Oakton Salon and Spa

Natalie and Cindy are awesome. My mom and I go to them every time. They are so nice and take the time to make things perfect. If I cant get Natalie then I go for Kathy and she is great as well. I love this place.

I have been coming here since last year and I love it. I am not very familiar with a lot of Nail Salons in Virginia, so I found it kind of difficult to find somewhere to my liking since all I am familiar with are salons in DC. My boyfriend although is from Oakton, he was actually the one who recommended this place, since most of the women in his family have been going there since forever. He decided to treat us to a pedi/​medi (side note, it’s pretty awesome that a man can be confident enough to say he doesn’t mind getting pampered every now and then) with that being said the women who were in to do our pedi/​mani, made him feel very comfortable and complimented him a lot on his choice to come join me, made him feel very relieved he wasn’t being judged.
We were being taken care of Vivian and Kathy. We love them! They were always asking how we felt and if we had any questions about anything. The place itself is very kept up, they sweep almost every 30 minutes to make sure everything is clean and welcoming. They have so many colors in the polish selection, you will love them all. One time, we came in I wanted to get the Almond shaped nails and although Kathy said she has never tried it before, she took her time studying the picture I brought and gave it a try– she is amazing! it came out exactly if not better than my picture, I loved them and received many compliments. In Virginia, I would definitely always come to Kathy for anything new I want to try.
We have been coming to Vivian and Kathy every chance we can get, Vivian always takes care of him and Kathy is with me. I am happy to say we became very comfortable with one another that we consider them friends! Vivian even ran into my boyfriend outside of the salon and remembered him and asked him how I was doing, so sweet. Now that Snowzilla 16 is over, we plan to stop by for a visit.
Seriously, if you haven’t found a good Nail Salon around the Oakton/​Vienna area, give them a try you won’t regret it.

What a lovely spot! I can’t believe that I never came across or tried this place before. There are many area salons, but this one is my favorite so far. I really liked the polish selection which was very well organized. Even though it was a Sunday, I was able to make an appointment that morning and the salon wasn’t too crowded in the afternoon when I went.
Vivian gave me a wonderful manicure and pedicure. She was kind and we talked a bit, but mostly, I was able to just relax. All of the treatments in the Deluxe Spa Pedicure were very nice especially the hot towels. Both my toe and fingernail polish showed extreme attention to detail. Sometimes the ladies (and men) tend to not go all the way into the corners, etc. but she had great coverage and made sure to take off any stray polish too.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

This is one of the best salons I’ve been to since moving to NoVA. As other reviewers have mentioned, don’t be fooled by the neon signs in the window! The facilty is clean and tranquil. The woman that did my nails (unfortunately, I forget her name) took a great deal of time and care, helping me pick out what colors I wanted of their OPI polishes. I got gel manicure/​pedicure and it still looks great two weeks later! $ 75 for a great experience, which is way cheaper than places around the area I’ve been to, that looked horrible after a few days, and were around $ 100 for the same thing!

It’s ok. Kathy did my nails (French shellac) and when she did the whites at first, you could see the whites of my natural nail. So I asked her to make the whites thicker, and she did, but the lines are wobbly. She was nice, and the salon is clean, but for $ 35 I could have done a better job at home.

Just finished a spa pedicure … absolutely fabulous … i rarely get one but this was worth the wait

I’ve been coming here to get gel manicures since moving to Oakton in February and have nothing but praise. I’ve always been pleased with the quality of the work, and the staff is very warm and friendly and professional. The salon itself is clean and I have no hygiene concerns whatsoever. They have a good selection of gel colors and they’ve always done a great job; the manicurists are neat and meticulous. I’ve also had my eyebrows done here and they did a good job. If you’re looking for a nail salon in Oakton, I’d recommend trying Oakton Salon and Spa!

I found this place based on Unilocal Review and I am glad to go there. Natalie and Vivian are both very professional and I love there massage chair !! I will definitely go back on more regular bases. it’s a good find!

Just had a pedicure with Judy. Best pedicure of my life and really reasonable too. This is my new favorite place for sure.

I would approach this place with caution. The owner, Ann, is an aggressive woman who pushed by men when I was using a walker after a broken ankle, and then verbally abused me for not walking fast enough. There are good technicians there, but there are other places, too. The salon itself has all the charm of a flea market and the pedicure chairs only work part of the time. I would keep looking!

I came here on my birthday and was greeted with a very warm welcome. Vivien did a really nice spa pedicure ($ 45) for me. The spa pedicure includes extra massage which she really did give me a nice long leg and foot massage. The pedicure chairs are really nice and massage your whole body. They also offer drinks such as tea, water, and soda. The only reason why I’m not giving this place give stars is because after letting my feet dry for about 15minutes I asked if I was ready to go, and Vivien checked my toes and sprayed them with quick dry and then wrapped them in plastic wrap and said I could put my boots on. I guess they didn’t have the little floppy sandals because I would have walked out in those or waited longer for my toes to dry. When I got home my big toes had been smudged :(

Very nice find in Oakton. Ladies are all very nice and professional, and the salon is bright and clean. I’ve gotten manicures and pedicures there, and was always happy with their work. They offer a wide range of services, from facials to waxing, and also have a small hair salon, although I’ve never tried any of these services. Definitely would recommend this salon; they deserve the good reviews!

I had been going to a local nail salon when someone suggested that I try Oakton Nail Salon. I’m so glad that I did! All of the women who work there are so friendly, they truly care about the quality of their work and the salon is always very clean.
I have been going to Ann for manicures and pedicures. She takes pride in her work, provides a great experience and makes my nails look great. She’s definitely a pro!
I have gone to many nice spas for facials both locally and while on vacations around the country. Ann provides one of the best facials I have ever had. She uses high quality products that have actually improved my skin’s appearance.
I highly recommend Oakton Nail Salon for manicures, pedicures and facials! Give it a try!

I decided to check out this place after reading Unilocal reviews. I’m happy I did! I had a spa pedicure and Vivian is awesome! She wanted to know my name and profession and how my day was. I’m not used to that but I welcomed it! She paid so much attention to my nails and cuticles. She gave me a great massage too. I am so ticklish when it comes to anyone scrubbing my feet but this was the first time it didn’t tickle to get my feet washed. I am seriously impressed! My toes look awesome! I will definitely be back!

*** This review is for a hair appointment that I had at Oakton Salon and Spa ***
My usual hairstylist is in Bethesda, and I wanted to try a hair salon closer to my house. I researched a few hair places in Oakton, and came across Oakton Salon and Spa. After reading the positive Unilocal reviews for this place, I was very excited to try it out.
I made a haircut/​color appointment for 1pm on a Saturday. The salon was kind enough to call me at 8:45am on the morning of the appointment to remind me.
I arrived at the salon promptly at 1pm. My hairstylist, Ann, was doing nails for another client and told me to go to her station and wait. I was not sure where her station was and felt at loss. I was finally directed to her station by one of the staff members.
I waited for 15 minutes, and then a girl stopped by to give me a look book. I was perusing through the pages, and 10 minutes later, a middle aged woman walked up to me and pointed at a chair. I was not sure what she was saying as it was hard to communicate with her in English.
When she saw my confused face, she said «shampoo» and started to pull the look book from my hand. I told her that I need to refer to the pages to show the hair stylist. She pointed towards the page numbers and then her head. I figured she was asking me to memorize the page numbers.
At this point I almost wanted to walk out as the hair stylist had not even come by to check my hair. Strike One. From my understanding, before shampoo, the hair stylist checks out the client’s hair and then introduces them to the person who will be shampooing their hair.
I really wanted to give this place a chance, and got ready for shampoo. The shampoo was one of a kind experience. The woman put a towel on my back and tied a plastic bag tightly around my neck.
The hair wash itself was interesting. The woman, I am thinking, in an attempt to apply shampoo and massage my hair, dug into my scalp with her nails. It was a little painful and was squirming. The lady kept on moving me around and was wringing my hair. I don’t know what it is like to be in a washing machine, but it almost felt that my hair was being washed in one. Again, I wanted to leave. Strike Two.
After the shampoo, I waited for another few minutes. At that point, it had been more than 30 minutes, and I was frustrated. No one had stopped by to apologize or even give me an ETA. Strike Three.
I could not wait any longer and decided to leave. I went up to Ann, the hairstylist, and told her that I had been waiting for more than 30 minutes and I need to leave. She muttered something in her language, and did not try to stop me, and I did walk out. While driving back, I ran my fingers through my hair and noticed that there was still conditioner in my hair and my hair was falling out.
I have been to really nice salons and have gone to Hair Cuttery back in the day. This is the worse hair salon experience that I have ever had.
Oakton Salon and Spa, you have been struck out from my list.

I am glad that I had listened to the Unilocal reviews for this place and had decided to come here for a much needed pedicure. I had recently did a foot peel and my feet were almost done peeling and looked nasty! I felt a little bad for the lady who gave me the pedicure but she was extremely helpful and I felt like she wanted to give me the best pedicure I ever had. She worked hard within a reasonable time to get my feet back to tiptop shape. I of course made sure to tip her nicely for her efforts.
The color selection here was filled with a variety of associated colors and brands. I am a huge OPI fan so I was happy to choose a OPI red for my toes. I remember they had China Glaze and I think Essie. They also have the gel polish if you are interested. I am but I am too lazy to come back and have it taken off.
I liked that they kept a menu by the pedicure area. This had prompted me to decide on a spa pedicure instead of the basic due to my feet issue. The spa pedicure helped really take care of my feet and I felt like a million bucks leaving the salon.

My actual initial experience wasn’t bad. I got the gel polish done and a 4 days later it starting coming off, I stopped in after work to get it fixed since they seem to stand by their work. I basically got turned away because they were «busy» and told me come back later. Ironically enough my mom walked in behind me to meet me there and they thought she went in to get her nails done and I guess they weren’t busy to service a new client. They quickly realized it was my mom and she was just meeting me there.
I was hoping I’ve found my new salon but guess not. Very disappointed! $ 30 for gel to last 4 – 5 days is a waste of money.

I have been going to this salon since relocating to VA four years ago. The décor of the salon continues to amaze me as I have watched it’s transition over the years. It is a truly a gem, resembling even the most exclusive salons, without the high price tag. The salon is very clean and relaxing, with peaceful music echoing throughout. The selection of polishes is very impressive and far exceeds any salon, which I previously may have frequented in both Baltimore or New Jersey.
The technicians, most of whom have been there the entire time, always welcome you with a friendly smile, whether you are a repeat customer or a walk-​in. Ann has been my go-​to technician since my initial visit. The quality of her service, whether it be nails, pedicures or a facial, is excellent. She is a perfectionist and delights in her customer’s satisfaction. Even though I return frequently to Baltimore, I refuse to have my nails done anywhere else. I may get a pedicure with my girlfriend on occasion (if I have to (lol), but no one else touches these nails. I make certain to schedule my appointments with Ann around those trips, as well as mine (& her) vacations.
I gave my husband a gift certificate a couple of years ago for a pedicure. He now returns to Judy for regular pedicures and is loving it!!! My husband and I have had the opportunity to have pedicures by Vivi, who is also very good. Natalie and Cindy are always very pleasant, even though we aren’t their regular customers.
Ladies (and gentlemen) you just have to try this salon — once you do… you will not go anywhere else!

Lovely salon — quiet and relaxing, with an extensive selection of polishes, including MANY colors of the popular shellac variety.
Cindy is my go-​to manicurist, although others are also good (Natalie, Judy). I get my nails done about every two weeks, and I won’t go anywhere else for service. I also get my eyebrows waxed at the salon.
Their prices are reasonable, and it’s easy to get an appointment without too much advanced notice (even on the weekends). Most importantly, the salon is scrupulously clean.

Let me tell it like it is:
I get my nails done a lot… A.Lot. I recently bought a place in Oakton and since then have tried every nail salon in the area more than once. I have been maimed, i have bled, all in the name of empirical data. I can am thrilled t have found this place tucked in a little shipping center in suburbia. I needed it. My cuticles have been through too much abuse LOL!
The shop itself is super cute, they have potted orchids, nice chairs, it’s clean. blah blah. It doesn’t smell like a meth lab– which seems to be the trend for nail salons in Nova. They selection of nail polish is divine– a never ending rainbow of Essie and OPI colors. (too bad I usually just stick to french mani/pedis…whomp whomp) The girls that work there seem to have been there a while which is nice. The low/​no employee turn around is indicative of their high quality of professionalism. The ladies that work their seem to have developed a rapport with a large percent of their clientele. They go out of their way to make you comfortable and chit chat with you when they are doing your nails– it doesn’t seem forced or in genuine. I have had several of the technicians there do my nails and I have always been very happy with the results. I asked one girl (Natalie) to paint hello kitty on my nails once. It came out super cute (didn’t look exactly like hello kitty, but it was adorable) She seemed to think I didn’t like it and when I came back tried to give me a design on my nails for free– which was super kind of her. I passed– on the exterior I may be 26– but on the inside I am a crotchety senior citizen set in her ways. She did paint some color on my toes, the picture of my pink french pedi is in the gallery as well. The two other girls that have done my nails– Vivian and Ann are fabulous as well. Vivian Will Make you Laugh, and has removed enough callused skin off my feet to have a vendetta against me,…poor girl. Ann is awesome at giving you a perfect fill (mine are acrylics fyi) with out taking six months to do it. Natalie is the go to girl for designs– very sweet and precise with her work. The other girls are sweet too. I have great peripheral vision and their clients have always appeared very satisfied.
OMG this review is long.
Seriously though– go here. Then thank me.
