Hot Nails & Tanning

I have been a client at Hot Nails in Silverdale for several years, both pedicure and acrylic nails.
This company does the best nail fill/​full set job and pedicure I have ever had. They are meticulous about their cleanliness between clients, and meticulous about the care they take to not gouge into the nails too deeply when filling or getting a new set of acrylics.
I have personally had Lee, Ba, and Bella do my nails regularly, but have also had many of the other nail techs do my nails when the other’s are too busy and I have not made an appointment. They make my acrylic nails thin and beautiful. They have NEVER cut into the toe nail tissue causing bleeding or infection, where other nail salons have done so.
I have to also mention that I witness, personally, every time a client leaves a pedicure tub, I see the tech spraying, wiping and disinfecting the tub before the next client sits down.

This place is horrible!!! I got a terrible infection in my big toe from the girl stabbing my toe with her dirty utensils!!! And she laughed when she hurt me. It was bleeding and she got me down to the bone and those jerks took $ 10 off the bill! I don’t know I’m thinking maybe lawsuit! To top it off they had NO hydrogen peroxide! Gross!!!

This place used to be really good a few years ago. Now they are terrible. My friend and I went in for scheduled appointments. They were super busy and took us back 20 mins late. They had me sit at a station and put my friend at a pedi chair even though she was getting a mani shellac. I had 3 different nail techs during my service for a mani shellac. My appointment should of been 30 mins. It was 1 hour and 20 mins because they were so busy. I asked for my nails to not be shortened. Yeah they filed them 3 times. The nail tech originally put on the wrong nail color. Two nails in I had her stop and told her it was wrong. They put the wrong nail color on my friend too. She wanted black and they did navy blue. Ugh, won’t be back here. It really smelled of strong nail odors too. they need a better filtration system. Two days after my friend found out they added a $ 5 dollar tip onto her service without her approval.

If I could give it no stars I would. I walked in at 1 p.m. on 42 716, it is now 1:25 p.m. I waited for 25 minutes, to get a fill. I walk in I asked if they have time they say yes please go sit at number four. I go sit at station number four. 25 minutes past and I am not acknowledged, I am not addressed, I am ignored. Do not come to this establishment. You will not be treated like a person, you will be ignored. I came in for a simple fill, that I was told they had time for, and now I’ve just wasted my entire lunch break trying to flag somebody down to get my fill done. I’m currently driving back to work now I need to go and find another place nearby and Silverdale that will do an acrylic fill. I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to drive all the way back down to Port Orchard to get this done but apparently that’s what I’m going to have to do. Waste of your time to come here.

Nail salon was ok. Went in for a gel mani and had an appointment for 5:45. They were a little busy so I didn’t mind waiting until two girls who walked in after me both got served (one was a gel mani and one was a gel pedi) before me! Wow. They say me at a station and I was there for a good half hour before anyone and over. Manicure was not the best. The guy was really rough! He clipped my cuticles too low and two of them started to bleed, and the hand/​arm massage was awful. He put on a quick two coats of color, but I wish he would have done one more coat because you can see through a couple of them. Some coats were really thick and look like an acrylic on my nail. Not a fan. I also noticed today that there were bubbles in two nails and a fuzz stuck under another which makes it really rough and tempting to pick at. They also did not seal the edge of the nails like they are supposed to with gel polish. the guy doing my nails would not exchange the small talk I was trying at so I sat there awkwardly while he batted to the girl in the station next to me. I won’t go back.

Really disappointed! I came in with my friend and she was done WAY before me. My nail technician was really tough with my hand, she kept hugging and puffing because my hand wouldn’t form into an uncomfortable position. She filed nails wrong which was so annoying! She just kept filing down my pinky nail to the point it’s not even the same length as the others! And of course her and my friends technician were talking about is in vietnamese. Also as I was sitting next to the register I noticed some of their licensings were expired, the salon is completely unsanitary. my friend wasn’t even charged because they didn’t pay attention to her. The other workers were completely rude. I am definitely not going back!

I was buying the full set for $ 32 and I was the last customer. My fiancé was there and he is Vietnamese and they didn’t know he was Vietnamese. One of the guys closed out the cash register already and realized the lady doing my nails didn’t ask for me to pay yet. Then my fiancé heard him say to the girl at the cashier in Vietnamese «Ask her if she is paying cash or card. If she pays cash just charge her more.» Then my fiancé saw the girl fiddling around with a calculator and trying to add in Vietnamese aloud. Trying to figure out a way to charge me more while making it unnoticeable to me. When the lady who was doing my nails was done, the lady at the cash register told me $ 50. I gave her a $ 100 bill not realizing the cost of everything. My fiancé spoke up and asked why it cost that much and the lady was trying to explain and he said to her «I’m Vietnamese and I heard everything you said.» The lady now looked confused and started stuttering. But I just told my fiancé «let’s go, I won’t come here anymore» and then the cashier girl told me to talk to the guy that told her to charge more. My fiancé started talking to him but I pulled him away and said «let’s go, I won’t come here anymore. We’ll just write a review» I ended up just paying the $ 50 because I didn’t want to make trouble and I even tipped the girl who did my nails $ 10.

I have been here 3 times now and have been completely satisfied each time. My friend and I make the drive from the Seattle area because we are so well treated and they do such a wonderful job. Never have had to wait more than 5 – 10 minutes and everyone is very nice and friendly.
Prices are well marked at the front of the salon, not like a lot of places that hide them behind a wall (Amy’s Nails in Kirkland should take note)
The only drawback is the large-​screen TV that is usually playing some mediocre movie that you can’t hear.

If i could give zero stars i would. I went in with two of my friends. Two of us got pedis and the other got a mani. They were busy so the wait wasnt a problem. They made our water 10 mins before they sat us down. So my water was cold. I had this older lady, not sure her name but def the oldest lady there. She rushed my «delix spa pedicure.» My toes look like my 9nyear old cousin painted them. Although my friends person was a guy, she said he did a wonderful job.

The first 2 times I’ve gone there is was pretty good but now they have slowly gotten worst with everything including slow service and nails not being done right. On the search for a better shop.

Have been here a few times now and each time it has been great. Sometimes there is a wait but it is worth it.

Not entirely sure why this place seems to be so popular. I Had a manicure and pedicure. Employees couldn’t be less interested in me. They spent their time looking for who they could see next. No base coat on my toes and they began peeling away 3 hours after finishing. No hand washing after my so called cuticle and shaping procedure so I was left with debris, thus allowing for a less than desired polishing. I get the shellac polish, which lasts several weeks, but not this time. A matter of days. All in all… a VERY BAD SERVICE AND RESULT!!!

Went in to get acrylics removed and they repeatidly pulled them off after I asked them to soak them cause it hurt the way they were doing it. Then they had a girl, I’m assuming who wasn’t licensed because of the way they talked her through it as well as she did have documentation on the wall like the rest do, paint my nails. She did not do a base coat or top coat. She painted the color so poorly I went home and then repainted them. Will NOT be going back ever again, and someone needs to catch them for having non license people doing nails!

Just got my nails done, and I’m disappointed. The people were friendly enough, but the quality is poor. I had a french set done, the lady didn’t clean up my cuticles, and then over filed the acrylic giving my tails a funky triangular shape, still sqoval, but the base is wider than the top (white) part. When I mentioned to to the tech she just started filing more, I told her that filing would just make it worse. She clicked her tongue and said «yeah I’ll need to add more there» and then continued on, and painted the nails. The acrylic itself is horribly thick and there are tons of bubbles and «floaters» in the manicure, black specs, small pieces of thread maybe?
Never again :-/

Got my acrylics done here and the were quite thick and the man doing them didn’t speak any English and in fact didn’t do what I wanted what so ever. Was very frustrated as I walked out. And a couple days later my acrylic was starting to come off on the edge on my thumb nail. The owner is very nice and was very sweet. Will be coming back but only if its with the older gentleman.

Not much to say other than I am not impressed. There are a number of area salons where I can get a pedicure where I do not have to watch General Hospital and they actually talk to me. Other than asking me if I wanted to «upgrade» to the Deluxe Pedicure by shoving a laminated paper in my face (which is the same thing I get down the street, but for an upcharge), she did not speak to me.
The part that really killed me… I started sneezing as soon as I sat down, and had a hard time stopping… I do not have any allergies that I am aware of, but the chemicals here are so pungent, I became congested and didn’t clear up until I walked out into the fresh air afterward and blew my nose once I got to my car. No more sneezing after that.
The pedicure was hurried (they were not busy) and mediocre. I’ll go elsewhere next time.

Horrible customer service on Multiple occasions!!!
NOT CLEAN!!! They reuse files among other things. Owner is very Rude! They charge you for polish even if you bring your own. I’ve had to have my nails fixed at other places more then 3 times. Its a waste of money! ! I will NEVER GO BACK! !

I will not be returning. I have gone many times now and the nail polish stays on well but I am concerned about how they clean between clients. I was getting a pedicure and it was busy. I watched as the lady next to me left and they called the next client over. They did not clean or sanitize the area before the next lady put her feet in. I felt so gross as they cleaned my feet! They only rinsed the area and that was a 2 second spray of water and drain. I did not even see them change out the tools they used! I am just hoping I do not get fungus or any other infections. Yuck and scary. I will not be back no matter how long there polish lasts!

**DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!**
Just recently moving here I have been desperately trying to find a regular nail salon. I’ve been here once before and it has just been okay but sadly this will be a place I will never return to. I left so upset I decided I needed to write a review immediately.
My deluxe pedicure wasn’t very good personally I don’t think it’s worth the extra $ 5. They basically let you pick out a scent for your scrub and lotion and you get a paraffin dip. Maybe I’m just a little bitter cause I know she didn’t give me a very good massage but I was actually willing to look past that. What made me so upset is that I had 3 different people do my service cause they were trying to juggle everyone. In the middle of my manicure the first lady walked away to do a brow wax. The second girl worked on me for a couple minutes while she was giving me my massage another client walked in and she left to work on her and I then had a third lady start working on my nails. During all the changes they almost didn’t even shape my nails I had to ask her to file them so they weren’t all jagged. Anyways skip to the polishing it was so splotchy and uneven, looks like a 5 year old painted it. I got a whitish pink color polish for my nails and because the worker just finished someone with black polish as she was using her nail to clean up around my cuticles it got black stuff all around my nails making my nails look dirty and stained!!! I usually do my nails every week and I’m serious when I say they actually looked better before I got my service done. Horrible experience I have no idea why they get so many walk ins!

They don’t pressure you to buy anything you don’t want! My toes looks amazing when I leave!!! You will always get a smile!
