I I had my first Gel-X appointment here and absolutely love my nails! I got them done for an upcoming vacation, and at first I wasn't sure about the shape (it wasn't exactly what I asked for). Since it was my first time, I wanted to sit with it for a day and see how I felt. When I reached out, the salon was so kind and quick to get me back in to adjust them. Mandy took great care of me and made sure the shape was exactly what I wanted before I left. I really appreciated how attentive and accommodating everyone was. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I visited Royal Nails in early November for a pre-vacation treat. I normally do my own nails, but had researched salons that offer builder gel manicures and found this place thanks to its good ratings and reviews. Booking was easy, so I was optimistic. Unfortunately, things went downhill once I arrived. The technician assigned to my manicure couldn't find the color I'd chosen, so I picked another without issue. But then the staff seemed confused about my services (builder gel mani + shellac pedi). Instead of checking my reservation, they kept asking me repeatedly, which didn't inspire confidence. One of my biggest pet peeves is getting a mani and pedi at the same time, and that's exactly what happened. Two different techs worked on me at once, leaving me tense, twisted in awkward positions, and definitely not feeling pampered. Communication was also difficult since neither technician spoke English, and they mostly chatted among themselves or checked their phones. The quality was the biggest letdown. The pedi was mediocre but passable. The manicure, however, was terrible -- thick, uneven layers that made my nails look bulky and boxy instead of the delicate square shape I arrived with. The gel started peeling within a week, and after removal I realized how damaged my natural nails were, likely from over-aggressive drilling. I paid $150 (including a generous tip), and honestly wish I'd just done my nails myself. Based on other reviews and photos, I believe some technicians here do great work -- but that wasn't my experience. To top it off, the woman greeting customers spent the morning filing her own nails and speaking with her mouth full when new customers walked in, which felt unprofessional. Sadly, my nails will take several months to recover. I won't be returning. read more

Been a loyal customer for about 2 years. Generally happy with the service I receive. Recently I notice they don't pay the same attention to detail I'm used to. Their work feels rushed and I see errors that didn't use to happen. They consistently seem understaffed and most people sit. The wait times they give are seldom accurate. I wouldn't bother making an appointment because chances are they won't be able to honor the time. Best bet is walk in and hope they have time. read more

Back again and loving it as always. The staff at Royal Nails never disappoint. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly skilled. From clean workstations to flawless results, every visit feels relaxing and professional. They truly care about quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend them for consistently beautiful nails and a great experience every time. read more

When I got there, the workers started yelling at each other in Vietnamese, which made me uncomfortable because I didn't understand what they were saying or arguing about. Then, a person who seemed to be the owner or manager patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "That's enough." I felt bad because I wasn't sure if she even understood what they were saying. Anyway, my nail technician was very rough. She made my toe bleed, and the edge of my toe nails are not clean at all! Not even. When I told her I wasn't happy about it, she just kept digging and digging, and I was in pain. I told her to stop, but she didn't understand me and kept going. It was not a good experience. When I got home, I realized the edge of my toenail was peeling off. Now, I'm traveling to Sicily with these ugly nails with bandaid on one of my toe, and I'm really unhappy about it. Hope I don't get infection. The manager was nice to listen my complain. read more

I went to Royal Nails for a gel builder manicure and a chrome pedicure on Sept 12 for my Sept 13 wedding, and they're still going strong! Mandy (the owner) did my manicure and absolutely nailed recreating my dream wedding nails from the inspo pic I showed her. Mary did my pedicure and the chrome held up beautifully--even through multiple walks on the sand during my honeymoon. Both did such an awesome job. 100% recommend! read more

Everytime I come here I walk out with so much anger and regret that I even considered them. I live so close and it's convenient when I'm on a time crunch. I walked in for pedicure only with about 1 hour and 20 minutes before they closed. I called before and the woman who picked up the phone was nice and told me to come in. Standard experience of pick your color and sit in the chair. Unfortunately I did not get any type of consult on my service because the woman who did my pedicure went straight to chopping my toenails. Clipped my big toe down before I could even tell her I like my big toe to be squared. Now I'm flying on vacation with horrible toe nail shapes cut all the way down to my skin. $55 wouldn't seem like such a waste if you'd just consult the client for a minute. Yes you could argue I could have spoken up, my big toe was already clipped off. I was in and out in 35-40 minutes and they were surprised I did not tip. I will always pay for service but I am not one to tip when I am unsatisfied with the service. Unfortunately I will not be returning for as long as I live near by. The ladies in here are nice, but the results just don't match the service in my experience. read more

Royal Nails is truly the best nail salon in Seattle. They offer the largest selection of vibrant gel colors, have the friendliest staff, and feature some incredibly talented artists. I've been going to this salon for a couple of years now, and I honestly don't know how I managed without them before! Last week, I went in to get festive Christmas nails, and Hannah did a fabulous job, adding her own touch to the ideas I shared. Check out this place--you won't be disappointed! read more

Paid $100 before tip for the GELX "super durable" nails. Staff was lovely when I got it done. Just happened to notice the sign in the bathroom stating it could be fixed for free within 2 weeks. Came back 4 days later for a repair, had to show them on my phone where I paid for it a few days earlier (despite myself being easily recognizable, and having virtually no nail growth). And then waited for 30 minutes for someone to fix it. Was not pleased, at all. Wish I had something better to report. read more

I recently moved to the area and love this place! Super affordable and amazing service. Today I made an appointment for 6pm and they were a little behind schedule, but made it up to me with an amazing manicure experience. Worth the wait! Everyone here is so nice and always do my nails perfectly. They take their time and it shows. I just get gel/shellac on my nails, but they make them look as good as acrylics! One thing I love about Royal Nails is their online booking. It's so easy and you know exactly how much your service will cost before you go in. Nothing worse than showing up and getting a bunch of unknown fees added on. I also appreciate how clean it is every time i'm there. I would give this place an 11/10 if I could. I work down in Federal Way but I race back here after to do my nails because it's truly the best. Recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Been going to Royal for years and love their location and customer service but last week they truly WOW'd me. Sadly I had a full set of nails fall off within a week and they not only got me all fixed up but also gave me a gift card to apologize for the inconvenience. They were super sweet, helped me figure out why it could have happened - since that had never happened before, and fit me right in. Thank you thank you for your kindness, support, and for going above and beyond! read more

Highly recommend avoiding this place for regular mani / pedis. I've come twice and both times have left with overly trimmed cuticles that lead to weeks of hang nails. This most recent time she cut my cuticle so badly I had a scab and it was in severe pain on my trip. They also rush you without listening or asking for what you'd like. I'm okay with a speedier appointment but then don't charge the same prices as other places nearby that do a much better job. I won't be coming back. read more

Very welcoming and friendly customer service. The atmosphere here is quite relaxing. I'd recommend this nail salon and I think I'll be back here again. read more

My sister and I had mani/ pedi here yesterday. First they did not open a new kit of tools us and they just used what were there on their table. They both cut our toes nails very short and the filing was painful and also they cut my sister toe and she started to bleed, they did not do anything and I was kept telling them to disinfect it and she was just pressing the wound with not really clean hands. Today my sister is in so much pain and the wound looks bad. I asked for a french manicure, and they did it so bad. My hand nails were so uneven and in different lenths. Also it chipped just after one day. read more

Kathy who did my nails was incredibly rude to me, mumbling under the breath the entire time and aggressively doing my nails. She was giving me mean looks throughout the entire process. Couldn't for the life of me understand why she was acting that way, I think she was frustrated with the removal process of gel builder that I got done at this salon. I almost left before it was over but I let her finish. She stormed off without a word to me when she was finished. I've had two bad experiences here. I will definitely not be back. read more

Turquoise gradient nails, a basic set for me after my last long coffin nails that were bedazzled with emerald rhinestones, holographic green and gold accents! Those lasted for over 3 weeks before I decided to let them go- they would've last longer my nails were just a little grown out. These guys are the Seattle nail GOAT! They do it all and can whip up any level of design I never have breakage and if any jewels come off they always replace them read more
