Apollo Nail and Spa

Great job, courteous staff, clean facility. A friend took me there for a mani pedi, I am going back!

I’ve only had pedis at this spot– so this review is only for those toes!
Overall, I’ve had lovely, quick service. I have never had a problem with color selection– I always find a color to match my seasonal mood (although it does take me like 10 minutes, I think I have commitment issues). I usually wait a few minutes, as I am always a walk in, and then get my little piggies soaking in the warm foot bath.
The atmosphere is calming, with LOTS of pedicure stations. I come here with my hubby (no color for his toes, though) and we always get two chairs by each other.
My only issue is their callus removing process. It’s more of a pleasant buff, rather then the olé’ cheese grater. While it feels nice, I leave there with rough feet still. I can understand why they don’t want to use the traditional methods (it’s gross, ok?), but I always pay extra at nail salons to have it done, so usually that makes up for it. Buff me a lil harder, and I’ll be happier.
Overall, it’s a very relaxing treat for me, and I’ll be back soon. They even had a 20% off gift card special for Black Friday, so I definitely jumped on that opportunity and stocked up.

This place is a hit or miss with manicures. 4 out out of the 5 manis has sucked. They do a better a job with pedicures. And I still have not gotten a discount when I show my cac card. Don’t say you have military discount when you don’t even recognize military ID. I’m done going here.

Sucks! All I wanted was a gel french mani. The lady tried to pass off a defective paint job. I made her fix one nail. But, there were 4 other nails that needed to be redone. I had lumps and uneven french tips. She painted over some towel fuzz. She had to have seen it! And she must have chosen to leave it that way… hoping I wouldn’t notice.
She over cut cuticles, I have actual cuts and sore spots on my nails. It’s been a day since; and my fingers still hurt.
Terrible nail job and over priced I feel I was over charged for the work. She kept speaking to the lady next to her in another language. Rude!

First and last time patron. The customer service was that of an understaffed amusement park. My technician was less than impressive… a simple french pedicure seemed beyond her capabilities. I always look forward to a relaxing hour or so receiving a pedicure and was extremely disappointed in the end result and the service at Apollo, Silverdale.

Too much time given for massage like attention rather than attention to nails and feet. Two hours with 20 minute drying time and my nails were smudged and nicked by the time I got in my car. Toes were to have been coral but they turned out to be day-​glow-​flurescent-​Halloween-​orange.
I redid hands and feet the next day. Needed a day just for friends to laugh at toe color.

I really want to like this place, I’ve been there about 5 times for a pedicure. Usually the staff is pretty friendly, today no one was. It felt uncomfortable.
I’ve never been totally satisfied with the pedicure I get there. Reason being they don’t take the time to get all the calluses offmy feet. Other pedicures I’ve had, my feet felt like baby’s skin, not when I have it done there. Today was very disappointing. This will be my last time.

The only reason I retracted a star is because the technician cut my toe nails very round on the end; half-​a star would be a more accurate deduction. As a person who gets ingrown toenails I usually cut them straight across. The nails on my big toes are almost circular.
I couldn’t figure out how to turn the percussion off on the chair so I left it off.
The staff was pleasant and they have lots of room for clientele. I counted 8 manicure tables and at least 12 pedicure chairs. The cost was reasonable, especially because it felt like my massage lasted for 30 minutes which was great. The technician did a good job painting my small toenails. She was very meticulous, a black French tip is not easy task.

Got my nails done for 4^th of July. They looked amazing! And for $ 40 it should right. But not even by the end of the weekend they started chipping on the ends. Here is it a week later than when I got them done and one finger is completely off and the others are starting to peel from the top. I am very dissatisfied, I expected way more for the price. I will never go there again.

I’ve been a customer of Apollo Spa for many years & in those years I’ve had quite a few great experiences & some not so great ones. This last one was definitely one of the worst. I had a Shellac mani. The girl that did my nails was not up to par, first off she jabbed me in the cuticle & under my nail, it hurt pretty bad even after I had left it was sore. She put way too much polish on, it’s too thick & looks off. A few edges were ridged from having to much polish, very annoying. The language barrier is also an issue here, I always bring a photo of what I’d like done which helps there, but that’s about it.

I cannot complain. They got me and my friend in last minute to avoid football.
The service was good and my nails lasted as long as it should. They were very nice and worked very hard.
I thought the place was very clean and I didn’t see anything that shows otherwise.
It was a good price quality ratio.

MyAnn is awesome! Hot wax, ripping hair out by the roots, what more could a girl want! I

I had a very pleasant first visit to Apollo. The staff was very nice. They helped me pick out a nice color and gave me an excellent pedicure. If you’re new to the city like me and are looking for a good nail salon I would definitely recommend them!

The tech who did the brow wax has contacted me to fix the service I received. She has been prompt and kind and has assured the service I received was not the norm. I believe this is true. I will recommend Apollo from now on.

I came to Apollo to do a fill on my eyelash extensions since my usual girl in Tacoma was overbooked. worst experience ever!
She glued eyelash glue in clumps that attached to chunks of my natural lashes which hurt. She didn’t comb them while doing it which resulted in it looking tacky and clumpy. Her methods and technique suggested she didn’t have enough practice or real training in this art. I will never go here again. I had to remove these myself which took out clumps of my natural lashes. Just awful. Don’t do lashes here!

I really want to like this place. It’s just so pretty and doesn’t have that nail salon smell. It’s open on Sunday! But every time I go, I end up with a cut on my finger/​cuticle or some other painful mishap. Currently, one of my toes is throbbing because my pedicure technician got a little aggressive with the snipper. Hopefully a soak in Epsom salts will take care of what ails me since I am not allowed to wear open toed shoes at work. Ouch!

Not impressed with the results of the pedi I got today. For paying on the higher end in comparison to prices of nail salons near by I expected my toes to look better…
Update: Manager called and apologize and offered to have me come in again on them. I appreciate the gesture and will update my review based on the next experience.

LOVE this salon! I go here to get my eyebrows waxed. Ny Ahn is fabulous! She takes her time and does a great job!

I have gotten my hair cut here before, but my hair stylist moved to another location. I still get my eyebrows waxed here and Shellac manicures and spa pedicures. They have done a total remodel on the inside. Gone are the tacky, uncomfortable, attempt at posh red chairs. The entire place now looks like a spa. Their spa pedicures now have the massage chairs to go with them. They no longer do acrylic nails they have gone to only doing the Shellac manicure (totally worth the extra) or just your basic manicure. They have several packages available if you need several services done. I recommend booking appointments because they do get extremely busy especially on weekends.

So I’ve been coming here off and on for the last 2 years. I recently came in for a pedicure and was more than pleasantly surprised! They charge the same amount as most local nail places $ 30 for a spa pedicure– however as other reviewers have mentioned their ventilation system is second to none! No nasty smelling chemicals here! Plus!
Secondly– a lot of the nail technicians if not all– speak English throughout your appointment– another star!
They never answer their personal cell phones while working on you– 1 star
They engage in conversation with you and make sure you are comfortable throughout your appointment star!
Lastly– they do the best pedicures! I actually received the full 45 minutes if not longer! A lot of other local nail salons will work on you– and the minute another guest walks in– rushes through the rest of your appointment. Not here. The only thing missing perhaps is a complimentary beverage. For being pretty modern with great long services– a water would be icing on the cake!
Overall comfortable and great experience! Highly recommended!
