Redmond Ridge Nails

I’ve been going to this place over the last several years for pedicures. I moved back to the area and was hoping they would do as good of a job with a pink and white fill. My nails look awful. I asked if I could just pay for my pedicure because I didn’t like my nails and was told to pay $ 55 and then come back in a few days for them to fix it. It was really disappointing and frustrating to have to pay that much. I like Helen and Jenny, but I will never be coming in again, nor will I recommend this nail place.

This is my mom’s and my go to nail salon. Helen, the owner is fabulous. Jenny is one of the best people I have ever had do a manicure pedicure. Tony is gewat for shellacs and acrylics. All of the employees are personable and professional.
I also get my eyebrows and lip waxed here. They always do a great job. My skin is pretty sensitive and they have this calming lotion they apply after that reduces my redness more than any other waxing place I’ve been to.
I also think this nail salon is a great value. My pedicures last three to four weeks and my manicures last two to three weeks. That is with regular polish! I highly recommend this nail salon.

Lovely nail salon. I got a pedicure and it came with a wonderful foot massage. Very relaxing!

The only person who can be trusted with Shellac manicure there is Tony. Everybody else is either inexperienced with Shellac or just does not have enough skills.
Pedicures are OK (depending of who you get).
I’ve been to this salon at least 10 times and can say that the service is becoming worse and worse.
The last time I went, Tony was on vacation and another technician did my Shellac manicure. She cut me and also had to re-​do two nails twice, because the polish was bubbling. Overall, a sloppy job. I did not say anything about other nails that did not look great, because it was obvious, she could not do it any better.
Also, last time I was there, they microwaved smelly food in the microwave at the back and it smelled pretty bad in the salon (even with the door opened).
The owner was not there that day, so may be they felt less compelled to do a good job.

The woman who did my pedicure dug into the side of my big toenail and injured me. She knew that it happened and dunked my foot in the water so I wouldn’t see the blood. I am worried my foot will get infected. The manicure was the worst I have ever had.

Purchased:
I got a manicure and the deluxe pedicure.
Pros:
–The pedicure was amazing, and the technician was great. She really put the time into doing a good job.
–The manager or owner was super nice.
Cons:
–The only slightly disappointing thing was I got a young nail technician to do my French manicure and I had to ask her to fix a few spots as the white did not connect to other side. I think she may have been newer or just didn’t care.
Recommendation:
This is my favorite nail salon, and the shellac lasted for two full weeks. Other places I’ve gotten it done lasted for 1 – 1.5 weeks before they started chipping as I’m hard on my hands. So if your near, I’d highly recommend it.

I’m having the worst luck with nail salons. If my meager expectations are too much for local salons to handle, I need to lower my standards, I guess.
I went to RR Nails for a fill and pedicure yesterday. The person who did my nails was literally the worst nail tech I’ve ever had. Very nice person but sorely lacking nail skills. My nails are uneven, wavy and not tapered on the sides. They literally look like something a first-​day student did – or a child. The person who did my nails was shaking the entire time. I never said anything to the person because s/​he was kind and really did try. Unfortunately, I’m really not interested in someone who’s trying since I’m paying for a professional service. The tech filed the side of my pinky nail so much that it looks ridiculous and hurts. When I pointed out how it looked the response was to put as much super glue on the nail as possible and then file that down. When I got home, I had to remove excess nail polish from my fingers and cut off a couple of hang nails I was sure were going to be dealt with at the salon but weren’t. Basically, I need to go to another salon this weekend to get this mess fixed. Guess I’ll go to one I’ve already been to, but a lesser evil. I’m debating whether or not I will contact the salon about my appointment or if I’ll just keep searching for a salon that consistently does quality work AND doesn’t jerk me around with appointments.
My pedicure was fine. Status quo.

I love Redmond Ridge Nails! I’ve been going there practically since the day they opened — and I just won’t go any where else. They keep the place scrupulously clean, neat and organized and I like that! Whenever I walk in the front door, I am always greeted in a friendly manner and I always feel welcome. Over the years, I have had every kind of artificial nails and I always get a pedicure and am tickled with the skill and ability of each of the technicians.
I just love how pampered I feel during my visits. The vibrating chairs are in good working order and they feel wonderful. My pedicures are always beautiful and the foot and calf massages are heavenly. It’s always a treat to go to the Ridge. I’ve even brought my husband and two teen-​age sons in for pedicures — and they love em too! You just can’t beat this place. Do yourself a favor and let yourself relax for an hour in their chair. It really is awesome.

I love this place I wish I had a 10 star option! Helen (I think she’s the owner) is just to die for she is so sweet and kind and calls you by your first name. They do such a good job on nails they really take their time and make sure each nail matches and is to your liking. Also just today I purchased two gift cards for my family members to get pedicures. The pedis are only $ 25 and last about 45 min! They give great massages on the legs and are super clean between each pedicure. Cannot say enough about this place, this will be my go to place from now on! Go in and give this place a try you are sure to walk out with a smile!

I can’t rate them highly enough! I have been going to Redmond Ridge Nails ever since they opened. Occasionally I have had to go elsewhere if I am traveling or have a gift certificate. I have been disappointed every time and am glad to come home to Redmond Ridge. I always get quality and am never rushed. They use hygienic methods and my nails stay looking good way longer than they should.

I created a Unilocal account just so I could write a review for this nail salon. I was beyond disappointed with my nails when I left. I am not a particularly picky customer. I go to nail salons often, and I never except anything phenomenal. However I do expect my nails to look decent when I walk out.
I got a manicure and a pedicure and the man who did my nails did not even attempt to cut my cuticles. I kindly asked if he could touch them up and he barely did anything. I was too embarrassed to ask again. But after looking closely, the ends of my nails were not painted. I finally asked if he could paint the tips of them and he left them splotchy and uneven.
The gal who did my pedicure was nice and no complaints there. Unfortunately it did not make up for my manicure-​or lack there of.
I’m hoping that this was just a one time fluke, because other ratings seem to be decent for this place, but I am not willing to give them another try to find out.

I went to Redmond Ridge Nails for the first time recently and I was very pleasantly surprised. I had been wasting my time and money trying other places. RRN’s is really a great place to go.
I thought the price for a mani/​pedi was a bit higher than most nail salons ($ 38) but they inlcude a salt scrub in the pedi so not too bad. The place was very clean and the people friendly and professional. I got a manicure from Tony that still looks great days later and Vivian gives a good pedicure — loved the massage. And they take their time with you which I appreciated. I highly recommend this salon and will definitely go back.

I love this place! I used to drive an absurd distance to have my acrylics done very, very thin and then … I found Jenny at Redmond Ridge Nails! I used to wear them super ling and ultra them and I got compliments almost daily.
Had to give up the nails for other reasons, but I still go to Redmond Ridge Mails for my natural mani/​pedi needs and they are wonderful!

I so badly wanted to write a great rating today, unfortunately I can’t. My young daughter and I went in for a girls afternoon. When pulling into the parking lot the employees were all in the parking lot, I guess it’s better than sitting around watching TV.
You’re hard pressed to find an English speaking person in this establishment. My daughter opted for a manicure, pedicure, polish and flowers on her fingers. Her polish was poorly done and flowers were barely recognizable as flowers, they were just a bunch of dots. Her total price came out to be $ 25 which I don’t see as unreasonable. Initially they told me that her service was $ 50, I think the shocked look on my face was a bit much for them.
I opted for a simple pedicure and polish, my total service resulted in a $ 25 charge… this is a bit steep in my opinion, considering I looked at the price board and it was $ 13 for a pedicure. Today of all days I was not in the mood to argue with them, instead I’ll opt to never go here again.
They also have the establishment plastered with signs saying «we’ll gladly take visa/​mastercard but prefer cash or checks» for some reason the check part screams we’re going to steal your identity.
I made the mistake of going in on a «we’ll make up a price day»
Next time I’ll drive to Everett where they know how to do nails, and what a reasonable price is!!!

I wanted to give them 4 stars, but I am still feeling too loyal to my ladies at Happy Nail in Ballard…
Décor: Very clean and bright. Lots of pedicure chairs and full service nail bars.
Products: OPI
Service: The owner was very accomodating. Asked how I had heard of them (friend in the hood) and made sure I was happy with my service after.
Prices: A little steep compared to what I am used to in Ballard, but they are the only place on top of the Ridge, so to be expected. they charged me $ 25 for a fill and $ 8 for my daughters toe polish change (with flower design).
