    My dip powder and fresh nails.
    Dea M.

    I was in DC for a business trip and desperately needed my nails done! I called and got a same day appointment with Vivian and she was amazing! The salon isn't huge but it wasn't crowded. My nails are still going strong almost 4 weeks later! Will definitely be back.

    Since moving to DC in 2019, I had never had a regular nail salon or nail tech. Everything changed when I moved to the neighborhood. I cannot recommend Vivian enough! I get dip manicures with her that last 6 weeks and could go longer. Her shaping is impeccable. Salon is clean and well organized. Everyone is friendly! I would call and make an appointment ahead of time.

    Great pricing and excellent service! The staff was friendly and engaging but didn't overdo it, which I appreciated. The aesthetics were on point--clean, comfortable, and well-organized with everything you'd need. This is officially the only place I'll recommend in Dupont from now on! Just a heads-up: be mindful the color pairing with gel colors and dip colors as they don't always match.

    I'm glad to find a salon that knows how to do real dip powder nails. On both of my visits, my nails were finished within 40 minutes and my appointment started on time. The nail technician did a great job on my nails and I did not have to place my hands under the damaging UV lights. The location is a 5-minute walk from the Dupont Metro, which is very convenient. You can email or call to make an appointment; however, the option to book online would make the process even smoother. I was offered tea or filtered water during my visits; however, I would have preferred a small bottle of water to keep it covered when others were coughing in the salon. I'm looking forward to returning on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday when the salon offers a $5 discount on dip powder, pedicures, and gel manicures.

    The best manicure I have gotten in DC! The staff at Nails by District are so welcoming and allow you to truly relax during their services. Very clean and hygienic work stations. Each manicurist takes their time to ensure you are satisfied with the color, shape, and polish type. They never fail to impress me! Be sure to come in on the weekdays for the happy hour nail deals. My new favorite nail spot in the district :)

    Thao was great. Clean cuticles, great dip application. Atmosphere of the salon was clean and good energy. Would return for another set!

    Love Nails by District! They do awesome dip powder nails and the staff is all lovely. My manicures never chip and I can go 3-4 weeks before I have to come back. They're also great at helping me choose a color when I bring in a photo for inspiration. I highly recommend this salon!

    Poorly "fixed" nail, after breaking just two days after getting them done.

    Had a nail break just two days after they were done here, nothing crazy on my part. Pictured is the "fixed" nail they charged me even more $$$ for, crooked with a giant bubble. Nail tech acted like nothing was wrong with it. A friend said the same thing had happened to her, but her nail was fixed for no additional charge, so I'm not sure what the deciding factor was there. Poor customer service.

    Highly recommend pedicure services from here!…read more While I was out taking care of errands, I looked up on yelp some nearby nail shops, in hopes of getting a serious spa pedicure, and that's when I came across the incredibly high reviews of Famous Nails Spa. I called them to see if I can come in the next 10 mins for a pedicure, and they took me without issue. I was warmly welcomed when I walked in and asked to sign in, and then I walked back to the pedicure chairs. My nail techinician, who didn't introduce herself and was not particularly warm towards me, greeted me and got down to business. Now-I warned her that my feet were in a rough condition, so I didn't mind her being all business because these toes needed THE business. The pedicure service was fantastic!! my feet were scrubbed and rubbed, my toes nails cut and shaped, and my polish was summertime ready. My nail technician offered me water towards the end of my service, which I graciously accepted, however I noticed most people were offered a beverage at the beginning of their service. The spa is relatively cozy in size and efficient, no frills or luxury, but everything was tidy, and my pedicure was done amazingly, and completed in a bit over an hour. I checked out efficiently and was given a somewhat short and dry good bye..hahahaha. But honestly, their service speaks for itself. I definitely would visit here again, and beware of the limited street parking.. prices are reasonable too!

    Famous Nails Spa is the best! I've been going here for over two and a half years and have loved it…read moreevery time! Angel is amazing and gives me the most beautiful nail art! I highly recommend coming here, the whole staff are lovely!
