They always do an amazing job here, even when it's busy they get you in quickly!! My go to place in Whatcom county.

After moving to WA from CA, I had no idea where to start looking for a solid nail tech. Where I came from, the competition was tight with a nail shop literally on every corner, which meant prices were excellent, customer service was big, and they had to have at least one Superstar at every shop. With there being very limited supply of shops in WA (comparatively), it was a bit of a shock to see such outrageous pricing, horrible customer service, and minimal talent. After a few months I found modern nails and I was very happy with their service but it was a 30-minute drive for me, so I did what I thought was best and tried out a few other salons closer to me, in hopes of finding my Trifecta (talent, price, and customer service). Alas, it went horribly wrong throughout Ferndale and Bellingham, so I went crawling back to see Hannah at Modern Nails. I am kicking myself in the butt for not sticking to a tried and true technician. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hannah Is not only super sweet, but ultra talented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And I have paid much more for much less out here in the area. Moving forward it is a no-brainer, I will keep coming back! I highly recommend this shop, and Hannah specifically for acrylics, I cannot say enough about her meticulousness and eye for detail. Also, they offer these amazing complimentary beverages that are to die for, so don't be shy about asking. It's non-alcoholic, but that doesn't mean they're not fire or craft! Some of these other places I've been to offer a "mimosa" and it's literally Sunny D with flat champagne (yuck), At Modern Nails they are serving up virgin cocktails in styyyyle and fancy coffee beverages. With their talent and customer service, it's just a wonderful experience. read more

Went in for a mani pedi, with appt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was scolded loudly when i requested not to have them at same time with my body twisted[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Felt incredibly rushed. When I said the color did not match and showed her she said that was for Gel, which I was not getting. One of many bad experiences there. The last. read more

They ladies did a great job, but the wait time even if you have an appointment is ridiculous. I had an appointment at 3:30pm But didn't get to be seated until 4:30 and the lady I had an appointment with was with another client... like if you're booked and busy. Say that... [[HIGHLIGHT]]I trust one person to do my nails and when I get sent to 4 different random ladies it's not okay for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up going back to my original nail tech in lynnwood. I would rather drive the 1hr & a half to be seen at my appointment time rather than sit and wait for my appointment. you he great service, But the wait time is ridiculous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you have waited too long, they will send you to another nail tech who is available[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They really take their time with you and pay attention to detail. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lily was so good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The place is very clean and really appreciated that their tools were sanitized and sealed. read more

I went there to get my nails and toes done before being a guest at a wedding. The pedicure was so relaxing and my legs felt so moisturized afterwards. The toes are also nicely painted and shaped. As for the manicure, it was exactly what I wanted. I was more impressed by the fact that my nail beds weren't sore the next day, a thing that I thought was normal. Now I know that means all the other nail places over filed my nail beds. But not this one! Highly recommend this place. Will be going again for sure. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to Modern Nails multiple times this year and love it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great space and Kim always does an excellent job! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]No stars! Terrible place. They get business only because they are in a small town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Way overpriced.. every time we come my daughter at least breaks a as she goes into the third or fourth day. One time they cut her fingers very badly. They at least gave us somewhat of a discount. We come back every now and then for nails to get done because we have a trip or something, but now after this latest incident, we will never be coming back here. And [[HIGHLIGHT]]the manager woman is not very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] only gave one star because it made me. read more

Finally found a place since my move north that can do nails with any design you can find. Bonus is they can do it with powder and do ombré as well!!! No more hour and 45 minute drives to Everett! Thank you Modern Nails!!!! read more

$18 to get my toes painted and trimmed with clippers. Took her 10 minutes. Yikes. Too expensive for me.

This salon does do nice manicures and pedicures although the upselling is out of control. There are many salons in Lynden that are much more competitively priced. When I questioned the necessity of quick dry polish and the additional cost he became very aggressive. I will avoid dealing with him in the future. read more

I have been coming here for two years straight since the new owners purchased the salon. Lynn always does my nails so beautifully..Her and her husband are wonderful people. You can't go wrong with anybody who works there. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Good Prices and great work, and AMAZING staff! I will always choose modern nails over other nail salons.

I had a basic pedicure and they were very efficient. It took maybe 40 min. We were glad to find it wasn't busy, but we went midday on a weekday in autumn (!) so maybe that's par for the course. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the job, but my nail tech didn't file the top edges of my big toes after clipping them, so they look a little rough. Also she didn't really file off a rough spot near my cuticle there. So they're not especially concerned with details here. Perhaps next time I should check the progress halfway through to check for smoothness. Happily the polish job is great! No bubbles or smudges, perfectly applied! read more

This place has new management/ownership and is absolutely nothing like the old Modern Nails. The salon is beautiful and brand new. Very upscale, and classy. Lynn did my nails and she was so nice, professional and my nails look amazing. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable. Really great experience. I cannot recommend enough. Will definitely be back read more

Honestly the worst pedicure I've ever had... and I feel like I'm fairly gracious with my pedicure expectations and communicative about what I'm looking for. Way too expensive for a really terrible result. I got French tip, and the lines are so uneven and smudged. I honestly could have done a better job at home, but instead paid $35. Don't waste your money! read more

This place has the best deals for nails at a quality that is better than competitors. I have gone to a few other places and have had consistently good work done with gel shellac nails. This place doesn't grind your nail down to apply the gel shellac so remember that when searching for nail salons! read more

Just moved to Lynden and was happy to find that this brand new salon opened a couple weeks ago. Great customer service. Prices are a bit high, but considering there aren't many options in this small town, I guess it's worth it. Very clean. More than likely will be returning. read more

I came on a Wednesday at 10:30am and I didn't have to wait. Got both a shellac mani and normal pedi with white tips for both. My finger nails were pretty short to begin with but they did a good job with what they had to work with. They opened a new bag of materials for both the mani and pedi (new clippers, cuticle trimmers, etc.) but the foot scrubber for the pedi looked pretty used. During the pedi she kept asking of I wanted and extra design on my big toe after I had already said no multiple times, which was kind of annoying. She rushed through the pedi and they ended up not looking to hot, but the shellac mani was very well done. Prices are average ($35 for the shellac mani and $30 for the pedi). At the very end she asked "can i have the money now?" which was kind of a turn off. Overall satisfied, would consider coming back in the future. read more

Unfortunately when I was looking for a place to get my nails done I asked for a certain shape and the final piece was nothing what I asked for and when I mentioned it they got upset and started talking foreign language of me because they would look at me and said they had to remove them and they were pulling my nails off hurt so much when I would say it hurt he was rude and was helping 4 other people at the same time I was there for 2 hrs already ,I actually ended up leaving because I felt like my nails were being ripped off, left the place with half my nails done! Horrible experience! Don't go here! read more

I did not like Modern Nails. They weren't accommodating, the dipped nails started coming off by day 4/5 where at other places they last well into week 3. The color options for dip were also incredible to limited and most of the colors they did have where too similar. read more

Went in for a fill, very unhappy. Can see my fill line on almost all my nails. Prices were raised and for what I got it just isn't worth it. Posted a picture under business photos to show the lines. read more

They're "ok". When they first opened, I was a loyal customer, but once they got busier, the quality was definitely lacking. I gave it some time, but eventually had to go elsewhere. read more

I had a wonderful experience here! The owners are friendly, very professional, and meticulous. I had a basic pedicure and needed to leave quickly and messed up the polish job putting my shoes on. Michael, the owner, asked me to come back and get it fixed when I had time for no extra charge. I came back the next day and he went above and beyond to fix it and make sure each toenail looked perfect. I also got my eyebrows waxed and they look great and it was very painless. Great experience!! I will be back. read more

Michael is a great person and always is very consistent. They have great prices, awesome color selection, and every time treat me the way I want to be treated. I recommend my friends and family all the time. They are also very quick and efficient and never keep me waiting. read more

It's okay if you don't have time to go anywhere else. The first time I was there it was fine. Then as time moved on they were in a big hurry and I got a slap dash job. Plus charging $2 to pay with a debit card? That is insane. I won't be back. read more

I had a very positive experience. Made appointment the day before for a waxing on upper lip and chin. When I arrived a nice young lady was waiting for me. It took about 10 minutes to complete the waxing. Excellent customer service. I definitely will be back. read more

The first time I went to this place, they started the process of removing my shellac (put the nail polish remover and clips on) and continued working on the other 2 people that were with me. About an hour passed and new people were coming in and being served but no one was making progress with my nails. I tried to be patient, but after one person in my party finished their pedicure and then the second finished their manicure, I was pretty frustrated. There was no way they could miss the colorful clips they put on my fingers to wear off the initial shellac I had on - unbelievably, an hour in and they still hadn't actually started my manicure. Then, after an hour and a half I made it clear that I didn't want anything more done and just to have this shellac removed once and for all. Right away they offered to work on me quickly and could get it done in 15 minutes tops - why would I want a sloppy job done when I just waited an hour and a half to be acknowledged in general? And they still charged me $10 for shellac removal, show some customer service for making me wait a considerable amount of time for basically having nothing done. The second time I went in with some friends to give them a second chance. This time I was the last to be served in our party again and they cut me pretty deep during my pedicure. I squirmed from the pain but had to say "ow, owww" before the lady actually stopped. I wasn't expecting it to be as deep as it was until she was about to put the lotion on and it was gushing, so she threw a towel on it so I wouldn't say anything. There were a few more things throughout the visit that were just one nail after another in the coffin - needless to say, they aren't getting a third chance from me. read more

I went in to see if that had time for a basic-toes polish change. And they did. For Friday before labor day weekend I was very happy. She also did a great job! read more

Best pedicure in town. Great prices and always a great gel manicures, which usually looks perfect for 3 weeks. Only down side is they aren't open on Sunday's (my day I usually have off)... Although maybe a good thing since I would go more often and blow my budget ;) read more

My friend and I went in for pedicures and she was going to get a manicure. They started and finished her before even starting mine so they sent her over to have her toes dry. The lady doing my toes was so rough and dug the tools so far into my toes that they hurt for days after. They cut our nails way too short and on top of it all they never took her to start her nails. Another group got taken back to get their nails done so she decided to just forget about it. As we were paying the lady stood there and watched us sign our receipts seemingly making sure we were going to tip. I will not be going there again! read more

Me and my mom went to get pedicures for graduation. It was probably one of the quickest pedicures I've had. They didn't take any of the dead skin off of my feet, they literally just rub lotion into my legs and painted my toes. It was one of the worst experiences I have had getting a pedicure. They were in such a rush they didn't even let the paint dry before putting on my top coat and they drug the paint from the flower off over my toe. My mom got a French tip and they didn't even take off all of the paint she had on when she came in. I will not be going back to this place read more

They were in a huge rush and I felt like the woman doing my nails totally rushed through them not caring for quality at all. She left a gap between the gel polish and my cuticle on half of my nails, which in my opinion is a sign of a poor manicure. It looks like I got this polish done 2 weeks ago when really it was just 2 days ago. I don't know how the manicurist would think that's appropriate... I do not recommend this place. read more
