Hi Super Spa

You get what you pay for. I came for the $ 20 gel manicure and the technician filed one of my nails down to tissue to get the previous polish off. I had to tell her to stop and just let them soak. She was in a super hurry, then someone came (a family member maybe), and they proceeded to have a convo in their native language for the rest of the time.
My polish BETTER stay on for two weeks or I’m raising hell.

My experience with this salon began with repeated attempts to make an appointment only to be met with a busy signal for 10 minutes. I decided to drop in one day because I needed to use a Groupon and I also desperately needed a mani for a wedding I was attending. They took me as a walk in, I would recommend going on a Sunday if at all because the parking situation is convoluted to say the least (there is a pay lot behind the strip where people are frequently ticketed). It looks like teenagers decorated the inside and it just doesn’t strike you as the most sanitary place, although I didn’t witness any particularly objectionable practices besides the usual using unsterilized clippers and reusing old nail buffers that belong to a particular cart rather than a particular person. My nail tech was perfectly pleasant and didn’t talk my ear off, and shared a touching anecdote about her family back in Guatemala.
I was dissatisfied with how the color turned out on my gel manicure and she took it off and started over with no complaints and without trying to charge me extra. However I’m sure these people were not trained by the companies providing gel products because I had my hands in the UV curing light for WAY longer than I ever have at any of my previous, multiple, gel manis. That alone would be enough to eliminate the chance of returning, but on top of everything my mani wrinkled under the light (I’ve never seen this happen before or since) which leads me to believe they might have tampered with the polish in an attempt to thin it out. Also, there is some confusion on Unilocal about which nail salon is which because there are two right next to each other. If this has not been rectified, this if for the one on the left when your back is to Georgia Ave and you’re facing the store fronts.

Yikes! So I went here cuz I had purchased a Groupon for $ 55 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. I had been wanting to try a gel manicure so I thought this was a good deal.
First off, parking is terrible and they give you no advanced warning about having to park in the rear of the center with the metered parking. The place seemed pretty shady– didn’t look clean, had the worst selection of no-​name polish brands, etc. My pedicure was decent– but once I was in decent light I could see that the polish wasn’t evenly covered and was darker in some spots than others. Then the manicure. I was pretty happy with it at first– it dried quick and hard and looked nice. The a few days later peeling began where the nail tech had painted over my cuticles, then a few days later it started chipping (note: gel is supposed to last ~2 weeks), as of today (only 10 days after manicure) the polish is chipping off in chunks. I am super unhappy with this place and will not be returning ever.

I came here with a Groupon deal ($ 28 for a pedi and gel-​mani) and I’m happy with it, despite my initial anxiety from reading the reviews and first impressions.
Parking: Not easy to find up front — park in the back parking lot, off of Triangle Lane. It’s metered parking, but I think it’s 25 cents for a half hour or something so not bad but kind of annoying since I rarely carry change on me. There are signs all over the front parking lots and when you walk in the salon — apparently the merchants are suuuper serious about towing, so be warned!
I had an appointment, which was good, since there were people waiting after me… It seems like there are regulars that go here. And with this and a super cheap place next door ($ 8 manis? 18 $ pedis?) it seems like they’ve built a clientele.
At first glance, it’s an average nail salon with older chairs but no OPI or other good recognizable brand polishes. In fact, I would consider their nail colors selection on the lesser end of the salons I’ve been to. I feel like it’s about half of the colors that are in the picture — so maybe bring your own if you are particular? I was able to find a nice neutral color from Essie for my pedicure — they did have a lot more color options for the Gel manicure… so that was good!
The Pedi and Mani itself was fine — no pain, looks great, lil scrub and massage for my legs. I’m skeptical as to how long a regular mani would last from here, but with the Gel, it should be good!
I wouldn’t pay the «original value» of $ 58 for it, but at $ 28, I’m a happy customer.
Would I come back? The drive from Bethesda probably isn’t worth it since there are similar businesses closer to me (and especially not at the regular price) but with this price/​deal it was a good experience for me.

A disaster! I had to have my manicure and pedicure redone by my regular nail salon. I used a Groupon, and filed a complaint (and got a full refund). Stay away!

I’m now starting to understand the never ending posts per day on FACEBOOK advertising bargain priced services. They need business because they suck! This place is all about shortcuts. I once pointed out to the guy doing my nails that I had a crack that he’d overlooked. He simply painted over it w/​gel. Needless to say, it broke a week later.
On another visit: I got 10 designs, gel mani (natural nails), and spa pedi for $ 55. But the lady decides to start doing her own designs without even asking me what I want. I mean I get that you do this 10 hrs a day, but I asked you for the nail designs to look at so it seems it obvious you’d ask, «what kind design you like?»
…again, another short cut to get us the hell outta there.
I must agree about the youngins up on there. Because of the prices, they seem to attract a ghetto crowd. Last time I was there, a mother had apparently left work to find her daughter ditched school early to get her nails done. Ha! Imagine bein caught in the crossfire of that convo.
Parking in front sucks ass, but ample in back.
As I mature, I find I have a bit more patience than I once did as a young adult. However, I’ve been here three times hoping to find that «charm»…honestly, there are too many options to even give this place another thought.

I came in wanting to try something new, long round tip nails! The nail tech TUNG did my nails, he was very nice & did a great job… until it came to selecting color & if I wanted a design or not. Their brand of polish is terrible, NO OPI & when I asked about designs (because there were none displayed) TUNG just kept saying «What kind of design» while I repeatedly told him I want to see some samples first. Which he never showed to me. I just decided to go with this fall color with a layer of glitter polish (i posted a photo) overall my experience was OK. I was expecting more. I guess you really get what you pay for. I spent a total of $ 25 including a tip for TUNG. next time Im going to try their sister shop a few doors down.

I walked in with a Groupon in hand for my friend and I. My friend was doing loop de loops looking for parking that wouldn’t tow away her car. Finally she found metered parking (2 hours for $ 1) behind the building. Don’t park in the wrong space, they are very very serious about towing here.
The place was really ghetto– and frankly I was a little freaked out. The polish on the walls had very few OPI colors.
When my friend showed up– the manager came over to us and said, we have another salon close by, do you want to go there? It’s walkable.
We were like– uhm… sure.
He took us to the shopping center next door (literally like 5 doors down) This one was terrific. Clean, brightly lit, the polishes on the shelves were brand new and OPI and lots of colors. The service was clean, efficient, and done very well.
So, I would recommend you go a few doors down. They also have easy parking in front of the store there. I snapped a pic of the business card for you.

DONT GO HERE!!!
i should have known better than to go to a place like this because you get what you pay for!
first off they do a full set for $ 10 which should have been the first red light!
2ndly they do pedicures for $ 15
i got a pedicure with french manicure on it here in the past and it was the best i ever had and it was empty so i didnt have to wait
i went a 2^nd time and they had some chick use 99 cent nail polish on me which i was not allowing!
so i told her to use some essie on my french pedi… i was exhausted form along days work and woke up at the end of my pedi to look down at my french mani on my toes which was WRETCHED!!! it was gooped up old thinned out nail polish they used and it looked like a little kid did it!
i told the lady to re-​do it but of course i should have known because this was a $ 15 pedi… the lady wiped off the top non-​white part of the pedi and repainted it (she tried to do a shortcut) and of course it looked even worse!
i walked to the front and told the manager i refused to pay for this horrible pedi!
he began arguing with me and tried to not allow me to leave without paying for the horrific pedicure! then a nice lady that must’ve been the owners wife came over and offered to re-​do it FOR FREE! so i sat down and let her do it and she did a good job… i let it dry and as im walking out of course the guy at the front asks me to pay even though the lady said it would be no charge… i just paid and walked out.
all in all like i said… you get what you pay for and i should have known better
also the nail salon seems to attract a younger crowd since the really cheap prices which is also annoying… its full of hoodrats, and youngins :-(
NEVER EVER EVER GO HERE NO MATTER HOW TIRED OR LAZY OR BROKE YOU ARE!
GO ELSEWHERE AND SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!

I had the best fullset yet !!! This was my first time goin to this nail salon and I loved it. The technician that did my nails was so nice and had great customer service. She did a great job on my design and I’m coming back to her. I recommend this place for anyone and If you need a fullset done go to her cause she’s excellent
