5 /5 Melissa Lakatos: I discovered Wow Nails and Marina while searching for a salon in Seattle that offered Russian manicures and pedicures. I had my first Russian mani/pedi in NYC and I was completely hooked. I was thrilled to find Marina since most of the Russian mani/ pedi places are on the east side or just nonexistent in Seattle.
I’ve been seeing her for the last year, and I love her cozy spot. Its a private room, she only takes 1 client at a time and does your entire service which feels exclusive. She is incredibly friendly and is always willing to tackle any design I bring in or helps me choose the perfect one. Marina is a total perfectionist, and the results show because I constantly get compliments on my nails. She recommends coming every 4 weeks, which I try to follow, but sometimes life happens! I have pushed the limits and my nails have lasted an impressive 5-6 weeks without any chips. Something that would not happen with traditional gel. She uses hard gel which actually better protects nails and doesn’t cause any damage. My nails are no longer brittle after seeing her regularly and grow so fast!
I highly recommend Marina if you’re looking for beautiful nails or willing to try out a Russian Manicure/ Pedicure. I guarantee you won’t go back to your regular salon because of how much more precise and perfect they will look after Marina finishes them!
