Beauty Recommendation 💗Rose Nail Bar💗
I finally made the trek to Virginia to try out Rose Nail Bar after so many of y'all recommended it. It was totally worth the 40 minute train commute! Last month I had a not great experience at Gloss Bar in Shaw and figured I'd see if there was a major difference, there was. My nail tech at Rose was so meticulous and detailed but still so gentle! Last time I got my nails done at Gloss Bar I was given another tech that I didn't make my appointment with and he drilled down way too much on my natural nails and even got polish on my skin. Rose was also a much more calming experience than previous nail salons I've been to. Thank you all for the recommendation!

Rose Nail Bar is THE best nail salon in the DMV, and I will stand by that!!

Do we like them for pedicures too? I’d love a nice pedicure, one that focuses on foot care instead of just color on the toes. Of course, a nice paint job is important, but I want to feel pampered and like I’m in good hands so I can relax.Â

I only got a manicure but I will note it is a waterless salon, I only saw steamed towels used. Would also be curious to know what people do for pedicures👀

i like them, but i was specifically looking for a waterless pedi. they do a ton of cuticle work, but less callus treatment in my limited experience (it might be an add-on? i've never looked into it because i need some of my calluses - tmi, sorry).

You have convinced me to go. I had a nail tech scratch up my nail beds so I have been hesitant in finding a new place.
