Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Tacoma, WA

Judith Brown Rosie is the best! If your looking for individual, precise attention to your nails go here!!

Ashley Freeman They were so nice to me!! The last nail place I went to was dirty and did a terrible job on my nails! Friendly nails not only fixed my nails but made them so much better. 10 out of 10 recommend. She does hand painted nail designs too!

Leslie Lawrence Ive had my nails done there for 4 years. I moved a little bit away and tried other places but nothing compares to the work he does. Nails never break and I can go a week extra w/no issues! He does exactly what I ask and is very nice! I prefer Brian over the other gal by far! She doesnt listen to what you want and piles on the polish so its thick an uneven and the last time she polished my nails she got it all over my cuticles as well. So I only go to him and make sure he polishes them. Picture is of 3 week grow out. No broken nails, polish is still in tact! And Im rough on my nails for sure! You wont be disappointed!

Lana Lutsenko Called the place and asked if I could show up without an appointment. Had my nails done the way I want it. I love the design. Im definitely coming back

Metro Pcs I have been using Kelly nail for 16+ years now. Kelly is always personable and has become more than just my nail/Pedi gal. I consider her a friend. Kelly does an amazing job! I highly recommend her. Its best to make an appointment as she is always busy, she is more than happy to schedule you.

Mary Algood My family loves Kelly and go to her everytime! Update: Feb 2025, still love coming to her. She is amazing!

Debi Riley I love Kellys Nails! She is so kind and personable! Great caring work. My finger nails were mushy, peeling and now much more healthy!

Autumn Flirt She is absolutely amazing! Shes super pleasant to talk with and be around. She takes her time and does am amazing job! AND her prices are reasonable! I will forever go to vana nails from now on!

Jayda Wyatt Not sure what all the bad reviews are about but i only had to pay $30 for acrylic really good price nowadays!! Loved the turn out little messy painting job but I don’t mind it’s still very good. Love this place.

Tylicia Messiah The customer service at this place was far less than exceptional. The owner gave me a paint although I wanted a pedicure. Claiming she was busy, there was no one in the shop. Just my friend, one other customer and another Nail Tech. She left me out to air dry, didn’t offer me sandals nor did she point me in the direction of any drying station. The pedicure seats were disgusting. Old water sitting in nearly all of them and the seat closet to my friend legitimately looked like it was being used for a dust pan. Assuming because I complained, I was asked if I wanted to go outside before my nails even dried. Mentioning the wet paint, I was met with heavy glares and literal insults. 0/10 would not recommend.

Amanda Williams I was so happy I found Darlene because I was really trying to find a private nail salon to be comfortable getting my nails done in. I showed her a picture from Pinterest of my idea and she had no problems bringing it to life. She was great to talk to and had a very clean and professional workspace. Extra cozy and I even got a gift bag for the holidays! Already scheduled another appointment with her once we were done because I was so happy with the experience. She also stuck to the costs on her website which I was surprised and happy about considering my ideas. Excited to come back!

Kala Cannon Darlene was very friendly and easy to talk with. I would definitely recommend her. I also purchased a set of her custom design press on nails. They are beautiful.

Aspen Torres Darlene is the most down to earth, funny, kind hearted nail tech I have EVER met. When you come into her salon you immediately have trinkets all around you to look at, your choice of music, and a very intimate atmosphere. This is a place of healing and gorgeous nails. You’ll always have the opportunity to either be completely comfortably silent with her or have a yap/therapy sesh while getting your nails done. This is the PLACE, if you had any second thoughts I hope this helps make up your mind. Her nail design work, impeccable and so is SHE. She has a claw machine in case you have a hard time deciding what you want. She has thought of EVERY detail. I used to be apprehensive about Gel x but she made me LOVE THEM! They feel natural and beautiful.

Ganya Hosei I always have a great experience here! Christine did my nails and she did an amazing job always !! Super clean and exactly what I asked for. The service is consistently good, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for quality work and friendly staff. Thank you !

Lam Hoang VT I had a really good experience at Princess Nails Tacoma. The salon was clean, and the staff was friendly and professional. My nail tech took their time and paid attention to detail, which I really appreciated. The color selection was great, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of service. The atmosphere was calm, making it a nice place to relax. Overall, I’m happy with how my nails turned out and will definitely be coming back. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good nail salon in Tacoma.

Jeffrey Mcleod This place always takes care of us!!! Great work and happy staff! Clean and comfortable place too. Brought the whole family in this time and went all in on our daughter for her birthday!! Thank you for taking such good care of us!!! We will be back soon

Erin Walker Absolutely wonderful! Close to family while visiting the area and decided to pop in to get my nails done. Owner is super nice and did a great job! Will definitely come again when Im in the area!

Mari W I’ve been here three times so far, for an acrylic set and two fills, and it’s been great every time. Super high quality and they hold up really well. I’ve gone 4 weeks between each fill and they still look great when I come back in (aside from being long and grown out of course). The acrylic does not break or lift, and the polish hasn’t chipped or worn off. I’ll keep coming back!

Krislyn Turner I have been here twice for a full set and a fill, both times were great! They are really nice, and I will be coming back

Biby Oh I’ve been coming to Su since 2021 and I have always loved every single design she has done! I bring pictures for inspiration but I always tell her to do her thing lol!! Never disappoints and I get tons of compliments. Best nail artist in town!!

Lora Ostby I always have an amazing experience going to Sue for my nails! Her creativity and skills are the best! My nails were so unhealthy and would break until I went to her. She made my nails strong, healthy, and beautiful!

Raquelle Thompson I’m so thankful that I found Su’s shop! She’s so nice and made me feel so welcomed and like I was with a close friend. She took her time and really did an amazing job on my nails and cuticles. Also took out my ingrown toe nails that was such a relief. She’s the first nail artist to take time and care about my nails. Her prices are great and it’s worth it because she puts love and time into her work. If you’re looking for a new nail place in the Tacoma area please consider and come to Su’s!!!! The best service and care I’ve experienced at a nail salon.

Hannah Dierks Chloe is just the sweetest person and a wonderful nail artist. I’m so happy with my nails, it’s my favorite set ever! 10/10 would recommend Chloe and 37 Nails. Justin also helped remove my old set and was fantastic. They keep a very clean and organized nail salon.

Diana Navarrete So happy to have found 37 nails! I recently moved to Tacoma and have had a difficult time finding a salon I like (I am very picky) but I am really happy to make the 20 min drive to come see Chloe and the rest of the staff! Place is clean, love their electronic appointment system, and have always felt like they see me right on time. Definitely recommend you check them out! My nails are perfect!

Lisa B. I’ve been going to 37 Nails for a while now, but just wanted to showcase how talented Chloe is from the last Gel X full set she did for me. Daniel has been out of town, but he also does great work. For reference, I always request nail designs and am very particular about how I like my nails.

Jacob Durham I highly recommend getting your nails done at this charming little family-owned shop in University Place. They serve delicious coffee and tea, and their nail services are top-notch!

Ashley Gorba Tori is amazing! I had a horrible experience at another salon with dip nails and she made mine look so good. Everyone is super nice there, they dont rush you at all. The salon is super clean, comfortable and pretty.

Amanda Decker Best nail shop in town! I get compliments at work every time I get my nails done. I’ve come here for almost 3 years now, never had a bad experience. I usually do a dip powder manicure and gel pedicures. I really appreciate that they don’t take walk -ins( appointments only). I don’t feel rushed , it’s organized, no chaos, and they have excellent customer service/atmosphere. This is a female owned business and one of the best places I’ve been and I’ve lived all over the US. Don’t be that person and not read the cancellation policy and come in knowing what you want on time.

liz Santos I went to do my nails a very bad job, and I didnt really say anything because they get angry and I could charge you more for fixing the mess they do. I feel very sorry for seeing gone there

Ciru Gakio I have been a customer with them since early last year. I love that they open late, and open on Sundays. Allows me to get my nails done even when my schedule is busy during regular hours. Tina is very knowledgeable and experienced. She always executes designs that I have on photos. Service is also quick and very reasonably priced. Never had a nail fall off, or break between services. Am satisfied and happy with the services that I receive from them.

Cherie Ferrell CHILD ABUSE Me and my two daughters came here ages 3 and 8. They both got pedicures and nails painted. My 3 year old fell asleep. She grabbed her hand and yanked her up started yelling no no. Scared my daughter. I told her not to touch my daughter like this she then yelled at me saying she already fixed it 2 times. I don’t care if her nails get messed up. Don’t touch my daughter like that. She didn’t apologize to me or my 3 year old. I will never be back to this nail salon. Update as we left I told her she should apologize and not ever touch anyone’s child like that she started yelling at me calling me a bad mom. She said she painted them twice already and she didn’t care she was sleeping yelling at me. That was insane they will never get my business again. CHILD ABUSE

Savannah Ladd First time coming here and I was very happy! I loved the salon very clean and pretty and the ladies were all so sweet and professional I am definitely coming back :)

Chelsie Allen I highly recommend KD nails! I had been going to another shop in town, but my favorite girl left, so I had to find a new place. I had been to this location years ago and wasnt happy with it, but they are under new ownership and have new staff. Love the ladies at this shop. They are so nice and fun to talk to :) They do beautiful nails! Check them out!

DEryka C Daisy absolutely slayed my Christmas nails! I love coming here and getting my nails done, they always do an amazing job and the ladies here are so sweet.

Amelia Strayer The most consistent nail salon I’ve been to. It’s now my go-to. I always get a regular manicure and a gel pedicure. I have a consmetically damaged big toe nail that they do acrylic on and it’s perfect! They’re very meticulous and caring in their service. Will keep coming back!!!

Gracie S Thank you Vee for the lovely pedicure. Loved everything including the towel and hot stone at the end. I’ll be back soon. Highly recommended!

Gladys Mondragon They do such an amazing job everytime.

Alison Gutierrez I have been going to Karina for years and have watched her business blossom into thee most amazing empire of nail bosses. She is so happy and eager to teach the next generation of nail techs. The cleanliness of the shop is impeccable and the quality of the work produced is unlike no other. I ALWAYS get compliments on my nails. She has techniques that i haven’t seen any other techs use. She is literally the nail boss. I am so happy and excited for her to do my wedding set.

Carmen I was really looking forward to trying this place. I booked an appointment and the experience was horrible. I came in for a full set and pedicure. 5 hours after I sat down I was still getting my nails done. I had to leave without a pedicure because it took so long. There was no heat and it was snowing outside, it was literally freezing. The nail tech I booked the appointment with had a picture of what I wanted ahead of time and said she could do it. The finished result looked nothing like what I asked for. It’s only been 5 days and my nails are already lifting. I 1000% expected better work and a better experience from all positive reviews and pictures I saw prior to coming in. The only best things I have to say about this place is my nail tech was nice and the establishment was very clean and spacious. She just needs a lot more practice. Transparency on skill level would’ve much appreciated as I’m extremely flexible and understanding. Including pictures of what I asked for vs. what I got for reference.

Olivia Clark I found Madelyn on Instagram! She is thorough, attentive, and just generally amazing! Im also in the beauty industry so Im extremely picky about what nail salons I go to. Capricorn Nails is not only adorable, but very clean! Everyone seems super friendly and I love the vibe of the place. 11/10 would recommend

Stacey Largesse I had an amazing experience here today! The salon is beautiful, with a calming, upscale atmosphere, and the service was impeccable. My nail technician was incredibly skilled and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. They offer a wide range of high-quality products, and my nails came out looking flawless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier nail salon! I’ll definitely be back.

Tasha Brown I visited on 10/27/2024 for a gel fill design and a pedicure, but by the next day, my nails and toes began chipping. I reached out to Hannah, the owner, and she informed me that I had three days to return for assistance. I explained that my long work hours wouldn’t allow me to come in until the weekend, but she reiterated the three-day policy and couldn’t help further. I spent over a hundred dollars, and it’s disappointing that no compensation or discount for a future visit was offered.

TM Wd I think I was over charged, I didn’t even get what I wanted, I’ve never been charged $40 for a manicure with clear gel coating. I believed it was not worth the price, the picture is right out the door of the nail salon. ***UPDATE*** my nails peeled three days later. Such a waste of money.

Courtney Dropped my car off at Lexus of fife for an oil change and Ubered over to blossom nail salon to get a full set! I was told about this place by a friend. I was immediately started on, no handwashing or grabbing a new towel for the counter and there were nails still on the counter. I should’ve left then then while the lady was taking off my old set pretty aggressively and cut through my real nail and then continued to use the same clippers and not use any alcohol to clean my nail before trying to put on the same glue she’s used on hundreds of other people. At that moment I said I was alright paying whatever and I will not be going through with this service. Not clean whatsoever. Nice people but not clean.

tegan moore it was a very nice experience and my nails came out super pretty! the staff were nice.

Isabel Forest I had the absolute best experience at Blossom in Fife! Tina is an absolute gem. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She’s incredibly talented and clearly passionate about her craft. Tina took her time to ensure every detail was perfect. The shaping, the polish, the designs—everything was flawless! She also listened to exactly what I wanted and gave great suggestions that made my nails look even better than I had imagined. What stood out the most was her attention to cleanliness and precision. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and prioritizes her clients’ satisfaction. On top of that, she’s such a kind and friendly person, which made the entire appointment even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who will give you gorgeous nails and an amazing experience, I can’t recommend Tina enough. I’ll definitely be back!

Sara Rigg I’ve always had a great experience here. Nails last a long time and they do awesome and attentive work. One time, I came in with my niece and she got hers done for free. It’s a great local gem.

Aubrey Mckinney Thanh went above and beyond with my nails. He was very thorough, asked little things like if I wanted more rounded coffin shape or more square coffin shape, he did wonderful on the shape and design, and he kept checking in throughout the whole process to make sure everything looked how I wanted it to. He was paid a lot of attention to detail and was very gentle compared to most other people Ive had before.

Jamie W Got my wedding nails done here. The gentleman who helped me did a good job of creating the design from my inspiration photos. He helped me decide which fingers to leave blank and which to do more detailed designs on. Also very fast experience and no issues with rubbing my skin with the file like Ive had at some other places. Very reasonable prices here too. Overall I was very very happy with the outcome and got tons of compliments. I wore them until they grew out and had no issues with breaking or chipping. The shop is clean, peaceful, and the music was nice.

Sabrina Jane I loooove this place. Its old fashioned and small, so no fanciness here. Christine does an AMAZING job!!! I waited almost a month (23 days to he exact) after going to rate this place to see JUST how long the gel withheld. And Ive had 2 very minor chips and THATS IT!!!! Especially hard since i work in water and my nails normally dont hold on to gel longer than a few days, a week at the most!!! I WILL be coming back!!! Pics of the day of an today!!!! See?? Only growth!!!!!! (Please note that the photos do not give the purple any justice!!)

TeyAnjulee Leon The owner, Ms. Christine is very kind. Great service, and since she only takes one client at a time, she gives great attention to detail. Great range of colors and tips. In business more than 20 years. Be sure to call ahead for an appointment. You wont regret it.

Angela Kelly I LOVE Coming Here!! Christine is THE BEST!!
