Friendly, welcoming, professional staff, a relaxing atmosphere, overall cleanliness, and health and safety practices with all instruments used on their customers add up to quality service and a wonderful experience. Worth my drive! Highly recommend you give them a try!“

“I’ve been going to Kim at Inspire Nail Bar for a few years now and she’s just the best! Friendly and super talented…her designs are unreal! I’d definitely highly recommend Kim!!!“

“my nails are lumpy, uneven, and just completely different sizes and shapes. i went in for a color change and had the same lady as the first time i went. i thought maybe she had an off day the first time, so i gave her the benefit of the doubt, but it was just as bad. she also let gel cure on my skin multiple times and left it under my nails as well. not at all the quality i expect from a salon (see photos for evidence). additionally, i was informed over the phone that my appointment would be 20 dollars, then once it’s done they charged me 32! they said it was because i did gel and not regular, but that was not made clear at all. their only saving grace was their coworker who instructed them that it was in fact $20. i had already paid, and instead of a refund, they gave me a 12 dollar gift card, which i won’t use as i likely will not be returning after the service i received. maybe the other nail techs are better, but in general, i would not recommend.

edit: their customer service is amazing!! Judy reached out to me personally and not only refunded me for the color change, but also offered me to get my nails done again. she checked in with me multiple times about the shape and color, and she nailed it! not only was she technically skilled, but she was also very kind and understanding. i’m very happy they offered a second chance, it turned out great :) I definitely recommend finding a nail tech you personally enjoy, and if you don’t like it the first time, be open to trying again with someone new!“

“Went to Bliss today… I can’t say enough about the service and skill of the gentleman I had… pure perfection and professionalism… I will be back and tell everyone I know from the area…“

“Tina is the best of the best! Every time I see her, I am reminded why she has been my go to girl for the last 10 years. She is so thorough and my nails are always flawless.“

“Love pro nails so much! Amy is the best nail tech ever! I go to her all the time and she does my nails and eyebrows perfectly! Make sure to ask for her!“

“Staff are very professional and kind. Family, women owned business that provides amazing service!“

“I've been coming here from Baltimore City since I was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and was looking for somewhere nice and clean. This was the first place I knew that used a liner in the tub, disposable buffers and along with sanitized tools. Snow, Henry, and other technicians have always been very kind. And if you catch them when they are not too busy, they give a little extra attention!“

“Van and staff very professional.
I love this nail salon! Very friendly staff clean salon Van is the best one she takes care of me custom nail art. I have been going here from many years for manicure and pedicure appointments and have never been disappointed.
Will recommend this place for any nail, mani , pedicure and waxing services. Lakshmi

Requested style: I like the manicure better than any where else.“
