LaVish Nails & Spa

I came here after I had a bad experience at Nails 2000. My nails were misshapen and the application wasn’t put on the entire nail bed. Walking into the salon, I was sat instantly. Although I had an appointment, I waited a while at Nails 2000. The people were all friendly and greeted me and asked me if I wanted something to drink. I was also given my own nail file and buffer to keep and bring back for next time. I’d recommend anyone to try them out since I know they have changed management.

The polish they use is substandard. I had gotten the gel done and it started peeling the next day. When I went back in to show them, Shelly the owner said I had caused it by being too rough on my nails. My response was, «Sitting around watching T.V. caused this? Really?!». They removed the polish at no cost to me but I was treated rudely. My daughter had her acrylic nails done and two of the nails broke the day after getting them and she had the same issue with the gel peeling off. Again the same attitudes and rudeness from the owner and staff.
If you want excellent work and value don’t waste your time on this shop. Their prices aren’t great and the work is substandard.

Place is nice and clean. The lady who did my nails was very rude though. I will not go back.

I gave this place a second chance and with new owner ship I can say I love them! molly is my go to girl and she always takes good care of me. I’ve been coming back for months already and I would recommend them to any newbies in the area!

This place is amazing. They do the BEST shellac manicure. The employees are very nice and their prices are great too. By far the best salon I have been to.

Excellent customer services. Fast but efficient, was able to get a fill on my lunch break. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly.

I went here often and brought 3 new clients. Then I brought a friend and that day was horrible. Something definitely changed. Now. people make mistakes, I get that. I also hate writing bad reviews for small business because I want them to succeed in our corporate society. It even took me a month to decide to write this.
My friend and I came in and wanted a full mani-​pedi. We even came at 11am on a weekday so that it wouldn’t be so busy. She spent $ 70 and I asked her when we got to the car did they even clean your cuticles? No. all they did was put gel polish on.
They had a young boy working there that is not licensed filling in and doing pre-​work. (is that even legal) Even when a customer requested only her regular tech help her the owner said he will just do blah blah… and made her let him work on her. That customer looked really disappointed.
My favorite lady quit and a few others dont seem to work there either. They kept telling walk ins that they could help and proceeded to work us all in shifts so that it took us 2 hours there.
3 days later our nails look like a toddler did them. My friend had hers peel up. I called and said can you redo at least my friends? The owner said sure. This is hard for me because I hate asking and I don’t want to sound rude. I did love this place. So I said is 30 min an ok time? Yes.
We get there and the owner grabs my friends hand and says it was her fault and that she peeled them on purpose and this one time she would fix it. At that point I was like, excuse me, if I pay $ 40 to get my nails done. You should stand by your work. Makes sense why her techs quit. My friend almost cried and left embarrassed. Would you want someone to work on your hands for the next 30 min after they insulted you?
the place is clean and pretty. I am really disappointed. Maybe you will have better luck?

I moved to Washington last month and searched out a nail salon. I was pleased with atmosphere the first time I visited the salon and the girl did an amazing job on my nails. No over coating into my nail bed or anything. But then a week in my nail broke out of the blue. I didn’t recall hitting it on anything. I went back ms had my fill done by a different girl who didn’t go such a great job but still a good one. Now a week later and another nail broke. Today a second nail. My balance are short and I’ve never ever had a nail break before now. I won’t be going back because I think it has something to do with the product they use. It’s cheap and doesn’t hold up well. Very disappointed — time to start looking for a new salon. Nice atmosphere. Nice people. Nice décor. Poor quality product.

Love my nails. They took their time and made sure I got everything I asked for. Will be coming here again. A good nail salon is hard to find in spanaway.

I love that place because I get my nail done and it look very nice. When I walk in and everyone is warm welcome me to go in and when I get wax of my eye brow and it end up look so great

I am such a fan of this nail salon! Great customer service and it’s such a warm comfy establishment! I was in need of my nails to get done for my birthday and Lavish Nails stayed open past the close time. Hannah was amazing! Please check them out… You will not be sorry!

They did an amazing job with the shellac design I wanted. The lady that did my nails was really nice! She took my nails back a little shorter than I wanted and didn’t shape a few of my nails very well but overall she did a great job. I will be going back!

Nice place…
But wanted to charge me 20 extra to get gel on my toes then argued with me saying that regular polish will last the same… where I’m from in CA this was the norm.
Also gave me attitude when they realized they had to take the gel off my toes from my previous pedicure…
Employee or owner… Who knows… is walking around the place with no shoes…
Bad experience for my first time and I probably will find somewhere else.

Stopped in for my first visit today for a pedicure. Despite a lot of negative reviews, I thought this place was ok. I got the deluxe pedicure for $ 30 (but had the 15% off found on the back of grocery receipts). My legs and feet feel soft and relaxed. Will stop in and try them again.

I love this place! I went for the first time today to get a manicure with shellac nails and OMG! The girl did an amazing job I love it. She was very particular about how they looked and if I liked them or not. She was very good. I’ll definitely be going back again.

The interior is gorgeous!
Kelly was sweet and quick. When I asked for gems, she said «anything you like honey!» What I wasn’t informed about was that each finger would cost $ 2. After she did the nail application process (tips, powder, filing, etc), she made another girl do my gems… The young girl was sweet, but she did such a messy job.
I don’t know if I’ll be back here. My natural nails weren’t even trimmed down, so you can see them below the white tips. And the shellac top coat created bubbles. I don’t think my appt was worth $ 38
$ 25 for a full set, $ 5 for a top coat of shellac, and $ 2 per finger of gems = $ 38.

EVERYTIME I come in I am always welcomed with warm Heart felt Hello. Kelly always does such a wonderful amazing job. I give her a picture of what I want and she does it EVERYTIME! Pedicures are WOW AS WILL! I give 2 thumbs up on this place.

I really hate to have to write a bad review for this beautiful shop BUT I just had the worst experience ever!
Yesterday I came in for a full set with design. I received nails that were not filed down around the edges & not blended into my nail beds. My hair was getting stuck in my nails when I was brushing my hair. You could see acrylic sticking up all thick. It was terrible, possibly the worst I’ve ever seen.
The polish was messy, sloppy, was short,
didn’t reach my nails beds, so It looked like I already needed a fill. When I tried telling the tech she half attempted to fix it but she was rushing me to get her next customer in the seat. So I just accepted it & thought to myself I’ll return tomorrow & see a different tech when I had more patience to explain respectfully.

I returned today & was seen by Lee. She couldn’t believe the mess. The other nail tech immediately started blaming me for a poor choice of design & that’s why my acrylic nails looked bad. (Which was a very simple design with solid color outlined with gold) Lee & I looked at one another & we both knew that was ridiculous. She clearly effed up my nails. We remained quit & she fixed my nails beautifully, which took 45 mins to repair. (but the nail tech said nothing was wrong with them, it was the design) The nail tech who ruined my nails yesterday turns out to be the new owner or manager & charged me for a fill with shellac. I was shocked! I quietly paid it & left!
I really hope the old owner reads this & returns. This woman is aweful. I will not be returning my business to this place with this kind of treatment. If anyone decides to try this place out I suggest only see Lee!

Its a different experience every time we go in. A good friend and I get acrylics every 2 – 3 weeks. Sometimes the ladies in there are great, talking to us the majority of the time, and other times they don’t say much. I am SUPER picky about my nails and I’m not afraid to complain about them if I’m unhappy. They usually fix them and make them exactly how I hope. Kind of spendy but will pay more for quality work.

A pedicure is a great cure for a bad day, unless you’re going to LaVish. The 3 tweens managing the front desk make it a very unprofessional atmosphere. I arrived twenty minutes early for my appointment, but didn’t get seated until 3 after. This wouldn’t bother me normally, but there were 5 open chairs and a lady that arrived 15 minutes after me as a walk-​in got seated before me. I was hoping the polish job would redeem this review and… WOW! The tech even asked me if I liked her work a few times and I finally caved and told her the 2 pinks don’t match and it looks nothing like the photo I showed her. She mumbled and walked away. I’m glad they didn’t start my shellac before I left the chair. The only thing good about this place is the massage chair.
