    I went here on Tuesday to have my nails done and here it is Sunday and I'm already missing 4 nails. First of all they are slow as molasses, 2 hours just to get a pedicure that still wasn't finished yet, then Katrina rushed my nails and left a lot of acrylic underneath the nail that made it look fat and ugly. I was totally unpleased and complained about the lines being uneven before leaving but she was so in a rush for the next person money that she totally didn't care. And gave me attitude because I didn't like my nails after spending my hard earned money I will not be going back ever again. Waste of money and prices change every time I go as if she just come up with a price off her head. NEVER AGAIN SHE USE TO DO A GOOD JOB AND TAKE HER TIME. NOW SHE IS A RUSHING MESS $130 for pedi and full set GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

    A business that suppose to open @9:30 am and hasn't opened yet.

    I don't get my nails done that often but when I do I normally come to this location. So today I figured I'd get my nails done before I go to work. The website says they open @9:30. I've been here since 9:40 and guess what its still closed. Although, their sign says open they are closed and now I'm pissed off because it cost me $16.00 in an Uber. I want my money back which is going to be $32 for NY round trip transportation to and from this place of No Current Business.

    BS manicure with leftover gel polish that was supposedly removed. This is how I left the shop. Done by Kim
    M W.

    I have tried to like this place on many occasions, TODAY WILL BE MY FINAL VISIT! This is a HIT or MISS location for the work they do. Sometimes it's ok and most times because they are rushing to get to the next waiting customer, your service will be BOTCHED!! That was not the case today. I went in wanting gel nails ( my preferred application) and came out with something TOTALLY HORRIBLE! The tech wanted to file the old polish off (which they always want to do yo save time and get the next sucker in the chair faster) causing damage to my real nails. I told her I wanted it soaked off. While waiting I selected a pretty nail polish but upon seeing the old bottle of clumped mess once the tech brought it to the table, I decided that was not a good option. I also decided not to select any other because they probably were ALL OLD & CLUMPY! The tech began to proceed with my manicure... PURE DISASTER! In between texting and talking on her phone she painfully & unnecessarily clipped the corners of my nails, and cuticles. I told her she was being rough as well as pulled away when she did so. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT IMMEDIATELY! Once she so called HALF ASSED removed the previous gel polish and clipped and filed my nails she told me to go and wash my hands. I did so and noticed that this was not her best work. When I got back to her station, I let her know that I had decided against getting gel and this is where the problem began. I don't think she liked that being that a REGULAR manicure is less than a gel manicure. She began trimming & clipping again. (But isn't that what she just did before I was told to wash my hands??!) Anyway, upon trimming and clipping again she clipped so far down that she DREW BLOOD! She did not say a word nor apologize! She then proceeded to grab the polish to begin polishing, It was at this point my anger came out! I asked what she was going to do about the bleeding and she looked at me like she didn't understand what I was saying! (ALL UP TO THIS POINT SHE HAD BEEN SPEAKING FLUENT ENGLISH WITH UNDERSTANDING!!) I asked for alcohol she grabbed a bottle of some aqua colored liquid to apply. I had to repeat to her that I wanted ALCOHOL. She produces the alcohol and a piece of cotton acting like she doesn't know how to apply alcohol to a wound so I do it myself. I then ask how much because now it's way past time for me to get outta there. She writes $23 on a piece of paper. I ask how did you come up with $23?! $18 for the BOTCHED manicure and $5 for the gel polish removal! I then asked how much will you deduct for making me bleed? Again with the not understanding english... The manager then comes over looks at the blood and tells her to deduct a whole $5 for my blood loss... So I was charged $18 for this BS manicure which pictures have been included. You can keep making them rich by overpaying money for GARBAGE SERVICES!!

    This is the first time in a LONG time that I've said I love my nails!!! I have found my new home in Nu Nails. After frequenting a local salon for over 6 Years, I decided to branch out and explore some of the techniques that I've been seeing all over the Internet. The basic nail gel colors are outdated and BORING! So at the recommendation of a waitress at a local restaurant I frequent, I gave it a go! The place is small with limited seating for waiting but my wait wasn't long. I was able to get started on my pedi. Only downfall to the pedi was the chairs. They did offer the chair massage like most typically do. Cindy was my tech and did a great job. I got the basic. At $28, that's all I need for now. I got my fill in from Katrina who is simply THE BEST! She worked fast and efficiently. She shaped them just the way I wanted. I love my chrome nails! Needless to say, I will be back!

    I swear the pictures does this place no Justice! Coming out of Quarantine and reopening, I couldn't wait to get back into Christinas chair. She is the only nail technician to ever get my nails and toes exactly just the way I want them! Ill write a 1,000 reviews just to let you all know how good she is! She is very patient, she takes her time and perfects her work, she reassures you to make sure you are satisfied and she always try new things (if she can execute it perfectly) if I ask! And I also love that she is honest if she can not do the design or style you want, because we all know that leads to disappointment if not done right! Overall, im a regular and will always go back!

    Favorite gel color!

    Wow! I have a new favorite nail salon! Went here with a friend 3 weeks ago following lunch at Pennyroyal Station for gel manicures and regular pedicures. Very friendly service and great attention to detail. My gel manicure still looks great 3 weeks later! What really had me at "hello" was that although one of my nails was slightly cracked at the top when I came in- rather than "cut down my nails" like almost every other salon would do- the Kristina took the time to repair the nail with powder/ nail glue and proceed with an amazing gel manicure. She also expertly removed an annoying callous on the bottom of my foot. Needless to say, this is my new "go to" nail salon and favorite color of polish!

    Ombre sns dipping powder manicure
    Jasmine R.

    So glad I didn't listen to their bad reviews and gave this place a shot. I walked in for a pedicure and sns dip powder and was immediately seated. The pedicure was basic and was nothing to write home about. The sns manicure however, was great. I asked for an ombre and got exactly what I had in mind. My only complaint was that I didn't really receive an actual manicure (no cuticle care) but the woman who did my nails may have misunderstood me when I asked her to do nothing but file my nails. The bathroom is also a little dingy so I would avoid using it unless you have to, but this is a great place to go to get high quality work done in a short amount of time. They don't have a parking lot but it's typically pretty easy to find a meter directly in front of the shop or on the street behind it. I was a little surprised with how much my total came out to be ($90- $30 pedicure and $60 ombre sns) since the regular sns manicure is $40 there but that's pretty consistent with the rest of the area and beauty is pain (to my bank account) I guess. I'll be back in a few weeks!

    This place is horrible and they tried to trick me. It was recommened to me and initially it seemed ok. This is my first and last time coming. I am an older woman who is black. Bad pedicure and nail job. It lasted 10 days. Additionally the tech cut my finger with a nail file When I complained about it the woman called me a liar in so many words. The cut nail on that finger broke inside and it hurt. I took it off and explained what happened. All I wanted was to repair the nail. Had Drama. They started talking about me and laughing in Korean. Of course no choice but to back your facts up The tech called the police. who were nice and agreed with me but still had 2 leave mad cuz I wasted 70.00 They are condescending and offer black people gaudy looking trash because thats how they view the melenated. Black people we need our own. These B.S. dont resp or even like us.

    I had the pleasure for the first time in participating in the Studio Chique experience. I have been…read morea 9 plus year customer at Robert Andrews . I came across Studio Chique browsing on IG . I saw the owner offering more than hair services to her clients . It's one thing to offer talent , but when your customer service and natural love for people is added it's an experience that anyone would pay for . My massage specialist Tia was excellent, very intentional and awesome personality. I will be booking her once a month now . Her respect for the owner and how she runs her business speaks volume. I shared with her that it was the owner that made me book the appointment. As an entrepreneur myself I know what it takes to run a successful business and it's not always easy . It takes prayer, God guidance and a team that share your vision . I'm thankful for Studio Chique being a wellness place to women and men to be poured into not just in beauty but also in spirit . Thank you for ministering and giving me confirmation to what God is spreading showing my husband and I . If you looking for a spa with great customer service . great atmosphere, excellent staff, black owned and a believer. I urge you to book your appointment , you definitely won't regret it . Thank you again to the staff @ Studio Chique you ladies rock , see you again soon .

    The salon itself is very aesthetically pleasing, beautifully designed, clean, and put together…read morenicely. That said, the location feels a bit sketchy, which is something to be aware of. Also, it's paid street parking. Unfortunately, my experience with my stylist, Whitney, was extremely disappointing. From the start, she was unwelcoming and came across as rude. During my appointment, she repeatedly spoke loudly over me to other stylists, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. There was little effort to make me feel comfortable or valued as a client. What stood out most was her demeanor throughout the service. Her tone and communication regarding my hair process and results were not only unhelpful, but also came across as condescending. A salon experience should feel relaxing and collaborative, this was the opposite. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with her, unless you're in the mood to want to get physically aggressive. While the salon has a great look, the service I received did not match the standard I expected.

    I am in DC temporarily for cancer treatment so I wanted to find a place to get my lashes done…read morebecause it's the one (vain) thing that makes me feel better right now. This place got good reviews so I booked an appointment at the Eastern Market location since it's near the place I'm staying. The night prior, they called and asked if I'd be willing to go to the Dupont Circle location instead so that the technician could fit in more appointments. It was annoying, but not a huge deal. I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.
