The first one was a regular facial with derma-planing, and my skin felt so smooth afterward. The second time, she recommended adding an imaging chemical peel, which was a game-changer! She also gave me super detailed home care instructions based on my skin, with multiple product options for each step.

She provided my service, but it seemed more like a chore. She kept saying things that made it seem like she was trying to get out of doing my wax. Weird. I also had my brows done by Jeanette. They came out okay, but the energy with her was off as well. She got some wax in my hair and asked IF SHE COULD CUT IT OFF!!!!! I informed her that oil removes the wax, she grudgingly obliged and indignantly said "it worked" once my hair was free from her error. I also miss Giselle at reception! She was so fab and made you feel like you were in Beverly Hills at an exclusive boutique. I haven't felt the same treatment from any other receptionist. ::sigh:: Sometimes good things go bad...and sometimes bad things seem good for a little while. Won't be back!

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of genuine care. You're not just another client; you're known, remembered, and looked after. What truly sets them apart is the creativity and knowledge that runs through the entire team. There's a real sense that they're constantly learning, evolving, and sharing ideas with one another -- you can feel that collaborative energy in the way they work. It's not just about doing hair, it's about understanding people, style, and what actually works in real life. Maria, my hairdresser, is a perfect example of that expertise. She really understands my hair type -- especially having thick hair -- and knows exactly how to shape and manage it so it looks great but is also easy for me to handle day-to-day. That balance between style and practicality is rare, and she gets it every time. It's the combination of talent, creativity, and genuine connection that makes this team stand out.

Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

I have never written a yelp review before, so consider this a big deal that I felt the need to write one for this establishment. I have never in my life experienced a manicure so terrible. I called yesterday to make my appointment for today. The lady told me "sure" and then rushed me off the phone without even asking my name for the appointment. I showed up this morning for my appointment. A woman came to do my nails, and lets just say I have never experienced someone working at the speed she did. She was clearly in a rush and I don't think she even really cut my cuticles and nail beds, which I had specifically asked she really cut because mine are dry and grow back quickly. Im not sure what to call the shape she filed my nails into either. The polish is sloppy, corners of my nails are missing polish, there are lumps in the painting, there is polish on my fingers, etc. I haven't dealt with such unprofessionalism and poor customer service in a really long time and for that reason alone, I wouldn't return to this nail salon if it were the last one standing. There are too many other great salons in the Bethesda area. read more

I just moved in the area and gave this salon a tried. The services was done quick and wonderful. All staffs are nice and friendly. They offered me beverages and personally walked me to the service stations. My deluxe pedicure was wonderful and the massage was well executed, not sloppy jobs like other salons I have encountered. I also got the gel manicure and it looks fantastic. They offered to correct any errors within two weeks if anything happen, I hope not, but so far so good. Nail Studio, you have earn a new client, please keep this up and don't change on what you have done for me. Parking is the only issue I have at this location. There are parking garages across the street and meter parkings around their building. I am just spoil from free parking all the time, well, Bethesda what can I say. I like their weekdays special, 15% off all services. read more

I have been attending Nail Studio since I first moved to Bethesda, roughly about two years ago. I instantly felt comfortable walking in as I noticed the cleanliness of their work space, and the employees that are always happy to great you. Nancy the owner is always working hard to make sure all clients are taken care of and given nothing but the best service from their expert team. Every service I have received at NailStudio has been nothing but perfect. I am so impressed with their services and I have referred many friends and family who all have been equally pleased. I will continue to go to NailStudio not only because of the staff I have grown to know but also because they never let me walk out looking anything but perfect!! read more

Just awful. The pedicure service took a total of 20 mins. This was not worth the $27 I paid for it. The massage was pathetic and the color on my nails looks like it's chipping, and I've only had the paint on it for about an hour. Not to mention I now have mysterious red bumps on my feet (maybe because of the dirty and faded pedicure towel that they used to wipe my feet). I get pedicures at least every 3 weeks and I usually go somewhere else but they were booked so I came here and I regret it enormously. Oh and added "bonus" was my nail technician... Who kept stopping my pedicure to text and check her phone. Will NEVER come back here again. Save your money. read more

The BEST nail salon in the area. I have tried a few in DC and nothing compares. My nails always look amazing and it lasts! I go often for regular manicures and it usually lasts a week and a half. They have a good nail polish selection but it could be better- my only complaint! Parking is easy in the evenings- there is a nearby street with free 2 hour parking but if you go in the morning or afternoon you will have to pay $2 for a metered spot for an hour. HIGHLY recommend! read more
