I've been going to Refine Nails for over a year now. Pretty salon across the street from the Amazon Spheres. Very clean and most importantly they use a fresh set of instruments every time and wear gloves. I had a cat's eye gel mani/pedi yesterday with Mari. But they also do fantastic nail art. Rachel's Ginger Beer is next door and I often pop in there to grab a refreshing beverage before my nail appointment. Scotti recommends! read more

Aries did my nails and I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves first time getting nail art in my life!!! (Besides one time getting black French tip) I was obsesseddddd I got the gel x extensions with level 3 art After coming to refine I've learned so much more about nail care and health. And the education behind nails! I have so much respect for these people and the time they've dedicated going to school and learning this art. As someone who used to not think too much about this field. Each tech is so talented and knowledgeable. And there's a different person whether you just want a regular mani pedi or you like to go all out with designs/art. I enjoy my time here chatting with the techs. If you like art I recommend Taleah, Aries and Daryl! But everyone is lovely They also have a smaller studio on dexter Ave as well with a few talented technicians As a budget girly this place is not always within my budget but I think you get what you pay for and you also need to consider the location too. I think prices are pretty comparable if you were to go to a lot of other techs that specialize in art and such. (Specifically the private ones) Pro tip! Ask for rose when you come in :) or if you don't drink there's water and limited tea options read more

I called ahead and asked if this place takes walk ins and they don't usually. They accommodated me with their "apprentice" who I booked a mani and a pedi with. During my casual conversation with her I asked her how long she had been a nail technician for. She stated that she had been working for 2 years. She did the entire manicure dry without any soaking or cuticle remover. Only using an electronic file to clean up the cuticles. She took over 2 hours to do a basic manicure. The paint job took forever and I would have missed my flight back to LA had I stayed for the feet. Now this manicure was filled with numerous f-ups and flops. The bottle of matte top coat was chunky like oatmeal so she needed to repaint my pinky. Then she smudged nails that she had previously painted and they needed redos. She also dropped polish on the floor and it spilled. When I explained to her that I'd have to pass on the pedicure she took an attitude with me saying that I should have explained that to the receptionist ahead of time. To which I responded I've never had someone spend 2+ hours on my hands. My manicure started chipping within the hour cause paint bonded to the skin. This service was $31 with the apprentice. I could have done a better job on my own nails with paint and all at home for way less. I use to do nails and hair years ago at a men's salon when I was still practicing cosmetology. I wasn't offered a beverage, this service was pretty bare bones. I payed extra for a hot towel I feel the need to call out this sheer incompetence because if you're a paying client you don't deserve to go through that. Ive had way better even at a beauty college. I added another star because I feel like the other 2 nail technicians working there were doing some amazing and beautiful work. read more

Got the $30 trainee manicure and it was excellent!! Hina was really meticulous and took such care doing my nails. The salon was nice too and intermittently offered guests refreshments. read more

I would not have sought this place out except for the fact that I had a gift card, and it WAY exceeded my expectations! The mani/pedi I got from Taleah was wonderful, and my hands and feet and nails are literally softer than they have ever been before. I just got a basic color coat, but Taleah can also do highly intricate nail art (she showed me on her own nails). I was expecting not to come back here, but now I think I will return specifically for Taleah! She was so good. read more

I live in neighborhood and always wanted to check this place. Alyna is my to go girl! She works very fast, professional and I was happy with the result. Place is very clean and chic. I love how many polish colors they have. I just love to sit back relax and choose colors. I cant wait to come when masks restrictions will be lifted. I know they sent me an email that in July masks restrictions will be lifted. Also, I wish they would bring back drinks because it makes you feel special. My pedicure lasted over 7 weeks so far and I have my next appointment in 2 weeks scheduled. Cant wait. read more

I always go to Alina when I come here for a manicure or pedicure and she nails it (literally) every time! She has so much attention to detail and is also quick with her work. The space is clean and cute and is easy to locate! Also parking is free after 4 pm and on weekends and can be validated for 2 hours if outside of those times! All in all, I recommend Refine Nails to everyone! read more

If you're looking for great service with a very talented nail artist go and see Lena. She can do just about any type of design you want. She has a cute little private room in the studio so you feel comfortable and right at home. People have mentioned the pricing. They are higher than your normal nail salon but my nails lasted 3 weeks. It would have been longer if my nails wouldn't grow! The shellac stayed on and I'm rough on my hands so that's a huge compliment. Well worth it. Great location and easy to get to with parking. Highly recommend. read more

Have had a my nails done twice here. Very clean (my first priority). Friendly people. Meghan did my nails and she knew what she was doing both in the artistry and in correctly and gently trimming the nails. I'll continue to come here for manis! read more

The place is cute and clean on the inside. I paid $90 before tip. I wanted gel x French tips. The application is poorly done and it was overpriced for what I got. There was too much glue applied so there was a bunch of glue underneath my fingertips making my fingertips thick. Overall, too expensive for poor work. read more

My best friend is getting married and I couldn't think of a better way to kick off wedding week than with pampering her at Refine Nails and Spa. If this is your first time visiting and you're driving into Seattle, the location offers secured garage parking with validation! Save yourself from the stress of others watching as you try to parallel park in downtown Seattle during the lunch rush. We kept their team busy with two gel mani and pedis, a full set of acrylic with nail art and pedi, and lastly, a full set of hard gel with extensions and nail art. This was my first time having hard gel done and I am absolutely in love with my nails! That's why I'm awake at midnight leaving a review because I keep staring at my beautiful nails! Mirna is an absolute badass and it's magic watching her work. We had an exceptional experience at Refine Nails and Spa and I highly recommend them! read more

My first time at Refine. This is a beautifully appointed nail shop. Very modern. They don't have massage chairs but the chairs they do have look comfy and they are pretty cute too. The check in was quick, my nail artist, Kate was ready right away. She did a fantastic job and was a sweetheart to chat with. She helped me pick a puffy light blue color because my original color was a bit too nude. She was gentle and quick, I was only there for 45 minutes or so for my fill. I had a lovely experience here and intend to return. I will say that it's a bit expensive at $60 not including tip. Also, if you want any kind of nail art you need to schedule that prior to showing up because it not only takes more time but is at an extra cost. read more

I absolutely loved my trip to Refine! It was my first time but man am I in love. I will definitely be coming back. Ivy did my nails and I wanted a gel manicure. She did it so quickly and so carefully. She paid so much attention to details more than anyone else who's done my nails before at any other salon. She was so patient while I was still picking out the color I wanted. I had a great conversation with Ivy as well, which was the cherry on top! read more

I had a great experience here with Olivia. She was wonderful, super sweet, we had great conversation while she did my pedi. I was in town on business so I won't be a regular, but I will definitely schedule with her again when I'm in Seattle :) My only regret is that we didn't have time for her to do my nails so hopefully next time! Thank you Olivia for making my experience wonderful! read more

Love this place. I always get the Olive (gel) manicure and my nails last 4 weeks. This salon is popular, so definitely make reservations in advance! Prices are comparable to other nice salons around, but this is the only place I found that makes my nails look amazing for a month. read more

Ash created the most beautiful and fun nails ever! I'm so confused by the negative reviews and glad I ignored them. Located by the Spheres for perfect people watching while getting your nails done, and very cute interiors - Refine felt like the perfect place to get pampered. Ash over at Refine will give you the nails of your dreams, while making sure to keep them as healthy as possible. Ash recommended Gel-X nails, which I've wanted to try for months! So happy I went with their recommendation on the gel-x! They were very knowledgeable, providing insight into the different steps gel-x require since it was my first time. So happy I was able to book an appointment last minute with Ash because nail art is in such demand now, and it's so hard to find an opening! Don't hesitate - book an appointment with Ash ASAP! I can't rave enough about the strength, design, and quality of these nails. And Ash, thank you so much for being so kind and thoughtful - even though I kept asking for more designs haha. Can't wait to come back in 3 weeks! read more

I started coming here as I was trying new salons and once I sat in Lauren's chair there was no going back to anyone else. I tell her my vision and she brings it to life even better that I could have imagined! I can always trust her with my nails and my experience is always comfortable and inviting. She does a fantastic gel x application and her painting skills are on point. Thanks for always making me feel pretty, Lauren! read more

I tried to call and make an appointment to have my nails done or maybe just two of them fixed. The person I spoke with was not only rude to me but also did not know the availability of any of the nail technicians. I also did not like the fact that I heard a person just stop in to the shop and was able to just walk in whereas I was calling to try and make an appointment but wasn't even given the time of day. I don't know if it were different because they were there, face to face, but still that was NOT cool. read more

I can't rave enough about Refine Nails - this is the only nail salon that I go to now. I've gotten my nails done in Korea a bunch of times, so my expectations are pretty high when it comes to nail art, and those expectations were rarely met at any of the nail salons I've been to in the US. I'm so happy I found Refine (also at a location so close to home) because Toni and Shelley blow me away every time! First, the quality of nail polishes they have are top notch. I have been to cheaper nail salons where gel manicures cost ranging anywhere between $25-$40, but they always chipped away within a few days that I would have to get a new set pretty often. The first time I went to Refine, I got a regular gel manicure without design and it lasted almost two weeks without a single chip. After perusing through Toni and Shelley's Instagram (definitely check them out), I decided to get designs on multiple occasions, and I've been happy every single time. I usually bring designs that I see from Instagram, but to be honest, I think I'd be happy to have Toni and Shelley get creative without bringing a specific design. They're EXTREMELY talented! The nail salon is SUPER cute too - everything is modern, luxurious, and most importantly, CLEAN. I always walk out in love with my nails and feeling pampered :) read more

Overpriced and you could honestly paint your nails better at home. Went in with a pic and 1) the color selection was off and 2) the nail art looked so bad that I asked that it be wiped off They gave me 20% off but now I'm left with a color swatch that looks dumb - a waste of money - I'll be paying more to go to my girl who does it right. In the meantime channeling the girl on tik tok - in her car, crying about her manicure & money not well spent read more

Refine Nails and Spa - What I got vs what I asked for - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been coming to this salon consistently since things first started opening up. Their COVID procedures are top notch - you will get temperature checked and asked to wash your hands. Everything is sanitized. I usually get a pedicure and have had a manicure twice. The work is always good. My heels are soft and my toes are polished flawlessly. Once, my polish smudged badly within a day. I called the salon and they had me come back and fixed it at no charge. They also disposed of the nail polish as well. I thought this was pretty great customer service. I like that I can schedule my appointments online and I honestly go with whoever is available. Have not had a bad experience yet. The salon itself is super cute and I love the decor. read more

Really disappointed with the pedicure here. I specifically made an appointment for the next tier of pedicure which included callus removal in the service description. Went for my pedicure on time, and right before my nail tech was going to apply the polish, I asked if they were going to file my calluses at all. The nail tech told me they don't perform any filing at all, which is baffling to me, since that's exactly what I booked for. I absolutely get salons that do a basic foot file and then charge extra for tough calluses. What I got was ZERO foot filing, so either that service description was wrong, or I didn't receive the service I booked and paid for. Total waste of $47 (excluding tips). I could have just painted my own toe nails. read more

Would give them zero starts but have to give one to submit the review. They don't accommodate any times outside of appointments, change their service based on the exact time slot of the appointment, and then charge you for cancelling because they can't actually deliver the service you scheduled the appointment for. Worst nail place I've been to across both coasts! read more

Booked an appointment and it was canceled stating I booked incorrectly. Yet, instead of calling or ask if it could be updated it was canceled. Great way to get access to new customers. read more

Refine Nails is one of the cutest salons I've been to here in Seattle. My appointment was with Ivy Tran and I couldn't be happier with the service. Attention to detail was paid, conversation wasn't forced, and I received a wonderful foot massage. I also had a pleasant interaction with the person that checked me out after my appointment, Kleu. I was trying to use a visa gift card I had received for my birthday and it kept getting declined. Kleu didn't make me feel embarrassed in the slightest and went above and beyond typing in the card info instead of simply swiping it. Great service overall, I look forward to returning. read more

I got to come in to this beautiful salon yesterday for a much needed pedicure after all my holiday shopping. I was immediately greeted when I came in the salon, met my nail technician who offered me a drink and she showed me to my comfy pedicure chair.

I enjoy this nail salon because the staff are friendly and it is easy to make an appointment online. The nail care has always met standards and cleanliness. I have visited both the 7th ave location as well as the Dexter location. About a total of 4 visits. But my issue and the reason for the only 3 stars is that my gel manicures never last more than a week. I personally think it is because of the nail polish brand they carry, Kiara Sky. My most recent manicure lasted 5 days before a massive chip appeared. When I go to other salons who carry Opi gel polish, the manicure lasts anywhere from 2-3 weeks depending on how often I am cooking and cleaning. I hope you have better luck than I do :) read more

I've been here three times now, and booked this as the "the olive (built to last gel). My appointment was on september 24th. not even two weeks later and they are already chipping /peeling. I have an appointment for acrylics i two weeks and was told to schedule a "gel removal" appointment before hand bc this would still be on but that seems unlikely. For a 58$ appointment and a built to last service, I would expect at LEAST 2 weeks, with no issues but this is ridiculous. read more

I used to go to the Refine on 7th regularly and would give that location a 5 star review (thank you Merina!). I can't say I feel the same after today. I booked an appointment originally for 4PM for my usual (my regular was a pedicure and gel manicure every 4 weeks on a Friday). I booked with the salon at the completion of each appointment. When I called in to confirm, they informed me my appointment was no where to be found. This is a bit disappointing as I book 4 weeks out all the time to ensure my appointment and work the holiday weekend coming up, everywhere is booked. I spoke some more and asked if they could have improperly booked me under someone else but she just said there were no appointments with my profile. I asked to speak to a manager (apparently the manager is the receptionist) and she said she was. I mentioned the specific date I booked my appointment but this did not matter apparently, even though I booked directly with my service provider. I will not be going back to this location - it is unfortunate since I just found a place I liked after moving up here. read more
