J’leigh Lathrop Nails

J’leigh is the best nail Tech I have ever seen. I’ve been a massage therapist for 11 years and gave up on the idea of having beautiful nails because my nails are so short and shellac never worked out for me in the past. I have been having a shellac French manicure for nearly 6 months now and I love it ! My nails are always beautiful now even though they are short. Her salon is very clean and she is meticulous with her work. You can always count on good conversation and perfection when you see J’leigh. I highly recommend her !

Just wanted to follow up with my last review. It has been over a year and I continue to have my nails done with J’leigh, not only is she professional, she has come to be a great friend. She text messages to see how the shellac manicure is holding up and to see if I’ve had any problems with it. I had gone with family to another salon and they ruined my nails, but when I went to J’leigh, she fixed them right up and they are strong with no more bending and it has been three weeks since my last shellac manicure and it’s FINALLY time to have another one. It lasts forever! Thank you, Thank you!

I found her salon through a deal from Amazon Local. I needed to have my nails and a pedicure done before my son’s wedding. I was going to get acrylic nails done because my nails are so weak. J’leigh asked me to trust her and try a gel manicure. She said it would last for over two weeks. We did a French manicure and it looked great! It has lasted over two weeks already. She also did a great job on my feet, the color matched my dress perfectly! I loved the time we spent chatting while my nails were being done. She really took her time and I felt very pampered!

I really wanted to find a GREAT local nail person while here at Lake Stevens. Found her! J’leigh took her time, did an excellent job on my nails and toes, gave great advice on my nails and even sent me away with a sample of oil so I can keep up my CND Gels until we get home. Bonus — she’s a great conversationalist! ;) I «wondered» a bit when I realized it’s an in-​home business but the setup is very professional: Clean, open, comfortable and with the usual polish displays.

I visited J’Leigh for the first time today. As I have had some terrible experiences lately, I was a little nervous. I started with a pedicure and instantly relaxed. Even though this was my first time meeting her, I instantly felt like she was a friend. My feet and nails were in terrible shape despite a recent pedicure and she took the time to carefully exfoliate and examine them. She pointed out some areas of concern and gave me ideas on how to solve them. After my pedi, we started on my nails. As she filed off the extensions that I had put on two weeks ago, we found deep drill marks and two nails broken underneath due to being drilled so aggressively. Though we had hoped to do shellac, we realized that wasn’t feasible with the shape my nails were in. She did a full set of beautiful acrylics, using natural tips and using pink and while acrylic to create a beautiful forever french manicure. I am very particular about my nails and like them shorter and more natural looking with a thinner white tip. She asked for feedback throughout the process, making sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. I asked questions throughout the process and never felt like I was bothering her. She also talked to me about nail care and how to keep my nails looking nice throughout the two week time between rebalances. She warned me that there would be some minimal lifting, but showed me how to file that away and recommended a great top coat to refresh my manicure. The whole process took three hours, but it went by in a flash. She took her time and we chatted away e entire time. The end result is a beautiful, natural looking manicure and a gorgeous pedicure and soft feet. J’Leigh is a hidden gem. Her prices are a bit higher than your average strip mall place, but the quality is worth every penny. I am so glad that I have found her and highly recommend you try her, too.
