this was my first time in here. inside is super cute and the staff is very friendly. the prices are about the same as most nail salons. how ever the only reason I'm not thrilled about this place and won't be returning, is because the quality of service. I chose to do there luxury package which is $73 dollars and since I had a gift card, definitely decided to treat myself. unfortunately it just felt like a basic pedicure that got stretched out over 60 minute. I have been to plenty of places that for the price range I'm being PAMPERED!!!! not a single rough spot left on my feet, cuticles and nail look and feel immaculate, my nail technician is scrubbing/rubbing/massaging my feet for at least 15 minutes each. the works honestly. maybe I'm just the lucky one that got a fluke visit. overall atmosphere very nice and welcoming, staff is very friendly, the quality of service very disappointing. read more

Great atmosphere and service. The nail technicians do amazing creative work (I have embraced nail art). The studio is clean and no overpowering smells. If you haven't visit - do so! read more

I've been to Paint a few times and have liked it for appearing to take sanitary practices seriously and for being an open, clean space. I also like that the technicians mostly wear masks. Every time I go, however, I have to wait at least 15 minutes. This time it was over half a hour and there was no apology or anything for the long wait, which forced me to reschedule a work call. While the technician eventually did a good job, it definitely felt a bit rushed. If I'd have shown up half an our late, I doubt they would have been so understanding. They probably would have considered the appointment canceled and still charged me for it. In this instance, a discount or something like that as way of apology would have been appropriate and shown good customer service. I'm not writing it off, but I won't be rushing back either. read more

Everyone is always really friendly, they have great customer service, and I always leave with beautiful nails! Even when I had an emergency and needed a fix when they were really busy and booked, they were able to be accommodating. The place itself is cute, clean, and trendy. Highly recommend. read more

I've only been here twice to get a gel manicure for special occasions and had great experience both times. This has quickly become my go-to place. It's conveniently located in Rosslyn where I visit regularly for food and drinks. The environment is excellent and feels super clean, not congested like some of the other salons with assembly line feels. I especially like that the polishes they offer are non-toxic, which is reassuring given gel nails can be a bit taxing on natural nails. The owners and staff are welcoming and friendly, who make me feel comfortable overall. I've only worked with Crystal and Rachel, and the gel manicures I received had been meticulously done and super long lasting. I try to give my nails a good long break in between gels but I look forward to returning soon! read more

Great place for my pedicure; Autumn was meticulous and I was pleased with the quality of her work. Never have felt pressured or rushed at Paint Nail Bar (Arlington). Would highly recommend this business. read more

Something is wrong with this place. I discovered it during Covid and it was a great place, clean, well organized, service used to be exceptional. They actually cared. It is expensive, but I thought that it was worth it, especially because it's so convenient. Until I went there during Memorial day weekend - the nail tech saw me check in (on time), walked right past me, then proceeded to go into the break room and appeared ten minutes after the scheduled time with a sour look on her face. I am not sure if it was an issue she had with management, but I definitely felt like I was a negative imposition on her otherwise great day. While I was waiting, I was told several times that "she'll be ready for me in a minute." I felt like I was imposing on her break time. But since I've seen the nail tech before, I figured she was just a little tired and everything would be fine. I was wrong! I asked her to check my cuticles and she immediately told me that I needed to see a podiatrist and she was unable to do anything. She then basically did nothing other than wash my feet, rub them with alcohol, quickly put one coat of nail polish and left. The whole "procedure" took 20 minutes and it was the worst pedicure I've ever gotten. I ended up doing my own cuticles at home when I got back afterwards. I complained to the woman at the front desk, who started checking the clock and tried to convince me that whatever nail service I received was appropriate. She then told me that my nails "looked fine." I emailed the salon about that situation and have been waiting for a few weeks for a response. I delayed my review here specifically because of that - because I genuinely liked the salon and the tech and was hoping they would at least acknowledge my email. But I will not go back and would advise others to go elsewhere. Service has gone down and I don't expect it to improve any time soon. read more

Based on customer service alone this salon is 5 star unfortunately the inconsistency and quality are the reasons for the low rating. For what you pay, the gel does not last as other salons. When I have gone back to have my nails touched up often I leave with them looking worse than when I arrived to get it fixed. I had a 4:30 pedi scheduled for 30 minutes. I did not leave until after 5:30 on top of the pedi being smudged, messy and red/irritated areas around my nails. read more

Updating my review: While I don't think the gel-x was for me, Paint Nail Bar's other services have been AMAZING. I'm lucky if I can get my toe polish to last two weeks... my pedicures from Paint last SIX weeks. I also tried to the IBX treatment, which made a difference after one treatment. The salon also has no smell (acetone, nail polish, etc), unlike virtually every other nail salon. The staff couldn't be more friendly. I will not be going anywhere else other than here for my nails! read more

The service and people at this cute boutique nail bar were EXCELLENT. The entire process was seamless- they sat me down right away and provided me with drink options. Each station even has a handy card that shows you the different nail shapes you can request. With warm towels, oils, and hand massages, it truly felt like a beautiful spa experience. Unfortunately, the quality of my manicure left a lot to be desired. I got a basic (non-gel) polish which lasted just over a week before chipping. It wasn't properly dry when I left so dents and chips appeared with every brush of the hand. The polish also bubbled (more visible on the white nails). Overall, the quality of nails wasn't in-line with the great service and environment. But I had an enjoyable time and will be back to try the gels. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Paint Nail Bar since they opened their doors three years ago. I'm so disappointed to report that they lost me as a client today after I called to see if they can fix my broken nail (that broke less than 24 hours after my appointment). I was told by Kevin (the owner) that they do not have any availability that fits with my schedule over the next 3 days before I leave for my vacation. I have been a part of their Passport loyalty program for years now and haven't ever needed a nail repair prior to this week, so I didn't realize that this option was not available. Unfortunately, this situation has made me aware of their poor customer service and I have cancelled my membership moving forward. I have recommended many friends to Amber and Kevin's business in the past, but no longer recommend this Paint location. read more

I was referred by a coworker to this place. I didn't think it was going to be great because well they don't have massage chairs. I ended up signing up for a membership. The massage chairs are something I forgot about once I arrived. The couple who manage are amazing. Always so kind just oozing hospitality with serving beverages to make us feel welcome. They have cute gifts around the salon. The beat part besides paragon and massage is the cruelty free non toxic polish. My hubby loved that we could manage our pedis at the same time. We are moving otherwise we would still be going here. For my bday they gave me a cute treat and my hubby got me a cheetah watch band. read more

I loved my experience here! I came for my birthday with two friends and it was well worth it. Rachel did a fantastic job on my gel mani and nail art! The owners Amber and Kevin are very friendly and did a great job making my birthday feel special. We had mimosas while getting our nails done and they even gifted me birthday caramels at the end to celebrate. I love that their polishes contain fewer chemicals than traditional offerings, but still have the same quality of staying power. My gel mani lasted 3 weeks before showing wear and growing out, and my dazzle dry pedi still looks flawless! This will be my new go-to spot. read more

As always, the technicians were great. We love the atmosphere of the salon. We especially love that there are no fumes.

What a stellar experience! Truly the nicest nail salon I have ever been to. So clean, stylish, everyone was friendly. I felt truly pampered. Plus they had 2 very clean bathrooms which is a literally unicorn to me when it comes to nail salons. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable. They had such a wide range if complimentary drinks from mimosas to pilsners to coffee and tea (and literally everything in between). Also they use safe products that are very low on chemicals. Of course, it is pricey, but you get what you pay for and I would for sure go back (which is saying something because I hate spending money on my nails). read more

Jenny to the rescue, the only person that fixed the hour wasted. What a horrible pedi! I came last time during pandemic and this place was different. The owners are on the floor and the manager I guess but they look away. the service bad! my pedicure looked like I little girl did it. my leg got a crump from being seated getting this never ending bad pedicure! I am still seated here. never again. your technician needs help! You need to provide better service. read more

I was in town for work and needed a quick getaway during a break. Kevin and Amber at the front went above and beyond to help and were able to find room for me right away. They were so accommodating and even provided me with sparkling rose! The store itself has an amazing ambiance and also sold what looked like local artists goods, which is so cool to see! I made sure to pick something up to help support the local businesses. My technician, Michell, was so professional and did an amazing job! She helped me to pick out a great color and took her time, but respected my time frame, which was very much appreciated. Overall - amazing experience and when I am back in town I will definitely be back! Every staff member I came into contact with was so friendly, approachable, and helpful. Will highly recommend to friends! read more

I've really been enjoying Paint Nail bar since I moved to the area. The nail artists are all very professional and talented, and every manicure / pedicure I've gotten has been high quality. The option for nail art, chrome and different types of French is also really fun. I love that the products are natural, and the overall vibe is the salon is very relaxing and high end. Perfect place for some self care and a glass of wine or tea. read more

Absolutely agree with the review below - Rosslyn really needed this nail bar! I had an uptown girl pedi with Van this evening and it turned out absolutely amazing. Van was super gentle, friendly, accommodating, and thorough! The owners and staff are super dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and top quality nail services. One of the owners found out that my birthday is tomorrow and gave me a sweet treat to help celebrate! Also important to mention that the salon only uses non-toxic products!! Will definitely be returning for more services in the future! read more

Clean salon with excellent service! My nail tech was efficient, yet very detail oriented. My nails look gorgeous.

Great service. Great staff. Reasonable price. Fun environment. Awesome experience. I highly recommend visiting Paint.

Excellent Service, & nails look fantastic! I love that it is also a fume free environment & ofsparkling water. The vibe is relaxing.

I made an appointment on Monday when the store was closed (per the website) I later found out that I could not attend and called first thing Tuesday morning (the day of my appointment). I was told I would be charged unless the spot was full. I explained I could not call because they were closed on Monday. The response was that they monitor the phone and email. I explained that I would not know that by the website. I asked if they would take my call at midnight when they are closed and they said no becuase that is not business hours. I then asked how would I know that if it says closed that they would monitor then. There was not an answer for that. I asked for accomodation and grace to reschedule as I had an unavoidable conflict and I was told no. I understand that they need to protect their staff but I made the effort to try to adjust within the boundaries of the business being closed on Monday (as how am I supposed to cancel). I called first business day of opening. I will dispute the charge with my credit card company and find a new nail salon. read more

Paint Nail Bar - Gel-x medium length almond shape - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The service I experienced today is the reason why I am willing to drive an extra twenty to forty minutes to go to the other Paint location in Annapolis. During a visit several weeks ago, I purchased a membership after having a pleasant conversation with, whom I believe to be, the owner. I returned for a mani/pedi two weeks later and gave them another chance to do a gel manicure after the first chipped badly within just one week. This time my Dazzle Dry pedicure chipped in just 3 days. I looked on their website to schedule a nail repair appointment and found one at 3:15 pm today (Friday), but decided to call to see if I could come in earlier to avoid getting caught in traffic. The receptionist insisted that I'd have to wait until Tuesday for an appointment. What sense does it make for me to wait 4 more days to fix a bad polish job that chipped after just 3 days? What makes even less sense is that there were at least eight 10min repair appointments online that I could have booked before Tuesday! This is senseless, unappreciative service and I choose to only support businesses that show their appreciation of me by, at the very least, making some effort to show that my satisfaction means something to them. Membership canceled! I had really hoped things could work out with this location. Unfortunately, the combination of a lack of quality assurance and insulting customer engagement has forced me to move on. *****Update: I appreciate the response, but let me be clear. I was NOT expecting special treatment, nor am I basing my review on not being able to come in at the time I had initially requested (i.e. 1pm vs the 3pm I could book online). I am familiar with how the company works by appointment only and that's actually one of the features I appreciate. I had nail polish chipped on one big toe, which I explained to the receptionist. I also explained to her that I looked online for a 10min nail repair appointment and saw several available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday; however, she INSISTED that the earliest I could come in would be on Tuesday... to repaint my one big toe. She was being unnecessarily unaccommodating for no apparent reason. I cannot justify signing up to regularly shell out money to any company that feels like that's an appropriate way to treat any guest, let alone a "member". read more

As much as I wanted to love this place, it was not worth the price at all. The overall vibe of the space is very aesthetic and fun, however the service sucks and my manicure chipped 3 days after getting it done. The desk receptionist was beyond rude and demeaning to my friend and I, as we may have not looked as if we "belonged". We also had a few issues with our appointment, and the manager just sat in the back and watched without intervening once. I watched them tend to probably 5 other costumers, because these were the people that were regulars. I did not book a nail appointment to be made to feel as if I on the outs of an exclusive country club. I will never come back to this location, nor any of their other locations. Would recommend Keen in Clarendon 100 times over, before going back to this place. read more

This is a nice, upscale nail salon. I booked a regular mani/pedi and the technician did a nice job. However, it took two hours. And I had nothing on my nails to begin with. I paid the upcharge for dazzle dry which regularly lasts ten days. It chipped on the corner two days later. The owner reached out to me to ask for feedback and I gave her the feedback I am writing here and she never responded ‍ There are other salons for less money that last longer. read more

First impressions are everything. I called this evening to make an appointment for a manicure and pedicure. While they were fully booked, Kevin was so very polite and professional as told me about the salon's philosophy on natural nail care products. When I can get my act together to book in advance, I'll certainly be trying this salon. read more

Beautiful place lovely staff and the highest quality pedicure I have ever had. This place is exceptional

I went ten years without going to a nail salon because I hated everything about the experience (especially the constant smell of chemicals). I also felt it was money out the window since I'd muck my nails up minutes after leaving the place. Then a friend told me and Paint Nail Bar. What a game changer! Paint's diverse team is incredibly nice, they do fantastic work, there is absolutely no odor in the salon (the space is lovely) and you can enjoy a complimentary mimosa during your visit. I also get gel polish on my hands so my nails look beautiful for a long time. I've been to both the Arlington and Annapolis locations several times and highly recommend them both. read more
