Danny is my go to guy for a pedi and Kathy is my go to for a mani and brow. It's a must visit. I'm not getting anything out of this review. I just want them to get all the credit they deserve! Thank you for all the hard work you put in to make me feel pretty! read more

I use this place on and off since 2011. I used it a lot back in 2011-2015 while I was living in that area and was always pretty happy with the service and pricing. I kept going back especially for pedicures because they did the best massages and all other good things were included at very reasonable price. Then we went there in 2022 and 2023 they had different owner for a while and services/pricing have changed but they still did decent job. I don't know how the things are now, but it is one of the rare places I will go back given a chance. read more

$27 for a gel mani or $48 for a gel mani and regular pedi combo WITH complimentary paraffin with your service? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. Thanks to a recommendation from my BFF Justine S, I've gone to MC Nails twice so far and I've been impressed with the service and the quality of my nails, especially for the price! They have a wide selection of OPI Gel polishes (my favorite) in addition to other brands. The pedi includes a massage, scrub, paraffin, AND hot towel (and is only $23 by itself!). The service is efficient -- the nail techs keep to themselves and the side conversations are minimal. You can leave tip on credit card, but they prefer cash. The shop itself is located in the shopping center next to the Lotte in Fairfax. They even have a few designated marked spots right specifically for the nail salon right in the front, but parking has never been an issue for me. I had a pleasant experience here during both of my visits and will be coming back again! read more

This place has the best prices in town! I've been coming here for a couple years now, as I attend the local university. The color selection is pretty basic if you're not getting gel polish, so that's my only complaint. However, I always get either acrylic nails or a gel pedicure and they do a fantastic job. The nail techs are detail oriented, but they work quickly so you don't have to sit in the salon all day. I usually call to make an appointment a few hours prior just to be sure they can get me in and they always can! The photo I posted is by a nail technician named Bill, who is very friendly. He also made sure my nails were dry before I left and explained to me that the top of the polish is dry, but underneath is still soft. I asked him to shape my nails into coffin, and he kindly informed me that it's an additional $5. read more

Was lured in here for a pedi & acrylics by the prices. Last time I paid over $120 for the same in Arlington, and this time came to $70, so felt like an easy decision. Their nail color selection is mediocre at best. I ended up picking two colors I was pretty much indifferent towards, since I'd already been scrutinizing each color for any I actively liked for at least ten minutes. My pedicure was fine, but I'm not too thrilled with my nails. He cut the acrylics on my thumbs way too short in comparison to my other fingers, which devastates my OCD. Another nail is noticeably sideways and uneven, and the polish overall just looks gloppy. So yes, the prices are in fact too good to be true (I decided to risk it in spite of some of the negative reviews about sloppiness and hope for the best.) This place is fine for a pedicure, but if you care at all about attention to detail, I wouldn't recommend for nails. Update: nails are already turning yellow one day later from their old/defective acrylic product. I might as well have just set my money on fire and saved myself the time I wasted sitting there. read more

I have been coming to MC Nails for about 3 years and I LOVE THEM. Their prices are GREAT, I honestly haven't found anyone else who does a gel manicure for $27. The quality is unbeatable, I always come back for the quality. I have never had a bad experience with MC! They have really great pedicures too, I noticed that they do a much better foot massage than most places. The paint job for pedicures is pretty good too, I even came back on the same day because of smudges I found- and they happily redid those toes! They also do a free paraffin wax, which was surprising for my first time, but who doesn't love that! The place is pretty hygienic and clean, which is always a plus. I don't really recommend eyebrow waxing just because I prefer to have mine threaded (I go somewhere else for my brows.) Service is usually great, I would recommend the older guy that works there- I think his name is Phil. Overall: great prices, great quality!! read more

I came here for a gel mani and a pedicure on a weekday afternoon prior to my husband and I leaving the country on vacation. Pros: reasonable price, walk-ins welcome, nice selection of colors, allowed to pay with a credit card Cons: as shown by my picture, the technician took far too much of my dead skin off and caused the skin around my fingernail to bleed. The picture was taken after coming home and cleaning the area with alcohol and applying neosporin. As you can imagine, my nail looked far worse when I left the establishment. The individual did give me $10 off for screwing up my skin, which I appreciated, but I would've much preferred to have my skin not bleed and be short another $10. Ultimately, you get what you pay for here...patron beware! read more

I went to get my nails done here yesterday at 12pm for prom. I assume this is not an extremely busy time for the store. Since I'm a chronic nail biter I wanted to get acrylics. I saw another review from the same store with a picture of the nails I wanted and showed it to the man who did my acrylics. The man seemed to have a bad attitude and rushed the whole acrylics process while constantly looking at the door. He pushed my cuticles back pretty roughly and I already hated pushing my cuticles back so his method made it even worse for me. He also sanded in a way that kind of hurt and made me feel uncomfortable throughout the whole process. When my acrylics were done, I was handed over to a lady who did my polish really quickly and completely missed the top and the sides. There were also bubbles in the polish but she didn't fix it. I also wasn't aware that almond shaped nails would be an additional $5 charge and I did not get the paraffin wax that the other reviewers enthusiastically mentioned. read more

Great experience at MC nails! The woman who did my nails was very friendly and helped me pick out a color. She was EXTREMELY detail-oriented and made sure things were perfect before moving onto a next step. I always think you can judge a beautician by the edges she/he does on nails and she did a 10/10 job! She also asked if I wanted to paint a third coat on my nails or if I wanted to leave it at two. As per the other reviews, paraffin treatment is complimentary which is definitely a plus! I can already feel like this gel manicure is going to last me a long time! Definitely going to make this my regular nail joint read more

HORRIBLE! BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! I got my manicure and pedicure done at this place yesterday and I could not regret more! The lady who did my nails could not make it straight, I had to get the nail file and do it myself. When I asked her to re do two nails she couldn't understand me at all. Huge disappointed, feel like it's money wasted. Could have done it better myself at home, was expecting a professional level look. These nails were for a family wedding :( read more

Omg I can't say enough! Finally an affordable nail salon that does quality work. Bill did an amazing job and his technique was quick and efficient. Very detailed and attentive.

MC Nails - This is how my nails should always look! - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

To be perfectly honest, my first time experience here was the absolute worst. Finding out my go-to nail technician in Falls Church was off for the day, I Yelp'd for another nearby salon and stumbled across MC Nails. Seeing it had great reviews and was only a few minutes away, I called ahead around 5PM and they said they could take me at 5:30. Great! Upon my arrival, a gentleman (if only I had gotten his name) attended to me and started working on my gel manicure ($27). It was going well, until I pointed out that he had missed a few spots when removing my old gel (which would have made my new mani bumpy/uneven). He took care of that and carried on. It wasn't until the very end of the manicure was when he became frustrated. I asked for a crystal or "diamond" to be placed on my ring fingers. He had thought I meant to apply a glitter top coat. When he finally realized what I meant, he placed the crystal upside down! In other words, the back was on top. Then he proceeded to apply a regular top coat as opposed to a gel one, which would make the crystal fall off. So when I pointed it out in a rather calm manner, he completely lost it and just walked away uttering words in Vietnamese. A lady came over and apologized and re-did the finishing touches and took care of me the rest of the way. I honestly would have never came back if it wasn't for the lady that was so pleasant and sweet. On top of that, aside from having my nails grown out, my mani was still ON POINT even after a FULL 3 WEEKS. They also have a wide assortment of OPI gel colors. And they include a free paraffin wax treatment at the end of the gel manicure (I'm sure with the pedicures as well). Let's be real all that for a total of $27? Amazing! The service is pretty fast and they are not very chatty which I am perfectly OK with. Mind you, it's not the fanciest place, but they get the job done. Maybe the aforementioned homeboy was having an off-day, so I decided to give them another chance. Luckily this time I experienced no problems and left happily with my nails on FLEEK. read more

I stopped here on a whim since my nails had seen better days. The reviews varied on Yelp but I said screw it and I am glad I did. I got a basic manicure for $13. That is super cheap in this area! The manicure looked like it was a gel manicure per the picture I sent to my friend who lives in Canada. The manicure was done quickly and lasted about a week and half. For me that is amazing since I am the person who walks out and gets my nails ruined almost immediately Bonus is a complimentary paffarin wax treatment. read more

MC Nails - Perfection. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My first time here, close to my house so I tried it out. First impression was its dirty, unorganized and not loved (clear that they don't regularly clean or organize, picture up front lop-sided, hand sanitizer bottle was gross, water/sanitizer marks on everything...etc). They did not check temp, did not ask me about symptoms, did not require my hands to be washed or sanitized. Had a pedicure, no options were given... she just started doing her thing (I would have paid $45 for a spa pedicure but she didn't present any options). She never spoke to me at all, chatted with her coworker the entire time, stopping her work several times to make eye contact and chat with her coworker. Her 5 min massage was so rough I had to pull away. She put me under the light to dry where I sat for 15 minutes while she chatted it up In the back with her coworker some more. I became so irritated that she wasn't coming to check if I was dry I just got myself up and asked her if she wanted to come check me out. She then asked me if I could tip in cash. My nails look pretty good actually! Nothing terrible to say about the outcome of the quality of work. If you don't care about customer service, cleanliness or attention to pandemic requirements than this is your spot. read more

You definitely get what you pay for. The tech who did my nails rushed the whole process and skipped on pushing my cuticles back which resulted in my manicure looking weeks older than it really is. I will never go back. I paid 33 dollars for my acrylic set and they didn't put any oils to my cuticles, nor did they massage my hands with any lotions, NOTHING. I could've went to another nail salon and paid 2 dollars more but ended up with a much better experience where they really took care of me. Not only that, but the techs are very rude and they're all about money, they don't actually care about the customer. read more

I had the best mani-pedi everrrr! My nails were PERFECT, and the parrafin wax, massages, & hot towel were just icing on the cake!! I've paid a lot more in more expensive salons & they don't even come close to how amazing this place is... the attention to detail, patience, listens to your requests, clean, and sitting in a massaging chair!!! Wow!! Will be a client here for life!! Update from 11/2019, unfortunately service has gone down. They changed the price after quoting me a price and she said, "I asked too many questions & confused her", all I asked was the price of full tips with gel French manicure, then she asked me about the shapes of my nails which I then responded to... I don't think that's too many questions. Secondly my nails from my left hand are a different size from my nails on my right hand. And 3rd, as I was sitting there getting my nails done, there was an insect crawling around on the table that the man doing my nails wiped off of the table onto the floor (then continued touching my hands without cleaning his hands ) therefore the rest of the time I was looking around to see if it was going to be near my feet or crawling onto a bag I had set next to me on the floor! So yes it is a little bit cheaper than other places, maybe $10 cheaper but in my opinion I'd rather pay more for better service and a clean spa to relax in. Sad its not the same as before. read more

Incredibly impressed with this nail salon and prices. This is the place to go for a pedicure if you happen to be near Fairfax! Pedicures start at $23...but for $38, I had an incredibly luxurious 60-min pedicure that included a sea-salt scrub, many rounds of hot towels, paraffin wax, and obviously a relaxing massage chair. I had a male doing my nails, which I typically fear because it can either hurt/tickle or just be poor quality...but this guy was excellent!!! The only thing to watch out for is that they didn't ask which pedicure I wanted and automatically opted me in for the most expensive (which is only $38). I'm honestly glad they did, but some people may be annoyed. read more

My friend and I went to MC Nails and let the nail technicians know we would like an ombre nail design and if it was doable. They promptly said it was no problem!  My nails ended up just fine (I had a gentleman nail technician)... but my friend ended up walking out with something that looked like a french tip gone wrong!! Her nails arent smooth, the white-pink isn't ombred as promised and the color is crooked! If the description doesn't do justice - see photos. read more

I decided to get acrylics for the first time just to see what it was like as I normally get gel. They did a good job, was careful, and constantly asked if I liked the nail shape and all. I then got a gel layer over the acrylics. Also, the price here is cheap compared to some of the places I went to in the past. It was $25 for me to get a new set of acrylics. The reason I took off one star was just because normally when I go to any nail salon, they would give me a lotion of some sort, buff my hands, and do a little massage for my hands and forearms but they didn't do that here, for me at least, as my manicurist sped up at the end because another girl came in for a mani pedi and was waiting for him. (Also to add though, it almost took him an hour to do my nails because of the acrylics.) This was a bit important to me because I'm an avid heavy weightlifter and I constantly use chalk on my hands and it dries out my hands so I pretty much have dry man hands until I get my nails done... He also didn't do my cuticles (I had to push them down) or tend to the peeling skin on the side of my nails. But other than that, acrylics and nails, awesome. But my hands.... I'll give them another shot next time. read more

MC Nails - Nails did - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

You get what you pay for...I've been going here for years, and have never walked away with a mani or pedi that made me go WOW! But, then again, I've never spent more than $50 here. For the most part, the nail technicians look like they would rather not be there (which I understand). This, unfortunately, leads to carelessness (skipping or skimping on pedicure steps, not disinfecting tools properly, missing a spot when painting, etc). That said, they are usually very capable. I've gotten my eyebrows, acrylic nails, regular mani and regular pedi done here and have always walked away feeling pretty satisfied. I wouldn't recommend MC Nails for an upcoming wedding or special event where your nails need to shine, but it's certainly suitable for a quick touch up or maintenance work. PRO-TIP: The manicure includes a hot wax portion that may be uncomfortable for some. Also, they use a dead skin scraper on your feet that I skip sometimes because it's quite aggressive. read more

I have been living in South Florida for almost three years and I haven't gotten a mani as good as this. I was very tired, so thankfully there wasn't much chatter, but the gentleman doing my nails was meticulous and had great attention to detail without filing my nails down to nothing or trying to upsell any products or services. I came in for an appt I made for 530pm, I had acrylic nails that were filed and soaked off, I got the Artist Select gel in "Love", received the greatest upper arm and hand massage, and added a paraffin wax treatment at the end. At $37 I was very pleased! Definitely coming back - it helps they're 5 mins from my hotel! :D read more

I love coming here to get my nails done! First of all, the prices are impeccable. Second of all, almost every nail tech here is a perfectionist, so they make sure every nail is up to par. They're always double checking their work and their wax masks are to die for. Victor is my favorite! He just removed a sculpture acrylic set from my nails and finessed my natural nails beautifully! He doesn't rush through the process, and is very detail oriented. read more
