There were plenty of available time slots when I made my reservation. Upon arrival, they had a large staff. The space was a bit tight, but the experience was still comfortable. I also appreciated the detailed parking instructions provided during booking and the appointment reminders. During my service, I had two staff members working on me at the same time, with one handling my hands and the other my feet. They were responsive to my requests regarding nail and cuticle trimming, which I appreciated. The only downside was that the nail polish on my hands did not fully cover my nail beds. Additionally, I only received scrubbing on one leg. I'm not sure if that was due to the combination service but I was hoping for a more thorough exfoliation to help remove dead skin from my feet. They were very attentive when it came to trimming and filing my toenails. I was happy with how my feet looked when the service was finished. Overall, it was a positive experience with a few areas that could be improved.

Their nail artists are amazingly talented and creative and the salon has a tremendous selection of colors and types of nail treatments. Online booking is so fast and easy too. My nails were getting so thin and damaged after doing shellac for almost 10 years. They do hybrid gel treatments that do not require removing the entire base. I cannot tell you how healthy and strong my natural nails are now. Great parking nearby in the Safeway lot, extremely clean salon and everyone there is friendly and professional. Treat yourself.

I'm writing this review now that I've stopped going to Lina's Salon. I had great experiences with…read morethe younger technicians, but my experience with Lina was awful. I had grown out my natural nails to a length I loved, and she used an electric file to shorten them, which caused all of my nails to break. She also cut my skin and made me bleed. When I returned and explained what happened, she seemed annoyed and again used an electric file, which caused a burning sensation. When I pulled away, she rolled her eyes at me. I refuse service with her and the relationship with the salon turned sour, guessing because she is the owner lol anyways I've taken my business elsewhere there's hundreds of great nail salons out there and better technicians that would take better care of your nails. Using an electric filer to file down nail is a big NO.

TL;DR: average place but you can get the basics. Nail art here could be hit or miss. Attention to…read moredetail is questionable (had lots of bubbles in my topcoat but no staff said anything or offered a redo at the visit). Parking: small shared lot. Service: wait to be seated, pay at the front when finished. Staff are super friendly and gentle with cleaning the areas around the nails. A little awkward when it's time to leave -- we sat there for a long while waiting for someone to tell us we were ready to go after the polish was dried (polish was drying for 30+ minutes) but not one came and we had to flag someone down. Complimentary drinks with service do not include any caffeine or alcohol free options besides water. Disappointing because I am unable to have caffeine or alcohol. I had the Jelly Pedicure and a manicure. I requested nail art but was told that it would be "difficult" to do without gel polish. I think the staff were just unwilling in my opinion. A good nail artist can get it done with regular polish just fine if they take the time. I just wanted one small image on two nails but was declined. I asked about marbling and was told it couldn't be done without gel. There are plenty of people that have done marbling with regular polish as well. I'm not sure this place has experienced nail artists. Manicure details: there were a lot of bubbles in the top coat and the tips of the nails were not wrapped (where some of the polish goes under the tip of the nail to protect the polish a little). I was offered a redo after I posted the images but I don't think I'll be making the trip back, as they are not near me. I'm surprised that they didn't mention the bubbles at all during the entire process or came to check on us or checked their own work. There was only 2 of us and one other person when we were there. Jelly Pedicure: relaxing and nice. I recommend this service for a good cleaning and relaxing. Overall, I wasn't really impressed with the paint job of the nail polish, especially since it was a single color with no art.

I picked out Elite Time Nails because their designs seemed promising- the design I had for them was a lil challenging since it required a bit of everything but they did an amazing job with it, taking the time to tend to my nails with superb attention to detail. So happy with how they came out! This set cost $130 (w/o tip), similar price to how my last set cost from a different salon (in cali) so I believe the prices are average given what service + additions you're adding to your set. The ladies were super nice and while they did my nails, I got to watch some soothing korean baking videos. Highly recommend this salon, wonderful service and vibes! Definitely would come again :)

Booked a massage and hydrotherapy, pretty easy to book online or call in (required for a couples…read moremassage). Easily accessible, few blocks away from Bellevue Square and even walkable from the new 2 line link. Parking is available in their small garage but only for 3 hours (validated online with a code Yuan Spa provides). Otherwise there's street parking. Arriving early is a plus to use the washroom or relax in their lounge area with snacks (wasabi peas, banana chips, and honey pretzel sticks) and hot tea. Shoutout to Jessica and Emma for our massages. They were extremely comforting and the hour flew by insanely quick. Hydrotherapy is self guided between a hot pool, cool pool, steam room, and dry sauna. All are soothing but many gyms have these as well, so I'm torn whether it's worth it. However, definitely a nice supplement to other services here in the same location, which is a fair argument. One thing I hate is the check out process. After checking out, they'll ask if "you'd like to add a gratuity" which I always feel is just a darker practice in the social moment. A good massage deserves a tip for quality service, but hydrotherapy feels like an interesting gray area. However, it's easier to just give a percentage on the total amount. On the flip side, I love how they also provide up to 30 minutes buffer after hydrotherapy (maybe also other services, but we ended on hydro) to shower and leave. Passing that half hour mark would result in a charge rounded up to the next hour.

After reading many of the comments on Yelp I decided on Y's Nails because it was close by and the comments were favorable. (Also, I'm a guy so this is all completely new to me.) Yoko was patient, friendly, chatty and very professional. Everything was clean and tidy and very efficient. Since she only has one client at a time she schedules accordingly and it never felt rushed. The session felt private without a bunch of people walking around. I came out with my toenails clipped and my feet pampered. Compared to other salons Yoko's prices maybe higher but I feel you get what you pay for, and I received exactly that: excellent service. If I needed to go back, I definitely would.

From complimentary drinks to iPads available during your appointment, every detail is thoughtfully designed to make you feel relaxed and pampered. Asya is absolutely amazing! She is a perfectionist in the best possible way, takes her time, and consistently delivers flawless results. Her attention to detail, skill, and expertise are unmatched. I always leave loving my nails and knowing they will last 3-4 weeks due to her expert manicure.

The studio itself is clean, modern, and cozy, so it really feels like you can switch off for a bit while they take care of you. What really stands out, though, is the level of detail in their work. They specialize in Russian manicure and structured gel, and it shows in how precise, careful, and long-lasting the results are - your nails come out looking flawless and stay that way for weeks. Every cuticle is perfected, every edge is smooth, and they take their time to get the shape and finish exactly right. It's the perfect place to get your nails "tuned up" - whether you're maintaining a classic look or trying something more elevated, you walk out feeling polished and a little bit spoiled. I'd happily recommend Pixie Lab and specifically Veronika, who gave me home care tips and helped me treat a problem.

The nail tech I had was rude and unprofessional. I told her the style I wanted and specifically asked for less chunky and thick more natural-looking and slim nails, but she was dismissive and even said, "If your nail breaks, it's not my problem," which was very off-putting. She didn't even finish my nails, she only completed one hand and then moved on to another customer. I was then passed to a different technician who seemed inexperienced and unsure of what she was doing. I got cat eye gel, and the results were extremely inconsistent. My left hand looks great, but my right hand looks terrible. The magnetic effect is uneven, and each finger looks different. On top of that, all of my nail edges are rough and poorly finished. I paid $72+20% tip for this, which is honestly not worth it. I shouldn't have even left a tip given the experience. Overall, very disappointing service and lack of professionalism.
