Less than 24 hours after service
Meg S.

I wanted to give a good review because my nails came out great, however my daughters gel manicure lasted less than 24 hours. This was for a wedding the next day that she was in and they started coming off before the ceremony. This service was not cheap by any means which I happily paid at the time. The person who did my nails made multiple fingers of mine bleed to the point he needed to apply something to stop the bleeding. I called and needed a refund as the wedding was over therefore she did not need them redone and was told her and I could get a discount next time we came in, no refunds. This was my first time there, we just moved up here and I planned on sticking with this salon. Unfortunately we will be finding somewhere else and not recommend. If you decide to go here make sure you find the right nail tech, there seems to be only two out of the several that work there.

Best Ombre French Manicure
Ann C.

I was told that 125 Nails did the best Ombre Manicure. I'm more than happy about the way my nails came out. Thank you 125 Nails.

Just before the incision was made to release the pressure from the infection.

125 nail caused me the worst infection. They hastily removed the gel and tore layers of my nail off resulting in very short brittle nails. I should have known to leave then but they proceeded with a very half assed manicure that left several of my nails sore. The polish came out ok but within 24 hours my finger was very swollen and in 48 hours I was in urgent care. The finger was so swollen and painful. I had two large needles injected into the base of my finger and then the nurse cut along my nail bed to release the pressure and infected puss. I was put on steroids and antibiotics. The infection came back two more times and the whole ordeal lasted about two months. Needless to say steer clear of this place at all costs!

My pedicure!

The workers are amazing! They are very nice and gentle, they always ask how my experience was at the end of every visit! Definitely recommend!

Amazing workers, my go to salon for 3 years! Always patient, personal and clean. Hannah does an amazing job running the place and the employees are helpful when I have to bring the kiddos!

Walked it, After standing at the desk for one second I was asked how may help you, I told her that I would like my nails fixed and she told me that it would be 15 to 20 minutes. But it only took her 5 mins and they help me..

Perfect Valentine's Day nails!!! I love this place - so much! Friendliest staff...very talented

See all

I walked in right behind David, who had just gotten back from lunch (food in hand!) and I asked if they had time for me. David took me immediately and put his lunch away. I've been to many nail salons trying to find "that" experience..the one we all look for when receiving a service. Comfortable, clean, and relaxing. None of the salons I've ever been to have checked every box..or even verbally communicated with me during my appointment...until I walked in to KD Nails and sat with David. The whole first appointment, David and I had conversation, and it was light and engaging. It was a breath of fresh air to be spoken to during my appointment and not just sitting in awkward silence! It was a great appointment and i realized that I have found my salon! I went for a couple more appointments, perfect experience each time, and he remembered our conversations and things that were going on in my life that we had spoken about. It was really a very personal experience. I booked yet another appointment and added a pedicure to it. The pedicure was so nice and relaxing, and she made sure I was comfortable the entire time! I have been back about 5 or 6 times since my first walk-in appointment, and I will continue to go to KD Nails for all of them, and I live in Manchester! Although David is leaving soon, Katie will be taking over my nails! I had my first appointment with her today and it was just as good as every other appointment I've had there. They make you feel like family, welcome and very personable. Thanks guys!!

Unfortunately a father brought in 2 sons 1 who was super loud, screeching, & making other annoying noises at which time I was having icepick headaches. I wanted out of that chair. It only made our day from par to horrible due to the stressors. If you have a child who is going to be loud & cause stress you should call ahead for a private time or go to a place that is used to noisy behaving clients which is not what you want from a Mani/Pedi visit. Practioners would have been fathers better option. It was a bad day. My daughter's nail pointed toward the right, totally sideways & needed to be redone. She mentioned this but was ignored. It was late appt. times & it was obvious everyone wanted to be done for that day. I totally understand but stop taking any walk-ins if you aren't up for doing a perfect manicure/pedicure. The first dip was only 2 times & 2nd appt. time was 6+. It was unfun & I hoped we had found a new place. Bummer! 1st Pedi was perfect, unrushed & quiet. The man with the sons didn't use common sense, the spa should have told them we are not taking any more clients & it is closing time. Comment on talking in own language, yes, that's uncomfortable. It's like 2 sophomoric friends treating another like a 3rd wheel, this is annoying & not the best in business savvy.

I find a lot of times I go to the salons and I don't have that experience. And they do a great job. They also have dazzle dry, which is an amazing product. It lasts about 10 days without chipping and dazzle dry doesn't have any of the chemicals that a lot of other nail polishes have that are banned in other countries. So it's a really healthy alternative. I would highly recommend them.

I'm not the only one read reviews! Updated This lady has lied in a review! I never contacted them to set up an appointment. I don't even wear acrylic nails I do SNS. I asked for gel, but now I know she put acrylic on my nails. The entire service was not what I asked for and you lied about the price you commit a credit card for and now I'm posting the pictures when you keep denying a call and I posted the recordings. The lady took off $10 off of my nails because she broke them. I have a recording with them admitting to me saying no tip. I have several phone calls from them. I have text messages while I try to reach back out to them and do the right thing. I'm going to post them on there. I have a recording this morning where she's hello hello I cannot hear you. She knew exactly who I was and they know what they did never set up an appointment didn't know about this. I'm not even from here My nails was done in Tulsa Oklahoma. And now they lying because they stole money and committed credit card fraud. And I will be pressing charges and I also was disputing the transaction. So you stole six dollars from me but now you're losing three times that. I have it on recording everything! This place is crazy! She totally messed my nails up and ask me how I'm going to tip her out loud so everyone could hear. I had 1 broken nail on each hand! No yellow, no cracks no nothing. She would've had to do a new set and soak off because I do SNS powder dip. She broke the nail and started to laugh. The whole review that she just put was 1,000,000% a lie. I told her I had just got off work at 6 AM and I was very tired. I had not meant to sleep. I'm not even from here. I'm here working. I never set an appointment. Never knew about this nail shop. It was the closest one. We have to discuss what I wanted. I told her gel. The entire time I asked for something she just ignores what I asked for that's why I put the text message in there while I'm telling them this this is in my friend said you asked for four times kendra you need to ask for a manager. That's when I say FaceTime me. As you look underneath, my nails is no yellow! I will also post a picture today before of my nails then I broke, but 2. One on each hand! She drilling on my real nails and I said be careful and she broke my real nail and started laughing. There way shorter then what I ask for. Humps everywhere so much acrylic underneath the nail bed. I came in with long, beautiful nails. Some were broken. But by the time she finished, I had nothing left! Nails Different shapes and sizes, and she ask for a tip! Even my Lyft driver said I wouldn't even pay for that. That's how bad the nails look. This is just one of the issues of my nails. I kept correcting her throughout and she stood was just laughing and trust me trust me I said make them thicker. Trust me trust me she wouldn't make it thicker some thick something. Everything I ask for her to fix she found it funny and would not fix. Then turned around very loudly and said how you wanna tip?! I said tip required how you want to come to the front! So I left my AirPods in there in the other clients and also nail people decided to have a conversation about me. It wasn't about the tip. I'm from another state here working so the money was not the issue. It was the issue that every time I said something was wrong. She would not fix it and she found it funny. She literally found it funny that she was drilling on my nails and broke it after I kindly said please be careful. I asked for a totally different length, but she kept drilling and violent and I have literally no nails left. I will not tip you. Nowhere ever come back again. This is literally right after I left the nail shop. I have the receipt in the Lyft driver, so they cannot say that they did not do my nails here. just checked my car since I refuse to tip her she told me $60. I checked my credit card and it's $66 on there so you took six dollars from me. Call back to the nail shop. The lady said what you say, you tip her 2 to 3 dollars I told you no! It was like they was trying to force me to tip her! She said she worked two hours on my nails. She did not work two hours on my nails. They open up at 9:30. This is the time I got to there. It was about an hour or less she worked on my nails.
