Excellent service, beautiful salon, and a glass of wine or prosecco with the pedicure? Yes please! My friend introduced me to this marvel of a salon and I am so excited that they do a good job of making you feel comfortable, relaxed, not rushed at all, and also do good nail work. The girl who worked on my feet was very sweet and asked only minimally invasive questions - she knew when to stop pumice-scrubbing my feet when I couldn't stop laughing, and made sure the water was the right temperature - not too hot, but also not lukewarm. The glass of wine (good pour!) made the spa experience as relaxing as possible and the massage chair did a good job on my back while my feet were being taken care of. While the pedicure is on the higher end of the price spectrum, you definitely get what you pay for - quality doesn't come for free! read more

Love getting my nails done here! Friendly staff, clean stations, and the deluxe is luxurious.

The first time I went here was not the best experience but knowing that we all have off days, I decided to give it a second chance. Well, I should have known better. My pedicure looks horrendous. My toes were bleeding multiple times throughout the experience and after the experience. My manicure also started peeling a few days later. I really wanted to like this place as it was only a two minute walk from my place and is such a well-kept facility. read more

This salon have a really friendly staff, but being friendly doesn't mean being professional. I came her to make shellac manicure and I decided to change form of my nails instead of soft square make a oval. I never saw my nails in such horrible shape. I look at my nail and on one side it's longer then on other. Even I without experience can make it looks better. And the polish looks like this girl was polishing nails first time in her life. In the end my nails looks super cheap. read more

Before my wedding weekend, I came here with my MOH to get our nails done. It was a disappointing experience to say the least. My friend came in with nail stickers (you know the ones that you buy at the drugstore that you just stick on), and the nail technician that was working on her was getting visibly annoyed that my friend came in with stickers on. She started complaining how hard it was to take off and acetone itself won't do it. Basically, she was giving my friend major attitude and making her feel uncomfortable and guilty that she dare come in this way and making her job difficult. My friend told her multiple times that she's done this before and that all it takes is acetone OR she can just peel it off bc in fact, it's a sticker. The technician continued to shake her head in frustration. Eventually, it did come off, and just as my friend said, all it required was peeling and some acetone. It doesn't end here. My friend wasn't happy with her nail color, and before the technician could move on to the other hand, she asked her if she could change to another color. The technician grumpily slammed her tools and gave my friend a glare and basically walked away because she was frustrated. My friend immediately refused to get any more service because who wants to be treated this way? The technician that worked on me ended up coming in to save the day, because after she did my nails, she offered to help my friend with hers. We complained to the manager on duty, but to be honest, I don't know what happened afterwards. I did tell the MOD that she needs to talk to the technician, because she was not just subtly rude - she was overtly rude. Also, she shouldn't be slamming sharp tools in front of customers. My friend told me this a few hours after our disastrous nails and when she did, I was livid. Apparently, the technician had nicked her skin and one of her fingers bled. She alerted the technician that she was being too rough, and this was before the episode in which she threw down her tools and walked away. I am never going here again. I thought of checking out the Cap Hill location, but one experience at the Queen Anne location is enough for me. read more

I come here frequently and over the last 3-4 months the quality has substantially declined. The over schedule so everyone is hurried and skimp on quality. They consistently have issues with their clear coats becoming discolored and not painting it to the edge. The end result from my pedicure was less than satisfactory- I could have done better myself! It makes me sad because the caliber of this salon used to trump most in the area; now I'm afraid that's not the case. Bye, Apollo. I'm moving on! read more

I was really impressed by my regular mani pedi this time around. I've gone to Apollo a couple times, but Rose did my manicure and I was blown away. As with any nail salon, once you find a person that works for you - you gotta stick with them! Overall, the salon takes great care of their clients. But, I am going to keep coming back for Rose. She was fantastic, shaped my nails the way I like them and made sure every detail was taken care of. *my thumb nail is naturally like that * lol read more

Pluses: seemed very clean, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, efficient service. I came to Apollo Nails because it had good reviews and the spa seemed pretty nice/new/a little more upscale than I'm used to. I had a 10am appointment and was shuffled through a line of other 10am appointment people checking in and told to pick a shellac color and have a seat. The color choice was slim... like 1/4 of the choices at other salons. The color books were falling apart and dirty. The woman who completed my service came by sometime later - 10:15ish (no clue why there was a wait, but all of us were just sitting around waiting for our appointments to start). My service was ok, but she did catch my skin with nail clippers. The massage was almost non existent and left my skin feeling greasy. Most disappointing was the polish has already started to chip after less than 10 hours. I've never had shellac do this ever. Won't be returning. read more

I cannot rave enough about this place! After moving from the Philadelphia I was on the hunt for a good nail salon and it took me awhile to find it! I finally gave Apollo a try after a friend suggested it and boy am I glad I did! I don't even live in QA but I make the trek there just for this place. Main things I look for in a salon: cleanliness, attentive & professional staff and atmosphere. Apollo hits the mark on all of these! I'm usually pretty bad at scheduling an appointment and they are almost always full when I go there on a Saturday afternoon, yet they always work with me and have been able to accommodate me. I never felt rushed and the women who work there always take the time to make sure your nails look perfect. I don't know how they do it but my gel lasts 3 weeks compared to barely 1-2 weeks at other places. The one thing I miss from the salons back home is the glass of champagne, which seems like is not common practice in Seattle, otherwise love it! read more

I've been here before for nail services, but today I came in for shellac and pedi.... I was in salon for over an hour and 40 min and left with no shellac! The manicurist spent so much time time cutting cuticles that I had to leave mid service. I'm a busy mom who dose not have time to come back to finish the service, I spent 70$ plus a tip to not have the service I wanted. My nails now are cut down so much they are splitting and don't want them to finish the service. I came back today and they were really sweet and got my nails finished. read more

This is one of the best spots in Seattle for pedicures. It's super easy to make reservations but make sure you at least call 48 hours in advanced. Every time I come, my pedicure is immaculate. Wonderful spa bath, hotel, and a foot and calf massage. And normally my nail paint last 2-3 weeks without gel which I haven't experienced at other places. Only reason why I can't give 5 stars is because during my last visit my boyfriend received a pedicure as well and when he was finished he was rudely asked to leave the chair by another nail tech. He would have no issue leaving but the way she went about it was downright rude. read more

Pros: - Able to get a last minute appointment on a Saturday morning. - Clean facility. - Good selection of polishes. Cons: - For a $50 mani/pedi, it's disappointing to see huge chips in the polish after less than 48 hours. read more

Went in for a dip removal. Figured that was a good way to check out the place since I'd never been there before. My nails hurt so bad after the removal she might as well have just taken the dip off with a knife. Now my nails are so weak it will take forever to grow them out again. Could have done a better job at home myself. read more

Apollo Nails & Spa - After dip removal - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

meh. That is the only thing that I really have to say about Apollo nails. After getting a manicure and pedicure here, I am very surprised as to how this salon stays so busy. It was PACKED and the rotating door of clients seems to be just a box to check. My tech rushed my services and it showed! For the price, I would have been better off going somewhere else or just painting my nails myself since they looked very amateur and I could have done just as a sufficient job of that as my tech did. Spend your money elsewhere unless you are in an absolute pinch! read more

Apollo sets the bar so high other nail salons need to take note. I seriously cannot find another place that does as good of a job and has such high cleanliness standards. I wish all places took such care like they do. Also ask for Emily. She is unbelievably talented and does an amazing job! read more

This place is awesome. It feels like you're inside a fancy spaceship. Overall, the whole experience was 5 star. My friend and I went in for pedi/mani (45$) and they spent a lot of time on us (an hour each). Very sweet girls. I'd say it's worth it just for the foot and hand massages. On another note, the actual paint job was okay. Probably could have done a better job myself. (see photos), but overall it was totally worth it. Will most likely go back. Maybe I can convince them to paint all the way to my cuticle next time. (: read more

My partner and I stopped in on a whim of deciding to get pedicures. Neither of us had had a pedicure in years. Personally I felt a bit out of place (which I would in any nail salon as it's not exactly my vibe), but that was eased as the service was very kind and friendly. We did not wear sandals, and there were couches we were able to hang out on while we waited for our nails to finish drying. I will go back if I decide on a pedicure in the future. read more

I couldn't figure out why the nail tech was putting super glue on my toenail...I wasn't hurt but during my pedicure, she added superglue after cutting cuticles/filing. My nail was not cracked or damaged before so I could only assume that it was something the nail tech did. I didn't want to be impolite so I just made a mental note of which toe she put glue on. Well, two weeks later and my $75 pedicure is ruined because the nail was cracked in half horizontally. Half of my nail came off, plus all of the polish popped off with the nail today. Gross. Now I have to wait multiple weeks for it to grow out until I can get it fixed. I won't go back to Apollo. read more

Ask for Tao! She did my pedicure and it was amazing. I have lived in Seattle for almost 6 years and this was without a doubt the best pedicure I've ever gotten. She was so sweet. The complimentary foot/calf massage was impressive and it honestly felt like it lasted about 10 minutes. It's been an embarrassingly long time since my last pedicure (almost 6 months) and there was a lot of work to be done. However whatever magic she did to my cuticles and nails was absolutely PAINLESS and she made a huuuuuge difference (won't get into too much detail about my neglected toes). Getting a pedicure isn't just about having your toes painted. Many places rush to get you finished, but here they take their time and make it a very relaxing enjoyable experience. And $36 for a thorough pedicure with a nice long foot/leg massage is so worth it. I will be back soon. Thank you so much Tao! read more

Such a calm and pretty place. Great service. 5% off if you pay cash. Really enjoyed my pedicure especially my massage. Very soothing just what I needed before kickstarting the week. Their pedicure includes a really nice scrub, minty lotion and a lovely massage. Julie was super polite and kept checking on me if I was ok. She even increased the pressure of her massage when I asked her too. Super sweet girl. It's about 35 plus tip. I thought it was pretty worth it. Will definitely visit again!! read more

Thanh is talented and friendly - I highly recommend her. My hands and feet feel so soft and she really cleaned up the skin around my fingernails (they were bad).

This honestly was such a horrible experience it got me to write a review! I normally just lurk, read others reviews, never actually post! I am getting married next month and wanted to test out this salon for a possible place to get mine and my bridal parties nails done. I made appointments for myself and a friend to get gel manis and pedis at 5:30pm, they asked if I could do 6pm instead, no problem. I made this appointment 5 days in advance. Pros- very spacious and clean. Sadly the pros end there! Cons- limited selection of shellac/gel colors. I had TRACY for my mani, she started by asking if I want my nails short. I have terribly brittle nails and have been doing everything in my power to grow them long for my wedding next month, it's taken literally months to get them long and healthy. I said no, please just trim and shape I'm growing them for my wedding. She then proceeded to just clip them ALL OFF! I just about cried. Then she filed them, no shape whatsoever, nor did she even ask what shape I wanted. TRACY proceeded to talk and giggle with her coworker the whole hour I was there as I tried to ask her to fix my nails! She did nothing and did not answer or respond to me the whole time! They were clearly in a rush to finish up. Trying to clean and sweep around us. When it came time to pay, I voiced my disappointment and frustration to the two ladies at the register. Only one responded and said "oh that's too bad." Never once was I offered any sort of compensation or for my nails to be fixed! I know they can't make them grow any faster, but at least off to put tips on for me or something! I would highly recommend a different salon if you want to have any say in how your nails turn out! UPDATE- a few hours after my original post I did receive a call from DAISY from Apollo. She apologized for the experience that I had which I appreciated. Then she proceeded to say the reason the nail tech cut my nails was because they said they were too short to shape otherwise and she offered me 30% off my next shellac mani/ since that was the select service I was dissatisfied with. I explained that my nails were not short and they never shaped them anyways. I have added before photos as well, showing my not very long but also not impossibly short nails. We had literally been ring shopping the day prior. I explained to DAISY I would NEVER pay to go back there. She then offered a free shellac mani at my next visit and said they do not do refunds (which is completely fine) never once had I asked for a refund. I explained the whole time- I simply wanted my nails fixed, which was still never offered. I was only offered another shellac which will not add any length or shape to my nails. I think it is extremely rude and condescending to argue with a customer/client. read more

I've been to a few little chop shop nail salons around Seattle/Queen Anne and they all did the job and never went away hating my nails but nothing stood out. I had heard good things about Apollo and decided to try them out! I'm in the beauty industry so seeing the cleanliness of the spa/salon is SUPER important when I went in. This place is immaculate! Every thing is labeled and sealed (something they teach you to do for client protection in state boards) this is something I don't see often in many nail salons so that alone is 5 stars! Now for the service and professionalism! Outstanding! I called in the morning to make the appointment for later that evening, I arrived 10 minutes early and Chloe (my technician) received me early. She was very sweet and very professional. She removed my old gel polish carefully- without that painful drill most nail places use. I loved this so much. She asked me what shape and color and proceeded to do it all perfectly! I will have to say though, the appointment itself took longer than expected. This wasn't due to inexperience- this was because Chloe took her time to make sure my nails were perfect. Something I haven't experienced before. So grab a magazine or listen to a podcast- you'll be there for a hot bit but you won't regret it ;) I think I have offically found my new nail spot! Thanks Apollo and Chloe! read more

I've loved my mani and pedi everytime! I like that they take their time to make sure all my nails are perfectly shaped and polished.

This over priced "spa" is nothing special. I've had 2 pedicures. They rushed me through them. My toenail polish chipped within the first week of both pedicures. It's not worth the money. I scheduled online for an appointment. They made me wait 20 minutes and then said they didn't have time for my pedicure. Then I scheduled a mani/pedi. They were overbooked so I had to have them done separately and it's not a huge deal but it takes twice as long. read more

Apollo Nails & Spa - Such a great shellac mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very nice atmosphere. Definitely ask for a member points card! they didn't offer it to me so I missed out on 190 points:( and when I went back the second time and overheard someone ask about it, I got mine for that day but they said they don't back date points. bummer. Insist on paying before they put on your color so you don't have to nick your nails, don't know why they don't make this standard practice like my previous experience in pro salons. My first visit was a facial, mani pedi and you get an upper lip or brow wax (princess package) a good deal. I asked if I could switch out the wax option to do underarms which they were fine with on the phone, said it'd be an extra $8; but I had to catch it at the check out because they charged he additional $20 at first, but we're fine to reduce it as quoted. Holly is incredible, super nice and did a great job on my facial- relaxing, great smelling products and I felt and looked dewy and fresh after. The nails are good, best Seattle mani so far but I had dark blue gel the first time and they didn't get it all off so I had some dark spots and under my red shellac. Thiis time I had shellac taken off ($5) and regular OPI put on (spa mani $19) a bit pricey. My nails got smudged when paying and they were happy to fix but it looks chunky and dented which I noticed after sitting with the dryer a few minutes. I'm sure if I had asked them again they would have but I just let it go. All in all it's a nice experience but with it's flaws - both times I had rough spots on the tips and just wasn't perfect which at this price point I expected. read more

Apollo nails is top notch. It's very nice and clean on the inside. Very comfortable chairs and the technicians do a great job. They don't paint your cuticles but they paint the whole nail. If you're like me you know exactly what I'm talking about. They also not put so much gel on that it sticks up like a dip. Ps - they do not do dip. Polishes that damage your nails are called out so you can avoid staining/damage. It's the only nail salon I will go to. I have my girls that I see monthly and I think you'll find yours there too. read more
