I was really disappointed with my experience at this nail salon. I came in for both a manicure and a pedicure, and the final result was far from what I expected. The work felt rushed and sloppy, with several basic steps clearly skipped. The finish was uneven and lacked attention to detail, which is unacceptable given the prices they charge. What bothered me the most was the hygiene. The tools did not appear to be properly sterilized and were reused between clients, which is honestly concerning and made me very uncomfortable. Cleanliness should be a non negotiable standard in a nail salon, especially when it comes to personal care services. On top of that, they require a minimum 18 percent tip, which feels completely unjustified considering the poor quality of the service. The prices are already high, and for such mediocre results and questionable hygiene practices, it simply does not make sense. I will not be coming back. It is a real shame because I was hoping to find a high quality, professional nail salon, but this was definitely not it. Edit : I think you should remind your employees about the hygiene more than remind me that I can ask about tipping options read more

My nails chipped after 4 days. I ended up filing it off myself. Looks good from far but super bumpy up close. I'm not a fan of having my toes and nails done at the same time but even if you tell them that all salons seem to do it anyways to "save time". The salon was spacious and seemed clean. Pedicure felt rushed. A bit overpriced for what you get. read more

Seriously best place you can go on the east side. They're so nice and the techniques they do make your appointment not last hours on end. You leave with well kept nails that actually last!! Basic manicure or crazy designs and charms you got it! The pros are at bayside nails! read more

I go to Bayside whenever I need a quick tidying up of my nails. I don't usually get polish, opting for a basic mani/pedi with buff finish. I love how neatly they get my cuticles and shape. read more

First time to this salon for a pedicure . Very rushed and hardly buffed my feet . The girl hardly trimmed any of the cuticle area . Would not come back . read more

I got a shellac pedicure at Bayside when my usual spot was closed for the long weekend. I had a great experience - very thorough job done by the technician, including a luxurious massage. The space was clean and bright, and despite being busy didn't feel crowded or cluttered. I ended up with high quality polish. All for quite an affordable price. Highly recommend. read more

GREAT SPOT!!! I just moved from San Diego to SEA for a job and had some great gems I adored in SD and this place beats them!!! I've had my nails on now for over a month and they still look GREAT. It's insane -- even my best friend acknowledged how great they looked! My nail service did take a bit longer than expected so I didn't necessarily love that but knowing my nails still look wonderful made it worth it :) in comparison to other salons -- their attention to detail is insane, a bit longer of a stay there which isn't great and I wish I would've known but I do love my nails! read more

Zero stars, no question. Made an appointment over the phone yesterday to get a pedicure today (a Sunday) at 11:30. To be completely fair, I arrived 6 minutes late because I couldn't find parking and the salon is a bit hidden. Still totally my fault. Anyways, I went inside and there were 3 people working and all were in the middle of working on clients. How were they going to do my pedicure you ask? They weren't. So, the lady had me pick a color which I did in about 30 seconds. I stood there for about a minute before she told me to sit down and they'd get my chair ready. I was already 6 minutes late, so I was surprised my chair wasn't ready at my appointment time of 11:30. But fine, I could wait a few more minutes. However, 16 minutes exactly goes by or me sitting there and nobody moved to setup my chair. Just as I got up to leave the same lady said "she's setting up your chair now" and I see a lady quickly grab a blue liner for the foot bath. I quickly said "No, I'm just going to leave" and she was like "k" and went to back to doing what she was doing. Really bad experience, I got no pedicure and felt like me being there (even with an appointment) was an inconvenience. One of the things I hate most about so many nail salons is that they overbook or take walk ins when they have appointments because they want the volume, which I totally get because that's more money, but when that comes at the cost of making clients wait for extended periods, it's just not cool. read more

Attention to detail & very clean salon! Great quality for a reasonable price- especially in this overcharged area!

Really loved my pedicure and gel manicure today. My nails were shaped to absolute perfection- she was so detailed! The pedicure was heaven...it's such a nice touch that the scrub, massage AND hot stones are standard here My only regret is not asking the names of the sweet ladies who took care of me today, but thank you! Can't wait to come back read more

On Friday I went into get manicure, pedicure and my eye brows waxed. Nails turned out great but a lady with horrible eyelashes decided she wanted to wax my eyebrows. As she was leaning over me I could she was sick. Sniffling, and runny nose. It's now Monday and here I am sick. So inconsiderate and horrible to literally stand over someone knowing you are sick to wax their eyebrows. I tipped this person 8 bucks to wax my eyes only for her to get me sick. There were so many other people in there who could have waxed me so she could have easily asked someone else to do it. read more

Cheap but quality! I asked about a reservation the day of and was able to get a slot in the afternoon. Parking is a little rough because it's in downtown Kirkland, but other than that no complaints. I got a pedicure and was satisfied with my purchase, especially given the price point. read more

Love Ann who was getting my nails dressed so nicely every time I visited. She is very talented lady who is not only quick to get my nails done, but also meticulous in every details. Never had an occasion I left the salon with some colors on my fingertips, or needing to get my nails done within 4 weeks. Her dips always lasted 6 weeks, if not longer! I also enjoyed her witty humor, and her love of sparkles (which she always recommended to at least mixing in) too. Now I am on the hunt of tracking her down to the new salon she had moved on, while Bayside would be closed for a few months during the construction/renovation... if anyone have an idea where to find her, please save me and my poor fingernails! read more

Salon closes at 7 and I arrived at 6, thinking they won't take me in for full set acrylic, as usually those take awhile. They did take me, which was so sweet of them. I also thought she would try to rush, but she finished at 7:30, making sure to clean everything and take her time. Super kind people. The salon was clean and organized. Definitely will be coming back. read more

I have super short nail beds and toe nails which make them hard to paint. I've tried a lot of salons and my polish always ends up on my skin or cuticles. I found this place via Yelp and decided to give it a try. It's small (which I like) and clean. There's only a few workers and clients at a time so it's not overwhelming. My pedicure was with the owner and it was great. I've never had such a thorough pedicure- she made sure there was nothing on my skin and use a little brush and dip of remover to make sure I ended up with a perfect result. I really appreciated that since she did it out me even asking. The massage was also great and came with a hot stone massage. read more

Really beautiful job on my nails. I love the spacious environment and open windows of the location, too.

I was a walk-in at around 11 AM on a Thursday and was helped right away. read more

Bayside Nails - Acrylic dip powder, a sparkly red for the holidays :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Overall I think this is an okay mail salon. For the price and location I would have no problem coming back here. The salon itself is a bit hard to find as well as dated on the inside. All of us got gel nails and this is why my review is 3 stars. I expect regular nail polish to last around 2 weeks. Gel nail polish should last longer, however all 3 of us have put nails peeling by the end of the second week. We had our nails done on the 13th and it is the 27th. Mine lasted the longest but are cracking and peeling from underneath. One of my friends already lost a few nails. I think I'd rather spend more for better quality. Happy Spa Day! read more

I have been going to Thoa's nail shops for five years or so starting with her previous shop. I respect. Her attention to detail and giving her clients what they want Is a huge reason I am a repeat Client. She handpicked the right employees to assist and their attention is parallel to his level of quality. This is a small business that do business with. If anyone's looking for a new nail salon that also provides waxing You will never be disappointed Very clean, sanitized and COVID ready I moved to Seattle a year and a half ago. This should give you an indication of my loyalty,because I still drive of the bridge to get spoiled by her and her staff. read more

I had a regular Pedicure and a shellac French Manicure at this salon last night. I walked out of there planning to write a 4 maybe 5 star review based on the salon cleanliness and decor, the staff's friendliness, their ability to follow personal preferences, and price. But this morning I noticed that the tips of my Shellac French Manicure are yellow... almost looked as if the nail polish is burned! I'm not sure why this is... it has never happened to me but it makes me wonder, it also makes the time and money I spent a complete waste! I do hope they read the reviews and try to do better because they are in a really great location, the ladies are super nice and the prices are reasonable. Too bad! I really wanted to like them. Update: I appreciate the owner's response, but I did not handle anything that would stain my nails. I went straight home to pack my bag and go to bed because I had a very early flight the next morning. Also, it looks like the nails are cracking on the tips and getting even more yellow :( you can see it on the pictures from today. I will take her up on the offer to re-do my nails once I return from my trip, but I still have to carve the time while on the trip to go somewhere else to fix it which was exactly the reason why I got them done 2 days ago. I attached new pictures read more

Kai has been my manicurist for five years and I truly don't think there is anyone more talented in the greater Seattle area. I've visited my fair share of nail salons and she and her team are the best. When it came time for my wedding and my wedding manicure, I knew Kai would kill it and she did. I always receive a ton of compliments on her work. She is so good!! Thank you always, Kai. read more

I had 3 appointments today & they were never available- left me waiting 45 minutes each time! Terrible!

Hallelujah!!! A nail place with reasonable prices and a good selection of colors that didn't make me want to file off my nails as soon as I got home. I would've given them 5 stars except for the place is a little shabby and they kept me waiting 15 minutes for my appointment. Also, Ana started my nails but Tem had to finish because they double booked Ana. That was perfectly fine because Tem did a great job shaping my nails...she was careful and very responsive to my input (too square, more rounded, etc) I just moved here and have tried 3 other salons before finding this one...I will absolutely be back! read more

This place was great! I did a walk in before my wedding day for a gel mani and regular pedi. They were awesome with color recs and making me feel relaxed. They also do waxing brows which I didn't know about and didn't think of till they offered. I spent about two hours there which felt long but I think was reasonable since it was so busy and I got so much done. At the end of the day, I was really satisfied with the quality of the services and the price for everything was $65 which I felt was a steal. read more

I usually go here for nail shellac and pedicure. And today was my worst experience. I used to like how they remove my cuticle and color my nail without any bump. When they do my nail, i thought she seems didnt care about my cuticle and i kept asking to remove my cuticle. And she told me there are no cuticle to remove. Of course my nail was dried and cuticle oil was removed . It was after washing my hand. And i was thinking She colored my nail so quicker than what i thought. And i saw my nail . It was terrible. It was not smooth. Looks ugly. I am not going to comeback anymore. It was not my first time actually. It seems like they got new employee and their quality has been down i guess. read more

While they do good work, their customer service is very lacking. Every appointment I've made, I've had to wait about a half hour for after arriving. They will lead you on and act as though they are "about" to get to you. Don't bother making an appointment read more

First manicure and pedicure since the pandemic started and it was really nice! I asked for a design I saw on IG and definitely got a good copy of what I was asking for. The shellac feels really strong and still looks amazing after a few days now. I did feel I was there for a lot longer than I thought I was going to be but overall really happy with the quality and look of my shellac manicure and classic pedicure! They also have lots of colors to choose from! Would come again :). read more

I went in for a full set yesterday and I am feeling pretty disappointed. I asked for the pink powder but it really didn't turn out well. Also all the nails are all different shapes and length and not sturdy. They all came off a few hours after I got them down. Would you consider refunding my money? I'm an actress and have to be on set on Wednesday and now am going to have to pay more money and spend more time having someone re do them. Everyone was SO nice - and I appreciate you taking the time for my appointment . I am just not happy with my nails and would so appreciate a refund so I can use the money again. read more
