I'm not even an hour post appointment and could not wait to let the world know how much I love this place already! First, I want to send a big shout out to my sissy for putting me on to this gem! She literally raved about nailsaloon last week and here I am 7 days later with a fresh mani and a smile on my face every time I look at my nails! As of recently I have been getting dip powder, but I could tell the overall health of my nails was declining, so I decided to take this as a sign to try nailsaloon to whip these babies into shape! I booked appointments online for myself and a co-worker for the Saloon Mani for noon on a Friday afternoon and I'm glad we did because this place fills up FAST! When we arrived, we checked-in, and were told to choose our colors; however, my coworker requested a French manicure and I copied (I've never had one!). The French mani is an extra $8. My nail tech was Hannah and she was great! I especially LOVED the scrub that was applied to my hands and forearms and massaged in! Even after washing my hands, my skin still felt moisturized! Oh, and they clean your rings here! Yes, you read correct RING CLEANING! My ring hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long and looked brand spankin' new when I got it back. The whole time my coworker and I were here we ohh'd and ahh'd and not once did I smell any harsh chemicals or hear drilling of any sort. I definitely will be back in 2 weeks for my next dose of nailsaloon! Thank you for giving my nails life!!!!! read more

The salon itself was lovely - I really like the long table to sit at for the manicure. That made it easy to chat with my friend. However, the nail tech was rude and unprofessional and the mani/pedi wasn't good enough to make up for it. I can get that anywhere in the city, a mani and pedi - but great customer service is apparently hard to get at this place. I was late due to difficulty finding parking and some unexpected heavy traffic for a Saturday. My nail tech provided me with absolutely ZERO grace - as if I was purposefully late - and was nasty the entire time. My time is also valuable and I apologized at the desk for my tardiness. I certainly would've preferred not to spend 10 minutes driving circles around the salon for parking. That being said, I do not believe for one second that I am the only customer to arrive late to an appointment - in fact there are reviews on this very site with customers indicating they were late but were not treated as poorly as I was. I had every intention of tipping more than my usual 20% since I was late but that thought quickly disappeared as the service went on. She was awful. I feel like I was ripped off leaving the tip I did. I explained I'd lost a toe nail and asked her not to file the nail that is growing back and to polish with clear only so as to not draw attention to it. She proceeded to ask me "how long has this been going on" and "have you been to a doctor" before she then started giving me unsolicited medical advice. She is a nail tech. Not a doctor. And my medical history IS NONE OF HER BUSINESS. I felt extremely uncomfortable with her line of questioning, facial expressions and advice about a matter she knows absolutely nothing about. I don't owe her any explanation about my health. Period. Ironically, what was her business - gel manicures - she refused to engage in any conversation about or answer my question. I asked because I was interested in the service. What's the difference between a gel manicure and the regular manicure, I asked. Standard question that should've been easily answered. Her response was "there's a lot of differences" with her face all twisted up. Between her bad energy, rude attitude and lack of customer service the manicure should've at least been good. But I guess she was so angry about whatever her problem was she couldn't be bothered with doing her job well. Waste of time and waste of money. I will not return and encourage others to try the mimosa mani/pedi in DuPont Circle. Their nail techs are nice. read more

I'm gonna say in four words. Professional, Gracious, Efficient, Classy. That's it! Must Return. read more

Nails turned out great. I got the speedy mani with gel. I appreciated that they put sunscreen on your hands and would love to see more nail salons do this as well. As a first-time customer, the only confusing part was "checking out" with the person at the front to confirm to charge your card connected to your appt - I did that, but then received a call an hour later that I hadn't and they asked me about a tip but I had given that to them in cash. In any case, I'm glad I found a good nail salon for my visit to DC. read more

Very good service and Sissi did a great job! Gave me a last minute appointment. I highly recommend this place.

I had a bad experience one time I went here, the nail technician just wasn't great, but I have since become a loyal client and only will get gel manicures with Jade. Shes great. read more

Beautiful ambiance. I like the ease of online booking. They offer you a beverage such as water, tea, coffee, wine at start of appt. I had the gel mani + pedi. Great massage on the pedi! I'm sharing a photo from my gel french manicure which is 9 days after the service and still looks stellar! Bonus: they offer to clean jewerly complimentary. Five stars :) read more

Nice vibe. Very busy. Staff know what they're doing. A good place to get your feet done - and I love that it's so clean!

Really good experience with a pedicure I tried today. Good color selection, nice ambience, and very good staff. Slightly on the pricier side, and no massage chairs (instead a solid good massage but the nail technician, well appreciated); overall I think I'll be back! read more

Two visits, two amazing pedicures. I wanted to wait and review once I saw how my nails would hold up, but I got them done in mid-September and they just started looking less-than-perfect (minus new growth) at the beginning of November. Plus, this time beverages are back - maybe they were last time, I can't remember but don't think I was offered one, but I had a nice glass of wine and a really soothing experience. I'll definitely be back...probably in about six weeks! read more

I've been here a few times now and I do think they do a good job with nails. However, I go for nails as a way to treat myself and I always feel like I'm being rushed or not treated with care. The environment of this place feels very 'corporate' with long rows of nail and pedi booths. The focus is on efficiency and speed; they don't even encourage nail art because it takes so long. The pedi stations don't have any massage chairs. Don't get me wrong, they are almost always busy (almost no chance to walk in, so you must book online) but I wouldn't say it's a fun experience. The person at the front desk is not friendly at all. She was closely watching over and charged me extra for a gel removal because it took a bit longer without notifying me and kept micromanaging my appointment. It was weird. I don't think I'll come back. read more

This was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! My nail tech Emily took such good care of me. I'm currently in an arm sling with a separated shoulder and she was so accommodating to me and checked in to make sure I wasn't in any pain the entire process. I'm also a cosmetologist myself and this place passed all the sanitation things I look for in a salon! I'll definitely be back and I'm even more stoked it's a non toxic spot! 10/10 would recommend read more

Third time coming here (Logan Circle Saloon) for a gel "speedy mani". The nail technician was quick and did a very good job. Leaving with a great result. Nice, clean space without too much noise. Would recommend! I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5, since I had a less great experience last time (at Capitol Hill), where the technician did a messy job. However, I was in contact with the manager afterwards and received a refund. Good customer service. read more

Nelida was amazing! Very attentive and listened to my needs. Her shaping was perfect. I was very pleased with how she cared for my toenails and feet during my pedicure. She was gentle and effective. She even tackled my ingrown toenails, doing her best to remove them or shape them in a way that would influence better growth and it worked! I've seen her twice and I haven't felt the pain of an ingrown since the first time I saw her. Amazing!! read more

Wonderful, non-toxic, vegan nail place. And they do a great job. Have been going there for years. Highly recommended.

I had an appointment today for a pedicure. I added a mani gel removal and gel mani while onsite and it was no issue. Ivonne did all the work and did an awesome job. I almost never get pedicures and she took such care with filing and cleaning the cuticles. The gel mani was also one of the best that I've received -- I hate when the gel is lumpy or when the tech misses the sides of nails. They look fabulous and I would definitely recommend this salon to others. Super clean and great service. read more

I have been to nailsaloon twice and will certainly be making it a regular experience. The atmosphere is more spa-like than other nail salons with modern finishes and light interior. The manicure itself is literally perfect, the nail technicians pay fine attention to detail across shaping, cleaning and polish and do a great job on the massage. I got the Saloon Gel Manicure and it is flawless. Other small touches like their non-toxic polish, application of sunscreen before the UV gel curing, cute trays for rings and bracelets removed during a manicure, and their easy online booking system, you can tell this salon cares about their customers. read more

Awesome place! The prices are reasonable, which is hard to find in the area, and the customer service was great. Drinks are complementary and the nail tech did a great job with my nails, she even gave me a little hand massage at the end that was heavenly! Super sanitary and clean place too. Highly recommend read more

Provides consistent quality and professional services. Easy to book, relaxed vibe. Recommend

I've been here twice. On my second visit, I was running late (unexpectedly hit construction traffic) and I was texted by the salon and I informed them I was still coming but running late. After getting out of traffic and arriving by the salon I informed them I was looking for parking via text. By the time I got in the salon I was 30 minutes late to my scheduled time. I expected my appointment would either need to be rescheduled or I would have to wait, which I wouldn't have objected to. But when I arrived, the front desk individual told me I may or may not be serviced at all and said regarding the tech I had scheduled with that "his clients are always on time." The person at the front desk came back and told me I wouldn't be serviced and I would be charged the no show amount. I was frustrated because I had been in communication via text to update them on my whereabouts and it would have been helpful if they told me to just not bother coming instead of me remaining in traffic. Another person who works there came up and said I could have a regular gel appointment with any of the techs (my original appointment was for builder gel, which only one person there handles). I was fine with that, especially because I don't get my nails done often and I just wanted something done to them for my birthday. The overall experience was a bit uncomfortable after that. The manicure was very quick, the tech didn't clean under my nails. I specifically came to this location because I enjoyed my first experience there. I still provided the standard tip for my service (because even with poor service, we live in a tip economy so I think it's always important to do so) but after today, I'll look elsewhere. Things happen beyond a person's control that affect someone being on time. And I didn't appreciate how I was spoken to. read more

I got a manicure and pedicure. My technician was professional, polite, and very good. The staff is SUPRR amazing, which is a testament to the owner. The atmosphere was lively and fun. read more

It's a clean, peaceful, upscale nail salon that smells good, not like chemicals used at other salons. Love that it's a natural place. If pregnant women and kids can go in without breathing fumes, I'm there. They added Dazzle Dry polished that dry in 5 minutes. They last like a gel mani/pedi would. The technicians are meticulous and they don't talk to each other and on their phones. It's a nice place. Loses one star because they used to serve coffee and champagne, but since Covid I don't blame em but tiny bottled water would be nice. read more

Ahhhhh nail salooon...where have you been all my life?!?!? I was initially wowed by the level of professionalism I experienced during my call for a same day appointment. I was immediately accommodated. The employee (maybe manager) I spoke with on the phone was so warm and friendly. She took my information and advised that I could come in at 12:30. I entered the lux salon in the upstairs of the building (mind you they are completing sidewalk construction in front of the building). The salon was such a refreshing contrast to the street noise and construction dust outside. The first thing I noticed was how bright and airy the salon was. No standard nail salon massage chairs, fumes, or manicure tables. You are treated to plush seating and a central marble nail station in this fume free zone! I absolutely loved the purse hanger! It's a haste having a bag in most salons...So clutch! My nail tech, Jessica, was phenomenal! I went to have my gel removed and she did it gently and effectively! My manicure and the atmosphere were so relaxing, I was nodding off during my service. I kid you not, my head was bobbing! The fact that the polish is non-toxic, the complementary beverage (cocktail or cranberry anyone?) annnnnnnd the complementary ring cleaning were the icing on my already too decadent cake. I'm late writing this review, but I wanted to wait two weeks to see how their brand polish would hold up as well as my manicure! In terms of longevity, nail saloon scores a 10/10. I'm hard on my nails and there was only slight wear on the tips before I removed the polish. Pricing is about average for the area, but I was so in love with the color that I purchased the polish too...smh. I can't wait to get back there! read more

Great non-toxic option in DC for beautiful nails! They do NOT do acrylics/nail extension here given their non-toxic commitment, so not the place if you want to add on nails! However, the saloon salon is clean, professional, and has amazing artists. It's a very comfortable space to be in - especially without all that chemical smell! Definitely will keep returning whenever I have fancy nail needs. read more

Decided to try this salon because I was looking for a place that used toxin free products and took cleanliness and sanitation seriously. Not only did this salon meet both requirements, but the staff was incredibly accommodating. They have limited services because they only work with toxin free products which limits what you can do but definitely worth it. Will be going again. read more

Great spot to receive a relaxing pedicure! One of the most relaxing pedicures I've ever received (a bit more expensive than the pedis I usually receive). Wish we had a NailSaloon in SF! FYI - t don't offer gel pedis. Here's how my pedi went: -Walked in without an appointment (3:30pm on a Thursday), -Picked my Zoya nail color (non-toxic, long-wearing, natural nail polish that's free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP and camphor), -Seated at one of 10 plush sofa seats for my pedi -Ordered a latte, sat back, read, and enjoyed my salt scrub, leg & foot massage, and the hot oil treatment! -Ordered another cappuccino while my polish dried (30mins). Price breakdown: $48.00 for the full pedi, $10.00 for gel removal, $15.00 for tip. Total: $73.00 read more

Probably one of the better pedicures I've ever had. I'm not sure if it was the company or the fact they gave us more than enough specialty cocktails,but I had a great time and now I have pretty sparkly blue toes and soft feet. First of all, the place is gorgeous and spacious and ever so clean. It doesn't smell like a nail salon, at all. I heard they have great ventilation system like a Vegas casino where the bad air and fumes are pumped out. It is seriously library quiet in here, with the exception of us and them playing Van Halen quietly on a loop there was no noise here. Although we had appointments, it took them about ten minutes to prep. We picked out the colors, while they opened up new kits and lined the bowls with disposable plastic (nice sanitary touch). They do have wide array of colors but they stick to 5 Free polishes, which means only brands of polishes made without the 3 common chemicals found in nail polishes (Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde), but also without 2 other very dangerous chemicals (Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor). So no OPI or Essie here, but rather they only had Zoya, RGB and Priti NYC. I went with Zoya over RGB (which after two drinks I was calling RG III) because they seemed to have more bright colors with glitter. This is one gripe, with the exception of RGB these are all lower end 5 free polishes (I get Zoya all the time for free in the mail), so it would be nice to see some diversity and higher end 5 free polish premium brands like Deborah Lippman, Scotch Naturals and LVX to justify the price of the pedicure. If you're expecting massage chairs, this is the wrong place for it. Being that Victoria called out my shorty status in her review, massage chairs can sometimes be too big for me, and once the pounding motion actually ejected me out of the seat, so I was glad to see they had smallish boxy chairs. Yet, my feet still couldn't reach the bowls so yeah, I needed two pillows behind me. That's how it's got to be when you are five feet tall. You have plenty of space to put your polishes and purses down at the table next to you, which is stacked high with magazines and has a cubby hole for your shoes.They offered us beverages which were either: water, tea, red or white wine, their signature cocktail (sparkling wine, vodka, cranberry and pineapple juice), coffee, lattes or cappuccinos. We opted for the signature cocktail. After two of those, I was thinking National Geographic was the funniest magazine I ever read. The technicians were great, apparently they thought we were hilarious. They were highly technical, and gave a great massage. They used supplies like files, once, and promptly disposed of them. I like that they managed to scrub my feet clean without triggering my knee jerk ticklish reaction.Or that might have been the alcohol. Whatever, the whole process was great. The pedicure did last for 45 minutes and we sat for a few extra minutes (or maybe an hour) waiting for our polish to dry. They even applied oil and wrapped our toes in saran wrap so our pedis would not smudge in our socks and shoes. Brilliant. Given the customer service, ease of booking appointments on the yelp app (I hate actually speaking to people),the great drinks and the precise pedicure, I would return here again despite the high price. You are paying more so for the ambiance, cleanliness and experience of a spa day here rather than for nail art or fancy nails. Also note if you're balking at the price, 3% of their profits go here: http://dccfh.org/. I can get behind that. read more

No - I didn't get service there. They said it would be six and a half hours until I could get a pedicure. Went down the street to another location I need to look up and give a shout out to. This place was pretentious and unaccommodating read more

I've been struggling as I debated whether or not to write this review. I really wanted to love this place...and I did...but my gel nails were chipping within a week. Not a good thing when you are spending over $100 for a mani/pedi plus tip. Let me say...this isn't my first rodeo with gel nail polish. I'm used to my gel manicure lasting at least two and a half weeks without a chip. So why was I struggling to rewrite this review? For starters, the place has a positive vibe. The people including the lady who did my mani/pedi are all respectful and the place is immaculately clean. You are offered a variety of hot and cold beverages to enjoy during your service. To be honest though, I'd rather spend this kind of money at a place that is incredibly clean, the decor is pleasant, no beverages offered, and my mani/pedi lasts. I mean that's why people patronize this establishment don't they? I'm willing to try this place again when I'm back in DC this month. Hoping my experience was a one off. read more

My go to spot for mani pedis in DC. The place is clean (and super cute decor). And the polish and gels are non-toxic. The staff was super friendly. It's a wee bit expensive but worth it! read more

I had been wanting to come to this place for about a year now. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The place is very clean which is a good thing however, they are over priced and do not offer anything more than a normal salon would. They actually offer less. The appeal to this place was the saloon style bar, however, with COVID, they have stopped those services. They do however still charge the same amount. The pedi bowls do not massage, nor do the chairs. This place may have been better before COVID, but now to just a regular salon. read more

I have been on the hunt for a good place to get a manicure and pedicure near to work. On that list was Nail Salon and I was not disappointed! Making an appointment was an easy process and I was greeted and shown to my salon expert right away. They do have a waiting area with comfortable chairs and water, etc. The manicure itself was done really well and all the equipment were clean and sanitized! The mail tech was very pleasant and good at here work :) The prices here are on the higher side but I would definitely add this place to my list of nail places to consider in downtown :) read more

I did a mani+pedi shiney buff (no polish) with Altin. His shiney buff service was hands-down the best shiney buff I have ever gotten. After more than seven days my mani+pedi still has the wet-shiny look. This is unusually long. Way to go!! Super pricey--$80 mani/pedi. For this price, I expect a lot... definitely more than a cluttered salon that plays music for us on a sonos bluetooth speaker. Every surface in the salon was crammed with something. Idea: bare manicure bar unless a client is receiving service. The length-wise cabinet with the sanitizing station could also be bare. It would look much better. read more

Came back to this nail salon! Explained about my previous visit and got wonderful manicure this time! Its now 4th day and my nails still look nice! I chose their brand nail polish. I had Nail Specialist Tanya! She was very nice and professional! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Online booking makes last-minute treat yo'self decisions easy. (Small-value gift cards also make for great stocking stuffers.) Time estimates in the system obviously don't include polish drying time. I sipped on my green tea throughout, and my technician understood I wasn't the chatty type. I opted to skip the nail trim, and the corners of my nails ended up getting rounded off with a file. Sugar scrub, hot towel, and massage were so relaxing, and now my hands are extra soft. Borders and opacity are a little inconsistent in places, but I'll still come back and try a pedicure sometime. read more

Customer service is great and the girl in the Front is nice and remembered my name. However my nail tech was good but I still felt my in grown nail even after I told her and when I got home it was still hurting. I had to cut it off myself. I am not sure how they do hand nails but I think I will be doing my own pedicure from now on we're going somewhere else read more

They were doing free manicures last Friday (June 1) as part of a promotion for a new AMC show, so how could I not get one?! And it was brilliant because they had the trailer for a new show playing on loop so for the 30 minutes I was there I saw it about 15 times and am definitely going to watch Dietland. The nail technician who took care of me did such a good job, shaping and filing and making my nails look so glossy and nice. I was served ice water but they have other beverages. I'm coming back in a few months, for sure! read more

nailsaloon - Logan Circle - Still shiny and pretty after three days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is my absolute favorite nail place in DC. Whenever I am in town and have time I always go here. The prices are affordable and the space is incredibly chic. I have never had bad service or had a problem getting an appointment even last minute. I love their non-toxic philosophy and even though the polish is not shellac I find that they do such a good job that it lasts just as long. It's a manicure that you can feel good about not just because it's relaxing and comfortable environment but also because it's not harmful! If you had the chance to go I highly recommend that you do! read more

I followed up with the manager about my incident and concerns from last visit. She apologized and connected with staff as my experience did not meet their standards.
