Went with a friend to fix my chipped toe nail and removed the old gel acrylic on my toenails, they were growing out so needed a fresh look. Their selection of polish was okay. I wished they were more gentle in removing the gels with the tool (that vibration seemed harsher than usual). Other than that, the massage chairs were nice. The foot bath, scrub and foot massage with lotion were my fav part. I'm glad the toenails turned out nice. Needed to freshen up before the wedding in London next week. read more

I just moved to the area and I wanted to get my nails done. The artist was nice, but the gel I got on my nails looked like I had done it myself at home, and some of it got on my skin and it peeled off sections of the gel on my nails when it came off. My nails are peeling off and I just got this done a few days ago. I paid $70 for something that hasn't even lasted a week. I'm pretty upset and I definitely won't be back. Very poor quality for the price. read more

I came here for a pedicure and dip manicure. The lady was on her phone the entire time and did not pay any attention to me. It was $80 for a regular pedicure and dip nails. She didn't even touch my cuticles on my hands...and didn't really clean up the dip so it was crusty all around my fingers. My pedicure was just fine. But unfortunately I won't be back. read more

I've been here before but this time it was such a horrible experience. I said I wanted pink french nails which is the most simple nail design possible. instead of using polish remover to perfect the white line she insisted on hand drawing the line and it looked horrible. I asked if someone else could do my nails and the old lady doing my hands said no, I was more impressed by the NEW girl who did my toes perfectly by using the nail polish remover technique. She rushed and left my nails lumpy, uneven, and didn't even offer to fix them. She just argued with me instead of letting the other girl who did my toes also do my hands. I left angry and dissatisfied and when I expressed that she didn't even care or apologize! read more

Great service! Comes with a short massage which is always nice. Accommodates walk ins as well as appointments. Convenient location with lots of street parking. My gel nails lasted a long time! read more

Absolutely awful customer service. The nail tech was rushed the whole time, my whole pedicure was no more than 10 min. I also had to ask them to change their gloves between other customers. Absolute horrific experience read more

Probably one of the worst nail places I've been to. They're angry people. They yank your hands forwards. The place was boiling. They made my friend wait an hour even though they said we could both go at the same time. They cut a finger on my left hand, and it bled, and they barely said sorry. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

$33 for a gel manicure which is a great price as far as I'm aware. It lasted forever! It has not been peeling off in 2 weeks, it's been awesome. Everything seems COVID-safe. read more

This is our neighborhood nail salon and I always enjoy visiting. It's no frills but good quality for the price. I love the massage with the manicure. Relaxing and enjoyable traditional nail salon. read more

I am so disappointed. I understand that short nails are quite challenging to polish and take some time, however with the right amount of skill it can be done. The gel manicure I received, although costing $33, was sloppy. I still have polish on my skin even after I asked for additional filing and cleaning. read more

Tenth Avenue Nails - Poor polish application. The polish on my pinkie nail is on my skin. - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My go-to nail spot! Always has the friendliest service and nails turn out beautiful each time. Susan's the best :)

We've come here as a couple 5-6 times over two years for mani-pedi, and it's always been just fine. My wife's toenail paintings have been perfectly OK. I enjoy the generous time given over to foot & calf massage. All of our technicians have been nice people read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for 12+ years! Susan is amazing and runs a tight ship! Excellent value! Thank you. It's our favorite! read more

I've had two toe infections from cuts here. I lost my big toenail from one of them. Tried the place again a couple years later. Fool me once..... read more

This is definitely my top nail salon in Seattle. I have been going here for awhile now and there's a reason! The staff there is so friendly, detail oriented and timely. I have gotten both gel and dip here and they make sure your nails stay healthy and is exactly what I want. The salon is really good about appointments and making sure they have enough time for you so there's no rush on the art. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Great value for the quality. Friendly staff. Everything looks clean. Did mani and pedi.

Everyone who has done my nails the past few months at this location have been nothing but professional and kind. Always can count on my gel manicure lasting three weeks or even the month, really appreciate their shoulder massages as well! Great value for the price. read more

I went here for my first time mostly just needing some relaxation and the massage chair. I felt very rushed along as my right foot wasn't even allowed 30 seconds to soak before she started the pedicure. She cut my cuticles on two toes which are now red and gnarly. My manicure turned out fine though. Just would've liked her to be more careful. I think it was the owner too read more

This is the worst nail salon experience I've ever had. I live near by and decided to check this place out hoping it could become my new local go-to spot but I was wrong. They cut two of my fingers that KEPT bleeding even after I left. Not to mention at check out (no discount for cutting two of my fingers) they kept swiping my card which lead to multiple charges on my credit card that took forever to go away. What a headache. Don't come here. I'm just happy I didn't get an infection. read more

Best mani/pedi I have ever had! Friendly service from the start. The deluxe pedicure is the way to go! You get an hour+ of pampering and massage. They pay close attention to detail, everything is VERY clean, and their color selection is extensive. Worth every penny. Make sure to make an appointment! read more

Great place for nails!! I love every manicure from here and today's was by far the best!! Plus it's only $5 extra to add a design total! Most places charge per nail but Tenth Ave Nails has a flat fee AND their designs are the best I've had in Seattle. read more

I had a manicure pedicure while in town visiting my daughter. Excellent job! They are beautiful. I will definitely return next time I'm in Seattle. read more

I recently got acrylic nails again (relatively decent but nothing to write home about, at a different salon) and broke two and damaged two while cleaning my house. I came in as a walk-in for a fill (and to have the busted ones fixed) because I have a job interview tomorrow and I couldn't really go in for that when my nails were a hot mess. My nails look INCREDIBLE! Ho (I hope I spelled her name right - I'm terrible with names) gave me the most incredible nails I've ever had. Not only are my broken ones replaced, but the ones that were all effed-up and cracked look completely new again. But the thing about which I am most impressed is that she is a true artist - my nails look so thin and delicately sculpted that it's hard to tell they're not real. But even though they look delicate, they're rock solid. I will definitely be a return customer for my maintenance - I loved getting my mani/pedis here but now that I know my fake nails will look amazing, I'm not going to go anywhere else to get them done. Everyone there is super nice. If you're looking for an incredible, affordable full set of acrylics, Ho at 10th Ave Nails is the one to see! read more

Very sweet, but they motioned me out of the chair before the clear coat dried, so it smeared. Sitting in the corner chair forced me to awkwardly reach one arm across my body so she could do the other hand. It felt rushed even though only one person came in after me. read more

Pros: I was able to call in 30 minutes prior and get a fill and a pedi. It only cost me $44 before tip. My nails looked great and the color is awesome. The lady who did my pedicure was sweet but didn't speak English. Cons: The tools were not cleaned after every use. They were grabbed from a plastic container and wiped on a towel before use (ew). The main lady filed my nails SO fast with the electric filer that I was genuinely scared she would really hurt me if she nicked my finger. read more

Jessica R was right, it is dirty. Plus there is only one nail drier for three people, uneven cutting on the nails, and disinterested staffers. What a waste! I'm not a girlie girl -- maybe others could see the warning signs? read more

I gave this place 5 chances because it's so close to my house, they do a decent though slow job, and the prices are reasonable...until you have cuticles cut down to the point of bleeding 3 out of the 5 visits (2 of those times I mentioned that they be very careful after the first time I bled in English and Vietnamese) and manicurists who talk shit about you in a language she thinks you don't understand when you politely ask her to fix a sloppily painted nail. After calmly waiting for her to finish repainting my nail I let her know that I understood what she said about me since I grew up speaking Vietnamese. (To my face in English she said oh yeah, I'll fix that for you honey tell me and I'll fix it in a sweet as pie voice and in Vietnamese told her coworkers I was making things difficult and hard to deal with when it didn't look that bad.) She immediately went quiet and barely made eye contact when taking my payment. Needless to say I did not tip for my mani that day and it was the very last time I will go there. read more

Watch you debit/credit card, fraudulent activity from this business!!! I have been going to 10th AVE nails for about four years. I went this week and they charged me twice on the same day. I figured they just made a mistake, and went back to tell them. One of the charges dropped off the next day. Then TWO days after my pedicure, I was charged again, the same amount. I had to close my debit account and report fraudulent activity. If you have the same experience close your account immediately and report. So sad because I have been going to this place for years.......guess I will always use cash if I choose to go again. read more

Not anymore my favorite place :( Looks Luke they've gotten busy and they don't spend enough time anymore. They've also hired some inexperienced ones who take so long and don't know what they are doing. read more

I love going to 10th Ave Nails. Been going to them for the last 3 years..mostly in the summer time. The owner Susan is super nice. The price is very good for their service. I got a mani-pedi yesterday for only $32. They have these big comfy leather massage chairs. I maybe biased because I haven't really been to other nail salons b/c this place is so close to me. It is a clean nail salon but doesn't have all the frills of an upscale place. I've been mostly happy with all my manicures and pedicures. Their nail colors selection could use a bit updating. Everytime I come in, it's pretty much the same colors. I usually stick to a French mani-pedi but I got an OPI red this time. I don't think waxing is their forte. I had them wax my eyebrows once and it was ok..not great, but she didn't ruin my eyebrows either. I would just stick to the inexpensive mani-pedis and try to go during happy hour (9:30-2pm). read more

I decided to try Tenth Avenue Nails after the "Happy Hour" sign had been calling my name for months. The prices at Tenth Avenue Nails are cheap at any hour, but the $28 manicure/pedicure ($18 pedicure) during Happy Hour (9:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.) is insanely cheap! As many other reviewers have said, this is a no frills nail salon. The color selection leaves something to be desired. I brought my own polish for my fingers, which was good because the selection of neutrals was limited. The salon seems very clean and the service was quick. The quality of the mani/pedi was pretty average for a cheap nail salon. The massage was fine but not amazing, and my toenails turned out ever so slightly crooked. The younger woman who did my manicure did an awesome job! I will definitely be coming back to Tenth Avenue Nails when I can sneak out for the Happy Hour. read more

Great place for a super quick, attentive, and reasonably priced mani/pedi. They have a discounted price from 9-2pm for $30. They were really busy when I was there and yet they gave each person tons of attention. read more

I too am surprised at the negative reviews. Maybe there's new ownership? I've been coming here for a year since I moved into the neighborhood for shellac mani, acrylic nails and regular pedicures. I've never had an issue and I am super picky. Ladies are nice, professional and price is good for the quality service you get. read more

I stopped in a few weeks ago in desperate need of a manicure. The winter cold had turned my cuticles into a dry mess. This spot is close to my house, so I was happy when I walked in and they could get me started with no wait. There were no customers and three ladies watching TV. * The salon was HOT. I was sweating. That wasn't great. * Their was no attention to detail at all. My cuticles were still a mess and the paint was totally uneven / missing around the edges * Their dryer was a small hand held fan that she pointed at my hands after she was done. :( It was certainly a good price, but not a good result. I'd rather pay a few more bucks for a decent manicure. read more

I got here at 9:45 am on a Thursday morning for their $30 mani/pedi Happy Hour deal. The mani/pedi took about an hour. The whole experience was a little bit stressful. When I walked in, two women sitting on the waiting couch gave me quizzical looks before waving me towards the polishes to choose a color (OPI or a few Essie bottles) when I said mani/pedi. Every guest that came in after me did get a "hello, how can I help you?" though. No one at the salon is fluent was English. I brought my own ridge-filling base coat (Seche Vite) and gel-like, quick dry top coat (Julep), but had trouble getting them to use them. Because of the language barrier, I had to point out which was the base coat and which was the top coat multiple times. The woman doing my mani forgot to use them before I asked, then the woman doing my pedi tried to put the top coat on before the color! I stopped her, but it took a minute of protesting before another staff member eventually understood what I was saying (base coat, color, THEN top coat, duh!) and translated for me. Pedi turned out fine, but my mani (a light pink) is a bit streaky. My nail shaping was fine. The shoulder and hand massage is awkward, and the environment is clean, if a bit bare. They did spend a lot of time on my hiking/climbing-worn feet and cuticles, but overall, I wouldn't go back. read more

Rusty tools, impatient, uneven crooked full set. Very rude when I told her she was hurting me. Not worth it. Obviously talking shit about you the whole time. read more

On the plus side, this place is clean and friendly. And clean goes a long way. Also, I liked the bonus 2-minute shoulder/neck massage they provided with the mani-pedi. On the minus side, I was not impressed with my services. The person doing my mani cut my cuticle too far and it bled. The person doing my pedi completely phoned in the leg/feet massage. It was like getting a massage from a stoned toddler. And the whole experience was super slow. Plus, I had to wait at least 15 minutes soaking in the water, which would have been OK had I been warned in advance. I think a lot of what you get here depends on who you get. A mixed bag to be sure. read more

I really hate to write such a negative review, but I have given this place so many chances and every single time I leave wishing I had done my nails myself. Tran is the only one who can paint your nails without getting it all over your cuticles. Everyone else paints like it's their first time. I have to ask them to make sure my nails are evenly filed and even that seems to be too much to ask. They are extremely rude and constantly talk about you if you ask them to redo something that you're not happy with. If you like your nails evenly filed and painted without having to clean up every nail, I wouldn't go here. read more

As far as cheapo nails go, Tenth Ave Nails gets my thumbs up (and I have tried a lot of nail places in Seattle!!). This is really a no frills place but they do a GREAT job with both mani's and pedi's. Plus the polish stays on my nails and doesn't chip off easily! The massage chairs are also a bonus. The mani-pedi is $32 and it is worth it. The place is clean and the ladies are very nice. read more

I am a no frills girl but when I do want to splurge I always go to 10th Avenue for their cheap mani-pedi. They do an arm/leg massage, the massage chairs are delightful and they do a good solid french tip. Even though I've always just walked in, I've never waited for more than 5 minutes to get started and the employees are courteous, professional and efficient. read more
