List Best 10 Nail Salons in Lakewood, WA (Part 2)

Terisha Lee Not worth the price, the service wasn’t that great and the man that did my nails had a bad mood the whole time. The only reason I’m giving 1 star is because the lady that did my daughter’s nails for her birthday was really nice and patient with her.

HaMy Nguyen The attention to detail was impressive and my nails have never looked better! Lots of colors and trendy designs to choose from. Cindy was very skilled and patient with me as we discussed about the colors and designs. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my new set and will definitely come back. Highly recommend!

Sharon I’ve been going to Nail Center for over 20 years. I moved to Olympia but will continue to see my friends at Nail Center.

Mary Rice Love getting my nails done here. Never been disappointed. Excellent job every time.

Anna Cohen Worst set Ive ever gotten. Not one nail was the same length, not one nail bed the same size, several are crooked as hell, and the overlay acrylic started lifting off the nail bed within 12 hours. Id like to say they did well on my toenails but between them being filed into points and then sealed to my skin with excess gel, I just cant.

Cynthia Smyers They have always done a beautiful job! I have been coming here for years. My sister comes here every time shes in town. I had the purple cat eye for Halloween and got so many compliments.

Destiny Castro Just came in for acrylics and it was very quick service! My nail tech did an amazing job, I’m getting married Sunday and I love the nails!

Maggie tasse Thank you for the wonderful experience. My husband and I have started our vacation and this was our first stop. A manicure and pedicure deluxe is the best. The people are are very polite and very good and what they do.

Kaycee No. Just no. How do you let someone go out with clear polish over a white tip when asking for a normal French tip. Asked for almond shaped nails and got chunky ovals.

Crisp Child They are literally the sweetest and he was so gentle with my hands, didn’t nick me once!!! I think these came out beautifully. The set was $75. Definitely recommend!! ❤️

Laticha Barton I will not go anywhere else. They are a wonderful couple, who are very kind and take excellent care of me every time. He is masterful at his craft and really knows what he is doing and she always gives the best pedicures. Edit: I have not had the money to get my nails done but it’s been over a month and I haven’t lost a single nail. This place is incredible

Lana Lutsenko My nails were done in Idaho on my vacation. I came back, and I needed to redo my color. I have acrylic gel nail polish. I went to three nail places, and they rejected me. Lovely Nails are the only ones that did my nails. First nail place didnt carry acrylics nail polish second one told me appointment only third one asked what I need and said can you come back tomorrow instead of telling me theyre busy. I came to Lovely Nails, and it was my next stop on the Google Map. I showed them what I needed, and it took them less than 20 minutes to redo my color. Thank you so much. Ill come back again.

Venus Volante My mom and I walked-in and we got serviced right away. My mom and I got the temperature changing color gel manicure for the holidays. We also got pedicures. Well done!

Alisha Thomas Love the work the male does Ive been his customer for many years. however I can never get an appointment. No availability ever it seems but I love the way he knows exactly what I like and want and he always does a great job for the pricing I appreciate that God bless

Mimi Lavette I’m a transplant from the east coast & this spa is the ONLY place that I’ll get my nail treatments! The technicians are very pleasant & thorough! Through the years, I’ve watched them be on the front lines of new trends, in addition to updating their service areas. The work is superb & I never feel rushed. Today I got the deluxe Jasmine pedicure & I was transported to a peaceful heaven. I’m on my feet 10 hours a day, so my toes & heels quickly become a jacked up. When I leave, my feet are baby soft & restored. I highly recommend Red Nail Spa!

Ian Alamillo Great nail salon. They always make my nails beautiful. Also, great service!

Samantha Parker Last time I came in was 2016 and they burned the skin around my eyebrows a week before prom so I vowed I wouldn’t come back. I came with my mom today (she goes here all the time - didn’t remember that). We had a 3:30 appointment and got pedicures, dip powder manicure, and a fill for her. I have never had dip powder and I regretted it immediately. I like the color but the process is unsanitary - they didn’t have me wash my hands before or after and dipped my fingers straight into the jar. I wouldn’t even call it a manicure they buffed my nails, did the dip powder process, and then filed my nails (none of them look remotely even or a certain shape). I specifically asked for my cuticles to be trimmed/cleaned up and they buffed them along with my nails. My moms fake nails look great though. She also got a deluxe pedicure and I think they gave me the same? By the time I put my feet in it was probably almost closing. I spent more time soaking my feet than receiving the pedicure, I wouldn’t call it deluxe either. I wasn’t even asked what “scent” I would want during but my mom got lavender. We were there until 40 minutes after they closed even though we had a 3:30 appointment. It wasn’t worth the $170 total before tip (mine specifically being $90).

gillian fox Lana and her staff provide very professional services. Everyone is kind do great work! The new remodel is absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Red Nails if you are looking for a fantastic spa experience.

Antoinette Sukre Just had the most amazing service. I felt very welcomed (I was a walk-in) and I was happily greeting upon walking in.ms.lanna and hien are amazing felt like I was talking to an old friend. The spa/salonis beautiful,clean and quiet.I absolutely love my nails and the pedicure was just perfect.I’m getting back in self care,I was nervous but they made me feel really amazing and I very happy I chose their spa/salon. Will be returning!!

Felicia D Doing an experiment and trying out all the salons here in dupont, so far this one would be my 2nd choice, they are open Sundays which was convenient but a little bit of a rushed atmosphere...nails are good....and cleaning could be kept up better.

E Aunger I really like this place! I went all out and they were all for it. She was accommodating to me even though they were really busy. I’ve been here before this visit and they were also awesome. Great price for using 4 colors, $30. Also, they have really cool color changing nail polish as well. However, since they were busy they didn’t do the finishing touches on the nails like the usually do but it’s okay, I can probably do that myself! Anyway, overall great experiences here and I will definitely be coming here regularly.

aisha moody Usually good but this time not. My cousin and I both got pedicures and she got a nail polish change and I got a fill. I MADE a 12 noon appointment to avoid crowdiness. Two people worked on my cousin at the same time. One did the polish change and one did her pedicure while I got my fill which took a total of 20 minutes. Did I mention there was no one in the salon so why the rush. She didn’t even get her feet to soak. I didn’t even get my feet to soak this time either. It was just a rush job and u can tell by my nails. I will go somewhere else to get them polished. I won’t Come here again for a pedicure and I will make an appointment with the person I want specifically for my nails. Nails are normally good but I got a new person.

Emily A This salon did a great job for a reasonable price. I got acrylic nails with gel polish. Kim was fast, but efficient. She asked for feedback about nail shape, length, etc throughout the manicure which i appreciated because at other salons they just rush through it and assume that they did what you wanted - communication is everything. I will be coming back!

Little D My nails came out great! Theyre rated lower but the quality of the look is fantastic compared to what I saw on the other 2 shops in dupont. 4 stars only because the lady I got didnt even try to look for a simple pink clear or offer at least a pink acrylic nor did she talk but its ok they were packed.

Heather Carter I stopped by for a pedicure without an appointment and was able to get right in. The staff were all very sweet and attentive. they have an impressive selection of gel nail colors, which was great. My feet havent looked this great in months! I will definitely return again.

Anise Stitnizky Walked in picked out my color purse was in the chair was told to let my water out and had to wait and hour, due to others coming in with a “appt” but why seat me if you knew you had appointments! This was all in a 5 min time frame! Stated I took to long picking colors, when he told me to take my time, but what was the difference of 5 mins, would you have stopped in the middle of my service, knowing you had appointments. He never was transparent about incoming appointments and wasted my time. Really bad customer service. Colors are old and separated, with poor selection.

Mo Riah When someone walks in after you, they suddenly rush their work and then expect you to pay to correct it. Looks like a 5 year old painted my nails. Spoke up and said how awful and messy these were, and they sent the same nail tech back to "correct" it.. Definitely wont be coming back. Save yourself a headache and money and go somewhere else...

melody kiernan They took me and my friend in as walk ins with no wait wich was cool but it seemed like they didnt know what shape was what unless you had a picture and one of my points fell off on the 1st freaking day they also grinded my cuticles to were they bled after so yeah definitely not going back. I gave a 2 star because the guy who did my nails at least knew more than the lady doing my friends nails cause she messed up bad they are so crooked.

Britain Mace Y’all! There is no reason this place should have a 3.6! Reviews are important. So I was hesitant to come here bc of the rating itself but I was desperate needing to get my nails done on a Sunday and my girl is closed and so many other places…. I HAD to get my nails done for photos this evening! This place so they had available while the others with better ratings were booked. So I said fingers crossed & y’all I can’t not understand what the 3.6 is for!!! Jasmine Jasmine Jasmine! So kind so sweet and so talented! She gave me the classy sweet fire engine red nails I wanted and they came out perfect, she didn’t rush took her time and was so absolutely pleasantly. I mean y’all let’s be positive and post positive reviewers as well. If you don’t have a nail girl or need a nail salon in town that’s affordable and pleasant come to Sky! Basic Pedicure with gel polish & Full Set with gel polish 105 :)

L Went to have gel nail polish removed and a new manicure with regular polish. Gel wasn’t even completely removed - nails were rough and bumpy and she proceeded to paint my nails. I asked for the polish to just be removed because it looked terrible. The only other thing done was cuticle clipping. She charged me for gel removal and a manicure anyway and this was what my nails looked like when I left. You can still see the areas of gel attached to my nails. My daughter had the same experience but left the pink polish on. This was their “manicure.” Thumb nails filed different shapes and terrible polish application. What a disgusting waste of money. They charged us $55 total to partially remove gel polish, clip cuticles only, and apply the worst polish job I’ve ever seen. :(

Maya za If I could rate zero I would!! Worse customer service! Disrespectful, dishonest and extremely rude!! I did a full set, and my nails were uneven I mentioned politely and she was extremely rude and raising her voice on me! They cut my skin they didnt even apologize. The tools looked very dirty!! I hope I don’t get infection on my open cut which they did on my index finger. They told me that I’m tooo picky and I’m not welcomed there anymore! How rude!!!!! I usually tip %20 but I’m so glad I didn’t even tip them. Be careful and be aware!

Lauren Hitchcock I have been coming to this salon since we moved to Washington, and I absolutely love it. Jen is the absolute best and does amazing work! Not only is she so sweet, but I always come in with different designs, some complex, and she always delivers. I never leave disappointed! The pedicures are great too, I love the massages some of the ladies give! Overall, friendly atmosphere & all the ladies are so welcoming. I definitely recommend this salon. I have attached some samples of Jen’s work!

Derricka McGriff I love my nails!! But I came in to get pampered and relax and left with my back HURTING. it’s so uncomfortable getting a manicure and pedicure at the same time. I literally had to twist my body for her to reach my other hand. There’s no need to rush.

Luna If I could give 0 stars, I would. If you are considering going here please read this first. This was easily one of the worst, overpriced nail services I have ever had. I went in with nothing on my nails and asked for overlay with gel. I didnt consider taking a picture, but I should have so you can see how badly they were done. She absolutely butchered my nails. She rushed the entire time, mind you, they werent busy, I was the only one there. There was no shape, just the overlay clumped onto my skin and nails. The gel color was TERRIBLE. All over my skin and not painted on half of the nails. She still had the audacity to charge me $60. I just went to CK Nails to have them fix the hack job this lady did. They were shocked by how bad it was and asked me if I had tried to do them myself. They were so bad the lady who fixed them didnt even charge me for removal of the old overlay. Please please please do not go here! Dont waste your money. CK Nails is 5 minutes away and they do a phenomenal job every time.

Bobby Bryant Have been twice. First time my nails were hastily done. Second time, unable to get in. Staff seemed unfriendly and distant. Can only speak to my own 2 times walking through door, but there are way better local nail salons that are at least pretending to be happy to see non binary folk.

Anna Nikitina I would really like to leave a positive review, but unfortunately I can’t. The store does not live up to its sign, be careful, as you will find very poor quality manicures here. I dont think this business needs money and customers allow it to do this for no reason. The coating is gel, the manicure is only three days old, but it is already breaking, the polish is uneven

Em V I am never going back here ever again. First of all, I had an appointment set for 5:30, they were busy with walk ins that came right before me and didnt start getting ready for me until 5:45. Thats fine, i understand running behind so that didnt bother me. Another walk in comes in after im checked in for my appointment so the owner stops preparing for me and takes the walk in because “her appointment will be faster”. Now it’s almost 6 PM and my feet are soaking in cold water and im getting uncomfortable. Finally around 6 PM some very young girl who doesnt even look old enough to be licensed starts to work on me… she is very shaky and nervous and you can tell she has no idea what she is doing. She was hurting me trying to “file” my toenails and completely ripping my skin off with this super long file that she doesnt know how to control. And then she starts clipping my toenails, and clips them so short it is painful for me to walk - and im still experiencing pain to this day by the way, this happened a few weeks ago. Anyways, i was super uncomfortable and very politely asked if she could fix the jagged edge on my nail she created that was poking me ( i told her it was feeling like an ingrown when it was not doing that before ) She said she could not and went to grab Lisa. Lisa then very grumpily cleans out my nails the rest of the way while trying to fix the jaggedness, quickly paints them with NO top coat and doesnt even let me dry, just told me i was done and sent me up front to pay. It wasnt even 6:15 yet and they close at 7….there was no one else at this point so they were not busy they were just in a rush to get me out. The owner then had the audacity to charge me full price even tho they royally messed up my feet and caused me a ton of pain that will not go away and no one will touch them with how short the young girl clipped them, I just have to wait it out and hope my nails go back to normal, they kept me waiting for 30 minutes after my appointment time to take walk ins that came in after me, and they did a half done job with painting my nails and only worked maybe 15 minutes on me from start to finish when they didnt even do half the things listed on the menu that is included with the pedicure. I was so polite, and they treated me so awful. I had a poor experience the previous time i went and decided to give them another chance, but now I know it wasnt just a bad day and they are just really a terrible salon and not very nice people. I would not recommend this place to even my worst enemy.

Brittnie Philpot I was getting my gel removed from my toes via drill and it was too high. I asked them to turn it down because it was uncomfortable and they said ok and ignored me. Once I told them that it was getting painful and hot they fussed about it being slower and kept going on about how slow it was now. I told them I’d rather it take longer than hurt and they got more upset. Ended up walking out and not even finishing because im not paying to be in unnecessary pain. Pic for proof.

Melony Rose If you even think about coming here do NOT. First of all super unprofessional. A lady was in the lobby praying on the floor no mat or nothing coughing with no mask on just a mess. The man who does nails is rude and a real disgusting human. Messed up my godmother nail it looked like a kid did it. I asked for a fill and because I asked one question about the color acrylic powder he literally shood me away like a dog and told me to go back to where I got them done. If you want something cheap and at least decent go across the street but do not come here. Thank me later!

Jacquelyn Lowe Stopped as a walk in, they got me in right away. He did a great job and great price too! Would definitely come back!

Shariesa Howard Me and my son went to get a pedicure yesterday and my toe nail polish clumped up and wiped off when I tried to put my sandals on. Mind you, this was hours later after I got my toes done! Very dissappointed! A waste of my money and time!

Christine Curren Lee is fabulous! He is quick and quiet. He has been doing my nails for over 10 years! Please give him a try, very little wait time. Just go right in, no appointment needed!

Carissa Lawrence Felt extremely rushed not professional. My nails looks horrible :( I have never had such a bad experience at a nail salon. High prices for the quality that you are getting. We even complained at the end and the manager just shrugged her arms. My nails are already chipping and they look bumpy. My nail polish was still stuck to my skin at the end. Will Never go here again.. If you guys are looking in the area for a nail salon just go around the building there is another nail salon on the other side, I had a much better experience there. Oh and for Covid happening it was very unsanitary. :( very disappointing....

Zusarah Scott This place is good quality. Your nails will always look great. The people here are nice and friendly. This is totally my new nail shop!

Carina Lewis Really disappointed in my nails. The gel polish is all over my cuticles and not fully curred on the edges and not a smooth polish application. Its going to lift in less than a week. When I asked to have it fixed she just took cuticle nippers to some of the areas and didnt really fix the problem. Ill be filling them around the cuticles as they grow which I should have to do. She just stopped trying at a point and walked away. Will not be returning. My pedicure was good and the lady took her time and did a great job. The only reason for any stars at all. Update: my polish chipped with the first few days and it was supposed to be gel. Another nail salon had to repaint them. While that was happening, they said they did such a bad job there was water that got into the acrylic and was starting to form fungus. They said it looked like they used regular polish and just covered it with gel. Never again.

LOL LOL I called for an appointment but it wasnt necessary as they take walk-ins. Within minutes I was seated and being worked on. Although I only got a pedi (without nail polish) they did an excellent job. My feet are extremely sensitive and she did a very thorough job without causing me any pain or issues. Appreciative

Paula Marcella I would give this place negative stars if I could. Went there today and as my nails were being painted I pointed out that she colored outside the lines. She just smiled like she didnt understand English. After she was done I told her again that they looked horrible. She got a really sharp tool and tried to chip extra polish away .I now have several hang nails and she chipped part of the polish off on the nail itself. I finally told her to stop (Im sure, just before she drew blood). I was still charged full price!!!!! I made sure before I left that it was understood that not only would I not be back, but, I would spread the word to anyone who will listen DO NOT GO TO THIS BUSINESS!!!!! There are plenty of good nail salons in Lakrwood, dont waste your time or money on these hacks.
