Regina Nail

Very nice staff, quick pedicure. You sit waiting for your nails to dry longer than the pedicure. Decent but not great.

I really hate leaving negative reviews on small businesses, but I just had one of the worst nail experiences of my life.
I made an appointment and walked in to find three people who had obviously just gotten there. There are only two employees so I was concerned. I was seated immediately and tended to by a lovely gentleman, but then became part of an assembly line of switching back and forth to give pedicures to four people. I never received a foot massage and the total pedicure (including about 10 minutes of switching time) took about 30 minutes.
Then came the manicure. After I was seated for the manicure by the female employee, she slapped some top coat on my toenails and toes. Seriously, there is topcoat all over my toes. She half heartedly filed my nails and began to put the shellac base coat on. I had to point out three times that there were some falling fuzzies that needed to be taken off my nails before painting them.
The polish is very uneven and doesn’t really start at the bottom of my nail. The top gel coat is also on my fingers themselves. I am currently filing them to try to save the shellac. I am really bummed because my first pedicure here was excellent, but this was truly terrible. I don’t think I will be returning.
THREE DAYS LATER– Shellac is already peeling. Don’t be entranced by the low price, it’s worth the extra $ 5 for a shellac manicure that lasts longer than a regular one.

My friend was getting married the next day and suddenly decided she needed a manicure and pedicure. So, I pulled up my Unilocal app, and started making phone calls.
This was the 3^rd place I called, the first two having no openings for that day on such short notice. There seemed to be a bit of a language barrier– at first they said sure, no problem, 4pm tomorrow. No, no, no, I said I need today, so thank you but I need to make other phone calls. No, no, no, she said, 4 pm today. Today? Awesome, see you then.
When we arrived, we did have to wait a bit, but that gave my friend time to decide on her colors, so it worked out for the best. There was a huge selection of colors, both regular polish and gel. Pedicures first– not bad, the water got cool quickly, and the woman doing my nails appeared to be talking to herself in her native language (the other woman didn’t appear to acknowledge that she was speaking), and even though she started before my friend, I was done after she was.
I was quite happy with my pedicure, not so impressed with the manicure. When I left, it was uneven, had some bubbles, and chipped before the day was over. My friend got a gel manicure and was totally thrilled with it.
Not the best experience, but not terrible either. If it’s in your neighborhood and you need a pedicure or gel manicure, try it out!

The only place for beautiful nails. Rose and Ryan are so very kind.

Went here for the first time today. Walked in and there was only one other customer in the shop at 3pm on a Wednesday which was great for me because I didn’t make an appointment and I wanted a full set of acrylic nails.
The staff was nice, there was an older male and a middle aged female working there and they were both quiet but nice. By the end of my set of new claws, the two staff was juggling three different customers who wanted various types of manicures. They seemed to be used to this and didn’t leave me in a chair waiting for more than a few minutes in between coats drying. Super nice service! Great price, $ 25 plus tip for a full set of acrylics. Might wanna make an appointment next time for a fill in case they are busy but as long as you’re not in a huge rush, this is the place to go in Alaska Junction for some fierce shellac or acrylic claws!

I went in at 12:20 on a Sunday but my reservation was for 12:30. It was pretty slow in there. A mother and daughter waiting for their nails to dry and a women getting her manicure. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted and seated right a way. I was very upset that the massage chairs were not working properly. It turned on but the chair suddenly stopped. The pedicure overall was decent and quick. After the pedicure was complete, the man put a small heater on a chair in front of my toes to dry. I’ve had less than ten pedicures in my life and I never have seen a place do something like this. Regina nails need some major renovations: proper spa chairs that can actually massage you and proper polish dryers for your feet. The pedicure was $ 22 by the way, not $ 20.

Super pedicure! Relaxing, comfortable and warm salon. They have luxury spa chairs and after 40 minutes I am leaving with fabulous painted toes and happy feet!

Always get a great mani/​pedi and it’s never busy. Decent prices which are hard to come by in seattle and the couple that run it are very sweet.

The negatives far outweigh the positives for this salon:
(-)
–Horrible décor. They are stuck in the 1990’s with a huge old boom box, with poor sound quality as well as a T. V with rabbit ears. Honestly it was gross in there.
–There are only two people working (a woman and man) who switch off between you and other customers. This process makes for a choppy experience and a lot of unnecessary waiting. My shellac manicure took about an hour and 15 minutes…
–The guy who applied location to my hand jackrabbited the massage. It was way too fast & too sloppy; subsequently not at all a relaxing experience like I’d come in for.
–They changed the price of the shellac manicure right in the middle of the service. Telling me it would be more $ to take off my old shellac, since I didn’t get it applied with them.
–They refused to give someone shellac acrylic nails (when she had already sat down for her service) and said «oh you come back next time and we will do it.»
(+)
+ My nails do look nice.
I certainly will NEVER be back and would advise you to avoid this rundown salon with poor service.

Great manicures and pedicures. The couple who runs the shop are lovely. My largest complaint are up the lack of colors when it come to shellac and they charge $ 5 more for 2 nails to be a different color — which I have never seen at the numerous salons I have frequented over the past year trying to find my nail heaven. I’ll be back but only if I can’t get into others.

The shop may be cramped, and fixtures may appear a little dusty, but the pair who run the place are friendly and gave me a great Shellac manicure. The only off-​putting thing is that the husband and wife (?) operate in a bit of a tag-​team fashion: they’ll both switch between clients depending on what stage of the manicure you’re in. So while one person might remove your polish, the other will file your nails — back and forth until you’re set to go. It’s kind of weird, and I noticed that another first-​time customer in the shop was a bit taken aback by it — but other than that being highly unusual, it didn’t bother me very much.
Other than that, it was a good value for the price. I’d go back.

I have been to this place twice now and have been very, very pleased with the result, service and price. It’s great that this place is open 7 days a week.
1^st; I went in and got a new set (acrylic). I told her I would like short and after she trimmed the tips I mentioned that I would like to keep them as flat as possible. She listened and applied my requests exactly. She kept the tip squared & rounded the corners perfectly. Being that it was the day of Seahawks & 49ner’s playoff game I decided to get a design. I went with getting my tips done; half green and half blue (horizontally). She did it by hand and they came out so great!
On the Friday before my Seahawks won the Superbowl — I decided to get my nails; a fill (acrylic) and a design. It was 5 color hand done design at that. Blue in the lower corner to the mid point of my nail at an angle the a line of silver, a line of white and a line of black and the top corner finished with a light/​lime shimmer green. They came out beautiful! I have gotten so many compliments on them it’s wonderful.

I had a great pedicure here earlier today. They did an excellent job of juggling customers allowing plenty of time to soak me feet and relax into the massage chair. I went home with smooth feet and perfect nails! I will be coming back. Often.

Very nice people! I go there for pedis and they always get me in whenever I call. They do a fairly decent job. For the price it can’t be beat. I’ve tried a few other places in West Seattle but this is close to my house and they are the friendliest.

This place is great! They do a nice pedicure, are very polite and sweet, and make an effort to fit you in. Plus, a pedicure is only 20 bucks. This is by far my favorite nail place in West Seattle, and I have tried a bunch of them.

I love Regina Nails — Best Nail Salon in the Northwest.
I love my shellac manicures and pedicures. I have been to many nail salons and have never been as happy as I am with Regina Nails. I work in Tacoma, live on Vashon Island, but every 3 – 4 weeks, I find a reason to be in West Seattle so I can get my nails done at Regina. Why?
1) longest lasting shellac I have gotten anywhere hands down — I get french manicures, so grow out is not an issue, and I can routinely go 3 – 4 weeks between manicures — no chips, no peeling. To me this is incredible and bordering on miraculous considering how hard I am on my nails.
2) shellac manicure + pedicure for $ 45! Practically free
3) Rose and Ryan are sweet & wonderful, remember my name and my preferences, and always find room to fit me in.
If you love getting your nails done and having them done perfectly, I suggest you try Regina Nails!

I love them! I love them! I love them!
I am super particular about my manicures, and Regina has recently become my favorite place for acrylics and shellac. Since I haven’t gone for a regular mani-​pedi here yet, Hoa still holds that top honor, but maybe not for long…
I hate my natural nails (short, brittle, blah) so I started getting acrylics about 6 months ago. I’d done it before way back when, and was never quite into the way they looked – too thick, too long, too fake-​looking. I was wary when I joined a friend at Regina about 6 months ago, but I am so glad I did! Rose did an incredible job and made my hands look exactly the way I like them – I don’t look like I have acrylics… just gorgeous, perfectly painted, perfectly filed, smooth nails. The best part is, when they do eventually come off, my natural nails are in surprisingly good shape underneath!
$ 25 for a full set is cheap, especially for what you get here. Plus the people are the sweetest!

I went in for a pedicure for the first time at this shop last night. I’m always skeptical the first time in a new place. I tell you, within 5 minutes of putting my feet in that water, I knew this was a good choice. They were very gentle with my sensitive feet. She did the exfolation and massage first, which totally relaxed me. When it was time for the super scrubby pumice part, instead of just going full scub, she gently eased into it, then totally worked my feet. My polish was flawless. I was really, thoroughly impressed.
And it was only $ 20 for a spa pedicure. This is my new pedi spot!

This is definitely my favorite place to get a pedicure. If I had to choose one thing that I really liked about this shop, it would be the cleanliness. Most shops will try to scrub your heal with an already used callus scrubber. NOT REGINA! They always use either brand new tools or tools that you can see have been sitting in new alcohol cleaner. The prices for their services aren’t bad either. If I ever get a gift certificate for someone, I always get it for Regina’s and I’ve never heard anyone complain. This truly is a great place. Oh… And their massage chairs? AMAZING! I find myself sitting there longer than I need to.

Friendly, small shop, they look clean but I didn’t see the lady bring a new set of tools out for my pedicure. I asked if they were a clean set and they said they were, so I guess I’ll take their word for it.
So far she’s cleaning it pretty well.
Yes I’m writing this as I am getting my pedicure. =]
Over​all​.it was okay. yeah. Not going there again.
