B-Full Service Salon

In need of a pedi this weekend, I didn’t want to drive all the way down to NK Nails. I also feel like a traitor when I go to Regina’s these days because I’ve been cheating on them. Out of the two places in the Admiral Junction, and circling the block for parking, I chose this one. I was able to get a seat right away and it started out promising. They definitely don’t have the magazine selection that I look forward to, so I fiddled with my phone the entire time. It’s always a little disconcerting when the person wears rubber gloves during the whole process. Not a very touchy-​feely leg massage. I guess it has to do with their hands being in water and touching chemicals all day long. When she started nipping at my cuticles, she started cutting the sides of my nails. I definitely don’t like that, but she insisted. I have a feeling that the reason why our big toe nails dig in to the tops of our toes is because of this habit… Fairly decent heel scrub and calf rubdown with the granular skin stuff. After you’re rinsed off, they spray some kind of oil on your feet and calves and give you another massage. Nothing to complain about on the paint job, then you sit with your feet under a fan. When it came time to pay, both women were busy with either a haircut or pedi so another lady who had been in with her kid, rang up the sale. Seemed like there were a lot of regulars coming in, but I don’t see myself being one of them.

I work right down the road and had some time to kill so I came into get a pedicure. They were very accommodating and did a great job :)

Three of us went there for pedis. Two of us experienced pain and blood loss. I was the lucky one. I got the gentle lady. We felt rushed. The two women working there seemed to hate each other. It was not a great experience. Oh, yeah, plus it was $ 25 bucks for a pedicure-​the most money I’ve spent on a pedi in West Seattle so far. We will not be going back.

It had been a really long time since my hair was trimmed and I was starting to look like Elvis, which is just not a good look for me. After having a really bad experience at another local salon and a so so experience with another, I wasn’t thrilled about going to yet another new place. But, it was 6 pm, most other salons were closed and… I needed to get my hair cut. It was beyond the point of being critical.
I noticed this salon on the way home and, as I had few other options, this was it. I walked in without an appointment and was immediately greeted, seated and the stylist and I discussed what I wanted. She knew EXACTLY what I was talking about, we totally understood each other and she got to work. And she was so friendly too.
My hair is exactly what I wanted and she did a great job, not only on the foundation of the cut, but also the little details that turn a good cut into a great one. She really took the time to make sure that everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything better and was really impressed. Who knew that such a great place existed, so close to home and is so reasonably priced.
Now that I don’t dread getting my hair cut, I will never look like Elvis again.
Edited to add: I’m a cancer survivor that’s 5 months out of treatment. Prior to chemotherapy, I had mega long hair, so a short style isn’t my cup of tea. I just shampooed my hair (didn’t get a shampoo with the cut, as I had grays to touch up,) and I LIKE this style. It’s cute, it’s feminine and it’s 100% wash and wear.
I want to go back and give my stylist a hug. This is the first time I’ve liked my hair since 2011.

Helen is a very caring and patient person who runs a very clean and organized salon. Her methods and professional procedures are very clear when you have work done by her.

I’ve been very happy with this salon. I began getting manis here about 5 or 6 years ago, stopped, then started coming again last year. Now I’m pretty much a happy regular for manis and spa pedis.

So I made an appointment for two mani-​pedis for my friend and I. What I wound up wanting went from a $ 32 purchase to a $ 50 purchase. Not a big deal for me, as I wanted acrylics, but only one of the girls there knew how to do them. My friend wanted to get her hair done as well. All she needed were her split ends trimmed. The hairdresser only did half the job, and trimmed her bangs, which she asked her not to do. But the damage was already done. Next time, I’m going to Head to Toe or Shanti. I’d pay double for a job that was actually done right.

Please be careful with this salon. I feel it is my duty, especially to those who teach at Lafayette Elementary, to let you know that this place gave me a horrible pedicure that led to an awful foot infection.
I am 9 mos. pregnant and could not be more miserable!
