Today AGAIN I went to get my nails done but the FINISHED product was horrible. They never cleaned off the polish they got on the skin around my fingers and area. It looked so SLOPPY ! I gave a 30% To before I inspected my nails. I'm FED UP WITH HI TEK NAILS read more

Called in to make an appointment. Went into my appointment and then tell me I have to wait because people came in since I called.... so what the hell is the point?? Horrible customer service and will NEVER go back! read more

Not impressed with my full set of acrylic nails. One nail is crooked, another is gouged on the side. The polish is inconsistent. If you look down at the nail, you can see where the acrylic fake nail attaches. It's a distinctive line on four of them. One cuticle is slightly brush burned. Little bubbles and a tiny piece of fiber trapped in two nails in the layer. But the price was cheap and she was nice so, stars for that. I was offered a beverage and she seemed patient. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had at a nail salon in my life. Let's start with the atmosphere: I came in with my wife and as we came in he stared for quite a while at the tattoos on our arms. I was just about to ask if he even wanted our business when he said "I guess sit down". Then their three young children ran up and down the aisle of the salon the entire time I was there. They were screaming and yelling and one of the kids was playing a violent video game at full sound. Not once did any one there tell them to be quiet or to sit down! As for the quality of my nails: these are quite possibly the worst nails I have ever had done. I requested the almond shaped and well they were anything but. The left side of all my nails are very straight and pointed and the right side are all very round and bubbly. On top of that the nail polish job looks like a two-year-old did it. It is very thick and bubbly and he didn't even bother to clean it up around my nails. I was not offered anything to drink or even offered a how are you today. He burned most of my nails with the rotor tool and kept jerking on my arms to bring them closer and then pushing them back at me when he felt they were too close. Just stay away from this place! *** I would have taken a pic but I immediately went to another salon to fix the mess this man caused!!! read more

Beautiful work!! My new favorite nail spot. Was able to get in right away & everyone was super nice. Masks on all around & it felt like a safe, relaxing experience read more

Hi Tek Nails - Coffin shaped acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

I went in for a gel fill and a pedicure. I started with the pedicure, and it was FABULOUS!! A+ for the pedicure! Then I went to a chair to get my nails done. After the initial shaping and filing and so on, the tech started filling my nails with acrylic. Not Gel. I tried to correct him and he actually snapped at me, saying "don't worry about that part, I need to fill the bottom first " so I just went along with it, feeling pretty uncomfortable at his snapping at me. After he was done, I asked if the salon does acrylic only, or if they have gel. He said that they do have gel, and I said that's what I wanted. He said he filled it with acrylic because that's what I had before. (Back story: No, I had a gel full set done about a month ago, and a gel fill since then.) I know what I have and that's why I asked specifically for it. I'll be going back, but only for the amazing pedicure. read more

This was my first time in, I normally go to another salon but they were closed. Upon being there they asked multiple times where I previously got my nails done and told me how much of a horrible job they did. They kept pushing me to tell them even after I told them I couldn't remember the name. I got a fill with shellac and I've had them about a week and three nails have broken off, and this is never a problem for me. The nails looked pretty but upon deeper inspection they weren't the same length and one was even angled upwards. Disappointed and probably won't return now I have to go get my nails fixed and spend another $35 a week later. read more

Made an appointment ( NOT a walk-in)- they make you fill out a form with scent and what beverage you want- she put me in the pedicure chair and did not turn the water on.. then after about 10 minutes, another lady walks in, they take her back, fill the "bowl" and immediately start working on her...i never got the beverage ( why fill out the form?) and noticed on the attached table,, straw wrappers!!! Which means they had not wiped it down properly... Covid much?? Then she comes over, puts a liner on, turns scalding hot water on and walks away. I just got up and gathered my things... a guy coming in from the parking lot stops me ( he must have seen my upset face, as I was pulling my capri pants down from being rolled up. He convinces me to come back in. But I could tell he was unHappy. Proceeds to give a weak massage, cuts my big toe cuticle (youch!!!) and never smiles or engages me. NEVER again will I pay for this. I can't seem to find a clean nail salon that treats its customers right. They use words like " luxury " and " deluxe " but are ANYTHING but. Dirty, and bad customer service- never again read more

So last Saturday I went with my sister to get her hair done for her Senior Prom. Fun times right? NO. The lady that was doing my sister's updo said that it was going to take at least two hours. Thinking that was ridiculous, I decided to kill time by going next door to Hi Tek Nails. Let me tell you. I love me some vietnamese ladies! I have been coming to this nail place ever since my parents (godforbid) decided moving to Lake stevens (booooonies 20 miles north of Everett) was going to be a good idea. They do a great job every time. For 25 bucks, I got a damn good french pedicure and also sit in an amazing massage chair that worked wonders on me. AMAZING. This is a family owned little place, and you really get a sense of that by being a customer. The ladies that work here are always so sweet to me and really great at what they do. I love it! I forgot how often I used to come here in High school and am so glad to have been reminded! I'm def. going to make it a point to come back whenever I'm in town! And you should too! read more

Well...where do I start??? I walked in, and very clearly told the guy at the front desk that I either wanted to remove my nails, or get somebody who was very talented to fix what I had. He sat me down, and another nail artist encouraged me to fix what I had...BIG MISTAKE! I asked once again to get someone who was talented. After my artificial nails were removed, I saw how my nails looked, and asked if I could cut them down further as the nail artist did a sloppy job. She gave me dirty looks then proceeded to speak her language to a co-worker, which was so disrespectful, inconsiderate, and rude. I showed her exact pictures of the shape I wanted, and she didn't even come close to it, but at this point I didn't want to explain myself again as I already showed her a picture. The last straw that broke the camels back was when I asked her for the 4th time, "Can you do this design?" The 3 times prior to this she replied, "Yes". Then suddenly she pulled the trigger on me and said, "No, I can't do that for you, but you can come back later and somebody else can do it for you". OMG.... Are you f#&%ing kidding me?????? I said, "If I have to leave, I will not come back nor pay"! I then showed her a more simple picture, which she struggled with. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY PEOPLE! This place seriously lacks talented nail artists and professionalism. Lessons learned best are from the mistakes we make. NEVER BE IN A HURRY & TRUST NAIL ARTISTS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW. I'm surprised they even have a 3 1/2 star rating on Yelp. I'm only giving a one star because there isn't an option to select no stars. read more

I will never come back here. My mom and I went in for a pedi and eyebrow wax and they burnt my eyebrows, think I'm kidding? Check my picture! Spent the next two days icing and putting Vaseline on and above them, and I still have scars. This was on 2/27/15. read more

Hi Tek Nails - THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Safe to say they burnt my skin, this was on 2/27/15 and I still have scars. DO NOT GET AN EYEBROW WAX HERE! - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Last Sunday my family was here to get our nails done before my sister's wedding. When I walked in I was surprised because the place have seem to changed a lot. The last time I was here was four months ago, and it just seem like any normal nails salon I have went to. However, this time it was like " WOW!" due to the big changes they have made. I think they have new owner or something. We didn't have appointment, so my sisters, mom, and I just walk-in. At first the staff greet us nicely and told us to fill out customer services form. That was something new, because I didn't have to do that before. So we all decide to get a Classic Pedi and Mani. What interesting was we have to pick a scent. So I picked Lavender and Mint. It smell great. The staff also offer us free complimentary drinks and free REFILL. It make me feel like I'm in a high class salon. After everything went well, we go out to pay, and I was surprised because my sisters and I have 10% discount for being High School students. I was glad to be here because of the great customer services they provided with my pretty nails. I will recommend this place to my other friends since we have 10% student discount. read more

I was very disappointed. When I arrived the gentleman glared at me and my baby whom I was wearing... my pedi was alright but deff wasnt happy of process. My daughter got her first full set and he was rude to her and left a broken nail on which broke a few days later. None of the nails were the same length. Some were crazy longer than others. Will never return. read more

I was in the mood to get my nails done and saw this place as I was driving by. After waiting for 30 min, I finally had someone working on my nails. Pros: lots of Shellac choices, lots of beverage choices (free), lots of different smelling lotions/oils that they use on you. Cons: wait time - they said "a few minutes" - turned out to be 35 min Since no one likes to waste their time, I'll probably not return. They got the job done but there's nothing that makes me want to return. Shellac with Mani (wax treatment too_ = $27 (before tip) read more

I was getting married so I started looking at different nail salons and asked the girl that worked in the tanning salon next door about this one. She told me not to do it... I should have listened. After a tanning apt I went into this salon to make sure they would be able to get me, my bridesmaids and the moms in all at once on the Friday before my big day. The ladies were very nice and the man that seems to run the place kept telling me he'd give me a deal if we come there. He told me to be there at noon, I told him over and over I had a total of at the least 15 people and a time limit because of the rehearsal dinner. He assured me we'd be taken care of. Friday came, we walked in and the store was jammed with women all over. They told me they could do three pedicures to start. As we were sitting there waiting for them to take more of us since we had a noon appointment and it was 12:15, I asked a mom who had five teens with her if they had an appointment too. She said yes she did, they scheduled the six of them for noon as well... Are you kidding? Who does that? Needless to say, half my girls went somewhere else. We were there three hours for six girls.... OH AND!! I asked them to do my ring finger in a different color! in the hustle I didn't realize they did the WRONG HAND altogether! I had to go back to have them fix it and was late for my rehearsal. Take it from the tanning salon worker, don't go there. read more

The woman doing my pedicure asked me if I wanted to upgrade and I said I didn't want to this time but next time I will. After I said no, she was visibly upset. She barely massaged my feet and legs (we know that is the best part), didn't use the foam separators for my toes (she put them on the woman she did right before me), she didn't do the all that was included in the pedicure package I picked and my polish is already coming off, it's been a day. She was rude the rest of my appointment and it did not create a pleasant or relaxing experience whatsoever. I am thankful I went with friends but they even mentioned how bad she was. I'm sure not everyone there is like this particular employee but this was my first and last time going there. read more

I feel like this place should have more stars than it does. My experience is only with shellac, so keep that in mind but I went here yesterday (11/27/16) and they did a great job. I didn't have to wait at all and was in and out within an hour. The lady doing my pedi & mani was very meticulous and friendly. You get to choose between several different scents for your lotion/scrub/oil which was a nice touch. The place is a little dated and isn't the cleanest nail salon I've visited in Lake Stevens but they're open on Sundays and didn't waste my time. If my normal place is busy or closed, I will definitely be hitting up Hi Tek! read more

This is my second time coming here, I really like that this place offers a complimentary beverage and a scent for your pedicure. It is very rare to find a place that will offer these two things and this is the reason why I keep coming back. The first time I got a classic pedi and second time I got a deluxe. I'm not sure what the difference was but they seem to be the exact same. Except I paid more obviously for them to do the same treatment as the classic. It felt kinda rushed they did have more customers than they had workers so both time I've been it was always at least a 20min wait. Deluxe pedi cost $28 I don't remember what I paid for the classic if anyone was wondering about pricing. read more

I've been going here for a few years for mani/pedis and they have been consistently good and pretty reasonably priced. There's one girl that gives the absolute best massages! But the rest of them are good as well. I don't get anything fancy, just the regular polish on semi-short nails and usually switch between the classic and deluxe, so that's what my review is based on. If I only ever saw the one girl that I don't know the name of, it would be five stars, but everyone else is a solid four. I moved up to Arlington and have to come back for this nail place because the ones up where I live are terrible. read more

i made an appointment for 2;30 and had to wait 25 minutes to actually get my nails done and he did a terrible job. most of them are crooked and not even. i asked for a simple black coffin shaped nail. read more

Hi Tek Nails - example of the crookedness in my two fingers - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Went in to get my nails done yesterday. This was my third time in and first for a manicure. Got the dip polish and a manicure. Very happy! Did a great job, very clean! Also a clean environment, for those concerned about that right now. read more

This place is low budget. If you just want a fill and don't give a darn about the quality then go here. I asked the lady to be very careful with the electric file bc my nails are sensitive and turn pink with pressure, she didn't care and just continued what she was doing. I will never go back to this place again. I felt like I was getting my nails done at Walmart, or heck, maybe Walmart is up a notch? Waste of time and money! My nails look like my 7 year old niece did them! read more

We've been going here for years but fed up with them closing early... Second time in a month they've closed at least 1-1/2 hours early on Sunday. Same time we always go. They just lost two customers... read more

The ladies are rude rude rude. They literally slapped my hand and told me to relax which made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, and even harder to relax. It really sucked. Plus it was a long wait time. We didn't have an appointment so I understood. But they made me feel like they were rushing me out for a half effort manicure. I will not be going back. read more

Went here for the first time today. I was quickly sat and worked on. More people started coming in and I could tell the man doing my nails started to rush. He handed me off to another woman to finish my nails. Even tho he was rushing thru my nails do look very very nice. read more

I was disappointed to see this salon had poor reviews. I went in last week after a terrible experience at Bella Nails in Lake Stevens and they took great care of me. Granted, I waited about 20 minutes before someone was able to start on me, but I didn't have an appointment and I don't mind waiting as long as my nails are done well! The man that works there did mine, I think his name was "Richard." He listened to exactly what I wanted and asked me several questions to make sure he was doing it the way I wanted, which I really appreciated. He really took his time and was so picky and articulate with each nail, I didn't feel rushed and my nails have been lasting great so far! I'll definitely be back :) read more

I've been to several nail salons in the area, hands down this was the cleanest. I love that they unwrap the tools they use on you fresh out of the autoclave in front of you. I've been here a handful of times and each time I've left very satisfied with the experience. It's my nail salon of choice in the Lake Stevens/Everett/Marysville area! read more

I'm always super happy with Richard and Holly. Richard does a great shellac and Holly does an amazing white and pink fill. This place is awesome for consistency. If you want Gene Juarez treatment, go pay their prices. Otherwise, be happy keeping it local and supporting our community read more

I have always been satisfied with their nail service. They have some nice touches like parafin wax and beverages. Only issue is that some of the ladies can be grumpy sometimes. read more

I have only come here for pedicures, along with my daughter, and sometimes my husband. I cant comment on nails, but i have always had great pedicures. They spend a nice long time massaging your lower leg and feet. Always very happy with their polish selection, their friendliness and how they work us in even witout an appointment. My favorite place for a pedicure! Prices are more than reasonable, too! read more

First of all my friend and I went to high tech nails a few months ago to get polish changes on our toes. They were very short with us and would barley talk to us. They said our nails were to short to do the french tip on it! They were talking in their language and wouldn't acknowledge us at all... Made us feel very uncomfortable. Then we went again today to give them another chance.. First they tell me that my toe nails are to short and it isn't good for the heart...And they literally took only three minutes to paint them. Then my friend wanted a french tip and they looked at her and said to her even though they are yellow.. and her toes are defiantly far from yellow... over all I am not satisfied with there service and would not recommend them if you want an enjoyable experience. read more

I just got my eyebrows waxed. They are bad enough that I felt obligated to warn others. I have to go home now and try to fix whatever she just did to my eyebrows. Never again. read more

I haven't gone here in years but my mom and her friend took me once and we were all supposed to get pedicures. They took my mom and her friend. Then I waited over a half hour while other people were taken who came way after I did until finally my moms friend said something. I've had acrylics done here. Their service is terrible. The quality is terrible and its a waste of money. There's a great place down the street. Don't waste your money there. read more

They have a very limited color selection...you're in no luck if you want something other than hot pink with glitter. When there are so many nail salons around, you can't afford to be sub-par. Not returning. read more

Well, I'm not sure how you got a french pedicure for only $25 when they charged me $34 for one last weekend. Plus the girl cut my cuticles on the second toe and made me bleed, got white paint all over my toes and feet, and put four pink dots on my nail and called it a flower which I was charged an additional $4 for. read more

my friend and I had a good experience here. We got pedicures, reasonable wait time. Both ladies were friendly and did a good job. $23 for the basic pedi. my only complaint, and maybe this is me being picky, is they carried on a conversation almost the entire time in their language. Shop could use some updating, but didn't feel dirty. read more

Not impressed. I went in to get a fill and repair. She used so much nail glue on my nails before during and after. I've never had anyone do that before besides when apply the nail. They look decent but super uncomfortable with all the glue on my nails. read more

I wenttot Hi Tek nail to have schlak nails done. Lily did my nails and did an absolutely terrible job. She messed up on three of them and said to come back int the next two week and they would fix them. She have have done them right hte first time. I had already been there for one hour. I would not recommend anyone to go here. read more

This is probably one of the worst places I have been in the area to get shellac / manicure. Every time I have been here they leave you sit with acetone on your hands for 20-30 minutes. Shellac doesn't last as long as it should. Other salons do a much better job with nails that last. Went recently and just had my nails painted. It lasted about 3 hours before chipped. Advice would be to spend your time and money at another place. This place is a complete rip off. read more

I've been following Kevin and Diane, the owners of Hi Tek Nails, for over 16 years. They have had a few locations during the years, and for the past 10 I've gone to the Lake Stevens salon. I have always tipped well. I love my acrylic nails. My natural nails are very soft and they tear easily. I use my hands in my job, and my hobby, and acrylic nails are a god send for me. Hi Tek Nails application always held up to the demands I put on my nails. However, in the past few years, Diane and Kevin are not as involved with this location and during this time not only is the customer service non existant but the place is filthy. It needs a deep clean from top to bottom. I suffer from arthritis in my fingers and depending on the day, I can not always get them to not be stiff and rigid. On my last visit my right hand was in bad shape, and every manipulation of my fingers was painful. Lilly, who was doing my nails, slapped my hand and told me to relax. I tried but one finger was solid stiff and wouldn't cooperate. So what did Lilly do? She held my arthretic finger with her thumb and first finger, and purposely DUG HER NAILS into either side of my finger! Seriously! I could not believe it. So long Hi Tek, I've found a new salon closer to where I live, who understands my arthretic hands, acrylics don't lift, and the salon is clean. read more
