Daniel did an amazing job with acrylic fill and pedicure. I really like the design and the attention to detail. I also love the shape of my nails (stiletto), as most places around in the local area (fairfax, Arlington, Reston) struggled to get my nails right. I have been to over 15+ salons in the local area and this one upheld what I desired. I will be back.

Love it here! David is amazing and always does an amazing job and gives me exactly what I want. Thank you! Best place in the area.

Jenny did an amazing job with my nails. Great design based off the pictures I showed to her. Overall she did a great job with my acrylic nail set. I would highly recommend Jenny and going to VIP mails

I got my nails 2 weeks ago and 3 of my nails (1 from the other hand) have already peeled off completely. I have been using their service for years and have a comfort of coming back here but lately I'm seeing the quality is degrading and prices are increasing crazy. Hopefully, either they get better or I find a better place

Kaylee is amazing! A true artist. She was efficient, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed the service. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely love my pedicure done by Mary with the design done by Ruby! They matched the inspo picture exactly! Mary was amazing the entire pedicure! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I've been a regular at VIP Nails for quite some time now. I usually make my appointments with Twee (she's wonderful and extremely thorough!!!) but since Twee wasn't available, I booked with Lily. Lily did some Christmas designs for me and was so attentive with what I wanted. She's absolutely sweet, detailed, quick, and does an amazing job with your nails. I feel you can't go wrong with any of the staff here. Both Lily and Twee will be my now go to's :)

Got a mani/pedi today for a wedding and it felt rushed, not relaxing. I was also informed of a policy change during my pedi. They are now charging if you want the callous grater on your feet ($5 extra); otherwise, as I just experienced, I got a weak rub against a pumice stone. Even if I bring my own or bring my own callous razor, there's a charge. Very disappointing. I've been getting pedis since high school, and I've never been charged extra for filing or shaving. I purposely selected VIP Nails years ago when I discovered them because they used these as part of their standard pedicures (some salons only do pumice). Pre-pandemic, they offered drinks and a little piece of chocolate; they even had free gifts at the drying station of hair care products, lotions, and makeup. Drinks are now being offered again, but the other little added touches are gone for good. Might be on the hunt for a new shop if callous removal is limited to a weak pumice stone.

I really LOVED my nails at this spot. Jenny is very detailed and does great nail art. She's also very kind!!! I would highly recommend her and I'll be coming back to her anytime I want my nails done for a special occasion. I got this particular nails done for my bridal shower. It was liquid gel on my natural nails. I had three nail tips on that kinda got a little cracked and she was able to fix them by filling them in with the liquid gel. Love love love my nails! I got these done 07/29 and the nails are still going strong and don't look super grown out. Only one nail has broken, but the others still have all the little intricate gems and designs intact. It's not the fanciest place. If you're looking for a spa day like feel you won't get that here, but if you want your nails and toes to look BEAUTIFUL, you come here. Called and booked in advance Price $60 for fill $70 for design $130 total read more

Trish goes above and beyond for her customers! I also love Kaylee's work! I come in regularly for gel manicures and occasionally for a pedicure. The salon is clean and there is always someone walking around putting things away. Customer service is great, the girl who always works the front is so friendly and helpful. I've never felt rushed and they've always been accommodating if I'm in a time crunch. I like the modern, but instrumental music, and I've saved recipes from the cooking shows from Bon Appétit that they play. I find myself relaxed and enjoying myself while I am getting my nails done. read more

I contacted this salon about a week ago for a gel pedi, they quoted me $60 over the phone. I showed up and right before she started my pedi I asked again how much is the gel pedi and she said $60. The pedi style wasn't what i asked for... even though I asked for a simple French tip, I thought its ok and at the end went up to pay only to be told my total is $90.... I was so confused and asked how it came out to $90 when I was told it was $60 several times... and I was told because I asked for a French tip pedi! UNREAL. I was so confused and shocked.... $30 EXTRA for French tip??????? And as if that wasn't bad enough... this is my nail (toe) today. Damaged with the gel coming off. She completely destroyed my nail.

I had an overnight layover at IAD before I leave for vacation. I was so excited that VIP nails could get me in for a same day mani pedi. My experience in the shop was nice enough, but the 2 stars are for poor quality nail polish. My gel mani was done 3 days ago. On day 2 it was already chipping on the tips and the next day the polish was coming off entire nails. See pictures. I suggest avoiding the gel polish in the box and going with the OPI gel instead. So disappointed that I am on vacation with these messed up nails. read more

I've been searching for a nail salon for months after my last tech moved out of state. I found VIP Nails on Google and after reading several reviews felt like it was worth a shot. I booked my appointment with Hannah. The salon is easy to find and had lots of appointment times available. I knew I wanted extensions but not acrylic (I'm trying to be kind to my nails in this cold weather) so I booked for Gel-X with gel removal (gel from another salon). Upon arrival I was asked to wash my hands and pick a color. Having never done anything other than acrylic or gel I wasn't sure what to expect. I sat down with Hannah and explained what I wanted (extensions on 7 out of 10 nails and the remaining 3 left short - IYKYK). Originally we were going to do Gel-X but Hannah felt it would be better to do dip, so we dipped the 7 nails. I trusted her judgement and had already told her I work a lot with my hands. I chose a color that was almost holographic and Hanna felt it would look better with a second holographic color (not cat eye) and she was right! The additional color made the nails so much better. She also freehanded roses on each finger. So much talent! I was not disappointed. I feel like I've found my new salon and nail tech! Can't wait to see what the pedicure will be like! read more

I came in today wanting to find a new salon to go to in the area since I'm from Reston. Originally I wanted French nails but Tiffanie used yellow tips instead of clear ones under an opaque nail color.. Had to get it removed because it's not aesthetically pleasing to see the nail extension and glue underneath the polish. Requested it to be all white. Thought it would be easier to do. I dunno how many times she started all over again bc it was too patchy or bubbling.. I kept telling her that the nails are uneven and she said that it's because I "wanted to change from an opaque color to white." Be forreal. Such a waste of money and time coming here. read more

As an update to my last review, I would not recommend this place for natural nails. The tech used some kind of drill on my cuticle area and by the next day the skin on that finger started peeling and shredding. It was very painful. I've never had a tech use that kind of tool on my natural nails before. Whatever that tool was, it caused my skin to shred and peel. Very painful. Took at least a week to resolve. Probably a fine place if you are doing acrylic or other things. But I did not have a good experience as a natural nail girl! read more

They have multiple, luxurious options for pedicures with the basic option starting at $40. Great first experience here!

I didn't go out of my way trying to find one that specializes in Russian manicures, but it just so happened that Diva Beauty Lounge was the one that I found. The scheduling process was super easy, I believe I just called them and afterwards had to text my information to them. Maybe a second later I got a text confirming the appointment, with a link to their Square website. I especially appreciated this aspect because I was able to see the location on my Maps app. On the day of my appointment, I noted the salon is close to Main Street/Old Town Fairfax but it's in its own area with ample parking. I accidentally went to the wrong building, but Vera was super nice and came outside to get me. When I walked into the salon, I noted how clean and neat it looked inside. It doesn't have a million pedicure chairs, but this is because they specialize in dry pedis, which require special chairs (look up dry pedis online, they're life changing). It wasn't super loud in there either, which added to the peaceful vibes of the place. I was offered a beverage once I got to Vera's work station and she brought me water. So right off the bat, customer service gets a 10/10. Next, I showed Vera what I wanted. She confirmed the shape, the color, and wanted to know if I was okay with my color being more sheer (I picked a pink that actually comes out more see through). This was perfectly fine by me, because I wanted more of a natural nail moment. Once Vera confirmed all that I wanted she got to WORK. When I tell you no kind of manicure compares to a proper Russian manicure, I mean it. They devote so much time to cleaning and cutting your cuticles (dead skin only, no live skin), making sure the polish isn't lumpy, and maintaining the shape, that it's literally giving a LUXURY experience. Despite having to take the time to perfect all of these little things, my mani really didn't take all that long and by the end of it, I was in love. Other than how perfect my mani was at the end, I especially loved that I hadn't been nicked or cut at all by the nail scissors. I have actually been to some places that say they specialize in "Russian manicure" and left completely cut up everywhere (an infection waiting to happen), but at Diva Beauty Lounge, Vera really took her time and ensured everything was done properly, safely, and hygienically. The one thing I will say about getting this kind of mani (or pedi if you so choose), is that it will definitely cost more than your typical manicure/pedicure. The reason being that it's a much more specialized technique and your nails just look that much better due to them taking their time and perfecting everything. If you're not the kind of person that can come often, I highly suggest getting a nude color (what I did) so that you don't have to come in sooner when it starts growing out. Otherwise, this is a great kind of mani to get if you're getting engaged, have a party, some kind of special event, etc. It's well worth the extra coin. And if you can come regularly, I say do it! This kind of manicure also keeps your cuticles perfected and helps your nails to grow out nicely. Overall, have got to give my girl Vera a 10/10, this was an A+ experience. I was super pleased with my visit and my nails, and can't wait to come back again!

Here's a polished review you can post for VIP Nail Salon and your nail tech Trisha: I had such a wonderful experience at VIP Nail Salon in Herndon, VA with Trisha as my nail tech. Honestly, when I first walked in, I felt a little lost because I hadn't been to a nail salon in years and didn't even know where to start. Trisha immediately came over, made me feel welcome, and helped me choose the perfect nail color. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel completely comfortable. She offered me something to drink, kept great conversation throughout my appointment, and was incredibly kind and patient the entire time. I was actually the last customer there, and even though the salon had already closed and the other workers had left, she never once rushed me. What truly touched me was how thoughtful she was. It was raining heavily outside, and before I left, she even put plastic bags over my feet so my freshly done nails wouldn't get wet. That level of care and attention is rare. Her service exceeded all my expectations, and I can honestly say this was one of the best salon experiences I've ever had. Thank you, Trisha, for your kindness, professionalism, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I have gotten my nails done here multiple times already and each time that i DONT go here i regret it! They have consistently done an amazing job. Their gel lasts two weeks and doesn't chip. Every tech there knows what they're doing so you don't have to worry about finding "the one". I'm very picky with my nails - i'm the one that will say something everytime if i notice it being done wrong...and i ask to change it if it's wrong shape, cut or color. here i just keep quiet and relax which is nice lol i dont have to worry about it! They also get the hint if you don't really wanna socialize. Sometimes i go after work and i am exhausted and don't wanna make small talk and they won't keep trying once they realize ur just there to relax. I've gone to some places where they just want to chat up a storm and while I sometimes appreciate it, other times i really just don't want to talk. Their regular pedi lasts like a month - i don't even do gel on my toes anymore since they do such a great job at pedis. They offer sodas and water and tiny little sweets which is nice. Sometimes they give you additional free gifts too :) last time i spent $70 they gave me a purse lol This is my go to nail salon! read more

I've been coming to this nail salon for over 10 years, and I truly can't say enough amazing things about it. The service is always top-tier, the salon is consistently clean. The staff here are incredibly talented and detail-oriented -- you can tell they genuinely care about their work and their clients. A special shoutout to David, who does an incredible job with dip nails, pedicures, and the BEST massages. I always leave feeling relaxed and taken care of -- highly recommend booking with him! Mary, Jenny and Jackie are also wonderful, and they've created such a warm, friendly environment. They also have a sister salon, Elite Spa, which is just as fantastic -- you really can't go wrong with either location. If you're looking for a place that combines quality, consistency, and genuinely kind people, this is it. read more

This nail salon is generally solid. I've never felt like I was rushed in having anything done, the nail techs are really friendly, and they options for pedicures are pretty good. I tend to get gel manicures, and have had good luck with them not cracking/chipping right away...they tend to last until I can make it back for another round. I can't say this for all the gel manicures I've had! In general, they're right in line with pricing of other nail salons. My only feedback, is that I wish they had a better variety of colors. I usually end up bringing my own, because I'm tired of the same pinks/reds. Otherwise, this is a great place! read more
