Couture Nails

Love my new nails! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and they look amazing! I didn’t get her name but she had a pendant with the letter h she took her time and looked at every nail to see if it was the same. Definitely going back.

I’ve been getting waxed my entire life and I’ve never had a skin reaction like this. It was my first time getting waxed here and I whole heartedly regret it. Within a day after the entire area (eyebrows and lip) I had waxed had broken out in gross pimples. I have clear skin and have never had this reaction to being waxed. I have no idea why it happened here, but I would suggest stay away. The lady who did my eyebrows did a terrible job at making them even and now I have to grow them out to get them fixed elsewhere.

Every time I have been here I have received good service. They are always attentive and do a thorough job. What’s included in their basic pedicure is much better than other places.

This is the only nail shop I will go to. Vicky does my nails and she’s amazing and I get the most amazing pedi’s there as well. Absolutely love going there. They are so welcoming!

I found this shop by way of my nail tech when he moved. I have not been disappointed. Granted, he is the only one that does my nails, but I have had pedis done by a few of the girls. They have all been decent of not downright great. I also pay close attention to the other patrons when I am there… to gauge the other techs in case I need an emergency fix or something and my tech is not there… I have been pleasantly surprised to note that just about everything I have seen completed has been nicely done. I definitely recommend this place. Not a very luxurious spot by looks, but the people are always nice and Kevin is absolutely amazing!

I used to go here but last time I went I had a very young girl who seemed inexperienced. She was very nice but it wasnt worth my money. I should give it another ttry though.

Vivian is the only competent technician. If you get your nails done by any other staff, you will be highly pissed, they will be visibly uneven, not one, but most of your nails, and the chick put her glasses on prior!!! Not only that, but my nails were bulky looking. I had to go home and file my own nails, after paying this chick to do it… Good luck!

My friend’s nails look great. Mine do not. The technician painted ALL over my cuticles! UGH! Worse, it’s gel polish so I can’t even pick off the overlap when I get home. Very frustrating.

I’ve tried a LOT of nail places in the area and I like this one b/​c my manicures last 5 – 7 days every time vs. every other salon where I get ONE DAY out of it. I drive from Haymarket just to go to this place and it’s been great service, every time over the years. Every technician I have had has been professional, courteous and has given me a great mani and/​or pedi. I don’t normally use massage chairs but their new ones are worth the trip alone!

I needed my nails painted for a special occasion because I am certainly incapable of doing it myself. I stumbled upon Couture Nails when I drove to my prior nail salon to find they were out of business (shows how often I get a manicure). Well, I was the only customer so I was welcomed warmly and seated right away. It wasn’t the most luxurious manicure I have ever received, so if you are looking to be pampered I would request a higher level treatment (I ordered the basic manicure for $ 12). But, there are two major reasons why I will go back to Couture Nails. First, and most important in my opinion, the equipment used was taken directly out of a sealed sterile bag. Second, it has been 4 days and my nails still look great! I cook, clean, do dishes, bathe children, etc. and my color is always chipping the next day. This is (by far!) the longest lasting polish I have ever had… they must be doing something right!

I have been going to Emily for years and would recommend her to anyone. She and her staff are always friendly, her salon is always clean

This place is awful. I went for a pedicure and was greeted very coldly by the owner (I didn’t find out until later that she was the owner). She told me to pick out my polish and after literally 3 seconds she said, very rudely, «Ready yet?» After rushing me to the chair she got up several times to answer phone calls, talk to other technicians and oddly enough to check a cooked pig that was on display for a holiday they were celebrating. A man walked the pig over to her at my chair and she poked and touched the pig with her bare hands and then went right back to doing my pedicure which is disgusting. Towards the end of the pedicure another client asked about buying a lotion they use and my technician told her it wasn’t for sale. The client asked if she could ask the owner and that’s when I found out my technician was the owner. After a mediocre pedicure I went to hand her my credit card and she informed me that their credit card machine was broken. Well, that was all I had to pay with besides a few dollars that I was planning to use for a tip. When I asked her why she didn’t tell me before the pedicure she got very nasty with me and grabbed the card from my hand and said «I’ll try it!» Of course, it worked just fine and I left with the few dollars I went in there with. The only tip I gave her was to work on improving her customer service skills. I will never set foot in that place again.

Unfortunately my friends and I will never visit this salon again. Four of us went to the salon because of their advertised «Girls Night Out» package, which includes Manicure, Spa Pedicure, Champagne, and Chocolate for $ 55/​person. This advertisement is in their brochure, on their website, and in their salon. We booked our appointment two weeks in advance, as requested, and when we arrived they looked at us like we were nuts. Regardless, we stayed and sat down to enjoy our pedicure. The chairs were okay, and when my friends inquired about the champagne, they told us they were not allowed to serve alcohol in the salon because they needed a liquor license. WTF? How can you advertise in your brochure AND on your freaking salon wall and not follow through? Instead, they brought us some nasty sugary sparkling crap in a Styrofoam cup. As far as chocolate, the only chocolate to be seen was in a large Valentine’s Day heart-​shaped box… and it was the end of April.
In regards to my pedicure, they did okay. I got a full set of nails in which my French manicure had crooked lines. $ 55 later I was sadly disappointed. I wouldn’t visit here unless you want a quick mani or pedi and don’t expect any extras.
