I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. I made an appointment for myself and my two sons to get pedicures before our vacation. We were seated right away, but my sons ended up sitting in their chairs for quite a while before anyone started on them. During my pedicure, I asked three separate times for my ingrown toenails to be taken care of, but they were never addressed. One of my big toenails was broken, so I requested a simple overlay on both big toes so they would match. The technician refused to do the second toe, laughed at me when I asked why, and still never did it. Unfortunately, things only got worse when I moved on to my nails. I specifically asked for a dip manicure. The technician attempted one finger, then scraped it all off because he was applying the dip like regular acrylic and clearly didn't know the proper process. Instead of correcting it, he told me he would "just do acrylic." I explained that I wanted dip and said that they had the exact color of polish available that I had chosen in dip powder, but he refused. After going back and forth, I finally gave up and agreed to acrylic. Then, to make matters even more confusing, he told me to pick a different color. When I asked why I couldn't use the color I had originally selected, he ignored my question, tossed the color samples at me, and acted annoyed. From the beginning of the appointment, it felt like he was upset with me for simply asking for the services I had requested. The final result was terrible. My nails are thick and chunky, the polish is uneven and splotchy, there are bumps throughout, and several nails are crooked. The quality is far below what I would expect from a professional salon. Between the poor customer service, the refusal to perform requested services, and the low-quality workmanship, I left extremely disappointed. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience. read more

Genuinely probably one of the best nail salons in the arlington/marysville area. I came in at 6:30 and asked if they had time to squeeze me in for a pedicure and they said of course. I felt super bad because I made them stay 30 mins past closing but they were still super nice, and understanding and held a conversation with no attitude which honestly would've been understandable. On top of that my pedi came out so cute. 100% would recommend :))) read more

was supposed to simply get a soak off and manicure, horrible service. i left in the middle of the soak off. it's like the man had an issue with doing my nails, weather it's because i'm black or he was just having a bad day, doesn't matter. he had an attitude anytime i told him the drill was too hot or when i said i wanted to keep them long, everything was an inconvenience i guess. ive never walked out in a service like that before but im glad i did because that was not worth the frustration i went through. no customer service skills at all. the man that rang me up was very apologetic which i appreciate but still doesn't fix/change anything. thank you for wasting my time. god bless read more

Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Clean and comfortable, chairs and tables / decor. Price was reasonable. They have beverage service but were inconsistent in offering customers a beverage. I guess I could have spoken up and asked but luckily wasn't thirsty lol. Otherwise - enjoyed the experience - will go back again if in the area. read more

I stopped in today and asked if I could get a mani/pedi. The answer was, can you wait about 15 minutes. Of course! The wait was so worth it. This will definitely be my new go-to shop! read more

Ken is one of the new owners there and he does fantastic work. He told me the first time I saw him that my nails would last three weeks, I didn't believe it. Well, third time in and each time they have lasted three weeks and probably could have waited one more. He is always on schedule, you never have to wait for him. My fingers/nails are super small and even still he makes them look fantastic. Thanks Ken, you're awesome!!! read more

Kenny and Vicky does quality work when doing a mani or pedi. They take their time with clients and don't rush.

Won't be back. Very unfriendly atmosphere. Nail tech did not welcome me or attempt a single smile. 3 out of 4 employees were coughing the whole time I was there. Poor ventilation? Or everyone has a cold? Very odd. And in comparison with other nail salons, generally unwelcoming vibe. They weren't even talking to each other, as if everyone had been in a huge fight before I walked in. Whatever the cause, part of their job is to create a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Total lack of awareness of that part of the business. read more

Great place to get a manicure or pedicure. They are very friendly, and pay attention to detail. I have tried several nail salons in the area and Hi-Tek by far is the best of those I've been to. Clean salon, great staff. They take walk ins but can be busy at times so best to call ahead and make an appointment. I'll be back! read more

kim is my absolute favorite. i always have a good conversation with her. she knows what she is doing as well. her art work is amazing. and everyone in here is so nice and all have good vibes. i asked for a full set and it was only $75 without tip and design on all fingers. not bad at all. i will continue to see kim like i have for the past 2 years!! read more

I followed Ken here after he took over ownership of the salon. He always does an amazing job on my nails, so following him was a no brainer!

Ken is the absolute best! He has been my nail tech for over a year and I have yet to have a set that isn't perfect. His new place is in a convenient area and is very clean and neat. He has great attention to detail and wants to make sure you are satisfied with every step. He always wants to try new techniques and improve his skills and never says no to any idea I have wanted to try. 100% recommend the dip nails with an acrylic tip, they last forever!! He schedules appointments that work for your schedule and always honors them. I would recommend Ken and his business partners to anyone. Keep up the great work! read more

Made an appointment for me and the bestie at 3pm for pedis. Being an very prompt person, we arrive 15 minutes early, but of course we wait patiently. He is working on a set of nails but is still about 45 minutes from finishing. 330 rolls around and we start to consider just coming another day. We say we are leaving but he rushes to tell us he can start us now. He fills the bowls for the pedis, but then things get silly. My partners filter starts spitting water all over the floor. We of course let him know but he ignores us and continues the set of nails. Then my filter and the metal propeller fall off into the water. I again tell him and he ignores us. He is the only one working so we sit in these broken tubs for over 20 minutes. It's about 350pm. He finishes up the nails, then finally notices the water mess on the floor and my sharp metal propeller. He starts to rush the pedicures. Roughly pulling out ingrown that made me bleed. No lotion, no callous remover, no foot exfoliating. He moves to my partner where he pretty much does the same terrible job. He then uses the cuticle cutter from my friend, on me. He was nice, but this was hands down the worst experience and was over charged for this half assed job. I now currently have an infected toe from this salon. read more

I would like to state that I really liked the lady who did my nails she was super sweet & stayed 30 mins past closing to do my nails on Friday 06/07/19. My real nails were in bad shape so I got a set with hopes of doing 3-4 fills and letting my real nail grow out. Tuesday morning I noticed I had major lifting on 2 of my nails. Wednesday morning had changed to half of the nails having major lifting... I type all day and have had nails done for years even on damaged nails so this makes 0 sense to me. When I got dressed for the day yesterday my middle finger nail popped right off not even 10 minutes later my ring finger nail popped off. I am about to loose two more nails today. I hate that getting nails done is so expensive yet idk if it's the product used there or what but I'm pissed that I have to go get a new set elsewhere less than a week later. read more

******Please note - this salon is under new management & ownership. I have been following the new owners, Kenny & Vicky to this new facility because they deeply care about their clients and I have never had to have a nail repair because they do such an exceptional job, that I never have to go back between appointments. And I am rough on my nails, so they pass the test with flying colors! They both take extra care to make sure you are happy with their services & I always walk away with nothing but an excellent Mani & Pedi. They are both so respectful & treat everyone with a welcoming feeling. They even engage people in the salon and I have made new friends. I have never had a better experience than I have with Kenny & Vicky. They are caring and genuine people. Please come in and experience the greatness that we all do, as well as top notch mani & Pedi services. You WON'T be disappointed! read more

Alright. Called and asked if I could come in in 10 min, at 3:30 on a Saturday for a pedicure. She said alright, ok. I'm sitting in a chair, been soaking feet for 15 min already waiting for her or the other lady to finish with someone else. There is no music just a TV playing which is annoying. Smells heavily of nail chemicals. Feel a head ache coming on. I might actually just leave, I'm not sure how much longer they'll be. And I don't have all afternoon to sit here. read more

Kim is incredibly kind and gracious which is in opposition to my previous experience at nail salons. I am a regular wax and mani-pedi customer and my brows look just as good as if I paid $$$$ at the brow bar and I always leave feeling super confident and happy. I got false nails here for a wedding (way too clumsy to maintain them) and Kim spent her time on them testing their strength and making them perfect. I do not understand the low rating this salon has, unless all the regulars are tying to protect their secret spot read more

As I watched my daughter go first, I almost changed my mind to just have a manicure as After 20+ years of disappointment, frustration of not getting what I asked for from a professional- I met Kim and Sim! BOTH my daughter's nails and mine look fabulous! Plus, anyone that knows me knows I have a thing for smells. The place had a surprisingly nice scent given the use of chemicals! I highly recommend these ladies and will be back in 2 weeks! read more

I came here Friday the day before my wedding, and I wish I never did. The lady was beyond rude to me. She hurt me, the slammed my hand in my face because she moved my hand to fast and hit the fan. As soon as others came in, they rushed through are nails. I also have a cut on my little toe from her doing my pedicure. I had high hopes for a good experience but never again read more

Such a good job looks so pretty!! Love my Christmas nails highly recommend staff are so sweet and accommodating

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!! First of all let me start off my saying I work in customer service and I always give business the benifit of the doubt, BUT not this place. First I walked in and the greeting from the ladies was ice cold, not welcoming. Then, the lady that then did my nails flung my hands around and was careless. When detailing my nails she never even pushed back my cuticles or really file them. After she was "done" I went to wash my hand, I went to use the brushes next to the sink to clean them up and the sanitizer fluid was cloudy and dirty ( did I mention I was the first customer bc I went it when they opened) . The grand finale was when I looked under my nails, they were LIFTING. So when I told the lady she said they weren't when I could clearly see they were. Then after she was dont, the nails were uneven and the polish application was horrible. In conclusion I should of read the reviews before I went and not to my suprise when I looked on yelp there were tons of negative reviews. So you've been warned. read more

The ladies are really nice here & my pedicure turned out pretty. However the room was very cold so it was hard to enjoy my service & they use the same melting pot on everyone for paraffin dips. This is not sanitary at all. Makes me question the cleanliness of everything else. read more
