I stopped in for the first time a few weeks ago. I'd been going to Only Nails (next to Target) but…read morethe last few times, my nails started lifting after just a week and my shape looked a little wonky. I read a few reviews and took a chance with Mike. He did a great job! He did a thorough file down and fill in and the shape and design are exactly what I asked for. Cosmo is more expensive than Only Nails but I'm really happy with the results. Fingers crossed there's no lifting! I went back 3 weeks later (there was no lifting after 3 weeks!!!) and the experience was even better! Lolo (the manager) is fantastic, Rose gave me possibly the best, most relaxing pedicure/ massage I've ever had, and once again, Mike gave me a gorgeous full-set mani!

This salon is located inside of Forestville mall near the Target. It's a hit or miss here, nothing…read morespecial here just like most other nail salons. The employees are pretty nice and only half speak English per usual. I only use 2 techs when I visit Only Nails---Daisy, and I don't know the other ladies name, but she sits directly across from Daisy. They both comprehend very well---I like that. I have yet to get someone who can do a good pedicure. For some reason none of them seem to speak English---which is a bit frustrating. They keep some music videos on the TV for entertainment, which helps you get by. Prices are ok, and since the salon is located inside of the mall, the salon has mall hours. So, it stays opened later than your average shop.

I like to patronize minority business. I look for them specifically…read more I can't remember where I found out about this salon, but I'm glad that I did. Located in Capital Heights, at my first appointment, it was kind of hard to spot. Be aware of the parking, as some of the spots are assigned. Upon walking in, use the door on the right to access the nail salon. Appointments are made online, and Tenecia prefers that appointments are made at the half hour only. No problems there. Nice selection of colors to choose from, and the place is clean. I noticed that Tenecia takes the time to clean the bowl in between clients, which I totally dig. Also, she uses new new tools, like emery boards, and buffers for each person. My first appointment was a gel mani (with designs of course) and a pedi. Let me tell you, it was one of thee best pedicures that I have EVER had. She is absolutely excellent at what she does. I loved the gel manicure as well, because she actually does a manicure; you know soaks the hands, trims the cuticles, massage, and the like. She totally takes her time. My nails were shaped beautifully, and they actually grew! Woop! My only issue, is that my mani didn't last as long as I would have expected, but that could totally be me, because I'm super hard on my nails. Oh, another plus is that she totally accommodated me (in between clients) when I chipped my toe...see uber hard on my nails. No matter here though; because, my services were done well, and it is fairly priced. I will definitely be returning.

Today was my first time visiting this place. After reading the reviews, I knew I would need to…read moremake an appointment. Since slots fill up fast, I went ahead and booked for the rest of the year. I needed to find somewhere that was preferably black owned since the other place I found took entirely too long. The parking is very limited and the lot is kind of tight. There's a parking lot on the other side, so I parked there and walked the short distance over. The inside of the shop isn't very big. However, it wasn't crowded, so I think it wouldn't be a problem. Also I wasn't positive as to how to book nail designs, but Tenicia explained with no problem and now I know what to do when scheduling. Even with this, she was still able to accommodate me within my appointment time. I really appreciated that. I read a few reviews about Tenicia's attitude, but I didn't have an issue. She wasn't talkative, but I wasn't really looking for that. She came off as professional and cordial and that was perfectly acceptable in my book. I really enjoyed the service and the work was awesome. The work was fast, but high quality. After 10 long years, I think I found my spot. https://www.styleseat.com/teniciaingram?utm_campaign=email_profile_User

*sigh* I hate to see…read moretalented people with poor business skills. It's the little, manageable, correctable things that crush them in the end. Working sporadic days/hours, not having a formal way to book an appointment (playing text tag and waiting days for her to check her schedule and get back to me with a date/time she's free is unacceptable)... that's the quickest way to lose a customer. This is the era of SquareUp and similar apps.. I was going to recommend that she look into it, but during one of my appointments, another client beat me to it. Her reply was that she didn't want people to have that much access to her. But....it's. your. job. Why wouldn't you want clients to have access to you? Block off the times that you are unavailable and let your customers choose from there. Simple. It's not like we're trying to come over and hang out at your house. We're trying to give you our money. What's the problem? At one point, it took over 2 months to get an appointment. I tried to make an appointment before Thanksgiving and did not actually get it until the end of January. To be fair, she finally scheduled appointment for 6 weeks after my fill in, but got sick the morning of, and told me she would reschedule...but she never did. She also has no color palette for customers to check out, so instead we have to play a guessing game of 'What color do you want?'. In the 17 years that I've been getting my nails done, I have always determined what color I want by looking at a color palette, and it would save us both so much time if I could make that decision while she's doing my nails as opposed to trying to figure it out when she's ready to polish. I recommended that she get one several times, but she just shrugged off my suggestions. What's really frustrating about this whole process is that as great as my nails look after finally getting the appointment, the polish starts chipping within 48 hours. I'm not sure if it's because the polish is watered down, a problem with the UV lamp she uses, or maybe because she doesn't use base coat. I don't know.  All I know is that rarely have I gone more than a week without my nails looking like I've had the polish for over a month. At one point, it was so bad that several of my nails were bare by the time I got to her for a repair. Not a fill-in: a repair in between fill-ins. The polish peeled off like the foil on a can of Pringles. If it's that hard to get a fill appointment, imagine how much harder it is to get an appointment for polish change. Instead, I have to go to one of my neighborhood nail salons and pay another $20 to $30 for a polish change (and *gasp* those salons actually offered color palettes, so I can actually see the polish colors I want! Go figure!). The last time she did my nails, one of them broke within the first 2 hours (and since I have evening appointments, there was no way I could go back and get it fixed because the salon was closed). The next day I had the chance to look at them in broad daylight and noticed that the acrylic was unusually thin, and that some of my nails did not have enough acrylic on the edges/corners (the sides of my natural nails were poking out from the underneath the acrylic.) No doubt, the girl is talented, but the quality and consistency is not there, and she's just not serious about her business... and that's really a shame. I've been wearing stiletto nails for about 5 years now and she has definitely done some of the best work I've had, in terms of nail shaping. However the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. There are too many Asian-owned nail salons that also do really good work, and I'm no longer willing to exert the extra effort to support the business of someone who doesn't value my business or my money or time enough to provide quality and reasonably accessible services.

I visited this nail salon because my regular nail technician was out of town and I needed service…read more I had four nails that had lifted and required proper repair. The technician, a young Asian young lady who sat in the back on the right hand side, who assisted me displayed behavior that I found unprofessional, nonchalant, and dismissive. Having had my nails done for over 30 years, I am very familiar with how nails should be prepared, secured, and repaired, as well as the level of skill and sensitivity required when a client presents with discomfort or lifted nails. Unfortunately, her approach lacked the care, attentiveness, and professionalism I have consistently experienced elsewhere. As a result of the nails not being properly secured, they began lifting again within two weeks. I was concerned that my natural nails--of which I have all ten--might break due to the inadequate repair. Experiences like this can negatively impact a business that otherwise has the potential to be both successful and profitable. If I choose to return to this salon in the future, I will not allow this particular technician to work on my nails again.
