Urban Nail Box - Ballard

"Hands down (pun-intended) the best nail salon in Seattle. Do yourself a favor and get on the schedule. You will feel so relaxed, refreshed and your nails will look like you're ready for the Oscars. They have a very different model, where you sit in real chairs, with bowls instead of whirring jacuzzi tubs, and I wasn't sure I would like this at first. However, it ended up being AWESOME. The chairs are comfortable and I had no idea how much I would appreciate the silence/serenity. They had great music, great ambiance, and the entire experience was very Upbeat-But-Zen. I left feeling both rested and energized (and also really really really loved the nails. Gel manis = A++.). 12/10 would recommend."

"I never write reviews unless the service is overwhelmingly positive. Trust me when I say that if you’re looking for a high quality manicure with artistic flair, UNB will deliver. Tristie was SO sweet and made sure my vision for my manicure was executed to a T. Everyone on staff was so helpful and kind. I will definitely be back!"

"Bury me in this color!!! (OPI’s Put It In Neutral) ✨ I don’t always get my nails done but I went every two/three weeks for three appointments leading up to my wedding to grow them out and to get the shape I wanted. This was after the first appointment. Kaylee is a joy to chat to and had great suggestions and attention to detail!"

"They did a beautiful job with the nail painting and it's a really cool space with upholstered corduroy chairs and basins they put in place at every seat. My partner and I are looking for pedicures that focus more on exfoliation, callous softening, and skin and nail health. It's hard to find a place that takes good care of both parts of a pedicure. I would definitely come back for nail painting after some foot self-care at home. Everyone we encountered here was lovely."
