I have brought my mother here for pedicures with me, twice now. We enjoyed our experience and left lighter and well taken care of. we have not had manicures, so cannot add to that. The ladies are older, so perhaps that's not what younger generation is looking for. We enjoyed this spot and will come back again. read more

excellent customer service Always eager to help,& assist customer regardless of their differences. Great location, beautiful view.

The staff is so professional and kind at this location. They were all very helpful and made my first experience really enjoyable. I walked in for the first time today and James was available and worked very fast to give me the exact shape, color and the most perfect set of dip nails I've ever had. They're not too thin and definitely not too thick. The salon is small but it works well and everyone seems to work at a good pace to get the clients in and out and still with great quality. Highly recommend! read more

I've been getting builder gel for 3 years now and it's the best thing i've ever put on my nails. I did a good amount of research before and they have been the best option for keeping my nails long, thick, and healthy. I would recommend Emily, she's the best and has never given me a bad set! read more

Top Coat Nail Bar - Fall nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This place used to be my go-to nail salon but after my recent experience I will never come back. While I hate to write this review as most of the nail techs are decent and kind, the manager is rude and does not care about her customers. I had an appointment for 4PM along with a friend (who I convinced to come here for the first time) and while my friend was seated fairly quickly it took nearly 30 minutes for anyone to tend to me and shortly after, my nail tech said she needed to eat and left again. My nails were not actually worked on until close to 4:50 at which point my friend was basically nearly done with her pedicure and was moving on to a manicure. There was no apology for the long wait time. The folks next to me were also complaining about how long they had to wait. The nail tech suggested I pay for my services prior to my polish and I agreed and went to pay and asked if they offered any discount or anything due to the long wait time. I told them it was nearly an hour. The manager first off told me it was not close to an hour (like why're you accusing me of lying?) and then declined to do anything. Again no apology either. The lady at the front desk had more decency and apologized. I didn't argue as I did like coming here and politely paid for the services and continued to get my nails painted. Had the manager left it at that alone I would have still considered returning. But she was determined to start a scene and came back with screenshots from her CCTV footage to prove a point that it had not been an hour. Why was that necessary? Did I create a scene for you to do all that? Even then I kept telling her this isn't necessary when I'm saying I enjoy coming here. All she really had to do was apologize. She kept saying that the wait time was "only 20-30 minutes." How is 20-30 minutes okay even? My time is precious to me. And I'm agreeing the tech came around 4:30 but left afterwards. How is it okay to call your customers liars repeatedly? Why would I purposely do that when I'm telling you I enjoy coming here? Why would you create a hostile environment when I didn't even argue when you refused to offer anything? Probably some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I'm still shocked by this experience and that she's the manager. She really needs some training on how to run a business and how to treat customers. If this is how she treats her customers just imagine how she treats her employees! Even if you disagree the least you can do is just apologize and let it go for loyal customers. If I were her, I would've offered a courtesy $5 off or at the very least an apology for the inconvenience. I'm still stunned how this lady thought it was a good idea to pull screenshots from her camera footage when I already paid and sat down. For what? To lose a customer? Because that's exactly what you did and I will never recommend this place again. read more

Amazing nail salon! Prices are fair and they never overcharge for services. Probably the cleanest nail salon I have ever been to the quality of service is immaculate. Request James as he has been my tech for over 3 years now and he never misses he always does a perfect set and gives me exactly what I'm asking for. read more

Ii wanted to come a few times and get different services before giving an honest review. The location is nice. Always clean and brightly lit. Staff is kind and courteous every time. The pedicure is 5 stars. Lavender pedicure was amazing I wanted to fall asleep. My legs felt like jello after, I was so relaxed. Unfortunately, I likely will not be back for a gel manicure. I've been several times and every time, the color begins to chip within a few days. My nails feel weaker. They never last more than a week. I've gone to other solo a where they left my nails feeling strong and the color lasts 3-4 weeks. Again, yes for pedicure. No for manicure. read more

Terrible, don't know how to shape nails properly. Ivy and James are two of the good nail techs who really know how to do nails. Salon is clean but they don't wear gloves while doing pedicures which is extremely unhygienic. Never coming here again. read more

I love this place and the Tysons location too! I get my lashes and mani-pedi done with Emily and her team religiously every two weeks, and I wish I could afford to go more often. The salon is always clean and they have a selection of drinks too. There are so many polish colors to choose from I usually ask for help deciding. I do a lot of work with my hands and am very hard on my nails but the dip polish rarely breaks. I never plan to change salons unless I move out of the area, but no plans for that! Thank you to Emily and team for always keeping me looking pretty! =) read more

This place is definitely losing points for experience and quality manicures. I was very surprised to see disgruntled employees and inexperience rather palpable this time. I really wanted this nail salon to do well. I walked in requesting a French manicure with the attached picture. What I got in return was three women trying to get the French manicure that I wanted. I asked for a simple French manicure and they suggested that I go for acrylic finishing of my nails, followed by painting the nails in the French manicure style. I went ahead with it. Nancy started the work, she was very inexperienced. She handed it off to Jade, who took an emery board and shoved it into my pinky so hard that it left a huge cut, which she tried to cover with some antiseptic liquid. I asked for Neosporin while she used stinging acetone on all the fingers, including the pinky. She said the ointment would not allow her to complete the steps for the French manicure. Again, I was cooperative and went ahead with it. It's the holidays, let's keep the spirit happy. I went in at 10:30 and came out at noon with a French manicure that looks extremely amateur, a gash in my pinky and a bill that was only 20% off. I asked for 50%, even though I shouldn't have had to pay. I paid the 50% and left. I let the owner's mom know I wouldn't be coming again and that I was sorry. They all apologized under their breath passing me by, except Jade and Nancy. read more

So this is my second visit. My first visit was with Annie who gave me a wonderful pedicure, I told Annie I don't care about color I only care about my ingrowns that were painful. She took good care of me. She has a kind heart. My second visit July 7th I got my nails done by James. At first he was rushing but he said it had been a long day for him. He took his time, he was very meticulous with the designs. I was very impressed and happy. Overall this place is clean and they offer you beverages while you are being serviced. They should add a little diversity on their Instagram and website but so far they get 5 stars from me!!! read more

I've debated on leaving a review because I selfishly did not want the shop to be too busy for me. However, Top Coat Nail Bar is always clean and their staff is so sweet. The nail technicians always do an amazing job and my experience has been great morning, afternoon and night (one time James and Ivy stayed after closing with me to finish a complicated design that took a long time.) My nails last long, my technician is detail oriented (mixing colors to create the perfect shade) , and very patient with me. Beverages always offered. Thank you James for my nails + free-handing designs fabulously! read more

Unfortunately I now have to leave a three start review . The first time I came everything was great. I always come at 10:00 am when they open. Both my second and third visits have been late starting . I actually didn't want to leave a review about this but now it's the second time happening and very unprofessional. My second time coming they didn't even have the door unlocked which you can see from the pictures . Then when someone finally came, they needed me to sign in but their machine wasn't even turned on so that caused me to have to wait even longer . The woman working was really apologetic so I felt like it was a one time thing and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt . Again today I had an appointment for 10:00 am. They were open this time at least but the male tech who was supposed to be doing my nails wasn't there . At first I was told 5 mins. When it got to 10 mins past my appointment time the lady couldn't give me a time he would be there and only stated he was on his way from falls church . I told her I would be leaving. I also told her that it was extremely unprofessional and my time should be respected just like I respect their time . I have included pictures which time stamps which show I was left sitting there while my tech was on the way from falls church. It's really unfortunate because I wanted to love this nail salon. read more

The people were nice so it pAins me to leave a negative review. But the application of the nails was not very good. I went in for a regular pedicure and gel manicure. I think the pedicure was fine, I have no real complaints. The gel manicure is what went downhill. The nail salon I usually visit finishes both services in less than an hour. Here's a summary of pros and cons: Pros: -nice staff -nail tech spends time with you -they have a mani pedi package with a small discount -gel mani will look and feel like natural, like regular thin nail polish -large selection of colors Cons: -took too long to finish my services -application of the gel mani was thin (I'm used to more than one coat) so the color changed after a few days -there were weird dots on my mani that couldn't be removed after I pointed it out read more

Service was mediocre. I waited 20 mins after my appointment till the technician started on me. At one point she just handed me off to another technician so she could go eat (didn't even ask if I was ok with that). She was not able to achieve the shape I wanted and there are areas of my nail that were missed. Overall this place is way over priced for the service. Thought it would be luxury than the other salons in the area but it is not. Will not be returning. read more

Had a pleasant experience as my nail technician was very kind. However, I had a regular manicure/pedicure done today and am very disappointed with my manicure with regular polish, the *most basic* nail service offered. Once the color set and dried, it became very obvious how unevenly my nails were painted and how poorly the polish was applied, as it is on my nails AND skin. I hoped to enjoy my new manicure but instead will need to remove the polish myself. read more

Update: the business contacted me almost immediately to offer a redo. While I won't be going back, I do appreciate the courtesy and professionalism to fix the situation. I sincerely hope this business does well and gets a great following. It can be tricky to open a new business, so fingers crossed they will get the kinks out. I tried Top Coat today, since they offered a 20% off discount to bring in clients. I would not go back. I normally go to Celebrity Nails, which is a no frills salon close by and much cheaper. At Celebrity Nails, my preferred technician always takes her time and while it's a long appointment, the finished product is awesome and is always relaxing. I wish I had just stayed with my normal routine, because even with a discount, it was over priced for the services I got. The pedicure I got was quick and not thorough. Although the salon was mostly empty, my technician sped through the service and didn't thoroughly exfoliate or file. It was the quickest pedicure I've ever gotten, and one of the least relaxing. The worst part was the gel manicure. My technician again rushed through the service ending up in a very painful cut on a cuticle. Now it's very painful to wash my right hand or move that finger. My finger pooled with blood, and she claimed that my cuticles were too dry as if the fault was mine. She rushed through the manicure leaving a very uneven polish job with noticeable marks and rough edges. I felt so anxious after she cut my finger, I should have just asked to leave but didn't want to be rude. She didn't add a routine top coat on my nails (and lied and said she did). She also didn't wait for the nails to dry between coats under the UV light. This resulted in my poorly cut and filed nails to look goopy and thick with polish. I know this is a new business, and I want any small business to succeed. If you try them out, I recommend telling your technician to take it slow. Also keep an eye out to make sure the tools are properly sterilized. I didn't see any sterilization between uses, and this is concerning considering I was bleeding during my appointment. read more

I went in to have my first pedicure in months. It was AMAZING!! I saw James and I booked for the detox lemon grass pedicure with a 10 min foot massage added.

Nail tech was too busy chatting incessantly with the other women, not really paying attention to what she was doing. Did a really bad job on my nails . Three nails were bleeding where she cut the cuticles too closely and then afterwards when I was out in daylight I could see that the polish was quite unevenly applied. When I got home, I called and asked for an appointment to have them fixed. She didn't want to but reluctantly agreed. The WHOLE time she kept saying that she'd done a "perfect job" and my nails were bad, and I just picked the wrong color, and on and on excuses why I was the reason she applied the polish unevenly... She actually made them worse - I won't be going back. No wonder the shop is so empty lately -- business is slow, maybe if they gave a rip about customer satisfaction and quality service, it would be busier, read more

My first experience here was pretty good. It's a nice, pretty little salon. The man at the front desk (Jason I think?) was very welcoming to me and to others that I heard come in. I saw Helen for my dip powder nails. They didn't have the exact colors that I wanted, but we found some similar alternatives. You just need to be very verbal about what you want. For instance, I said at the beginning that I wanted the stiletto shape. Once the tips were glued on, she said "Coffin shape right?" I said, "No, stiletto." She nodded and then proceeded to shape them all as coffins so I said again, "I don't want coffins, I just told you stiletto." She had no idea what I meant until I showed her the picture again and she said, "oh, pointy!" Would have been easier if she knew the terms of all the common mail shapes as a nail tech, but we got there. She was very meticulous in applying the dip powder. In the end, my nails look beautiful :) I just urge everyone to speak up when there's still a chance for something to be fixed rather than waiting until the end of the appointment to speak up or not say anything at all and go home upset. I will be back and I hope to get an ombré with whatever technician is most skilled at them. read more

I came here for the first time since I live very close to the shop. I wanted to get the combo pedicure and gel manicure. Nail tech started w/ a pedicure which turned out very disappointingly. She didn't even scrub the bottoms of my heels, only the sides and ball of my feet. The massage was also not enjoyable as she only lightly massaged my legs. After the pedicure I felt my heels and mentioned that they were still rough and she tried to upcharge me $8. I decided to cut my losses pay and leave. Very disappointing and going back to my regular nail tech. read more

I decided to give this place a 2nd chance last Friday after a few months of going someplace else. Got a regular pedi and a dip powder mani. The nail technician listened to me, the shape, removing cuticles, etc. Even helped me out picking out an accent color to match my main one! My nails looked fabulous. I walked out a very happy and satisfied customer. :-) Fast forward to Sunday - three of my nails (two on one hand, one on the other) chipped plus one cracked near the edge. I was able to get a pretty quick last minute appointment to get them repaired. Technician did an awesome job- no charge and didn't even want me to leave him a tip. Today is Monday, three more nails are chipped and hair getting caught in one of them. My toes are looking grea though! UPDATE: 11/03/22 - Mgr contacted me and offered to make things right! I will return. read more

I came back the following day to get an acrylic set with James, I shows him a picture of what I wanted and he really did an amazing job!

I came here twice before writing a review. Here is my experience. During both pedicures my toe nails were never soaked before they were clipped. Each time my nails had jagged cuts that were painful. My feet were never scrubbed or my cuticles taken care of each time. The technician did the same thing to my nails. I was so disappointed the second time that I walked out without polish. It didn't seem like anyone cared about anything except for payment. Given the location and clientele I advise you to do a better job. This is below subpar. The salon is gorgeous and clean very sad that the service was lacking and nobody seemed to care. read more
