1402 Revo Nails

Allie is the one to see. She gives amazing massages, has great attention to detail, is super sweet. She gave me an amazing gel mani.
Request the LED lights (OPI), not the UV lamp. Save yourself from the sun spots. They use both.

I live in VA and yes, I make the trip to DC to get my nails done because it’s THAT good… and cheap!
There’s no parking lot or street parking ever… but then again, it’s DC, should you expect parking? Just metro to Columbia Heights and get your daily exercise by walking for 8 minutes. Besides, you’ll be sitting down while you get your mani and/​or pedi done.
My girl is Jackelin… she’s the
!! She’s either the only Hispanic or one of two Hispanics that work there. Speaks little English but knows the basics and knows what she is doing! She is amazing! I’m gonna put my business out there and be a little «TMI»… I have an ingrown toenail and she is the only one that knows how to dig that thing out! I say «only one» because I’ve tried getting a pedi done with two other people here and they don’t care or take the time with you the way she does. She welcomes women and men, but call in advance because she has a very high clientele.
Like I said before, she takes her time so don’t come here rushing her. You want a job well done? Then let her do her job. She polishes nails so perfectly. Doesn’t miss a spot, leave streaks, or go outside of your nails. I believe she is a perfectionist and for a perfectionist like myself, she is who I need in my life. I already told her that if she ever leaves this place, I am following her! I make the trip from VA already anyway.
I always get a pedi and gel mani for $ 45. Beat that! That price for a Columbia Heights salon is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Another salon by Columbia Heights metro charges about $ 40 for just the gel mani… ain’t nobody got money for that! Especially when there’s Revo Nails just a few blocks up where you can get two services for that price!
So I don’t know why other people are giving bad reviews to this place… it’s a clean place, affordable, and there’s always someone to assist you. But if you want Jackelin, call in advance. Now go get your nails did!

Why haven’t I come to this place sooner? This has to be the best pedicure I have ever received. Hey could use a better choice of mood polish, but with the attention my tootsies received today that can be overlooked.

So, it’s $ 30 for a mani and pedi. DONE. Everyone is super friendly and good at what they do. All prices are affordable and they offer happy hour. They constantly have specials and the wait is never too much. I would call beforehand though.

It’s much better than V Nails and Spa that I tried in the past — cleaner, faster and less crowded. I came to this salon on Wednesday evening and it was empty. Anna did my pedicure, manicure and eyebrow waxing. She did a really good job with the pedicure — after my vacation, my feet were very calloused from all the walking and she took care of that. The eyebrow waxing was pretty good, although she is not very gentle. Employees speak almost no English, so I don’t think I will be calling next time to make an appointment even though they encouraged me to do so. They have a happy hour from 4 to 8 where they give you a free glass of cheap, sweet red wine.
I paid $ 43 for mani-​pedi and waxing, and it was definitely worth the price. I’ve tried all nail salons at Columbia Heights at this point and I think I’ll stick with this spot.

Love Revo Nails! I have going there for over 2 years. Everyone there is super nice and professional. Lynn is the best! Michelle is so talented with her artwork! Thank you Revo Nails!

This is just like any other nail salon. Went in, waited and than I was taken care of. The vibe wasn’t quiet right but at least I got what I needed done. I also messed up my nails but they fixed it for me but something about this place doesn’t feel right. They didn’t shape the full set correctly, i later realized there were stuff inside my nails because they didn’t file it properly. Also, they covered my cuticles with the full set nail gels instead of removing it.

I’ve been coming here for sometime now and the service Jaqueline has provided is one of a kind. I started off with a few other technicians before starting off with Jaqueline and found out the difference after sitting in her chair. Let me start off saying that you get your money’s worth with her. She is never in a rush to finish her job like the rest. So next time your in the area come and experience the one of a kind service Jaqueline provides.

This was the worst mani/​pedi experience I’ve had. Cold water, 40 minute wait with my feet in the water, no one acknowledged us much of the time we were there). It took so long that I didn’t get the manicure.
The woman who actually did my nails was perfectly fine but I will never give this place my money again.

AWESOME! Michelle is the best! She has done my nails on three/​four occasions and now I go back to her every two weeks for a gel manicure and occasional pedicure and eye brow wax. Check out her work on instagram: michellechen1516
Michelle is friendly and always has a smile on her face. Because of that she is busy, so make sure to set up appointments in advance. Once my thumb nail chipped and she put on an acrylic nail. No one could tell and after a month, my nail was back to normal and grew in length.
Whenever I get my nails, toe nails and eyebrows done at 1402 Revo Salon by Michelle, I go in with a smile and come out a star each time. Also if you get a pedicure during 4−8pm, you get a free glass of wine!
Manicure and Pedicure: $ 30
Gel nails: $ 25
Regular pedicure: $ 22
Eyebrow wax: $ 8

I wish I could give ½ a star for this place.
This was THE WORST manicure I have ever had.
My gel manicure literally peeled off 3 days after i had it. 3 DAYS!
I could not believe it. The manicurist I had was awful. My nails looked terrible. I can’t believe I wasted money on this place.
DO NOT GO HERE.

This place should get one star, but the manicure wasn’t too bad, so I gave it 2.
I got a deal from Groupon that included a gel manicure and paraffin. The Groupon stated that I needed to make an appointment, so I called the phone given and a lady answered the phone who had no idea what I was talking about. After about 5 minutes of straightening things out, I was put on schedule for 4:15.
Upon arriving, I noticed there were no parking spots, and it was in shady part of D.C.
I was not spoken to when I walked in and I had to ask for help, at which point a man (I suppose he’s the manager?-had tattoos on left hand) pointed towards the gel colors. After picking the color, I was quickly ushered to the chair and the manicure was done.
The problem was– HE DIDN’T SPEAK TO ME, not ONCE! I was there for 45 minutes and we (MAYBE) exchanged 4 words. Unbelievably uncomfortable!
Will not be returning, if you find this on Groupon– don’t waste your money!

Michelle is a rockstar. She’s quick, extremely skilled, and as an aside, extremely beautiful. Revo was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The prices are dirt cheap. This is my new go-​to nail salon.
Tip: Make an appointment beforehand.

Diamond in the rough! Nice place with friendly staff. Affordable prices. I got my brows, lips, and sideburns waxed here and they did a great job. Much better prices than the places by the metro.

This place is amazing. Best mani/​pedi for the best price. I recommend calling for an appointment, especially on weekends, to avoid waiting. It can depend which stylist you get, but I highly recommend Jacali and Anna for a great mani/​pedi and fabulous massage.
One note: the credit card machine is unreliable, so definitely bring cash.

Revo Nails: Where the technicians are rough, rude, and hazardous to your health.
This is one of the cheapest nail places in town, so I’ve been there twice. The first time was great. The second time, while vigorously filing the prior gel off my nails, the nail technician kept filing my cuticles off as well. I Unilocaled in pain every time she did it, but she didn’t notice because she was too busy having a conversation with her friend (who stood next to her chair chatting the ENTIRE time I was getting my nails done.) When she finished and saw large, bright red drops of blood rolling off my fingers, she acted disgusted, poked my wounds with the little metal cuticle pusher, and asked «What happened THERE?» I told her, and her «apology» was a giant eyeroll and an insincere «Sorry!» She then clucked her tongue and muttered that my nails were too soft and short — maybe by way of explanation? Finally, she pulled a brush covered in cuticle oil out of a decorative jar, coated my nail beds, then put the bloody brush BACK IN THE JAR. Presumably she’ll b reusing the same brush and jar for every future customer. Luckily, I don’t have any bloodborne diseases, but EW!!!
This morning, 6 of my fingers have scabs around the nail beds from where she filed the skin off, and two are swollen and throbbing. Maybe the equipment wasn’t clean and they’re getting infected? Can’t say for sure, but I guess I’m the goofus who will be walking around with bandaids and Neosporin over most of my fingers for the next week hoping to clear it up.
I guess you get what you pay for.

I just had the worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I came in for mani pedi, the first of the season. The nail tech runes through the pedicure, and was far more concerned with who was walking in and out than tending to me. She barely scrubbed my heels, rushed me to my manicure when she then proceeded to rough handle me, even though I stopped her several times and asked her to be gentle.
She sat me at a drying station, where I have been sitting for the last half hour, ready to go, however, no one but she apparently, can check me out. I told her I was ready to leave, and she told me five more minutes… that was 10 minutes ago. I also showed her my heels, very rough and un-​scrubbed, to which her response was she would just add oil.
Not worth the money, not with anything. I have half a mind to walk out. I will be sure to never frequent this place, and if you want a real pedi, walk two blocks away from here.

Will definitely not patronize this nail salon when they leave their sign advertising specials laying down in the park across the street. It has been laying there for over two months.
Way to go! It was wonderful to see a business move into an empty space. However, it’s not wonderful when the business chooses to add to the litter problem in the neighborhood.
Horrible.

I was walking up Columbia heights and saw the good review on this place. Was satisfied with the out come. Pedicure could’ve been longer.

My first experience with Revo Nails was the weekend of mother’s day. IT WAS CHAOS! even though i wasn’t getting my nails done they seemed to not care that my friends and i were there checking up on another friend getting her nails done. And through the chaos her nails were so cool looking so i decided to come back.
Came back on my day off around 1 or so and the place was empty, just the way i like it. I came in for a mani/pedi…was originally gonna go with the gel mani but decided to just get a full set instead. The lady that did my mani/​pedi was nice… didnt talk much and did what i asked. It was pretty mellow but then again it was empty so i should go back on a some what crowded day to see how the service will change. All in all everything turned out great. I got many compliments from my customers at work and directed them here. (Will post pics too) Pretty good nail salon and they get the job done.
