After moving to WA from CA, I had no idea where to start looking for a solid nail tech. Where I…read morecame from, the competition was tight with a nail shop literally on every corner, which meant prices were excellent, customer service was big, and they had to have at least one Superstar at every shop. With there being very limited supply of shops in WA (comparatively), it was a bit of a shock to see such outrageous pricing, horrible customer service, and minimal talent. After a few months I found modern nails and I was very happy with their service but it was a 30-minute drive for me, so I did what I thought was best and tried out a few other salons closer to me, in hopes of finding my Trifecta (talent, price, and customer service). Alas, it went horribly wrong throughout Ferndale and Bellingham, so I went crawling back to see Hannah at Modern Nails. I am kicking myself in the butt for not sticking to a tried and true technician. Hannah Is not only super sweet, but ultra talented. And I have paid much more for much less out here in the area. Moving forward it is a no-brainer, I will keep coming back! I highly recommend this shop, and Hannah specifically for acrylics, I cannot say enough about her meticulousness and eye for detail. Also, they offer these amazing complimentary beverages that are to die for, so don't be shy about asking. It's non-alcoholic, but that doesn't mean they're not fire or craft! Some of these other places I've been to offer a "mimosa" and it's literally Sunny D with flat champagne (yuck), At Modern Nails they are serving up virgin cocktails in styyyyle and fancy coffee beverages. With their talent and customer service, it's just a wonderful experience.

I chose white, but I kept telling her there was bubbles on the nails, so she would scrub off the top layer and put it on again. It was the white color that had the bubbles in the majority of the nails . She was careless in filing off the top layer and it hurt! I told her I had to go, and asked them not to charge for gel... and they refused! I paid $95 and left, frustrated and upset. After getting in my car, I realize the nails have weird shapes and completely uneven! I had to refile them to get them shaped and even when I got home. I can't wait to get them soaked off as the bubbles are driving me nuts!

She kept working on my face non stop. Literally non stop. Anti-aging treatment. Also gave me shoulder, neck, arms and hands massages. I felt she is knowledgeable what she is doing and my skin was so good after my treatment. Much firmer, clear and softer! Lynden may be a bit way from Bellingham downtown area. But it's worth going. I would go back to pamper myself again.

She doesn't do acrylics due to an allergy but if you're just looking to relax and get something simple done like gel or regular nail polish, I highly recommend going to see her. She also offers other services. She's so friendly and makes you feel comfortable. She took her time and gave great advice on how to care for my nails. Just like many business, she was greatly impacted by the pandemic and said she lost more than half of her business if not more since people didn't want to abide to the mask mandate and then did not return since so she very much appreciated our business. After she was done with my nails, she told me to close my eyes and enjoy the massage chair and just relax for a while. I appreciated more than she knows and will always go to her from now on.

I recently had a pedicure at my first nail salon in Oak Harbor, and it wasn't the best experience…read more I rarely get pedicures myself, so I was really hoping for a good one. The owner suggested I put my feet in the water while she picked my color, but I wish she had asked me to pick a color beforehand. I told her I wanted pink, but she ended up using red. Also, I wanted to warn everyone who's considering a pedicure there that she doesn't file nails or remove dead skin from your feet. I paid a lot for something I could easily do myself at home. Plus, I noticed she missed a lot of spots on the nail polish, which didn't look professionally done. It was very disappointing. She also asked how much I was tipping her in front of another customer and had me walk barefoot to her machine while my foot nails were drying. I would give no stars if I could, I'm definitely not going back to this salon.

They proceeded to give me a bowl with acetone in in and stuck my hands in the bowl. At this point, I should have just got up and left but as the lady was already working on my pedicure. The pedicure was average and she did not apply and base coat and I had to ask about the top coat. Also, no liner for the foot bath. Needless to say, this is 2 days post visit and 3 of my toenails and 1 of my nails have chipped (on average my nails last 2 weeks and toenails until the next visit). On a positive, the personnel were polite. I like to support local business and hope my visit was just an off day for them.
