Yamada Studio - Nails & Spa

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this nail salon, I was definitely expecting better from the reviews. Not only did my nails turn out lumpy and uneven, but they look like they are already starting to fall apart and I just got them done! They are very uneven at the base and looks like dust and fuzz got under the polish. It seemed like they were trying to get me out the door as fast as possible, even though there weren't any other customers. The rushed service and poor quality of work made it a waste of $70. I definitely won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I discovered Yamada studio a few weeks ago and decided to try it out because of the cute nail deigns. I got a gel manicure with a 3D bow and loved it! I got so many compliments. On top of that it, it lasted 3 weeks even though I swim 3 times as week. I just went back yesterday and requested a different design - foil flakes and glitter with purple jelly nails. I’m quite happy with them and hope they hold up as well as they did last time. I’m already thinking of what I want to try next. Fun salon and really nice staff! 11/10/23 - Updated with more photos! Loving my nails and they last until it’s time to remove them.

I love Yamada Studio! I always feel taken care of and relaxed when I leave! Beautiful, meticulous work! Such a friendly and warm staff:)

This is my first time at Yamada. It is also my first time getting gel-X and nail art... with that being said, Kyle did NOT disappoint! He was so attentive to detail applying the nail extensions as well as doing the nail art! I showed him an inspo pic without having discussed it prior and he absolutely nailed (ha ha) it! There was one flower he couldn't get just right and instead of leaving it, he kept fixing it (without me even really noticing!). The establishment is clean and they were super efficient -- I was in and out in an hour. I will DEFINITELY be back!

I love Yamada Studio! A small part of me wants to gatekeep this place since I used to go to White Lotus in Bothell but it became impossible to get an appt when it was time to freshen up my nails and honestly Yamada is better! I have gotten three sets of hard gels with them now and have experienced no lifting which usually always happens to me. I don’t know what they are doing differently, but it’s working! They are also extremely transparent about the price for a design before they even get started so there are no surprises at the register. The tech who has done my nails the last two times always apologizes for taking too much time but she really doesn’t need to, she does an amazing job and my nails last for 3-4 weeks with no issues. If you love getting hard gel or gel x manicures definite
