Tiffany Nails & Spa

Best service ever, I followed David to his new place. I have been a customer of David for over 2 years now and after trying every where in Alexandria, Arlington & Fairfax. I’m glad I find him and since then I have been a customer and will not go anywhere else. Best customer service too

Worst mani/​pedi since I moved to DC a year ago. Technicians stayed on their cell phones throughout the services. Very limited gel polish color choices. Messy/​dirty interior. I had to ask multiple times to have my nails cut down (probably didn’t hear me because of the cell phone chatting). I went home and had to re-​trim my cuticles.
I decided to try this nail salon based on the high Unilocal rating. There must have been some typos.

This was my first visit to this salon, but it will also be my last. My daughter and I were walk-in’s and there was no wait, which was nice. But I was quickly annoyed when they immediately tried to upsell me on additional services the moment I sat down. Sorry, but when I go to a salon, I look for it to be a relaxing experience and I certainly don’t want to feel like I’m at a used car lot.
As for the quality of the mani & pedi, I’ve certainly had better. The woman who did my pedicure was way too rough. When I asked her to soften up, there was a language barrier and another technician had to translate. But what I found to be most off-​putting was that the manicurist gave me my manicure while I was getting my pedicure. My daughter told me that she’d seen this done before in other salons, but personally, I hated it. At first, whe was running around the chair from left to right, but then she kept reaching over me to get from hand to hand. Ugghhh… it not relaxing at all. She even skipped the top coat, which I didn’t realize until I was at the drying station. Frankly by that point, I was too eager to leave to bother going back to her to request it.
The sign in the window said ‘under new management’, but in this case, new doesn’t mean it’s good.

COCKROACHES! Do not go here. I repeat… do not go here. My friend and I were in the area and based on the Unilocal ratings… which either must have been an inside job or from blind people, we decided to try it out. A lady started doing my friend’s pedicure while I sat with my feet in the water waiting for my pedicure. I didn’t mind waiting because my friend and I were chatting. After a while, I was worried it was just one girl working and since we were planning on mani and pedi’s, I wanted to make sure someone else was there. I asked if she had help and another lady appeared from a back room. She looked disheveled and sat at my chair and looked around for I guess tools but never started my nails. While she was looking for whatever a businessman appeared from the room she exited and rolled out without paying. Weird. Just then a tattooted guy entered and immediately sat down at my chair and quietly said he is taking over. He looked like he may have just gotten up without showering but I’m like, maybe he is an awesome pedicurist despite his dirty appearance. Just as I was trying to relax out of the corner of my eye I see a huge cockroach crawling toward my boots. I scream «cockroach» and he squashes the cockroach with his shoe. My friend’s pedicurist wiped it up with a tissue and then continue to do her nails. My friend and I were texting each other, «i don’t know how comfortable I feel here, let’s skip the mani’s «when I notice a small cockroach on my chair walking toward my crotch at the same time my friend noticed another one on the floor. I jump up and say, «that’s it. I’m done, please stop» and my guy jumps up and walks away, looking relieved he did not have to continue with my pedi. No one apologized. Disgusting. The closest to an apology was my friend’s girl who although did not issue an «I’m sorry» instead said they were doing construction and to come back after the new year. The only person who had a good time was an elderly man who watched as my friend and I ran outside and jumped up and down as we shook out our jackets and sweaters for any more cockroaches. I would give negative stars if I could. Fingers crossed we don’t get a toe fungus.

Note: This 5 star review is for the massage only. Their deep tissue massage is what a deep tissue massage is suppose to be. Being an athlete, I like my massages hard to penetrate my awesomely huge muss-​kels. LOL. Half true. I have no muscles. But I do have a sore back and a busted shoulder from surgery and being old. I digress. The nail salon ambiance is nothing special, very eh. The massage room was decent. Dark, clean, with soft music playing made it feel relaxing. $ 50 for an hour of deep tissue is a steal! Especially when he really beats you up and your back actually feel relaxed afterwards. My back felt so good afterwards. Will definitely come back for the massage.
Had the mani/​pedi too. Average at best from the lady I had — 2 stars for the service after the lady cut my cuticle too deep and started bleeding and the pretended that nothing happened. Shady. But this is independent of the massage so needless to say, I won’t be back for the nail services.

The therapuetic massage here is very good and well worth the $ 70 for one hour. Linda has been my therapist the past two visits, but all the therapists do great work. Enjoy!

With such incredibly high, consistent reviews, I thought I couldn’t go wrong in giving this place a try. I was in desperate need for a shellac manicure and pedicure for my upcoming wedding… as well as a go-​to place for future regular visits. Sadly, my experience does not warrant a return trip to Tiffany Nails.
My visit started with my pedicure… which seemed fine at first, although my technician was ridiculously distracted by her male ‘teacher’ who came to visit and chat with her… and then proceeded to answer her cell phone no less than 4 times during my pedicure. I’m not sure if it is because she was distracted or if it was an indication of her ability, but the painting job was shoddy. The nails themselves are fine — but the area around and under my nails were also covered in polish.
When it came time for my shellac manicure, I was surprised that they didn’t have a sheer color to offer (especially given that these nail polish bottles are the most empty on their regular shelf as well). They tried to sell me on a bubble gum pink that was filled with sparkles — not really what I had in mind… but I had a really hard time convincing them of this; they kept trying to sell me on the colors they had.
In their favor, they were one of the lowest priced salons I’ve come across. I was also there with a friend whose nails were done much better than my own — so it looks like the service varies by technician.
While the visit was hardly a nightmare, I definitely won’t be going back. I will happily spend a few more dollars to hit Present Nails just a couple of miles away.

I went because I read all these awesome reviews and hated it. I was mad I tipped before he painted my nails.
When getting a manicure, I always get a really light pink. I OWN the color and get it all the time at Nails for You up the street. They do an awesome job, no problems. The guy had to repaint my nails TWO times because it was streaky, then he gave up and had someone else come over and do them.
I went late on a Friday and it was me and two other girls (who I didn’t know). When they walked past me on my way out they go, «Are you happy with your services? Because we aren’t!»

I enjoy getting my pedicures done here! (:

Very nice to us as walk-​ins. They adjusted their pricing for my young daughters. The girls even had nail designs thrown in for free. I will be returning.

Lana is awesome and meticulous. I def recommend this place. Bring cash for the tip as you can’t put it on your cc.

Great salon! Wonderful ladies.

I have been going to Tiffany Nail salon since it opened. Lisa and Lana do full sets and refill of nails really well and Helen is the best at a Pedicure I have ever had. I really do think this is a really good nail salon.

Lisa, the owner, is both efficient and accommodating. Her prices are reasonable and all the women who work with her pay close attention to detail and are always friendly. I’ve had Lisa do my waxing for years and she’s always thorough and gentle.
