Had a nice experience, in the neighbor so happy it was easy to find, nearby and plenty of parking. Very clean nail salon and friendly staff. I got a refill on my acrylic and found this beautiful eggshell color. Loved it got lots of compliments the gentleman took care of me and he was fairly quick and polite! The price was fair for what I got! No less or higher than most salons! It def feels like a small business place so I suggest giving them a chance! Will def go back! They also do pedis' read more

The salon is nothing fancy but they do a great job for pedicures, manicures, and gel/shellac. I really appreciate the attention they pay to hygiene and sterilization procedures. The ladies are super nice and the prices are good. The reason I didn't give them a higher rating is because of the guy who does the acrylic and dip nail services. He appears to be the only one in the salon that does them and is terrible. I went to him twice and my nails were incredibly thick, lumpy, and uneven widths and lengths. read more

They always do a good job at a good price and have always been friendly and clean! I've been going here for years.

I truly would not recommend this place. My nails came off after one week and I went back to get a couple of nails redone which they almost made me pay for. The next day another one of their nails came off and I went back... I got yelled at and told to pay for one nail that also hurt. There nails don't stay long and worst in seattle read more

Great place, great team! This is my go to salon, and having travelled for the last six months I missed this place and how great they manage my nails! read more

It's a classic small nail salon -- don't expect to be greeted with bubbly and a luxury experience and you will enjoy yourself. My nails and toes turned out wonderful, the staff are friendly (she helped me pick a new color when my first one really didn't look very good), and you can't beat the price. $50 for a shellac mani and pedi without tip. I plan to return! read more

Lily Nails - Shellac mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Like many have said, nothing overly fancy, but clean. Not overly corny as well, which is nice compared to some of the nail salons I've gone to. I got a gel manicure and it was 25$. I had my nails painted with normal nail polish when I came in and I noticed she asked if they were gel when I initially asked for the price. So I'm assuming that they do actually charge 10$ for taking gel off. I only point this out because for every other nail salon I've gone to get gel at, they don't actually charge me to get my gel removed if I'm also getting gels. I originally wrote this ^ review immediately after going to the salon. With all of that said. I still think it was a good salon, however I was a bit disappointed with my gel nails. I've had gels many times and these flaked off way too early. read more

Lily Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I like that it's really quiet and they keep it pretty clean in there. I usually go there just for a simple shellac mani and a pedi and they've been okay. I always come out with an air bubble or lint trapped in at least one nail but I don't mind personally because I come here only once in a while (every 6-8 months) but it's not somewhere I'd go regularly to always do my nails. read more

Wow! I happened across Lily's nails this morning for a pedicure. I am thrilled to have found this salon! My toes are perfectly pretty! The massage alone was worth the price. Their safety protocols were excellent. Lily's is now my go to nail salon. The price is very reasonable too! Try it! read more

First time here. They accept walk-ins and are nice and efficient. Shellac manicure & taking off my previous dip was $37. I saw them cleaning tools which is always nice to see because you just never know. I will come back for a pedi next. read more

Super clean and friendly technicians. My elderly mom and my sister and I always go here

This is my go-to place in the rainier valley. The team at Lily Nails are always so nice and accommodating. They have ALOT of walk-in business so living close by I always just make a quick call to see if they're busy. I rarely wait more than 10 minutes if at all. Very clean and they disinfect everything!! Great shellacs and pedicures. Reasonably priced. And their Seahawk fans! read more

I've been coming here for a couple years now. My wife wanted me to go to her nail salon in Madison Park, which is also very good, but I wanted to support the neighborhood where I grew up. They're always very accommodating and even though there's a language barrier we still can chat and and laugh with each other. Also, if there is a ball game on their more than willing to turn the channel so we can watch it while, I'm getting a pedicure. Fellas if you haven't had a pedicure, you don't know what you're missing. Check this place out and if you feel insecure, bring along a Sports Illustrated! read more

I have been a customer here for 22 years. I have never been called by my name, ever. was in yesterday for pedicure. tech started on my service; then two other people walked in and the tech wanted to put me on hold while she serviced the other customer; l was pushed off on another tech so that she could service this person; lied and said that she forgot that she had this appt. already. This is the second time that I've had this experience with this particular tech. Really not sure if it's because of my race; but it's always a White person that takes her away from me in the middle of my service; seems really odd that after 22 years, no damn body even acknowledge me by me name...actually, no greeting at all. I've thought that they just didn't speak English well, but I noticed that they don't seem to have a problem speaking to "others". I really didn't want to pull the Race Card, but now, I'm not so sure. I'm sick of being ignored, and I have given them more than the benefit of the doubt!! Tho it is very convenient location, I will not be returning. Black women...look around... read more

AWESOME Shellac manicure! As mentioned before, $45 for pedi and shellac manicure. My hands still feel sooooo smooth! They also did my little one's nails (toes and fingers) for under $10! My favorite place for sure! read more

I came in and asked for acrylic nails with white tips, something that every nail salon should know how to do.. well I was wrong. Overcharged, first. Second, there's only one person (and it's the very rude man) who can do acrylics. He didn't even know how to put the acrylic powder on... it was so lopsided and the tips of the nails were extremely thick and uneven. Then he goes "well what color do you want" and I said.. again.. the white tips like a French manicure. He goes to paint on the white tips (which I have never had them painted on before) and the tips are completely uneven. Lastly, he says to put my fingers in front of the fan, 5 minutes go by and he says "okay your done where the credit card" and I'm just confused and say "my nails are still wet i can't get my card". He demanded for the card and started getting very rude, so I went through my purse to give it to him and almost every nail smudged and he wouldn't fix it after. Walk across the street to the other nail salon, this place is not worth it. read more

Went in for shellac mani pedi. They struggled to remove my old shellac and I had to stop her from prepping my nails for the next color because there was still red all over my nails. Another woman stepped in and basically redid the grooming (still a ton of cuticle etc.), did the pedi it was fine. They advised me against the color I wanted and kept saying it was too light... I said I didn't mind how it looked with 2 coats. Same woman did my nails everything seemed fine. Paid, tipped, left. Fast forward less than 3 hours my right thumb is rippled pretty badly and my other nails, I realized were soft. Next morning, They agreed to fix them so I go in to get them fixed... they low key mocked me/ blamed my sitting poorly on it not drying even though it wasn't just my thumb. Refused to fix the toes w/ same polish. I model so it does me no good to have mis matched hands/ feet. I just took my 20$ elsewhere to change the polish. Not to mention there's a hair trapped in my nail she says she didn't see. And shellac bubbles (can't see in pics). read more

I might go back because the hours are good and the prices reasonable, so I think they might deserve another try... If it's a Sunday and I'm in dire need. However, I was not impressed with my pedicure that chipped after 3 days. Pedicures should last much much longer, so that was disappointing. IIt's worth it to me to give up the location with awesome hours and go to Seattle Beauty Studio a few blocks away on 50th. Way better quality, only a couple dollars more. read more

If I'm in Seattle and I need a pedi, this is the first place I think of. The people here are nice and the place is clean. They have a large selection of OPI and China Glaze nail polish. Come when it's not too busy so they can take their time and give you a longer feet massage. The massaging chairs are a nice touch, too. read more

I guess Lily has sold the business, and now it is very strange! Strange feeling, people were not friendly and did not listen that wanted two pedicures at the same time. All new staff, sad. Sad that our regular twice a month spot will have to be found again! I am rating three stars because of when this place was owned by Lily! She was absolutely amazing, staff was amazing, and I will miss going here! read more

Worst nail salon I've ever been to. My nails are shit, the old man doing them shouldn't even be a nail tech - he sure as hell doesn't know what he's doing. And then he has the audacity to charge me $50. He never fixed any of the problems that I pointed out to him. My nails are crooked and gross. Thanks for the shitty nails, Lily Nails. I'm going to another nail place tomorrow to get this fixed. STAY AWAY GUYS!!!! read more

My fingernails will always look like an eight year old's nails after a hard day of making mud pies. I'm pretty hard on my hands. Plus, I'm cursed with a "murderer's thumb" on one hand which always makes a nail specialist take a second look. My only consolation is that Megan Fox has two of them. I always joke that if I hitchhiked, I would only get a ride down the block. While I ignore my fingernails, I will say that I L-O-V-E getting pedicures. (In case you're wondering, my big toe doesn't conversely look like a fingernail.) Lily Nails always has availability. I don't drop in; I usually call ahead and set a time and I'll say that they've only been a few minutes behind if it gets busy. The prices are fair (about $20 for a pedicure, plus a $1 credit card fee) and they do the whole gamut for you: foot soak, trim, scrub, massaging chair et al. Last weekend, the gal warned me that my second toe nail was about to fall off and I should get some medicine for it. There's a slight communication barrier between us, but she was really worried about my toenail. Unfortunately, there's no medicine for wearing too-small sand socks during beach VB which caused a blister under the nail bed. Sure enough, a few days later at volleyball, my nail disappeared into the sand. Never to be seen again. I appreciated her trying to warn me, though. As usual, it's a week later and my pedicure is flawless. I'm amazed how long their pedicures last given the activities I do. Nine, nine perfect-looking toes. read more

The worst nail shop in SEATTLE! If I had the option to give them a zero I would. The owners are extremely rude and the service was terrible! Please, please I urge you to find another nail shop! read more

Cheap? Check Clean? Check No Drama? Check Free Design for little kids? Check My fingers and toes look polished and perfect. My feet are smoothy smooth. I feel like a million bucks but only spent $30. That's all this princess really wants. read more

I stop by this place on my way home from work, and I'm always amazed at how quickly they work. I get shellac manicures and regular pedicures here, and I'm usually in and out within an hour. Considering that neither the removal of shellac nail polish nor the reapplication of it are quick processes, it's pretty remarkable, really! And for some reason I always feel like the shellac manicures they give me last better than other ones I've had from other salons. They do $45 shellac manis with pedis, which is about $5-$10 cheaper than other places nearby. They don't spend a lot of time massaging my shoulders, arms, and calves like the other place used to, but I can deal with that. The staff is friendly enough, but they won't go out of their way to make conversation with you if you don't chat with them first. Oh, and they take AmEx, which is always a plus for me! I will keep frequenting this place because they do good work at lower than average prices and faster than average speeds. read more

I wanted to like this spot given the convenient location, but I had a super gross experience. While my nails are drying the technician picked her nose; and then did a kind of snot-rocket-like thing. I was just about to ask her to wash her hands and then she started the "massage" portion. Then she posted up in a massage chair and started cutting her toenails. Not cool. read more

Could it be? Could there actually be a nail salon on the south end that sterilizes it's tools, provides an affordable ($30) spa/pedi complete w/comfy massage chairs, and has an ample selection of quality nail polish in a clean salon with air conditioning? I think so!! Although, it pains me to have sworn off the shop walking distance to my house in Columbia City..it needed to be done. Van was the total opposite of the woman who did my mani/pedi at the shop in Col City (by BofA). Van did NOT make me bleed, she did not rudely yammer away on her cell phone the ENTIRE time she was working, and she did not spend a nanosecond on my callouses. My heels would send even the best pedicurist running, but Van didn't back down. She was gentle with the razor and ASKED FIRST and really spent some solid time working on my crocodile heels w/the pumice stone. I don't expect perfection on this front, but right now they are smoother than they've been in a long time. No paint on my cuticles..everyone in this shop was professional and nice. Now to see how long the color lasts. fingers crossed! read more

I Love Love Love pedicures!! and this place isn't too bad! you know I'm not exactly sure what really makes them unique but I like them because they are very close to my house, the price isn't bad, the staff is friendly, and last but not least and my favorite reason is because they do some really pretty nail art! This was the first place I ever had nail art done and now I can't go anywhere without a cute little flower on my toes! I'll be honest, I may never give a nail spa a full 5 stars unless it's set up is much more....comfortable and they have a great ventilation system because the one thing I can't stand about the quick and go nail salons is the smell of the fumes! yuck! again, though, this one wasn't bad so I definitely recommend this place and ask for a nail design cuz they do add a nice lil sumthin to your toes! read more

I started coming her because they are clean... I find myself starting to hesitate over and over again. But i kept on going back BECAUSE i live in the south end and it is HARD to find a nail salon where (1) that takes credit cards and (2) that actually SANITIZE after each use of the tools (yah! hard to believe right?!) If i wasn't soo lazy and willing to drive a little bit further or if i am not such a big procrastinator and actually have time to go somewhere further and better, i'd do that in a heart beat. Well lets move on to their quality of work: I don't like how they do my nails at all. i always get acrylics, both the old man and the lady can't really do a very good job. I left the salon with non smooth surfaces and they said it was supposed to be like that... ahem. i've been getting my nails done for over 7 years and i know that's NOT how its supposed to be. I am finally awake from my laziness and will try another salon. A friend told me about Top Nails in Queen Anne. WISH ME LUCK!! :) ****** And i've had non-smooth surface more than once. So it is not just a bad day**** **** Another bad thing that I DO NOT like is how they do fills, instead of filing down the bubbles, they super glue it, which allows germs and fungi to collect and grow... i asked them to do the shave down they refused which seems like they're being lazy *** *** i just got my nails done there two days ago and now its bubbling already!***** read more

3.5 stars! Due to the other reviews, I wanted to love to place so bad, but I didn't. I was back in town visiting since I've moved to another state and wanted a nail place that was fairly or regularly priced (not that $50 for a pedicure crap), but also close to where I was staying as well. It was my last night in Seattle so I decided on a whim that I was going to get a pedi with my sister. I got on Yelp to find a place and picked our colors. We were greeted upon entrance which I liked. We also got started at the same time which I appreciated. During the service everything was okay until she went to like cut the dead skin by the cuticle area or whatever it is they do, and pinched my UNDEAD skin on THREE different toes. I told her if it happened one more time I was getting out of the chair without paying. She seemed irritated, but whatever. If it happens once ehh, but 3 times in a service? Get a grip or get more training. She also gave me like a 30 second massage on each foot meanwhile my sister was next to me getting the works, getting a nice long massage about 3 minutes per foot. We were paying the same price for the same service, so why weren't we getting the same treatment? My sister was getting a mani in addition to her pedicure, so I decided I wanted one too. Someone else did my mani and did a pretty good job. My hands were softer and much cuter than when I had came in. This is probably the longest last mani I've ever had. I got it a week ago, and it's still on. Mind you it's not even shellac. That's a HUGE deal to me. All in all, I would probably come here again, I just wouldn't go to the same person. read more

Lily Nails - clear shellac with sparkles - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came here the other day for the first time, just to try a new salon. I was incredibly disappointed in my acrylic nails I got. I requested coffin shaped nails and he gave me more of a square shape. I asked him multiple times to thin them out at the tips and to straighten out the ends and he continued to tell me he would fix them later just to then send me off to get them painted, my nails are crooked and square, not coffin shaped. To make it worse, part of my nails aren't even filled in and it looks like I'm in need of a fill. read more

The first was fine and the second time around is my last time. The husband who answers the phone and helps out has no customer service. Doesn't even say thank you when you pay and they charge $1 for credit cards. Pedicure is average. Look elsewhere. For $20, I've had far better experiences. read more

Hmm mix feelings. Needed somewhere close with decent ratings. Read about this place that does shellac mani and pedi for $45. Arrived and there were three other patrons (older generation). A few staff sitting in the corner. I get greeted and I told em what I was there for. They sat me down got the foot soak going and had me pick out the shellac color as I brought my own polish for the toes. I get worked on the feet and another tech comes and began prep work on my hand.. I don't like that just bc I was hoping to relax. The woman who did my toes did ok, don't expect a thorough massage of any sort or even a decent one. The apply of polish was ok. She missed the sides a bit. I have the type of nail beds that requires to be slightly pulled back in order to get to the sides. I of course couldn't really tell since I can barely see my feet so let alone the details! The shellac mani, same ordeal, the woman fail to get some of my finger nail sides. I caught a few and mentioned it after the first coat. I get "I'm do another coat" I understand that.. But wouldn't you want to get it done right he first coat so the second coat applied would look right? Btw, she was irritated when I brought it to her attention.. Nonetheless, after I was done I took a quick glance and felt it was done "ok" and so I'm my opinion, I believe to have tipped a bit too much. I got into the car and got a closer look and confirmed my "over tipping". Would I go back? Potentially but I rather go find somewhere else and hope there are better rating nail salons around that are not in a sketchy area (not saying this place was).. Let's see how well this shellac holds up. read more
