The worse nail service I’ve received so far in Virginia. I’m from Miami and I’m stationed in VA because I’m military. My pedicure was done correctly. But my nails were done poorly and rushed. I’ve never experienced someone putting the acrylic all over my skin. The lady who did my nails is the lady that works the register and is usually the one who asks you what service you need when you walk in. She did not take her time with my nails she did them really big, didn’t shape them and she caught an attitude when I ask her to clean up the acrylic off of my skin. She rushed to try to clean the acrylic off my skin (the crusty white stuff you see in the photo, It was wayyyy worse then that before I attempted to peel it off myself) and tried to camouflage it but putting oil and alcohol on top of it. When the oil and alcohol dried there was still lots of acrylic left on my skin. If you decide to go here just get a pedicure, her mother did my pedicure and she did a really good job, she took her time and was super sweet.

I decided to treat myself to my first pedicure in three years and stumbled upon this nail salon after my trip to petsmart and I must say after they were finished with me I felt like I had brand new feet. It was like I was walking on clouds. Years of tension and stress were scraped away and I felt lighter. I got the spa treatment which was amazing. They used those smooth rocks and wrapped my feet in wax! I loved the hot towels as well. They offered drinks and snacks also while being serviced which was very nice. I got my nails done as well and Jenny knew what she was doing. I havent had french tips in years and mine are so cute now because of her. I will definitely be returning.

Im very upset with my nails. This was my first and last time here. My nails look like my six year old granddaughter did them. I would not recommend this salon.

I will NEVER visit this salon again. I don’t know what role this woman plays in this salon but she’s very rude and inconsiderate. It is there job to notify you of any additional expenses before they finalize there work and that was not done. There was no customer service whatsoever. The acrylic on my nails was sure thick and ugly I was so over it! Never again! I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!!

My first time trying them. Made a appointment with the owner at 9:30am. The sign says 9:30 as well.I got back in my car at 10:00 am. No one ever showed up. Later that day I was informed that the owners/ employees are always late. 🤔😒 Really bad for business and the license board if reported. The owner thinks its normal to be late. I went to Crystal nails 8 minutes away. Ask for Jennifer or her husband. Love Crystal nails.

I love this place. Best pedi ever. I was a walk in and didnt expect alot. I got great massage and nails done . They offered drinks and a snack. The place is clean and does not smell like polish remover. I will be back very nice. I saw them cleaning the whole time and they were very professional.

I absolutely love this place! They are so hospitable. They make sure their work is done the right way and if you have an issue they will correct it. I always feel welcomed and comfortable each time I come to get a manicure and pedicure. The next time I will try lashes and eyebrows!

Give this shop a chance there are a lot of bad reviews when shop was under old management. The owner told me if anything is wrong she will fix it. They have all the new gel polishes and the owner did an excellent wax on me. Beverages were offered as well.

I’ve been going here for quite some time, but I don’t think I will be returning. There is is a sign on the door that states mask are required for EVERYONE. The workers don’t wear mask. There was a young lady that was seated right next to me without a mask on. They are not sanitizing their stations behind people, nor do they wash their hands between clients. Very disappointed will not be returning.

Review №22

They were very nice when I went in last week, but I do not think Ill go back. Day one, my gel manicure perfectly matched my regular polish on my toes. Within a few days, the polish on my hands started yellowing. I think the gel top coat they used might be too old? Its unfortunate, I really did like the color before it started yellowing. My gel manicures usually last 2-3 weeks without discoloration from other salons. My pedicure was not the most evenly cut, either. I guess you get what you pay for? The prices are cheap for the area.

Me and my son came here at 8:30 at night as last minute for my sister wedding, my son was of course sleep the husband stopped what he was doing and bought a chair and also a cover and made my son comfortable while offering me cold beverages. The wife then started my nails about 9pm and took her time and was very very nice, she owned the nail salon in Walmart and she has a beautiful soul! she is really good at what she do and they are super affordable! if you like gel I’d highly suggest! I am a nurse so I can’t get my nails done often but I would highly recommend them.

The owner called herself getting loud with me after I told a tech what was wrong. From the moment I walked in at 1030 I was not even acknowledged... No pick your color, no hello, no asking what services. They all seated 3 other customers before me so after waiting 1hr 45 minutes I left and returned 10 minutes and no one acknowledged me. Plenty other girls got seated and spoken to. When I told the tech of my frustrations the owner gets in my face shouting and screaming that shes not shouting and that no one paid me any mind because they know I wait for her. No one even acknowledged me, so how do you know what I want when no one asked? Almost called the police because she was acting all bazaar and turning colors. Never again.

ATTENTION ALL !! My MOTHER(SHERRY) TOOK OVER THIS BUSINESS AND DO NOT HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS COMING HERE, AS HER 26 YEAR OLD SON I KNOW HER WORK, SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS TYPE OF JOB FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND GROWING UP I KNOW WHAT SHE IS CAPABLE OF. SHE TRULY CARES ABOUT HER CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION, I HAVE WORKED FOR HER BEFORE I STARTED IN THE SUSHI RESTAURANT 6 years AGO. SHE IS THE BEST AT WHAT SHE DOES AND THAT IS A FACT. HER NAME IS SHERRY PLEASE GIVE HER A TRY. THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DID A VERY POOR JOB WITH THE BUSINESS SO PLEASE GIVE MY MOTHER A CHANCE. SHE IS FROM VIETNAM AND I WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES, SHE IS A VERY HARD WORKING SINGLE MOM OF 2 KIDS, Working 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR 13 HOURS. TAKING OVER A BUSINESS THAT HAS FAILED FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER IS VERY DIFFICULT BUT I KNOW SHE CAN DO IT BECAUSE HER WORK IS SO PROFESSIONAL I MEAN ITS 100% LEGIT. PLEASE BELIEVE ME I KNOW MY MOTHER AND IVE SEEN HER WORK GROWING UP👍👍👍

Couldnt understand the workers at all they barely spoke English at all. the lady who did mine was more concerned with what was easier for her then what I wanted. Went to a different nail place right after and had them taken off. Out of all the manicures ive gotten this is the worst and the ugliest. Never going again. Never go here

I came today for the first time and was very happy with the service. I walked in asking for pedi/mani and was immediately brought back to the pedicure chair after choosing my color. I was asked if the temperature was okay, they didn’t want the water to be too hot, but it was perfect. I was offered a beverage and got help turning on the massage chair. I had a wonderfully relaxing 45 minute spa pedicure and was escorted over to the manicure station. After the wonderful spa manicure, while i was waiting for my nails to dry, they offered to set up a custom drying station so I could see the TV (I was engulfed in the series) I waited for what seemed like 15 minutes, enjoying the show, for my nails to dry but when I tapped them to verify, I ended up smudging two nails - they weren’t quite dry. They were quick to repaint not just the ones I smudged, but my entire manicure! No huffing or puffing or speaking back in forth in another language, they were genuinely eager to fix them. I was even given some sample lotions and yummy candies to take home. I was beyond impressed with their friendliness, fair pricing, and calming atmosphere. I will absolutely return again!

This shop is under relatively new management and ownership. I have known the woman that owns the shop, Sherry, for almost 30 years. She used to own the shop at the Walmart on military highway. When she sold her shop she went out to the Angel Nails at Aragon’s. The owners were not good to The nail techs or the customers, so she left for theSuffolk area, and it was too far for me to go. But is soon as she got back here, I went straight to her new shop. It’s the same wonderful service and products. She and her husband John, and daughter, Jenny, all work in the shop and do all they can to make it a pleasant experience. Not to mention I have never had to have a repair, and I have never had to lose a nail. I get compliments on my nails wherever I go. If you’re not satisfied with the service you received at your present shop you should really consider trying Sherry at nails 21 right beside the pet stop across military Highway from the technical school. You’ll never be sorry. Jan

I have never been to this shop before and I will never go back. I had acrylic all over my fingers and the nails were messy. After about 2 days I already had chips in the gel polish. I have never had this happen at any other shop and am very disappointed that I spent as much as I did on what I feel is low quality work.

I went to get my eyebrows arched. The guy was nice to me but the wife.....didn’t even say hello to me. She literally said Nothing to me before, during, or after arching my eyebrows. She did not value my business and I will not return.

If I could give zero stars i would. The young girl was lazy. I went with my Male companion. She started the water then went a little room where she stayed for about 5 or 10 minutes. The older lady had to go get her so she could do his pedicure. When we walked in, he said we were there for mani pedis. After she barely did his pedicure she disappeared again without asking of he wanted anything else. When she finally completed the manicure his nails looked like someone bit them off. She did a horrible job. I had the older gentleman do my pedicure. He did a good job on my pedicure however, I paid for gel polish and the next day the polish on my big toe peeled off. So that means the products were old. If that wasnt bad enough as he polished my toes he kept staring how black polish was sexy on my feet. Im in VA quite often but this will be my last trip here.

This is my 1st time going to nails 21 in a little over a year and I will never ever go here again!! When I walked in the young girl asked what I wanted and I said a Mani/pedi so she proceeded to give me colors to choose from and went to prepare for my pedicure. Once my feet were in the water I asked her where is Mr. Henry which she informed me that he no longer works there and asked if thats who I wanted. I decided to just go ahead with the basic mani/pedi thinking nothing can go wrong with that. Well I just paid $60 for a mani/pedi with gel polish that looks like I did it myself!!! I feel like I still need to go home and scrub the heels of my feet because she did not. And I have polish all around the cuticles of my mani!! This price is ridiculous for a basic mani/pedi with nothing added but gel polish. Im only giving this a one star because I like the color of the polish and they offered me a bottle of water!!

I went to get my nails done at Nails 21. The only lady that works there offered me colored acrylic for my nails saying that it’ll last a month. I trusted her and let her do them. A week later I had like 5 nails broke off without me even being rough on them or anything. I came back to the store to get them replaced for free & the wife and husband that works there both were speaking in a different language arguing about doing my nails for free since she messed them up. She redid most of them & in less than a week AGAIN I had some more nails lift off because she replaced all my nails but 2. I really don’t suggest anyone go there. The service sucks and the money you spend for your service is bad I paid 40 dollars for my nails to practically last a week in a half.

This place was nice when i walked in. The workers were attentive, but one of them- a guy- messed up my nails by painting OVER the nail bed like a 5 year old, didnt file my nails so they were jagged till i fixed them, was rushing the process, and finally, when he tried to do the nail art, i honestly told him i didnt know what it was supposed to be. He YELLED AT ME. told me he was an artist and that i dont know art and other nail salonists dont understand him. Waste of 35 dollars. Wth was going on with him?
