Color Touch Hair and Nail

It was an amazing experience. I arrived at 11 am with my significant other for a mani and pedi. The ladies went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and our nails were done right. The shop seems like a place that gets busy after 3pm. I will definitely be revisiting this shop again…

I went there for a pedicure and a hair cut! I was lucky to have Tracy attend to me! I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair! Tracy put me in the chair, talked to me about what would look good for my hair and face and showed me some pictures! And yes, she cut it short (long bob) and put some highlights in it! My friends love it, my husband was stunned and I feel younger I felt so good and comfortable that I ended getting a manicure and my eyebrows done! Since my birthday was just few days away Tracy gave me a gift certificate for a free pedicure! How nice of her! I never get anything for free so she made me feel special!
I love this place and recommend to all my friends and family! Good prices and great service! Can’t wait to go back!

I have come here twice for haircuts and both times was very pleased with the service and result. Tina checked in with me multiple times to make sure I liked what she was doing and considered how the cut would look given my hair texture and face shape. She worked very quickly and did a fabulous job. I paid $ 45 for a long-​hair cut and blow dry.

After a year of living in the DMV area and several botched and overpriced haircuts I found this place on Unilocal and scheduled an appointment with Lan. She is amazing. Even though I have drive a good 10 miles from Maryland which can sometimes mean an hour drive — she is worth it. She is very skilled and knowledgeable. I’ve had several haircuts with her since and have recently trusted her to do a dramatic hair color change. I went from jet black to a brown with golden highlights. She suggested the perfect shades when I wasn’t even sure myself. It turned out great. Their prices there are very reasonable and everyone is very friendly. I recommend Lan to anyone looking for a great hairdresser.

Seeing as today’s my birthday and I’m going to Hawaii tomorrow, I thought I’d treat myself to a good Olé mani/​pedi. This place is in crystal city and kind of tucked away next to a strip of stores.
I like how they have a full hair salon along with a full section for getting your nails done. $ 32 for a gel manicure and $ 28 for a regular manicure. The extra 2 bucks for the manicure was because she had to take off the paint from my last one… I’m not sure how typical it is to get charged for this sort of thing.
They were really nice staff and I appreciated the 90’s ultra diva playlist music. I was also really impressed with the thoroughness on the cuticles. They really pay attention to detail at this place. In addition, they give great massages on the legs and hands.
Parking is a little tough in the area so give yourself sometime if you have an appointment. It’s a small place, but the quality is there! I’ll be telling my boyfriend to get his hair cut there next time. Men’s cuts are only 15 bucks.

Went here for the first time and loved the experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, the entire place was clean, and my pedicure was done to perfection. I selected the Spoil Me Rotten pedicure. I let Lina (sp?) know that my nail was coming off on two of my nails (due to tight shoes) and she took care of them straight away. She did the cleaning, scrub, treatment– whole shebang. She was kind and attentive, and my toes never looked better. More champagne? Yes, please. Will definitely return.

I used to come here on a regular basis, but I have moved away from the neighborhood.

I have been coming to Color Touch for a year and a half. I love the girls and everyone of them does a fantastic job on my nails. The gel will last over 2 weeks! Tracy does my hair both cut and color and I always love it. I posted a picture of my holiday nails! I love them!

To me, this is a straight forward review for a few reasons:
1. Attentive stylist (Tracey) — asked questions, took her time, thorough; styled my hair after cut (not by request but she suggested to ensure it was cut properly)
2. CLEAN and organized — as you walk in, you are greeted by a host and are in the hair salon; beyond this section is the mani/​pedi stations complete with each area’s respective kits/​utensils/​etc.
3. Reasonably priced — for the area, customer service and quality haircut received
4. Location — up the street from two, Capital Bikeshare stations and a short walk from Crystal City Metro; it is located right across from Bob & Edith’s
For the fluff, I’ll mention that I moved into the area in early October and was in need for a trim. I came straight to Unilocal in search of a non-​mall nor salon chain and came across Color Touch with the highest reviews per volume.
I took a chance and am telling you to do the same. ENJOY

Came here for a manicure and pedicure before a wedding with two other girls. The owner treated us like princesses! Very friendly and wonderful service, we were served sparkling wine the entire time. My nail tech really took her time to do my nails. I got the classic mani n pedi for $ 40 (which include scrub n real massage! — not those sloppy rubs in most places). Overall happy with the result and service. I will be back.

This place was great! As a new resident, I was worried about finding a new nail salon and one that would have reasonable prices. This is my new gem! I came in for a pedicure and a diamond full set. Great service, everyone was genuinely friendly. My nails are on their third week now and still look great.

I was originally going to another at the corner for a Brazilian and underarms waxing session but they could not take me (appointment only). Disappointed I decided to go to this place as it was close by and reviews were rather good (thanks Unilocal). And I’m glad I did.
I had all the services I was planning on doing at the other place, for less. My skin was left super soft, it wasn’t painful and it took no time.
I also had a mani-​pedi that was perfectly performed, including a really nice, vigorous feet massage (by Silvia).
The complementary wine was appreciated. I just wish it was of better quality and served in an actual glass. But oh well, it was free.
I will definitely come back.
*Update: I am generally disappointed when I do a manicure because it never lasts (I use my hands a lot at home) but this one has not chipped at all since I did it. I’m really happy about it.

First time here and I loved it! From the moment my friend and I walked in they were very friendly and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable and explained to us the different services they offered. I will definitely be doing back because of the great prices, location and the friendly staff. I got a diamond full set which feels great on my nails. Definitely will be back again because of the great customer service and the friendly staff. I recommend this place to everyone.

Tracy is the best. I thought it may have been my judgement that was brought too soon, but after doing my nails with her colleague, I knew that Tracy is my favorite beautician. She is very thorough and exact with my nails.
One thing to work on is really purchasing more nude/​taupe gel colors that are «business friendly.» My work is extremely adamant with professionalism and a darker (yet tasteful color) will not do.

Really nice inside. Nice Pedicure tubs, and a nice selection of gel polish.
All of the attendants were super sweet, and they offer wine.
For my visit, I got my nails and eyebrows done. Both were done to perfection.
I can say, I’m happy I stumbled upon this gem :-)
I’ll be back!

Came here for my sisters baby shower for mani/​pedi fun. We were greeted by the nicest lady who set us up and got us champagne. We were spoiled rotten. This place doesn’t look like much from the outside and it is small but it was such a nice place. They were very busy but accommodated everyone perfectly and were so friendly. Everyone was so happy it was a great environment. I can’t recommend it more. Our nails all came out beautifully.

I’ve undergone a hair transformation! For over 10 years, I have basically had the same hairstyle: medium-​to-​long length and layers. The shortest my hair has been in the last decade has been shoulder-​length. As of Friday however, that has all changed. I’m now sporting a very chic asymmetrical bob, thanks to the talents of Tina.
My friend recommended this salon to me awhile ago. Recently, I’ve been thinking of a bigger hair change and on a whim booked an appointment Friday morning for later that afternoon. It’s an easy-​to-​miss place, squashed between an Italian restaurant and a cleaners. It’s not too big inside either, with only three stations for hair in the front and six pedicure chairs in the back. There’s a manicure table in the very back that seats three at most.
I came about 15 minutes early but they were able to seat me right away and the receptionist went to get my stylist, Tina. Tina thanked me for coming in and offered something to drink (options include wine). Then, she asked me what I wanted. I asked for short hair and showed her a few Pinterest pictures. I was worried that she would deter me from getting short hair, as stylists usually tend to look very surprised and worried whenever I get my long mane cut. However, Tina didn’t sway me in the slightest and even nodded when I asked if I would look okay with short hair.
Next, I watched with amazement as she transformed the hair station into a shampoo station. The shampoo station is built right in so there’s no need to move around with dripping wet hair. Genius! However, I will note that it doesn’t look like they clean the shampoo sinks as well as I would have hoped. Tina shampooed and conditioned my hair, and she even gave me a brief head massage. Afterwards, she used a towel to dry my hair which she promptly threw into the sink. A little while later however, I watched as she took that same towel from the sink and used it to dry my neck before tossing it back in. That triggered a little germophobe in me. Thankfully, the other towels she used were all new.
Tina brought over some magazines and showed me two pictures of short hair but with vastly different lengths. She wanted to make sure that I really wanted a short length (I guess in the pasts, clients have been less than enthused after saying they wanted short hair but not liking the outcome). After I reassured her, she got to work. She was efficient and within 15 minutes, my hair had been shaped. She began blowdrying and styling my bob for another 15 minutes. When I looked into the mirror, I was so surprised to see how good my bob looked! I was honestly a little worried that I would hate my short hair, but it’s been two days and I’m still loving the look! I’ve also gotten a lot of compliments on it. Tina gave me an asymmetrical bob, which works perfectly with my face. I told her in the beginning that all I wanted was short hair and I wanted her to do whatever she thought would make it look good, and that’s exactly what she did. She took what I wanted and made it work according to my face shape.
Another thing I should note is that after my cut, Tina tried to get the stray hair off my neck by wiping it off and even blowdrying it quickly. However, as I was walking home, my neck itched like crazy and when I went to scratch it, all these little stray hairs were on my fingers. When I got home, I saw that there was a small patch of stray hairs on my neck and even on my back. Nothing that can’t be washed off but just something to keep in mind if you’re planning on going straight to an event or something after a cut.
Total was $ 40, which is such a steal in this area for shampoo (including head massage) + cut + blowdry. I’ve spent much more in the past for way less. So while I do wish the place was cleaner and that they would clean the stray hairs off my neck, I would come back for a good, inexpensive cut and style. I’ll probably also be back for a manicure/​pedicure, as this place seems more popular with nails than hair. When I was getting my haircut, I was the only one in the hair station but all the pedicure seats were taken by the time I finished and the manicure table was half full too.
Appointments not necessary; walk-​ins are welcome. They accept Visa and Mastercard but bring some cash for tips.
+ Women’s cut: $ 25+ for classic cut, $ 35+ for design cut (includes shampoo and blowdry)
+ Men’s cut: $ 15 for classic cut, $ 18 for design cut (includes shampoo, head and shoulder massage)

I’ve come here twice now and needless to say, they’ve earned a regular!
As a guy, finding a place that does men’s haircuts are always difficult, especially when everything hair related seems catered towards women. So naturally, I had my concerns when I first called a place that advertised itself as «hair and nail» salon. Fate would have it, it was the best decision ever!
First off, the haircuts start at $ 15. Like, that’s insane for a good salon around the DMV that does haircuts. They all generally start off around $ 18+.
Secondly, the time efficiency. Today, I was in at 7:15, I was out by 7:35. Amazing.
Lastly, you might be wondering if I got a good haircut in that time. Yes. There’s your answer. Perfectly, exactly how I wanted it.
Life is great.

Walked in on a Wednesday around three to a very quiet salon. I wanted a mani/​pedi and was in the area and decided to swing by because of the good reviews. Not much communication from my technician but she was very good at her job and took her time so I have absolutely no complaints with that. The foot massage with the pedicure was phenomenal!!!
The location is good, there is street parking and I was lucky to find a spot in front of the salon but that might pose a problem for future customers, as I didn’t see a parking lot. The price for a mani/​pedi at 40 $ in this area is amazing. Would definitely return.

I came here because the reviews were so wonderful and it was supposed to be relatively inexpensive, but that wasn’t my experience.
To start, the salon is tucked between restaurants on 23^rd street, with large neon signs. It’s really small and crowded — the kind of place I worry would be hard to keep clean. There were a lot of customers there, though, so that made it seem promising.
They were really nice and fit me right in, but I have to give them three stars for the lack of quality. Lisa didn’t completely remove the cuticle from my nails (you can see lines through my French manicure on my hands) and failed to paint my entire nail in some cases. This is particularly concerning because it’s very noticeable on my pedicure (red nails). It’s not as noticeable on the manicure, but I’m disappointed because I paid good money for a long-​lasting, quality gel manicure. Now, chances are, it will start to peel at these incomplete edges. On the pedicure, she also painted my cuticle and some of the adjacent skin, which will come off, but it’s careless. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I can do this well (or better) at home for much cheaper.
