As I sit in the chair at M5 now, I scan say that they have consistently excellent service. Every single time they deliver. This is my 3rd or 4th time here. They always keep my appointment and see me immediately, even if I’m running a little late. The staff is super sweet. They offer champagne, wine, etc.You can tell that the staff here love each other and have good practices.Trinh did my pedi this time and so far I don’t have a single complaint. They even put the towel over my legs since I’m wearing a dress. Very thorough, very professional.

I had an amazing experience getting my nails done. They look just like the picture I brought in. Everyone was nice and friendly. The atmosphere in the shop was very peaceful and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back.

Sunny did a wonderful job on my nails. I showed her the pic of the reviewer Alyssa Ds nails (see reviewers photos) and said I wanted them done just like hers! She nailed it! I will be back!

I’m normally a DIY girl but I wanted a design for my birthday and Sunny delivered.That said, I wish the color was closer to my cuticles because at the rate my nails grow, this will look grown out very quickly. I’ve noticed that a lot of nail techs do this for whatever reason so likely sticking to DIY but happy with the design.

Let me start off with that i was there for 4 hours. my appointment was at 2:30. i asked for acrylic nails at a long length with a simple french tip once i realized they couldn’t do extensive nail art. the entire time the technician was doing my nails the manager was watching over him as if he was being tested as a beginner. this was already concerning. when he finished the base it was decent and i was willing to pay $65 for it. however he then went on to do the french tip & couldn’t do it. he tried at least 5 times on one finger and this took around 30 minutes. he would do it, and then rub it off. over and over. another technician came over to do it for him, but then when he went to fill it in, he made the policy bumpy. these nails looked so big and they did not look shaped. they tried to charge me $115 plus tip. i refused because when i tell you these nails were not worth over $100. they were absolutely terrible and messy. i was devastated. i asked them to remove them. i was there for four hours and left with no nails. they were rough with their work as well. they also continued to blame the look of the nails in the length, however i have gotten long nails for years now and never once have they looked likethis until i went to this place.

I have been coming to the salon over 2 years now and love their work. Sunny is super talented and can bring any main design you want to life. I am a loyal customer and can’t imagine going anywhere else for my manicures!

I absolutely love it here! I am much newer to this salon but Im shocked by the older reviews! I have come three different times in 2022 and this is where I will always go in DC! Ive been looking for a place with a talented nail artist and I couldnt recommend Sunny (@nails_and_sunny) enough!Ive done gel extensions and dip/gel design with her and my nails last 6 weeks, easily, which is UNHEARD of! Ive had major travel, events for work, etc. and the nails stand the test of time. The space is clean and the staff follow COVID-19 protocols, always masked, etc. I love it here and am so grateful a friend recommended it to me!

Hello everyone. I am writing this review while still in the salon, to be honest. Amazing job. Gone here a several times and always have a wonderful experience. The service is quick and all the ladies are friendly. The design is something they take their time on and perfect. They always nail the inspo photo I bring in and always squeeze me in quickly from when I call which is always day of or last minute. Most affordable in the area and high quality job with great care taken to cleaning, filing and shaping the nails. So so friendly. Will continue to come back!

The salon located near my office. just walk and its so convenient. It was my first time and I had Brazilian, gel manicure and pedicure with Chi. She did awesome work!!! I cannot wait to come back on Thursday for same service with Chi. Oh yes, they offer champagne or red wine! :) I suggest the place and Chi to all my friends. My gel on my finger nails and nail polish on my toes are still intact perfectly! Thank you Chi and see you soon!

This is my favorite salon in dc after trying many other popularly rated spots - I’ve been coming here for over a year.

Great experience and great service. I went to David and told he what I was wearing for an event I had coming up and oh boy did he deliver. I decided to try M5 nails esp with their reputation for nail art and Im super super happy my experience. Nails came out looking so nice, David did a really great job with base nail care and the nail art exactly what I asked for and gave helpful recommendations on color and design and he was a fun person to chat with during the experience. Ive had so many compliments on my nails and they have stayed in great shape. They did such a good job and were exactly what I was wanting. Overall, would recommend.

M5 nails is one of my regular go to nail spots in the Washington, DC 20006 are. David did a great job on my sns with matte gel topcoat. They are quick and efficient and I was able to get an appointment the same day I called to inquire. Theyre so professional and extremely polite. Did not have to wait at all to be helped and got a really quality manicure done. The nail techs are very kind and attentive. Definitely recommend trying this place. So happy with these nails and I know they will last at least 3 weeks!

I love this place. Although you definitely have to find your favorite person. Im happy with the results. I go to M5 NAILS to see Lida all the time. She has been my nail tech for almost 3 years and I one thousand percent recommend her. Shes always nice, gentle and her work is amazing. The service was done carefully. The remove of previous nails was well done and didnt ruin my nails. It was very important to me to keep my nail strong. So and I happy with my pedicure too. Lida and Sophy did really good job. Eventually youll find your person. It was great service in new and clean salon. Im going to come back!

Everyone is so kind and meticulous in the best way when working on nails. Sophy was amazing. Fun atmosphere and super clean. I had a ton of creative ideas for my birthday nails and Sophy was made it happen. My birthday nails were so dope. Worth it. Feel free to share your ideas with the techs. They will do their best to give you the best service. The prices are reasonable and you wont get better nail art in the city. Love it here will be back.

Review №52

I have been coming to M5 for almost 2 years. I have never had a bad experience. I see Sunny for my manicures and they are always beautiful. She is so talented and I would not trust anyone else with my nails. Her attention to detail and her talent to create something so beautiful is magnificent. She always makes sure it is something I like and communicates with clients on options for their nail art.The pedicures are amazing as well and reasonably priced. I always get a basic pedi with gel. I have had most technicians service my pedis and all have been great. It does not feel rushed and the polish application has lots of detail so it comes out looking neat and clean. Lots of polish options to pick from and pedicures are very sanitary. am shocked at older reviews! The salon is clean with a calming atmosphere. I am always offered a beverage during my service and the technicians are all very accommodating and helpful.

I have been going to this salon for a long time now (formally called Mimosa Salon) and couldn’t say enough better things. The staff are always so kind, genuinely happy to see you, and do an amazing manicure/pedicure.

I have been coming to this location for years now, I always see Sunny and Sophie for pedicures. Sunny is so incredibly talented she just knows me so well how I like my nails, the shape, the length, and colors I like. I’m so thankful I found her on Instagram years ago. I constantly get compliments on my nails I tell everyone about Sunny because she’s the bomb duh! The pedicure is always amazing as well the candle oil they use to massage is so nice, I’m very picky about my pedicures because I work on my feet a lot and Sophie always does such an amazing job.when she does my feet I never have any in-grown nail pain. Everyone there is pretty amazing, the new management has changed things for better. Give it a try!

Great first time experience. Yuna and Sophy were great. Both were very quick and friendly and conversational. Prices are reasonable especially for the high quality and cleanliness that you get wouldnt go anywhere else in Washington, DC 20006. Yuna and Sophy definitely coming back here especially because I made them stay so late. Was not in a rush to do my services and everything came out perfect. The service here was awesome. I brought them a specific design and they executed it perfectly. I also got a pedicure and its the best one Ive had in a while. Definitely recommend coming here. Yuna and Sophy did such a great job!

I get there 12:50 and they tell me to sit down at pedicure chair, 5 minutes later they tell me that they dont have an appointment for me and I had to get up and leave and come back later on. Im so glad I left, because I found a BEAUTIFUL CLEAN PROFESSIONAL Nail Spa- VENUS on 22 and L street, NW. DONT GO TO MIMOSA

Review №79

Do not come here! This is not under the original staff/team. The charged me $280 for a full set on myy hands and feet!! I had no design. before I sat down I asked for myy previous nail tech (because over the phone they said he was there) they said he was late. Whole time he was never there!! Then they sat me with a woman. Now she was a lovely woman and her customer service was amazing. She really tried to make my experience nice. It gave the impression that she was being forced to not disclose the prices and that they are under new management. 🤷🏾‍♀️And they only disclosed this information after myy nails wasn’t finished. Now I didn’t ask for the price because I didn’t think the were gonna charge me almost 300 for a simple full set. It’s not that I can’t afford it. It’s the principle. And I already knew if I tried to state myy disappointment they would have called the police. Now this happened weeks ago. And I was debating on even posting this but I don’t want this to happen to someone else. Oh and all of the nail polish/powders are expired. They nails only lasted a week. A WEEK!! You can go in and look at the discoloration of the polishes yourself. I’m just so sad they really messed up what the previous team built. Be aware nail family! Oh n PS the nails that I posted are NOT done by them! They were done by the previous staff.

Review №102

Ive been here three times so far and have gotten three gel manicures and one pedicure. Ive been struggling to find a nail salon for a good gel manicure at a reasonable price. Id say $32 isnt too bad for DC. Im not sure if they charge to remove the gel, but I wouldnt be surprised since most salons do. The salon has so many colors to choose from for gel manicures, which is nice because you could go dozens of times and try out a new color every single visit. The first gel manicure was nice, they put on these collagen gloves that moisturize your hands while protecting them from the UV light in the dryer. It held up pretty well, but began chipping about a week and a half in. The second manicure was terrible. I didnt get the gloves and my nails chipped in a few days and the woman who did it didnt paint the whole nail or the top of the nails. However, the third manicure I got seems to be doing pretty well! The lady was great at trimming my cuticles and was very meticulous when it came to painting them. I guess it just depends who you get.As for the pedicure, pretty average, but held up well over time.

Review №105

I usually have a really good experience at mimosa but yesterday I went in and the male technician that I had was not great at all. He was pretty rude to me from the beginning and was ordering me around while getting my nails done. He cut one of my toenails extremely short and when filing I even said ouch and moved it away but he kept cutting and filing the rest the same way. Now I’m up in the middle of the night with my toe throbbing in pain. Not sure what I’m suppose to do as it hurts to even put pressure or any weight on it!!! I also got a gel manicure after the pedi. It looks terrible, the mail polish began to shrink as the nails were drying and I kept having to out but he didn’t say anything to me about it until after all nails were done. He did end up removing a layer and using a different polish. The color was fine but the quality was not great. My nails look super thick and bubbly, like there’s a ton of polish layered on. I used to love coming to mimosa on other occasions and told a lot of friends about them. But I will not be going back to this location or at least beware of the male technician with the eyebrow piercing- he was not good technically, injured me and was not friendly at all. I wish mimosa would do something to make my experience right.

Al
Review №106

Terrible service. I’ve never written a review, but because I know people like and trust other Mimosa salons around the city (me included), I wanted to say something. If there are competent technicians at this location, I have not seen them. I’ve been to this location on a few occasions for pedicures, and every time the work is rushed and sloppy. Yesterday, I went for a pedicure and the technician cut my foot, failed to remove all the nail polish I had on prior so it was sticking out from underneath the lighter new shade applied, and did the sloppiest polish job I have ever received. I asked (and was charged) for callous removal, which was performed dry and inadequately.

Review №108

I am not going to explain everything that I experienced at this salon just now. I will just say horrible customer service from the moment I entered.The woman seemed disturbed that she had to do a customer. She seemed disturbed the entire time she was doing my nails, except for when shes stopped to take selfies of herself. She was rude and rolled her eyes when I couldnt understand what she was saying due to her voice being extremely quiet and her accent. My nails look like I filed them myself. If it wasnt for the professional polish, one would think I did my own nails at home.The people working there were not very friendly. Ok, I have to say what I experienced because it is not good. I made an appointment online. When I went today and said I made an appointment, I was told that Jimmy comes in late and I would have to reschedule. I asked if there was someone else available, because it wasnt offered and people who work there were sitting around. She pointed to a seat. I have never experienced such a low quality of service at a nail salon and I will not be going back. I was not offered even a glass of water.Also if you make an appointment online, I was advised that they do not know. So no one there has either resolved this issue, nor have they taken it down to book an appointment online. They look at you like you are stupid because you made the appointment online. It was just horrible. I have never been treated like that in a nail salon before and I have been going to nail salon for 30 years.They were rude and I couldnt bring myself to leave a tip

Very nice and friendly people working here. They got me in as soon as I arrived with no issues. I give 3 🌟 because they did a mediocre job on my nails. Definitely wasnt as good a job as the person who previously did them. I personally wouldnt go here unless I needed something very basic.

This is the absolute WORST place to get your nails done. Avoid at all cost. And they have the nerve to be expensive! I’ve paid a total of 110 for my full set and pedicure and within a week have been to the shop to get 6 of my nails repaired. And no I don’t work a tedious job that involves my hands I work in an office and sit at a desk all day. The initial tech who did my nails took forever due to the 8 breaks he took to smoke and eat. And when I came to get my nails repaired they charged me even though it had only been a week. 5 dollars a nail per repair and the technicians who fixed them didn’t even make them even. This is the worse nail shop in DC and super expensive. Do not waste your money or time. I will be getting my nails redone this weekend.

This was the worst salon I have ever been to. I paid $80 dollars for gel manicure with regular pedicure and it was a waste of money. My gel nails started peeling after 2 days and now it’s been a week and they are all coming off . I don’t now if it’s the nail polish they use or if it’s because they only put it under the lamp once even after I asked if they could do another layer. I am never coming back and won’t recommend this salon to anyone.

Ive been here several times, as the prices are generally a bit lower than elsewhere. Service is pretty standard, there have been a couple of instances where my fingers/toes were cut but mistakes do happen! Got gypped on my most recent visit though, the tech charged for a Mimosa pedicure which I very definitely did not receive!

I do not recommend going to Mimosa Salon. There were very little covid precautions in place. The salon was dirty, tools were being used without being washed, gloves were removed during my manicure, and there was very little social distancing. I’m not sure the health department has ever visited this place even prior to COVID-19.My nail technician was on the phone two different times & on speaker. He kept looking away while using the drill on my nails causing a nick.Additionally I was charged more than the price listed online.My nails are decent, but the experience was awful and there’s places with better results and a cheaper price.

Review №128

Some of the technicians are way worse than others. Fingers crossed that you get a decent one 😐 Ive tried them 3 times and 3rd strike, youre out. The first time it was so terrible that I went back for them to do it over - bad idea. Even worse idea - going back again. This time the technician starts by quickly cutting off all of my nails without asking, so that he has less work to do. When informed that that was absolutely not requested, his response - Come back in a month when the nails grow back. No apology or acknowledgement or anything. Needless to say, I wont be going back in a month.

Review №130

DONT DO IT! This is my third or fourth time going to Mimosa and this experience killed it for me. Usually I go to the other locations in Dupont but came to this location to fix ONE broken nail. The guy who did my nails rushed and was not nice AT ALL. He ended up skipping layers on my gel manicure and now FOUR of my own are breaking. Two of them have completely broken in half and I got my nails done a WEEK AGO. Literally 7 days ago. It’s not like I’m doing anything that would cause my nails to break either.P.S if you do go, WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND, do not let the guy with the gemstone jewelry touch your nails.

Their work use to last forever. But lately the technicians have been speeding through appointments and it’s starting to show. Last week I went in for a gel powder manicure. It literally popped off a week later. $45 dollars down the drain. Beware!!!

The girl who did my nail was always on the phone. She was so rude. I was really offended . She would ask me to turn my hand with her finger.... and at the payment she charged me $80 for pedi-manicure, while I booked on the wed site an appointment for $60 . It wasn’t worth arguing , it is limit she was abusive . Done waist your money . They are awful ....

This is my first time writing a review, but I had too nexuses for the price I paid ($45) to get my nails done, one of my nails just popped off! Today is October 5, 2018 and I got my nails (SNS powder) done on September 28, 2018; it’s been 7 days. SNS powder is supposed to last and usually last me 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. Why did my nail pop off? Why are 6 of my other nails loose and coming off? I have the slightest clue. I have not been rough with my hand at all. The only thing I can think of is the poor quality of material they have. I will NEVER be back here ever again. I’m so sad because now I have to find somewhere else to get my nails done before I go out of town. Be ware! Don’t get SNS done here!

Im a nail girl, so a place that offers champagne while youre getting pampered cant be beat! M-F They have a nail happy hour fo gel manis $27. I personally prefer a gentlemen to do my mani/pedi because in my experience theyre more attentive and detailed. Sometime my gel manis wont last two weeks, but my pedicures always do. I wouldnt suggest going on the weekend unless you HAVE to. They also have another location on 18th which is a little bigger.

WORST experience ever. Someone answered the phone and could not speak English yet I asked to talk with someone else. I got to the nail shop, and over the phone I was told I would pay $45 for acrylic nails WITH powder. My nail lady then told me that it would be $55. After asking the manager she also told me $55 also and knew the lady who answered the phone in the morning couldn’t speak or understand English either. Poor service. And on top of all this, my nail lady coughed over my champagne. Unacceptable.

This is the worst manicure i have ever gotten. They charged me 50$ for a fill and while i was there my nail artist was just straight up rude to me. Ignoring me and yelling at me if i did something wrong. Also it was gel acrylic and they didn’t last. Don’t go here

Hit or miss. If you get a good technician, it’s worth the price. If you get one of the rushed, hasty ones, good luck! Also had to walk away twice due to them leaving the station dirty (as in cuticles and nail clippings everywhere and the same set of tools out, etc.).

Review №163

I went here because i saw they had 4 stars, i am not sure why that is :(. I paid $50 for a gel fill + tip, only for 1 nail to start chipping away at just 3 days and the next one chip 2 days after that. I did go and get the 1st one fixed but just gave up getting the 2nd one fixed. Secondly, I get on a Thursday that a nail salon can get busy (so it is loud in general) but it is extremely rude for the staff to be sitting next to a client being loud and obnoxious so they can talk to their other coworker who is working on someone elses nails. If I do not want to be paying 50+ dollars to be in the middle of a conversation literally and uncomfortable.3rd- the place was filthy and damaged, it did not look clean and polished like the pictures.
