    I've gone here a few times over the years and always loved their designs. This time I tried a new acrylic glue that I was told would be lighter on my nails and easy to remove with acetone and hot water. Unfortunately, removal was extremely painful even after soaking for a while it ended up ripping off parts of my real nails and skin. I've removed nails myself before and never experienced this level of pain. Just wanted to share my experience.

    It has NOT even been a week since completing this fullset visit...I've NEVER had one complaint until NOW.

    It has NOT even been a week since completing this fullset visit...I've NEVER had one complaint until NOW. I paid $110 AFTER a coupon for this visit which included a pedicure and this fullset. Now I have to find the time to go back asap to have them fix these. Such a big inconvenience SO MAD

    I always love the service here. This is the first place I've been to that I can just walk into and everyone that does nails is fantastic. They work quick with great quality. I've normally had to make appts in the past, but this is the first place I can walk in and be seen immediately or wait a very minimal amount of time. I travel for work so I've encountered this all over. My nails are always great and they don't break either. Also, they don't charge an arm and a leg, fair pricing for sure. I always recommend people this place!

    I walked in with what can only be described as a nail nightmare. The night before I had made the bad decision to do my on nails with a "beetles nail kit" . I was immediately greeted by two employees and asked what I needed. HELP lots of help. I didn't have an appt but they got me right in. The gentleman doing my nails was so nice even through it was obvious that I used enough glue to put a spaceship together. He was kind and made sure I was comfortable as he tried to pry these horrible nails off my natural nails without causing any further damage. He made sure I understood my nails were gonna be SHORT since I had made a mess of them lol He was so quick and I'm so so glad I didn't try to attempt this at home! I was in and out and left with a beautiful get manicure. I will 100% be back for a full set of longer gorgeous nails after the holidays! Again I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for your kindness!

    Got them done over a week ago, still holding strong

    Love this place. Always able to do the exact design I ask for and have extremely reasonable prices for their skills and quality. Business is always clean, professional, and beyond friendly. This is THE nail spot.

    Came in for a full set with a design and left super happy! The staff were nice and made me feel comfortable. The place stays busy--like a revolving door--but they still took their time and did a great job. Definitely coming back.

    I have tried several nail salons in Lacey, Modern Nails triumphs them all! I am a perfectionist, so I'm very picky and need my nails perfect. The retention, technique and expertise keeps me returning. The salon is always clean and the employees reflect professionalism. The prices are very affordable and I always leave happy. Best nail spot in the Olympia area, thank you for always keeping ensuring I look my best.

    I took my girls here for a day of beauty and self care. Everyone was kind to us, the prices were incredibly reasonable and the work on my teenage daughter's nails was truly art, nothing less. I am a fan of kiddie pedicure chairs and of people who are patient and warm to my children. Thank you!

    I have been going to Modern Nails for a couple of years now, never a negative experience until yesterday, July 2nd 2025. I went in for a full set of acrylic tips and was assigned to a male tech who I believe has never done my nails. He asked me what length I wanted the nails and I said medium, he glued one tip,cut it and showed me; although I hesitated at first I said it was OK. He proceeded to glue and cut all the rest but BEFORE he went on to applying the primer and the acrylic, I looked at my hands and asked him if he could remove those because they were too short; I apologize for the inconvenience but I felt that it should not be a major issue. I am a regular customer who has never complained about anything. He looked at me and said: "You want me to remove these and put new ones?" I said: "yes, please, I am so sorry" at that point he said something in his language which I did not need to understand to know that we was not happy; this was followed by some a conversation that made all the other technicians around him burst out laughing.The way he proceeded to remove the tips was a clear indication that he was very annoyed and aggravated by my request. That experience made me feel very uncomfortable and disrespected.The owner should be aware that this kind of behavior is unprofessional and should be unacceptable; especially when there's so much competition around. To me, this talks volumes and not in a positive way about the owner or whoever is in charge at this nail salon because it talks about how much you value your customers and the respect or lack of respect you have for the people who keep you in business. Remember that what you permit, you promote! It is very unfortunate that this happened because they do have good techs like "Song" who is the sweetest lady and does an excellent job. After my nails were done I had a pedicure with her. I still tipped generously, above 20% because I felt it would not have been fair to make "Song" pay the consequences of what this other guy did. Please see attached photo. That is the rude technician.

    I've been going here for a long time now and normally get dip powder nails but I'm going to a wedding this weekend and I had to dip my gargoyle feet in the pedicure tub so as not to embarrass my family. They did a great job. I picked the second to most expensive option because I wanted the paraffin dip and the whole process was lovely. This place gets some really sketch people so I would not necessarily trust all the reviews you see because I see people coming in and trying to negotiate pricing. I get that this is a luxury for many but if it is, go with basic luxury, don't try to get as much as you can for as little possible. This store is open 7 days a week and takes tons of people as walk in's despite having appointments (I'll admit I'm guilty of this too.) but your luxury should dig into the backs of those providing the service. I've always had a great experience at this place. If you feel someone cutting, drilling, or filing too close then just tell them.

    I go here every 2 weeks. They are always so welcoming and very nice and polite. They get my nails done for a fill in 45 min and always give me exactly what I want. They never disappoint.

    I wish I I knew how to post my pictures my adult daughter and I went and got manicures and pedicures . First time going and it was an absolute amazing time very relaxing . My nails are absolutely gorgeous! I went in yesterday before our staff party and everybody noticed our nails.. and the prices are amazing. So glad we found our new nail salon since my previous one shut down.. ahh I can add photos lol

    Ask the Community - Modern Nails

    Do they offer kid pedicure and manicures?

    How much is a dip mani?

    Anywhere from 40-60. I get ombré so it uses way more powder and mine were 50.

    I pass many shops driving across town to Modern Nails, but always worth it, especially because of the compliments I get on my nail art.

I would highly recommend trying this place out!

    Made an appointment for my sister and I to get bridal party makeup and hair. They weren't very…read moreclear that these would be two separate appointments. I received a confirmation text for a 12:15 pm check-in so we could be done by 2:30 pm. I think everything is straight here. I get a call the day before saying I need to be there at 10:30 am and that my appointment was moved. Pretty inconvenient when you have your freaking wedding day planned out already. We still made it work. Showed up and we were not greeted. No one was to be found. Waited around for about ten mins and finally got put in chairs for hair. Sarah (who did my hair) was friendly enough. I think she did her best and wanted me to feel good about my hair so thank you. The girl who did my sisters hair (Deja) was obviously less experienced and needed to almost be talked through the whole thing. Even on how to use a bobby pin. We asked for curls and some hair pulled back into twists. Mine was okay but my sister's was curled in some places and straight in others. Also, due to the time being moved up, we had to try and make the look last until 5 pm. Moved on to makeup and waited again for another 15 minutes or so. Finally someone pulls me over and starts. I forget her name but she was friendly enough too. My sister kept waiting for Sydney to come out and start on hers. After probably waiting another 10 mins, she comes out and asks what my sister wants. She said she wanted full makeup and Sydney responds to her with "why don't you just do it yourself". Excuse me?? We came here and made appointments for these services then you tell us to do it ourselves. Needless to say, my sister walked out. Other than Sarah and my makeup girl, the girls that work here are just kinda rude and don't do a very good job. I'm disappointed because it was my wedding day and they made something fun to be super stressful. Also, the pricing is not very clearly listed. They charged me for a wash and dry but we came in with washed and dried hair. Clueless all the way around. Maybe this place works for a regular Tuesday hair trim but DONT come here for your wedding day. Can't say I will return either way.
