My sister scheduled a French manicure for herself and our mother prior to her wedding. The…read moreappointment was for 10:30, according to her calendar, but the morning of the appointment, she received a text in the morning, saying that she was expected at 11:15, while our mother didn't receive a call or text. My sister assumed she'd gotten the timing written into her calendar wrong, but she did call at 10am, just to make sure she wasn't expected at 10:30. At 10:55, she received a call from Mane Styles, saying that she had missed her 10:30 appointment, and that rather than having parallel manicures, they had booked the two appointments back-to-back. They said they only had the 11:30 slot open now, and no other manicure spots were available the whole day. My sister was nearly in tears on the phone, as she had counted on this relaxing time with mom and had wanted to gift my mom with some hand care for all the hard work she'd done prior to the wedding. My mom's hands are arthritic and painful, and this was something my sister really had planned on giving her. The person on the phone then started asking additional questions about the type of manicure my sister wanted, although she had already answered those questions when making the appointment--a regular French-tip manicure. The person started quoting different prices for gel, regular polish, and pushing my sister for decisions on the phone. This is not the kind of "service" a bride needs 2 days before the wedding. They went in to the appointment anyway, and my mom got to sit and watch as my sister got her manicure. I told them to cancel altogether and see if there was a walk-in appointment somewhere else, but they went anyway. My sister's nails looked fine, not great, and the nail tech wasn't apologetic at all and offered no compensation for the mistake.

After moving to WA from CA, I had no idea where to start looking for a solid nail tech. Where I…read morecame from, the competition was tight with a nail shop literally on every corner, which meant prices were excellent, customer service was big, and they had to have at least one Superstar at every shop. With there being very limited supply of shops in WA (comparatively), it was a bit of a shock to see such outrageous pricing, horrible customer service, and minimal talent. After a few months I found modern nails and I was very happy with their service but it was a 30-minute drive for me, so I did what I thought was best and tried out a few other salons closer to me, in hopes of finding my Trifecta (talent, price, and customer service). Alas, it went horribly wrong throughout Ferndale and Bellingham, so I went crawling back to see Hannah at Modern Nails. I am kicking myself in the butt for not sticking to a tried and true technician. Hannah Is not only super sweet, but ultra talented. And I have paid much more for much less out here in the area. Moving forward it is a no-brainer, I will keep coming back! I highly recommend this shop, and Hannah specifically for acrylics, I cannot say enough about her meticulousness and eye for detail. Also, they offer these amazing complimentary beverages that are to die for, so don't be shy about asking. It's non-alcoholic, but that doesn't mean they're not fire or craft! Some of these other places I've been to offer a "mimosa" and it's literally Sunny D with flat champagne (yuck), At Modern Nails they are serving up virgin cocktails in styyyyle and fancy coffee beverages. With their talent and customer service, it's just a wonderful experience.

I had my first facial with Clare 2 years ago and never looked back! Since that very first time, I…read morehave been going every month and look forward to it very much. Clare is amazing and takes pride in providing the best care of her clients. One of my favorite things about her is that her approach is individualized. Every time you go there, she analyzes your skin thoroughly and makes recommendations on what type(s) of treatments would be best for you at that time. Of course, if you already have something in mind, she will honor that. But if you want to maximize the benefit of seeing Clare, I highly recommend letting her customize your treatments. Each treatment session is so relaxing, therapeutic and leaves your skin feeling amazing. My skin has never looked better! She also is an authorized retailer for Jan Marini and some other select products. Another great thing about Clare is she is NEVER pushy about buying products. Every once in a great while, she will recommend something, but will never push you to buy it. Clare is a master of her trade and I recommend her to everyone who asks why my skin looks so healthy!
