Excellent service , location and value. They try to really make you happy with the quality of their craft.

Have been going here for 3rd or 4th time & only once did I get what I call a really good pedi. ONe where the 'giver' understands English & can perform what minimal pedi I require. It's very frustrating when I have to come home & clip my nails because she didn't/couldn't understand English. -Cut them short, file without burning my skin with the file, not use a dremel, not cut or nick my skin, no color, no scrubbing (I already did that beforehand.) I do not want some prolonged massage - I want a 'real' pedi, not this fluff stuff. What to do? read more

I don't usually get my nails done. I was super nervous due to my nail condition. Mai made me feel welcomed with her kind smile. I told her about my nail history, she was understanding and did an amazing job. Gentle, not too rough, and clean. It was pretty busy that day and she didn't rush at all. She took her time and made sure I was pleased with the shape and color of my nails. Of course I had to wait a little because I was a walk in but I didn't mind after seeing my nails. I am very pleased with it! Actually maybe more than pleased, just can't think of a word lol. Mai keeps ya girl poppin' read more

Sola Nails - Acrylic shellac. Color: Gelish 71 - Nail Salons Near Me - Burien, Washington

They always do a great job, and have given a whole new Shellac when one chipped. I recommend Sola Nails highly!

Not even a poet can eloquently portray the kind of love I have for Sola Nails. I've been an on and off customer for the past several years. With that being said, I've also ventured out and explored the other various salons in my area.... but Sola Nails will forever be the reigning champion. I drive all the way from Kent to go to their location in Burien. Staff here is exceptional at their job and go out of their way to make sure you are content with everything. They call you by name and make you feel very recognized as a customer. I love both Nancy and Nicole! The salon is very clean which is an A+. Every time I go, I never feel rushed. The point of pampering myself is to relax - which they offer!!! Also, I've noticed that their customer base has grown rather expeditiously throughout the years because of all the great feedback they're receiving so walk-ins can be up to a 45 minutes wait! Beware: It can get very busy on the weekends! Therefore, I definitely recommend booking an appointment! Oftentimes, you may even have to wait 10 minutes with an appointment but who can blame them? I came in here recently for the first time in 2 years and Nicole instantly recognized me! On top of that, she was proficient in correcting the previous gel set I had from another salon. That's superb service! Every 2-3 weeks I'm just always eager to come back =) read more

I loved the atmosphere here! I quickly got a Pedi for me and my sister and they did a great job. Great Prices as well! Very nice and even told us what they were talking about:) One of the techs was waiting on some flowers for her birthday! Great foot/calf rub. read more

I've been coming here off and on the last three years. I usually don't have to wait long to get serviced and the girls are all sweet and consistently great at what they do. I have never had waxing done here but my mom recommends it. Nancy does an excellent job and the pedicures are very relaxing. They even give me a discount because of where I work, I'll definitely be a life long customer. read more

So glad I found this place! Not only is it cheaper than the place I usually go to but the chairs are amazing and the staff really takes their time and you don't feel rushed. My daughter got a pedicure and the lady was so sweet and even added some pretty flowers after to her big toe nail :) We will definitely be going there from now on!! And as far as people saying there nail polish chips off I don't care where you go unless you get the gel polish it's going to chip. I don't know about anyone else but I go and get a pedicure to relax. read more

After trying a few different salons in the area, a friend said I needed to go see Nancy at Sola nails. So, we made an appointment. I love this place and it has now beeen our nail salon for three months and will continue to be. Nancy remembers our names and faces and what we like. (How she does it, I don't know!) My daughters acrylic nails are always great and she has never lost a nail. My manicure with gel shellac is alyways spotless. Waxing is great too. Only one downside is when we make an appointment, we still frequently have to wait 10-15 minutes, which is frustrating. But, that can be fixed with a little time management and booking things differently. Anyway, we love these ladies. read more

got my nails cleaned & trimmed & they charged $25 ? I get charged a different amount every time I go. first is was $15 then $20 and now $25? this place is alright but they switch up pricing. read more

I've been here a few times for acrylic nails. They do a great job! Normally, I have at least one or two issues with my nails within a two week period. Every time I've gone here, my nails have lasted at least two weeks, sometimes 3. I've recently tried a couple of other places in the area and I've always been disapointed. I don't like that Sola NEVER answers their phone (which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5), but walk-ins never wait more than 10-15 minutes, so it's not really a problem unless you're trying to find out if they're open. read more

Love this place, I live about 30-40 min drive away but still willing to drive there and have Nancy do my nails. She does a great job and always take her time. I will always tip her for her hard work. She always make sure I leave the shop satisfied. Will definitely return as a regular customer and will recommend this place to anyone. :) read more

I have been coming here for years off and on, stopped for a while because the wait time is insane. Why make an appointment if you have to wait. It should not take 2 1/2 hours for a Mani and Pedi. very rushed, and when you make a comment you can tell that the do not like it and are talking about you. I have tried more than once to keep being a customer, but I need to find a new spot.. Pedi is so rushed......They need to stop over booking appointments and care more about others time. very dissappointed read more

Fast and professional. They were very busy on Sunday, a great indicator of popularity. I'm going again.

Only place that I really trust to do my eyebrows right. They are always busy right when they first open even people are waiting for them to open that's how you know you found a good salon! read more

I'm here from out of town so I'm glad to have had help from yelp to find this place! Sola nails was great! We walked in and didn't have to wait too long. Place was clean with no strong smells. The ladies were nice and efficient and they had a steady flow of clients so that a good sign it's a great place for nails! read more

I've been going to sola nails for about 8 to 9 years. Nancy is by far the best at nails. Polish always last, and my nails look fabulous for 2 weeks! Definitely recommend this shop. read more

Sola Nails - Nails by nancy - Nail Salons Near Me - Burien, Washington

I've been going here for years. I moved to Federal way, friend like 3 different nail shops....I've needed up back at home. These ladies are awesome. They are honest, if they have time they will fit you in. If not they won't make you wait a hour they give you real estimated times and if they can't they will tell you that. Not like most nail shops that say yes and then your waiting for hours. I love this place. They do the job and it's always done well. I've came back in for a broken nail that I broke, not due to them in any way and it was free for my fix. I've had bad service before in nail salons but not Sola. These ladies are world class. read more

Sola Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Burien, Washington

I love how they did my nails it was perfect. Only thing that bothered me is my nails werent dry enough & they booted me off the chair because an appt with a group of people was made so they told me if I can move off the chair. Other than that im just happy my nails were still pretty! read more

For sure the best salon to date!! Got me in at 4:15pm when they were busy-closing at 6pm on Saturday and even took people walking in while they were closing it down!!! Amazing very meticulous and a lot of attention to detail! Will be only coming back here from now on!!! read more

My husband is sweet enough to buy me a gift card every 2 weeks because he knows i won't get my nails done on my own. That's the only reason I've been back here the 3-4 times i have. The wait is always horrendous. Today was the last straw for me. I made an appointment and they helped literally everyone in the salon before me and i wasn't seen for over 30 minutes past my appointment time. A woman ran in here, one of the ladies who works here asked if she had an appointment she said no but I'm in a big rush. They sat her down and helped her before me-30 minutes after my set appointment. The water is cold as i sit here writing this review. The nail technician was trimming my toe nails and one of her tools wasn't working, so she grabbed the tool from the previous person (it was covered in the last persons dead skin) wiped it on a towel and proceeded to use it on me they are distracted as they do your nails and rush through the service. What's supposed to be a nice relaxing treat has turned into a nightmare. You won't see me at this salon again. Good luck to anyone who decides to come here. Just attached photos of my nails....it looks like a child did them. read more

Loved my nails! Thank you! Someone was at the front desk greeting and saying goodbye to everyone leaving as well as everyone else Also decent prices! They gave me a little card for stamping! Will come back agian! read more

Saw the reviews and was looking forward to a good experience. Im desperate for a good mani and pedi in the area... And to no avail. Disappointed again. It was such a rush job. I have hang nails, cuticles that weren't removed fully, and I can tell there's an ingrown nail coming because of the way they cut my nail. In addition, they smudged up the polish as they were rushing not once, not twice, but three times. They are really in a hurry. My friend who was with me had the same experience. We wasted our money. I gave them at least two stars Bec. They did keep apologizing and we're trying to fix it every time. Slow down! Have to drive back up to Seattle to my regular salon. Sigh. Burien so far doesn't have any salons that are good. read more

Seriously though, this place is incredible. I live in West Seattle, but I make the drive every two weeks to see Nancy. She's a rockstar and the best nail tech I've ever been to. One by one, my friends have been making the switch and the drive to come to Sola after seeing how beautiful my nails are as well as how well they hold up. The pedicures are no joke either; a little painful when getting the ingrown nails out, but then ahh... sweet relief! Thank you Sola nails for making my nail dreams come true! read more

Came here for the first time based on recommendation from my sister and will be the last. I came in around 5:30pm for a mani and pedi and everything was going smoothly. I first started off with the pedi.. so far so good but when i was doing the mani, the lady seemed unhappy and was getting frustrated. Toward the end, they want me to pay ahead of time before finishing. I was paying for my sister and I and even mention that I'm paying for both. Instead, they only charged for one and later came back and asked for the second payment. When doing the second payment, they also messed that payment up too. Overall, I won't be back here as I felt rushed, unhappy, and did not have a good experience. read more

I just love sola nails! I live in Tacoma and I drive all the way to Burien to get my nails done! Nancy is the best nail tech around! I don't even have to tell her anything and I am very picky and she knows exactly what to do and is very meticulous! I have terrible cuticles and she gets them right without hurting me which is very important! Every time I try going to another salon I always end up right back there! Also all the ladies are very friendly and make it a pleasant experience every time I'm there! read more

I went to Sola ten years ago and LOVED it, but I just had a pedicure there yesterday that was sub par. I wanted to treat myself to a pedi for my birthday and in celebration of a successful camp trip with a toddler. The struggle is real. My heels were still ratty Velcro after a cold (?) foot-bath and a good toe painting. Sadly I live in Maple Valley now and have very little time, so I can't just pop over to get my heels fixed. Please revisit a proper pedicure with your staff!!! read more

I came to this place today for the first time and I was impressed, the lady I had was fast and did everything I asked her too . The only thing was that she charged me $5 extra for the length and they are literally the shortest nails I've ever gotten . For the quality I guess it's worth it , but it's just a tad bit too pricey for the actual length I got . She did leave them very clean and nice , and I will be coming back for a fill ! read more

I've been going here for quite a while and they've always done a great job. However, I came in with my mom today and they did a horrid job with her and were a bit rude. The service was extremely rushed. My mom had a broken nail and they didn't even bother to fix it. She asked for her nails to be round and they ended up looking super uneven and the color they painted on looks blotchy. The women doing her nails completely skipped soaking her hands, removing cuticles, etc. And when we mentioned it she said it was an extra $5 dollars even though we were already paying for a manicure. To make matters worse after she finished doing her nails the women literally doused her hands with oil and said she was done. Her hands we slobbered in oil, it was horrible. To sum it up, the quality of service was mediocre and that the particular employee was extremely rude. I really loved this place but after this incident I won't be coming back. read more

Great work! My mani lasted almost 2 full weeks and my pedi is still going strong! I wish the massages were a bit longer though. They seem short compared to most other establishments I've been to. And there is no cost savings on the short times... Just seems odd, but I will still go back because of the eye for detail on the polish. read more

I went Friday and got my nails done for an event on Sunday, by Sunday my manicure was chipped, Monday it was half off. I don't know if it was just because I got hot pink or what. I also got a pedicure that wasn't exactly gentle and made my feet hurt. The bottom of my big toe is also sliced not sure how they did that. The price wasn't bad and the girl that painted my nails was nice. If the polish lasted I'd go back for a manicure but I won't be getting another pedicure here. read more

I love this salon. This is my go-to. They always do a good job and make sure I leave with perfect nails. Even if I mess them up right before I leave lol (cause sometimes I think I wait long enough for them to dry but I don't smh) they'll fix them for me. My only complaint is when I call in and set up an appt I can still be waiting for an additional 30-40 mins to get seated. also, my last trip I called ahead of time for two manicures and pedicures. My best friend and I were sitting in the pedicure chairs for almost 1.5 hours waiting for our manicures while girls who had just come in were being seated right away. Just to find out that they had no plans of doing our manicures..... Lol. So we left, but I feel like we should have been given a stamp for that at least. read more

First time I came to this place to get my upper legs waxed. It was great, nice service, the lady who did the waxing was very nice, quick and they did a pretty good job. They waxed even more than I was expecting. I'll come back for sure. I'd recomend this place. Thank you!! read more

It was ok, my nails looked nice at the end and she did a good job of taking off my shellac manicure. However, the overall experience wasn't that great. The arm massage lasted about 30 seconds and they seem to be in a big rush. Probably won't be back unless I'm in a pinch and need a place close to my office. read more

Thank you for the reply Ho D. Unfortunately it's very hard to believe there was a "misunderstanding " and "lack of communication " with Nancy because she clearly knows how much acrylics cost and how much gel costs. Before Nancy started my nails the first thing she told me was because I am getting gel nails with a design and sparkles it will cost $45 and if I was OK with it. I said yes. Then she starts gluing nail tips on my fingers....what is the misunderstanding here? She charges me for gel and tells me how much gel costs and then does acrylics? I was ripped off and lied to. And I even gave a tip when I left. I didn't even get a thank you when I left the store. I gave your business $110 plus that $5 tip even though I got ripped off and didn't get what I wanted. read more

They do a great job putting on shellac at this place. They make you cure your nails multiple times so it is nice and set. It always lasted the 10-14 days. The reason I stopped going though is that when it's time to take off the shellac for a new color, they are in such a hurry to get it off that they don't soak your nails long enough and hurt me when scraping the leftovers off, then used the drill to remove the rest. After a few times, the drilling made my nails thin and made them uneven and look bad. Won't be coming back here for shellac. read more

This place is horrible and the employees are rude! Despite having an appointment, they were more than 30 minutes late and really did not seem sorry. It was my first visit to this salon and the manicurist pointed out that one of my nails was crooked. She was right and I asked her if she could fix it, she said no. (?!) I had scheduled with a friend and they seated us separately. My friend's pedicure was done before mine even started (but at least they seated us together for that treatment). Most importantly, my nails started cracking and chipping immediately. If you want a quality salon with friendly people, go to Orchid Nails on 128th. They give you a complimentary hand massage and warm towel with every fill. As for Sola, I will NEVER go back. read more

The nails from this place were decent but the service was horrible. The whole time the lady repeatedly told me that my hand was too stiff and that she couldn't work and furiously told me to look at the tv so I can be more relaxed. This ended up being stressful and I was tense the whole time and got pressured into giving a tip when she absolutely doesn't deserve it. I spend $40 and I regret it to this day. read more

Terrible service, very rude. I came in without an appointment as the sign says "walk ins welcome". They were busy so I suggested an appointment. The woman that spoke with me said it's better for me to wait 15 or 20 mins instead of an appointment later because they would be very busy. I said I did not want a rushed pedicure and she assured me it would not be rushed... so I wait.. 15 mins became half an hour. When they finally rushed me to a seat they made me soak in cold water for 20 mins before they got to my actual pedicure. The gal who started my pedicure was very rough and rushing through the pedicure proceeded to use a file and pumice stone that was obviously used many times before me. Ewe.. then brought out the dirty dremel and used it on my toenails, then quickly used a foot file (probably dirty too) and cut my foot quite deeply and had no apology or willingness to slow the hell down. It bled and hurt very badly. I never saw any cleaning done on the tubs or much care in maintaining hygiene with my bleeding cut. I hope I do not get an infection from this place as I do not believe they are following regulation. In addition, I'm angry because I leave for a trip tomorrow and the pain and cut on my foot is so severe I cannot even wear shoes comfortably. I am disappointed because I thought this place was one of the better ones in our neighborhoods. read more

I made an appointment for 2 on a Saturday and they did not start my nails until 2:45. While I was sitting waiting 4 ladies walked in and were told it would be a 10 minutes wait while I had already been waiting for 40 minutes WITH an appointment. When I was finally sat the nail technician broke my nail while trying to take off my dipping powder and had to then cut all my nails very short after I have been growing them for a month. She also did not do enough coats on my nail so they did not come out the expected color at all. At the end I told the manager about how I had a horrible experience and will not be coming back. I've come here before and even with an appointment I still waiting 20 minutes. They do not value your time at all and do a sub par job, I will not be returning. read more
