Top Best 10 Nail Salons in Vancouver, Clark (part 3)

M Mathews Gentle, friendly, Bella did a fantastic job on my manicure. Would come again. Walk in, first time visit.

Lisa Khatibi My only complaint is when I make an appointment, I expect the business to honor that appointment and not take a walk-in and ask me to wait or shuffle around for them to serve that walk-in. The person walking in with no appointment should wait and not have those loyal customers that make an appointment wait. I always live my nails when I leave here, but their lack of respect for scheduled appointments is making me look somewhere else.

Yuni Yuni My first time here, and will definitely coming back. Such a wonderful experience! Staffs are friendly and accommodating! The place is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxing.

Brittney Shaughnessy Emily did an amazing work with my nails and even free styled the beautiful flower. Very sweet and personable person!

Claire Marie Ann Wodrich I went to go see Angela as a dear friend of mine recommended her when I asked who does her nails (they always look amazing!). I’m so glad I went to go see her! I got a full healthy dipping powder set and I was inspired by Hailey Bieber’s trending nails. She pointed me in the right directions with color and glitter top coat and I say they look even better than Hailey’s. I am pretty new to getting tips and my nails done but I will be visiting this salon regularly now on for these gorgeous nails! Everyone there is also very nice and they do a really good job keeping things nice and clean. Thank you so much!!

The Wickizers I went today for a pedicure and an acrylic fill. I saw the new owner Maggie. She gave me the best pedicure I have ever had. She also did my nails beautifully, not too thick, shaped perfectly, and painted to perfection! Bonus is she even gave me an amazing hand massage, which doesn’t usually happen with a fill at other salons. Maggie was very friendly and charged fair prices. I will definitely be back, and I recommend you try out Venus Nails now that it’s under new ownership!

Raychell Miller Aquino I got off work late and they still let me come by to get a fill done. This lady is a master at shaping nails perfectly to your wants and the shape and direction of your fingers. If you get your nails done regularly and you live in the area, definitely make Venus nails your go to!

S P R Came here with a Groupon, and I will back! The spa is spacious, no chemical smells, and very clean. They even wore gloves while giving me my pedicure.

Dung Tran I got a pedicure from Venus and it fabulous. They took time to fix my ingrown toe nails and did a great massage throughout. The shop is very clean with nice soft rock 80’ music. They are under new management which changed alot in a good way. Come try and check them out. I am sure you won’t be disappointed

Laura Chan I followed my favorite technician, Van, (who is also one of the owners) to this new nail salon! I was a loyal customer at he and his wifes previous location and I only trust him with my pedicure, so much that Im willing to drive from Happy Valley, OR to this location! New salon is clean and plenty of chairs. Van does an excellent job and my pedicure lasts forever and looks great. Quality is the best around and the prices are extremely competitive!

Savannah Belle Went in the morning for a gel pedicure.. it was my first time here! Unfortunately the experience wasn’t ideal - the young woman was very rough with the clipping process and gave me quite a few nicks & the inside corners are all still throbbing.. the color is wonderful! Maybe I caught them on a bad day..

Erica Jordan The manager or the owner is super sweet, always has a great job, there is one particular nail tech who I constantly have to get to repairs done whenever I have her, I always tip well and pay or am willing to pay for repairs however I dont have the extra time to come back so often between fills. It shouldnt be $55 to $60 for basic thick gel almond shaped nails, where on average 2 to 3 of them pop off in between fills. They are rarely thick/do when I explain I work in the food service industry, they arent breaking off but popping off from the bottom of the nail bed like a press on. I cant risk them coming off this easily in my line of work. It says walk-ins welcome which is great as a single mom, who works multiple jobs and cant always commit to self-care, my nails are the only thing that I do for myself and its unfortunate that I will not be able to continue supporting this place. It really seems there are some talented artists who love what they do there and then there is one particular tech who carries a lot of negative energy and makes the experience feel like a burden. I dont want to feel like Im imposing on anybody when Im a paying customer, wish you guys the best!

Kelsey Salisbury I’ve been going here since I was a young teenager and I’m almost 30. I live 45 minutes away, about to be an hour and I will still always come here. The ladies are so nice, and do a quality job every time. 6 weeks no fill, no breakage. Every color you can imagine and always getting new ones. If you can, get Lena at the end. She’s the best! I was in shop with the person who left the last negative review and they handled her so professionally even though she was trying to cause a scene. Thank you ladies for always being amazing!

Crystal Navarro They are always able to squeeze you in and accommodate to your needs. I have been going here for years but most recently I got the most amazing acrylic set for a Beyoncé concert and Kelly really came through. They do great designs and their pedicures are so relaxing.

Wendy Garcia Im sorry but i didnt like them ,they didnt file them well, dont paint them well and left the almond of the nail very thick.

Ami Remmers Not good. My daughter came in with 1 short broken nail... without asking the lady cut them all to match. Way too short! Also not to edge and bumpy and left extra shellac on thumb. When asked to fix this, she refused.

Mela Cooper I enjoy this nail spa! The staff are friendly, the foot massages, mani and pedi I get look great. I love the quiet and calming ambiance. Great service!

Elisabeth Mendenhall Have used this business several times over the last few years but the last two times they were not good. Today the lady who did my pedicure chatted in a foreign language (Vietnamese?) with a coworker the whole time. When she was done she disappeared after telling me to wait for awhile to put my shoes on. After 15 minutes I stood up to leave and nobody helped to put my flip flops on so the nailpolish would not smear. One was busy fixing her own nails and the other one was chatting on the phone. The pedicure does not look good with polish all around my big toes.

Mahal Houle My wife and I have been going there for the past few months for our nails. We absolutely love the staff and the work they do. Everyone their is so nice and they always make our nails look good! Lenas nail art is always amazing! It is crazy how she can take an inspiration picture you show her and make her design so much better. If you are looking for a new place to get your nails done we highly recommend checking them out!

Charito Nicdao-Gumera I love Allura Salon and Spa. The topmost reason why I love it there is because their nail technicians listen to what I want. They are accommodating, and collaborative, and even go on extra mile/length of combining powders/colors to achieve what I want to see on my nails. I love their complimentary drinks and massage chairs. The place is clean and the atmosphere is very pleasant. My favorite by far are the sisters, April and Lina. Both are very talented. Lastly, the price is reasonable with a discount if paying by cash and they also have a great selection of colors. All places have good and bad. There are a few things you might want to consider before visiting this salon. First, most technicians are not really good at verbal communication so it is better to show them a visual (picture) of what you want to be done on your nails. You will feel rushed if you come in during rush hours or if they get a sudden influx of customers. They try not to turn away anyone so they’ll work faster if they receive more walk-in clients. It is better to call, reserve your hours, and reserve your favorite technician to get the best service. They never pressure me to tip but I always end up tipping them. That is how good they are to me.

Terri Otto Love this place! Great vibe- they are all so kind. Love the nail booth setup! They did a great job and really listened to what I asked for. I observed this same customer service with others coming in! This is my new place!!

Cookie Norris Steve is the most amazing nail tech that I’ve ever experienced… His intensely deep knowledge of the business is just unreal. His nail sets are absolutely beautiful. I have diabetes and it’s ruining my nail beds. They are turning very dark, and matching the powder to my beds is something all other techs failed at and this guy makes my nail beds look as if there’s no problem… my nails look so healthy and I’m African-American which makes it even more difficult… I WILL NEVER GO TO ANYONE ELSE….GO TO STEVE… You won’t be disappointed…

Madison Allen Only place I’ll go to get my nails done! I moved to Vancouver 2.5 years ago and visit them monthly since! They just recently opened under new management and it’s even nicer than it was with the same affordable pricing! The salon I went to before moving here my nails would break every 2 weeks but this salon is AMAZING and I only need a fill once a month as they never chip or break! Funny ladies too always having great conversations with them!

Syd Seydlitz I wanted something simple and cute. Very clean and beautiful space. Everyone there was hospitable, professional, and hard-working. The massage chairs are relaxing, the pedicures are excellent, and the manicures are gorgeous. I paid for a luxury service, and thats what I got.

Linda Romero For those that understand luxury as a need, not a want. Only slightly more expensive than standard, and the quality of the service is vastly and truly superior. The atmosphere is elegant, with mimosas and wine served with pedicures on clean massage chairs. They have knowledge and processes for the PROPER foot treatment of those with diabetes, so be sure to tell them if thats a concern of yours.

qclae Jee Bad experience with whatever her name is. She didn’t file my nails, she had the nerves to tell me what she did was better than how my toes were when I came in. The WHOLE point is to not feel judged and to leave happy. How hard is that as a nail tech? She didn’t bother filing them. She put the powder on my big toe and left it at that, painted over it with white gel. Very sloppy job. Everytime told her I wanted went over her heady. Cannot remember her name. Lilly? Lucy? Ugh. I gave you a big tip and that’s all you’re getting from me. I don’t recommend this place unless you’re the older generation who don’t really care for how their feet turns out. It’s was about $75 for just feet and she didn’t even bother with calluses. I ended up doing manicure as well gave her a little over $25 tip for bad experience. I don’t regret that because you live you learn not to go back to bad treatment.

Catchcandice Absolute TREAT!! Visiting from Michigan my training group and I were in desperate need of pedicures . 5 of use in total and the ladies at Nail Envy quickly accommodated us. Super CLEAN!!! & friendly . The massages chairs are memorable! Make this a must stop. Ladies being ur Man they will love the massages chairs while you get pampered.

Eric Nehf My wife and I love this place and the workers there. Definitely a nice place to splurge and relax. They even serve wine or mimosas and all are sweet and friendly.

Holly Smith I decided to try this place because its close to home. I called and made an appointment for the next day. When I showed up for my appointment, during their posted hours online, noone was there. I called and got a voicemail that was very outdated and disconnected when I tried to leave a voicemail. Wont be back.

JENNIFER SICKLER They always are very kind and on point when I take my boys to get their hair cut! Great prices without trying to up sale or over charge ❤️ Truly a hidden gem in Vancouver

Jordan Carrell Great mens haircut, fast and easy, great price! Thank you I will be a regular customer :)

Kari Francesca Very crooked nails and the acrylic was lumped on and uneven. Also overflowing my cuticles on a few of them. I was charged 55 for my nails and I honestly could have got way better nails for that price probably anywhere else. Waste of money because I have to fix them they are hideous and below expectations

Cecilia Hobson I asked her to trim my hair and frame my face. I told her very specifically that I wanted to leave it long and that I was afraid to cut off too much. I told her my hair is curly and I straighten it usually. She held up an amount that looked like 2-3 inches and said how about this much and I agreed. I paid her without a monetary tip. I did give here a verbal one telling her that she needs to listen when a person is describing what they want done. I went home to get my sister and we drove back there together. My sister said 1 sentence to her "We would like to talk to you about services that were just rendered to my sister." And this lady handed me my money back and told us to leave. Then physically "shooed" us out of the shop by waving her hands at us and touching my body with her fingertips!

Kaylee Kontonasakis TRIGGER WARNING FOR PHOTOS I’ve waited to do a review to see if I could settle this personally with them. But I would say to anyone thinking about coming here, don’t. I went here on December 14th, after my friend offered to get my nails done after my sisters funeral. The lady doing my nails cut my skin, but the worse part is two days later I received an infection on my pinky finger that caused me to go to the emergency room to receive antibiotics for. This infection has lead me to lose my real life nail, and it was painful. I’ve also been in contact with this salon since the infection began. And they still have not given my friend a refund, at minimum. $80 for an infection, and now my nail is going to take months and months to grow back.

Kristi Kaneshi 40$ for one of the worst manis I’ve ever revived. Barely did my cuticles. Rushed the entire time. Almost cut me. Wasn’t offered anything to drink. Charged me 3$ to take off 3 gel nail polish. Nails look terrible and there’s nail polish on my skin.

kimberly perez They did a ok job, but I didnt like how it was a rush especially with your feet. Im 9 months pregnant, all I wanted to do was soak my swollen feet and get my feet done. The guy rushed me along, I barely had 5 mins with my feet in the water or to decide a color. I really didnt like that!! My feet were so swollen, just give people more time please! So I didnt tip him, Im not sorry for that either. He took all the enjoyment out of my time there. :(

Sarah Marie Swartwood First and last time going here! First my tech was mad I didn’t want the $95 pedi. She left a huge glob of polish on my big toe I mentioned it and she just painted over it! I got home, and one of my nails popped off. I called, they said come in tomorrow they would fix it. I went in today, and was treated like complete trash! They refused to fixed my nails that look like they’re about to bust off! Fixed the one that originally fell off, but left the rest I pointed out I had acrylic under my nails still, and I left with still having acrylic under my nails! Never going back

Margarida Costa OMG I havent had a mani/pedi in forever. My nail techs name was Mia and she was wonderful. At times I could hardly feel her touching me. I recommend coming here is you want your nails done.

Janet Kincaid Great place very nice people, good price. I love getting my nails done here with Sunny.

Jackie Wilushewski As a first-time walk-in, I was impressed by the service and availability. I brought a photo of the nail design I wanted for my pedicure, and the technician skillfully recreated it. I’m extremely happy with the outcome!

Cthomp91 I came in a little over a week ago for a full set and eyebrow/lip wax. Waxing was great! I love how my eyebrows look, no acne or irritation afterward. Awesome. The nails are horrendous. I stopped asking the tech what she was doing because she blew me off every time. The nails are so uneven, so flat, and packed with so much glue, I don’t know where to start. Shop says they take walk ins. I got handed to an older woman. She was very nice, but her competence is very much lacking. Her station was filthy, covered in all of her stuff. It does not look like she cleans her station at all. She immediately started using tools that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned from the last use. I asked if she could use clean bits, she wasn’t happy. She had a heck of a time putting the tips on my nails. She BARELY used any glue. I repeatedly pointed out the corners of the tips were not glued down. Instead of taking the tips off and redoing it properly, she just put a whole bunch of nail glue on top. She then used the drummel on the tips? I had never seen that before. Then she drummeled so much, she actually put a hole in one of the tips. I told her there was a hole. Her solution? More glue. The glue actually came through the hole and glued the tip of my finger to the nail. Which she never fixed either. I asked for almond shape, like the reference photo, she said, “No, round.” I said I hate round and like almond. And she said it works best with the reference I gave. I said again, I want almond. She gave me round. The acrylic is some of the most bumpy, lumpy, uneven, but SO flat. She would take HUGE beads that were not formed or solid yet, and try to apply it. She would apply so much acrylic then take most of it off. It made no sense. Wasted so much product. She had another woman come paint my nails. The nail polish is incredibly uneven. It’s thick and dark at the top, but the bottoms you can see through the nail polish. The second tech also saw and felt how the first one left the acrylic and made no comment or effort to fix it, although I had also told her it’s lumpy. I did not get what I asked for. At all. Not the shape, she didn’t want to do chunky glitter, and only gave me gel samples to choose from. I chose a dark blue, but still wanted as close to the reference as possible. Never happened. She did the the entire nail blue, no black, no transitions. The quoted me $40 when I showed her the reference, but when I was done it was $50. When I was paying, the first older tech was standing literally on her toes, Looking over my shoulder to see how much I tipped. Very uncomfortable. It’s a little over a week, and they’re already starting to lift at the bottoms, and they’re turning a weird yellow color. So it was too much exposure under the UV or bad product was used on my nails. I don’t smoke, I don’t paint, I don’t work with chemicals, there is no reason for them to be yellowing. I would love a refund, because these are really poor quality. I used to come to this shop years ago and always had a good experience, but the skill and quality has very obviously suffered over the years. I was in the area and thought they had done great work before, I’ll go here instead of traveling to my usual spot. Big mistake on my part. I didn’t bother asking them to fix it or telling them I was unhappy because the work they already did was so bad, I didn’t trust them to be able to fix it. Straight up. I didn’t think they had the capability to fix it since two people worked on my nails and thought the work was quality. I’d also like to note, for a single set of acrylics. She took over two hours. I have NEVER had a salon take so long to do nails. I’m in and out within 30-45 minutes at most with my regular shop. Just a horrid experience all around. Ruined the niceness of the wax. I will post the reference picture and my results, along with close ups of my complaints. The older woman has no business doing anyone’s nails. Don’t waste your money here.

S. H. Uneven coverage on my pedi paint, and its not even the color I chose. They said I chose a crackle finish which I confirmed I did. They put it back and got a different color without asking or telling me that I cant have crackle paint. I went home and cleaned off all the clear top coat they painted on my skin and trimmed my cuticles better. I probably wont be returning after this experience.

Armetrice Green Have been coming to Mrs Sonny for years. She does a great job. My nails arent to bucky. She is a sweet heart

Angela Brandt I dont go here all the time because its the perfect place for a special occasion. They are talented and so good, it can be hard to get an appointment. They give me California salon level work. If you want a place that can do a viral video nail trend, This is the place. They are THAT good.

Kathy Stanley Nail Kitchen is under new ownership. We loved Nail Kitchen with original owners. Unfortunately, we left after the original sale of the business due to the new owners. We heard they had new owners again. The third owners are doing great things with the nail salon and we are very happy customers and so glad to be back! Their service is excellent, the salon is clean and inviting, and their technicians do fantastic work. We couldn’t be more happy!

Samuel Crawford just got these nails done At the nail kitchen, and they are just perfect for the spring. I showed them a reference photo and they followed it Exactly how I wanted and even when I asked for chrome they were able to add it no problem. The staff there was excellent. It was very clean And they did exactly as I requested. I get my nails done here all the time and they are always excellent every time I go in. Definitely have to go ahead and check out the nail kitchen. I get so many compliments on my nails every time I go. -Chelsea

Madison Witt I was greeted with smiles when I walked in, Vivi did such a good job on my nails and took her time making them beautiful. Great conversation and kind souls in here! Can’t wait to see y’all again!
