Marigold Nail Salon - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Miss M: Mimi was amazing! I did a walk in and she helped get my gel nails off and give me the acrylics I wanted. She was so sweet. She gave me the best manicure clean up with what I felt was a Russian manicure with how close she got my cuticles.

1 /5 Ciera Watts: I didnt want to review the quality of the service because the staff seemed friendly enough but staff aside, the quaity of their Gel Manicure is the worst Ive ever had. The gel ($90+ service not including my pedi or tip) has completely LIFTED from one of my nails (meaning it is seperated from the fake nail). This means the tech did not properly apply or prep my nails. Ive never had this happen before and Ive been getting gel nails for over 24 years. I felt uncertain about getting them done because I asked if they could do the shape of my current nails as a fill in (They said no because they didnt have time due to high volume of customers waiting. Mind you I made an appointment and they accepted it over the phone, not sure why they should impact my service if they are overbooked) but I said fine. Then I asked for acrylic (they had already removed the gel from my previous service) and they told me they could only give me gel because it was "previously gel" which Ive never heard before, especially considering that they already removed the gel from my nails. But I said fine as I was in Seattle for a concert and really didnt have time to book another appointment elsewhere. I had the nail tech complete 3 repairs (meaning she took everything off the 3 nails, this includes the thumb in the photo that lifted) and to leave the shape of the rest untouched since they couldnt make them like the rest of my nails. She started on my right hand and began to shape the nails I requested to be untouched. I stopped her from doing this on my left hand when I noticed. Not even my nails that I had them do a fill in on in SEPTEMBER has lifted. The nail set laid by the Seattle tech just a week ago is lifting. I dont understand. I still tipped for the service and truly wasnt going to leave this review but a couple days ago I noticed smudges under my nails to find out that it is becuase its completley seperate from the gel on top. Again, this is a first, I am from Chicago and never had my nails seperate. So I have to speak up. I would have rather been turned down for the service if it couldnt be completed properly. I dont live in Seattle so I cant even get a refund or get them fixed. Oh well. But yes, this be a great salon for natural nails, but not for medium-long acrylics/gel application.

2 /5 Katherine Pope: As soon as the person sat down to do my pedicure I knew they were not very skilled. They didn’t seem to know what they were doing. The person even broke one of my nails! The other staff kept glancing over at them while they worked on several clients which let me know this person was not skilled. The owner did my manicure and she was a bit more skilled but just put globs of hard gel on my nails. Overall overpriced and not skilled at all. Save your money.

5 /5 Christina Babcock: At Marigold you can tell that Ivy is a master of her craft, and that she truly cares about people. She understands my nail needs and always has the best recommendations. I have been going to Marigold since it opened and have only experienced high quality manicures and pedicures there. When I moved away from SLU, I tried other nail places to save on drive time, but quickly returned to Marigold. Ivy has very high standards for the nail technicians she hires at Marigold. I know that no matter who does my nails, I will always end up with great results! The employees at Marigold are up to date on the latest trends, can replicate any nail art requests I have thrown their way, and the salon is clean and hygienic.
