that. I read a few reviews about Tenicia's attitude, but I didn't have an issue. She wasn't talkative, but I wasn't really looking for that. She came off as professional and cordial and that was perfectly acceptable in my book. I really enjoyed the service and the work was awesome. The work was fast, but high quality. After 10 long years, I think I found my spot. https://www.styleseat.com/teniciaingram?utm_campaign=email_profile_User

I have been here so many times and always have had a good experience. Just really nice people…read more Clean and lots of color choices but it's not overwhelming. Definitely recommend! I left feeling really good today. I haven't had my nails done in so long.

Yeaa I went here on a whim because I had a last minute event and unfortunately wasnt able to read…read morethe reviews . I asked for a pedi and eyebrow wax. 1 | They started off with the pedi and had the water SCORCHING, I spoke up 3x because my feet couldnt stay in the water longer than 5 secs. After the third time I literally was about to refuse the rest of the service. I get pedis A LOT and I noticed she skipped alot of steps (e.g cutical care, soaking of the feet) 2 | The cleanliness really stuck out to me - I saw they didnt use packaged sterilized pedicure utensils. Not saying they don't sterilize their equipment but the box didnt look too clean and the scrub brush I'm sickened to find that she used a dirty scrub brush on my feet. 3 | All the furniture looked second-hand and was REALLY WORN and very dusty. 3 | By this time I didnt even want to get my eyebrows done but unfortunately was in need so I did it. The room was tight and the paper on the table didnt look like it had been changed between people. I asked her to keep my eyebrows thick and just clean them up. Of course she DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE. She used no brush or anything and went straight in with HOT WAX on my face. And the end result was me absolutely HATING my eyebrows. 4 | I sat down to dry my feet for abt 20mins and proceeded to put my shoes on, the lady then came up to me and said if they mess up its because im suppose to let them dry for 2HRs . By this time, I was fed up and looking to leave so I went to pay just to be shocked by the price which I was confused to find out and couldn't question because they had their prices nowhere listed . I wont be back

Arriving into DC with both a wrecked manicure and Capitol Hill visits was not going to work for me…read more Divine Nail Spa was by far the closest to my hotel. They couldn't accommodate me on Sunday, but I came back on Monday and was helped by Roxy - who was patient with the sketchy state of my nails and very attentive to details. While the salon was a little crowded and a little dusty, I ended up with a darn good manicure to take me to Capitol Hill.

I absolutely love this nail salon. It's a vibe. These nails are amazing. They keep me together and…read morethey also work with my mom really well so it's like a family destination.

I visited this nail salon because my regular nail technician was out of town and I needed service…read more I had four nails that had lifted and required proper repair. The technician, a young Asian young lady who sat in the back on the right hand side, who assisted me displayed behavior that I found unprofessional, nonchalant, and dismissive. Having had my nails done for over 30 years, I am very familiar with how nails should be prepared, secured, and repaired, as well as the level of skill and sensitivity required when a client presents with discomfort or lifted nails. Unfortunately, her approach lacked the care, attentiveness, and professionalism I have consistently experienced elsewhere. As a result of the nails not being properly secured, they began lifting again within two weeks. I was concerned that my natural nails--of which I have all ten--might break due to the inadequate repair. Experiences like this can negatively impact a business that otherwise has the potential to be both successful and profitable. If I choose to return to this salon in the future, I will not allow this particular technician to work on my nails again.

I used to be a regular customer here, but now I won't be back ! Nancy is just flat out…read moredisrespectful ! thinks when she says offensive things out her mouth it's funny ! then if you tell them about themselves in the salon ... all the coworkers talk about the customers in (their) language! Me and my daughter both walked out the salon so unhappy ! I didn't tip anyone who gave us service and I don't suggest this business to anyone! Dont come here
