Nail Time

I think this place is good for a basic pedi/​Mani. They have a lot of pedi chairs so 3 – 4 of you can go together which is nice.

I would recommend to not go to this place. Their services are extremely bad. Employees are on the phone while working. The owner is rude to her workers. She charges high prices for services; however, she pays her employees $ 6 dollar for 1 hour which is against the law. I would not going to a place where labor abuse occurs.

I’ve been going to Nail time for a couple of years now and really hated to write this review. They have really gone down hill. If I don’t call ahead and make an appointment, I have gotten very mixed results. There are three women that I love and others I’m not happy with. I get a regular pedi and a shellac mani. They last four times they have lasted less and less time. I travel for a work and don’t have time to come in to get them fixed. Unfortunately this last time was probably my last. it makes me sad but the turnover of staff seems too frequent to keep up with and that must mean something. I hope they get if figured out.

Well I have been here several times and have always had a good experience. until today! I walked in… told them I needed a fill. They said pick my polish. I did and sat down and waited. A few minutes later another lady walked in. Picked out her polish… and they helped her first! I stood up and pit my jacket on. No one said anything. I walked across the salon and put my polish away. Still nothing. I announced I was leaving and they said nothing. I will never come back here

Not the best place (Day Nails is) but good! People are nice, they’re very fully staffed. The prices are moderate? Not more or less expensive than average. I love getting shellac here, they have quite an array of colors to choose from! Good place to go if you’re in a big group.

i went there 2 weeks ago got charged way too much the organic nails are not worth the extra 10 $. she said they were more natural, but a fay later they statted to turn a foggy white. they rushed and didnt file the sides down two nails broke in the 1^st week. this has not been the 1^st time either, the last 3 times i went they broke and didnt do a good job either. i go to tiffanys nails on 16^th not as nice of a place but the work they do and the fees are well worth it. nail time charged me 55 $ for something that i pay 25 $ for and they dont do as good of a job at recommend nail time. ive been to many nail. salons worst service ever

Love this place! This little gem in west Seattle saved my nails from a «fill from hell!» The owner Samantha is awesome! She is precise, gentle and very caring. She made sure I got what I wanted and that I left happy. This is my new spot for all my nail needs!

I visited the shop today with my stepdaughter while she was getting her nails done and decided to get a pedicure but the polish selection was less than desirable but I finally picked a newly released OPI color. Now the pedicure was okay to say the least cause the lady who was doing it is new to the shop, she was a little harsh with the file on my cuticles, the paint job was not that great ! she didn’t fully paint some nails, there’s polish on some cuticles and there’s marks & smudges in the polish too ! Now I want to like this shop cause the owner seems real nice and my stepdaughter has always had a good experience but I’m not so sure

It was my first visit to Nail Time and I sat next to a woman who had been getting pedicures at Nail Time on a walk-​in basis for many years. My technician was Amy and instead of using hand tools to remove my cuticles, she wanted to use a small electric grinder. Throughout my entire pedicure Amy was talking to and watching the woman next to me. The result of her using the grinder was to gouge groves near all of my cuticles, which weaken my toenails and my cuticles were not removed. My toes still hurt a month later and it will take about 4 months for the groves to grow out of my toenails. Amy continued the entire process without paying attention and her final product looked like worse than if I hadn’t gotten a pedicure. So if you go to Nail Time, ask for someone other than Amy.

Terrible… i got a mani here yesterday, and it’s already started to peel for shellac… i will take my 30 bucks elsewhere

My favorite nail place in seattle! I always opt for the extra five minute shmassage at the end of my service and it’s a great addition. I highly recommend them for all of your nail needs. :)

They usually do a decent job at the work but their customer service was horrible my last time. I was asked four times what I needed and each time I said I had an appointment for a mani and pedi. Forty minutes after my appointment time I asked to finally be started because I only had 90 minutes. What a mess. I won’t come back.

My pedicure here was great and I would probably come back for that. My manicure on the other hand (see what I did there) is another story. It looked like I had done my nails myself and after just 2 days it’s already chipping.

My daughter received 2^nd degree burns from wax at Nail Time in West Seattle. She went in on Saturday for a brow and lip wax. I’m shocked at the negligence of this employee/​establishment. The wax that was used was so hot that my daughter has now missed two days of school and has scabs all around her brows and on her lip. My husband and I have been on the phone all weekend with the nurses at Harborview and we got her into the dermatologist on Monday night. She now has a prescription strength ointment to hopefully minimize scarring or any permanent discoloration on my daughters face. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service and the response from Nail Time. We have received a refund for the service itself, but no offer to cover any medical expenses, etc.
Do not get waxed here and do not let your children go here.

OUCH! My daughter just came home from getting her eyebrows & lip waxed. After getting completely burned on both to the point where they will definitely scab up, she was told that «it always happens this way. Normal.» NOT! Any semi experienced practitioner would not apply wax that hot to someone’s face.
She came home in obvious pain and at this point my wife is outraged. Going back down to Nail Time with our wounded one in tow, the owner (admittedly very nice and apologetic) acknowledged finally that it was a bad wax job.
She did give her back the nominal amount for the service and my daughter elected to let her keep the tip. I give this experience two stars since they did refund the money but the next few weeks of pain and embarrassment is not worth the price.
Nice people but need much better training in my humble opinion.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I come from Cap Hill, when there are dozens of salons on the hill… because these ladies rock! Sam is so incredibly sweet, and her staff is so great at pampering and making you feel the full spa experience.
I’ve found that in a lot of salons, I’ve felt rushed and not really comfortable. Here, it is the opposite experience. The prices are decent, the job is well done, and everyone greets you with a big smile.
What more could you ask for? Thanks Sam!

I bought a DealDigger deal for this place way back when. As in, when they still had DealDigger. I put off using it for the longest time and when I finally decided to use it, I logged onto Unilocal and saw these reviews. It made me a little nervous, but I already had the deal so off I went.
I got a French manicure with glitter over Shellac for $ 15. I couldn’t find the glitter I wanted from their swatches. At first one lady came and foiled my fingers to take my previous nail polish off. She told me it would cost $ 5. I thought this was kind of crazy considering it was normal nail polish and not Shellac but I didn’t want to be a cheapskate so I didn’t say anything.
Then a man came and sat down. He was really good about finding the right glitter polish for me. I saw a review that mentioned no one spoke English. I didn’t pay too much attention to the other employees but this man spoke fluent English. He looked at my fingers and realized the lady gave me a Shellac nail polish removal on my regular nails. The lady never even asked me! The man understood exactly what I wanted for my manicure (since it was kind of offbeat) and did a great job. He never rushed and when one of my nails touched my finger in the UV light, he just fixed it for me, no problem.
While my nails were curing, he talked to me about the manicure and how to get it off at home (it was my first Shellac) without trying to sell me on coming back for a $ 5 removal. Also, he didn’t charge me for the initial removal of my non-​Shellac nails which I thought was nice of him.
I waited to review since I noticed a lot of people said their Shellac fell off quickly but I didn’t have that problem. It’s now day 13. A few days ago, I noticed one nail seemed chipped and one other nail looked like the Shellac wanted to fall off but it didn’t. On day 13, I see a couple pieces loosening and caught onto my stuff once or twice, but overall, it would def. last 14 days.
I was happy with my manicure. If I was in the are and wanted Shellac again, I would come back.

Yes, I posted the first picture for Nail time. The picture of my unevenly painted shellac french manicured nails
No, I didn’t understand a word they were saying to each other while me & my bridesmaids were getting our nails done together. Chatting with each other in Vietnamese in front of customers is not professional.
Yes, I mentioned it to the lady (shorter hair older looking) that she made a mistake on SEVERAL nails
No, she didn’t fix it and just told me «oh very sorry i cannot anymore it hard now. polish is very hard now. see? I cannot fix» (wtf?!! i didn’t come in to pay for f*cked up nails!)
Yes, the place wasn’t very clean/​new. The machine to place my fingers in to dry my shellac nails had dirty finger prints on the clear plastic I felt disgusted I wasn’t resting my fingers down the whole time.
No, I didn’t get a refund or anything despite my obvious displeasure & VERY obviously unevenly painted nails. (there was even one with a white splotch on my right ring fingernail. uughh)
Yes, It was my wedding the next day & I told them so beforehand. My girlfriends felt bad for me after seeing my messed up nails.
No, I will never return. Thank you very much.

I came to this place becauese I got a half off coupon. I really liked how my pedicure and manicure came out but the customer service really lacked. When customers are getting a service keep your personal conversations to a minmum. Regardless if the customer has a coupon or not treat everyone the same.
I also think this place is very over priced. Go elsewhere if you can.

I used to live in Los Angeles and I am used to less-​expensive nail salons and I have low expectations going to these places. I know I’ll get a decent pedicure or manicure for a good price and I expect nothing more. Since moving back to Seattle, I have been looking for a salon that will do a pedicure for under $ 15.00. So, when I bought the spa package at Nail Time on a discount coupon site (similar to Groupon) I was guessing that I had finally found the type of establishment I was used to in LA.
Walking into Nail Time, I wasn’t expecting a luxury spa experience, but I was expecting that for the regular price of $ 45 I would get a decent amount of service. Needless to say, I got great toes, but the manicure and whatever other parts of the «Spa Package» that was to be included, was a joke. My cuticles were not touched and looked a mess. My nails were cut and filed at all angles and odd shapes. The «massage» was painful as they used some abrasive scrub that made me wince and wish they would stop. Had I paid full price for the «spa package» I would have thrown a fit, but because I paid half price and had very low expectations, the experience left me feeling frustrated, but I just walked away knowing I would never return.
The person who appeared to be in charge seemed genuinely interested in my well-​being, but the women working on my hands and feet were not. Whether it’s one or none, everyone working at a place such as a nail salon should be at the same level of customer service to ensure a positive experience for all clientele. Otherwise, it’s a fail.
I will never go back.
