nailsaloon (Logan Circle)

I was visiting DC for the weekend and was in need of a builder gel refresh! I booked an appt online and Ozzy did an amazing job! She was so thorough, gentle, and meticulous. I really appreciated all of the thoughtfulness they put into each experience! Would highly recommend!

Had great service, they just make you get up before dry. This happened when I moved from my seat. Then I had to wait for someone else to fix it. Added photos after correction: they let me stay in chair to dry after correction

I used to love this place. I don’t know what’s happened in the past two years but it’s really gone downhill. I came for a simple gel removal and regular speedy mani. She was very aggressive with the drill, to the point that it was causing me pain and discomfort. She created a huge cut on my thumb that is still bleeding hours later. The nail shapes are not all almond between my two hands, and with my nails being long, there was no reason she couldn’t have got the shape right. I come here for convenience only, and hope every-time that my bad experience is one-off. Almost every time, I’m disappointed and the price point feels ridiculous for the experience. I can’t recommend this place to my friends anymore, this is not the NailSaloon I used to love.

I went here for the first time with high expectations but I left disappointed. Apart from the assembly line mentality my nail tech was clearly inexperienced and had to shave off part of my gel manicure multiple times because it came out uneven. Despite a valiant attempt to save the manicure, my nails came out lumpy and the color inconsistent. After 4 days two nails have chipped. Sometimes the hype is just that... will not be going back

I did like the manicure but I didn't know i was gonna get charge 40 dollars for a regular manicure REGULAR they should let people know first, I pay 15 regular in nyc, yes they do good job they give u a massage,scrub, hot towel and beverages but I don't need all that just clean and paint

Mansora is the best! She was so detailed oriented and very kind. After there wasn’t enough of the color I wanted she patiently showed me so many different color options and shades and tried them out on me to see which one I liked best. Consider yourself lucky if Mansora is your nail tech! Update (original review August 23): one month later, not a single chip!

Posting on behalf of my wife. Ramiza was absolutely amazing and thorough. I’m visiting DC and popped in , the sign in process was easy, I ordered a complimentary chai latte and they got to work. She was very attentive , made sure I liked it after every step , corrected any mistakes. I got a sheer milky base , thin French tip …The $20 tip was well deserved. I will be coming back here when I visit DC

Have always had really positive experiences here! Ramzia and Lily are both awesome. The builder gel they’ve started offering really holds up! I’m a barista and coffee grounds and dish washing can really do a number on even regular gel, but I have been really pleased with the toughness of the builder gel and the quality of its application by Lily! The front desk crew are efficient and keep things running smoothly even when it’s busy!

Warning: I'm about to sound like a paid promotion, but I'm just a girl who's been searching in vain for a new salon after moving to DC. Fingers crossed, but I think this is the one. Nail Saloon is such a breath of fresh air. There are so many thoughtful touches that take it from good to great. OVERALL: Their online scheduling experience is easy to use. They're transparent about pricing and what is included with each service, and there are lots of technicians to choose from. The salon itself is large, bright, and clear. It's clearly designed with a lot of care and intention. The nicest thing is how friendly everyone is, from the front desk to the nail techs. (Also, their playlist makes my millennial heart happy). It's a noticeable difference from the majority of nail salons I've been to. GEL MANI: Taylor and Gigi have done my gel manis so far, and they've both been great. Both were so careful with cleaning up my cuticles (which I'm particular about). I was impressed with how Taylor checked and triple checked that there were no ridges as she removed my polish and buffed my nails, and Gigi did an impressive job of mixing colors to match a shade I was looking for. They also put sunscreen on my hands before putting them under the UV, which is something I've considered doing before but hadn't seen in practice. Pretty great touch! They offer a "speedy mani" ($50) and "saloon mani" ($40) for, with the latter including things like a sugar scrub and a hot cream treatment. I booked the "saloon mani" just for fun, thinking I wouldn't really need the full experience going forward. I was wrong, and it felt worth it to me! Really took it from a routine appointment to a pampering experience. The only downsides I can think of are 1) gel polish removal isn't included in the prices above, even if you got your gel done with them and 2) gel manis I've gotten here haven't lasted as long as they usually do, although it's still a solid 2-ish week period. I believe it's because they use non-toxic brands, as I wasn't familiar with any of the brands they had.

Went in for a manicure during the week, I arrived early and still needed to wait around 15min over my appointment time. I washed my hands and was ready for my gel mani. I picked a light color and everything was great. My technician was very attentive and was always making sure I was ok with my choice of color. It was quick and very convenient.

After having a nightmare experience at another dc nail salon, I took a break from getting my nails done. I finally decided to give a new place a shot and am so happy I did - Nailsaloon is the best!!! The space is so clean, the technicians are super sweet, and you can have wine (or water/coffee) while getting your nails done. Honestly such a lovely treat yourself experience! I've easily been 10-15 times and never pick a technician, all but one has been incredible (the one technician was clearly new and did an ok, but not amazing job). Biggest rec is to make an appointment in advance, this is not a walk-in friendly spot. Also be on time to your appointment!

I've been here before and loved my manicures but this time tried a new tech. Not only did the manicure completely smudge within hours, shape was terrible but I woke up at 1am with terrible pain on both thumbs. I had asked a few times not to cut my cuticles but she did anyway and dug so deeply into the nail that I'm on my way to the doctor. I would only go here using one of the names reviewed otherwise it's just another fast salon with untrained people.

From the moment I stepped inside, am checked in, and the gentleman asked me to wash my hands... I knew this would be a good experience. Clean, efficient, and friendly. I was visiting from out of town and found this place on Yelp. It was close to my hotel and had good reviews so I gave it a try. Jade completed my Pedi & she was awesome. She gave a great leg massage and her attention to detail was very thorough. They have a variety of beverages and comfortable chairs. The prices are very reasonable as well. I will be back when i am in the area.

I've been visiting nailsaloon in Logan Circle for the past few months for a gel mani and gel pedi. I tried multiple nail techs and eventually landed on Kylie. Kylie gives a fantastic hand and foot massage as part of the service and my gel always looks smooth when she does it. I also generally enjoy the space, as it's usually pretty quiet and you're offered a beverage of your choice throughout your service. Highly recommend booking an appointment, this is not a walk-in friendly destination. Accessibility: second floor walk up location, not elevator accessible.

The Nailsaloon in Logan Circle is my go to for my manicure needs. I am not someone who regularly gets my nails done, but when I do, I always know I can count on them. Their facility is clean with long tables and a bright space. The chairs are comfortable, the music is great and the staff is friendly. They always offer you a beverage upon arrival, and they do host events for groups, which I've done before and they are super accommodating. I only get the Saloon Mani, so I can't speak to gel or design experiences for nail art. That said, several of my close friends love Altan (@nailsnyaltan). Most recently I had Ramzia and she was super kind and did a great job. From a price standpoint, I know Nailsaloon can be a tad more expensive than other salons. I am a firm believer of you get what you pay for, and the overall experience including their sugar scrub, hot towels and moisturizing lotion are what set them apart.

The gel polish brand they use is The Nail Gel Bottle Inc. There were a ton of options to choose from--both for a gel manicure and for a Dazzle Dry manicure. I ended up going with the rose gold gel because I'm not going to let anyone dull my sparkle. They also offer to put sunscreen on your hands before putting them under the UV light. The girl that did my nails was Hallie and she was really sweet.

The place was pristine, the pedicure was high quality, and the workers were all so sweet and accommodating, Highly recommend.

In desperate need of a nail fix I found Nailsaloon. I did a walk in appointment and was immediately given an appointment with Rosa who was very kind and a great conversationalist. The service was excellent with highlights such as a sugar scrub and a gorgeous warm oil and lotion massage. I was very pleased with everything. The salon was gorgeous with free coffee, tea and water. Their quiet policy was very refreshing and I felt very comfortable.

They did a wonderful job on our pedicures and service was excellent. Made sure that we were comfortable.

Super bummed to write this review, but after two disappointing experiences, and submitting my feedback directly to the business with no response, I wanted to share my experience. The last two times I went, I brought friends who were both new moms for a catch-up and pampering session for them. The first time was for a manicure, second time for a pedicure. I do like their online booking system and that you can book services together and they do a good job of seating you together. However, as several other reviewers have mentioned, the service is rushed and not even close to the length of time they advertise. For the high price, they shouldn't be rushing you and should at least give you close to the time advertised on their website/booking system. It feels like they are just trying to finish getting your nails done as quickly as possible and not concerned about the rest of the experience. The first time (manicure) we did a saloon mani, which is advertised as 35 minutes on their website. It took 25 minutes (note that they have multiple clocks up on the wall that you are facing, so I definitely noticed!) I thought maybe they were running behind for some other appointments, but after my nail tech was done I noticed she was hanging out towards the back of the salon with other techs (not servicing someone else), so I felt like it was cut short for no reason. But I thought it was maybe a one off bad experience. A few months later I tried again and went back with a different friend for a pedicure. I took note of when we sat down--the gel saloon pedi is advertised as 50 minutes, but I was done in 35. The massage, which is my favorite part of a pedicure (duh!) was so so short, like literally 1 minute per leg and not very good (just light rubbing basically, no real effort to massage). Given that the service was overall 15 minutes short, I would have really liked a longer massage at least. It was so disappointing. They don't have massage chairs for the pedicures either, as most other places do. The nail tech did a good job shaping and painting my toes but that's sort of the bare minimum you expect for a pedicure. This time the nail tech did immediately move to another client, so I suspect the service was cut short because they were busy and she was trying to get to the next person. I never tip less than 20%, so with tip I paid $70 for a 35 minute pedicure. Wayyy too expensive for the level of service we received. Especially because I was taking my new mom friends for pampering, I felt so disappointed for them that the experience was rushed and not relaxing. The front desk did not ask how everything was, so I didn't provide feedback there. But I did get an email afterwards asking "tell us how we did," so I clicked through and provided this feedback, because I always want to give businesses the chance to receive feedback privately and reach out. It has now been over a month and I never heard anything back. Super disappointed. I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a nice pampered experience to match the price.

This salon is truly a treat! Everyone is kind and friendly, the color options are much more extensive than most other salons in the area, and the prices are quite reasonable. You can even get a complimentary glass of wine while you get your manicure or pedicure!

Very good service and Sissi did a great job! Gave me a last minute appointment. I highly recommend this place.

I visited nailsaloon for the first time yesterday and although the setup I inside was cute and efficient I was underwhelmed with the customer service. I was there to meet a friend for a manicure. When I arrived I wasn't greeted by the lady at the front desk and she didn't prompt me to pick a nail color. I mentioned that I was meeting a friend whom I found and was able to sit next too. I was redirected by the nail tech to pick a color after asking if I should select one first. I noticed that most customers had drinks but I was never offered a drink. The service was fast and I felt like I was just being churned out so they could move on to their next client. I loved the time with my friend but the customer service was definitely lacking.

Mail saloon is my go to salon. They are the cheapest in the area yet offer great service. I go for a gel speedy mani which is $32. They have a large variety of colors and always do a great job. The only downside is you usually can't get a last minute appointment but instead have to book online in advance. Nevertheless this is the only place I'll go!

Wonderful, non-toxic, vegan nail place. And they do a great job. Have been going there for years. Highly recommended.

Nelida was amazing! Very attentive and listened to my needs. Her shaping was perfect. I was very pleased with how she cared for my toenails and feet during my pedicure. She was gentle and effective. She even tackled my ingrown toenails, doing her best to remove them or shape them in a way that would influence better growth and it worked! I've seen her twice and I haven't felt the pain of an ingrown since the first time I saw her. Amazing!!

Provides consistent quality and professional services. Easy to book, relaxed vibe. Recommend

I have been to nailsaloon twice and have been pleased both times. They take such good care of clients and make sure we're happy with the results. They put sunscreen on your hands before going under the UV light and only use non-harmful polishes. My gel manis from here do tend to chip earlier than at other places because of the different type of polishes. But I think that's a fair trade to not having formaldehyde and other carcinogens in the polish. Super cute place and the two techs I've had have been great, Gigi especially. Also, the speedy gel mani price is $32 , absolutely can't beat that price anywhere else in the city.

A huge shoutout to nailsaloon's managers Amanda and Andrea who reached out about my previous review and worked to make it right. I did have a chipping problem on my second go-round with the same color of gel polish on my manicure, but I think that brand might not have worked for my nails (not the tech's fault!). I didn't quite get the amount of time I wanted with it, but then again it's not the same gel polishes full of chemicals that can last for 3+ weeks. I also had a pedicure done on my second visit and it was fantastic. My nail tech spent a lot of time making sure my feet and legs were pampered and I felt like I left the salon with new feet. In general, staff and management are really friendly, professional, and efficient. Definitely recommend it!

Nice vibe. Very busy. Staff know what they're doing. A good place to get your feet done - and I love that it's so clean!

My daughter have an appointment for a Gel Manicure @3:45p. Got here 10mins late and was serve right away after you choose you color. You also get a complimentary drink. Nice and friendly service at the front desk but the technician is unfriendly & nor professional filing my nail the way I want.

I wanted to like this place so badly bc it is super cute and in a great location HOWEVER they only do gel. Which is great that they want to be non-toxic and things but the quality and last is absolutely terrible. I got my nails done a week ago already all have come off completely. Day 4 three nails were starting to peel up. The pedicure is still holding up! Also the colors on the bottles do not match very well at all. I selected a taupey mauve and it came out white? Overall would go back for pedicure but will never get my nails done here again.

My first experience with Nailsaloon has left me relaxed and impressed, and I look forward to returning! I got a gel manicure with Christine - she has such great attention to detail and is super sweet. I was self conscious about how beat up my nails and cuticles are, but she made everything smooth and even.

One week in and I don't want to get rid of my outgrown mani & there's no lifting. Love it.

I've been here a few times now and I do think they do a good job with nails. However, I go for nails as a way to treat myself and I always feel like I'm being rushed or not treated with care. The environment of this place feels very 'corporate' with long rows of nail and pedi booths. The focus is on efficiency and speed; they don't even encourage nail art because it takes so long. The pedi stations don't have any massage chairs. Don't get me wrong, they are almost always busy (almost no chance to walk in, so you must book online) but I wouldn't say it's a fun experience. The person at the front desk is not friendly at all. She was closely watching over and charged me extra for a gel removal because it took a bit longer without notifying me and kept micromanaging my appointment. It was weird. I don't think I'll come back.

The salon itself was lovely - I really like the long table to sit at for the manicure. That made it easy to chat with my friend. However, the nail tech was rude and unprofessional and the mani/pedi wasn't good enough to make up for it. I can get that anywhere in the city, a mani and pedi - but great customer service is apparently hard to get at this place. I was late due to difficulty finding parking and some unexpected heavy traffic for a Saturday. My nail tech provided me with absolutely ZERO grace - as if I was purposefully late - and was nasty the entire time. My time is also valuable and I apologized at the desk for my tardiness. I certainly would've preferred not to spend 10 minutes driving circles around the salon for parking. That being said, I do not believe for one second that I am the only customer to arrive late to an appointment - in fact there are reviews on this very site with customers indicating they were late but were not treated as poorly as I was. I had every intention of tipping more than my usual 20% since I was late but that thought quickly disappeared as the service went on. She was awful. I feel like I was ripped off leaving the tip I did. I explained I'd lost a toe nail and asked her not to file the nail that is growing back and to polish with clear only so as to not draw attention to it. She proceeded to ask me "how long has this been going on" and "have you been to a doctor" before she then started giving me unsolicited medical advice. She is a nail tech. Not a doctor. And my medical history IS NONE OF HER BUSINESS. I felt extremely uncomfortable with her line of questioning, facial expressions and advice about a matter she knows absolutely nothing about. I don't owe her any explanation about my health. Period. Ironically, what was her business - gel manicures - she refused to engage in any conversation about or answer my question. I asked because I was interested in the service. What's the difference between a gel manicure and the regular manicure, I asked. Standard question that should've been easily answered. Her response was "there's a lot of differences" with her face all twisted up. Between her bad energy, rude attitude and lack of customer service the manicure should've at least been good. But I guess she was so angry about whatever her problem was she couldn't be bothered with doing her job well. Waste of time and waste of money. I will not return and encourage others to try the mimosa mani/pedi in DuPont Circle. Their nail techs are nice.

Awesome place! The prices are reasonable, which is hard to find in the area, and the customer service was great. Drinks are complementary and the nail tech did a great job with my nails, she even gave me a little hand massage at the end that was heavenly! Super sanitary and clean place too. Highly recommend

I got a manicure and pedicure. My technician was professional, polite, and very good. The staff is SUPRR amazing, which is a testament to the owner. The atmosphere was lively and fun.

I've been here twice. On my second visit, I was running late (unexpectedly hit construction traffic) and I was texted by the salon and I informed them I was still coming but running late. After getting out of traffic and arriving by the salon I informed them I was looking for parking via text. By the time I got in the salon I was 30 minutes late to my scheduled time. I expected my appointment would either need to be rescheduled or I would have to wait, which I wouldn't have objected to. But when I arrived, the front desk individual told me I may or may not be serviced at all and said regarding the tech I had scheduled with that "his clients are always on time." The person at the front desk came back and told me I wouldn't be serviced and I would be charged the no show amount. I was frustrated because I had been in communication via text to update them on my whereabouts and it would have been helpful if they told me to just not bother coming instead of me remaining in traffic. Another person who works there came up and said I could have a regular gel appointment with any of the techs (my original appointment was for builder gel, which only one person there handles). I was fine with that, especially because I don't get my nails done often and I just wanted something done to them for my birthday. The overall experience was a bit uncomfortable after that. The manicure was very quick, the tech didn't clean under my nails. I specifically came to this location because I enjoyed my first experience there. I still provided the standard tip for my service (because even with poor service, we live in a tip economy so I think it's always important to do so) but after today, I'll look elsewhere. Things happen beyond a person's control that affect someone being on time. And I didn't appreciate how I was spoken to.

I'm gonna say in four words. Professional, Gracious, Efficient, Classy. That's it! Must Return.

Beautiful ambiance. I like the ease of online booking. They offer you a beverage such as water, tea, coffee, wine at start of appt. I had the gel mani + pedi. Great massage on the pedi! I'm sharing a photo from my gel french manicure which is 9 days after the service and still looks stellar! Bonus: they offer to clean jewerly complimentary. Five stars :)

This was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! My nail tech Emily took such good care of me. I'm currently in an arm sling with a separated shoulder and she was so accommodating to me and checked in to make sure I wasn't in any pain the entire process. I'm also a cosmetologist myself and this place passed all the sanitation things I look for in a salon! I'll definitely be back and I'm even more stoked it's a non toxic spot! 10/10 would recommend

Really good experience with a pedicure I tried today. Good color selection, nice ambience, and very good staff. Slightly on the pricier side, and no massage chairs (instead a solid good massage but the nail technician, well appreciated); overall I think I'll be back!

Third time coming here (Logan Circle Saloon) for a gel "speedy mani". The nail technician was quick and did a very good job. Leaving with a great result. Nice, clean space without too much noise. Would recommend! I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5, since I had a less great experience last time (at Capitol Hill), where the technician did a messy job. However, I was in contact with the manager afterwards and received a refund. Good customer service.

Two visits, two amazing pedicures. I wanted to wait and review once I saw how my nails would hold up, but I got them done in mid-September and they just started looking less-than-perfect (minus new growth) at the beginning of November. Plus, this time beverages are back - maybe they were last time, I can't remember but don't think I was offered one, but I had a nice glass of wine and a really soothing experience. I'll definitely be back...probably in about six weeks!

I've been struggling as I debated whether or not to write this review. I really wanted to love this place...and I did...but my gel nails were chipping within a week. Not a good thing when you are spending over $100 for a mani/pedi plus tip. Let me say...this isn't my first rodeo with gel nail polish. I'm used to my gel manicure lasting at least two and a half weeks without a chip. So why was I struggling to rewrite this review? For starters, the place has a positive vibe. The people including the lady who did my mani/pedi are all respectful and the place is immaculately clean. You are offered a variety of hot and cold beverages to enjoy during your service. To be honest though, I'd rather spend this kind of money at a place that is incredibly clean, the decor is pleasant, no beverages offered, and my mani/pedi lasts. I mean that's why people patronize this establishment don't they? I'm willing to try this place again when I'm back in DC this month. Hoping my experience was a one off.

I had a great time here last Friday! My sister, mom, and I went here to get our nails done prior to my sister's wedding the next day. The technician was great - my feet looked and felt so much better after my pedicure, and she treated my hands just as well. I also liked the quick-drying polish they used - I chose the same color for both fingers and toes. I'm glad to show off my nails to everyone!

Decided to try this salon because I was looking for a place that used toxin free products and took cleanliness and sanitation seriously. Not only did this salon meet both requirements, but the staff was incredibly accommodating. They have limited services because they only work with toxin free products which limits what you can do but definitely worth it. Will be going again.

This is a great place- service is always dependable, and they take great care of clients. It's my go-to destination in DC.

I'm not even an hour post appointment and could not wait to let the world know how much I love this place already! First, I want to send a big shout out to my sissy for putting me on to this gem! She literally raved about nailsaloon last week and here I am 7 days later with a fresh mani and a smile on my face every time I look at my nails! As of recently I have been getting dip powder, but I could tell the overall health of my nails was declining, so I decided to take this as a sign to try nailsaloon to whip these babies into shape! I booked appointments online for myself and a co-worker for the Saloon Mani for noon on a Friday afternoon and I'm glad we did because this place fills up FAST! When we arrived, we checked-in, and were told to choose our colors; however, my coworker requested a French manicure and I copied (I've never had one!). The French mani is an extra $8. My nail tech was Hannah and she was great! I especially LOVED the scrub that was applied to my hands and forearms and massaged in! Even after washing my hands, my skin still felt moisturized! Oh, and they clean your rings here! Yes, you read correct RING CLEANING! My ring hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long and looked brand spankin' new when I got it back. The whole time my coworker and I were here we ohh'd and ahh'd and not once did I smell any harsh chemicals or hear drilling of any sort. I definitely will be back in 2 weeks for my next dose of nailsaloon! Thank you for giving my nails life!!!!!

I have been to nailsaloon twice and will certainly be making it a regular experience. The atmosphere is more spa-like than other nail salons with modern finishes and light interior. The manicure itself is literally perfect, the nail technicians pay fine attention to detail across shaping, cleaning and polish and do a great job on the massage. I got the Saloon Gel Manicure and it is flawless. Other small touches like their non-toxic polish, application of sunscreen before the UV gel curing, cute trays for rings and bracelets removed during a manicure, and their easy online booking system, you can tell this salon cares about their customers.

Great non-toxic option in DC for beautiful nails! They do NOT do acrylics/nail extension here given their non-toxic commitment, so not the place if you want to add on nails! However, the saloon salon is clean, professional, and has amazing artists. It's a very comfortable space to be in - especially without all that chemical smell! Definitely will keep returning whenever I have fancy nail needs.

It's a clean, peaceful, upscale nail salon that smells good, not like chemicals used at other salons. Love that it's a natural place. If pregnant women and kids can go in without breathing fumes, I'm there. They added Dazzle Dry polished that dry in 5 minutes. They last like a gel mani/pedi would. The technicians are meticulous and they don't talk to each other and on their phones. It's a nice place. Loses one star because they used to serve coffee and champagne, but since Covid I don't blame em but tiny bottled water would be nice.

I've loved this salon for a long time now - it's very clean, has excellent ventilation, and the manicures are great - but I think they've changed their booking software because I keep getting errors when I try to book, and no one has ever picked up the phone the multiple and varied times I've tried calling them. Really wish they were more responsive.

No - I didn't get service there. They said it would be six and a half hours until I could get a pedicure. Went down the street to another location I need to look up and give a shout out to. This place was pretentious and unaccommodating

My go to spot for mani pedis in DC. The place is clean (and super cute decor). And the polish and gels are non-toxic. The staff was super friendly. It's a wee bit expensive but worth it!

I followed up with the manager about my incident and concerns from last visit. She apologized and connected with staff as my experience did not meet their standards. They had me in for a pedicure and manicure on them which was far better and very relaxing. I appreciate the gesture and my nails look fantastic!
