Flew all the way from Tokyo and these ladies took good care of me as soon as I got off the plane!Even catered to my schedule and the service was lovely! Warm environment, warm welcome and best of all, I got exactly what I wanted. The nails are good quality for good prices! My nails are still intact after 3-4 weeks! I wouldn’t dare let anyone else try to fill in if it’s not in the works of Ms. Ivy🤍

Emmy was so friendly, clean, and professional. I loved the designs she did, these were all her own creations. I will definitely be back to see her very soon! I recommend Royal Nails for all your nail care needs. Everyone is friendly and very skilled

Helen is my go to! She’s amazing! She’s literally always patient and always pays attention to detail!Salon is very clean and staff is very friendly!

The ladies at Royal Nails are superb! They are very attentive take their time and perfect the work.The new manager Vivian is friendly and personable and does AMAZING work! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the works!

Cut two of my fingers and made it bleed. Unprofessional the two workers were arguing the whole time I was there. Didn’t even offer a discount when they cut my fingers. Would not go back again or recommend. Also after trying to stop the bleeding they proceeded to put GLUE on it, which I thought was strange snd didn’t ask me if that was ok.

The techs I had aren’t fully skilled and took forever to finish a mani and pedi. Also to my surprise, they charged me for the service I received months later instead of the day of. I’m disputing this charge with my bank however this is totally unprofessional!! Never again ...

I went in for a dip manicure. While the staff was overly nice, I believe it was just to make me uncomfortable about saying something about the quality of the manicure. I had to file them to the shape that I wanted after I got home even though i kept explaining what I wanted. More disappointing is that they did not take the time to apply enough coats to get the right color. I chose a pale pink but i can see through it to my actual nail and the plastic tip they added for length. They kept saying how pretty my nails were but Im going to have to paint over and hope for the best.

Royal Nails is a place were I always do my nails. They have good service, clean and good customer service. I will recommend this place for everyone. You should come and check it out.

I phoned to confirm they did chrome mirror polish which the assured me they did. My technician initially seemed to know what she was doing. Lulled into a false sense of security I settled in...not long after I realized that she had probably never done a simple manicure let alone a chrome mirror. This tech cut my cuticles so poorly that blood was drawn. Just couldnt take it anymore and left mid manicure. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE!! AWFUL.

Good customer service a lot of beautiful nails polish that other shops don’t have and so five nice lady’s that’s work there

Awful and unprofessional experience! The salon was empty! Only one client doing her nails, and 2 technicians there. I picked the color for my pedicure while the technician was on her phone. She turned the water on and went back to her phone. I waited 5 min with my feet in the water (while she was still checking her phone) and then she grabbed the phone and keys and told me “I’ll be right back”. I had to leave the place since I had somewhere else to be and she told me over the phone that my appointment would only take 30 min.Definitely not coming back to this salon!

I called Thuy,’s Nail School locates @ 50 S. Pickett Street, Alexandria twice before I made an appointment for Wednesday, September 25th. Once you arrive there, it is Royal Nail Salon. At the time of my calls, I inquired about the price for having dipping powder. It was communicated to me that it would be $25 and $5 for tips to be put on. I was informed that this was the price for a student to complete my nails.On my second call, I decided to make an appointment.Once I arrived, I was greeted by a female who I took to be the owner. I informed her that I had a 3:00 o’clock for the dipping powder. She stated she remembered me calling. I said I want dipping powder with tips. She looked @ my nails and said$30 + $5 for tips. I was surprised by this since I was quoted a different price @ the time I made the appointment.Once seated (I am accustomed to be given the nail ring with all the colors. This did not happen.) in front of two individuals (the instructor and student). The instructor began to cut my natural nails completely off. I said no to her. She insisted that it was better for the tips to be secure. Bear in mind, I have been doing the dipping powder for a year & a half and NO ONE has ever completely cut my nails off. At this point, I was at her mercy. The student just sat there.The instructor said to me “did you pick out a color?” I said no while finding her question odd since she never gave me the color wheel and both my hands were being utilized by her and the student - clipping my nails off.As the instructor was getting closer to starting the dipping powder process, she started being rude to me saying did you pick out your color in a very nasty manner. I replied no because you did not give me the opportunity to. She said in a very harsh tone “you have been here for 30 minutes and you need to hurry up because the student has to leave. I replied“ you are very rude and you should have not made the appointment if you do not have the appropriate time to complete my nails and I will not be coming back here.”The instructor continued to do my nails in a rush manner. The student departed @ 4. At that time, another female came out and confronted the instructor about why she did not let her do my nails? Well, a full blown argument ensued. The instructor kept trying to tell her that I called a couple of days ago and asked for the student to do my nails and even said to me that didn’t you call a couple of days ago and ask for the student to do your nails? They started conversing in their native language in raised voices @ each other. I had never witnessed anything like this before in a place of business. Very unprofessional. The individual was very mad. She took off her white jacket that they wear and retrieved her pocketbook and walked out.An individual walked in @ about 4:20 for her 4:30 appointment and after waiting for a period of time, she went outs and placed a call. She came back in and stated that she found someone else to do her nails. She departed @ 4:50 pm.My nails look like an amateur did then when in actuality the instructor did them. The nail color is lighter where the tips are and where the tips are glued on p, it is not a smooth effect.The place did not look like a school @ all. There was only one student. It was a nail salon. I see by the reviews this is not the first incident. I will be reporting this to DPOR.DO NOT UTILIZE THIS BUSINESS - ROYAL NAIL SALON - 50 S. Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA

The woman who did my pedicure was super nice and was working all by herself which Im sure is stressful. But I would definitely describe it more as getting your toenails painted than getting a pedicure. After my heels were drier than before the pedi because all she did was scrub them down with soap which as most people know, strips moisture if you dont moisturize it after. The other woman working there, Im not sure what her job was, I waited for 20 minutes soaking in water (which also will obviously dry your feet out) while the pedicurist finished the client she was working on, while the other woman watched a soap opera with the volume all the way up. She was also super rude to me when we interacted. I dont see myself coming back.

My current manicure has lasted for three weeks. Very nice staff who make you feel at home and comfortable.

I didnt like it bc person cut my finger she was on the phone

Very friendly staff, accommodating, clean, and reasonably priced! I used to go all the time, but moved to Arlington. I still try yo make it over there when i know Ill be in the area, but wish I lived closer to the location so I could go there all the time.

No good I left my ugly nails I do not recommend😡

Traumatic experience, the technician was not well trained. The manager or owner was so cold and uncaring. She witnessed me in distress after mistake by her nail technician and she said nothing. Just left the shop. Very very horrific experience.

The service was great! The salon was very clean!! I fell asleep while getting my pedicure ☺

I have come to this salon for the past two years and my visit on Friday will be my last. It was a busy Friday afternoon and I like most dont mind waiting my turn. They rushed my pedicure so they could take two people who wanted one together. Other people they took 45 plus minutes on and my pedicure lasted 15 minutes without a hot towel. They also over did the cuticle areas on my nails and they have remained sore this whole weekend. Very disappointed.

Lazy lady

Great service for 15 years.

I had a facial done here and it was great! Very relaxing!

Ive been going here for 4 yrs now! Lovely staff and they always do great work

They are cheating. Dont pay cash they dont give you change as well as recipt

Betty fixed an issue with my nails! Thank you for making my nails look good!

I do not recommend this nail place for anyone ... very disrespectful ! Every customer should have the same right and respect regardless ...

Good little neighborhood spot!

Turn down business

Not recommended, customer service needs improvement..

Amazing! Total gem!
