Queen Bee Nails Spa — Local services in Seattle

Edit: SEE PICS (though please excuse my mess of a spray tan lol) - Day 4 after I got my nails done (shellac fill), the shellac started chipping and peeled off two fingers. Today, it’s still been less than a week since I’ve had my nails done & the shellac has already peeled off three fingers and began chipping on a fourth. Worst hold up of any nail service I’ve ever had.

I had been coming here every 2 weeks for a fill for the past few months. Each new person who did my nails had a different routine and used different products. Sometimes they would have me wash my hands, sometimes I had to stop them to ask if I should, to which they then “remembered” and had me rush over to do so. Some would spray stuff from a bottle on my hands and others would not. There’s no routine. Same can be said for prices. I paid the same whether I paid cash or card even though I overheard them MANY times tell other customers that they would get a discount paying cash. Today, I told her I’d pay in cash and she at first told me the cost was MORE than the other times I had paid with card. Then brought the price down to what I was paying before (with card) when I offered to pay cash. Ridiculous. Had started going here because it’s just a 10 minute walk from where I live so the convenience was nice, but I’ll be going back to my previous spot in Capitol Hill (longer commute but I can deal, especially when they offer lower, unchanging prices AND punch card incentives). This place is always super empty when I go in (never seen more than 2 other ppl in there at a time) so if you want a quick fill this is your spot, but if you want care and quality i’d recommend elsewhere. Only been “wowed” once out of the 10+ times...

I got my nails done there on Monday. They seemed to have mixed reviews but I decided to give them a shot because they're close to my office. Big mistake. I usually pay $35-$40 for dip for my nails. I checked their website where it said dip was $50 so that's what I prepared to pay. Little did I know they nickle and dime you to death and don't tell you! Apparently it was an additional $10 to take the old dip off my nails which they never told me until I went to pay. I have been getting my nails done for almost 10 years now and i have NEVER had to pay extra to get old dip taken off if I was getting new dip put on. That is always a service that is built into the cost. I feel as though it was unfair for them to not tell me upfront that would cost extra when normally it does not. Super shady business. Additionally they charged me $1 to cut down my real nails. Also something I have never been charged separately for. When I said I was not expecting that they were completely unapologetic. So I ended up paying $61 for a service I was expecting to pay $50. It is now Wednesday and my nails are already chipping! I am completely upset I wasted $61 instead of just going to my normal salon and paying $40 for the exact same (but...

Didn't like it. Don't waste you time and money. I did go with my friend. Her lady was okay, mine was rude. Instead of using words like (soak in your feet, put it down or something like that) she would push my leg or she would tap on it if she needed to do something. Omg. My friend was okay with her mani. But when she saw how my lady was treating me she was in shock. I was in shock too. But didn't wanna act like total b*tch. They would always speak in their language. Which is not one of the best feelings. It's like they talking about you all the time. She told me that my nails are short several times. I said like it like that. She told me that again doing my mani. So and the end she asked me to pay before she pair my nails. I didn't feel comfortable either. I didn't like it. So I was going to leave less tips. And instead of putting number of tips I did put "cash". She wasn't happy about it. She was telling me that I either need to put tip amount or nothing. Paint was bad. Nail sh8ape was uneven at all. Don't waste you...
