From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at ease. And just when you think it can't get any more lovely, they offer you tea, chocolate, or water because apparently being pampered should come with a little treat too. The customer service is exceptional, everyone is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about making your experience enjoyable. The quality of the work is outstanding, with incredible attention to detail and flawless results every time. You never feel rushed; instead, you leave feeling pampered, refreshed, and beautiful. If you're looking for a nail salon that combines aesthetics, professionalism, and top-tier service, I highly recommend this place!

This has been my go to spot for the past year. The quality of work in their team is consistently good. The ladies are really gentle with your hands and so detail oriented. My nails always come out looking SNATCHED. The salon itself is super cute and comfy, great for bringing your girls for a special occasion. I quite enjoy the hot stone massage and hand scrub that comes with each service as well. Highly recommend!

What I got
Angela H.

I've been here several times and the quality has been outstanding every time. Every nail tech has such high attention to detail and they're extremely efficient. On top of that their prices are very fair (and honestly on the lower end compared to some other places). The salon is clean and everyone is very sweet. I recently got a gel manicure with a lot of line work done by Sky, and let me tell you she didn't even make a mistake once!! All in all it took about 2 hours including old gel removal and it only came out to $78 before tip. I will continue to be a regular here and would recommend Nail&Wax to anyone!

OPI - "I Cannoli Wear OPI"

Been almost a year since I treated myself to a mani/pedi at a salon due to COVID. Last month I decided to try here & was pleasantly surprised and have since returned. Cleanliness: They take your temperature & ask you to sanitize/wash hands upon arrival. They wear masks & put up plastic separator/barriers at all stations. They use new tools & towels for every treatment. They seat you as far away from other people & it's never crowded, though when I called times were limited (they probably space out appointments). The salon is clean and bright, and they sanitize/wipe down each station as soon as a customer leaves. Service: The minute I arrived I was greeted with a friendly face. The workers are all sweet, kind, & respectful. They ask your preferences/approval at every step. They keep to themselves unless you're a talker then they'll engage lol. They take their time & work carefully. Their massages are the right amount of powerful. They offer bottled water & hot tea in to-go cups. They offer typical services - regular/gel/extensions/dip manis; variety of pedis (I got a regular pedi & it was superb), & waxing. They also offer nail extras like designs & ombré. Payment: You have the option to pay with cash (5% discount), card, or Venmo for contactless payment. They have happy hour specials & offer discounts on Groupon. They also have a rewards card. Their pricing is pretty comparable for the area, pre-discount. Simple, clean, great service & treatment - this may be my new go-to spot.

I purchased a Groupon for this nail salon since it was the closest nail Groupon near me, but boy, was I blown away! They run a really great business. First off, they have a good amount of parking and the area around the space is walkable. The salon is small, so it is easy to miss, but it was lit up bright at night when I went. Second, having an appointment made my gel mani and pedi a breeze. I arrived and they checked me in, including confirming my services, taking my temperature, and having me pick my colors. They have a nice variety of color options, including pretty gel glitter. My service was fast overall for both the manicure and pedicure, but the staff here also did a great job with their attention to detail. There were a bunch of extras as part of standard services. For example, they use hot stones during the manicures and pedicures. My nails looked perfect and I enjoyed the time relaxing. I also got a free cuticle product as I was heading out (love the extra gift!). This business also does a nice job with the protocol for COVID. Masks being required, temperature checks, plastic barriers, gloves, etc. Hoping to be back soon! Great deals for this salon on Groupon and during their happy hour promotion times.

Nails are perfect four days later!

Had a delightful experience treating my sister and myself to a gel manicure and spa pedicure. I purchased a Groupon (where they have really good reviews) so it was super affordable. I made an appointment the day before and they were really understanding about us being a few minutes late. The shop is really beautiful and I think they just opened in May 2020. The products they use are all top of the line (i.e. OPI) and the extras (chocolate, crackers, water, tea, coffee) they they offered were really a nice touch. I felt very safe with all of the precautions they took and they were clearly very clean. The best part was that they did our nails perfectly! Spent two hours getting a mani/pedi which is unheard of in the DMV, as it seems everywhere rushes. Amy and Ericka were our technicians and we will be going to see them again!

$140 "gel extensions

I want to start by saying that I previously left a five star review of Nail & Wax. I'm sorry to see the changes here. The last several times I went here it was not a great experience. They have a lot of inexperienced nail technicians working. You can see from the look on their faces there was a lot of confusion over very simple things. I would only go here if you're looking to have a very basic manicure or pedicure. I recently took my teenage daughter here for gel extensions (I wasn't sure what that meant, to be honest) but my daughter was very clear when she went in the shop what she wanted. She showed them several pictures and asked if they could do it. They looked at it for a minute or two and said yes they could for an extra $50 because it was an intricate design. My daughter suggested a simpler design if they weren't confident. Almost 3 hours later she came out really upset. Her nails did not look good. She was embarrassed and did not want to go back in because the technician had worked so long and hard, she didn't want to offend her. I sent two separate messages and called two separate times to ask to speak to the manager/business owner. I never heard back from anybody. I previously left a great review of Nail & Wax but because of this and other recent visits, I'm having to change it. My daughter spent $140 for the nails pictured below. My daughter had saved that money from her birthday so it was very upsetting to her. I took her the next day to Nails Lounge on Ffx Blvd to have it fixed. THEY DID A FABULOUS JOB.

Can't say enough good things about Salon Simis! Walid is incredibly talented at cuts and color and…read moreI leave feeling so pretty and fresh after getting my hair done. Everyone there is kind and so skilled at their craft.

I've been testing out new salons since moving here with the hope of finding one I really like that…read morealso doesn't break the bank, and had high hopes for this one based on the reviews. I only ever do simple cuts, nothing fancy. My haircut, done by Anderson (a level 3 stylist), is objectively good. The skill was there. But it's definitely shorter than I wanted it. Went in for a lob, came out with an asymmetrical bob...Honestly I was panicking while he was drying it because it was starting to look like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. I asked if he could style it like in the reference pictures I showed (simple waves, to reduce Farquaad-ness). He tried to do it with the brush/dryer, which obviously wasn't working, and didn't want to use a flatiron. So I just suffered through scalding heat on my scalp and hair pulling. I got told I don't have curly hair. I got told I don't have frizzy hair. I, in fact, have both of those. Some other minor things: 1. When I got home I had some hair that was noticeably longer than the rest, like it never got cut. So...I had to do it. Just a few strands, but normally stylists check for that when your hair is dry. 2. I almost never use heat on my hair, so I asked for recs and mentioned a specific brand doesn't work for me. He immediately said he loves that brand. I said yeah...but it doesn't work for me. Anything else? "Any salon brand." Cool. Not helpful. 3. Asked for something at the end to tame the pieces that were sticking out (again, I have frizzy hair). He looked...confused? Smoothing as a last step has been standard at every other place I've been to. There is nothing in the whole salon like that? Also, my introvert-self just wants to go somewhere where I don't have to be engaged in conversation the whole time. Anyway. Won't go back, my hunt continues.
