I've been coming here for a few years, and I really appreciate the quality of care I receive every visit. The massages are wonderful, and my gel nails always last a long time without chipping. Dari is the best! She's incredibly kind, pays close attention to every detail, and always makes sure my nails look perfect. She also gives an amazing leg massage during the appointment. I also appreciate their cleanliness and hygiene practices. They use disposable nail files and single-use buffers for every client, and their nail clippers, nippers, and cuticle pushers are sterilized after each use. It's reassuring to know they take sanitation seriously. Highly recommend! read more

Very nice place, nice and quiet with soft music playing. No one speaking loudly or talking on their phone. I got the Versailles manicure thinking it would be quite luxurious. After trimming and filing of nails, it consisted of a scrub, cleaning of my cuticles, coconut oil and put in warming gloves. I chose to get my nails buffed rather than polished. A total of 35 minutes - cost, with tip, was $85. Ridiculously steep for what it was. Too many other nail salons could do just as well. read more

This nail salon is easily my favorite place to relax and unwind. I've visited the bothell spa location many times now for the Versailles Pedicure. It's a divine and a completely rejuvenating experience. I know some reviewers have complained about the, "no talking/phones on silent," rule, but I am honestly all for this rule. It adds to the deeply relaxing environment. I'm happy to receive services from any of the technicians, but I love booking time with Sophia. She's such a wonderful person and does an outstanding job! read more

Love this little oasis, a true spa like experience. If you're more into the spa part of a pedicure this is worth your money, the chairs tilt back, the paragon and leg massage, all just really lovely. read more

I've been to this salon several times and booked different services. The establishment is nice and I love the no talking rule; I am however disappointed that I booked an hour service pedicure and was barely in my seat 50 min before being ushered to pay and leave. When I asked the lady about the hour service, she smiled and said she painted my toes ...ok, that's part of the service but for an extra $30, I expected to get the full hour. All and all, they do a good job but beware of paying extra and not getting the full time. My service was scheduled for 10 and I was out of there before 11, lesson learned. One other side note, there were 3 of us that started at the same time and the other ladies weren't even to the painted toes part before I had paid and left. read more

Outstanding services offered. Very professional, immaculate, relaxing atmosphere, and best in class care. I also love all the organic products. read more

Truly an oasis and I love the No chatting policy. Pedicure includes epsom salt, ginger powder, and eucalyptus EO. Scrub is all natural and is ground using a present and mortar right before application. Everything was clean and sanitary. Sophia was kind, courteous, and gentle. She took great care. The gel polish on my toes looked perfect. I didn't do polish on my fingers but you can tell that everything was groomed with care. read more

Update: After I wrote my review, the salon owner messaged me to set up a new appointment to apologize. I told her that unfortunately my mom had already left for LA and her nails had started chipping the day after the service, just as mine had. Since it takes me thirty minutes or more to get there and my mom couldn't get hers fixed too at that late date, I asked for a refund. The salon owner saw my message but never replied. I messaged asking for a response multiple times and only got a response today saying they don't do refunds. Moral of the story: do not go here. 100% not worth it. read more

I am very disappointed today- having my usual pedicure at this place. I usually have Katie but she is no longer there. Today, I have Sophia. She was rushing and forgot the scrub. Though she brought the whole tray. The massage was so quick- and it was meh. No smile all the way through the service - just that she maybe in the bad mood all day. It is a miss today, after 4 years coming here- i am not sure i am coming back. They are priced at premium $65. Very dissatisfied. The whole service was done in 20 minutes! 40-50 mins was the average. I am super mad. read more

This is a place I go to a few times a year and it is a treat. Quiet and relaxing. Recommend

I got a gel manicure and pedicure and got exactly what I wanted and felt so relaxed by the time I was done. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this place! read more

4/25/22 update botanical mani/pedi apt with Katie! Really enjoy getting a gel manicure and basic botanical pedicure with Katie. We share a laugh or two and I enjoy having her as my manicurist, she has very welcoming energy. Looking forward to my next apt as always. read more

Sophia does a excellent foot treatment. I would recommend her very highly. I have been to this spa many times and always come away feeling great! read more

Truly the most relaxing spa experience I've ever had! This is the last place that truly honors appointment times and doesn't allow any walk-in appointments, which I appreciate. read more

A delightful spa experience, the staff were all incredibly friendly and the pedicure was top notch. The masque I got for my pedicure was custom made and i still dream of those pedicure chairs. I will definitely be returning. read more

It's definitely about the service and experience at this nail salon. They are quite different from regular nail salons with only 4 pedi chairs. Love that they expect to be quiet and they put an eye mask on while giving pedicures. I could relax instead of using my phone or looking at the TV. They use recliners and not usual pedi massage chairs. They use all natural ingredients to massage and scrub the feet and they will explain you the process which was pretty cool! They offer water or organic green and I'd suggest go for the tea to enhance the relaxing experience. After my pedicure today I'm booking an appointment for my husband and I will be back to get my manicure done. read more

Secret Garden Nails & Beautique - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Bothell, Washington

I've been going here for at least 3 years now in and off, and I loveeee it. I get a gel manicure and they do such a good job every time and it always stays so long. The only place that I can call to make an appointment and I don't have to specify which person I want to see, because everyone is great! And the pedicures are an added bonus- I don't even like pedicures and this is the only place I will do one they're so amazing! read more

Yesterday they lost one more client. They asked me tips after they cut my finger !!!!! Really?! Maybe you , guys, would give me discount for this. They don't deep cut and clean cuticle but I could live with this. All the time they charge more than you expected. All of those something extra! Be careful.. Yesterday I did pedicure and look please on the picture how she did it ))) And after this you want tips ?!!!!! No more words... just look at the picture. Never again for me. read more

Got the botanical mani/pedi with Sophia and it was delightful! Super clean facility. Not loud. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be going there again. read more

Wow! This cute little gem of a place is not your regular nail salon, it feels more like a spa! First of all, let met me start by saying that I had not gone to get my nails done in almost a year (since the pandemic started), and I was a little worried about being indoors in close contact with someone and not knowing how diligent they are really being but I was put at ease when I arrived and saw that they have clear signs with instructions to wait until they take your temperature, and even a little chain to prevent people from entering without the employees knowing. Once inside I was asked to wash my hands and my service started (pedi followed by manicure), and that's when it became really obvious that this place is very different from a regular nail salon. They put a warm blanket over your legs that smells like lavender, and they have these amazing chairs that tilt you back to zero gravity and you are able to relax while they exfoliate, wrap, and massage your feet and legs with hot stones; it felt so luxurious! For the manicure I got French tips and they did an amazing job. I loved the ambiance, the music, the huge tv screen with nature images, really everything! Prices are higher than regular nail salons but again, this is not regular nail salon. If you can splurge a little, I highly recommended it. read more

Perfect place for a Mom day, surprised by some of the reviews but not. It clearly says on their website when you book that it's a no talking policy. I specifically only really come here for the pedicures so I can't speak on manicure experiences. The no talking policy is honestly why I come here, I can escape home from the family for some well deserved peace and quiet. This place is relaxing and provide calming entertainment on multiple tvs. The pedicure chairs are comfortable and they offered me a warm blanket. The place is very small but it makes it feel homey. The massage was great and used clean fresh ingredients for my scrub/wash. I really enjoy this place and recommend it for anyone needed some quiet me time! read more

Frustrated by my experience here; uncomfortable experience and rude customer service They weren't the most welcoming on the phone when I scheduled the appointment because there was a glitch with their site. When I came in for the appointment with a visiting friend, we arrived 15 minutes early. They told us we were too early and we weren't welcome yet and had to stand outside. When we were finally allowed in, they began a somewhat painful nail experience; my friend grew dizzy. When the two of us began to talk about the day, they handed us a long laminated paper to read about their protocols and at the very bottom were the words: "no talking". The woman doing our nails then rudely said: "don't talk in here". Had I known this was a no talking establishment, I wouldn't have come in. But this was only on the card and not mentioned to me. The woman made us feel very unwelcome. My nails began to bleed and my friend became dizzy so we stopped after our mani, but they charged us for the full mani and pedi; saying it was within the 24 hour cancellation. They were pretty rude and unwelcoming; we truthfully couldn't get out of there fast enough and don't want to go back. Don't take a friend here to impress them - you'll feel uncomfortable. And guard your cuticals - you'll leave with sore and bleeding fingers and not the greatest painted nail job :( read more

Disappointing. The pedicurist used the hot stones more on my shin bones than the muscles in my lower legs. She seemed to not have any experience to the point I felt sorry for her. Nail polish all over my toenail cuticles. They also ask you to be quiet but the workers are buzzing around and chatting amongst themselves. Finally there's a creepy guy (maybe their boss) that comes in and stares at every customer. Felt like a real demoralizing place to work. It's clean but for $66 pedicure totally not worth it. read more

I absolutely love this place! This is not your regular nail salon experience, this is very personal and unique place! It starts from "by appointments only" - that way there is never too many people! It feels like private treatment to me. Amazing products and very nice ladies! I enjoy their music selection and visuals they play on the screen - very relaxing! Today I brought my daughter for manicure (she's 11). I don't trust any place with her nails, this place is VERY CLEAN! read more

My new absolute favorite place! I'm so happy I found it! I spent many years designing and conceptualizing luxury spas and wellness centers around the world, all based on organic products with holistic concepts so my standard is pretty high. The entire experience was wonderful, the team here does an amazing job and I loved the final product. They have a selection of nail products to choose from both non toxic as well as Essie and OPI. The ambience is very relaxing so not a place to come and catch up with girlfriends but to let yourself be pampered and totally unplug. read more

Best pedicure in town. Super relaxing and they pay close attention to making sure everything is clean and sterile. I am a foot therapist myself and I highly recommend Secret Garden. It is the ONLY place I will go for pedicures that I trust to be clean and safe especially during the pandemic. They are doing everything right! read more

Easy to get to, a little hard to spot but it's a secret so I'll give them that. Small on the inside and seemingly clean, it's easy to relax here. The lights are dim. If you get a pedicure or waxing service you can experience the zero gravity chair which holds your weight for you for a while. Thanks, chair. This place up charges for the experience so if you want a nice experience with all the scrubbing and brushing you're going to pay quite a bit more than your typical mani pedi. read more

Looks like a beautiful place but sadly is not plus size friendly so I didn't even get a chance to make an appointment. Which is too bad because I was going to book multiple services. read more

Liz was absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to go back!! Thank you Secret Garden!!!

Pros: They honor appt times, it's a nice and relaxing atmosphere. I like their porcelain pedicure tubs, they give you a warm blanket, offer drinks (tea, water, coffee). It's in a nice location with ample parking nearby. The ladies that work their are incredibly nice and they do a good job. The hot stone massage and chairs are really nice. Cons: The male that works there really bothers me and if you look at a lot of other reviews- many other people as well. For that reason, I won't be back. He stands over the ladies and seems to try to be intimidating and domineering. Today he asked me how my service was- right with the woman there- which is weird. Then he asked if I posted a yelp review yet. I think I did one on FB but not on Yelp. It's weird to have someone tell you to do a review. They also opened the door today for whatever reason and I was super cold! I wish their chairs massaged but not a big deal. The past few times my nail polish chipped really early. So I came home and put on an additional coat of clear polish so hopefully it'll last! I always feel a bit rushed and not welcome to stay longer than my appt time- even if no one is there after me. There are several awesome nail places nearby so I rather not second my time with that male owner hovering over. Bummer- because it has so much potential! read more

Visited again today for the first time in a while. They have revamped their appointment request system (you may book online with a credit card or call in). I booked online with Katie and do not regret it, only thing I would recommend is getting there 10 or so minutes before your appointment for: parking, to use the washroom, and picking out your polish. The estheticians are professional and great team players. I had both a hand and foot treatment today, while Katie was working on trimming my toe nails and beginning my service, another estheticians ground up the ingredients to be used for my salt scrub and the separate ingredients used for my leg masks. This beautique eliminated the service I had last time, so this go around I did the Botanical Hand Treatment and the Versailles Foot treatment--no regrets! Nice and clean salon, quiet atmosphere, and estheticians who take pride in your comfort and quality service. I will return. read more

Very nice manicure and pedicure. This is a unique place to have service. Can't talk here , so plan on being quiet and relax and listen to the soft music. Plan on wearing a mask though. The gal when I walked in gave me a cold vib , think it's because I wasn't wear a MASK! Whatever!!! I had Grace and I was happy with her service. read more

Had a manicure with Sofia on August 17. Went there because they offer Dazzle Dry polish, very disappointed 8/10 nails already chipping off, it is a long lasting polish. Guessing their polishes must be old, as she followed the process that Gene Juarez does, but for $57, includes small tip, $52 for service I am very disappointed in quality of the service. She did a very nice oil and hot stone massage on my hands but the primary reason I wanted the service was for nice polish that would last at least one week! Not going back, especially since I drove 30 miles to their salon! read more

Updated review... I still love this place although the man (I think who owns it) is not friendly and slightly intimidating, as he stands around watching all his employees. He goes around opening and closing doors. One time I was there he left the front door open for some reason to air the place out and it was freezing inside. Other women were also commenting. Last appointment I went to, as I was walking out and slowly closing the door behind me, from the inside he came and shut it abruptly as we left. It was odd. I wish he wouldn't stand around or pace it doesn't make it so relaxing. The women who work there are wonderful especially Sophia. She's extremely sweet and friendly. I'll probably still go back and try to relax even if he pacing and door opening and closing is happening. I like their business model, the owner could be more friendly himself. read more

I have to say I was a little skeptical $50 for a pedicure sounds like a lot, decided to give it a try anyway. I fell asleep during the pedicure!! You heard right I was so relaxed that I got a 10 minute snooze in. Coming from a mom with a rambunctious 3 year old getting a pedicure with hands down the best massage ever AND A NAP is a huge win win! I will never go anywhere else. read more

Pretty disappointing overall, especially for the price. Came for my first visit on Friday with my bestie, for my birthday. The service was great, the inside was beautiful and comfortable, so I had high hopes. The biggest issue is the quality of the service. My nails started chipping within 24 hours, and looking at the thickness of the polish, its super thin so I can't say I'm surprised. The second issue is I had no idea when booking over the phone that we would not be able to chat during our pedis. It's such an unusual policy, I don't know why I wouldn't be informed of this at booking. I wouldn't have picked this particular place to spend time catching up with my bestie knowing we wouldn't get to talk, lol. read more

I was absolutely blown away by how great this mail and spa is. Is it quiet, calm, and extra clean and safe. The gel manicure I got was perfect and at a fair price. I will definitely be coming back. I especially appreciate all the extra safety precautions. Thank you for the great experience! read more

My pedicure looks great but the music is too loud, the staff talked in a normal volume when in the "kitchen" and they ran the vacuum twice while I was trying to just relax. This while they have a sign up that says to "be quiet " Unprofessional in my opinion. read more

UPDATE: My nails started chipping only 4 days after getting them done. Super disappointed all the way around had to bring it down to one star :/ Was kinda hard to find when I got there so I parked down the street. Everything was going really well, nails getting trimmed and whatnot, got a hand massage that was nice. The massage on the arms however, was..... awkward. I just got very light pats on my arms and it was not relaxing and just made me feel awkward and disappointed. I let it go but then, in the description of the manicure I got, it says "hot stone massage". Nope. What I got was a hot towel....and more disappointment. I feel like this place got a lot of hype but I was actually really disappointed. My nails look fine but really. I don't think I'll come back. read more

I received a gift card for Christmas from a friend. I made an appointment online which was very easy and had my appointment today. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are very good COVID measures. The manicure was great - she was very professional. Love the organic products and hot stone massage. I will go back to try their pedicure as they have very cool chairs. read more
