Joann Nails & Spa

In and out in less than 30 minutes with no appointment. Great customer service! Great work!

The customer service here is extremely poor!
1. I got a pedicure– the water was scalding hot and the woman kept yelling at me from across the room to put my feet in. I had to tell her several times that the water was too hot. Finally she came over to put some sold water in, but it still was way too hot.
2. I got the SNS treatment on my nails and when I went back 2 weeks later to get it redone, they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about! The service was so bad I didn’t want to have to come back and have the SNS removed so I got a shellac manicure.
3. The shellac was bumpy and started peeling the next day. After taking the shellac off I found they had not completely removed the SNS. My nails were a mess and I had to have Gene Juarez remove it completely and then begin the attempt rebuild my nails.
4. The shot is dirty. The bathroom is outside and down a long dark hall. No soap, no toilet paper, no paper towels and the toilet seats are cracked in half.
5. One of the technicians was slurping watermelon at the next table the whole time I was getting my nails done.
I do not recommend this establishment. Save your time and money and just go to the real professionals first.

I had not find a nail salon that had made me so happy like this place did. Very friendly staff and funny. They did such an amazing job and the dipping nails look amazing. I totally recommend this place, I can’t wait to go again to them. They know how to make you laugh and comfortable.

So I’m really confused why this place has all 5 star reviews except for one 1 star review, the rest are ALL great. The man who greeted me (think he’s the owner?) was extremely nice. I kept peeking over at the woman’s nails next to me and her nails looked great as well. So maybe I got an apprentice or something … I have no idea.
First I noticed she didn’t use a base coat when she did my pedicure then she didn’t use lotion on my «manicure» nor did she give a massage. I’ve been getting my nails done for over 20 years and I’ve never had someone skip so many steps. It was just weird.
The paint job itself didn’t look good either and she moved me to a different chair to dry my nails so I bumped into something. she kept shaking her head when she was trying to fix it. Why did she move me anyway? And why the heck did she keep shaking her head at me?! I assume this is pretty common? If she’s moving ppl all over the place for no reason.
Anyway my nails chipped the very next day and I had to have them redone within 3 days.
Won’t be back it was just weird. I gave 3 stars because the man that greeted me was super nice.

UHM. I found my new nail spot.
I recently left the coffee stand and am now working full time at the pizzeria down the street. I am SO HAPPY this place is within walking distance.
Thank you fellow Unilocalers, as I checked the reviews on this place before going and for the most part everything was spot on in the good reviews.
Tracy did my nails. I got a gel manicure. I was finished in a timely manner and although they got slammed towards the end, I never felt like they rushed me and and sacrificed any quality getting me done. I love my nails. $ 25 for everything and j got a design and sparkles! What a steal!

This place was a series of unfortunate events, I’m not sure how it has such good reviews.
So I called in to make an appointment and came in and got sat. But before he started on my nails he began helping a lady who walked in for a repair…
I had two broken nails and the rest were fine from a different salon. He says they are the worst nails he’s ever seen and that he’ll take them off. And I know that some people don’t like to continue the work of others so I said ok. I saw people around the salon getting their nails removed with acetone but he opted to pop mine off. After the first nail I asked him to use acetone, he said no it would take too long. At my third nail he took off my actual nail with the fake nail, it started to bleed and he put super glue on it. I told him that I didn’t want a set anymore that he could just finish the removal and I would leave. He said no you have to get a set … I don’t have to do anything hahahahaha.
He blamed my ripped nail on my previous tech when it was him that pulled it off. And the whole time he was popping my nails he kept asking «am I hurting you», I kept saying yes but still wouldn’t switch to acetone.
This place is a hot mess.

I went in a few days ago and had a great experience. I called a few hours before to make an appointment and they were able to accommodate me. I got a wax and shellac. Everyone was friendly from beginning to end.

I am so thrilled to have found Joann Nails & Spa. They do all sorts of nail art, and can give you the latest most trendiest looks in nails. I found a design I liked online and presented it to them, and the owner was able to recreate it flawlessly using Shellac/​Gel. You’ll see the results in the picture I posted here on Unilocal (it’s the black and white design).
In chatting with the owner, I learned that he often seeks out national or international classes on the art of nail design. He recently drove to Vancouver after close of day to join a class taught by a renowned nail artist, and returned home after the class, not getting home until 2am! That’s devotion to your trade, if you ask me!
This is the first salon that I’ve heard of that does dip powder, which is a technique that is supposed to last for at least 3 weeks, better than shellac, doesn’t need a UV light, and also dries instantly. The dip powder is supposed to be good for your nails (incorporates a lot of vitamins, including Vitamin E), and allows for a lot of art possibilities, like ombré! I’m going to try it on my next visit (definitely going for the ombré look next time), and will report back.
The owner said that when he was studying dip powder, he would stay late until 10−11pm to perfect the craft, working on his own nails to try different techniques such as french tips. He wanted to make sure that he practiced enough to do it well for his clients, and also to experience it on his own so that he can tell his clients how long these lasted, and how they felt on your nails, even though he was often teased when he was out, such as at the grocery store, for having girly nails. Again, another indication of his commitment to his craft.
While doing my nails, he was telling me about all the new trends and how he has been practicing them, like capturing water in the «charms» to attach to your nails, or the marble/​Japanese watercolor which apparently is all the rave right now. He showed me a few samples of the watercolor. There is also a new «sugar effects» design that looks and feels like you’ve put lace patterns on your nail. Apparently done all through freehand. Oh, and he said he’s done Miss Washington and Miss Teen Washington’s nails too.
The salon is clean, smells nice, and has four seats for manis, and four pedi massage chairs. All the technicians are friendly (I ended up chatting with all four of them), and they give you water or tea at request. There is plenty of parking in the «street lot» across Burnett.
I’m pretty confident that Joann Nails will be up on the latest nail trends, should I ever want to be. This is now my go-​to place for nails!

I really didn’t want to make a review cause I don’t want this place to get packed. Lol but this is literally the best nail salon I’ve ever been too. The staff is great, the atmosphere was amazing and the service was top notch! They have lots of color, take their time and I forgot the ladies name but she gave me the best pedicure I’ve ever had. All three ladies and Hon were great at what they do and no how to make there guest feel comfortable and wanted. I don’t see myself going anywhere else for nail service.

I needed to find a place that does good work in the downtown Renton area. I love this place. They’re really accommodating as I needed a last min. Mani/​pedi and they worked me in and stayed late in order to help me. :)

Great little nail salon conveniently located in downtown Renton! Their prices are very reasonable and the services are great. I had a pedicure and a full set, and both were well done and lasted for a long time. No chips, peeling, or lifting whatsoever! Definitely recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!

I recently moved to the area from Seattle and needed to find a new place to go to for my nails.
I used to prefer acrylics but, now, I’m in love with dipping powder thanks to here.
Clean. Professional. Amazing work. Best of all, the people who work here are super nice and very informative.
I’ve never had so many compliments on my nails. Ever.

So I just went there, ummmm amazing. They were kind, fast, and introduced me to a new product that feels amazing on my nails. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Went in for a couple pedi, what a good experience! By far the cleanest nail salon I’ve been too. Most others are very unsanitary. Not only did they use the liners, they also cleaned them after we were done! As for the pedicures, they were by far the best we’ve had. They really got in there and made sure anything that would be an issue (ingrown for example) was taken care of. They also actually scrubbed them down and massaged my legs and feet. We did the herbal deluxe pedicures, and I don’t think we will do anything else again! I highly reccomend and think we will definitely be back. Paraffin wax, hot stones, exfoliating scrub, the works!

I’ve finally found a GREAT nail salon in Renton! First their service is beyond outstanding! They really cater to their customers and make them feel welcome and special. The owner was so nice and explained about the products he uses and you can tell he genuinely wants his customers to be happy with the service they receive.
The salon is very clean, and I love that they use spa liners for pedicures, so you don’t have to worry if the basin is clean! They also use organic and speciality products, as well as aromatherapy products, so it smells wonderful too.
The massage chairs are super comfortable and gives a great massage while you’re getting a pedicure.
The service itself is great! The attention to detail is super! It’s probably one of the best pedicures & manicures I’ve had since I can remember. The hand & foot massage given by Tracy was amazing too! I was so relaxed!
Oh, they also offer a complimentary water, coffee or tea while you’re getting your nails done, which is always a nice touch. Besides nails, they also offer waxing services too.
I’m definitely coming back again! I can’t tell you how happy and satisfied I am with my nails!

Love this new find! The owner and Tracy are hilarious. Not only was I laughing the entire time, but the job they do is beyond excellent! They do lashes and waxing as well. Love it so much, that I have already booked a pedi, for two, this weekend! Absolutely fab!

Service was amazing, great prices, this place was dreamy.
I went in with the little one for a mani, and despite them trying to talk her into a much more ‘girlie’ one, she wanted standard (Chanel) red nails like mama. Smart, classic girl that one.
I had the pedi with a quick nail painting and she had her hands done. It was relatively affordable and came with paraffin and some really nice massage/​products.
I’ll be back. For sure.

Went here earlier today for a shellac mani and a polish change on my toes. It was around 6:00pm and I was the only person there. Vivian greeted me and did my toe polish, she is super sweet and even painted my big toenail in such a way that you can’t tell I had surgery on it! Then Hanh did my manicure. He didn’t rush at all, was super gentle when pushing back and clipping my cuticles, and his shellac polish job is perfect. I also really like the shape of my nails. It’s a clean, relaxing atmosphere. I look forward to taking my boyfriend with me next time and trying their signature pedicures! I’ve been getting my nails done for 16 years and I’m pretty picky on quality of work as well as customer service, and I had zero complaints with this place, so I’ll be back for sure.

My feet have never been so soft! Coming back asap. Both people running the place were so nice.

I had been going to a nail salon in Seattle for about a year before going to Joann’s. After some time I saw a decline in quality for the acrylic fills I was getting, and finally decided I needed to try something else.
I found Joann’s while looking for a place to get a pedicure with a friend of mine. We stumbled upon the salon and immediately felt pampered. The pedicures were outstanding, and I felt relaxed days after I had gotten it done. They use organic lotions and materials that just left a really wonderful smooth texture on my legs and feet.
A couple days later I took another friend with me to get manicures, and I was sold again. The gentleman doing my nails told me that many of my natural nails suffered from water damage due to bad acrylics in the past, and took the time to fix them. My nails feel stronger and look better, and it feels great knowing that they care about cleanliness and quality. I will be making another appointment soon for a fill. I don’t know if I can go anywhere else now!
