Really the best. Professional no frills. I can't recommend this place enough. They are true artists. I've never had my nails done this well so consistently. The family vibe is great too. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience. The nail technician was on the phone throughout my entire appointment, and it felt like she wasn't fully paying attention to my nails. The gel polish was applied very quickly and carelessly, with uneven edges, gaps near the cuticles, and small white spots/bubbles in some areas. At one point, the UV lamp touched my nail and messed up the polish. She tried to fix it, but the final result still didn't look right. When I pointed out the issues, the technician couldn't understand me and called a man from the front desk to help translate. Instead of addressing my concerns, he told me he couldn't see any problems, that I was being "too picky," that nobody would notice from a distance, and that nobody is perfect. I understand that nobody is perfect, but as a paying customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect careful work and to have my concerns treated with respect. What disappointed me most wasn't just the quality of the nails, but the way my concerns were dismissed. I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. read more

Absolutely love it here. They are quick, fast, and kind. My boyfriend and I love coming here when we have time. It's the first place I have had dip done well in seattle. I have tried many nail places in Seattle with dip specifically and I'm always so disappointed. I had to go to a new place recently (not sunny island) since my family was in town and they wanted to go somewhere new and I hate my dip nails. I regret not making the drive and going back here. Highly recommend Sunny Island. Tony and Na are great. I won't be going anywhere else. Sunny Island is my go to! read more

A dear friend bought a $100 gift certificate for me as a present. I hadn't gotten around to using it immediately because I don't live in the area and then moved and lost the Gift Card. I found it and it was expired by only a few weeks. I called the salon to see if they would honor and they initially did not but then did end up honoring it. The whole staff was very nice and I am very happy with my mani and pedi. read more

Highly recommend! I came in with a pretty hefty request - they absolutely smashed it. I asked for a French manicure with checkered tips for an event in Vegas. (A little wild, I know) *all the boxes were hand painted and she did this in under an hour. They were so friendly, informed me of the price before starting and executed perfectly. 10/10. Thank you so much! I love them. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Sunny Island Nail Salon! I've been making the trek from SeaTac for years now, and it has always been worth every mile. My best friend and I treat ourselves every 2-3 weeks to their incredible, intricate nail designs that simply can't be found anywhere else. As someone who has tried numerous salons, I can confidently say that Sunny Island will always hold a special place in my heart! The staff here are not only exceptionally skilled in nail art, but they are also the sweetest people you'll ever meet. I love coming in with a new design idea, and I've never left feeling anything less than thrilled with the results. Today was extra special as I brought my husband along for a matching set. He has never had a manicure before, and was a little nervous about how he'd feel, but he had a fantastic time! The care and precision that went into our nails were remarkable, and he even said he would definitely come back again. If you're looking for a nail salon that combines artistry, kindness, and an overall amazing experience and vibe, look no further than Sunny Island! I will continue to shout their praises from the mountaintops! Here are just a few sets from the past few months: read more

I had the absolute worst experience here yesterday. The guy who did my nails was extremely rude and kept getting up in the middle of doing my nails to be on his phone. The appointment took extremely long, I asked for medium length nails and he gave me EXTRA SHORT NAILS. After I realized I decided it was okay because I felt bad asking him to start over yet They still charged me $90!!! For some super short white French tip nails despite not even having to do my pinky nail because i asked for it to be left alone. read more

I called to book a pedicure with some friends and asked the guy who picked up if the pedicure included a massage and some skin treatment, which is the service I've had at other places. He told me that there would be and I completed the booking. I would not have chosen this place had he informed me massages were not part of the package! I was hoping for a cute fun girls day and wanted a nice relaxing experience to kick it off. I came a little late (about 10 minutes) but called ahead of time to let them know and was assured it would be fine. When I arrived, I picked my nail color and the nail technician got started. What was supposed to be a "massage" turned out to be a quick scrub and some hot water to put my feet in. The cuticle cleaning was extremely brisk and little attention was given to my comfort. I flinched multiple times at the nail tech clipping a little too close to my skin, which was pretty much disregarded. My final touch up was a 2 second exfoliation of my big toenails and not much else. My nail tech finished my whole pedicure in about 10 minutes while I was left a little bewildered at how roughly I was handled. For the price I paid I will be going elsewhere for my pedicures from now on. The pedicure itself was fine (I didn't do anything fancy, just a solid color for all my nails) but I had wanted to be pampered, and this was a big letdown. read more

Have come here consistently for the last few months. Learned so much today!! I found out that you're supposed to get your nails redone every few fills otherwise your nails aren't able to get the proper care that they need. Had never been told that before! Went in with cracked and busted nails and left with a gorgeous white silver coffin shaped set. Thank you Na for sharing all your insight with me also, please don't cancel your appointments last minute if you make one!! It takes a heavy toll on the awesome nail techs who work here read more

Sunny Island Nails & Spa - French acrylic nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I think this is the best nail salon in the U-district, and I'd definitely come back to get my nails done. I scheduled a same-day appointment, but I highly recommend scheduling in advance because they are a busy salon during the day. Luckily, they were able to book me into a slot right in between customers. I wasn't too happy though because I felt as if the lady rushed through my manicure...She did do a good job though! I got the gel manicure with white French tips, which totaled $45 not including tip. The price point is pretty steep just for a gel manicure in my opinion, and I couldn't really justify paying the amount for the rushed-through service. Moral of this review: schedule in advance to receive quality service and work. read more

My friend starting gets dips and I was absolutely obsessed! I decided that I wanted to try them out for myself in advance of my birthday trip to Turks & Caicos. I did my research, looked at plenty of nail shops, and found Sunny Island. The photo is the first set of dips that Na did and they were perfect! Lasted for around 3 weeks without a single one cracking. Only came back in because of the grow out and had a fresh set put on by Tony. His work was flawless as well and they lasted an additional 3 weeks. Been back many times since and both Tony and Na are amazing! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dips. My only suggestion is that you definitely call and make an appointment in advance as they book up quickly. read more

I have been here a couple times and it is definitely becoming my go-to nail salon in Seattle!! Prices are reasonable and the service is great. They are only taking call ahead appointments and seem to be pretty busy especially on the weekends. I got an acrylic fill with a flower nail design on two nails. They came out super cute and I have already gotten so many compliments!! Highly recommend!! read more

My friend took me to this place because my nails NEEDED a fill due to a terrible experience from another salon. Tony catered to our needs and did an excellent job with shaping my nails, painting them and making sure I am more than satisfied with my nails! They were booked and busy but he took us in despite only having him and his mom be the only workers at that day (snow day for Seattle). Make sure to call when they open to see if you could secure a spot for yourself! Thanks Tony! Can't wait to go back for a fill! read more

Tony shop is the best. Super good vibes and even in this crazy time he make sure to have it safe and ultra clean. I like how comfortable the chairs were and I don't really be getting pedicures like that so there was an immediate level of uncomfortably but like I said the energy Tony and his staff put off made me feel welcomed and I'd definitely go back again and if u in the Seattle area u should too :-) Prices are reasonable and it's right by a lot of food restaurants on the ave. read more

My nails always look great after I go here, so I really appreciate the consistency. I normally get a full set acrylic manicure with some sort of design.

The only place I go to get my nails done! I probably have tried almost every place downtown Seattle and in the UD. Most are an overpriced disaster with no care or love put into how my nails looked. I needed a new place to get a fill done and I saw Sunny Island Nails & Spa on Yelp and read the reviews and took a chance. It was the best choice ever! The place is clean and the music they play is relaxing. I've come here about four times and Tony does an absolute amazing job! read more

This was quite literally the WORST manicure I've ever had. I went to get a gel manicure, which I get all the time. I picked this spot due to the positive reviews and I truly don't know how they have a single positive review. The interior of the place is a bit of a dive but I overlooked that thinking it would be a good mani still. NOPE. Do they even have a license? I doubt it. Here's all my complaints: 1. She used the electric buffer to buff my bare nails. Now that the gel is off my nails I can see the true damage- and it's bad. Like to the point that I question if nail is even remaining in some parts of my nail. 2. She destroyed my cuticles. The tools she was using looked dirty too so I'm shocked I didn't get an infection. Oh and my cuticles are still peeling from this damage. 3. They charge just as much as a classy salon but no hand massage? Never had a full mani with no hand massage... 4. Their nail polish brands were all ones I had never heard of and the color selection wasn't great I would 100% not go here. Don't risk it- if this can happen once it's not worth the risk. It will take months for my nails to recover. read more

This place is amazing!! I made an appointment through yelp, which was super convenient and I received a response within minutes. This business is following all of the proper covid protocols - the door was open the whole time I was there, there was hand sanitizer available at every station, there was a plastic barrier between the customers and nail techs, etc. Not only was the business clean and professional, but the customer service was better than any of the other salons I've tried! Everyone was so friendly and they made sure I liked how my nails looked before getting too far into the process! Overall, I was very impressed by this salon and their service and I will definitely be back! I certainly recommend visiting this place if you are looking for a truly relaxing, pleasant nail salon experience at a reasonable price! read more

In my opinion, this is the best place to go around the University of Washington to get your nails done. As a student, their prices are a little bit expensive, but I feel like generally speaking they do a really good job with all of their services. If you ever get a tech that doesn't understand what you want or maybe isn't doing it right, don't be afraid to speak your mind, and ask! They're always really accommodating and nice! I would say, the only reason why I give it four out of five stars is because they're extremely busy, which is a good thing for them, but they don't always see you right away even if you have an appointment. I've waited 20 to 30 minutes past my appointment time to get seated or to get my service started. I would say it's worth the wait but you will probably spend more time then you're anticipating there. read more

i haven't had to urge to write a one star review in so long! only because i'm yelp elite now *flips hair* (it's a joke btw. it's true but it's still just a joke, karen. it seems like this place does decent.. affordable gel nails. im not from hereee! im here for work and i usually only get a basic mani and rather pay to get my nails done twice a month than once a month with gel. they really treated me like a peasant and they're rude AF! im vietnamese and i can understand everythinggggg! if you think they're talking shit about you. they are! if you think they're not talking shit about you. they are! they turned me over to so many nail techs to have techs start on gel clients. (cuz im chop liver) the last lady to paint my nails ran through it so fast it ended up super clumpy and top coat doesn't even cover all the edges!!! when i went to pay, in vietnamese they asked how much should they charge me. one said she's lucky im not charging her 30 when i could've gone a higher ticket. just flat out rude! read more

Ever since this place changed management and name I have found it a great place to get your nails done. I have never had any issues over all whereas prior I would continually have nails break or notice that perhaps things weren't done correctly. The people that work here are professional and friendly. The place is clean and there are Plenty of nail color options to choose from. Overall the prices are fair and it's one of the few nail places that do acrylic. I enjoy coming here every few weeks to get pampered. I highly recommend coming in especially if you live in the area. There's also parking along the streets. read more

I made an appointment through Yelp and was able to make a same day appointment right away. Parking was easy to find, there are so much parking right along the street and was free parking! Which is usually a big issue here in Seattle. The nail salon is hard to find but it is on the same side as all those restaurants with the diagonal parking! Nail salon is very cozy, relaxing and clean. I was greeted right away and was sat down to find my color. There are so many colors to choose from esp in the pink tones! Tony, who manages the salon is so kind hearted, personable, and genuine. The sweetest person I've ever met here on first time meet. Tony is SUPER skilled in doing acrylic nails. I am picky with the way my nails are done, but without my input he did my nails spot on with the way I like them. He is very precise on making all the nails even, shape even, length even! Not only is he GREAT at acrylic nails but he is a nice guy who's able to make genuine conversation. I HIGHLY recommend coming here for acrylics, I drove 20 mins out to come here and you won't be dissapointed! read more
