Such a lovely experience! Amy and her husband clearly care about their customers (it was my first time, but everyone else in there seemed to be a regular - always a good sign!) I will definitely be back Read Less

I moved to DC several months ago and was in need of decent nail salon. Few previous places I went to do my nails were mediocre and I won't return there. Looks like Amy's nail salon is my new to go place. Would definitely recommend and absolutely come back! Read Less

So unfortunately I have to change my review. Today was my third time going and the price increases to $75 for the same service I've gotten two times before for $50. Her excuse is "because it's the weekend." I hope that extra $25 was worth losing return business. Initial review- Nice, attentive, and they provide quality service. I can't think of any complaints and the price was really good as well. I'll be back monthly! Read Less

This place is great! I've been twice so far for a gel manicure.  They're super friendly, do a great job, price is great, and my last manicure lasted four weeks without chipping. Only place I've been to that compares in quality is Belle Nail Salon on Capitol Hill, but that place is super expensive.  I don't even live near Adams Morgan but we'll go out of my way just to come here.

I waited a week to post this review to cool down and see if it really needed to be written or if I was just mad. Now I've had some time to think, it definitely needs to be written. The moral of this story is DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON FOR POWDER NAILS. If you would like to learn why, please read on.I was visiting DC from Arizona and had an SNS dip manicure from a salon in Arizona. I was hoping I could hold out until I got back but the nails starting lifting so I found this place and called to see if they could get me in on short notice. Amy said to come in at 3. I got there right at 3 and she was working on another client which was fine because I knew I would have to get my dip nails removed first. Her (I assume) daughter worked on taking off my existing dip nails, but it wasn't working fast enough for Amy so she just ended up soaking my nails (and fingers) in acetone for about half an hour which super dried out my skin. The next part was pretty normal. Amy dremeled and prepped my nails and did the dip manicure just like I'm used to having it done. Right before the top coat, she had me go wash my hands. I washed my hands with the soap by the sink and came and sat back down. She did a top coat on it which didn't dry immediately. She had me put my nails in front of a little fan at her station and waited and waited and waited. The nails still looked sticky and weren't dry at all after quite a while. Amy at first blamed me, saying that I shouldn't have used soap. (She didn't tell me not to, and I always use soap at the other salon I go to.) She dremeled off the top coat, cut up my fingers then tried again. This time she sent me to sit at the drying station and came by and checked on me every ten minutes or so. They still weren't drying. Amy starting panicking and called one of her "friends" to ask her advice. They talked in Chinese for a while (so I don't know what they said) and then she grabbed me and dremeled off the top coat again, cutting up my fingers more. She kept apologizing and saying that her friend said the top coat was wrong and she needed to use another one. She tried again with another top coat and the same thing happened again, this time she left me drying even longer. At this point I had been at the salon for two and a half hours. She asked if she could try again when it still didn't try and I told her I really needed to get going. She apologized profusely and said, "You come back tomorrow, I do for free." I made up an excuse about not being able to come back (why would I subject myself to this again?) and tried to edge my way out so I could walk to CVS, buy some acetone and clean up her mess. She then got very agitated and said "You have to pay!" and I asked "for what? You said you would do it for free tomorrow, all you did today was destroy my nails and make me bleed." She kept shaking her head and apologizing, but insisted that I pay today. Super frazzled, I just handed her my credit card, hoping to get out of there. I told her that at this point I was going to have to go get acetone and spend the rest of my night taking off these nails and I didn't understand why she was charging me money. She said she would take them off for me and apologized again. I gave up and let her take them off because I didn't want to walk in the snow to the CVS and waste my night taking off the nails. She dremeled most of the powder off and was visibly distressed (and kept talking about) about how she had cut up my fingers and made them bleed. But that didn't stop her from dremeling them down again and then dunking my bleeding hands in a bowl of stinging acetone. She charged my card for an arbitrary $10 and begged me to come back the next day so she could "do for free." I walked out into the freezing cold (it was 6:30pm at this point) with my hands bleeding and still burning from the acetone. When I got home I had to cut my nails all the way down to my fingers because she had dremeled them paper-thin and they kept bending backwards. To this day they are incredibly weak and I have scabs all over my fingers where she cut them. I'm still reeling from this experience but mostly I can't believe that Amy (the owner of the salon) charged me money for what took place there. I would seriously advise against anyone visiting this establishment but definitely don't go there for dip nails because they don't know how to do them. Read Less

After moving to the area, I was in desperate need to find a new nail salon. I tried a few places in the AdMo and Dupont areas, but wasn't liking the results or the prices. Enter Amy. I kick myself for waiting so long. Not only is this place clean and the staff kind and attentive, the prices are spot on and the work is fantastic. Amy does my SNS manicure ($45 and no charge for take off if you come back), which lasts for at least 3 weeks. I also treat myself to the spa pedicure once a month ($45), because it comes with a 15 minute reflexology session, which after walking all over the place is always a treat. I've never had a problem scheduling same-day appointments and they seem to accommodate walk-ins quickly, if not immediately. One note--bring cash for the tip. They only allow cards for the payment; tips must be in cash. Read Less

I got a gel manicure. The nail tech was super nice and made sure I liked the shape she chose and the color I chose. Amy the owner is soo sweet as well. Customer service is on point! Beverages were offered. There is a big range of color options. Parking is just really annoying! I'll def be back A++ see you next time. Read Less

***** I go to Amy's every 2 weeks! Love this place. They are thorough and kind and friendly. Hard workers too they are not rude and rushing you. They have water and soda for guests. They have hot fresh towels and clean foot bath germ protecting covers. And the prices are perfect. My friend got her eyebrows and gel done there and I try and get regular mani pedi but I have two nails that amy dips or glues or whatever magic she does! Thanks Amy!for keeping my nails so flawless! ***** Read Less

They do a great job and are so nice! My husband and I got pedicures here and we both had a great experience. He gets pedicures once every 2 years and he said this was the best yet because they do a great job massaging. I had the gentleman do mine and he is slower than the women but so sweet and a great end result! Will definitely be back. Read Less

Everything that the Yelpers have said about this place is true. I was unable to get to my nail salon in Atlanta before going on a weekend vacation to DC. I searched Yelp for nail salons in the area of my hotel and found Amy's and the amazing reviews. I called the night before my arrival in DC and was able to book an appointment. I arrived a bit earlier than expected into the city and called to see if I could push my appointment up a bit earlier & Amy was happy to accommodate. Amy and her staff are absolutely amazing. Her husband did an amazing job on my pedicure and the foot massage was one of the best I've had. Another one of the staff did my boyfriend's pedicure and she also did an amazing job (he had an additional upcharge massage option added to his pedicure). Amy did my SNS nail manicure and it was flawless!!!! I love the attention that they give to detail, friendliness of the staff and clients (Mary was another client there getting her nails done and had been coming to Amy for over 10 years!!) The quality of their overall work was exceptional. When I am in DC, I will be booking an appointment here. Superb job Amy's team!!!! Read Less

Hands down the best nail salon I have ever been to - Amy and her husband are absolutely amazing and a pleasure to be around! I have been going here for a few months now and each time is always such a pleasant experience. My nails have also never been in better shape. Can't say enough great things about this place. Go! Read Less

I've had acrylics, pedis, and gel manis here - all amazing. Rarely do I have any gel chips and if I do, usually that's because I'm picking at my nails. I go every two weeks to get a new gel mani and my natural nails are long and healthy; they break very little compared to when I get them done at other salons. Great care taken of my nails here! All employees take their time on your nails (I've had all of them at least once) and the salon is clean. Amazing color selection too, and prices are very reasonable. Rarely a wait time. Read Less

Amy's nail spa is great for manicures, pedicures and eyebrows! They are kind, efficient and hospitable (free bottle of water or soda) with any service. The salon is clean and Amy and her employees are very good at what they do! Read Less

My favorite salon in the city for my nails hands down. The quality is exceptional, and the price point is just right. The past three times I've had a pedicure, I've had the gentleman who works there, and I've considered going more frequently than once a month just to have his massages! Seriously though. They're amazing. I'm on day four of my manicure right now, and it still looks as if I got it done this morning (even though I gardened this weekend). Super friendly as well. Make sure you pick up their frequent flyer card (every 10 you get one free), because if you go once, you'll for sure want to go back. Read Less

The people who work here are very nice. The salon is comfortable. The chairs are massage chairs. The quality of the pedicure and manicure are excellent and the prices are the lowest in the area. Great value for money. Highly recommended. Read Less

AMAZING...you won't be disappointed!!! The prices are good & the service is excellent. This is the best nail salon in Adams Morgan and if I'm completely honest DC. They do everything...nails, waxing, AND massage (not to be missed) VERY CLEAN and the staff is super friendly, efficient and just generally pleasant to be around. I LOVE this place...try it once and I promise you'll be back. Read Less

I have been going to Amy's Nails & Spa since I moved to the area. I am a regular customer and go in every 2 weeks for a gel mani and regular pedicure. Amy and other employees always do their best work no matter how busy they are. I love coming here!! Read Less

I'm not gonna lie--I was disappointed when I found out that a new person took over Nam's Nail Boutique. I mean, I was so happy to hear that Nam opened up a new nail salon (she sold the one in Cleveland Park) and then I find out that some lady named Amy has taken over. Call me pessimistic but often times when a business goes under new management, the business goes down. Well, color me surprised--the new owner, Amy is great. She is very personable and so is her staff. She still offers tea and water like Nam did but she gives a frequency card, which was not done before. For every 10 manicures/pedicures, you get a free one. Also, she is very accommodating. There was a lady that was quite demanding and she pouted until Amy re did both hands (I think she didn't like the color of the polish, which is not the fault of the salon--and why wait until all the nails were done to complain?).I really like the salon--I'm so glad that even though Nam is not there anymore, the quality of service hasn't changed.-nail polish lasts a long time before chipping-very clean-vast nail polish selection-great location in Adams Morgan Read Less

Amy is an amazing nail technician. She will nurse your nails back to health as well as make them cute. If you want a certain design or shape, she is on top of it. The salon itself is extremely clean. The prices are reasonable as well. I really recommend it! Read Less
