Pink Tanuki Nails

Pink Tanuki Nails is the nail salon within Pink Tanuki Studios, located on 20th Avenue South in Seattle's 98144 area. The salon says health comes first, with healthy nails and skin as the base for everything it does, and it describes its work as high quality, scientifically informed and held to strict sanitation practices.

Services are grouped into manicures and pedicures at several levels: express visits, wellness work aimed at a specific trouble spot, and relaxation services with an exfoliating scrub and a moisturizing treatment. Hand and foot care covers callus and corn smoothing, a conditioning heat treatment, dry skin care using Gehwol products, nail trims, and care for thickened or curved toenails. Repairs and reconstruction are available for individual nails, including Barefoot Gel from LCN for damaged or missing toenails.

Polish options include Dazzle Dry, which needs no lamp or soaking, the full CND Shellac system, and Bio Sculpture Gel with an Evo overlay that adds no length to the natural nail. Removal services handle soakable gel, hard gel overlays, and powder-applied products such as acrylics and dips. Take-home removal kits are sold for Shellac and Bio Sculpture Gel. Nail art runs from quick accents to intricate hand painting with crystals.

Clients give 24 hours notice for cancellations and reschedules, and no-show appointments are charged. Anyone with symptoms of a communicable illness within five days of an appointment is asked to reschedule. Clients with concerning toenails are asked to come prepared to discuss what their doctor has said about them, and Tough Toenail Care does not treat fungal nails.

Health comes first, with healthy nails and skin treated as the foundation for each service.
