Love Kim Nail. Been going here for many years. The technicians are friendly and do a great job. The salon is always busy and just recently I have noticed it hard to get a walk in appointment or a next day appointment. Call ahead! I do wish they would update their polish colors with more Essie and replace the most popular colors more frequently. They have a ton of gel colors and mostly Essie/OPI polish. If you pay cash you can save a few bucks! Def recommend.

Called on Mother’s Day to make an appointment for a pedicure. The man who took the call told me to come at 2 pm. I promptly arrived at 2 pm and was seated in a pedicure chair — feet in the water — for 30 minutes! I was told sorry couple minutes 10 mins then 20 then thirty minutes into waiting ! I decided at thirty minutes that I had enough and left — I was told sorry sheepishly by the same gentlemen who took the call . I’ve been there before and have always waited but not this long. The experience has never been stellar but average at best. The place is run down feels rather seedy and now after this I no longer will spend my money or time there. Respect people’s time don’t bring them in and make them wait like cattle — poor management

My favorite nail salon! I’ve been going here for a couple of years! They are all friendly! Have good movies playing and a nice laid back atmosphere. I highly recommend! Good for shellac, regular polish, eye brow waxing, paraffin treatments, pedicures w/massage chairs and some nail art, too!

I went to Kim’s for the first time today(at the recommendation of two friends) and had a great experience. I got a Shellac manicure and a regular pedicure. it was $ 50 for the two, which I thought was very reasonable. Jessica was very friendly and patient with me as I chose my colors(they have a great display of options!) Note: They had me pick my pedicure color first, and brought the ring of Shellac options over to me to pick while I got my pedicure. Both the manicure and pedicure were done with meticulous detail. They use brand new tools for each client and even had a plastic form in the soak tub for your feet that they dispose of after each use. Cleanliness is really important to me in a nail salon so this was really reassuring. They offer water, which I just found really nice. The gentleman brought me over a magazine(I hadn’t realized they were right in front of me before I sat down). Overall, it was a great experience and I will be going back!

They do a great job here. The pedicures last for weeks, as do the gel manicures. Haven’t been able to make a regular manicure from anywhere more than a few days with my hand thwacking activities that I’ve been filling my last year with such as gardening, farm animal care, carpentry, painting, cleaning, climbing walls.. . But the gel manicure I had for Christmas lasted until well after the holidays. Finally took it off because it had grown out too much. They are nice, have massages chairs that don’t attempt to violate your nether regions, have a wide variety of colors, generally play amusing movies, I find the foreign language banter soothing and like to imagine they are talking about me(just kidding: D) The prices are quite reasonable. Will definitely go again.

They do an awesome manicure and pedicure! Gel manicures always come out even and last at least 2 weeks! Jessica is my personal favorite– and of course Kim.

Poor service and overpriced. The staff rushes you and tries to nickel and dime for poor quality manicures and pedicures. Do not recommend, but all other nail salons are great in the area!

Better by an order of magnitude than any of the other places nearby!

I brought my Mother, who is battling end stage cancer, for a little pampering. The staff at Kim Nails was playing a vile, inappropriate movie on a large screen tv. I am by no means a prude, however not a fan of constant use the«F» word, accompanied by sexual activity, and women licking each others breasts. I found this movie choice to be beyond unprofessional. I kindly asked Kim to please put something on that was more appropriate for a spa setting, and she abruptly answered«NO.». After my initial shock wore off, I explained that mom is ill, and we are here to relax, and their choice of movie is not conducive to that. Kim was extremely rude to us, and told us we don’t have to come back! In the middle of our pedicure, we left. I will never return to that salon again. I also recommend that if you have small children, leave them home, as you will not know what they are showing on tv, and as I was so rudely told, «we choose movies, not the customer.».

I’ve tried a lot of the nail salons in the area and was quite disappointed. However, though it was hard to understand their english, they are really friendly people. I had an emergency with my acrylics. I got my nails done at LA nails and within the week, my acrylics were already about to come off. They were ready to fall off so I came here. They were extremely nice and had a lot of tips to give. I will be revisiting soon :)

This place might be great for nails, I wouldn’t know because I didn’t use their manicure or pedicure services. I went there for waxing though and I felt like warning anyone who might be thinking of giving them a try: most painful waxing I’ve ever had! The wax texture is not good, the service took a lot longer than it would take anywhere else and the result was far from great. Unfortunately I won’t bee coming back.

Love this place! They are VERY clean and do a fantastic job. They don’t rush your appointment. Be sure to schedule an appointment, walk ins are tough because they book up quickly. A little bit pricey, but well worth the $$

Pedicures last for weeks and the entire staff is super friendly and welcoming to each customer. They always have time for walk-ins — but in doing this, never rush customers through. There is a big focus on cleanliness and the pedicure basins have removable disposable liners that are changed before each service. Sitting in the massaging pedicure chairs while watching new movies that are always playing on their HD tv is heavenly! Price is also very reasonable — mani+pedi special $ 40!
