    Bare gel after 2 weeks!
    Sara Z.

    Very calming in this place - it was full not loud but the service was great! I was offered a water sparkling or still on arrival, given a fantastic manicure, and assisted in finding the perfect color for the day. Though I wish the staff was a little more excited to chat (I love coming to the nail salon and meeting new people including my tech and neighbors) I was extremely happy with the manicure. I just got the bare gel as it was my first time and I have had such bad luck win nail places around Seattle. This one left my hands looking AMAZING as well as had lasted a split 2 weeks with no chips or cracks. It could probably go another just fine but I'm going back to get them done this week because they are growing out so nicely.

    This was my first time at Urban Nail Box and my experience was amazing! I'm from out of town and I was looking for a nail salon in the greater Seattle area that could do quality nail art. I found this salon after some research, and brought in some reference photos for the appointment. My nails were done by Chloe, and she really took her time making sure each nail was done perfectly. Chloe and the receptionist were both super friendly, and I had a great time chatting with them during my appointment. The appointment lasted about 3 hours between my mani and pedi. In the end, my nails ended up matching the reference photos exactly, and I'm so happy with the result!! They also have free still and sparkling water, as well as lattes available for purchase in the salon!

    I am a huge, huge fan of Urban Nail Box! I have always wanted to do nail art and never really knew how to ask for what I wanted. I have had Annie, Jenny, and Tin as my technicians and they are all consummate artists and professionals and have helped me realize my "vision" for my nail art. My extensions also last--something that I've never really experienced before as I can be hard on my nails. Everyone is so sweet and so good at what they do--I really look forward to my monthly appointment!

    Urban Nail Box was so accommodating! I booked a group appointment for myself, my sister, and my mom before coming into town for my wedding. My mom and my sister said they felt very relaxed by their pedis, and I can't thank Urban Nail Box enough for the attention and care they put into my nails for my big day. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond giving me the mushroom nails of my dreams! Thank you!

    I've been a frequent customer of Urban Nail Box in Fremont, and I've always loved the results, but my most recent experience was remarkable. I got my nails done almost a month ago. Not only did my nail artist take a thoughtful, detailed approach and create results better than any of my reference photos, but these nails have lasted SO LONG! I've gotten so many compliments. Yesterday I literally clawed my way up a sand dune and my nails still look amazing. I would give more than five stars if I could!

    There is a reason I've been coming to Urban Nail Box for so many years. The customer service is above and beyond. They have always been able to do every design I've brought actually better than the inspiration. If they weren't able to I have the confidence they would let me know and why they might not be able to. You're welcomed as soon as you enter. There is a reason so many people return and are repeat customers. It's evident in the interaction you see with their customers. Always look forward to my visits each month.

    I needed to find a great new nail Salon after I moved to Ballard and I was so pleased with this place! Everyone there was incredibly sweet and I loved Chloe, who did a wonderful job on my nails! She gave me exactly what I wanted! Would highly recommend this place!

    Essential urban pedicure!

    After searching a few places around Seattle and seeing such strong ratings for this nail salon, I needed to see for myself! My first experience was amazing - I wondered if similarly rated salons would compare, but after some tests I discovered they do not! Urban Nail Box is far superior. Booking online is super easy. They fill up quickly so I recommend booking in advance. There's always been someone available to check me in and I'm seated shortly after. They offer sparkling water and tea. Haven't been in a while, but it looks like they did some updates to the space - it's definitely more modern and minimal looking than most other salons. I've gotten both regular and gel polish here. The paraffin wax is so nice on your skin, I recommend the package with that. I never feel like I'm rushed or being pushed out the door when I'm near finished. I only go on occasion, but this is the only salon in Seattle I'll visit! As a sidenote, they do have parking, but it's always full so I usually park at one of the next-door businesses and it's fine.

    Gel mani after a week

    Being new to Seattle, one of my first missions was to find a nail salon. I chose 3 that I wanted to try before deciding where to become a regular. Urban Nail Box was the second that I tried. I got to the area a bit early so that I could explore a bit. I was able to get some work done in a coffee shop around the corner. There's also eyebrow threading nearby, which is convenient if you like to knock everything out at once like I do. I really enjoyed Urban Nail Box. The space is very comfortable, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. They had a selection of complementary drinks to choose from. They also have a decent selection of colors. The colors are actually on a website, which made it a bit difficult to choose from. I'm not great at visualizing how the colors will look on me so I prefer to see the colors on the physical display. Tristie was incredibly helpful, though. She showed me some options so that I could pick the one I liked the most. Since it was my birthday, I treated myself to the Gel Ultimate Urban Mani and Pedi. She did a wonderful job. Actually, this might have been the most relaxing pedicure I have EVER gotten. And I've had my fair share. While I did miss having a massage chair, I found the couch at the pedicure station to be very comfortable. The manicure lasted quite a while, especially considering that I took up indoor bouldering and have no shortage of ways to potentially ruin my nails. Highly recommend!

    Love Tin's design!! High quality, and really detail

    Can I walk-in or should I do an appointment?

    I would highly suggest booking a reservation rather than taking a chance on a walk in. They’re usually pretty booked

    Does this place offer complimentary alcoholic drinks during a pedi?

    no just tea

    Is Japanese gel available here?

    I don't think so but would call and ask the shop directly

    Do you do nail extensions (acrylic or apres?)?

    No, they seem to work on actual nail only but my nail used to be ridiculously short as well bc I'm a nurse. But they still look amazing and beautiful after being taken care in detail here. U should try, definitely worth.

    Can I do nail designs? Like stick some small butterflies or material on the nails?

    It is possible but a bit complex so advice is to check with the salon directly.

    Do u guys do extension? SNS?

    Not a hair salon. Manicures and pedicures,

    Hello! How much more is it for French tips?

    10$, they have appointment for French tip design online, on their website

    Do you use hard gel?

    Hello Mira! Thank you for your questions. We don’t offer hard Gel at the moment. We will update our service menu if we start having hard gel. Please check back for your future preference.

The whole experience from booking online, getting there and finding street parking at 10am on a Tuesday, the space was chic looking and had plenty of spots for a mani or pedi. Their colors are accessed through a QR code! Was kind of difficult to see if I'd like the color on me since I prefer the swatches on something physical. Nhi was able to help and got the color I was aiming for. From the manicure to the pedicure everything was done well and Nhi was thorough and very friendly which is always nice when you're doing this kind of work. I already have my next visit scheduled so I can change the color of my toes to a more appropriate summer color and remove the gel from the nails on my hands and get basic polish as I work with my hands. They also offer free tea or sparkling water. They do have a specialty drink menu, reasonably priced, and super yummy as I got a Black Sesame foam matcha! I'd like to try the Vietnamese iced coffee on my next appointment! I highly recommend!

They really take their time with prep, shaping, and making sure everything looks clean and perfect. Every time I get my nails done here, the finish is flawless and feels like a mirror. At other salons, you never really know how it's going to turn out, but here every single person I've had has done amazing work. The quality is always consistent, and everyone is so kind and professional. You can tell they care about what they do. I'll only trust this place from now on. It's truly the best, and I always leave feeling so happy with my nails.

    It pains me to write this review because I have been going here for years…read more I got a gel manicure last Friday. The front desk girls were nice. The initial first half of my appointment was fine. Things shifted towards the second half of my appointment. I accidentally dipped my hands back in water after my nails were filed and buffed. The tech I was working with (Lily) seemed visibly annoyed with me. I felt very awkward for the rest of my appointment. After that happened, she was weirdly pushy and abrupt with my hands while curing the gel nails under the LED light. That wasn't even the worst part. During the gel application, I saw this girl wipe her cleanup brush with extra alcohol directly onto the granite countertop, then use the same brush directly on my skin to clean the excess gel on my hands. I have always seen techs here use a paper towel (or another white towel) for this. I was so grossed out. To top off this experience, the hot towel and hand massage at the end of my appointment was super rushed and not thorough at all. So disappointing. I hope this was a fluke, but sad to say I will probably be going elsewhere.
