Nail salon 21 Reviews in Seattle, WA

Leiren Designs The best pedicure I have had in town. I usually get the deluxe, but this time did the signature which included more massage and it was heavenly. I have had Vincent do my pedi and mani a few times now and he is so meticulous. The usually can accommodate walking in too, which is super helpful.

A T Striber Ive been to Hava Nails twice now (once as prep for my wedding)and loved my nails both times! I get the dip, deluxe manicure and its so worth it. I chose this business originally as I was searching for a salon that had COVID protocol in place. Their location is clean and everyone is wearing a mask. Im docking one point only because at my second visit, another customer was not complying with their mask rules. I understand its not Havas fault and they did give her a mask when she didnt arrive with one. However, this customer sat in the pedicure chair without the mask on and they let her stay. For a location clearly caring about pandemic safety, I would expect theyd say she needs to comply or hit the road!

N A I got a standard mani-pedi with regular, non-gel polish at this location. The location is new and very clean inside. Mostly very well ventilated and the air doesnt smell like cleaning chemicals or acetone outside of one small area. The chairs and equipment are new and clean. The pedicure was average, felt very perfunctory but I feel that is the case for most nail salons and nail treatments done outside of a spa setting. My boyfriend liked it so much he almost fell asleep it was so relaxing! The manicure was good too, and didnt take very long. They really push the gel polish here like most places. But I was shocked at how long my manicure lasted! Still going strong 10 days later. I would highly recommended if you need quality polish to last a long time.

S S Pretty happy with how these turned out. They were able to get me in same day. Process took a while (hour and a half) and was a liiitle pricey ($64 before tip) but they look good. Didn’t go full 5 star because quality wise it was a little messy - gel on nail beds and on skin etc.

Heather Zhang I got shellac nails done, and it was very visibly not over the entire nail, even after they removed my cuticles. I had to wait about 20 minutes during a weekday afternoon too. Im fairly disappointed with the service, the nails are also a bit bumpy instead of smooth because the nail technician had to go over some spots multiple times. And she frequently got polish underneath the fingernails, which was really unpleasant and took a few days to slowly scrape off. Actual durability is good though, I havent seen any wear after two weeks.

Nanaelp Overcharged me for a gel manicure I asked for dip powder. They did not give me dip they gave me just gel and kept telling me it was dip powder and charged me $80. Never have I ever paid $80 for just a gel manicure which has already started chipping and breaking. I should have checked reviews before coming. I didnt come to argue then be overcharged for crappy service and not what I asked for. do NOT get any service done here they are scammers. I want my $80 back.

Tiny Tiger I broke a nail, and after I tried to use nail glue, and then press on nails to keep nail together, both methods failed. So, realizing I was starting to damage my nails, I panicked and made an appointment with Bojour to have acrylics put on. Ive only had a couple of manicures on my natural nails and had no idea what to expect. From start to finish, I was unsettled, but i figured i was just nervous to do a new thing. Despite me making an appointment, I had to wait a half hour for them to start. They didnt remove the nail glue from the drug store nails before filling (despite me specificity saying that it was there). I tried to ask questions about the process, and the nail tech asked if i was ok rather than answering my questions. They didnt push back my cuticles, and just a few days later, they already looked to me like they needed a fill. The nails themselves are super thick and uneven. I asked the tech to cut them short enough to be able to type for work, and she left them too long to do so. They put on a different color than I asked, when I tried to say something the manager came over and said that it was dark purple and would look like the color I picked when they put more coats on - I wanted a dark indigo but I got a deep plumb. There was a language barrier, and I have an auditory processing issue, so at the time, I chocked some of this up to the communication barriers. It happens to me a lot, so I just try not to be a bother and trust the professionals. Now, Im a week and a half out, and Im seeing lifting on most of the nails. The right pointer finger is the worst and is catching on my hair and clothes at the back end of the nail. Im also seeing a lot of chipping at the tips (was supposed to be gel polish). When it was time to pay, I was hesitant, and the tech pressured me into giving her a tip. I just paid and got out of there. I wont be back.

Robert Malcolm Great salon! All newly renovated, really sharp. Great attention to detail with their service. Without a doubt the best pedicure Ive had here.

Autumn Simpson Lately, every time I come here, I leave with air bubbles and tiny hairs visible in my polish. Additionally, they dont use a fast drying top coat so its easy to smudge your nails hours after the appointment. The last time I pointed it out, the staff tried to accuse me of ruining it myself and when I called to speak to the owner, they lied and said I had the wrong business and hung up on me. This is a very mismanaged business and their service has really gone downhill this last year.

Tabitha Hake-Evans They made my finger bleed, didnt finish cutting my cuticles, and wasnt able to do a simple heart design on my nails. When I asked for a discount they told me "it happens, sometimes your fingers bleed" and said that the designs never look 100% the same as in photos. I didnt expect perfection but her design was so off I wouldnt even call it a heart. She even went so far as calling me a liar. Just wow. No apologies from them just rudeness. I also got their 50$ pedicure that was just 30 min of half effort foot care. Dont bother coming here. Update: THE NEXT DAY my gel cracked off. Which according to other reviews, is something that happens often here.

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.

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!

Rebecca Katz Incredible! I got dip and he gave me a beautiful shape, no bubbles, sturdy but not too chunky looking. He was also not overly drill-happy and was careful to soak off the final layer of my previous polish. Also he asked if I wanted lotion or cuticle oil, which I really appreciated because I am sensitive to fragrance and generally don’t like when salons do it without asking first. I will definitely come back next time I am in Seattle!

Jessica Allossery I’ve been here a couple times - what I appreciate is the salon getting me in quickly and sometimes without an appointment. But I went here today and was sorely disappointed. The woman seemed like she was rushing through my mani and pedi (they did not seem overly busy), she seemed annoyed and overall the final job just looks sloppy. There even a fuzzy baked into my gel nail that will be there until I take the gel off. She was going so fast that a lot of my skin had gel on it, and she was filing my skin with a nail file to remove the paint. She also did not paint close enough to my cuticles and there are bubbles and unevenness. Honestly quite unhappy with my experience today.

Mallory Malone I love this nail place- it’s the best in the Seattle area. My nails always look perfect and they last for three weeks!

Amy Heinemann My Nail Bar is my go-to for their friendly service and quality. My shellac manicures always last 2-3 weeks and no matter which employee does my nails, they are always well-done. Highly recommend!

Katherine Laitsch Ive been here multiple times, and the last time I went about a month ago to get my nails done for my Bachelorette. Not only did it feel extremely rushed but I left the salon with gel polish all over my fingers, gluing my skin to my nail. There were also bumps and ridges instead of smooth polish. There is nothing worse than paying $75 for nails and going home to fix and file them yourself. Also, instead of doing any real cuticle work, they used the drill to drill away my cuticles. Not only was this method ineffective and led to so many hangnails in the following days, but it actually hurt too. There were a few times that Ive been and my nails have turned out OK, but the inconsistency just isnt worth the price :( This time here will be my last.

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.

Huh I saw someone say they began charging $55 for a full set, that was what they charged me for a FILL! Extremely pricey, wanted to charge me an extra $15 just to add chrome powder and another $15 for French tips. I understand that it should cost extra, but THAT much? They did not clean my cuticles properly which I was pretty upset about. These photos are 3 days post fill, my nails do not grow fast and you can already see gaps.

Famous We5 Amazing nail salon! Ive been going to Sunny Island Nails for months now, and every experience has been exceptional. The moment you walk in, youre greeted with a warm smile and a relaxing atmosphere. The nail technicians are true artists - their attention to detail and creativity are unmatched. My nail artist, Na, always listens to my ideas and brings them to life with precision and care. The salon is always clean and sanitized, and they use high-quality products. Ive never been disappointed with any of my services, from manicures to pedicures and gel extensions. The prices are reasonable, and the service is top-notch.

Anna Grace Crow They always do a great job but the prices make no sense. I got a full set acrylic there for $70 a month ago and when I went back to get a fill it cost $65. Never in my life have I paid more than $45 for a fill. Literally makes 0 sense!

Sara Jane Sunny Island Nails does such QUALITY consistent work. Drive all the way from Shoreline to U-district every 3 weeks and it’s so worth it. Never had a bad experience here. They will take care of 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!

Briseida Torres I’ve been a loyal customer here for almost a year, and my manicures were always great at first. However, as the business grew, it seems like they began focusing more on new clients and stopped providing the same level of care to those who’ve been supporting them for a while. This past week, I got a free manicure, and while it looked fine on the first day, it started to chip soon after. I reached out to the salon, and the response I got instructed me to come in the next day at 6 pm. However, when I arrived, the owner acted as if there was no prior communication and made it seem like fixing my chipped nail was an inconvenience. I’m very disappointed and will no longer be supporting this business.

KG The Now Stores is an amazing nail salon! The manicurist Monica is my favorite. She is professional, efficient and talented. The owner Kelly is professional, sweet and super accommodating, the shop is very clean and welcoming! I’ve been coming here for 2 years and always receive compliments on my nails. This is my go-to salon for manicures.

Nicholette Daniel I’ve thought long and hard about leaving a review, but I’m doing it with the hope that it helps others. I’ve been going to this nail salon for over a year and have noticed that they are getting increasingly rough and careless with my nails. The sanitary conditions seem less than ideal. Last weekend, I had to go to urgent care because I had such a nasty infection around my thumbnail. My thumb doubled in size and felt like it was on fire. This photo and review is a week after my urgent care visit and antibiotics (and having to have it lanced… OUCH!!). It has been extraordinarily painful. They have lots of great colors and my manicures definitely last for several weeks, but at this point it’s really not worth it. Aside from the infection, all of my cuticles are pretty ragged. I’m very disappointed. Definitely recommend going somewhere else.

Sneha Janardhanan Have been going here frequently for the past year. They do a great job and focus on perfection. Highly recommend this place especially if you want nails that can hold up for more than a month (~$70 nails).

jennifer nelson The gel manicures I get always last a long time with no chipping. I need to get them redone only because they regrow. This place is great and the technicians are very nice.

X X I never realized how bad this place was - until I went somewhere else. I get dip nails. Whenever I go in they treat me like a burden, like they don’t actually want to do my nails. The last time I got my nails done they were so thick they didn’t look professionally done. They’re very unsterile and never offer to change my extensions during visits - sometimes the extensions were applied really bad. They don’t ask me what shape I want - or always tend towards almond shape for me (even though I prefer stiletto). Last time I went in – I made an appointment - I showed up right on time for my appointment. They made me wait over an hour after I got there to sit me down in a chair. I was so offended I left – I went to a different nail place that did my nails incredibly. I’ll never go back - I had been going there for years.

Kulsum Begum I had a terrible experience at this salon. I went for hand and leg waxing, and the whole process was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. They asked me to remove my clothes for the waxing but didn’t provide any towel or wrap to cover myself, which made me feel exposed and uneasy. To make matters worse, the bed I had to lie on was filthy – they didn’t even bother covering it with a disposable sheet or clean it before I used it. On top of that, one of the staff members made a very offensive and racist remark about my hair growth, comparing me to her brother-in-law, who is also Indian. She mentioned that he had thick hair, implying that all Indians do, which was not only inaccurate but highly inappropriate. I would never recommend this salon to anyone. Hygiene and respect for clients should always be a priority, and this place clearly lacks both.

Alicia Morales The ladies were nice enough. But I told them I was allergic to gel nail polish & I needed dip which is what I had on my nails when I came in. Then when they started to paint my nails I saw that it was gel. I told her I cannot have gel. She said they added powder so the gel was okay. Here I am the next day with swollen red itchy fingers. They also cut my finger while doing my nails so I have a large gash in my pinky finger.

Sarah Tornai I kind of want to leave one 2 star review and one 5 start review. My eyebrows came out amazing but my nail experience was a bit odd. I felt profiled. I was asked to pay for my nails in the middle of them doing them. As in the lady grabbed my bag and said “you pay now” I don’t have foot fungus or asked for anything crazy I got clear on my fingers and one simple color on toes. I had already paid for eyebrows. It’s like having a waiter come up to you in the middle of a bite and asking for your card Before you finish eating except in this case, the lady literally made sure to grab my bag herself. I would go here again because it’s just in the neighborhood but dang….do better.

lanika exkano Very disappointed in the way that we were handled my daughter was told she was “too dark” for a certain color that she wanted, which was only a nude color so then we went with French tip instead, and it wasn’t clean. I’ve been coming here for years, so I was just really disappointed to see how the prices have increased and the service has went down. This was $90 total and the flower looked more like a snowflake. Not what we asked for….

Teagan George Dip nails started chipping after a week. Did not hold up after very basic normal wear and tear.

Phoenix Finally a place that knows how to do holographic/chrome nails! My nails look amazing. The women who work here are nice. I called ahead and got a same day appointment. No frills or decorations or anything but clean. Taking one star bc $100 for acrylic fill (not a new set) gel mani and gel pedi at a place that looks like this seemed a bit high.

Eddy Girmay Overall, it was a good experience. Very attentive, no wait if you make an appointment. But the only thing that didn’t sit well with me is that, on call they told me refill was $45 and with my chrome … it would be $50. But after my nails were done, they said $60. It’s annoying. Make sure you confirm the price before they start doing your nails.

Rachel Acosta I had a manicure there today. Mai did a fantastic job. I am looking forward to going back again soon.

Kamila Fontanilla Been going to them for 2+ years. Quality work and most of the nail techs pay very close attention to detail. Sometimes they take longer than necessary. I get dip manicures every time and always expect to be there about 2hrs give or take.

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!!

Katie Buehler Min and the rest of her staff are AMAZING which is completely an understatement for the beautiful work and effort they put in for all their customers! I’ve been a customer long term and they always remember what I say the previous visits! Doesn’t matter if it’s been a while or just 3 weeks prior. My pedicure always lasts longer than a month at most when it comes to the color! I did a gel manicure today and decided to venture out to get powder done! I love how it turned out! They even stayed 30 minutes past closing to accommodate me! I feel so appreciative and lucky to have such an outrageously kind and hard working, phenomenal nail salon to go to! They truly care and listen to what you need despite of changing your mind mid way! Go see them! They are all so GREAT! Thank you, Min and to the rest of your team!

Seage H Moss Nice place but got a mani pedi there with my partner yesterday. Both my mani and pedi are lumpy, and chipping off by this morning.

Ro3 Really peaceful atmosphere. Comfy massage chairs. The lady did a very good job. Very detail oriented and polite. The prices are affordable and there is plenty of parking (free or cheap) around the corner. *Pictures on google maps are old, they remodeled and the place is very big now and comfortable now*

Brooke Agather Wonderful service, I had two broken toe nails and Mai went above and beyond to repair them and then provide a pedicure as if they never broke. Love that they can do gel, dip, normal powder and lots of color selection.

CL The owner was super nice, but I felt like he was so focused on chatting with me rather than my pedicure. I mentioned I didn’t want my nails too short, since it’s summer time and I like my nails slightly longer. But he cut it to my skin. He then filed it some more, not sure what theres left to file because at this point he was filing my skin. The shape was uneven and the polish job was horrible. The pricing was great which is why we chose this place in a pinch. But you get what you paid for I guess.

Kara Alden Cute Nails is the best nail salon I have been to in Seattle. Ive been going for about 2 years, and I always leave happy with my new nails! The couple who own this salon are very friendly, they provide great service, and I always enjoy the time I spend here. I have never once had a manicure that I didnt love, and I can trust them to give me good suggestions on colors + shapes that work for me. Whether you want something simple and casual or you want special occasion nails, this is the place to go!

Felecia M This is my go-to nail spot. The owners are friendly and I enjoy our conversations each time I visit. Their attention to detail for manicures and pedicures is refreshing. And I also love that they manage appointment times well so customers arent waiting. I would suggest calling to schedule an appt instead of doing a walk-in.

Hanna Wyland Such a sweet salon! I really enjoyed the service I got (gel manicure) by Lany (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) She was personable and easy going. I felt the quality of the service and price were really great. I also really liked the attention to detail in cleaning up my cuticles & shaping my nails. Service was not rushed but not too slow. I definitely recommend!

Victoria Ang Thank you for the beautiful dip powder mani. It was my 2nd time trying cute nails out and now I am a regular. The coupled staff are the sweetest and most genuine. They carry on, initiate conversations and give you their full service and undivided attention. Thank you! $45 well spent! Street parking and lot are available.

Nicole Buckley UPDATED REVIEW: Noting that the owner responds to negative reviews unprofessionally—there’s proof of that below and on numerous other negative reviews from this month/year. In direct response to the comment left on mine: the issues were (1) causing me physical pain, (2) ruining the shape of my nails, and (3) rudeness—which continues in the owner’s response. I said I didn’t mind that there wasn’t time for a design. **ALSO: this shop appears to audio/video record its patrons to respond to negative reviews. Prior responses reference specific conversations and “seeing the camera”. Yikes.** I won’t ever be going back to Vybrant after my most recent experience—and this is coming from a loyal customer. I booked an appointment for 3:45 on 12/3, and from the moment I walked in, the tech was extremely rude. I asked if I could do a simple design, and she said no; she didn’t have the time. That’s fair, honestly, especially during the holidays. But things went downhill quickly. For example: my hands and nails were in pure acetone for 20 minutes. That’s not normal, and it’s super painful. I had to ask to remove them after it got too bad to continue. Then, I only got two coats of dip. I’ve had dip manicures for four years every four weeks—and I have always have three coats minimum, regardless of the tech. This tech refused to do a third, then argued with me about my preferences. She even told me that I need to “special request” a third coat *before* my appointment going forward. Seriously? As a result of too little dip, my nails are flimsy and have virtually no color (you can even see the tips of my nails as if this were a French manicure). The tech later added an extra top coat to “fix” the fact that she didn’t use enough dip—but that just made my nails lumpy and uneven. In addition to all that, my nails aren’t even all cut to the same length. I’ve attached photos, and you can see that they’re altogether uneven, have no discernible color (was supposed to be a light pink), and are pocked with lumps/divots. Over the course of the service, the tech also nicked my cuticles and the pads of my fingers (?!) with her drill bit. Given how rude she was and how awful my nails look, I’m upset I had to pay the added 20% gratuity (though honestly this wasn’t worth the base $65 in the first place). I won’t be coming back, and I will be telling my friends—who I recommended try Vybrant in the first place—not to return. So disappointing.

Chelsea Osborn I have been coming here for years and theres a reason I always come back! The quality and staff of Vybrant are truly unmatched. My nails always look so so good, and last a long time (I am a bartender and put my nails through a lot). I honestly cant get my nails done anywhere else because its just not the same. Shoutout to Jade, Timmy, Jolie for their artistry on numerous special occasions in my life! I cant tell you how much I appreciate everyone at Vybrant for always taking great care of me, never rushing and going above and beyond to make my vision (and crazy designs) come to life! ❤️

Helen Park Great customer service! First time getting my nails done, came in as a spontaneous walk-in and I love the way my nails turned out. Very professional. Affordable. Time efficient. Definitely would come again!

Melissa Chen Kim is so talented and was very accommodating to my specific requests. She’s really good at following the inspiration while also adding her own creativity. Would highly recommend!

Miriam Mathan Update from 11/6: I had originally rated this place 5 stars but I had my nails done today at it was pretty okay: Happy with everything except this design… I had asked for checkerboard and I’m not too impressed with this. Still had to pay full price but it is what it is! Was happier with my previous visit My first time there: I love this place! I had never gotten a manicure before and wanted to treat myself; I did a lot of research and thought I’d give Vybrant a try (SO glad I did!). The place was clean and calming and all the staff were so kind. The technician who did my nails was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness and really helped me to find a design and color I love. Pricing was very very reasonable and definitely worth it for such a great experience. I will definitely be 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.

Nicole McCormick Best cat eye nails in Seattle! They came out so lustrous with great depth. Nice clean salon with friendly technicians.

francesca got a manicure here and accidentally chipped one of the nails within a week. they were SUPER accommodating and fixed it. also they did my nails beautifully :)

Victoria Carolina Edit- I’ve been getting my nails done with Jacey for a long while now and I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful nail tech! Beautiful nails every time, and now they offer cat eye and jelly nails too. So pretty! I’ve been getting dip nails from Jacey for the past couple months and have been really happy with the results. I go every 3 weeks and nothing has lifted or broken in between. She frequently double checks that the shape and length is good. They don’t do 3D designs, chrome is extra. I usually call the morning of and see if there is an appointment available, but it seems like they have been quite busy so might be best to schedule an appointment in advance! In my experience I have not had to wait long at all to get seated when calling in advance. I’ll be coming back here for sure!

Victoria H Elegant nails is truly a West Seattle treasure! I am a regular client here, and I enjoy their services and going here for my manicures and pedicures. Lin and Cherry and all the staff always do a fantastic job with my manis and pedis. They take appointments and they are TIMELY with their appointments. I have never had to wait when I arrived for my appointments. They always provide great service. The salon is very clean. It is small and quaint. I like the small and intimate environment where I can get to know the employees. They have a GREAT color selection and they do acrylics, gel, dip powder manicures, regular polish, and they have waxing services. I highly recommend Elegant Nails. They have great pricing, great service, and all of the staff do a really great job on your nails!

Artemis Faeiryne The staff here are so friendly and kind, I got a great manicure too! Tina is very easy to talk to and the atmosphere of this salon is comfortably laid back and feels like a second home of sorts, which Im a huge fan of. I also like how the acrylic that is used doesnt smell very strong or unpleasant like some other local salons. Ill definitely be back!

CiCi I had a bad acrylic job done the day before at another nail salon. I hated the color and the acrylic was too thick. I went to Elegant Nails to see if they could fix it and Mina did such a wonderful job!!! I felt so happy and pleased with her work. I will definitely be going back!

Ashley Lockhart Great place, nice people. Lin did my eyebrows and my pedicure, both are perfect. I was nervous for the brow wax but they look exactly as I wanted! Prices are really reasonable, place was clean, lots of colors to choose from for my pedi. I’ll be back in the future.

Ritvin It was all right. First time getting acrylic nails done and each nail is a slightly different size/shape :( it wasnt very close to my cuticles and so they look like theyre growing out really fast. I really like the color. The technician was pretty distracted while doing them and some of them look crooked. I just wish it was more consistent.

Julie Slawson Update: I moved from Seattle to a new city and I cannot find anyone that is as amazing as Ann and #1 Pro Nails. They are kind, location is gorgeous and clean, and the work is always perfect. I miss this salon and all the staff and the owner Ann. Previous: Lovely salon! Ann, the owner, is so incredibly sweet and does an amazing job on my nails. The staff are also great! Each one of them is very kind and does a great job. When I go there I feel like Im part of the family. It is definitely busy so make an appointment - walk-ins are welcome but it is hard to get in without an appointment. Try it out! You will not be disappointed. :)

Jenna Horrall This is my go-to nail salon! I’ve been going for the past year or so and I love it. Everyone is so friendly, they are super detailed and you can tell they all really care about what they do. Highly recommend!

Monique Lapointe After months of trail & error with finding a nail salon in Seattle, a friend recommend this spot & I have nothing but good things to say about it!!! I was able to make my appt. directly on Instagram dm’s and sent them an inspo photo beforehand too. I have never done designs on my nails so I was a bit nervous, but they really took their time & they turned out perfect!! They feel like better quality too than how they normally feel when I get fake dip gel nails. The staff is also so friendly & I just felt very welcomed in here!! Clean salon & worth the price! I will for sure be coming back.

Kristen Green The ladies here are super nice! And did a fantastic job on my nails. Nothing fancy, but got the job done and my gel lasted 3 weeks before it started to chip!

Brianna Millward Beautiful cat eye nails! It was easy to walk in on a sunday and easy to find parking nearby.

Kara Griffith Just got my third cat eye manicure done today! I love it soo much. Tran did a wonderful job. Very friendly and easy to relax with her making sure your nails look fabulous. Definitely will be back for some awesome holiday inspired nails! Update to add that I got a new set of the gel nails done by Van at Star Nails and they are so awesome! I really love this style and I wish I could leave a separate review for each lady! Tran and Van both do wonderful work!

Natalya Fearnley Lovely atmosphere and kind staff! Ask for Annie. She was very gentle and took her time to give me an absolutely gorgeous and delicate dip manicure. Reasonable pricing, comparable to other salons, but definitely better service and a high-end feel.

Jme Bramy Annie is the best! I like my nails to be short short. Usually nail techs leave them longer than I like which is just a disappointment I’ve come to except. Not my gal, Annie! She shaped my nails exactly how I like them, and my shellac manicure didn’t chip or peel the whole 3 weeks I had it. I’ll go to her every time. Thank you, Annie!

brianna pianh Joy and her sister do an amazing job! Joy always does exactly what I want and the way she shapes is nothing less than to perfection (in my opinion). I always get a gel manicure and pedi.. Joy is so good that I will sit a whole hour and wait for her if I have to lol. I have never left disappointed!

Hanna Lawrence I moved to Seattle a few months ago and after being very disappointed trying a new spot, I found Luxury Nails. I’m very particular about my nails and I’ve been so pleased every time! They’re very sweet, well organized and do a great job. I appreciate the communication if a certain design will cost more or what since some places don’t until you’re about to pay! This place is a hidden gem and I’m very happy to have found it!

Rashanda Coleman Buckle up. I just left this salon before my service was finished because I was lied to and I was kept waiting for an hour after my appointment time. I went here after my sister recommended it. Shed gotten a few beautiful designs. All Ive gotten is an approximation of a compromise on the design ideas I brought to them. Its worked out 2 times before. This third time was a disaster and the last straw. I didnt love my last set so I waited until I needed a fill and asked to just get a black version of my sisters last set. It was ombre glitter similar to the picture below. The older woman doing my nails promised she had the materials to pull off my request. It wasnt until my previous nail art was filed off, that she told me they didnt have the black glitter I wanted. She talked me into using a finer glitter polish and the end result looked like bad Rocky Horror cosplay (see below.) They could tell I hated it, but I didnt want to keep negotiating and be stuck there longer so I declined having it fixed immediately. They even offered to fix it FOR FREE if I came back the next day. I could also tell the other employees were discussing because several of them walked up to me to offer to fix my nails and they kept saying, "ombre," to each other. It got overwhelming so I went to sit in the car and waited for my sister to finish and pay. I didnt want to go back, but my sister convinced me to give it another try so I made an appointment today and chose a simpler design. I purposely requested the artist that had the skills to do it. When I arrived, he was still working on someone else so I waited. After an hour, I was going to leave when he said he could see me. I showed him and he nodded and began filing. He was half way done with one hand when a different woman turned around and spoke to him. Then he turned to tell me that I was going to be charged $50 for just the new design. I was shocked because I was assured the day before that I could get the service for free so I backed away from the table. Next thing I know there are 2 women flanking my seated artist who start rapidly talking at me trying to justifying the exorbitant charge. The woman who, originally, told me to come back the next day was sitting a few chairs down and said nothing while this was going on. It was clear they werent going to listen to me and I felt overwhelmed by how quickly they got so aggressive so I just left. I knew I shouldnt have gone back there. My sister and I wont be making that mistake again. Update: The manager thought it was appropriate to text me trying to discredit my review at 9:45pm. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to come back to a salon when a design didn’t turn out the way I asked. The artist and I usually find a design they can easily do and they change it for free + tip. The artists and management are money-hungry. They should’ve just admitted they couldn’t do the nail art I wanted.

Alex V A friend who lives nearby recommended this salon. I called them on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to fit me in for a gel nail appointment with only 20 mins notice. It appeared they had a lot of regular customers which is great to see. They offer one complimentary drink (alcoholic and non alcoholic) during the time of service. The staff were friendly and the salon was clean. The staff checked in a few times to ensure I was happy with my nails and service. Selfishly, I wish this place was located in north Seattle but I’m tempted to make the trip down to get my nails done again in a few weeks.
