    Drying her freshly pedicure
    Mayco L.

    Parking: Located in a strip mall with ample parking spots. Brick & mortar: Beautiful and modern interior and will be followed with newly upgraded exterior. Elegance and simplistic will be my 2 words to describe this place. Also: Tap Pay! Very convenient form of paying. Service: Kevin (owner) is very personable and kind. I have never felt attached to any nail salons before because the owners/technicians usually are not friendly and I didn't feel like just merely a number and an ATM to them. Phuong worked on my 8 yo's pedicure. She was very gentle and soft while working on her. While Tina worked on my calluses feet gently and on point to what I need: simple. Helen is very knowledgeable in explaining details, without leaving details. We are very happy that we finally found our new nail salon near home. We will see you soon!

    Great nail place and really sweet people! Right across my street, I'm glad I decided to try it out. Will definitely be a returning client!

    This was my first time getting Gel X, and Jenny did such a great job! She was incredibly nice and welcoming, and I was impressed by how quickly everything was done. I got a Gel X cat eye manicure and a regular pedicure and was finished in about an hour - easily the quickest nail appointment I've ever had! My only complaint was that the nail tech who did my pedicure, at the same time as my manicure, wasn't quite as detailed as Jenny. My big toenail wasn't filed evenly, so I wasn't completely happy with how it turned out, and there wasn't much exfoliation compared with other salons I've visited. Overall, though, I had a good experience and would definitely come back. The prices are great too!

    Love this place they did a great job on my nails and they also waxed my face and everybody was so nice. Made me feel like a queen I'm coming back.

    Helen did hard gel clean look nails. I like how natural they look. Thank you Helen!

    This place is on the newer side but ever since they opened I've been coming here to get my Gel X and pedicures. The staff is amazing they are always accommodating im not much of planner so I always walk in and they let me know what the wait time will be or if I can come back, im from the area so I don't mind but call in to ask if you are running short in time. The vibe is so relaxing even though sometimes it's busy you don't even notice. They have so many colors available to choose from I like bringing in pictures of what I want and they don't disappoint!....My pedicure with callus remover is the best you must try! Prices are reasonable specially when I do the extras on my gel x .

    Yay! New nail place! Kevin is very attentive and he does a very meticulous job. Got a frenchie acrylic nail and they came out perfect! Love it. Price is good: $55 short acrylic full set, $15 French tip, $30 regular pedi. I didn't get the lady's name that did my pedi but she is awesome, long black hair with bangs! She did a great job as well!! Overall am super happy for what I paid for.Place is very clean, tools are properly disinfected.

    10000/10!! First time visiting Empire Nail Lounge, and I'm so glad I did! I got acrylics and a gel pedicure, and both turned out absolutely gorgeous -- exactly how I wanted them. The staff were super friendly, detail-oriented, and made sure everything was perfect. The salon is spotless, relaxing, and has such a great atmosphere -- you can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. The best part? They opened just a few months ago and are still offering a promo for first-time customers, which made my visit even more worth it! Definitely my new go-to nail spot -- highly recommend checking them out before the promo ends!

    We both get nail done .

    Thank you for taking care of my nails! I'm so happy with the result. I had a relaxing spa treatment and a fun orange color for my feet -- perfect for summer! For my hands, I picked a neutral shade and it turned out so pretty I absolutely love it The manicure team was so welcoming and caring. recommend!!

    What a gem! So glad we found them. I was able to book my appointment the night before (literally at like 10pm lol) for myself and my friend. It was super easy. The salon itself is gorgeous! Brand new interior design from the previous owner, with amazing chair massagers. The music is a fun remix track and the atmosphere in general is light and quiet - friendly but if you don't feel like chatting, you won't be pressured so it's very relaxing. I got a gel manicure and the green tea spa pedicure - highly recommend! They use this electric foot scrubber that is much less ticklish than manual. My feet are so smooth! And the massage and warm towel is luxurious. Will definitely be back!

    Gel mani and ready for fall! I love this color! Kevin did a fantastic job! Also, Helen made my feet feel soooo smooth! I will be back!

    Gel mani and pedi! I'm ready for fall! I love this color! Kevin did a fantastic job! Also, Helen made my feet feel soooo smooth! I will be back!

    A breathe of fresh air from a nail salon in LA! Plenty of parking, very clean and kind staff. Kevin did my nails and Tina did my pedicure. Incredible pricing for such great work. I will be back!!

    Let's be honest. Would you be happy if this was your manicure? I felt like they were polite but I already pointed out that I felt my nails looks crooked and she did do a little bit of filing after I mentioned it but I have to go home and file them to make it look even. I paid $45 plus a tip...

    Total cost for these services would have been well over $100 but thanks to the 20% discount from Kevin, my grand total was only $80.

The thought of getting waxed made me so nervous until I found this place. Safe space for women of all shapes and sizes. Worth every penny!

I felt like a whale, but the lady made me feel so welcomed. She did an amazing job and it was quick. After having kids I just never got waxed again. Then finally 1 year ago I decided it was time to ditch the razor and get back to waxing. I've been going regularly since then. Would recommend this place to every woman. 100/100

When I arrived finally Ashley was patiently waiting and very helpful and also just had something about her that made me feel instantly comfortable. In not new to waxing but always a bit shy when I try a new business, but will be back for sure as Brave Kitty is on my way home and I very much appreciated the service. Will definitely be back!

I was prepared for flinching and pain each pull like with my sugaring, but there was no need! Liz was fantastic! Experienced, positive vibe, and makes you feel completely comfortable. The wax actually felt relaxing when applied. I would give it 5 stars; however, I waited in the back building where there is one chair for about 10-15 minutes since I was early and had to listen to 2 other employees around the corner complain about everything (taxes, politics, jobs). It was mainly one girl talking, but maybe close the door for customers. It was way too early in the morning for that much complaining. Liz turned my experience around instantly with her energy though. The online scheduling experience and ladies at the counter were great. I had to re-schedule my appointment a couple days prior and they were accommodating and pleasant when I called. There are products and other things for sale to browse in the front room if you arrive early. They offered water upon arrival. Oh and they have a location in Seattle! Parking: Small private lot or ample street parking.

While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, last minute cancellations like this are highly inconvenient and disruptive. What makes this situation frustrating is the strict enforcement of the company's cancellation policy, which charges customers a 50% fee when canceling less than 24hrs in advance. It is only fair that the same level of accountability be upheld on both sides. Customers are expected to respect the policy, and in return, the business should demonstrate the same consideration and reliability. Not be compensated with a $5 discount. When if I had canceled the appointment would have been charged $30. Experiencing this issue more than once concerns me about their consistency and professionalism. I hope improvements are made to better manage scheduling or compensation.
