Refresh Day Spa

Awesome! They provided me excellent service with the Deluxe Pedicure, a 30 minute hot and deep tissue massage, and a fill-​in. I was already thinking about sharing a spa with a few friends for the next visit. They have so much more. Please! ask for Bebe, she’ll hook your feet up; Mela, she’ll relax those muscles down; and Rose, the store owner, who’ll make sure that you’ll leave a happy customer. It’s important to make an appointment for speciality services.

I used to love this salon, but my last two visits were excessively long and the quality was poor. Today, I came in for a manicure and pedicure. The pedi was slightly longer than normal, but the manicure was extremely long. All in for 2.5 hours! The technician asked if I had time, but I was expecting an hour not 2.5 hours. I ended up with a bleeding finger and a very poor manicure. She started to correct manicure, but I stopped her. I did not have the time. I will be removing polish today.

Nail tech that greeted me when I came in was unfriendly, took very long (no customers but myself), did services I did not ask for which she charged me for and put gel polish all over my skin. I mean no disrespect but learn English. When someone says «fill-​in» it’s not gel manicure because you don’t know how to do it and think you going to be left a tip. This snail nail service I received will not receive my business anymore. I left no tip hopefully you take this as one.

First timer! Great place and conveniently located! Check the place out for anything nails! Ask for Rose!

Very nice and relaxing spa! Service is great and it’s a very relaxing and soothing atmosphere. Good prices, a nice little gem in falls church!

This place is a hidden gem in Falls Church/Tyson’s area. I have had mani/​pedis and waxings there and love it every time. The mani/​pedi area is gorgeous and they do really high quality and luxurious services – it’s my new fav salon!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I went for a massage that was horrible. Seemed like the lady had zero training. It was a glorified back rub if that. Half way through I requested some music to drown out the noise of the people talking in the pedicure area and a kid watching tv in the back. she came back with her cell phone playing some crappy music that kept cutting in and out. It was not relaxing at all. And then, I and needed to get their tax ID in order to get reimbursed by my insurance company and they REFUSED to give it to me, which is bizarre unless they are operating illegally. No other place has given me any problem at all on this. So, I cannot get reimbursed and the service was horrible.

Yes the salon is nice but my gel manicure is TERRIBLE! I’m so upset I didn’t do it myself like I had planned to. The polish doesn’t shine, the woman who did my nails cut my finger and it started bleeding, and she got a little upset that I was picking out the faults in my nails. I let her know that if I’m paying for this service it needs to done the right way. I’m so upset that I paid $ 30 for this. The nails look like they’ve grown out a week already. Ugh. Never again! I should’ve known something was up when there was no one in the shop on a Sunday. Smh. #YelpFail

Walked in midday on a weekday and received a nice welcome, and my technician was friendly and helpful with choosing a polish. But there were two major issues with my nail service. First, the tools used on me were not sanitized. When I walked in two technicians were doing each other’s nails at the station I was seated at, and my technician proceeded to use the same tools on me. Second, my technician felt like she needed to cut more and more skin even after I asked her not to. I got a manicure there about a week ago, so I really only needed filing and a polish change. I had to constantly remind her to please be careful and not cut too much.

I REALLY wanted to like this spa. (warning, long… grab some popcorn.)
Background: I was going to San Diego for a week, and me being a huge procrastinator forgot to make a nail fill appt at my regular salon, and plus they’re not even open on sundays, so i decided to try somewhere new to get a fill. (I have liquid gel extensions done with the little cone forms and the gel is brushed on and then cured.)
Actual review: I walked in on a Sunday at about 4:30 and there was only 2 other customers there. The lady greeted me and asked what service I wanted to get done. I showed her my hands, and said that I had GEL extensions and that I needed a fill. She said no problem, pick your color, and someone will help you in 5 minutes.
After waiting a short period of time, my manicurist says hi, and asks me what I want and I tell her that I have GEL nail extensions and wanted them filled in. (with GEL) She says of course of course, removes my old polish color and starts buffing my nails to prep for the fill. She actually buffed onto my cuticle that I got a cut on my left thumb that hurt for the next two days. I thought, «whatever, beauty is pain!!»
As for the fill, she filled in my nails with acrylic powder… even though I did tell two ladies I had liquid gel extensions. But in all honesty, the whole acrylic thing didn’t really bother me. As long as my nails were filled in and weren’t looking gross, it was fine, a little bothersome, but better than looking like a werewolf lady.
After, she asked me if I wanted to do a gel polish instead of regular polish bc it lasts longer, blah blah (aka it costs more) and at first I was hesitant, but then I was like «treat yo self». I said yeah. The color I chose was a beautiful watermelon-​barbie pink.
Painting wise: I was unimpressed with the paint job. I don’t know if because another client had come in and was trying to get a set of acrylics before it closed and was trying to rush through me, i honestly have no idea. She did 2 coats of gel polish but some of them were uneven and one finger would be super sheer and the next would be super opaque. My friend who has only gotten her nails done once in her life and always says everything looks nice even told me my nails looked terrible. –_​_​_​_​_​–
The price before tip was 35 and i left a tip (even if service sucks I leave a tip of 20%– people do make a living off of tips, so i try not to be an asshole customer) it ended up being 42 dollars. I only saved 8 dollars compared to my regular salon and she did a sub-​par job. I was never offered water of tea or anything either.
pros:
–technician was sweet, and compliment my eyebrows
–quiet salon
–decent prices.
I have no idea if I will return or not.

Awesome.
I had a really stressful doctors appointment, and though I usually do my own nails, I decided to go wild and crazy and get a pedicure. AND I WAS SOOOO GLAD I DID.
Rose was super gentle, and very thorough. She really took her time. And I was really impressed with her appearance. She had her hair and makeup done, and her NAILS WERE DONE. I’ve never SEEN such a thing. Usually, the manicurists I go to have no nail polish on whatsoever (which i understand, as it’s hard to upkeep your own nails when you’re doing them for other people), so I was way impressed. She looked very professional.
The pedicure was super relaxing, and $ 25 for a pedicure is an absolute steal.
Rose is my hero. I think I’m going to name my kids after her. All of them.

Great service and very friendly staff. The new look and feel is really relaxing! In addition to men’s manicure and pedicure, the massage is also very, very good. I would highly recommend them.

Home for the holidays and needed a pedi. Badly. Of all people, my step-​dad recommended this place. Figured I’d give it a try. It was wonderfully relaxing. Clean, calming atmosphere, friendly staff. I had Rosie, who was awesome. She took her time and was very careful and precise with each toe. This will absolutely be my go-​to when I’m in town.

Amazing, best place to get a pedicure anywhere around. With nail salons in every shopping center it’s hard to know which is a goldmine and which one is a bust. This place is a steal! Amazing prices, lovely ladies working, quality polish, complimentary drinks. You name it. Even have their license to operate on the window and the place is pristine clean! Every time I’m in the area I come here.

YESSSSS!!! I finally found my holy grail nail salon! I just had the most relaxing, meticulous pedicure ever. I saw a sign out front that they are trying to get their liquor license so I see glasses of wine while getting my pedi in the very near future :)
Pros:
— Super friendly and welcoming staff
— Strong, brand new massage chair
— Free beverage offer (water, coffee, tea etc…)
— Super clean
— Relaxing private pedicure area in the back
— Full spa services
— Very reasonable prices, $ 25 for a pedicure with specialty pedicures that increase by just $ 5 each
— Hot towel included
— Amazing leg/​foot massage
— They take their time and are OCD about making your toes look perfect :)
Cons:
— This place is located in an old strip mall so can easily be missed from the main road
*Tip — Check in on Unilocal and get 10% off of your service!

MYLEE hooked me up guys! I came here on a Saturday night 30 minutes before they closed and she still gave me good quality service! She took her time to do my fill! And she did the whole pedicure with an elaborate toe design! The best part. She told me everything she was doing step by step, and made sure I was getting everything I wanted! The place is clean and everything works and everything is labeled. And none of the fans have dust on it! It’s worth the money! The first time I felt relaxed at a bail salon in a long time. They made me feel welcome even though it was 30 minutes before closing time :)) the proof is in the pictures!

I absolutely loved my experience at refresh. Its a new business and the establishment is clean and cozy with soft amber lights that hang above the pedicure massage chairs. Denise is the tech I worked with. She’s very nice and did an excellent job with my pedi and shellac manicure. One additional thing I love about this shop is that they have tons of shellac colors to choose from so if you’re into shellac this is a great place. Happy with their work a week later and will be returning

Don’t be dismayed by the strip mall location — excellent quality, clean salon, great experience!
Last night, my friend and I went in for last minute pedicures (and a mani for me). We have long been on the lookout for a solid nail place as our former favorite has gone significantly down in quality of service while up in price. In our scouting, generally one of us gets an ok pedi and one of us gets crap — not the case here. The women who performed our services were friendly and knowledgable about their products. No upselling. No rush (even though we kept them well after closing). Incredible attention to detail. It was a quiet, relaxing experience, and the prices were more than reasonable. We’re both thrilled to find a new spot close to home.

Super clean place, friendly and warm staff and reasonable prices. Will definitely go back for a Pedicure and try other services.

I just recently moved from
New york city and was worried that I would not find a good and affordable nail salon here in Va. That is until I found Refresh Nail Spa. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, the prices are affordable, and best of all, the quality of service is excellent. I have recommended Refresh to all my friends, and they have earned my business and loyalty. I won’t be going anywhere else for my massage and nails!
