Unfortunately I had a really bad experience here :( I came in with short natural nails with nothing on them. I wanted a full acrylic set. The nails were too round and there was clearly a space between my nail and the acrylic. You could see from the side they were slanted upwards because they weren't sitting properly. That is a really scary place for bacteria to be and could cause a painful infection. I walked out, got in the car, and went back in to ask for them to be removed. My technician argued with me for a few minutes, telling me there was no space, trying to add more glue to close the hole. I said no and asked for them to be taken off. She began using the electric nail file to carve out my natural nail. It started to hurt, so I once again asked for the nails to be removed. She finally started to take them off. As soon as she cut them, you could see the clear space between my nail and the acrylic. I did not ask for my money back and I'm not trying to hurt their business. But that is dangerous.

I went out of my way to try this place out from a tiktok saying it's great bang for your buck. I walked in and picked a color and did not wait too long at all. I got pampered for 2 hours! The mani pedi package with paraffin dip was really affordable! The employees were sweet, you can tell they get along and like their jobs as I came during lunch and they all shared meals with each other until they had appointments. It was a nice environment to relax in. Parking was easy, the place smelled clean and not like chemicals, and you get to look out the window and people watch during your appointment. I really think the pedicure I got was the best of my life. The massage chair and leg massage on top of it had me snoring at some points, so relaxing. I won't lie my feet looked pretty busted when I went in and I left with soft perfectly manicured toes and heels. I could rave forever about it! I added on a manicure at the last second which may explain the quality but it was not as methodical and well done as the feet. I think for the price it was fair, but it was a very very quick manicure, mainly just a trim shape and paint. However, they gave me a punch card and I can totally see myself filling it up for their awesome pedicures! A week later and you can see what I mean in the photo.

Pink glitter French tip nails

Called to make a same day appointment & got in, very fast & good service & also very cheap. I paid $50 for my nails

Lovely cut that I had to ask her to keep wiping the blood from.

0/5 stars. I should have noticed something was a miss when I walked past a completely packed Tru Nail salon and into this one and it was COMPLETELY empty. I called ahead to confirm when to come. I arrived and waited ten minutes for her to start working on my cuticles for a gel manicure. After 45 minutes of solely that with intermittent breaks I was told to go to a dirty chair that wasn't prepped for me pedicure. After 90 minutes and two cuts and a toe that couldn't stop bleeding I was then told to walk barefoot back to the chair I started in for a gel manicure to which I endured another cut and shotty work. After 3 hours and one customer coming in during that time I can honestly say this is the worse experience I've had at a nail salon.

Favorite nail salon in Seattle! The owner is amazing and really appreciates everyone who comes in!

I've been going to see Ann at city Nails for the past couple years. She is wonderful and always does a great job. Linda is very nice as well and is very kind and generous towards me and my son. Highly recommended, affordable prices and quality service.

Great local salon! I've been coming here for years. Ann is the only one I'll let do my nails. Great attention to detail.

Very crooked acrylic nail

I had heard good things about this place online but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. I wasn't finding the specific shade of green I wanted so Linda came over and helped me, the one she picked was lighter than what I wanted but she said it's darker when it's done so I agreed. My appointment was for 6:15, they close at 7. The nail tech's previous appointment ran long so mine wasn't started until 10/15 after my scheduled time which I didn't mind. But the tech did as she was clearly rushing through the entire process and was sloppy. Despite Linda saying the design I wanted would be quick and easy. When she put the nails on 2 of them were obviously crooked. She was able to correct one in the shaping process however the other is still very crooked (see photo). I kept tensing my fingers so the lady asked me to lean back in the chair, it wasn't until after she had painted the first coat on all the nails that I saw it was a very bright and SHINY green not at all like the photo I had shown Linda who picked it out. But at this point it was 6:50 and I knew it wasn't really feasible to have them restart so I just accepted it. I've included the reference photo I showed them here as well. Then the circles I asked the nail tech to draw very sloppy and mostly not circular at all! I'm not a nail tech so maybe decent circles are harder than I thought but it seemed like she just was rushing through this as fast as possible not caring about the quality at all. There was also not paint all the way down on the sides of several nails. The worst part is when I got up to the counter to pay the price was significantly more than what was listed online and on the menu at the shop. I didn't question it because I was simply ready to leave and have this whole experience over with but I did still tip the nail tech for her time. Overall bad experience and would not recomm

I've been coming to City Nails for years. I absolutely adore Linda, the owner. She takes such pride in her business. It's always clean and she only buys the highest quality products. Ann has been my nail tech since moving to West Seattle and will be my nail tech for as long as she will have me. My manicures are always immaculate and she always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm satisfied with my nails. Highly suggest giving this place a try!

Dark purple, almost black shellac manicure.

Got a last minute shellac mani-pedi on Friday because my regular nail place was closed. I'm a nail salon convert! Gorgeous nails & toes in a super chill environment (not to mention the sparkly pedicure chairs!!). Will absolutely be going back!

I literally swapped to City Nail Salon after dabbling with different nail establishments in West Seattle. I can tell you that I used to go to NK Nails and found them quite rude and were always quick to get through their clients, turning and burning. l. Also tried Tru Lounge next door and the results were ok, they insisted I do dipping when I had requested acrylic refills. I also went to Tulip Nails once and did not like the outcome at all, which was the tipping point to try out City Nail! I would frequent City Nails because they are friendly, follow COVID protocols, and do a great job. I noticed that some clients noted that staff are rude and to be honest, after coming to get my nails done here so often I realize that usually either joking or sarcasm. Mind you, the staff are not English native speakers so keep this at heart. When I first got my nails done here, I remember Linda commenting on how bad my nails were and asked where I had gone. She's pretty blunt, in all honesty, she's a savage. I actually enjoy that she has no filter and it is always comical to chat with her because she makes the experience that much more fun. A few times I have gone in to get a certain design done that wasn't exactly what I asked for but I know the technician tried her best, but let them know because they are more than likely to fix this problem or have you work with a different employee next time.

If you want to leave the nail salon with a fresh, clean and cute set, go to city nails. Not only is the service great, but every aspect of the experience left me feeling so refreshed and beautiful. I highly highly recommend, this has been my go-to for years!

Regular manicure, great paint job!

I made an appointment with Kat, she was kind enough to get me an appointment for Sat May 3,2025…read more@5pm. I was really excited considering I had not done my brows in almost 6 months. Having a baby and working the weekends it's extremely hard so I was very grateful I found a place and Sugar waxing was different for me I thought I'd give it a try. I had my appointment with Kiana, she greeted me offered me a flass of wine and we proceeded to the waxing table. I didnt feel pain at first but halfway through the session i heard Kiana say "Oh Shit", i was reslly nervous what she did to me and my left eyelid was on fire I i asked her to please take a break. Another customer showed up and she told the customer 5 min as if she was rushing. She showed me my eyebrows and saw she had yanked, pulled off a bunch of my eyebrows that werent supposed to be removed. I even asked her for an "S Shape" and later continued to tell me to come back Morgan was a specialist in eyebrows. This is so effed up when i made the appointment i specifically told them i wanted an eyebrow wax and i had a lot of work and trusted them. I am in pain still, my skin is irritated and extremely burned and ended up having a black eye of how rough Kiana was with my brow. I got asked at work if i was assaulted it was embarrassing. The owner Vanessa got back to me 3 hrs later, it seemed to me they were more worried about a negative review than the customer. Also Kiana has left unsatisfied customers. I will put captions on the pictures how it looked like throughout the day and reviews of different customer and texts i received. This was the most painful experience I've ever experienced when it comes to eyebrow removal. Next time I am just sticking with eyebrow wax. I gave it a try, it's definitely not for me and again more painful than thread, or wax. To each their own but had a terrible experience and wish them well. I do hope the owner obviously sees that many customers have been dissappinted by Kiaras service. My advice look into this place before you go there. My experience was awful and very painful and ended up with burned, damaged skin, and a black eye.

I couldn't make it in to see my regular esthetician so I came in last minute. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. The place is clean and the esthetician was very friendly and professional. I love my regular esthetician too much to leave her but I would definitely come back if in a pinch. Highly recommend!

She gave me the lashes I was after for this particular event! I got the voluminous lashes. The application was flawless and she was very gentle. Her studio is so cute, clean and she is super friendly and sweet. I booked in advanced for next next few appointments because they fill up quickly. She has been trusted small business in the area for quite some time and has built regular clients over the years. You will not be disappointed!

I feel horrible writing this review as I've been to Taylor for my first and second last experience…read morethat resulted in gorgeous, comfortable lashes around 2 years ago. Taylor was recommended to me by a good friend. I am giving 2 stars because I know the ability and responsibility is here at this business. But, I am disappointed in my lashes I had done with Mimi on 12/13. I reread the reviews here with one customer saying that Mimi took a lot of breaks and rushed through lashes but did not take this seriously. My experience was the same even though Mimi was really sweet. One can take breaks all they want but I remember that when I went to Taylor, she took over an hour and did not take any phone breaks. That said, I want to be fair and say that this glue Mimi used caused an allergic reaction. I powered through and took Benadryl and religiously cleaned my lashes 2-3 times a day. I texted Mimi and she said to take allergy meds and put a warm tea bag on my eyes. Well, who wants to ruin a $275 lash job so I did not immediately rip them off myself. I woke up with swollen, crusty eyes which I spent money get Visine Allergy eye drops and Systane lid scrub wipes to attempt to keep the lashes. I went on travel to SoCal and dealt with taking Bendaryl, cleaning my lids, cleaning my lids, itching, and burning lids until 12/24. I desperately made an appointment at another lash place to get them professionally removed. I walked into H & K beauty in Mission Viejo and the lash tech there removed them for me meticulously and carefully. She did not charge me for this removal as she felt bad and wondered why I wasn't given instructions to remove them myself or why I wasn't invited back into to remove them when clearly there was an allergic reaction that led to severe redness. It is by luck I did not go blind or end up in urgent care. The lash tech showed me the amount of glue that ended up on my lids which essentially burned them. As of today, my lids not still flakey and dry but managable/hidden by the work Ha had to redo. The last tech there redid my lashes just to save my vanity and I can say that at at the time of this review, I still have extensions that look good weeks later. (3rd picture). I messaged Mimi and while she was sorry, she just told me her lids were also itchy too and instructed me get a prescription from my doctor. It was sweet she commiserated with me, but it's not about her eye lids and I don't want to spend more money to take care of my eyes at this point. The redo in SoCal was $315 and the last tech there carefully worked on my lashes for a solid 90 minutes no breaks and I had no glue residue from her work. Ha followed up every few days with me and said if my swelling did not go down, she would remove them free of charge. In all, this was a $600 ordeal for just extensions. In the future, I would not NOT go here but I would go back to Taylor. Sorry this was an honest review and Mimi is sweet but I don't think her abilities and patience are quite to up to par as Taylor and that's why in all these reviews, everyone is talking about Taylor.
