Lovely Nails & Spa

Wonderful experience! I stopped getting pedicures a while back because places just weren’t sanitary. This PLACES was amazing. My daughter talked me into getting a manicure and pedicure and it was a wonderful experience. My nail technician Erick and he did a wonderful job. I will definitely go back.
As for the person who complained about him… well technically I don’t think that nail technicians are supposed to remove ingrown toe nails. This is a HUGE liability for the salon as well as the technician.

I recommend this place 10 000 000%! Not only are they the friendliest salon I’ve encountered, they’re also the most sanitary and perfessional.
Tiffany did a gorgeous job on my pedicure and manicure. She helped me pick out my colors and took her time. I never felt rushed or like an inconvience.
They use new tools every time. There are so many nail salons that use the same tools on different people. That means if someone has a toe fungus, you’re going to get it too. On top of that, once you’re done with your pedicure, someone cleans the tub immediately with soap and hot water
My clumsy self messed up two of my nails and Tiffany was so quick to fix it and was very patient. I apologized and she said it was okay, that it happens to everyone.
I will recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. I felt so relaxed, pampared, and cared for. Conversation was not forced or awkward, it was pleasant and enjoyable.
I love this salon and the people who work there. I can’t wait to go back!
My nails have never looked this good!
Thank you Tiffany!

Literally the BEST pedicure I have ever received. The staff was friendly and great attention to detail. So glad I found this place and can’t wait to try out their other services.

My sister and I found this place through Unilocal after my regular place overbooked and canceled my appt. This place did such a nice job with my nails. I was very impressed! I had Erik do my gel mani and pedi. He really listened to what I wanted and made sure to perfect it. I will definitely be back!

I had a great experience at Lovely Nails today!
Tiffany was my nail tech, and she took wonderful care of me. She helped fix an ingrown toenail I had, took her time throughout the whole mani/​pedi to do a great job, and happily did an extra coat on my nails when I asked. The polish looks perfect, and the mani/​pedi experience was wonderful.
The whole place is very well kept and clean, which really enhances the whole experience!

First time there and my last. I specifically told the gentleman (Erik) I had ingrown toe nails on my big toes (I know, yuck) and he did nothing and I mean nothing about them. I still have the damn things in there. I also told him not to worry when he took them out because it doesn’t hurt me. He still did NOTHING. We move on to my gel manicure. I should have just walked away but I stayed (stupid of me), he used the electric thing that is used on acrylic nails to remove my polish. I have had that done once before and it ruined my nails. I have to say, he was careful but still, it weakens your nails. There was no soaking for my manicure, no getting up to wash my hands, nothing! It is the fastest pedi/​shellac mani I have ever had. Both in less than an hour. I have to say the color looks nice, I just hope it lasts. My nails still looked jacked up from not properly removing the cuticles.
I give them one star because he did give me a good quick back rub and I mean quick. Even the pedi massage stunk. I’ve never really written a bad review before this is my first but I had to do it. I’m not sure if it was just the technician or just because it’s new management but the whole experience was bad. Not to mention, it cost me $ 10 more than my normal place. I should have just waited to go to my usual spot but I was in need of both. We’ll see if I have to head back to my normal spot next week. I will try to make the color last as long as possible!

Still amazing! They changed management and its even better. I had Tiffany and she gave me the best gel manicure I’ve ever had. I get my nails done every 2 – 3 weeks and have been for the past 10 years… so I consider myself somewhat of an expert on a good/​bad gel manicure ;). I also live in NYC and have gone to a lot of salons in my time and this is very clean, very good service, great selection of colors, good price, and skilled technicians.

This place is awesome! I first visited when they were still Fresh Nails, but I have to say that I like Lovely Nails even more. It’s spotlessly clean and has a nice, modern, spa feel. Michelle was my nail tech for a mani/​pedi and I got a great shoulder massage from the massage therapist on staff. (I didn’t catch his name). Michelle used keratin gloves during my mani, and they left my hands so soft. They also have one of those cool Japanese toilets in the restroom. This may be my new go-​to nail place.

First time visit but I will definitely return. Sandy took great care of me and went above and beyond. Very clean and I like that they apply a new scrub pad on the foot file.
Nice salon and reasonably priced. They also have a customer loyalty program to keep customers coming back. Nice marketing!

Amazing!!! I had Tiffany and my friend had Kevin. They were both great perfectionists. We also received complimentary back rubs!

I’ve been coming here for several years for my pedicures and have always had great technicians. Everyone has always been friendly and the salon is very clean!
My issue during my last three visits (around the time of «new management») has been the lack of technicians on hand and the inability to accommodate walk-​ins. I was the second person who signed in today and there was not one single person (customer or tech) in the mani/​pedi room, yet I was told to come back later because they had appointments coming up. It’s disappointing because they do a good job, but they lose business because they don’t have enough staff on hand.
So, I would definitely make an appointment and bring cash for your tip because, while they can add it to your bill, they don’t want to.

I just had a gel manicure with Johnny and it was amazing! He is such a friendly, well skilled nail artist and the whole spa has a very calming atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Fresh nails, poor business acumen. I came here because I had an hour and a half to kill and read such good reviews on Unilocal.Well i walked in at 7 and asked for a mani/​pedi and I was told that it was too late. They close at 8! Ew.

This is looong over due…
I typically don’t write review to the places I’ve been too, but the two people that did my liquid gel set and pedi were so sweet I wanted to give them credit. I didn’t catch their name, so I can’t properly acknowledge them. None the less, the petit long hair young lady did my pedi and the short hair woman did my nail.
I have to clarify that I WASN’T TOO HAPPY with my pedicure because what ever she put on my feet, granted make them super smooth (I have dry skin people), chipped the nail polish almost immediately. Needless to say, I walked away with smooth feet and awesome nail set (picture attached); so ‘meh’ to the chipped polish.
They were both quite attentive, especially the person doing my nail. I’m particularly picky and have asked for the modern pointed tip. It was clear she hasn’t done much pointed tip and it made me nervous during the whole process. However, she remain calm and try her best to accommodate. It was rough during the whole process because I wanted pointy tip, super pointy tip. We marched on and I’m very please with the outcome (we both were)!!!
Overall, I would definitely go back!

Finally a place that does not rush my experience when they are short staffed!
Apparently this place is under a new management. Which is commonly happening in most nails salons. So whoever had a bad experience, I sure did not get one!
For $ 55 I picked out the Colada Spa Pedicure. Come with exfoliating pineapple scrubs, mask, paraffin wax, colada lotion/​oil massage, of course the basics and nail polishing. Let me tell youuuu, that’s a lot of service for $ 55. Usually, I pay $ 45 and barely get a nice spa package.
I took Robert M. with me for a man-​pedi using the same package. His face was classic because he was so amazed by it. And his toes be looking FRESH!
Kathy did a great job on my toes and really cleaned through. She was very sweet and made sure I was comfortable. We even received complimentary drinks which was refreshing. They used clean nail utensils and made sure the salon itself was tidy.
Overall, extremely happy and satisfied. I will definitely be coming back. Besides, time for a gel-​manicure!
–PLEASE NOTE–
Bring cash for tip. Tip is not included on the bill even though they accept cards. Most business pay major fees to include tips.

I love this salon so much!!! This is my go to place in Nova for mani and pedi. Helen is so sweet and she always makes my nails look flawless. If you want great quality, relaxing and clean salon you should come and take your business here. The location is great too right near old town fairfax.

I called up yesterday and asked if the salon was open on Sunday. The person who answered the phone said yes then made me a 1200 appt for a mani/​pedi. At 1115 am Sunday I received a phone called saying they are canceling my appt because they are closed today. This experience alone is enough to make me NEVER call them back fro another appt. Terrible customer service.

This is my third visit to this nail salon and I have sent some friends. Unfortunately work quality and prices are inconsistent. The first time for a gel french manicure I paid $ 25; the second time was $ 35 for a nude nail polish, but on that day i just assumed it was due to Gel on 3 fingers that had to be removed. On that occasion I had Kathy and her service was incredible. This time I came with my nails cleaned at 1100 to find only one person working and I was told to come back in one hour. When i came back i asked for an american french manicure (with a sofer white for a more natural effect). was not impressed with the work of Heather… and i was charged $ 40… while Heather explained to the customer next to me that under new management her French manicure would now be 35 $ instead of $ 40. So, was it the softer white that caused the price hike? Also extra polish/​gel on the side of my fingers and a chip on each indexes. So never again!!!

A+++++I love this salon. Very accommodating, great atmosphere. Clean facilities. Helen was my technician today. I have had the opportunity to have my nails done by all of the technicians there. I have always been satisfied! If you haven’t tried Fresh Nails, you should. You won’t be disappointed! Many colors to choose from! Don’t wait-​call now!

I finally found a perfect place and best person to do my nails regularly! First time i came here, staff was very friendly and accommodating. The place is neat and clean. My nail technician, Kathy, was amazing. She really knows what she is doing. She knew how to clean the deep sides of my toes and the leg massage was a real massage unlike other places that my legs was knead like bread dough. Shes very friendly and knows how to treat her customers. Every employee was also very professional and clean about their work. Going back there now!

Service was decent and the place was clean but it was expensive for a spa pedicure. I always look forward to a leg massage with my pedis but the lady must’ve been tired as the massage was just a simple leg rub with oil. The polish is chipping off after only two weeks and I can usually go anywhere else and the polish stays on for at least a month. Will not return.

LOVE this place! Today was my first visit. Got a full set and a paint change on my toes. Oh. My. Word. The service was awesome! The salon was so clean. And I absolutely love the job Van did! Can’t wait to go back!

Helen is the BEST! I only say Helen because she took care of me on my first visit but EVERYONE there is soo friendly and nice. They knew what they were talking about and they knew exactly what I wanted.
I am so picky when it comes to my nails but I said almost nothing. I got the liquid gel for the first time and I will continue getting them. There are a few places that does Liquid Gel and most of the time its not even Liquid Gel but acrylic (They even prove it to you)!
Complimentary drinks and sweets. My little one was with me and they made him feel very comfortable.
I will be coming back to visit!

I have lived in NOVA for 4 years and this is the best nail salon I’ve found! They are patient and on time for appointments. Evon is the best!!!

This place is ridiculously expensive. $ 40 for a mani-​pedi!
I’m also mad that they only had 3 nail technicians on a Friday evening. Most nail salons have a full working staff at this time of day and week (when most women get off work and need their nails done for the weekend). I went in and they said it was going to be a 5 min wait… I ended up waiting 20 mins.
They have a lot of Essie colors and in general just a lot of colors overall. They do have gel colors as well, but I wish they had those nail palettes to see what the color looks like when it is painted on (like at other nail salons). It is so hard to tell what the gel color looks like when it is just in the bottle.
The interior is clean and spacious. I like the tile floors as well. The décor is modern and has that «spa» feel to it.
Anyways, overall they did a good job. I don’t have any complaints about the outcome, but nothing spectacular stood out in my eyes either. I’ll probably just continue to go to my regular nail salon down the street … that actually does a great job for an average price. (Nail Passion)

Overpriced as nail salons go and as for the results of our party of five persons went, not worth it at all. The place is very clean but that is about all the good I can say about them. Save your money and look elsewhere, there are a host of spas in the area that have better results and cost less to boot.

You can eat off the floor of this salon! It’s impeccably clean!!! Very trendy and stylish! So many gel polish colors to choose from. Yvonne was great! Very nice and personal. I like that she was honest about the time and how long each person had to wait. I would rather be turned away then be made to wait longer than I expected or was told.
Yvonne did a fantastic job on my nails and I have no bubbling. They even have child size /​character spa pedicure chairs! Never seen that before!

I had a spa pedicure and gel manicure with Yvonne today that was, without any close second, the best manicure and pedicure I have ever had. She was so professional, delightfully personable and made the entire experience relaxing and restful. I absolutely recommend the few extra dollars for the spa pedicure. A top drawer service at this very elegant salon.
The salon is immaculate and so Zen, but very elegant and inviting. The pedicure chairs are incredible and I loved the whimsy of the two little children’s chairs!
I will become a regular client of Yvonne’s. I was completely impressed.

Best place I’ve been to in years! The staff is friendly and attentive. I personally ask for Jennifer every time because she is absolutely wonderful, but when I go with friends or family they always speak highly of any staff member who takes care of them. I highly recommend Fresh Nails!
