I loved the online booking of what they offer and prices so you're not surprised. My tech, Jennifer, did a great job. She was very careful and took almost an hour going through a lot more steps than I anticipated. She didn't speak much and I appreciated that. Hoping these nails will last! read more

She is so fast and very kind. I love the work done here and will continue to go until i move there is no other nail salon for me. read more

Em Salon & Spa - Last set - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

First off, I am a super picky, OCD, detail oriented dentist. That being said, I would highly recommend Em Salon for anyone who is looking for the best of the best. Their nail artists are amazingly talented and creative and the salon has a tremendous selection of colors and types of nail treatments. Online booking is so fast and easy too. My nails were getting so thin and damaged after doing shellac for almost 10 years. They do hybrid gel treatments that do not require removing the entire base. I cannot tell you how healthy and strong my natural nails are now. Great parking nearby in the Safeway lot, extremely clean salon and everyone there is friendly and professional. Treat yourself. You'll be glad you went ;) read more

EM Salon is my go-to for nails! I've been getting the hybrid gel and my nails always look amazing. The salon is super cute, and booking online is quick and easy. Highly recommend! read more

If I could leave more stars I would!! My daughter absolutely LOVED this place!!! Came to visit Washington from Texas for a concert. Highly recommend!!! read more

Em Salon & Spa - Nails for the Conan Gray concert - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The technicians here are meticulous and nice. I haven't had someone give me such a meticulous pedicure in awhile. They spent a lot of time on me. The clientele here is on the higher end. Older folks and they tip well so that might be why the service is really good. I ended up walking in here Friday around 2pm and they were able to take me. A basic pedicure goes for $45. They were pretty busy after I walked in. Highly recommend. read more

Showed a photo of what I wanted, they ensured me they could do it. When my nails are 95% of the way done, they tell me actually they can't. My nails were supposed to be cat eye with hearts, instead I have blobs going every which way. My pedicure didn't include half the stuff listed on the one I chose. The woman cut my toe wide open, it's still bleeding as I sit here waiting for my toes to dry. The gall of it all? They're still going to charge me for this. So I'll be paying for two sets of nails within 24 hours because I absolutely hate the way my fingernails turned out. read more

I've been here several times and they always do a great job with my shellac mani or pedi. I love the hot stone massage, and scrub they use! They do a nice massage with spa pedi. The chairs are the nice massage ones. The salon is pretty, clean, and a great location to walk from the mall or Bellevue Downtown Park. I've done walk-ins and appointments. I recommend making an appointment for the weekend for sure. read more

I had to wait about 15 minutes after my appointment time but when Alice arrived to do my pedicure everything went smoothly. She is skilled and efficient and a very pleasant human! read more

Worst place I've been at. Rude, started things without asking first. She tapped the table repeatedly instead of just asking where to place my hand and she cut my finger with the machine. There are spots where the gel is still on. Never coming back. I understand they have appointments but I called beforehand and when I walked in, they said 15 minute wait. It was far more than that. The whole removal and process was quick. They just throw you out. Just put some oil on. Not even carefully, they just dumped it on and then told me to wash my hands and pay. Horrible. read more

Not great, they say walk ins are welcome but then make you wait for over twenty minutes. And then finally the gel manicure didn't even look so great and also had to endure a lot of cuts and nicks read more

You guys.. I think I've FINALLY found my nail spot!! This took YEARS in the making!! I've only been twice but my oh my, my last visit probably resulted in my favorite set YET! This is my first time trying hybrid gel? It's a gel x acrylic mix and DON made them better than I imagined. I came in with inspo pics but honestly I liked what he came up with even better!! (Went for a classic and clean Disney inspired look for a trip to DisneyWorld - pic included) They also have a main number you can text to set an appointment/ text photos/ ask anything and it's soooo convenient especially for someone who hates talking on the phone like me lol. And they respond super fast Number to text : (425) 454-6245 Give them a try & thank me later ;) read more

Em Salon & Spa - Hybrid gel by Don :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Service was bad. Keep rushing to do nails so that they are able to take other customers. The nails wasn't done well, because they were rushing and rolling his eyes to customer. Nails very easy to break, he didn't even put enough layers on nails. Also the nails wan't done well, not close to edge. A new nail looks like being for a week. read more

Great service, quality product and convenient salon location in downtown Bellevue! I recommend booking with Mario=)

Em Salon took me in with a last minute appointment and provided great service! I was sat with Mario, and he does amazing work and the massage part of my manicure was heavenly. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Seattle. read more

Definitely my go to nail salons for my ladies and I. Em Salon never disappoint with their designs and listens to customer needs. read more

I had pedicure appointment during weekday and place seemed to be very busy. I like huge selection of colors and it was nicely organized (compare to other places that I went). Place looks clean, nice massage chairs is a plus. However my pedicure was mediocre, when it was fresh it looked ok however nails weren't cut straight and when nails start growing I saw that nail polish actually was on my skin. I mean $60 for this work I think is kind of pricey... I don't think if I will come back. read more

Such a cute place that's clean and great with appointments. I usually get a hybrid gel set with a design. Don did my set and was super quick, helping to pick out some colors and added suggestions too. He was great with checking in at each step of the process. I've also had Annie do some design on my nails before and she's been wonderful as well. The girl at the front desk is also always super nice and helpful with booking, pricing and color selection. The place is a bit expensive, but worth the experience. read more

Em Salon & Spa - Airbrush nails by Don - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I can not recommend this business. The owner is completely rude. I came once and had a lovely experience the second time was awful. The girls who work there are kind but the owner is horrible. She is completely rude and unkind to employees and customers. Please do not give this woman business. The employees are definitely scared to speak up to her. Do not leave reviews like this but when I see slave drivers I have to say something. I just can't believe what I witnessed. read more

The length of some of my nails were uneven in comparison to the other hand, and the service was average - not particularly friendly but not unfriendly either. Additionally, the design on my sister's nails was a bit messy. read more

I'm a huge fan of Van Phan at Em Salon. She gives the most amazing leg and foot massage during the Debase pedicure. She's so good I've stopped going to anyone else. The salon itself is beautiful and clean. I park in the downtown Safway parking lot which makes it easy to get in and out. Highly recommend Van! read more

Front desk was exceptional. It was extremely busy and I am glad I made an appointment. The minute I got assigned a nail technician I felt so pressured and rushed to pick a nail color. My nail technician every 5 seconds asked me if I picked a color. So I rushed and grabbed whatever color I could see. I went with the delux spa $45 and was surprised my whole treatment was less than 30min? The wax paraffin was placed on my feet for less than a minutes and that's a little unusual compared to other spas. Massage was also very short. Not sure if there was a rush to get through the clients or what. It just wasn't a relaxing experience and felt very rushed and processed. I got my eyebrows done here and my eyebrows are perfect. I think her name was Jenny and she did an amazing job and was SO friendly compared to my nail technician. It was my first time here and I liked the salon and the cleanliness. I will be back in hopes for a more relaxed experience next time. read more

I'm YELP-ing this place again! Although I can't say my boyfriend will be back for any pedicures here...but I'm a fan of Kim's! I wasn't sure what I wanted. I wanted something Spring-y. Then...I saw she had a bunch of cool gel and dip colors. But as soon as I say the Cat Eye, galaxy colorway....it's all I wanted. I had 2 broken nails which meant figuring out a nail shape that would hide how short 2 right hand nails were. She went with oval, and my nails were so immaculate, they looked fake. Anyways. I'm obsessed. I keep making my boyfriend take pictures of my nails. He probably hates it. But everywhere we go, I keep getting compliments. Thank you, Kim! read more

I've been seeing Kim for awhile now and she continues to blow me away! She is quick, but detail oriented and thorough. She's nice to talk to, prices are fair and it's easy to get in! I've never had any of the other people but they all are super nice. LOTS of color options. I do the hybrid gel and it's amazing! read more

My first visit was based on convenient location and a desparate need to fix a bad acrylic nail situation from another salon. I went back because it was such a lovely experience! Mai did my nails both times and second time was even better than the first! Jennifer did some expert level waxing on my face. Definitely recommend. (If working massage chairs are a must for you then skip.) read more

This was my first time here and while my gel manicure looks great, I won't be going back due to the uncleanliness of the salon and the lack of sterilization of the tools used. I'm pretty disappointed because it's close to work and my nails do look great, but the whole place needs a deep clean. read more

I looooove Em Salon!!! Started coming here regularly for dip manicures early in the summer and I never want to go anywhere else. Jennie does a phenomenal job any time I've come in with pictures, requests, or asked her to fix a broken nail. My most recent visit I had a more complicated design requested, and Jennie was SO meticulous. She took her time and really made sure it looked great. I always tell people I go here when they compliment my nails Try to make an appointment ahead of time! They don't usually have a lot of availability for walk-ins as they're a popular spot. read more

Em Salon & Spa - Star acrylic set of nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Would give it no stars if I could. I went in for a 5:30 appointment and ended up staying until 8:30 when they close at 7pm. They went through 3 different people and had to erase one toe FIVE times and look at the end result... then they flat out charged me $140. Price wasn't the problem, an apology would've been fine, but Kim barely looked at the art I wanted and not a single apology or an offer for a refund or even a partial refund. Workers talked amongst each other when I said I wasn't satisfied because honestly.. who would be happy after that kind of result.. Place has downgraded a lot since the past, won't be recommending this place to anyone from now. Edit: please stop lying in your reply. I clearly came in at 5:30 with a photo to show you exactly what I wanted. All I need is an apology but that's alright, I'll make sure to let others know to leave a review on their experience here as well. read more

My daughter wanted a manicure and I got a pedicure - massage chairs, plenty of colors and relaxed vibe with clientele of all genders. Would definitely go back! read more

I've been a handful of times to see Kim now to do my acrylic gel set with designs! Making an appointment is super easy - I usually use the online version but have heard Kim taking appointments via phone as well. Kim is super sweet and does a great job on my nails! She's up for trying designs on me that I throw her way and I highly recommend her. The salon is super clean / cute as well. There is free parking at the Safeway lot next door which I find super convenient. read more
