While this salon has been around for a little bit, I just recently discovered it. Let me tell you I…read morewas impressed. The owner works solo, and provides the most exceptional level of service I have ever received at a nail salon. Her shop is exceedingly clean and sanitary. She explains all of her products and why she uses them, and how they benefit you. That is a huge difference from the mall salons I used to visit! She listened to what I wanted, made sure I was happy with how they looked before we ended our session. As a side note, her nail art is the best I have seen in our area hands down. She is very busy, so be prepared to wait for an appointment. She will not take walk-ins as she is so busy. I was able to get in within three weeks. You can book specific services and addons through her Facebook page so you are not surprised by the cost and she can book the appropriate duration.

This is a cautionary tale for those like my former self who would go to nail salons without…read morechecking if all the technicians are licensed and knowledgeable...I feel if I had done this none of the below would have happened. So, not only was I charged an outrageous amount for services I did not ask for, the technician injured my cuticles (the pain really kicked in the day after), damaged my nails by using a nail drill on my natural nails, something which should have never even been brought out (I did not even know what that was until I looked it up later), and then the business refused to refund the full amount of what I paid (their excuse was that they had performed "some services" so they were entitled to partial payment???) They did not care that the technician had caused injuries (one toenail cuticle was particularly scraped and became swollen the day after), damaged my nail beds, required me to go to a different place to remove the gel I had not asked for, and most importantly treated me with a total lack of respect or honesty. I was shocked by this horrible experience, especially when I confronted the owners and the technician after discovering I had been totally bamboozled. When I first left the salon I still had not realized the extent of how badly I had been treated or how much damage the technician had caused---but my gut feelings indicated I was very upset and as I was unable to work, I decided to find another place to first repair my fingernails (they were a mess) and remove all the gel from all my toe nails. At the second salon, they informed me that Ks Nails had not removed all the gel from one of my hands, I've never had any problems remotely like this at any other salons in other cities...I have simply said in the past that I wanted a regular manicure and no gel and everyone has respected that....until now! Therefore I've never had gel on my nails (until now) and was not familiar with the process ..my unfamiliarity with gel should not have been a reason to take advantage. The last straw was when I told this story to a friend of mine who said she had also gone to this salon years ago, and pretty much the same thing had happened to her! My friend had even repeatedly pointed to the services on the menu she wanted with the prices but the technician STILL proceeded to do services she hadn't asked for--- and STILL charged her for the unwanted extra services! My friend thought it was her own fault (it wasn't!) for not questioning the charges--even though she had done all the right things before starting. So, here you can find services added stealthily, overcharging, practices resulting in injuries, unprofessionalism, and horrible customer service...again, I'm astounded.

They do NOT honor appointment times, even for a longtime, good customer like me!…read more I called ahead of time for an 11:00 a.m., Monday morning appointment for a dip nail and a pedicure. "Gee" took a walk-in instead of honoring my appointmen! I asked how long I needed to wait. I was told 30 minutes! I left because that would have made me late for my next appointmen. That is rude and disrespectful, Kenny, to say the least...so sad because "Gee" does a good job...

WHEN you finally "get in" for your SCHEDULED appointment, the work done is excellent!. But if you…read morehave other important engagements afterward--forget it. They will take a walk-in right before you arrive and make you wait. You just can't count on them, which is detrimental if your life is busy and lived by schedules.

I appreciated that the nail tech took her time on my toes, cuticles, and feet. Everyone was very nice and the massage chairs were great. Pricing fit the experience and we will go back.
