We Have a Story to Tell

“Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning, visiting Mancini's and especially, Adil. Tried some places on my 'side of the pond', Rock Creek Parkway is closed for construction, so driving to Arlington makes for a longer trip now. But, I gotta go back, Adil is so worth it.
Adil is hair artistry. He loves what he does and it shows, I've always been highly satisfied with the cut. And, he's a charming man, utterly. You'll feel that you've visited a friend, a pleasant time. Mancini de Paris is well located, but ignore the street address, a GPS will get confused. A GPS should simply say: "Uhhh, you know Bob and Edith's Diner? It's across the street". The shop is in a shopping center with a Giant. You can make a case for paid parking for the ease of grocery shopping and using the well-lit elevator garage, total convenience. The shop itself is bright and clean, but I wish that they provided gel floor mats for the stylists to stand on. Many shops do not, I always notice and always mention it. There are hair-stylist -specific mats, means all the difference for somebody who has to stand all day.”

“I was new to the area the first time I came here, it was recommended by my roommate and it did not disappoint! I've gotten color done & several times (twice by the owner himself). You leave with the staff ensuring & genuinely wanting you to be happy with your service and the way you look. They have great products and a beautiful space. As someone who moved to the area just last year I am very happy to say I've found my new hair place!”

“Mary at Macini de Paris has been wonderful! She is my go to stylist in Arlington and I am never disappointed with my haircut or highlights. The prices are reasonable for this area and the staff is friendly and professional. This place also offers great nail services.”

“What a lovely place!! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and helpful woman at the front desk. I only waited a few minutes to be seen (it was a Tuesday night) so I can only speak on a weekday. Janet took care of me and my gel manicure. She was the absolute sweetest and gave me the best treatment. We had great conversation and I got a great manicure and needed it badly! I paid $30 for a gel manicure and I think that is perfectly priced and for the service I would have paid more. Believe me, when you find something good you stick to it. I will be back again and again.”

“Yay! I finally found my neighborhood nail salon. I'm sad it took me so long to try Mancini de Paris. The décor is modern and upscale and pricing is slightly higher than other nail salons, but not what I was expecting and not so out-of-range that I would not return ($15 for a manicure; $40 for full arm wax; $42 for mani/pedi).
For nails, my favorite tech is Young. I've had another one, but was not pleased, so I will be making appointments with Young. Nail colors are limited, but they offer the most recent OPI/Essie shades. Russo is great at waxing. She was very thorough and quick, plus she's kind and funny. In addition to nails and waxing, hair, skin, and body services are offered (it's a full-service salon), but I've not yet tried them. The receptionist is quite friendly. The waiting area is small--only a few chairs. They open at 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays and have a website, which is great. If you are looking for nails and waxing on the Pike, definitely check out Mancini de Paris.”
