French Nail

I’ve been coming for a few years. I find the staff friendly, the services a great value, and the salon is always very clean (which is a pet peeve of mine). They are popular, so I always call ahead for an appointment, even if I’m coming on the same day, it’s a bit safer that way.

I have had pedicures here a few times and they are mediocre. The staff isn’t very friendly and they rush through it. They say walk-​ins are welcome but the 3 times I’ve recently tried to walk in they just tell me no and don’t offer a time for me to come back. They’ve lost my service.

Walked in around 1 pm during the week. Asked the technician at the first station what they charge for a new set of acrylic nails. I heard $ 40 then when I asked again she said $ 30 through her mask.
I then asked if she had time to which she answered «No». I asked again thinking she could at least tell me how long the wait was and the answer was «No», this time with a frown. (My spell checker kept trying to change «frown» to «grown», so it really is not good anyway you look at this word).
I’d figured this is not the place for me, ever.

I’ve been going here for years, they do such a great job! These guys are what I compare other nail salons to, and they always come out on top.

Seriously the BEST nail salon in Woodinville! My nails look bomb, and my eyebrows are on point! Grace was amazing, and very sweet.

I go to this nail salon twice a month. They have always done a great job!

Do not waste your time! I don’t know what got into me. I should have known by my first encounter when I called ahead and was told a shellac pedicure would cost me $ 40. When I arrived, they told me the service would cost $ 75. .. URG! That was my entire reason for calling ahead!
Then, this morning, because I was having my car worked on at Woodinville Import Auto (HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!) just a block away, I decided to give French Nail one last shot. I walked in the door and found that there were no clients and asked to have a pedicure performed. I was shocked when the woman said, «We have no availabilities right now. Can you come back at 1030?» So, I ask you, how is this good customer service?!? The place opens at 9. I arrive at 9:45. There is no one receiving any work. AND SHE WANTS ME TO COME BACK IN 45 MINUTES!!!
No thanks French Nail! Too many other reliable and affordable nail salons to choose from (check out BEAUTIFUL NAILS in Woodinville). $ 35 for excellent shellac pedicure with amazing paraffin wax treatment and excellent service!

I love French Nail. All the ladies are friendly and fabulous. Prices are very reasonable too!

I have been here twice, once many years ago as a group to get nails done for the prom and then a couple months ago to get a basic manicure.
When my group went for prom, we made an appointment and it was wonderful, no wait and employees were still very thorough.
When I went a couple months ago, it was also really good. I made an appointment in advance just in case. The gal who did my nails was very sweet, she didn’t talk a lot but I was fine with that. She did a beautiful and thorough job on my nails (which are shorter and difficult, so I was impressed). I suggest going on a weekday evening if you can, because it will be quieter and just overall not rushed. Weekends seem to be a little crazier in there.
Bottom line: overall great, 13 $ for a really good manicure, sweet staff, VERY clean (sanitizing everywhere!), relaxing and cozy shop. I’m confused by anyone who gave this place a bad review, and the bad reviews seem to have this place confused with somewhere else!

Clean, professional and they do a great job. Make sure you make an appointment.

I really liked this place, drove out of my way to go here, and only to end up disappointed. I have tried making appointments 3 times now only to be turned down. If you want a pink and white they will talk you out of it to do acrylic instead, because they either don’t know how or don’t want to spend the time. There are 3 other places in Woodinville I would go to over this place now. I will not be a returning customer here. I gave 3 screw-​up chances on their part and now I’m done with French Nail. I just drove all the way there, after making an appointment, only to have them turn me away, (seriously??). If you want shellac over acrylics it’s going to be $ 55 btw. Seems a bit high to me. And pink and white they refuse to do. I recommend trying other places first. This one will screw you over soon enough. Too bad.

I love this place. I miss their Duvall location, but have found it’s worth the drive because I just can’t get a decent pedicure anywhere else! I also tried out the shellac nails just to see what all the fuss was about and it was great! Lasted nicely for 3 weeks on me. I went and had it done again at another salon and it was chipped next day. They are great with my 5 year old daughter too. I took her here for her first pedicure, so I think she’ll have the very highest standards going forward. :) Prices are reasonable considering you get a fairly fancy pedicure treatment and it has nice ambiance. The employees have always been pleasant to work with as well.

The setting of this place is very warm and inviting. They don’t have the standard strip mall 80’s nail photos. The pedicure chairs are high quality and give a wonderful massage.
The service is very good. I got a nice hot rock massage with my regular pedicure (they also have a Tea Tree one for a bit more). They did a very good job on waxing my eyebrows. The best was how wonderfully they fixed my nails. I had gone to Forever Nails previously (next to Target, terrrrible!) and they gave me the worst nails I’ve had in the longest time. They were able to make them look like they should.
I highly recommend this place and will definitely be a regular from here on out.

I used to visit this French Nail location years ago when it had just opened and came in once every two weeks to get acrylic fills.
After many years without acrylics, I started them back up again. I had tried a few nail salons but was very disappointed with how they turned out and the overall cleanliness of the salons. So I decided, why not go back to French Nail, where I used to get my nails done to see how they compare.
The color scheme of the interior is one of my favorite aspects of this nail salon. Definitely not your everyday white, lack luster interior that I’m used to.
Ivy did my pedicure and acrylic fills and she was absolutely phenomenal! She was very nice and did such an amazing job on my fills. She was gentle and paid great attention to detail. It was obvious that she took pride in her work. I was so impressed with the finished product!
Such a clean nail salon too. Everything gets put in the sanitizer immediately.
I will definitely be back in less than two weeks for fills!

I’ve been a regular customer here for several years. I regularly get pedicures, manicures and just recently started getting gel nails.
I am so thrilled to have such a nice nail salon (yet still with reasonable prices) close to me. Grace and Liz are the best technicians, but I’ve never had a bad experience here.
Highlights:
1. CLEAN!
2. Spa-​like feel inside
3. Lots of options — acryllic or gel, different kinds of lotions/​scrubs, etc.

A friend recommended this place to me. Especially, Grace. She does an excellent job and is always pleasant. The place is also very clean and nice inside. I feel like I’m at a spa versus a nail joint. Price is reasonable as well. Neighborhood is great. Give them a try!

The French mani I got was nice and reasonably priced. But the only thing is that my technician really kept to herself. I like a little interaction but not too much, but they sad early anything to me… if you like an in/​out place to do ur nails this is right for u.

Actually, I lLOVED this place — it was the most sanitary nail salon I’ve ever been to… I loved the technicians as well — Rosa and Liz were very professional. What I DID NOT love was being booked for an appointment… and then coming in for the appointment only to find that it was «xxx’s day off»… this happened to me not once or twice… but three times. And for me… three strikes and you’re out. This was not Rosa or Liz’s fault, but the fault of management who put in place the front desk gals who did not speak English well enough to understand (or else they choose NOT to understand) my request. I am sad because I haven’t found another place I like better… but I feel this was just very bad business.

I’ve been looking for a good nail salon since moving to Redmond from LA two years ago. I was very impressed by French Nail! The prices are very reasonable, $ 27 for a regular pedi, the salon is very clean and they take their time. I’ll definitely be back. As an added bonus, they have a frequent visitor punch card :) Only downside is they aren’t open on Sundays…
