10/10 Nail Salon in the DMV! Great atmosphere, friendly service, clean salon, and VERY experienced nail technicians. My tech was Lan and she only used products that would help my brittle nails grow stronger. If you want a relaxing and welcoming place to get your nails and toes done, come here! You won’t be disappointed!

I'm new to the area and I'm very selective with the nail technicians I choose. After reading the reviews from the Nail Bar, I booked an appointment with Don. Unfortunately he couldn't be there so Sydney stepped in and I couldn't be happier. Not only was she attentive, but she was fun to talk to. She listened to my needs and addressed them with kindness. I will definitely go back there. This is my favorite set ever!

The worst pedicure and manicure I have ever had. I left with nail polish all over my skin around my toes. The women doing my nails applied the wrong dip color and when she removed it she shaved my nail so thin it burned when they applied nail polish remover. They charged me for the horrible pedicure and I left with dip on 4 fingers. The worst experience I have ever had.

Finally, found a place where not only was the technician knowledgeable knowing what type of service we wanted but also extremely patient and courteous especially it being our first time. Sydney is extremely talented and loved how meticulous, kind, and efficient she was with our service! We will definitely be coming here for our mani and pedi services!!! Thank you!!!

Sydney was absolutely WONDERFUL! She is now my designated nail lady. She did such a good job that I literally cannot go to anyone else now! She is also incredibly sweet and nice to chat to :) Super professional!!!

Always such an amazing experience! The nail techs are all sweet and friendly, always welcoming!! Sydney is my go to girl when it comes to getting my nails done! She is such an awesome nail tech and such a fun person to talk to. I really recommend coming here to get your nails done if you want a wonderful experience with such an awesome atmosphere.

Now the nails look okay from a distance but the time I spent there was not. I first got a pedicure. I was a bit scared because the last time I got one there it wasn’t as nice, but they were better this time. So here I was thinking everything was going to be great. I really do dislike my experience that I had getting my manicure. The nail techs name is Emy or Emily, I’m sorry if I heard wrong. The problem started when we got to cutting and shaping the nails. I felt that the nails were shaped crooked and even the tip of the nail was crooked, and I let her know. Her response was I know, will fix it at the end of the first dip later because she started with clear and then pink and then a different pink? Idk trust the process ig. She tried after doing the dip and i did not like it but i didnt say much because i didn’t want to be an overbearing customer and she sounded like she was aware of things. Before she gets to the white gel for the tip after she’s finished with the dip I make her aware again that the tips of the nails are still crooked. She didn’t not believe me and said that they look fine but I’m literally looking at them palm facing my and you can literally see the different angles! I tell her that they still need to be fixed and i show her from the side of my palm and then she agreed with me that they looked bad. Idk about y’all but when I’ve got my nails done before every tech I’ve been with has measured all my nails to make sure they are all the same size. I also told her that the nails were not all the same length and that the other nails were longer than my pinky and she disagreed that my nails were supposed to look like that and i told her that’s what I’m used to every one doing and she filed them I bit more and when I asked her if they were to the same level she said yes and then she did the white gel tip. I look at them after they are not the same length like i asked. I asked her again if she could file them down more, she said let me finish the white tip and then you’ll see it’ll look pretty. Anything shiny looks pretty. Also mind you the sides of my nails are hurting because she kept filing them down all the time. I’m mostly displeased with the customer service because i communicated with what i wanted but she kept disagreeing with the fact that nails and the shape weren’t crooked and the the sides of my real nail that were showing up because she filed the sides too much that she was just going to paint them over? They are literally sticking out and you can see a little pinkish reddish color to my real nails due to the pain. There are tiny bulk parts to the white tip. Literally all these mini issues along with the fact she was disagreeing with me about what I wanted done. After she’s done and I’m showing dislike of the nails and then when I asked them to fix something else while I’m at the register the other lady up front told me I had to pay first before emy could fix it, as if I was going to walk out. I literally paid and left but I’m so disappointed. I got these nails to go to my new job this week to feel confident and look good and feel good but all I was left with was nails that weren’t done well. Now even the white tips were slightly uneven. I just had better expectations especially with the customer service. She tried to be nice at the end because she said she didn’t want to see me mad? I wasn’t mad I was just upset because she wasn’t listening to me about anything of what i wanted in my own nails. 120 for both. Edit: I called them and let them know I disliked the inconsistency. I went in the next day to get them fixed. I get in and the staff take pictures. I get seated, the shape and nails are filed down nicely this time and was recommended bubble pink for the base instead. After, I was referred to a different staff since the previous ones client arrived, I respect that, and Ms.Cindy did an amazing job with the white French tips. She a real one. I’m in love and they look way better. The staff that I was attended by were very understanding, nice and funny. Thank you!

I’ve been getting my nails done at the nail bar with Don for over a year now. Ive tried other places and nothing compares to what Don can do, I keep coming back. I always get Dip nails and he does them really well - I can even wear the same set of nails for a month and they won’t pop off. His nail air is stunning, always cool to watch. He remembers the shape and style that I like my nails in, and takes requests changes and alterations thoroughly and immediately. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, it always blows me away.

I usually never leave reviews but this place deserves it! I showed my nail technician a picture of what I wanted and he did it perfectly. My nails look like glazed little Easter eggs and it’s perfect. This place was clean and friendly as well. 10/10 recommend and will be coming back :)

Sydney at the The Nail Bar near me in Fairfax is a true nail guru. Her professionalism and expertise in acrylic nails left me amazed. Not only did she provide me with a set of beautifully shaped and perfectly applied acrylic nails, but she also took the time to offer valuable aftercare tips.
