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!

I was hesitant to leave this review because I thought the nails looked good in the salon (which…read moremade me overlook how Leann behaved) but when I left and saw how they looked in good light, I was even more upset. My mother-in-law has gone here for years so I thought I would just go back and ask her to fix them but after reading other reviews, it seems Leann no longer enjoys her work. I would prefer to talk with her about it rather than leave a review but after the way I was treated, no thanks. First, I was grateful to get in last minute. I have a bad habit of nail biting and my nails were not in good shape. Still, that doesn't mean I don't know what a quality manicure should be like. She told me on the phone it would be $60 then when I got there she said oh it's $10 extra for French tip. I mentioned French on the phone... Then I wanted round or natural shape and she rudely told me it won't look good because my nail bed is too short. I trusted her because she is the expert but she literally sighed and nearly slammed her hands on the table out of annoyance and said "I'll do it if you want." I took her advice and went with square. Throughout our appointment, basically all she said to me was repeatedly telling me don't bite my nails. Yes, I got it, thanks. She was yelling at her employee throughout and at one point knocked liquid all over my arm and hands from waving her hands around at her. Didn't say sorry or excuse me, nothing. Loved having that liquid burning my hand I did notice that there was a lot of dried stuff all over at the end so I had to ask for lotion because a hand massage is the last thing you'll be getting here. I shouldn't have tipped but did so I spent $84 for a bad attitude, judgment, and a chunky, uneven, bad manicure. Should have just kept my bad nails to begin with. Leann's might have been a nice place at one point in time and it's too bad this is what it's become. My pictures don't even fully show how bad it is. This is no way to treat your customers, especially with the product you are delivering.

The person who helped me got polish on my cuticles, the sides of my nails, and even on my fingertips. I figured she would clean it up at the end and she did a bit but it was so bad that when I pointed out all the issues, the owner had to come with an electric file and file down all of the excess polish -- and even then it STILL looked messy. You can see some of the polish left up to my cuticles in the photo. I wouldn't risk your $40 coming here -- cus after all that they still charged me the full price. Seems like a toss up if it'll be good or horrible.

Luckily i was able to do a walk in appointment as they werent too busy. But got busy right at the tail end of my session. I did a walk in on early friday afternoon and had a very specific design and color i wanted. This place had the color but i needed to confirm if they could do the deaign. The technician did a fantastic job catering to my needs and even explaining why they did what they did. On top of selecting this color, they mentioned they wanted to apply another colored coating so that the pink color cat eye i selected will be more aparrant when they finish. The golden heart was the dexor i wanted and they nailed it (pun intended)! It's been so long since ive been so happy with a session. I get compliments everywhere i go.

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. :)
