Ms. Lena is very kind, welcoming, and professional. She works very hard to make sure her clients are happy with their nails. Her salon is very clean and private so you can be comfortable. I used to get acrylic nails a long time ago in other salons so my natural nail is very weak. They used to break every day so I had to keep them very short. I started going to Ms. Lena and getting Dazzle Dry (it is like regular polish, not gel so you don’t need UV light or anything)! My nails feel so strong and they never break! I never thought I could have long natural nails. The polish literally lasts 3 WEEKS for me. Ms. Lena only uses the highest quality products. I love Dazzle Dry and I am so happy she introduced me to it. I will never go back to harsh, cheap acrylic from other salons. I get so many compliments on my nails and I will always recommend Lena’s Nail and Skincare!

GO TO LENA.I will never go anywhere else. Im very lucky to have found Lena because I had gotten acrylics from another salon when I had asked for gel nail extensions. When I found out they were acrylics I was super scared about nail damage since I am a former nail biter. I told Lena all of this and she really took the time and care to get all of the acrylic off without damaging my nails. She kept making sure I was okay through the process. Being a former nail biter, I was shocked that all of my nails didnt break and fall off. Lena is a really genuine, kind, and caring person. Shes super fun to talk to and really ensures your nails are receiving the best care and uses quality products which I really appreciate. Shes the best! Also those are my natural nails in the photo!!

I have tried a few different nail places in surrounding areas and have continued to fail to find someone who takes so much pride in their work. Lena was amazing and is very talented. She helps you understand the product she is using and recommends the best process for your nail goals. She genuinely cares about the ingredients regarding nail products and takes the time to make sure you are happy with her work. This is the 1st time I am trying the German Gel Nail and could not be happier. It feels light weight and they are just beautiful!😍

Lena was amazing and I felt like meeting an old friend! I used to do acrylic and regular gel nails, but it started getting painful so I had to stop. After finding Lena’s site I read more about LCN German gel nails and wanted to try it, since it’s better for nails than the other methods. Lena was very professional and nice as she kept me informed on what the process is like! She was attentive and made sure I liked my nails after filing and buffing. When I told her I had been in pain the last few times I did acrylic, she checked on me and often made sure I was pain free, and I was! Lena keeps everything VERY clean and sterile! The price for these nails are very much worth it! They’re so weightless and look so natural! Definitely recommend!

Ms. Lena is amazing! I have been looking for a, professional and experienced nail technician for a year. I was worried about COVID and how safe it would be to get services done but Ms. Lena takes time in between every client to thoroughly disinfect the area so no worries there! Her work is impeccable. The gel brand she uses lasts 3 weeks and the my nails are so natural looking. She is kind, helpful and very knowledgeable in her craft and the products she uses. She takes her time but is efficient with your time as she never makes you wait! Thank you Ms. Lena for your amazing customer service and beautiful works of art!!!

Lena is AMAZING. I’ve been going to her for about 3 months now. She takes her time & really makes you happy. I have NEVER left her salon unhappy. She will make time for you always, even if it’s for a broken nail. I get the LCN gel and it’s from Germany so yes, it is a little bit more pricey than the cheap acrylics you get at other nail salons however it is WELL WORTH the money. My nails are stronger than ever now and I can go three weeks without seeing her and they still look perfect. I would recommend her to everyone. She is all around a great person and very hardworking. This is by far the best nail tech I’ve ever been to, I’ve been to at least 30 over the years. I will never go back to the cheap acrylics and other nail salons. Don’t look anywhere else, GO HERE. You will not be disappointed.

Been going to Lena for sometime. Started seeing her again after she came back to work after the initial Covid scare. Feel really confident seeing her. She does her nails and facial work in a private room. She has an air purifier and a separation between me and her. But most importantly, I watch how seriously she takes her protective care, washing down everything, taking my temp, and using private instruments just for me. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, but I feel that we are both protected as well as can be. Plus she still does her great nail work!

EXTREMELY SANITARY with many extra protective precautions implemented…. Lenas individualized service means there is no on in her studio except you. She has always sanitized her tools in an autoclave and continues to take extra steps including the installation of physical barriers and air cleaning machines. Lena offers amazing facials and meticulous nail services. I have been using Lena since 2001, even though I now live 45 minutes away. I have never found anyone that surpasses her in terms of professionalism, quality and truly caring for her clients.

Lena is absolutely fabulous! With over 20 years of experience she is hands down the best nail technician I have ever used. She is extremely talented, professional and has excellent customer service. She uses the highest quality products that wont damage your nails or skin. Her boutique is clean and charming, very private and welcoming! I wont go anywhere else no matter the cost! She doesnt cut corners with her products or service so expect the very best with Lena =)

Update: I just experienced a facial session with Lena. It was a lovely, tranquil experience. My skin has never felt better. Her skin-care product line is excellent. I want to remind everyone that Lenas Nail and Skin Care is a private experience (small suite with all services performed by Lena only).Lena is excellent at everything she does. Manicures, pedicures, facials and so much more. Private suite and wonderful conversation. Located in Worldgate shopping center in the SALON PLAZA at the very end of the shopping center (exterior entrance) with easy access from the underground garage or surface parking. Everything she does is wonderful. Her manicures are amazing.

Lena is the best. Her work is flawless and she always makes sure youre satisfied with the results. There is no one else I can ever go to. No wonder many of her clients have been with her 5 years and more. You will never be disappointed.

Lena is wonderful! She has been my nail technician for seven years and I wont go anywhere else. She provides a variety of nail services including gel & shellac and her pedicures are awesome! Her attention to detail and cleanliness is impressive (and important to me). My skin has noticeably improved since she began offering facial services several years ago. Her facials are very relaxing as well. I highly recommend Lena for nail and skin care.

Lena has taken great care of my gel nails now for many years. I routinely receive compliments on how great my nails look even after two or three weeks. I am also delighted by Lenas skin care. I love her facials which not only leave my skin looking great but are also extremely relaxing. Lena has a massage touch like no other. Lena is very professional and kind and I greatly enjoy my time with her.

Lenas Nails & Skin Care is the best place to have your manicure & pedicure done. Lena has been taking care of my nails for almost 20 years, I have followed her from her from the first salon she worked at to her own salon. I dont like to have anyone else to take care of my nails. Lenas care and attention to detail is far superior to her competitors. She uses the highest quality products to protect your skin and nails and she takes pride in her work and her salon. Her salon is the cleanest I have ever been to. Lena is also the nicest person to work with, easy to communicate with, personable and she has genuine concern and care for her clients.

Came to get my toes and nails done for spring break and they look better than ever!! My nails look super great, I came in with bad nails prior and she fixed them up with gel and tips and it looks very natural! Would come again.

Lena is the best! I am going to Lena for 15 years and followed her everywhere.Now she works at Worldgate Herndon Salon Plaza. Her private room is nicely decorated and very clean.It’s a perfect place to have your facial and nails done. I like the gel product from Germany she uses on my nails. I always get a lot of compliments. She keeps a personal nail set for me only. Lena does an excellent anti-aging collagen facial. I enjoy her services and her company very much!

Lena has been giving me the most wonderful shellac manicures and pedicures for the past 17 years. Her attention to detail is beyond compare. She uses first rate products which makes for a manicure that easily lasts two weeks. She never uses anything but the best products. Her salon is calming and inviting, and Lenas gracious personality is evidenced by the fact that she always has a cup of delicious tea waiting. Lena is clearly the best nail technician in northern Virginia.

Lena only uses the best quality products and has very high standards which makes her stand out. I have been getting LCN Germany Gel manicures from her for a few months and my nails have never looked better. Her salon is private and kept very clean!

Perfection!!I’ve been going to Lena for as long as I remember doing my nails. Either a simple manicure, shellac or gel, the work is just astounding.She uses top quality products...•LCN GEL (Light Concept Nail) (Germany)Light Concept Nail•Dazzle Dry (VEGAN, Cruelty-Free &Hypoallergenic.Being an esthetician myself, I’m very demanding on quality and sterilization.She takes her time with her work.She’s an innovator...You will not be sorry to go see her!!

I found Lena and will not go anywhere else! Lena has her own private salon so when you are there, her attention and time and focused on you. She pays close attention to detail and takes her time. When I leave I am relaxed and my nails look amazing!They say you get what you pay for and with Lena, you’re getting quality service that’s well worth the price!

Lena do a great job every time I go and see her. She is very clean, give attention to the details and make sure you are happy with her work before you leave.I have been Lenas client for more than 4 years now and even though I moved out of that area I still drive to Herndon to do my nails because I trust her work.

Amazing personality but when it comes to quality and price, there’s a lot to be desired. Shaping of gel finger tips are substantially wider than nail beds and for the price of $100 +, I expect perfection and not fingertips looking like toe nails.

Lena is the absolute best at what she does! She uses a superior quality gel, LCN from Germany, takes her time when she is filling and reshaping my nails, and always is very thorough in ensuring I am satisfied. Since she takes such care when she does my nails, and uses LCN, my nails look fabulous for 3-4 weeks. Thanks Lena!!!

I have been seeing Lena for gel refill nails for nearly 18 years. She is a very talented nail technician and a consummate professional. Her salon is always spotless, and she takes great pride in her work. She is also a licensed facialist who provides an assortment of skin treatments. Make an appointment with her! You will never want to go anywhere else.

From start to finish, I had an AMAZING experience. Lena is nice, professional and very clean. I had been unable to get a pedicure for a while because of my schedule and this pampering session was so needed!! I was offered hot tea and cookies and the massage was so goood. I work in Salon Plaza as well as a Hairstylist and Im definitely telling all of my clients about Lena.

After 20 years with Lena I wouldn’t even consider going to anybody else, she’s the very best. You might spend a little more time and money than at an average salon but it is more than worth it. She cannot be beat in attention to detail, cleanliness and skill. My nails had never been pretty but since Lena took over their care I have had many compliments. Her professionalism is above par.And as an added bonus Lena is one of the nicest people you can meet, always cheerful, smiling and she’ll go out of her way to accommodate you and your schedule.I cannot recomend her strongly enough.

Lena has been taking care of my nails for over 21 years. I do not want anyone else doing my manicures now that I have been spoiled by Lena. I have followed her from her early career working in various salons to opening her own business. Her pride in her work, attention to detail, and care of her clientele is unmatched. I have moved twice, each time further away and I now travel one and a half hours each way for my nail appointments. Yes, Lena is that good!

I will change hair salons; I will change places to shop; but I will NEVER change my nail technician. Lena is the best at what she does and her work is impeccable. She offers a wide range of services and each service is done with the utmost of care, cleanliness, and perfection. Having Lena take care of your nail and skincare needs will be the best change anyone can make.

Lena provides quality nail and skin services, and I have been going to her for years. Her space is calming, private and so clean. She is very detailed and my skin has improved over the last few years under her care. I highly recommend her as a professional and service provider.

I have been using Lena of Lenas Nail and Skin Care exclusively since 2001. Even though I have moved away from the Herndon area and now live near Alexandria, it is worth it to me to make the drive to Lenas private studio and have Lena do her magic on my nails and skin. I take my Mom and our out of town guests to Lenas and they are always impressed with the quality of her work!I love going to Lenas studio because she is the only technician/esthetician there. Her studio is very peaceful and the air quality is good without concern for toxic acrylic odors or other issues that can arise when one goes to a nail salon with numerous technicians using volatile products.Lena is very detailed and customer service oriented, and uses all sterilized tools and sanitary procedures. Her nail station and pedicure area are immaculate. Her nail services include an amazing non toxic sculpting nail gel that lasts for weeks, and looks fabulous! I was amazed at the compliments I would get on my nails even from cashiers in the stores!. I highly recommend her as providing the absolute best manicure/pedicure services I have ever come across in the Washington D.C. area... or even anywhere else in my travels!Lena offers a variety of facials that are so nurturing. She has a soothing, touch that leaves you feeling relaxed and revitalized. Lena is always professional, a perfectionist and simply a delight to be around. . She goes above and beyond in everything she endeavors to do so you will leave feeling pampered, beautiful and absolutely thrilled with her work.

Lena is skilled and very professional. She cares for my skin and nails and they look wonderful. I have gone to her for 15 years and will follow her anywhere because there is no one like her.

Lena is the BEST nail technician, hands down! I’ve been going to her for almost 20 years & have always had an A+ experience every time. Lena’s Salon at Worldgate’s Salon Plaza is scrupulously clean & she uses only the finest nail products.Lena also is a trained aesthetician who gives exceptional facials & anti-aging treatments. My skin has improved SO much since I started having regular treatments with her. It’s firmer & my fine lines are much improved.Finally, Lena is an incredibly pleasant & caring person. She always asks about my family members by name & genuinely cares about her clients. I consider her a treasured friend as well as an exceptional service provider.Give Lena a try & you won’t be disappointed, I promise! Just bring cash or a check because she doesn’t take credit cards.

Lena is awesome at what she does and my nails have become super healthy. We do the LCN Germany gel and it’s just great.

I have been Lena’s client since 2008, one of several regular long-term clients, some of whom have been with her much longer. Lena is a very versatile esthetician who can perform a range of services — manicure (shellac, gel, SNS powder dip), pedicure, facial, waxing, eyebrow tinting and shaping, all of which she has done on me. She is very kind and caring, has a very nice touch, is meticulous about perfecting details on all her beauty services and works patiently on her clients in the privacy of her pleasantly neat salon “Lena’s Nail” (# 103 inside Salon Plaza). I highly recommend Lena for your beauty needs for nails and skin. You will have a very rewarding experience.

Lena is amazing, she took her time and spent 2.5 hours to make sure my nails looked fabulous. I have gone to sooo many salons all over reston, sterling, Herndon and she is the best. Her gel is the best ever. thank you lena for taking the time, making sure I love my nails and the shape, you are the bestest ever. I am a forever client. marybeth

I have known Lena and been going to her for mani/pedi:facials for more years than I care to count. Her work is outstanding whether nails or skin. Her work area is clean and immaculate. She is not just my nail technician but my friend!

I highly recommend Lena. My nails were a mess when I found her due to the low quality products used by the low cost chains. Lena uses high quality products only, keeps a set of files and such that she uses only for you and is extremely attentive to cleanliness. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Love my nails. Ive being going to Lena for a year now.

Lena is fantastic! I’ve been going to her for several months now and my nails have never looked better.

Everything is wiped down in between services and there are large screens between Lena for both Mani & Pedi. Lena wears a mask PLUS there is HEPA filtration system running. SAFE SAFE.Lena Provides premium services for manicures, pedicures and facials. She only uses top-of-the-line products. Her spa is spotless. And she has a lovely personality.
