Best Gel Nails near me in Observatory Circle, Washington

Lisa and Tina are excellent - this is my second time getting my nails done (first time gel manicure, second time non-eFile pedicure), and I've been impressed with the results on both occasions. The space is airy and peaceful, the service is top-tier, and the seats are unbelievably comfortable. While the services are not cheap, the attention to detail, quality, and above-and-beyond care provided is worth every penny. Such a small thing, but I appreciate the drink offerings and that they check in to make sure you like the polish color after doing one nail. Genuinely relaxing.

New location but same excellent service. I followed Oksana from her previous salon as no one is as good as her at a dry manicure and builder gel

This was a lovely salon and the technician are very good. Only suggestion I would say is that the European manicure does not include any polish at all.

I had my first appointment with Viktoria for a dry hard gel manicure with a drill machine, and she did an amazing job! The manicure was done very carefully, and the gel application is absolutely flawless, so cute! I was also really pleased to see that all the tools were sterilized — Viktoria explained the process to me — and she used disposable nail files, which I really appreciated. I'm so glad I chose this studio! I'll definitely be coming back for my next manicure. Highly recommend Viktoria to everyone👍

There is gel mani, and then there is The Beauty. Treat yourself at least once to a manicure here, and it will be hard to go anywhere else.

I am so pleased with my nails! Oksana did a FANTASTIC job. She tailored my manicure to my specific needs (thin and brittle short nails) and wants (hard gel to protect my nails and thin as possible). She surpassed my expectations! 5 stars!

Excellent service and great-quality dry manicure. This is my second time getting my nails done with Oksana, and her skills and expertise are superb—far beyond what I’ve experienced at other (high-end) salons!

I had a European French manicure done by Oksana, and it was such a lovely experience. The style was clean, natural, and just the right amount of elegant. The soft pink base and neat white tips looked so polished without being too bold—exactly what I wanted. Oksana was warm, attentive, and really detail-oriented. She took her time shaping the nails and making sure everything looked perfect, and the whole process felt bespoke and professional. Highly recommend :)

My manicure and pedicure was exceptional! Beatriz paid great attention to detail, leaving my nails looking flawless. The manicure/pedicure lasts for weeks. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend her.

I've had my nails done by many different professionals, but Oksana is truly exceptional! I've been coming to her for both manicures and pedicures, and I’ve never had gel polish last as long and as well as it does after her work. Her attention to detail and skill is unmatched, and I always leave with beautiful, long-lasting results. I highly recommend Oksana to anyone looking for top-quality nail services!

Today was my first time getting a hard-gel manicure and pedicure, and I absolutely loved it! I had a fantastic experience at Chic Nail Studio in Arlington. Oksana, the owner, was incredibly personable, paid great attention to detail and was generous with her time. I highly recommend Chic Nail Studio and I will definitely be coming back. 💅 ✨

My first Russian manicure did not disappoint! Highly recommend

Khali was amazingly talented, producing my best pedicure yet. I mean, sugar scrub, massage, and she even buckled my sandals on my feet once polish was dry (unprompted; I'd never expect or ask that!!) so my clumsy self didn't mess it up!

Best manicure I’ve had!! Mara is a perfectionist and my nails have never looked better

The service was great for my manicure and pedicure. I really love my nails. Today was my first time visiting and I reviewed their prices that they have posted online which the max was $150 for both mani and pedicure. I was really disappointed at the end during the transaction that they couldn’t print or share an invoice with me of why my bill was $258. At least, before continuing the next treatment they could’ve told me what the prices are. I looked around the salon for where the prices were visibly posted, but they had none.

I loved the four-hand experience with the additional hand and foot rituals added. My BIAB manicure was especially impressive - it's been 3 weeks and no lifting! I alwaysss have issues with lifting from other salons, so I am so happy to have such a solid manicure this time!

Bea is outstanding! I always had the most incredible experience and she never disappoints! Her attention to detail and excellence in manicure and pedicure services is unmatched—my nails have never looked better. Her new space is also super cute, clean, and professional. I highly recommend Bea to anyone looking for top-tier service in a beautiful environment!
