Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Olympia, WA

Stephaine Barry I have been coming to Pearl nails since April/May of 2019, and I won’t go anywhere else. Mai is amazing and always executes my idea onto my nails! This salon does it all!

Andrea H. I absolutely love Pearl Nails! I have been a client if Trinitys for almost 8 years. I will go no where else.

Emma Kelly I love pearl nails! I haven been coming here for awhile and they are the best. Trinity is so sweet and listens to what you want! You don’t feel rushed or anything! The nails are quality and last! It’s not overly priced!!

Lin Sciaccotta Ive been going to Eva, the owner of Oasis Nail Bar, for many years to get dip polish. Shes always pleasant to visit and meticulous in her work. Recently, when I had missed an appointment with Eva and she was too booked to fit me in, I scheduled with one of her new technicians, Tracy. She also did an excellent job on my nails. I Have been to many nail salons and continue to recommend Eva and Oasis highly. Lin

Alix Farmer Oasis is by far my favorite place for nails. Eva is meticulous, detail oriented, and very gentle with my nails. I don’t trust anybody else to do dip manicures. She also enjoys and takes pride in her work, which is rare to find these days. I would recommend Oasis Nail Bar to all my friends and family. Check it out, you will not regret it!

Sarah Wuerker I have been getting dip manicures from Eva for about a year and a half now and don’t trust anyone else with my nails. She is kind, hard working, detail oriented and gentle. I highly recommend her to anyone :)

Brandi Carbonneau I travel for work and she got me in right away. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made it identical if not even better! Super sweet and kind. Definitely felt welcomed and valued. 10/10 recommend. I’ll be coming here every time I’m in town. Thank you again!!!

Jeanne Harris I love Nails Plus! Theyre very responsive when I need them and are always professional, clean, and quick! Ive never had a manicure I didnt love! My favorite day is when I get a mani-pedi at Nails Plus!

Tracy Andersen Loved this place. Amazing job on mine and my daughter toes. They were kind to my great grandson and also conversed with us while working on our feet. Absolutely a pleasure.

Casey O. I used to go here all the time to get my acrylics done. I’m not sure what’s happened in the past year or so since I’ve been, but it’s not what I remember. I went with my two friends (one of the friends and I got new acrylic sets and the other friend got a manicure). The customer service was pretty adequate, but the nails themselves ended up being a bit shy of adequate considering the sets were $60 each (not including tip). I’m not even sure what made mine $60 when the sign says “$45 and up” and I only did one small heart on each ring finger. No special polish or anything. Standard gel. Mine all leaned to the right, but when I pointed it out the lady said it won’t look that way when the polish is on. That was not a correct observation. And it’s not my fingers. They all leaned the same exact angle. I’ve fixed them now that I’m home. My friend did a glitter dip French tip. But the lady who started to do them started just adding a glitter polish instead. My friend stopped them and asked to do the dip as she had originally wanted. The tech said it’d be $15 extra (but the nail examples had $10 extra written on it). It seemed as if that tech didn’t know how to do dips or really didn’t want to. But ended up doing it as my friend asked. When she pointed out that one of her nails didn’t have as much glitter as any of the other fingers, the tech essentially just kindly disagreed and moved on. My other friend had a fine manicure, she just had one nail slightly longer than all the others. When we left, we saw just how different my other acrylics friend had of glitter on her pointer. We re-entered to have them fix it (which they kindly agreed to), but ended up waiting about 20 minutes for a 2 minute fix. Makes me very sad that I’ll have to find somewhere else now that I’ve had this experience. It was hard enough finding a good place to begin with a couple years ago.

Belen S I went here to get my nails done after not doing them for a very long time. I had a full set with really pretty diamonds and I had a pedicure with gel polish. The fake nails were too long and even though I told the man to cut them shorter because I have a little child he told me that longer looks nicer I was too shy to say something so I left them like that. Although my gel polish lasted a while on my toes, I ended up getting toenail fungus and my whole toenail came off. It’s very upsetting because I paid $185 for both my full set and my pedicure. I was so shocked when they told me the price But I was too embarrassed to say anything so I just paid it. I told myself this was probably going to be the last time I ever get my nails done at a salon because of the price. I think I was way over charged. Although I did like my nails at the time even though they were too long I don’t think that it was worth it because I lost my toenail, my nails didn’t last, and now I have toenail fungus.

Rachel Neuman Ive only been there a few times and yes, the wait times are long, but the quality put into the manicures Ive had is the best Ive ever experienced! Way better & cheaper than t-spa. I will continue to go here.

Mishele Mauney Absolutely the best haircut I’ve ever received!! Patti is the best, her instincts about what will work for you — style, color, length are always spot on! I totally trust Salon Milano!

Jessi A little pricey, but high quality. They do facials on Saturdays in a very comfortable setting with nice music, but be prepared to still hear the activities going on in the Salon as well. They sell gift cards. The restroom is clean and everyone gets their own towel. Very nice place with a resident chocolate lab. Receptionist is extremely kind and understanding when Google Maps led me astray. (Dont worry, I submitted a correction already. She said she had called several times to get it corrected, but I think doing it online did the trick!)

Mishele Sturgill Patti is the best! My hair is fantastic every time. You cant get a better haircut anywhere. And my color is stunning. Salon Milano is a treasure!

V.C. Drake Nelli N. Saw to my needs. She has just the right abilities to cut my hair precisely as I need. Without being disappointed.

Lourene OBrien Dan is skilled, creative, and funny. I look forward to my appointments each time

AJ Nellie is exceptional!

Irina Lucaciu Milk & Honey is the best nail studio you can imagine. Karen is an angel. She is also the best at what she does. I lived in the area for 3 years, and went to Milk & Honey every 2-3 weeks for the entire period, always looking forward to my appointments and conversations with Karen. Her studio space is always immaculate and inviting, and she has an impressive attention to detail. My nails became so much stronger during this time period and I learned so much about how to properly take care of them myself. I hope the pictures speak for themselves!

Esther Pitts Karen @ Milk & Honey Nail Studio is incredibly talented and artistic, always bringing my craziest nail design ideas to life with ease. Her kind and calm demeanor, coupled with her cute and clean studio, creates an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere each visit. She is undoubtedly one of the best at gel structured manicures in town.

Nicole Lester Karen is an amazing artist and her attention to detail is exquisite. The studio is bright, cheery, and clean. Would highly recommend Milk & Honey to friends and family for all of your manicure needs.

Kate Austin This is crazy. I have been coming to this place since they opened and went to happy nails prior to that. I haven’t had my nails done in over a year because I have two small babies at home and generally don’t have time to do anything for myself. I got a standard full set with almond shape (Erin was awesome) then I got a pedicure because it’s been an even longer time since I did that. I go to check out thinking I’m paying the normal pricing since no one said a single thing about extra charges for my toes or nails.. I paid $176 for an almond full set and acrylic toes (1st time doing that). My nails and toes look great BUT NOT $176 worth. I about had a heart attack at that price. For someone who NEVER gets their nails done and to be blind sided by extra charges is crazy. I can almost see the toes being more but not the nails… I am highly confused. HIGHLY. if told extra charges I would have said no and came up with a different plan to get. Unfortunately I will not be returning for these prices. I would never be able to afford that monthly or biweekly like most. Communication and customer service go hand in hand.

Dana B This is the second time I’ve gone to Posh nails and I won’t be going back. The first time was a little over a week ago. I got a full set, my daughter got a manicure. I was told the charge was $20 for my daughter and didn’t ask about price for my full set. I chose the same inspiration look both visits. The first time, the paint was not too bad but, the acrylics were awful. The transition from my nail bed to the acrylic was nonexistent. It was bubbled up so high my nails looked fat and the shape was done very messy and uneven. They charged $76. Which I wouldn’t complain about if I didn’t have to ask the nail tech if she was going to clean up my cuticles, if I actually received almond, if the points weren’t shaped in all different directions and if the nail didn’t look bubbled. I paid and tipped $10. I didn’t tell them how bad I thought it looked. I figured I’d give them another chance when I had time to go back. After attending my family Christmas dinner I began filing the bubbled nails down and shaped them. I went back last night for the second try. I asked for a fill even though it had only been a little over a week. My natural nail was barely showing. They charged $46 for the fill and $10 for paint. The girl began filing near my cuticles and filing the remaining polish from the nail. It was painful. She was pressing hard with the E-file and today my nails are throbbing. The fill and shape looked ok but, to be fair…I set her up with a good shape to begin with. While she was filing she kept slipping and gouging the acrylic. The paint is horrible. She didn’t clean up her mistakes with remover after and I had to ask her to remove paint from my hands. The paint is lumpy and uneven. The design is way off and doesn’t resemble the inspiration photo I gave her. This took 2 hours. They charged $56, I gave a $4 tip and said nothing. On a positive note, the second girl was very sweet.

Ashley Jenson Had a pedicure and a manicure. They were nice and patient with me. (I tend to get stressed out when I get pampered, im not used to it). They were very nice and the pedicure got rid of most of my dry cracked heels. (My heels were really bad). Now my manicure was amazing. The technician took the time to do details and layer colors to the design I wanted. My nails turned out really pretty. It did cost more than I thought but Ill come back again.

Chrissy Foster Got my nails don’t here by Vi and all I can say is I LOVE them!!! I’m supposed to only have natural or neutral colors for work and I asked her if she could do a natural hombre and she killed it!! I couldn’t be happier. Vi is great!

sammy shaye will forever be my go to nail salon. the owners are family people, and set you a safe friendly environment:) it’s more like a friend doing your nails not someone trying to take money from you. they listen to what you want with your nails and do perfect. I’ve never had a good french tip until i started coming here. i never have an issue with how my nails turn out. love them.

Annita Fejeran First time here & me and my 9yr daughter had an amazing experience. We both got pedicures, daughter got a manicure & I got a full set! Danny was amazing took care of us he did our pedicures & hes the one that did my daughters nails. She had a great time. He made her feel so comfortable and understood what she wanted, gave her ideas and she loved it! My daughter wants to go back and only wants him. Vee did my nails and I love it. She takes her time and my nails are even. The design is perfect. Thank you. My daughter and I will definitely be back to see them. :) 10/10 recommend

Andrea Lawrence I was looking for a salon that was quiet and used more gentle products than the conventional volume based salons. Tatiana met and exceeded my expectations! She is friendly, kind and welcoming but doesn’t force small chat-I loved this about her. I came in for a shellac manicure with some ideas for designs thinking they were too complicated and she took one look and said “I can do that!” I gave her creative liberty and she put her own personal touch on the design without straying too far from the original. I absolutely loved it, and it lasted a 2 solid weeks despite me being very hard on my hands. Her work is so amazingly detailed and professional. Highly recommend!!!

Lindsay N I’ve had multiple different services from Tatiana and she is AMAZING. Her shop is clean and stylish and I absolutely love the individualized approach and feel of both her and the shop. She is personable, caring and knows a lot about nails and lashes! I’ve had lash extensions from her and they turned out amazing! She is extremely meticulous and even my husband noticed and told me how great they looked. I’ve had a shellac mani which lasted longer than two weeks and I am hard on my nails! My nails actually feel stronger after having it done. She taught me a lot about caring for my nails during the appointment, which I really appreciated. I had no idea how much more I should be caring for my nails! I’ve had a pedicure as well which was extremely relaxing. I’ll definitely be going back and she has a customer for life! Thank you Tatiana!!

Kierra I came to tatiana from a referral about her dry pedicures. I hadnt heard of them before so booked one plus a manicure and underarm wax. I was super impressed with her knowledge and attention to detail! She took her time being thorough with my cuticles and nails. And she did the cutest design for me! Its been over a week and my gel polish hasnt budged. Before i use to struggle with gel lifting and not staying, but tatiana informed me it all has to do with the prep. Which she was great with. Thank you for doing such quality work!

Katrina Holmes I am filled with immense gratitude for Kathy and her son Tony. They went above and beyond to accommodate my mother, who has cancer. Their nail care service was exceptional, and I will now be a regular customer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

M K My mother and I got great service from the owner! He was incredibly friendly and talked to us about life in Vietnam vs. here. However, when my mother goes on her own, he is apparently not talkative. He also always remarks on how short my mother’s nails are, which is honestly obnoxious. She’s a practical woman who likes them short, so what? It doesn’t mean they can’t be short AND pretty. And he doesnt get paid by the length of the nail for a gel manicure. I just got a simple gel manicure, but it’s well done, and the color is gorgeous! However, it has started peeling off earlier than I had expected… Thank you for a nice pampering mother-daughter day.

Tay C. For your nails deserves your business. The nail salon is clean and stylish. I was greeted right away and sat down to start my nails. Lee Lee was an amazing nail tech. She listened to my picky requests and delivered with a smile. Her artistic vision gave me the most beautiful nails. Best nail prices in the Lacey area. Just look at my nails, the shaping and quality speaks for itself.

Reilly Kai 10/10 best brow and lash specialists in Olympia! All of the staff are so incredibly talented. I do not and wouldn’t not let anyone else touch my brows - only Honey Beauty. I been seeing the owner Kelsey for the past 14+ years. She is incredible and SUCH a joy to chat with during the service!

Sarah Evers My daughter and I have been going to Honey for quite some time now. Not only is Kelsey an amazing eyebrow artist she is a beautiful soul and it really shines through in the calm, peaceful, radiant and relaxing space that she has created her clients.

Alexis Lance Kelsey is absolutely amazing! She takes her time and ensures every detail is perfect. When I’m in her chair, I feel like I’m on cloud nine! Her attitude and energy creates such a relaxing experience, it truly feels like a spa day.I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my brows!

Erica Encarnacion From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the experience was nothing short but magical. I recommend this place to anyone who is or has a loved one going through chemo and is needing a haircut. The owner was wonderful and the staff were all so kind and welcoming. Thank you from the Fischer family.

William Rollins Great place. Clean and soothing environment. Recently had a pedicure and facial on 2 seperate visits. Emmy is quite delightful and a pleasure to talk with. She is very customer focused and assuring with unobstrusive feedback. Ill definitely be going back to try their other services. Let me add that Mike did a really great job on giving me a haircut. No one pushes product, and they are eager to share their extensive knowledge.

Christina Welch I booked a facial and massage here. The facial was great. I dont have a lot of experience receiving facials so I dont have much to compare it to. Char was awesome though and explained what she was doing and talked about the products without being pushy about selling them. The massage was a huge disappointment though. I do have extensive experience receiving massages and have been trying to find a place to get one every few weeks, but this place wont be it. The therapist smelled of cigarettes and had horrible coffee breath. As she worked on my neck she was breathing it right into my face. I left with a headache from the smell. Her nails were too long and kept slightly digging into me, which was uncomfortable. I also couldnt help but wonder what kind of bacteria could be harbored under them. She placed the bolster directly under my legs instead of under the sheet, which didnt feel great. The bolster needs to at least have a pillow case over it. Her technique was promising but her strokes werent thorough and left many areas unworked, especially in the neck, which I really needed.

Vanessa Adams My experience at Holly nails is 100/10! I came several weeks ago for a set of acrylic nails including one extremely damaged nail in the process of growing back that I thought was undixable! It was the first time and Pugh did a phenomenal job. I have been multiple times for fills and they are efficient, affordable and do a phenomenal job. I brought my daughter for a birthday pedicure and we had another great experience. It is clean with a great vibe. Would absolutely recommend to all!

Heidi Stinson Lee is absolutely amazing-whatever design I come with he more than captures, and is so attentive. The shop is clean and welcoming (they just did some upgrades that look great) and all of their staff are friendly! I came from a great tech in Texas, but Holly Nails surpasses them!

keona brewer I came in with huge nails that did not fit my finger or look good at all that I got done at Modern nails here in lacey. Thien saved them for me and made them fit and look very beautiful on my hands as well as charging me only $20. Two days later I came in for a pedicure and it was the best pedicure ive ever gotten seriously ! This place is family owned and all of them are friendly and talented ! I highly recommend this place & I am so glad I have found a new spot. (the first nails are the original ones & the second photo is after he fixed them.)

Amy Megan I got an SNS dip manicure and Mechi Thac did an amazing job! I will def be back!

Crystal Duke They were super friendly and nice. I wish that they would have put better polish or cover on my sons nails. They started to come off in 2 days. My toes, on the other hand, are still perfect.

Edwenna Schultz My experience was less than ok! I did not feel welcome! They used the same tools on everyone! They were in a bowl with a lot of other tools that were used on previous customers and were not sanitized. I felt like I was bothering them by being there. I had my 5 year old granddaughter with me and no one else was there and they were going to charge me to use their WiFi and wouldn’t let her watch cartoons on YouTube. I spent almost 4 hours and $240. You would think it would have been complimentary. The services were less than ok. Nothing special! I did not enjoy the pedicure at all. I had eyelash extensions and I asked for the hybrid and was given the classic which wasn’t as long, and one side is shorter than the other. I used the coupon offered on their website and they were not happy with that. If they didn’t want to use it they shouldn’t have offered it! I will not go back!

Danielle Taylor The place was okay.. the pedicure came out okay but I will say when they start adding things on your nails/toes that you did not ask for and increasing your total then it gets a little annoying because I did not ask for that you know? And also do not get your waxing done here I understand everyone’s experience is different but my experience was terrible the lady that did my eyebrows was rough kept pushing my face around, and the wax was too hot it burned me the picture is day 2 of my burn the areas still hurt, and it feels like my skin is so raw.. this was not a good experience and I hope they take better care of their next waxing clients because now I have to walk around with burn marks on my face for who knows how long.

Alicia Jensen Went in Tue afternoon, talked about an idea… they were happy to try. Excellent service, they turned out great, nails and toes.

Lynzi Swanson I will definitely be going back! First nail salon to actually listen to what I want in Thurston county! Very clean environment, friendly ladies.

Madison Gruhn I love my girls at design nails. They are absolutely phenomenal in every way possible. They are absolutely stellar and are so kind, funny, and our super understanding. I have known Trang For a long time, and she has been one of the best nail tech I’ve ever had!

Keely Hultgren I highly recommend this wonderful salon! Its very comfortable and reasonably priced with a kind, helpful staff. Helen did fantastic work and Im very pleased with how my seasonal french tip gel manicure turned out.

Kaila Fowler I came in close to closing time and they told me they would take care of me no problem at all they are very friendly ladies and always do an amazing job I always leave happy with the way my nails look. I also love that it is always very clean in there salon.
