Royal Nails - The best pedicure I've ever had! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I had to do a polish change to get myself ready for the work week. I can't do meetings with chipped nails. It's so unprofessional! LOL! Sooooo...I stopped by Royal Nails to get a quick polish change. I was not disappointed. Although the place is not fancy smancy like some nail salons that serve beverages (wine) and snacks, it is a place I will add to my list. They are about the nails! I came in, was greeted, asked to pick out my color, and was in the chair in under five minutes on a busy Sunday afternoon. What really made my visit a plus was the fact that my nail technician did not rush to do my polish change. She took her time and made sure I was pleased with the outcome. Great job Anna. read more

I get my nails done here when I go to Arlington. They're pretty clean and everyone is usually very nice. I'm really happy with the quality of my nails and I think they do a nice job with the shape. The only reason I don't give five stars is because I always have to call and ask for price on services. The prices are not transparent listed on the website and it's hard to find up-to-date pricing I recommend calling ahead and seeing if there's availability at the time as well as asking for a price . read more

I was super impressed that my gel manicure lasted more than a month with very minimal cracking/peeling. The nail polish selection is large and the gel manicure was very reasonable priced ($34 before tip). I did have to wait close to 30 minutes before I could get seen, even with an appointment, so that was the only negative part of my experience. read more

Royal Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great value, good quality. I've gone here many times and had many different nail techs-- all have done a good job. The color selection isn't the best and the polishes look old, but everything else is great! For the price ($34 for gel mani), very great value! Good customer service as well. read more

Kate has been doing my nails since I moved here and she is without a doubt the kindest and most skilled nail technician I've had! Prices are competitive for the area and the space is clean. Request Kate by name - she's popular! read more

Royal Nails has the nicest staff, and no matter who is doing my nails they always turn out amazing!

Kathy, who did my nails for more than 10 years at Nails 2005 recently moved to Royal Nails. After Nails 3005 unexpectedly closed (I suspect a problematic landlord who has had chased several businesses out of there.) I'm so happy to have found Kathy at Royal Nails. She does a fantastic job that lasts. I get gel but they offer many different types of polish. It is very relaxing and I look forward to going to see her. The only thing that could make it better is Royal Nails doesn't have hot wax like Nails 2005 did. I hope they add it soon. read more

Got my first manicure in sooo long and was thrilled with the results! I got a gel manicure with matte maroon nails, they were quick and gave me what I asked for. The staff was friendly and make an appointment worked out perfectly to get us in right away. read more

Royal Nails - Almost a week later! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Have lived here for a long time and just ventured over here in the last year+ All I can say is Kate can do my nails and they actually last, this has never happened much less having it happen multiple times read more

Love this place, been to a few other shops around the area and by far the best service and quality is Royal; friendly, attentive and reasonable cost. read more

Have been a loyal customer for years. Staff is friendly and accommodating, and they always do a good job. The spa pedicure is my go-to and well worth the money. Be aware that they can get busy, which means waits are possible if you don't have an appointment. I bring along a good book and some patience, and they usually can squeeze me in within a reasonable time. read more

This salon was recommended to me and I was not let down! I got gel nails and it was done perfectly! Everyone was friendly and the price is not bad either! I would definitely come back! read more

This review is mainly about how amazing Natalie is! I've been going here for over 2 1/2 years now, and she is not only talented, but she is so kind as well. I've had cuts in the side/middle of my nails and she's been able to fix them. Recently, she switched me from gel to dip and she does such a great job. They don't look thick, and the dip has lasted for 5 weeks. My nails grow slowly, but 5 weeks?! Pretty great. The salon is older, and it's no-frills, but this woman is a 10/10! She should have her own salon. read more

This salon definitely isn't walk-in friendly. I visited this location for service and no one greeted me. Then I was told to come back at another time. The lady closest to me says, "try calling first next time." Rude to say the least. If you need a walk-in appointment this is not the location. read more

Great service and my gel nails lasted more than two weeks without chips. Will be back! Thank you. read more

Royal Nails - Two weeks later - still good! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Royal Nails - Acrylic with gel. My fave for sure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I go here and get an excellent pedicure for a very decent price. It's not high end and perhaps the customer service is lacking but they do a good job and the polish lasts! Also- excellent magazine selection. I keep going back. read more

I've been going to Royal Nails for a couple of years now and I've never been disappointed. Their prices are competitive for the area and I never feel like they cut corners. The ladies are the sweetest and make an effort to remember their clients. They get busy on weekends so try to make an appointment if you can, but they've always managed to squeeze me in as long as I'm willing to wait. The deluxe pedicure is to die for, it's absolutely worth the extra money! read more

Love this Nail Salon!! Everyone there is so kind. Also if you want acrylics, ask for Natalie! She is amazing read more

Royal Nails - Gel Mani by Natalie - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I am a loyal client at Royal Nails for 3 years now. I had a couple of different nail technicians, all were talented. I especially enjoy their attention to details. I highly recommend this nail salon. You won't be disappointed! read more

I LOVE this place, it's my go to when I need to pamper myself. My nails always look beautiful and the staff is very friendly,

Thank you and you guys are awesome. Especially Natalie and also Kathie ( i think). Natalie did good job on wednesday. Thank you read more

This place does not have chips To pick for gel manicures so as a result the lady started removing my gel manicure and said I could pick a color after but I told her I wanted a cherry red and after looking very briefly her colleague said we don't have it so I had to leave and go to a salon that had actual color samples I guess they were full so they really didn't care whether I left or not there was no effort to make the customer happy or feel welcome I don't recommend this place read more

I had to add my $.02 to level set some of these reviews. My wife and her friends moved from other salons to this one because of the service and quality here. I've been 1/2 dozen times. The basins cannot be dirty or contaminated because they put a plastic cap over them, between your feet and the actual porcelain (or whatever material was used to make them). You literally only touch what amounts to a newly opened shower cap. The wax is the same as you will find at any other nail salon. It may take you 5-10 min depending on your level of ADD to figure which mani pedi service you want because the have more options than most. It took a little extra time my first visit:) I don't get my nails painted but from what I've seen and heard, they do a great job. I know reviewers on this site tend to get a little emotional and 1-star a place that perhaps wasn't 100% perfect 24/7 so I thought I'd add the experience of people who have used this place often and who have tried dozens of salons. I wouldn't this at #1 in our history but 80%+ so 4 of 5 stars are given. read more

Went there for a manicure and left angry. They receive one star because the manicure is only $11. 1)The AC was broken 2)The estimated time was 10 min and it took over 40 minutes of waiting 3)Pretty sure the woman doing my nails had vision problems; why else was she filing my skin and not my nails??? 4)The drying station doesn't have any fans and it only accommodates four people 5)Overall look of the manicure was bad read more

If I could give a place ZERO stars, it would be this place. Why the vitriol? My sister went to this place to get her eyebrows done, and she wound up with mild first-degree burns under each eyebrow (see photograph). Now, I realize that this is a nail place but if you offer services, you should be able to perform them adequately. I understand that sometimes the shape of the brows may not be completely to your liking (we've all had subpar brow shapes as a result) but never EVER should one of your customers wind up with burns under each eyebrow. Mary, the lady at whose hands said burns occurred, attempted to cover it up by saying that the red marks would calm down after an hour. Well, they didn't - they just hurt like crazy and later left scabs behind. Seriously, this is every woman's worst nightmare when it comes to getting her brows done (short of having NO brows left). If you are going to get your eyebrows done, do NOT come to this place, and if you're in a bind and have no other choice, do NOT let Mary near your brows!! read more

Royal Nails - Awful burns at the hands of Mary - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

It is owned by same manager and depends on who you get. I know two girls that work at both places that are great but this time I got an older lady and she wasn't very friendly. I couldn't understand her. I had to continue to reiterate what I want. Then I had some cuts on my feet going in that I mentioned to her to be careful and avoid. Especially with the salt massage, but that didn't last long. If you have feet issues like me then you need someone who will be careful. They were sanitary, but I was frustrated with the pain I had to feel and the feeling like I wasn't being heard. read more

Went there a few weeks ago (well...about 3) and they were GREAT. I am a pretty spoiled customer when it comes to getting my nails and toes done. I tend to do them myself because I always like how I do them better but I REALLY needed a pedicure before going to L.A. and figured that it would be quicker if I went in to a nail salon. Per a recommendation, I called and made a last minute appointment for the last slot of the night and they were very accomodating. Apparantly, they are under new management and while I don't know how it was previously, my experience was nothing but excellent. It was clean as promised, new tools from a new package, attentive to my requests and did a fantastic job on a french spa pedicure (which is just needing to be redone, 3 weeks later! Pretty awesome!) The staff was pleasant and friendly and I will go back! :) read more

Overall they do a good job however, never ever keep the appointments and extremely rude as of the nail techs are the customers. I drove 1/2 hour had appointment and called a day before& confirmed and they acted we do not know what you are talking about?! What appointment..... read more

Mens Manicure. Without a doubt the worst manicure of my life. I have a lot of manicures for my profession and I understand that they are not making a lot of money on men but she spent all of 8 minutes on me and I felt like I was in a race. read more

I was incredibly impressed with the COVID safety procedures in place here. They were not a hassle but were very thorough: you are asked to wear a mask, have your temperature taken and clean your hands with Purell as you walk in. They take your contact info in case later contact tracing is needed. All of the stations have plexiglass protectors and all staff wear masks/visors. I appreciated that they clearly care for the safety of their staff and customers. AND, the service was great, as usual. read more

Really bad management. I had an appointment and when I showed up on the time there was no body to take care of me. They said I have to wait one more hour. They didn't even call me before I went there. Waisting time. read more

I got an acrylic fill with a pink french manicure for 40$. I was able to get in immediately on friday after work which I was grateful for. My manicurist did a Fantastic job on my nails in the end. I believe she was the owner/owners wife. She was very meticulous and my nails look great. read more

Natalie is the only i see here ! and she literally does amazing! It's so hard to find a good nail person that you actually like. But the last time I came i swear my gel manicure lasted almost 3 weeks! She's so popular so I would recommend calling like a week in advance. You won't be disappointed ! read more

Awesome job Linn was amazing even though I kept falling asleep. She was very professional and patient with me. read more

Great customer service and always very thorough with polish removal and cuticle maintenance which is one thing some other salons tend to skip on. Big polish selection and the technicians are always very polite - asking your preferences and helping you move your stuff from spot to spot around the salon. Since it's a small place, avoid it during peak times - right after work, Saturday afternoons, etc. Those are the only times I've run into a super long wait but that's normal for anywhere. read more

So this place is next door to the place I get my dog groomed so I popped in. I was skeptical because it is not a fancy nail salon, but Natalie did my gel mani and it lasted for a solid 3 weeks and looked great the whole time. A big plus is this place also only charges $30 for a gel so with having to get them done every 3 weeks instead of every two and saving $8-12 a time compared to other salons in the area, I am saving a lot of money. 4 stars because the salon is kind of run down/no soda/wine offered, etc. read more

I have tried many salons in the Arlington area and I am happy to call Royal Nails home! Their service is absolutely amazing and my nails always look perfect for at least the next two to three weeks! Their gel manicure includes parifin wax for free and a nice hand and arm massage. The pedicures are great as well. They take their time so you can relax and don't feel rushed. They also do a great job on eyebrow waxing. I believe a gel manicure is 30 and a pedicure is a little less. One thing to remember is to bring cash as they only let you tip on cash. Overall my favorite nail salon in Arlington! read more
