Updated 7/30/22: docked off two stars because shellac peeling got worse while I was asleep! See last two photos. Worst shellac experience I've ever had. (And I haven't been doing anything crazy activity-wise)
Duyen did an awesome job on my regular pedicure! It can sometimes feel like the Seinfeld episode with Elaine but the ladies seem nice overall. I love that this place doesn't require you to wear a mask like some other nail salons in Seattle but I was quite disappointed in my shellac manicure. Lint strands got stuck in a few places and usually my shellac doesn't usually start chipping so early (it hasn't even been a week!) I ended up getting 3 nails redone at a different salon (see photo #6); They initially thought I had a regular manicure, commenting on how thin the polish looked. I overall had a relaxing time and at the end enjoyed a little back massage, but got progressively more unhappy as time passed. I get shellac whenever I want my nails to look great for several weeks and have never felt the need to redo nails before. The shellac machines could use a cleaning every now and then (especially to minimize the chance of any possible lint/dust getting in there.) Would maybe come back for a pedicure... maybe. Hope the staff members visit other salons themselves to see how they could improve their business. There's so...
Read moreWhen I lived in shoreline I would always go to this nail place and Julie was always amazingly sweet to me. I feel none of the nail techs I have ever had compare to julie. Shes very friendly, personable. I'm recently in downtown Seattle and been going to this nail place and they did my nails ok at times but this time messed up my nails badly. Julie fixed them for me, gave me a massage back and hand. She also does an amazing job with eyebrow waxing as I been there before for that. It took her a while with my nails but she took her time and made them perfect and fixed them up which I appreciated! My fiance agreed the nails look 100 times better! I would definitely go back to julie and travel to shoreline for my nails its worth the trip. If you are thinking of trying this salon you will not be disappointed. Just know she takes her time and does not rush but she makes everything look perfect...
Read moreI brought my wife here to get her nails done and it was a pretty horrifying experience. First, the workers nails are super dirty and not well-taken care of. Big red flag. The water basin for cleaning feet was not cleaned before her. They used a super rough polisher that made my wife's nails crooked. At the time of actually putting on polish, they didn't even clean my wife's nails. They kept applying too much polish and it wasn't even or well done at all, so my wife had to repeatedly request for them to do it again. Also, she went in for a manicure and pedicure, but they were putting oil and cream on her arms and legs, and doing a massage. The time could have been better spent with them paying more attention to the nails.
We don't want our money back, we just want the workers to have better experience to do a good job and avoid further complaints...
