Akira Nails

"I was very excited to go check this place out after moving to Edmonds and getting dip on my nails in Tacoma for 3+ years. Unfortunately it was far from good. It took almost 40min just to remove the dip I had on my nails (while I was the one doing the though work of scrubbing them with acetone on a paper towel) and after the nails were “done” I asked if they could use the filing machine to smooth out the edges of the set. I was told “next time you can say that you want this because we charge extra”. I tried explaining that I didn’t mean having cuticles trimmed but it was in vain. And also that was already ONE AND A HALF hours long and I needed to leave. Not to mention that one person started my nails and another nail tech was finishing it, so the communication was not good. To top it off, at the time of checkout I was informed that there was a 10$ charge for the dip removal… when I was the one doing the work. I was so tired it wasn’t even worth arguing. They weren’t rude by any means but it was frustrating leaving the salon with my nails looking the way they did after 1h30 and paying 60$ for it."

"I’ve been going to Akira Nails ever since I moved to WA. I’ve always been particular with my nails and how they’re shaped. Caroline has helped me gain confidence in my nails and has helped them grow in a healthy manner. Her and her team always get my booking done whether it is online or on the phone. They are also communicative if there are any issues or a need to rebook. I read a review on here saying to “book online at your own risk” but if that risk is getting phenomenal nails and amazing service, I’ll take the risk any day. Definitely a place I recommend to all my friends ❤️"

"I always enjoy getting dipping nails with Jennifer and look forward to our monthly appointment! She is such a sweet person with great attention to detail and always ask to make sure that I’m happy with the shape of the nails, the color, etc. My nails always look perfect for weeks and I have received a lot of compliments! I’m also really happy to support family owned business, and the quality of the service here definitely makes the 20 min drive worth it for me! Please come check it out!"

"So I had been going to this place and they were doing an okay job, but I found Akira nails and sat down in Caroline chair and she made my nails gorgeous. I can’t thank Caroline enough she made my proposal a magnificent one. I will definitely sit in her chair always and never let another touch my hands again."
