She has a private salon in Ballard and her salon was very clean and modern. There were her sample art and I was amazed her anime designs.

I received so many compliments at starbucks and at grocery store and I'm so happy that my nail is very cute and different from everybody else's ! Thank you so much Maya!

Do not recommend this place at all. I havent written a review in so long but I feel the need to…read morecall this place out. My biggest regret is not checking the yelp page and seeing the other reviews. This is the last time I will fall for an Instagram ad... TLDR this place is a price gouging SCAM This place is ridiculously overpriced. I got a hard gel manicure with a design on my NATURAL nails and it cost me $210... ridiculous. Keep in mind when I booked online it was $80 + design. Who could've known my *complicated* French nails would be an extra $130... There are many hidden fees including MANDATORY 20% gratuity that they are not upfront about at all The manicure prep was odd itself. No cuticle pushing or soaking... and she clipped the cuticles after apply the gel base already?? Lots of messy paint of skin and chips as well... I'm not saying the women here aren't talented, but I think they're charging way too much for designs you can get anywhere. I was quoted a price and then halfway through the set she changed the design on me. I wanted to leave but obviously as she had started painting I couldn't just walk out Not to mention... the brand of nail polish and hard gel being used isn't even salon quality.... It's BEETLES brand which is available on Amazon I also want to say as someone who understands Vietnamese this place is incredibly rude and disrespectful. Hearing them discuss rates so causally based on the client and not an actually system was jarring. So unprofessional I'm incredibly frustrated and this place makes me not want to ever get my nails done again. First time I've ever left a nail appointment almost in tears

This place did a great job! And I was able to find street parking not too far from it, which is…read morealways a plus. I came by to have my nails done nautical style before a cruise, and the technician (?) was able to nail the design I wanted! They didn't do the cuticle fixing like I assumed they would. (I did get a bit of sticker shock upon seeing the price, since I'd never done it before... that "price varies" thing is really sneaky!) The only thing I really didn't like was how small it was and how strong the chemical smell in the room was (exacerbated by how small it was). If you're not too concerned about price and don't have a sensitive nose, I think this is a nice place.

For the pedicure, she took extra care to get my toenails and cuticles looking perfect. After that came an exfoliating scrub, lotion and oil massage AND a hot stone rub. This was all part of the Basic package. (The Deluxe had two more treatments!) It's a small shop, with four massage spa chairs and three workstations. I happened to walk in at 2 o clock on a Thursday and I was immediately followed by two other women. Two more came in within 15 minutes and decided to wait the half hour. A party of four decided not to wait 40 minutes (it probably would have been more like an hour) for the five of us to finish. I should say it was just before forth of July. They do take appointments and I think I'll call ahead even if only by an hour or two to guarantee a spot. Final note: they have a punch card!! $5 off every fifth service. Yay! I'll be back later this summer!

I hate giving anything less than 5 stars, and I had a lovely time talking to my nail tech Thomas…read more But I probably wouldn't come back here. Thomas was so nice but the quality of my shellac manicure/pedicure was not good. I paid $80 for a service I wouldn't recommend to a friend, which is why I wanted to share this review. It was a cold day so I asked the nail tech to turn up the heat in the foot spa. He felt it briefly and said "it's warm" and wouldn't increase the temperature. This also may seem a little odd, but he didn't put nearly enough lotion on his rubber gloves so when rubbing lotion into my feet it just felt like squeaky wet rubber up & down my legs? Very uncomfortable. The manicure was probably the worst part. He didn't ask how I wanted my nails shaped and didn't trim the edges/cuticles of my nails. He didn't file or buff, just cut them. (And cut them down pretty short.) There was *a lot* of extra polish left around the edges of my fingers at the end. Even when I pointed out to him where there were areas he needed to fix, he said "Oh, it's ok" and didn't fix. And again, there was the weird rubber glove issue. I almost didn't want him to lotion my arms at all cause it felt so squeaky and uncomfortable! The polish color selection just wasn't great. And lastly... the manicure just barely lasted any time at all! The gel on one full nail just peeled off within 48 hours. They were all chipped or gone by 10 days. For personality and friendliness, I'd give these lovely folks 5 stars. And after I cleaned up the cuticles myself, they didn't look bad from a distance. But for value I would not recommend.

I'm so glad I learned about Jaelene through a couple of my friends tagging her in their nails pics…read moreon IG. I started seeing her back in July, and really wanted to get a shell inspired manicure for my Cancun trip. I showed her a couple reference pics and gave her the freedom to design. Let me tell you, Jaelene exceeded my expectations! I love that she added a coat of glow in the dark so my nails glowed in the dark at the wedding and the 3D shell detailing was perfect! I also enjoy that Jaelene provides a 1:1 experience at her studio, where I don't feel rushed or distracted. Ever since I started seeing Jaelene, I get a lot of compliments on my nails. I'm currently digging my new set of chrome nails. I initially wanted it to match my silver chrome purse. I appreciate Jaelene giving feedback on which shade to go with because they shine so bright! I look forward to my next appointment and see what Jaelene will do next. I highly recommend seeing her if you're looking for fun nails! Also, Jaelene's studio is conveniently located near RT 40 and 44 if you choose to bus it here. And there's complimentary parking if you prefer to drive over.

Jaelene offered me bottled water and asked if I was comfortable. I showed her a picture for inspiration and it was exactly what I wanted. Ended with massage and she made sure to moisturize and use cuticle oil. I will definitely be coming back for a mani and pedi! There's free designated parking at the parking garage on the same block!

I've been going to Jo for a few years now, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else!…read more The biggest thing I've noticed is how healthy my natural nails are. They're strong, don't bend, and rarely break, which I credit to the care she puts into every appointment. She never rushes and always pays attention to the details. Jo is also incredibly talented. During my wedding era, we went through what felt like every bridal nail option possible while I spiraled over finding the perfect shade, and she was patient through all of it. Whether it's a simple set or a more intricate design, she can make your vision happen. What really sets her apart is how well she listens and remembers your preferences. She knows what shades I tend to like, remembers things I haven't loved in the past, and even little details like not wanting my natural nail to show through the dip. It makes every appointment feel personalized, and I never feel like just another client. On the rare occasion I break a nail (which is usually my own fault), she's always found a way to squeeze me in and fix it. Her customer service is truly above and beyond. And as a bonus, she's great company. If you want to chat the entire appointment, she'll happily yap with you. If you'd rather relax quietly, she's just as comfortable with that. She really matches your energy. If you're looking for someone who is talented, attentive, and genuinely cares about her clients and the health of their nails, I highly recommend Jo
