I recently moved to the area and was looking to get my toes done. They accept walk ins, they were able to get me in right away. They did a great pedicure and a few weeks later I came back and got a polish change for the toes. Everyone is very friendly, the pedicure is great quality. This will be my new spot for sure! read more

Mv Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Part 1: I called MV Nails to confirm if they worked with hard gel, specifically asking if they did hand drawn designs. They said yes. I made 2 appointments for my daughter and I to get fills, scheduled purposely to be their last clients of the evening since that would typically take 1.5-2 hrs if done well, and it's inconvenient to schedule intensive services in the middle of the day. Upon arriving the male tech I had asked me what I was wanting, I replied a fill w/ hard gel and designs on a few nails. I have been getting this every 5-6 wks for over 2yrs. He took my hands and told me I had acrylic on my nails. I had to state multiple times that it was hard gel, with my daughter even having to speak up. Starting to feel anxious, I mentioned that I had confirmed they do hard gel when I called. He just looked at my hands. So at this point I asked him if that would be possible , he gave no real answer. He's still examining the set I had on so I continued to share that I had one weaker nail, offering guidance on how much pressure I could handle from the drill. I lastly mentioned I preferred my nails to be a bit thinner. We should be ready to start now that we know what my goal is. I thought. He instantly began rushing to drill off all my old polish, going so fast that he was chipping away more of the gel than needed to be removed. It was sloppy. His demeanor was that I was inconveniencing him. My anxiety worsening, I knew this wasn't going to be the relaxing experience one hopes for. I gently asked him to go back for a few missed spots, and politely asked him to slow down. He began speaking to the female tech -- clearly handing me off to her. I was glad of it since his energy was so chaotic and dismissive. I thanked her, sitting down. I mentioned the rushing just makes me more anxious and that I appreciated going a bit slower. She was accommodating in that she did go slower. I began to feel better. It being my first visit, I didn't want to ask for anything more challenging than what I typically get. I dumbed it down so much. I picked a set that only had 1 finger designed. It was a half sunflower made with builders gel. I showed my tech and the one working on my daughter's nails. They looked at this picture like it was IMPOSSIBLE. They said because it was builders gel they couldn't do it. Okaaaaay, can you draw it? They look at each other and hmm and haw and say she could probably draw it but it wouldn't look exactly like the picture. Okaaaay, so I'm thinking to myself what caaan you do? I was confused as to why such a basic skill and simple set was becoming so difficult to do. It was looking like I wouldn't be able to really get much as far as designs that day. Thinking to future visits-- I asked who the tech was that was doing the designs from their IG page. Because if there's someone that specializes in design, that should be who we see. They looked at eachother. Other tech said the male who just left did most of the designs. She said this because then they could say I was unhappy with his service. Clearly nobody could do design work with technical skill or artistry. So then I asked what my tech's specialties were so I could get a better idea of what we could reasonably accomplish. So I asked her what she would suggest if the flower was too complicated. She said 'maybe a sticker?" How disappointing to think that THAT'S the best she could do?!?!? I then pull up an even simpler picture of an ombré yellow French variation and was given excuses as to why they couldn't do that either...as if I hadn't been getting my nails done in these ways for years. By now I've come to an important realization that I don't say out loud: Most of- if not all- of the "nice" sets on their IG profile are all stolen from the internet. A simple reverse image search confirms it. I'll have to do a part 2 for the rest of what happens. As you can see I ended up deciding to forgo any polish after all the excuses and gaslighting about why they couldn't do basic nail art. And then how they started manipulating prices... read more

They accept walk ins. Basic pedicure is what i always get! Discount for cash paying customers.

I have had to wait a week for an appointment at other salons. The walk-in option makes a big difference for me. It is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere and the techs are friendly. They do a nice job and are very gentle. read more

Fast and efficient. I arrived early and they were ready. Did not waste my time. Clean and pleasant. I will return read more

So unfortunately I've had multiple bad experiences here. I've waited anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour to be attended to even with an appointment. The pedicures are extremely basic and overpriced, always cold water unless you speak up and tell them it's cold, things like that. I have given this place many chances and I'm very easy going. However I had an appointment to get my acrylic set removed. HORRIBLE! The person removing my nails took a nail tip that's normally glued on for a full set to rip the acrylic nail off my natural nail. Painful and completely wrecked my natural nails! I believe this method of removal is illegal but not totally sure! I was bleeding on multiple nails and this person continued to drill on all my natural nails after and use oil on my nails and put the oil brush back in the bottle! Disgusting! I'll never go back! Not to mention they charged me $22 for the removal!!!! read more

Came in with my daughter for pedicures. We had appointments and were both seated in the pedi chairs but we were worked on one at a time. A couple of my toes ended up with scratch marks from the gals fingernails which are still visible 3 days after. We were treated like an inconvenience. Won't be back. read more

I recently started getting acrylics with gel polish. I've been to a few salons and this is my favorite, my manicure lasts the longest when I come here and the price is right! I really appreciate the customer service too. Everyone here has been a great listener and gives me exactly what I ask for, no problem. Nice attention to detail, like ensuring the cuticle line is clean so my manicure grows out nicely and still looks great. Sometimes it takes a little longer, but damn worth it for perfect nails that last 3 weeks + read more

They did a nice job but my issue is that they don't sanitize any of their tools in between customers. They don't clean off the stations and there was nail dust all over when I got there. They also shared clippers and files which really grossed me out. Not only is it gross to share clippers and files on principle, but during a pandemic it seems really important. I would go back if I found their hygiene got better. read more

The staff is nice, but unfortunately I made a appointment at 12:00 once I arrived, they informed me there would be a wait. I was totally fine with that for I wasn't going to do anything for the rest of the afternoon, the wait turned from 10min to 30min. The gentlemen who did my nails was nice, but not very skilled as for mini did a great job on her client. Overall it's a nice clean Salon, just depends who you get and if you like to wait read more

I have seen this nail salon in passing but never went in. My regular nail salon couldn't get me in with my limited time so I went here and I'm glad I did. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and she took her time doing my nails and getting my shape perfect. I will be returning to this salon. read more

Mv Nails - Perfect fill - Nail Salons Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

I tried here today after deciding it was time for a new place to go. While their color selection wasn't as strong as the salon I'm leaving, they still have a great selection!! I needed a new place because while there was a great color selection, I always got stuck with the worst manicurist who worked there, even when I called and stated that I didn't not want him working on my nails, color was always uneven and last time the tip lifted from my nail within an hour! I should have gotten her name, but she did an AMAZING JOB. I told her the one nails problem and she just redid the whole nail, the shape and length are perfect and she did wonderfully detailed sunflowers! Love love love! read more

I was looking to get a manicure and a few people recommended this spot, so I called to make an appointment for 1:00pm. I arrived on time. They sat me down and I waited. I waited for 20min until I realized no one has helped me (other than giving me the binder ring with all the nail colors). I looked around and everyone seemed to be busy. I waited another 20min before I called it quits. I understand that things may get busy, but I made an appointment to make sure I made it to my other appointments and plans for the day. Not sure if they were understaffed or what, but waiting for 40 minutes with no explanation is unacceptable. read more

Called for an appointment waited 25 minutes after my appointment time to get my pedicure started. Very frustrating. Understaffed. Don't take an appointment if you can't do it. Second time this has happened here. Not going to come back. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how nice the inside of this nail salon was! I got a pedicure, the lady was very nice. The hot stone massage felt so good, the interior of the salon is very aesthetically pleasing and relaxing. Overall I had a very good experience here and will be returning :) read more

I have to schedule an appointment they never keep, I show up and have to wait 45mins after the time I scheduled, I can no longer receive all the services I wanted due to poor time management, but walk-ins can come in and receive full service. Yet when I walked in, I was always turned away and told to schedule an appointment. It's became exhausting at this point personally. read more

I made an appointment yesterday to come in today. I showed up 5 minutes early and now 25 minutes after my appointment time I'm still waiting. 7 minutes ago one of the technicians told me they messed me up with someone else and it's going to be another minute. Smh, I'd go somewhere else but everything closes at the same time. I can only hope they don't rush or cut my poor fingers in the process. read more

I'm new to Mount Vernon so I've been trying out different nail salons for my regular pedicure. This salon has very nice decor and when I walked in they accommodated me quickly. When getting my pedicure from a gentleman he asked if I wanted my nails cut, I said yes but he proceeded to not cut my nails. I had to ask again for him to cut them. The stone massage was nice but not any better than a regular hand massage. This place does not have the light to dry your nails. The prices here (for Mount Vernon?!) are pretty high....$27 for a basic pedicure. Back in Everett I paid $20 for the same thing. The kicker is that a few days later my pedicure chipped.... So not worth it!! I won't be returning to this salon. read more

My visit started out slow as they sat me in a chair and I waited 20 minutes before anyone even came over to fill the foot tub. The massage was good and the hot stones were a nice touch, but when the gal was trimming my cuticles she cut the skin on one of my toes and I started to bleed. No first aid was administered, and thier solution was to continue with the pedicure like normal with my toe bleeding. When it came time for polish, she attempted to stop the bleeding by applying nail glue to the cut. It kind of worked but hurt a lot and she didn't clean the blood off my toe before finishing the pedicure. Then I was left again for 20 minutes and got no assistance removing the toe separators or putting on my sandals. I was treated like an inconvenience and was there for over 2 hours for a basic pedicure. I will not be back. read more

Excuse my dry red hands, I have eczema. Which is why I never get my nails done but my friend had an appt with Mimi so I decided to join her and she did amaaazing!!! I believe the name of this color is Tropical Teal the pictures don't show how vibrant they are but they Absolutely couldn't have turned out better she was very nice and took her time yet she was fast and made sure the color was even. I got a gel polish so they won't chip and she put like 3 coats of color on. I went in the morning so my friend and I were the only 2 people their minus the staff. I think I'm gonna call ahead for Mimi tomorrow and get them just a little shorter and add the design I was scared to get in the first place lol read more

Friendly, clean. Got a great pedicure. Will be going back!

I always love this place. I've been coming here for many years (even with changes with ownership). They REALLY shine these days. A couple of the gals (I wish I knew their names) are SO talented!!! I came in today (about half an hour from closing) and they were so awesome. I didn't feel rushed, even though they were closing soon. The gal did a cute design (like always) and treated me like they always do. I was really impressed with the great work and attitude...I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

I tried to go here as my new nails salon & was very disappointed. They are closer & cheaper than my current one, so I had hopes that they would be great. They are rude & talk about people while they are doing their nails.... U would think with that kind of attitude they would do a good job.... No, they don't look good at all, my cuticles are still tore up, & are already coming off ‍. The 2nd try was even way worse than the first time! I will be going back to my amazing girls in Bellingham. read more

Summer is wonderful! The inside of this place is really nice! Highly recommend! Everyone is super friendly here - I will be back for not just a pedicure but also for gel nails. read more

I love doing my manicures here with gel. They do an amazing job and shape your nails so beautifully. My nails last the longest here and I find that surprising since I work with child and I'm constantly washing my hands. On the other hand I will never do my pedicures here. It's disgusting that they used the same tools (without washing or disinfecting) on 3 people while I was there. From me to the next two people who came. I was mortified read more

VERY strong chemical smell, hard to breathe. My mom & I went in for a traditional manicure. They didn't do any lotion or give a hand or arm massage. They were very sweet & nice people. If I wanted to get my nails painted I could have done it myself for free or $5 & get a new color rather than $20. Plus there were several unpainted areas on my nails on multiple fingers. They definitely prioritized customers getting acrylics or gel manicures so if that's your thing, go for it. read more

Just got a pedicure at MV Nails. Seriously how this place gets 5 stars is completely beyond me! First of all I'm not sure if this place is a nail salon or a swap meet! Its bizarre. Anyways, the girl was REALLY RUFF and clipped the cuticle down too much. Believe me it hurt!! Then she tried to act like it was just me being over sensitive. I DON'T THINK SO! You feel when live skin is being clipped from your body as opposed to dead skin. The products they use are disgusting and I'm scared that my jeans are going to get stained from all the oil they use. The experience was nerve racking and painful and the establishment looked cheap, cluttered and disorganized Don't go!!! In fact the only reason I'm giving it two stars is because they gave me a free pair of disposable flip flops since I forgot my sandals. read more

Decided to get my acrylic nails back. Though when I left I'd rather have my sh*tty nails back. My acrylics are all uneven, crooked and different lengths. Not to add that my hand is a pound heavier with how thick of acrylic they put on. My hands are covered in glue. I just cannot believe they let me leave there business like this. I will not be coming back. read more

I came across this place as I was on my way up to Bellingham for a wedding and needed to get a quick polish change...

I had a wonderful experience!!! I went with my boyfriend who really normally hates going with me. This time was different, As I got my pedicure, my boyfriend was able to sit in the pedicure chair next to me and use the massage chair and watch TV on there big screen. I got a white flower over pink polish. Very girly but quite beautiful. Once my pedicure was over. We even got him to agree to get a pedicure. He keeps talking about his shinny toe nails. HAHA I had to have my acrylics taken off and got a new set redone. I got my eyebrows waxed and they turned out wonderful. Prices are amazing! Anna was wonderful. I would call ahead and ask for her. Though they do except walk in. For my boyfriends spa pedicure, my spa pedicure (Design on toe), My manicure (redoing my acrylics) with a swag nail, and my eyebrows done. My total came out to be only $100. Very impressed. My boyfriend is volunteering to go back with my again for my fill and my next pedicure. I will absolutely be going back!!! read more
