Secret Garden Nails & Beautique — Local services in Bothell

Where do I even begin? From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with the scent of Lemongrass and Eucalyptus.

My friend and I opted for the Versailles spa pedicure and it did not disappoint. The Versailles is focused around Rose, but included many other natural ingredients.

After you pick out your nail color, of which there are vegan and organic options, (added cost) you are brought over to one of the zero gravity chairs (incredibly comfortable, but not zero gravity at this point in the service.) You are then draped in a warm blanket, and offered a choice of beverages. We went for Green Tea.

Then they bring over the stunning basins in which they dip your feet. These looked like a fine china display. They are also incredibly hygienic as they have the removable guards to change in between clients.

The attention to detail here is absolutely immaculate. They came out with beautiful trays full of fresh ingredients and told us what each one was and how it would help with our body. We received a personalized exfoliating scrub, a leg mask, plenty of warm towels and blankets, lotion massage, hot stone massage, regular massage and an essential oil treatment. ( I believe there was the paraffin wax treatment as well.)

After the initial nail cutting in cuticle trimming, they focus on the exfoliating scrub and mask treatment. After the mask treatment is when zero gravity comes in. They lay a mask over your eyes and off you drift into one of the most luxurious treatments of your life.

The only thing that upset me about this visit was the fact that it came to an end.

The Versailles is $70, and worth every penny. They do have more affordable and standard options that I'm sure are just as luxurious. However if you are looking to treat yourself definitely go with the Versailles.

If you are looking for a spa experience this is where you want to go. If you are just looking for a quick nail touch up you probably want to go somewhere different. They truly take their time here which is something that can be appreciated. Because of that they are appointment only so make sure that you call ahead to book.

They have four zero gravity chairs and there are two nail stations towards the front. It is a very quiet and soothing atmosphere. They play lovely, gentle music and dim the lights in the pedicure space so you can fully enjoy the experience.

There is not a single other place I would go to have this experience. The people that work here are so pleasant and truly make you feel like royalty. They even used some reflexology techniques during the leg and foot massage.

I almost didn't want to write this glowing review, because appointments will be harder to book when everyone finds out how magical this place for truly is.

Do yourself a favor and go here. It is an experience that you will never forget in the...

Where do I start- I have been so almost every nail salon in Bothell, Kirkland, woodinville and the surrounding areas. With that being said, I’ve been tossed around, shoved aside, rushed through when busy, my appointment times not being honored. Not at this place. From the moment I walked in for my first appointment I felt welcomed. The salon smelt good of different oils and lotions, NOT harsh acrylic chemicals. The salon is decorated beautifully with a section for manicures and pedicures. There is a quiet no talking policy which I enjoy, I go there to close my eyes and relax. There is soft music playing and ocean documentaries playing on the TVs which adds to the relaxing atmosphere. My nail techs name is Julie and she was beyond polite and professional. She’s been in the industry for 8 years and takes great care and pride into her work. I highly recommend going for the full packages. Versailles with the acupressure add on. It’s a bit pricey but it’s a small price to pay for the treatment you receive. They custom blend the masks for your hands and feet- and Julie was able to tell me things about my body based off of the acupressure service- dehydration, right shoulder tension and thyroid irregularities, which are all true for me. She is no way able to fully diagnose of course but I found that to be helpful to bring it to my attention Incase I need to schedule a further appointment with my general practitioner. In any case, your money will be well spent here. I cannot recommend this place enough to people that are tired of being tossed around at traditional nail salons. They have earned a customer for life and I look forward to my appointments with...

Frustrated by my experience here; uncomfortable experience and rude customer service

They weren’t the most welcoming on the phone when I scheduled the appointment because there was a glitch with their site.

When I came in for the appointment with a visiting friend, we arrived 15 minutes early. They told us we were too early and we weren’t welcome yet and had to stand outside. When we were finally allowed in, they began a somewhat painful nail experience; my friend grew dizzy.

When the two of us began to talk about the day, they handed us a long laminated paper to read about their protocols and at the very bottom were the words: “no talking”. The woman doing our nails then rudely said: “don’t talk in here”. Had I known this was a no talking establishment, I wouldn’t have come in. But this was only on the card and not mentioned to me. The woman made us feel very unwelcome.

My nails began to bleed and my friend became dizzy so we stopped after our mani, but they charged us for the full mani and pedi; saying it was within the 24 hour cancellation. They were pretty rude and unwelcoming; we truthfully couldn’t get out of there fast enough and don’t want to go back. Guard your cuticals - you’ll leave with sore and bleeding fingers and not the greatest...
