It's great if there is enough staff available. I almost walked out due to waiting almost an hour. I love the updated look! New mani/pedi chairs, tables. Love the convenience of it but may look elsewhere because of time wasted. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE, I had a gift certificate for 50$ that they denied I had 9months before it expired. They accused me of writing over the dates. I just took the certificate out the envelope.. they made me pay 60$ what if didn't have the money. They should have just honored it. It had my name on it along with the person who gave the certificate but they accused me of fraud n writing over it. If I didn't have the money to pay that would have been embarrassing n police would be called. HORRIBLE BUSINESS read more

I got a man and he did a very bad job. It was very painful, my toe fingers still hurt, it feels like it's on fire. More than that, the way he polished my nails was awful. I have bubbles all over my nails. I do pedicures all the time and this is the worst nail salon I ever been to. I hope I'm not gonna get an infection from them. read more

Sonny's Nails - Disappointed - Nail Salons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I went in to get my nails done at 11am I didn't get out until 1:30pm. They proceeded to injure me and then put their nail glue on me. The design work wasn't up to standards of the photos and everything that's already posted on yelp. Definitely wouldn't recommend never going here again absolutely worst place charging me $120 when at my normal nail place who was unfortunately closed today but For a full set that other place would charge me up to $80 this is absolutely diabolical for me to pay $120 or a full set. (Yes I know I got to sign in that. They said Matt wasn't in an extra charge and it was five dollars extra for design which I actually get more designs and gems for only $100 also at my other place. But then proceeded to ask me to Zelle them or Cash app them which cause weird suspicion because they have other card readers which I saw from other people paying with, but for some reason with me, I was told that I should Venmo them or cash app them if I don't have Zelle and I told them no I can't do that so then they charged my card on the card reader but that was absolutely stupid. There is no reason for all that trouble. read more

Very disappointed- spent $120 for a mediocre pedicure and a dip that left color on my skin around some nails and blank spots around the cuticles on others!

Went here after a friend referred me to her nail girl. Her nails always looked nice and really lasted Langevin after washing he reads to much. Her acrylic never look too thick either. Upon first stepping in I notice they have plastic dividers between clients. And a TV with Netflix. When me service started I showed her what I wanted and she got started. Everything was going well. Towards the end of the service after watching the movie they had on, my neck was so sore after looking up for so long and barely talking to the nail tech. She asked if I've been with her before and I said no, a friend referred me to her and she left it at that. I noticed that the nude was definitely not a good shade for my skin tone but it was already too late to change. After leaving I inspected them again and realized they were too think and the sides were a bit sloppy on blending and when she drilled them the under layers were showing too much. After a week I noticed that my two of the nails were lifting and one have popped off while doing laundry. After that I noticed that my pinky was sore. After most of them started to lift I took off all the nails and my pinky was broken in half. I've had my nails done many many times but never had it break my nail in half at the bed like that. I will try them again another time but overall hesitant. read more

I retract giving this place any stars now. When I went in today, they placed my young daughter next to a woman choosing to not wear a mask, until I politely asked her to. Then after my daughter had her nails painted, two of the workers that were about 4-5 feet away from my daughter with this small dingy plastic barrier sitting between them, decided to take their masks off as they socialized and ate their snacks. I politely asked the gentleman doing my nails, to ask if they would please wear their masks while near my daughter, and they hysterically laughed in response while looking at me. Horribly rude and disrespectful to make a customer feel this way. During a global pandemic they should try to educate themselves on how to protect the safety of all customers and help them feel reassured that this is a clean and sanitary space. I left with no polish due to this horrible experience. read more

I really needed a mani pedi and decided to try out this spot since it appeared to be fairly new and in a nice plaza across from Starbucks. Everything was going quite well until I sat in my spa chair. The older lady doing my pedicure seemed to offer no welcome, nor small talk... Which was fine at the moment for me since I was exhausted... HOWEVER, she cut my SKIN! It has been nearly an hour since my pedicure and my toe nail is still burning from the cut! She cut me once and I flinched in pain, but this didn't stop her! She continued to cut my nail.. (Feeling nauseas just thinking back to it!) When I finally lifted my foot away from her and screamed that she cut my skin another lady walked over with an attitude and said she'd complete my pedicure in her place... Unbelievable! No remorse, no apology, and no alcohol or sanitizing treatment! I added my own nisporin to my toe... I am outraged! Please do NOT GO HERE! I strongly support small businesses, and try my best as Yelp elite to shine upon good businesses... However, I HAVE to write this review to forewarn others! Do not go! Find a different spot! Never judge a book by its cover, eh?? Here's to be experiences Yelpers! Xx read more

First time at Sonny's for a mani and pedi. Bare minimum was done by 2 male employees. No cuticle cleaning. They sanded my finger nails instead of buffing. When asked to see the gel colors, I was given one palette, and when I asked to see more, the lady was super annoyed. I do not recommend! Sloppy and lazy! read more

I felt very rushed to pick a color. As tho they were doing me a favor! The technician was very aggressive with treatment. My nail beds hurt for two days afterwards and that has never happened. The nail job was terrible, the nail size they used was not file to fit my hand size, polish applied haphazardly, and they left polish on my fingers. When I commitmented about it to the tech, she said "it will wash off." Oh I guess that is my job, not yours? When I went to pay, I felt like I was being watched as if I was a thief! They were not interested in doing a good job; only taking your money. I will never go back there! read more

I would give 0 starts. I tried this salon because I needed to get my nails done before an event so I went there and the young lady who works there is so rude. Another lady was doing my nails but at the end my nails weren't dry enough so I saw the clear code with a lot of air bubbles so I ask very nice if they can fix them. This young girl started doing them and pulling my fingers really bad and really MAD ABOUT IT just because I asked to do her job better because I'm paying for it. When I paid she took my CC in a rude way without saying anything I paid and I left. Today I need to do my nails again so I stop by to get a fill acrylic ( I went there because after 1 month my nails were still good so I really like their job but not the customer service so I thought let's give them another chance) I get there and it's the same rude and young girl there who I believe she does all the different designs. After 2 minutes they ask me what design do you want (the young girl telling another employee to ask me because she couldn't even talked to me but of course she knew me!! I show my design and she told me "would be expensive because it's so difficult so just for this design will be $60 dollars. I said wtf??? It's just a simple design but of course they want to charge me more. So I just got a fill because they were in the middle off doing my nails so I said I don't want this BS. Please don't go here that young girl is mean AF and they don't respect the prices. This is the design wanted that I know it's not $60 dollars because I went to my normal salon and they charge me $15 dollars. Worst place ever! Don't go read more

I had used this nail salon in the past but it has really gotten bad. The facility has not been upgraded in 15 years, the pedicure chairs were not working properly and the manicure stations looked like they needed to go to the dump. The gal working on me could not understand English and cut my toenails by notching them after I told her not to since I tend to get ingrown toenails. The tools they used were not incased in a bag so I have no idea if they were sanitized. I could tell the files were not sanitized since they had nail dust on them. The water bowls didn't have plastic on them so I just prayed I wasn't going to get athlete's foot. I should have left then. I stayed and got the pedicure because it was getting late and a lot of places were closing. The final straw was the paraffin wax! They brought out a crockpot of melted wax and had me dip my feet into it rather than put wax into a baggie and place it on my feet. My boyfriend also dipped his foot into this same wax. This place is not safe. Do not go here. read more

Well the reviews are true. Looked like a nice newer clean place. Two days after pedicure half my toe nail color is gone. They cut my step-daughter's toe (12 yrs old) and didn't say a word about it. Half the staff is sitting around eating, playing in their phone, painting their kids nails. Won't be going back for sure. read more

Theres a guy here that is SO RUDE. I got acrylics done here with a women and it early just me and her and she was great. Went back, got a fill in and I thought everything was going good, up until this guy was like your nails are dry, turned of the nail dryer. And I'm just looking at him like, the lady just turned this thing on. But I'm not the type of person to cause a fuss and my 5 yr old was with me. And my nail polish got messed up as soon as I got in the car! DO NOT GO HERE FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, YOU WONT GET IT. read more

This place TERRIBLY SUCKS! I thought I gave them a try since I live a few blocks away and do to my critical time. This will be my first and last time, I'd rather drive another distance elsewhere. I asked the guy to shape my nail tips wider, he explained, "he can not do, because the tips are already shape that way." Which other nail shop has never given me that problem! He burned my fingers many times when grinding, painted my nails messy and to top it off, one of my nails fell off within a week! At the end of each service all I hear a is, "Do you want to tip?"...... why they asking for tips?! Tips is something we do out of our own heart! I didn't like the service, didn't like my nails, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE, I'm sorry, I'd give zero stars if I could! read more

I was dedicated to this nail salon for awhile because they did a good job at first, but then got lazy. They don't take the time to file your nails. Mine would be thick and have bumps also I liked coffin shape but they never looked coffin shaped, they filed them more square. I finally went to a different salon and was shocked at the difference, it made me realize that I won't be returning to Sonny's. read more

First and last visit. The ladies kept switching off while doing my nails and this place is way too overpriced for the nails they do. Other places charger 30+ for gel nails (for LONG gel nails) and mine came out to $45 and they aren't nowhere near long. I have no problem with paying 40+ on nails that are well shaped, designed, etc etc. They took their time but my nails are just not worth the whole $45. read more

Wasn't all too impressed with this place. I called months before to schedule a wedding party to come in and get their nails done before a wedding. 10-12 people in fact. I called about a week out from our scheduled appointment and they said they would be ready. Day of our appointment, I felt like we were being rushed. There was a good number of us that were getting mani/pedi combos and the staff available were rushing through current customers to get to us. With as large a group as we were, I thought they would have really blocked things off to prepare. There were other customers that came in and they told them they would get to them within 15 minutes. I didn't think it was professional of them to say that, as they hadn't even started on some of the girls in my party. Ambiance: Typical nail salon. Not too much to report here. They need a little bit more ventilation for all the fumes. Staff: They definitely were quick... maybe too much so. They (I feel) were short staffed for the number of people that had come to get ready for the wedding. The leg massages were nice, but very short lived. And I wasn't too keen on how they accepted more people and said they would see them in 15 minutes when there were another 6 in our party that hadn't even started. Selection: Lots of acrylic colors, nails and styles to choose from. In terms of nail polish color.. looks like they had a lot but the little girl kept playing with them or rounding them up. Better to bring your own. Price: Typical. I paid $50 for a full set acrylics and a pedicure. I think thats a tad steep from other places I had been to. Overall: I don't think I will be coming back. I don't like being rushed with my nails and rushing leads to accidents. A younger girl in her party had her thumb burned by the drummel when one of the nail techs wasn't paying attention to how far he had shaved down. Another girls acrylics were glued too far down and it made her fingers look stumpy. Another girl told them to stop shaving the acrylic down because it was too short for her liking and they ended up short anyway. Quality of nail work was mediocre at best. read more

I've been going to Sonny's for about a year now, only because it's conveniently close to my boyfriends house. I'm not a fan of acrylic and I rarely ever do it, but I decided to give it a go at Sonny's. HORRIBLE CHOICE. the lady literally dremeled my nails so thin, my fingernail felt raw! It hurts just to press down my finger on my phone. And if this normal for you then you've never had a decent full set. read more

If there was a way to give zero stars that is what they would get. Worse manicure I have even paid for in my life. They slapped on some thick, chunky polish and then were done. A drunk 5 year old could do a better paint job then this guy. It was so thick it wouldn't dry and half of my polish got wiped off before even getting up from the chair. When I told them, they did not remove the polish that was still have way there, they just did another coat over it.. so not only is it ridiculously thick and weird looking, I'm sure it will break off in a few hours. Then once they were finished they didn't bother to clean the nail polish off my skin from when they had just slapped the polish on. My nails are very short and stubby but I'm sure I could have done a better job myself- while drunk and using my left hand. I will never return- this place sucks. read more

Here's what's crazy... My mother, my grandmother, my sister and I had ALL been loyal Sonny's customers for years, and I KNOW I've spent thousands of dollars there. At one point, I was spending like $250 a month. Sometime between last March when I previously reviewed them and like last month, something went terribly, terribly wrong. They're absolutely awful. For as long as I'd been going and as loyal a customer as I'd been, I would have thought I would have gotten better service. NO! I went in for a manicure/pedicure and sat for almost an hour, even though I kept being assured that the wait was just going to be "five minutes". I was in and out of the pedicure chair in record time, but was very confused when the lady next to me wasn't even half way done, but she started ten minutes before me. How does that work?!?! I wanted polish and a design for my hands to match the one on my toes and I was told that "that color wasn't for my fingers, but she'd put something else". By the time it was over, I had two different polish colors, three different designs, an unevenly waxed eyebrow and a record price of close to $100. I quit going to Sonny's about a month ago, I WILL NOT be back. read more

I have been here a few times, for pedicures, manicures, and waxing. After todays experience I will never go again. I have neuropathy in my right foot and my toenails grow really weird and wonky on that foot. I told the lady to please be careful with that foot, I trimmed my nails before I got there so they wouldn't have to. I don't mind them using the cuticle trimmer, but just please don't go too short, it is really painful for me. Almost immediately she cut me on my big toe by digging too far inside with the nippers. Then she cut me two more times, on two of the little toes, to the point I was bleeding. She completely ignored what I told her. It has been an hour now and my right foot is still stinging. I will never ever go back here. BE WARNED. read more

Have been going to Sonny's for years, as it is close to my house. My mom and I often meet there for some mother-daughter pampering. Everyone is always polite and willing to fix my nails when I mangle them before even leaving the shop. Have also had my brows waxed - no complaints. The only "hassle" is that there are often several people working on you, which makes distributing the tip a little tricky. Of course they prefer cash, who wouldn't? Overall, a solid nail salon. read more
