Dream Nails Lounge in Sterling, VA

I came in as a walk in. On two women in the salon. One was already doing a customer's nails. There was a much older woman who asked what I wanted. I explained my grandson was getting married that weekend and would like my nails done. I figured I'd get a manicure and then she'd start to jazz up my nails. I explained my dress was gold. She pulled a muted gold color off the nail polish shelf and had me sit in the chair. She didn't file my nails nor trim my cuticles- nothing. She then applied gel solution, put me under the lights and painted my nails 3-4 times in succession. Again, doing nothing to shape my nails, clip my jagged cuticles or make them look better. I paid $35 plus tip because I felt sorry for a old woman, who I felt was there to make some extra money for herself. I came home and clipped back my own cuticles and pulled the gell solution out of the sides of my nail beds attempting to make the nail job look better I had paid $35.00 for. I could have paid $35.00 plus tip and gotten a professional looking nail job elsewhere. DREAM NAILS Is NOT the place to get your nails done , especially for a important occasion and walk out excited about how your nails look! I'll go somewhere else to get them redone for the evening wedding on Saturday.

I've been here 3 times. The first two times were awesome. However, this time (different nail tech than the other two times) I was told that they don't do powder dips, but apparently they DO as I've been reading other reviews of people who have gotten this done here. Additionally, I got a French gel mani - it's only been about 5 days and it started slightly chipping after 2 days at the tips (these are my own nails, not long, and I haven't been rough with my hands at all!) Not sure I'll be going back here, unfortunately

First time customer. Walked in and, despite it being a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty empty. Didn't need an appointment. Mary did my nails. She did a great job. I had a picture of the color I wanted and she tried it out on me before she started which was nice. Mary was very nice and did a fantastic job. Easy to talk to and very pleasant. Gel manicure was only $35. Definitely will return!

Asked for hotter water four times and watched her top it off 1/4in each time because my artist didn't want to empty and re-fill the tub. After the third request I was outright ignored. After she sliced my cuticle with her first set of tools, I asked for my nails to be cut a bit shorter twice, she filed down one single nail each time I asked and left the rest the same length, trying keep me from looking each time. I asked three different ways and finally gave up. Was charged full price for a half done job where I didn't even get polish put on. I work customer service and I can't imagine being this careless with my paying customers. So incredibly disappointed. Don't waste your money.

they did not do a great job with my nails. They didn't even do any cuticle work. They do not know how to correctly apply acrylic. Their paint job was awful as there are bubbles on my nails.
