Funny Bunny Nails & Spa - Seattle (WA)

1 /5 Preeti Pental: I initially wrote a review about my experience right after it happened, received a phone call from the owner (Michael) telling me he would make things right and humbly requested me to remove my review. This is a small business and I never want to hurt a small business, so I did. Michael has since been unresponsive to me and has not reached out to offer for my nails to be fixed or for be to get a refund, so I am re-writing a review, but this time from a more rational, less angry place. I went into Funny Bunny on Friday around 12pm on Friday (10/18). The nail spa had several service providers sitting or standing, and about two patrons actively being served by other service providers. I was assigned to Martin (there are other reviews about this man) and asked by the woman who assigned me to pick out a color. I walked over to the area where the nail color samples are located and started to pick out a color and shortly after I started looking through colors (~less than 2 minutes), Martin repeatedly asked if I found a color. Martin was standing very physically close to me and stepped away twice and said verbatim "I need more time to find a color." After my second time stating this, Martin snatched the nail colors out of my hand and told me to go sit down, which I was shocked by so I laughed and complied with it. I really just assumed he had a strange sense of humor, but I didnt believe he was actually upset with me for taking the time to pick a color I wanted. Believe you me, I would have rushed to pick a color had the nail spa been pretty busy, but it was not. Martin then started on my nails and seemed pretty upset with me (e.g., rolling his eyes, aggressively moving my hands and fingers into the position he needed). The color I picked had absolutely no color pay off, so he asked me to pick another color. Please note that the first color not working was not my fault, and at this point, there was still no one waiting for service. I picked the second color, didnt like it, and asked him to change it after he painted one single coat. Please note that he asked me if I liked this color. Had he not asked me, I would have just continued with this color, I believe he asked me because it was the salons fault rather than the me, the patrons fault, that the initial color didnt work. I picked a third and final color (that Ive gotten before) and Martin proceeded to say "are you sure about this color?" and told me to stop changing my mind, even though this is factually inconsistent with what actually happened. I asked for a round shape and I came into the salon with a perfect, round shape, so I am not sure how we got to the angular mess featured in the pictures. The pictures show a gel manicure, but it doesnt even look like my nails have a top coat on them. Martin was also pinching my fingers and digging into them with his nails, which seemed like an anger response and felt pretty intentional to me. After I posted my initial review, Michael (the owner), called me and I shared with him what happened. To my shock, Michael said "between you and me, Martin doesnt like women." You cant make this up. I have no clue why Michael would even tell me that, but if Martin doesnt like women, he shouldnt be working at a nail spa. Ive never had an experience that made me feel physically accosted and uncomfortable, but Martin definitely made me feel that way and I would never want another young girl or woman to feel that way. When I look through other reviews, it seems to me that this isnt the first time Martin has made someone feel this way. I will literally never go back, and I recommend you dont either.

3 /5 Mari Maier: I paid for a deluxe manicure and a full set and the whole service was rushed. The gentleman who did my set was very friendly and did a decent job on my nails but I’ve paid less for better. I’m used to a manicure being a 30 minute service and full set an hour and I was done in about 50 minutes total for both. I didn’t realize until later that a few of my nails were crooked and that was on me but they were busy and I also didn’t want to hold them up, however I made an appointment and feel as though appointments shouldn’t be rushed through. I went because I was in Seattle for the weekend but wouldn’t go out of my way to go back.

3 /5 Agnes Dobo: I went to Funny Bunny 3 different occasions and had both mani and pedi. Here are my thoughts. Positives: great location - it’s very central, close to my home and to work as well. Availability of appointments - plenty of available appointments, even for the same day. Negatives: - They can’t do a decent looking builder gel manicure. Nails look very thick and the shape is uneven. It looks shockingly cheap. - Price is up with the most expensive salons and the quality doesn’t justify the price. - Their tipping options are ridiculous with 20% being the lowest option. I understand we aren’t obliged to tip but it’s annoying that they have the audacity to put a 50% option, given the low quality service provided. - Staff hardly speak English and it is very rude when they speak to each other in their language instead of interacting with the clients. Overall, I give Funny Bunny 3 stars because their pedicure is ok, the location is great and it’s good when you have an emergency but overall I would not recommend it as a go to place. I gave them a chance 3 times and tried different nail technicians but the results were always somewhat disappointing. I will not return.

5 /5 Elizabeth Cromwell: I had a great experience here and will be back for future gel manicures: my stylist was Martin and I will be asking for him next time too. He was polite, patient, delicate in his manicure and manner. He is super precise and careful. I have short rough nails and he made them look so pretty!!! Also I get nervous as sometimes gels are so thick they look weird but mine are perfect. Just a bit jelly like and not too thick. Also you can see that he took great care of my cuticles. ( Dont mind my old lady hands, those arent his fault)
