Lotus Nails & Spa

Great French manicure here — spoke with numerous staff, who were very friendly. We came in when it was getting close to the end of the day but they did not make us feel rushed. Daniel gave my BF a great pedicure /​foot scrub. I really liked the special cucumber manicure treatment. This was one of my first manicures — and I did end up going with the suggestion by the manicurist to get gel on top… It looks amazing though I’m not looking forward to the process /​pain of taking it off! So we will see how that goes. But if you go in knowing more what you want, I think you’ll leave happy.

They did just an ok job. My nails looked nice but I have issues with dry feet and only splurge on a pedicure when it’s really time to get all the dry skin off. This pedicure didn’t do that for me… Felt like a waste of $. They hardly scrubbed my feet and I left feeling skeptical about the quality. Besides having prettier toe nails, there was not much of an improvement at all in my feet. But the place is overall pleasant.

I used to go to Janet’s Nail Palace in McLean’s shopping center down 123, but I was dissatisfied with their cleanliness and personality. I decided to try Lotus and was converted upon my first visit! The techs were kind and knowledgable and the equipment was very clean – everything in sealed bags/​fresh towels from the towel oven (?) etc. I’ve gotten both traditional manicures and acrylic full sets/​gel full sets at Lotus and all of them resulted in precise work from a relaxing experience. Angie typically works on my nails and she is an absolute delight! I’m never going to Janet’s again – I’m a Lotus girl now!

Not quite the relaxing experience I was hoping for after a long day, but it wasn’t a bad experience by any means. I came in for a pedicure and gel manicure and they did my gel manicure while I was getting my pedicure. Like, the whole thing, with the UV light and all (they had the UV light sitting on top of a pillow on my lap). Made it a bit hard to concentrate on relaxing during my pedicure, especially since I had to be careful not to move too much or bump my nails. Other than that, they did an OK job, my nails weren’t perfect but they looked nice enough– until the color started wearing off after a few days and became translucent in spots (have never seen that before). Prices are good; $ 60 for a pedicure and gel manicure.

I like this place because it is clean, fast and cheap. Yes you will not get Ritz’s treatment but for the price you pay they are very good. They are also very accommodating and even if you don’t have an appointment they try to make it work. I have been there couple of times and I have been very happy with this place.

Completely rushed. Manicure is horrible. I had to point out to her that she only painted half of my nails and she tried to go over it and it just looks worse. There’s more polish on my skin/​cuticles than on my actual nails. I wish I could get my money back. I won’t be back.

Not super excited. Called ahead, made an appointment for a pedicure, but they were clearly over booked and kept me waiting 25 min. The seats are comfortable, and the selection of colors is good. The pedicure was quick, and it was obvious they had a lot of people waiting for services. The pedicure did the job, with no frills or extras. Given the long wait, I probably won’t be coming back.

I went in for a pedicure; they did a fine job. They were very nice and the facility was clean. There was a decent selection of polishes to choose from. Also, there was no wait but there were a few people there and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Lotus is the place to go. It is clean and the selection of services is great. If you need waxing services, Angie is the woman. She is fabulous.

This review is for body waxing — another great service offered by this nail salon and spa. Angie is the technician who took care of my Brazilian wax. She is thorough, gentle, competent and skilled. It was quick and painless — those aren’t usually words associated with a Brazilian wax. I had a pedicure afterwards that she did great work on — great job that is lasting over two weeks. The prices are competitive. You won’t find a better place for waxing or nails. Great job!

I live in Alexandria but will continue to travel to come to Lotus Nails! Beautiful work done by Angie ! A+ every time. Great customer service and extremely clean and fabulous salon.

I can not rave enough about Lotus Nail and Spa. Today I went in for a pedicure with my 76 year old mother. All of the women, including the customers, treated my mother like she was a queen. They were gentle and helpful, and my toes came out PERFECT. I will absolutely be returning.

First time visiting this location. Based on other reviews I chose Tam. She was so sweet and took her time to make sure I was comfortable and enjoyed the experience of a first time visit. The shop was very clean and organized and they had a very nice selection of colors!

I like how clean they keep the salon and pay attention to important details. My nails looked great and I wasn’t worried about anything there which is a new for me at nail salons.

Tam is the absolute best tech, ever. I have followed her to this salon, which is a half hour drive. I pass many other places to come here, this salon is clean and neat.
Tam is precise and pays very close attention to details. She takes the time to get to know regular customers and ensures you are happy when you leave. I am always pleased with my manicures and pedicures!

I can’t live without Tam, she does the absolute best work. I drive half an hour to go to Lotus as her work is that good. The salon is clean and cheery and they have the great pedicure chairs. It has been getting busy, so you may want to call ahead and make an appointment, as it seems like the word is getting out. Parking is easy and the prices are great, not sure how you can beat it.

I live in McLean and was thrilled to find that this nail salon existed. Too many other nail places in the area are lacking in the hygiene department. Lotus nails is extremely clean and there is even the option of purchasing your own box of nail tools with your name on it. The service is also amazing and friendly.
