Wisteria Beauty in McLean, VA

I was getting my car check around the area, and decided to go kill time by getting my nails done. There was a nail salon across the street from the car repair spot. However, this place has better reviews. So, of course, expectations are high. I took a 7 mins walk to the spot, the place is small and cozy. Something about me before I explain why I gave this place 1 star. I never go get my nails done because I feel like it is a waste of money, and I can just do it at home. I also hate gel because of the way it leave my nails looking and feeling after I take them off, and in my personal opinion, I don't think they are good for your nails. Okay, so I have a particular design I wanted to do. But they can only do the design if I do gel, which is cool, I'm not gonna argue and was fine with regular manicure because that is what I asked for. This manicurist was coughing a storm every now and then. She was so aggressive while cutting my cuticles or what I would like to call my "very tender skin", she made me bleed on my right thumb and apologized. Okay, that was fine. Then she made me bleed again on my left thumb and apologized. Like, at this point, I'm running out of non-bleeding thumbs. Lol. Anyways, my thumbs are burning and I just sat there and wish I was done already. Im an introvert, so I hate confrontation. So I took the L, and I'm writing this review because they will never see me again and I want other to be aware. I'm gonna give the nail salon the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was just that lady that is not great at what she does and is inconsiderate. After all, her coworker did tell her to put on the mask to prevent spreading whatever she has. But my manicurist stated that she doesn't want to because she doesn't like the way it feels and that she can't see properly with them on. Well if I get sick, then thanks lady... lol I just realized that I paid someone to make me bleed and potentially get sick.

Wonderful experience at Wisteria beauty. Got gel manicure. Technician was a perfectionist and made sure my cuticles looked perfect. She also noticed I had sensitive skin and adjusted without me asking to different tools. Love my mani. Couldn't be happier. Definitely book a reservation on a weekend. Was very busy.

I'm staying at a nearby hotel, called for dipped nails and pedicure. They fit me in 90 minutes later on a busy day. Vivian did an excellent job. If I'm in the area again, I'll be back.

I've been getting my nails done at Wisteria monthly since May 2022 and I've consistently had great service! I highly recommend Sophia and Kelly. Both ladies have done my and my daughter's nails (manicures and pedicures), and we've been happy each time. This is our favorite place! To chill!

I took my daughter here for her 5th birthday for a mani/pedi and got a pedi for myself. The techs were so sweet and accommodating and let my daughter spend lots of time picking out stickers for her nails. They have so many colors to choose from and their chairs were super comfortable. It was pretty easy to make bookings online, but I struggled to select both a mani and a pedi at the same time under the kids' section. I ended up calling to confirm afterward, just to make sure we allotted enough time. My daughter's already asking to go back again!
