I have consistently gotten my nails done with dip for about 4 years now, and this is one of the best mani / pedi's, I've gotten in the last 2 to 3 years. It was also the most reasonably priced. They don't have as many options for colors in dip as other salons, but the quality of work was by far superior. Everything was smooth and consistent with no ridges or bumps in any of my nails. The best part is that I got the service done on July 4th, and I only now need to get them redone, a full 22 days later, due to grow out, they still don't look bad. For their prices, they include a complete manicure with massage and moisturizing hand treatments, as well as cuticle maintenance. Most other fancier salons don't include any of that when you get dip, you have to pay extra, which I've always thought was a ripoff. For what I pay around $130 for at other salons, and don't even get the manicure part, just a dip change and pedi, such as NK Nails close by or Polished in downtown Seattle, I was only charged $90 here with full manicure. I love that they can do the mani and pedi at the same time. It is a huge time saver. Yes, the salon is not as fancy as some other ones, but the service for dip was far superior and I plan to make this my new spot.

I’ve been searching for a stellar nail salon in the West Seattle area and it took years to finally found it. Visited at 5:00 PM midweek and they were packed to the gills. I had an appointment and was seated almost immediately. (100% recommend making an appointment beforehand!). Complimentary drinks, amazing selection of colors, and the staff knew what they were doing. Free massage with mani/pedi and my nails look amazing, I can’t stop looking at them. So so so happy with my experience!

I have been coming to Tina and her staff for years. I have the fastest growing cuticles and they always do a great job with them. I have not been in for a while due to cancer treatment and when I returned, I was treated with compassion and care. Tina and the rest of the girls truly care about their customers and I love the friendly atmosphere of this salon. They always do their best to fit you in as a walk in or on a short notice.

I’m satisfied! There is Coca Cola there to drink and excellent quality massaging chairs to make me feel relax. The atmosphere is amazing. My nails got trimmed short pretty fast. I love it here!

Have been coming here for a while now and almost always leave happy. They do get very busy but they offer water and iced coffee while you wait. I got the cat eye polish this time and I love it. They give a great massage and are always friendly.

Every time I’m up here from California I come here. They are so friendly and especially friendly with my granddaughters. I was nervous this time as I had to have a fill and it’s hard to trust someone once you have a person already. BUT she did a wonderful job. Wish I could have her come to the house this time as I broke my leg and get there.
