$35 for a great fill with Shellac. They have the latest trends in polish and always do a wonderful job. The space is clean and the nail techs are polite and friendly. All my friends who I've turned on to this place only go here now. I highly recommend this establishment! Read Less

I can't believe I have not written a review on Claire's, since discovering this great nail salon about six months ago. The ladies are all extremely sweet and the manager speaks perfect English and always has the most positive uplifting attitude. The other ladies are excellent and the atmosphere in the spa is cheerful. Now onto the most important part: the nails! Each time I have gone for a gel manicure and regular pedicure, I leave thrilled with the quality of the work. My gel manicures last much longer from Claire's and they have an 80% of the other salons I have been to in the past. This place is very reasonable as well, I believe I paid 55 for a combo. They use hot stones, and lots of good scrubs. I have never felt rushed there. Read Less

I was staying with a friend in Kirkland one weekend in October 2017, and he brought me here on a Friday evening around 6 PM for my 1st ever manicure. We didn't have an appointment and it was a bit busy at the time. My friend was getting a pedicure and was seated immediately for the foot bath part of the pedicure. The staff were really friendly told me I could sit on the massage chair next to his while I waited for a manicurist to open up. We were also offered drinks very promptly; I got a can of La Croix. There was a TV in the salon, which was playing some kind of house hunting show that night.I waited about 10 minutes before a manicurist was available. My manicurist was really sweet and patient with me, even when I sometimes didn't know what I was supposed to do with my hands or didn't understand the instructions the first time around. I got a French manicure, which was $25 for a normal manicure and $35 for a shellac manicure (both before tax/tip). Since this was my 1st time, I decided to do it properly and get the shellac, since it was meant to last longer.The process was pretty relaxing; the manicurist worked pretty quickly and nimbly. I also got a bit of a hand/arm massage during the manicure. I was happy with the way my nails turned out. About 2.5 weeks later, it's held up pretty well; it's clearly chipped at the bottom, since my nails have grown out and I probably picked a little bit at the bottom, where the manicure ended and my new, unpainted nails grew in. However, the top portion is still pristine and from afar it probably looks fine.The salon was pretty nice, although some of the massage chairs looked a bit aged. However, everything looked clean and well taken care of. The staff were really friendly and the price/quality ratio was very reasonable. Read Less

A disappointing trip for my daughter and me. I went there to request acrylic nails for us, and while a simple no would have sufficed, they instead chastised me for asking for some for my daughter since she is 9 (though we both have very short nails and she just wanted something pretty for school) along with chastising me about my "damaged" nails and how I would have to have acrylics, but they couldn't help me and what they do would be 80 dollars, which I was going to agree to but they pretty quickly took the offer away after they realized I'd actually pay for it and it didn't scare me off. I don't think they could have gotten me out of the door fast enough. It seems pretty obvious to me that they don't want new customers. It looked beautiful and clean inside, but I'm really disappointed in the way they handled my business. Read Less

I would say pampering myself is a rarity. I will be lucky if I slap on some nail polish before any occasion. It's not that I don't enjoy being spoiled it's more like I'm tooooo busy going to shows of art and music that I don't think about it. While I was on vacation my sister suggested we get Mani-Pedis with my niece. My niece and I fought for the same uber bright guava nail polish. We decided we would share.  The place only had a few women working and there was a rush. But I was more than surprised to see these fancy electronic massage chairs that you sit in while your feet enjoy a Jacuzzi bath. I was obsessed with the chair. It helped relieve so much tension. I need this chair in my life. I also enjoyed all the gossip magazines. I wish I would have caught the ladies name who did all of our nails. She was super nice and funny.  Ellen was on the tv and she said I should go to the show since people can win thousands. Ha! Tempting. She was also super helpful with my niece. I also picked a very light glittery gray color for the nails on my hand and she suggested doing a metal gray underneath to make it pop more. She is a wizard when it comes to nails. My nails looked fantastic with her suggestion. Feet/leg  massages are part of the deal. I am extremely ticklish. I was not the best customer when it came to this part. It felt awesome but I kept moving around. Especially when she used the cheese grater contraption for the rough spots. I wanted to say calluses but didn't want to gross you out. Oops. Too late. It takes works to stay looking so good. Hence, why I normally don't do this. She did use some fun hot stones on my legs and they felt great especially when I got to put my foot arches on them. The smooth stone and the hot heat were very relaxing. I had a great experience and recommend this for a ladies afternoon to anyone. But maybe call ahead if you want to be taken care of at the same time. We had the same lady for all three of us. My sister was first and she felt she didn't get to relax in the chair/foot Jacuzzi as much as she wanted. Read Less

I came down to Kirkland to have lunch with my fiancé. I had time to kill and decided to try Claire's.I can tell you that it was amazing! The women were incredibly kind and genuinely interested in what I had to say. The building was clean and bright and inviting. So many colors to choose from and all around amazing. Please go see them! They are fantastic! Read Less

This is the first time that I do the manicure with my daughter of 3 years old. We had an amazing time together. The ladies are very good doing the manicure specially with my daughter. I recommend this place Read Less

Love this place!! Quality work/experience EVERY time. I had moved to the area and tried a few places, but finally settled on this place as MY nail place. My sister in law who does not live very close, will wait to come here with me because they give such great effort in pedis. Shellac always lasts me the two full weeks as well!!Read Less

Elle nails is absolutely amazing. I've been there twice for gel manicures and would highly recommend. Each time I was greeted at the door and quickly brought to my nail technician - and she was amazing! Everyone is very friendly and my technician took her time making sure everything was perfect. Not rushed at all. The gel lasts for over two weeks - much longer than gel from other places I've been. This place is clean and relaxing, even when it's very busy! I'll be a loyal customer from now on and am so glad I tried this place! Read Less

(addressing another reviewer, Wow, I was there when you came in to get your shellac off, she told you what the minimum transaction was for credit cards and how much it would be to take the shellac off before she even started the process?? You came in SUPER loud and irritated off the bat at the price of it. Why did you even stick around then if you were unhappy about the price, then go somewhere else. You made a scene in front of everyone and it didn't paint you in a nice light at all, they are the workers, they follow policy, they don't make the rules, the owner does...) This place is amazing. I have been all over, to many nails salons around here and I never have had such great service and price that Claire's Nails. For this, I will always be back every two weeks. Claire's Nails is busy often, (hmm probably because of how great their service is) But I am a patient person and I do not mind waiting to give these wonderful workers my business. Helen is the (manager) I assume. She is the one who does my fills and she is a great listener. She knows exactly what I want and if I ask her to change it up, she does it no questions asked. Helen is very honest as well. I only had a $100 cash and she gave me back the change (when I thought she was breaking is for me) so I gave her way too much money when I left. When I called her, she also raised her concern and was confused as to why I left such a generous tip and she had already had the money set aside for me to come by the next day. This place is very clean, they use sterilized tools and liners for all their mani and pedis I'm very picky with my nails and she nails it every time (pun intended) Read Less

Terrible, terrible, terrible. I went in just to get my shellac off and was told it was $10 (normally it's $5), or I could pay "just $18" for a polish change too. Such a joke. So I just got my shellac off and when I went to pay, was told it was a $15 min. For credit cards. Seriously! They wanted to charge me 50% more just to use my card. I told her $11 was more reasonable and then she accidentally ran my card for $10 and asked me to tip the extra $1 to make up for it. Needless to say, they didn't get a tip on top of that. And I will never be going back. I will definitely be steering everyone I know away from this place.Read Less

Amazing place spoiled us from pedicure with hot towels on your back in massage chair to a warm neck massage during manicure so if you want an exceptionally clean place with all the above you'll love it here Read Less

Coming from a repeat customer -- 1) Arrived on time from a call-in appointment to get shellac. My schedule is packed, and they told me it'd be about 15 minutes. The owner then looked at my nails and demeaningly told me that next time I need to tell her I need a fill. Not shellac. I wanted the (pink and white) gel to be removed for shelac. She told me that's "not how it works" - it's not how they do it. I was ok with that, I just want to get my nails done. I told her ok, I'll just walk-in from now on. Apologized for the inconvenience, even if I wasn't wrong. She once again repeated that I was "wrong" and repeated that if I call in I need to say I need a "fill". After feeling like she tried to humiliate me, I left with intent to never return. 2) Was sitting in the pedicure chair waiting for my turn to be serviced. I had requested hotter water and she told me it doesn't get any hotter. It was on the colder side of luke-warm. I didn't say anything. I must have looked a little upset, because I was. She came over, drained the water and turned the hot water on. My feet were a little red from how much hotter the water was. I didn't want to point out that "Hey, it gets hotter!" Didn't want to bring any more attention to the situation. After she noticed that my feet were red, she laughed at me and disregard the fact that she was wrong -- the water was hotter. No apology for her mistake. 3) Tax evasion. After being a repeat customer, the owner told me she'd give me 5% discount if I pay with cash. Ok, awesome, right?! I had noticed that every time I paid with cash she simply opened the register for the change and did not give me a receipt. She wasn't recording the business transaction. It'd be nice if taxes were lower, sure, but come on now... you're not running business honestly. They have given me good service, and during that time I particularly did notice that they've upset customers every now and then. Some would stay anyway, some were in the middle of service, some walked out. I'll give them two stars for the times I had good service, but I won't be returning because of the bad times. Read Less

My sister Elaine (i03) has been very satisfied with the service at Elle's for the past 8 years. The technicians are polite, professional, and well trained. The salon is always immaculately kept. The massages are so relaxing, and tea is hot and ready for your enjoyment. Moon is very sweet, and gives lovely presents often to her customers. When I visited my sister she took me to Elle's and I was very impressed. The prices are very reasonable and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend , as does my sister, Elle's salon. Read Less

I have been going to Elle Nails for many years, because they go out of their way to provide wonderful service! The extras that Moon comes up with to make the experience special make it even more enjoyable, such as the paraffin hand treatments, gifts of lotion during the holidays and even pedisocks! Thanks Elle Nails for making my nails look great! Read Less

I have been going to Elle Nails for the past 2 1/2 years and always have had great experiences here for many different services including, pedicure, manicure, massage, and waxing. Over the last few years I have seen them upgrade their services and options for pedicures and also update their products and equipment-they are always trying to do a great job and also to improve their customers experience. I would recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

Wonderful service and attention to detail. Every time I go for a mani-pedi the technicians go above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. The free pedi socks are wonderful as are the Kerratin gloves for gel manicures! The level of service and extras are worth the few extra dollars you will pay. Read Less
