Elegance Nails

I have been doing my nails here for years. They do a great job, especially with my natural nails. Thanks Nancy!

My first and second visit was very unsatisfying. She cut the cuticle too short and my finger bled…:(

This is the only place I go to for my nails. Been coming here for years. Everyone that’s done my nails does a great job. I never have appointments when I come and they always take me. I’ve also done eyebrow waxing here and the 2 girls who’s done it were awesome! One was Tracy but don’t know the other one’s name. I don’t like my eyebrow thin and they do a great job of listening to what I like.

–Five stars for my nail lady, Tracy! (I’ve learned that she has since left the salon so if you’re looking for her new place, please DM me! I was actually able to find her through fate of trying another nail salon whoop whoop!)
–Five stars for the selection of OPI Gel colors.
–Three stars because it’s just an average salon.

Hands down the best nail salon I have ever been to. My mom and I have been going here for years. We both refuse to get our nails done anywhere else, because you can’t beat the quality and service of Elegance Nails. I get a gel manicure and it lasts longer than any other I’ve ever had. The gel manicure is always done perfectly. I highly recommend this salon. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could.

They accept walk-​ins which was great since me and my friend went to two other places where you needed an appointment just to get a manicure. I showed my nail technician a picture of what I wanted and she was spot on. Before even starting the manicure, I said I wanted acrylics and she kept on insisting my nails were too pretty for acrylics. But I wanted long claws, so she let me get them. They had a huge range on different colors from OPI which I prefer over other brands. She even let me test some colors before I finalized my decision. The final result amazed me and I am thoroughly impressed. Will definitely go back again if I’m near the fairfax area.

I love this salon. They always honor my appointment and take me right away when I call ahead. I’ve been going to Elegance Nails for YEARS. The salon is a little dated and could use updating. Prices are fair and they’re great to their regulars.

I had a new manicurist and unfortunately I had a bad experience with her. I came in for a mani/​pedi with a bridal party. She sat me in a broken pedi chair (so no massage :(). I let it go because otherwise I’d be separated from the bride. During the manicure she cut my finger. I’ve had accidents at salons before but this was by far the most painful. She also did not give me a hand massage. Doesn’t it come with the service? I considered coming back to try someone else because my friend spoke so highly of this place. However when I was finishing up the workers were talking very rudely about another customer who just left. No thanks.

I’ve struggled to find a good nail salon in Fairfax. I wasn’t happy with any that I tried. I discovered Nancy at Elegance nails and see her every 2 – 3 weeks for a gel manicure, sometimes with acrylic. She is a perfectionist, each nail is perfect and very thin and natural looking. Her manicures last 2 – 3 weeks. There’s nothing fancy about the place, it’s a run down little shopping center, but she does a great job so I’ll be returning.

I live by Dunn Loring Metro station and go out to this salon because after tons of visits to other salons, Elegance was worth the price and distance. I mainly go for acrylic nails, and the shape and quality are perfect every time. The nails all look even, my cuticles don’t end up with scabs on them (ew), and they clean up underneath the nail. I usually ask for rounded nails because it looks more natural on my tiny hands, and the shape looks perfect every time.
They don’t have samples of what the gel polish colors look like, which I’m bummed about, but the selection of regular polish is decent.
If you want a quick and dirty and cheap set of nails, go to one of the salons near Merrifield. If you want well-​done and are willing to pay more, go to Elegance.

This is my go to nail salon. They are a bit pricey but they do good work.

I have been going to Elegance Nails for many years. Nancy, the owner is my technician. She is lovely and does a great job — I have been to other salons in the past and they don’t compare. I would not go anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Elegance nails since they opened. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Nancy, the owner does my finger nails… gel and Vi does my pedicures. Vi does amazing toe designs… whatever you ask for. My husband and I have used Vi for over 15 yrs. when she was working in the Pan Am center in Fairfax. I feel like they are family. My nails last for 4 weeks or more!

They are pretty old school here… they still use the razor on heels and don’t offer mani and pedicure menus like deluxe pedicure scrubs with wax and more… you get the basic and that’s it… guess I’m spoiled by Dallas salons where we have big screens, get offered free wine and mixed drinks in some places and have 5 different options just for your pedicure. This place was also a little dirty… there were no tables to sit your drink or magazine, so i put mine on their break station right next to my pedi station and i noticed containers of food unrefridgerated… ew.
My manicure and pedicure looked fine but there is nothing special going on over at Elegance Nails… welcome back to the no frills 90’s nail salon, they wouldn’t be competitive back home in Texas.

I would never go anywhere else for a manicure, pedicure or even a good waxing! Just make sure you have cash to leave a tip because you can’t add it by credit card.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
i’m disappointed my manicure didn’t last as long as it does when I do it myself. WTF???
however, i LOVE that their eyebrow wax is only $ 10 and the person who did it was AMAZING (I wish I could remember her name!!!) at any rate, I got 3 compliments on my eyebrows… and rarely does anybody notice, that says alot.
I might swing by again soon and see if I can remember the face of the girl who did my eyebrows :(she was amazing!
pedicure lasted
so come for pedicures & eyebrow waxes!

My good friend and I have gone here two times and I have no complaints about the workers or the service. They are a no-​frills place and are very clean. I don’t like people trying to sell me into extra services and they give me what I need. They’re very friendly as well.
I would have to dock some points, however, because their nail polish selection is not that great. In a season where the mint greens and new colors are ever-​popular, they don’t carry any!
If you decide to come after work, you should make an appointment just to be safe because I’ve always been there at 6 pm on a weekday and they always have a steady flow of clients until after I leave.
A regular spa pedicure is $ 25. I have no complaints. Will keep coming back.

Got a pedicure and shellac manicure right before vacation. Cost was $ 58 + tip. The actual experience was not bad, although I was asked if I wanted an eyebrow wax.
When I was finished I asked for the paper slippers (had come straight from work so I wasn’t wearing flip flops), but the technician said my toes were dry.
When I got home and took my shoes off the polish was ruined. My cuticles were also ruined– having been cut to shreds. It has been less than 2 weeks since my shellac is already chipping.
Maybe I had a bad technician, but I was not pleased with experience.

Yes, it’s small. Yes, it’s in a semi-​questionable looking strip mall. However, I received the best manicure at this location. I chose the Shellac manicure, which I’ve been getting for quite some time at many other locations, but this time was far superior. The nail tech was quick but extremely efficient. She was nice, asked questions about my day, and was overall very pleasant.
Many times when getting the gel manicure, after I feel like I have to go through and kind of clean up my nails and nail beds to free them of the excess gel polish from the manicure. The nail tech was such a perfectionist, that when my manicure was over, it was literally PERFECT. I took pictures and sent them to SO many friends to share the news. I had found my perfect nail salon.
My friend came with me, and her nails looked equally amazing. I love this place. This and another nail salon near my house are my top two in the area, and I’ve been to A LOT. Thankfully this one is near my work, and they can get the manicure done and have me back at work within my hour lunch break. Amazing. Thank you, Elegance Nails!

As far as dinky little nails salons are concerned, I would have to say this is an awesome little nail/​waxing salon. Definitely ditching the one I usually go to in Springfield for Elegance Nails.
It may be smaller than most of it’s competitors out there but they keep it clean, keep it friendly, and do their shit right. Not only right, but WELL. The foot massage I get with my pedicure here is amazing. There is no other salon around here that I’ve been to that rubs my feet right, except this place.
Tina gave me a pedi today and helped my indecisive butt pick a color after I spent forever looking at them when I walked in. She was super sweet, worked hard to free me of nasty hang-​nails, and made conversation… or attempted to but, I am one for sitting back with a magazine and relaxing, so that didn’t go far. Speaking of relaxing, you’ll love the massage chairs at this place, they all look new and fully functional. Great chairs too — you can really get a good butt massage out of ‘em!
$ 25 for clean and cute tosies, sweet people who appeared to be good pals with their regulars, and an amazing foot massage. Done deal.
