Q:
Is this place behind the building of "the block"?
A:
Exactly what others have responded. Its not behind The Block - its on the same side - if you are looking directly at The Block, just head right like you are heading to the Thrift Store and Supermarket and its right between. Great place!

I come here every month for my mani/pedi and every time, the service has been fantastic. I started coming here because of Nancy but all of the techs are fantastic and sweet. My daughter also joins me at times and they've been so gentle and attentive with her (she's 8). I also had a mani/pedi party here for my niece's 13th birthday party and it was great!
Nancy takes special care of my toes and fingers- often restoring them back to normal as she knows I tend to have bouts of anxiety and go to town with my nails. Nancy is truly the best and I'm loyal to her for a reason!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 15, 2024
Went on a Sunday afternoon. Called. No appt needed. Male nail technician did my French gel manicure. I am not a profession nail tech... price point was good $35 plus extra $5 for French. So total with tip $48. If I feel I need it redone by next day I spent way too much to have them done. While doing my nails I pointed out few times about some of the gray color that didn't come off from previous nail polish. There's a line on the tip of my white French that's gray or different color as seen in pic. (And yes it bothers me)!! Maybe language barrier..... 4 nails on left hand and 1-2 on right nails needs to be redone!! If you're like me and a bit ocd and pay attention to details... prob not the right guy/place for you. There are bubbles, lint, bumpy nails, corner/ends that are cracked/lifted. Middle finger where he had to add a tip I'm pretty sure the tips supposed to be glued down to my real nail enough that particles aren't getting stuck inbetween within the first 24 hours or at all. From afar it looks decent and I like the how he shapped most the nails. Reason for 2 stars...
I saw 2 ppl getting pedicures seemed nice and long. I would consider maybe going for a pedi spa...
One of the pedicure customers complains about color/nail design and was also saying to wipe it off she would just pay for the pedicure only...
Do ppl usually go/call back and ask them to fix it?Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Micah Mar A.Washington, DC011May 21, 2024
I get hybrid gel nails instead of regular acrylic or dip. It lasts so much longer, feels sturdy and have never broken a nail. Highly recommend!

This is my go to nail spot in the DMV area. Every single person has been so meticulous with my nails, and I've never walked away disappointed.
I recently got a gel full set done, and it is the best full set I've ever had. My nails normally start lifting after a week with powder or acrylic, but these babies have stayed on and are strong still after two weeks (see photo).
I'm going to get the same set again next time I go!
I'd also like to mention that I've gotten my nails done by almost every employee, and everyone has been so great. My favorite has to be Na though. She's fun and does a super great job every time!!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 2Apr 29, 2022Previous reviewThis is my go to nail spot in Annandale! Na always does a really great job with my nails. She's super meticulous and the result is always exactly like the picture.
I've also had my nails done by others at this salon, and I have to say that everyone does a really careful and great job. Highly recommend! - Len P.Canyon Country, CA2113Aug 1, 2023
ToBe Nails is now my go-to place for both manicures and pedicures. I normally don't get manicures because I have short nail beds and previous experiences didn't leave me with a great impression to keep at it. I decided to give it a try, and let me tell you, Nancy brought my nails back to life. Gel tap is the new "A-game" when it comes to getting gel. I've seen her for the past 3-4 months and my nails have survived, lasted longer than expected, never broke a nail, and even my sister still thinks to this day I have fake nails on. Nancy knows exactly how to make your nails look natural and not that "cakey/thicky" looking kind of manicure. For those looking for longer lasting manicures, visit ToBe Nails and let Nancy do her "thang!"

*I would like to say Moon gets a 4 star in my book, but other things caused this experience a 1 star overall.*

Is it to be or not to be? Well this is certainly the question.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wanted try them out. I have visited this store several months earlier, but wasn't able to make an appointment until today.
To be it is.
The store was pretty busy when I arrived, but a lady in a red shirt just happened to be available. The lady's name is Moon. Moon reminded me of some use to see at Mavana Nails.
Moon did a fantastic job, but I must confess I wasn't sure of her abilities for the first half of the session. I shit up and let her work her magic and everything came out fine. Yes, it is to be on Moon doing my nail. Yes, it is to be on Moon massaging my feet. Moon did a wonderful job removing the dead skin off my diabetic dry feet.
I love how Moon removed the dead skin between my fingers nails that were causing me issues. If I had ripped out the dead skin, it would have cause my fingers to bleed. I don't need that.
I would love to say I would be coming back hers; however, it is not to be.
NOT TO BE:
There is a lady I saw in a green shirt washing some tools
Moon used. She used the scrub brush to possibly clean the foot Spa. Definitely used hand soap to scrub the foot tools and put the back in a drawer. These tools were not sanitized the proper way when makes me question the cleanliness of other tools that were used on me.
These thoughts are running through my head as I write this review out.
*The magic Moon did on me is the only reason reason this salon receives a 1 star review. Ms. Tuyet aka Manager, Ms. Moon, does deserve a a 5 star rating herself. She has earned this from me. *
The store looks great, feels great and is playing Christmas music 24 7. Yet none of that matters now. I was going to do full leg waxing, but was informed this isn't an option for guys. Another not to be moment.
The is a slim chance of me coming back here. Just keep in mind that others will be watching how your employees tools get cleaned.
Failure to do so will result in unpleasant consequences.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1Business owner information

Thank you for your review. One star review is quite unfair for the technician. I’m don’t believe it is deserving since Moon provided good service. Thank you for patronage.

I've been twice too this salon and I really like it! I've gotten my nails done both times by Nancy, who is very professional and does a great job, taking her time/ not rushing. I usually get gel or dip but wanted something different - she suggested getting TAP gel as a healthier alternative to acrylic. They turned out beautifully and have held up well for ~4weeks (see 3rd photo). Otherwise, the salon is quiet and they have a good selection of colors, and I like that they offered me tea with my pedicure. I will definitely return!

ZERO STARS IN ACTUALITY.
They talk sh1t about their customers in their language !!!!!!!!!!! They did not know that I'm Vietnamese and could understand every single word . IVE NEVER FELT THIS DISRESPECTED at a nail establishment . Take your hard earned cash to somewhere else where the nail technicians DON'T engage in disgusting , "mean girls"-type behavior making fun of someone's appearance . WILL NEVER GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS AGAINHelpful 11Thanks 4Love this 0Oh no 3 - Jessica G.Oceanside, CA12018Sep 19, 2023
I really enjoyed my experience here! It was very quiet and relaxing the whole time. I didn't get the name of the woman who did my pedicure but she was so great! Actually cleaned up my cuticles and made my toes look really good. Also loved that she made sure the color was okay. Definitely will come back!

This is my new go-to nail salon in the area! I've been here a few times and the service is always amazing. The technicians are highly professional and really take the time to take care of your needs. If you're into nail art, Na is the person to go to. She is really sweet and does really great work. The prices are really good for what you get. Definitely recommend this place and I'll be returning in the future.
