Nail Art & Spa

Skip it! DO NOT go here! I have a skin infection on all my fingertips. They are swollen and red and oozing pus. I will report to the health department. Also their licenses need to be pulled due to an uncleanliness. Better Business Bureau also will be informed.
Update: Working with the Maryland state cosmetology board now. Only a matter of time before you have no business or get sit down!

They always do an excellent job on my nails and feet. Everyone is nice, focus on their client, and have you in and out! Great prices, clean location.

I usually go to another nail salon and day spa, but am always looking for a back up just in case. Because I did not plan ahead and make an appointment where I usually go, on 9÷5÷2015, I decided to try this place because of its proximity to my home. As soon as I stepped in the door, I saw «red flags» every where. First, there was no one at the front desk. No one looked up from their nail stations to even say, «Hi» when I walked in. I have no problem waiting. There was a sign in sheet for customer, so I knew that I would have to wait. Further, I knew that I’d be waiting because it was a holiday weekend, less than half of the booths were staffed with a technician, and there were 4 people ahead of me. While I waited, 2 customers signed in. They, too, received no greeting (At least, they are consistent with the rudeness). One opted to wait while the other shouted that she would be back. I waited for 30 minutes in the heat and while being subjected to the intense smell of acrylics (no fans were visible), and no one ever said a word to me to even ask what service (s) I was waited to receive while I walked around looking at nail colors. While I waited, I watched a nail technician rip nail tips off of one customer instead of soaking them off, too (eek!). Finally, it appeared that it would be my turn. Instead, a nail technician took the customer who opted to leave and has just returned, bypassing me and the other customer who had waited. All 3 of us signed in, so clearly, none of us had a prior appointment. To add insult to injury, the customer who was serviced immediately upon her return from getting food (She had bags in her hand) was White, but I and the other overlooked customer were Black. The technician didn’t even look at the sign in sheet, read names off of the list aloud or inquire who was next. I wouldn’t go back to this place even if someone gave me a gift card, or if they were the last nail «salon» in the state! Do the proprietors really think that they’ll be in business if they continue to treat customers this way?

I have been coming here for 2+ years and they recently fired the best nail technician they had and raised the price dramatically, the workers are rude. They say for a medium nail full set is $ 45, NO nail salon pays $ 45. I use to get full sets any length for $ 25 and now they are rude and do nails horrible. They talk badly in their language about you from across the room. One lady even smacked my hand because i told her she messed up my nail. If i could i would give them no stars, i wouldn’t recommend this place to no one unless you enjoy horrible customer service and results. Never in my life will i be coming here again. I was disgusted by everyone.

I made an appointment for 3:00 and arrived at 2:56. I sat without being acknowledged for 20 minutes and then was told I would be taken in 5 minutes. I ended up leaving at 3:45 because they still weren’t ready for me. This was my fifth time going and my last. Go to True Nail Spa in White Oak instead! They have far better customer service.

I’ve had a few mildly below average experiences for manicures or pedicures here in the past year, but keep coming back since it is so convenient to work. Today, though, was probably my last visit. I went to have my eyebrows waxed (first experience with this service here) and asked several times both before and after for them to not be too thin. After the technician finished, they are both extremely thin and asymmetric (one was arched and one was not). When I pointed this out to her, she told me «they’ll grow back.»

Used to see Lynn, but then she disappeared. Now I see her sister Cindy. She’s good. But for the best pedicure, see Lisa.

Goodness! If the ladies here could at least not talk across the entire place to their coworkers the entire time I’m getting my nails done I would think of going back. I’m sure it took my nail technician twice as long to do my nails because she just wouldn’t Shut Up! I’ve gone to this location for several years and on Wednesday I just simply became fed up.

I came in for a pedi on Memorial Day. There was no line and they were incredibly fast! My pedi was done in about 10 minutes and my feet were so soft afterward. I am very impressed by the service.

So I am extremely pissed. I have been going here for a year and NEVER had an issue until today. The lady effed up my eyebrows. My eyebrows only needed a cleanup. The idiot butchered my eyebrows. I am so pissed. Really considering not coming back here. When I told her one was slimmer than the other she told me my eyebrows were already like that. Bullshit! Take ownership when you mess up!

I tried this place a few days ago after reading some mostly good reviews. I have been searching for a while now to find a good nail salon that I can make my go-​to place. Well, I found it! I didn’t make an appointment and they could take me right away, they weren’t extremely busy (it was the middle of a week day). For $ 32 my mani-​pedi looked great. The nail tech I had was very cautious to make sure she didn’t miss anything and was very careful to pay attention to the little details.
A big plus for me was seeing the tools come out of a CLEAN AND FRESH package. Too often I have been to salons that use old tools that have been lying around and who knows what type of bacteria is on them. The salon itself is clean and looks nice and not all run down like some.
Overall, I was very pleased and will be going back. Maybe I lucked out with the nail tech I got as a walk-​in, but I can only hope next time is as great!

Went in for my first time because I read good reviews. No one said anything to me and I just stood there. I wasn’t sure who to speak to and after about a minute I just walked out. I can’t speak on the nail service but customer service was awful. I ended up going to Mimi’s Nails around the corner. There are plenty of options and I won’t waste my money at an establishment that doesn’t even acknowledge me.

The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because Cindy and her sister Lynn do an amazing job. Lisa is also the pedicure master.
However, the customer service sucks! Expect to wait if you have an appointment. They speak very loudly to each other and on the phone while performing services.
In the summer and on the weekends, the TV is usually set to the Disney channel to accomodate the staff’s children who are running around and yelling.
I will NOT be back again.

It seems clean and reasonably well-​organized, but I felt like my services were perfunctory and the polish quality doesn’t seem that good.
My mani-​pedi only took around 35 minutes total, which felt rushed. Their polish colors are pretty limited– lots of shades of red, but not a lot of blue or green options, which I was looking for. My polish also has lots of weird holes in it. They aren’t obvious unless you look closely, but if I’m going to go out and pay for someone else to do my nail, I’d like to have flawlessly smooth polish. It’s also clear that there are two layers of color on my nail because the second layer starts further up the nail than the first one.
Overall the effect is fine– I went on Saturday and everything still look good on Wednesday, but if I’m going to pay $ 32+tip for a mani-​pedi, I’d like more careful service.

The reason I visit this salon quite frequently is because it’s clean and well organized. A big plus, the staff is experienced and friendly. I have received the best pedi’s and color gel mani’s at this spa! The tools they use to complete their services are sanitized for every client the correct way! My only advice if you are in a rush to get serviced on a Friday or Saturday, please make an appointment they can get busy, if you don’t make an appointment do not complain about the wait.

Do not waste your time or money going to this place. They do a half a** job! I paid $ 15 dollars extra for gel polish on 2 different occasions and Polish started peeling in 2 days. I went back to get them fixed and they told me I had to pay again. What a rip off! Never coming back!

Now, every now and then I try a different salon based on recommendation. I absolutely love my nail salon (Fantasy Nails: Woodmoor Shopping Plaza) but a coworker visited this place and suggested I give it a try. While the nail technician was friendly, my gel manicure turned out horrible. I selected a light pink which I love but it turned out streaky and unpolished. After it was over, I looked at my nails and thanked the technician and asked why my nails looked they way they did. It was further explained, by who I believe is the manager, that it always happens with light colors which I clearly didn’t believe given the number of manicures I’ve had in my life. That prompted me to ask why I wasn’t informed of this in the beginning and the lady just shook her head. Customers actually said, ‘you’re right… they should have told you something when you selected the color.‘
Anyhow, she asked if I could stay and I said I could come another day and she seemed upset. Now this was the worse part, why be upset that I don’t have the time to fix a mistake which was made? Should everyone plan to spend hours in the salon in case someone messes up? Umm, me thinks NOT!
Anyhow, I scheduled an appointment and ended up coming back five days later and the manicure was redone by a gentleman. Since they knew I was the ‘streaky nails’ girl, I was treated as though I was inconveniencing them which was completely unprofessional. I just wanted to get out of there. The manager (lady at front station to the left) and man were really rude and I barely said a word. They really know how to isolate a person and for that; I will never return and would caution any new clients.

Easily the best nail salon I’ve been to in MC. The ladies are friendly, they don’t try to incessantly up-​sell you, they do a good job, and the price is right! The pedicure massage chairs are super comfy and they have nice flat screen TVs and a decent selection of color choices. They also don’t try to rush you out so you have plenty of time to dry under the fans.

There’s not much to say about a nail salon seeing as they all have the same services offered, just some better than others. Its always the same: toxic nail polish fumes in the air, feet getting scrubbed away from being covered all winter, people going behind closed doors to get hair waxed from I-don’t-even-wanna-know where, women looking (sometimes creepily staring) at other women cuz there is nothing else to do, and the techs speaking in their language to each other, most likely about you…
This place is no different, but it is most definitely my new fav! I never have to wait long even though this place is always busy. The only service I get is a fill-​in for my nails and Lindsey is my go-​to tech. Always perfectly shaped, no gaps near my cuticles, and very natural looking. Prices are average for a nail salon, but you can’t put the tip on your card so bring cash.

To me, eyebrow waxes are one of those scary necessities. As usual, I entered this salon (my first time there) with trepidation. Would it be clean? Would I lose half my eyebrow? Would the lady tell me that it’s good that I came because I went too long between visits and now my eyebrows definitely need a waxing (a woman up in Baltimore used to tell me this every time I went!)?
The Nail Art & Spa was empty at 10 am this morning. The prices were reasonable, though I laughed at the $ 8 charge for an «eyebrown» wax. I was greeted by a male immediately and told to go to the back room. The woman who did my eyebrows was quick and the result was fine. She asked me if I wanted my lip waxed (which then made me completely self-​conscious), but she seemed very professional overall. There were oddly-​placed scuff marks on the wall above the table where you lie down, but overall the place seemed clean.
Like other reviewers mentioned, the Nail Art & Spa seems like one of the best options in the 20 904 zip code. Wasn’t completely impressed but wasn’t turned away either. I will be back.
There is plenty of parking in the lot. Note that the salon takes credit cards, but you can’t add gratuity to the bill, so bring some cash for tips.
