Acqua Nails is the best nail salon in DC. I've been going for years and I've never had a problem. Every single person working there is super nice and friendly. Most notable, is Linh, who has gone above and beyond with me over the years. She bends over backwards to accomodate my crazy schedule, and always makes sure I look my best! Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking my daughters, now teens, to aqua nails since they were in PK, we have never, in all these years had anything less than a superb experience. The technicians are skilled, kind, gentle and efficient. My husband now comes with us and wonders why he waited so long. The facility is clean and the employees are lovely

I've been going for many years for pedicures and lip waxes. My go to person now is Laura, who is gentle and careful. She does a nice job and the price is reasonable and the location convenient for me.

I have been twice, once to get acrylic nails, and once to get the acrylic nails removed. The woman who removed the acrylic nails today pried them off my fingers brute-force style without soaking them in acetone first. After two weeks since the acrylics were applied, the nails had gotten loose, but it still hurt and my nails look and feel choppy and damaged now. This was my first time getting acrylics, so during the procedure I didn't know that this was not standard. But it felt wrong so I did some online research, and apparently this is NOT how acrylic should be removed. She also had me pay halfway through the procedure, which felt like she expected me to run out on her. I didn't much like the transaction being handled that way. Overall, if I ever do get acrylics again, I will not be getting them (or having them removed!) at Aqua nails.

The staff member named phi-phi did a mediocre pedicure and proceeded to quote me with the price of my services, she didn’t say that to anybody else, I dismissed the second looks when I patronize this establishment as I am usually the only black woman in the business receiving services, I will no longer patronize the business .

I've been going for ten years and had my first bad set of acrylics last week (too thick and chrome was off), I called an hour lasted asking to come back in and fix and they said I could come whenever but next morning worked best for my schedule. I came in and they took a look and fixed them super quickly and they look gorgeous now. I'll stay a loyal customer for this reason!! They acknowledged their mistake and were super quick and kind about fixing the issue. I also love that parking is free in the back. I will keep recommending acqua to friends. I high recommend Kathy next time you go as well!!

such a convenient location with a parking lot right next door!! the staff r v friendly and work very quickly but at the same time r v careful and precise. i had a set of outgrown acrylics which i got done messily at a different nail salon and they fixed and filled them here beautifully. i also got a regular pedicure and they did a great job matching the color 2 my gel manicure. lastly i got a sideburns, baby-hair, mustache, eyebrow, full arms, full legs, chest, back, and brazilian wax which was the most painless process i’ve ever had waxing and went super smoothly. the total was $227($60 4 the french acrylic fill manicure, $37 4 the regular pedicure, and $130 for the full body waxing) which i was able to pay via apple pay plus a 20% or $45.40 tip (which the staff accept via venmo) will definitely b coming back 4 more!! thank youuu!!Services: Nail art

I went in to get a regular polish change and the lady who tended to me had an attitude right off the bat. She got upset when I first paid via CC and gave me a nasty stare. Then when I told her what colors I want she said no to one of them because it was dry. I asked if she could put acetone in it and after she did she said it was still unusable. I told her I don’t mind but she yelled at me and said, ‘I told you no.’ I said fine but then the rest of the experience was extremely awkward and uncomfortable for me. She demonstrated very poor customer service and the nail polish should never have been on the stand to begin with if it was dry or needed a replacement. I really like this nail salon and think they do a great job overall but this individual’s manner was highly unprofessional. If you don’t like your profession, then leave.Service: Nail polish changes

Acqua is a great salon and Kathy is the best nail tech I've found in DC. I tried several salons after moving here three years ago and have been extremely happy with Kathy for over a year. She is very detailed and my manicures last 3-4 weeks. The salon is clean, they offer a nice choice of colors and parking is convenient. Highly recommend!

Best gel manicure I've ever gotten. I've gotten one from several different manicure artists at this location and they've been exceptional every time and last much longer than any other gel manicure I've received. Highly recommend!!Services: Pedicure
