Act II Salon

This is my second visit to Act II.
I never like to make appointments because usually I go all out on a whim after a long/​bad day at work. Act II takes walk-​ins and I’ve never had to wait, even when it has been super busy. The ladies will stay late to finish your nails, too, if they need to.
This review, though, is mostly about the pedicure spa treatment for $ 40. Holy moly! Absolutely the best pedicure I’ve ever had, and I’ve gotten it twice here. First, they let you soak if all the attendants are busy. Next are the typical nail treatments and soak, but then you are treated to a massage, sea salt scrub, mask, warm towels, lotions, and the best foot rub. I’ve been disappointed before by the length and quality of what I’ve paid for, but not here! It’s worth every cent!

Awful gel manicure! Shuffled in and out like livestock. No music which created a dry and cold experience. Not worth my $ 30 and I will never go back.

This salon does hair AND nails! Lynn did my nails and they look beautiful! The salon is clean, friendly and reasonably priced! I highly recommend this salon!

Totally unimpressive. If you are looking for mostly cheap and mediocre, this is your spot. Gel manicure $ 30. The skin around my nails was not cleaned up, the nails were uneven and the polish after 3 color coats were spotty. Regular pedicure… for $ 30. You get a rub that is forgettable and polish mostly on the toenails. Zero frills.

The woman that did my manicure rushed through the whole process when its suppose to be a relaxing experience. Refused to push my cuticles back when I asked, did not put enough polish on my nails so the color was sheer and didn’t bother to trim my nails. I was in and out of that place and totally did not get my money’s worth!

Kim is my hairdresser their she is the best hairdresser in Fairfax county. Pleasant personality and very friendly and knows how to give a great haircut. My family has been going there my wife my children and using Kim for the last five five years
We think she is the best hairdresser in this area if you go there ask for Kim you won’t be sorry most of the time you have to make an appointment because people come back. Thank you very much Barbara ken Katie and Dakota Craig

Chi and her haircuts are amazing, I cannot say enough great things about her; she is talented and professional, she listens to what you want, and she has an artistic hand and eye for what looks fabulous on you. She will not cut too much, if that is what you request. At the same time, I would trust Chi to style my hair if she were to cut a lot — she is that good. I have been consistently pleased each time I have had Chi administer keratin, cut and color; and I always receive tons of compliments by polished people. I do not hesitate to tell ‘inquiring minds’ where I get my hair done.
Visit Chi, you will not be disappointed.
I switched to Act II because of logistics (it happens to be close to a destination/​family I visit often), but it is well worth the drive even if you are traveling from afar to the University Mall. Besides, Act II Salon’s prices are extremely reasonable. (University Mall is recently revamped, and has a wide array of new restaurants, and a Giant grocery store, so you can easily visit one or more before or after your salon appointment.)
I know no one who works here, personally. But I am glad to have found Act II and Chi!

I am going to agree with the rest of these reviews and say that this place is great! I’ve gone here twice now both times with my daughter. For her to get a mani/​pedi it’s $ 10. You can’t beat it! Granted they’re not washing and massaging her feet and hands but who cares– she’s 4. A design on the toes will cost you an extra $ 5 but that’s nothing to see the smile on her face. I’ve called a few other places in the area and they charge $ 20 – 30
A pedicure is $ 22 which isn’t bad since it lasts for almost a month. You can’t beat the price and all the ladies are wonderful. Very nice and sweet. It’s a hidden gem, and you can bet we’ll be back.

Dee was so friendly and i have great time with her. she can provides you nail art and samples. *joyfull im satisfied with her nail service and brow as well. I would come back next time. this place is good and inexpensive.

A walk-​in manicure. Cheap and quick. Not very chatty but I’m ok with that. I drive 20 mins just for their manicure!

I followed Lynn from her previous salon and I am still very pleased with all the staff. My manicures last a long time and they all do amazing pedicures. This is the only place that my daughters get their eye brows waxed. I highly recommend this salon!

Ladies this probably the best place I have ever gone too! My manicure looks amazing. The design she did looks fabulous! My pedicure was awesome. I’m so relaxed! my eyebrows are on point! This will definitely be a regular spot for me.

Act II is a clean, professional shop and I recommend it highly. Lynn has been taking care of my nails for several years and she is the best. Not only is she friendly and nice to talk to, but she does a great job! I wouldn’t trust my nails to anyone else.

Went to ACT II for a haircut and blowdry. A coworker of mine had recommended Nasrin she was wonderful. I didn’t want my hair too short she made sure I was comfortable with the length before cutting and listened to what I wanted. She was nice and attentive and I left with a great blowdry! I will be going back to her

First time getting a manicure here and it was simply the best experience. Not only did Christie do an awesome job with my French gel mani but she is soooo funny. We chatted the entire time and she made me feel like a regular customer. As far as salons go this one is pretty average but my manicurist made such a huge difference. I will definitely be going there from now on!

I routinely get manicures and pedicures here. Tina always does my nails, and she is a perfectionist. I leave with my nails looking perfect every time. Price is very reasonable and service is great.
