Queenie Nail Salon in Tukwila, WA

Had a reservation and it took them 45 minutes to get me in a chair. They were very nice though. I'll also say I paid for a 10 minute massage and it definitely wasn't 10 minutes- it was shorter.

Went to get my eyebrows done. Didn't know that this spot had changed hands since the last time I was there; or at least it appears to have done. Although others have remarked upon its cleanliness, I found both the main salon and the interior spaces to be very cluttered. The eyebrow room was particularly so, and I didn't love the stain I saw on one of the coverings; granted, they applied a paper cover. I appreciated being greeted quickly and taken back quickly; in general, eyebrows are a mix of efficiency and care. They had the efficiency part down. The care part not so much. The person did not speak to me until the end, yet kept up a steady conversation, I guess, with the person outside the room, something that has never happened to me before; it was like she was talking to herself, muttering - but to the person outside. I found it odd - as when doing eyebrows you are pretty close to each other so she was pretty much talking into my face. At one point, her hand rested on my mouth, something that has also never happened to me. I have been getting my eyebrows done for decades. I didn't like the service here.

It is a nice and clean shop. Queenie did my nails and it came out super nice. Got compliments on my nails!

Hidden gem! I love this place! Staff is always nice and amazing. Recently painted inside and it looks great. They follow all of the new trends and protocols. Always good service, reasonable and friendly.

First time here - I called in same day a few hours before I wanted to come in. They told me they were available but when I got there I had to wait 15 mins. When I finally sat down I told the guy that I had to leave at a certain time which was about 50 mins later and he reassured it would be enough time to get what I wanted done which included a simple design. After he soaked my nails he went to go work on a complaining customers nails which took about 20 mins of time that should have been dedicated to MY nails. While I was there there were a few customers who came in with an appointment but were told to wait because the techs were already working with other people. So it may seem like this is typical practice for them and that there is no actual booking system and they just tell people to come in to keep them busy. He had to rush on my nails and even cut me with the rough filing. 3 days later and the side of my finger is still tender. I had no choice but to leave with just the nude base color since there was no time left to do a simple French. In total he spent about 20 mins from the time he took the foils off to when I had to leave. I didn't like that i wasn't asked to rinse the dust off my hands and nails prior to color application. Is this normal at this salon? I also heard another customer ask if the other tech wanted her to wash her hands. Lastly there was some distracting noise in there. I kept looking outside because it sounded like it was hailing? Overall I'm not sure if I would come back.
