Hi Tek Nails

We’ve been going here for years but fed up with them closing early… Second time in a month they’ve closed at least 1−½ hours early on Sunday. Same time we always go. They just lost two customers…

my friend and I had a good experience here. We got pedicures, reasonable wait time. Both ladies were friendly and did a good job. $ 23 for the basic pedi. my only complaint, and maybe this is me being picky, is they carried on a conversation almost the entire time in their language. Shop could use some updating, but didn’t feel dirty.

The ladies are rude rude rude. They literally slapped my hand and told me to relax which made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, and even harder to relax. It really sucked. Plus it was a long wait time. We didn’t have an appointment so I understood. But they made me feel like they were rushing me out for a half effort manicure. I will not be going back.

I have always been satisfied with their nail service. They have some nice touches like parafin wax and beverages. Only issue is that some of the ladies can be grumpy sometimes.

I was in the mood to get my nails done and saw this place as I was driving by. After waiting for 30 min, I finally had someone working on my nails.
Pros: lots of Shellac choices, lots of beverage choices (free), lots of different smelling lotions/​oils that they use on you.
Cons: wait time — they said «a few minutes» — turned out to be 35 min
Since no one likes to waste their time, I’ll probably not return. They got the job done but there’s nothing that makes me want to return.
Shellac with Mani (wax treatment too_​= $ 27 (before tip)

I am only giving them two stars instead of one because I know the guy who works there does a great job! He fixed my nails last time. I have been there four times total and this will be my last. The first time I went and got one of the younger ladies and my nails were good. Then I took my sister and she got the guy and I got the old lady and my sisters nails turned out great and mine were so misshapen and the color was so blotchy that I went and got them fixed the next day by the guy who works there. The entire time the older lady harassed me and told me I was the one who had chosen the color etc and it wasn’t her fault that the white was blotchy etc. then today I went back and got her again and again she was super rude muttering under her whole breath the entire time. When I got to the grocery store I inspected my nails and of course none of them are the same. They’re all bumpy and misshapen. Two of my nails didn’t even have a topcoat on them. She made me bleed three times and I told her she was pressing her pinky nail into my finger and it was cutting me and she literally shooed me away. The guy wanted to redo them but I got a refund. I will never be back and don’t recommend you go there either.

I’m always super happy with Richard and Holly. Richard does a great shellac and Holly does an amazing white and pink fill. This place is awesome for consistency. If you want Gene Juarez treatment, go pay their prices. Otherwise, be happy keeping it local and supporting our community

I just got my eyebrows waxed. They are bad enough that I felt obligated to warn others. I have to go home now and try to fix whatever she just did to my eyebrows. Never again.

I haven’t gone here in years but my mom and her friend took me once and we were all supposed to get pedicures. They took my mom and her friend. Then I waited over a half hour while other people were taken who came way after I did until finally my moms friend said something. I’ve had acrylics done here. Their service is terrible. The quality is terrible and its a waste of money. There’s a great place down the street. Don’t waste your money there.

Last Sunday my family was here to get our nails done before my sister’s wedding. When I walked in I was surprised because the place have seem to changed a lot. The last time I was here was four months ago, and it just seem like any normal nails salon I have went to. However, this time it was like «WOW!» due to the big changes they have made. I think they have new owner or something.
We didn’t have appointment, so my sisters, mom, and I just walk-​in. At first the staff greet us nicely and told us to fill out customer services form. That was something new, because I didn’t have to do that before. So we all decide to get a Classic Pedi and Mani. What interesting was we have to pick a scent. So I picked Lavender and Mint. It smell great. The staff also offer us free complimentary drinks and free REFILL. It make me feel like I’m in a high class salon.
After everything went well, we go out to pay, and I was surprised because my sisters and I have 10% discount for being High School students.
I was glad to be here because of the great customer services they provided with my pretty nails. I will recommend this place to my other friends since we have 10% student discount.

I was getting married so I started looking at different nail salons and asked the girl that worked in the tanning salon next door about this one. She told me not to do it… I should have listened. After a tanning apt I went into this salon to make sure they would be able to get me, my bridesmaids and the moms in all at once on the Friday before my big day.
The ladies were very nice and the man that seems to run the place kept telling me he’d give me a deal if we come there. He told me to be there at noon, I told him over and over I had a total of at the least 15 people and a time limit because of the rehearsal dinner. He assured me we’d be taken care of.
Friday came, we walked in and the store was jammed with women all over. They told me they could do three pedicures to start. As we were sitting there waiting for them to take more of us since we had a noon appointment and it was 12:15, I asked a mom who had five teens with her if they had an appointment too. She said yes she did, they scheduled the six of them for noon as well…
Are you kidding? Who does that? Needless to say, half my girls went somewhere else. We were there three hours for six girls…
OH AND! I asked them to do my ring finger in a different color! in the hustle I didn’t realize they did the WRONG HAND altogether! I had to go back to have them fix it and was late for my rehearsal.
Take it from the tanning salon worker, don’t go there.

I was in a time crunch and found this nail salon on Unilocal.i called first to make sure they were open, and could do an american manicure. i had a hair appointment shorty after for a formal event. they said they could get me right in.
they were pretty quick, but that is where the praise stops. after the two initial women confirmed i wanted an american manicure, and had me sit, another woman came over and asked, «you want clear?» … i confirmed again, «american manicure.»
apparently she had never heard of it, because she started to paint my entire nail white. now, i’ve been to nail salons all over the united states since my husband is in the navy and we move somewhat frequently, and i have never had anyone not know what an american manicure was. another technician came over and told her «just the tip!» and she removed it.
what i ended up with was a sloppy french manicure. after they mixed some bottles for the white color of the tip, and finished with a clear coat (instead of the normal translucent red).
i was really bummed because i knew they didn’t have the correct polishes to correct it, and i didn’t have the time to start over. not only that, but i CALLED first, and they said they could do it, so they should have known.
and the kicker, as i was sitting under the uv light drying, i looked next to me to see a huge poster of what else … an american manicure.
besides the fact they didn’t know what they were doing, there was also a woman «marrying» econo size bottles of different brands of polishes and pouring them into smaller bottles, right at the nail station next to me. so i do not trust that the products in the bottles are actually what they say on the label, either.
not a nail salon i’d ever revisit.

So last Saturday I went with my sister to get her hair done for her Senior Prom. Fun times right? NO. The lady that was doing my sister’s updo said that it was going to take at least two hours. Thinking that was ridiculous, I decided to kill time by going next door to Hi Tek Nails.
Let me tell you. I love me some vietnamese ladies! I have been coming to this nail place ever since my parents (godforbid) decided moving to Lake stevens (booooonies 20 miles north of Everett) was going to be a good idea.
They do a great job every time. For 25 bucks, I got a damn good french pedicure and also sit in an amazing massage chair that worked wonders on me. AMAZING.
This is a family owned little place, and you really get a sense of that by being a customer. The ladies that work here are always so sweet to me and really great at what they do. I love it!
I forgot how often I used to come here in High school and am so glad to have been reminded! I’m def. going to make it a point to come back whenever I’m in town! And you should too!
