I'm new to the area and for my first visit I was a walk-in. They couldn't help me right away but they called someone to come in. I went to have a bite at The Diner and came back. Had a great pedi and I found their price quite reasonable compared to other prices in the area. It was also a very clean environment. read more

A great experience with Q nails and Spa.They do sea salt and mint mask for a regular pedicure with only $22. They also have a good collection of gel color. Staffs are friendly and professional. I would definitely come back for my gel manicure and spa pedicure. This is the best place in DC with a reasonable price. read more

Q Nails & Spa - Great gel filling with Mai. My nails look fabulous. - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Favoring nail salon in the city. A step above the no-frills salons and they do a fabulous job.

Oh I just love it here, Tommy has been taking care of me for almost 10 years now. I have followed him to every salon he's moved to. This one is the best! It's always clean, they have sports games on the TVs, everyone is so incredibly sweet, the pedicure chairs are soooo comfortable and their prices are the best around especially for the quality. Tommy always does a PERFECT job. The few times in the passed couple years that he has been on vacation, anyone else who helped me also did a great job. I love it here! I wish I had the money and time to go every two weeks like I used to! P.S. Tommy does great gel acrylics and if you ask him to do them really thin, he does and they look so real and beautiful and still don't break even after a month (yeah I've kept them on that long before :/ lol ) and the free-hand designs are awesome and the massages are great! read more

Clean, quick 2nd floor studio with friendly techs and good prices. Neighborhood gem! Also, right now they have a great Holiday Special - $30 for mani/pedi! Not sure how long it lasts, but there is usually a big sign or front when they run deals. read more

So affordable, professional, and lovely decor. I really like this place. I come here for special occasions. The best I have ever been to since 2013. read more

I'm always happy with the outcome of my nails... The pedicures are a bit rushed but OK. However I've never been so disrespected by any business workers in my life! I walked in sunday evening 10 mins before 5p completed unaware they were closing in 10 mins. They only had three techs, so the business owner asked if I could come back the next day. I kindly told her I could not because I'd be occupied doing other things. She said "ok the wait will be about an hour." Of course she told me that thinking I'd walk out, but I told her I'd wait an hour. Ok no problem, until an hour came up and two of three techs were free. The two just went about cleaning and closing their shift as if I wasn't even there. I asked "is anyone going to see me?" To make it a long story short I ended up saying a few choice words to them because they were so wrong for not acknowledging or seeing me that day. I was so upset that I wanted to vandalize the place but I quickly thought about the consequences and thought to myself it wasn't worth it. Instead I'll never patronize them ever again and I'll just spread the word on how unprofessional and unfair they treated me. In fact a Caucasian customer walked in around the same time I did, and was getting a pedicure and wax, and they serviced her. I only wanted a polish change. You see where I'm going with this..?? No everything isn't about race but I sure felt it in this instance. read more

I REALLY wanted a reasonably priced facial, and couldn't find another place in my 'hood but Q. My facial, for what I paid, was great. I've even been back for a second one. Granted, I only pay $35, but it's well-spent. Really good for when I need a quick pick-me-up. My sense is the man who botched my manicure is an outlier, but still, I'm too scared to go back for a mani because of him. So I'm not a total hater anymore Q, but still--beware of an older male nail technician!! read more

Just had my second fantastic pedicure at Q! Great salon with brand new fixtures and massage chairs and a spa feel. They opened up new equipment for my pedi and took their time even though I arrived late. I'm texting everybody I know about them! read more

Love this place! Awesome service and amazing manis/pedis :) I always come here and never wait for my appointment. They use fresh clean sanitized utensils each time and are so sweet and professional. Every service is reasonably priced and the service is great! Been coming here for 5 years and will continue to for years to come. They are the best! Highly recommend! read more

Q Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I walked in on Saturday morning at 11am and got into a pedicure chair right away. The pedicure ($22) was fantastic and the employees were incredibly friendly. The salon is small and clean, and the view of AdMo is fantastic. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I love Q Nails. I've been coming to this salon every couple of weeks for over a year. The place is always clean, well-lit and nicely decorated. The techs are polite, efficient, and quiet. They maintain a great selection of gel/shellac colors. I always get my nails done with Tommy - who does a fantastic job. His gel/shellac manis last the longest I've ever gotten, and he actually paints the entire nail. They have comfortable massage chairs for pedis. I think the prices are fair for DC and the location. read more

I loooooove this place! Tina always does a great job with my full sets & pedi. Perfect lines every time. I do wish they were better at designs like ombré or more rhinestones as I prefer statement nails. Their gel mani lasts a really long time as well!! Definitely recommend every since time!! read more

Q Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Q nails is a very affordable and great place to get your nails done. The technician I see, Tommy does a wonderful job with full set and fill ins. He is also very good at giving you the shape that you want. I have been going there for over the past year and i have never been disappointed. read more

Q Nails & Spa - Full set with gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

I usually don't write reviews but I felt it was necessary to say this. I have been a student at Georgetown for 3 years now and have never trusted another salon since being in DC. Compared to nail salon prices in the Georgetown area, Q nails is great. I had been seeing one person at the salon, Lynn, who just left at the end of last summer (July 2016). She was perfect and I never had to watch over her or correct her work, she always knew what to do! After she left, however, everything has gone downhill. Sometimes Tommy would do my nails, but most of the time Tina would take care of me after Lynn left. Every time I would come, I would lose a nail (I get full set acrylic EVERY time) literally within 24 hours or the next day! When I would call to complain, they always told me to come back in and they would fix it for me. At first I appreciated this kind gesture, until I realized that EVERY 2 weeks I would go to get the same thing and within 2 DAYS EVERY TIME I would have to come back for a repair! Ridiculous! I would also get pedicures and nearly every single toe would be chipped in 2 days as well! At first I thought it may have been because of the shoes I wore or maybe even how I active I am - until I realized that it was because the technician would sloppily put clear polish on my entire foot, causing the entire toe nail polish to come off after it dried. If you feel like directing someone on how to do the most basic tasks the entire time while getting your nails done, I suggest Q Nails. It was really stressful how closely I had to monitor the technicians just to get a decent full set. And if you get your nails and feet done every 2 weeks you would feel the same way (also if I come that often how don't you know what I like yet??) But I have heard the place around the corner, DIVAS, is better so ill try there next time. read more

The worst service I have ever had anywhere in my life. Been goi g to Tommy for 3 years. He goes on vacation and his so called sister takes over. First time I went to her she argued that they dnot have Matt finish topcoat. When I knew they did as I've used it the last year she refused to get up and even look I ended up asking another girl to help me. On my second visit she was late as I made an appointment as well as she argued with me over the price and what I needed to have done my nails are very thin because the first time I went to her she bought them way too thin. I will never enter Q nails again. I actually got up while she was taking my polish off and left because she was so rude read more

Decided to check this place out since it's near my apartment and had among the best ratings. I'm very pleased with my regular mani/pedi. The place is nice inside and clean & the massage chairs are quite comfortable. The woman who did my nails was very sweet and took great care in getting them right. Will very likely go back! read more

I've been coming to Q nails for years now, I love the service that my nail technician provides and the quality of care to each individual customers, however at times I'm not able to come the days my nail technician is there and she make it her priority to accommodate me on her days off! So now I need to go out of town Thursday and need to come on Wednesday on her day off, which I do often, and now the nail salon manager has stated, no one can work on there day off! This is bad customer service and if the Nail Technician wants to accommodate their customers with that awesome services, they should be able to! The Salon manager is also very nasty and rude and mean! I'm a loyal customer and I needed to voice my opinion. Thanks read more

This place is really great. Clean, friendly, inexpensive. They have obviously spent time and money into making their shop attractive and welcoming. The service is perfect--I'm not always a chatty person, so they read me well; if it seems like I just wnat to zone out while getting a manicure, they leave me alone. If it seems like I want to chat, they're happy to do that as well. One of the nicest things I've found is that they don't try to upsell me. Almost every nail place I've gone to (EVER) tries to get me to wax my eyebrows, get a more expensive manicure, whatever--and I've never had them do this. They do quality work for great prices and they are just friendly and it's a cute place. I've been to Joy's, I've been to the places down the street, places in Dupont--this shop blows right by them. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's tough to find a place like this in DC. Let's keep them in business! read more

OMG! I love this place. It is like a palace. They have a nice view and great service. They have so many colors and are very respectful to customers like me. =) I still feel very relaxed from my manipedi. I will be one of their regulars and will be here a lot because I love this place so much! They have cheap prices and I highly recommend this place, much better than the other places I've been to. Come here if you ever feel stressed. I can't recommend this place enough. Come to Q Nails and Spa and you will see what I mean. read more

I've actually been to Q's twice now: once for a Shellac and the second time for waxing (Brazilian and leg). The Shellac manicure was very nice; it is a clean, nicely decorated salon with great customer service. The second time I found myself stuck in DC overnight (I live in VA but work in the District), and desperately searching for a place who could squeeze me in, no small ask for a Friday evening. They took me even though they were closing in 15 minutes. As far as body waxing goes, their prices are very reasonable and I'd say they did a good job (A-). The next time I'm in the area and need anything, it will definitely be my go-to. read more

I've been to Q Nails multiple times and have never had a bad experience. I love the way they do my eyebrows, and nails. One some days they even have complimentary bottles of water, which I thought was a nice touch. Great service, great prices and location. read more

I usually go to a nail salon by my house in District Heights. Since I was in the Adams Morgan area I decided to give Q nails & Spa a shot. I picked them among st other in the area because of the price, which i thought was reasonable and cheaper then where I usually go. I went in for a pedicure and a polish change, I was seen very promptly. The mani chipped off rather quickly, which is to be expected if you wash dishes almost everyday. However the pedicure lasted me 3 weeks, I am planning on going back this weekend to get them done again. It's worth it and I recommend them. Oh and they have a great selection of nail polish, a whole lot to choose from. read more

I've been going to this shop for a couple years now. I don't even mind which technician I get at this point, I love them all. Tommy is my new fave though! The shape I get is pretty difficult for most technician's to achieve, but no one at this shop has a problem. They are getting pretty popular, so if you don't like waiting make an appt. Everyone is friendly and quick, I just love it here. I've got all of my fiends going at this point, you'll be happy too! read more

Best nail place in DC, hands down. My polish always looks great and they do a wonderful and detailed job in terms of making sure your heels and cuticles are kept in order. Gel nails are a good deal too! read more

They are the worst. My last four visits have been terrible. The quality is always great but their customer service is terrible. I came in twice and was told I would have to wait 15 minutes and both times it took over 40 minutes, and I am not exaggerating. There was even a visit where I made an appointment and had to wait 30 Minutes for someone to do my simple manicure. The final visit pissed me off because the guy who was supposed to do my manicure kept playing on his phone and drinking coffee and looking at me. Then when I finally got up to walk out the door he was ready for me. Their customer service is not catered to black people so I would suggest you not go if you're black. I am so upset because I have recommended so many of my coworkers and friends here and their service sucked! Don't go here! read more

I was up early today looking for a nail shop to get a mani and pedi. Stop at 2 shops only to find out they were closed. I stopped at L & Q Nails in Avon and had the best customer experience ever. If you are looking for a nail shop that is clean and looking to be treated like you are appreciated, calli John at L & Q Nails. John is awesome very professional and cares about the customer. I'm so glad God placed me at this shop, thanks John for starting my day off in a positive way. FYI call to make an appointment that's how awesome he is. read more

My first time there was wonderful! Don't remember the lady name but she has a lazy eye(not being rude) just trying to describe her.. Anywho she did great on my gel mani and pedi. The second time was 2 weeks ago she wasn't there ( bummer) so this guy did it.. And it was horrible. When he was cutting around my cuticles on my toes I didn't feel nor see what was he fake cutting off. I asked him why I don't feel it he said he don't wanna cut me ok whatever . Also when he was painting and putting my foot under the uv light he seemed irritating because he was pushing it to close to my toes and had to paint some over several times. Very disappointed at the end when it comes to putting the oil on your feet when done he barely touch my foot, like he didn't want to do it. Also didn't offer the dirty reusable slippers to put on my foot to walk to the station to get my nails done. Ok so I finish rubbing the oil then put my own shoes on. The pedicure was ok despite the fact that I can see light under the polish like it wasn't enough . So he had to put another coat and it made it look thick . Only good outcome was the brow wax! Oh he was looking like he was going to get a tip yeah I tipped alright rolled my eyes and left out the door.. 60 dollars for disappointment.. Gtfoh save your money! Won't be retuning. read more

This place is great - reasonably priced, cute decor, and fantastic mani/pedi!

I've been going here for four years consistently even after moving across the city. I love this place! They're one of the most decently priced salons I've seen in the city without trading in quality for price. They take their time and really take pride in their work. I always leave satisfied and relaxed. I recommend them to all of my friends. read more

Tommy is the best kept secret in DC. He does my acrylics every three weeks and they look so amazing and so natural, no one ever knows they're fake. I think the first set is somewhere between $23-30. I would definitely recommend him. They've always been very accommodating of me as a walk-in but I also usually come in before 5:30 during weekdays. Plus they always have ESPN on, which is awesome. read more

Pretty environment, attentive staff, good pedicure, excellent gel manicure and reasonable prices.

If you can get an appointment, go. They are kind, thorough, consistent across technicians, and clean.

I have been here 3 times since moving into the neighborhood and I've had only good experiences. I get the spa mani/pedi for $32, and they are typically able to take me right away, even if I don't make an appointment. They do a great job with my nails and I will definitely be a regular. read more

I almost didn't want to write a review because I want to keep this place my own secret! It's never super busy, but they do a wonderful job and are extremely affordable. I have yet to find a place that does a better job, even at the more expensive salons I've been to. I'm a regular customer here and have no plans of changing! read more

This is my favorite nail salon ever. I usually get a gel mani and they not only do a great job, but they're also reasonably priced. They have a good color selection, too. They do get busy sometimes so try to go early in the week to avoid waiting. They also do a great job on eyebrows. read more

What an amazing experience! Walked right in (hardly waited) and they apologized multiple times for the wait. It was so calm and relaxing, the massage chair was incredible, and only 22 dollars for an amazing pedicure. I've paid way more for pedicures that were rushed and sloppy. I'm so happy I found this place! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure I was okay with the water, towel temperature, foot scrubs, etc. I will definitely be back!! Thank you!!!! read more

This place does a great job and prices are low compared to others in DC ($32 for a good mani pedi). Highly recommend!

I've been going to Q Nails forever and I just live it! Everyone at the shop are friendly and welcoming. I get my nails down by Tommy and he is the best. Every time I go for my appointment we is ready to go and ready to help me pick a color ( I never know what color to get on my nails). The beat nails salon in the DMV area. read more

This is the place to go !!! Everyone is so friendly. The ambiance is peaceful and everything is beautiful and very clean. You are well taken care of and the prices are great. read more
