Family Salon Hair & Nails

I love this place! All the people who come in and out are so friendly and sweet and it’s so easy to spark a conversation with anyone! They do an awesome job and really try their best. Tram is also very lovely and remembered my mother, sister and maybe a year later! So awesome would recommend if you seek quality

The difference between a West Coast vs. East Coast Pedicure/​Manicure:
WESTSIDE NAIL SALON:
Nail Tech: Hey, how are you? Are you going with the Essie Borrowed and Blue polish with the rainbows and the unicorns drawn on this time?
Me: Oh hey, this time we have to keep it professional with the nail art I have a job interview.
Nail Tech: So basically should I draw on a different Disney Princess on each nail?
Me: Yes, but could you repeat Princess Jasmine on the pinky and big toe?
Nail Tech: No problem, it’s gonna be $ 20.
EAST COAST NAIL SALON:
Nail Tech: Hi. PICK COLOR.
Me: I was wondering if you do nail art? I wanted a flowe…
Nail Tech: No, PICK COLOR
Me: How about an accent nail?
Nail Tech: No, YOU GONNA PICK COLOR?
Me: Glitter top coat?
Nail Tech: Gonna go with no.
Me: Do you have any type of nail art or design?
Nail Tech: I paint all your nails the same color for $ 40, or for $ 10 more I paint an exotic «French Manicure».
I am used to pretty high quality nail art and I thought I was the only one who felt this way about the area until I read this article which confirmed my East vs West Coast debate:
.
I don’t know why but the suburbs of Maryland is a really hard place to find nail art. I definitely feel like if I ask around here, I get the I don’t want to be bothered with complicated nail design reply. If I’m paying for a pedicure, I want it to look like an exhibit at MoMA. If I wanted to all my toes to be the same boring color, then I’d just rather sit at home on the couch, bend into uncomfortable positions while drinking beer and watching football and do them myself.
Thanks to Rae and her Instagram skills, I was referred to this place. I booked an appointment the minute I heard about it, cause my toes were looking like they could climb trees. I walked in, picked a color, showed the technician the Pinterest board I had going on, and BOOM, one hour and a half later I had hibiscus flowers on my toes and fingernails.
While I didn’t book an appointment with Tram, the owner, I did get to see her do designs on other people’s toes and nails. It was insane the quality of work she did given the amount of time. While my technician was awesome, I am booking her next time for more complicated art. Don’t believe me? Check out her art here:
and here:
. Most of these designs are on acrylic nails but nail are can be done on natural nails as well.
Now, while I recommend this place for nail art and the the fact that it is inexpensive ($ 32 for a mani/​pedi or $ 22 for a pedi), there are few things lacking in my opinion:
–Nail color collection (only a few OPI and Essie brand products) is weak, more brands like Savina were available. They also have a lot of bright colors (given the nail art) and very few darker colors (like the Gothy Lincoln Park after Dark), so bring your own if needed.
–This place is not fancy (which I don’t mind), but I wonder about the cleanliness. I just don’t think this place is as clean as it could be. First, when you walk in you are overwhelmed by the vapors. I actually didn’t see my technician take the kit out of the autoclave, which I am sure they did, but it made me so paranoid that I actually used an antibacterial wipe on my feet when I got back in the car, just in case. I would feel a lot better if the technicians had their state licenses displayed to show some cred. I’m not saying I’m gonna catch necrotizing fascitis from here, but just in case I am keeping tetracycline handy, and next time I am watching their procedures like a hawk.
So if you are looking for good nail art, especially with Tram, come here, but I would not come here with fancy salon expectations.

Went there 3 times total. 4 if you count the day I returned back the next day to get my nails cleaned up.
First I will say Tram does a phenomenal job on designs… AWESOME job!!!
However, the quality of the nails itself is not good. My first visit I had and old set and wanted them replaced. Tram was very rough with the removal of my old tips. No soaking just tried to cut and pry them off! Several times I told her it hurt and she seemed not to care… guess because it wasn’t her fingers. I guess I forgot about the pain because my nails looked great when I left. … But I was still concerned that my real nails underneath had been traumatized…
2^nd visit had a 4:00 appointment when I arrive Tram tells me just a few minutes an hour and 10 minutes later I finally get my turn. I express my disappointment of how late she was, as I had somewhere to be and now I’m LATE! So she rushed through my nails in 15 minutes and sent me off… Mind you my natural nails where loose and lifting. I pointed this out but guess she had no time to correct this…
I returned the next day to have her fix her rushed job and she did graciously and charged me $ 10!
3^rd visit., again my real nails where not connected to the acrylic and lifting. I had to point out every nail that had a problem and asked for them to be shorter. Somehow shorter translated to thicker! I was so pissed off at this point I didn’t even want nail polish on them! My nails looked like a new nail student had worked on them. I am still trying to buff them down to look somewhat realistic. Oh and forgot the additional $ 10 she charged me For the nails that lifted! I have been getting my nails done for 20 years and I recognize poor products and service when I receive it. Not going back no matter how nice the design work is. The designs the only reason they got 2 stars

good nails! ask for TRAM!

This salon is no longer what it use to be since Sara has left. Tram has hired two new very inexperienced people. I went to this salon to get a full set and color change on my toes. Tram did my full set very fast as she normally does which is a good thing. However she asked one of her new workers to do the polish. I chose gel polish as I like that it lasts longer. I had to repeatedly tell the girl to do an extra coat. The job look very sloppy and uneven. A couple days later its chipping. I go back to the salon tram fixes it however I won’t be going back here.

Showed up for a five pm appointment with a friend. Over 15 minutes later no one had gotten me started. I looked down at the tub and it had dirt and other peoples hair it it. When I complained to the owner (tram) and said I didn’t want a pedicure and would just wait for my friend to finish. She first reached in and scooped a floating hair out with her bare hands and said they would re-​run the water. I repeated what I said and told her I would just sit there and wait for my fiend to finish. The owner then had the the women who was supposed to do my pedicure (jessica) come over to clean the bowl. She pushed my legs out of the way (grabbing my skirt and rearranging it in the process) and proceeded to wipe the tub out.
Rude, bad polish selection and unhygienic. Don’t ever come here, this is the most disgusting salon I have ever entered.

Had gel by Sarah. She did a good job, however the color on one of the finger came off on the 7^th day… What really concerns me is the cleanliness of that place. Stations are extremely DIRTY. They don’t clean them between clients at all. There is dust, nail fragments etc all over the place. Don’t even cover station with a paper-​towel. Towels to dry you hands are dirty grey, though originally they were white. Don’t know if I’ll be back for another gel, but definitely, will NEVER do a pedi there.

I came here with a friend after finding his place on Unilocal.Although the staff is super sweet, I will not be returning due to the poor quality of work done.
I came here for a pedi and gel mani with a friend. The pedi was done by a new tech and it was a painful experience. First, I got scorched with hot water. Then as she was clipping my nails and removing the cuticles she got too close to the flesh and had a raw, uneven looking pedi later on.
The gel mani was a much better experience done by someone who seemed to have more experience. However, within one week of my mani, it started peeling and all my nails were ruined by the end of the day. My friend and I both had the same experience.
Not worth it! Try another salon!

I used to go to Super Nail (s) in Wheaton for Tram but she now owns this salon and i love it. prices are affordable and Tram does an amazing job at designs and full sets!
i don’t have acrylic on my nails anymore so i go to Sara for my gel manicures and she does an amazing job! the salon isnt your top luxury salon but it’s worth coming to and i am very very picky with everything i have done.
im one of those customers that will not leave until it’s the way i like it. they also do hair but i have not gotten any services with that.
for designs (3D included) and full sets ask for tram. i like Sara for gel manicures.
see other reviews for other salons, resturants, etc! X’O

«Meh. I’ve experienced better.» Two stars fits this place very well.
I waited a while for my pedicure with my feet soaking but I didn’t mind that one bit since I love massage chairs. :)
However, it didn’t seem like there were enough people working there and it didn’t give off a professional vibe. My manicurist seemed to be under the weather and kept blowing her nose in the middle of my pedicure. I’m certainly no germaphobe or squeamish but it left a really bad taste in my mouth… She wore gloves but I just kept looking at the used tissue in her pocket and then at her hands touching my feet and kept thinking «eww». Hardly a relaxing time.
So while the pedicure was ok, the service was ok, and the price was ok, there are so many other places in Rockville where I can get an amazing pedicure and a much better experience for about the same price ($ 22 minus tip). I won’t go back.

I love my French tip manicure done by Sara! She was so nice and did a perfect job on my nails. I got the manicure over a week ago and they still look okay.

Great Mani/​pedi!!. Prices have increased recently, but still fair. Loud customers with small children can be problem, especially on weekends. Still great services, but not relaxing (sorry, but its true). Owner should really have a «no kids» policy unless they are getting services.

My friend recommend me to come here. I usually go to another nail salon which is pretty pricey but very nice atmosphere to it.
What I like about this place was the crazy design I saw they even do 3d nail art!!! I had and appointment and came is to see tram place was empty due to the snow. It was a little clutter had a Salon and nail spa part to it. The atmosphere could look more cleaner. The plus they let my son sit down with my husband and wait in the other salon children aren’t able to be in the salon.
I got a gel manicure and pedicure, by Tram she seem very nice, and friendly she did my nail I like them. But the color wasn’t the one I really want it and she did a 3d art which was cute but had to much glitter which it was to much. Came home wasn’t happy about it. I spend money wasn’t as satisfy with them. And I got them for my baby shower event this weekend. Hopefully I’ll give them a call and they can change it to the right color and I can be more satisfy with them. The pedicure was ok, Just like any regular one.
My husband had done his pedicure and he had told me she hurt his foot. He actually got an infection she had cut him. he wasn’t happy for that he didn’t enjoy the experience as much, and won’t be coming back here again. I didn’t know until we got home he mention to me she cut his foot and was bleeding and I had gotten a pedicure after him she didn’t pull out Clorox or anything. That’s not hygienic at all. If I were you I wouldn’t do pedicure here at all!!!
I would come again for the nail art but honestly maybe not so disappointed with this place

Tram is the best! You can bring her any design and she will do it, she is great at free hand also. She is very personable and talks to you the whole time. I get gel polish manicures and she is awesome. Sarah is great also! They are so friendly and the BEST at nail design.

I was looking for an affordable and quality local place to get my hair cut and colored. Roxy is just that! Great quality and VERY affordable. She didn’t have the right color for me but she is going to go out tonight and get it and I’ll be back on Monday! I will certainly be coming to Roxy from now on.

I came to do my nails here because they always do a great job, I realized they have a salon, I got a haircut and a blowout. the results were amazing! Roxy did a great job! she took her time but I was so happy that i wanted to hug her… and the prices are very affordable.
I’m definitely coming back here.

Awesome nail work as ways came here after finding out this was hi Super nail’s second location.

Thai is now doing jewelry repair (no watch batteries last I asked). A week ago I took a ring with a missing accent diamond and a broken back in for repair and got it back today. It looks brand new. I can’t tell which diamond was replaced and no sign of where the back was repaired. And the price was so reasonable. So for hair, nails and now jewelry repair I’m a fan.

1,776 points for being open on July 4^th! I let down my post-​run sweaty tresses for a shampoo + cut + blow dry. Nanh (sp?) was so sweet and personable, and beastly at chopping up layers! I have never had anyone ask me about how I would want my layers done, but I put all trust in her, and she cut some that framed my face. I feel about 3 pounds lighter, yet she still kept the length!

They could be charging way more! I paid $ 32 for a mani/​pedi, not including tip.
The pedicure was excellent — my feet were baby smooth when I left. It included a generous scrub, an exfoliating rub of some kind, and a short massage. The pedicure stations also have massage chairs.
The manicure was less amazing, but still very good. The manicurist took her time and did a good job.
If you are expecting a gorgeous, high-​end salon however, this is not it. Everything is clean, but the space and décor is very plain.
