Regal Nail

I can’t think of a time when my nails looked worse. Basically, the nail tech didn’t want to listen to me. She thought I wanted acrylic. Clearly, I said GEL. IS THIS 1988?!? Who rocks acrylics anymore? UGH. I chalked that up to her just not hearing me. Maybe? No. I wanted white tips. Simple French manicure. No colors, no sparkles. Keep it simple. She made my nails thick and crooked and there was more acrylic all over my hand. I didn’t ask for my knuckles to be done. She was rushed and rude and her work was terrible.
And then she insisted that I asked for a pedicure too. No ma’am. She just didn’t listen.
I returned the next day after looking at these jacked up nails for 24 hours. They didn’t look any better. She told me that my nails were crooked because she was going with the curve of my nail. *eyeroll* No. That’s not how that works. She took one nail off and re-​did it and fixed all the sloppy, jagged edges. Then she tried to paint my nails with regular clear polish. I’d told her I wanted GEL (again). She said, «You told me you didn’t want gel.» Ma’am? Ma’am. Listening skill were almost as bad as her work. The price is cheap, but never ever ever go here.

Not too impressed. Good prices, cheaper than other nail salons in the area, but they are never fully staffed. Be prepared to wait 30 – 40 minutes from the time you arrive.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I went to get a basic French acrylic set. They told me to sit down. There was a lady after me who wanted the spa pedicure. They serviced her first. After about 35 – 40 minutes of being irritated she finally got to me. She did a complete rush job on my nails to the point where they were very noticeably crooked and uneven. Very unprofessional and the prices are a total scam. You have to pay extra for a cut down… The day after I noticed that the base of the nail was lifting up so it looked horrible. Stay away from this place if you want long lasting, good quality nails. And good customer service.

I came here for an eye brow wax. For $ 8 I thought it was a super great deal. As she put wax on my first eyebrow, she dripped it into my hair. I started to panic and she said «Oh no! Don’t worry, don’t worry~» She then grabbed the pieces of hair that the wax was attached to which was a chunk of my side burn hair and pulled it out of my head. Yes, this woman pulled my hair out of my head. I screamed and I was so upset. I let her finish and she did a good job but I could not believe she would yank out my hair instead of using baby oil or something to wipe out the wax. I was so upset, I just left. I will not be coming back here. EVER.

This place is a total SCAM! I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I went in today for an acrylic fill and instead had the tech insult my nails saying how I needed a completely new full set. She proceeded to take my nails completely off without asking first, saying they had lifted too much for a fill. I’ve been getting my nails done for years and recognize when nails have lifted too much. This was not the case here.
She pressured me for a new set the minute I sat down and even tried to up-​sell me on a gel set. I did not appreciate the sneaky way she tried to get me to pay more for something I did NOT need. The prices are also deceiving. They charge for everything, including cutting your nails down, which comes standard at other places. The tech I had was the woman at the first station. She also appeared to be the manager. Do yourself a favor and stay far away!

I did not enjoy my experience here. I went in to get acrylics and a pedicure. My middle finger nails are not even, one is longer than the other. I asked the lady to fix my thumb nails because one was uneven and was slanted and the other thumb nail looked like a big glob of acrylic. The lady got upset that i asked her to fix it. My nails look so fake and they are uneven. lady hurt each one of my fingers with the nail too it felt like she burned it. Lady doing the pedicure did a good job but something did not seem right. Cheap place but doubt i will be going there again.

Obviously it’s not the most glamorous place. But I could not turn down a 10 dollar manicure. The technician was nice, she was quiet and polite. She listened to what I asked for. I was happy with the outcome.

Tepid water, no massage. They were upset when I asked to remove the callouses from my feet. Unhygienic, they do not sterile the clippers after use. Very rude behavior. When the nail polish got smudged, they tried to apply another coat of polish without removing smudged polish.

I’ve recently move to Fairfax from Chicago, where my Regal Nail salon was just superior, to experience sup-​standard service. I guess the clues for me were: 1) using alcohol to wipe pre-​used tools (not even trying to serialize them) and 2) tapering over the name on the Cosmetology license. I ran as fast as I could away from that shop… now I’m in search of a great nail salon that obeys the law! I strongly advise you to STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!!! Gwen
