I wanted to start out saying that I have been to Oasis several times, and they have always done a nice job. I think it's a bit overpriced, but I always left feeling as though it was worth it as the manicure/pedicure looked good. For frame of reference, I always do a shellac manicure when I visit the salon. Although not all of the technicians were super friendly, there are some that are extremely helpful/kind! The reason I am giving the rating above is because I got a shellac mani, and after only 7 days of having it done, it was completely peeling off my nails. Not just a chip, but totally coming off. I definitely would not have paid for shellac if I was expecting it to come off in the first week, so I went into the salon and very politely asked if they could re-do it. I showed them my receipt from the week prior. First they ignored me for a solid 15 minutes as I kept seeing all of the technicians talk to one another and then look over at me. Then another woman came over and made the experience extremely awkward for me. She asked me where I was sitting when I had it done, who the technician was, and threw a bunch of reasons at me as to why I messed up the shellac. I noticed that when I got them done they used a different polish to make it stay on, so I told her that and she just continued to shake her head and look irritated with me. I was definitely NOT going to point out the technician who did my nails, as I thought that was pretty inappropriate. All in all it was a supremely awkward experience, and even though they did re-do it, makes me not want to go back. :( read more

I would give this place a zero if I could. I am now on my SECOND round of antibiotics after my pedicure at this place two weeks ago. The technician cut my cuticle so deeply on my toe that it became infected by their nasty whirlpools. DO NOT GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE. You'll not only overpay for a 'spa pedicure' but you'll spend the next few weeks with an infected toe. The technicians rush through appointments and don't use care whatsoever. read more

Spacious, clean, large salon. I had Lee do a mani pedi and reviews are spot on... she's great! She pays attention to detail and is friendly. I also tried threading which was not great. She made my brows uneven... ugh. Don't go there for threading - Sonu Salon in west falls church Is the best and half the price! The mani pedi was also a bit pricey but otherwise it was a nice experience (offers for drinks, including wine and tea are a great touch!) read more

The ladies here are super sweet, happily make accommodations, and do great work. I have only gotten a pedi, but I had a GREAT experience. Make sure you bring cash to tip. No tips on card! They do have an ATM machine, but I personally hate having to pay the ATM fees just for a tip. read more

One of the best pedicures I've had in years! I came in after running a Marathon, and they asked me if I wanted their Spa Pedicure. I agreed as my feet could use the treat after the pounding they took. I also got their regular (gel) manicure. The rest of the time was incredibly relaxing. They had a separate room for the pedicure with wonderful music playing - I nearly fell asleep multiple times while they were working on my feet. And they gave a wonderful massage. I was also impressed with the time they took on just a regular manicure. The technician was wonderful, and didn't rush anything, and truly made me feel like I was the only priority at that moment. I would highly recommend - decent prices for what I considered start treatment. Better than anything I've had at Red Door! read more

Excellent service. Long was my attendant. He gave the best massage during a pedicure I have every had. I am confident my calves will be very happy when I run tomorrow. Long was very detailed and a perfectionist. I highly recommend this nail salon. One Note: Tips can only be received in CASH. No additions to your credit card. This is not clear on their website nor do they tell you when you check in. You find out when you pay and have no cash :-( read more

I was going to try Oasis and arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment. 15 minutes after my appointment was to have begun it didn't look like they would be ready anytime soon. Apparently the person that was supposed to my technical took a walk-in that was having a full set of tips done right before I got there. What's the point of making an appointment? I had scheduled my day around showing up on time. While I was waiting I noticed that the salon didn't look very clean. The technicians all seemed stressed out and the decor was ugly. A dirty, fake cowhide rug was the first thing you see in the crowded waiting area and after waiting for 25 minutes I got tired of looking at it. I'd passed a new, clean salon on the way to Oasis. A quick phone call to Modern Nail confirmed they would take me right away, so I left Oasis and was thrilled with my choice. read more

The place is clean and relaxing with plenty of good magazines. However I was very disappointed with the quality of the SNS powder manicure. It was my first time getting the powder after 7 years of gel so I was excited as it is meant to be stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural. Manicurist Tee did my nails and unfortunately you could see a rough texture in some of nails, not completely smooth. Even worse, 2-3 of the nails cracked the next day! I went back the next day after noticing the crack and she redid those nails but even more nails cracked again after a few more days. Very disappointed as I paid more for the powder so that I would not have to waste time going back for repairs and so it would last for a long time without worrying about my nails. PS After 7+ years of gel I know how to take care of nails, e.g., wear gloves for cleaning, so it should not have cracked on the second day! PPS I was not offered a beverage or paraffin wax dipping as it seems other customers were... read more

If not for the outrageous price, I would have given Oasis 3 stars because I got a pedicure and fake nails that were of marginal, but not terrible quality. You would think that for being the most expensive salon I've ever gone to, there could have been a little more effort or at least free drinks. I wouldn't have minded so much that my nails were sloppily done and of barely mediocre quality had I been at a bargain salon. I'm pretty sure I've paid half what I paid at Oasis for twice as pretty nails. Update: After seeing that this place only had 2 dollar signs according to yelp, I decided to look up the price of fake nails and a pedicure. The price on the website was about $30 less than what I paid. Because I was with a friend, I didn't want to be difficult and didn't ask them how things were calculated. In retrospect, it looks like they ripped me off because I was clearly with a friend. Thus, I'm lowering my review to 1 star. read more

This is the only place in ARL where your Shellac (gel) manicure will last 2.5 - 3 weeks without chipping. Even my French manicure which always chips looks perfect 2.5 weeks later. I'm in love with this place. I'll never go anywhere else. The ambiance is gorgeous - everything is brand new and chic. The massage chairs for your pedicure are also godsend. You won't be disappointed! read more

The service was not great. I came with a friend because she knew the owner from her job as a teacher. The technician I had seemed in a rush and annoyed with me from the start. Both my friend and I were disappointed in the service and will not be coming back. read more

I have been to Oasis numerous times and each time my experience is better than the last! You are always greeted warmly by Lang and now there is an electronic check in system when you walk in. They offer you wine (red, white or rose), water or tea and have some light snacks available too! The pedicure area is removed from the main salon so it's super relaxing. Additionally the service is great and the polishes are sleek! I really don't know what more positive things I could say! I even moved from Arlington to Rockville and I still come here for important occasions! read more

I have been to this salon a few times and overall I can't believe how many truly awful experiences I have had here. They rush you to pick your color and if you take a little more time or need help in finding a color in gel or dip they are really nasty. This happened to me this weekend... a girl with blonde hair/and the others as well, was so angry that I needed help choosing a color in gel that she started yelling in her language. It got so bad that she was actually hurting my fingers and another woman actually had to rake over for her. I should file a complaint with the city since she bruised my fingers and they were sore for a few days after that. I will never set foot in this salon again! read more

I was reminded of this place when I walked by it yesterday. I had been planning on treating myself to a mani/pedi this weekend anyway, so I figured I'd give it a shot, since it's much closer than my usual nail salon. First of all, the decor is great, and you can tell they have a good ventilation system because I didn't get a headache from the usual nail salon smell, even though I was in there for over an hour. And they probably have the biggest selection of gel nailpolishes I've seen, both OPI and Essie. Love. The pedicure and manicure were both great. Manicure comes with a paraffin wax treatment, if you want it, which was great. My feet are not as baby soft as I would've liked, but I walked in there with some pretty dry feet, so overall, it's an improvement. Am definitely planning on going back for a refresh on my gel mani in a few weeks. Oh, and it's $68 for a gel mani and a regular ("Oasis") pedicure, which in this town is not bad at all. read more

Jane did my pedicure, she was absolutely amazing! The moment I walked in "Thursday around 2:00p.m) I was greeted with a warm smile! She asked me to pick my color , and when I chose several different shades she helped me narrow it down to just one! She asked if I wanted something to drink or a magazine! My pedicure was amazing!! I don't remember the guy that did my fill but I was more than pleased! I just moved to the area and the only place I found was in Chantilly VA! They did awesome there, I just like being close to home! read more

I have been around to almost every local nail salon in the Courthouse/Clarendon/Ballston area and this salon is the most consistent. This place is clean, chic, and gives a perfect mani or pedi every time. Does not even matter which technician I get! No chipping, no peeling ever. And every gel manicure I get lasts at least 3 1/2 to 4 weeks (although my nails grow out so it doesn't look the best). I've been going here now for a year and a half, and have yet to have a bad experience. read more

Oasis Nail Spa - Even after 3 1/2 weeks, they still look great (besides the nail bed growing out). No chipping, no peeling, or lifting. Perfect. - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Today was my first time going here.. I've walked by many times as I get my wax done next door but today was the first time trying and I have no complaints.. The staff was friendly the place was clean and sanitary the mood was calming .. Wide selection of colors .. It's was great.. I had a pedi and gel polish change on my hands .. It's a bit more than I usually pay that's why I didn't give it 5 starts but if money isn't an issue then I think this is a good spot! Also it's near the metro and there was lots of street parking so that's a plus too.. I would go back for sure read more

I was going to Oasis for months. During my last visit their computer system was down. I asked if I could still go ahead and schedule my next appointment as it was for my wedding. They said sure and took my info. The day of my appointment is when we got the snow (03/21/2018). NO ONE called me, reached out to me, no communication to let me know they were closed. I was left on my own in the snow to find an open salon that offers what I wanted for my wedding the next day. Horribly unorganized. I don't recommend them! read more

Most of the ladies here deserve great reviews, but don't go to Kelly...she does the absolute bare minimum that is required. Even after a 50% tip she didn't bother to clean under or buff my nails for a basic gel removal. I asked for a clear coat of polish so my nails could get a breather from gel....she literally just removed the gel and smeared one coat of clear polish over my bumpy and blotchy nails. It would have taken her an extra minute to just run a buffer over them. I've been to other places where they take the time to make sure your bare nails still look great and even recommend other polish colors to hide any blotchiness...I would have even paid extra for my nails to not look like I peeled the gel off myself. I get that a basic gel removal doesn't include a normal manicure but jeez my nails feel rough to the touch. 1 Star for Kelly. 5 stars for the other ladies I've been to. Average out to 3 stars read more

My first time here at the recommendation of a friend from work. Received a gel manicure and pedicure. They didn't scrimp on the process, my feet were soaked and scrubbed. They used cuticle softening cream to push back the skin on both my toenails and nails. There is still a callus which feels a little rough, though. Overall, my nails look perfect. There isn't a hair or smudge anywhere. Vy was very thorough and a perfectionist in the polishing. My hope is they last 2+ weeks as some of the reviewers have said. If they do, it will be worth the $68 price tag for a gel mani and regular pedicure. read more

Went back! -- I've given up on acrylic nails in northern va & I came back to oasis to try their gel manicures. I made an appointment on a very busy day before a holiday but still had to wait. I didn't mind, I knew they would be busy.. About 15 mins later I was waited on and received a great manicure!! With the gel and the hot wax treatment - $38! Great price! When I went to pay, I received $5 off for the wait. Next time I go, I'll take a pic! Unfortunately I've realize gel polish doesn't work for my nails but it wasn't a lack of the manicure! I'll be back for a regular manicure soon. read more

Okay, I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I feel the need to express my disappointment in my last appointment here. In the past my experience here was great. I went on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend, wanting to provide the hubby with a pedicure and massage and pampering as part of his Father's Day relaxing weekend. I felt like we were so rushed and didn't get the level of service I paid $$$ for. I had a male tech named Sonny, my first and last service with him. It looked like my 5 year old painted my nails and toenails. He skipped several steps of the spa pedicure I wanted. He was in such a rush, I was not in a relaxed mood at all. I was telling him what to do all the time. I had to point out every hair he missed on my eyebrow waxing! So annoying. My husband had a female tech, I didn't capture her name, but she was the same, in a rush and didn't provide him a good relaxing experience. I'm so upset and unhappy with this one time bad service and money I paid for that bad level of service, that it over rules all the past good ones, and now I will be on the hunt for a new salon. I'm not sure if this was a Saturday service thing, but my norm appointments here are weekdays after work, so not sure if I'm just accustom to non peak hours type of service. So my I'm not recommending you don't try this place, to each its own, but I don't have tolerance to deal, therefore leading me on the hunt for a new nail salon... read more

This place is terrible. I went for a pedicure, and a week later it looks like I never got one. Plus she did it in 20 mins. Never again.

Atmosphir is nice but pedicure was not the best. My nails were not filed evenly and the paint job sucked. Not worth $33.00. So disappointed. read more

I came to get a manicure in the morning on a Saturday. The salon was clean and not busy. I asked for a gel french manicure, which the woman clearly didn't know how to do. Another manicurist actually came and took over in an effort to fix it and ended up redoing a few nails, but it still looked awful. 90 minutes and a crappy manicure later, I walked out and definitely won't be returning. read more

One of the best pedicures I have ever gotten! I cannot wait to go back! The massage was amazing and there were a ton of color choices! read more

Oasis Nail Spa - This is the pedicure I got. Perfect job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Went here a couple of weeks ago for a gel mani and spa pedi. Probably one of the best spa pedis I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them! Super relaxing and a nice, clean place. Maybe would have liked a bit more work done on the hard skin on my feet, but it was my own fault for not mentioning it at the time - I'm sure it would not have been a problem. Gel mani was immaculate. Lasted over 3 weeks with no chipping, only had to get them redone because my nails grow so fast. I thought the staff member who attended to me done a fantastic job, I just wish I asked for her name so I could make sure to go to her again next time I visit. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was I thought it was really quite pricey. I didnt get to give the girl as much of a tip as I would liked because I was thrown off guard and wasnt expecting it to cost that much. But then it was top quality so I suppose you get what you pay for. Overall, great place and looking forward to going back soon. read more

Terrible . No hot water. Waited over 30 minutes WITH an appt. Been coming here for over 6 years. Talked to management and all they said was ...." We are busy". Never again. The nail tech hurt my toe with an electric sander and laughed about it. read more

I absolutely love my gel manicure here. Lam is the best ! He really makes sure my nails are perfect and last 3 weeks ! It's very pricey so be advised. Place would get 5 stars if it were not for the price. read more

It's really hit or miss with the salon. I've visited three times once during the morning around 11am and the other two times in the early afternoon. It's clean and has lots of light coming in from the windows. They have beverages like water and tea and in the evenings they offer wine. They sometimes ask you if you would like something. They have the radio playing so there are some tunes to listen to. I've only had a gel manicure and removal. You sign in on their sign in sheet and select your service. In the afternoon, they are well staffed and you are immediately prompted to choose your color. They are slightly pushy and I felt rushed when choosing a color as they wanted to get my nails wrapped to remove the gel. I really didn't see what the big deal was since there was no one else there except myself and my co-worker that I went with. They are efficient but some filing or attention to cuticles and potentially a hand massage is forgotten. Make sure you keep an eye on what they are doing and speak up about what you want. If you want your nails trimmed, be sure to ask otherwise they will just file them. I brought a picture I saw on Instagram for them to try and do my second visit. It was french tips with moons. My hand and thus my nails are petite so they made the tips and moon big which made my fingers look stubby. They were super confused and it looked way different, so I would suggest staying with solid colors. My third visit, my index nail had a bubble and crack and I told the technician and they told me they would have to take the entire polish off and start again, I had time, but they refused to fix it, so here we are. The prices are reasonable. Gel removal and polish change was $28 +tip. When I had the french tips with moons, that was $50 +tip. read more

Extensive Essie & OPI color selection. Like that the pedicure area is separated from entrance and mani area - makes it a little easier to relax. Overall enjoy this salon. read more

Jennie from Boston is the best, I give her 5 stars. I have used other techs but she is by far the best.

Wendy is great. I have only been twice but she is definitely my go to. Very meticulous and has a great attitude about making sure your nails look nice and neat. Plus the parafin wax was a nice bonus with the manicure. read more

Never ever go there. Poor customer service. They ruined my nail when they were taking of my gel polish. I told them about it but they didn't care. Not even say sorry. They don't know the quality of job. They just want to do everything fast as soon as they see new customer walks in. My nails got chipped after a day. I called them and told the situation. Didn't even apologize. They have really bad attitude. When i went there to fix my chipped nails, the woman treated me so bad. She didn't even erase gel polish properly. When I told her, she replied to me it is okay. Don't waste your money and time there. I wish i could give 0 star. read more

I'm a new neighbor of Arlington. I needed to get my nails done before my interview that evening. Went in as a walk-in and hoped they would be able to accommodate me. I was greeted by a pretty lady, then they served me with a hot green tea. My feet were pampered with a hot towel and a relaxing massage chair. Then, my toes nails turned out great. Their magic hands truly made my nails transformed. I'll be a loyal customer here. read more

This has become my regular place since I moved to the area. I have been for pedicures, regular manicures, and gel manicures, and each time the experience has been outstanding. The most recent gel manicure I had lasted nearly three weeks without any chipping. I always get taken right away, and for me, never having to wait is a huge bonus. I also love the ambiance and the fact that this place doesn't have that awful acetone smell that most other nail places have. Highly recommend! read more

I found this place about 10 months ago, after going to them to repair a terrible no-chip done at another salon. Since I don't live in DC, I could only check them out again when visiting friends in the area. This time was a complete different experience. My friend's no-chip was gorgeous! Great color choices and very friendly staff. However, my gel overlay was clumpy and bumpy. Not only did the nice man not know how to file the gel down for a realistic look, he didn't even try to clean under nails, which make them break quickly. Clearly gel nails just aren't their specialty. Lastly, I paid $85 for it with a basic pedicure. Definitely felt like a rip off. I won't be back. read more

Miss Lee was just amazing ! they we're about to close and could have turned me away but she took me in and I got a spa pedi and a eye brow wax I highly recommend this place they care about the customers and pay very close attention to detail they were even offering snacks and soda while they work I'll definitely be back ! read more

Pleasant environment. Great sports pedicure for men. Free wine is a nice touch. As with any pedicure it depends on who you get but after a few visits I have been happy with everyone. read more

Oasis is cute, clean, and conveniently located, however, it is an incredible waste of money and I urge you to avoid.Two days after my (and a friends) 38$ pedicure, it was chipping. This is unfortuante but unsurprisng given that the nail tech spent MAYBE 20 minutes on my feet. She filed and painted, no scrub, lotion, or hot towel. I also had a dip manicure. Again, no lotion or massage. To top it off, when we went to pay (and use a 10$ coupon we signed up for online), we were told that it was a coupon for a 10$ giftcard, that you had to come back to use. WHAT. Needless to say, I promptly threw that shit away and will not be returning. This place is a scam. Go anywhere else for your mani/pedi!! read more
