Nails Pizazz in Lanham, MD

Salon was nice and welcoming. I was offered a drink as well. I went in for lashes $40, not impressed but my nails were great. No nicking of my skin or harsh filing. She trimmed my real nails and almost nip me, hence the 4 stars. Also, I think the tech Lucy listened to me and understood what I was asking and required. I will be returning just for nails.

I was DESPERATE on vacation and Kate saved the day. She is amazing!!! So so good!!!!!!

I would not recommend this place at all! It is the worst nail salon I have ever been to in Maryland. I walked in at 1:19 PM to change the color of my polish from gel to dip powder, and get a color change on my toes to match. I spoke to four different people and each time was asked what I wanted. I repeated The services I initially requested to all four people. The fourth person told me after they started to take off my current polish that they would charge me $65 to apply dip for a color change on my nails. Prior to them starting to take off my polish which I only had on for a week no one told me that there would be an up charge for the services I requested and only one person in the shop knew how to do dip powder. I was very upset and the gentleman during my nails was very condescending and rude to say the least. When I inquired as to why I was not informed from the other three people about price changes, he said that the other technicians do not speak English well. I stated that I would no longer require services from them and to just paint my nails clear so I can leave. As he was painting my nails I could clearly hear all three technicians speak in proficient English with their customers I pointed this out to my technician and I did not receive any response or care. I went up to pay and a fifth person who I am assuming is the manager asked me what had transpired and I told her what is stated above

I have NEVER been to a nail salon that did such CRAP work. (Last photo is what I asked for, the first 9 are what I got). My tech's name was Winnie. I paid $75+tax. I'm HOPING tip was not included, 'cause that was Seriously GARBAGE. 1) She pulled out square tips, and when I told her I wanted coffin, she said "I know I know" in an irritated voice, then proceeded to put away the square and pull out the coffin. 2) The tips she sized were too small, which is why my dang nails are too narrow for my fingers. 3) I told her I wanted dark brown. I even showed her the photo. She came back with a burnt orange colour, and told me it would dry dark brown. I told her to get a darker one, but she insisted. Well, she had to go back and try to remove the burnt orange colour because she realized it was -- BURNT ORANGE! Then proceeded to say "I don't know if we have dark brown". Wtf? Then why say you do beforehand? 4) While she was removing the acrylic, I noticed it was gooey and had a scent. Guess what that's an indicator of? MMA! You know... the very cheap chemical that's actually banned in the United States for nail salons to use because it's too abrasive for human skin and the nail bed/matrix... nail salons are supposed to use EMA. 5) When applying the tips, she did a practice hand trick of dipping the tip in monomer then applying glue. This is a great way to chemically burn someone, which is what she did to my right index finger, then proceeded to spray it with alcohol. Like wtf? Alcohol is actually not how you kill that, and makes me wonder if she's even licensed. 6) She got acrylic system all over my hands and fingers. 7) The shaping is massively inconsistent. (Shown in photos) 8) There was a young female working as a receptionist, and Winnie is so blatantly rude to her. Like dude... you can't even allow her to use the bathroom because you want her to take photos of customers sitting in the lobby to make y'all look busy? 9) She uses the same file that she dusts the table off, for your hands. She also doesn't change them between clients, which is a health code violation. 10) Why, walking out, do I have a gap that indicates nail growth, when it's literally a fresh set? Inconsistent application at its finest. 11) Oh, don't give her ANY credit for my cuticles either. She skipped that part of the prep work. You're to remove the dead cells to prevent a set from lifting, but she failed to do that. Probably because my cuticles have a decent shape, but that's not what the prep is about. My cuticles only look good because my fire nail tech from home knows wth she's doing. Clearly Winnie does not. She has a bad attitude. She doesn't talk to you at all, but it's not a language barrier. She rushes the application. She only cares about boosting/photos for her IG. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you want a fire tech out here, check out Bodaciousnails - Ashley Lara. She did get sick, which is why she couldn't do my nails, but at least she has a public license by the state board that you can verify, AND she has QUALITY work for decent price. This same set with Ashley would have cost me $60, not including tip, and I wouldn't have to go to the store to buy acetone to try to get this acrylic system off of my fingers. I have NO IDEA how this nail salon is in business.

The prices are reasonable the staff is great. If you get maybe a gel, or dip manicure it's not actually a manicure they don't clean up your nail beds which is the reason your nails grow out too quickly. They charge extra for things that should Be included in a manicure or pedicure. But other than this the quality of service is great they have a lot of colors and different things from gel to dip to acrylic luxury pedicures and basic ones as well.
