Far from impressive. I was staying at the hotel right across the street and was just hoping to get a pedicure. Staff was not rude or anything but far from what I would call friendly, barely saying but a few words to me. "Pick color", "how is the water" , and "oh you dont have cash (for tip)?" to be exact. Everything else was silence. The young girl did my pedicure which was mediocre. Nothing special about this pedicure or experience at all I mean little pressure with the message etc. The big issue for me was when she began to paint my toes. The polish had lines in it and was so thick and not at all smooth. I asked could she make the big toes smooth Atleast and she began to paint over the one big toe (over the lumpy polish) and then tried to dab her finger in nail polish remove and rub it on my toenail to take a little spot of polish off which only actually left a light spot in my polish. She asked if it was ok but at this point I realized she didnt see why it looked bad and was just ready for the experience to be over. At checkout I found out that tips cant be left on cards which is crazy in 2016 but whatever. So they swiped my card a second time for the tip amount (I pray they dont charge me more since there was a charge limit listed). They werent rude or anything but to be in old towne Alexandria I expected a little more but then I understand why everytime e I walked by they were never packed with customers. Just to add this on as I observed a hair stylist while I was there since it is supposed to be a full service salon. I myself have a cosmetology license in the state of virginia and have been in the business over 10 years so I was confused as to why a stylist would be blow drying her clients hair with her fingers instead of at least using a vent brush. She ended up using a round brush later to finish the client off but that looked mediocre as well. Lastly, I observed the sanitation of the nail tools while in there and I didnt see any form of sterilization. After tools were used they were tossed back into plastic bins on the nail stations and OSHA regulations require that nail equipment be sanitized after every client. This tells me alot about this salon just with that. I would not recommed. Im sure you could find someone better not too far away. Again, I was only there because it was across the street from my hotel. Salon was tidy but the nail sanitation is a big selling point for me. Hope this helps.

Ive been here a few times as I work down the street from this place. I like it because it is convenient for me to get to and get a quick pedi done. Ill go during my lunch hour and have enough time for a pedi, to eat and get back to work within the hour. The place is always clean and the employees are very nice. The pedis are decent, but if you want anything outside the norm - i.e. using a razor for the hard skin or a design on the toes- then this is not your place. I have also gotten my eyebrows done here and they do a pretty decent job, Ive never walked out of here with crooked eyebrows or half of one missing. Overall for the price and the service, I would not drive out of my way to come here, but its okay to stop in if you happen to be in the area and need something basic and quick.

Ive been going here for two plus years now and they have the best service and price for waxing, pedicures and manicures. The staff is the friendliest which is worth the drive. I would recommend them to anyone. ~ Jamie
