I've been getting my nails done for 30+ years and this place was awful. I just moved to West Seattle and went off yelp reviews to find a salon near my new home. Obviously the people leaving the glowing reviews have never lived anywhere else or had their nails done properly. I had the girl from the other reviews that doesn't speak nor listen to what you ask for. I don't even know what shape my nails are but they aren't almond and don't even ask for skinny French tips because she has no idea what that is and just paints your whole nail one color. And the pedicure is just pathetic. I wish I could give a negative star review. read more

Went there on a whim as my nails needed some loving, and they were absolutely fantastic. Lovely environment, sweet and attentive. Also very quick! Highly recommend going to them, they know their stuff read more

In and out, great price, and no shade. Loved it and she perfectly repaired a split nail!

Everything was perfect! I am very particular to who does my nails and I highly recommend getting your nails done here! Hurry go!

UPDATE! They've remodeled and it's beautiful!!!! Still the best place around! Jennifer is the best! They do a great job and are incredibly accommodating on scheduling. read more

I love these ladies. They always take such good care of me, and I leave feeling pampered and my nails looking great. I'd say I'm pretty picky, and everyone here is very attentive to detail and their work is thorough. The salon is clean, they take their time, and everyone is kind. I'd highly recommended this place. read more

Excellent and efficient! Acrylic tips and dip for the first time in a year. Will definitely be back!

The first time I came here, I received an excellent manicure from someone I believe was the owner of the shop. However, my last visit was less than positive, mainly because although I was very clear NOT to cut in/down, another young worker whom I had not seen before did just that, and now both big toes are painfully ingrown on both sides. This occurred after clear direction and even cutting all my toenails myself prior to the service to avoid this. Ouch. On closer inspection, I also noted the polish is coming off a bit after a week on my toes which in unusual. My manicure polish chipped in a day. I can usually get 3-4. I do not know if it was a language barrier or a new worker, but I was disappointed (and in a bit of pain right now). I guess I will have to stick with my Tacoma place for best results. If you do decide to come, I like the owner person...she is very personable, and her manicure would rate 5 stars. She is a bit more mature and wears glasses. read more

It's a small place, just the two ladies, but they pay amazing attention to provide you with great nails. Buddy the pug is a wonderful addition while you are getting your nails done. Jennifer always makes sure you get the shape you want, and the price is very reasonable for the quality that you get! One of the few local places in Seattle that does dip and she has an amazing assortment of dip and gel colors. Make sure you call to make an appointment as they are sometimes busy being just the 2 of them! read more

Lyly Nails - Great almond dip on natural nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was absolutely, without a doubt, the worst nail salon I have ever been to. EVER. And I have been to a lot of them. I had some free time on a Sunday and wanted to get a gel manicure, so after searching on yelp, I chose one with lots of positive reviews. After going there though, I am SHOCKED it has any positive reviews. Initially I had high hopes due to the yelp reviews, and they did get me in for a gel manicure right away. However when I arrived, things went downhill, and went downhill quickly. SERVICE: The girl who did my nails was young, and seemed annoyed that I was taking time to pick a color. This wasn't a huge deal, because I expected a quality service, but her impatient attitude definitely set the tone for things. She clearly didn't want to be there. CLEANLINESS: Red flag one, which was clearly visible when I walked in, was the cleanliness. Everything seemed very dirty, and used. I saw no indicators of cleaning tools between clients, and as I got further into the manicure, I started to see more signs that things were not clean, or sterile. MANICURE: As soon as the nail tech brought out the color I chose, I instantly had reservations. The polish was so clumpy that she couldn't even use the brush. The tech next to her gave her a new brush, and I assumed, as a supposed expert at nails, she would know if a polish was unusable. She clearly didn't and proceeded to use the polish on my nails. Her work quality was TERRIBLE. When she was "finished" with the manicure, one of my nails had a smudge so large on it that it looked like someone had forcibly put their finger on my nail with full force and tried to rub half of it off. Another nail was so poorly done, and the polish was so far away from the cuticle, that it looked like the manicure was about 3 weeks grown out. I asked her to redo both of the nails that had issues, and was shocked she thought was was appropriate quality work. When I went to my car, and looked at her "redone" work, it was nearly as bad as the first round. I went back inside and asked for one of my nails to be redone, as it was super thick, uneven, and looked like a giant polish bubble on my nail. They said they didn't have time to do it then and asked me to come back later. When I went back later, another woman did the SECOND round of redoing two of my nails (one of which had gotten bubbles in the polish at this point). She used a grinder to remove the polish, so these two nails had now been efiled TWICE, and my natural nail was so thin it hurt to touch it. She then informed me that the previous tech had thrown away the polish used on my nails because it was too thick. She then looked for a similar color, and from what I could tell (not entirely certain but this is what appeared to happen from my view at the nail counter), she couldn't find one, and then grabbed the SAME polish out of the trash to use on my nails again. The "fixed" nails still looked mediocre at best, but at this point I just wanted to get out of there. This salon was disgusting, and the quality of the manicure was HORRENDOUS. In retrospect, it's shocking to me that this salon is in business, and I can't believe a place in this condition passes any health codes. Will not be returning, not even if this were the last nail salon on the planet. read more

Such beautiful nails! Salon felt very clean. I haven't had my nails done in years, it was very straight forward with reasonable prices! Very straight forward, I was able to get exactly what I wanted. read more

I have been going to Jennifer for over two years now consistently every 3 weeks to a month based on the recommendation of a friend of mine. I had been going to another nail salon in West Seattle, but hadn't found my nail home if you will. Jennifer is amazing at the work she does and I have even brought my mom there - my mom still talks about her and the amazing manicure she received. The salon is clean, I am very well taken care of and NEVER think the tools are unclean. Well today was no different and I have beautiful fall nails for Halloween this week. read more

Thank you to Jennifer for my amazing dipping powder nails! She took her time and did an excellent job, was accommodating with me changing around my appointment time, and is super friendly. Most importantly, I love my nails! Not the cheapest ($40 here and I've gotten dipping powder for $35 elsewhere), but worth it. I'll definitely be back for as long as they continue the excellent service. read more

Lyly Nails - Dipping powder nails - excellent job by Jennifer! $40 - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had been waiting to get a mani pedi, and finally went in on back to back days to pamper myself. The mani was okay, though left with a couple nails already looking like they had growth gap. The pedi was such a minimal effort. My nails were not even trimmed up, leaving me having to cut/file myself the next day. In addition, in cuticle was literally torn off as a trimming method. And the nail end were not painted, leaving an unfinished look. Sad, as my friends had been recommending this salon. read more

I have been going to this place for over seven years, and to this day I have never seen anyone do a better job than Jennifer. She is very careful and very neat and can do pretty much any nail art that you want. And she will always remember you! When I've gone away for college and changed my hair color she still remembered me when I came back! Jennifer also has the cutest dog, he's a pug named Buddy, and sometimes if you're lucky he will be in the salon and he'll sit next to your feet. her prices are also very fair, She has rarely raised them since I have been a client with her and she does an exceptional job. If I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

Great dip nails and great customer service! I got a pale yellow dip on my short and stubby nails. The final product has an amazing color, durability, and shape. I now have BEAUTIFUL, short, and stubby nails! Not to mention, the wonderful women running the place there were very polite and personable. read more

First salon I went to since I moved to the area. It was okay... I think I paid $70 for a gel mani and pedi. I asked if they do callus removal because that's what I always do with my home salon and she said yes. All she did was scrub my feet w a brush... that's it. I probably won't return. read more

What a lovely place! So happy with my gel manicure! So many colors to choose from and they're open until 7:30pm!! I'll be back :) read more

Lyly Nails - Amazing gel manicure!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was my first and last time here. I was spoken to twice, when I entered and when I left. I went in for a mani-pedi with gel on my hands. The pedicure was just ok. No flip flops were give for me to walk across the room to get my nails done and so I sat there with my bare feet on the floor the whole time I got my manicure. There was no foot heater to dry my pedicure. After that I reduced my gel to a regular manicure. After 2 very light coats and the white edges showing, I was done! There are too many other places who do good work. read more

I went on my lunch hour and it was a great experience. The owner is very nice and personable, she does not change the prices on you. I wanted zebra stripes and they came out better then I expected. I tried another nail shop down the street and it was terrible, the employee's ddi not seem happy. read more

Super detailed!!! I came in with wrecked toes and grubby feet after having walked in sandals all day! I was a walk in and they happily took me. Did an EXCELLENT job and couldn't be more happy! This was also a happy surprise because my normal nail place is no longer in business so I tried Ly Lys and yup- wonderful!! read more

Hands down the very best nail salon I've ever been to, especially for dip manicures. If you're a dip veteran you know that it can often come out too thick or uneven on top, but Jennifer does a perfect set every single time. I know that COVID has impacted them a lot and I selfishly hope every West Seattle resident (and Seattle resident for that matter) gives them a shot so they're around forever :) I'll never go to another nail spot in Seattle as long as they're around. Not only are the dip (SNS) manis a thing of beauty, they last literally forever! They only ever need redone because they've grown out. They were always super clean but I still feel comfortable coming here during COVID because of the extra effort they've put in; everyone is asked to wash hands on entry, plastic 'walls' keep you and the tech from breathing on each other, and they keep the number of customers low so there's extra space between you. Thank you Lyly. You seriously upped my nail game and I can't say enough good things! read more

Love my mani!! I don't get my nails done that often since it's rare that I find someone who is able to give me the look I'm going for but I couldn't be more pleased with how this turned out. Very sweet gal who worked on me though I didn't get her name. Hope to see her again! Thank you Lyly!! read more

I have been going to LyLy Nails for over 12 years and I always get compliments on my nails. Jennifer has designed my nails for all occasions (New Year's, Valentine July 4th, Mariners, Seahawks Christmas, etc.) and they are always spectacular. SERVICE: I go every 3 weeks for my nails and pedicure. My nails have always been perfect, Jennifer and Mia are the best. They both care and pay attention to details. We have great conversations and really good laughs. CLEANLINESS: I read one Yelp review that gave LyLy Nails a bad review on cleanliness and I wondered if they were talking about the same salon. In 12 years Jennifer has always had the salon clean, even on their busiest days and all tools are sterilized immediately. Also, my husband, daughter and sister are also customers. read more

I've been seeing LyLy to get my nails done every two weeks (close) since Mother's Day. She's lovely and so is her charming salon. I began with the shortest nails and a biting habit. She gave me tips and the most beautiful French dips ever; I got compliments everywhere. As my bails grew tip we not used, only dip... she humored next every time I opted for the French style. :) I continued for months, occotionally thinking I could crack off the dip and not bite them only to have to hurry back to try another application again as I worked to break my habit. In the numerous occasions, months upon months of seeing LyLy, I've never had any negative issue, and I've never seen anything even remotely questionable in their sanitary habits: all is well. She and her niece are gracious, kind, friendly, clean, and we happily enjoy cooking shows together with other customers getting pedicures or nails done. I love going and highly recommend! This photo shows my own nails (yay finally!) with shellac. :) read more

This is my new go-to nail salon. It's just two women who are both very kind and there is an adorable pug who hangs out in the salon as well.

I would highly recommend this place! read more

Best dip powder manicure. I decided to leave my last nail shop because they botched my dip powder nails. I found LyLy on yelp and decided to give her a try and i didn't regret it. My nails have lasted for 3 weeks now and haven't chipped. She was quick yet detail oriented with it. Love that it's a small shop with only 2 staff - less stressful and they focus on you. I highly recommend. Buddy the pug is super cute too :) read more
