LISA NAILS & SPA in Waldorf, MD

am a regular customer here. But after my experience today, I will never be going to this establishment again. I just came in for my regular acrylic fill and wanted to get a pretty simple Christmas design. Before, I even started the service, I asked Lisa can she do the design. She told me she could and I trusted her because she has done pretty decent designs in the past. So, I show her my design which had a snowflake and like a gold flaky underlay. I figured that it may be difficult to do the gold flaky underlay so I told her I just wanted a clear underlay. She convinces me she can do the gold flaky underlay so I allow her to try. She continues to blot on a ton of glitter mixed with acrylic dip and it looks A HOT DAMN MESS!!! I wish I took a picture to post just how crazy it looked. It looked as if a kindergartener was trying to do arts and craft project on my damn nails. She really just played in my nails. The worker that was preparing my nails for Lisa looks at the disgust in my face and asks if I like it and I tell him directly "no, this is a mess". So she makes him spend an extra 45 minutes scrubbing off the layers of glitter and acrylic dip mixture of a mess off my nails. Then, Lisa comes up to my face and tells me she's not doing my design anymore. (She's the only person in the place that can really design). But, the worker (such a sweetheart) that was doing my nails offered to do my snowflake design (he never designs) and it comes out AMAZING!! I was very proud of his work. Honestly probably better than what she was going to do. He saves my day. I was there for over 2 hours when the service is usually under a hour. The whole time I was there she is talking about me to all her workers in her language. I think they honestly was on my side because they saw how crazy it looked themselves but was too afraid to say anything because Lisa is the owner. But, hey I guess it's hit and miss just like any nail salon. After, she showed me her true colors, I will be taking my money to a better establishment.

Lisa try to take on more than she can chew. She's a lair!!! I thought I was getting my nail done by her. She put one of her worker to do my pedicure. I spend 2 hours just to find out she was over booked. She never plan on doing my nails. She is not the original own of this nail salon. The other Lisa would have never did this to any of her customer.

Although I love her work I feel a bit rushed and not always listened to. At first I thought it was a fluke but with every visit my nails have always lifted. The last time I went there was someone there that had fungus. I thought to myself, "that must suck" no way it'll happen to me. I decided to go back to a different nail salon closer to home today (I have been to them before but was looking for a place that could do designs) and had them remove the acrylic so that I can get dip instead. As they were soaking my nails off I started to see a dark spot on my right middle finger but thought maybe it was old nail polish . Well , turned out to be fungus. I've never had this happen to me. I decided to let my nails breathe and the sweet young lady recommended a fungal medicine for me to purchase. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back to this establishment. Very sweet people but after this fungus, I'm moving on. I'm sad because I really liked her designs.

Second time here and I love Lisa. She does have a wait but worth every minute. Prices are great especially for her creative abilities. I can show her a design and she will recreate it. Happy happy joy joy!

I went to Lisa Nails and Spa on Thursday afternoon, 7/13 for a Basic Manicure and Pedicure for the first time. The pedicure is as basic as they come, a slight scrub with a pumice stone, I had to request that my nails be trimmed. My feet were ashy when I left, because the woman used a minuscule amount of lotion, Shown in picture. On Saturday, I had to return to shop because my nails had chipped so terribly on my right hand. It was done over. On Monday, 7/17, less than a week after spending over $50.00, I called Lisa to let her know how terribly my manicure turned out. I asked her for the manicure money back. She said, no refund, I could come over to have it redone. Here's the thing, why would I go back when they did such a terrible job, twice. She explained that regular manicures don't last long. I responded, granted, but it wasn't even 1 week. My take is this, they want to upsell Gel Manicures and Pedicures, they want people to pay more, but, it's Bad business practice. If I want a basic mani/pedi, it should last at least a week. There are other reviews about this very issue. I wish I had checked the Reviews before going there.
