"This place was truly amazing they normally schedule by appointment only but we were able to get in as a walk in, they were extremely accommodating and did a wonderful job with my pedicure and my boyfriend we are very happy with the services especially since were not from DC but Chicago and were able to get in on such short notice. Next time I’m in DC I’ll be sure to stop by again!!"

"DO NOT GO AND AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Absolutely terrible. First of all, don't just show up, because no one will be there. You have to call the number posted on the front door and then wait. I ended up just scheduling a later appointment. That should have been the first red flag. My acrylic set didn't last two weeks after he did them and I was charged $150 for a regular set + gel pedi. Overpriced and not worth it. When I asked him to fix, he refused! Terrible service and I will not be returning. P.S. If you're looking for a good nail spot, V Nails in Columbia Heights is a MUCH better option. I should have just made the trip!"

"DO NOT GO HERE. My nails looked terrible. I went in on the Saturday before Valentine's Day and this is what I got. The man didn't know what he was doing as he used Gel top coat (yes top coat, not the typical stuff salons use for dip) and had me put my hands under the light after each dip. This burnt the coloring of the powder in some areas. After clearly being upset, he told me it'd be $120 for this and a simple polish change on my toes (and didn't even file down my toenails). The pictures speak for themselves."

"REVIEW FOR HAIRCUT - I didn't want to write this review, yet I feel I have no other recourse. I would also like to make others aware of my experience. I found Tommy through Groupon about a year or so ago, and he did a fantastic cut and color for me. I then returned to my less expensive stylist, who is reliable yet not spectacular. I decided to return to Tommy when he sent notification that the salon had reopened after the pandemic and that discounts were available. I'm flabbergasted that things went so awry during this visit. He told me that the full amount would be $210, with $75 for the cut. That seemed a bit on the high side, especially as discounts had been offered, yet I agreed to it as I was changing my color. Together, we decided that his cut would follow the U shape that the ends of my long hair were already in, and that he would cut off as little as possible. He even held his finger and thumb about an inch and a half apart to show me the amount, and I agreed to it. Oddly when compared to my previous experience, he began cutting my hair while it was dry, before applying the color. I don't remember the cut coming before the color or having a cut done when my hair was dry during my many visits to several salons, including my previous appointment with Tommy. I felt like he was cutting a little high in my length of hair and cutting too much off, yet I naively decided it was probably fine. When he was finished, he used a hand mirror to show me the back of my hair while I was in the chair with the cloth cover still on. In that position, it was difficult to tell the length. Just as I told him it was fine, I caught that the strands were asymmetrical from one side to the other and had been cut too sharply, into more of a sloppy V shape than a smooth U shape. When he left to mix the color, I felt my hair and pulled it forward, discovering to my horror that he had cut off roughly THREE TO FOUR INCHES instead of the agreed upon about an inch and a half. Looking in the mirror, I also noticed that the cut was very choppy and the ends were flyaway. I immediately went to him to request the hand mirror and used it myself to look at the back of my hair. I sadly confirmed what I thought I had seen before, that the cut was asymmetrical, sloppy, too short, and more of a V shape than a U shape. I was very sad and disappointed, yet anger hadn’t yet surfaced. As such, I told him what I had seen and that I would pay for the cut, yet I was no longer interested in the color. At first, he tried to tell me that he hadn’t cut that much off. When I was firm that I was leaving, his position changed to that he wasn’t done with the cut and that he planned to shape it up after he was finished with the color. He implored me to sit back down and allow him to fix it. I did so hesitantly. His scissor strokes seemed unsure and he kept repeating that he wasn’t cutting more off—hmmm, if you’re taking scissors to my hair, what else are you doing?! When he was done, I let him know that I was still very unhappy. I again offered to pay for the cut and declined to continue with any further services. I wish I would have asked him for a price reduction at the very least, yet I was close to tears and I didn’t want to argue with him. I even gave him a tip as I know some folks will fight you if you don’t—at least I made it smaller than my usual tips! So, congratulations to Tommy for making $85 for a few minutes of hacking my hair into a mess. My most recent experience indicates that if you have long hair and want to keep it, go to Hai Gloss and Tommy at your own peril!"

"It was horrible and I would never go back. Not the money’s worth. I’m concerned with the hygiene also as the lady who did my mani and pedi dropped the tools on the floor a couple times and every time she dropped she would take out used ones from the drawer in her reach and used them on my nails. The coloring is not even and the polish is not smooth. she left something stuck underneath but wouldn’t redo it. She didn’t clean the side cuticles after the coloring is done as shown in the pic."
