I brought my daughter (at the time 12 yrs old) here in early July 2024. The lady that did her pedicure cut her big toe nail so short that it resulted in painful infection, multiple medical appointments, antibiotics, and daily epsom salt soaks. (I see that someone else said the same thing happened to them. I am surprised, but not.) It's been 18 months now and her nail is not back to normal. I've questioned the credentials of this salon often since then and of course, never returned. Cost aside for the medical appointments, I worry if her nail will ever look normal again. I regret taking her here. Edited to add: The service date was 11 JUL 2024 and the transaction posted on 12 JUL 2024: LEGEND NAILS KIRKLAND WA $100. The service was for two pedicures. I'm certain this is the correct location. It's Legend Nails next to the Juanita Safeway in Kirkland. read more

I will never get a pedicure there again. Came home with 3 bloody toes because nails were cut too short. Unacceptable!

Love it The service is exceptional, the moment you walk in, they are friendly and offer you coffee, whatever you like to drink. They gained one more client. The prices are fair, what they do in this place is art read more

I made the mistake of going to Legend Nails because it was near to where my car was being worked on: big mistake. I've had 3 months of painful infection from them trimming a nail sharply down at the bed. I haven't been able to wear shoes since September--and have had 3 doctor visits and 2 courses of antibiotics, amounting to nearly $1000)--along with daily soakings, Bandaids, topical antibiotics, and lidocaine to address the problem. read more

I just had the best experience at Legend Nails! I went in for unicorn chrome nails (both manicure and pedicure), and they turned out absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail was on point--every nail looks perfect, and the chrome is just stunning. I'm absolutely in love with my new nails. The staff was super friendly and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. They really take their time to make sure everything is exactly how you want it. Highly recommend Holly and Jayden for these gorgeous nails. Especial thanks to Kitty for these beautiful photos so I can show these off to my friends on IG! read more

I really want to love this place. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun. Legend was my go-to nail salon for two or three years but I found I was frequently frustrated. Even when I scheduled appointments, my time didn't seem to be their priority. I would book two appointments for pedicures at the same time so my mom and I could go together, but inevitably one of us would be started immediately while the other waited 15-20 minutes while they finished other clients. I understand that small businesses need to get as much business as possible to stay afloat, they demonstrated time and time again that they would prioritize others over my scheduled appointments read more

I've been getting my nails done here for years. I found a gift card from before the pandemic and they would not honor it. I reported this to the BBB and the business did not even bother to respond. I will not return. Edit: I was in no way rude to the staff. That is a false claim. Also, there was no expiration date on the gift card. read more

They do a good job, and are very friendly. Been going here for years!!! I think they have talked me into visiting Vietnam.

Okay, I should have really checked before leaving! Both ends of my eyebrows are missing. She spend a lot of time on the right side and I thought she was shooting for perfection! She was trying to figure out how to fixed this messed and didn't know when to stop? Is my mistake for not properly checking before paying and leaving! This is not okay! They should have someone that specializes in eyebrows only! I wanted skinny not to have the ends of my eyebrows removed read more

Great service. Nice people. Clean place. Good prices. I used this place twice and I was very happy with the service. I will be back.

Worst salon experience I have ever have. Got A pedicure and the result and service was not up to standard at all. I asked for square cut nails and left with somewhat rounded shapes with some of them being slanted/ crooked/ not straight. I had asked to change my color after she had tested it on 1 singular nail first, ended up painting over that tested nail with the new shade and continued. very odd they didn't take away the tested 1st coat. Didn't provide me with toe dividers while my nails dried, and when I did ask they only gave me 1. Bath soak for pedicure was not warm enough, and the massages were very fast. I am most upset about the shape/ cut Of the nails. I had expected sharp square, but left with them being overcut and slanted/ crooked looking. read more

Super convenient spot, close to where I live and work. They get you in and out of there quickly but they don't seem to be rushing. They have the best prices in town!! I had my gel removed and replaced for only $25. Other places will up charge you for gel removal they didn't. The workers are super nice and the owner has been present whenever I come in and they seem to really care about cleanliness which is always good to see in a nail salon. Also I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a walk in. read more

It smells terrible in the salon. The products they used on my skin smells like lemon grass and some stench odor I can't seem to quite figure out. Almost like old stinky athletic socks. Just yuck! When you pay for the pedicure you should get a legit massage and a good scrub under your feet but none of that happened. I can do a better job at home. Not worth sitting there with the bad smells and price you pay at the end. read more

One of the best nail salon experiences that I have ever had. The ladies were super friendly and nice, and my nail tech (Kitty) was great. This picture is 5 days after I got my nails done, and They still look great. read more

I have enjoyed this salon in the past, whenever I treat myself to a mani or pedi it was my first choice. Today I had some extra time so I stopped in to see if they could do a pedi, they asked me to come back in 20 minutes. No problem, I went across the street for a coffee. Came back inside 20 minutes later and they asked me to pick out a color and they would be with me in a few minutes. 10 minutes later another customer walks in and says hi I'm here for my 2pm pedi. So the staff member walks over to me and says gesturing to the other customer - she has an appointment, please come another time. If they had an appointment that would prevent them from fitting me in why ask me to come back? Seems they were just ensuring that slot was filled if their appointment no-showed. No apology or anything just please come another time. I understand if a salon can't fit in a walk in but just say so, don't leave me hanging for a half hour with the expectation I'll be accommodated. I will never go back. read more

I've been looking for a place that's able to do a long set that is thin and straight looking from the side (as opposed to curved) and I stumbled upon this place near my house. Kathy did an amazing job and I am in love! They're perfect. I'm a nail salon snob in terms of the job they do -- and this place does a great job. Have gone to higher end salons and left less satisfied. Will be coming back. Thank you! read more

I have gone to this place multiple times because it is conveniently close to my house. My mom always goes to this place too, SO THEY KNOW US. HOWEVER, I've had multiple bad experiences here. The first time usually I call Any nail place to reserve a spot because i don't know if they will be busy or not. I called and I said I was going to come in, I went in. There is ONLY ONE lady who does fills and she wasn't there. The other people apologized and told me to come back and I said no because I had already called and it was a waste of my time going there to begin with. The second time I had called in the morning and asked to come in later that day. I got there and she immediately Says "sorry we cannot help you" and I was like I made a reservation this morning, I cannot come back. Her mood Instantly changed and she went and helped me. She then began to speak in Vietnamese to her co-workers. The next time - I went into get a pedicure, the lady scrubbed my feet for maybe like 10 seconds and then was done. While I watched the other workers do the other older ladies for way longer. I could definitely tell I was treated differently and that isn't fair. Just because I'm not older doesn't mean I should be getting treated differently. I will not come back to this place. It is unfair and disorganized! The lady takes reservations but doesn't even write it down anywhere. read more

This is a very convenient location for me. I would have visit more often if I am more confident on their sanitize work on their tools. The tools always store inside a beat up box with a half peel label "CLEAN". Today, I saw nail file dust all over the box. I can never see them pull tools out from the UV box. When asked, they always say yes the tools are clean. To the owner: I don't mind to pay more if you can assure me how clean the tools are. About the polish job, it really depends on who is working on your nails and how busy they are at the moment. If I go, I definitely go during their off peak time to avoid rush job. Price wise, it is fair priced. read more

Legend Nails - At par. I always question did they really sanitize the tools after each use because I can never see it pull out from the UV box. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

This is the worst fill I have ever had! Very uneven, lumpy, and thick. I made an appt with Cindy but she wasn't there when I got there. When she finally did show up she was super rushed and spent maybe 10 minutes doing my fill and then had another girl paint my nails. I have never seen anyone complete a fill in ten minutes my nails definitely look like it and after only 4 days my nails are separating from the acrylic. read more

My favorite place to get my nails done. Quick, clean, friendly and detailed. Manicures and pedicure both were done well. I like that I don't have to be there for very long. Especially for a manicure. read more

I've had some really great experiences here, but my last one really ruined my nails. I got an SNS powder manicure and the technician must have been new or something because she ground my nails down really low. They were so thin that in some spots they were almost gone, like sore to the touch and almost just skin. Now they're so thin they break at the slightest touch and I have to regrow them from scratch. I have had some awesome manicures here, maybe just call ahead if you want a powder manicure and make sure you get somebody comfortable with the service. read more

I had a horrible experience today with my pedicure. I have pretty bad ingrown toe nails specially my big toes. So I usually shy away to have them trim by someone else. My husband wanted to get me pampered since it was our 10th anniversary. I had been coming here a few times for manicure and have been overall satisfied with their service so I thought I could trust them with my toe nails. I specifically told the lady I do not want my nail corners trimmed because I will get terrible pain with ingrown nails. I repeated multiple times to her that I wanted to have a straight cut because it would worsen my ingrown nail. "I want a straight cut, please do not trim off my toe nail edges. I don't want round edges!" I wanted to make sure she understood. (I really wanted to make a point here) She not only trimmed off all my toe nail edges, she cut my toe nails so short it started to hurt when I walk. I didn't realize how short and rounded my nail were until after I drove home. So I went back to express my frustration hoping they would apologize for their mistake. Instead the owner gave me a lecture about her 25years of experience and how this is not a big deal. Your nail would eventually grow back, this is not a problem, this is how we trim ingrown nails and nobody had any problems with us before she said. What the #*%¥!!?? At this point I was furious! I didn't wanted to make a big deal out of this if they just apologize. So I asked for a refund. The owner wanted to give me a gift certificate so I could come back for a different service. Are you kidding me? They eventually refunded me the $30 for the pedicure and made me pay $20 for manicure, and the lady who did my nail came over and belittled me saying: it's ok, you can come back again and I will do you nail again. Sorry $30 meant so much to you. You've lost a customer that would have spent much more than that in a big skim of life. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Terrible customer service! Stay away from this place! read more

I have been going here for two years and today I just had the worst experience. I called in to ask how much a fill was and the lady told me $18 so then I go in and the lady said it's going to be $25 because my nails are long I was like okay I was told $18 and she said oh sorry price has gone up it's expensive here. She totally butchered my nails and didn't even file done the original powder! Needless to say I won't be coming back you lost a customer. read more

I was able to walk in last minute on a week night and get serviced promptly. I checked in on Yelp and saw that they had a 30% off "princess pedicure" so I opted for that service. After the pedicure I showed them the coupon and they denied it point blank saying they don't do it anymore. Uh ok... Pedicure was nicely done without any hiccups but the massage was lacking. The lady who performed the service was pleasant. read more

I've been coming here every 2-3 weeks to get my eyebrows, under arms, legs, and gel nails done. There is one lady who always does my nails and she is the BEST. I always make an appointment to make sure that they have time for me. I've been to many different types of salons in Bellevue, Seattle, and Kirkland, but I have to say that Legend Nails is the most friendliest and best nail salon yet! read more

I would give them a 5star based on how beautiful the gentleman who works there does my nails. They are thin how I like great shape always even and the shellac is never too thick. But unfortunately my nails have broken within less than a week the last two time I went, which could be attributed to how thin they are. But in reality one of the women who works there is extremely rude, I only deal with her attitude and constant "irritated" comments in her language because of how well my nails turn out. It isn't a place where I could have a relaxing experience. She has literally yelled at me telling me she would charge me more if I mess up my nails while she's working on them (I was inspecting my nails when she said this). The customer next to me was getting a full set and the same lady asked if she wanted them cut down. And then cut her set so short that the didn't even look like she had fake nails. The woman was unhappy and pointed it out but they were not fixed. The pictures were taken a week after getting them done. read more

I went in for a brow wax and came out with a burn! The whole time the last was complimenting my eyebrows which I had to clean up when i got home because they were to my satisfaction. I started to feel the burn right away and applied aloe when i got home and used semi-cold wet rags for an hour to help heal the burn. Now, it's four days later and they're pealing! They're going to scar and they're painful. I do not recommend going for any type of wax. read more

[UPDATE 5/5/14: I miss their old pedicure massage chairs! They used to be really strong and massaged the crap out of your back. They new ones...you can barely feel the massage chair at all :( That was my favorite part about coming here. Service and pedis are still great though... ] I came in for the first time today and enjoyed my experience. Here are a few highlights (and low lights). Nail polish wall was a little chaotic. No organization to them (I like when they're arranged by color - less anxiety). Not a huge selection, but decent. Shellac colors were on separate wall. I'll have to try that out some other time. The guy working here did my pedicure. He was very nice. He shaped my nails as requested. Worked on my calluses - even busted out a dremel to grind them down. I kinda felt like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber. Slightly embarrassed. Anyway, he gave a great massage. It was on the rough side, but nothing near painful and I liked it :) The massage chairs are the best. Those things crank your back - loved it. The actual paint job wasn't spectacular. The polish didn't cover my entire toenail on two of the toes, but nothing major. Clean space, not too tacky on the decor. Mellow music playing in background (some 90's jams that brought back memories). Price was reasonable. $23/pedicure. I got in right away for my pedicure, but as I was leaving a wait had started. So come in early or make an appointment. They have earlier hours than most places, which is nice (opens 9:30a, 10a on Sunday). Just a mile from my house and I'll definitely be back. read more

I went here for eyebrows and Pedicure. Service was very average but the unacceptable part was hygiene of the salon and unprofessional staff. Why unhygienic ? Wax bottles, wax kit, table, linings all were stained. I was horrified to see how untidy the inner room where they did eyebrows. White towel used as a bedspread was almost brown in color. How unprofessional ? Forget about engaging the customer and feeling their presence, all the ladies there were non stop chatting in their local language. It was seriously so frustrating as they did not even stop for a minute. At some point, I almost felt like they were talking about me. It felt very rude and unprofessional. I will never recommend this place to anyone, there are good salons nearby with better ratings Lavanya. read more
