Top Best 7 Nail Salons in Spokane, Spokane (part 3)

Michelle Retherford I walked in to get my gel/acrylics off my nails. I asked for a a manicure because I knew my nails would need it. It took over an hour to remove the fillers. She was very rough with my hands and ground my cuticles pretty bad. She kept saying relax and got rougher and more annoyed at me. She got up after they were done and the other lady said she wants a manicure. I ended up leaving without my manicure. The positive thing is, it only cost $20 to get the gel/acrylics off. Unfortunately I would not recommend them. ☹️

Kathleen Caler 1st time in. I had a appointment for dip nails and a pedicure.. I was 10 minutes early seated on time she placed nail remover on nails when a walk in came into the salon. She sat her and did not get back to me for 35 minutes. Finally she started my nails, they are very uncomfortable and uneven the dip is on the sides of my fingers when I asked for her to remove the overhang of products he seem aggregated that I asked. The top get is clumpy and also uneven. I did not stay for the pedicure. Dont recommend $50.00 lost

Terry Zakar I got my first manicure since COVID. I mistook this salon for another one located across the street. They wanted CASH up front and the lady who did my nails was not good! As I looked around I saw dirty nail bits, my hands were soaked in a wooden bowl and I had no idea what was touching my skin. My 11 year old granddaughter did my nails a few weeks ago and she did a better job and was faster! I do not recommend this shop. I went across the street to see if my old place was still there and to my surprise they were! I got the name mixed up. I will be going to them from now on!!

Wendy P Amazing nails always takes such good care of me. I bring a book and enjoy as they complete my pedicure. Today, I got the sea salt and cooling gel treatment. My legs and feet feel like $1,000,000. Love this group of people here!

Jen Gordon Brought my daughter in for her first salon mani pedi and they were wonderful with her. Super gentle and explained to her what they were doing. Really made her feel special, she cant wait to go back. The women that did my nails did a wonderful job, theyre so smooth.

Savanah Thompson I visited this place while in Spokane for my bfs job. I first Called and requested Gel x and was told they could complete this service when in fact they could not. When I opened the door of the salon I was hit in the face with the smell of acrylic and acetone as theres not enough ventilation in the small area. I received tips with SEVERAL layers of gel builder on top. The process of getting my nails prepped for the gel polish was very painful as the lady was pressing very hard on the sides of my fingers. To top it off my nails are uneven, not the same length on each hand and on some have streaks that you can see through the polish and didnt even apply cuticle oil after slaughtering them. Im VERY disappointed in my experience here and would not recommend anyone to go here. *** UPDATE*** I had these done LESS than a WEEK ago and have already lost one. Just pathetic.

JM OConnor Absolutely Love this Nail Salon! I am new to Spokane( just moved in December 2024) and had learned of a nail salon just south of me(another one that was not Mai Nails) and had gone to them twice prior, but my last visit with the other nail salon was less than stellar( I dont like to be chastised for being early for my appt. so I decided to take my business elsewhere). I called Mai Nails on the off chance that they could take me as a last minute appt. and I believe it was Mai I spoke with and she asked how soon I could be there and I advised less than 5 minutes( I am literally a hop, skip and jump away from the location), I got to Mai Nails and I love how cozy the shop is when I walked in and how wonderfully friendly everyone was when they greeted me :) . I got my nails done by Mai herself and she is an ABSOLUTE JOY! I love her and her bubbly personality and how funny she is! I love also the fact that I got a neck and shoulder massage( which I didnt know I needed until it started), I then told Mai I am going to move in and never leave since this is my new favorite place to be! My nails look phenomenal( I came in for a fill) and I will be there again this weekend for another fill and it is also my birthday this week, so my nails have look their best! :D Thank you Mai!

Kalie Slater I go here at least once a month, they do excellent work and truly value your business. They remember me when I walk in and they always go above and beyond.

Angela A I got a pedi done was charged 55 dollars and it looked like i did it myself. I did enjoy the foot rub and the water soak. The Lady Kim was very nice and sweet I did tip her 10. I’d say to treat yourself if you can afford it, but I wish the prices were more flexible.

Echo Butterfield I have been going to this nail salon off and on for years. However, whenever I come back I am welcomed with excitement and happiness. Mai is such a sweet woman and she takes great pride in offering a clean and welcoming environment. Even though she is not my regular nail tech she greets me with an abundance of joy. I always call and schedule appointments (acrylic, toes, and waxing) and she always does her best to satisfy me! She sparks conversations with me, mixes colors for me, offers me tips for my sensitive skin, and tackles ANY design that I show her. For example, she recently did halloween nails for me and EXCEEDED my expectations!

Stephanie Gottlob Next month will be 12 months of coming exclusively to VIP ! I just love all the ladies here! They are all sweet and super friendly! Plus my nails alway look amazing when i leave. I get so many compliments when I’m im shopping or traveling! I don’t just get my hands done i have gotten my full face waxed and it was amazing. I also get pedicures and the hot stone message and paraffin wax… the best thing ever - i highly recommend!

Amy Elizabeth Great pedicures! Several options to choose from. Spa like experience. The shop is very clean & they clean throughly between guests. All nail techs have Covid-19 health & cleaning training. They even have a punch card, 10 punches equals $20 off!

Bree White Never again. Took my daughter to get a pedicure and was treated rudely. When my daughter told the lady that the reason she wasnt putting both feet in the water was because the water was too hot and she had a scrape on her foot that was stinging with whatever was in the water, the lady got mad at her. My daughter picked out a color (a pale shimmery white) and even showed the lady the color and number. When the lady went to paint her nails, the color was a bubble gum pink. When my daughter pointed it out and said she didnt pick out that color and didnt want that particular color, the nail lady tried to tell her that not only did she pick out the color but it was the same color. The nail lady then became very rough with my daughters feet and when my daughter asked her to be more gentle, the lady rolled her eyes and started mumbling under her breath. Her toe nails were cut uneven and the paint job was super messy. For the price they charged I will go somewhere else where they appreciate their customers.

Amy Jackson Super over priced. We paid 200 dollars for my sister in law to just get a basic mani pedi and I got a basic set and the basic pedi with painted white tip. Lady rubbed my toe raw and when I pointed out a issue with how my big toe was painted she shrugged it off like it was nothing. They also missed half of one of my sister in laws fingers. We were there for over 3 hours and watched people come in after us get rushed threw before they did a quick paint on SIL nails. We came here because they had so many good reviews. So hopefully this will save someone a trip of disappointment.

Payton Oneill I went in and the two ladies messed my sisters nails up so bad she was crying in the store and had to have someone fix them the acrylic was so thick and the French tip was so sloppy the design alone was so messed up another lady had to redo it all I’ll never go back there and the lady who messed up was hovering over the lady the whole time while she was fixing it

Maria Wagner T does my nails all the time when I’m there she is the only one I will see. Her nails are great quality and I’m always satisfied with them as well. She k owes what I want and she always patient with me she had done my toes as well and my husbands loves them. Her nails don’t lift and they last a lot longer.

Big MomMe The lady was very genuine and made me feel welcome. We came in late Nov 5th and they managed to squeeze us both in but she mentioned she wasnt very good at it... I am convinced now she was serious. After telling her I didnt like the pink gel her attitude changed n her nail art wasnt the butterfly I requested n clearly her first time cuz she offered 2 free designs to attempt to do better which were not made with love. Problem is I mentioned the only time I got my nails done not with tips they broke n I wasnt happy and 6 days later I managed to break my middle finger in half!!! After 8 popped off Im done wanting to pay for them. Idk y they dont have a book to showcase their work!!!

Luv Barrett They were able to accommodate me as a walk in, but what I asked for and what I ended up with are 2 different things. They didnt have many of the colors offered on their swatches and when the tech was about to put the clear gel on I was confused as I specifically asked if they could paint zebra stripes on the tips and was told yes and when I reiterated that I was hoping for zebra stripes I was told they couldnt do it. The quality is pretty meh as it looks like I have 2 week grow out and its been 4 days. Maybe Im too picky since I used to be a cosmetology instructor, but 65.00 should have paid for a much better job. The final issue was I was asked to go to the ATM in the mall and pay with cash which caused me to incur a 5.00 fee from the ATM machine and a 3.00 fee from my bank. If I had known they were cash only I would have brought cash. As the ATM only gives out 20s I had to tip 15.00 as the lady followed me to the ATM and took payment then and there. I was also talked into a pedicure which was the least enjoyable that Ive ever had as they were too busy watching the TV and rushing to get it done before they closed. My toes do look nice, but the overall experience was very lackluster. Thats what I get for being spontaneous and not setting up an appointment ahead of time or ensuring that they had the colors I wanted in stock.

Anjelica Birrueta Worst place I’ve ever gone too. Went out of town to enjoy the day with my daughter and get our nails done. Ugly, not clean and unprofessional!! I picked a color and the tech refused to do it because she said it doesn’t look good on me. My nails looks like they had been on for a week when I left. Waste of money DO NOT EVER GO HERE

Brianna Mittelstadt I was recommended to go here and ask for Anna or Amy because they do a fabulous job. When I went in Amy was working so I walked around the mall for a few while she was finishing up with her current client. She was super friendly and attentive, my only complaint is that she seemed a little rushed and didnt shape my nails to all be even. But to be fair I came in right before closing time so next time Ill make an appointment and give this place another shot! Overall I am happy with the experience and my nails look fabulous!

Holly Chilinski So they lady cut my toe, grumbled at me that it was my fault because of how I cut my toe nails, had to be told to stop hurting my other foot. I am still dealing with the infection days later. I really needed to treat myself to something nice, I got the opposite.

BPresentBGood BSuccessful! I went today and liked this place until my polish got all bubbly. Lady said I turned on the fan too soon. I said I didn’t turn on the fan the lady who did my nails did. They didn’t offer re-paint. When I got home I noticed more have bubbled so I called. They said I have to go back today or they will not re-do. I said I just got home, way up on South Hill and that they should have re-done when I was there. They said too bad. I said I’ll give you the review you deserve then. I guess they don’t gaf if customers are happy. Booo! Don’t waste money here!

Queen Perez I freaking love this place go during the week because the weekends are super crowded and super busy but go during the weekday and it should be okay. Prices are reasonable. Ladies are nice! I cant say enough amazing things about this nail salon its the only one I go to thay know me by name LOVE THEM!!

Felicia Diamond The service for the price is great. A nice, pleasant pedi. They have a ton of colors to choose from, both on trend and more subdued. Walk ins welcome, which is really convenient.

Andrea West Coast I was a walk in with no wait time. They give great massages when getting a pedi and they have great massage chairs. BEN did a great job on my nails and took his time stayed late to do a great job and gave me money back when I didnt have him put extra lines in!

Megan Hawley This might be the worst application of acrylic nails I’ve ever seen. The acrylic is thick and uneven, globs of acrylic n the sides of my fingers, the paint was uneven and partially separated/came off, there are hairs in the paint. All that AND the shape want finished off so they are sharp. I’ll be spending the evening soaking my hands trying to get this off. Absolutely not worth the $120 for this and a basic pedicure!!!

artemio valdez Wife had a great experience and will come back! this place had New management and it really shows! Very clean and newly remodeled I recommend everyone to check this place out!

Debbie Finney I’ve been coming here for ten years. The service and quality is consistently excellent. Tina and Mai have been here the entire time. I highly recommend Famous Nails in the Lincoln Plaza

Tammara Aiello I got a pedicure and acrylic nails done, they did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them!

Sara Araica If I could give 0 stars I would. Do not waste your time coming to this place. Customer service is horrible. They give you attitude from the moment you walk in, until you leave. I came to get a pedicure and the guy proceeded to put my sandals on without the polish being dry fully. I told him I didn’t mind sitting to wait for the nail polish to dry, and he proceeded to ignore me, or give me the paper sandals that all nail salons give out in the mean time your polish dry. I still paid and TIP THEM BOTH individually. As soon as I got to my car, I took the sandals off and they were all smoosh into it and turned around to see if they could fix it and they had already left. Obviously they were in a rush because they wanted to leave. I came two days later to ask them if they can fix it or give me a refund. To what they automatically said “we don’t do refunds” and then she gave me attitude the whole way as she kept explaining me “how regular polish work”, until I had enough and I told her, I’m 27 years old, I know how nail polish work, you guys put my sandals not me. I’m being polite no need to keep giving me attitude or keep rolling your eyes at me…. Long story short, if you don’t like getting attitude while you are paying so much money for a service that they specify for, don’t come here.

Hillary Hanich I went to Nail Paradise today and left absolutely loving my new look, the gals were super fast and efficient, I got a full set done, no pain, no games! The atmosphere was nice, and everybody had a friendly, calm demeanor. Other gals were in there, getting manicures and pedicures as well. I will be going again without a doubt, impressive nail shop.

Emily Fulton I love this place! Relaxing atmosphere, very sweet professionals who are fast and do quality work. Other places are slower and use too much acrylic, resulting in premature breakage and separation. My nails always last two weeks before I need a fill when I have them done here.

Char The first time I came in my nails were fantastic and they lasted 2 and a 1/2 weeks it was a gel manicure. The second time I came in 4 days ago I got the same thing and my nail polish is already wearing off at the tips and you can see through to my nail on some of the paint. Yes its very glossy so from a distance it looks nice but to have it wear out after 3 days is ridiculous and not worth the price. I will not be coming back

Madison Bisset I came in on Monday 7/1 to get a manicure and pedicure. I got a gel pedicure (it’s great the man who did mine was fantastic!) I then got moved to do a dip manicure and it seemed to go well I was happy when I left. By Wednesday my dip started to come off my hands like literally popping off. I went in on Saturday since I was gone for the 4th of July holiday and asked to have them fixed. They said they could fix them and would do the 7 fingers that was missing dip for free.. great! I then asked the lady to fix my next finger (because it was also about to pop off) and she accused me of picking my nails and ripping them off… she then gave poor customer service and attitude asking “well what do you want” and I just said please fix the poor job that was done on Monday so I can get what I paid for. She was rude when doing the rest of my nails and left them sloppily done. I knew on Monday not to come here due to friends and family having a bad experience here ( to include getting an infection on their toe after having a pedicure done with unsanitary tools..) but it was my last resort to get my nails done before the holiday! Will not ever be coming back!!
