9 essentials nail spa

Kim has done my nails for over 10 yrs. These are some pictures over the years. She also does my lashes and is amazing. I highly recommend essential nails.

Switched to 9 after I found out the people at harbor nails just talk smack about everyone who comes in as you’re sitting there. Yenny does my nails and she’s amazing, Tammy does the best pedicures! Made the switch 6 months ago and will never go back

Let me preface this by admitting I’m a guy who had never indulged in a pedicure before. Yet, recently feeling the urge to give my feet some overdue TLC, I ventured into the world of spa treatments at 9 Essential Spa.

Walking in, I was admittedly a bit timid—my exterior, clad in sweats and topped with a Fedora hat, might have suggested otherwise as I noticed heads turning my way as if caught in a gusty swing of the wind. Standing at the center of attention, I couldn’t help but be momentarily speechless, having never attracted such collective gaze from so many women at once.

Summoning my inner Barry White, I inquired in the smoothest tone possible if they accepted walk-ins, scanning the room all the while. Almost instantly, a beautiful and friendly staff member assured me with a soothing accent, “Yes, we do. What would you like?” To which I replied, a bit unsure, “A pedicure,” not fully knowing what I was signing up for. Her response was as reassuring as her demeanor, “We got you, have a seat.”

And so began the most remarkable journey of self-care I’ve experienced. The pedicure was nothing short of an amazing adventure, leaving me not only loving my feet more but feeling thoroughly pampered and taken care of. The level of comfort and welcome I received was so outstanding that I found myself tipping $20, a small token of my appreciation for a service that went above and beyond.

I can’t thank the team at 9 Essential Spa enough for not only addressing my feet’s needs but for making me feel so welcomed and comfortable throughout the process. To any guys out there hesitating about getting a pedicure, let my story encourage you. It’s not just about foot care; it’s about feeling your best. And to the wonderful staff at 9 Essential Spa, a heartfelt thanks again for such a memorable first experience.

First time and will forever be a customer! GREAT customer service and prices and the nails are even better! I’m obsessed. Best experience in gig harbor and I’ve had bad experiences in the past at other places. So glad I found a new salon

My friend and I stopped in here on a Thursday afternoon for two pedicures and we had a wonderful visit. The staff were friendly and I love that they have a variety of pedicures to choose from. For $45 I got the Bubble Deluxe and it was a blissful experience. The sugar scrub, foot rub, hot towels, hot stones, and foot cream was a nice experience. I would come here again. I believe they prefer cash and have an ATM on-site, so bring cash if possible.

The staff made my granddaughter feel like a princess with her manicure and pedicure. They always treated my wife and I like personal friends when they take care of us.

Ami & Tami did a great job on my nails. They were very thorough prepping my nails prior to polish. Kind & not distracted or rushed. I will definitely return for my next mani/pedi.

Kim did an amazing job designing my nails today, she is very talented and super nice. I was a walk in and got seated immediately, which was very nice. I showed Kim a design I wanted for Halloween and she used her skills and creativity to create something fun. It was a calm and quiet atmosphere. Relaxing. I will definitely be going back.

I’ve been three times since being recommended and the technicians are amazing. The shop is very clean and orderly. Quiet and peaceful most mid mornings and the vibe is always positive. I drive past 15 nail salons to go here and am happy I found them.

I’ve gotten a new set and 2 acrylic fills. Shaping is always well cared for and I actually need fills before any breakage.

But the massages I saw going on today with the pedicures made me think I need one of them soon too.

I got a gift certificate from my aunt for this place so I looked at the reviews and was concerned by the negativity. I didn’t experience any negativity from this place! I forgot to ask her name but the lady who did my nails did an AMAZING job and she said she’s never really done special designs like this one but it came out amazing ! I feel bad because I wasn’t able to tip her a lot but I would’ve tipped more if I had the money. I will be coming back! Very good job :) and the atmosphere was good. I liked how pretty the salon was, they put effort into decorating it.

I see Ami for my nails...she is absolutely amazing. I have never had a bad experience! All the staff are welcoming and kind.

I've had good experiences at this nail salon, they do quite a nice job on manicures and pedicures. They have other services available like waxing as well. And when I've had an issue with my Polish they have had absolutely no problem making it right.

Tammy did the Lord's work in callous removal! Walked right in and was seated for a pedicure immediately. Services were straight forward and fairly priced; everything was clean and sanitary. My legs and feet are very relaxed and I'm beyond pleased with my time here.

Such a clean beautiful place… I love love love it… customers were treated with a smile and your choice of polish is over the top… Kim did my eyebrows and as always they look amazing!!!
Congrats to you Kim for starting your own salon!!!
♥♥

Kim does an amazing job! All my Pinterest dreams come true with her! Also wonderful conversation the whole time! And Tami does an amazing pedicure ! These ladies are the best!

Always pleasant!!
Offers a wonderful variety of pedicure scents and products.
I love the remodel.
Very nice, I highly recommend!!

I always come here with family when visiting them. I've been here a handful of times over the last 4 years and most recently October 2023. Massage chair spa pedicure , massage, hot towel and stone rub with scented water and lotion
45$ + 15$ for gel polish.
Ladies are always very nice.

Tried this place for the 1st time today. I saw they have an extensive nail dip collection, so I came in. It was very busy, but I only had to wait about 15 minutes. They definaelty don't waste time. They use 2 nail techs if you are getting mani pedi. So you get them done at the same time. They did a good job and were nice. The place is nice, looks recently renovated. I would come back. And yes they prefer cash, but I always pay cash anyways for nails, make sure tip both technicians if you have 2. I saw some reviews complain about prices, but I am not looking to go to a cheap nail salon and pick up a fungus so you get what you pay for. I found their prices to be comparable to the better nail salons. Paid $120 for dipped nails and gel delux pedi.

I usually have a very good experience here when getting my nails done. They can get busy so calling ahead is recommended so you aren't disappointed if they are swamped and can't squeeze you in right away. They are updating the place and it looks nice so far.

Thank you 9 essentials!!.. You guys did an amazing job on my nails and toes!! I love them so much and will definitely be returning❤
