California Nail Salon — Local services in Seattle

If you are looking for a shellac manicure keep looking this is NOT the place to spend your time or hard earned money. The gentleman that works there is extremely nice and friendly, however, the female who does the majority of the nails (I was told) was rude, unfriendly, and unprofessional. I've gotten 100s of shellac manicures and I can say that this was the WORST experience ever. I asked them to take it off before I left. Yes, people have bad days and can have off days. However, if it is wrong or looks horrible then I (a customer) shouldn't have to pay and an apology would be nice this is a SERVICE business after all.

If you need a reliable consistent shellac manicure and friendly service check out Rose Nails just up the street. I suggest that the female working there today 6/25/17 go get a lesson or two from those ladies. Hope this helps the next...

I stopped in here to have some gel polish soaked off. This requires using a coarse emery board to grind off the top couple of layers of polish before soaking in acetone.

The guy who came to help me started with the coarse board, and dragged it across my skin. I jumped, because having your skin ground off is startling. He apologized, and did it again. And again. I asked him to please not grind my skin. He very nearly rolled his eyes, stopped the grinding and reached for the acetone. I thanked him for trying, politely but firmly explained that, if he couldn't get the job done without damaging me, I'd take my business elsewhere. And I did. The nice lady at the next place was gentle, quick and thorough. You know:...

WATCH OUT WITH CREDIT CARDS HERE!

I got an okay pedicure here and was charged the listed cost of $22. I left a generous cash tip and wrote CASH in the tip section on my signature slip when using my debit card. When they went in to do the adjustment they added $15 to my card for a total of $37. The bank confirmed it was held at the correct amount then adjusted. I traveled 15 miles back to the store to request they fix it. They did, but without apology, and only after I had to argue and prove it to the owner over the phone. Any business worth their weight would have not only apologized profusely, but also offered something in addition. I have yet to see the refund in my account, but I have a slip....
