United Nails

I had been using United Nails for a min. The services has dropped. I was highly disappointed in the way I was treated. Tim was the one that was doing my nails and don’t know what happen and he passed me over to one of the newest member of the salon. While his wife told me that Tim was not there… when I looked up, time was in the Pedicure chair talking on his cell phone. I am really disappointed b/​c I really liked them. That was a terrible experience. Told the man that I would like 2 nails fixed and he just ignored me… I again tempted to tell him of the 2 broken nails and again was ignored. When he took the nail polish off, I had a FUNGUS. He ignored that… I told him to take it off NOW. Also, I was a bit embarrassed b/​c they had a new client for a pedicure and she was saying that the pedicure bowl was dirty… and of course they come up with every excuse to explain the situation but never to say to the new client to go to another bowl… Never to ratify the issue. I had to wait 2 weeks to get my nails done again. I am now very happy to find Nail Spa right beside the Jimmy Johns. Not only are they nice but they use brand new files and buffers. They offer you water and snack. They give free massages after your nails are done. Pricey but worth it. Just because they may charge you 28 dollars… that is still a lot to have your nails not the way you want them to look. I wished I could had took a picture to let you see that I had a nail that was crooked. I wish you all new customer to read the review to make sure this is the place to spend your money on!

I’ve been going to United Nails four years and I absolutely adore Lin and Tim. Because of the shatty customer service in our area, when you find a place you love, you stick with them. I usually wait for Lin but when I’m short on time, the other techs have been wonderful. I also admire their composure when a loud, rude customer comes in. Very professional, guys! Keep up the good work!

They are quick and and good prices. Just not very sanitary though. When waxing they double dip, that is gross. While getting nails done, I noticed bugs on the floor and around nail area. They might need an exterminater…

Every time I come I get service almost immediately. I have been living here for a few months now & I haven’t had any issues. I come here quite often and as long as I communicate what I want it comes out right every time. Would definitely recommend Timmy or Lin.

I want to start off by saying that the negative views are few. I started going here because it’s within walking distance of my apartment. The next reason I decided to go there is, because every other place I tried, they told me that I would have to let my own nails grow for two weeks before they could do anything. Well United nails ok is the best. Since I started going here and having my nails done, I get nothing but compliments from my friends, and people I don’t even know. They tell me how beautiful they look, want to know where the place is, how much it costs & how long it takes to have them done. The young man that does mine is named Tim. He must have went to art school, because he does such a beautiful job. He lets me pick out the polish color, but because he does such a beautiful job, I now let him do it. They have manicures & pedicures for men there too.

I’m a regular when it comes to eyebrow waxing. Truth be told, I’m looking for another location to do that. I’m not opposed to spending money for the services I request, but they charge for every single little thing. They don’t sterilize their materials, they are thrown in drawers. The eyebrow sticks used on previous customers are left in the wax. Every time I walk in the wax room (which is poorly lit, dirty, and over all unwelcoming) there are 4 – 5 sticks just sitting there. I ask them to change out the wax and make sure they are using a new stick for my visit. The pedicures are just okay. The spa pedicures aren’t that much different, yet $ 10-​$ 15 dollars more. I got my nails done here only one time and didn’t find the work that great to repeat it. Praying I can find a new eyebrow waxed soon. Oh, they don’t offer you drinks or any goodies… even when you are paying top dollar.

She always get my eyebrows shaped up nicely.

I was there
last week and got gel nails Tim did awesome job

Lyn is absolutely fantastic. Her manicures and pedicures are the best. Prices are good too.

Asked for a shellac manicure. They brought out the colors and a lady sat me down and soaked off my old shellac in a bowl. She said just one hand so you can look at colors. Put a towel over it and went to finish another customer. A guy sitting next to me doing another customer said put both hands in and removed the towel. I said she said just one hand. They spoke in their language and I ended up with both hands there. Sticking one out every once in a while to look for a color, which he then said stop touching them because your hands have nail polish remover and it will mess up the color set. So rude! He then proceeded to do my nails in between customers. My hands were covered in gel bc they were soaked off in a bowl. I’m used to each individual nail getting wrapped with a cotton ball and foil to remove gel. When he put gel polish on it looks like a 3yr old did it. The doors were opened the whole time and I ended up getting bitten by all these mosquitoes. Place doesn’t look too clean, and the overall experience was just horrible.

Best pedicure that I’ve had in a while. Flawless results and excellent customer service. Thank you Lynn! I’ve found my go to for all things nails.

Terrible. My nails look like a 3 year old applied press on nails. Also my leg became infected after the pedicure. Like another reviewer said they put tide in the foot bath.
The owner was very rude to his employees. I think it is obvious I will not be returning.

Ms Linn and her husband are the best. Her manicures are to die for. She cut cuticles with precision and with no hang nails afterwards. Her Gel nails are flawless. Her husband is a master at acrylics and nail design. Been going here 8 yrs and anytime I try somewhere else i am VERY disappointed and its a waste of time and money. The service is awesome. My daughter raves about their eyebrow waxing and eyelashes too.
Can’t go wrong with United Nails!

So there are some «nay sayers» on Unilocal and google+ for this place. The young lady who does my nails is fabulous. The prices are the best I have found and they are willing to haggle about total cost for extras. The shop is clean. I always get superb work and exactly what I want. I wish I could post a picture of all my valentine’s day nails! Each one is different. Any way. It is not a draw back, but the salon is so busy on the week end they have to find a way to speedily accommodate all customers. So while my acrylics were setting, the manicurist went to wax a lady’s eyebrows. So, if you want excellent, speedy, affordable salon services, this is the place to go. Also, they have a large soda fridge with beverages for purchase. A nail salon does not usually offer drinks to their customers unless they are over priced. Also, in Fairfax County, it is not against health code violation to double dip wax applicators. This is done in every salon I have ever been to. The heat from the wax is hot enough to kill any germs. It is a shame that some people want to destroy and defame a business because they enjoy being negative and have unrealistic expectations and think they are THE aficionado for what they Unilocal about with out being fair. I feel the other reviews are incorrect and ungracious. I have been to 5 salons in the surrounding areas and have had acrylics for more than 2 years and this is my favorite place. I waited to write a review until I had visited the place a few times to be sure that it was consistently above my expectations.

I went there for a manicure. Their posted hours are till 8pm. I sat down at 715pm. Was not offered drink, was treated as an inconvenience, and at 730pm they sprayed my nails with nail dry and basically kicked me out. I said I thought u close at 8pm, they said no. So I had to stand outside for 20 mins sobmy nails would dry. Very rude!

Not so clean. They actually use Tide detergent in the foot bath for pedicures. Stations dusty and unorganized. Overall, a poor experience that I wouldn’t recommend.
