Lyly Nail Salon

I don't know about you, but I have found it extremely difficult to find a good nail salon in Seattle. From the cheapest to the most expensive, the salons here never seem to get it right... or if they do, the polish only lasts about 3 hours.\r Lyly Nail Salon is incredible! Its totally worth the drive out to Magnolia. Not only are they friendly and professional, doing my french manicure exactly as I like it, their manicures and pedicures last forever! I mean, literally until you take it off. I even went to Hawaii and kicked around in the sand. Still, two and a half weeks later, my french pedicure was perfectly in place. I will never go to another nail salon.\r And another huge bonus is the pampering massage you get with the service. Maria's mom, Mai, massaged my feet and calves for so long I nearly fell asleep from the heavenly relaxation. It was awesome! I just can't say enough about this place. Pros: Masterful work, Heavenly massage, Great Prices, Friendly and Caring Staff Cons: parking can be difficult sometimes more

I walked out with a pedi, mani, wax and paid $55. This would be two-three times as much in a spa, and Maria and her husband are both excellent. Many times I walk in and get my pedicures. They carry every color of OPI you can imagine as well as a very full magazine rack. Plus, its a neighborhood place so you get to hear all the gossip. Pros: Value, Service, Walk In more

Don't be fooled by the walk-in style of this salon. Maria is really a great manicurist and waxer. I've paid twice the amount at the more hip salons and she really does as good a job as any of them. She's really sweet, too! Pros: Maria, parking, price more
