I've known Amy for a little over a year. After taking a break from getting my nails done, I returned to the same salon I had grown to love only to find the former owners gone and Amy now at the helm. From the start, she was sweet and easy to like, though I'll admit I used to inspect my nails closely after each visit, looking for imperfections. A year later, my nails are healthier than ever, and those worries are long gone. I don't even stress about choosing a color anymore. Amy knows me well enough to guide me or pick something perfect when I can't decide. I've truly had the best manicures of my life this past year, all from this little shop. Amy is clearly loved and valued in the community. Many of her clients are locals, and even their husbands sometimes stop in for a pedicure! While a bit of patience is occasionally required since she's the sole manicurist, she is absolutely worth the wait. You won't be disappointed. She is extremely creative, highly skilled, and genuinely cares about her work. Whether you're a local or just passing through, give Amy a try, you'll be glad you did. She's terrific! read more

Amy is great! She is very creative and works hard to maintain the health of your nails. I love supporting local businesses.

Just left having a fill with Amy .. I am new to the Blaine area and found Nail Masters while driving through Birch Bay shopping center and I must say I was truly impressed with Amy. Yes she is super fast but she seems very detailed. My appointment was at 10am and I walked out close to 1040am. You have to give them a try... I will definitely Be back! Thanks Amy!! read more

Hubby and I made reservations on Friday for 2 pedis and a simple mani on Monday. The space is very large however only two people were working. So hubby and I were finished at very different times. The pedicures were nice. Seattle prices but that's okay. My manicure was very simple. Literally cuticle clean up. No polish minimal massage no buffing and they charged me the same $25. That was disappointing. So it was mostly good and a little not so good about our first experience. The two women there were both very nice as well. It would be nice if they had a$10 mani like my spot in seattle. We'd go back! read more

I love the location of Nail Masters at Birch Bay Square, a lot of us gals don't want to drive into town for a pedicure so that's a plus. It's also very quiet, there were only two other customers in the salon when I was there. There is also tons of parking. The salon itself is rather dimly lit and the polish selection is not as plentiful as other places I've been to. The salon seemed clean and the pedicure chairs were very high quality and in excellent condition. My technician was super gentle and worked very quickly. She did an excellent job trimming, cleaning and painting my toes. The basic pedicure here does not include a massage, something I have come to expect from previous experiences at other places. Overall this is a good place for pedicures in the north county area and I recommend it if you don't want to go into town. read more

It's OK. They're polite and the main owner speaks English, but the service very rushed, probably because every time the phone rings she says "OK!" without keeping any written record. People just kept coming in, and only one person was rushing around doing the work while an older person was wiping up. I wasn't impressed by the way they use the same files and tools on different people, making me worried I'd get a nail fungus. The prices were high for a little town like Blaine, as high as Seattle, and she skipped many steps such as cuticle care, hand massage, and dry skin removal on my pedi, but the quality of the manicure was fine. Like I said, it's just OK. read more

I went for a mani/pedi and an older woman clipping my toe nails cut the top pf my toe. I yelped and blood was dripping from my toe. A younger woman (owner?) helped bandage my toe and gave me a gift card for a mani and pedi and said she would do it herself. That older woman should not have been allowed to touch a client. I doubt that she is even licensed. read more

THIS SALON DOESNT SANITIZE THEIR TOOLS!!! IF YOU WANT A NAIL INFECTION THIS IS YOUR NEW NAIL SALON My friend went there to get her acrylics done the other day ended getting a NASTY nail infection. Literally had to rip off not only the nail but her "natural" nail bed off to relieve the pressure. I've attached the pictures. read more

Very friendly and accommodating. I was super later to my appointment they let me reschedule to later in the day. I asked if they did mail designs and they were very honest as to what they could do. Fortunately I went for the color that basically already had a design (cat eye). Did a really great work! read more

I've come here off and on for a few years and the best description of the services is erratic. 75% of the time they deliver great manicures and pedicures, 25% of the time is a rush job with much lower quality. I really wish they'd get more consistent. A great pedicure should take longer than 10 minutes and specific steps in the process should be followed each time! read more

Friendly. Affordable. And always accommodating if you just drop in. Very casual. No frills but convenient and my gel nails look good. I like supporting small, local business. read more

The best dipped nails I've ever had done period! Excellent work. We moved here from Texas and was worried about finding a new shop but all the techs are great. They always remember me. read more

I am very pleased with the manicure I got here. Everyone I talked to was very friendly. I had only gotten a pedicure here before but wanted to check out the reviews before I got a manicure. After reading the reviews, I almost didn't come but since it's so close to where I live, I thought I'd give it a chance anyway. I'm glad I did. I didn't experience anything bad like the other reviews had mentioned (they did speak in Vietnamese to one another but that's par for the course if you don't want to drop a lot of $$ at a high dollar spa for a mani). I was actually impressed that they spoke in English with me & included me in part of their conversation. Maybe it depends on the nail tech (great detail on my nails, super nice & talkative) or maybe they've taken the reviews to heart & are making changes for the better. read more

Nail Masters - Love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Nothing special, they absolutely do the minimum on their manicures and pedicures. Their couches are broken down and stained, the carpet was old and dirty, lighting was horrible. Service was very so so. The older gentleman who takes the payment was unfriendly and in no rush to meet me at the register so I could pay. No thank you for coming in from anyone. No need to return ever again. Just so mediocre. read more

This place is really nice. I was helped immediately for just a simple manicure and eyebrow wax. It has been too long since either was done and they didn't judge. Both services were done by different people and very thorough. He make a tiny nick on my finger that I couldn't feel or see, but he was very apologetic. He went back over anything that wasn't to his liking and I wouldn't have noticed. The practitioner doing the waxing was the same. He was a tad rough, but nothing uncomfortable. The nail color selection was interesting with lots of blue sparkles and bright pinks. Lucky I like blues (but actually chose a purple this time). read more

I got my nails done at Nail Masters on February 20th - a shellac manicure & a pedicure. Both were enjoyable & the conversation was pleasant. The biggest reason behind this 5-star rating is that this manicure LASTED. it's March 17th (almost a month later!!) and my nails still look great. They are grown out due to natural nail growth, but I don't have any chips or missing polish. I work in a job that does use my hands and I have pets so manicures normally don't last more than a week and a half, tops. The pedicure also still looks great. Amazing! I am so impressed & Nail Masters will definitely see me again. read more

Made an appointment, clean place, checked my temperature, clean tools, wore gloves and masks, took time with my feet and checked on my comfort. read more

Nail Masters - Great pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Well, moving means a new nail salon and even though I went to one in Bellingham, it was nice but it didn't last and my nails were tattered when those tips were removed. Kyle, took the old ones off and I waited about three weeks before I needed a new set and a pedicure. The pedicure was first and even though the water wasn't hot enough it was OK. I am used to a deluxe pedi with the bubbly water, hot towels on my legs and a massage. It was nice but not what I am used to at my old salon. Kyle is quite delightful with a good sense of humor. On to the nails...I chose a dark pink sparkly and the tips are square. I've worn oval nails for years and the square ones look GREAT! Kyle took the time to trim my nails so that the tips would adhere securely. I LOVE my new nails and I will definitely be using Nail Masters as long as I am in the area. The price was great for the service I received. read more

Do NOT come here! Seriously, yelp reviews do not lie. Shame on me. I was desperate to get my nails done on my way to Canada and it's location is right off I-5. One star for location, everything else can suck my nuts. Worst gel color selection. They only had 20 colors and the colors I wanted, they could not find. Worst customer service. It was empty on a Saturday afternoon, bad sign. I did not get a friendly greeting as I walked in. Damn, I thought I was a bitch. My Nail tech sure was. No smile, lacks everything you can imagine. While doing my manicure, she did not clean my cuticles well, she left me under the UV light too long that it was getting hot. I took my hands out and the bitch yelled at me! You're not supposed to be under that light too long. I've been getting my nails done every two weeks for the past 4 years of my life, so I think I know the order of getting a basic manicure. NO massage, NO lotion application, NOTHING great. I wanted purple nails and picked a purple color, once my nails cooled down my nails were pink! WHATTHEFRACK?! I came in with pink nails and wanted to change it to purple. I asked the tech, what happened, she didn't know. I looked at the bottle and it was mood changing gel polish which was crap Because it only changes to purple if I run my hands under hot water. PPPPFFFFF what a gimmick. NEVER AGAIN *Flips bird* read more

They are always so friendly and do a great job on my gel manicures. Very attentive to your requests

This place is the WORST. I got a terrible pedicure...the girl cut me! No apologies, and still expected me to pay full price. They chat amongst themselves in their own language and move from person to person working on whomever whenever. Even if you have an appointment, they will take someone who walks in over you and you will sit with your feet in the tub waiting for someone to come back to you. The guy who runs the place is like a pimp! These people do not know customer service. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for. Myself, I would rather pay more and go to a real spa, where at least they care about you and your nails. Never again! read more

WORST NAIL EXPERIENCE EVER. when I first got there I showed the guy a picture of the nails I wanted, he looked at the picture for a good 3 minutes then finally went to grab the color. I didn't think the color he picked was the same as the one in the picture but he insisted it was so I went with it. when we sat down there was a shield type thing between me and him that was SO DIRTY the counter was also disgusting and there wasn't even a towel on it or anything. There was no oils, no lotion, no massage, no anything. 51$ for what?? after he put the acrylics on he asked how long I wanted and I said medium length and what he gave me was definitely not medium. they were SOO short and I did not like them whatsoever. The next day I came back to get them redone because they looked nothing like the picture. the appointment was supposed to be at 4:15 but he didn't even start until 4:45 and it probably would've been a longer wait if my mom didn't say anything. I asked for them to be longer and I asked for a new color and yeah he did that but the shape was awful. I asked for coffin and it was definitely not coffin, all of my nails looked different lengths and shapes. He fixed them for free but I wouldn't have paid either way. so unsanitary and the worst customer service. DONT COME HERE. read more

We came over the weekend- the chairs are broken like taped together controls and they chair just flat doesn't work... Part of the enjoyment is in the chair- The lady cut my big toe nails at an angle then tried to cover it up and straighten it out and ended up cutting my nail waaaay to short, when I said "what happened" as they are very short and that's not good- the reply was "you said cut short!" & "it will grow back" I mean come on!!! You would think there would be a discount or something for the obvious discomfort this will cause... Nope full price. Yea WE had a nice time with each other but I won't be coming or bringing (4) people with me again- read more

This is my nail salon- they are kind, friendly and willing to fit you in even if it's busy! Willie touched up a poor nail job I had done just before my wedding and it lasted for a month! Beautiful job. Just went today without an appointment with two friends from work and had a great experience! read more

Nail Masters - My work friends and I getting pampered! - Nail Salons Near Me - Blaine, Washington

I have been getting pedicures here for years. The service is always good. They are very clean. There are new chairs there now which give an awesome back massage. It was getting a little run down and the heels but they are making improvements all the time. Will definitely keep using there service. read more

Staff was friendly... Poor job on nails, polish, and pedicure. Pedicure was not nearly as complete as other salons. Very basic for price.

Good place to get your nails done. very Clean, Upscale looks without being "snootny". From reading earlier reviews I expected to be in and out in a flash, not so. Bring a book or iTunes you will be there the regular hour but it is time well spent. My nails are still in great shape after three weeks jenne read more

Eh...I got a pedicure, and it was nice until the guy who was doing my nails left me for half an hour and finally came back to tell me I was done. :( I might go somewhere else to get my nails done. read more

Love these guys!!! The new chairs are amazing!!! My friend got an amazing pedi & I got a fill!! The service is wonderful!!

AWFUL! If I could give zero stars I would've. Pros: The seats were nice, we were seated quickly, and the two young males were nice. That's about where the good things ended. Cons: *First, the nail polishes were so old and practically empty, so it was difficult to choose a color. They were so old it was difficult to open a bottle. All four of us sat down, and three of us were being serviced which was fine. But this is where the problem started. *The lady Jennifer was very aggressive when cutting toes and tapping roughly to have you switch feet. She did not even give the tiniest amount of a massage. She used almost no lotion so it was basically the rubber gloves she wore just touching the foot. The hot washcloth was put on the leg then IMMEDIATELY TAKEN OFF. It was not even used as part of the relaxing process. When she was cutting the cuticles, she did so quickly and it cut my toe. *My biggest issue by far is the tools (callus remover [cheese foot grader], scrubber, cuticle cutter, etc) she used on my feet WERE THEN USED ON MY MOM AND THEN A DIFFERENT PERSON. Not sanitizing the tools is so disgusting and since my toe was cut I'm now very nervous for all the diseases that can be transferred when things aren't cleaned. In total, my pedicure was 10 minutes long and cost $27. While this may "seem" cheaper than other pedicures, this was so expensive for the service received. When I asked if this was an express pedicure they said this was normal. Wish there had been current reviews that said this so my family and I could've avoided this placAs we were leaving two ladies were walking in and nicely asked the main gentleman how long the wait was and he rolled his eyes at them ignoring their question and just restated for them to pick out their colors. He ignored the issues that we stated to him as paying. All four of us were in and out in 30 minutes which is crazy for 3 workers and 4 of us needing pedicures. AVOID THIS PLACE. Not sure how they have regulars but if you are here on vacation, definitely look for another place!! So upset. read more

Do not come here! They do not clean their implements! The night right after my best friend got a pedicure there she woke up with both her feet itching, it turns out they gave her athletes foot! That's definitely not okay! read more

Worst manicure I have ever had. Stopped in to get my nails done while traveling and should have read reviews first. I knew I was in for a bumpy ride when it took them 5 minutes to acknowledge I had walked through the door. First of all, they made it seem like a huge inconvenience that I was there. Then while removing my existing shellac they scraped and filed my nails so thin that it is painful. After filing my nails, she begins painting right away. No cuticle prep or any other kind of work was done and I had filing dust all over my hands still as she began painting. My shellac had bumps all over it and chipped within an hour of leaving. Please, for your own sake, do NOT give these people anymore business. read more

Very friendly staff. However, I was very surprised at how minimal my pedicure was. They didn't put anything in the water while soaking my feet, no cuticle gel to soften or moisturize, nothing while using the cheese grater tool and didn't use a pumas stone to smooth it out. Put lotion on, with slight massage and then polish. Not worth the amount they charge for pedicures. read more

I did not have appointment but they took me in rightaway. That was wonderful. KYLE did awesome job on my nails. Highly recommend Kyle to do nails. read more

Nail Masters - Beautiful pink and White - Nail Salons Near Me - Blaine, Washington

I went to this salon because I needed my nails done quickly and couldn't get into my own manicurist. They took me right away, but a younger fellow who I felt didn't give a hoot about me or doing a good job came up and without doing must shaping or pushing my cuticles back quickly put the polish on and before I could ask about a base coat or anything else he was finished!!!!! What a terrible job. I will NEVER go back. And no one seemed to oversee this fellow. He must have been shown where the polish was and given one-time instructions. read more

A friend recommended this place so I tried it out after I got nice sandals. No appointment needed. I had tried to call ahead but got a message the number was not in service... the owner said something about it being finicky wires/connection.... The hours are Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm. Prices are comparable to other places. The gal I got did wonderful on the massage part.... painless. read more

I've been coming here for a while now. My nails always last a long time and their customer service is great. The people there are all very nice and professional. THANKS NAIL MASTERS read more

I have been here twice, and both times have received very poor customer service. I had a manicure both times, and although the end result was good, I will not be returning. The owner is very, very rude. I observed him being rude with other patrons too. He seems to get very agitated immediately when someone asks him to repeat himself. There's a language barrier (owner and staff are Asian), and while most seemed fluent in English, sometimes it's difficult to understand what they're saying. The owner also wears a mask, and doesn't take it off to speak to people, which makes understanding him even more difficult. I saw that he walked away from one woman after she politely asked him one time to repeat himself. She looked confused for a moment and then left. I don't blame her. Both times I had one person start out on the manicure, then leave for a lengthy period of time, and then another person came to finish the manicure. I don't mind having two people, but I'd like to be told at least before the first person just up and leaves. There was no attempt at any communication at all, the tech just stood up and left. I was also left multiple times while the gel polish layers were drying. This takes a few minutes per layer, but the owner left to work on someone else twice, leaving me for more than ten minutes each time. He gave no warning that he was leaving. The salon wasn't busy at all and I observed two other staff members there, doing nothing, just sitting in the pedicure area. The atmosphere there was really unwelcoming. Again, I don't mind waiting a bit, switching nail techs, etc. but I was displeased with the number of lengthy, rude, and unnecessary interruptions as well as the complete lack of customer service. I'm disappointed that I gave this salon a second chance. I don't recommend Nail Masters to anyone. read more

positives : nails look nice in and out in 30 minutes (full set of tips) Negatives tech was very pushy - if she want my finger moved she just flicked it tech didn't say more than 3 or 3 words to me the whole 1/2 hour tech spoke in a foreign language to co workers tech spoke in a foreign language on her cell phone while my nails were under the light overall I would go back in a pinch but NOT a spa experience AT ALL !! read more

I was quite disappointed when I walked into Nail Masters. It is very dirty and does not look clean at all. That is one of the most important factors when I pick a nail salon. On top of that, I got a manicure done and the next day it was already chipping a ton! Definitely not worth going to. I will drive into Bellingham next time. read more
