Aliya is the absolute best! She does perfect manicures, pedicures, and creates beautiful nail art. Not to mention the fact that she is the sweetest person. I look forward to every day I get to come in and spend time there!

Horrible Nail and Facial Service I wanted to start off by saying, I was really excited to go to this nail salon from everything I’ve heard about this place. I came 30 minutes early to my 1:00 pm appointment just to find out around 1:20pm, that my nail technician wasn’t coming. I was very upset because I had to put…

I just experienced the SLOWEST gel pedicure and manicure of my life time. My nail technicians name was “Nha”. I think she must be a new nail tech because she seemed very inexperienced particularly with how to remove gel nail polish. That process took so long I wanted to run out of there. With no exaggeration, my…

I cannot say enough great things about this gem of a salon. I am the most particular person I know when it comes to my nails and Aliya has been my go-to for my nails for almost 4 years now- I've followed her to multiple salons, but this is by far my favorite one! Now I get my haircut there by Hava, eyelash…

Update: I returned for regular maintenance and I had an amazing time again! Yvonne takes such good care of me, and she has great attention to detail. She saw a part that she didnt like in my 'after' photos and invited me back to fix it. She really is great and very talented! I trust her absolutely to keep my hair…

I lived in DC for three years and spent about 1.5 of those years looking for a solid mani/pedi. Aliya at Cavalry is truly an artist at her craft. While providing a fantastic customer experience, one always feels appreciated when taking business there. If it made sense to drive 6 hours round trip for a mani/pedi from…

I have been attending this salon for manicures and pedicures for over two years now and every experience I’ve had has been AMAZING! The entire establishment is very peaceful and CLEAN. The sanitization of all the stations, wash bowls, and equipment used is overall superb! I love going to this salon because every…
