Nail Trix

The best thing about nail trix is their prices !!! I got a manicure and pedicure for $ 35! I’m not a regular nail maintainer– just an every once and a while as a treat kind of person. I’m assuming if you regularly get your nails done you would look for different things than me. But they have a great selection of polishes, things seem clean, and in two visits I’ve never had to wait for service. Ask for Berna, she gave a rockin’ foot massage and wasn’t super chatty so I could just relax and space out for a bit. I was also super pleased with how my nails looked!

I went to this nail salon yesterday to have the acrylic taken off my of my natural nails. I decided to get a basic manicure in order to give my nails a rest. I should have known upon entrance that I wasn’t going to get a great manicure. The Nail Polish and racks were overly dusty and I didn’t trust that the instruments were well sanitized but I reasoned that I was probably being too judgmental and harsh. But, I just wasn’t impressed with the overall cleanliness of the place.
Also, the nail tech didn’t soak off the acrylic. He plucked them off with a fake nail. It didn’t hurt but I don’t think that was the most effective way to do that. Then, he buffed my nails with the electric buffer to the point that they are now super soft and tender. He barely filed them properly, used a cheap base/​top coat and got polish all over my hand. The whole job was super rushed (granted it was a busy Friday afternoon). I was charged $ 15 for this and was told I was getting a discount because it is normally $ 20. Uh huh, sure it is. Honestly, I could have done ALL of this myself for half of the price.
Bottom line: this area is saturated with nail salons that provide better quality work and I won’t be returning to this one.

I came in this evening at about 6:40pm for a polish change and the manicurist was polite as first. But then she kept insisting that I get other services which was extremely annoying!!! I ended up getting my polish changed on my toes and my eyebrows done only because I was in rush !! My overall experience was okay nothing special she actually did a great job. I would probably visit again.

Really friendly but my manicure was just bad — bubbles in the top coat, jagged and uneven edges. I often enjoy a quick, inexpensive manicure but really would not recommend this place.

So I’m updating my review because the quality of this salon has gone down. I got the worst pedicure job by the guy in there. The lady who did my nails couldn’t seem to stop scraping my nails making that God awful sound. My gel is now lifting. My nails look terrible. Won’t return to this dump.

Russian Roulette. Occasionally it’s great, most times, NOT. If good customer service is not important to you. If you don’t have anywhere special to go, — or don’t care if your nail polish starts chipping in two days, this is the place for you. I wasted my last $ 40 here. There are far too many nail salons in DC MD & VA to tolerate the inconsistent service going on here.

My pedicure was great! The Hispanic lady was very nice and attentive! She is the reason it is «1 star». But when it was time to get my nails done… I had three techs work on my hand and had to move mid-​service! The gentleman was not very customer service oriented, he got an attitude when I apparently did t gold my hand the way he wanted… but I don’t speak body language and sounds! All he had to do was nicely tell me the best he could or be patient because of the language barrier. He nicked my cuticle and when I pulled my hand back and said «hurt» he smiled… are you serious! So of course I paid before my nails we polished, and while he ran my card I put my shoes on to prevent smudging. He came over and tried to tell me to hurry up so he could paint my nails and put my shoes on later… excuse me? Needless to say, I finished putting my shoes on and then put my hands out to be polished. The gentleman ruined my experience and of course left acrylic and such on my hands… the Hispanic lady did a great job, but he ruined it for them!
Customer service is very important to me. If I am giving you my hard earned money, I expect for you to earn it just like I do at my job!

I’ve been coming here for about a year now or so! I found this place after I was tired of spending tons of money on mediocre work. I’ve been to high end salons and small places but I learned, it’s not about the location, it’s about the technician. I was recommended TAMMY and instantly fell in love. I’m very particular and critical because I have OCD but Tammy literally amazes me everytime ! My nails and toes are always flawless and done to perfection. Recently Tammy went on maternity leave so I tried another tech there named TRUE; she’s just as amazing! She takes her time and is very critical, true gave me the best pedicure I have ever had in my life! Lol. Like seriously, my toes were sooo perfect they looked photoshopped ! I recommend Tammy & True. They are really the best, so I also recommend you make an appointment ahead of time because it can be hard to get in with them.

They do decent nails, but I don’t think they clean their utensils. One of the nail techs gave me a coupon card for $ 5 off every time I come but I’ve only been several times. I used to get my eyebrows done here, but I could never remember the lady who did the best so I went elsewhere. Once I was here getting a gel mani and I was foiled up waiting for the acetone to do its job, then the nail tech left to go watch a game of cards being played at one of the pedicure stations! Yes, nail techs betting while playing cards! So, I didn’t say nothing at first because it takes maybe 10 min or so for the soak, meanwhile… I see my nail tech join in on the next hand then 15 minutes, 3 or 4 rounds later I had to call her over. That was the last time I was there…

Nail Trix is showing its age. I used to come here semi-​regularly when it first opened but rarely go anymore.
I went yesterday on a whim since it’s the closest nail shop to my house. These days, it’s looking pretty run down, as in broken pedi chairs and dirty, paint splattered walls and floors.
One of the guys did my mani pedi and since he took his time, I was able to relax. If only the massager on the pedi chair worked! I really like the square-​round shape he gave my fingernails but he left some of them a little ragged and I already have a couple of little chips. Good thing I remembered they don’t always have a good selection of colors and took my own polish.
The mani pedi and a wax came to $ 43. There are other salons where I can get better work done for the same price.

Do not go to this place…
I recently went to this place to get my eyebrows arched, gel manicure, and a pedicure. I wanted the guy there to do my eyebrows, because in the past he has done a very good job. This time around, he left extra hairs that were curled up on my brow and my forehead broke out really bad. I’m used to the eyebrow waxing being a hit or miss. However, what I did not appreciate was the pedicure and the gel polish service. The technician who did my pedicure did an okay job with one foot and halfway did anything to the other foot. And my gel polish looked like my 8 year old cousin painted my nails. It was horrible and they wanted to charge me $ 35. Needless to say, I will not be going back to Nail Trix. I do not recommend this place. It is convenient, however, there a quite a few nail salons in that area, and I plan to give them a try.

You know you got a lousy fill-​in when you leave counting the number of days until you can get a do-​over. I gave it two stars because it was clean and Nancy was nice. That’s about it. The shape is too square, the gel is far too thick and the hand «massage» that followed my services was so half-​assed that I would rather have had none at all. Needless to say, I wont be back. My search continues…

I went here this past Saturday to get a pedicure. Nancy did mine, and it was o.k., but a little rushed! It came out o.k., but next time I will see someone else. The atmosphere was quieter than most nail salons though, which I liked.

This is my go-​to nail salon. I only see Tammy because she shapes my nails exactly the way I want and her polish job is tidy and smooth. I always love the way my nails look when I leave. I do not go here to relax as it’s not exactly a spa-​like atmosphere but I just want my nails to look good all the time and I get that here.

I recently went into Nail Trix with my mother, grandmother and daughter. My mom is a regular at Nail Trix so I thought I would give them a try. My grandma went first, getting a toe nail polish. The workers proceeded to take pictures of my grandmothers feet and laugh immediately after snapping the pictures. Number one, they took the pictures without my grandma’s consent or knowledge. Number two, after taking the picture, all the workers gathered together to look at the pictures, laugh, and speak in a different language.
After my mother realized what happened she told the nail technician that we no longer wanted to get our other services there. The lady began trying to explain herself by showing my mom the picture. Needless to say, we left and will NEVER go back.
My grandma just lost her husband of 20 years and is very fragile and I DO NOT appreciate someone making her feel any worse than what she already does. We thought taking her to get her nails done would be a nice surprise and it turned out to be a nightmare.
Terrible service!!!

I only go to see tina. She has been doing my nails for over 7 years and constantly provides high quality and professional service. She always takes her time when does my designs, exactly the way I like. She’s very patient and does not rush through so she can complete 1 client to move on to the next. If I cannot get her then I go home.

I only see Kim at this salon. She is still an English language learner but she has been able to tell me a little family history. Her father was a black military man her mother Vietnamese. She is the oldest of the salon and the best. She does not rush through a pedi and will give you the hot towel, oil, scrub and all. If she isn’t available I go home.
