Jenny at PINKY is fantastic. They are trying to sell the business to reduce the commute from MD, so her services are appointment ONLY.

AMAZING!!! Great service. Phoon the owner and Jenny are so wonderful. Best manicure and pedicure I ever had in my life. They both took the time to explaining each service to me. Also they are both genuinely sweet and take pride in their skills. If you want an amazing atmosphere, great service, good conversation and beautiful nails, PLEASE visit PINKY Nail Boutique!!!!

$40 for basic manicure and pedicure Monday-Friday; $48 on weekends. Basic does not mean bad! Their basic is EXCELLENT! Im sorry, that might even be an understatement! Complimentary champagne, water, juice and other refreshments. They deserve an excellent review, but in all honesty, Id rather keep this place secret so this place doesnt become overcrowded. Selfish? Why yes... yes I am. About this, at least.

I enjoy coming here. Its clean, the staff are friendly and the work is exceptional. Complimentary bottled water/juice and free garage parking too. Jenny has been doing my nails for 4 years now. I took a break from Pinky to acquire a closer nail shop to realize you cant cut corners with customer service or details. Pinky has both! I live in DC and drive to Alexandria every 2 weeks for my appointment. That says a lot! 🤗

Chipping only 3 days later. I get my nails done every 2 weeks, thought I’d try a new place, never had a problem like this before. Also the polish is streaky and uneven, 2 coats were applied and you can still see through it. $50 for a fill....and not even a good one

The first time I went the lady said it was $25.00 as long as I paid cash for a gel manicure, this was on a Thursday. I went back again to the same lady on a Thursday to get another gel manicure. She said their was an extra charge to remove the gel manicure. $10.00 more? I had only brought 30.00 to pay her cash plus the tip. Of course she mentions this after she did my manicure. What salon charges to remove gel manicure? And because I didnt have enough cash I was charged $42.00. She did a wonderful job both times but they should mention the fact that they charge for gel manicure removal.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! I just got my nails and feet done for my birthday this weekend and it was one of the best nail experiences that I have ever had!!! The ladies were extremely attentive and remembered my name! I also was given a sugar scrub during my pedicure and the owner made it complimentary as a birthday gift!! These are the sweetest women ever and the results are great!! I am most impressed with how thorough my pedicure was. She really scrubbed my feet and took her time! I brought in a Pinterest pic of the nails that I wanted and I am very happy with how well the finished product turned out. I drove from Maryland to come to this shop and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Jenny was amazing with my SNS with tip extensions and they were done so perfectly and quickly i was honestly amazed with her technique. I’m definitely coming back again. Customer service is great they offered our guest a place to sit and gave us complementary water. They were fast and efficient and they took us in closer to close doing us a huge favor. I recommend this place to anyone looking for professional nails. 🥰

UPDATE: Changing this to a two star. Manicure only lasted 2 days before chipping. 4 days later, every nail has chips. Will go elsewhere from now on.Fantastic nail salon with great cash deals! With cash, mani-pedi combo on weekend is $48! This place is very clean and sterile.Its also not a zoo during peak times since they only have 3 nail techs working at a time.Free parking in garage underneath on weekends and after 5pm.The only negative is that their messages are weak (non existant) and they dont offer wine.Reservation recommended on weekends and weekdays

I get pedicures here and always leave happy. Prices are great and if you pay with cash you get $10 in the morning and $5 off at night. They take their time and give a great leg and foot massage. Ive been to much more expensive and fancy salons and I would pick Pinkys over those.

Had a delightful pedicure here. Easy walk in appointment and they were able to see me right away. They do discounts if you pay in cash, and discounts during the week. Id love to come back.

Very clean salon, nice and courteous staff. I came in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure on a Saturday and was able to be seated for my pedicure right away. They offer mimosas or champagne during your service!My technician did an excellent job on my pedicure. My feet feel amazing! Great attention to detail. I also like how they dont harass you about upgrading to more services.I will definitely be back!

Great pedicure and manicure. I walked in and they took me 30 minutes. Im annoyed that they try to up-sell me and asked me to write a review but I guess thats part of business. Overall happy with the quality of the pedicure. I got dipping powder gel for my manicure and it lasted 3 weeks. I dont think Ill ever do anything else.

If I could give zero stars I would. This place gave me a staph infection on my finger. I went two weeks ago on a Tuesday morning. Manicure looked nice but woman slightly cut my cuticle. I noticed utensils were already on the table and I did not see them cleaned or opened. The next day it hurt like crazy. Then swelled. I cleaned with peroxide etc. Fast forward 2 weeks and I have a staph infection from where I was cut that is slowly healing and it’s still up in the air if I need to be hospitalized for IV antibiotics. I am on extremely heavy duty antibiotics and this has affected my work. Seriously don’t ever go.

PINKY is such a great new salon in Arlington! They are welcoming, friendly, and really take their time. Most importantly, they are super clean. Get the deluxe or higher pedicure - you will NOT be disappointed. I am really picky and Ive been totally happy here.They have a number of cash specials I always take advantage of!

Got my fiancées nails done for our engagement pictures. Nails looked great. Until 2 days later when we had to super glue one back on. For a low price of $97

Review №25

The place is nice and clean. The staff seems nice. The manicurist said she didnt know how to do designs with regular polish on my toes. She only knows how to do designs on gel polish. REALLY??? I am not sure of the difference but okay. They charge $5 per toe which is definitely not okay. I am used to $5 for both toes. I paid $40 for a regular pedi and mani because I paid with cash. It wasnt worth it to me. They did they bare minimum. I am used to more for the same price whether I pay cash or card. Lastly, some of my cuticles are a little sore, not cool.I wish them the best but I will not be going back.

Review №27

I got a pedicure. The salon was clean and modern. However, they nickle and dime you for every little thing (at least three things while I was there). Even though I paid the extra $10 for callus treatment, they didnt really do a good job or get everything. My toes do look cute now, but they also didnt do a great job of cleaning up mistakes (there was still polish on my skin when I got home). Also, the service could have been better. There were a few times when the nail tech was a little rude and at the end of the service she was nowhere to be found I had to hunt her down to pay. If Im going to pay top dollar for nails, Im going to go to a better place.

Review №28

I went for a gel full set but my nail polish was chipping on ONE finger so I went back the next day to get that ONE finger fixed. Then I went back for a whole polish change three days later because I ate curry and had light polish so I wanted a new color. I paid and tipped. One week later I go in asking for a fill and EVERYONE in the shop acted like they couldnt do it. They insisted only the original woman who did my nails could fill. I was so upset because I went in there on two occasions looking for this mystery woman and she was never there! I even called ahead and made an appointment. I even tried to explain that I dont care who does my nails! I will support the business. They are very petty and unprofessional

I went here for a while to get my acrylics refilled. Then the last time I went, she cut my cuticles down so low that they were bleeding! So I came back and they told me that their nail tech was the best they have to offer so I should just try another salon. 😕

Review №31

This is my new favorite place! I found them on Yelp, they had amazing reviews, so I figured Id check them out.When you arrive you are greeted by Jack who is kind and welcoming. He checks on you throughout your vist to ensure that you have a wonderful experience.This is my second visit with Jenny for my pedicure, her level of service, and attention to detail is exceptional! Minh did my nails, he is awesome as well.The decor is relaxing, they have an array of nail polish colors, it seems that all of the nail technicians are meticulous, which is rare. Lastly, complimentary mimosas. YumI highly recommend Pinkys, even it you dont live in Arlington, it is well worth the drive.

Review №32

This is the cleanest and most professional nail salon I have been to in the DC area. They do not reuse their tools, they do not overbook, they offer refreshments, and are very detailed in their work. Clearly they have standards in place that none of the technicians deviate from, ever!

This is my favorite nail salon by far. Super prices and services. Jason did my Mani pedi last time and was extremely attentive and detail oriented. My nails have never looked so good.

Review №34

This shop is so cute and everybody was so nice! I got a gel mainucure. During the week they have $10 off gel manicures if you pay with cash so the price is $25 instead of $35. It was well worth the money! I found a new nail home!

Review №35

I really enjoyed the salon but as time went on the ladies became rude. I won’t waste my time here anymore simply based off of the way they treat the customers, specifically black customers.

Where do I start?!?! This place is a hidden gem. You would never know how beautiful it is inside by the outside because thats how DC is. Very calming and relaxing. I got the spa mani and pedi. The services is on the pricey side BUT they DO NOT reuse their tools. Fresh tools for each person and there is complimentary wine, champagne, water, juice, etc. This place is awesome. Came in looking like T-Rex and I left feeling like a woman. Highly recommended and the price is well worth it.

Review №41

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to get a manicure and spa pedicure. I read the revues on Google and decided to go to Pinky Nail Boutique. I was the first customer of the day and Jack explained everything to me and was very helpful. A wonderful young lady named Quinnie took care of me. She was wonderful. My nails have never looked so good. She pampered me and I enjoyed talking with her too. The boutique is beautiful, clean and extremely organized! Jack does a great job with all of that and you will love it! Thanks so much for a great visit!!

Every time I try to get service they have over an hour wait. When I try to call ahead to make an appointment no one ever answers. How is business ever conducted this way?

Review №52

They were very accommodating, but only one of their nail techs was able to do SNS when my friend and I went in, meaning it took forever for both of us to have our nails done. SNS usually lasts me about 3-4 weeks, but these ones started peeling off in just a week. If you want SNS, I would consider to going to a place a bit more experienced in it. Their color selection was also limited. The staff was very friendly, though, and they do give a decent discount for cash payments. Id go again maybe if I wanted a regular manicure.

Review №53

Worst experience at a nail salon ever!! First I was sprayed with water, all over my back, when they were filling the tub for my pedi. Then they charged full price ($35) for a pedi for my 9 year old, when they didn’t even do the polish...and we did ask for polish. When I asked for a discount, after no polish and getting soaked with water, they acted like I was nuts?! If I could give zero stars I would!
