Great prices, great pedicure! I’ve been here twice now, and really love the quality of the pedicures. They don’t rush through, even when there are people waiting. I paid $5 more for the callous removal and sea salt scrub. The ladies who work here are really sweet and have a nice rapport with the customers. The shop is small, three pedicure chairs and two nail stations. They have a lock on the door and will buzz you in when you knock. There is Street parking just around the corner. Read Less

Beautiful spirits working here. They pay attention to detail and are very knowledgeable about the skin when waxing. Pedicure was AMAZING and was definitely not rushed through like most places. I've never had a bad experience coming here. Definitely better than the nail salon at Hechenger Mall which should be shut down for lack of cleanliness and customer service. Since this is a small place, with just 3 people working there, I would book an appointment in advanced just so you don't have to wait too long because they do have regulars. Other than that, they're friendly, the pricing is good (be sure to tip as a courtesy) and you'll leave feeling like you got your money's worth. Read Less

My cuticles have seen the light!I started going here a few months ago for gel mani + pedi. I'm very particular about what actually qualifies as a good nail service, meaning I'm less about colors and bubbles and more about filing, shaping and smoothing rough patches of the hands and feet. In DC I find myself spending a lot of money on glorified foot-baths and "extra for callus remover" But at King they honestly care about making sure that they don't miss a thing! Ive had nothing but amazing long lasting no chip gel mani's and soft to the touch pedicures ready for summer sandal season. They have a decent selection of Gel polish. Not a place for immaculate gel art but you can get some unique colors. They've done an accent glitter nail for me before, I had a cool semi-marbleized effect and my friend had a really cool color changing polish recently! Btw this is all at no extra cost!I mean when I say they pay attention to detail! It's great considering outcome and price but you definitely have to be patient. They go as fast as they can but they do not rush and if you try to rush out they'll suggest that you better sit and let dry lol I only try to go there early mornings during the week. It's a small very tight spot 2-3 of them working at a time. You may find them trying to attend to multiple people at the same time but it's worth it if you have the time. Read Less

I checked this place out last Saturday because it's been 2 years since I've pampered myself. Yeah. Intense. Anyway, I chose this place because it was close to my gym and this place has the best reviews around where I live. It is a tiny salon but I arrived around 1:30 and I was the second customer. I waited maybe 10 minutes to get seated. After I sat down, more customers came in so I got there at the perfect time. The door is locked and they do have to let you in. The service is amazing. The two ladies and gentleman who did my mani/pedi/eyebrows were so attentive and nice. I spent about two hours here and it was great cause I was reading the entire time. The price is also the best I've seen. I'm impressed with the price as well as the service. I will definitely be back (maybe even make it a monthly visit!). Read Less

This is a great little salon. They were very friendly and the prices are great!  The lowest I've seen in this area. And they did an excellent job. Also they keep the door locked so you have to be buzzed in. I'm not sure if that's what happened to the other reviewer or not. Read Less

They have TWO signs that say OPEN in the window, including the one that LIT UP. After paying to park and waking a few blocks, I can clearly see that they are doing nails, but their door is locked. They look up to shake their heads to say "no" indicating that they were closed. The kicker part was that I drove in front of the nail salon before parking to see if the "OPEN" sign was on before I paid to park and walked BLOCKS! Smh. Never again. Read Less

They were very nice and welcoming. Took their time. The prices are decent and the service are just great.  It's a family business and their place feels like an around the way place I used to go to in New Jersey. Read Less

This place does not have enough reviews!OKAY, I live in Los Angeles... the LAND of beautification and superficiality. So I know a good manicure/pedicure/wax, etc... and I'm accustomed to paying a decent amount for good work.BUT DC's pricing is nothing short of ridiculous. It's disturbed. I looked into prices for a full set of pink & whites or gel polish and places wanted between $45 and $67!!!! Those are resort spa prices!!!! Absolutely not.I found this place on Yelp and tried it out....VERY IMPRESSED! I got a full set gel manicure and a pedicure for $53 total... prices I'm accustomed to paying, that I think are reasonable. The woman was friendly and they were able to accommodate me immediately when I stopped by at about 5pm on a weekday.I am VERY happy with this place and will be returning. Do not waste your time at an overpriced wannabe boutique so that you can sit waiting to get seated for 45 minutes and get a free champagne flute. This place is no-frills (and on a sketchy block), but WORTH it for pricing and quality. *One thing - they DON'T do pink&whites.THANK YOU King Nails! There is no way in Hell I'm paying $100 for a mani/pedi at another place! Read Less

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone else, but I LOVE hood nail shops. You know those hole in the wall places that can only cater to 2-3 people at a time, plays rap music and the techs try to use African American vernacular? Yea, that really does it for me.I may look high maintenance, but inside I know that looking good doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. And that my $40 pedicure could have cost me $15 somewhere else. Furthermore, I don't feel the need to pay over $10 for a simple manni, anything over $10 is outrageous unless the techs use diamond water to cleanse my hands. You see, I am a DIYer and proud. The DMV made me realize that (1) services are overpriced, (2) attitudes suck and (3) I don't have time for nonsense. So when I need beauty services, I am very careful about where I go. Sure I had to park 5 blocks away and almost get knocked off the sideway by HH goers, but it was all worth it. My tech(s) were a father and daughter team who were efficient and friendly. The facility was clean and they have a lock on the door so the crazies can't enter after they stumble out of bars on H Street. No complaints. The cost for a pedi was $20, and mani $10. $30 for a mani + pedi sounds reasonable to me! Of course champagne wasn't served, or cold water, or sliced fruit, but hey, there are restaurants all over the place on H Street. Get something after your beauty treatment. Oh, and you're welcome in advance. Read Less

I came in around 6:30 PM on a Friday for a pedicure, and since there are only two pedi chairs (both of which were occupied), I ended up waiting some 20-30 minutes. The salon itself is not the nicest to look at, but the pedicure itself turned out great. The nail tech took care to ask me before doing anything - whether cutting, using the razor, filing, etc. - and she did a meticulous job. Everyone was extremely nice and attentive. The nail polish they have on the racks seems a little cheap (no OPI brand here), but I found a color I like and am happy with the job. And at just $20 for a pedi, I'm willing to forgo the fancier trappings of some of the nicer salons in towns. Read Less

This place is pretty dir-tay. It smelled all kinds of funky.My tech made me uncomfortable and didn't do a great job.I won't be returning because my money is better spent elsewhere- I like to leave a nail salon with my nails looking good. Read Less

They do very nice acrylic nails & fill-ins here. I came in for a fill-in after getting some super thick ass nails at Sky Nails on Bladensburg. I prefer my nails to be a bit thinner, and King Nails does a  nice job with thin nails. After three weeks, they are pulling up a bit but they haven't cracked at all. The lady who did my nails was very attentive and careful while applying the acrylic. The nail art isn't amazing.... But in the end I'd rather have my tech focused on, you know, not shaving layers of cuticle skin off with a dremel. She also did a gel wrap over, which was also very thin - but again, has held up well. Very cheap, attentive service, and nicely done nails. Plus they are just really nice - and SUPER convenient to my home. Read Less
