D C Nails

Watch closely, they DO NOT use an autoclave to sterilize their equipment. They take their tools for a pedicure out of a pencil case and stray them with alcohol. This is illegal and extremely dangerous. This is how blood bourne illnesses, like HIV and Hepatitis, are spread. Yes, this place is cheap but not worth potentially getting extremely ill. Pay the extra $ 5 bucks somewhere else and have it done right.

I’m here every week. My nail techs name is HaHa. funny name. He’s an AMAZING NAIL TECH. I’ve literally tried everywhere. The customer service here is actually awesome. I don’t know why the other reviewers had a problem but they’re always pleasant with me. Everyone is pretty much good but I’d recommend HaHa or Tina.

Their customer service is absolute crap. Every time I make an appointment I am here on time and don’t ever get taken in until 15 – 20 minutes after my appointment. When I confronted one of the ladies after this happened twice, she yelled at me telling me «it doesn’t take that long to have someone else go» then continued to let me know that if «I’m not happy with that then it doesn’t matter to her if I come back» needless to say they lost my business.
She was yelling at me for me and the entire shop heard. I kept asking her to please stop yelling and she just continued. It was overall extremely awkward and I wont be coming back.
This place is a dime a dozen and around the corner there is another place you can get the same price and job and not have terrible service.

I was recommended to DC by a coworker that gets her nails done here, and each time I’ve visited it’s been busy! I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes, luckily, but they’re obviously doing something right — it’s not a small staff, but the shop is consistently busy. Maybe call ahead for an appointment if you expect to be pressed for time. They do walk-​ins for the most part, it seems like.
I’ve had several gel sets done as well as a pedicure and wax on one occasion. My french tip gel set is $ 25, which is very reasonable and lasts me 2 – 3 weeks. It’s a few dollars cheaper if I don’t get a french tip — I wanna say $ 20.
I do agree that it’s hard to talk with some of the staff because of a language barrier, but I’ve consistently had affordable, friendly service here and it’s close to home. Because I find it hard to build a relationship with the techs, I don’t feel particularly loyal to DC, but I would recommend for sure — I did read the negative reviews posted before mine and can understand the issues, I just haven’t had any bad experiences myself and I know my coworker is a huge fan.

Went here because it was close to my house. Biggest mistake ever. I have sensitive nails, so i told the technichian before she started. She then dug the little nail drill into my nail ripping part of it off and making multiple fingers bleed. I ended up getting an infection and when i came back to show them they said i have bad nails. wtf​.no. asked for my money back and nothing happened. they acted like they had no idea what i was talking about. never again.

Went here with a friend a while back and the place was packed. Waited 30 minutes for a tech. I can’t believe how long it took. The tech didn’t even talk to me, he talked to the tech next to him in another language. When I asked to paint the tip of my French another color, he told me no. Talk about rude. He took me over to a UV Lamp table and left me there without telling me how long I had to sit there or offer any reading material. Sat there for about 10 minutes before going over to my friend and check up on her. The place was loud and didn’t look very clean. I will never go back there again!

Inquired about refund, Don Nguyen began cursing me out.

This place is so inconsistent. I felt like only one nail tech really know what she was doing. When I looked at the licenses on the wall, I realized they had the same 2 or 3 names over and over again. I have a feeling not all of the techs are licensed. I’ve been here a number of times because my friend liked to get her fill-​ins here for some reason. I only recall one time my nails came out nice. All the other times my nails came out gunky and would never dry completely. I was not impressed at all. The selection of polish is okay. Try to avoid this place for manicures. I’m never going back.
