Touch Nails & Spa in Front Royal, VA

Gf and I came here for pedicures about a month and a half ago, 3 weeks before a trip to the Caribbean. They did such a fantastic job that a basic pedicure lasted until just a few days ago! Will definitely be back!!

After a long day of shopping, Lin and I decided to find a massage place as she being pregnant and my flat feet don't mix for a day of shopping. So we yelped this place and the reviews were good. Lin called while en route and made sure they could take us. Lin wanted to go last as she wanted to change for dinner. They insisted she go first, no problem as lady's first. While waiting on Lin, the staff keep pointing and laughing at me while speaking in Vietnamese and using a few English words. I could tell they didn't want to massage me, guess I look like a bald pervert or something. At least that is what their body language demonstrated to me. Then the staff asked if I would like a foot massage instead, claiming the rooms were booked. I declined and decided to not waste my money or any more of my time -- plus I don't like being made fun of in any language! After telling my wife about my experience, she said there were plenty of rooms. I hope others will read this review and not go here.

I've been here a couple of times for a Brazilian wax and consider this place my go-to place for a Brazilian. I usually call ahead of time and never have to wait. The one time I just showed, it was a bit of a wait (30-45 min). This is not a fancy, upscale spa, so don't come here expecting that. I like it though, because I get what I need and quality service at a good price.

I called ahead and scheduled an appointment for a Shellac French manicure and this is what I received. My nails looked nice when they were all done. What I didn't anticipate during my appointment was the extremely low-key, almost unprofessional, staff. There was a lot of teasing and inside jokes going on amongst the staff which left me a little uncomfortable. It didn't give the feel of a "spa", but that of a classroom of high school girls. There was a considerate level of cleaning that I witnessed, which did impress me. When I was done and told my total, that left me surprised. There is a $5 surcharge for not being an existing customer. I was told that if I came back without going elsewhere, I wouldn't be charged that $5 again. REALLY? That is the most ridiculous penalty fee I've ever heard. The process doesn't change...and no extra work on her part was required. If you are going to go there, take your existing gel polish off first to avoid the fee.

I really like Spa 1 Nails, because of the clean crisp atmosphere. The nail artists are very competent and make you feel completely relaxed. Everything is in great condition, which is nice. I always like to feel that a place is well kept up. Also, the prices are more than reasonable for what you get. Anyone wanting a girls day, a day free from the kids, or preparing for a special occasion should look into Spa 1 Nails.
