The safe-for-kids manicure at PAINT Nail Bar in Rosslyn

By Sasha Ridley December 8, 2020

Imagine going to a nail salon without worrying about toxic fumes, gunky foot baths, and harsh chemical products.  If it sounds to good to be true, you need to know about PAINT Nail Bar.  It's the new way to get your nails done, and it's right here in Rosslyn!  

PAINT invited me to bring my own daughter in for a pedicure in exchange for reviewing their new space, and we had an absolutely perfect experience.  

PAINT is an up-and-coming global franchise that is redefining the way we get manicures and pedicures.  Damaging products are gone - PAINT's lacquers are vegan and formaldehyde-free, and they only use LED lamps for curing their water-based gel polishes. 

Their ceramic pedicure basins are jet-less and guaranteed not to harbor bacteria.  Nail files and buffers are single-use, and all other tools are sterilized using hospital-grade procedures.  Oh, and there's a stocked bar equipped with non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages as well.  

I felt so good about bringing my daughter into such a clean and relaxed environment.  It felt great to not have to worry about dirty tools or bacteria in our foot baths.  Our nail technicians were gentle and precise, delivering a great pedicure that was gel-quality and dry to the touch in only five minutes!

The commitment to safe and clean products, coupled with the relaxed but upscale ambiance, makes PAINT a great option for a special outing with kids. They offer special pricing and nail services for kids 12 and under, and express nail services for on-the-go adults as well.  They are also practicing rigorous health protocols in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, including mandatory masks, socially distanced seating, and acrylic barriers between clients and nail technicians.  If you are not ready for a service now, they also have gift cards available for future appointments.  Here's what you need to know:
