Apollo Nails and Spa

Was able to walk in and get a shellac manicure right away. The employees at the front were friendly and helpful. The salon was modern and very clean. I loved my manicure and will definitely be back; even if their prices are a little higher than average. I think it’s worth it when you have a stellar experience.

If you want a awesome pedi, this is definitely your place. They do an amazing job!
They’re shellac manicure on the other hand, terrible. They charge you $ 5 to take off your shellac (what!!!) and then it doesn’t last. I’ve tried coming here twice because my normal place is overbooked and I’ve been disappointed more than once. Not to mention, without the extra charge it’s still way overpriced.
Need a pedi?! Go here! Shellac mani?! Don’t waste your money!

Nice place good customer service they even took me after i was 30 min late for my appointment. The sad part is my shellac chipped on my toes and hands after 2 days then completely peeled off after 4 days. I called to come in and get it touched up but they couldn’t take me. Paid over $ 100 for a mani pedi and it didn’t last.

I chose this place to celebrate a special occasion with a friend from the pictures online. It has a pleasant and relaxed ambiance that I thought we would enjoy. I was very wrong. My friend and I had manicures that turned out not so great. Tracy worked on my friend, she spoke no English and had no idea what my friend wanted (simple French tip with silver glitter). Due to not understanding it wasn’t done properly and her nails chipped within 5 hours. I had Kelly, who also didn’t understand English. To avoid any confusion I told her just to do a French tip. Please note: these women are NOT nail technicians. They do not know anything more than just nail basics, don’t help you with designs and work as fast as they can. This location does not have a book or samples. I ordered an additional hand massage which was nice. Other Unilocal reviewers mention they will sometimes massage your shoulders. Not true. Next time I will go somewhere else to someone more experienced and who can understand my requests!

My usual place for a mani pedi! On my very first visit I was super impressed and everything was perfect. My other visits were ok, depending on who you get. Overall, I really like the way they run things and their style.

Wow, Apollo where have you been? this place is awesome!
My manager took a few of us to get pedis down (got a huge deadline project done so it was a nice reward for our hard work) and this place is awesome. Its not your average nail salon. Its pretty big, nice lighting, art work, WOW. Their pedi-​chairs are awesome. Who doesn’t love a massage chair? They don’t seem like a in rush where some places that I’ve gone to seem to rush to get more people done. THIS PLACE NEEDS AN APPOINTMENT. just fyi. but glad we did because they were nice, gave a great long foot massage and did a great job. It is a bit on the pricier end but worth it. I will come back to get a mani as well.

This place is the Mack daddy of pedis. I made an appointment (super important that you do too, they are always so slammed) and I sat down promptly when my appointment started with Tara.
Everyone in the whole place is in a clean uniform coat, this looked awesome! Each service comes with a new sealed packet of tools and files that they use on you, I would absolutely pay for this every time!
My pedicure started, each tiny detail of my feet were carefully taken care of (to the tune of 40 minutes) I got a scrub, a mask and a lotion massage. HEAVEN. It is so hard to find a place that cares about doing a good job in the world of quick fast and in a hurry to move onto the next. I was totally pampered and Tara was absolutely excellent. She was friendly and kept checking in with me to make sure I was relaxed and enjoying my service. Where else do you get this treatment?
I would post a picture of my masterpiece feet, but I’ll spare you the gory details. Just take my word for it! Try it!!!

I came here with 6 friends to start off my bachelor party. Apollo Nails allowed us to schedule a group party and even had mimosas and treats waiting for us when we arrive! (You have to bring a banquet permit for this.) We were able to all sit next to each other and visit and the quality of my pedicure and shellac manicure were great. I would definitely recommend Apollo Nails for anyone who wants to have a fun relaxing day with a group.

Great! Reasonable prices, very clean and spa-​esque, friendly staff and professional service. Only thing is parking in QA is tricky. Best inexpensive nail salon I’ve visited in Seattle. I’ll be back.

I debated between 3 and 4 stars for this review. My esthetician was very friendly and skilled. I’ve been getting waxed for years and it was among the more painless appointments I had.
That being said, I was disappointed with what I got for the price I paid. I know I’m new to the area and prices are generally higher in here in Seattle, however, I paid $ 50 for an extended bikini and less hair was removed than a normal bikini from salons where I’m from. If this is an extended bikini, I can’t imagine what a regular bikini wax is like. Also, it was a little weird that the esthetician remained in the room while I dressed and undressed. I’m accustomed to a little more privacy than that.
So while I really liked my esthetician and thought the place was clean and relaxing, I will be trying another salon for my waxing needs, where the price is more reasonable, and I feel like I get my money’s worth.

Very nice atmosphere.
Definitely ask for a member points card! they didn’t offer it to me so I missed out on 190 points:(and when I went back the second time and overheard someone ask about it, I got mine for that day but they said they don’t back date points. bummer.
Insist on paying before they put on your color so you don’t have to nick your nails, don’t know why they don’t make this standard practice like my previous experience in pro salons.
My first visit was a facial, mani pedi and you get an upper lip or brow wax (princess package) a good deal. I asked if I could switch out the wax option to do underarms which they were fine with on the phone, said it’d be an extra $ 8; but I had to catch it at the check out because they charged he additional $ 20 at first, but we’re fine to reduce it as quoted.
Holly is incredible, super nice and did a great job on my facial– relaxing, great smelling products and I felt and looked dewy and fresh after.
The nails are good, best Seattle mani so far but I had dark blue gel the first time and they didn’t get it all off so I had some dark spots and under my red shellac.
Thiis time I had shellac taken off ($ 5) and regular OPI put on (spa mani $ 19) a bit pricey. My nails got smudged when paying and they were happy to fix but it looks chunky and dented which I noticed after sitting with the dryer a few minutes. I’m sure if I had asked them again they would have but I just let it go.
All in all it’s a nice experience but with it’s flaws — both times I had rough spots on the tips and just wasn’t perfect which at this price point I expected.

Great customer service! I am now a loyal customer. Poor customer service and quality of nail work from the pedicurist but excellent recovery from the manager.
I came for a toenail polish change at 5pm on a Monday. The pedicurist messed up on the polish, I politely asked her to redo them, she threw a silent tantrum, giving me attitude and temper. While sitting in that chair i was thinking, «look lady, I know you’re tired, it’s 5pm, almost time to go home, and I’m darn tired too from my day, I am here to relax, but instead I feel so upset I want to walk out!» I later told the gal at the front desk I wasn’t happy with the pedicurist, the gal apologized and said she won’t charge me this time. I instantly felt appreciated!
Thank you for trying to turn a negative experience around. I was so happy I told all my coworkers about this. I will be sure to avoid getting work done by this specific pedicurist. However, I will definitely come back for future service. Keep up the great work managers at Apollo!

I was blown away when I was contacted by the owner and offered a free re-​do of my shallac mani. Yes please! So appreciated and I gladly accepted. The girl I had was super sweet and she did a perfect application of my polish and she added cuticle oil this time too which made me happy. My nails are still completely pristine a week later and I couldn’t be happier! I will be sure to return to this salon whenever I feel like treating myself. I would give them a full 5-​stars if the price was a tad bit lower, but I think the ultra-​swank atmosphere added in makes it worth the price when you feel like splurging.
Thanks Johnny! I truly appreciate you reaching out and making me an official fan. :o)

My girlfriend Stephanie introduced me to this place a a while ago, and I have been hooked ever since! They have a very peaceful atmosphere, and they have some of the best massaging chairs in town. I get their spa shellac pedicure every time. Kelly is who I normally schedule with, but I have rotated through their staff, and they are all very good at what they do! My favorite part is their 4 part leg/​foot treatments. 1. Sugar scrub 2. Clay masque 3. Steam towel 4. Leg massage.
I suggest that you download their Apollo Spa app (free) and you can schedule your appointment anytime – I have yet to have encounter any difficulties scheduling this way. I do believe that they take walk-in’s too.

My sis & I stopped by here for a much needed pedi before my trip to the Bahamas.
We picked this place since it’s her neighborhood and she had a gift card there.
My immediate reaction is that it was a really nice place. Which also equaled really expensive. My pedicure was $ 32 with nothing fancy (no french, etc).
The service itself was good although at one point the technician cut me while filing and she didn’t stop. I had to scream out for her to stop for her to hesitate on continuing to rub my poor toe raw.
I opted to get a eyebrow wax while I was there since I already was there. The wax itself was great but the shift between the pedicure & the wax itself was odd.
The pedicure tech put me back into my brand new $ 100 Tommy Bahama flip flops and told me I’d have to walk to the waxing area to get completed. The issue was there was oil all over my feet from the pedicure and all I could think of is that it was ruining my brand new soles.
To boot, when I got off the table from being waxed, my feet had dripped oil all over the white sanitary sheet and soaked it through.
My total tab was $ 50 for both the wax & the nails which seemed a little too spendy for my taste. It was definitely packed though including a lot of men that I am not used to seeing at salons like this.

Nice music, great atmosphere. However, the nail technician I got wasn’t very good. I think it might’ve been her first time painting nails because I’ve never seen the same technique as the one she was using. The nail polish wasn’t even and blotchy in some spots. She also kept getting nail polish on my skin. I think I could’ve done better myself. Also, it’s funny how they pull out packets of instruments out of a UV light machine! I doubt they even keep them in there long and even if they do they should be using an autoclave to sterilize the instruments properly (with heat). UV light won’t do the job so don’t be fooled. They need to be more educated on how to properly sterilize instruments before they infect anyone with fungus. Overall, it’s not worth the price, go elsewhere.

A wonderful salon in Seattle!
We came here on the weekend of Thanksgiving and it was pretty busy, but they were still taking walk-​ins and the service was spot-​on. The salon is nicely decorated and clean with new equipment and furnishings. The pedicure chairs are bunched into groups of two throughout the salon, so it’s a great place to take a girlfriend.
I took my sister here for her baby shower and we both loved it. The ladies who did our nails (we got pedicures) did a superb job and made us feel comfortable the entire time — even when our nails were drying, we didn’t feel rushed to leave the salon.
The pedicure was $ 32 per person, which was on the steeper side (compared to Portland), but they did a nice job and the experience was very pleasant.

I loved this place! Yes, it’s maybe a bit more expensive than your run-​of-​the-​mill nail place ($ 32 for a pedicure) but not terribly overpriced or anything. We had a 1pm appointment but arrived about fifteen minutes early, and they were happy to fit us in right away.
The place seems really clean — always important — and the women doing our nails were very nice. The pedicure is definitely what I’d call a spa experience: massage chairs, foot massages, lotion, salt scrub, warn towels. Definitely nice and relaxing.

This place is so good, I almost hate to write a raving review in fear it will become more busy. The service Apollo Nails delivers every time I go is nothing but exceptional. It is incredible clean & all of the staff is friendly. I have recommended Apollo Nail salon to a couple of people now & they have had nothing but race reviews after their own visits.
And you can book your appointments online! Huge perk!

Pros:
— Able to get a last minute appointment on a Saturday morning.
— Clean facility.
— Good selection of polishes.
Cons:
— For a $ 50 mani/​pedi, it’s disappointing to see huge chips in the polish after less than 48 hours.
