Nail care today blends beauty, wellness, and personal expression. At Ginger Nail Spa, that balance is shaped by how the work is done and how consistently it shows up from appointment to appointment. 

When entering the spa, you will experience a rich environment of luxury fragrances, marble and quartz appointments in the salon and spotless restrooms.

Founded by Qi (Chi) Huang, Ginger Nail Spa reflects a hands-on approach that prioritizes both beauty and creativity. Qi Huang was born in Chengdu, China, an ancient city of 21 million people, rich Szechuan cuisine, and the home of the Panda bear. She was classically trained in nails and facials. Qi Qi remains closely involved in daily operations, setting service standards, overseeing technique, and shaping the overall experience of her Rockville studio. Her presence is felt in the studio’s attention to precision, its thoughtful service menu, and an environment that feels elevated and warm.

Each appointment begins with a conversation that narrows those ideas into something workable. The absolute highest quality colors are refined, techniques are discussed, and execution is deliberate. The focus stays on accuracy and wearability, so results look polished on day one and continue to hold up.

Spa pedicures include options such as the antioxidant-rich Green Tea Spa, Lavender Spa, and Golden Mystique treatments, each incorporating soaking rituals, exfoliation, massage, and hot stone elements. The experience is designed to feel restorative, not rushed.

Behind the scenes, the studio has invested in one of the state’s most advanced fresh air recovery systems, continuously replacing indoor air with filtered outdoor air to support comfort and long-term health.

The experience extends beyond the main floor, with waxing services thoughtfully located on a dedicated second level, offering added privacy while keeping the primary space calm and uncluttered.

Ginger Nail Spa succeeds by narrowing its focus rather than expanding it. The work is careful. The environment is healthy. And the experience feels considered in ways clients notice and return for.
