I do not recommend VIP nails and spa. I went in two days before my wedding (with my rehearsal dinner the next day) and showed the tech a photo of exactly what I wanted. They said they could do it. After over 3.5 hours, I ended up with exact opposite of what I had asked for. I left in tears, hoping to get them fixed elsewhere but by then it was already 6 p.m., and no salons had openings. My now-husband called to ask if they would fix them, and while they agreed, the atmosphere was incredibly uncomfortable. The staff were arguing with each other while the tech aggressively filed my nails. Even after the "fix," my nails still looked nothing like what I asked for, and I wasn't offered any kind of apology or discount. This experience was completely unprofessional and extremely disappointing ,especially before such an important event in my life. read more

I have been coming here for years, and I absolutely love it! Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and they always get you in right away. David is a true nail pro--his work is amazing! Over time, I've also gotten to know his wife and the rest of the team, and they are just as wonderful. If you're looking for a great nail spa, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed! read more

Walked in. It was early and quiet in there. They were excellent. I loved the smell and quality feel of the Jasmine product I chose. They gave me a skillful Mani-Pedi leaving my hands and feet clean, soft and relaxed. The massage was exceptional. The price is fair for the current market rates and I will be back. So so calming. I feel and look much better than when i went in with dirty nails from a weekend of gardening. read more

Never expected myself to leave a review like this, but foolish of me for checking only Google reviews and not Yelp. My cuticles are still bleeding here and there, and I'm currently staring at the botched top coats on every single one of my toes. Would not return :( read more

My daughter and I went there the day before Thanksgiving 2021. Both the gentleman doing my nails and the woman with my daughter were very rough. She was cut three times with a nail file because the woman was being so aggressive with her. Also, the gentleman doing my nails cut the cuticle area. I let him know he was cutting my skin but he continued to be unnecessary aggressive. Additionally, my daughter brought in a picture of an example of the color she would like. The woman proceeded to trim her nails like the photo and when we tried to explain that she didn't want that shape she became very defensive. My daughter was so uncomfortable that she asked conceded and let the woman trim her nails like the same photo...since she has already completed almost half of one hand anyway. I would not recommend this nail salon. They are about quantity than quality. A read more

I did not see any disinfecting between clients, autoclaved instruments or general hygiene protocols in place. The person doing my nails also cut my curticlr on one nail and one toenail and it's still hurting almost 12 hours later. Would not go back read more

Got a Dip set of nails done here as it's close to my boyfriends house. I saw David and he did an amazing job! I have shorter, chubby fingers and so I'm never super happy with how the shape of my nails turns out...until now! Definitely coming back! read more

I left utterly disgusted after getting my nails done here. The woman doing my nails seemed to have uncovered warts on her hands, to which when I asked her to cover them with at least a bandaid she ignored me. I asked her 5 times & was very polite as I understand this can be embarrassing. Warts are contagious, this is a major health concern & violation. read more

I don't get my nails done often- I usually give myself dip manicures at home. But I felt like treating myself to a manicure/ pedicure last Saturday. I will say it was nice that they were able to get me an appointment an hour before close. My pedicure looks great, but I'm so upset about my manicure. When they started on my nails the woman did not prep my nails correctly, and cut my thumb cuticle pretty bad. I get it, sometimes the file hits and it happens, but I've never bled to the point where my blood was beading..(gross I know. Especially in a salon.) That night my left pointer finger chipped, the next day my right pointer finger chipped. Monday I went to get it fixed and a woman started filing the failed dip away. She then got up and a man finished removing the dip. Which was ok, but he has JUST been outside smoking, so I had to sit and smell cigarette smoke. He didn't even wash his hands after coming in from smoking at the front of the store- and the front door of this business was open, and he was definitely not 25 feet away. One nail I was able to file down myself and the right pointer finger was fixed. However, a week later they keep chipping, my cuticles are absolutely wrecked, and all the nails are lifting. I will not be returning and I suggest you find a different salon. Aren't dip nails supposed to last two weeks?! read more

I usually don't leave reviews like this, but every single time I've came into Vip nails for a service I've felt very uncomfortable, mainly from the workers attitudes. There's so many more nails salons in the area that will do a much better job with a more comfortable environment read more

I loved my visit here. The male nail tech absolutely killed my nails. I also was very surprised by the prices, they are relatively lower than most places in the area. I got dip (with acrylic tips) for $45 and they were very meticulous in making sure every step was completed with care! Def will be going back. read more

I will never go back. The facility is run down and I believe the owner is getting over on customers. I STOPPED into VIP Nails after a flight from GA and requested a Gel nail fill which is stated on their menu as $35 and a Pedicure. I was told once my Pedicure became that I would be charged an extra $5 to remove the polish from my toes because I didn't have my toes painted from their nail shop. I asked how is that possible to be charged extra because your previous service was not with their facility. The response from the workers was that's how the owner builds loyalty amongst their customers. Ridiculous. Then, when I inquired about how much extra it would be to add a design to 1 nail, I was told that $3 each. Once it was time to create a design employees switched and I was informed that it would be $10 per nail for a design because the normal design person was unavailable. Total waste of time. I didn't get my nails done and the Pedicure was amateur at best. The employee sat with her legs wide open with a dress open, as she painted my toes. Very disgusting, if you are from out of town or don't live in Skagit don't walk RUN.... place is not worth the time! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. It is NOT sanitary!!!! The woman doing my pedicure shared her tools with the woman next to her without sanitizing them. They also did not change their gloves between clients, and did a spray and wipe on the pedicure bowls instead of fully sanitizing them. The only reason I gave them two stars is because my nail polish looks cute. I'm currently headed home to soak my feet in Epson salt and pray to God I don't get any kind of fungal infections. read more

The place is not clean the music is sad yeah I would not recommend it to get your nails done

I have been going here for almost 2 years and have never had issues until today. I came in and wanted a full set of acrylics put on and wanted them round and short. I came out with square, long, jagged edges and my cuticles looking a mess. They charged me $45 for this. I ended up going back an hour later to get them shorter and round and to just be somewhat ok for a week. They took the Dremel and shortened them then filed to roundish and was done. They did not even repaint the clear coat back on my nails. I am very sad and frustrated that they were the place I have been going and getting complements many time on how my nails looked and will not be going back. read more

I haven't been to this place in years and decided to give them a try once again because they are closer to my house. Terrible idea. I got a fresh full set that looks about a week old with gel shellac. The polish isn't even even or thoroughly covering my nails. Neither is the acrylic. I asked for my cuticles to be trimmed and she made my cuticles bleed. Didn't offer to clean off the blood or even sanitize the tools. Stuck them back in her drawer. Retold the blood stained towel. I'm so disappointed I waited 30 mins and paid $50 for this. Never again.. I only gave them one star because the massage chairs. Service is terrible. I will never return. read more

The best and longest leg/foot massage I've ever gotten with a pedicure! I mean, that's literally the point of a pedicure and most places don't seem to get that. Super clean and reasonably priced. Taking good covid precautions. I will definitely be back! read more

Went here the day before homecoming. Had to return the next day to have several nails redone as they were filed poorly and nail polish was spotty. When I explained my concerns, the lady working there said "are you sure you were here yesterday?" Eight days later one of my nails fell off. The place is loud and the employees are not friendly. I would not recommend this place and will not return. The lady that spoke to us was eating Doritos, licking her fingers and working. It didn't seem clean to me at all. read more

worst maniped I've ever had. she didn't trim my cuticles well and just slapped the polish on. and VERY unsanitary. they keep their scissors etc in their pockets and use the same ones on multiple customers. my manicurist was quite rough as she was pushing back my cuticles. I will not go back, and will recommend that my friends and family not go there. read more

I went in for probably the fourth time to get my nails done. Just a simple full acrylic set, a nice taupe color. They charge $30 for a full set okay? No biggie. The whole time the lady was doing my nails, she was digging into my fingers, was aggressive with the file, didn't do any kind of cuticle care. She knew I was frustrated with the service so I ended up not tipping her and left the tip blank. Now I have a $40 charge from there? I DONT THINK SO! You dont just get to add on a tip! Absolutely bullshit. read more

I've tried this salon numerous times over the last several years and have never been truly satisfied. I only tried it again because it is close to my house and I had many things to do on Friday. The people are nice enough and the equipment is good, but the work is always sub par. Got a shellac manicure on Friday for $25. I pay $18-20 elsewhere. I got no massage she just put some Lotion in my arms, I asked several times if she'd trim my cuticles better and she would cut like one. My cuticles are all dry and the polish itself is bumpy. It's only been 3 and it's already peeling off. I most definitely would not recommend this nail salon to anyone nor will I ever go back. read more

I'm done trying this place. Last time I went I told them I had arthritis in my hand joints so to be careful. They weren't. This time I told them again, "I need you to be very gentle as I have arthritis in my hands. I also am just getting over an infection in this finger, so please be very careful." Again, I don't think she believed me because she made me jump with pain on that finger. Then, when she hurt it again and I jumped, she said, "oh, like a baby." Nice enough people, but don't listen to the customer. I'm done. read more

Since my last visit it's definitely been a more positive experience. This place is by far one of the most affordable nail spas and they work well together and work quickly while paying attention the experience. They make sure you relax/enjoy the massages and approve of every nail as they go through. The don't make you feel guilty if you request for a touch up! I recommend the deluxe pedi - only $30 and it includes a sugar scrub and a paraffin massage. read more

The only reason I will go back is to have them fix my nails! I arrived at 4:45 pm yesterday (9/15) for a mani - pedi, was seated within 5 minutes. The ladies were nice enough, but of course they talked amongst themselves without conversing with me, the client. The first issue I have is the fact they cut me on several figures while filing and attending to my cuticles. Next, the nail polish was bubbled on almost every single finger. When I asked the gal to touch up the polish since it was bubbled and not even close to covering my entire nail, she did 1 brush stroke on one nail, and said it was good. I didn't get out of there until 615pm, and that was with my hands and feet being done at the same time. There was no shilac, no special design, just 1 color. Honestly, if I wanted this outcome, I would have had my 8yr old do it for me read more

DO NOT I say NO NOT go there on busy days (weekend). I'm normally a happy satisfied customer but not today. I didn't get my moneys worth, they're just taking in customers which clearly they don't have enough people to serve those customers. It's true when one reviewer here said that one guy filled, one painted and they jump from people to people. Not going back. read more

VIP nails. They definitely don't treat you very VIP. The actual pedicure I got was great. The deluxe. They seemed annoyed that i didn't want paraffin. But they give you a choice. It wasn't very busy in here, two other clients. The chairs are older and don't massage that well. What was really frustrating was that three of the four of workers talked the entire time. And loud. The older male spent the entire time I was there 1.5 hours on his phone while two other females joined in. Even when i said it's hard to relax when you guys are talking so much and loud they didn't care. I could tell the customers they were working on were frustrated with them talking so much and on their phones while doing their nails. So while the work was good, the place is run down, the employees are LOUD and they don't give a crap if they are disturbing you. I would suggest going elsewhere. You can get nice work in a calmer environment where they care if you enjoy the service. read more

I was really surprised to see some low ratings for this place. I've only been there once and plan on going back today. The one time I did go, I went with my two adult daughters. We all got pedicures and my girls manicures and I got pink and white nails. They did an amazing job on all of our feet. My girls both got shellac and one daughter tried to describe what she wanted and the tech did a couple of samples on her nail to make sure it was exactly what she wanted...two weeks later, they still look amazing (which is more than I can say about the other local place). My other daughter got french tips painted on and the tech suggested a design of lines on her nails, he did an absolutely amazing job! All in all, I thought they were friendly and did great work, their prices were very competitive as well. read more

I am very impressed with this nail salon. I have been to many and they have the most amazing service out of all of them. During covid they are taking very good precautions to ensure the health of everyone who comes in. They did amazing art on my nails and I walked out with the best shaped coffin nails i've ever received. Overall just very good. read more

Would not recommend this place at all. So much for VIP. My friends and I went to have our nails done and in the middle of our appointment a lady walked in and asked if she needed to go else where or if she could get her nails done and she was told they could do them and after sitting there for over an hour because she took the other lady and made us just sit there and wait til she was done with the other lady. Then tater all that waiting the nails didn't even last 24 hrs my right hand 3 of them broke off due to lack of glue applied and 2 on my left hand. Then they refused to fix or return my money. They don't care about their customers what so ever. So much for have new customers. I would highly recommend avoiding this location completely. read more

Been coming here for Years and never had a problem! They always make sure that everything is to your liking! I have acrylic nails and I tend to break them a lot and they fix it for free! Their pedicures are to die for, especially for the cost! And the massage chair It is hard to understand them at first but when you give it time you get used to how they pronounce things when they talk to you. YES THEY ACTUALLY TALK TO YOU! They're very family oriented and so very friendly. The owner loves talking about his sons(you actually see one of them quite a few times helping out) read more

I don't understand how VIP Nails and Spa could have 2.5 stars on Yelp and another Lake Stevens Salon that I visited a few months back had nearly 5 stars, and it was awful. Anyhow. I walked in today for my first visit ever (Saturday) without an appointment. My first impression - clean, nicely arranged, not too many tchotchkes (haha). They were very busy, but had a couple pedicure chairs open and immediately showed me to a chair to soak my feet while the finished others. The water was warm. I say this because at the other local salon the water was cold. The pedicure chair was very comfortable. It was clean and in good condition in comparison to other places I have been. The massage that it provided was nice. I am happy with the way my toes turned out. I also got a basic manicure. Total for the two services was $30 before tip. A bargain in my book! read more

This is my go to place for Pedicures. I've never had a manicure here. It's a good price, they take their time, give good leg rubs. They really clean up your feet very well. And I really like that a lot of men work in here. LOL, not sure why this appeals to me, but it does. Before coming to VIP I'd never even seen a man work in a nail salon. They do a great job. I'm shocked to see so many low reviews. read more

I came here after a recommendation from someone else. Terrible experience. I got a shellac manicure and a regular pedicure. The pedicure was fine except the mask they put on my shins burned and when I had them take if off I was lectured about how I shouldn't shave before coming...never been an issue for me at other salons before. The rest of the pedicure went fine. The manicure is where it all went wrong. The woman was yelling across the salon (mind you it was completely empty) and one of the other workers obviously making fun of a boy who came in and asked to hang up a flyer. Then at the end I noticed how all my nails were basically glued to the skin below. I asked her to file them and she acted very incovenienced. Then she started to file bumps on top of the nail and so my dark maroon nails are all scratched. Got home and noticed another spot where the nail Polish was on my skin so I started to pick with it a little bit, off came an entire strip of nail polish. 70% of my nails have chipped off already and I got it done 30 minutes ago. What a waste of money. I would go back but honestly I am happy to never step foot there again. read more

Awful! I got a shellac manicure requesting only shellac brand products. They used a gelish clear coat anyway and pretended to not understand when I called them on it. 2 hours later I had 2 cracks in my shellac nail polish. Not happy. Within 3 days it was chipping off all my nails. I got a polish change on my toes at the same time. It chipped faster than my toes ever have. When I removed the polish at home it was extremely easy to remove as opposed to other salons I feel like I need to soak it off. There is definetly a level of quality lacking in the products. On a positive all the employees were very friendly. read more

Horrible!! Wow! i was in a hurry so i tried these guys out!!! the next day i relized that i had 5 cuticale cuts on my fingers, and they cut the crap out of my little toe with the scrubber.
