THW WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.They did my nails in a rush because they wanted to close.I showed them design and she said she could do it for me. This is the result you might be able to judge how bad is the work. I paid $65 dollars for a fill and this I what I got. The worst part is that I told her that I wasn’t happy and she said I just didn’t want to pay. TERRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE.I came the next day to speak with manager and she said she was the manager (the one who did my nails) and I said why I paid so much when fills are $40 and she didn’t do a great job. And she said because of design and I told her I wasn’t happy with the design. And I even told her to do it just one color but I wanted them fixed. And she said I could go to another shop. AND OF COURSE I WILL. Don’t ever go to this place.
This place is amazing!! Super friendly staff that does excellent work
I love this salon! Very professional, clean, and amazing atmosphere! It’s the best mani pedi Ive ever had every time I go there!! Great prices and the BEST staff!! Love
They did a horrible job, 1st I came in on my lunch break already knew Id have to stay over for the job I wanted. However, after a half hour lunch I expected more than just the tips glue on!. She did such a horrible job, the whole experience was bad to worse. The woman put so much acrylic on my nails it was literally dripping in clumps. I asked her not to apply so thick she said she would get them down after she was done. Half way through the job I had been there an hour now I ended up paying the woman 40$ for the set an walking outwith only acrylic applied not shaped nor nothing and went straight to another nail shop to get a professional job that I had looked for at 1st. I felt the woman was practicing on my set and definitely did not know what she was doing. Now I know why I was the only 1 who had signed in during my walk in at 2pm.. horrible place survive and job.
They are good but acting hard to get when it comes to bookings
I did my SNS (dip powder) just two days ago and 4 of my nails are already off. The lady (the manager I believe since she picked all the calls and did the schedules) who did my nails did it in so much of a rush with no care. The surfaces are not even smooth. Ive done dip powder about 5 times and they all lasted for about a month before any came off. I am so disappointed with them. I will never go back to this place. Anyway, there was this quiet lady who did my pedicure who was super amazing.
We were able to walk right in for 2 pedicures. Their service was superb! I have never had a technician so meticulous! And their prices can’t be beat! If I lived in the area Queen Bee Nails would be my go-to for pedicures!
Daughters first time (mini pedi and mani) excellent service, nail tech was amazing very interactive and made it a really lovely experience. Super clean and professional. Would definitely recommend!
I really loved this place! There staffvery friendly and good service.
I wish I could show pictures of my true experiences being a 1st time customer.. again it seemed like the girl was practicing.. I went in on my lunch break expecting yes expecting to stay longer but only a half hour in she had only applied my super think acrylic set. Again I asked her not to apply so thick she said shed set n shape them. Mind u Ive been getting my nail done well here in seattle 10 years but convince n google won me on this shop. I didnt want to not pay for her time so I paid 40$ for a full set nit filed not polished the acrylic was so thick my nails looked like ice ices.. if u didnt read my first I stopped her half way through after an hour on llo y tips n acrylics went to another shop tbh 40 at queen bees n 65 for the next shop to fix $105 plus 2 hours later finally got the job DO NOT GO HERE..
Definitely going back, had a lovely nude shellac colour on my natural nails.. the ladies accepted my last minute booking and were so friendly ☺️ Great job
Good job with my nails. The shape and design were perfect.
Theyre the nicest people, very good staff and welcoming. I will be back!
My friend and I had a great experience at Queen Bee. They were super accommodating. I called a few hours ahead of time and they were able to fit in both of us for mani, pedi. I even had a polish change/fill on my acrylic nails. They had a technician work on my acrylics during the pedicure so I was done around the same time as my friend. Very good quality and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.
Wow!! I had such a great experience excellent service good quality
I love this place n staff here really friendly and good at service
I got a powder dip from Lin who was very detail oriented and efficient. I love my nails!
My new favourite place!Highly recommended.
They did a great job! This was my first time here. Next time I’m downtown Seattle this is definitely where I will stop to get my nails done!!
Edit: SEE PICS (though please excuse my mess of a spray tan lol) - Day 4 after I got my nails done (shellac fill), the shellac started chipping and peeled off two fingers. Today, it’s still been less than a week since I’ve had my nails done & the shellac has already peeled off three fingers and began chipping on a fourth. Worst hold up of any nail service I’ve ever had.I had been coming here every 2 weeks for a fill for the past few months. Each new person who did my nails had a different routine and used different products. Sometimes they would have me wash my hands, sometimes I had to stop them to ask if I should, to which they then “remembered” and had me rush over to do so. Some would spray stuff from a bottle on my hands and others would not. There’s no routine. Same can be said for prices. I paid the same whether I paid cash or card even though I overheard them MANY times tell other customers that they would get a discount paying cash. Today, I told her I’d pay in cash and she at first told me the cost was MORE than the other times I had paid with card. Then brought the price down to what I was paying before (with card) when I offered to pay cash. Ridiculous. Had started going here because it’s just a 10 minute walk from where I live so the convenience was nice, but I’ll be going back to my previous spot in Capitol Hill (longer commute but I can deal, especially when they offer lower, unchanging prices AND punch card incentives). This place is always super empty when I go in (never seen more than 2 other ppl in there at a time) so if you want a quick fill this is your spot, but if you want care and quality i’d recommend elsewhere. Only been “wowed” once out of the 10+ times I’ve been in.
I was actually on my way to a different nail salon I had found online when I passed this place, so I stopped in to ask how long a gel manicure would take. They sat me right away and the woman who did my nails was so gentle and precise. And it was only $26! (+ tip) The color selection was expansive, too. I will be back!
The women here are always so friendly and pleasant! I go in regularly for dip nails and regular pedicures. It is a clean, laid back, comfortable environment. It’s off the main drag which also means it isn’t crazy busy- which I love because then it doesn’t feel like a constant frenzy. I actually feel relaxed and welcome here and not like I’m being ushered in and out super quickly.They take their time with you and put care into their work.
The staff is friendly, patient and skilled. My pedicure came out nice. I got a simple while polish-pedicure NO GEL. The polish hasnt chipped or faded. I live in California and took a day trip ( by plane ) down to Seattle just to come to this nail location during COVID. If youre ever in the area, drop in. They take walk ins.
This is an awesome place to get your nails done! Very clean and professional! Reasonable prices too!
What a refreshing discovery! I’ve been going to Bluewater since they opened yet feel like I’m still a walk-in after 11years. Beautiful salon and roomy, lots of chairs but...some reason they are always hard to get into (chairs are never full) or if you do it’s a rushed experience. I don’t think they’ve done nails before, I feel like they are winging it.I saw the good reviews for this salon and was able to get in within an hour of my call. I had a picture and my nails came out just like it! She was easy to communicate with, professional with suggestions and professionally finished nails. Tons of colors! It’s tucked behind a business so wanted to leave a recommendation!So glad I’ve found a salon with a true manicurist that can do design.
Very happy with the service here. Very detailed
Thank you my manicurist!I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she and her staff worked with me to pick the perfect undercoat. She also has an eye for detail and truly values the quality of what comes out of her salon. She doesnt rush and reviews everything before moving on to the next step. I feel like I have tiny glittery snowflakes on my hands!
My friend and I had a wonderful experience here with the staff. We came in on a Friday afternoon, and we each felt pampered the whole time! my manicurist did my nails and her attention to detail was great. We left with our nails looking perfect! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new nail place!
The staff is friendly and kind.
Im visiting family here in Seattle, Im from Texas and I needed a new set asap! Thi did my nails and did an amazing job especially for me coming in around closing time. The color, the shape, I just love it!💖 They followed all guidelines for COVID-19 and that made me feel so much better knowing they care. These ladies are awesome. I recommend 100%.
I am in Seattle for business. I accidentally broke my nail, I found this nail salon close to downtown!At the beginning, the lady was very rough, inattentive and not professional to do my nails, she even refused to fix the broken nail because I said it’s very painful and I was scared (of course my nail got cut into half!) one hour later, no one came to assist me or help! This lady walked around pretend busy as not did her job! Everything was bad until the sweet girl Lin next to the lady seat finished her customer and came to help!She is very patient and carful to take care about my broken nail and reassure me that it’s going to be fine! I think she is the highlight of that nail salon! Hope you have enough luck to let her do your nails. ;) Thanks Lin!**********Updated:Next day, my different fragile nail crack again. So I come here again! Lin is still nice and staffs are more attentive (did not see the previous staff whose not nice) I review as 4 stars with different experience!
I made an appointment 2 hrs beforehand & was seen as soon as I walked in the door. Tons of colors to choose from. My manicurist did a fantastic job! I keep my nails short; she shaped them perfectly and applied the polish evenly. Glad to have found my new nail place!
Favorite nail salon ! Always dose a great job! The technicians work so hard to make sure you are completely satisfied with your end result. I always enjoy this clean bright atmosphere. They are always accommodating and very fair prices.Keep up the good work ladies.
Super impressed with the cleanliness and all the precautions re: social distancing and COVID. I highly recommend this nail salon!
I have been coming here for a year, and have yet to have a bad experience. The staff take their time and really make you feel welcome. If something does not look right with the polish, they will fix it immediately. I am always happy with the way my nails look and feel after I leave. Would recommend!
So happy with my nails! Finally somewhere they know how to shape properly. Staff did an amazing job with my simple style but made sure they were all even and not crooked she really took her time and it shows definitely coming back here!
I got my nails done there on Monday. They seemed to have mixed reviews but I decided to give them a shot because theyre close to my office. Big mistake. I usually pay $35-$40 for dip for my nails. I checked their website where it said dip was $50 so thats what I prepared to pay. Little did I know they nickle and dime you to death and dont tell you! Apparently it was an additional $10 to take the old dip off my nails which they never told me until I went to pay. I have been getting my nails done for almost 10 years now and i have NEVER had to pay extra to get old dip taken off if I was getting new dip put on. That is always a service that is built into the cost. I feel as though it was unfair for them to not tell me upfront that would cost extra when normally it does not. Super shady business. Additionally they charged me $1 to cut down my real nails. Also something I have never been charged separately for. When I said I was not expecting that they were completely unapologetic. So I ended up paying $61 for a service I was expecting to pay $50. It is now Wednesday and my nails are already chipping! I am completely upset I wasted $61 instead of just going to my normal salon and paying $40 for the exact same (but better) service.
This place was absolutely relaxing. My friend and I had been searching for a nail place and we for sure found it. It was clean, accommodating, friendly, punctual, and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back again!
So this was my second time coming here and this time I brought my mother in law as well. We both got the callus treatment pedicure (I believe its #2 on their menu) and OMG 3 days later my feet STILL feel amazing. Ive never had a treatment that worked as well as this. So satisfied with this pedicure.
This was my first time here and I am very pleased with my first time visit! The place was so clean and fancy! Came with both of my kids for medi and pedi and they loved it! Staff were very nice! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!!
I called at the last minute, walk ins were welcome with a smile and great service. Only issue is I had dip on nails and shellac on toes and they pretty much drummed it off, but my nails are chipping Fter a week, never has happened before usually lasts 3 weeks or until I have it removed. Still recommend!!
I received a horrible nail job. She charged me 50$ and did a 15$ amateur job.
They were very attentive and assured I liked my nails. I find it hard to get a nice French tip manicure, but at Queen B, they did a fantastic job.I was visiting and stayed at the Monaco, so they were conveniently located just one block down on Seneca.Great place for great nails!
Queen Bee Nails Spa was incredible! Theyre able to give me a relaxing though and attentive service. The spa was clean and the staff were so helpful. Theyre really able to give me a wonderful Deluxe manicure and pedicure for me!
This place is awesome! The ladies here are so nice and the pricing is good! My solar pink and white full set nails look wonderful! They are so amazing Im very impressed!!
Went here to get my nails done less than a week ago for a gel manicure. The lady I had missed a few spots when doing the gel the work on my thumb has an air bubble. So trying to be nice if could overlook a mistake, but the worst part is that its been less than a week and the gel has started peeling. I never leave reviews but save your money and go somewhere else. I should have stuck to my regular nail shop instead of convenience.
They do a good job but they charge a different price every time so I’m not going back. Today they charged me $5 to remove the polish which had never happened before.
This place is absolutely wonderful! They will go out of their way to please you no matter what and they treat you with great care. The prices are affordable and cheaper than some places in the area.
Love the ladies in this shop! My nails look wonderful and they are kind spirited women! They took their time and did my mani pedi and eyebrows to perfection! Many thanks 😊
Comparable price. Easy to get an appointment. I developed air bubbles in my gel nail polish that I have never had before. I dont know if it was the technique, or not sitting under the light for long enough. Free hand massage and a back massage. It also bothers me when the nail polish does not go all the way to the side of the nail. Its been a week and nails are still durable and not chipped. Wide color selection.
They did a decent job on my nails. 1/2 through them finishing my nails they asked me to pay for the service...? Why I’m not sure. My white friend who accompanied me in was not asked to pay for her services until it was compleated. The two white ladies in the store where not asked to pay 1/2 way through their service. As I was leaving I saw them ask another person of color for her payment before her service was complete too. Was that a coincidence... I don’t think so. Don’t go here unless less you want to be racially profiled.
Had to get a fill and a couple nails fixed before work(Im a hairstylist) and they were able to fit me in. Got there before they opened and said I had an hour and a half which is plenty time. She didnt do a smooth transition from my natural nail to the acrylic, and the polish job was so bad it looked like I already had to go in and get a fill, on top of that they didnt do enough coats so I could still see through my nail. Then I broke a nail at work so I stopped by afterwards and they said they didnt have time to fix it and turned me away. Went to my regular salon in Monroe and they fixed it for free and then I went home and refiled and painted my nails so they all looked the same. Id like to believe in going to a place so close to the salon I work at but definitely wont be going back.
Love this place! I always come here for Deluxe Pedicure and it turns out perfect every time. They really take time and do a quality job. Highly recommended!
It was a really enjoyable experience, and the shop is cute, clean, and most importantly: worth the price. Lindsey was my nail tech and she did a really thorough job! :)
Great job done by them every time I come... very relaxing and I feel great when I’m leaving.
I’ve gotten several gel nail manicures here and my experience is always amazing!! Everyone who works here is very talented and sweet. It’s very clean as well. I HIGHLY recommend this nail salon
It was a very special moment in my life when I went to this salon to have my nails done (gel nails). I was their first customer and they did a horrible job! Hot water, 4 cuts, rushing, got chipped off after 2 days, awful quality result. I can do way better painting my nails at home! Don’t waste your $100 plus tip. I did not complain right away because I did not allow it to ruin my day.
I took an appointment to get my nails done and I am glad that I took the advice of my sister and did that. They did a nice job while doing my nails and they were so good while doing it. I cant thank them enough for their amazing efforts.
Im sorry to say this because the staff was very friendly... But I feel I have to leave this review to warn people. I paid $30 for a manicure for them to take the dip powder off my nails and cut my nails .No polish .They looked so terrible that I just got home and had to cut them short and redo them myself .Each nail looked uneven and different from the other .Some were jagged. They were just Terrible. I tried to communicate with them but they spoke almost no English. Im always sorry to have to leave a bad review, but I paid $45 for my beautiful dip powder manicure at a different place 3 weeks ago. This was the worst $30 I have ever spent...
Incredible service on the manicure. The person working on me was just amazing. Shaped and polished my nails so perfectly.
The skill level here is very subpar. My cuticle treatment hurt and inspired fear in me and my French tips turns out like an elementary child did it.They also charge $5 to take off shellac which is rather steep
The amazing staff there always do an spectacular job and make all fee welcome. Thank you. See yall again in 2 weeks ;)
Love this place! Ive been going there for years and am always happy with the service 😊
Friendly and did a good job. Nice relaxing foot, hand, arm, and shoulder massage.
I came here based on the good reviews, but I am extremely disappointed. My gel manicure was very rushed and looks terrible! The gel is uneven and does not even cover all of my nails. I will definitely not be returning. I have been getting my nails done for years and this is hands down the sloppiest manicure I have received. I will be trying another salon in a day or two just to get my nails redone.
Im a 24 year old Security guard. Ive been getting my nails done since I was 16.Went here last Thursday March 2nd 2017to get a full set. They had one lady starting my set then asked her to do someones feet while another lady that has the store phone connected to her cell phone finished my nails. She did not do a good job at all. Literally the next Thursday 3 nails came straight off no breaking or force. Usually nails are sturdy and takes effort to take off especially after a week. This is too soon for my nails to come offThey were supposed to be still hard to where you have to use acetone or go to a shop to get them off but these just popped off. Then the next day another came off. I called them to see if I can get a fill in for free since it is indeed too soon for them to come off this easily.. the lady with the phone told me she cant do it free and or precedes to tell me they came off because my nail bed is too small. I will NEVER go back or recommend anyone to this nail shop. Waste of money....
1) Cleanliness2) Friendliness3) A wide selection of nail colors4) A sense of me time, meaning its not rushed!Queen Bee had it all and more. Why more? Because of all the perfect staff! They all added a special touch to the experience, due to having experience in an awesome long massage and sense of humor and attention to detail.The nail colors were all color-coded, shiny and clean. This is one of the first signs on the overall cleanliness and upkeep of a nail salon.When I first walked in, there was no bombarding fume of nail chemicals that made it hard to breathe, like some other nail salons. I was greeted immediately, and my services started right on time.The massage was very relaxing and long -- not rushed through. They did my manicure and pedicure separately, which is something I prefer when I am not in a rush.They did my mani first, then pedicure. When I sat in the pedicure massage chair, I didnt have reading material -- but the young tech was on top of it. She immediately asked me if I wanted a magazine. Saying yes, she brought over multiple choices.Pedicure was great. When she started applying nail color to my toes, she was three toes in when I realized I didnt like the color. Without hesitation, she took off the color and had me pick a new one. She was more than happy to remove the old color and prepare for the new color choice.The overall vibe of this salon is very warm, friendly, professional and happy. All of the staff here, including both of the men were cheerful and looked professional. Which is something else to note -- all of the staff here were dressed nicely and looked like they actually got ready to come to work.I FINALLY FOUND MY NAIL SALON IN SEATTLE!
Really bad...I asked for one nail to be fixed and the one stuck on, looks, well stuck on! It’s too long, the wrong shape and the way she painted it is simply terrible. Charged me $15 for that and one nail to be painted. Shocking. If I could post pictures I would. If anyone knows a way to post pictures pls let me know as I need to show you how bad it is!
I understand being a walk in customer for a pedicure can be some what inconvenient but for 27$ I got my feet basically soaked for a little and a terrible paint job. Unfortunately won’t be coming back which is tragic because it’s so close to my work.
The staff was kind and completely accommodating. I went in for a shellac and stayed for two hours getting all sorts of services! The ladies are just lovely!
I broke a nail and needed it fixed asap, so I was lucky they accept walk ins (and at 6pm!) but the service is OK.
Do not go here if you want good work. Got my eyebrows done and all she did was wax around them. They looked no different from when I went in and she had the nerve to say they looked so much better afterwards.
I decided to come here bcause it was right across the street from my hotel. I first did a pedicure which was amazing. The woman was very attentive and did a great French pedicure. She even put up with my ticklish reactions and laughed with me.I also got a full acrylic set and was just not pleased with how it turned out. First, the lady sanded my nails down at a pretty good pace. Then someone walked in and wanted a fill, so the lady said it would be 45 minutes from then. It was a race to her after that. After putting acrylics on and it came to shaping, she went at 100 miles an hour, filing my skin, and hurting my fingers. I couldn’t wait for it to be over.I get switched off afterwards to another nail tech who painted my nails and she did a pretty good job.I wouldn’t recommend getting a set here. It was too rushed, not worth the money or the pain. The sides of my nails are a little swollen and itch.
This place is a winner. Very relaxing and my nail technician did a great job :)
Terrible. I had a gel manicure done and a regular pedicure. The lady who started my pedicure was pretty good but then someone else finished it. The woman who did my manicure was just bad, cuticles not cleaned up, gel is all over my skin. I am pretty sure it takes longer than 10 min to complete any manicure, but thats how long it took her to finish this terrible job. Very disappointed, will never come back to this place. Dont waste your time or money, not worth it.
I have never given only one star to any establishment, but my nails look worse than when I went in. The shellac is on my skin around my nails and my nails were very poorly shaped. The light was repeatedly forgotten to be turned on for my left hand after each coat of shellac. I am so disappointed.
Truly dreadful. A party of 5 of us went, and although we appreciated them fitting us in at late notice, the results were awful. One of the girls had such gloopy nails, that she immediately went to another salon and had them redone. My fingernails only lasted 3 days, where with other salons they last 7. None of us had our toes or fingernails buffed, and the paint was uneven and in chunky layers. There was a half hour wait between getting our toes and fingers done. One woman did one of my hands, and a different one did the other, so one set of nails were trimmed and the other not - totally different lengths. But by the time we pointed out these faults they were closing. Avoid!!!
Wasnt even busy when I came in for a full set earlier today, nail tech seemed in a rush anyways. My nails turned out lumpy, poorly painted and didnt even cover my whole nail. Definitely wont be returning.
Loved it, very nice, the chairs massage you while getting your service.
Absolutely dreadful.... I was in between trains. Decided to get sns due to timing. Looks like slop! Better than nothing, but awful! I would avoid.
Great ped n man, close to home
Went in for a fill and two nail fixes that broke. The fill was fine, however they rushed through my paint job. It was lumpy from two many coats, nail polish not covering the nail and no clean up around the cuticle bed. Just a horrible rushed job! Will NEVER return here!
The ladies are very nice. You can get powder dip, gel or regular manicures here.
Way to expensive for amateur work.
Really impress with how well the tech did my manicure. Each nail had a little shine to them!
Very good services and nice women at affordable prices!
Really nice Mani-Pedi for a good price. The ladies were sweet and professional, and gave a great massage.
Clean, good hours, but few technicians. The ambience could use a spruce.
Didnt like it. Dont waste you time and money. I did go with my friend. Her lady was okay, mine was rude. Instead of using words like (soak in your feet, put it down or something like that) she would push my leg or she would tap on it if she needed to do something. Omg. My friend was okay with her mani. But when she saw how my lady was treating me she was in shock. I was in shock too. But didnt wanna act like total b*tch. They would always speak in their language. Which is not one of the best feelings. Its like they talking about you all the time. She told me that my nails are short several times. I said like it like that. She told me that again doing my mani. So and the end she asked me to pay before she pair my nails. I didnt feel comfortable either. I didnt like it. So I was going to leave less tips. And instead of putting number of tips I did put cash. She wasnt happy about it. She was telling me that I either need to put tip amount or nothing. Paint was bad. Nail sh8ape was uneven at all. Dont waste you time and money.
Terrible. Went there for my friends wedding and all 7 of us didnt like our nails for the price. I got double charged and the quality of the gel was awful.
Im really disappointed with the service and the quality of the manicure I received. I made the decision to go to this nail salon based on the great reviews they have. Which at this point Im very confused on why they have such good ratings. I got the full set with the gel polish. She didnt trim and clean up my cuticles and dry skin near my nail bed. she did an awful job at shaping my nails, the edges of my nails are uneven and snags on my clothing. For the color I picked they have to do a black coat first and then the gel polish over that and I can still see the black polish around the edges. There is poilish on my skin and nail glue on my skin. Usually there is some type of massage or at least they put lotion on your hands and lower arm but I didnt receive any of that. Im just so surprised by how awful it is. And the service was no better. She was not friendly at all and barley spoke to me, even when I tried to initiate a conversation. They only positive id say was I was in and out in less then a hour, but at the cost of my terrible manicure. I usually do not leave bad reviews but for $54 I want to warn other ladies so they dont make the same mistake. I will not be returning.
