4Ever Nails

This place is so great. They always get me in right away as a walk-​in & are super polite, gentle & courteous. So much better than Amy’s.

Great mani pedi. Got the shellack on my nail so it was 55 $ for both. Quick service, great leg rub. I will be back

Is there less than a one star rating? I started w a pedi which was ok then to the owner who I was thinking could double for an interrogator in Vietnam military era movies started my new set, which his assistant insistently coerced me into shellac!
Got ready to pay and my debit card, in my phone pocket was nowhere to be found! I know I had it up until washing my hands. Ended up having to leave my phone there overnight for collateral and come back with cash as, of course it was after 6p when my bank is closed.
Missed a girls night out for all this foolishness and reporting my card as stolen to the bank.
Went back today to pay and collect my phone and he had the balls to LAUGH at me! He wasn’t laughing when I took a picture of his storefront!
NEVER again 4 SURE!!!

Worst manicure /​pedicure I’ve ever had. I’m pretty sure they water down old polish with acetone, instead of replacing with new polish, which results in a gummy product that never dries hard.
My manicure is full of air bubbles, uneven and lumpy. My pedicure is all over my toes, and it is already coming off (had them done this morning)!
I’m so mad that I actually paid for this. My bad, for not being more assertive on the spot. The only reason they get two stars is because the manager was friendly and seemed to be the only one who gave a flying f– — about his job.
I would paint my own nails with whiteout before I’d come back here.

MORE LIKE 4 NEVER.
The worst feeling ever is when you’re sitting captive in the nail salon chair and you realize that you’re nails are going to look like complete trash and you STILL HAVE to wait silently and STILL have to pay for it in the end. It’s like watching a train wreck.
I know a lot of ladies like to complain that nail techs don’t speak english, or the place is dirty, or the massage wasn’t long enough but let’s start with this:
Problem #1: Nail technicians aren’t skilled at their trade. I pay money for my nails to get done so they look nice. It’s really a shame when a nail salon ’ s technicians are not skilled enough to AT THE VERY LEAST make your nails look nice… my pedicure was gloppy and sloppy and i have paint all over my toes… I could do that myself. I don’t need to pay $ 30 for that.
My french tip shellac is see through… as in the white tip has 1 layer of paint… and the nail bed was not even painted!!! They just put a top coat afterward.
Problem #2: rushed experience. While I was getting a pedicure another technician started working on my manicure. Obviously it’s too busy when this happens. She did not soak my fingers long enough and then proceeded to pick at my cuticles. OUCH. I’m not in a rush, so you shouldn’t be either.
Problem#3: dirty environment, I did not see an
y tools get sterilized. At other places you can physically see them opening sterilized packs of tools. Not here. I hope I don’t get an infection.
I WILL NOT BE RETURNING. I PAID $ 60 FOR NOTHING.
BIG FAT FAIL 4 EVER NAIL…

This place sucks. The worst service ever! I went in there for my daughters bday and they made her toe bleed using an acrylic nail file machine. … why?! I got a manicure and was the worst, sloppy job ever done. she didn’t clean up her mess, I had to tell her to clean it up. Ugh! Waste of time and money!

Great staff, awesome deals! For the most part I have been highly satisfied with waxings and nails, but there were a few minor misses (hence 4 stars)

I’m confused about all the negative reviews. Maybe I’m not that picky, but this place rocked my socks off.
My shellac manicure has already lasted 2 weeks. I decided to go in for a pedi and it was amazing. Talk about a serious massage. I got a flower on my toe also, and it was fancy (not your typical 5 dots and a center gem). She told me she’d draw a different flower each time.
Since my pedi was so great I opted for an eyebrow wax as well and guess what? Another message!!! Face and shoulders.
The technician kept telling me to just relax and enjoy myself. She was very sweet.
When it was all done, the bill was only $ 40 for both services.
I will be back, no doubt… Probably next week if this shellac ever fails.

I was desperate for acrylics on the fourth of July because I had ripped all of mine off. My favorite nail salon was closed, so I had no choice but to stop in at 4Ever Nails.
My experience here was absolutely horrible. I not only didn’t feel respected, but my service was rushed and sloppy. The establishment was dirty. My nail technician kept continuously telling me «you come back next time». Ok??? Is that their way of trying to satisfy their customer?
It was extremely obvious that the glue wasn’t holding the base of the nail on, but my technician disregarded the issue and continued to hurry through my acrylics. I was mortified, but felt too uncomfortable to voice my concern.
When all was said and done, my nails looked terrible. They didn’t use the correct size acrylic base, leaving my nails exposed and they were bubbling up from the nail bed due to not being glued on correctly.
After leaving 4Ever Nails, I got into my car, and immediately wrote a Unilocal quick tip. I was mortified beyond comprehension!
I wouldn’t ever recommend 4Ever Nails to any of my friends and family. I truly hope the management or owner checks the Unilocal reviews and acts accordingly based on the credible feedback of Unilocal members.

This was my first visit to 4 Ever Nails and, to be quite honest, it was one of the better experiences I’ve had at a nail salon. From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed — very clean, friendly staff (Sam literally greeted me at the door with a smile). I picked out my color (they have a great selection), got comfortable in my chair and, from the moment I slipped my feet into that warm, bubbling water, I felt completely and utterly relaxed. Sam did my pedicure — a lovely pink — and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She. Is. Absolutely. Fantastic.
I will definitely be back.

Would give this place zero stars if I could, before it changed owners during the summer maybe I would have given it a 4 star review… I had been going for over 2 years and I’m sad to say its now horribly ran. The new owner is a b.i.t.c.h. and totally hacked up my nails and left me bleeding and my acrylics uneven. It’s super busy (although I have no idea why) and all the girls some of which have been there for awhile seem unhappy. Most likely due to the new owners. I will NOT be going back!

I’ve only been in Woodinville for about a year and was hoping this place would be goodAND convenient. That was far too much to hope for. If all you want is a typical nail place with white walls, 80’s photos of posed nails and feet, crappy worn out pedicure chairs and talentless people, by all means go.
The first time I went I got shellac manicure and pedicure. The shellac on my nails started peeling off within a few days & made me decide I would switch back to acrylic nails. The next time I went in to get a full set and pedi. They told me they had plenty of time, though it was obvious as I was getting my nails done that they all couldn’t wait to go home. The results of my nails were nails that were lifting terribly by the end of the first week after. I’ve had acrylic’s enough over the years to know that is very unacceptable! They were also not shaped evenly and had terribly thick acrylic. That was the deal breaker for me. I will not be back and have found a wonderful place in Woodinville (check my other reviews to find where).

I used to live near Woodinville and would go to 4ever Nails on a regular basis when Ben and Tiffany first started out. After I moved away it was not as convenient, so I started going someplace else. Last week I was in Woodinville and had a pedicure there as they used to be really good. I was very disappointed. The manicurist did a terrible job painting my nails — she didn’t get close to the cuticle and it looked as though I had a week of grow out along with slopping painting on the sides. The other thing I was horrified by was that the manicurist doing the gal next to me pulled out a razor shaver, said it was illegal started using it on her client and said she only does this with clients she knows! Also FYI — they no longer take credit cards and have installed an ATM machine in the salon. Sorry Ben and Tiff, I am not coming back.

I love my nails every time I come out of there!
The gals are really nice. Take cash, they kinda gripe if you charge on cc

I see Tiffany for my Gel Pink & White nails and she does a fantastic job!
My nails look fabulous for weeks and I’ve never had a problem with lifting.
I’ve had several great pedicures– nice, comfortable, massaging chairs. I’ve had eyebrow waxing on a couple occasions — wax temperature is just right, nice shaping.
Great pricing on all services.

Great service — brought my niece for a new set of nails and got a mani-​pedi for myself. The staff isn’t very interactive, but they were efficient and the nails look great.

This is the best place to get beautified on the cheap! A mani/​pedi is only $ 42 or just $ 28 for a pedicure by itself. Brow waxing is only $ 10. Walk-​ins are welcome and served quickly and the staff is friendly and very thorough. They also give the longest, nicest foot-​and-​leg massages I’ve ever had during a pedicure. This is also a good place to bring your boyfriend for a pedicure, as the staff are easygoing and helpful to newbies. And no worries about cleanliness… I’ve seen them clean up after each customer, and they’re diligent about scrubbing and disinfecting everything. They are cash only, so come prepared. There’s a no-​surcharge BECU cash machine across the street.

My girlfriends (and even our mothers) and I have been visiting 4-​Ever Nails in Woodinville, which is directly next to Regis and Target, for years! I absolutely love the staff. Ben and Tiffany have been working there forever. Their daughter Ellie is absolutely precious. I’ve developed such a good relationship with the staff that I was invited to one of the technician’s weddings.
Relationships aside, I have been coming to 4-​Ever Nails for years now. I have never had any sort of infection or fungus… they’re very serious about keeping things sanitary. My mother is a dental hygienist and she’s very anal about sterilization, and she visits 4-​Ever nails at least on a monthly basis. I am in there every 10 – 14 days. Either for a fill, a pedicure, or just to accompany a girlfriend while she has something done.
As long as you visit the same technician each time for a fill, your fill will turn out flawless.
I do not agree with the review written by cat b. about 4-​Ever Nails. I am very picky about my nails, and never have any problems. :)

I’m horrified at the lack of talent at this place. I went for a manicure-​pedicure about two months ago, and it was average. There were only two technicians there, and it was late on a Sunday. Today, there were about six technicians, and the place was packed. It was snowing outside, and I think everyone was freaking out – trying to act calm, but thinking about all those great Seattle drivers who lose their minds and abandon their cars in the middle of the road at the sight of a single snowflake.
I’d like to think this was the problem today, but there’s just no excuse for the CRAP job… I came home and immediately removed the polish, after grumbling at myself about how ugly my nails looked during the entire car ride home.
Where do I begin? I had medium white tips, and they’d grown a bit too long for my taste. I hate seeing the gap between the acrylic and the bare nail below… so I’m obsessive about getting fills. Once I notice I need one, I cannot be stopped. I called for an appointment, and they accommodated. Good! The other places were booked for the next two to three hours. This was the first warning sign. I blocked it.
I explained to the young technician – I wanted them shortened and to look as thin and natural as possible. That’s tough to do with white tips, but my new set had grown out enough that the white stripe was finally starting to look not-​too-​wide anymore. Basically, just shorten them with the same shape, and sculpt them so they look thin at the tips.
The tech suggested airbrush to create a deeper curve in the smile line. I like that look, but you also have to be REALLY good with an airbrush to do it well. I didn’t think that she’d suggest something she couldn’t handle.
She prepped my nails with the drill and while she wasn’t rough, the drill bit slipped onto my cuticles several times. Second bad sign. She applied the acrylic in a very, very thin layer. I thought she was doing a primer coat of some kind, but then she moved immediately to shortening and buffing. Seriously – you can see the line between the old acrylic and the nearly invisible thin layer of the new acrylic she applied today. I’ve never seen that before – and it is UGLY. Defeats the entire purpose of the fill process.
She spent very little time sculpting the nail, so they look a little thick. My biggest gripe? They’re all different lengths. If they were long, I’d have some room to fix them myself. No… they are so short now, barely past my fingertips. I had no choice but to even the tips (shape) out – I couldn’t fix the length without looking like a nail-​biter.
I was anxious to get home, so I looked at them before washing, and they looked OK. I asked her to straighten out a couple of the CROOKED tips, and she did… she was pleasant about it, which is great, but she was totally oblivious. Any normal tech would have rechecked every nail.
Airbrush time. She made some of the worst, shaky, uneven smile lines I’ve ever seen. I’m pretty sure that I could have used the airbrush better, with my left hand. My right hand looked OK, only a few errors, but my left hand looked ridiculous. I didn’t know there were so many ways to botch a smile line. I asked her to fix some of them, but… the person who made the mistakes can’t necessarily correct them.
Polish. She used two coats of clear, using the very last bit of an essie polish jar. Yep, you guessed it, the gooey, sticky thick gunk at the bottom, that I never use. You thin it out or toss it. Not here! She applied two obscenely thick coats (with bubbles!) and sent me on my way.
$ 22 + 5 = $ 27 for the worst fill EVER. I couldn’t believe it. I could have purchased the materials and done it better myself. No joke. I’ll never go back. Good thing I can do my own nails well – I removed the heinous airbrush, bubbly polish, and just applied a light pink – which looks great. Short, but they’re properly shaped and painted now – why was that so hard???
