Nail Bonita

Nail Bonita offers the best pedi’s and I greatly appreciate their cleanliness. Every technichian Ive received has been great. If you’re looking for a tech that does cool designs Kay is great, very creative!

The salon is stylish and clean, while the technicians are extremely friendly, accommodating and take pride in their skills. I’ve been in a couple of times, but the most recent experience with Sona was fantastic. She spent time and special care on my classic manicure and made the whole experience relaxing. My nails look healthy and well kept. Plus, she actually gave a 7 minutes hand massage, included in the price.
Great salon!

I had a great, relaxing gel manicure yesterday. I really enjoyed the relaxing and pristine atmosphere, and I will certainly be back. I tried a few other places in the area and they were awful. This is by far the best nail salon in the area. It’s definitely not cheap, but none of the places I tried around this area are cheap and at least they do a great job. I would love it if they started selling packages so if you buy 5 gel manicures up front, you get one free. I’ve heard of places doing this and I think it’s a great idea, especially for pricier establishments. I imagine that most of the manicurists are great, but I had Amy and she was awesome. She took her time and she was very friendly. Thank you for an amazing manicure, and I will definitely be back soon!

Clean salon and friendly staff. I’ve been doing a terrible job up-​keeping my nails like I usually do ever since having my little one so when I decided to pamper myself, I expected a lot out of my first experience in basically a year. My nails were broken /​breaking (think unpleasant painful nail tears) and so I was skeptical of how good my nails would look.
With that said, most nail salons I’ve been to make me feel self-​conscious. Let’s be real. I don’t pamper myself often., they take a look at your hands/​feet, you’re already feeling self conscious as it is and then they proceed to talk amongst themselves in another language and you see the other staff looking at your hands/​feet. Embarrassing! Fortunately, I didn’t feel like this at this salon. No judgement. They simply just wanted to make my nails look better. «3 coats would look better, what do you think?» «Are you satisfied with how this looks so far?»
I ended up staying a bit later than their closing time only because they had other customers and was worried they would just rush through to get home but they were attentive till the end.
The only downside is that the prices are a bit steeper than most places but I feel like you’re paying for the experience and «art».

Ann was wonderful. She did a great manicure and was super sweet. This place is clean and they are very cognizant of health and sanitize everything.

Terrific salon in the heart of Falls Church city! Clean, bright, quiet with exceptionally friendly & attentive staff. Fresh tools, tub liner & file pads for each pedi client. I loved the foot & calf massage — my feet look & feel great!

The cleanest nail salon I’ve been too! They use tub liners on the pedicure tubs, they replace the file part of the foot file, and they open up the other nail tools in front of you. It’s very easy to relax here — the massage chairs are great, they always offer you coke/​diet coke/​water, they’ll provide the WiFi credentials if you ask, and the décor is super cute. Other reviews mention that the gel manicures aren’t great… I’ve never gotten a gel manicure, so I can’t speak to that. I always get a regular mani pedi and I’ve always found that my nails look great and last between 3 — 7 days on the hands and 2 weeks+ on the feet.

I got my first manly pedi (pedicure, they do a bit of extra massage, no paint) with the mrs and I’m sold. This place had great ventilation because u couldn’t smell any fumes. They also use a disposable plastic liner for foot tub. Everything seems very hygienic
The scrub, soak, and massage chair were really relaxing and they let me hang out on massage chair while mrs finished her treatment.

Cleanest and most affordable place I have found in NOVA. Always relaxing and very professional. I had Hannah today and she did a perfect paint job.

My boyfriend and I went in for two hand massages which were amazing! They were very kind but the price for gel manicure is pretty high. They charge $ 40 when I usually pay only $ 25 at the salon I get them
Done. Overall, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, relaxing environment. Only thing is prices for everything is a tad bit higher then it should be.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I absolute LOVE getting my nails done and I was SO upset with the experience. I usually am not so negative but this place is terrible.
The salon itself is absolutely stunning. I walked in and was amazed, I truly was expecting it to be one of the best experiences I could have. So much polish to choose from, free refreshments, soothing atmosphere and everyone seemed so nice.
I started with a pedicure, which was nice until I realized afterwards, it cost be almost $ 50! She didn’t explain to me that the packages she offered me were an up charge to the «spa pedicure.»
My gel manicure was an utter disaster, the polish kept bubbling and I had to ask her three time to fix different nails because of this.
When it was all said and done I walked out $ 105 poorer and feeling totally robbed. To make it worse one of my gel nails came of the same night! I went and they fixed it… only to have two more come off the next freakin day!
I just tried to go back and give them a second chance and the sign says there is a fee to REMOVE gel polish on top of the gel manicure which already costs $ 45. This place is a total rip off. I’ll never come back and I’ll be sure to tell my friends and clients to not waste their money.
UPDATE: 7÷19÷15 They now have reached out to me via Unilocal and basically called me a liar. Photo of the conversation will be posted to the photos section. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

I usually get a pedicure about once a year (yep, I am frugal and normally just do it myself since pedicures seem to cost +40 € in Frankfurt), so it is very disappointing for me if the experience sucks.
That was not the case at Nail Bonita though.
Conveniently located (read: 2 blocks from my friend B.‘s house) this salon is not only clean, but the ladies working here are doing an awesome job for a decent price.
B. and I both opted for the basic pedicure for $ 27, but the treatment we received was definitely more than «basic». Not only did we get a flawless paint job for our nails, but we also received a very pleasant calf and foot massage by 2 very friendly ladies (- Hanna took care of me).
Honestly, I don’t have anything to criticise here, so this was an easy 5-​star review! :)

Let me just start by saying this salon is absolutely beautiful — everything is clean, new, and top notch. They have an overwhelming amount of colors to choose from, and a Gel Manicure happy hour where its $ 35 instead of $ 45. The atmosphere is very quiet and calming inside.
I almost never get my nails done, but decided to treat myself to a pedicure and gel manicure. The pedicure came out okay… polishing was done to the standard that I could’ve done at home, and for the $ 32 cost no extras were added like paraffin wax, ect. For the salon being almost completely empty (myself and 2 other customers), she seemed to be in a hurry. I did like that there were disposable liners in the pedicure chair basins.
The Gel Mani was a complete fail. When she applied the polish, it was all bubbly and she tried to play it off like it looked fine. I asked her to redo it but it came out exactly the same the second time around. Running short on time, I asked her to just remove the polish which led to her scraping it and filing it off the top of my nails — I wasn’t thrilled, as I have thin nails to begin with. No apology offered, but she only charged me for the pedicure.
Will not be returning. The high prices they charge are reflective only of the fancy new everything in the salon, and not on the actual quality of services.

My technicians name was Jina (or something similar to that, I have horrible memory). She was so sweet! I noticed a lot of places don’t have Shellac anymore, so I was happy to see the wide variety they have here. She took her time even though I came in 30 minutes before they closed and my nails came out great.
The salon itself is quite lovely. Very clean also. Will definitely be going back!

I don’t get pedicures or manicures often because I don’t like the sanitation standards at most nail salons; this place is a rare gem! Every set of tools is clean in an autoclave and each customer gets a tub liner which is disposed of after each use. The color selection is very broad, mostly OPI and Essie. I highly recommend this place for those scared of a traditional nail salon!

This is the best and most complete salon I’ve ever visited. This is the salon that others want to be and that others purport to be – clean, calming, and friendly with great technicians.
This is the only salon in the area I know of that has one-​use liners for their pedicure tubs. The old chairs won’t accomodate the new tub liners, and this is a new place.
Dr. Oz suggested on his March 2^nd show that women find salons that offer one-​use, disposable tub liners because of the high incidence of exposure to bacteria during services. That prompted me to write this review I’ve been meaning to write. That alone is reason enough to try them.
They have a great sanitary protocol. They use disposable files and have a sanitizing machine (autoclave?) for metal utensils. While on vacation in another state, I had been to a shop with disposable tub liners and googled them here and found Bonita. I decided that was a reason to find them to do my pedicures even if other services were not up to par. However, they did a beautiful job on my manicure, my pedicure, my facial waxing, and my chair massage.
I found a new and wonderful place where I can get my nails done without worry and they do a great job. Hannah is my primary technician, but I have also had services from Suzy and everything was fine. Everyone is very cordial. There’s not a lot of chatter and no loud TVs. They serve warm tea and the massage pedicure chairs are great. They seems to realize that women want a little slice of peace and quiet and they give it to you.
The atmosphere in this salon is like none other, even those in top hotels and spas I’ve visited. The music is soothing and the technicians are professional and courteous. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. It is a very calming environment. The prices may be a little higher than you’re accustomed to in neighborhood shops, but it is well worth it for the cleanliness alone. The treat is that you not only get more safe procedures, you get great looking nails and a relaxing atmosphere.
Free Parking in a garage attached to the shopping. You can’t see the garage, but it’s there. Get good directions if you’re not familiar with the area.

I am surprised at the good reviews. I had 2 liquid sculpture gel manicures here, one by Lora and one by Connie. The gel was lifting after 1 week and somehow the nail techs got polish underneath the gel and sealed it in. The 2^nd time I went, the nails were all lot and filed unevenly. It was a joke. For 65? Better take a course on how to use this product ladies. What a beautiful salon, worst service ever.

I have been looking for nice nail salon that didn’t have the nail chop shop feel to it, so I got on Unilocal and I found Nail Bonita and boy oh boy am I happy. This will officially be my new nail place to go to. They are fairly new so it’s not super busy but once the word is out I know this place will get packed. There’s nothing like it in the Falls Church/​Fairfax area. It’s really posh and nicely decorated with a contemporary look.
As soon as I walked in I was graciously greeted by a woman at the front who explained the services and actually explained the steps they offer in those specific services. I chose from a large and lovely selection of nail colors. They have my favorite line — Essie, OPI, and various others.
My pedicure and manicure was done by Mia who was lovely and truly took care of me as I kept dropping everything like a clutz. I’m really impressed that the nail technicians here — for one — speak English the entire time (which to be honest I don’t really care if they speak another language but this shows their effort in professionalism) and second they have their nail licenses displayed next to their manicure stations as well as they all have their nails done and wear smocks. They seriously take their profession to the next level. I’m very impressed.
The pedicure chairs are comfortable and new — the actually put liners in the tub which is awesome! Very sanitary. To my surprise when she was exfoliating my feet she pulled out some sort of bolster to keep my foot elevated which I’ve never used before. I decided to go with gel (for my mani) — they use Shellac for this service. I’ve never used Shellac I usually use Gelish and I didn’t know how I felt about it after the service was done. Three of my fingers had a dullness to them when usually after gel it has a shine. The next day it was completely fine but it’s something to think about if you have a specific gel brand you’re used to. The only thing I wasn’t super satisfied with was the application of my toenail polish. I don’t know if it’s because of the color that I chose or if it was application. I knocked off one start b/​c of that — I’ll be back regardless to give them another chance. I will say they are pricey, but their customer service is very good! I am very satisfied besides those two things I mentioned.

This salon is brand new and beautiful! The staff is so nice, offering an array of services and even a «happy hour» discount price special on gel manicures. Free parking in garage right next to shop.
I went by yesterday for a polish change and a pedicure. I was offered a drink and free wifi before enjoying my relaxation time. The massage chairs are great and they have taken extra steps to make sure everything is super clean (individual liners in tubs ect)
My nails came out out great and I will be making Bonita Nails my permanent nail salon!

So far… Best nail salon experience ever! I had been waiting for this salon to open as I saw the coming soon sign for a while. When I saw that they opened this past week I had to come try them out.
First impression, the shop doesn’t have its awning up yet on top, but inside… the design is very clean, modern, simple and airy. They have so many awesome nail colors to choose from, and for the most part all I saw were OPI, Essie, and CND. All brands I prefer. I immediately felt like I could trust them in terms of quality and aesthetics. The price seems pretty typical for the area ($ 17 for manicure, $ 45 for gel), but they’re currently having a 20% off promotion! And they gave me a free gift too!
I had the spa pedicure and a regular manicure and let me tell you, I’m pretty particular about getting my nails done. I’ll usually do my own nails because many times I feel like the experience doesn’t amount to the cost. But this was different. My technician Lora paid attention to every little detail and made sure that each nail was covered perfectly. From what I can tell, they use many disposable items in terms of files and such and even have a «sterilizing station» for the tools that are not disposable. Very different from the older salons I’ve visited in the area where things look a bit more questionable. They even had a new plastic liner that they put in the foot spa area for my pedicure.
Most importantly, I loved how everything turned out (see pictures)! Nail Bonita, welcome to Falls Church! I’ll definitely be back.
