Tokyo Nails

My best friend and I have been looking for a great (not just good!) nail salon in Manassas and I think we’ve found it! The place is very lovely, organized and clean. They make a point of stating that their equipment is 100% sanitized in their brochure and you can see that it is true. The nail techs are extremely nice. Kim was friendly and attentive. My full set of acrylic and pedi came out great! Prices are very reasonable. We were walk ins and were attended fairly quickly. Will definitely be coming back :)

Not sure who my nail technician was but my nails are hurting like crap. I don’t recommend this location at all go to the other with Tiffany and Muy. They didn’t even do the spa properly. What a waste!

I used to love coming to this place because they remember you, make conversation, and are overall really laid back and relaxing. Not anymore. First, the most realible person there, Rita, left for another salon. I walked in about two weekends ago for an acrylic set, with a friend hoping for a pedicure. The salon was nearly empty with 2 – 3 people getting pedicures and one woman finishing up her manicure. If you’ve ever been here, based on the set up there is room for at least a dozen nail techs in addition to the spa chairs for pedicure in the back, and yet there was hardly anyone there.
I was told to wait but not for how long. And after already going to my first choice salon and it being unusually busy, we figured it could not be that long given how empty it was here. We were so wrong. Some 30 minutes later someone finally takes me for my acrylics, but no one comes to claim my friend for her pedicure. He rushed through my manicure (didnt even clean up the cuticles and just got right to business so they grew out weird, sliced me a bit on one finger, and seemed to skip some important steps to preserve the integrity of the outcome) and by the time he was done some 45 min later (after the already 30 min wait for the 45 min service), he finally tells my friend «oh sorry now we can take you for a pedicure.» Really? We said no, it was ridiculous to spend any more time there. I give him props for attempting a basic design on my nail, but it came out horribly. They only do flowery or outdated designs and are not up to date with whats popular (which would help them make money) so a basic Chevron looked like someone took a sharpie to my fingernail and blindly drew some lines on it. I was too frustrated with all of the waiting and was so ready to go, that I just said it was fine and left. I knew I would come off rude and did not want to, but it was quite bad. I took a picture, if you want to see.
Its as if they just dont care anymore. They dont communicate with you or greet you when you walk in. You stand there awkwardly waiting to be acknowledged, and then they are unclear how long they want you to sit there and wait. I was really disappointed since this place used to be my favorite, but I have moved on.

I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Tokyo Nails. The staff is always welcoming, friendly & accommodating! Kim the owner is wonderful, makes a point to always greet every customer as if they’re friends & he’s known them for years. Muy is a doll & the consummate professional. Fast, efficient & fantastic!
Make an appointment or just stop by. They are always ready with warm smiles & easy nature. You won’t be disappointed!

Terry for a spa pedicure … Only two words A Mazing!!! The place is clean the staff is friendly and there are more colors to choose that I have ever seen in another salon. I’m glad I listen to my girlfriend and came here I will certainly be back. Make sure you call if you want Terry seems to be popular! And trust me when I say there is a reason for it!!! Also heard that they do haircuts I will be bringing my two little boys here to see how well they do.

Very disappointed. Last week, I went in when they opened at ten and made an appointment for a pedicure at noon. Came back a little early for my pedicure and the tech was clearly overbooked and yet tried to act as though everything was fine. Made me wait for 20 minutes before putting me in a pedi chair. After I told him I had to go back to work soon, he left me there and started doing ANOTHER customer’s nails. Uh yeah, no. That’s not how you treat a loyal customer who’s been coming there for 3 years. I put my shoes back on and walked out with their lame apologies ringing in my ears. Pathetic customer service. They don’t seem to understand what an appointment means. I won’t ever be back — already found another salon.

I love this place. I had a mani and pedi by Rita and both look amazing. I will make this a regular shop for me.

Made an appointment for reflexology and a pedicure over a week ago and the we show up for our appointment and they inform us that the lady who does reflexology went to ny yesterday. No phone to let us know. I am livid. Worst service I have ever seen before. Don’t waste your money at this place and if you do expect piss poor service.

I went into Tokyo Nail after reading all the wonderful reviews on Unilocal.I’ve been having a hard time finding a place where they do nails, speak English and that is clean.
As soon as I walked in I felt I was in good hands. I was greated immediately by the person who sits on the chair upfront. He told me to sit down and someone would be right with me. I waited about 5 minutes and was approached by Terry, who took my purse and brought a drink for me and guided me to these comfortable, massage chairs. It was one of the best pedicures I have ever had. He was pleasant, took his time and gave me a wonderful leg massage. I usually prefer women doing my pedicures, but Terry was super friendly, professional and made me feel very relaxed. I was on my lunch break but plan to go back tomorrow to get a manicure with him.
If you’re looking for outstanding, relaxing and professional experience give Tokyo Nails a try. You won’t regret it!

I went for a walk-​in manicure and didn’t wait too long on a Tuesday, which is when they are open for appointments.
The service was good, like another reviewer says, there is no rinse, just the hand cream and the mittens which are then dried. My manicure was not rushed, and the attendant reviewed her work carefully, she was talkative and nice.
The interior is ample, seating is comfortable, there are two low volume TV’s and background music, general area was clean and the stations were organized, I liked the Asian themed decoration and floral arrangements, also plenty of magazines to check while you wait.
Prices are reasonable, there is varied service list and the location can be convenient if you are going to Manassas old town or using 234.

The wait was great for a walk in, when I sat down I asked for gel nails, this was my first time getting them done and I already had acrylic nails on. He was over priced me for no reason. I had already had nails on that he reused and he made me pay as if he put them on and re did everything. I was very disappointed with the end result I got a french and u can see marks under my nails where we had no idea to file. My nails look like crap. Don’t go here! Waste of money and time.

Had my nails done here to fix what Divine Nails in Sowder Village botched and what a lovely change. Ended up with GORGEOUS fill and pedicure. Only downside — not enough employees for as many people as walk in (2 workers for Tuesday afternoon and 2ppl left and I’m not sure came back when told there was a wait). Place could use a makeover… but my nails are definitely amazing. Will be coming back here next time!

The location is kind of slum. The salon is not bad. I called after I saw decent reviews and asked for an appt with someone who could use the razor on my callouses and scheduled a mani/​pedi. Got there & right away was addressed and told to pick a color and then asked by someone walking by if I wanted to see someone in particular. I stated the above. I like that the pedi area is in the back. The chairs are kind of typical– just ok with one setting. She was very timid to use the razor and about scrubbed me to death afterwards with the purple pumice stone. Also, I always wear my own thong sandals to any salon. She ran the tissue through my toes– I kind of think that is cheesy– and before she started with color I asked her if she wanted me to put on my sandals– she said no. Well, she should have listened to me bc at least three of the toenails were messed up when she put my shoes on.
On to the mani. This is the second shop I have been to in the past month that uses no water soak. I think that’s weird. They do the lotion with the heated mitts but they’re on for such a short time and awkward. SHe was good at squaring the nails, but when I left I noticed she didn’t even really touch my cuticles. Also, the chairs were much too large and deep for the stations; I had to sit forward the entire time.
The only positive was the price. My person was Mai. I wouldn’t go back again based on the experience. It’s also a little out of my way so not worth the drive.
I go the salon to get relaxed, but this experience was anything but.

First off — when two friends walk in to get pedicures together. they shouldn’t get heir nails done at different times and have to sit across the room from eachother… Just saying.
The chairs are so old and nasty. the foam where you put your feet is damaged so bad and falling apart it is gross. the chairs are dirty and dingy and aren’t even «massage» chairs…
There aren’t enough pedicure chairs and they don’t offer any libations while you get your nails done. Not a fan of this place with the out dated equipment and a pumice stone that looks used since 1999… The price isn’t that great either.

I just moved to the area and was looking for a new nail salon. Tokoyo Nails has passed the test.
I had my first appointment with Cam at Tokoyo Nails on 7÷20÷2012. I went in for a fill and a pedicure. After my gel set was complete I was impressed with the way it looked. My nails looked classy and professional. Next I had my pedicure. I get a french with a design on my big toe. The lines for the french were clean and straight. The design on my big toe was very pretty. I left a happy customer.
I get my nails done every 2 – 3 weeks, so I wanted to wait before writing a review. Heads up ladies, if you go to a nail salon and your nails do not last for 2 – 3 weeks without chipping, cracking, breaking, etc. your salon is not good and you need to keep looking. So after normal wear and tear and a move from MD to VA my mani and pedi lasted without any damage. This sealed the deal for me.
I immediately made my next appointment with Cam on 8÷8÷2012. Again my gel set was perfection and my pedi is clean and cute. This is my new regular nail salon.

I made an appointment two days in advance for a Brazilian. I made absolutely sure to tell the guy on the phone I wanted a Brazilian. I got there, day of my appointment, and was told the woman who normally does Brazilians didn’t come in for another two hours but they would go ahead and wax me anyway. $ 45 later I walked out with essentially a bikini wax. Plus, there was hair (like plucked hairs) on the paper towel that laid across the head of the bed, that was covered with two beach towels. The woman, god bless her because she was so nice, used the same pot of wax for me as they’ve probably used for everyone else — ie; she kept dipping the same stick in the same pot of wax. I’m not sure but that may be unsanitary. I do like this place but this experience was much much less than desirable due to poor communication about the availability of someone who does Brazilians and unclean conditions.

I flip flop between this place and another Nail salon in Gainesville, VA. only because Tokyo nails is closed on Tues and that is when I usually get my nails done. Tokyo nails is by far the best in the area! Cam is the owner and has a great personality. Rita does great pedi-​cures and Joe and Cam have done my nails, both are great! Did just what I asked no issues. My husband has even come here and likes it better than any place else! Great staff, clean, everyone is nice and speaks great English and super super friendly:)

Went for a mani-​pedi with a friend. They were nice and got 2 chairs together. They were very busy so even though we were together my friend got their pedi done before mine was even started. Their manicure was done before I finished my pedi so they had to wait.
The people who work there are very nice. I don’t think my nails are filed as nicely as I have had done elsewhere, though. I will go back however.
The chemical smell is very strong in the shop.

Honestly, had I not seen the Unilocal reviews for this salon (thank you!), I would have never looked twice or thought about going inside. I have seen this place driving to the salon I used to frequent by Target but never thought about going there since it’s in a little strip mall next to a gun store & gas station. Don’t let the surrounding area sway you from stopping here! The inside is beautiful and DEFINITELY worth making a stop. Marble flooring, nice pedicure chairs. It’s nice — and has a cute little beachy, palm tree theme.
I had no trouble walking in on a Friday at 4PM w/​o an appointment and getting seated right away and neither did a girlfriend who met me up 10 minutes later, despite the place being pretty packed. She got a pedicure and loved it. She said the guy massaged her legs very well and took his time making sure her pedicure was perfect. Not a spec of nail polish on her cuticle or anything. I didn’t catch his name but she said she would def come back because he was very attentive.
I was sat with a very sweet girl named Muy. I asked for a shellac manicure (if you haven’t gotten one, DO IT. it’s so low maintenance, dries instantly and last for 2+ weeks for $ 30 – awesome) and it was AMAZING. I had gotten a shellac french mani 2.5 wks prior for my wedding and needed to remove it and it didn’t take much time at all before Muy could start on my shellac mani. She did a great job in making sure all the details were taken care of; cuticles cut, perfectly buffed & shaped my nails. She took her time and didn’t rush, which I appreciated because the salon quickly became more packed with people getting dolled up for the weekend. Again, Muy was super sweet and by the time I left, I felt like I had made a new homegirl, rather than just getting my nails done by some random. I’ll post a picture of my nails — I’m really happy with them. I picked the color #35, which is a coral-​y pink color. I’ve rec’d a ton of compliments in the 6 days since it’s been done. BTW, mine and my friends nails were inspected thoroughly by our friend who’s an extremely picky nail tech that’s damn good at what she does (hi, MT) and she said they did a great job — so if I have her seal of approval, I know this place is a winner.
The staff is extremely friendly and the salon is really clean. If you can make it out to Tokyo, I’d def rec commend it! I’ve been to 3 – 5 different nail salons in the Manassas/​Bristow area and really, really love this place. Finally, a place I can come to get dolled up at without getting ridiculed by the nail techs (one time I was told straight up by the nail tech working on me, «They talking about you.» Lol, oh word? «Oh, you no worry. It nuting bad.» haha, sure it’s not. At another salon, «Why are you engage? You look like you in high skew.» Same woman, «I know you Asian but why your eyes so small?»). Coming back on Saturday to see Muy for a pedicure and I am actually looking forward to it, rather than it being just another errand to run.

My daughter-​in-​law and I went there for our very first pedicure and we both loved it. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and they take their time, even though they are usually pretty busy.
I plan on making pedicures a monthly event!
