    Fill and design done by My

    Friendly service and a fair price for nails , and on par if not slightly below for the area.. depending on which direction you go. Everyone that I've had for a pedicure has been wonderful.. great attention to detail and good massage. My is great for acrylics.. I asked if she could do a certain design.. she was not sure so I showed her a picture of what I was requesting and she was able to recreate it. She's very sweet and did apologize when she accidentally cut me with the dremmel.

    I may live in Adams Morgan and have my favorite to go spa place, but when I'm in the area I choose this place because of their cleanliness, friendliness and service. I came here on a Friday after work and it was nice to find parking on the street directly across from the salon. I chose to get a gel manicure and a pedicure. The salon was only open for 45 more minutes, yet they were kind enough to take me. I first chose my color for my feet and then I asked him to pick a light pink for my gel color for my nails.As I sat down in the chair for the pedicure, so technician asked if I wanted to do a spa type of pedicure. This involved extra salt scrub and 10 minutes of massage. I was very exhausted from the week, so I treated myself to the extra massage. I was happy, that I did this because what a relief it was to feel your muscles relax. Once she finished my pedicure she moved onto my nails. I stayed until 8:30, 30 minutes after the shop had closed. I want to thank them for their professionalism, the cleanliness of their salon and their willingness to stay later than closing time.

    Sometimes a guy needs to treat himself to a pedicure and TM Nail Spa is a good place to do that. They always treat me right and allow me extra time in the fancy massage chair. Also, they let me watch golf or basketball whenever I'm here! My wife also enjoys this place for all of her nail care needs. So it makes a solid, short day date activity.

    Blood everywhere and the edges are all rough

    I will NEVER come back to this salon. Do NOT go here. I am horrified. In addition to my nails not looking good and literally bleeding everywhere - the worst part is at the very end they over charged me by $30. When I saw my receipt I asked why I was charged $85 when the menu literally says $55. They said I picked " spa" I looked at the woman and said I literally pointed at the menu.... You saw which one I picked right? She said "yeah but then I asked you spa pedicure and you said yes" in which I was shocked and asked again, I pointed at it twice even when you asked me that. Why would you do that? They then said "it's okay sometimes YOU make mistakes. It's $85." The entire situation shocked me. I literally did not know how to respond. I told the owner I would never come back. I'm absolutely horrified and feel like this salon intentionally overcharged me, which I consider theft. I'm absolutely upset. I NEVER leave bad reviews and am very understanding mistakes and misunderstandings happen but this is unacceptable. Do NOT go here. There are 3 other salons within walking distance.

    Not a lot of precision when applying the nail polish

    I don't think I will come back. Very disappointed with the gel nails. :( they started chipping 4 hrs after I left the salon. Came back the next day to get it fixed and they ended up looking worst than before. I did liked the massage and my regular pedicure. The girls that work there are very friendly too.

    My gel manicure by My, she was great! (Real nails, nude color, oval shape)

    Minus one star for the older salon. Minus another star because two of my nails uncharacteristically broke due to too much paint/product on them! I typically drive 45 minutes to Ashburn's Serenity Nails for consistently great personalized mani/pedis. But I've accepted that I must find someplace closer! Thanks to the prior reviews I had great confidence in this salon. I really liked the fact that they hold appointments at a top priority. I like that they seemed genuinely concerned about my happiness with my nails. I also liked the easiness of parking. Plan to arrive 5 minutes early to allow time to find free street parking or walk from the parking spot you find! It's the Del Ray neighborhood so it's never a bad or boring walk, but the storefront street parking is limited. I did not like the selection of gel colors, good for standard manis but when you're looking for the newest or latest trend I'm not sure they'd have it. I also did not like the general state of the salon. While it was not out and out dirty it didn't look sparkling clean either. The salon pedicure chairs look to be about 5-6 years old. The sink is one from a 2000's house bathroom. I did not use the bathroom here yet. The man that answers the phones/manages the salon took me 15 minutes early for my 6:30 Monday evening gel manicure ($30.00). He handed me three palettes of gel nail colors (no new 2015 summer colors from what I saw). I prefer to look at the bottles so he directed me to the back of the salon. He filed my nails at one of the 10 mani stations until he wrapped them in foil. He was very nice even while managing the 10 or so pedicure chairs and 5 techs. After 10 min of sitting with the nail color removing foil solution My (the technician) came to take care of me. I highly recommend her for gel manicures. I like thin, natural looking nails and she took extra care to meet my needs. She does have a '2 bottom stroke then one complete stoke' technique that could build up the polish quickly towards the bottom but she quickly changed tactics after I pointed out the thickness of the first nail's bottom half. Another thing My likes to do is add two base layers, three color coats, and two top coat layers...two of my nails broke (this is highly irregular for me) 5 days after my manicure. I think all the layers of polish really dried out my nails and made them brittle, unhealthy, and even weak :/! I will go back to her but I will be adamant about one base coat, two color coats, and one top coat next time.

    Shellac manicure! Lasted 12 days, just like it's supposed to.

    I loved this place! It's affordable, simple but nice, and very clean. I went on a Thursday evening after a particularly tough week. I needed some down time just to myself, called that afternoon and got an appointment for 630 that night. I drove there straight from work and had no problem finding parking -- definitely a benefit of being in Del Ray over Old Towne! I wish I remembered my technicians name. She was so nice and helpful. She was learning English and was a bit shy with talking at first, but since I'm quite the talker, she opened up. I was having such a hard time picking a color, but she was patient with me and ended up helping me pick one for my toes, a bright, girly fushia that I never would have chosen myself but ended up looking great. (She got a kick out of the fact that it was a Hello Kitty color by OPI :) ) She took her time with my pedicure and made sure my water was just right. And then we moved on to the shellac manicure. She was a perfectionist! I really appreciated the time she took to make sure my nails were shaped the way I wanted and the polish didn't get too thick or bubbly like it can with shellac or gel manicures. She was super friendly and great to talk to. My manicure lasted about 12 days, exactly like it's supposed to, and looked nice until the day before I removed the polish. I will definitely be going back! Try this place!

    I am in love with their mood changing colors, staff was really nice and my nails looks great! Thank you

    I'm so disappointed in this place. Usually I have an okay experience here but I won't be going back to TM nails again. I'm getting my nails redone after two weeks with a new nail tech and he shows me where my toenails has been drilled down to barely nothing. I thought it was strange that the lady who was doing my toe nails was using a drill but brushed it off. I will never do that again. My Acrylic nails also started to chip and crack after one week of wear, they are rising on the side and my nails that I paid a pretty penny for now look like I tried to do them myself.

    I'm a fan of this nail salon. It's clean, the ladies are nice, and it's affordable. "Mai" is great, she gives a deep leg massage!

    Awful. They don't honor appointments. They don't use bags in the pedicure chairs. The salon is outdated and poorly run. Do not go here.

    I want to share my experience because the difference between the old Ivy Nails and the new Ivy…read moreNails under new ownership is night and day. A few weeks before they sold the business, I had decided I was never coming back, after going to them for almost a decade. I was a loyal customer who always booked one of the most expensive pedicures, yet the last three pedicures I had, they rushed through them. The last one I got in July was only 20 minutes long after my nail tech's next client came in early. People getting regular pedicures at the same time next to me were still going when I was finished. When I complained, I was told I was wrong by Tina for a complaining. I just want to be clear this was the third time it happened in several months -- I told her that -- and she dismissed it and loudly said I was wrong. Honestly I said I would never go back to them. But when I saw Ivy had changed hands, I came back with cautious optimism today. I am so glad I did. I booked the Ivy Special for $80 with Nina and it was wonderful. She worked on me for a full hour with strong and skillful hands. The service included a soak, massage, mask, hot stones, and then more massage. It was absolute bliss. I will hands down go back to the new Ivy's and will recommend you give them a shot. The salon itself is clean and professional. The pedicure chair tubs still have protective bag coverings that are switched out between clients, and all tools come sterilized in sealed bags. The care and attention to detail are clear. If you had written Ivy Nails off in the past, give them another try. The new owners have completely turned it around. Ask for Nina, she is fantastic.

    I cried when I saw the damage to my nail beds after a manicure here today.

It will take atleast 3-6 months for the nail damage to grow out. Posting a before and after picture for your reference. Update: it's the next day and my nail is already breaking and snagging thanks to the misuse of the e-file on my natural nails. This will be a long process to undo the damage that has been done.
