Jolie Petite

My entire family (mom and three sisters) have been coming to his salon for several years now. We always request Paula or Moon, who do an amazing job every time. They know exactly how we like our nails done, get the shape perfectly, and are familiar with the colors we like. However, all the other ladies are great, as well.
The place is not fancy, it’s a pretty simple salon. Price-​wise, I find them to be a great deal for us, since the quality of their service is superb.
They also have a great variety of regular and gel colors, best variety I have seen around the area. In addition, they also offer many different quality brands, which only increase the choices in colors.

Rarely any wait, the staff is always nice and pleasant and the place is clean! They do a great job at either mani or pedi.

Good work by friendly staff at a reasonable price. Jolie Petite has been my go-​to nail salon for 4 years. I am one of many long-​time regular customers. I recommend it highly.

I was satisfied with my pedicure but not impressed. I went with a friend and her nail tech was much more thorough, particularly with the massage. It wasn’t a bad experience, but I didn’t feel compelled to return after my second visit.

Pros: The nail technicians do a really excellent job. My nails look better here than at most nail salons in this price range. I have to say I was definitely impressed with the end result, which was a very professional-​looking, precise, and neat mani-​pedi for a reasonable price. For this price, you can’t get better results. The selection of nail polish is pretty good as well. I would recommend Ann. Vi is also good. The customer service is great.
Cons: The ambiance isn’t exactly spa-​like and is pretty bare and basic. However, I don’t mind that because I care more about the end result, not as much about the ambiance or experience. The price is not the lowest (there are other nail salons that charge a little under or a little over $ 30 for a mani pedi).
Verdict: I would return.

DO NOT COME TO THIS NAIL SALON!
I called ahead for pricing. Acrylic fill was 25 $. Then the owner, the only male was extremely rude and disrespectful! He did my nails.
HE HURT ME, clipping my skin with the machine more than a few times, and even complaining about my shrieks of pain, saying it will scare his customers.
Then, he did a horrible job and made my nail color look distorted. See photo.
On top of all that, he over charged me at $ 35 claiming his pink was darker than most nail salons’ pinks. BULL!
Horrible salon, don’t go!

I went into the salon today and I was very disgusted!!! 3 people with pedicures and a eyebrow waxing went before me, mind you I was waiting at least 45 mins to get a routine manicure. I DO NOT recommend Jolie petite nail salon! Evidently they didn’t want my business. I will NOT patron that nail soon again. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. If I could give them 0 stars I would!

This is my second time in that salon and unfortunately my experience the first time was ok but this second time, it was horrible. When theyre busy they seem to get overwhelmed and want to rush people out i ended up with sore fingers and every single one of them was cut and they were bleeding. The lady said im gonna give u white tip and i politely said thats not what i wanted, again she was trying to get me out of the door as soon as possible. I tried to give this place a second chance but looks like i’ll have to go somewhere else. To finish this note their prices are high and service is crappy!

I won’t go back. The manager was more interested in taking care of the potential clients walking in the door and standing around waiting than he was paying attention to my hands. He was distracted and cut my cuticle so much it was bleeding. He didn’t notice the blood and then passed me on to another woman who didn’t stop. I had to point out the blood and tell her to stop so I could go wash my hands. It didn’t stop bleeding so she finished the rest of my nails and then later went back to paint that one. I walked out with a painted nail and dried blood cuticle. Gross
I had hoped for a relaxing mani and pedi with my girlfriends but felt pushed out the door and they didn’t even seat us together in the spa seats despite our appointment and arriving on time.
It was cheap but I expect decent service. Doesn’t need to be fancy but at least pay attention to me and don’t make me bleed!

The pedicure is on point. I got the deluxe so that may be why I enjoyed it so much, but, man oh man, my legs and feet feel great! Plus, the customer service is very unique. They’re all really attentive, but also really funny. This is only my first time here, but this shop has the most character out of any shop I’ve been to!

I have been here a few times and a year ago I would have given them 5 stars, but now… I know I am a guy, but that doesn’t mean rush me through. My pedicure took 18 minutes, it was so rushed. If you are too busy, just tell people. Quantity does not best quality!

My girl ANN never fails to amaze me!!! Even though we cut my nails short — as — hell, the color she picked was totally on-​point!

This place may look unassuming from the outside, but trust me it’s super cute inside && they did a great job. We were walk-​ins an hour before closing and they were pleasant, sat us immediately and I love my nails. They have fancy new pedicure set-​ups with built in massage chairs, their manicure tables have built in gel nail UV lights and the staff was attentive. Their prices were reasonable and their shop was super cute decorated for fall already! I’ll def be back again. –happy customer (=

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Thanks to one of their pedicurists, I lost my big toe’s toenail because of an infection I got from their place.
She cut my nail badly on the side and she didn’t even say a word to me or treated the cut immediately and apologized for doing a bad job. Instead, a week after, my toe was super swollen, red and hot and I had to go to the doctor.
Long story short, the podiatrist couldn’t save my toenail and now I’m in pain because of her poor executed job.
Terrible. Just terrible experience.
Trust me. If you want the best for yourself, don’t go to Jolie Petite.

Update: They just got all new chairs, and they’re amazing. Love this place for showing football on Sundays.

I really want to be a fan of this place and make it my go-​to salon, but I just can’t. Yesterday I went for gel nails and a pedicure. The lady that was doing my nails drilled my skin which caused it to bleed (PAINFUL!) and the paint job that she did on my pedicure I could have done it better myself. It would’ve been great if they had offered a discount for the skin drilling but no.
I’ve been to Jolie Petite 4x and it hasn’t blown me away. I will say that they did a great job waxing my eyebrows.
Still on the search for my go-​to nail salon…

I was debating about whether I should go to this place or not based on the appearance of the nail salon, but I am so glad I didn’t judge a book by its cover and decided to come here! The interior is a lot bigger than I thought it would be and I was quickly seated (I was a walk in) to one of the spa/​salon chairs to begin my pedicure. I also had a gel manicure done as well. Although the place isn’t «fancy», I had a relaxing and pleasant experience.
Ti was very attentive, friendly, and professional. I was super impressed at how detail-​oriented she was! I have never had a mani/​pedi where the nail technician inspected every nail to make sure everything looked perfect. She saw that my fingernail had a small nip at the edge, something I wasn’t very aware of until I felt her quickly nip it off with her tool as she was painting my nails. She literally went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my gel mani/​pedi and that I was happy with the colors I chose (after painting one nail) before proceeding. I definitely appreciated the extra time she spent, even though they were really busy for a Tuesday evening!
In short, their prices are inexpensive compared to most salons in the DC metro area and you get a really great mani/​pedi. FYI, they prefer tips in cash, but I paid for my mani/​pedi with my credit card. I’ve finally found my regular nail salon.

About a 3.5: Henry, the manager, is ridiculously sweet and informative, answers all your questions, and doesn’t even rush you off the phone! Definitely love the management, and I wish this place well — I’ve already added this to my ‘go-​to’ list for a bargain-​priced mani/​peds in the area! My nail tech was Pearl, and she was as sweet as can be. While the massage features didn’t work at the chair I was sitting at, I still enjoyed my session — great attention to detail, love the soothing massage, and love the aroma of the scrubs and such. Pedicures are $ 25 — you can’t beat that with a stick, especially in the NoVA area. Mani/​Pedi combos are only $ 35. You can add tip with the card, or preferably, with cash. Free parking can be found up long Mt. Vernon, or around the residential area — not a big deal.

I’ve been visiting New York Salon regularly for the past year — and love the service, except for the fact that they are closed on Sundays. Since I am often able to only do errands on Sunday — I’ve found this quirk fairly inconvenient and as a result decided to give Jolie Petite another try.
Moon is absolutely fantastic — she gives a great massage, and takes pride in her work. I feel like she is meticulous and makes my nails look great every time.
Price is still very reasonable— $ 38 for a mani/​pedi.
The salon itself is nice and clean — Henry put a great deal of work in to this salon and it shows.
Overall my biggest complaint is that this place is always PACKED, and as a result you can’t really get in-​and-​out in under an hour. However, I wanted to make sure my review recognized I realize that I stand corrected regarding my last review, for any interested Unilocalers.

I thought it was ok. The place needs a bit of a face lift. I went in for a pedicure, cost $ 28 even. Give the girls cash tips, that what the sign said :). The equipment she used was clean and the chair was clean. She paid a lot of attention to detail. It’s the basics of what you would be looking for. The staff was friendly and seemed to have a lot of repeat customers. I would return but I still want to look around for my go to spot.
