HV Hair & Nails Salon

For the longest time I was looking for my «go-​to nail place», I’ve tried so many others but I found my way back to HV Hair & Nails. They NEVER disappoint. Hai, Jenny, Hieu, Judy, and the rest of the crew are all so sweet and funny! They make every trip worth it and they can accommodate whatever funky or fresh nail design you’re looking for on your trip to see them. They are appointment based only but usually can get you in the same day if you shoot them a text or call. Overall, they are absolutely the best!

Omg! Awesome staff, super friendly. Best nails I have gotten in forever. Great selection. I got SNS done and it’s great, it doesn’t damage my nails at all which is super important. Amazing price for the quality and selection… this is my new place to go!

The owner is awesome and so is her staff! Nails designs like no other! They definitely aim to please!

I’ve known Hai for years. Even before she had this place. Haven’t been here in a while because I moved away, but I always try to come here when I visit. Didn’t get my nails done by Hai as she was not there that day, but they never disappoint me.

I got my first (and hopefully last) toenail infection after getting a pedicure here. The girl who did the pedicure was overly enthusiastic about trimming the skin around my big toe, it was painful. Hence, the following infection and oral antibiotics which I am currently taking.
I asked the girl who did my shellac manicure not to buff my nails, but she did it anyway. With enthusiasm!
My shellac was uneven and too thick and after a week I had to soak it off.
I will not return.

Update: They do SNS nails dipping powder. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s not as heavy as acrylic and won’t eat your nail bed like the acrylic. It lasts 3 weeks and doesn’t lift like acrylic (I’ve done acrylic powder and gel powder– they both lift). I like SNS better than shellac as well because after 2 weeks, shellac will begin peeling. I’ve had my SNS nails for 2 weeks now and it hasn’t lifted or peeled.

I love it here and don’t think twice about going anywhere else. I always get a good vibe while being serviced, the prices are reasonable, and my nails can last a month long!

LOVE this place!!! I have been getting my nails done by Hai for 14 years. I live in Canada but work in Seattle. I will drive 3 hours to come to HV nails. All of the staff is friendly and I always have amazing service. Some of the negative reviews on here are incredibly immature. Consider the source before you read some of the idiotic crap that’s been written. I guarantee no other nail shop will give you what you want for such a reasonable price

Don’t let the ratings fool you. The work here is as reflective as the location ghetto. They botched my nails.

Only have been here once… TAKE CASH — as they charged me a dollar to process my debit card payment. Really dislike this practice.
Also, no prices posted…

I went here with my friend because she said they were really «good». We got there they sat us the girl that was going to do my nails glued them on and left me for literary 10 minutes waiting while she played FarmVille on her tablet!!! After she applied the acrylic she didn’t file my nails or anything!!! I hold her short nails but she still did what she wanted! After she applied the polish she touched one of my nails while the polish was still fresh and messed it up and didn’t want to fix it! Overall worst place ever never going back to them seams like they prefer to use their tablets/​phones first!!! Hated this place!!!

Love this place! By far one of the most comfortable/​welcoming nail salon environments. They do a wonderful job @ shellac.

Prices seem to flip-​flop when you get designs or a change in shape of your nail (acrylic). I believe it was $ 25 for a full set, and $ 15 fill. Designs range from $ 5-​$ 15ish
It’s worth it to go here if you like getting unique designs. Other than that it’s nothing TOO special. Customer service, especially from Hai (owner) is really good. It’s not awkward and they make you feel comfortable. It does irk me when any of the nail techs stop what they’re doing, and go on their phone! Like hellllllooooo, unless you’re Hai and taking a business call/​text, GET OFF lol.
Pedicures are nice here. They’re clean and gentle, and give a little massage with a basic pedicure as well.
Never had a broken nail here before. My nails were always nicely shaped, and not too thin or thick.
The downside to this place is that they mostly go by appointments only.

I used to love coming here to get my nails done. I found out about them on Istagram and the photos were perfect and exactly what I was looking for in a nail salon. The first time I went there, I didn’t have an appointment, but Hai was able to get me in with one of the nail techs right away (I was lucky). I was happy with my nails and decided to come back for a fill. Every time I went back after this, I wasn’t thrilled with my nails or the service.
The shop is very small and you are basically holding hands with the person next to you getting their nails done, which makes it very awkward when two people sitting on either side of you are talking to each other the whole time because your face is directly in between them.
Everytime I went to get my nails done, I was hoping Hai would do them, but that seemed to be the case with everyone and for good reason. Hai does great work, but the other nail techs, not so much. I would start out with one person doing my nails, and then it was always sort of an assembly line after that. Someone else would finish my fill, another would start the painting, another would apply gems, etc. I didn’t like that. The work also became very sloppy (nail polish on my skin, very thick acryclic, crooked nails, uneven lines in the hand designs) and I’ve noticed over the last few months that the photos on their Instagram are horrible! I’m not sure if they’ve hired different people, or what, but I’m not impressed and won’t be returning.

Been here once so far and it was okay! Got a basic gel manicure and it was 25. They do require appointments so keep that in mind, & parking is a little short. I think my tech was new/​inexperienced because my gel mani looked ok the first day, then started fading out & I could almost see my nail on one finger. I think I’m going to make an appointment with Hai (the owner) & give this place another shot!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
My nails be looking fineeeeeee!
I don’t even usually do my nails but I came last weekend and oh my goodness. Homegirl hooked it up real good!
I love it!
Hai is so nice and funny. And the store is cute and simple and you feel right at home!
I also got my eyebrow waxed because you know gotta keep these brows nice. Gotta keep it. She did them perfectly. Like I’m really REALLY anal with my eyebrows and sometimes people arch them too much I be looking like a cholo and sometimes too straight I be looking like straight up Asian. It turned out great! And barely hurt.
I would recommend this place for anyone! I’m bringing all my girlfriends here, especially my best friend. She likes biting her nails.
;) thanks hai and your team!

I have gone to this place 3 times and I have had a great experience each time. The shop is clean which is nice because a dirty shop makes me wonder a little bit about other stuff.
Today I got a fill with a base color and tip painted differently. I brought in a color for the tips. Hai wasn’t sure if it would work — we ended up going with a different but similar color. And my nails look really good. She also told me a couple other places her customers have mentioned. I thought it was really nice and informative. «I am not jealous of other places because I am appointment only and sometimes I don’t have anything open. So it’s nice to give my customers options for those times I can’t help them.»
Definitely will be going back.

I just wanted to come by and rate well for this salon because the owner came 8 in the morning of my senior prom and did my nails! She’s wonderful for doing that.
The place is great, small but looks like it’s perfect just for nails. She took a look at pictures of nail designs that I wanted and immediately gave me some great ideas as to what to do to make my nails look fab. I highly recommend this place solely because of the customer service and friendliness. I came here on a recommendation and I am totally satisfied.
Also, three customers came in as soon as my nails were about finished and she was so kind enough to get them into pedicure chairs first before my nails dried completely, all by herself while still conversing with me. She knows what she’s doing, obviously!

Came here for the first time today & will definitely be returning! Had an appointment at 1 but came in about 10 minutes early. It was a little busy but I only waited about 5 or so minutes before I got seated to a chair. Everyone’s super friendly & welcoming there, no awkwardness or feeling like they’re talking about you in their language (like at some other nail salons, and make you feel uncomfortable). If you’re in the burien area I definitely recommend stopping by!

My normal spot turned us away for fills. I called HV nails from seeing good reviews here on Unilocal.They were so amazing they said come on in. They are appointment only but today it was meant to be they had an opening. They did a great job with our nails. They were friendly and fun. We will def be going back for some nail art. I’m so glad I took a chance on them. We already booked our appointment to go back in two weeks :)
