About

M Studio is a nail salon in Arlington, Virginia, located in Unit 132 at 1800 Wilson Blvd. The salon's main focus is Russian manicures, builder gel overlays (BIAB), and waterless pedicures, with menus also covering color services and nail art. Clients can call (703) 649-1964 or email mstudionailcare@gmail.com.

Hours run Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM. Clients are asked to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early with clean hands and nails, with old polish removed unless removal is booked. Phones should be kept on silent during appointments, and lotions or oils should be avoided right before a visit, especially for BIAB services.

According to the salon, its products are high-quality and its techniques advanced, and its nail artists are described as highly trained. The salon states that every nail artist is professionally licensed and has been trained in technique and sanitation. Tools are disinfected with disinfectants that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has registered, then run through an autoclave suited to medical use after every use. Files, buffers and other disposable tools are single-use. Nail services are not performed on infected nails, open cuts or broken skin.

Booking and payment policies are clear. Clients should arrive on time, as arrivals more than 10 minutes late may have the service adjusted or rescheduled. Cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours notice, and same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged the full service amount. Some services may require a non-refundable deposit that is applied to the final total. Cash, cards, Apple Pay, and Zelle are accepted, and refunds are not offered once a service is completed.

If a chip or break within two weeks is caused by the salon's work, it is repaired for free. Damage caused by client mishandling incurs a small repair fee. The salon may photograph work for its social media, and clients can opt out by telling their nail artist.

The salon describes its waterless pedicure method as reducing bacteria and cross-contamination, and it says its low-odor products meet or exceed safety standards with proper ventilation. It recommends refills every three to four weeks and gives aftercare advice including daily cuticle oil and avoiding hot-water soaks for 24 hours.
