David does excellent work! I waited until one month after getting my nails done to post a review because I wanted to see how long they would last. I’ve spent a lot of time in the water this past month and my nails did not lift at all. Getting them redone after one month of wear because of new growth. Would definitely recommend!!

I started coming here over a year ago and David always does amazing work with my nails. He never damages them. All the pictures attached are my real nails. I do SNS. Since I’ve found him I have not been to anyone else. I told him I’d follow him anywhere lol. My best friend even started coming to him. Tracey is also great. I’m very picky with my hair but she listens and is very knowledgeable. Everyone here is friendly and they have wine :) Much needed after a stressful day in the office.

My mom is visiting me and we came here to get our nails done. She got a regular french tip manicure which cost $27. She’s visiting and not doing any house work that would damage her nails but they started chipping A DAY and A HALF after she got them done. We came back and they said “regular manicure only lasts a couple days, try gel next time, we dont guarantee regular manicure lasting more than a couple days.” And im like “i paid $27+ 5 tips and you’re saying it shouldnt last 2 full days??? Ok good to know.” Never coming back. You’d think they wouldnt have attitude when you come back but they do. Lol

Amazing salon! I called same day when they opened and was able to get a hair appointment 2 hours later. Tracy is fantastic as the reviews say. She understood exactly what I was looking for and was mindful of my tight schedule. She works quick! Tracy washed, cut, and blow dry styled my hair in about 30-45 minutes. I could not be more pleased with the results and will definitely be returning!

I’ve been having Tracy cut my hair for over a year and she is excellent! Best hair cuts I have ever had. My significant other goes to Color Touch for her hair and nails and we both are very happy! Highly recommended!

They did a great job on my nails. The technician took the time to make sure they were perfect and had so much attention to detail. Everyone there was really friendly, too. The only issue I had was that for my dip manicure, they dipped my hand directly into the jar of powder, which isn’t the most sanitary. They would probably do it differently if requested, but I didn’t know enough about dip at the time (updated my review after doing research on it).

I’ve been coming here for a few years now & despite covid, it’s definitely change. Tina is AWESOME! There was another woman name Sam that worked there who was awesome as well but she left. The location is convenient. They do take precautionary measures when it comes to cleanliness & safety (mask, sanitizing, etc.). They’re many nail salons in the area, but one of the reasons I liked coming here was the friendliness of the employees, how personable they were, the warm environment, full of laughter & the overall good customer service.Unfortunately, based on my last few experiences, it hasn’t been like that. No friendly greeting. Sometimes no greeting at all (only from Tina). One example was back in November 2020, I went in for an appointment, walked in the lady who I see usually greets (Tracey) looked at me without saying anything, then continued doing her client’s hair, I said hello TWICE, she FROWNS & ask me do I have an appointment. I told her I have an appointment with Tina. So she cuts her eyes points at the bench & tells me to sit there when it’s my turn. Meanwhile, Tina (who’s further away) waves at me, says hello & ask me to pick a color.I pick my color, do my usual, making my way to the restroom, I wait for the same lady (the one who cut her eyes & told me to sit on the bench) to pass so I can make my way to the restroom & she ask can she help me with something. I told her I’m making my way to the restroom. I’m walking to the restroom & I glance at the other two employees (who had clients) & see them giving me a weird- like blank stare. At this point, I was turned off. But Tina, whose always been nice to me & does EXCELLENT WORK had shown AWESOME customer service the whole time.Fast forward to April 2021, I tried to open the door but it was locked, the same lady (Tracey) unlocks the door, turns around (doesn’t even open the door, mind you ) & tends to her client. Once again no greeting, she asked me was I there for Tina & told me to pick color. Tina, as always pleasantly greets me & the other employees gives me that weird-like blank stare again.Tina as usual does excellent work, I go under the pedi dryer, I get moved around to make room for another client to get her nails dry (no problem with that at all) Tina ask me to move to another seat puts the pedi dryer under my feet, Tracey, takes the pedi dryer from my feet, without saying anything, walks away, comes back then puts a fan on the floor for my feet. I didn’t like the fan or how she went about it.Later on, she said the cold fan would dry my nails faster & the dryer shouldn’t be on hot, it’ll melt. When the whole time the pedi dryer was on cold fan, not hot.When I was getting ready to leave, she apologized & explained to me again regarding the mail drying. I was turned off by then & just was ready to go.It’s funny (not really) because I see how she greets & interacts with other clients, & being friendly, but these last couple times, I haven’t had that experience with her. I don’t even know if she notices it, but as a customer that’s been coming here for some time now, I certainly do.Tina is the main reason I still come here. So if you decide to come here, definitely go to Tina.

This place is a lot of fun with a friendly staff who are easy to get to know. They will keep you drinking wine as long as you want! The building itself is tiny and pretty simple, but I imagine its pretty standard for the area. They are talented, but you will see that reflected in the cost! If you live in the area, definitely check it out. Just get the cost before you get started.

Quinn is the best nail tech in there hands down! The place is small but when it comes to quality and price, Color Touch is the place. I have recommended this place to co-workers and anyone who asks for a good nail salon.

Review №21

I almost never get a manicure and this is exactly why... I can’t find a nail salon who can do it well consistently. This salon had friendly staff and good reviews and I was so excited to get my mani. I should have noticed how busy they were and that it would inevitably lead to a sloppy job. My being in a time crunch to get back to work caused me not to scrutinize the work better. I paid for the nails and even tipped well. Annoyingly they don’t do tip on card so I also had to pull money out and incurred a fee from their atm and my bank. I’m so upset. See pics for nail results. They left nail polish on my nails and didn’t file well and the cuticles oh my cuticles. 😫 Im so mad. Mostly at myself for walking out without them re-doing the work.

I had a great time with my girlfriends here and the hospitality/service is really nice but my gel nail polish did not stay for more than a few days. I got mine done on Saturday, April 13 and by April 24 when I am taking this picture everything was almost out. Infact the first one started peeling off the next day itself and I thought it might have been my mistake for not positioning it properly in the machine. for the price I paid, I would have expected it to stay atleast 3 solid weeks. It was also a very hurried experience, something that I dont enjoy when I take time out to pamper myself.

Review №26

I’m not sure the name of the guy who did my powder acrylics but he did a fantastic job, made sure they weren’t bumpy or to thick, gave me the perfect coffin shape I wanted, and making sure the bits from filing were not sill attached on the back of me nails. He was extremely friendly and when doing my pedicure gave an amazing massage and made sure with me that it wasn’t to soft or to hard. Without a doubt deserved the $20 tip I gave him. If I knew how to attach images I would show the amazing job.

Review №27

After doing gel manicures at a couple of other nail places that didn’t last, I lost my faith in gel so I came here for the first time to do acrylic. Sky did mine. I will not go anywhere else from now on for anything. He told me he was new to this salon. The job he did was stellar. I’m 2 weeks in and technically I can wait another week, but I am going back for a fill nevertheless. I got so many compliments these last 2 weeks. My nails grow quite fast, but after a week it still looked like a freshly done full set. Have you ever had an acrylic set that lasted 3 weeks with quick growing nails? I haven’t! I think I found my nail home!Update (5/20/19): I used to be a loyal customer to this place (here every 2 weeks w Quinn for the last 7 months after Sky quit after a month or so). This nail place was my favorite, not anymore. Unfortunately, I was told that Quinn was out the week of my law school graduation so I had to make an appointment with another woman. I did make an appointment with someone else (SNS dip as I always got with Quinn) and my nails turned out horrible. I did not like the color (it showed opaque on the display card but turned out a beige sheer on my nails that made them look dirty which obviously is not what I wanted -see picture), they were bumpy, thick, and some of the nails were sitting on my cuticle- see pictures. I told her after the first nail that I didnt like it and she said she can fix it to make it a darker opaque color (all she did was add a different color on top-i thought it was a good solution but ended up just making them super thick), but then when she went back to buff it out she buffed the top layer off anyway and boom my nails ended up being the very color I didnt like. I was late to an event that day so I could not stay for her to redo them, so I called in my Uber on the way to my event THE SAME DAY ROUGHLY 2 hours later to let the owner know I was not satisfied. The owner was so nice about it when I called to schedule my fix, but when I came back to get it fixed 2 days later (the day I scheduled with her) she was completely different. She said I must pay to get the color changed, but wait... SHE WOULDNT LET ME CHOOSE THE COLOR... SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME GET AN UGLY BROWN COLOR to replace the sheer! She CONTINUED to argue with me in front of everyone in the shop, claiming I complained about the shape... I always get classic square and the shape was the only thing right about my nails. She accused me of trying to use the opportunity to get a free color change (she said this in another language to another nail artist not knowing I speak more than just English). She also refused to fix the nails on my cuticle! Ive never been more disrespected. BEWARE! I will miss Quinn dearly, but I cannot spend any of my money on a place where the owner treats loyal customers this way. SHAME ON YOU. Thanks for the dirty looking nails for my graduation day. I wont be returning.

The absolute best salon in Arlington. Tracy has been doing my hair for about a year now, and I am never disappointed. Such a relaxing environment, and very reasonable prices. I will never go anywhere else. Parking on 23rd can be a challenge at certain times, but it is worth it.

Review №29

Walked in for a mildly complicated mani at 5:15-ish PM on a Friday night (just a while ago) expecting a wait. Was greeted right away and seated at the last spot at the mani table. My tech (I wish I’d gotten her name!) took my coat and hung it in the front for me while I sat down and got comfortable. At the table, I noticed that my tech had really nice, perfectly oval-shaped natural nails, and she didn’t mess up her own nails once while grinding away at mine. I think it’s safe to take that as a sign that my tech cares about her work, and that means better nails for her clients!I explained to my tech that I wanted my now grown-out gel extensions removed and gel polish applied. Everything she did, she did with patience and care. She actually used multiple different E-file tips and multiple grits of emery boards! She also brought out a newly sterilized, still-sealed package of implements, which she opened in front of me right before cleaning up my cuticles. (That’s new for me. Maybe I’ve just been mistreated in the past.)I was concerned about some bright red marks showing through the cuticle edge of my grown-out extensions on some of my left fingernails, though I didn’t say anything about them right away. I suspected that the tech who put on my extensions initially (at another salon) had over-filed my nails near the cuticles, because I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to bleed when your tech is filing your nails.When the soaking and E-filing of my old extensions was done, I pointed out the red marks, and my tech here at Color Touch confirmed my suspicions, explaining that the marks were in fact a result of over-filing.At this point, it was time to commit to a soak-off LED-curing gel color. I chose a metallic silver, shade #2 on the wall, that looked nice on the swatch, which my tech tested on her own thumb nail for me before I agreed. After two coats, though, it became apparent that the shade wasn’t going to be opaque enough to cover the red marks on my left hand. To fix this, my tech suggested that I try a more sparkly shade of silver, whose number I can’t remember, to which I agreed. She applied that right on top of the metallic, and in one coat, my red marks were totally indiscernible. She finished up the gel polish process, checked me out back at the front, and I was out the door about an hour after I arrived. I tipped well over 20% (in cash as is standard) because I was so happy with the results.tl;dr prompt service, friendly atmosphere, gentle and skilled techs (based on what I’d overheard from other clients), highly recommend.In the pic are my fresh new gel nails! I forgot to take a photo at the salon, so I took one when I got home. Color Touch doesn’t use kitchen towels!

I have been a loyal customer of color touch for the past four years! The owner, Tracy, truly knows the meaning of customer service and she takes care of her customers!

My wife and I have been going here for 3 years. We moved from NY and were happy to get a nail and hair salon that treated us so well. My wife goes for the full treatment of pampering as I call it.

I enjoy the chit chat that goes with the hair styling because they have become Friends as well.

I had had my eyebrows messed up at another salon about two or three weeks ago and Quin did an INCREDIBLE job fixing them. She took the time to show me two different ways she could fix my brows, and asked which I thought would be better. When she was done, she showed me where to fill my brows in with a pencil and where I should and should not pluck them for the next month. I have never had someone pay so much attention to my eyebrows, AND it was also a great price, only $12 + tip!

Hidden gem in Crystal City...They know how to cut hair the way you want your hair to look. Not a cheap american chop shop like great clips or super cuts. They actually listen to what you want and your hair cut comes out looking just how you wanted it to look. Highly recommend this Vietnamese run and owned hair salon. I wont go anywhere else in Arlington.

The owner is so sweet and the workers act like they care, on the super plus side no one noticeably talking about you in another language, so professional. On top of that they started offering me cucumber water, red and white wine...RIGHT?! seriously nice place tucked away, and would get 5 stars if it was a little cleaner and bigger with less wait.UPDATE: changed to 1 star!I went here and the lovely owner (the pretty one) wasnt there. If you dont see her just walk back out. It was still dirty and a giant bug was chilling on the wall.Got hair trimmed, wanted 1 inch off, got 4 whole inches off! Was originally quoted $45 for wash cut dry bc I have hair down to my shoulder blades (not that long), I decided against the dry and was still quoted $40 after it was all done! I take a look at their pamphlet pricing and I see $25 starting for wash cut and DRY!!!! I was way over charged and still tipped 20%! :(I decided Ill get my nails done while hair dries, looked for sheer pink color I had last time and we couldnt find it which greatly annoyed the woman doing my nails that I wouldnt just pick another, but I have strict work rules, Im sorry. I just opted to get my cuticles cleaned up which were done nice, but I was charged $15!!!! I look into the pamphlet again, its $15 for a whole manicure! But I didnt get polish or top or bottom coat or anything! Again overcharged!! I stilled tipped $3! You MUST be careful who you deal with here, go for the pretty owner because she is an honest woman and wont swindle you. Im disappointed and wont return unless the owner makes it right :(

Review №86

Ive undergone a hair transformation! For over 10 years, I have basically had the same hairstyle: medium-to-long length and layers. The shortest my hair has been in the last decade has been shoulder-length. As of Friday however, that has all changed. Im now sporting a very chic asymmetrical bob, thanks to the talents of Tina.My friend recommended this salon to me awhile ago. Recently, Ive been thinking of a bigger hair change and on a whim booked an appointment Friday morning for later that afternoon. Its an easy-to-miss place, squashed between an Italian restaurant and a cleaners. Its not too big inside either, with only three stations for hair in the front and six pedicure chairs in the back. Theres a manicure table in the very back that seats three at most.I came about 15 minutes early but they were able to seat me right away and the receptionist went to get my stylist, Tina. Tina thanked me for coming in and offered something to drink (options include wine). Then, she asked me what I wanted. I asked for short hair and showed her a few Pinterest pictures. I was worried that she would deter me from getting short hair, as stylists usually tend to look very surprised and worried whenever I get my long mane cut. However, Tina didnt sway me in the slightest and even nodded when I asked if I would look okay with short hair.Next, I watched with amazement as she transformed the hair station into a shampoo station. The shampoo station is built right in so theres no need to move around with dripping wet hair. Genius! However, I will note that it doesnt look like they clean the shampoo sinks as well as I would have hoped. Tina shampooed and conditioned my hair, and she even gave me a brief head massage. Afterwards, she used a towel to dry my hair which she promptly threw into the sink. A little while later however, I watched as she took that same towel from the sink and used it to dry my neck before tossing it back in. That triggered a little germophobe in me. Thankfully, the other towels she used were all new.Tina brought over some magazines and showed me two pictures of short hair but with vastly different lengths. She wanted to make sure that I really wanted a short length (I guess in the pasts, clients have been less than enthused after saying they wanted short hair but not liking the outcome). After I reassured her, she got to work. She was efficient and within 15 minutes, my hair had been shaped. She began blowdrying and styling my bob for another 15 minutes. When I looked into the mirror, I was so surprised to see how good my bob looked! I was honestly a little worried that I would hate my short hair, but its been two days and Im still loving the look! Ive also gotten a lot of compliments on it. Tina gave me an asymmetrical bob, which works perfectly with my face. I told her in the beginning that all I wanted was short hair and I wanted her to do whatever she thought would make it look good, and thats exactly what she did. She took what I wanted and made it work according to my face shape.Another thing I should note is that after my cut, Tina tried to get the stray hair off my neck by wiping it off and even blowdrying it quickly. However, as I was walking home, my neck itched like crazy and when I went to scratch it, all these little stray hairs were on my fingers. When I got home, I saw that there was a small patch of stray hairs on my neck and even on my back. Nothing that cant be washed off but just something to keep in mind if youre planning on going straight to an event or something after a cut.Total was $40, which is such a steal in this area for shampoo (including head massage) + cut + blowdry. Ive spent much more in the past for way less. So while I do wish the place was cleaner and that they would clean the stray hairs off my neck, I would come back for a good, inexpensive cut and style.

The nail technician cut a deep hole in my nail. Then they charged me for it. Also they do not do SNS as they advertise. Not pleased.
