Went for a simple pedicure. These girls do an amazing job in a matter of minutes. I love the perfect job Kim did in a very short time. They are very efficient and VERY reasonably priced. I shopped around for the best deal and Martin's is the best! read more

The salon was very clean and well stocked. The personnel were super friendly and kind. My sister and I both had a great experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

In addition to quality service, we always enjoy the banter with the owner. Been there several times; always a good experience.

I love going to martins nails. They are always very friendly and fast. They have new massage chairs that are very good quality.

She wanted to charge an EXTREEM ammount for 5 nail replacements. 50$ for 5 nail replacements, 80$ for a full set. I HAVE NEVER!!!! PAID SO MUCH IN MY FREAKING LIFE!! read more

Very sweet sisters! Pleased with my gel nails!! Price was comparable to other salons so no surprises! Thank you ladies!

Update: Now my gel shellac chipped the second day!! (See pic) I have never had that happen and I've had gel numerous times. This place was a complete rip off for me and my daughter. Stopped in here after a google search for something near Sunnyland park to pass time before 8 year old's gymnastics started. Daughter was soooo excited to get mood change (temp polish) that I had from my last manicure somewhere else, but when we left it didn't change colors. We tried dipping her hands in hot water, cold water etc. She even had a friend at gymnastics that had temp change polish and it was changing colors when they both had their hands under the hot and cold water but not my daughter's $35 mani/pedi! I called right away to tell them I paid $5 extra for nothing and the lady was just telling me "not their fault it didn't work and no refund and it's cold outside it affects the polish". I said we ran her hands under hot water, she said not their fault it doesn't work on "her". Also as others mentioned there was no extras during the mani or pedis, just straightforward, didn't ask if I wanted sugar scrub or paraffin wax etc. Just kinda barking at me this about this and that if I was talking too much or moving or asking any questions, etc, she was being condescending basically. At one point I asked how the cat eye shellac worked and she said "just have patience and watch, you wouldn't understand if I explained" LOL, I can handle that talk, but $35 for a kid mani/pedi when they didn't even turn the massage chair on for her and yelled at her to turn it off bc it was too noisy, when I told her she could turn it on while they were finishing my nails bc they forgot to when she was getting her peddy. And the expensive mood polish for my daughter didn't even freaking work and my cats eye shellac I paid $5 extra for was chipping on day 2 and 3.... Yup, Never going back! What burns is I spent $103 + a $10 tip for the both of us then we left and didn't get what we paid extra for. Wow!! read more

We just moved to town and my daughter and I needed a manicure so I made two separate appointments at two separate places to cover more ground and save time trying to find our forever salon. My appointment was NOT made for Martin's Nails. The place I went had great reviews, but left something to be desired in customer service and friendliness. My daughter's appointment was with Martin's nails and though I fully anticipated needing to make two more appointments at two more salons, I have to admit, we are already making plans to go back together and for full mani/pedis next time! These ladies are skilled, efficient, friendly and helpful! And sitting next to my daughter was a woman who had been a customer for 20 years! We paid a tiny bit more here, but it was worth it! We'll be back..... and may even stop looking! My advice? Give it a try! I can't imagine being disappointed. read more

Terrible experience. Got my toes done. No filing, no buff, nothing. Just painted. Then the lady moved me from the salon chair to the hard plastic waiting chair to dry even though there was nobody else in the salon. Then she disappeared and barked at me to put my own sandals on. No help. No customer care. Then she ripped me off and charged me double the price. Also the whole place reeked like ass. Update - it's been two days and my nails have already chipped. Typically they last 2-4 weeks. Awful. read more

After only 2 days, the gel polish just completely came off of one finger and chipped on another. I went back in to get it fixed, which was appreciated, but by the end of the day I already have three other nails that are chipped/the polish is about to fall off. They charge $38 for the gel manicure that is basically a polish change (no massage, scrub, Etc). The pedicure was basically a polish change too (no massage, no hot stones even though their sign says it's included, no pampering at all). read more

I lived in Bellingham for years, I tried doing acrylics at a bunch of different places but these ladies KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. They never make a mistake, and they do a fantastic job in a timely manner. They're also so nice. Please tell all your friends to go here for acrylics! They do the best job! I cannot speak highly enough of this salon and the two sweet women running it. read more

I love this nail salon! The ladies that own/work here are so nice. They have great attention to detail and the manicures and pedicures last a long time! read more

Excellent nail service. When I wore acrylics I was directed to Martin's by my sister. "They're the best." she told me, and she was right. The salon is clean and the ladies at Martin's are always friendly and professional. I've never had a problem getting an appointment - even the time I walked in the afternoon before my wedding. The prices are great - just a little higher than what you'd pay if you went to the local beauty school - and well worth the results. read more

This place always does an amazing job, may nails are always perfection and they always last way longer then anywhere else in Bellingham I've found yet! They also offer eyebrow waxing and shaping read more

Great experience! Never really noticed this place and I've been living nearby for years, glad I discovered this little gem. The only reason I didn't give five stars is I felt like the woman doing my nails rushed a little bit towards the end once another walk-in customer came in, but she did the same for me when I walked in, and this has been my experience at pretty much every nail salon I've been to. Not a huge deal-breaker for me. Just got a standard mani and it's been three days and not a single chip! Prices are comparable to everywhere else in town. (Menu on wall appears to be for cash prices only; manicure was marked as $15 and rang up as $18 using card...I'll be paying cash next time!) read more

Came in to get a full set (acrylic) the lady was very nice and made an effort to get the shape I wanted. Another lady came in for an appointment before she finished me and she started to rush a bit during the polish job. Overall good job for Bellingham but I think I'll stick to my nail girl in Seattle. However thumb was way shorter than rest of nails. read more

Martin's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Got a really great manicure and pedicure and had great conversation too. Highly recommend this place!

Martin's Nails has four new spa chairs for pedicures and some new decor that shifts this very friendly and affordable nail salon into a fancier class. The sisters who run it have worked hard to learn English and are delightful company. Their cuticule work is extremely good and it's easy to get last-minute appointments. read more

We Love Martins Nails. Its not glitzy, but always friendly, and able to get a same day appointment (even for 2 of us) . Pedi's at Martins quarterly!! read more

I walked by this place on my way to Trader Joe's and was delighted that they could fit me in. Great ,manicure/pedicure (there's a cash discount!) and lots of little pampering touches. I'll definitely be back. read more

I told them what I wanted and they refused to put my acrylics back on. So they removed my acrylics, shortened my natural nails and painted them and charged me $46 for garbage. I'm so upset. Worst experience I've had with any nail salon. And for some reason it took 3 hours for two of us. read more

Best place in Bellingham! Amazing service and great work! They never make you wait and they are so friendly

Ladies, you are missing out if you have not visited Anna at Martin's Nails!!!!! I am passing through Bellingham after a couple months in Canada where I absolutely could not find a first class salon, so my nails were in terrible shape when I happened upon Anna!!!!! I have used the dipping powder for 2 years and LOVE it, but no one from Michigan to across Canada to B.C. knew how to do the process correctly!!! And then I met Anna!!!! She is a wizard!!! She TOOK HER TIME, and she DID IT RIGHT!!! I feel like a lady again with my beautiful nail job!!!! I rarely write reviews, but this one is a must!!! I am sooooo happy, and you will be to if you go see Anna at Martin's Nails!!!!! read more

$$$$ for gel polish!!! Unless you want to pay almost the price of a full mani for gel, I'd look elsewhere.

I made an appointment for my boyfriend and myself. He had never had a pedicure before, and I kept talking up the foot rub. This was my first time at this salon. They didn't do anything wrong, but they were lackluster. At other places, pedicures take 45-60 minutes. I was done in 30 at this place. I had asked for a long foot rub for my guy because he wasn't doing polish and all that. He was done well before I was, and they charged me more because they did a sugar foot scrub rather than doing more massage. The paint job on my nails looks good so far, but the whole thing was so fast there wasn't much relaxation or pampering. I've tried 5 or so other places in town for pedicures over the years, pretty much all of the other places were more enjoyable. read more

Friendly atmosphere, great design to choose from. Designer tips, as well as, products to use to keep your natural nails looking prefect. Anna and Kim will make sure that your nails are done right read more

It's small and intimate and there were only two people working there (it was 11 AM on a Thursday). I had to wait a bit, but, I did not mind a bit. The two ladies, Kim and I'm sorry I never did get the other woman's name, could not have been kinder. And then Kim did a great job on my nails. I could not have asked for more. Great service along with a great atmosphere!!! I will definitely be coming here regularly for my manis and pedis!! read more

I've reviewed this salon before and had great experiences, unfortunately I think times have changed. I went in recently for a pedicure after work and was completely disappointed. I was in and out of the chair in 15 minutes. I used to come to Martin's for the pampering I received, and that's just not the case anymore. Bummer. read more

I have been several times and have always found the staff to be friendly, the room attractive and comfortable,and the end product lovely. The new spa chairs are awesome - very nice! I always look forward to my next visit! read more
