nailsaloon (Logan Circle)

I've been coming to this woman-owned nail salon for the last several years for several reasons: it's one of the cleanest nail salons I've visited (the floors, furniture, and tools), it's a very respectful and relaxing environment (nice music, phone conversations to a minimum, drinks offered, and spacious), and the pricing is competitive for the services received. My manicurist, Marnae, is absolutely phenomenal and makes the experience for me. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and artistry is unmatched. I travel from Baltimore to DC because of the great care she takes when it comes to my nails.

Really nice salon in a great location. Great service as well. I have had better mani/pedi services at other salons where a nice massage was part of the package for less than the cost here. That's fine though - a massage is not advertised and the ambience is lovely. What isn't great is the fact that not even 24 hours later my French manicure is peeling off from seemingly nothing. Most of my manicure started peeling off while I slept in bed! I didn't get a gel manicure but when I get a regular manicure at other salons or even do my nails at home the polish remains intact longer than this. Really disappointing. I don't think I'll be returning.

My sisters and I did a walk in and they were able to accommodate us! The service received was extremely great! Friendly customer service all around from the receptionist to the people that did our nails! My sisters and I were happy with how our nails turned out! This has been one of the best experience we have had in a nail salon in a long time!

On a work trip and managed to squeeze in a desperately needed nail appointment! The space was clean, bright and beautiful. Customer service was great; there was just slight confusion about my getting nail art (my initial manicurist thought I didn't book that even though I was confirmed for it through email before booking on their website). The manicurist I ended up with was Uka. They were so gentle, patient, and thorough with me, and they were able to replicate the nail art I showed her off Pinterest. Extremely positive experience - I will only go there when I'm in DC!

This is a “toxic free” type nail salon, so they don’t offer gel manicures. The nail polishes are displayed in 3 baskets on the front counter. The receptionist was friendly and the reason I stayed. They were able to remove my old gel manicure ($10) and I chose the speedy manicure $22. The receptionist offered me something to drink. My manicurist on the other hand, wasn’t friendly at all, and she didn’t like my feedback during the session (when a bubble appeared on one of the nails) but in the end it turned out okay. It’s hard to wait for a regular nail session to dry once you’ve done gel polish, but that’s personal preference. My manicurist tended to a gentleman after me, and didn’t come back to check if mine were dry after about 20 minutes, so I asked the receptionist if I could leave. Again, very nice service from the receptionist. The ambiance is pretty, although the chairs are not comfortable. They do sterilize the nail equipment and package the utensils individually before attending to each customer. I like that they wear scrubs as a uniform, makes the place look nicer. They took me in without an appointment, which I appreciated.
