    Amazing!!!! I wish I can give a 100 stars. The best customer service. All the staff here is so friendly and made me feel right at home. Emily did an amazing job, I broke a nail and it was in horrible condition she spent a lot of time taking care of them and shaping them. They look amazing and feel great.

    Excellent service! And incredibly friendly staff. Very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend. Ate down every single design

    Basic Manicure
    Vy P.

    I very rarely get my nails done (I prefer to do basic manicures at home) but my friend wanted some company so I tagged along. PARKING & LOCATION // Unexpectedly, there is street parking on or near 45th. I recommend giving yourself an extra 5-10 minutes or so to find parking and walk. I personally walked to this location since I was already nearby but I actually walked past it first. Pay attention to the signs or you might miss it! SERVICE // My friend and I made appointments through their website the night before. Since they have more than one nail technician, you can do them both at the same time. I decided to get a basic manicure ($20) and the website said it would take about 30 minutes. It ended up being more around 15-20 minutes. They removed my polish, fixed my cuticles, buffed/shaped my nails, and painted them. They had me dry my nails with their fans but it was a little awkward because they just got up and went to another customer when they finished paining my nails but never told me when my nail drying time was officially over. OVERALL // 4 stars It was a very quick service experience. I didn't really feel like it ended in a clear manner but I don't have complaints. I recommend!

    Dip - full set
    Trinity L.

    First Time getting dip! Was fast and a cool process to watch. Overall good experience:) I will be back!

    This place is so goated they stayed open late to do my sister and I nails. They are so sweet and talkative. It's a small space but they make it homey as well as it's family owned!!

    Gel nails with a chrome finish
    Tali S.

    I'm really impressed by the customer service and quality of work! Finally came here recently after my friend had recommended them. I got gel nails with a chrome finish. The nail technician was really communicative and warned me against using the chrome finish with my short and somewhat weak nails - she said there have been some cases where it breaks off in less than a week for people with similar nails as me. I really appreciated how honest she was, and that she answered all of my questions as I decided whether to go another route. She could've just done my nails without warning, but she clearly wanted to make sure I made an educated decision. Great customer service. Bonus points, the chrome actually stayed on for two weeks, and counting! I'm really pleased with how sturdy these turned out.

    French Manicure with flower design on the ring finger
    Rachel L.

    Booked my appointment online, parallel parked on the street, and was seen pretty quickly. Because I asked for a more intricate French manicure it took a little longer than an hour, but I expected that. The woman who saw me was meticulous about my nails shape and cleaning up my cuticles, I appreciated it! Thought that all the employees were friendly and worked quickly! The customers mostly seemed a younger crowd. It was my first time and I'll probably come again!

    Mermaid chrome manicure. They did an awesome job on both my nails and my toes and were very nice. Would definitely go there again.

    Great experience. Very clean. Perfect job on my toes and nails. I happen to like my nails very short but I got the mermaid chrome nail polish, which is so fun. Would definitely come back here.

    Berry red gel manicure
    Misty S.

    I had a wonderful experience here! I got my first ever gel manicure at a different place a week prior to coming to Excellent nails. It was not a good experience and my nails looked wrecked. The gel polish was uneven and had started to lift. I was hesitant to try gel again but I'm so glad I did. The guy who did my nails (I unfortunately didn't catch his name but he's a younger Asian man, I think maybe his name was Thao or Howe?) was outstanding! Very nice to chat with and he did excellent work. I have terrible cuticles that grow like crazy and he handled them like a pro. No discomfort or bleeding at all. My gel manicure is beautiful and perfect! I'm so pleased with the service and my nails!

    Massaging pedicure chairs
    Chris A.

    Excellent Nails is JUST THAT. Excellent! Their prices are on point, and they offer extras in their basic pedicure which are included (hot stone massage) without an inflated price, like so many other nail shops in Seattle. The customer service is stellar, and V made sure to check the water temp, and care for our needs while we were in the shop. This was our first time in, as we are new to the neighborhood, but we will definitely be returning customers. Thanks guys!

    Dip by Jenny
    Alla K.

    I absolutely love this place!! I've recommended so many of my friends here, even though most of us live on the Eastside - worth the trip 100%! Jenny always does such an amazing job, her attention to detail and care is super appreciated. My usual is dip with occasional added tip. I'd advise coming here on a weekday or making an appointment for a weekend stop - it's usually very busy over the weekend. Also, they're closed on Tuesdays as of a few weeks ago so plan accordingly. You will not be disappointed here, everyone does a fabulous job!

    So to start off I called 2 days before to ask if they did either any type of gel on my natural…read morenails because I grew out my natural nails purposely becuae I didn't want to get acrylics. I also asked if they did Gel X. When I came in yesterday right off the bat my red flag was that they said they don't do gel x I'm not sure why that was a lie, after I was told they did. so I just chose to do gel since they said they could do that and I sat on the chair mind you they were rushing me. When I showed them a photo of what I wanted done they said okay and yhen cut my natural nails and when I told them that's not what I wanted they got bothered as well as they did some type of dip powder no color and not at all like the picture and since I pointed out it's not heat I wanted they then got upset again. There was 3 different girls working on my hands and toes so the shape also was not at all what I wanted. Very different on both hands. They then had to add a top to my nails since the lady cut them. Then when I requested square multiple times they kept rounding them and again I'd say something and they were upset. i was the last person to leave because they had to redo my whole nails I told them before they finished but they kept saying they knew what they were doing. And again the second time around bot at all what I asked for they definitely look like gum and thicker than my natural nails I have pretty petite and slim nail beds so the fact that they made them look wider it saddens me. Aside from that the did cut me multiple times and kept ignoring me I'm still bleeding from two spots. So anyways im never coming here again thanks.
