Angel Nails At Reston

For starters the location is in the saddest abandoned shopping center and the interior of the salon is an equal reflection of its physical location. The lack of nail salons in Reston perhaps made this place 5 stars in the past but even so I don’t understand why. Something that’s supposed to be relaxing leaves you feeling more anxious and drained. I can’t comment on the quality of actual nail service due to the tech telling me to return in 1.5 hours and if I were a minute late she was going home. The tone and non-​verbal communication was completely unprofessional in addition to the comment itself. I didn’t agonize her with having to do my manicure when she wanted to be home.

Was going to Rachel for 6 years and she was awesome. Unfortunately after she left nothing was good. Final straw last appointment my foot was cut badly, and nails have black Fungus and half are lifting off. Been getting nails done for 15 year and never had this happen. Never going back, too risky.

The business has been here awhile so this place tends to get super busy. I should say they are busy every single time I stop by. Last time I visited which was last week or two ago and I ended up leaving the place after waiting for 40 minutes. They took three people before me although they came after and lady told me they were all appointments. I didn’t seem like they were all appointments but more like regulars they recognized and wanted to provide priority service over someone who occasionally come.
They are pricey too, just shellac for manicure is 45. I’ve gotten a few deigns here before but didn’t turn out well. I supposed they are okay with one color or French.
I honestly won’t go here unless you need something done in the area right that hour. I won’t talk about service, anyone who gets nails done from Vietnamese nails store should know there’s no such thing as service.

I’ll spare the details of my visit & sum it up with the following: small, old, inattentive, dusty, overpriced.
Why is it so hard to find a quality nail shop?

It was so hot in here. Now I realize the temps outside were pushing 100 but I almost passed out sitting there. I really feel sorry for the employees. Perhaps that is why the tech rushed and did a pretty poor job. I’m not sure new clean instruments were used. And as i get a better look at my French manicure j can still see traces of my previous red nail color in the corners. The final straw for me was the inability to tip via credit card. Since there was no sign with prices or that policy I was not prepared. Seriously. Who carries cash anymore.

No one smiles, the lady could not even file my nails evenly I ended up having them NOT finish and just put a clear polish so I could file my nails evenly myself. I will have to go to another place to get a proper manicure. To walk out of a salon with your nails looking uneven and sloppy it a shame. This person has no business doing nails. I kept quite, paid and left, wil never go back.

Did Lynn leave??? She was good and set the bar high, the other ladies I’ve had haven’t been too good. Too rough, too chit chatty with their colleagues, and I too noticed that some of them have long pointy nails that then hurt me when they’re cleaning around my nail polished areas. I will find another place. It used to be good circa 2008.

I really enjoyed Lynn she did an amazing job on my pedi and mani. She was a sweetheart and she told me upfront what the charges would be and how they are essentially broken down. I had a gift card for this place but I really wanted to do my research and find the best salon, because there are many chains of this one salon. I drove from Fairfax to Reston to get my nails done and it was totally worth it! I will return! Ask for Lynn you won’t regret it.

This place is ridiculously overpriced for the quality of work that they do ($ 28 pedicure). I have been here on a few occasions because it is closest nail shop to my house and every time the color gets applied unevenly and my nails chip within days. Everything is done very sloppily and to add on to my frustration, the staff is not very friendly. I will not be returning to this place after my last visit where my pedicure water was scorching hot and when I said something, the nail technician adjusted the water temp with the worst attitude ever.

I will never go back and very disappointed!!! I was happy I found a nail place near work. My first experience was ok and turnt off by the second experience. I went in at 1130am for a spa pedicure and fill of pink and white for my nails. I was hoping to be out by 115. It took the lady forever and I didn’t even have time to get my nails now. The place is below average and are charging crazy prices. I got a French spa pedi deluxe and the was charged 52??! At least she should of told me French was an additional charge??? The smell in the place was disgusting and I will take my business’s elsewhere!

This place is sub par at best. I got shellac and I’ve never had my nails done and this unhappy with the result. My nail color is bubbling, it was bubbling while she was doing them and I noticed and asked to fix it. She just put an extra top coat on to «cover it», guess what, it didn’t. There is nail color on my skin and it honestly looks like I did it myself. If I wanted that result I would have saved the $ 45 dollars I spent (yeah it was that expensive). The lady also cut me, very badly in fact that I was bleeding quite a bit and I could tell she was a little freaked out. My friend came with me as well and showed a picture of how she wanted her nails to look and her lady told her no problem. Well she forgot she was supposed to follow the picture and ended up doing a completely different look (she wanted French with polka dots and instead she just painted the whole nails one color with no French and added some poorly drawn polka dots). Overall I hope to never come back again… The only reason I am giving two starts is because my friend said she usually goes to another girl who isn’t as bad so I will give her the benefit of the doubt. My opinion though is to skip this place and keep driving to any other one.

I enjoy this place! I usually have Tina take care of me – if she’s not in one of her co-​workers will help me. Clean, professional, and affordable.
I’ve been going for a short time and always walk out very happy.

First off, this place is way overpriced for your everyday mani/​pedi «spa.» I took my young daughter in for pedicures without reading a price list first, which I SHOULD have. If I would have, I would never have used this salon, and will never use again. The price was ~$ 20 – 25 MORE than I normally pay for dual pedicures (me and my daughter).
Additionally, the chairs were really uncomfortable (it felt like the padding had broken down from age), and the gals that did our toesies were average at best. They were ok, but I get better pedicures for far less elsewhere. For the first time, my daughter didn’t smile once during her time there, which is unusual. This is our mommy/​daughter time, and she usually loves this time together, so I was really saddened at her boredom with this «spa» and how they did NOTHING to help her get more comfortable (the chairs hurt her bottom and back). I made numerous references to having something behind her back for support, and they just ignored me.
Basically, unless you really want to pay too much for a mani/​pedi, don’t waste your time here.

The staff here is rude! I went in for a mani and the woman wouldn’t stop asking if I wanted the shellac instead. It was for St. Patty’s so I didn’t want green/​gold nail polish that I couldn’t take off myself. She seems annoyed and then was nasty to me the whole time. She even reprimanded me when I slightly shifted in my chair and she had to stop and pause. And the work they do is sub par. I am sorry but I don’t need to get yelled at when I am getting my nails done.

I have been going to this place on and off for the past 3 years. The nail technicians here are always very friendly and quick, and the prices are right. I was just in this past weekend and although I had to wait about 10 minutes, I was very happy with everything else! The place I went to 2 weeks before to get gel tips did a terrible job and my technician took the time to fix them and get them exactly the way I wanted them– not too long and not too square. Overall a very good bang for the buck. The only reason I docked a star is because it’s not the most glam atmosphere. But hey, it works for me :)

Seriously. Only ask for Lynn.

I’ve been going here for a while but am going to have to start finding a different place.
They become rude if you DON“T decide to go for the extra services they are pushing. and that’s wrong.
You have to really watch out for some of the staff who do not trim their own nails. Don’t know about you but someone trying to work on your feet and give you a pedicure should not have long, sharp nails themselves! And when you tell them, «Hey, be careful, that hurts» they get really angry. Well that’s not exactly the best customer service.

This place is very hit or miss. Somtimes they do a good job but most of the time, with walkins, you get the people who don’t seem to be that great (which is probably why they are not booked). I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you know your nail person and have a reservation.

I stopped here one day for an eyebrow wax and was not disappointed. Ann waxed my eyebrows and has been doing them for years now. She touches up my natural shape and never takes more than necessary – I dislike the overly plucked and thin eyebrow look so this works for me. I also really like the other technicians who have done mani-​pedis for my daughter and me. All the girls love my little girl (age 5) and usually spoil her with treats whenever we come in for an appointment. I wish my budget allowed for us to come here more often but I definitely savor those appointments that we are able to go to.
One tip for management: the music sounds like elevator music and the décor is just awful. That aside, you’ve got some great employees here.

I needed a last-​minute pedicure, and Angel Nails was the only salon available at the time. Kind of a mistake. Although they could take me right away, the pedicure was not good. At all.
The woman (I didn’t catch her name) was very nice and personable, but the pedicure itself was pretty bad. I like to keep my toenails pretty short, and she wouldn’t bust out the nail clippers — she would go at the nails with cuticle trimmers, and then file the heck out of them. I kept asking about the clippers, just because it would make it easier on her, but she just shook her head. It was weird. It also left my toes kind of unevenly cut/​filed.
In a pinch, this place is ok, but I won’t be going back.
