YUWOL NAILS

Yuwol Nails is a nail studio in a suite in Lynnwood, with a parking lot in front of the building. It is operated by Yuwol Studio LLC and owned by June Min, who also works as the nail artist. The studio works by appointment only, and bookings are made through its GlossGenius page rather than by direct message on social media.

Every service at the studio uses structured gel, and regular gel manicures are no longer offered. The standard structured gel manicure starts at $100 and takes at least 80 minutes. It includes cuticle care and a structured gel overlay that finishes with a clean polished look. Extensions start at $120 and take at least 150 minutes, and can be done in polygel, soft gel or tip extensions.

Nail art is offered as a design add-on starting at $5, with each design taking at least 10 minutes. Designs are grouped into four tiers by complexity, from minimal styles such as chrome, cat eye and French, through simple marble and rhinestone work, intricate 3D accents and layered textures, up to full custom sets. Design inquiries receive an exact quote before booking, and clients are asked to send inspiration photos ahead of time. If unsure of the tier, a higher one is advised, with the price adjusted. The Yuwol Special, from $140, offers a monthly curated selection of nuance designs, and full custom designs for it are booked as an add-on.

First-time clients can book For My New Clients, starting at $110 and taking at least 105 minutes. It begins with a consultation and includes a structured gel manicure with a design on two nails per hand and solid color on the rest. It is offered at an introductory rate and ends with an aftercare gift set.

Removal is handled in two ways. Removal Only, from $30 and at least 45 minutes, takes off existing product and includes a dry manicure, cuticle care, a coat of nail strengthener, oil and a hot towel massage. Gel Removal (Rebalance) is a no soak-off method that reduces product and leaves a thin gel layer on the nail. Removal of outside product is only available alongside another service, and removals should be booked in advance because unbooked ones take longer and cost more. Care Only, at $45 and 40 minutes, covers nail care without a full set.

Policies are firm. Clients are asked to arrive on time: there is a 10-minute grace period, a $10 late fee after 15 minutes, and further delays may shorten or change a solid-color service or lead to cancellation. No-shows are charged the full booked price. Squeeze-in services outside business hours carry a $50 fee. A deposit is applied to the total on the day. Only one guest is allowed during an appointment, and the guest must be confirmed in advance. Pets are not allowed. Sales are final, and a complimentary fix is offered within 5 days for issues from the original service, provided nails were not altered or damaged elsewhere. Payment can be made by card, approved digital payment, Zelle to Yuwol Studio LLC with no processing fee, or cash. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100, $200 or custom amounts and are final sale.

The studio standardizes on structured gel for every service and asks clients to follow simple aftercare, such as keeping nails dry, away from heat and pressure for the first 24 hours and applying cuticle oil daily.
