Love it here! They are easy to get too, very quick and efficient and are great at the massage and the nails. I always get the long wear polish and it can last me 3 months (but every 6 weeks is best for upkeep and growth). Pleasant and friendly staff even though there English isn't perfect they sure try and smile alot. Fast and efficient. The nails look great when your done! The prices are more then reasonable. I would definitely recommend giving them a try and don't be afraid to tell them exactly what you want they are artists and want to make you happy. Also just newly renovated with nice brand new massaging pedi chairs. read more

We had an appointment and the whole service was rushed even though it was empty and my Friend and I were the only customers, the lady doing my friends pedicure kept slapping her foot so my friend would move the way she wanted her to, and the color polish was running low so it was chunky and a mess , they barley soaked our feet and didn't rub our legs or feet more then 3mins ! We felt like we were treated poorly and they really didn't make an effort to do a good job and this was the first time we ever tried them ! It was weird to not choose a pedicure or add ons it was so rushed and unpleasant! Definitely won't go back read more

This was a good clean environment. I was welcomed in immediately and it only took about 15 minutes before they could fit me in on my first appointment. They do a professional service. They keep your nails looking beautiful and they don't overdo the products. read more

An excellent nail salon (even for men). Pedicures for foot health are a reality for many diabetics. This place is very efficient and provides great service. read more

I asked for dip powder and the lady put shellac as the top coat, it peeled up within the first hour of being dry and the salon refused to fix it. Very poor quality and service. They were rude about it and not willing to fix their mistake. Dont waste your time or money here. Very disappointing. read more

Anytime I want my nails done for a great price, I come here. I love the work they do and it always comes out right. I wanted a light pink or a milky white with chrome and she ATE. I love the color she found and if you want the same thing, I got a full set in the almond shape with 'fancy princess' and pearl chrome on top. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a good salon with reasonable prices. read more

I've been in & out of this nail spa, for some reason, not the owner but the employees do not understand when they are being extremely rude. It's bad for business. They have a really snooty attitude. Thankfully I don't go there as a regular customer, I go somewhere else, but they were on vacation. I went to Tricycle Nails because I had a broken nail. She did a good job, and I tipped her. As I was leaving, I thanked her, I took a card and asked her what her name was and she got very rude. She asked me why do I need to know her name, I said because I might want to ask for her sometime in the future. She said "No! don't ask I'm too busy". It was the tone she used in her voice. I couldn't believe it. That is such unprofessional conduct in a business, it's extremely rude. They've been rude in the past. I think with all the nail spas in the state I'll just go somewhere else next time. read more

Came in yesterday for my second appointment. The first set of nails I got was just ok but everyone seemed so friendly and the place was clean so I decided to give them another try. I am so glad I did. I asked if they could accommodate a last minute add on pedicure since I'm due to have a baby this week and they made it work. Two beautiful sets of nails in only an hour and a half. Very happy to have found my new nail place! read more

so I called to make an appointment to have a French manicure done. She asked me what time I said between 11 and 12 she said OK how about 11 I said fine then she goes on to say so you want gel or shellac and I said no, I want a regular French manicure. She goes. Oh I'm sorry I don't have any open times, what a scam but she then went on to say but if you want shellac, I have somebody yeah well it's like $30 more than just a regular French manicure. What a rip off. read more

I have been coming to tricycle nails since my favorite salon downtown left. The older woman who does the pedicures is mean woman. She is just mean.She slaps my ankles and grunts orders, she's cut my toes twice and had my feet bleeding. Yesterday I had an appointment which I waited for for 4 days. I arrived early,I went inside and saw the mean woman in the back.She didn't speak. Then the younger lady came in to work She starts doing the laundry and walking around, no one speaks to me. I sat down and after 15 minutes another woman comes in,sits down at her station and starts her nails. I am wondering if she expects me to wait? I have waited 4 days, I am on time, why am I sitting alone without anyone even speaking to me. Guess that other woman who was getting her nails done, has GREENER MONEY?? GUESS MY $100.00 isn't important enough to even acknowledge my presence. Guess since they built apartments next door they don't want or need the old customers? Anyway I am looking for someone to do my nails. Lana lasley read more

I'm so thankful for this place for keeping my nails looking great even during the craziness of this pandemic. This place has taken all the precautions and I felt very safe being in here. Thuy did an amazing job on my shellac manicure and for a reasonable price. She's a perfectionist, quick, and super easy to chat with. Make sure you make an appointment, as they only are at 50% capacity right now. So glad I found this place!! read more

I never knew this little gem was here ! I was a walk in , they took me right in for a pedicure! It was the nicest pedicure I have gotten! Thank you to the nice lady that did my toes! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I could give less than a star I would first off I come in to get my nails taken off and get a new set put on I specifically showed her a simple French set almond shape that I wanted. She proceeds to put powder instead on me and also pink! You also can see where she didn't get all of my other set off! Then when I proceeded to say anything about my nails she got an attitude with me and kept jerking my hands! Left acrylic and mess all over me! Then after I paid I didn't tip she snatched the receipt out of my hands because I didn't tip. Negative stars read more

Normally they do decent but they do not know how to do ombré. So unless you are just wanting basic colored nails do not get anything special. read more

I went in today and got a shellac manicure and a pedicure and was highly impressed with everything. Their cleanliness, friendliness and the quality of their work was some of the best I have experienced. There were quite a few older customers in and out while I was there and the women working were so sweet and knew them all by name, taking care of each of them on a personal level. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I will definitely me back. read more

I only gave this place one star because negative stars are not an option. I called for an appt and they said to come in right away. This is where the service ended. I had shellac polish on and let the technician know it needed to be removed. In all the other locations they remove shellac by soaking it off so it does minimal damage to your nail. This woman soaked for approx 30 seconds and scraped it off with cuticle pusher tool. What she could not scrape off she filed making my already thin nails weaker. I was wincing in pain during this entire process. Once most of polish was off she trimmed my cuticles (without warm water soak) she made 4 fingers bleed and then directed me to wash my hands. I went back to her chair and she began to put base coat when I pointed out several nails still had previous polish left on. She again filed more polish off. I would not let her paint my nails as anyone knows you need a clean surface for best results. I told her to charge me for what she had done and I left visibly upset. Btw, $12.36 for damaged nails and bleeding cuticles. 2 minutes later someone claiming to be owner called and said they have a lot of problems with her and she offered to do my nails. I declined, suggested she let said employee go and/or get her training because she clearly doesn't know how to remove shellac. "Owner" then said she had just bought shop and was trying to get rid of her, I thought this was interesting because there have never been any new management signs or anything similar indicating this. I expressed this to the woman on the phone, thanked her for calling and request she doesn't call again. I left with bleeding cuticles, a good amount of old polish still on and nails so sore typing this hurts... In summary- -only go if you want ruined nails/ are into pain -don't ever request "Be" -could be under new management, not likely. I will not return to tricycle nails and will never recommend. read more

Beware of giving or receiving a gift certificate from Tricycle Nails. They "expire" and this business will not honor expired gift certificates even though it is against the law for gift certificates to expire in Washington State. Likewise, they run scams with "valid" gift certificates. For example, I turned in a $100 gift certificate for a single manicure, thinking they would credit me the remaining amount. No such luck with Tricycle Nails. They offer no credits. Another time, I turned in a gift certificate for $100 and they told me it was only worth $80 because it was purchased in December during a promotional special at 20% off. Promotionals are not supposed to work by penalizing the gift recipient and changing the value on them. My boss likes to buy me gift certificates, and I haven't wanted to hurt her feelings, but enough is enough. I'm going to have to tell her no more Tricycle Nails gift certificates, they're more trouble than they're worth. read more

I was given a gift certificate here as a Christmas present and still as of April I have not been able to use it. We have tried 3 times to book an appointment and they are always fully booked. Today, however, we decided to take advantage of their walk-ins welcome sign and were told "what do you want me to do- stop working on other people?!" I will never go back! read more

This is the one and only place i ever go to and leave happy. I took my sister and friend here and now they won't go anywhere else either they will always work with your schedule. they never get upset if you want the nails shorter or more angled they are always happy to accommodate. I've never left here unhappy if a nail breaks they will immediately fix it and the nail art is wonderful. I've been going here for 7 years if i ever go anywhere else i just end up having to come here to get them fixed. I've never gone anywhere else and had them truly listen and do exactly what you want but here and the lady's are the sweetest. read more

The ladies here are so nice and my nails are always perfect. The polish lasts forever. The pedicures are fabulous, too. I leave with my feet so clean, and looking fantastic! read more

Paid $45 for a full set and every nail is misshaped and uneven, you can see my actual nails out the sides of my gels. I asked several times for the lady to correct them but it continued to get worse. My cuticles were bleeding as well. Highly Disappointed! read more

I have been here a few times now and they always do a good job! They are always friendly and very clean! The prices are fair and they don't sneak in extra/unexpected costs like some places do. read more

I love this nail salon but I wish they went back to walk in appointments. The service and quality is always top notch and the price is well worth it. Unfortunately they did just switch to appointments which really do not work for my schedule, but I may try to work it out. I've tried a few other local salons and none compare! You will not be disappointed! read more

I called and asked if they could fit me in for a shellac manicure in 10min. I warned them I was in a hurry and if they couldn't do it quickly that was okay, just tell me. It took 30min from start to finish for a perfect mani. Thank you! read more

I have been going to this place for acrylic nails for a while purely based on the location as it is close to where I work, however to be honest I am not impressed. The tech does a decent job on my nails, but they must be using a cheap acrylic as it yellows quickly. When I've asked for two tone polish (a different colored tip) they've told me is wasn't possible, when Ive had it done at several other places on a regular basis. .The sign on the building says "walk ins welcome" but when I've tried to "walk in" they have told me they don't have time and to come back an hour or more later. So walk in service isn't really available.. The manager is rather short with her customers and I often feel like a nuisance rather than a customer. It's not all together terrible, but I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend... 3/3/14 Edit I will not be returning to Tricycle Nails... Ever. Went in one time (probably 6 months ago) and wanted to cancel my appointment because I left my debit card at home. At the time, the manager kindly told me that I didn't need to cancel, she would do my nails and I could come pay when I came in next time. I felt bad about not being able to pay right away, but I had them do my nails and came about 3 days later and paid, and have had SEVERAL appointments since then. Fast forward a few months... I decide today that I want to try Schellac (sp?), and being that I had some time at lunch and they are close to my work, I will give them another shot. All was well until I went to pay. At the counter the manager runs my card and says I never paid for that time she did my nails and didn't charge me. I replied that yes I had came in a couple days later to pay and she says "NO! You didn't." As she flips through the pages of her calendar she points at someone else's name and says "See! No you didn't!" After she saw that I was not going to back down, she said "but it's ok..." and dropped the issue... Now, I know for a FACT that I did pay (and if I wasn't so sure I wouldn't be posting this). But regardless... Calling out your customers in such a manner is highly inappropriate and not a good way to do business. An acrylic fill is what... $13.00??? It certainly wouldn't have broke my bank account, but her accusatory tone put me on the defense, and has left a very sour taste in my mouth. I have heard several other complaints regarding the service in this salon, So I guess it's just time to find somewhere else to go. Hope this helps someone else from an embarrassing experience like mine... read more

Disappointed with the service. Their door says "walk-ins welcome", but online it says appointments only. I have tried to call and set up an appointment 2-3 times and never received a call back. I leave messages, call them again and again and never hear back. When I go in to see if they can fit me in they say they are booked and can fit me in 1-2 hours later. I get that they are busy, but once this has happened multiple times, I start to get irritated. I have enjoyed getting my nails done here in the past, but now I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I too go to this place purely based on location alone. They have a smaller chair for young girls and my 8 year old loves it, so that was another plus for me. I can only Rate them on pedicure and manicures as I don't get fake nails. The service in the past has always been so/so. For the most part the painting looks good but there is never any softening or scrubbing of the feet just picking and digging with the tools into my nails. Whole thing start to finish about 25 mins. Well today will be my last visit there. I Went in at 945am on a Thursday. Only 2 other customers were there and they had plenty of technicians. An older lady did my Pedicure and she shook the whole time. Which I felt bad for her, but there were 4 other gals in there. There was no scrubbing, no softening just a 5 min soak and some Lotion and then on to the painting. Worst paint job of my life. Sides and tops are bare. Polish is lumpy and uneven, as well as diff color strength on diff nails. Just not impressed at all. Took her 10 minutes. 10 minutes for $26!!!!! I'm just appalled that a business cares so little for its customers. I agree with the previous poster too, they are incredibly rude. You are never right, they Always are!! I will go to their competition every single time from now on no matter how far away. If nails is your business, you should be great at doing nails. You should listen when your customers say you aren't so great!! read more

Good eyebrow wax and shellac, little pricey

Love the ladies here. They are very friendly and chatty whenever my daughter and I come in. Great customer service and they are always up for the crazy challenging designs mu daughter and I come up with. They have never told us they couldn't do a design (with in reason of course). I've tried many other local salons and none of them put forth the effort and attention to detail like the ladies at Tricyle. read more

Long story short my girlfriend and I came here and I went next door to tan first when I came back she was sitting in a waiting chair and I could tell she was upset she told me that she had accidently dumped her Starbucks on the ground 2 steps in the door now she is a good person and immediately tried to clean it up when she asked for help with it the ladies working there told her there was a mop in the back..... U don't ever tell a paying ladie that she needs to wash your floors. Worst part is that they made her feel so bad about the whole thing giving her the stink eye the whole time I WILL NEVER GO BACK read more

Tried Tricycle even after reading bad reviews, I wish I hadn't of waited so long! They did a fantastic job with my pedi, she took her time, nails look great and I was completely relaxed. The only complaint I can think of is I sometimes got that strong polish smell from the manis but I think that comes with any smaller place. read more

I've been in twice with a girlfriend and was satisfied both times. Noticed that each set of tools came out of sanitized packaging which makes me comfortable. The first gel manicure I got lasted 14 days! The second time only lasted a week but I'm willing to go back and try again as they still looked nice. They are efficient and we were able to walk in and get started within minutes. The place is clean and the staff was friendly with fair prices. read more

Love the ladies here. They work so hard to make your nails look beautiful. Very sanitary and highly recommended. Plan ahead and make appointment as they get busy. read more

Got a "gel" mani here...3 days later they are peeling. Additionally; I got a pedicure and the tech was so busy watching a game show on tv she gouged my toe and only massaged my legs for about 15 seconds. I have been going to this place for 3 years and used to get great service. NOT ANY MORE!!! I never write reviews and am generally not a complainer...but I am getting tired of spending money at businesses that give such poor service. And then they wonder why business falls off and they end up closing the doors. Take some business management courses, people!!!! read more

Walked in and was told to come back within an hour. This was about my 3rd or 4th time getting a pedi and mani. I have really tried here but today and last night I have spent my time cutting hang nails and the list goes on. Will not be back. It is really hard trying to find a good store to do this read more

After today, I will not be going back!!! I have been going to this salon off & on for a few years!! I'm not sure of the ladies name, but she is terrible!!! You can tell this lady hates her job and always has a sour look to her! All I wanted was a fill & she went as fast as she could. She put on barely any polish & barely any top coat. My nails came out very rough when they dried! I had to go to Target to buy more top coat! Also, when I was sitting at the light table, the owner walked over & turned it off while I was still waiting for my nails to dry. I took that as my cue to leave. I went against my better judgment to try this place again & I wish I hadn't! read more
