Bliss Nails and Spa

There are times in life where I simply sit back and smile in amazement. I visited Bliss Nails on a whim, on Easter Sunday. Now I do have another nail salon establishment that I frequent, but I had no idea that Easter was considered a holiday and the majority of establishments are closed on this day.
So in desperate need of a manicure I search and search and finally find this place that’s open. I counted my blessings and prayed that I’d have a good experience (You know someone that actually knows how to paint nails and not my skin). Fret not, my manicurist was amazing. So to give a detailed description of how good this guy is… he literally examines each and every nail under a lamp light for any imperfections! Reminds me of a dental exam, where they clean every tooth, front and back.
So I purposely waited to write this review until I’d been twice to see if the consistency was there… and it was. I can’t do anything but give him praises for his work. My au natural gel nails look sooooo, soooo good. Amazing actually. My nails are strong, no chipping or breaking.
I really hope I’ve found a manicurist for life; the reallllly good ones are so hard to come by. Elated!

This was my first time at Bliss, it was recommended by a friend. My mom was looking to have her eyebrows shaped and darkened. She has never done anything to her eyebrows except pluck the occasional stray. Her eyebrows are heavy but sparse (if that makes sense) and straight with no natural arch. Nancy helped us and did an amazing job of creating a natural looking arch and thinning her brow. They had 3 colors of henna a light brown, dark brown and black. They can customize the colors by mixing them as well. My mom has jet black hair but we decided to do a lighter henna (mix of light brown with black) so it wouldn’t be too much of a shock for her. Unfortunately the henna was left on a little too long and it came out darker than she wanted or was used to. But frankly I think it looks really good now that I’ve gotten used to seeing her with eyebrows. In fact it looked so good I had Nancy henna mine as well and I love it. It should last 7 – 10 days depending on how oily your skin is and how much you wash or scrub your face. It was $ 35 for henna and $ 10 for the shaping.

Been coming here since they opened in 2014… under new management now. I still miss my old nail tech but I do love some of the new additions they have brought. The one thing I miss most us the 90’s R&B that use to play here lol. still love the place though!

Not happy with my experience here. I called in the morning (around 11 or so) to find out if I needed to make an appointment; the woman on the phone said I should since they were busy and she set me up with a 3 o’clock appointment. I arrived around 3:03 and had to wait about 15 minutes before I was put in a chair, and then another 5 before the nail tech came over. When I went to put my feet in the water they were nearly burned by how hot it was. The woman (I think possibly the manager) apologized and adjusted the temperature. My nail tech did a decent job painting my toes, however, she tried to give me a spa pedicure when I wanted a basic pedicure, and she almost put the wrong color on my toes as well. I definitely will not be returning to Bliss and will continue my search to find a good nail salon in Waldorf. (The service I received was only for a pedicure.)

Although the technician was very friendly, my nails look terrible. I asked for a full set using gel polish. My nails are not shaped properly and it looks like a five year old polished my nails. I will not be going back to Bliss Nails.

This place reminds me of a mini Escape. They have a lot of polish colors and it is very clean. The gentleman who did my pedicure was quiet and did a good job painting and massaging.

I visited and got a mani/​pedi. Cost: $ 42. The facility is very nice and the people are very nice. I love that the location is large and not cramped. Leo did my nails. He was extremely nice & happy to chat or be quiet. He rushed though and there was no one else in there — so, no reason to rush. I left with nail polish on my fingers that I had to clean up when I got home. I called them, though, to give them feedback and I think they’re very open to it. I would try the place again. It wasn’t super expensive, but I did expect them to take their time during a $ 17 basic manicure.

I have no complaints. Nice new modern salon with nice staff. The are still in the process of opening and offering 20% off
