Pedi Awesome

by kgii

This salon is a fun spot and oh so relaxing. The pedicures are out of this world. You must upgrade to the paraffin dip. Everyone there is very attentive from the front desk girls to the service providers. While not the cheapest, it’s very reasonable considering the overall experience and durability of the pedis. I love the trinkets and treasures. Scored some CUTE earrings - cuteness.

• Pros: Pedicure and service can't be beat

Best in Seattle

by Mimile

After living out of the area for two years, I have returned to Seattle and to Frenchy's. Last week, I came in for my first pedicure and facial. The salon has been updated - new paint, furniture, carpeting - lovely, very clean. The shabby sheek look is gone. Kudos to the owners! As always, my pedicure was the best, as was the facial.

• Pros: Prices, Staff, Location
• Cons: None

APPALLING

by Kelsklein

I was there with some gfriends and had a mani. when I went to the sink to wash my hands there was a big toe nail on the counter. I am not sure what happened to this place but it has gone downhill. When we sat in the couch area, it to was filthy. There were pieces of cotton and dirty cups everywhere. Frenchy's, it has lost it's lust!

• Cons: Front desk rude, overrated

avoid at all costs

by oenomelej

Basicly I had a mani and pedi- I went right home and took off the mani and re-did it myself! Too chatty with each other instead of paying attention to customers-

Parking is horrid! AVOID!

• Pros: crowded- rude- poor service
• Cons: worst mani ever!

Best Brazilian in Town

by megarooney

Getting a Brazilian is my least favorite thing to do, but Janetta makes the experience nearly painless. It was over so fast. I couldn?t believe it! I was in and out in 12 minutes. It was quick and thorough like every Brazilian wax should be. If you must get a Brazilian go see Janetta! She is hands down the best!

• Pros: Quick and thorough waxing services, nice staff
• Cons: can be noisy with large parties

There's nothing quite like Frenchy's!

by sosweet23

I have always loved Frenchy's. Most times I come in by myself for a quick manicure with Leanne or Queen (Leanne does the best little flowers on my thumbs!) and facial with Camilla. Every once in a while I treat myself to a massage and have always liked the technicians that I have been paired with. My favorite part is that I always see someone I know (or want to know!) and usually it's just after one of the makeup girls has taken 10 years off my face with her magic brushes! (I'm a total pushover and always go home with some pretty little package...) One time I treated my mom and sister to pedicures after a death in the family, and the girls treated us so well, we were actually able to take our minds off the stress we had been going through. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Frenchy's because of that day. Try it! Just know that it's not the type of experience you would have anywhere else...it's Frenchy's and it's a bit crazy but it's always fun.

• Pros: Great prices for the environment and knowledge of staff
• Cons: I save money on services, and then go crazy and spend a ton on expensive makeup!

It's still good!

by saltwatergirl

I treat myself to a Frenchy's pedicure about once a year, usually before a beach vacation, and have been for 6 years. I hadn't been in over a year and booked an appointment 6 weeks ago. Last week when looking up the price list I saw the recent bad reviews and had second thoughts. Sounded as if a lot had changed and things had gone downhill. I almost cancelled but decided to keep the appointment and hope for the best. It was just as I remembered it - comfortable, friendly, and GREAT pedicurists! It was a busy Saturday, but I wasn't rushed, received a wonderful pedicure, and am still very happy with their work. Definitely recommended!

• Pros: Friendly and funny pedicurists
• Cons: Parking can be a small challenge

Fun bachelorette party nail salon

by YM1891

We came to Frenchy's to celebrate before a friends wedding and had a great experience overall. The salon and its staff were very accommodating of our large group (18 people)--very friendly, let everyone pay seperately, very organized. Also the location is a fun and cozy place for a group of friends, even those who had to wait for their mani/pedis had a great time lounging on the salon's cozy couches, sipping tea, eating chocolates and reading magazines. Very cute and fun place. Also, the salon is set up so that people can sit next to each other and chat while they get their nails done, something our group really appreciated. A couple of the girls felt their manicurist was too rushed and not careful/meticulous enough with their manicures and pedicures, but many of us had great manicurists who did a very good job. Reccomended for your next bachelorette party/bday party or any group event.

• Pros: ambience, accommodation of large groups
• Cons: qualiy of service is varies, depends which manicurist you get. some are great, some were not as meticulous

Worst Service - product ruined my shoes!

by thespookybell

The product that Frenchie's used for my pedicure ruined my very expensive flip flops - when I called to complain, the manager told me that it wasn't their fault, it wasn't their problem. When I asked them what they could do for me to rectify the situation, I was basically told to try and retturn my shoes where I purchased them.

Additionally, The pedicure was not classy. I got to soak my feet in luke warm wather for 15 minutes (the water got cold) then the pedicurist chatted with her co-worker through the pedicure. Then She put a luke warm towel on my legs for 10 minutes. Funny, they refer to their pedicure as an hour of bliss.

Awful service. Awful manicure.

by Shana333

I went with a group of girlfriends to Frenchy?s to get manicures and it was the low spot in an otherwise great day. The manicure was rushed and the quality was horrid! The technician was rude and rushed through the manicure: neglecting to remove the wax from my hands after the paraffin dip and when she painted my nails she missed parts. The best part is that they have you hold your hands in front of a fan to dry them. Hmmm what happens to nail polish when you apply forced air? A terrible manicure with a rippled wind tunnel finish. This place is overpriced ($25 for the manicure) and under quality, avoid it all costs.
