Top Best 15 Nail Salons in Seattle, King

Valeria Zamora I have been getting my nails done with Jules for about 2 years now. She always does an amazing job and she is so talented! She is great at nail art and application. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Eden Wandewosen Best nail Tech in seattle. There is not a design too big or small for Juliana to execute beautifully. Make sure to check out Paintbox next time you’re in seattle.

Charlein Mellen I would recommend Juliana to anyone who wants gorgeous nails from a super kind lady! I hadnt got my nails done in years and she was so nice when I said I was nervous. And theyre gorgeous!

Melinda Yuen This nail salon completely surpassed my expectations. It was clean and relaxing, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Quan is a true artist—he went above and beyond what I requested and created the most stunning designs I’ve ever had. I left feeling pampered and beyond satisfied. If youre looking for perfection, this is the place to go. (Ignore my residual henna)

Sharoya Lenaris **UPDATE 2/4/25** USABeautyStudio Owners reached out to me immediately to make it right! They guarantee their work for up to 2 weeks and offered to fix my broken nail! I ended up going for a complete serviced fill with designs for Valentine’s Day nails. The owner not only listened to my complaint but he completely WOW’d me with my finished product. Thank you USABeautyStudio for hearing me and caring enough to make it right! Not many shops take the time, effort, or care to do that! I will be a repeat customer! **Previous Review 2/2/25** The owner was really friendly and pricing was about average. I got a pedicure with gel polish, and i requested a Gel-x fill. The pedicure was nice and i felt like he took his time - no complaints there. Gave 3 stars because my fill was an acrylic fill. I even double checked that he was doing a Gel-x fill twice and he reassured me and proceeded with the typical acrylic powder and liquid method…. The color and shape ended up being beautiful so i would’ve continued to come back, BUT they didn’t even last two weeks. One of my nails ripped clean across and so far down that it’s painful to the touch. Now i have to wait to get my nails fixed. And it’s probably going to cost me since the nail was not refilled with gel-x.

Alexandria McInnes Hands down best manicure and pedicure I have had. I get the gel pedicure and hard gel manicure. Quan has so much attention to detail and is so meticulous. He always checks in to make sure I love the color and length and is happy to allow me to change in order to make sure I am satisfied. The salon is extremely clean and there is a wide range of colors that are up to date is the color trends. They use all quality products! Definite great service and I always leave so happy.

Samy Mariscal I’ve been to different nail salons in Seattle and I never leave completely content but today was a different story. Quan was very friendly and welcoming. He started on time and the service was high quality and thorough. I’m super happy with my manicure; if you’re looking for a nail place, this is for you. You won’t be disappointed!

Xuan Huynh I had a fantastic experience at the USA beauty studio. The salon is spotless, with a relaxing and welcoming ambiance that makes you feel comfortable right away. Scheduling was super easy, and they offer great flexibility, which I really appreciated. I got lash extensions along with brow lamination, wax, and tint, and Thi did an amazing job! She was meticulous, ensuring everything looked natural and well-shaped. My lashes and brows turned out perfect, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The pricing is also very reasonable for the quality of service provided. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for excellent beauty services in a clean and professional environment! Will definitely be coming back.

Tammy Halliday I am delighted with the results. Hannah listened to what I wanted and did exactly what I asked. She was very gentle and meticulous with her craft The only problem I see is how to get her to move to Melbourne Australia to do them next time. **review update: after 1 month we’re back home in Aus and my nails still look amazing! Seriously the best set I’ve ever had. No chips, lifting or breakage. Still ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ after 4 weeks. Thanks Hannah!!!

Tish AB Polish You Pretty Nails I recently had the most amazing experience at Polish You Pretty Nails! My nail tech, Kassie, was incredibly talented and did an amazing job on my designer nails. Shes a true artist and can recreate any style you can find. The salon itself is so welcoming and inviting. The owner, Mimi, is incredibly sweet and did a fantastic job on my eyebrows. Its a great place to relax and get pampered. If youre looking for a top-notch nail salon, I highly recommend Polish You Pretty Nails. Make sure to book an appointment with Kassie, shes in high demand for a reason! #PolishYouPrettyNails #NailArt #DesignerNails #Manicure #Pedicure #NailSalon #YelpReview #SeattleNails #NailTech #Beauty

Kristina Archuleta Did such an amazing job! Love to be a loyal customer in the future love my nails. Had an appointment at 130pm but came at 1pm. Took me in immediately. Friendly service

Lesly W This is my go-to spot to get my nails done! It’s convenient and walk-ins are welcome. There is usually availability if you call in advance. The nail artists here do a great job and they try to accommodate the color and style you’re looking for. Prices are very reasonable. I’ve been going and supporting Hanah. She’s an apprentice and has been working to build her client base. She’s so efficient and skilled with doing my nails. I usually got for dip/gel nails and it lasts up to a month!

Amy Bailey Leila was awesome! She took her time, we had great conversations and she was a hoot! I am very happy with how my nails turned out. I would absolutely go again!

Dong Siao (Yolanda) Leila is amazing! I’m so glad that I finally found my favorite nail place at Seattle. The studio is clean and personal with fantastic views. The pedicure was amazing. Leila is super knowledgeable, easygoing and has excellent skills. I love the waterless treatment. Also, my feet feel pampered without any slightest pain. The product is also of very good quality. I highly recommend the place.

Carol R Amazing experience- personalized, chair is AMAZING, the aesthetic of the nailwork is classy and refined. Leila is a compassionate, lovely person. My soul feels better just after being in her energy. The cleanest most sterile tools. She elevates this industry. Thank you, Leila!!

Mai Der Shaw I was in Seattle for 24 hours on a miles run and lucky enough to find Leila two blocks from my hotel. She’s super responsive and picked up the phone when I called at 9:45 PM to see if I could get in the next morning for a mani and pedi before I flew back to WI. I had the most incredible manicure and pedicure! I never had a dry pedicure before and it was hands down the best pedicure I ever had!!! Leila is very knowledgeable and experienced - she educated me on how to care for my feet. Highly recommend Leila and her services. What an amazing experience! Wish I lived closer so I could see her regularly.

Cella Destan Love Leila! She knows what she’s doing, has so many years of experience, & is professional yet a great conversationalist. I’ve gotten regular mani & pedis done by her, as well as deluxe pedis. Even if you’re hesitant, I recommend just trying her out to see how nice the personalized experience is

Leigh Deininger Annie is the absolute best. I’ve been going to her for over a year now (sorry I didn’t review earlier!) and she consistently provides excellent services along with beautiful nails. I always leave giddy and excited to show off my new nails. I wish I could give more stars. She does it all and again the BEST!!!

Emma Morrow I have been getting my acrylics done once a month for two years at many different salons, and this is my favorite by far. The owner is friendly and welcoming, Her studio is very clean, and she has so many different supplies and charms! Her acrylic work was very neat and quick, the shaping was smooth and not too thick, and the artwork was done exactly how I wanted. This set took her about an hour and a half, and was 80$ before tip.

Sarah Johanson Annie is amazing. Her work is just wonderful. The attention to detail in cuticals, shape, clean up, coloring, and design is far superior to anyone else Ive been to. Im getting married in June and have been looking for a nail artist who could bring my vision of lace nails to life. I wanted natural coloring, round shape, and delicate art, and she nailed it.

Jasmine Henry I have been coming to see Annie for over a year now. She is the best nail artist Ive ever met and does absolutely incredible work. Im fairly clumsy, and Ive had almost no issues with my nails breaking or lifting even though I generally go 5 weeks between appointments. Her hard gel nails are incredibly strong! Its no secret why Annie stays so booked, its because shes the best nail technician in Seattle. Im here to tell you that she is absolutely worth the wait, and does incredible nail art!

April First time client. Christina is such a sweet lady and very good at what she does. My pedicure was awesome. I will definitely go back to her shop. Wonderful experience!!

Colleen LeBlanc Christina is THE best! She made sure that I was truly happy during shaping and she helped me pick out the perfect color for my dress! We talked the whole time and we really got to know each other! In addition to great service, her prices are very reasonable. Come support a woman owned and operated business! You rock Christina!

David S Hogan Christina, owner and operator, is absolutely wonderful. The shop is small, but tastefully appointed. I’m certain she stays busy, so appointments are better than walk ins. My pedicure was great, and I’ll definitely be back.

Anelese Allen Beautiful little salon. She felt very covid safe and took all the right precautions to make my appointment just so comfortable. Christina is a lovely person and she just did a perfect job!

Michele This is the best nail salon I’ve been to in Seattle. The owner Is a professional, the salon is extremely clean and she can do any type of decorative nail design you desire. Additionally, her nail works lasts and lasts due, I’m sure, to the care she uses when applying any type of nail you want. I’m a customer for life here, and I only wish I’d found this jewel years ago. Highly recommend.

Melissa Lakatos I discovered Wow Nails and Marina while searching for a salon in Seattle that offered Russian manicures and pedicures. I had my first Russian mani/pedi in NYC and I was completely hooked. I was thrilled to find Marina since most of the Russian mani/ pedi places are on the east side or just nonexistent in Seattle. I’ve been seeing her for the last year, and I love her cozy spot. Its a private room, she only takes 1 client at a time and does your entire service which feels exclusive. She is incredibly friendly and is always willing to tackle any design I bring in or helps me choose the perfect one. Marina is a total perfectionist, and the results show because I constantly get compliments on my nails. She recommends coming every 4 weeks, which I try to follow, but sometimes life happens! I have pushed the limits and my nails have lasted an impressive 5-6 weeks without any chips. Something that would not happen with traditional gel. She uses hard gel which actually better protects nails and doesn’t cause any damage. My nails are no longer brittle after seeing her regularly and grow so fast! I highly recommend Marina if you’re looking for beautiful nails or willing to try out a Russian Manicure/ Pedicure. I guarantee you won’t go back to your regular salon because of how much more precise and perfect they will look after Marina finishes them!

Ekaterina Kolosova Amazing nail place! Very clean and comfortable. The best gel manicure I’ve ever had in my life! Marina did a great job, she is very professional! Fantastic experience, and I will definitely get my next manicure and pedicure here! Highly recommend this place!

Melissa Steele Marina is highly skilled and has amazing attention to detail. She gives you her full attention and my nails turned out so well. She had to do a lot of maintenance on my nails and did so with patience and care. Highly recommend!

Sarah Wolfe Marina is the best! I have been going to her now for a few months and every time I leave my cuticles look perfect! her salon is private and clean. Not only does she do amazing simple gel manicures she can do amazing design work and created Taylor Swift nails of my dreams! She is so creative and is really excited to do fun ideas. I cannot recommend her enough.

CynC Marina is so talented! My nails have never looked better. She is very thorough and detail oriented.

Lindsay Bloom I went for an acrylic fill manicure and was very happy. The service was super friendly. Very easy to get in for an appointment. The nail tech doing my nails made sure my nails were shaped how I wanted. The station I sat at was very clean. I will definitely go back here again.

Chelsea Chrystal Highly recommend this spot! I’ve been to this spot about 4-5 times now. I only get pedicures since I do my own nails. These nail artists are the sweetest and always take their time when I go in for a treatment. My pedicure polish is always done perfectly and I always leave feeling so clean and refreshed. I also feel like the pricing is very good. I usually go for one of the more extensive treatments + gel and I usually pay around $50-$60 with tip. I believe their cheapest pedicure is $25-$30

Selena Baby Worst nail job I have ever had. The shop was empty and she rushed through my nails. She didn’t even ask what shape I wanted before she started adjusting. Each nail was a different shape and length even when I asked for almond shape to get her to fix them. She made the paint extremely thin and some paint isn’t even covering the tip of my nails. When she was removing my old gel she made my natural nail extremely thin. Nail polish is also bumpy and not smooth. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I will have to go get this fixed somewhere else!

Jenn Forbes The couple who run this nail salon are the sweetest, theyre always thrilled to see you, they do a great job and the prices are affordable. Though I get just standard colors myself, the woman there always has elaborately designed nails shes told me she does herself, so I have no doubt if youre someone who likes nail art that youll be thrilled with what she can do!

Amran Isaq Suong & Andy are the best in the city! SD nails are my go-to for nails and pedicures. I highly recommend the place, they are so loving and kind. I’ve been coming here for the past year and so and each time they give me the best treatment. If you’re looking for nails or even a full pedicure which includes stones and a deep clean. Come here!

Natalia Furgason Best manicure services I’ve had in a while, free Vietnamese coffee offered, and they were very friendly! No strong smells, very well ventilated. They took their time and did not rush, which I appreciated!!! LOVED my nails and got a punch card! I will be back. I always love getting my matte nails here. They are so patient.

Samantha Lamping I’ve been looking for a nail salon in West Seattle for a few years, and pass LN every day on my way home from work. I wish I would have tried them sooner! By far the cleanest salon I’ve ever been to and my manicure and pedicure were meticulous. I’ll definitely be a regular!

Kieu Le Got the gel manicure done here today. Very happy with the results. Love the color Chrome. The techs are efficient and friendly. I will definitely be coming back.

Alexis Stevens After getting my nails done twice, I feel confident in my review that this place is great. I find the staff to be very kind and pleasant. The location with garage parking to be ideal, and the overall quality of the services to be wonderful. I am a dip girly through and through. Allee, I will get a nail design, but I’m really just looking for a manicure that will last over two weeks and still look professional at work. I am extremely happy with the overall quality of my nails the last two times that I have come in. It has been over a year since I have found a place that I would want to go back to, and I have finally found that place! I will be a recurring client as long as I live in the area.

Melyssa Evans I love this place! Ann is the owner and she and her staff remember you and all your preferences. They don’t cut corners and do a quality job. All their equipment is top notch. And they make you feel at ease. They also do great nail art and can put on nail stickers too!

Alex V This nail salon is a small hole in the wall in lake city. Found this spot when I was looking online for salons nearby. I gave them a call and made an appointment the very next day for Saturday morning. Street parking was a little tough to find but I got free parking adjacent to lake city way. I noticed on their outdoor sign that there’s a parking garage so I’ll have to locate it next time I come! I was greeted warmly and immediately seated in the chair. I got a gel manicure and gel pedicure for $80, before tip, and it took exactly an hour to complete. I was given a nice back, hand, and calf massage as well. The salon was clean and they had many gel color options. Within the hour I was there, you could tell there were many long term returning customers who value the staff and vice-versa. Definitely come here next time you’re looking to get your nails done!

Michelle Laudenbach Searched for a nail place near me, found this place and had a really good experience. I had a fill. Everyone working here seems to enjoy what they do and strive for giving the customer a great product. Im relatively new to getting my nails done but I feel the nails I got were essentially perfect quality ☺️

Riley Russell Super cute nails, able to do designs on short notice, great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place!

Sadie Josephs I think I found my new favorite salon! My nails were ruined after a gel builder removal at another salon so I was looking for a place that did the IBX nail treatment which is supposed to help repair and strengthen nails. The place was busy on a Friday night, but I completely see why. Everyone there is super friendly and there were a lot of regular clients. They do really good work and are very clean/hygienic. Jenny did my manicure/treatment and she was fantastic! She was so careful about my damaged nails and gave a lot of great information about how to keep them strong while they repair and what types of polish would be best. She took extra care when painting my nails to fill them in so they looked even (despite having a few nails that had exposed nail bed and deep ridges from previous over grinding/removal). I am so happy with how my nails came out! Prices were very reasonable and for the quality of work well worth it. I’ll definitely be returning for my nail care and pedicures in the future - it’s great they have another location in Fremont as well!

Julia Chiang Had an amazing appointment with Tin! Ive never gotten nail art/had my nails done professionally before and she was very kind and understanding about my ignorance. She was also able to adapt my inspo photos to my short nails without any notice. I went in with lowish expectations just because Ive never had this done before and am aware that my nails are on the smaller side but she did an absolutely incredible job. Honestly I would have been happy if she stopped after the first stage of painting the miniscule blue flowers but my mind was just blown further with every new layer she added. Honestly, as a first timer I also appreciated that she just looked at my photos and created her own vision - I have no knowledge of nail techniques or color palettes so I would never have been able to come up with something like this on my own. Will definitely book with her again!

Kim Dill-McFarland Do you want nail art? Then come here. It is an amazing women owned business with super talented artists. Here are some of my visits over the last year+ with Katie. 10/10 this is my nail place and I love that they also now have a second location in Fremont!

Maleah Fox I got my nails done on 1/22, and after almost a week of trying to sit with my experience, I have to be honest—I don’t think I’ll be returning to this salon. I booked a Gel Pedicure and Manicure with nail art, specifically choosing this place because their Instagram showcased impressive designs. I’ve always loved intricate nail art, but since moving back to WA, I’ve struggled to find the same level of quality and skill I was used to. Unfortunately, this visit was no exception. Pedicure: I opted for the Gel Milky Silk Pedicure to soften my skin, but the water was lukewarm at best and only got colder over time. From my understanding, warm water is necessary to properly exfoliate, yet I sat in cool water for over 15 minutes. The result? My feet are now rougher, drier, and peeling more than before I came in. Manicure & Nail Art: Before my appointment, I sent in an inspiration board for my nails, hoping to achieve a specific look. Since I wanted to keep my natural nails, I understood that certain designs might need to be adjusted. However, past nail techs have always been able to modify a design to accommodate shorter lengths—this wasn’t the case here. Not only did I have to scrap my original design due to my nail length, but I also had to find a new reference photo because I wanted gold details instead of silver. (Why not just swap the silver for gold?) On top of that, they didn’t have or couldn’t create the purple-green chameleon effect I requested. At that point, I was ready to settle for a simple purple cat-eye. Still, my tech insisted on trying. They layered multiple polishes in an attempt to replicate it. The result wasn’t even close. With all the layers applied, the final product was apparently thick enough that I was told I’d need to go to another nail salon for removal since this salon doesn’t do drill-offs. That was shocking. By then, the whole experience felt so frustrating and deflating that I just nodded along, desperate to leave. Now, not even seven days later, the tips of my nails are already worn down, exposing the layers underneath. The one redeeming quality is that the guarantee their nails for 10 days and if something happens I was told they would invite you back to fix it. Unfortunately, with my experience, I dont think I will take them up on that offer. Overall, I wanted to love this place, but the experience—from the cold pedicure to the overly complicated nail art process—left me disappointed.

Marianne Luíza I’ve been a client of the Wallingford/Fremont unit since it opened, and recently I decided to try the Ballard location. The team there is amazing, but for the first time, I experienced an issue with the nail polish quality. The polish on my fingernails started to chip just one day after getting my nails done, which was pretty frustrating. I made sure not to expose my nails to any products that could have caused this. I’m sharing this not as a complaint but as a heads-up.

Adam Quillian I. Love. This. Place. Consistently fantastic work, super friendly and personable staff with great skills (and beverages!). The artistry is top notch and I am consistently left feeling thrilled. Came in today to get my Christmas nails and Mandy took great care of me, adding her own touch of design and festivities. I’ve been coming here for a year and a half and don’t know how I’d ever go somewhere else. :)

Kendra Baker I’ve been seeing Hannah for gel extensions and nail designs, and she’s amazing! She’s always excited and willing to try the new designs I find online and consistently brings my vision to life. Her attention to detail and creativity are unmatched. On top of that, she’s super nice and great to work with. I highly recommend coming here and booking with Hannah if you can—you won’t be disappointed!

Baionne Coleman Michaela did a phenomenal job on my nails. Exactly what I wanted. She was polite, patient, and had great customer service. Ruby did my pedicure and it also turned out awesome. Ruby was so sweet and massaged my legs and feet so good! This was my first time and they just stole my past salons customer. Ill be back obviously!

Miranda Shao-Davis I’ve been coming to Royal Nails for a while now for my monthly self care recommended by a friend in town. I usually get gel builder which lasts anywhere from 3-5 weeks. From my bachelorette to my wedding, Mandy, Micaela, Hannah and the rest of the Royal Nails team has always taken care of me. Truly love their attention to detail and ability to take my inspiration and love for nail art to the next level!

Betty Wong First time at Royal Nails and Michaela is amazing!!! She does such beautiful work and is so attentive. You can really tell that she puts so much care into all the details. I got Gel X, chrome, ombre, and it turned out so beautiful. Id definitely go back!

Liz Boyle Service: Full hair vivid color with highlights plus hair cut. Review Summary: One of the best experiences Ive had at a salon, would definitely recommend. I worked with Bebe at the recommendation of a friend and am so pleased with the outcome, I will happily make the long trip down to this place to work with them again! The staff are friendly, extremely knowledgeable, fast, and really good at their work. I was there on a Monday for about 3 1/2 hours for my hair and saw numerous people come through, many of them regulars, everyone leaving happy and with great looking haircuts. The phone rang frequently and staff were able to fit most people in at their desired times, while still giving lots of attention to the people they were currently working with. Thank you so much!!!

Jodi Witt If I could give 0 stars I would. I walked in with a picture of a hair cut. Longer and fuller on the top, short under. It took the hair dresser 5 minutes to razor my hair off. It’s way too short now. Looks nothing like the picture. I need a hat. It will take 2 months for my hair to get to the length of the picture when it was longer before the cut. She spoke in different language to her coworkers and not a word to me until I screamed as she went after my bangs. I will never go there again for anything. -After posting this review, my coworker said to always ask for Tina or Bebe. The first initial of the woman who took out my hair started with a Q.

Monikka Pegs I am an African American woman who wears weaves. Tina does the BEST bob cut on extensions EVER!! I get so many compliments . They are so blunt and perfect! And they do amazing eyebrows! She has been in business since I was a child! Everyone loves Tina’s in the community

Akanksha Sharma I went there to get haircut for my 3.5 year old daughter. They did an amazing job and they were so nice with her. I showed her inspiration pics and she did better job than the pics. It was also cost effective and quick. I am extremely happy and will definitely come again.

Hong Ta Do not go here for nails- there is only one nail tech for fingers and it was not a pleasant experience. I happened to be in the area and stopped by. I repeatedly communicated that she missed several spots on the polish but she was rushing and insisted she didn’t. (See picture) My nail was slightly broken and needed to be fixed, but as you can see, her repair job was not up to par. I had on green gel polish on beforehand and you can still see parts of it on my nails below the new color. I let the tech know it was still there, but she also ignored me. It ended up just looking very dirty. She used a very abrasive method of scraping it off without letting it soak in the polish remover first and it left my nails very very brittle. It took months for them to recover.

Diana Nice pedicures for only $25. Much less than the fancy salons, and very relaxing. I havent tried it yet, but hear that the facials are good, too. 2003 - The price has gone up ($40) but the service remains the same.

Brittany Tucker I just stopped by to get a quick pedicure and they said they couldn’t take me because they were busy. There were 2 techs and 1 customer. Not sure why they didn’t want my business but walk ins clearly not welcome.

Heather Hickman I loved this place! The gals are so sweet and delicate, very detail oriented. They said they’d been operating there for 16 years, and I know why! Provided excellent service and at a great price, I will definitely be exclusively coming here for my bi-weekly mani/pedi!

Maura I just moved to the neighborhood and decided to walk over to get a manicure. They were very friendly. The woman who helped me (I did not get her name) noticed right away that the dark green color I picked looked very light so she assured me she would do 3 coats. After 3 coats it was still brighter than what I picked out but it was pretty so I didn’t mind. But she was determined to get it right. She offered to find another color to layer over it and it turned out perfect. She definitely went above and beyond to fix something that I wasn’t even going to complain about because it wasn’t her fault. I love my nails and will be back. Thank you!!

Divya Kapuria I really liked my nails. I walked in late without a reservation and they still accommodated me and didn’t rush the process. The attention to detail was great! My technician Lily was awesome. I recently moved to this neighborhood and glad I found a salon that I like!

Nevrize Aydogan First time going there, but this is it! I found now one of my favorite neighborhood nail salon; let me explain the details. First of all nail technician was super caring and paid attention to details. The place was so calm and they were so welcoming I stayed there way more than 1 hr after my nail got done and they still didn’t rush me to leave while I was waiting my nails to dry. I am definitely going there again and recommend this place wholeheartedly.

Katherine Cuervo I loved this place, I recommend it, the girls are kind and they did my nails very well. The name of the girl who did my nails is Sam.

Ananya Their service was friendly and the dip nails were done okay! For the cost to result comparison, I think there are better options in the area. The dip manicure didn’t come with a nail soak, lotion, or any other components I am used to seeing with a manicure. That difference didn’t result in a difference of price though, which is where my rating is a little lower. All the nail techs were very sweet though!
