Great nail salon! Always great customer service. The level of care you receive depends on the technician. Some are much better than others. Usually busy so call to reserve an appointment or be prepared for a 15-20 min wait. read more

Ben was amazing! He was professional friendly and my pedicure felt and looked great!

I should've really took the yelp reviews into consideration! The guy that did my nails and eyebrows sucked to say the least! Nail Cons: *Rushed through my nails *clipped my cuticle 5 times *terrible paint job *filed after my nails were already done and messed up the already crappy paint job Eyebrow Cons: *he cut me with his fingernail *he put the wax on the top and bottom brow at the same time *i had wax stuck to my eye lid *He left so much for me to reverse when I get home THERE ARE NO PROS! DON'T GO! SAVE YOUR MONEY! WORSE PLACE EVER!! read more

This spot is next to my gym and I stop in when my feet are rough and screaming. Every single time I have visited, I've had a different person and I'm pleased to say that they offer a variety of services, offer a nice atmosphere that is clean and comfortable. The staff is attentive and will be quick to take good care of you. If you notice a problem or mistake, they don't seem to have a problem to correct it. If you get a mani pedi combo, I don't think the price is discounted, but don't quote me on that! I also like that OPI and Essie products are used. And like most Asian run salons they will ask to do your eyebrows and wax your mustache. Just remember, saying no is OK!!! ;-) read more

Hmm... You know what it is like when you are icing cupcakes and you got a good handle on things? You know you aren't perfect, but you got everything under control. Then your friend comes a long and volunteers to help you. You don't want the help, but you know you need it because you have 50 more cupcakes to ice. You say yeah... and then the friend, puts too much icing on them and ends up ruining the rest of the batch? I have a feeling that happens a lot here but instead of cupcakes, it is feet and hands and instead of a friend, it is someone's uncle who has seen their neice paint nails and then thinks they can do it too. I was able to make an appt. 30 minutes before my desired time for two pedis. When I go, I am always impressed by the decor, but the service is less than what I bargain for. I got the spa pedi, and I was thoroughly disappointed. They cut my nails a little too short and I was burned by the hot towel. I had to get cocoa butter to help my feet heal, and when I left my feet were rougher than they were when I went in. The services are very pricey for the quality of work. I would go a little bit further down the street in the shopping center with the Dunkin Donuts and go there instead. It is less expensive and better quality of work. Me and my friend spent 20 minutes fixing our feet and healing our legs afterwards. read more

I have been coming to the place for the past 10 years and maybe once or twice I have had a bad experience.. but today was it!! The lady who did my pedicure tried to add different options to my pedicure. Once I told I wanted a classic pedicure only she started to dig into my cuticles say they were gross. I actually asked her to repeat herself and she said my cuticles were gross.. I then pointed to Jamie (who did my pedi last time 2 weeks ago) and said he did my pedi... after they spoke in their language aggressively she started to cut my cuticles making it bleed.. she washed it off and said "see all gone" this place has really gone downhill... it's so sad because they used to be so friendly and nice.. oh well.. Anyone have any recommendations??? read more

Have been here a few timed but I don't think I will return after my last visit. The service was speedy, I did not have an appt. and was seen right away. The nail tech immediately began trying to sell me some lotion that she claimed was the best thing since sliced bread. Even after I kindly declined she continued to pressure me to purchase the product. After my pedicure, which was rushed and sloppily done, I noticed that the polish did not cover my entire pinky toe. By this time she was busy with another customer so I proceeded to fix the mishap myself. Customer service is not that great, prices are average for a neighborhood nail shop. read more

It's a really nice spa, but for as much as they charge, the service is not consistent. When I first started coming here, they offered beverages (wine, water, juice) and light snacks. I can't remember the last time this happened. Also, EVERYTIME i go here for a fill, at LEAST 1-2 nails pop completely off within 2 days. It's absolutely ridiculous for how much they charge. Last Saturday I spent $82 not including tip for a pedicure, fill and repair of FOUR nails, two of which have popped off repeatedly as mentioned above over my last 3 fills. Monday one of those same nails popped off AGAIN. No matter how much I complain. Another nail is crooked. The only reason I've gone back is because it's so close to my house. But again, for the price, the service and quality is not consistent. It is a very clean space and the staff is very pleasant. read more

New atmosphere this summer, Love it! Wine and mimosa's! Very relaxing. Quyen always does a great job, will definitely come back! read more

Nail Trix & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

This place is pretty spacious and they have a nice selection of gel polishes. But I was less than pleased about my service. First of all, they don't have the plastic nails pre-painted with the gel colors. So you have to look at the bottles and kind of guess how the color will look on your nails. For those who have seen bottles of gel nail polish, you realize that these bottles are opaque (unlike regular nail polish bottles, where you can see the color of the polish right through the bottle). So I picked a color that I hoped would look okay and only had to wait about ten minutes or so before a technician seated me at her station. While she was doing my manicure, a customer came in requesting a pedicure from my technician. Instead of making her wait until my manicure was done, she decided she wanted to service both of us at the same time. She would go to the pedicure and scrub her feet, then come back to me (without washing her hands) and work on my mani. UMM EWW! The thing that really upset me was that she had me under the UV light for 6 minutes drying and then wanted me to stay under another 2 minutes before she put on the topcoat. You guys KNOW that it only takes like a minute or two to dry under the UV light between coats. I was so annoyed that I got up and asked someone else to do my topcoat while my technician was busy with her other client at the pedicure station. This one experience was enough for me; I will not be returning. read more

Noticed the new nail shop while visiting my parents, and decided to give it a try. The decor is nice, I love how open it is. This would be a great place to bring a bridal party, there are tons of manicure/pedicure chairs placed in a circle in the middle of the place. I was taken right away even though I didn't have an appointment and it was 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon. The lady who did my mani/pedi was very thorough and did not rush. They had a ton of various "spa pedicures" to choose from, and I just got the basic. I couldn't find a thing for her to fix, and I'm very picky when I make the rare visit to a nail shop. She painted my nails while in the pedicure chair, which was odd at first, but was nice because by the time I moved my toes were probably dry. I also got my eyebrows done, and while the room was not the fanciest, the lady who did them did an awesome job, even on my wild brows. The prices were decent, not great, but decent. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again. read more

I have been coming here for years. I had good and not so good experiences with the technicians. I probably tried all of them because I normally do a walk in and don't schedule an appointment. I keep coming back because there are still good and reliable technicians I can count to do my nails and waxing. I really prefer May and Lucy. They seemed to have more experience and puts a lot of care on their work. They take their time and are both friendly. I come here in the morning or around noon and never had trouble waiting. If you want these girls. Make sure you book an appointment. They have free butter cookies, mint candy and hot tea to snack on while they do your nails. read more

I have just returned to Nail Trix and Spa because my stylist, Quyen, returned to this location. I was quite pleased to see that they are under new management and the salon is now extremely CLEAN!! They have installed new mani and pedi chairs -- so very comfortable. And the polish color selection is phenomenal! In addition, they offer free refreshments and drinks, including water, soda and WINE! I highly recommend Nail Trix and Spa. And Quyen is great! read more

Don't go. I was excited about this place being close to my gym and Safeway. I went today-- a weekday with only one other customer. All of the employees, including the owner, were sitting around doing nothing. I told them this was my first time. They couldn't be bothered to explain the pricing, process, massage chair or add ons. The technician did not really speak English, therefore, came across rude as she pushed me each time she wanted to change feet. This might not have been a problem had the receptionist explained the process and pricing. I ended up with a poor pedicure for $35, $12 more than I expected. When I questioned my bill, the owner was rude. I would shop around on Yelp the next time I want a pedicure. There are places very close by with much better ratings and likely less expense. I will not be going back, despite the convenient location. read more

They were kind enough to open the door even though the OPEN sign was shut. Service is fine I guess... depending on which technician you get. Reasonable price and huge location. I've only been there once but I'll be sure to go back since it's only 5 minutes away from home. read more

Yelp... we really need to be able to give zero stars! I feel like giving this place one star is false advertisement... Anywho... How could I have forgotten to do a review on this place??? Probably because I've been avoiding the pedicure PTSD they've given me. Technician literally sliced off top of my third toe last year. Blood gushing everywhere. I wouldn't let anyone in this place give my imaginary hamster a pedicure. You've been warned. read more

I walked in literally when they opened the doors at 9am there was 1 lady getting her nails done i said I wanted a mani/pedi the lady there said to wait 10-15 mins. I waited for 20 minutes for some other lady to tell me that she only had time for pedi because of appts. I was unaware of appts because they dont have a website it was my first time there. Not to mention I had my 1 year old daughter there and the lady doing nails said "she's really loud when she cries. Can you take her home and come back" Like seriously what the actual f***. Rude as people I will never go back there!! I do not recommend! read more

This place is awful. They need to put more work into their customer service and quality of service. I got gel nails done from here that chipped two days afterwards. I thought it was my fault and decided to give them another chance. They provide very low quality service and their price is on par with expensive salons. Both times I have been there, I always ask for an estimate if the wait time. The receptionist always answers with a, 'I'll check and get back to you.' Only for me to ask again 20 minutes later and hear a response saying it's a 30 minute wait. This would be fine if I had been told earlier. There are many things they can do better. read more

I have been coming to this place for almost 3 years and recently they've up'd their prices for no reason what so ever. At my last visit, the man who did my nails was horrible. My nails were fine but he started talking about me because I didn't want to pay $5 extra for a shape I wanted. Mind you, I always get this shape and have never been charged extra, so I told him I would just get regular square. Him and his coworker were taking in their language about me and his coworker literally looked dead at me and they started to laugh. This will be the last time I ever set foot in this salon. I wish I could give 0 stars. read more

I have been visiting this salon since I moved into the area 4 years ago. My visits have always been great. Today I came in for a mani/pedi and noticed they changed their pedicure chairs. The massage device is on but does not seem to work and the new chairs do not move up. If you a short like me you will now have to slide yourself forward so they can work on your feet. They have not restocked their nail colors in quite some time. Every color I picked had no nail polish in it. Why is it still on the self?? I have not even gotten to my manicure yet and am already very dissatisfied with the service. I started with 2 stars but once i was told that the nail color I chose had no polish it in, I've turned it to one. While writing this, I have decided not to give them any more money by getting a manicure. After 4 years I will have to find a new nail salon. read more

The service was terrible I brought my Neice in here to get her first pedicure they talked very bad about my Neice she only 13 she felt so uncomfortable that she cried when we left there. I paid $107.09 for two pedicure and they talked very bad about my Neice in there language I even gave them too tips Lucy (Thu Nga Duong) and TAMM Thann Dang. I will never in my life come back here again. The manager don't care this place terrible the worst y'all lost my business read more

I had a wonderful experience at this nail salon yesterday. I looked through the previous reviews and requested one of the highly recommended nail techs. We connected immediately, as she is a Christian. She was very patient and did a thorough and beautiful job on my nails. In addition, she did my eyebrows and they turned out just as lovely. I'm glad I had a positive experience here, and will return! read more

Trix is right . Will never come back here. Epic waste of money. Foot massage was 35 seconds at best.

I paid $120 for full set gel & regular gel pedicure ... in the beginning of the next week one nail popped off... toward the weekend two other nails popped off!! THREE nails came off ‍ I'm not going back read more

My friend took me here for my birthday for me to get gel mani's and my friend to get her old acrylics off. They started off being extremely rude. When it came time for me to get my gel nails, they started filing my natural nails down! Most nail salons have never done this before and I didn't understand why they were doing this because I knew it was not necessary. They filed my nails so far down that it hurt! Then they started doing the actual gel and she started with TWO base layers, went to THREE coats of white gel, ONE top coat, TWO more layers of white, and TWO more coats of top coat. My nail was extremely thick. Also, mid way through that process she didn't give my hand enough time in the LED light so when she started doing another coat it started smudging and she yelled at me and told me it was my fault. But there was so much gel that it wasn't curing properly. In the meantime my friend was getting her old acrylics off and the man doing her nails did not give them enough time to soak (only let them soak for about two minutes) and then pulled out nail clippers and started CUTTING THEM OFF. Her nails were LITERALLY flying across the room (not exaggerating at all). She turned around and started giving me a face that she was in pain. Also, her acrylics were made from fake tips so they were very curved so it hurt her even more when he used a flat nail clipper to cut them off. He also cut off her natural nail that was underneath. He also used one of her fake nails to shove it under her other ones and pop them off. Near the end of the visit while I was still getting my nails done, the man asked if she (my friend) was ready to pay. My friend said yes and he asked her $30? (That was the original price, I think) and she said yes and he gave her a rude look. (She was going to tip in cash, anyways).We didn't realize that you have to tell them how much you're tipping because he didn't hint to that at all. In the end, it was a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE experience. Please don't ever go here. read more

My daughter worked there briefly as a receptionist, where both employees and customers cursed at her. Then they had the nerve to act like they didn't remember her working there and were trying to get out of paying her. I informed the owner that I would put them on blast on my Facebook page with millions of fans and suddenly, they remembered her, had her hours tracked and paid her. That is ridiculous. read more

I've been to a few different people in this salon and Quyen is by far the best I've experienced. I am extremely picky when it comes to my nails. Quyen did such a great job last time that I waited for her to become available to get my nails done the second time around. If you want to book her, call ahead. This SNS Dip powder looks great on my nails. Thanks! read more

First time getting my nails done and will NEVER return! She did a horrible job and when I went back a day later to get my nail fixed that was chipping, the receptionist tried to tell me nobody had time until tomorrow. I had to enforce the fact that I was not leaving with having my nail fixed because it should not look like that after a day! All of them really needed to be fixed but it was not worth wasting anymore of my time with them. There are way too many options in the area and coming here for convenience that day was a bad decision since now I wasted more time coming back. Horrible horrible place! read more

What the what ...? I'm so frustrated with Nail Trix today. They charged me $45 for this mess. I don't mind paying but I want the end product to look as if it is worth my money and time. They filed these 3 nails on a slant! Not everyone should do nails. Won't be going back. read more

Nail Trix may be clean and spacious, but NEVER AGAIN will I spend my money in a place where the employees are just disgustingly rude. Everything was going well when my friend and I began to receive our service, but went bad as the services were being completed. First, I called to verify the cost of a mani-pedi. I was told $38. Ok, no problem. My friend and I arrived at the salon, which was empty - there were only two other customers being serviced - around 6:30pm. The salon closes at 8. When I arrived, I told the woman at the counter that I had a gel set that I wanted to have taken off. She never mentioned a fee for removing the gel set and I was unaware of the fee. I was still under the impression that the cost of my service would be $38, since I never thought that using acetone, cotton and foil, would cost an extra $10. My bad! Now onto what turned what I once believed to be a decent nail salon into a "screw this, let me get up out of here before I lose my cool" situation. My friend requested that her technician add an additional clear coat to her nails because she wanted the mani to last longer. The technician told/argued with her that if she added an additional coat that the polish would appear "too thick."' As her polish began to dry, it started to set poorly, so my friend requested the technician to fix it. Mind you, my friend sat still the entire time to ensure that the polish dried smoothly, but once she noticed that it was not, she immediately notified her technician. This tech, the same one who told her that adding another coat of clear nail polish would make the polish look "too thick" began to apply another layer of the color polish. My friend told the technician (politely) to remove the original coats and to repolish her nail. By this point, her technician began to get an attitude, but no big deal - I ignored her, even though my friend was a little ticked off. Again, the polish began to dry poorly and my friend once again asked the technician to repair the polish; however, this time, the technician acted as if she no longer understood or spoke English and ignored my friend. Even though I didn't really care for how my technician Steve, did my pedi, I figured since I learned his name and he responded to my questions without any language barrier issues that he could repair my friend's nail since he just finished my mani. Besides, unlike my friend's technician who began working on another customer, Steve sat down in one of the massage chairs to use his laptop. When I asked him to come over, my friend's technician who was still working on her new customer began talking to him in their native tongue and Steve ignored me. Mind you, the other tech had not spoken to or made any motion for Steve to come to her before I asked him to come over to me. I figured maybe the other tech was explaining the situation to him so it was no big deal, but then he walked to the front desk without responding to me. When he returned and I asked if he could repair my friend's nail, don't you know, Steve all of a sudden couldn't speak English anymore either?!?! That's when I got my stuff and went to pay to get out of this salon, only to be met with an extra $10 charge to remove the gel nail polish. Ain't this about a b$%#*?! I'm not a difficult customer, but what I do know is that the moment I feel as though I am receiving poor customer service is the same moment I determine that my money is not wanted and that it will no longer be spent in an establishment that treats its customers poorly. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

There is really only one nail tech in this salon that is actually professional. I usually check reviews before trying a new salon but was going with my friend as a nail date the last two visit. First visit very minor issues. One smudge on my nail- wasn't the end of the world for me. I'm really not that hard to please. The lady doing my pedicure at the time said their was no beverages however, another nail tech offered me wine, soda, or water. You would think that was enough for me. But- I returned. Saw the same nail tech today who not only was rude but talked to her neighbor the entire time. Surely, about everything and everyone in their native language. One thing for certain- when I go to a salon of any kind I want professional and peace! Allow the customer to relax! I I'm honestly felt like I was in the hood. Not only did the nail tech Hon mess up my nails twice by touching them to see if the SNS was dry but she acted as if it were my fault until I said "I see you touched my nails before it was dry." To correct them she then had to file the top layer and reapply the clear coat. Hon vigorously used a buff and drill to remove the top coat leaving 4 cuticles to bleed!!!! Yes- bleed! She ignored it and moved along; Walked me to the drying station and took her next client. I later asked Quyen- that one professional nail tech in the entire shop to apply something to stop the bleeding. Now several hours later my hands are still very sore and now bruised. I will NEVER RETURN TO THIS UNPROFESSIONAL AND CLASSLESS SHOP! They offered a $7 discount but it's never about the money. You broke skin for goodness sake!!! I want to also mention the beauty at the front desk (African-American female) was amazing! She was pleasant, extremely professional, and apologetic for the care I received at the shop. It's a shame her talents are being over absorbed and probably overlooked at this shop. read more

I have been to this Nail Trix before to get pedicures during the summer and I am usually pretty happy. I went here on a whim to get a fill-in a few weeks ago and the results were horrible. The tech broke 2 of my nails and then charged me for the repair! A week later my acrylic was coming up and one nail cracked. My advice stick to the pedicures!! read more

So this is close to my neighborhood but I would strongly recommend you not go here unless: 1. You like to lose blood while receiving a mani pedi. 2. Are ok with your nails being in worse shape when you leave than when came. 3. If you understand enough Vietnamese I am sure you will see why. 4. Disrespectful is cool with you from anyone. 5. Lack of desire for you to return is what you expect from their service be my guess. My experience their was way less than desirable I would rather patronize outside my community. read more

Please do not go here! Please do not go! This by far is the worst nail establishment eve! The are very rude and the nail job is terrible. Also, if you want to call and make a complaint the phone number is to Direct TV! Worse nail techs ever. They do not know how to polish. I don not know why they are still in business. Three need to go! Stay away! read more

This is the worst nail place I have been to! I wanted to try a new nail salon close to my house. I decided to come in on a Friday evening around 6 since my gym is right next door. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a very nice lady at the front. She was the only person who was pleasant in this place. She asked me to pick my color since I was getting a gel manicure. First, their polish selection is VERY limited. I was almost forced to pick a color that I didn't like due to the lack of polish. I was seated with a girl named Vivian who didn't even bother to say hello to me. I went ahead and said hi. She rushed through my manicure as if there was a line of people waiting. She was horrible! I got my manicure on Friday and the gel is now peeling off on Monday. I will never go back! I do not care how close it is. Please listen to the reviews on here. read more
