Had my first visit today and will definitely be going back. Mai was my nail technician and she was exceptional! Thank you!

REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted to love this place... It's close to home and they have great reviews. Unfortunately, my first experience BLEW. First off, the receptionist is very sweet, attentive, and provided good color suggestions. She directed my friend and I to the back for 2 pedicures. The nail techs sat us across from each other, instead of beside each other... that kinda defeats the purpose of a girly nail date (that we made an appointment for), but OK. I had KIM, and I won't be using her again. She cut my toenails super short and uneven (without asking if I'd like them cut down), and did a VERY measly job of cleaning out the dead skin around my toes. She quickly started to move on to the foot scrub/lotion part, and I had to stop her and let her know that she didn't get all the excess skin to which she replied, "I did that already," and proceeded to quickly rub the lotion into my skin. Because I'm on my feet all day for work, excess buildup starts to hurt. A good pedicure takes care of that... but I could still feel the pain in her chair. Also, while painting my nails, she forcefully used her nail to scratch the excess paint on my skin as opposed to dipping a brush in acetone and correcting mistakes that way. WHO DOES THAT? I wasn't happy with her halfass service at all. I made sure I let the receptionist know, and she took my number down so a manager could contact me. I really hope this happens... I feel like I could use another pedicure already, and I can't wait til my nails grow out. They just look awful. :( I will be willing to try Present Nail Spa again in the future because they seem to have a lot of happy & returning customers. I'll update my review upon doing so. Fingers crossed I get someone actually great this time. read more

Don't waste your time & money in here it's not worth trying!!! Had a french gel service done here, the white tip started fading on its 3rd day. My Service tech Emily & T didn't know how to listen to what their client want they kept insisting what they think is right.. Tried it second time and still did a horrible job. Will never come back to this place and will tell my friends not to go here anymore. Very unprofessional handling guests complaint, they said they will fix it without any cost but still charge me $52 the quality of work they do is definitely not worth paying for. No customer service. read more

Stopped by for the first time, very nice and professional personnel, clean and calming environment. Will definitely be back.

The tech: I've been following Nikki for the last 12 years...she's that good. I originally found her in 2005 and this is my 3rd and by far best salon I've followed her to. Everyone that I recommend to her becomes a permanent customer. Not only does she do flawless nails, but my eyebrows are always perfect after a wax. My best friend is an esthetician and would wax me for free, she's good too, but I still pay Nikki to do them. The Salon: The salon is always clean, staff is always friendly and professional, huge selection of nail polish and gel colors, complimentary tea and water offered, they have two types of wax - one for if you have sensitive skin - so be sure to tell the staff so they know which to use, flexible with appointments, standard paraffin wax and hot stone massage with pedicures and just hot stone with manicures, and they offer small reduction in price if you pay cash (I think it's 5%, but not completely sure of the discount). I totally recommend this salon as well as Nikki to anyone looking for impeccable nails and waxing services. read more

I had an appointment with Vivian for manicure and pedicure today, since my manicurist was on vacation .when I saw her I explained that I have couple of ingrown toe nail I was referred to her by a friend for that purpose , she said ok then she didn't take care of ingrown nails because she didn't want to put any effort . My regular manicurist always able to help me because she takes her time and she tries, it's not an impossible task, and I always pay her big tip. Finally I said why you didn't want to help me, she Rudely said go to a doctor, I just got up very disappointment with her obnoxious comment and left. Other employees there apologized for her behavior toward a customer, she is awful , don't choose her to do your nails. read more

I found a groupon deal for this place to get eyelash extensions for 50% off the regular price so I decided to check it out. First off, my wedding is this coming weekend and I was recommended to get eyelash extensions to make my eyes pop in photographs. I was VERY worried about getting eyelash extensions because I was reading reviews of all different places around here and they were mostly negative like saying how the eyelashes immediately fell off, how it didn't look good, etc. But since I needed it, I risked getting it at a place where I couldn't find any eyelash reviews anyways. When I walked in this store, everything looked clean, neat, and organized. The front desk lady directed me to the back room where I would be getting my eyelashes done. I waited there for a minute by myself and then the eyelash lady came in (forgot her name but she was amazing.) She explained the process to me and showed me her lashes because she got them done as well. The process took about two hours to do and no, it didn't hurt. I was actually sleeping majority of the time. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and LOVED them. Today's my second day with them and they're still in tact and looks the same as it did yesterday. She warned me not to rub my eyes and to use q tips when I'm using makeup remover for the next couple of weeks. I uploaded a picture of my eyelashes extensions after it got done on this page so you can see for yourself. Definitely recommend this place and would go back in the future :) read more

Present Nail Spa - Eyelash Extensions - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

My friend and I went here today after purchasing an awesome Groupon deal. The nail salon is in the middle of a strip mall, near a deli and Staples, but don't let that fool you. The inside is very, very clean, stylish, and soothing- it doesn't have the chemical odor of many nail salons either. The staff were professional, friendly, and were very focused on their job. The mani and pedi were great, pain free and my nails were nicely painted. My only gripe is that the massage portion of the pedi was about 2 mins max and of the mani maybe 30 secs. The massage is everyone's favorite part and was definitely rushed. Present Nail Salon has the shortest massages I've ever had! Maybe I should have been *proactive* and asked for a longer massage, but honestly, I have felt a little weird doing that. So, the place is attractive, clean, professional, and does a great job (5/5 stars) EXCEPT for the super short massage part (1/5 stars for that). read more

I don't get all of the glowing reviews of this place.....I tried this place because of the Yelp reviews, but this time, not so consistent. Went here for a pedicure, only, and opted for one of the signature pedicures. It was NOT inexpensive (it was actually quite pricey for the quality of service I was given). Had an appointment and still had to wait (not cool). Was finally taken back to the bowl/chair. The lady scrubbed by foot so hard, it brought blood near the surface of my skin (but never came through the skin). I noticed it when I got home! REALLY?! In addition, a very sloppy job of polishing my nails was done (polish on skin, etc.). The massage and scrub felt great, but as far as the finished product, #FAIL. read more

Used a groupon. I made an appointment, was early and they accommodated me. Loved that it wasn't too crowded, though they might soon with all these positive reviews. Got service with Tracy - mani/pedi - she was friendly, a little rough couple spot, but nothing inappropriate. Only open 6 months, very clean, plenty of pedi and mani station. Prices, both individual and combos, are affordable, finally! read more

Meh. I have experienced better for sure. I had a living social deal so I thought I'd try this place out. The front desk people were very nice and I appreciate their quick assistance. But, when I got to the back, the woman who was doing my pedicure was so rude and I ended up leaving without finishing because she would not listen to a word I said. I told the nice people at the front I wanted just some polish and the nails trimmed. They said my living social deal gave me "more" but I was not interested in the whole lavender thing with scrub, foil wrapping etc. So I thought we had an understanding... JUST POLISH and TRIM NAILS. The woman in the back and I just had a communication issue I think. She wanted to use all this fancy stuff and I was just like, no thanks just the polish. But she kept insisting. I kept saying, no I just need polish, thank you. But then she'd say but you get this and that -- I just kept saying, Please, just POLISH. I don't understand why she was pressuring me to have all this other stuff done. So finally, after she insisted on scrubbing my legs with some weird goop that I already had said no to twice, I straight up said I was leaving because she was not listening to what I wanted. It was not the difficult. All I wanted was polish. I was very clear and I felt I was nicely explaining that... Like I said, I think it was just a miscommunication, but I assumed that when someone said please just put on polish and no fancy stuff that the other person would get that... but they didn't. Will not be going back. I have never walked out of a nail salon before in this fashion, just for reference - and I am not usually offended this easily, but this girl was just so rude and pushy!!! I don't need that! Again, front desk people were nice, that was it. read more

I have never had a disappointing mani/pedi, here. I always get the Shellac/gel manicure and I can go three weeks between visits as long as I pick a light color so the grow-out isn't too noticeable. They have OPI, Gelish, and CND polishes. I have had four or five different ladies do my nails and never noticed a difference in technique or end result. I can usually call and get an appointment with just several hours notice. The technicians are great at reading whether or not I feel chatty or not and have never been rude. I get pedi with my mani every couple of months, and they multi-task the polish removal with the beginning soak of the pedi, which is a nice time-saver. I would highly recommend this salon for price and service. A Shellac mani is $30 or $35 depending on the polish brand. I also get my eyebrows and lip wax here and have always been pleased. They use fresh, clean, individually packaged tools for each service, taken directly from the sterilizing cabinet. Oh, they can't put tips on the credit card, so be sure to bring cash for tipping. read more

I've been here 4 times in the past 2 years for a manicure. The staff is nice, and the place feels pretty clean, but my manicures from here *always* chip in less than 24 hours. The appeal of having someone else do my nails is so that they'll last longer than me doing them on my couch. But, while my nails always look nice when I leave, it's just not a high-quality job. I thought perhaps I just had bad luck with the polish or technician the first time or two, but that wasn't the case. Yes, I know I could spend twice as much for a gel manicure, but I really shouldn't have to in order for a manicure to last 3-4 days. read more

Cash for tips. Otherwise this place is great. I called and got an appointment same day. I went middle of the week in the afternoon and it was me and one other woman so the experience was quiet. The woman at the front taking appointments and payments was very kind and quick. Kim was my technician. She was very sweet and got to know me. The entire staff helped each other throughout the time I was there which was nice. It gave off a very good vibe. They have individually wrapped tools that get put back into a clean package and what looks like an autoclave-type machine for cleaning. There are plenty of chairs for manis and pedis. If your'e into watching TV, there's only one and it's viewable while getting a mani only. The entire place was very clean. I got the deep cleaning pedicure which was amazing. I have new legs and feet. My manicure was milk and honey, again, amazing. I also got bubble bath on my nails which is the gel nail. The prices are pretty good as well. They have combos if you check their website. Finding the place, kind of iffy. It's in the shopping center on W Broad St between the foot bridge and Long John Silver's. read more

It was Pretty good, but I went with friend and they didn't sit us together which was a semi downer. The present manicure which is the regular one was very good and looked great! I think I'll go back, but hopefully they're more friendly next time I visit! read more

The best nail salon ever!!! Very high quality work

This is my regular pedicure spot. I usually just get the standard pedicure but have also tried some of their specialty pedicures where they use lavender or tangerine salts and lotion. The pedi price is pretty standard for this area, can't seem to find any NY or LA priced nail salons around nova. However I do like Present, they are clean, always use new tools, and I never have to wait long when i walk in. The spa chairs are comfortable to relax and with a rolling back massage. All the technicians have been very sweet and thorough, working on dry skin areas and making sure my polish comes out neat. read more

Needed lashes and nicki gave me great ones. Im from California so its sometimes hard finding a place that does them the way i like. I found the saloon on yelp and took a chance she did a great job i usually get a little thicker but they are great will go back read more

Present Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I have been to this place a few times; introduced by a friend about a year ago. Each time I go I find that the service is consistent. Their receptionists are welcoming, understanding, and seemingly gracious. The environment is clean and comfortable, there are many new colors to choose from, and the technicians are pleasant and gentle. Recently, I got a gel manicure (have gotten them probably five times at this place.) Two days later I found my nails already peeling (peculiar since this type of manicure lasts about two weeks.) Long story short, I called (nervously) to see if they were willing to "assess" my situation and the receptionist didn't hesitate to help. She scheduled me to come in as soon as I was available and apologized for what had happened. When I got there, I was impressed again by how attentive they were to my retelling of my situation and their lack of judgement. The technicians admitted that it could have been the base coat and immediately started to make me feel comfortable rather than question what had happened. I walked out of there with brand new polish. I cannot stress how professional the staff were towards the situation. I highly recommend this place. read more

I absolutely love this place. Clean, bright, always friendly! They offer tea and water upon walk in, and have tons of colors to choose from. Their gel is also guaranteed to last at least two weeks, or they'll fix it for free. Mine regularly last at least that long, and I'm hard on my hands. Oh also, they don't take tip on cards so be sure to bring some cash with you. I just got back from getting a pedi done by Natalie. This is the best pedi I've had in a looong time. At $32, she did an amazing job, and I will keep coming back! read more

Present Nail Spa - Fantastic pedi by Natalie! Best I've had in a very long time. - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

This is one of the best salons that I've been to in Falls Church, and my standards are rather high coming from NYC. I have found my go to place! The nail salon is very clean, and everyone is so nice there. They have a very extensive selection of nail colors. Also, they have the most amazing massage chairs. I highly recommend Nikki. You won't regret going there. read more

I usually come here to have manicure/pedicure and sometime waxing. It is not only because it is close to my house but also this is the best salon in Fall Church I would say. Whenever i come here, I feel very relax and comfortable. This salon is very tidy and spacious. The new and modern pedicure chair is a plus. Moreover, staffs are very professional and helpful. They all do very good job. I will be definitely a frequent customer at Present Nail Spa. read more

Great friendly employees! They took care of me and a group of 6 girls including my 2 year old daughter when we came in for a pre wedding day mani/pedi party. They gave us a group discount and took care of us all in a well timed way. There was a mix of manis and pedis amongst us- they had some specials going on some of the spa pedicures and manicures that some of us took advantage of. I had my 5 month old with me that was being a bit fussy and my technician was very understanding and sweet about it! Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that some of the nail polish came off on my daughter's mani and pedi (the gold glitter she chose for her ring finger and big toes) and my sister in law's pedicure was chipping a bit. The gel ones we got all are looking good still about 5 days later! read more

Very clean and everyone there is nice and polite ! Defiantly returning :) Nikki is amazing and knows exactly what she's doing. read more

Present Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Love this salon! I went based on reviews, and I'll continue going back. I got fed up with my gel polish not lasting long enough from other salons, but this one actually lasted two full weeks and it remained shiny the entire time!! Hannah treated me to a very relaxing pedicure and great gel mani during my first visit! Also, the front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Plus, they have more gel colors than any salon I've been to in this area. The salon is clean, chairs comfy, lots of magazines, great massage pedi chairs, and Hannah is fabulous. I went back today for a second gel mani and she did a beautiful job again. I'm a new client!! read more

Randomly walked in to get my nail fixed because it broke over the weekend (I have pink and white) and was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a nail technician who was skilled and able to fix it. It's beautiful and I'm extremely happy! Nicole did a great job:) I will be back! read more

5 stars across the board for this place! Of course I have my favorite but all the girls are great. read more

Present Nail Spa - The ladies are still killing it, you must check out the new holiday colors. - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

After reading such great reviews, I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, it fell short. My pedicure felt rushed and the paint job was mediocre. The paint job was left uneven and some spots were missed. Hot stone was used but it was barely for a massage. Running hot stones over my legs does not equate to getting a massage. My nail tech was a really nice lady. Very sweet but failed short with giving a decent pedicure. 4/6/2018 After management reached out to me and had me come in for a redo, I left with a much better experience. Management greeted me when I sat down and apologized for the mishap from the day before. I was assigned a different tech and the results were night to day. She point out that my nails were uneven and that she was going to trim them. She then carefully re-shaped the uneven nails, gave me an actual massage and a new paint job. Before we were done, she also made sure that any paint that bled onto my skin were cleaned up. I will be going back and will be requesting for this tech. This was what I expected initially and am happy that management reached out. Thank you for your great customer service. read more

I have been a regular of Connie's for about a year now-and I will not let anyone but her touch my hands, feet or eyebrows EVER! She does SUCH a good job, is meticulous and so sweet. She remembers who you are, is great to talk to and gives a fabulous massage during your mani/pedi. She's really good with gel polish, which is also hard to find. The salon itself is clean and well kept, which is always a plus and the prices are GREAT for the area. read more

LISA!!! If you want a fantastic pedicure ask for Lisa. She is very thorough and gives an amazing massage!!! I've had other technicians and never a bad experience! I love how clean/sanitary this place is. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I've been coming here for over a year and will continue to keep coming. Also, try a Spa Pedicure so worth it!!! read more

I'm not a fan of chatty nail salons. I don't want to tell you about my life... I just want a pedicure. If you are like me... Present Nail Spa is the place to go! The salon is very well kept, the staff is friendly and well mannered. And you know what I mean by well mannered. They don't go digging into your personal life, or speak in another language to their co-workers) I went in without an appointment and I was seen right away. The receptionist promptly offered me a bottle of water. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I got just the basic Pedicure -- $25. It was fine.. I wish they would have scrubbed a little hard on the calluses (or used a calluses cutter). I've had better Pedicures else where, but on the environment alone, I would def. come back to Present Nail Spa. read more

I went here to get a regular pedicure and an SNS dipped manicure. The pedicure was just ok. She did cut the back of my heel with overzealous exfoliation. She also cut me at the cuticle of my big toe. 2 of the nails were cut/filed unevenly with a corner taken off and not smoothed out. The bigger issue was the dipped mani. The girl seemed unsure of what she was doing. It seemed she repeated steps already done several times. When she finished, there was residual powder covering all of my finger tips and cuticles. She told me to sit and let it dry. After 2 mins she said it was ready for check out. They all smudged while I was paying. The girls were very nice. They had me sit back down, buffed off the top coat and refinished the nails. I left with trepidation as the end result was very thick and not shiny with visible file marks. The next morning 2 nails had chipped. A complete waste of $45. I needed up going somewhere else and they took them all off and started over. Do not do dipped at the salon. read more

Clean and comfortable. I just happened to be in the area and randomly decided to get a pedicure. This place was right in front of me so I walked in without checking reviews. It didn't disappoint though. The tools are sterilized, the place is clean, and they have liners in their tubs. Price is not exactly cheap but is good for the area. The technician did a wonderful job. She was really quiet (which I didn't mind at all), but was very thorough. My pedicure a week later still looks amazing. read more

I had a great experience at Present Nail Spa! I love that this nail salon has only quality nail polishes: all Essie, OPI, Creative Nail Design, etc. And a wide variety of colors to pick from. They also offer OPI salon treatments, and lots of amazing spa manicure/pedicure options. The nail techs were extremely careful in polish application- they did a meticulous job. My pedicure was especially wonderful- I hadn't had one in quite awhile and my feet came out looking like I get pedicure each week! The staff were very professional and sweet. There is a nice, calm atmosphere in the salon. All the equipment is new and sterile- the nail tech took a new kit out of a sterile bag. And the salon is incredibly clean. Another STRONG positive: this place doesn't SMELL like a nail salon. Not once did I smell acetone and nail polish fumes like at most nail places. All in all- it is the perfect place to get a relaxing mani/pedi. They aren't the cheapest prices around, but I don't mind that. They do great work. And I go for a mani/pedi in part to relax and this place delivered on that as well! read more

I tried this place because of its high rating on yelp. I was not disappointed. I made an appointment but only because I couldn't go until within an hour of closing. There were walk ins while i was there & they were all happily greeted & served right away. I had a color change on my toes, shellac manicure, & first time brow wax. I worked with Connie. She was so nice & attentive with making sure the polish looked perfect. She did such a nice job I trusted her to give me my first eye brow wax. I'm very happy & made another appointment for a full pedicure before I left! read more

Kim is awesome! I love the way they do simple things like a color change. They buff your nails with oil so that your cuticle doesn't look dry. Makes a big difference in the long run. Kim's messages are great too! I'm a regular now! I have been looking for a longtime for a professional salon and I have finally found it! Best of Falls Church without a doubt! read more

Present Nail Spa - Great job Kim! - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

My friend introduce me to this salon even though it's not very close to my place. I have tried spa pedicure and gel manicure combo (I think they have many options to choose with reasonable price). I had 1 hour spa pedicure and it was amazing. The salon is clean and comfortable which is one huge plus (I like the liner come along with pedicure tub). There are so many choices of gell colors with different brands and collections. Overall, my first experience in Present Nail Spa was wonderful and I will definitely come back again and again. read more

My gf and I had group-ons to Present that we could use either for a mani/pedi or the Shellac manicure. We both decided to get Shellac because we were so curious about it. Not only did I love Shellac, I love this salon. As another reviewer mentioned its very clean but its also so quiet and zen. The staff is amazing and so nice not to mention they have complementary cookies AND nail polish. I live in Downtown Silver Spring but I'd definitely make the trek to VA ever couple of weeks for that kind of service. I also got my eyebrows shaped and they turned out fantastic! read more

I have been going to the same place to get my mani/pedi and brows for 6 years, but when I walked past this place several weeks ago, it looked so clean and the staff was so friendly (in a non-imposing way) that I just had to try it. Have already been back and will continue going regularly. I really like them for at least 5 reasons: (1) cleanliness, (2) great nail and brow technicians - neat, attentive and don't carry on conversations with each other over the clients, (3) wide selection of colors - from classic to trendy, (4) peaceful, pleasant, spa-like ambience; (5) great location in a Giant shopping mall - I can get all my grocery shopping (and CVS), and even pick up Chinese take-out from next-door. I did not expect to switch from my long-time nail place, but Present Nail Spa is my new neighborhood nail place. read more

So I called this place to make an appt. a couple of days ago, spoke with someone with very good English, I asked her to scheduled me with someone who does a good job w/ acrylic nails. She told me all techs are good, I told her well there has to be one or two techs that are better, she told me she can't showed favortism or anything and told me she would ask her Mgr., she puts the phone down and said: "This bitch on the phone is demanding and asked too many questions!" WOW!!! Great customer service! I just want to say...to the girl who called me a bitch, I am vietnamese and understood you! You wouldn't have a job if you didn't have customers BITCCCHHHH! read more
