    This place has been my go to nail salon for years. The staff is amazing and nice. Always making sure I am comfortable with the services they provide. I just recently got a gel service for the first time here and it was the best decision I have made. Kathy my technician was so detail oriented making sure my first time getting gel nail was the best experience. I loved ny new nails!

    This place has been my nail salon for gel for a couple years now. The place always have quality work with cheap prices. My nail never chips and lasts three weeks. This year I have been doing Acrylic with Bill and I have a great visit all the time.

    In love with my nail shape and color! Thank you Kathy

    First time to this nail salon and I'm so glad I came! I got a mani and pedi and I absolutely loved the customer service and my nails!!! ( I accidentally messed up my nail polish to which Kathy was more than happy to fix.) Thank you!! I'll definitely be coming

    $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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Everyone is great there! Everyone is so sweet & makes you feel so welcomed. Very clean & love that wax that is part of the manicures & pedicures. I usually work with Hellen & Lisa. They take their time in their works.

    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!

    Got acrylics in put in neutral. Completely missed the top and sides, had bubbles, no paraffin wax.

    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.

    Good nails and good service people who work their are very nice.The colors for the nails are very pretty

    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

    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 :(

    This is how my nails should always look!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vogue Nail at the Oakton Shopping Center. I've been…read morecoming here for many years, and the experience has always been consistently excellent -- professional, relaxing, and welcoming. Linda, in particular, is absolutely superb. Her work is meticulous, beautiful, and long-lasting. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and truly cares about her clients. Every visit feels personalized, and I always leave feeling pampered and happy with the results. The entire staff is friendly and professional, the salon is clean and comfortable, and customer service is clearly their top priority. It's rare to find a place that combines skill, warmth, and reliability the way Vogue Nail does. If you're looking for a nail salon where you're treated like a valued regular -- not just another appointment -- this is the place. Highly, highly recommend Vogue Nail and especially Linda!

    Love this place. Been going to Vogue since March 2024 and it's my favorite place to get nails…read moredone. I was seeing Emma, but she has since moved - so I now see Jimmy. He is fantastic and takes his time to make your nails exactly like you want them. The salon is very clean and everyone is incredibly friendly. Prices are good and I love that you can book appointments online.
