I love Apollo Salon and so does my husband! The technicians are skilled and also very friendly. The salon is kept very clean so we also find that reassuring! read more

I've gone to Apollo Poulsbo for years for mani-pedis, sometimes with great results, other times with meh results. Today tipped me over the edge - never going back to this location. I went in for a shellac removal and manicure. The technician started by using a dremel to remove the old polish, trashing my nail plates and cuticles without actually removing the previous application. They also drew blood in five spots when trimming my cuticles. I stopped them and called it quits after that. Poor throbbing digits are sporting thin nail plates, bloody cuticles, and sad pink remnants of the previous mani. Apollo, please take some time to train your technicians properly. Yikes. read more

I won't say much because a picture is worth 1000 words but wow. I think my friends 2 1/2 year old toddler would have done a better paint job. I will never understand when you complain that your nails look terrible, that they just have someone slap another layer on instead of taking off the polish and doing it right? Wow, just wow. Heading home to take it off and repaint them myself because it was very clear they were not interested in resolving this picasso. read more

The quality of my spa manicure and pedicure was by far, the worst I have ever had. The gal I had was super nice, but in all honesty, she should not be doing nails. No trimming of cuticles was done at all. The shaping was non existent. The polish was not dry after 10-12 minutes and by the time I drove home and got in where I could put my glasses on to see, almost every nail was smudged. Polish was not put on the entire nails. I would have been embarrassed to go out anywhere with them looking like a 5 year old had done them. I should be refunded the $80 plus dollars I spent on something I thought was a treat to myself. I had to go buy a polish that was somewhat close to the same color and redo my toes and completely had to remove all the polish from my hands. So disappointed. I cannot return or recommend Apollo to others. If not for the nice gal, I would have to give one star. Can't believe it. read more

Terrible experience, nail tech kept insulting how my nails looked. It made me feel very uncomfortable. Very unprofessional!!! Will not be returning!!! read more

Paid for a shellac pedicure, which is a 1 hr time slot - I was done in 35 min. Didn't get to soak my feet for very long. The leg massage was done very lazily and when it came to the polish, the edges were not clean. I could also see drip marks after I got home since the polish was not brushed out evenly and one toe was missing the shiny after coat. I still left a 20% tip but was disappointed as I am with most salons these days. Won't be coming back. read more

I am very disappointed at the treatment that I received at Apollo Nails and Spa in Silverdale WA on Sunday, June 25. I needed some help in finding the correct polish. While the receptionist was very helpful, the nail technician was very abrupt and impatient. In addition to that, she cut my nails and did not file them, leaving sharp edges on all fingers; I asked her to round out the edges and she ignored me. She left my cuticles jagged, sore and unsightly. I attempted to have a friendly dialogue with her and I was completely ignored. I believe her name was Gina. This technician will cause many customers never to return. read more

Wonderful afternoon getting my toes ready for Christmas. I had no complaints, only praise for the nail salon.

I have liked my experience at Apollo for the most part over the years. But the last two days have been atrocious by way of customer service. I had an appointment scheduled for which I showed up to a dark store - no signs on the door or message on their answering machine. Called later in the day, to which they apologized and rescheduled me for the following day. Again, arrived for my booked appointment to which the door was closed/locked. The receptionist came to the door and told me an emergency had taken place and they were closed. No phone call, no attempt to make the situation right or keep me returning as a long-time customer. Will not be returning or recommending the spa, very saddened by the lack of basic customer service practices shown to me. read more

I don't get my nails done often. It can be expensive and some salons can push extras that add up. But this place is great. I use Lucy who is sweet and does a great job. I get my toe nails painted and my hand nails buffed. They are clean and friendly, plus they don't push other crazy things on you. I now go every 3 to 4 weeks. read more

They were ~8 minutes late taking me for my appointment. The service itself was good. Significantly more expensive than the usual nail spas with Asian-female nail technicians. I'm going to give a new-ish nail salon in Poulsbo (over by Walmart) a try next time and decide which I like more between the two. read more

I went to an appointment with 4 friends Friday July 10,2020 for a 4:30 appointment. The woman I had ended up being malicious and cruel. She thought she was funny. Purposely hurting me and my repeated saying ouch your hurting me it actually got worse. I'm not sure what the issue was as it was a first outing for my friends and I in a long time. We also went to dinner after.. and the ladies in my group also noticed her unprofessional behavior. Not looking up and it ever acknowledging she was hurting me. Though it was repeated multiple times. Then, at the end she was cleaning the nails with alcohol and I mentioned it stung. She then wiped them off, squirted again and asked me if it stung and giggled after I said yes. That's just wrong... Honestly, had I said or done something she could have said she didn't want to work on my nails. I had and still have no idea why she behaved the way she did. Her malicious behavior was unprofessional and as stated, malicious. I won't be a paying customer here ever again. Ine read more

Seemed like a pretty clean place. When I walked in, I didn't get a huge greeting. I liked that there was a huge selection of colors. I had a basic pedicure done and it was alright. My feet didn't get to soak for long, it felt kind of rushed. The massage wasn't very good. It was super gentle like she was afraid to touch me. The gal didn't speak to me at all, in fact none of the gals giving pedicures talked to the clients, so it was pretty quiet in there. Would I go back? Probably not. I don't know. I kind of felt uncomfortable. It was also a bit overpriced. $36 for a BASIC pedicure Oh also, no one came to check on me while my nails were drying. I read more

I like this location better than the Silverdale one. They just seem less busy and it's more laid back. Service was consistent with the other one. They do good work, and some ladies are better than others. I don't have a favorite yet. Jimmy did my Shellac mani and pedi today and was really good and fast. The facility is nice (and clean) with lots of windows for natural light. I plan on coming back. read more

Amazing service! All the girls are so lovely and always do an amazing job! Their new volcano pedicures are incredible!!! Also, Yenny always waxes and shapes my eyebrows perfectly! 100% recommend! read more

Beautiful clean salon and wonderful, kind, talented technicians. Such a great experience. Will be back!

I'd give an honest 3.5 stars. Depending on who you get, you will have a different experience each time. Jenny was great and I would go back to her. Other techs have been quiet and looking off to space, either distracted or not enjoying their work. If I'm paying for attention or focus, I'd like to have it. I won't wax here again. The shaping was good but the slow pull was excruciating! I literally had raccoon eyes post wax because I had silently wept the whole time! And I had to actually wash my face, not just dab the makeup away with tissues post experience. I've waxed my brows at Anastasia in Beverly Hills or at a strip mall in the valley and this was still the worst pain ever! The salon is clean and everyone is welcoming. But engagement level depends on who you get. The actual gel nails lasted two weeks, typical, and my pedicure lasted 3-4 weeks. I was happy with my nails each time and I will return for that service. read more

Went in for eyelash extensions. Zero consultation or going through options. Just lay here and it started. Expressed that I don't want glamour lashes as it doesn't fit with my work. Just fill them in a bit basically. Spent $165 and now removing them today, so more monetary outlay. I look like a cartoon character, so they need to come off. Two stars for friendly intake staff. I am so upset at myself for spending this amount on something so ridiculously applied. I won't be using this salon in the future. Update... so over glued on one eye, that I lost quite a few of my natural lashes with the extensions. So now patchy and short lashes. Great! read more

I went in for a eyelash extensions and was blown away on the price !! A BIT STEEP $240 for a full set is a car payment I believe they need be a bit more reasonable!! To much glue above my eye lids not a bad job but the price is horrible!!! read more

Connie gives the best Brazilian waxes. She makes the experience professional, comfortable and as painless as she possibly can. The wax that they use at Apollo is by farrrrr the least painful I've ever experienced. They don't use wax strips I have never had problems getting squeezed in for an appointment either. I think the most I've waited was 20 minutes when I tried to walk in. Their location is a toss up because its in the corner of old town Poulsbo. But its definitely easy to find. Sometimes parking can be a little difficult. I lived in Bremerton, so the Silverdale location is closer. But I always went to Poulsbo, just because I liked Connie. (The Silverdale location does a good job too though, I've gotten one there a few times). It can be quite pricey for their Brazilian, but I've found out that a good Brazilian is worth it. I have yet to try any other services at Apollo, but I know they have good tanning packages that I was tempted to purchase. Basically, if you've been thinking of trying a Brazilian wax for the first time, at Apollos is the place to experience it. You'll honestly want to come back for another. read more

Not the WORST, adequate for the job. If I just needed a no fuss, in a hurry pedi-, and brow wax, this got the job done. But apparently, there was some sort of drama or issue with the technicians and some of the guests, because my tech (I don't give names on a first review, if I am willing to give a place a second chance. Sometimes, you get crummy service because of something unavoidable) could not stop looking at another set of guests, and the other techs. It was very conspicuous. And odd. It was clear she was in no way focused on my services, which, is why we pay people for a spa service in the first place. My brows were SO overdue that, I won't rate on the shaping of them, I just paid for a clean up, but I did react very dramatically to the wax. And when she pulled, Well, if I was an instructor I have failed her. A wax pull should be quick. This was very slow and excruciating. Probably, partly, why I pinked up so dramatically. The wax was a tad too hot as well. So, again, both got the job done. And I'll give it another go, on the toes, I will look for another brow gal. read more

Awesome experience. My girlfriend had Connie and I had Jenny perform pedicures on us as we were treated to the place by some very good friends. We will be going back! read more

I had a great mani-pedi here! Lily did a wonderful job on my nails and Loan did a great job on my Mom's. High attention to detail and a great job. I'm very happy and plan to come back again. Pro tip : if you pay in cash you get a 5% discount. read more

I came in 40 minutes before they closed for a mani pedi and was turned away. I guess taking care of the customer isn't their top priority.

I'm glad I stopped in here while visiting Poulsbo! It's only a 3 minute walk from my friends house. Jenny did my nails, and she was super sweet and accommodating. My nails look great and the pricing is good! read more

Consistently good! Shellac manicures last about a month and luxurious regular pedicures. Rewards points for discounts add up fast. They're booked often so call in advance. Staff are not chatty unless you are and everyone is professional. My go-to place in the area. read more

Very friendly staff. Pedicure and manicure were done quickly and they did nice work. The facility is clean and updated. My only complaint is the pricing was pretty high. Will come back again when I feel like splurging. read more

Great studio clean and friendly staff. But the Shellac I got on my nails chippes after 1 day. Not the best pedicure since it smugged after 12 hours after drying. read more

First time! Great experience! Everyone was very welcoming and nice. Relaxing atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

I used to go here when Connie (owner) used to be on the floor, she does a good job on waxing. Now she no longer goes to the shop and they have some other Viet girl there. I stopped by for a brow wax and SHE FRIKIN SUCKS!!!! I had to use their tweezers to finish the damn job. I swear some of these "techs" need to go back to school to learn the proper ways to do it. Also, they DOUBLE DIP which means they use the same stick in the wax...FRIKIN DISGUSTING! read more

I am new to the area and looking for a regular salon for shellac/gel color mani/pedi's. I tried the Apollo in Silverdale first, and then this one, and I have to say the Silverdale location is far better. Both locations have the same selection of colors, which is very small and disappointing. This location was not as friendly and the quality of the mani/pedi was not as good. Also, I am from California and the mani/pedi here is more expensive than in California..... which shocked me. Not really worth the price. I definitely won't go back to this location. read more

This is my "go to" place for all things beauty and pampering! I don't even request a particular person to do my pedi or mani because they are all consistently great. It's clean and a nice relaxing experience. You need an appointment which I like because there is little to no waiting. I also go to Yenny for all of my waxing! She's amazing. I have been going to Apollo for 10+ years! read more

They do such an awful job with the lashes. My lashes normally last at least 2 weeks when I do it anywhere else. But when I do it here, it only lasts 1 week if that. There's only one gal that does them here, so there's not much option of using another gal. She puts on the lashes really thin so it was bad to start with. The price here is very high compared with other places, especially for the quality. read more

Giving Apollo at least 3 stars because my nails look fabulous and on the account that they took me 45 minutes early. But as someone who works in customer service I was disappointed in my greeting (note I don't even know the name of the lady who did my nails), was not directed to where the sink was (was my first time to this location), and my massage felt rushed (my favorite part of the service). As someone who frequents the Silverdale location, and RAVES about it, I was overall not thrilled with my experience today read more

Connie does a great job on Brazilians, very thorough. However, they re-use the same stick in the hard wax which means if someone before you had something theoretically it could be transferred to the wax pot. I had a manicure done at the Silverdale location then tried to have it done here and they told me it wasn't possible. I went to a wedding as a bridesmaid without the nails that I wanted. Their prices are far too high for this inconsistency and lack of service. read more

I gave Apollo another chance and they did a great job! I went back for an early morning appointment. Tomorrow I have a late afternoon appointment so I hope it goes well! read more

Well I never thought almost 8 years ago I would be enjoying this so much. When I walk into Apollo Spas I am treated like family. The girls are all so sweet and kind. The friendships have meant the world to me, I so look forward to my visits. They are so gentle with my pedicures I could never think of recommending anywhere else!!! Merry Christmas to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

Celebrated a wedding here and loved how accommodating they were for our large party. The upstairs room was beautiful and fun. I however was very disappointed in my shellac manicure. The lady breezed through my appointment and it was the worst paint job I've ever had. She actually painted right over all of my cuticles. Now that is has grown out it is all peeling. read more

I use to like going to this nail spa but the front desk personnel are absolutely horrible. I had an appointment on August 23 and the girls did not seem to care that I had an appointment they told me I would need to wait because the technician was doing eyelashes. I had made this appointment 1 minutes nth in advance. I intended on talking with Yenny about how unprofessional they were but she was busy. I guess it is time to move on from this nail spa read more
