Salon was organized and I appreciate the one person at time visit! The tech Bernadette was quite knowledgeable and shared her knowledge during the visit.

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.

Hands down the best nail artist in the DMV and Baltimore area. Cocoahippie herself is an amazing…read moreartist and is so clean. She really cares about the health of your nails too, unlike most nail salons who will damage your natural nails just to get paid. She has so many colors and supplies and is a true artist! I've been getting my nails done by her for about 2 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience. The shop is clean and private and she's so professional. Seriously, go here!!!!

I'm currently growing out my nails, so I requested he keep the length while shaping and filing. He nailed it (pun intended)! The results were exactly what I wanted. I love my nails and highly recommend this salon! + my best friend also loved her pedicure + sanai, the receptionist (sorry if I spelled it wrong) helped me pick out my color and was really friendly

I've been through a few nail techs here since their opening in 2020 but each young lady has been…read moreamazing. My current nail artist, Alex, is an entire vibe. I've been seeing her exclusively all year and she never ever disappoints. I give her a color or theme, and I allow her freedom to do whatever she wants because she's an artist! I get compliments every time I get a new set. The staff is generally friendly and welcoming. Sometimes there are customers who are loud (rare) so it would be nice to see them get checked (maybe a policy to limit use of personal devices while being service would help?) because one person can throw the entire vibe off. Otherwise, I love it here. I'm going to be adding more of their spa services in 2024 (facials, brows). Black owned and killing it!

This is, by far, the most amazing nail experience I've ever had. I was worried that I wouldn't be…read moreable to get in because I had such a difficult time getting an appointment due to random, universal issues (appointments being a couple weeks out, me ordering the wrong service and having to postpone). I started to give up; however, I am so glad I didn't because that level of exclusivity is exactly what you want during a full on pandemic. Let me explain. Appointments are selectively scheduled to ensure there are no more than a few people in the salon at once. When you arrive to get nails done, it's quite possible that you may have a room to yourself :) and everything from the client services to the ambiance is exceptional. COVID practices: when you arrive (appointments only), they open the door for you, check your temperature, ask you to sanitize your hands, and give you a sanitizing wipe your clean your phone (as you'll be touching it often). They offer you a bottle of water or a glass of champagne, wine, or mimosa. Yasssss! Now, you will immediately be taken into another, fun, light, vacation-like experience by the detailed decór. It's so beautiful the way the owners put so much love and attention into curating each part of your experience. You feel like this moment was crafted JUST for you. The nail specialist that I worked with, Kyra (pronounces KI-Ra) was full of light, love, energy, and offered therapeutic vibes. She really took her time to get to know me and understand more than what I wanted for nails, but how my nail journey complimented my life. I felt a true caring about who I was as a person. Although we take lightly our cosmetic experiences, they are actually a firm of therapy and self-care. Thank you Kyra. I must say, I will certainly be back and will recommend everyone to this elite salon. Even when I move from this area, I will be back!!!
