2025-09-03I have been getting my nails done for 30 years. This is the best quality nail salon in Richmond. If you’re more concerned with the quality of work versus the extras, like massages and free wine, then this is your place. It is clean (important to me) and the people are friendly. Ask for “Q.” He is the very best. I get dip service. You will not be disappointed.

2025-10-15Quoc “Q” at VA Nails is the absolute best. He’s super friendly and professional. His attention to detail is why I have and will continue to come to VA Nails for my manicures and pedicures. The shop is very clean and they take extra measures to ensure you have a great experience. They offer beverages and coffee and clean the stations in between customers. I love sparkles and bright colors. Quoc “Q” helps me to come up with creative fun ideas each time. I frequently get compliments on my nails. If you are in need of a new nail shop. I strongly recommend you try out VA Nails

2025-05-10I absolutely love VA Nails in Short Pump! My nail tech Q is amazing — they’re incredibly patient, meticulous, and always make sure I leave with perfect nails. The salon uses high-quality products that really make a difference, and my nails always last. The environment is so calming and never chaotic, which makes every visit feel like a little retreat. It’s rare to find a place that feels this relaxing and professional. Highly recommended!
