Great head spa in West Seattle, friendly, reasonable, relaxing, and I highly recommend. Even got a hair cut.

I've been coming here since 2022, so at this point I have a complicated but mostly affectionate relationship with this place. What has kept me coming back all these years is the nail techs. I've accumulated my favorites, and a lot of them feel less like people providing a service and more like familiar neighborhood aunties/friends I haven't seen in a while. They will ooh and aah over whatever I happen to show up wearing, whether I'm actually dressed up or have rolled in looking hobo chic in sweats. New Hair color, fading hair color, eyeliner, eyeshadow, jewelry that is expensive or absolutely not expensive... somebody will notice it and hype me up. They also have no problem side-eyeing me when I disappear for weeks and eventually return with nails or toes that are WELL beyond their maintenance date. I get scolded for neglecting them, give my excuses about traveling, being busy or simply being too lazy/burnt out to care, and receive the appropriate sympathetic nods mixed with disappointment. Then we carry on. That familiarity is honestly one of my favorite things about coming here. Quality can depend quite a bit on which tech you get, though, especially for Gel-X and nail art. After this many years I know whose work suits me and who I prefer to book with. I've had some beautiful sets here that (I mocked up the design & bring a visual with me) strangers have literally stopped me to compliment, but I've also had sets with premature lifting and recently had a Gel-X extension pop completely off in under five days. So for anything more involved, I recommend finding a tech whose work you like and booking with them specifically. The owner and I are decidedly not each other's cup of tea, and after four years I generally prefer coming at times when she isn't there. I'll leave it at that. My affection for this place has always been much more about the techs(staff) themselves. So no, it isn't a salon I'd describe as flawless or perfectly consistent. But there are women here I genuinely adore seeing, they've done some wonderfully ridiculous colorful nails for me over the years, and there's something lovely about walking into your neighborhood nail salon after disappearing for a while and immediately being greeted with, essentially, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I missed you!! And look at your nails!" read more

This is my go to spot to get pedicures! I typically call in for an appointment so when I get there I'm seen. All the ladies are great and don't have any complaints. The iced coffee is always a great touch when having a self care day. read more

I was overcharged. I said I just wanted a lip wax and they charged me $25. I gave a tip which took it to $30 When I told me to $30 I went to another spa and they told me $8 for the exact same thing. Clearly they ripped me off. I'll never go back. read more

Walked in on a break from work expecting to be able to get a nice pedicure and relax for an hour. When I walked in, I was surprised to see not too many people getting service & couple workers standing around aimlessly.. I thought "even tho it's Friday I'm going to be able to relax and not be rushed" Instead I was told to pick a color (which I did) & ignored while two more customers walked in & were directly sat in pedicure chairs. One of them even received a hug (I'm assuming a regular); again I thought "must be nice to receive such a kind greeting!" So I'm walking around aimlessly until I ask where do I sit while I wait. Now I'm sat in the chair, I was offered coffee/water. That was the nicest thing so far. I refused, not because I was offput or anything but because I brought my own water. service is started I ask my nail technician for a service I receive everytime I get a pedicure. For acrylic big toenail. She turns to her coworker who doesn't break her concentration to make eye contact and tells her "no we're busy" My tech looks up at me and tries to convey the message. I already understood. I am a sitting customer but was asked to come back later to get what I actually wanted or to settle for what they could do right now. I sat a bit frazzled for a moment & asked to be clear "so I am a customer & cannot receive the service I am requesting?" she looked quite bothered to break the news to me but she did. She was kind when telling me I was only getting what they were giving (in so many words) Being that I was on a break at work. I agreed. The rest of the pedicure was actually amazing. I just wish I couldve gotten what I wanted. Maybe next time I'll have to make an appt because the service itself was amazing. Cindy is GREAT & I'll be tipping her personally. She is the only reason I will be coming back here. read more

It's been over 3 years and I still come to this salon! :) They have updated some of the services they offer, though I typically just get cat eye effects with my gel polish manicure - which btw gets compliments ALL of the time! The staff are always friendly, patient, and calm, which always makes me feel relaxed when I come. I never go anywhere else and don't ever feel a need to! Thank you Tina and team! read more

This salon has two locations next to each other. I have been been here about 5 times ( just moved to the area 5 months ago). First few times I went to the location in the little strip mall and enjoyed the service, even when I had to wait for 15 minutes or so since I just walk in. The last two times I came here, I walked it to a room with zero or only a couple of customers (multiple technicians not doing anything but chatting with each other) and was told to go to the other location. When I asked why I can get a pedicure here, the answer was a dismissive "they will do it". The service in the separate building, appears to be more of a training location vice the skilled technicians in the strip mall location. I will be finding a new nail salon. read more

They are always so kind and thoughtful and they do great job with designs! The service is super great and they're always very helpful! read more

They need to figure out how to do time management. Don't say walk in's welcome and then you wait for almost 30 minutes, to have yourself bumped and told to come back in 2 hours. I understand I don't have an appointment and the priority is with someone that has an appointment, but my point is, let the walk in's know that you have someone with an appt that's coming and that they will be available for me within the next 2 hours. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! First time doing a gel x mani and I love the feel and look of it. The chrome is super fun and flashy. These ladies take care of you and offer free delicious Vietnamese coffee or sparkling wine or beer. And always give you a neck and shoulder massage during your service. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter and I went here on a recommendation from a friend. I had called ahead and spoken with Tina, the owner (I believe?) to make an appointment- we arrived and they got right to work. Super friendly, funny, and kind staff and they brought us complementary iced Vietnamese coffee that was delicious! The service was efficient but gentle, with the nail techs asking me to let them know if anything hurt. A nice change from the sometimes jarring cuticle push downs, filing, etc. (I have never had such detailed attention paid to my cuticles, btw.) I got a lovely hot stone massage for my feet/calves and a neck/shoulder massage as well during my service! My daughter opted for a full set plus art (which turned out really great!) and I went with a simple gel mani/pedi. We had a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back. Go see Tina and her team! You'll be glad you did. read more

This place is very efficient. I felt super pampered because of the free drink (iced Vietnamese coffee which feels like such a treat). I usually head to a nail salon for a pedicure, and it costs $28 here. They scrubbed my feet, gave me a good massage, and provided a hot towel. While I didn't have an appointment, I called on Sunday morning and they told me to come at 11:30am. Right on the dot, they were able to get me into a chair. It's $8 more than my original nail salon, but I'd definitely come back. Great service and they were very meticulous. read more

I used to come here a lot before the pandemic, I came about 2 weeks ago, and the service wasn't like I remembered. I did a basic mani and pedi, the pedi was done by an older woman, she was not thorough and my nails still felt like it needed a more thorough cleaning done. Within a week the gel started coming off, I peeled off the gel color and the nails under were not clean and cuticles look like they were barely trimmed, it was not like how I've gotten in other nail salons. The manicure was done by a younger woman. Her massage was brief, it felt like the lady we did my manicure was rushing. They're still busy, and parking in the lot is better. But the energy in the salon didn't feel like it did pre covid, hard to explain. It felt friendly, but also forced. They still offer the complimentary drinks. I would just rate this place average now, I used to love coming here, but I wasn't satisfied with the pedicure especially since it came off so easily within a week. read more

This review is very late but I love Day Nails & Spa! I came in around 9 am on a Monday before the rush and got seated right away. I got a shellac manicure & pedicure, while, my sister got a gel manicure & pedicure. We were not disappointed. The service and massages were great. And, my toes still have the shellac on them and it's been 4 weeks. The only slight complaint would be massage chairs were a little too powerful. Other than that, I would definitely return again! (+ the prices were fair!) read more

Not realizing there are two locations of this business. One is located in the strip mall on the corner of 35th Ave and Roxbury other directly located in a single building on 35th Ave. This apparently only opened on the weekends. Had a great pedicure with Cindy the technician, She was very professional, friendly and gentle. This is a great place. I do recommend this spot. They also offer a refreshing beverage. I recommend the Deluxe Pedicure. The extras are worth it. read more

I've been coming here ever since I moved to West Seattle three years ago and love it! The staff all do a fantastic job and are very detailed oriented - plus, they give some of the best hand, feet and shoulder massages I've ever had at a nail salon. The cherry on top is the complementary Vietnamese iced coffee you are offered! Overall, I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

I've been coming to Day Nails off and on for many years- at least 5, however long it's been since they opened the upper salon. It has been one of my favorites for a long time- I found this salon years ago via Yelp and the reviews don't lie! Got a massage today that really helped my mom-stress melt away. The environment here is really jovial and joyful- the owner is always present and the staff are all so so friendly and thorough. Check out the nail art by Ivy! She does the cutest designs. read more

I went here for the second time yesterday. I don't get my nails done often and this is the second time since 2017 or 2018. I walked in and was greeted by everyone, even those working on customers. I said I wanted a manicure and they told me to choose my nail polish color. Once I chose the color I sat down and they asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered red wine :) Le did my nails. She was very thorough with my cuticles and making sure when she was shaping my nails that they were even. She was very quick but accurate! She did multiple layers and even after she completed my nails she repainted one of my nails bc she saw something wrong with it which I truly admire. She also did the parafan wax and gave me a back and hand massage. It was heaven! I will definitely come back and maybe more often. Tina also joined and we talked for a little bit as well. :) it's always nice to see the owner on the floor with her employees. read more

I used to come here many years ago and just moved back to the neighborhood. I was excited to come back, especially when they told me they offer Gel X. I love the friendly owner and the yummy iced coffee, but the quality of my full set was not up to par. I asked for x short almond. They only had square medium length tips, which they put on my nails and tried to shape into almond. It was not consistent, each nail was a different length or shape and way too long for my liking. I was bummed. read more

If you need an unimpressive manicure, this is the place to go. It's clean, offers gel and regular nail polish, and prices are reasonable. I had a regular shellac manicure (declined the wax and massage due to limited time) and asked for my cuticles to not be cut. The nail tech did not paint any of my nails fully. The sides were without polish, but she did the manicure in less than 30 minutes so timing wise, I would say it's an efficient manicure. There are also small bumps in my nails, probably from dust particles or bubbles?? I have been here several times and they are always quick with their service, so I appreciate that. When I had my special occasion wedding nails done, I went to a different nail salon, but I do think this place is acceptable for a regular manicure. read more

Free Vietnamese coffee with your service! I always leave feeling relaxed and happy with the quality of work done on my nails.

I've been a regular customer of Day Nails for the last 5 years. Their deluxe mani/pedi is how I escape from the day to day grind!

I went here regularly for years, pre-COVID. After today, I'll never go back. Today I arrived for a 4pm gel manicure appointment to find the shop completely empty. No customers. No nail techs. I waited a few minutes to see if anyone would arrive. When no one did I went to their shop next door for help. All of the chairs at this location were full and everyone seemed occupied. I let them know that I had an appointment and that the other location was completely empty. They told me to pick out my polish from the wall while I waited. Because most of their gel polish bottles are not labeled, this required opening each individually so that I could see what color was inside. After choosing my polish, I waited another TWENTY MINUTES without being attended to. I finally asked if anyone was now at the other shop who could help me. I went *back* to other shop and all of their seats were now also full. Finally, someone told me to come to the manicure table and pulled out a pair of clippers that were clearly used and unsanitized. That was my final straw. They used to have great customer service. But that's definitely a thing of the past. I'll happily take my business somewhere else from now on. read more

I was today for the first time, completely satisfied, that do a great job. I will come back.

I love this place so much, I was gonna gatekeep it. This is the best pedicure I've ever had. Plus, free iced coffee!!!! Just don't go when I go. You're welcome. read more

Day Nails and Spa has updated to keep up with Covid times! Temp checks and contact tracing in effect and you simply sign in and take your temp! Hand sanitizer provided and don't worry it's not the kind that dries your skin out. The team all wear masks and keep distance between groups when inside. Our group of two had a plastic divider put up between us and the group of three-- who were still separated from us by a chair. When the location is full just walk down to the first salon and see the other team! The team is working hard to give you a relaxing environment that is still safe and sanitary-- I work in housekeeping so I sometimes watch the cleaning methods after my pedicure and I watch them use proper cleaning techniques to clean between customers. You can really tell they're working hard to keep everyone safe and happy! Thank you again for my FOURTH birthday nails at Day Nails & Spa. read more

Updating to five stars. Since my initial review, I've gone back three times and had excellent shellac manis without issue. Once, they were even playing music videos on the TV!

I used to live near here and went all the time. Was in the area so made an appointment for a mani pedi. When I got there had to wait to get started which happens, but now looking closely at my manicure, it's horrible... the cuticles are all raggedy looking and the edge of the first coat of polish is no where near the nail bed and it's very visible. Added to this that the price is much more expensive than it used to be, it was very disappointing... read more

I went here cause it was the closest to home and my friends kept telling me that they have changed and are better now. So of course, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and came back after a year. Wellllllllllllll again regretful. Lady's again didn't speak in English and Tina was not there to translate. They kept calling Tina asking what I was saying. My tumblr nail is sloppy like I did it myself at home. Two weeks ago, I came and it was fine but they overcharged me once I relooked at prices and what I had done but I said in my head it's fine. Plus I didn't have time to go back and complain cause I flew out the next day. read more

Excellent massage and high quality mani/ pedi. They don't rush the service and really make it a relaxing experience.

Made me wait a half hour for my appointment. My nails had no polish and they wanted to dremel them down anyway further causing damage. I asked for just a manual buffer kind of brushing and she refused. My nails were already this from all the dremel I explained but to no avail. They don't seem to have the skill to attend to nails that require gentle care. read more

Omg they got new chairs! Yaaaaaaassss! My family and I been exclusively loyal to these ladies for almost 5 years now for pedicures. They are amazing and take the extra care to make sure my feet are up to my high standards. In the winter I get the paraffin wax treatment on my feet for extra hydration most salons will not do that treatment on feet and look at you like you're crazy for asking. Not to mention how delicious their Vietnamese Coffee is! Don't waste your money anywhere else! *cough cough* Westwood village. Tina, good job you should be proud! read more

I have only been here twice and the service is TOP! The first time I went to get a mani pedi before my trip to Mexico in May 2017, and I was blow away by the experience! I started talking to my peeps and many of them come here too, which makes me know they are good! I found this place on yelp and was looking for a spot, most would say it's in west seattle but it's Burien close to Roxbury. I got a massage on my shoulders, legs, back n it was for a long time too, I felt great. I ended up getting a my pedi and mani work by two different people! One thing I need to ask about is they did the paragon wrap on my hands the first time but now the second time, which was different! So I'm not sure f it's included or now! After getting there I was asked "do you want coffee", at first was like no but then I defiantly was happy I got it, is freshening it sets the mood and your just calm! They also have punch cards, holy mole, so I enjoy coming here BC I will soon get a free one! If your in the area stop on it, it's busy but it goes pretty fast, the wait! read more

Had a really lovely first time experience at this salon, after finally giving up on NK nails and their sloppyness. It's been about a year since I've had a mani/pedi, as I learned to do it my own due to Covid. Well, I'm done doing it on my own and decided to get back to the old routine of paying someone else to do it. I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp and read the reviews - everything was spot on. The people here are genuinly nice, and they don't rush you. Not once did I feel as if I was a nuissance (thats the NK way...) and it was actually relaxing - which is really hard for me to do. I hadn't noticed that the hot stone massage is included in the pedicure, and it was SO nice. I walked away with happy feet and hands, all for $80 (shellac for both hands and feet). Will definitely be back! read more

I was referred here a couple years ago, when Tulips Nails, in Jefferson Square, changed owners. I have never felt a need or desire to go anywhere else. I live on Alki and have no problem making the drive. And, I'm greeted with my favorite Vietnamese Coffee EVERY TIME! That place in Westwood Village next to Big 5 looks very unattractive to me, and really, flat out scares me. Tina runs a great business. I always look forward to getting my nails done! read more
