Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Bellingham, WA (Part 2)

Daisy Casarez I always have great experiences with Honeynails. Her job is very unique and stands out, I get so many compliments after getting my nails done here. Smooth Perfect shape Warm welcoming

Jenni Bridge I could not have been more thrilled at my discovery of Honey Nails! After going to the same nail tech for three years I was worried I wouldn’t find someone when I moved from the Wast Coast. Deb is so attentive to detail and ensures the experience is nothing less than perfect. The salon is clean, bright, and welcoming. Everything is sanitary and adheres to how a nail salon should be. Her prices are fair for what you receive and you get what you pay for 100%. Absolutely worth every penny! I cannot imagine going to anyone else now :) (I uploaded the pics twice on accident!)

Kristi Runge I’ve been looking for a new nail salon. Based on online reviews, I found Deb at her salon, Honey Nails, to be highly recommended. Surprisingly, she had an opening today (New Year’s Day). She did incredible work, was very easy to talk with and brainstorm nail ideas with, and has the cutest dog to keep you company. When I got home, my husband exclaimed, “Whoa! Those nails are EPIC!” Safe to say I found my new nail place.

August Careaga Always an amazing experience! I get full sets and fills every time and they always turn out amazing, shaped right and all equal sizes and polish is always even and how I asked! Ive gotten it done by many different people in the salon and its never been a bad experience from anyone!

A I called to make an appointment because I needed to be done by a certain time. I was there 2 hours. In the middle of doing my nails she stopped and did a full pedicure. Which took her over 30 minutes to do. Nobody came to do my nails while she was doing the other persons pedicure. I was supposed to get neck and shoulder massage I didnt get one. They do good work! But take to long. If you have no plans that day then its perfect.

Lillian Natto Under new management and I definitely had a great experience. Place is nice, clean, and relaxing. I usually get the gel manicure with an oval shape and French tip pedicure - looks great and lasted way longer than expected. I see Trang and she has been the best. Always does a fantastic job and is quick, too. 10/10 highly recommend.

Haley Wyrick Did a very poor job. When I asked the tech to correct a spot on the nail she told me no, that it was fine. My polish doesn’t even near the edge of my nails on almost every single nail. She did not even remove all of the polish I had on when I arrived before painting over the top. I always used to love coming to DDs. Will not be returning.

Cori Moody Ive been going here a couple of years now for the dip powder, I prefer their no UV/LED light dip manis.

Tc I love this place. A mani/pedi takes less than one hour. The shellac is extra glossy and lasts forever before chipping even tho I use my hands for a lot of rough work and am washing them all the time! The ladies are super sweet and the atmosphere is so relaxing. They also do awesome at eyebrow and facial hair threading!

Journey Waters My friend and I get a pedicure every Full Moon and have art added. This was our first experience with Jimmy’s and OMG, the staff is so much fun! We enjoyed every aspects of the pedicure, and Annie’s art work is incredible! We actually had two different artists and I am sorry I didn’t get the others name, but it felt like they are such a cohesive group that they will choose the best person to do your art. This is our new favorite nail salon.

Terra Colbert Horrible Mani! I I LEFT ACTIVELY BLEEDING. I accompanied my friend for her full Mani/pedi and I decided to get my very nice but weeks old acrylic extensions removed. The nail tech just pried off the extensions without soaking it in acetone or doing any substantial filing down. She completely destroyed my nails and took off some of my skin too. I left bleeding with poorly trimmed and VERY damaged nails and somehow more hangnails than I came in with! I love doing my own nails, and while Im a amateur, I am completely shocked at how much damage this supposedly professional salon did to my fingers. Itll take months to get my nails back to how they were before I came in. While the nail tech was apologetic, Im completely shocked at how poorly she did. I wish I wouldve taken some before pics to just show how much damage she did but unfortunately I didnt. I would not recommend this place if you value the health of your nails. Completely unacceptable.

Bobbie Bartholomew Came here for a pedicure and told the staff it was for my wedding only two days away. The pedicure was NOT up to par for professional work, and this is not the cheapest place in town. Nearly $50 and I am frantically reshaping, fixing my cuticles, exfoliating to try and get it done on time - all things the salon should have done! The nail wasn’t shaped or filed nicely. The polish was not even laid thick enough to cover the natural nail, and this is not my first professional pedicure. I expected much better work out of this place. My friend left with a beautiful gel manicure and I left almost in tears. I’m not sure I’m going to get this amended in time

Quinn Carissa (Zoie) First time going, welcomed walk-ins with plenty of friendly staff. Love that they give you a menu of their services offered. Have TV (no sound) to watch and soft music playing. I like that they put my sandles on my feet for me so I didnt risk slipping or messing up my pretty toes standing up.

C R Gibson It was a bummer that I had to go back the next day because one nail was sticky from not curing long enough in the UV lamp. Otherwise, it is a very busy and professional environment. The cleaning standards seemed very high.

Nancie Silves Ive been getting my pedicures here for about 7 years or longer. I have never had to wait over 15 minutes and I always come with a companion. I always make an appt and request Nina to do my pedicure. My sister in-law has Lou-Lou and we are both very happy. Both girls are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this salon. Excellent price.

Jasmine Escalante I get my nails done by Grace! We do structured manicures and they last me such a long time. Grace is also super great about working with me to do designs I show her/coming up with something new and they always end up super cute. I get compliments on my nails all the time!! Also the new space is lovely!

Josie Cardinale Sarah kills my nails EVERY. TIME. I will forever have her doing my nails! Amazing job every time.

Gabriella Vanek HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have seen both Sarah and Bithiah for structured gel manicures since July 2024 and I appreciate their care and attention to detail for my nails. I have never had such healthy and fabulous looking nails. I look forward to every appointment!

reverie was okay experience except my nail tech didn’t talk to me at all it felt very awkward while everyone else around me was being asked if they wanted beverages and things like that. i tried my best to keep positive about this experience but i just can’t believe this is how i was sent off. misshaped nails and etc

Samantha Holland Jennyyyyyy!!!! You are always so wonderful with my nails and there is no one else Ill go too!! Everyone here does amazing work but JENNY works magic!! Thank you for always being a perfectionist, I truly appreciate your hard work!❤️

Kayli Robles 10/10. Super nice people working here, great vibe, overall great experience Update: just got my first acrylics here! They look gorgeous, Holly did a really good job on them. Reasonable price too! The pedicures are also incredibly relaxing, I will definitely be coming here regularly for them

Renskers Clinton “Dutch” Miss Kim is absolutely the best hair stylist in these parts. Its best to call and make an appointment cause she is busy open to close.

Ashley Banuelos Beautiful set of acrylic nails redone! Very professional and my nail technician spent more time working on my nails that were lifting from the previous set of another place, I don’t think I’ve ever had someone invest so much time and energy on my nails before ! Loved the new set!

Terry Kelly and Thrang are the two most friendlies, accommodating, real characters, Fast, efficient, consistent and dedicated to their work and their customers. While I sat there to have my pedicure done, I notice that people are just keep coming in, and to my surprise, they all seemed to be a long time friends with the way they interact with Kelly, and Kelly works very fast and efficient, when shes done, she always have this nice compliment from her customer as if they feel like they have a great experience that day in the hair saloon and walk out with a smile on their faces almost always when I go there every three weeks. Thrang on the other hand, works diligently, passionate and caring about her work and her clients, she will pumper you and make sure that she meets your needs and wants, she have a very long patience, and kindness, very calm and gentle with her hands. I highly recommend Kelly and Thrang for all your hair and nails needs.

Lisa Bishop Went with the bridal party and got the royal treatment. Bride was treated like a queen. Service was wonderful. The nails look great and are still great a week later. I got French tips on my feet and toes. The woman that did mine admitted she was new, so another person checked her work!! Never been to a place where they admitted this and supported each other! We had three technicians that traded around so they each were doing what they were best at. There is a wonderful sitting space with drinks for waiting. Definitely going back!!

austin papritz How do you spell perfect? I had Riley whom did the best massage, gentle touch of nails which can be nervous. I had the best massage, hot water before, massage chair and wax at the end. YOU are in for the treats of treats! If you want wine, beer, white claws, non alcoholic drinks, is the ultimate in relaxation! I found my new perfect pedicure oasis!

E I really wanted to like this place but my second experience did not go as well as the first. I got a gel manicure which went very quick. Fast forward a week later and my nails are already peeling and cracking. The ladies are super nice but I just wish they took more time on my nails.

Hanna Estes This is the best pedicure I have ever had! They dont rush you, they spend time making sure your nails are perfect ans callouses are removed, they spend a long time massaging your legs and feet and actually help you fel relaxed. And a hot stone massage as well with hot towels after! So relaxing and wonderful and such a reasonable price. I wouldnt go anywhere else in bellingham! Give this amazing salon all your business! 100/10❤️

Kate Thiele It was my first time going here and my nails turned out lovely! I got gel nails and the owner and her husband were very friendly and she did an amazing job and really paid attention to detail. I also appreciated that they cut your cuticles and remove all of the dead skin! Will be going back :)

Elvira I recieved a manicure, long gel pink nails with a glitter top coat. Service was great and fast! The owner was down to earth and is very skilled doing nails! Quality work for a great price. Recommend 100%. Will be back!

Renita Razor Love love this place! She went above and beyond for my nail shape that the other nail salon messed up on and they didn’t have the glitter I want so she made it! Love this place since the summer and have a hard time going elsewhere

Emily McQuarrie I usually switch up my nail salons based on when I have time to get my nails done, but Ive made a point recently to ensure I go to M&T for a full set of acrylics. I’ve had issues with nail techs rushing through their work and not getting the acrylic all the way to the cuticle, so it grows out fast and comes apart even faster. But every time I go to Mai at M&T she does an amazing job with my acrylics, really takes her time and seems to take great pride in her work. My nails will last at least a few weeks longer when I get them done by her. Their work is phenomenal and their prices are competitive! I highly recommend! Mai is wonderful!

Becca Lee Hoar was amazing! She and her coworkers gave my group a great experience and we all loved our pedicures! Thanks again ladies!

Juliana I went to Tina’s for the first time the other day and she did a really great job. More affordable than most places in town, great cuticle work, cute space, plus a super friendly, sweet nail tech. I’ll definitely be back!

Sam Merrick Great little shop! I got my first gel ex. Affordable, clean and super detail oriented. This is going to become my go to spot.

cjh 83 Got a pedicure done here with my girlfriend. I play a lot of sports and my feet are in rough shape, but Tina did an awesome job. Will definitely be back.

Clarence Grayson I got these nails done with Nina about two weeks ago (photo is from day after) but I still get compliments all the time. My mother said I have “angel nails”! I highly recommend her and her staff. I got an amazing complimentary shoulder massage and Nina made sure I was happy with my nails before I left. Needless to say, I will back very soon to get a new set!

Maya Mor 10/10 always recommend, Ive been going to Ninas for years for acrylics and I have never been unhappy with the service! Everyone is so sweet and talented and my nails always look beautiful. Huge serotonin boost every time I go! Thank you Ninas, love you guys!

Sammy Hignell-Stark I’ve gone to Nina’s three times now for acrylics and fills. I’ll start this off by saying if Nina’s had an email, I would take this up privately because I don’t want to be a naysayer and I’m not ordinarily set on posting poor reviews. However, the initial set was great: smooth, even, and shiny. I feel like the tech took her time and got proper nail prep so the set stayed nice until the fill. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing about the two subsequent fills, as they have been lumpy bumpy and nearly every nail lifted up at the cuticle edge. I held off saying anything the first fill curious if it was just an off day. But today I got another fill, and I’m quite disappointed. Each nail is uneven, the acrylic is lumpy and bumpy, and when I tried to bring these issues up with my tech, she kept saying “I don’t see it.” I really have tried to like Nina’s because I know they are all really hard working folk and a few friends go here and love it, and my first set was so good. I just can’t shake the disappointment I’ve walked away with these last two appointments, especially since I brought these issues up multiple times and was brushed off. :(

Cristynn Portillo I love how fun it is to go sit with Diem while she performs miracles on my nails! We always go on nail adventures together! Shes a genius at making your vision even better! I havie big hands and very brittle nails but I always feel like my hands look more feminine after shes done with them!!! Diem is funny and charming and oh-so-talented!

Karyn The new owner, Diem is absolutely the best! She used to do my nails at another salon and was excited that she opened up her own salon and got to follow her here. Her salon is beautifully newly remodeled, is clean, and offers great quality services at fair prices. Diem is very professional, always kind, and does an amazing job with pedicures and acrylic nails. She is hands down the BEST in Bellingham! Be sure to make an appointment and stop in to see her. You’ll quickly become a regular and know you just found the best place in town!

Judy I have found a new place to get my pedicures! I absolutely loved the service and the results! I am completely satisfied and would highly recommend this place to anyone. Appointment is recommended since it’s only Diem right now. She is sweet, kind and makes conversation with you! She takes her time with the pedicure and gives great massages!

Linnea I was a walk in for a pediicure and nail fill. They got me right in and it was a nice relaxing experience. I showed the gal doing my nails a photo of what I wanted and she did a real good job adding her own twist to the design which came out so cute for Winter! Ill definitely return for my nail needs. ETA: I returned 3 weeks later for a fill. Wow what a surprise when I received my final bill! Have not returned since due to price of fill, did not get the nail tech I requested, and I sat waiting for 20 minutes past my previously scheduled appointment time. All I had done was a fill with gel polish and my total was $60.00. The tech had a mishap and left me bleeding didnt even say she was sorry kept working on my nails until I told her to loudly told her to stop so I could assess injury and clean it up. Then she had the audacity to point at the tip line when I was paying. Big fat zero is what she got there. Havent been back since. No thank you, I can do better and not injure myself.

Peg Berdahl My nails were in bad shape since it had been 3 months since I last had the gel polish in Minnesota and most of it had come off. Chau did a beautiful job restoring them . Top Nails is not a fancy place, but the service is as good as you would get anywhere.

riley carter always hit or miss, forced me to give them a tip after they did a terrible job on my french tips leaving nail glue all over my hands and a half ass job, you could tell she was rushing since they take anyone no matter how busy they are and don’t give their full attention while doing nails, never will come back again. nails were lopsided and uneven

Linda Wisehart In town for my sons wedding, found K Nails and they exceeded my expectations! Paraffin manicure was lovely, Mary also helped me decide on colors- she didnt like the first one ( neither did I) and she took the time to remove all toes polished and start over. Had an acrylic fill in , she created a smoother and more natural shape- plus trimmed cuticle ( which I have gotten kn my hometown with acrylics!). She also took the time yo show me different combinations of color+ chrome treatments to select best for mother of groom. Really attentive, atmosphere is relaxed and more spa-like; very clean and organized. Lots of colors and treatments offered. Post-manicure shoulder/neck rub is out of this world. If I lived here, K Nails would be my go-to salon. Fantastic experience!!!!

Brooklynn Stauffer Absolutely relaxing time! So happy and in love with how my nails turned out. Very talented, and I spent just the right amount of time there! I would highly recommend! (I got detailed acrylics and they are stunning)

annika wolfgram Best nail experience I have ever had! I have always felt as though other places rush through my nails but here they made sure to take their time, ask if I liked them, made sure the shape was perfect and even tried multiple colors on me to make sure I liked it. The great service plus a mimosa was amazing, would recommend!
