Been coming here for years. The ladies are nice and remember us. Good prices and quality work.

My anxiety has done a major number on my nails. I've been bringing my daughter here for several months now because she loves the job and attention to detail of the technicians performing the dip. I decided to consult with Kim who suggested I opt for dip to help prevent my tendencies to pick, peel, and nearly rip my entire nail bed off my finger. Kim did a wonderful job. She was delicate, diligent, and understanding. She recommended a natural/light color and I love the result. As for the salon itself, it's clean. There is a great variety of polish, gel, and powders to choose from. The prices are quite reasonable for the attentiveness of the staff. I've never been here on a weekend or holiday but every time I've been here, it's been quiet and serene - like a spa. I love the soft sounds of the water fountain and they have a beautiful Christmas tree in the waiting area. read more

Rex Day Spa - Before and After - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Sooo I have been wanted to get my nails done for SO long. I've never been the type of girl to get her nails done every two or three weeks...But I do love having them done when I do. I got referred to Christina from a friend I knew and college and she was phenomenal! I got some SNS colored French tips (dip polish) & I was TOTALLY impressed at how gentle & precise she did it. She is deff a professional and you can tell she has perfected her craft in doing nails. I was also VERY impressed with the COVID precautions were taken. To be honest, in most of the places I've gone to; Whether they are restaurants, getting a massage, what have you, the precautions are not this high and I definitely appreciated that. * They have the door locked and won't allow you to come in unless you have an appointment (so the place does get crowded) * Hand sanitizer before touching the pen to write in their record keeping * Hand sanitizer again (when done) * Wash hands with soap * THEN go pick out your color I am so happy & I'll definitely be coming back next time I get my nails done read more

I've been coming to this salon exclusively for the last 6 months and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. All of the technicians are fantastic but Sophia in particular always surpasses my expectations and makes sure every detail of my service is perfect! The vibe is high quality, calm, and clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Tried to walk-in for 2 pedi's at 3p on Friday, and were told they couldn't take us. It appeared they had 5 people on staff and 2 of them were standing chatting. They asked us to wait to schedule an appointment, but 10 minutes later we were still waiting and the ladies were still chatting. We left without being helped and won't be back. read more

Fantastic dip manicures! Also they offer a great price point compared to other salons! I've gone back multiple times and they always do their best to accommodate even last minute. Helen is so friendly and manages the salon well!! read more

I am furious. This place is out of control. The front desk lady doesn't know what customer service is; she is simply so off putting. The front desk lady will stare at you while you are trying to have a relaxing pedi/mani and will treat you with utter disrespect. I came for an appointment ten minutes late and waiting an hour + to have them simply apologize that nobody could do my nails anymore. The front desk lady gave me attitude when I remarked that the service was unpleasant, and came too close to cussing directly at me. Never go to Rex Day Spa. Spa days shouldn't include nasty cashiers. read more

Just got my toenails done and I love them so much receptionist is so cute and helped me pick out my color- her name is Abby I think

They accommodated my sister and I even though we we were late for our appointment so that was nice of them. What we didn't realize was that they were going to rush the entire process and ultimately give terrible results. Just look at my gel polish nails which were done on 5/28/21. This review and photo was posted on 05/30/21. Not worth the cost of it. This is the quality received because we were late and it was a busy day. Had I known, we wouldn't have stayed. The worst part was another customer was waiting on her ride which she had called already. This customer is clearly an older lady in her late 80s with a walking disability requiring a walker. She was waiting on her ride and it was talking a while. They asked her multiple times if her ride was coming. I thought if it was out of concern for her until another nail tech lady said something along the lines, "Is your ride coming? Bc we can't have this many people in the store." I thought it was incredibly rude considering that customer appeared to be a loyal customer because she was coming back the next day for more services. And to be honest, how was that older lady going to make her ride be there faster? They clearly wanted the nail seat she was sitting on. That was big turn off. Shame on you. read more

My nails look gooood! 1. Lot cheaper than other places in chantilly, fairfax and alexandria. $50 for mani/pedi! 2. Not to sound bad...they actually speak english and engage in conversation. At least my girl did and so did a few others. 3. Give great advice and they don't rip you off. I have had my fair share of bs. 4. Verrry busy....best time to come are mornings right when they open and after 2pm. 5. There 3 types of nail polish- regular (chips easily -3days top if you wet your hands a lot) hybrid (chips in 7 days...vinylx..so far it's working!) & gel/shillac last about 2 weeks. 6. Great Service and clean. Tell them everything and they will listen. Water too hot, say it. Your skin sensitive? Tell them! Don't be afraid to kindly say stuff. They are there to serve you. =) Cons Parking is not the best My commute is far but worth the trip so far. read more

Rex Day Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I like Rex. So do a lot of other people, because whenever I go, (even during the day during my lunch because I work next door) they are always busy. Reasonable prices, nice techs, always do a good job. I'm a fan. read more

I haven't been to a salon in ages but I decided to get a mani pedi for a New Year Eve's party. Rex was recommended to me and I live close by so I decided to give them a try! Upon arrival, I was immediately welcomed and assigned to a technician right away (I went at an off-time). I've never gotten a gel manicure before but decided to go for it since it lasts longer. I was very happy with the results! My nails look wonderful and lasted for about 3 weeks with no chipping! As for the pedicure, I enjoyed the foot bath and calf massage. I definitely felt pampered! The pumice scrub made my feet feel so smooth after. I spoke with the manager after my appointment (I believe her name is Helen) and she thanked my for stopping by and encouraged me to come back. The customer service was awesome at Rex! I expect to return soon for my next mani pedi :) read more

Went in for a repair for 2 nails from a manicure I got from them last week. After explaining, they had a conversation in Vietnamese while I just stood there which I find a little off putting. She comes over to look and then asks me if I had an appointment. I've been going here since 2016 and have never once made or needed an appointment. I get if you're short staffed, then say that, don't make me feel ridiculous for not having an appointment for a repair. And it seemed like they didn't believe me when I told them I had the manicure there. She kept asking questions like she was suspicious and I was like ok can you just fix one that I broke. Still no. All these techs are women I've interacted with and see on every visit and they were treating me like I was trying to do something. Wouldn't even let me wait for the fix on one nail. Goodbye. read more

Highly recommend this salon for anyone as germaphobic as I am! First things first, the COVID precautions that were taken were very impressive. - They make you fill out a COVID waiver - It is by appointment only so they keep the doors locked to promote social distancing - Hand sanitizer and sanitized pens are provided - Disposable gloves are provided before touching the color samples - Each customer is encouraged to wash their hands throughout the service. Can't say enough about this salon's cleanliness and professionalism! Everything is also decently priced. I got the SNS on my nails and I loved how gentle my tech was! Super impressed with the service and hospitality. Will definitely be coming back. read more

it's clean and big. I used to love this place but my favorite technicians keep leaving. The last manicure I had there was a disaster. I haven't had good luck in several attempts to try someone else. Sadly I will look elsewhere. read more

*They raised their prices as of 7/1/17* he first time I came here I got a gel mani ($25) and I left unhappy. She didn't shape them properly and my dead skin wasn't cut. But I wanted to give them a second chance. I came back and asked for a gel mani, they raised their price to $30 as of July 1st. She told me that she would charge me extra ($5) for my broken nail because she wanted to put acrylic on it. Since I was already paying an extra $10 (normally used to $25) I figured I would get a full set because normally full sets are around $35. At this salon a full set is $50. AND I only got an acrylic overlay (no tips). My nails ended up being chunky, thick, uneven, and are painful (see pictures). She got the acrylic powder all over my skin and it BURNED. I told her so many times it was hurting and she kept saying "it's okay" and would just put alcohol on it. She kept using the buffer on my skin (very painful) and I had to ask her multiple times to clean underneath my nails because she just left all the acrylic there. My nails are so chunky and uneven, I'm so unhappy I spent $50 here. She didn't even clean around my nails. (See pictures - I took these immediately after I left the salon today) Please avoid this place. I'm sure the other nail techs are good but with all the nail salons in the area, this place isn't worth it (especially since they raised their prices) I recommend "indulge nails" right down the street. The do a good job and it much cheaper. I also thought it was unprofessional to wait till their customers were sitting down and already getting their service to then tell them that they raised their prices. They had a lot of unhappy regular customers. read more

It was our first and our last time at Rex Day Spa. It was a horrible experience. I've been battling with my health for some time now. Mini Spa days with my mom is our happy time. I had several doctor appointments that day. Let's just say it had been a long day. My mom didn't get to sit near each other. The nail tech cut my mom. We will never return to this salon. read more

I've tried using Rex day spa multiple times as it is super convenient to where I live. This last experience just solidified my decision to never go back. The technician, Kim, cut my finger in 2 places to the point where I was bleeding. She did not address this and continued working as if nothing happened. On top of that, she is so rough and rushes. Sadly, when I called to complain, all I received was laughter and giggles on the other side of the phone. I will not be going back. read more

Came in to get my gels (done out of state while on vacation) off and to have a regular manicure. If I wanted a 15-minute nail experience leaving me with uneven, bubbling polish and skin hanging off of my nailbeds, I would have done my nails at home. I came in, was rushed, and was clearly just a low-dollar placeholder taking up the tech's time. If you aren't coming in and spending more than $75, don't bother with this place. I have had great experiences in the past, but I'll be looking for another salon to go to from now on. Their service has drastically declined recently. read more

I've been going to Christina for a few weeks now and hands down the best in the area! Her skills are 10/10!! She always does such a good detailed job!! Prices are fair too. This has now become my go to nail spot in the area. Christina is the best!! read more

I've been going to REX day spa off and in for years. I used to live in the area and when I did, frequented Rex often for nail services. Now whenever I am visiting home and need something I always go to REX day spa. Helen the manager is awesome and she runs things very smoothly. Her staff execute their duties efficiently and keep things in time as much as possible. During busy days I would definitely recommend making an appointment. The space is very clean with ample seating and pedicure chairs. They also have waxing and massage services a available. With so many repeat customers they are doing something right. Every time I am there I always hear some familiarity in conversations. If you're in the Falls Church/McLean area check out this spa. read more

Have been going for over 10 years. Absolutely love Helen, Trish all the ladies! I would never go anywhere else!

I found rex spa back in January 2014 when I moved to the virginia area from NJ. Now coming from the east coat which has the best nail artists around, I couldn't find one here that was comparable.....But Helen is really meticulous and does pretty much what I ask for. If you're looking for great gel manicure at a great price this is the place! Like I said I am very particular with my gel nail art and she delivers every time! You can't beat the service or the price. I've tried other places just to see if they were as good or better, and had horrible experiences and had to pay almost double for a plain gel manicure! This is a great find! Now if I can just find a hair stylist as good as my NY stylist I'd be ecstatic! read more

This place has become my go to place in the area. I have never left disappointed. Make an appointment here... It's busy but they fit you in. The place is clean, friendly and make great suggestions with colors. I have tried different nail technicians in the shop and they all have done a nice job. As for waxing... I was impressed! My brows were shaped well and even. As for pricing, they are pretty reasonable. read more

I've been going here for about 2 years now and have gone to Christina for my gel mani and spa pedis regularly! I mean every two weeks, same time every Saturday. To start, the parking lot is shared with two other businesses - Elevation Burger and a distillery. This means that it can get quite busy as the day progresses. Out of the numerous times I've been there, I've only had to park around the corner once because I made a last minute appointment on a weekend day and the parking lot was packed. Anywho, the spa is pretty clean. There are tons of colors to choose from and they do match the gel polish to regular polish if you're not a fan of getting gels on your toes. To remove gel polish from your nails, they wrap your nails with aluminum foil and nail polish remover. HUGE plus for me because Ive gone places where they literally try and peel it off, which is definitely a no-no in the nail health department. I've brought my mother and sisters for a mini-spa day and haven't had any issues with any of the other nail techs. Very personable spot and everyone knows you by name. read more

I've been coming here for a few years since my nail tech at another salon left. I tried a few local places until Yelp brought me here. I've always left very happy with the look of my fingers and toes, and waxing services have been good. I've had my nails done by almost all the techs and they all do a really nice job. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The salon is clean and peaceful and the new pedicure chairs are fantastic! Parking can be hit or miss, so best to try and come first thing when they open, or later in the afternoon. They do take walk-ins, but I always make an appointment to ensure a spot. =) read more

Rex is the best day spa in the area, hands down. I live in DC and drive 20+ minutes to have my nails done here. I have been going to rex for over 4 years every 2-3 weeks and am extremely pleased by their services every single time. Helen has done my nails for years and she takes so much time to make sure I am happy with her service. Since they reopened during COVID their new salon is beautiful, clean, and they are taking all the necessary safety precautions and going above and beyond! read more

I had a rough couple of weeks and had been swamped with trying to start a new job and planning a wedding and I held out and tried to make an afternoon of getting my nails done to kind of treat myself. The lady rushed, did a horrible job, didn't put the same amount of coats on and didn't have me leave my nails in the UV lights...I'm supper bitter and annoyed because I really like the color (on the nails that have at least two coats) and I'm just really upset to have paid 50$ for this ... read more

Rex Day Spa - What is this!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I made an appointment for their special package for my birthday. They advised me on the phone that the procedures will take at least 3 hours so they suggested to take a these hours off.

They called me the evening before and told me that they are canceling my appointment because there won't be a technician that can have me ... definitely unserious business. read more

Great service. Friendly techs. Good prices. Beautiful decor. When I went, there was an issue next door where the construction had leaked fumes into the salon. We had to evacuate. The owner of the distillery shop next door was incredibly rude and belittling to the nail shop owner. He did come out and try to help figure out what happened but the way he talked to her was unapologetic and unkind. Distillery dude, you should be ashamed of yourself. This is not something that normally happens at this shop. They do amazing designs and have great personalities and are so helpful. Even though my first trip here got cut short due to the construction issues, I will make this place my new salon. The people are so good and so is their work. And it's a beautiful salon with good prices. What else can you even ask for? read more

I am usually extremely punctual. My son is having a celebration of his Covid year wedding this weekend. Needless to say I was 30 minutes late for my appointment with Holly. She was helping another client. She had me come back in 30 minutes and did a beautiful job on my nails. Thank you. read more

First time here since I was in the area. They did an okay job. I thought the lady who did my nails (she didn't even mention her name) was rushing and did a very sloppy job when it was time for the acrylic application. Luckily it looked fine at the end. She kept looking at other people while filing and buffing my nails which cause her to nick me and gave me more hang nails. I wish she paid more attention to where she was filing instead of being distracted with other customers. After she had finished buffing my nails, I ended up with hang nails on every finger. The paint job was okay, she noticed that she missed a spot and it looked faded but she didn't attempt to fix it. I showed her what kind of nail shape I wanted and she did good before the acrylic. At the end they were sloppy and I ended up not even getting the shape I wanted. Here's a picture of what shape/ length I wanted and this is what I got. read more

I have gone here before and not had a bad experiance except for being scolded by one of the women working there for in the past having fake nails put on and ruining my natural nails.. However, the second time I wanted to get a full uv gel tips (thats the fake nails, yes i wanted them again) I had a horrible time and I wont be coming back. The begining of the manicure was fine, but when she pulled out that little machine to quickly buff my nails it got extreamly hot from the friction and she burned my cuticules a few times, I have a high pain tolerance and I had to pull my hand back a few times from the pain. I was in discomfort through out the whole session because she made me extend my arms all the way over the counter instead of having them in a nautral position. Again she kept putting on different attatchments to the mahine and painfully buffing my nails in different ways and she even cut me twice on the side of my nail where it meets the skin with one of the pointier attatchements, my fingers are still in pain. She never once asked me if I prefer squared or oval tips, and she cut my nails too long, I had to ask twice for her to cut them down and I still think they are too long and too square. She also kept repeatedly stopping the manicure to talk on the phone and even ran out to her car for a few moments, highly unprofessional in my opinion. To top it all off when my nails were curing under the UV light she grabbed the same nail file that she used on me earlier and started filing her own nails infront of me, then used them on me again later once my nails were dry...thats disgusting and unhygienic. Now the whole pain thing isn't the thing thats persuaded me to write this review, it's the fact that before I went I made sure the price of the full uv gel set, which says $40 on their website. And I was originally charged $40 at the salon when I was done. But about 30 min after I left, they called me and explained that they had to charge me another $10 because I got gel nail polish instead of regular which to them is an ugrade. HOLD UP it's called the UV GEL SET right?!? Doesn't that imply that UV gel polish is included?????????? And they didn't waive the $10 charge even though it was their mistake... any respectable business would call and explain the mistake and let the customer keep the money. This is so out of character for the salon that i've been to many times before, but it's made a lasting impression and i'll be moving my nail needs to Aslin up on route 7. read more
