Long Nails & Spa in Fredericksburg, VA

They are super sweet here!! I came in late to my appointment right before closed and the staff stayed an extra hour after close to do my nails. Krystal did a phenomenal job, I asked her to surprise me and i've never been happier with a set. Good prices and amazing service:)

I came in on a Wednesday to get a fill and a day later the gel peeled off 3 of my nails, one of my nails chipped, and a nail came off altogether. I came back in the next day to get it fixed and they wanted to charge me an ADDITIONAL $30 to fix and change the color. The woman said the color I chose does that on acrylic nails. Why on earth would I put the SAME color that is peeling off on my nails to have the same problem. I'm basically paying the same price for a fill and gel color to correct a mistake they made because they are using old products. No thank you, I'll go somewhere else and have my nails done the RIGHT way. Terrible customer service and they could not care less

I read the mixed reviews and decided to give this place a chance anyways since the instagram pics are so nice. I went at 6 and they close at 7 so that was probably my first mistake. The pedicure was alright but looking at the paint now, it is not great. And the tech kept suggesting gel when I said I wanted regular polish. I really dislike when nail techs are pushy but other than that she was super nice. I got a fill which started a little before 7 and once all of the acrylic was on, I offered to come back tomorrow so that they did not have to stay late (and rush). They insisted I stay and they could get it done no problem. The acrylic was thick and the apex was in the middle of my nail instead of closer to my cuticle. I was not even asked the shape I wanted and told the tech I wanted sharp square. I kept asking for the nails to be filed so they look straight instead of curved and eventually showed her how to do what I was talking about. I have never done that in a salon before but I am so tired of not being happy with the shape. She filed it down as best she could and got another tech to help as well. All in all the shape and thickness are not consistent, they only applied one coat of the gel color. They were patient with my requests. I think one tech was recording me at some point since I was the only one left. I am wondering who the tech was that is doing the beautiful work on instagram. Mine are the sage green nails for reference. The others are from their instagram.

I love the color of my nails and I am okay with how they turned out but since when did nail salons stop caring for the cuticle?! No prep was done before hand except buffing the mail bed. No cuticle oil was applied either. Just overall disappointed with the service, hope they don't leave every one walk out like this.

On Saturday, May 21th, I entered the salon and noticed no customers. I had a gel manicure and pedicure at the same time. I had two people working on me. A elderly man worked on my nails. First, he was electrically filing them two hard and I cried out 2 times. My nails (with tips) lasted 2 days before they started to chip and break. This cost me $95. I think because of the economy, lack of employees and even customers, that they are not doing quality work. Go forward, I have resigned to teach myself to do my own nails via Youtube. Also there are so many new products which I can use which will be much cheaper and less painful than my visit to Long Nails. The era of artificial nails is over for me.
