I came here on Christmas eve to get my nails done for the holiday. Service was excellent. The technician that did my nails was very thorough. I wanted to get gel since it always last longer than regular polish. He made my cuticles look very clean in no time at all. I chose a bright red polish and was pleasantly surprised that he was able to get the color all the way to the edge of my nail without getting it on the skin. I tend to look for that quality in my nail technicians. The end product was nicely manicured, shiny red nails for the holiday season. He even added snowflakes on both of my ring finger for a decorative touch. Very satisfied with my experience and will return again. The salon was clean and well maintained with interesting magazines for light reading while you wait. I had light conversation with the technician, but I usually don’t like someone that’s too chatty. They even have a TV for you to watch while getting your nails done.

Reasonably priced acrylic nails. $ 38(before tax) for full set acrylic, regular polish, gems, and glitter. They’ll do anything from classy to ratchet.

Finally found my nail spot! They pay attention to details and A+ customer service! At first I thought he shaped my nails a bit too narrow but after he polished them, I loved it!

Super nice guys. Clean facility. I wish I could give them more stars. I’m not a regular, just popped in based on Unilocal reviews to get a manicure with nail art before a holiday party I came to Seattle for. But their nail color selection was so-so, the manicure was ok, nail art was nothing to brag about. I pulled a photo up on my phone, basic dots and stripes for me, and a simple holiday design for my daughter. Both nail techs didn’t get the designs right, nail polish chipped by end of the evening.

I usually come in for my routine eyebrow wax. The shop looks awesome and I love that they have magazines and TV while you’re waiting. The place is clean and the service is impeccable!

Service was horrible. My fill is bulky and even after almost arguing with Ven, the technician, I still left unsatisfied. This place sucks and is very pricey. I was charged $ 45 for an acrylic fill and shellac polish. I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

I barely write a bad review, but I have to at this place. They are good with design, but the way they apply acrylic and filed down nail arehorrible. My nails were thin and they break off easily and my nails looked flat rather than have a slight curve like my natural nail. I’m Vietnamese so trust me I know what good nail is.

A couple days ago I came in for a design and simple manicure, and the woman who works at the shop did my nails. She did a great job! It was a simple eye design and was done very carefully. A couple days later I came back in to fix a couple chips, and they helped me right away! Great service and good prices! Also very friendly and nice conversation :)

I went here for a mani/pedi. The service was amazing. I loved chatting with The staff, they were super friendly and attentive to my needs. The foot and hand rub was wonderful and my toes and nails are perfectly manicured and painted. Also the spa is very clean, neat and organized and well-ventilated. I will return on my next visit to Seattle.

Really poor technique. Long story short I never post reviews on Unilocal but this was a serious problem. The acetone to remove my gel was left on way to long which cause my nails to start curling into my skin and it was very painful. After almost being in tears because of the pain I asked them just to get the gel off and then I just left and they still charged me. I honestly just don’t think that they really know what they are doing.

I was so excited to come in based off the reviews and Instagram page, but was highly disappointed. The staff was very friendly and gentle and did a good job with my pedicure and full set. But as soon as I showed the man the design I wanted(a simple few lines on each nail) he struggled and took off and redid THEFIRSTNAIL several times. I was already in the salon for over an hour an a half by the time he tried to do a similar design for the fifth time(literally the fifth), he finally became fed up and asked if I wanted a different design. I decided to just get no design and stick with one nail polish color, and I always get designs on my nails… I was very disappointed, this salon is not as great as its gassed up to be.

I’m here for a wedding and these gals opened early for us, gave us vip treatment. suggested how to take care of my nails better when I get home and we’re super clean and friendly! I can highly recommend this establishment! A Mother daughter team that are true pros at what they do! I sure wish I lived closer so I can frequent them! And did I say reasonably priced!

I came here for a full set about a week ago. I already had to go and get one nail fixed because it broke. They looked beautiful but the quality was horrible. Nails aren’t even 2 weeks old and they are already lifting up. Also they were super thin so most of them cracked. The only reason I went here was because they had the 3D bows. Overall the quality was not good for the price. I paid 50 for the set and then 6 dollars to get one nail fixed. If I am paying that much I expect the nails to last more then a week.

This place was recommended to me by a gal with the most on point nails. Decided to try it out for a gel pedicure & I am so happy. My technician showed a lot of care towards my nails, making sure each finger nail had smooth edges & no dust or cotton fluff before applying the polish(she wiped & inspected each nail after I washed my hands). There wasn’t a lot of talking, which I prefer — it enhances the relaxing. She was incredibly detail oriented & was very kind. I will definitely be returning & perhaps even indulging in a little freelance art.

I live just minutes away from Couture Nails and, based on others’ reviews, I decided to give it a try. I went in for a full set mani and spa pedi, and I could not be happier with the results and great customer service! It’s a family-owned nail salon and I was helped by all three nail techs in the shop — the owner(I forgot her name!), TN and Tony. Each one has their own strengths and work together to deliver the best service and results to you. The owner started with a spa pedi, and when I told her what I wanted on my hands, she recommended a better polish to go on my toes to match. If you’re indecisive like me, advice like this is always welcome and I’m glad she spoke up! Next, Tony took care of me and handled my full set acrylics. He shaped them exactly how I wanted and was very detailed. Finally, TN took the helm and designed my nails. She has an Instagram account, @CoutureNailsbyTN where you can check out all of her awesome nail art. From simple to ratchet(her words lol) she will glam your nails up! Overall I was very pleased and will be coming back again and again! Make an appointment because even on weekdays they can be pretty busy. Expect to wait 10 – 15 mins when you arrive… either way you won’t be disappointed!

This is the only place I get my nails done. I have been going here for 15+ years and they have always had the best service and nail techs! Tein is the best at what she does and her designs(all by hand) are the best in the northwest!

Upgrade to 5 stars! Oh yeah! After vetting how great this little shop was, I made an appointment for my pre-wedding getting pretty-fied-ness and could not have been happier with the results I received. Tien worked her magic on my nails — listening to the ideas I had and adapting as needed for colors, nail art techniques, and extra glitter I wanted. The resulting talons received compliments all weekend, and a good week later the polish and shine on the suckers still look great. The husband even tagged along and got himself a «manly-pedi» for a little pre wedding pampering as well. They treated him kindly, did a great job, and found it cute that we spent the morning together in their salon. This nail salon it tops in my opinion, and i’ll keep coming back for all my polishing needs.
