They really take their time with prep, shaping, and making sure everything looks clean and perfect. Every time I get my nails done here, the finish is flawless and feels like a mirror. At other salons, you never really know how it's going to turn out, but here every single person I've had has done amazing work. The quality is always consistent, and everyone is so kind and professional. You can tell they care about what they do. I'll only trust this place from now on. It's truly the best, and I always leave feeling so happy with my nails.

It pains me to write this review because I have been going here for years…read more I got a gel manicure last Friday. The front desk girls were nice. The initial first half of my appointment was fine. Things shifted towards the second half of my appointment. I accidentally dipped my hands back in water after my nails were filed and buffed. The tech I was working with (Lily) seemed visibly annoyed with me. I felt very awkward for the rest of my appointment. After that happened, she was weirdly pushy and abrupt with my hands while curing the gel nails under the LED light. That wasn't even the worst part. During the gel application, I saw this girl wipe her cleanup brush with extra alcohol directly onto the granite countertop, then use the same brush directly on my skin to clean the excess gel on my hands. I have always seen techs here use a paper towel (or another white towel) for this. I was so grossed out. To top off this experience, the hot towel and hand massage at the end of my appointment was super rushed and not thorough at all. So disappointing. I hope this was a fluke, but sad to say I will probably be going elsewhere.

When you enter the building, you won't see the shine beauty studio name on the directory list. Just take the elevator to the 4th floor, room #414. Ambience: the room is small but functional. Annie does nails as well as facials, so the room is sectioned for the nail table and facial beds. You can probably bring one person max since space is limited. Service: she will accommodate your needs, just bring pictures of what you want! I brought the design I wanted and she made it happen! She works fast and very diligent. Very friendly to chat around too. I already got so many compliments on my nails on the same day I got my nails done. I definitely recommend Annie and her studio to everyone!

Absolutely incredible Dazzle Dry manicure from Leila this morning. I'm in town for the weekend, and…read moremy polish was chipping. I found the reviews here on Yelp and immediately knew this was the place. She was so warm, friendly, and communicative - and responded right away to my inquiry. She got me in so fast, and I could not be happier with everything. Her space is *pristine* - I have never seen a nail space so clean. I'm talking hospital-level clean. It is so clear that she is passionate about what she does, and her skill level is next level. She shaped my short, natural nails perfectly, and even identified some high stress areas (I work with my hands) and filed in such a way to reduce future breakage. We did a beautiful semi transparent pink polish that complimented my undertones, and she suggested a subtle French tip which I absolutely love. The end result is a super subtle, super beautiful "my nails but better" look that I adore. My only gripe? - that I live in Philadelphia and she's in Seattle and I can't see her every two weeks. Seriously the best manicurist and esthetician I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. And I can't wait to book with her again the next time we're out this way.

I'd never had a dry pedicure before, but my feet felt so incredibly soft and smooth when she was done. Not to mention looking fantastic! Leila is highly responsible around cleanliness, and she autoclaves all her instruments to sterilize them. She can also do couples, and very graciously ensured that I could get in and out of the parking garage. I will definitely be back, and highly recommend her to any and all.

I grow out my natural nails, and one was totally broken, and another was basically gone. So I was on a mission for a budget-friendly mani, and I found Pro Nails in Queen Anne. I went around 1pm, and the spot looked super nice--definitely not empty, a few customers, and you could see they were renovating the place. I think they have new ownership, and it's really coming together. The guy up front--can't remember his name, but he was amazing--so welcoming, super easy to talk to, like a friend who just totally gets it. He was on top of it--gave me tips on what kind of polish would help my natural nails stay strong. The service was fast--got in within like 10 or 15 minutes, and it was only $40 flat--extra $5 for a French tip. I was done in like 40 minutes--didn't even feel like it took long. Props to the lady who did my nails. The whole atmosphere felt so warm and inviting. I told them my nail issues, and they got me all fixed up like a pro. Honestly, 10 out of 10. This place was just awesome, and I'll def be back next time I'm in town!

A little communication difficulty on the phone due to language barrier made me nervous so I made sure to call the day before to confirm my apt.

Salon was clean and there was plenty of free street parking nearby. Price was as expected for Queen Anne and maybe even slightly better than others- $50 for regular mani pedi? My pedi still looks great almost a month later, mani lasted around 1.5 weeks but probably could last longer if I didn't need to wash my hands so much at work.
