I would agree with most of what has been said about Frenchy's, they do have some evil women that are less than gentle when dealing with you, however Koko is a wonderful manicurist...

Great party! 6/25/2010

As a long time client of frenchy's, I knew it would be the perfect place to take my bridal party to get all our nails done. I was not disappointed! The booking was easy and they were very accommodating when we had to make a few last minute changes to our services. We got to bring our own champagne and relax as we all got to sit next to each other and get pedicures. I love the new decor and as always our services were the best in town. I would highly recommend Frenchy's for any party or even to get a few hours of relaxing during the week. Pros: nice service from front desk to pedicurist. more

Pedi Awesome 11/4/2009

This salon is a fun spot and oh so relaxing. The pedicures are out of this world. You must upgrade to the paraffin dip. Everyone there is very attentive from the front desk girls to the service providers. While not the cheapest, it?s very reasonable considering the overall experience and durability of the pedis. I love the trinkets and treasures. Scored some CUTE earrings - cuteness. Pros: Pedicure and service can't be beat more

Best in Seattle 11/3/2009

After living out of the area for two years, I have returned to Seattle and to Frenchy's. Last week, I came in for my first pedicure and facial. The salon has been updated - new paint, furniture, carpeting - lovely, very clean. The shabby sheek look is gone. Kudos to the owners! As always, my pedicure was the best, as was the facial. Pros: Prices, Staff, Location more

APPALLING 5/28/2009

I was there with some gfriends and had a mani. when I went to the sink to wash my hands there was a big toe nail on the counter. I am not sure what happened to this place but it has gone downhill. When we sat in the couch area, it to was filthy. There were pieces of cotton and dirty cups everywhere. Frenchy's, it has lost it's lust! Cons: Front desk rude, overrated more

avoid at all costs 5/14/2009

Basicly I had a mani and pedi- I went right home and took off the mani and re-did it myself! Too chatty with each other instead of paying attention to customers- Parking is horrid! AVOID! Pros: crowded- rude- poor service Cons: worst mani ever! more

Best Brazilian in Town 11/26/2008

Getting a Brazilian is my least favorite thing to do, but Janetta makes the experience nearly painless. It was over so fast. I couldn?t believe it! I was in and out in 12 minutes. It was quick and thorough like every Brazilian wax should be. If you must get a Brazilian go see Janetta! She is hands down the best! Pros: Quick and thorough waxing services, nice staff Cons: can be noisy with large parties more

There's nothing quite like Frenchy's! 11/14/2008

I have always loved Frenchy's. Most times I come in by myself for a quick manicure with Leanne or Queen (Leanne does the best little flowers on my thumbs!) and facial with Camilla. Every once in a while I treat myself to a massage and have always liked the technicians that I have been paired with. My favorite part is that I always see someone I know (or want to know!) and usually it's just after one of the makeup girls has taken 10 years off my face with her magic brushes! (I'm a total pushover and always go home with some pretty little package...) One time I treated my mom and sister to pedicures after a death in the family, and the girls treated us so well, we were actually able to take our minds off the stress we had been going through. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Frenchy's because of that day. Try it! Just know that it's not the type of experience you would have anywhere else...it's Frenchy's and it's a bit crazy but it's always fun. Pros: Great prices for the environment and knowledge of staff Cons: I save money on services, and then go crazy and spend a ton on expensive makeup! more

It's still good! 10/27/2008

I treat myself to a Frenchy's pedicure about once a year, usually before a beach vacation, and have been for 6 years. I hadn't been in over a year and booked an appointment 6 weeks ago. Last week when looking up the price list I saw the recent bad reviews and had second thoughts. Sounded as if a lot had changed and things had gone downhill. I almost cancelled but decided to keep the appointment and hope for the best. It was just as I remembered it - comfortable, friendly, and GREAT pedicurists! It was a busy Saturday, but I wasn't rushed, received a wonderful pedicure, and am still very happy with their work. Definitely recommended! Pros: Friendly and funny pedicurists Cons: Parking can be a small challenge more

Fun bachelorette party nail salon 8/31/2008

We came to Frenchy's to celebrate before a friends wedding and had a great experience overall. The salon and its staff were very accommodating of our large group (18 people)--very friendly, let everyone pay seperately, very organized. Also the location is a fun and cozy place for a group of friends, even those who had to wait for their mani/pedis had a great time lounging on the salon's cozy couches, sipping tea, eating chocolates and reading magazines. Very cute and fun place. Also, the salon is set up so that people can sit next to each other and chat while they get their nails done, something our group really appreciated. A couple of the girls felt their manicurist was too rushed and not careful/meticulous enough with their manicures and pedicures, but many of us had great manicurists who did a very good job. Reccomended for your next bachelorette party/bday party or any group event. Pros: ambience, accommodation of large groups Cons: qualiy of service is varies, depends which manicurist you get. some are great, some were not as meticulous more

Worst Service - product ruined my shoes! 6/10/2008

The product that Frenchie's used for my pedicure ruined my very expensive flip flops - when I called to complain, the manager told me that it wasn't their fault, it wasn't their problem. When I asked them what they could do for me to rectify the situation, I was basically told to try and retturn my shoes where I purchased them. more

Awful service. Awful manicure. 6/8/2008

I went with a group of girlfriends to Frenchy?s to get manicures and it was the low spot in an otherwise great day. The manicure was rushed and the quality was horrid! The technician was rude and rushed through the manicure: neglecting to remove the wax from my hands after the paraffin dip and when she painted my nails she missed parts. The best part is that they have you hold your hands in front of a fan to dry them. Hmmm what happens to nail polish when you apply forced air? A terrible manicure with a rippled wind tunnel finish. This place is overpriced ($25 for the manicure) and under quality, avoid it all costs. more

Dirty. 5/27/2008

Nail clippings and skin fragments all over the carpet in the pedicure area. This is not the place to go for a $50 pedicure. The chair are comfy, but it's hard to relax while staring at toenails embedded in the carpet. Pros: Location. Cons: Dirty, little parking, expensive for the terrible, dirty treatment. more

Overrated 5/23/2008

I simply don't understand why the raves. Before my wedding I was treated to a day with some of the bridesmaids. Despite an appointment, we had to wait because they had fallen behind. Further, they tried to make up time by rushing through our services (not cheap!). My nails were not even dry and I had to be rushed for the pedicure. As a result my nails had gotten some air bubbles from the speed at which the manicurist was trying to work. Lastly, what's up with faded colors and old chairs? It's so loud and busy and not at all relaxing. I just don't get the hype. For the same price, check out the amazing salons on the Eastside, especially Aviva Holistic Skin Spa. Pros: Funny pedicurists Cons: Quality of service suffers with volume of customers more

Unfriendly Staff! 5/12/2008

I went to Frenchy's to get a pedicure before Mother's Day because I'd been given a gift certificate. I was also a new mom, looking forward to some time alone. While I waited for my pedicurist, I noted all the signs advertising ""mother's day specials"" and ""time with mom"". While I had my pedicure, my mom was out and about in the neighborhood with my 7-week-old baby. She returned when I was finished, and as we were getting ready to leave, he started-- as babies are prone to do-- to fuss a little. We were trying to stay out of the way of the crowded entrance. A few minutes after he started fussing, a woman came out of a room nearby and said in such a rude voice, ""I'm trying to give a facial in here!"" I almost didn't know what to say-- I was so stunned by her rudeness. I was also struck by the contradiction-- the entrance was so crowded and noisy, I don't know how anyone could relax. When I told my husband about what happened, he decided to call Frenchy's and let them know of my unpleasant experience. He was very polite and said if he'd been a manager there he would like to know. The part that really gets me is that the manager told him a customer had complained about a crying baby earlier that day and that they are ""not a child-friendly establishment"" as indicated by a sign on the door and on their website. My husband suggested they increase the visibility of their signage (I remember seeing no such sign in the store), and perhaps not advertise Mother's Day specials so strongly if they weren't child-friendly (how can you be mother-friendly if you aren't child-friendly?). Go to their website and see if you see anywhere anything posted about children or babies-- I certainly didn't. While my pedicure was fine, it wasn't worth the curt, defensive, and poor customer service I received. Even if they send me a gift certificate (which the manager offered to do), I won't go back, nor would I recommend this place to anyone. Pros: Decent pedicure...maybe? Cons: Rude staff, crowded and noisy, poor customer service more

Good Customer Service 5/5/2008

I would highly recommend Frenchy's for their customer service. I didn't like the look of my silk nails, but they were more than accomodating when I told them I wasn't satisfied. I went back and had a set of gel nails put on and they are beautiful! Thank you! Pros: customer service, great gel nails, fun store Cons: a little pricey, but probably worth it more

TERRIBLE silk nails 4/23/2008

I had a set of silk nails done at Frenchy's on Monday and they couldn't be worse. Queen is the only person that does silks there and she wasn't very pleasant. The nails look fine from far away, but up close they are a disaster. The tips she put on are VERY obvious. They were not filed down smoothly and it caused a large lump where the tips start. The silk wasn't dry when she started painting them, so there is a little fabric pattern all over my nails. Looks like I pressed them all over my clothes and put a pattern in them. The ends are filed at funny angles. I had to go home and try to fix them myself. I mentioned this to her, and her response was ""no, they look very natural!"" It was ridiculous. On top of all that, she used clear tips instead of white tips, so she had to use colored polish instead of french b/c they looked terrible, even she stated this. Not acceptable! I will never return there for silk nails. They are awful!!! Pros: cute boutique Cons: terrible silk nails, very expensive more

Speedy, accommodating manicure service 3/16/2008

I was idly considering getting a manicure/pedicure on a Sunday afternoon, and got a recommendation from a friend about Frenchy's. I called and they were able to fit in the manicure, so my wife and I packed up our 7 mo. old and walked over. The decor is faux Greek, and the air hung a little thicker than I'd like with smells of perfume, but that's pretty par for the course. They checked me in, offered me a glass of water, and my wife and kid ensconced themselves on the plump sofas in the waiting section. The manicurist came quickly, and I got a great job on my nails. They include the paraffin bath for men in the ""Classic manicure"" since there's no gloss application, so I got in on the cheap too. Plus, even though the job was on par with some of the best I've had, it was done in very short order, without me ever feeling rushed. Since having started learning to climb, this is the best my hands have felt in a long time. I look forward to checking out their pedicures in the future. Pros: Hours, speed. Cons: A little perfume-y. more

Frenchy's was not clean, friendly or reasonable for the hype they get! 10/3/2007

Frenchy's was referred to us for manicures and pedicures. I had the pedicure and it was a rude awakening. You are shown a menu of pedi services and then the pedicure lady will tell you to pay only two dollars more for the top of the line Pedicure the ""LULU"". The first shock was how unclean the sitting and work area was. There were toe nail clippings, shed skin and dirty papertowels around my sitting area. The chair was comfortable. The sterilization water looked cloudy and dirty. The tools the pedicurist used were sitting on the counter and I would have no way of telling if they were sanitized or used on the last customer. The pedicurist was kind. The front desk staff is rude to most of the customers that were paying at the time I was there. Will I ever go back, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Pros: Comfortable Pedicure Chairs Cons: Dirty and unclean facility, rude staff, sterilization unknown, parking is terrible, cost is on the high side and it is hard to get an appointment more

Frenchy's Spa?? Will not return! 9/14/2007

I wrote a review re: the mani-pedi my daughter and I received and it has not posted. We were very disappointed with the services, especially my pedicure from the lady who continued to wipe her nose with tissue and not wash her hands. Also cutting into the quick on my toes while trimming my nails. I know for a fact my daughter will not return, nor will I , since I was visiting from Palm Springs, CA and this was a gift for my birthday in August. Pros: My manicure was OK Cons: Parking, pedicure and cleanliness and non friendly staff at front, high prices. more

Not Recommended 7/5/2007

I check out quite a few nail places to find the right one for me. I had a pedicure here about a month ago and I was disappointed in their cleanliness. The nail tech used a used file on my toes. The tools she used came from a blue solution that looked dirty. I wanted to get up and leave but I thought that would be rude. I even saw the lady next to mine literally use the same stuff she used on her previous client on the one that sat down after I did. The only good thing about this place was their massage. I even called the manager to complain but that didn't help. Pros: massage, tons of product Cons: not clean, parking, affordable more
