Issabella Nail & Spa

Was attracted here because of the fantastic reviews! Super friendly, top notch care very nice staff, and they definitely spent a ton on decorating and higher end pedicure spas and manicure stations. There’s even a chandelier! I’ve been looking for a new nail salon for awhile because the one I used to go to in Factoria can be really inconsistent but I am going to stick with this place going forward. Give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
I will say I’m supper confused because there’s three different Issabella Nail salons on Unilocal with the same address. Like their ratings go down so they start a new page?

I have lived in Canada, and 3 states in the US, I’ve been getting my nails done for years and this is by far the absolute best! Amazing service, excellent polish application and the massage is the best! You all must come here! I never review on Unilocal but this salon definitely deserves 5 stars.

I usually go to a different nail salon however it was all booked and my mother and I wanted to get our nails done so I looked up places nearby and this salon popped up. When we went in the place was extremely clean and nice. The employees were all nice and accommodating. We both got pedicures and a shellac manicure. The pedicures were awesome, they gave a lengthy massage and were total perfectionists when it came to the nail polish. My mom has slightly misshaped toes on one of her feet due to a past infection that they never grew back right and the people here were so particular and beat that you can’t tell anything is different. Our shellac is also very neat and clean and they give you an arm and shoulder massage when done. The pricing was about average for nail salons. I would definitely recommend this place. They were polite, nice, and did a great job!

I have been looking for a good nail salon for quit the while. All over Bellevue and issaquah. This place has completely out shined all of the saloons. The workers are so incredibly nice and it is soooo clean oh my goodness. Not only that but I have very short nails and the out come of these are amazing and the whole experience was so relaxing. Thank you I’ll be coming back here with out a doubt !!

The only place I go to in the Bellevue/​Renton area for nails and waxing! Very clean salon, and the atmosphere is relaxing and not to mention beautiful! Kelly and Larry do fantastic acrylics and Kelly does great waxing! Not to mention the color selection is always updated and has all the newest trend colors :) LOVE THIS PLACE

I absolutely love this nail spa, I am new to Seattle and the area, am in search of a new nail spa that I really like. I have gone to two other nail spa in the Newcastle/​Renton area… But when I walked into Isabella nail & Spa. I felt welcomed. The Spa is so gorgeous and it feels so relaxing. Kelly was the lady and I think owner of this spa, who did my full set I am in Love with them. thank you Kelly. I’ll be seeing you often. Thank you for paying close attention to what I wanted. Thank you.

I always love coming here. The place is so clean and modern. They always do a great job on my manicures and pedicures. It’s a nice quiet place to relax when getting your nails done. Tonight I had Lina who did my shellac manicure. She was so sweet! Tri did my pedicure. He’s always the best one!. Great place as always!

Came in here once to get my nails done and the lady did a quick job ‘attempting’ to cover up my pink tips with gel polish (you could still see it clearly though, of which, she didn’t seem to care). Came in again without an appointment and WOW, what a rude lady she then turned into! At least when she messed them up the first time, she was polite about it, mostly I think because I was. Now I know that anywhere near Bellevue, you need an appointment to get your nails done. Thanks for the learning experience! I’ll be at Polished across the street from now on. Where they’re nice to people and care about doing a good job…

I received a 40 minute pedicure from Tri. The massage was amazing and my nail polish was spectacular! I will definitely return :)

I wish there was a zero star for this place. This place sucked so bad and let me tell you…
First off, I think the lady who did my nails was the owner or the sister of the owner, I’m not sure but she was the rudest person ever! She didn’t even greet us. Actually it looked like she didn’t even want to take me in. There was one person getting their nails done already by someone else and she said I had to wait 40 min or come back another time to get my nails done so I said no, I’ll just wait. Then she comes back a sec later and said she will take me in now. I’m like okay?
So I told her I wanted the acrylics done and wanted an square oval shape. She said okay and starts working on them. She puts the fake nails on and starts to shape my nails into the square oval shape. when she’s on to my last pinky she says «you know 5 dolla mor for like this shape?» I’m like what!!! I said u should of told me earlier before you start shaping my nails but I guess okay. After all the acrylics were put on two of my nails were slanted! Like crooked! I told her this nail is crooked and she said my nails grow like that and it’s too late to fix them. I literally LOL! My nails don’t grow like that. I know my nails… LOL. Then my thumb didn’t have enough acrylic so when I bend the nail, it straight up bends. The paint job on my nail was horrible. They looked like unfinished paint! I seriously would paint better than that. Anyways the next day… Of course my thumb acrylics finally breaks off… I go back to see if I could get that fixed and they said no. It’s my fault getting my nails done when I have a baby. She said that’s why my nails broke cuz I have a baby.
Are you kidding me!!! I can go on and on… But it’s just way too long. But anyways zero star for this place!!!

Ummmm this is the worst nail salon I have ever been to in my entire life. Attitude is just shockingly rude and the service is a HUGE disappointment… How can anyone run a business like this?

If I could give this place more stars, I would. My mother and I had a poor experience previously today and ended up not getting our nails done at a different location. So we decided to give Issabella Nails a try.
First of all, the salon is clean and big. So the smells from polish and various things wasn’t overpowering. The cleanliness was fantastic. I also appreciate the nice music and décor. Everything was calming and the lighting wasn’t harsh, which makes for a much more relaxing experience. The wait was about 5 minutes and then my mother and I were seated.
Larry did both of our nails. I got a full acrylic set with white tips (French acrylics). My mom got her nails cut, shaped and had gel polish put on.
Larry is amazing. He did my nails fast but super well. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience getting my nails done in the last 10 years. And I’ve been to many salons in the Bellevue and Renton area! I also didn’t feel any pain or get any nicks in my skin or cuticles. That has never happened to me. Usually I end up with some type of tiny cut (or more!). But not this time. Not to mention the nails are beautiful and even. They’re definitely A+ nails.
He then did my mother’s nails, which were done fast but efficiently and turned out beautiful. Not a single problem! My mom loves them and is excited about the gel polish.
Overall, perfect experience as a walk in. I know I will return and my mother says she will too! Thank you Larry at Issabella Nails! :)

Staff is polite and accommodating. Salon is clean and colorful. My French tips didn’t last as long as ones I’ve had from other salons, but the relaxed atmosphere would be enough for me to come back again for a quick touch up.

Issabella is a fantastic salon. The service is prompt and of high quality and the ambiance/​décor is modern, sleek and inviting.
I’ve had pedicures (disposable liners) with Tri… do yourself a favor and schedule one with him. He is a really nice guy, and the foot/​calf massage lasts 10 – 15 min! He’s popular for this reason, so make sure to book and appointment!
Kelly usually does my shellac manicure. Lots of selections for colors. This past time, I changed my mind on my color at the last minute and she picked out a great one for me. Great attention to detail and customer service.
I recommend coming here!

The salon
–clean and organized (It gets an OCD seal of approval)
–fresh air throughout
–beautifully decorated w/​a modern twist
–good quality and comfortable massage chairs
–clean foot baths w/​disposable liners
–clean bathroom
The service is top notch and Kelly always does an amazing job on mani/​pedis. I have never left disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem, for one-​it is VENTILATED through an Hvac system, which means you don’t have to inhale acrylic dust! or breathe noxious fumes! They also use the sterilization equipment here-​and everything is very clean.
They line the tub with a disposable plastic liner for every customer, and the towels are freshly laundered.
I’ve been to at least 12 nail salons in the surrounding area, and let me tell you-don’t waste your time anywhere else.
The bathroom was immaculately clean, and had really beautiful fixtures! The details inside this salon are really gorgeous, this is definitely somewhere you want to take your girlfriends!
Kelly did a wonderful job on my fill! Really knows what she is doing, and shaped my nails perfectly without tearing up my cuticles!
Tri did a fantastic job on my pedicure-​absolutely perfect, and wonderful massage!
I’ve found THE nail salon :) Thanks guys

High end nail salon with beautiful décor and reasonable prices. Very clean and professional! Spa-​like atmosphere. I will be back!
PS bring cash/​check for tipping

Best massage chairs and the nicest foot massage with my pedicure that I’ve had in a long time. Very nice service. I highly recommend this place! Treat yourself.

Today I learned firsthand why cheap nail salons are sometimes called chop shops. The nail tech almost chopped my damn toe off. I might be over exaggerating, but I blame it on severe blood loss.
I was leery when an older woman with glasses came over to my station but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was a hipster Asian grandma and she was wearing glasses for fashion not function! Maybe it just meant she had more experience than most! …More experience mutilating the feet of women is more like it. While cutting my cuticles she cut what was definitely not my cuticle. I could have and would have gotten over it if that was the only thing that went wrong, but the good times just kept on rollin! Her hands were extremely unsteady and she spent more time fixing her mistakes than she did actually painting my nails. Not once but twice, while she was fixing past errors no less, she smudged my polish with her hand. She didn’t wait for the bleeding to stop (and bleed it did!) and so the polish has streaks of my own blood in it.
I do a fine job on my nails on my own, but I get my nails done once in a while to treat myself and relax. Near death experiences are not relaxing.

After visiting here several more times for both pedicures and waxing, I am very disappointed in the service.
Décor remains 5 stars. It would be great if you wanted to just sit and enjoy the environment, but that doesn’t make for a great nail salon.
As this salon appears to grow in customer traffic, its nail and waxing service continues to plummet. I’ve had several different pedicure technicians and each vary but remain poor quality. For me this means, pain with cuticle trimming and pressure of scrubbing, application of polish and skill. The only great plus is the length of time on the massaging.
Waxing was previously quick and thorough. It remains quick, but lacks in art. If I require some plucking and return in a week for shaping when I can usually go three weeks, this is a NO go for me.
Receptionist is very helpful, sweet and attentive. The technicians appear unfriendly and lack (in my preference) greetings.
Sadly, I will not return.
