Place is clean and nice. The reason for the low stars are below. 1. I stopped in for a regular pedi and full set. Once my pedi was complete and i was getting my full set, i was told that i got a 45+ dollar pedi which is not what i asked for. The tech got very defensive after i told her that i did not ask for that. 2. My nails were not shaped or done as i asked. The woman who did the acrylic ALS filling was great, but the woman who painted them (Same as my pedi) was terrible. Her work was very bad. I ended up having to go to another shop to have my nails fixed to avoid arguing with them. All in all, it You come in to get a pedi, please express to them which ones you want until they fully understand. If not they will over charge you. My simple full set w/gel and a regular pedi with gel cane out to 115 dollars. Nothing special on them just plain. Highly disappointed.
I have to take a second and write about how amazing this place is! First I wanna say that the owner is so sweet and always makes sure everyone is taken care of. They offer drinks and candy which is a level of customer service most nail salons don't have. Hanh (not sure if I'm spelling it right lol) did my nails pictured here. Let me just say that he is the only one who has ever gotten the shape I want perfectly. I have a couple crooked fingers and he managed to make them all look even and perfectly square. He was super funny and kept a conversation going the whole time which I really appreciated and made the experience even better! Definitely recommend this place and definitely ask for Hanh!
This is my 4th time going here. I go because the customer service is good. They offer candy and drinks and the guy is super nice. Generally the place is overpriced, but for good customer service and good quality I was willing to pay. Today, however was a different experience. The nail technician I had cut my thumb cuticle, it was bleeding so bad and stung like hell! She then continued to put acetone on all my nails including the bloody cuticle one. She acted like it was no big deal and kind of giggled, but didn't even say sorry for cutting me. She was rough with me the whole time. When she proceeded w the manicure she used a used cuticle nipper. Sanitation at this place is now questionable to me. The lady who did shellac on my daughter did good, but she just put gel polish on her. Shellac 10yr old $15 $5 to take my acrylic off And $25 for my white gel which she put about 6 layers of polish on. I tipped $2 for the lady that did my daughters nails. Most painful experience to get my nails done at. I will not be going back here after today...
They have really good shellac products at this location. The owner, Tom is very welcoming and can carry a good conversation. Pricing is pretty average for the area. I have noticed that it is more of a talkative environment so if you're going for a retreat away, you may consider another place.
I would rate 2.5 if I could but only because my nails looked perfect. I don't remember the name of the woman who did them. I am new to Kent so I have been scouring a new nail spot. Here is why I have them a low rating and will not return: 1. Price: over the phone I was quoted $30 for acrylic fill and shellac. They also charge a $3 for using a credit card. My biggest shock was that they charge an additional al $3 for matte top! That's ridiculous in my opinion. So I hashed out a total of $37 for something I've gotten $12 cheaper for in other spots 2. Pain: as you can see in the pictures, I had cuts in my cuticles due to the technicians carelessness. I have never felt so uncomfortable getting my nails done. I would not say I was in writhing pain, but it's was uncomfortable pain, and she knew I kept jerking my hands, but continued her technique. (I still tipped her too!) The funny thing is that she was not aggressive with her technique, and she did a beautiful job with my nails! She just hurt the heck out of my cuticles. Glad I didn't get an infection. Save to say I won't be back. It's a shame. My nails have never looked so good! :/
I came in desperate to remove my shellac that I got at my spot in Woodinville. I was supposed to go to a party and wanted the shellac off and just get a regular mani with standard nail polish. I called ahead and was able to squeeze me in. I was greeted by who I think was the owner and was quickly taken to the regular nail polish wall to pick out my color. I was then sat with whom I believe his wife (she didn't have the standard white coat on like the other girls and when I was finished, a customer wanted her to do her nails as she was about to start a pedicure). They offered me water, coke or sprite, I obviously took sprite :) Thought that was nice. Anyway, She was really nice, I've only had shellac removed once before so I don't recall how it went, but she started off filing the gel off and then put a cotton ball and acetone, wrapped it in foil and let it sit for a little bit before soaking my nails in water, then clipping and filing down to my desired length. I mean, it probably took 30 or so minutes, costing me only $17.50? I was shocked to hear how low it was for both the shellac removal and the manicure w/ polish. The place itself was super girly, very, very girly. Chandeliers, pink, pink, pink! There is one big screen tv for when you're getting your pedicure done, I couldn't see from where I was sitting (by the entrance). The place was quiet when I came in, people just leaving as they were done. But within what felt like 10 minutes, the place was full up again, people waiting in the chairs for their turn. I love my girls in Woodinville and won't replace them at all, even if this place is closer. But I know where to go when I need my shellac removed and too lazy to do it myself.
Came in on Fourth of July , they took me in right away even though they were very busy that day Very generous place offer drinks and all pedi chairs have massage built in, I've been here once before for removal and fix from crappy place they did a great job that time too These ladies all do good work and simply tell them what you want and they do it I can't wait to come back! Worth your $$
For starters, the spa has a nice atmosphere. It's cute, comfy, they offer you free candy + drinks, employees are nice and they'll be likely strike up a conversation with you. For this set I paid 70 bucks, and although they did use a good shellac and put a design which both cost extra, i don't think that these nails are worth what i paid. Generally, I do think the nails are very pretty but I wish there was more attention to detail because when you look closely there's a a lot of unevenness, and acrylic + cured shellac under my nails. But for the most part they look good, quality and build not great. The process of getting my nails done was relaxing and I never felt any pain when they used the drills which is expected but nice, they also put cuticle oil on me after everything was done.
I went here the other day for a mani pedi based on the reviews here. First , the pedi was very good. comfortable chairs, clean, and the gal doing it did a wonderful job. The manicure on the other hand was the opposite. I had asked for a full acrylic set with an almond shape. I needed them short as I type cpnstaufor work and she told me no and they would have to be long to keep the shape. She also over filed my cuticles and nail beds. Half of my cuticles were bleeding when she was finished. One in particular is still really torn up. The acrylic nails were entirely too long and I filed them down when I got home to a more manageable length. IF you do end up going here, don't go on the weekend as they are busy and really rush through the clients.
I had a really great experience at this salon. Saw this place had great reviews on yelp so I called ahead asking for prices and if they were available. Came in 10 mins after calling and came at the perfect time. Was not busy and had a great mani/pedi that was relaxing and did not feel rushed like some other places tend to. Right away I was offered a beverage and some candy. The staff are all friendly and did not spend too much time trying to converse which is something I appreciate when getting my nails done. Would definitely come back and recommend this place. The only reason this review isn't a perfect 5 stars is because I asked for almond shape nails and a few of them were more squared than almond, but I was able to shape the few when I got home.
I went here as a suggestion from my bff and her nails are always looking GREAT. But I think I just came on a bad day or Something. She filed too close to my nail bed so it hurt really bad on my Pinky and exposed my nail bed(almost bleeding) And while they painted my nails they didn't cover the sides and when I told her she said I know and didn't cover them still? So..... idk. Kinda disappointed being as this is my first time getting a pedicure let alone a manicure. Also I'm Vietnamese and they were talking maaaaad crap about everyone and the lady working on my nails was a little over the top. A group of kids came in and dropped a bottle of polish and she was like lucky I wasn't over there I would've punched a hole in his neck and blah blah blah it got worse but oh well. She even over charged me. My friend got very long nails with me today and I wanted my kind shirt and she charged me 30 bucks. And based on what my friend said that's not normal and she's never had to pay that much. They kinda just talk among eachother and pick out the prices but yeah not the best place in my Opinion.

I don't suggest this place at all. Way over priced. 50 for a full set. $65 for a "custom design" full set which consisted of a single white stripe on one nail.....what?!?!?!? They are very slow and did a horrible job. I bet they won't last a week. read more

I'm okay with my shellac French tips but there are several tiny air bubbles. Due to wrong application. Bothers me but over all okay with the visit. 33$ shellac. *update just washed my hand after getting them done and it started to peel. I'm so upset! This shouldn't be happening! Never ever ever ever EVER doing shellac here again!!!!! read more

I came in for a basic color change and the lady fucked up my previous nail shape today. So disappointed. I made them give me a discount, cause what is this? I won't be back. She didn't even try to shape them how I had them. These are all different shapes. Horrible horrible horrible. read more

First visit here, i love the layout and the fact that there are complementary drinks and candy and wine for $15, but I got a lot of mean looks from a bunch of the ladies there, but I got my fair share of smiles. I got French tips on my toes and I had a crack in my toe and she sprinkled some acrylic attempting to fix it, if she would've use more I feel like she could've completely fixed it but there was still a gap separating my real nail from acrylic. She put paper towel in between my toes instead of the actual sponge toe separator. When she was finished she disinfected her tools in my dirty water. I have a high tolerance for pain but when I put my feet in that water it was scorching. It seemed as if she didn't want to be there doing my feet the lady next to me pampered the girl, i got a quick massage... The end result was good, besides the crack in my toe, but i would've much rather had a longer massage and maybe some small talk. Rather than getting dirty looks. My friend got a full set and they looked absolutely amazing and they were done by a male. I may go back only for the man, he was very nice and fixed my thumb nail from a recent bad experience. The next day i came back to see if they could fix my toe and she sat me at a dirty chair with the used bag still in the foot bath. She took clipper and cut off the acrylic and then put some supper glue in between the crack. She didn't file it down she just placed clear polish over my toe.. she didn't even redo the French tip. Just left the original polish. She rushed me out of the chair but i said thank you to both of them. I paid good money the first time, we all deserve to have our nails looking nice when we come in a salon... read more

Gel polish selection here is very limited. So if you want gel, you might as well bring your own. I'm a nude kinda gal when it comes to my nails and they had absolutely no nude gel polish. I settled for a light pink. While my nail tech did ok shaping my nails, the acrylic is very thick and my nails look really chunky. She also cut my finger a few times and she nonchalantly says "it's ok I cut myself all the time" (Um what? That makes it ok?) A few times I felt the drill start to get hot so I was nervous she was going to burn me. The owner was very friendly and offered a beverage and candy but that's not the reason I go to nail salons. 2 stars for the quality of nails and added star for the customer service. Update: Nails are durable and lasted me 3 1/2 weeks! read more

I had a pedicure and a full set done. As well as some nail art done. They were fast, efficient and worked to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The hot stones during the pedicure were an amazing surprise! It's been a week and my nails still look fantastic! read more

Just finished getting a shellac manicure from TLA and I'm impressed with the service I received! I was sat down right away and was offered beverages and candy! The shellac color books are very easy to look through and I was able to find my colors with ease. Everybody was very friendly and I didn't feel like my mani was being rushed. The facilities were clean and everything was organized. My nail tech was very detail oriented, I noticed because she made sure my shellac was edged as close to my cuticle as possible! She also made sure she trimmed as much excess cuticle as she could, checking again multiple times. I totally forgot her name, but I will for sure return to this place for my next mani! read more

Okaaaaay seriously, I love this place. Found my new go to!! I don't want to go anywhere else. The owner is so sweet, so attentive and really cares with the customers. The tech's are really detailed oriented and do what you want- not what they think is best. Clean place, always gets in walk in's, and lots of color selection. complimentary drinks are offered right away, like coke, water, tea, and sometimes they offer you candy! How sweet! Love this place, love the team, and always love my result. read more

Summer ready nails. Fun design on hands and French manicure for toes. First time here. Great service. Offered water and treats. Came with my mother in law and they treated her very well. She was impressed with the service and loved her gel French tip gel manicure and gel pedicure. Altogether $135 for my full set nails with design (done by Jessica), my French tip pedicure, and her gel French tip manicure and pedicure. We were both out within 1.5 hours. (A great relief from my last 3 hour salon experience at a different salon) Overall great experience. read more

I went here once and I unfortunately won't be back. My nails came out great but it seemed like my tech had an issue with feedback. I showed her the picture I wanted and she refused to put a color under glitter because she said she could not see it & believe it was clear as day. If I ever did go back it would only be for a pedicure. I can't deal with a nail tech who doesn't do what you're trying to pay for. read more
