La Bella Nails

Love this place! Been going there for at least 3 years. Girls are so friendly! I have a baby so it’s hard to be away for too long, they can do both mani and pedi at the same time, works for me perfectly.
Also waxing is great at this place!

When I’m in Northern Virginia, this is my go to nail salon. Jamie and Eli have done my nails before, and they are both great. They are extremely meticulous in their work, and they are accommodating.
I always walk in, without an appointment, and I am seen right away. The salon is clean, and the prices are competitive for the area.
NOTE: I have messed up my nails before (because I didn’t let them dry all the way), and I came back and they fixed it for me, no questions asked. I appreciate that type of customer service because I know that many salons are not like that. The personal touch goes a long way.
If you’re looking for a QUICK mani or pedi by experienced professionals, I suggest you check out La Bella Nails.

This is one of my favorite nail salons in Arlington. The salon is clean and beautifully decorated and they have an excellent selection of polishes. Everyone who works here is friendly and accommodating. I’ve been here several times and have never had a bad experience. The prices are comparable to other salons in the area, but they sometimes have weekday «lunch specials» on various services.

i love it here. it’s clean, the mani/​pedis also waxing too. last and they do a great job. the employees want you to be happy and are all so nice.

Decent manicure and pedicure but I couldn’t help but feel like there was an attitude or a general disinterest in customers, which is a problem. At first there were only two of us in the salon. I felt like I was being rushed through my pedicure and manicure because they were closing in 45 minutes — that’s way too early. Later, another girl came in seeking a regular manicure with no polish. I had one person working on my hands and one person working in my feet. They made her wait easily another five minutes while both girls kept doing what they were doing. This didn’t seem right to me and I felt odd sitting there with two technicians meanwhile this other person wants something simple and should be helped. They didn’t really understand that she wanted a manicure without polish either and verified it with her several times almost like they weren’t pleased but maybe that happened because they had never encountered something like that before — who knows. I feel that customer service is important and although my mani-​pedi was ok, I wasn’t happy with the energy or how I saw clients being treated. But if you are close by and want something quick and good, feel free to stop in and they will get the job done.

Three weeks later my shellac is still intact! They also give you a punch card so 11^th manicure is free!

Great service, open early on a sunday, I always like that. Clean, chic interior. Fair market prices. My mani chipped after about 3 – 4 days, kind of a bummer but such is the case for non-​spa manicures. I’d go back if I was in the neighborhood.

I love La Bella nails. They’re really quick– most of the time they do your mani/​pedi simultaneously, but they also take the time to do a great job. My manicures always last at least 4 days without any noticeable chips, and they’re always very friendly. I’m moving and I plan to keep coming back anyway!

These ladies are awesome and the place is so clean. Warm, friendly nice staff and extremely convenient for me. My mani’s last about a week with these girls and no chipping. Overall its a VERY pleasant experience :-)

Staff was very friendly and the service was quick — I was able to get the mani-​pedi (for $ 35!!) on my lunchbreak!

Very modern, clean and super efficient. Service is well done. Price was reasonable. Technicians are skilled. Even for a limited time i had, Dia did everything on time not skipping any steps. I will highly recommend this salon.

Located underneath Randolph Towers, this nail spa is within walking distance of the Ballston metro. I don’t expect the same type of service with a walk-​in that I would at say Red Door, but what I got from La Bella didn’t rank too high in my experiences with «cheap» nail salons. For $ 30, I received a pedicure that lasted an hour and a half because there were only two technicians working. Thankfully I was with a friend so we could laugh at the experience, but it was a little odd to clip 2 toenails, leave for 5 minutes, come back, then leave again! I might have missed all the sterilization tools/​processes which make me comfortable… but I’m not sure if I did. When I let my tech know I was uncomfortable with her using a raiser, she threw an ancient pumice stone in my water… to sterilize it? When she returned, she pulled out something that looked like a cheese grater and proceeded to «grate» my feet because she said it was better. Eeeeeek! Next time I’ll probably cough up some extra cash and go to a spa.
