Nail Salons 15 Reviews in Tacoma, WA (Part 3)

Cassie Dallas Just moved to the area from Seattle so we were looking for our new spot. My boyfriend & I came in for gel pedicures & left so happy! All techs were very kind— we had Mary & Leah I believe, would definitely go see them again!!

Stacy Swink Sophie does the best job and I love her sense of humor! Everyone else there is super nice too! I totally recommend- my nails and toes look amazing, as usual!!

Lateefa Meyers I love coming here. Everyone is so kind and they do a great job on my nails. Love that price also includes a massage and beverage. Very reasonable given the cost of nails these days.

Kristen Shorrock My nails look good, were some of the best in the area that I’ve experienced, but weren’t what I requested. Ultimately one of the better manicures (dip) that I’ve gotten here, but overall would have preferred more expertise on nail design and art, since I came in with an idea and had to adjust when I was told my idea couldn’t be done with what they had in the salon. My nail tech was kind, friendly, and professional.

Margarita Garcia This is my second time here and just like last time Everyone was super nice! I love the color the massage everything! Will be coming back in the future!

Karina Bykhnyuk Wish I could put 0 stars! I never put in the time to write reviews but my toe nails have been in pain ever since so I feel like I have! Whatever you do DO NOT GO HERE! I went here for the first time ever in January and they did such a horrible job! Should’ve gotten a clue when I came in and the salon had only one other person getting a pedicure on Saturday… I had my pedicure done and their prices are up there and it was so bad even paid extra for the massage and she seemed very inexperienced and did the bare minimum. I have since had 3 of the most painful ingrowns! She cut them so short on the edges and the polish came off on the of the toes the second week. They claim they don’t do water bowls because it’s not sanitary but I’ve never had so many nail infections in my life I’d rather go to a regular nail salon. Please save yourself the time and money and a possible infection!

Sonja Jordan I had an appointment this afternoon as a little treat as I don’t get my nails done very often at all. It was such a wonderful experience! My nails came out clean, smooth, and look fantastic. You don’t even miss the soaking aspect of a manicure in my opinion. Also! They make their own lemon shea butter hand rub and it is SO NICE. I’ll be back again when I’m need of some TLC :)

Lisa Nguyen Mixed Experience: Clean Environment, Friendly Staff, but Inconsistent Quality I recently visited Charme for the second time, and while there were some aspects I enjoyed, there were also some disappointments. Positives: Firstly, I appreciated the cleanliness of the salon and the pleasant ambiance created by their good music selection. The owner exuded friendliness, and it was evident that her regular clients held her in high regard. The presence of a friendly dog added to the welcoming atmosphere, which was a nice touch. Additionally, their booking system was hassle-free, making scheduling a breeze. My technician was also helpful in assisting me with selecting a polish color, which was appreciated. Additionally, I commend my technician for their professionalism and patience. After I accidentally messed up the polish on my toes, they graciously fixed the issue without displaying any signs of annoyance or frustration. This level of customer service was truly commendable and enhanced my overall impression of the salon. Negatives: However, despite these positives, I was left underwhelmed by the quality of the service I received. The paint job on my nails was inconsistent and uneven, with noticeable gaps near the cuticle edges. While I understand that I opted for the bijou manicure with "light cuticle" care, I was surprised to learn that this meant not cutting the cuticles at all, only pushing them back. Even considering the condition of my cuticles, I expected a more consistent paint application. Moreover, the polish exhibited a few bubbles, which detracted from the overall finish. Its unclear whether this issue stemmed from the type of polish (non-toxic) or the top coat used. Overall, while I appreciated the positive aspects of my experience at Charme, the inconsistency in the quality of the service left me feeling somewhat dissatisfied. I would recommend clarifying expectations regarding cuticle care and discussing any concerns about polish application with the technician beforehand.

Megan Sayegh I wanted to love this place so badly! I had such high hopes but unfortunately was a little disappointed. I specifically booked with Martina as I saw on Instagram she’s the owner and wanted to experience her art! However, when I got there I was put with someone else which was a little disappointed. Overall, my mani pedi looks good, except for a few minor flaws that I noticed once getting home. There are raised bumps on many of the nails, the polish is a bit uneven, and they started chipping within two days. I also think I was overcharged by $10 but maybe they upped their prices from the website. Everyone was lovely and I did enjoy the warm neck pillow so I’ll give it another chance, but definitely had super high expectations that weren’t quite met this time!

Izabella Buchanan Wonderful nail salon! Its by appointment only, which I loved as I felt that I had their full attention for my entire experience. The owner is very funny and really cares about running a great salon. I loved the waterless pedicure. It definitely felt much more sanitary. I could go on. I definitely highly recommend.

Lisa Wood Ive finally found my new go-to nail salon! From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued customer. The staff were so kind and attentive. They truly listened to my vision and took the time to create exactly what I wanted. Their attention to detail is incredible – every stroke and placement was meticulous. I left feeling pampered and absolutely in love with my nails. These are true artists!"

Christina Hernandez This place is incredible!! Not Only are they friendly and sweet their work of art is outstanding!! Income here over and over again! Come check them out!!!

Emily G The nail artists are attentive and detail-oriented, and this salon offers high-quality service at a good price. Tina is an absolute genius when it comes to nails, colour, design, cuticle care, she has it all and much more!

Kelly Wilson Went in to get a fill that I had done elsewhere reshaped and re painted. They did a wonderful job making all my nails the same length and shape and did a fun Halloween design. Ive tried a lot of nail salons in Pierce county in the last ten years and this is one of the few that I have never left disappointed. Here’s a before and after to show how much better they look. The before are multi colored the after are the black.

Natalia DN has always gotten me right. Customer service is amazing and the end result is beautiful, and it lasts a long time. I’m so grateful to have found my forever place

Azita McDowell Unfortunately my nails are already lifting after not even two weeks. The sides were also not filed down. I also got cut bloody during my pedicure and getting my nails done. I didn’t expect this service after reading the reviews. Definitely won’t be coming back and won’t recommend.

Taylor Winkler I love coming here! I have gotten a full set, two fills, and a pedicure so far and have been happy every time. The nail techs are very talented, helpful, and friendly! I also think they have fair prices.

Sandra Cardona Jenny is amazing at hearing out what you want. My husband and I are very specific with our pedicures. Jenny goes out of her way to get my husband’s ingrown out and clean around the nails really well. While Lisa does my pedicure. She is also great and gives good conversation while getting your service. Jenny also did a short full set.

Kelsey Z This place is the BEST! I love coming here the shop is so cute and the nail techs are amazing. I’ve been going to zenny (Jenny) for probably close to 10 years I met her when I was in high school and she’s been my nail tech ever since. Her work is amazing and her pricing is amazing. i go here for everything my nails, toes, eyebrows and lashes I would never go anywhere else after the experiences I’ve had with her and her sister. I love them to pieces ❤️

Angela Del Grosso- Thompson We love Oscars Nails Salon! The ladies are very sweet and quick! We will be back!

Sierra Higashi Nina executed the task ! You can tell she enjoys doing what she loves . Thanks you so much Nina ! I will be back for another set soon .

Tiana Perry Nina did such a great job on my nails! I used to come here a while back but had to stop due to it being so far.. I used to come from Everett. Now I live in Seattle and this is still my number one spot in mind. Friendly staff, efficient service, great vibes, what more can you ask for?? Absolutely in love with how my nails turned out

Carly Manweiler I’ve been going here for a long time. Beautiful salon, good prices, and great color selection. Thao does amazing nail design.

T L Was not disappointed at all! I had Vincent as my nail tech and he is truly the best. I love his application and attention to detail. These nails came out perfect for my sisters wedding worth the 40 minute drive for these nails

C Duda This is the BEST manicure and pedicure I’ve had done. I did the basic pedicure and she took her time and totally ok with me changing colors before the painting started. I got a Gelx set and seriously the best looking nails I’ve ever had. When I wasn’t sure about the color she painted one nail and cured it a couple times so I could see the finished color. Overall it was an excellent experience. I should note that I went in at 11am on a Wednesday, so the place was empty and I had 2 nail techs attend to me right away. But doesn’t change the fact it was a great experience

Stacey Nosky This was my first time at Nail Pros and they did a very thorough job! I got the special pedicure with gel nail color. They spent over an hour. I liked the option of a complimentary drink. Very clean environment! I would go back again.

Amber Kennedy-Horta Never returning. I’m absolutely disappointed in how the customer service has gone down in this place. The nail techs are always rushing. They don’t listen and do what they want, even after explaining multiple times what it was that I wanted and I experienced people come in after me and was offered complimentary beverages but I wasn’t. And now because the nail tech didn’t properly seal my nails and rushed through the process, my nails are damaged, brittle and I have mold/fungus. This place has completely ruined my nail experience. Go somewhere else. Idc how desperate you are.

Mikaela Cheledinas I tried this salon today after seeing so many amazing reviews. I did not leave this salon disappointed. They were very kind and did a beautiful job. I love my nails and my confidence got a boost from the experience as well.

Jen Kerschner I took my mom for a girl date. She is disabled and on oxygen. We made an appointment that we were a little early for and they were still totally welcoming and got us in right away. I was expecting a little wait but they were ready for us. It wasnt super busy; there were a handful of other customers getting things done. I really feel like they go out of their way to make everyone feel special and important. Ive been here with my friends before and it was amazing then as well. My mom was so thrilled with everything and felt so pampered, priceless. Totally recommend the jelly pedi, its incredible.

Sally Stewart I have always had great service at a great price and get treated the same regardless of of they are busy or not. My nails are fun and always well done. Family environment, high quality and overall fantastic experience!!

Diana Petrukhina In the past few years I’ve gotten my nails done all over the USA. I have never been more impressed with any salon than I am with this one, though. I came in as a walk in and was immediately taken back, and Sue did the best job I can imagine. The attention to detail, and true mastery of the skill was impeccable. I’ve never had anyone truly take the time to make sure that my nails were perfect before, and I am in awe of what a great job Sue did.

Alyssa Wong They did a great job with the nails and they were very friendly, my only concern is the cleanliness of the salon. I got my nails done and liked them but there was a hair in the gel nail. All supplies seemed to be used/I couldn’t tell when they were cleaned. Great prices though!

K Jack I always have a fantastic experience when I visit this nail salon. There has not been a nail technician yet that has disappointed me.

Sydney graham I absolutely love Bella Proctor Salon! The team here is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about the health of their clients’ nails. It’s clear they prioritize quality and long-term care, which is why I won’t go anywhere else for my nails. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a few different nail techs here, and every single one has been exceptional. I’ve been going there about a year. For the past two visits, I’ve had Haley, and she is simply amazing! She’s so talented, attentive, and always makes sure my nails look perfect while staying healthy. Honestly, I trust anyone at Bella Proctor Salon to do a phenomenal job. They’re true professionals who create a welcoming and relaxing experience every time. I finally remembered to leave a review for them because their staff and management go above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Sara Ivey Ive been going to La Bella for almost a year, and its time that I pen a review: 5 stars for their quality of service. With an incredible selection of dip colors and the best trained technicians Ive encountered, you will not find a better salon in Tacoma (or elsewhere) for a dip manicure (or other manicure or pedicure service). The prices are competitive. Technicians take time and care with their services. Basically: come here for nails.

Sabrina Enders I came as a walk-in and was seen right away. My nail tech, Amy, was wonderful and knowledable and very funny. I had a fantastic time, and look forward to coming back.

Sadie Winters The pricing is standard (same as other salons) but the quality of service and work they do is well above average. I’ve had 2 g manicures, 1 full set of acrylics and 3 fills, seeing a total of 4 different nail techs there. Each one was great, I was happy with their work every single time. I had tried two other salons previously and wasn’t super happy with their work (manicures didn’t last as long or they cut too much cuticle and made me bleed) but a friend recommended La Bella and I’m extremely happy with them. I get so many compliments on my nails.

Skylar Ramsdall This is hands down the best and ONLY nail salon in Tacoma I use. Definitely call to book an appointment if you are in a rush! These ladies stay busy because they are absolutely amazing and take their time to perfect every little detail! Pictured are just a few of the crazy designs Ive asked them to do, and they have brought to life every single time! They take pride in their work, and I have never left dissatisfied! The price is fair for the service and quality of the nails. Thank you, Hannah, for always doing an amazing job and always being so positive and friendly! You and your crew are the best❤️

Amanda D My new favorite place to go! So much attention to detail, I love my nails and they take their time and listen to you. They came out great and I couldnt be happier ❤️ I got these cute little Valentines gel nails on my fingers and toes. So cute!

Anita Briski I showed the nail artist a photo I found online and asked her to adapt it to fit my nail length and do what she thought was best. She did an AMAZING job. One of my middle finger nails broke recently so its extra short, but she trimmed my longer nails perfectly and matched them up without even having to hold them side-by-side to compare. My pinky nails grow fairly crooked and she was able to file them so you can barely tell. She really took her time to blend the ombre color and I super appreciated it! She was very careful when pushing and trimming cuticles and buffing and filing the nails. Some salons are very rough and careless so I was worried to try somewhere new but I was very pleased with the service I received. It was obvious from the beginning that this artist was experienced, talented, and patient! My friend also showed a photo and got a way better looking design than the inspo photo but I do not have photos of their nails to share here. A different woman (who I think the artist referred to as her mother) did my pedicure and she was very soft and gentle when I told her that I am very ticklish. The calf and foot massage was firm but not painful. I just got the basic pedicure which included exfoliation and lotion. There was an option for one that had a paraffin wax dip. Overall I would say it was a good pedicure and I had no complaints. We will DEFINITELY be returning to Unique Nails for our next manicures. *Edit to add that we were a walk-in and the artist apologized for keeping us waiting even though they were obviously busy and I didnt mind the wait at all. I would definitely recommend making an appointment because I only saw three staff members so theyre probably short handed. I never felt rushed and everyone was so friendly.

Jasmine Dominguez I’ve been going to Unique Nails on 6th Ave for 10+ years! The women take great care of you. Complimentary drinks when waiting for your turn. I have long nails and getting a fill with Gel only takes 45min - 1hour to get done. Lots of fun new colors to choose from, 3D art and more ! Pedicure Massages will make you fall asleep. The managers there are amazing! They know exactly what you need. I definitely recommend bringing your friends here to relax!

Angela Orr DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! The nail techs are all so skilled, and Lucy gave me the best manicure I’ve ever had. The music is good, the space is clean, comfortable, and cute- for the price it’s more than you could ask for. This is my new regular spot!

Bridget Max Best nail salon ever. I have been going there for a year now and I have no complaints. They have high quality gel polish that doesn’t chip compared to other places. They have a lovely front desk lady who is always on top of welcoming clients and their nail techs are all very professional and have a keen eye for designs you want them to work with. 10/10

amya clary This is THE best nail shop in Lakewood!! I came here for a regular manicure after a terrible experience with acrylics. Hannah was my nail tech and encouraged me to get a gel manicure to help my nails look better, so I took her advice and don’t regret it at all. She was so kind and her work was very precise. Everything in the salon was clean and they used new tools on me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will for sure be returning!!

Kim Helly Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate! She’s the best! I had a hard time trying other techs and other places while she was gone but couldn’t find anything close to her work. She’s really good at shaping and always making sure my nails are smooth, my cuticle is flesh. I recommended most of my coworkers to her and all of them are happy ❤️ Glad Elly Nails can have her back!

Emma Perez I have been going here for 2 years now, Kate is amazing she remembers what shape and length I like, she remembers personal details we’ve talked about. The whole staff is talented and very friendly. Yousaf works the front desk and remembers the guest and greets them by name and makes sure all the complementary snacks are in stock. I absolutely love this place and their designs and quality never disappoint

Sierra Straub Ive been here twice now and each time its been amazing! I get a gel manicure and they do a fantastic job. The gel polish is never thick or misshapen. I truly love my nails everytime I get them done here!

Jacquie Jack Had GEL nails on 2 weeks. Nails came off. A little over 2 weeks nails, on the other hand, came off. $65 for a set, and they dont last. Wont be back. Horrible job. Not worth $65

Bree Hall I came in as a walk in today about noon. The ladies were not busy as they only had one other customer in there. I asked for a Mani/Pedi and the lady came out with a sheet with 4 different choices have pedicures on it ranging from $40 through $60. I chose the $45 one it was amazing. But when it came to the Polish the lady put on the wrong polish for one and it started coming off right as I left the salon. Now when she started my manicure figured the Ifat I would be receiving acrylic nails and that was not the case and the polish on my fingernails was even worse its been about 4 hours and its almost all gone.

Carina Collard Always a good experience with these ladies ❤️ Now I just let Jenny choose my nails and I am never disappointed! So I missed a couple of months during a move and was greeted like an old friend. Also came up with an idea that Jenny had never tried before. Ask her if she could do it and she said she would try. Not only did she try she did an amazing job and I have the cutest ladybug nails!

Natalie Orji Ohhhhh my gawwwdddd I’m soooo soo in love with my nails. Yalll need to come and book with Christine as she’s so damn gifted!!!!! Christine you rocked the shit outta these nails!!!!!!! I looooove my nails so much!!!!! Can I now be your client????? She deserves a 20/5 stars…. She’s never been inconsistent….

Kiy Big Ain’t nothing princess about these nails! I did a gel manicure … not even a full week has gone by: my skin is pealing because they did not do a full manicure the right way and my paint keeps chipping because they laid it on too thick. 0/10 will not repeat $118 in the trash

Ermintrude Gonzalez I went for a nude base with gold accents on my acrylic nails. The gold lines are so sleek and give the nails a modern and luxurious feel. I love how the nude tone makes it subtle yet elegant. The staff did her job very well and carefully! Will come back more~

Meagan The trashiest set I’ve ever received. $55 for dip with tips (no acrylic) and was told at the very end that the color I picked wasn’t good and they tried to paint over my dip with gel. Which after leaving makes sense cause there’s issues with pigment on every nail. They filed down my dip so much the clear tips are visible on every nail. I would’ve stayed to have them “fixed” but the only solution offered was painting them an entirely different color with gel when I paid for dip. You’ve been warned.

Nichole Womack This was my first visit as this salon, as I was meeting up with a friend. The reviews in this place had me confident enough to book an appointment for us. I’m not sure who everyone else used but we were both extremely let down by the three ladies who did ours. The two ( I did not get their names) who did my pedicure and the dip on my nails need some more training at least. The atmosphere and the people working there are extremely nice, my review is based upon work only. Starting with my pedicure. I injured my big toe years ago which broke my nail dang near in half. The healing fused my skin in the middle so I get build up there easily. I told the pedicurist that she couldn’t clip that nail but file only. She filed every nail instead of clipping. When I inquired about it she then told me “ every nail is like this” pointing to my big toe. I then told her “ no you can clip the rest like normal “ I get my toes done every month, so I know it can be done. She responded “ your toes to small to work with clippers” I let it go after that. She left a lot of my previous color on my toes and just painted over them. Basically paid for my feet to be washed and painted. Now for my dip, I requested at the start for my nails to be soaking before I sat for my dip. I know some salons apparently like to grind everything off and my nail beds are sore after that. So I like to soak in the foil and acetone while I get my toes done so that all the dip powder slides off when it’s time. Not this time.. they foiled wrapped like normal, but she was in just a rush that she came back over several times removed the foil and filed away. Needless to say by the time I made it to her table I’m already upset over my toes and the fact that the didn’t listen on my nails I wanted dip with gel polish. She used colored dip. I had the gel polished picked out from my toes. She left jagged edges, dried dip powder in my nails, bubbles and grit from the powder being set, I’ve got uneven nails, my actual nail looks wavy and then I’ve got uneven application were she was trying to cover the side of my nail where she as well left old color and previous dip powder that she couldn’t get off. I had to do some of my own filing on the sides to just get my skin separated from my nail. I’ll never be back. Again, they were nice and the place was clean, but the quality I got left with was not worth the price I paid.

Foul-Mouthed Frankie I hadnt gotten a mani/pedi in a couple of years due to an unfortunate experience at a different salon, nothing I blamed the salon for because Im diabetic and prone to infection, there was a small nic that unfortunately got infected. Sadly, it made me reticent to get one at all after that. My mother treated me for my birthday and I decided to give it a try. When I told Tina about why I hadnt had a salon service like this in a while, she was extra careful and between her and Amanda, I had a fabulous return to a salon experience. And after all the fabulous treatment, I got my eyebrows waxed (fixed) and they look fantastic now. The entire staff was friendly and it was a wonderful day for me! I will definitely be returning!

Tracy Hudson "TOUCHDOWN FOR ASIA NAILS!!! Bebe’s Dip Nails nailed it – PERFECT Chiefs hombre dip nails & amazing pedicures! Friendly service, flawless artistry! 5 isn’t enough – totally recommend!" Chriss pedicure skills flawless, friendly service – totally recommend!"

Ali Sanders These lady’s are amazing!!! The pictures I provided aren’t amazing but these are the best nails I’ve ever had and I’ve been getting my nails done for years. They were so sweet and before we began asked if I needed anything to drink. I was paired with Emy and she was incredible, every step along the way she asked if I was happy with the process and made me feel completely comfortable to ask if I needed anything changed. Everything I noticed that I would have mentioned I would like changed, as I was thinking it she would move on to fix … literally a mind reader!! The shape, color, and overall result are exactly what I wanted. If you’re looking for a place you can rely on this is definitely the place … I’ll absolutely be coming back.

Tina Tricks I had a fantastic experience at Asia Nails. The salon was clean, the staff were super friendly, and my nail technician did an amazing job. I was lucky that day and got to be their first client to try cateye polish! Asia Nails is the salon with the biggest selection of nail products I know and ever seen. They seriously have everything and keep up with latest treads. I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for top-notch service!

rachael meek I have been trying to find a new nail place in Tacoma, and with all the high reviews I had high hopes for this place. The techs were very nice and my pedicure was great. But when you pay $105 for a basic pedi and dip nails I expected better quality. They also wanted to close early for Halloween and I felt rushed once finished and was not able to sit and let my toes dry. My nails are an absolute mess, specs of dust and black dots in them, color on tips of nails was filed down too much, uneven thickness and stuck to my skin. I will not be back.

DeAnna Moved to Tacoma a few months ago and my mom took me here. BEST DECISION EVER! I go every two weeks and my nails always look amazing. Nancy does amazing work. She can do any design you show her. And she even gives ideas as well. Definitely the best nail salon.

kaitlyn Zemp First time going here! They were very friendly right when I showed up, offered free beverages and had tons of nail colors to pick from! My nail tech kept asking if I was okay and how I liked the shape and everything, really friendly! Loved how my nails turned out color, and shape are great!

Veronica Ortega New to the area and wanted designed nails for my trip to Mexico. Saw pictures of others and went based on the reviews. It has now been a month since and they still look amazing. The technician did a beautiful job and nailed the look I wanted. She was fast. It was a bit of the wait. But think totally worth it. I’ll be returning.

Fre sha vaca do The space is so peaceful and cozy! I got my nails done by Nancy for my 19th birthday, and she did so well! Shes so sweet and was totally able and willing to do my design. I have incredibly small hands, so I was a little concerned on whether my design would be too difficult due to some small details, but she executed them flawlessly! Absolutely recommend this place!!!
