Hi! I’ve been on the hunt for a new nail salon in the DC area. I only like to get the dip/SNS powder on my nails and most places still do a gel top coat which requires the UV light. The whole point of me not getting gel is to avoid the light…

Please send me all recommendations. I just want a clean salon, that does true dip powder nails and no light!

Of note, DX Organic salon in Bethesda does this, and I’ve been going there for a while but it is a bit of a drive, plus parking can be a hassle, and the last few times I’ve gone the customer service hasn’t been the greatest.

Please help! Anywhere in DC or DMV area is great. TIA

Enchanted in Adams Morgan does it but I can't speak to the quality of it. Quality of the salon overall is fine.

DC Nail Spa in Dupont does exactly what you’re looking for. I go there and all the staff is great. If you go during the week, you’ll get a discount on your service and they’ll do a cash discount too.
