D C Nails

Don’t expect much. My pedicure was pretty pathetic. For some reason they don’t do half the steps most nail salons do. I soaked for 20 – 30 minutes (when I arrived I was the only customer) my nails were cut and filed, a brief cuticle removal, then a very quick scrub up my leg. Nothing was done to the bottom of my foot and what she did do was very brief. The nail tech did not spend very much time with me, I spent way more time sitting there soaking. Also they do not use a base coat (?) After my pedicure I almost skipped the mani, but then she used a top coat so I figure id be fair and give it a try. The manicure was nothing special either. She stared at the TV through most of it and at one point filed her own nails. I did get a few bubbles in my polish. According to their website they are also a hair salon, but it’s just nails. Cleanliness seemed about average compared to other cheap nail salons, the man working seemed very nice and no one was rude to me, I just was not impressed with their services and would not recommend DC nails.

First time being here and they fucked up my nails!!! And they in English were talking shit about my short nails!

Have been here a few times and have been equally dissatisfied every time. The man who owns the place is very sweet and makes you feel welcome but the women who work here are rude and unprofessional. I asked for a very simple nail design and I was told they couldn’t do it and didn’t have time for it. They basically tell you what your getting instead of asking what you want. I will not be returning here for an overpriced mediocre manicure. I do not recommend!

It depends on who you go to, my usual person, Marie, was unavailable so I had to go to someone else there. It was one of the worst nail jobs I’ve ever had, the polish didn’t last even 24 hours and I have to go back again to have it redone. This lady was very fast and sloppy and I will never use her again. I don’t know if she was new but really, come on, everyone knows the bottom coat has to dry first before you put on another coat with gel polish.

I was in town and had some time to kill so I thought I’d get a pedicure here.
I walked in and it looked busy but they were able to get me in right away. The place looked clean and had decent polish selection.
The women was very nice got started right away. The pedicure included feet soak, scrub, lotion, massage and polish.
I felt very rushed. The whole pedicure was done in under 20 minutes.
I told her I was ticklish and she said she understood. Most places I go to try and get the scrubbing part over with fast when you tell them your ticklish cause they understand it’s hard to sit through it. She took her time and then laughed after while saying «ha you’re so ticklish.» I didn’t hold it against her but I wish she hadn’t take so long because it’s hard not to pull your foot away.
When it came time to polish she stuck paper towels between my toes instead of toe separators even though there were some right near her. She also did not take the time to use remover and clean up the edges. The polish job was nice but could have been cleaned up a bit.
Over all the pedicure was mediocre and I don’t think it was worth the $ 30 I paid.
I think I will stick to the nail place near my home instead of trying a new one on a whim.

I went in for a pink and white fill and a pedicure. Maria did my pink and white fill and here’s my experience with her: They had to fix them after she left. They are shaped horribly, the shellac is blotchy and uneven. After filing and before putting the top coat of shellac on you’re SUPPOSE to be asked to go wash your hands, naturally to get all the filing residue off, and she didn’t, she just painted right over it. She rushed. And the whole time was talking about how after this fill AKA me she was leaving and she was supposed to be out at 1. She can’t wait to leave…
My pedicure on the other hand was a great experience, it was a different girl who did that and it was wonderful.
I give this 2 stars because of my pedicure. If I had went in just for a fill and my only experience was with Maria I’d advise no one to get there nails done here.

I’ve been coming to DC Nails since 2008. I love the personal care, the friendliness of the girls, and the availability of services. They always make time for me, with or without an appointment. They are open seven days a week, have reasonable fair prices, and take credit and debit cards. Tones of colors to chose from for shellac, pedis, and full sets.
