I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

The…read moresalon is always clean, with such a nice, relaxing atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a treat. I regularly get my nails, toes, and eyebrows done, and I've been consistently happy every single time. I always get so many compliments on my nails, which says a lot about the quality of their work. Minh is truly the sweetest. She makes you feel so taken care of from the moment you walk in. She greets all the customers, remembers everyone's names, and creates such a welcoming environment. I trust her completely with my nails and eyebrows--she never misses. Highly recommend if you're looking for great service and a place that genuinely cares about their clients!

Reply post Here's a…read morestronger, professional response that includes that point while keeping the focus on the facts: Thank you for your response. However, there are several statements in your reply that are not accurate. I did not approve the final gel color. After I was told the salon did not have the exact shade from my reference photo, an employee selected what he said was the closest match. As soon as the polish was applied, I immediately said it looked purple/pink, not the bright pink I had requested. I was repeatedly told that it was "pink," despite my concerns that it did not resemble the color I came in for. I made a phone call because I genuinely wanted a second opinion to make sure I wasn't imagining the difference. After confirming that the color was not what I wanted, I decided I no longer wanted the polish. That decision was based on the final result, not because I suddenly "changed my mind." It's also unfair to suggest that your shop closing during my appointment was somehow my responsibility. Before coming in, I called and let the salon know I was on my way. Whoever answered the phone told me that was perfectly fine. If there wasn't enough time to complete the service without it extending past closing, the appointment should not have been accepted. I should not be made to feel rushed or pressured because the service continued after business hours. I also felt pressured to pay for a service I was unhappy with before my concerns were fully addressed. While I appreciate that the gel polish was eventually removed, that does not change my experience. My review reflects how I was treated as a paying customer, and I stand by it. This version is assertive without being insulting, and it addresses the main factual points you want to correct.

I went to Kim's nail salon 3 weeks ago for a fill on my gel x nails from a different salon and a…read moregel pedicure. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work for both the pedicure and manicure. I felt like the application had been rushed at the other place I had initially gotten the gel x applied, so I decided to try out Kim's instead. And I'm very happy I did. Annie did my nails and took great care in looking at my detailed design idea, asking me what colors I wanted and checking in multiple times to ask if I liked it. My manicure and pedicure are still perfectly intact 3 weeks later. I will say, I would probably give 4.5 stars if I could, just because the pedicure took a long time as the girl doing it was on phone calls/FaceTimes the whole time and kept texting on her phone. That was strange to me, but the gel pedicure has lasted much longer than at the previous place I went to so I'm happy about that. I also did have to wait 20ish minutes after my scheduled reservation time which wasn't ideal. Overall a good experience and will definitely consider going back for my nails again!

It's hard to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place all to myself but they…read moredeserve all of the praise. I have been going to salons disappointed for years until Kim's. (See my other reviews for example) it might look like a regular nail salon, but the artistry is next level luxury. You might end up having favorites but every tech is incredibly skilled and cares about the details. The salon itself is quite simple, clean and brightly lit. My first time coming in I saw Jojo, then Hannah, then Cherry, all great work. Today I saw Lee who is also the manager and watching her work I was in awe. She was doing my builder gel mani while booking appointments, managing walk ins, checking out customers and answering calls texts, I don't know how she does it all without error but I can see why she's in charge. They are quite busy, so I recommend booking an appointment and coming during slower hours (it's never empty though!) sometimes I find myself waiting after walking in on a weekday afternoon or morning even because their customers always come back. No matter what they always find a way to get me in. They are very transparent with pricing, they will tell you how much everything is, add ons shape change etc. and it is good that they do this. This is not a cheap salon, they charge fairly for their quality of work. The employees seem happy.
