barbicide

I visited here to get a full acrylic set on Sunday. The nail design did turn out cute, but my experience was not sanitary. First, the nail tech cut my fingers TWICE with the drill (see pictures) and did not stop or change the file tip to ask if I was okay. Then, I noticed that the barbicide was an opaque color of dark green or brown with floating debris at the bottom (see picture). As a cosmetologist I know that that color just isn't correct for a cleaning product like that. It should be a clear blue. It took two hours for her to finish this set and while there was design, it wasn't complex. I won't be visiting here again and I hope you don't either.

The heart is meh. It's upside and twice as big as the one I requested.

Just don't. I came here for a nail emergency on a Sunday and Kevin was the one who helped me. I was excited because of the hype but I left very upset. When he removed my old set, I asked for a soak off, which he proceeded to do, but then took an acrylic tip and flicked them off my nails. It hurt, and when he got to my thumbnail, it hurt so bad I jerked away, then he proceeded to take a cuticle clippers, and break off a chunk of acrylic. Still attached to my thumb! What was the point of paying for a soak off if they still remove you acrylics the worst way possible? My thumb is still sore over a week later. I asked for a dip nails and he told me that my nail shape wasn't good enough for one? Even though I see plenty of people with short nails do them. So I asked for an acrylic OVERLY, and he cut all my nails off. HE CUT ALL MY NAILS OFF!!! I feel like if any place knows how important nails are it should be a nail salon but what do I know. I guess it is ok to hurt your customer multiple times too. The design is meh. The person before inspired me to get the little heart for Valentine's Day, but mine is twice as big as the one she got for some reason... and not facing the same way. I debated on making this review, but I ended up doing it because I'm still very upset about the whole situation. I can't wait to go to my normal lady and have her fix this mess.

Kim does a great job of powder dip nails, and all pedicures. She does a great job of massaging your feet and legs in a pedicure.

Cindi's dip
Carrie P.

I've been coming here almost a year, Kevin is amazing at acrylics and Cindi is amazing at dip. Kevin's work is my Christmas wishes, and this is my most recent dip with Cindi :) my recent dip as of 6/4/22 -is on natural nails :) my only complaint is it seems much faster for service as a walk in- for 7 months I have made appointments and the wait is at least 30 mins on average- and they never remember you so make sure you say you have an appointment and with who.

What I asked for.....
Karra L.

Let me just start by saying, I should probably just get my nails done at home when I'm going out of town. If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I came from out of town and was looking for somewhere to get my nails done. I checked Yelp and this place had 3.5 stars and is close to where I'm staying so I thought I'd give them a chance. They asked what I wanted for my gel manicure and I showed them a picture from Pinterest that I thought was simple enough to do and asked if they'd be able to do it. The lady who did my pedicure said "Yea, we can do it. Easy!" I go to the lady who was supposed to do my manicure and she she asked to see the picture. I showed her and she said she could do it and started to do my nails. Because she's the nail technician I was letting her do her job. For the pinky nail she said white should go under the gold glitter so I went along with it. She then tried to create the arrow look on the ring finger and it was lopsided, thin and patchy so I just told her I didn't need that part and we can do just the glitter pinky. She then stated "why it looks nice?" And I again told her no thank you. The glitter on the pinky fingers was even more sparse than it shows in the picture so I asked if she could add more glitter like the picture I showed and the pictures below were the end result. Not only was it not an "easy" design like they said it would be, but even the plain painted nails are messed up. The actual nails aren't fully painted but my fingers still are even after she spent a long time "cleaning" it up. I've never been one to complain and want things for free so I still paid for the services but thought I'd leave this review for people who might be thinking about giving this place a try. Also, as I was waiting for my sister to finish getting her nails done (she wasn't happy with hers either), another customer complained to an employee about someone who didn't wear a mask while she getting a pedicure. To my knowledge WA has mandated masks while indoors. The only thing the employee did was apologize to the customer for that and tell her that he was too busy to even notice (it wasn't that busy in the salon). The customer then advised him this is the 3rd time this has happened while she's been there and they never said anything. To each their own for the masks IMO, but if you have signs posted on the door about wearing one I feel like you should enforce the rule so other customers feel safe coming to your establishment.

Fast, friendly and reasonably priced. I didn't have an appointment and was able to get right in. I had a gel fill. I'm just visiting my daughter but will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Sloppy....
Whitney P.

Every time I go here it's always something... last time I had an appointment and waited over an hour in the pedicure chair before anybody helped me. This time I went when they opened so that there wouldn't be a wait time and my pedicure looks good but my fingernails look super sloppy. If you're paying $30 for someone to paint your fingernails plus tip they should at least try to keep the paint on your nails and cover your entire nail. Super disappointed.

The acrylic is so thick on the sides and has flat spots in others... no detail or art form was put into them.... $40
Elizabeth M.

I went in and was only the 3rd lady there. There were 5 nail tech's and I figured it would be nice and slow and she would take her time.... no... she rushed and made the acrylic lumpy and thick in some spots and too thin in others. She also got it all over the sides of my nail and had to jam tools to file it off.... ‍ toes aren't a better story but I don't like looking at my nails...

All different shapes!?
Vira L.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Took 2 hours to do a full set. Ridiculous!!! All different shapes, nail polish all over skin and there is barely any acrylic. It feels like it's just the nail tip. This set cost $60!? Outrageous. I would never recommend this place to anyone in Bonney Lake.

My favorite nail salon in the area! They definitely get busy so be prepared to wait if you don't make an appointment but there is a reason it gets busy.. they are the best!

Jazeleene B.

though it is in a janky strip mall and it is a smaller, older nail salon (they've been there for 17 years according to one of the techs) i received excellent service for a great price!! they do need to redecorate a bit but whatever. i got a gel mani and regular pedi for $50. i did not make an appointment and just walked in on a monday evening with my grandma and we got seated right away. will definitely be coming here again.

Ann used a very course file to file my nails down then didn't follow up with a finer file so my nails felt rough. While doing my cuticles she cut me and neglected to use cuticle oil on them. While painting my nails she tried to upsell me on getting my eyebrows done by her and I declined. That didn't stop her, she was persistent by telling me how good she was at eyebrows and how my eyebrows had no shape to them. I politely declined again. After that exchange, Ann opened up her phone to text another client while she was working on me. After the painting was done, no offer of a nail dryer was ever made. She took off to her next client and I sat with my daughter during the rest of her pedicure waving my hands to dry them. I decided to say something to the nice lady at the checkout, who heard me out and agreed that the service I had gotten was subpar, so she had another nail tech try to file my nails better and apply cuticle oil. My nails today, each fingernail is chipping. They look terrible and I will have to remove the polish. It hasn't even been 72 hours since my manicure. The only reason I gave 2 stars is the place is clean and they did try to salvage the poor work done by Ann. If you go here, make sure you get Quinn. She was very nice and helpful and did a nice job trying to fix a bad manicure.

The prices are generally affordable compared to other places, and I loved the wide selection of colors available. That's honestly what kept me coming back and how close it is to me. However, I've noticed a recurring issue that I can't overlook anymore. Several times, when I've asked for very small changes like shortening a nail, making a shape more even, or pointing out bubbles in the polish the responses from the nail tech have felt cold and irritated. It doesn't feel great to be made to feel like a bother when you're just politely asking for a service you're paying for to be done nicely and properly. In addition, depending on the nail tech your manicure/ pedicure longevity will change. Nail techs are typically on a call during your service disregarding that you are sitting in front of them. The overall quality is very mediocre. Example, if you get tip expect your hair to get caught between the tip and nail polish ( if you know - you know ) What really pushed me to write this review was my most recent experience. I specifically asked multiple times if a certain service would cost extra, and the nail tech reassured me that it would not. However, as soon as the nail tech finished the step ( that in fact did have an additional cost) , she told me it was going to cost more. Literally as soon as she finished gluing the tip. The nail tech immediately advised me it was an additional cost. I found that strange, because she told me immediately after she finished glue and drying the tip. Not during check out - but immediately after gluing the tip. It felt sneaky and dishonest, especially because I had asked ahead of time several times if it would cost more. It's not about the amount AT ALL it's about the principle. It's not a language barrier.. Unfortunately, because of this, the overall discomfort with how feedback is received and the very mediocre service, I will not be returning. I hope this review is taken as constructive and encourages the salon to be honest and more open to small customer requests. I really wanted to keep coming here, but transparency and respect matter just as much as a good price. I would not recommend this business.

I went with my friend and neighbor for a girls' day, and we genuinely enjoyed spending time there. We laughed a lot and had a great experience with everyone we interacted with. Unfortunately, the quality of the nail services didn't match the excellent customer service. We both had gel polish applied to our fingernails and regular polish on our toenails. We had our appointments on Thursday, and by Sunday--just four days later--the gel polish was already peeling. Most of my fingernails have already lost their polish. The pedicures were also disappointing. I chose white for my pedicure and it also was not done well. The polish didn't extend to the cuticles and my nail technician only applied one coat, making it look like I need another pedicure 4 days later. We were both very disappointed with the quality of the work, especially given the price. While the staff was fantastic, the services simply weren't worth the cost, and unfortunately, we won't be returning.
