Nail Salons in Langley Park

Chipped nails, short nails, uneven nails?the techs at Solar Nails are skilled at taking ragged tips and turning them into glossy, colorful digits. For a little extra pizazz, the team can enhance nails with glitter polish, polka dots, or another chic design, or coat each nail in Shellac polish, which resists chips for days longer than traditional nail lacquer. In addition to classic mani-pedis, the nail spa also offers acrylic nail services, as well as pampering extras like skin-softening paraffin wax treatments.

The technicians at Nail Perfection cosset tootsies with the soothing heat of hot stones before polishing all 20 digits with high-quality hues. First, foot-fringe steeps in a warm bath to soak up hydration and the remnants of one dissolved gummy bear. Next, technicians trim and shape nails, and then hot stones radiate gentle heat through fatigued feet to relax their teeniest muscles. Once nail caretakers have finished buffing away rough skin and calluses, they crown fingers and toes with a selection from a rainbow of hues, including fiery reds, subtle pinks, and old-cheese greens.

Laura Leakhena Ley is living proof of what you can accomplish with a little hard work. After moving to American from Cambodia with her family, she trained at Hayward College of Cosmetology and became a licensed nail technician and aesthetician, and then spent five years perfecting her techniques in other salons. When she and her husband, David, opened Orchid Nails, they had only two employees. Since then, that number has more than quadrupled as customers continue to pour in, thanks to the salon’s reputation for friendly service and strict sanitation standards. Those standards include disposing of every file, buffer, slipper, and toe separator after nail services, which end with the customer’s choice of more than 1,000 colors of polish by OPI, China Glaze, and Essie. They take equal care when waxing away hair from chins, sideburns, and bodies, or while threading it away from brows and lips or onto balding teddy bears. Facials scrub and steam away imperfections such as blackheads, while massage services soothe away tension and muscular congestion with techniques ranging from deep-tissue pressure to reflexology.

The certified professionals at Alight Spa believe that spa treatments should rejuvenate guests by nourishing their mind and spirit, in addition to their body. The staff soothes all three by relieving stress, diminishing headaches, and boosting circulation with massage styles, such as Swedish, deep tissue, and scalp. The spa's steam-sauna sessions detoxify bodies and hydrate skin, and body wraps slim and soften clients with mixtures of herbs and minerals. Skin undergoes more reinvigoration with facials and chemical peels, during which cleansings, massages, and moisturizers clear up acne, even out pigmentation, and reduce wrinkles. The staff administers each procedure with a stock of professional products from brand-name manufacturers, such as Dermalogica, whose wares are also available for purchase.

The artfully weathered wood walls at Lalu'a Nails and Spa lend the space a rustic charm that's balanced out by bright red leather pedicure chairs, which invite clients to kick back and dip their feet into the bubbling footbaths. Once clients choose a color from the rainbow of nail-polish options on the wall, they settle into a cushioned chair for manicures that can include creative and intricate nail-art designs. Whether they're performing mani-pedis or waxing treatments, the attentive staff helps guests relax while they beautify their skin and nails.
