If I could rate -10 stars I would. Where do I start.... I brought in the first photo and asked if she could do the look on my nails she said yes. I asked again are you sure. She said yes I'll make your hands look good. My nails were my own under an acrylic set. They were long enough to accomplish what I was asking in a timely manner. Black and nude ombré is what I asked for. What I got was something that looked like the snack called Buckeyes. What should have take. Maybe an hour and a half at most went on for over 2 hours while I kept asking her what are you doing!? As a person who's been getting her nails done and has done her own nails since she was 15 I have a grasp of the knowledge of the nail structure and how to work with acrylic, builder gel and other nail product mediums. This woman applied black to three quarters of my nail when she should have put it just below where my nail growth started. She did not clean her brush, nor did she use new monimer. She used old reused monimer as it had stuff floating in the bottom. She nor her other employee was wearing a mask. I paid for my nails and left more than just upset. This place needs to be inspected and or shut down! read more

This was from 12/30/16 it never postef... I used to come here years ago & really liked this salon... I went today and it was horrible! I came & got a nail take off which was painful she told me she can do it w/o soaking them ( I said I wanted them soaked as I had gel polish ) well she did it her way it hurt she cut them all then soaked for 5 min & still charged $10 for take off.. I didn't think anything of it since it was hard for her to get it off ok whatever. I wanted an ombre nail with nude & white, the coffin shape. She assured me she could do it, great! Well, she put a white tip instead of doing clear & using polish, assuring me it would look better. I trusted her, she was supposed to be the pro right!? I have never done the ombre gel nails so I had no idea! I told her at other nail salons, the tech always cuts the sides to do the coffin shape. She said no it's okay she is going to file it, then after she gets the acrylic on & clear polish she is going to file it again. Again, she is the pro so I trusted her. I kept telling her after she filed the second time, my nails are uneven & they are square. She said no they are even, & that was the best she could do for the shape. I was highly irritated that she kept arguing so I just said whatever she pretty much said she can't fix it. The uv gel polish was $5 extra which is fine with me as it lasts longer. My pedicure was horrible, the massage was about 2 minutes. She almost cut me when cutting my toe nails so I asked her to please just file them ( this was an older lady ), so she did. It took a total of 20 mins for my pedicure! I was really just over it & thought maybe I would be happy with my nails but that was a total disappointment! I chose white polish for my toes, horrible paint job! I do NOT recommend this place & wouldn't go here again! What a waste of $60!! I'll have to go spend more money tomorrow to fix this bs!! read more

This place is garbage! Stay away! I went in here today to get a full set that looks natural. The shapes are all uneven and I haven't had these on for more than 4 hours and just washed a few dishes and my top coat bubbled up and came off on my thumb and it's doing the same on my index finger. I'm sure the others will soon follow suit. The lady cut me with the filer and tried to hide it, like I wouldn't notice! Pffft! She also placed way too big of tips on very messily and I have globs of glue stuck underneath my nails that I can't get off. I wouldn't give any stars if it was possible because these nails are shit! I came in with my sister in law and nieces and they over charged my SIL for an extra full set. This place is dirty, rushed and very unprofessional ! I would not recommend this place to anyone!! read more

I came in on Sunday night for an eyebrow wax. I called to make sure they had time to see me and they confirmed, this was at about 4:00pm. I arrived a few minutes later and was greeted right away. There is alot of pedicure chairs and nail stations which is nice. Small but comfortable space. There was one nail tech with a customer and what seemed to be her teenage son. Another lady had just finished up her pedicure. The nail tech promptly got up to take me to get waxed. She was very friendly and introduced herself as Anna. They have a private wax room which I always appreciate, I refuse to sit in the main area in a computer chair which some places seriously do smdh. Anna took time looking at my eyebrows and asking what I wanted. She took her time and made sure she was accurate. She made sure I was happy with them when she finished. Then she used this amazing smelling pineapple oil afterword and massaged my eyebrows which was really great. I will be back to see Anna soon my eyebrows look GREAT!! read more

Run! Worst place in the world. My 8 year old daughter and I had some time to kill waiting for our oil change at jiffy lube and decided to get a mani and pedi. My daughter just wanted her toes painted. They charged me $105.00 for a gel mani and pedi plus my daughters toes to be painted. My gel polish is chipped like you wouldn't believe after just 2 hours. ‍ worst place in the world to go. Over priced and they suck at gel mani/pedis. My toes look even worse. No cat eye like I asked for just ugly chipped polish for $105.00. Run, run, run and don't look back! I give them a zero 0. Actually I give them a -105. read more

Run as far away from this place as possible. Horrible service. Horrible attitude by owner. She was arguing with me about what I wanted. I never did get my nails done like I asked. I went in with pink nails. She covered the growth with clear. You could still see it. I told her to use the pink for cover. I didn't want to see growth. She got very upset. I almost walked out but decided not to. She started arguing with me telling me I couldn't change the color. I asked her why I would want 1 white nail and the rest pink??? ! My nails ended up horrible. I covered them with solid pink polish to keep from seeing growth. The polish job left gel all over my fingers. A 10yr old could have done better than this place. I will drive the extra distance from now on to go to Nails 2000 in Spanaway. No complaints ever. Guess I'm spoiled by great service. read more

My wife asked me to review Red Nails for her: been a regular client of Red Nails. Great massages, excellent customer service. I recommend them to all of my friends. Walk-ins welcome, as well as appointments ahead. read more

Best place to come for a pedi. Tronie makes my feet feel amazingly good and he is the only one who I have found who can give me a pedicure correctly without any tickling. I hate it when my feet get tickled!! It's not cute or funny! Tronie is my my favorite go to guy! He does a beautiful job and he makes my toes pretty. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Horrible service she got the color all over my actual toes and then tried saying it was the color I chose that made that happen and the skin around my toes the whole service was rushed when it was just me and my mom in there and they weren't wearing a mask read more

I grew out my eyebrows and came in to have it done. The lady was rude and made a comment on how I haven't done my eyebrows in a while. No shit Sherlock if ya'll stop f**** my eyebrows I wouldn't have to grow them out (my 2nd time here I'm willing to give places 2nd chances before writing reviews). After about 15 minutes she was done and I did tell her it wasn't even and she told me to tell her where/what to pluck. Like really do I have to tell you how to do your job?? I had to get out I didn't want it more fucked up then it already is. Save yourself the embarrassment of having surprised looking eyebrows and find a decent place that does it right the first time. read more

Not the worst nail salon I've ever been to, but I won't return. Gel nails and a pedicure cost me $50, and my nails look like crap. Plus they are less than welcoming. It was an awkward hour to say the least. Thank god dr Phil was on tv to give me something to pretend to do. read more

I will never be back. They couldn't understand anything I told them. Showed them a picture of what I wanted and they did something TOTALLY different. They painfully cracked every toe/finger during the massage of the mani/pedi. Yanked a hang nail from my toe making me bleed. They couldn't understand anything I said. I asked about a service on their menu and they had no idea what I was talking about. Terrible read more

I had been coming to this place for the past seven years never had a problem up until a week ago when a newer lady working there had me move to dry my nails and she grabbed my phone for me which i thought was nice up until she dropped it and cracked the screen and lied about it to my face as i watched her do it. I will not be coming back. read more

No stars.. lumpy acrylics, uneven on the top and day 2 the shellac that she forced me to have on top of the acrylic is chipping off. All my length Is gone and I have no choice but to have them taken off a redone. read more

Terrible customer service. Filthy. Will NEVER go there again. They didn't open at 9:30 when they were supposed to and we're rude about me using my gift certificates?!?! The job done was subpar and I would never recommend this place to anyone! Beware- the tools and files used were old and very dirty along with the general condition of the store. I'm going to get my mani/pedi redone by QT Nails ASAP read more

Awful service! I waited there for TWO HOURS and they never once even tried to help me. They repeatedly let people, who arrived after me, go ahead. I kept telling them that I have been waiting for a manicure and they kept telling me that it would only be "a few more minutes". I will never go back again and I recommend that anyone who wishes to get their nails done makes a reservation before doing so. read more

I just walked in and they were able to get me in for my french manicure. I had Erin working on my nails and she was really sweet, she worked efficiently and was easy to talk to. I would recommend seeing Erin. Really great place and I love my nails! read more

The owner does my nails every week, her work is consistently good! I have tried other places in Yelm, and this is far the best.

I've been to pretty much every nail salon in Yelm. No matter how long it's been since I've been in Red Nails, the owner always remembers me. The last 2 times I've been there I've had Lily. She's great. Does an excellent job. She's very meticulous. With pedicures- she's gentle with the callous remover. I'm very happy with the service I get there and I'll definitely go back. read more

About the only thing was the price of the waxing! I got burned and she said it was because my 'skin " was "dry' it left a scar and won't go back again! read more

This place is horrible. They tried to scrape off my old acrylic nails with another fake nail. They did not soak them at all. Very painful.

My friend and I was in the area while running some errands...and stumble upon this place on our way back home. The lady did an awesome on my pedicure and my shellac nails, It stay on for 3 weeks. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area again. !! really great place and I highly recommend this to anyone who's in the area and need a nail place to go. read more

Cut toe nails beyond the quick, waited for more than 90 minutes in cold water for only the little old lady while the dude refused to touch feet, only hands. 2 more walked in for appts. That won't happen! I used to come here exclusively now I'll never return. read more

This was one of my worst experiences of getting my nails done. I have really tender nail beds so I usually expect it to be a little tender when getting them done but this time was the worst it has been. She kept cutting the sides of my finger and then she just kept going, she kept jabbing her long nails into my finger and then pushing my arm back and forth. Also she coughed directly onto my hands not even trying to turn and cover. She harassed me with other sales asking four or five times after I had politely said just the fill today. She was bad bad bad. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

I will never go back there. I've been there twice and the same woman did my nails, manicure w/gel. The first time she kept yanking my hands and telling me to relax. Well, I couldn't because she was being rough. The second time, same woman would paint my nail and then take her disgusting thumb nail and press down hard and go around my nail, removing the excess polish. It was so painful I thought I was going to bleed. it felt like she was slicing me with her nail. read more

The one lady, owner I think, is very nice. The place is pretty clean. I didn't see alot of disinfection of the tools which scares me, I won't let them use tools on me that didn't come out of some kind of cleaner or clean storage area. The last 2 times I went, I ended up with a chunk missing from my cuticle and the time after that I went for an eyebrow wax and it was so hot that it literally burned my skin, I had tiny little blisters. I've had my brows done there several times and this had never happened before so I will go back but I will ask to cool the wax a little first. read more

Do not waste your money. They are awful and rude. I should have refused to pay my nails looked like crap. So disappointed smh. What more can I say! read more

This is one of the only places open in the area on a Sunday afternoon where I can walk in for a pedicure. They're always nice and friendly, I've had maybe 5 pedicures done here and never had any issues with any of them. Today I walked in and they were disinfecting the foot spas, something good to see as a returning customer. They're autoclaves are running tools through them, and the place is always clean. I keep seeing a lot of negative reviews on this place but maybe more people need to make some positive reviews to balance things out for this business? I am not looking for an upscale spa experience, I'm just a busy Mom who loves the convenience of a last minute pedi, where I can sit in peace for 45 minutes at a decent price. read more

I got a fill and had a few nails replaced. The lady cut me multiple times. When I told them that my nails were uneven they said it will be thinner when they are done but just made them even more uneven. The nail color on the wheel did not match the nail color she was putting on my nails. Same number and label. I pointed it out and they said it's because they faded. If they fade you should update them once in a while or at least tell costumers that the color may be slightly different. In the process of checking the color on the wheel I got a little dust on the gel polish and when she tried to "fix" it she just rubbed it with a paper towel getting more dust on them. But of course it was all my fault... I was there for over an hour and a half and multiple people came in after me and we're done in about 30 minutes. And after all of this they still charged me full price. read more

Nice people and great service.It was my first time here and I am very happy with my nails. I live about an hour away from here but I think I won't mind coming back again. love my nails. read more

First of all, they are so RUDE!! They don't care about their customers, they just want to get you out of the door as quickly as possible. I did not have a good experience at this salon. It's old and shabby. They do HORRIBLE nail job!!! I don't know how they got their license. DO NOT GO there for your nails unless you want to have a bad day! read more

I have been getting my nails done for over 16yrs and this is the WORST nail shop I have ever been to. The nail tech rushed through my nails, charged me $20 for gel nail polish without telling me, cut my finger and did not sanitize her tools, and my over all experience left me feeling horrible because of their poor business choices. I am only giving them 1 star because I have to. read more

Worst manicure ever. Was seated and a lady was working on me and a customer walked in.......Lady working on me said to her I couldnt get him on the phone, Customer says, well you are going to have to do me. The lady working on me shoos me over to the next station and has a man start doing my manicure with gel polish. He was so rough I have friction burns on my fingers below the cuticle and my nails were sharp and rough. I had to file the nails and doctor my fingers when I returned home. I will never go there again. read more

Red nails is my favorite place in Yelm for a pedicure. They offer comfortable massage chairs and great service. I'm not sure how they are for manicures because I don't get those, but as a person with sensitive feet I'm very picky about how my pedicure is done. All of the folks who have done my feet have been gentle, yet thorough. My toenails always look lovely when I leave there! read more
