I’ve gone to a couple nail salons in Ballston. This one has the best hours. Manicure experiences are better than my pedicure experiences based on quality. it is my experience that depends on the nail artist. Karen is my favorite nail tech and does amazing mani/ pedis.

I don’t know the lady name but she stressed me out so much today.Firstly, she was doing everything but not doing my nails, answering to her phone, walking and coming back, she put hand cream on first then asked me wash my hands, when I told her can we take off the color because it was not accurate at all, she was mad.I think this place could give better quality.Picture of my one painted nail tht she left like this lol.There are many other places in Ballston area, ladies I advice to check other places.

I’ve been here twice and have had consistent, good service from this salon. Quick and quality acrylic nails for a reasonable price, definitely recommend!

My pedi was excellent. Someone else did my mani. It’s not the best I’ve had but it isn’t the worst either. I’ve had a mani by Linda a few times in the past and she does an excellent job, but she wasn’t here today. The space is nice and relaxing. Pricing is on the higher end.

I love this place. It is clean, nice space and the staff is professional. My favorite nail tech is Karen. She pays attention to detail and she takes her time to make it a great experience each time I come. I can show her ANY nail design from the internet and she nails it each time ! Not sure why it wont let me post a pic but check this place out... you WONT be disappointed !

Made a 6:30 appointment, got there and was seated only to wait over an hour to get my nails done. I paid for my friend and I, who got a basic mani-pedi with clear polish. I got a gel manicure and normal pedi. The total was $135 for the both of us. I’m appalled at the cost for the horrible service we received. I would not recommend

I just wanted to say how wonderful the people are that work here. The receptionist is very friendly and kind as well as all the nail techs. They do such an excellent job my regular manicure lasted 10 days without chipping.My daughter left her iPad in the store today and she didn’t tell me until 10:30 pm today I called and emailed the store. One of the guys Vu, who works there was so sweet he called me right away and drove to the store at 11 pm at night to check for it for me so I could sleep with out wondering where it is. He also lives 30 minutes away. What a wonderful thing to do for somebody. He found it and actually delivered it to me tonight. Thank you for great service and going above and beyond as a human. Not enough people do anymore.

Kelly is amazing, I am a 6 yr customer from her old shop and followed her 25 minutes out of the way for service. When I arrived to the new shop everyone greeted me and very welcoming. The shop is very clean and well organized. Nothing feels out of place. The massage and waxing rooms were very clean and Kelly does an amazing job with waxing for first timers or repeat customers. The customers were very pleasant as well. The nail color selections offer so much variety. There is wifi, so if you work remote you can continue your day as the internet is really good and strong here. Lastly, the cleanliness is really well managed. I will say the shopping center parking lot is a bit tricky and you can only park level 4 and up, but its cheap and easy after, just remember to take the elevators to the shopping and street entrance. When you get off the elevator turn left then another left towards tmobile. Its across from curious toys and Tmobile. I will be back and I am sure you may see me one day there 😏😁.

They lied and said they can do a design but couldn’t. Rushed my nails , came out very ugly and I’m not happy with the work I got. You better off going to the hood. I got short nails but changed me 10$ for long.

I love the cleanliness, friendliness and spaciousness of the establishment. I have been going to Karin for years for a variety of services to include waxing, manicures and pedicures and I am never disappointed. My nails continue to be healthy and strong due to her expertise.

The girls her are so efficient and pay attention to details I see Karen she is an awesome nail tech

I’ve had nothing but the best experience with Lana and the team at Allure Nails In Ballston Mall every time that I come, I feel like I have been truly at a day spa in a calm and relaxing atmosphere which is clean and I’ve never been kept waiting. The quality of their work is impeccable.

Me and my husband went to this place for the first time the service was not good and they did not give the same service for all customers. After I came home my nail color was coming apart already I am definitely going back to fix it . When I was there I heard another customer complain for the same issue too .omg don’t go there. There are many good places around the area. I know this place looks very nice and neat but it has poor service and after you paid your money then after 3 hrs it’s destroyed 🤷‍♀️I am very mad 😡

Excellent gel stiletto manicure. Lasting quality. No complaints.

I strongly recommend everyone to use Allure Nail Spa in Ballston Quarter, the service is magnificent trust me you will be pleased, because I am!

Kimmy is WONDERFUL! The best pedicure ever. The hot stone massage while the steam was rising from running hot water was to die for. Exactly what I needed today! Thank you!

Got my nails done here, fingers and toes. They did a excelente job. And took there time. I got one of the expensive spa pedis. But for the FRIST TIME EVER, it was worth the money. No rushing, and glitter polish I picked is a pain to put on, but he guy who was my nails tec did the best job ever with the glitter. I luff it💗.

Improper techniquePositives: The salon itself is very inviting - new and sleek interior with the space kept clean and tidy. The staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating, even offering massages for all manicures and pedicures.Negatives: Despite all of the above, the nail technicians here are not trained properly. Ive been here twice and immediately regretted it both times. The first time I got a pedicure (no complaints here) and gel manicure. The nail technician applied the gel so thickly that it actually stung when I put my hands under the UV light which was quite disconcerting. The technician also tried to take off the gel manicure with a buffing tool rather than acetone which will destroy your nails.The second time I got the dip powder manicure and was alarmed that the nail technician tried to dip my finger into the jar which is a great way to get an infection. Any nail technician worth their salt, would pour the powder over your nail (without trying to catch the excess in the jar) so as to prevent the spread of germs between clients.The prices are a little higher than most salons in the area (but similar to Ballston Quarter Mall overpricing in general). However, there was a discount offered both times.Im giving them 2 stars due to the hospitality they give and interior space but would not recommend getting anything besides simple procedures as the nail technicians are not properly trained.

Went to this salon to give it a try and was very pleased. I had the Sport Pedicure, which is $38.00 my technicians name was Lisa and she did a great job. Nice attention to detail and she did a nice lengthy scrub and massage. Its located in the renovated Ballston Quarter and the salon itself is gorgeous. Will definitely go back to treat myself again.

Definitely more then 5 stars! I had Mimi do my nails and I absolutely loved the job she did . She’s very friendly and today I’m getting my facial done by her. I definitely recommend this place. It’s located right in Ballston Mall. Try them out, you won’t regret it.

My nails looked amazing, and I will go back but not for the SNS which is what I got. Like another person said I didnt like how she dipped my nails right in the jar. Also I feel like the shape of my nail could have been better, I actually went home and touched them up. Oddly enough I didnt like how quiet it was, it made me uncomfortable. Nonetheless I plan to come here again, for a basic gel manicure and pedicure. I was treated well, and thats the most important thing.

Michelle was wonderful!

This place is great! Just got a gorgeous set of nails and toes done. The team was very attentive and nice. They have beverages and snacks. I got a neck massage. I will definitely be coming back!

I went this past week and they are taking the max amount of efforts to protect their customers and workers from COVID! (Take temp at door, sanitizing, masks, barriers at pedicure and manicure stations) If you’re thinking about going I would recommend 👍🏻

Very clean, and taking all the precautions during this pandemic. I was very happy with the service.

They do an absolutely incredible job! I cannot commend this place enough. Respectful, kind, and wonderful at their job. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Arlington area!

Absolutely love my nails by Nala. She did such a beautiful job. Highly recommend

Beautiful, large (not cramped) facility, lovely sleek decor, very nice clean bathroom. No loud yacking among employees, just soft peaceful music appropriate for a spa. Im fairly tall (57.5), so I wouldve preferred a pedicure chair that goes back further. I got the sport pedicure ($38), which for $8 more than classic ($30) only added sea salt scrub, but Im attending a wedding, so I figured I could use the extra polish. A little more than Im used to paying ($25-$30 range that already includes sea salt AND paraffin), but, hey, I can walk here. There was a bit of a communication problem, but we worked through it with some gesturing. (I actually prefer this to having the employee try to engage me in mundane conversation when I just want to relax.) I was only allowed to have both feet in the water at the very beginning. I could keep my left foot in the water while she trimmed, etc. the right nails but then I was not allowed to put my right foot back in the water while she trimmed the left, apparently because shed already put lotion on the toes and bottom of my right foot. Maybe let me keep my feet in the nice warm water and put the lotion on the bottoms of my feet when you do the sea salt on everywhere else? During the actual polishing, my hot towel got cold, clammy and should have been removed then (whereas it stayed on until the end), but not a huge deal. However, I did basically get 2 massages - - one with the sea salt and another nice long one with a beautiful smelling massage oil. They DO use a disposable plastic bowl liner, which helps prevent infection or fungus transfer. The pedicure itself looks PERFECT, which IS the whole point. All of my nails are very even with each other, which to me is the sign of a professional nail job (not just willy nilly lengths with no uniformity). Im writing this in real time, so once a couple of the employees didnt have customers, they did start talking loudly, but I mentioned my review and they got quiet again. All in all, a very pleasant experience with a few glitches, but they ARE new. As it turns out, they were still offering their grand opening 30% off, so it was only $26.60.

Treated my 17 year old sister for a full set of nails for her Homecoming party. I dropped her off late Friday 9/27. The nail tech that did her nails even though she tried to make them the shape she wanted (coffin) failed horribly. My sister being shy and not wanting to hurt anyones feelings did not say anything at all right away. The day of homecoming she finally told us that all her friends had beautifully done nails and she found herself hiding them the whole night. I went back to the nail salon to have them fix the misshaped nails only be told that they will charge 50% to fix their mistake. I had just paid ($50) plus ($5 tip) to be told they will not fix their poorly done job!They only offered 50% money back and thats it!

Linda does a fantastic manicure! Very nice salon.

I just went to there shop to get a pedicure. They said they where busy and offered nothing else. I wonder is it because I do not look like any of there customers? Made me uncomfortable and will never try to return again 👎🏾

Very glamorous. What a great place for not just nails but also special events.

Very clean they do an excellent job great polish selection good prices

These ladies are the best. Great work, fast and lasting.

High end salon... Treat the customs GREAT...

Do not go here for eyebrows. I had really thick eyebrows and they ruined them into badly shaped thin ones. It’s also being done out in the open which is so uncomfortable- where i felt I couldn’t say anything.

Dont get your eyelashes done here my lashes fell out within a day.. I regret this.. Waste of money.

My friend and I went for manicures last weekend at Allure. We were told a week earlier that a classic mani was $18. We walked in and we’re told the wait would be 20 minutes max. We waited 40 minutes, and after we were taken, they were annoyed my friend and I wanted to sit together, there was no lotion provided during the manicure, the painting was sloppy and rushed, and the price increased $2 within the first month of being open. I will not return to this place.

Eyelashes horrible I feel bad to say this

An amazing place to get your nails done.

My first time shouldve been my last. The first time I got a take down of my acrylics and then a gel polish on my natural nails.. my first red flags was how aggressive the techs were when taking on my acrylics.. the second red flag was when they ripped off a piece of my natural when taking off the acrylic due to their agression. Then while getting my natural nails done they gave me a really short cut and file WITHOUT EVEN ASKING.. so by the end of my appointment I came out with SHORT AND RIPPED natural nails...And then my second time.. like I didnt learn my lesson the first time and the reason why Im writing this review... all I have to say is CRUSTY CROOKED OVER PRICED NAILS... that is what my nails came out like by the end of the appointment.. did I say something you might ask.. yes.. 3 DAMN TIMES... so Im mad mad and they wont be getting my business again.This isnt worth $60..

Rushed, the lotion was horrible. NEVER AGAIN.

Pedicure was terrible
