I have been trusting my nail care to Kitty and Kimberly for a decade. They have been consistently excellent. Whether it is a brow wax or a pedicure, they always excel. I also appreciate the sanitary shop and the calm nature of the technicians. The location is very convenient. I give a big thumbs up to K&K! read more

Kitty continues to be a master in her craft. Always welcoming and kind and does a great job. Goes above and beyond for her clients and walk ins, despite being a one woman business. Always sad when people (Petty La Belle) make false negative reviews because they were turned away as a walk in who didn't have an appointment bc a one woman business was full for the day. Then changes their name and writes the same review. How bitter can one person be. read more

5star nail shop, Kittyhas been doing my pedicures for 8yrs. The experience has been amazing and my feet are very well taken care of.

This nail salon is dirty and gross and the woman working here is incredibly rude. I would not recommend this place. I got an infection in my toenail from digging and use of unsanitary tools. read more

K & K Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I've been going to Kimberly & Kitty since the first week they opened. I've also been to most of the nail salons in southern Marin, and this one is by far the best. Kitty is an artist w finger nails and Kimberly gives the best pedicures and is also very talented at waxing! It's a one stop shop.. I've had pink & white, gel, acrylic etc.. Now I go w natural nails and that thick gel polish :-) I love it!! .. They offer parafin dips & steamed towels w the pedicure, which is a nice touch. Walkins are tough here, you usually need an appointment to be seen. .. and make sure you have plenty of time to spend, bc they're usually busy and it can take a while. Mani, Pedi & waxing takes me 1.5-2 hours depending on if Theresa is also working, and how many clients are in. Best place!! Try it out if you haven't already :-) read more

Looking for a heavenly pedicure? Ask Kimberly for a Deluxe Peducure. Lotions and potions, parafin wax and a foot massage are included. At $36. this is less pricey than most Mill Valley salons. I'm writing this as I sit in the massage chair with herb infused hot towels wrapped around my legs. Ahhhhhh read more

K & K Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Mill Valley, California

seriously the best nail salon in all of marin hands down. kitty takes her time with every detail and it definitely shown in her work. she goes above and beyond what other nail salons ever do like trims cuticles ( in my experience no one EVER does this in an acrylic set) and she files down the underside of the nail to create a smooth finished masterpiece. her work is consist and very reasonable priced. I will use K & K nails till the day I die! read more

K & K Nails - gel acrylic manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I recently went to K & K for the third or fourth time for a pedicure. The quality of their service is VERY inconsistent. My first time I was fortunate to get Kitty. She was pretty great; very thorough, meticulous, and did a great job on my callouses and my feet looked and felt really good. The next one or two times were about average and relatively inconsequential. I do remember I was definitely not nearly as pleased as the first time. I felt like they rushed through the pedicure (they had people waiting because they overbooked) and hardly worked on the callouses at all, which was disappointing because I specifically requested this when I made the appointment. Mind you, my feet are not at all yucky and are actually nice looking-- I am barefoot so much that I just get prone to callouses. My last and most recent pedicure was from Kimberly. Kitty was booked for the whole day. :( I again specified on the phone that I really wanted someone to work on my callouses. I know it was Kimberly who took the appointment because she calls people "Hun". So I arrived and she was also to do the pedicure. To get to the point, Kimberly used the razor to shave down some calloused areas and never even smoothed the skin out-- it was sliced, uneven and shiny looking everywhere she razored! Unacceptable in this line of work, as it was a totally incomplete job! Also, she did not file the nails evenly. The two big toenails were totally different from each other AND uneven and not symmetric themselves! Additionally, she got topcoat all over several of my toes and left it there. Last but not least, for some reason Kiimberly was quite unfriendly throughout the entire process, like I had inconvenienced her by being there; like she was doing me a big favor. However, she was extremely ass-kissey to the two women next to me who got full service everything just before I got there and likely was hoping for a sizable tip from them. That's the feeling I got. So if you do go here for a pedicure (I cannot speak for any other service), make the appointment with Kitty ahead of time. I would not recommend Kimberly. Sorry Kimberly. Try harder and do your job right, girl. read more

The people here are very nice, but there is one HUGE reason why I will not return here... I noticed that they double dip the sticks they use when you get a wax, which means that they are doing this for everyone else as well. When I inquired as to why they do this, the waxer said, "The wax is hot, kills the germs". Nice try, but unless they boil the wax between each customer, which I HIGHLY doubt they do, the wax pots are just a breeding ground for whatever germs the wax sticks picks up each time a new person comes in. YUCK!!!! I don't even want to begin the fathom what how gross this is for people who have their armpits done, much less brazilian waxes. Studies have shown that waxers that double dip their waxing sticks can actually spread real diseases like HPV from one customer to another. As a result, I will NEVER go here for a wax again. read more

After living in the city for years, I have been extremely spoiled by inexpensive pedicures. What I forgot was that 'inexpensive' does not exactly mean quality. I went to K&K the other day, and received the best pedicure I have had in years. The setting was relaxing, and the girls were absolutely thorough. My feet were perfectly buffed, nicely polished, and I walked away relaxed. It was $22 for a basic whirlpool/massage chair and $32 for paraffin, lavender oil, and sea salt scrub. read more

This place is GROSS. I have been a couple times and have decided I am never going there again - even if it was free. They do NOT clean their instruments or pedicure baths. A women has just got a pedicure and she used her old dirty disposable orange buffer on my hands. (Which I noticed she does on everyone) Effin disgusting and out of compliance. I asked her to get another one and she gave attitude and charged me extra and talked crap in Vietnamese to her co-worker. Dirty a$$ lady. I'm going to call the department of health. They need to step up their game. They do not disinfect any tools! So if you want athletes feet and warts on your hands - enjoy! Peace out "Kitty" read more

I've been a customer of Kitty's for something along the lines of 7 years now. Back in the day she worked at Nails #1, but a about a year ago, she and her coworker decided to open up their own shop. Kitty was always the best nail technician at Nails #1, so of course when she left, I followed! Kitty is the most thorough manicurist I've ever seen, and I've tried quite a few (I would guess that I've seen at least 30 different nail techs over the years, if not more). My nails stay looking good for several weeks after my appointment, where as they inevitably start looking ratty within a week when someone else has done them. Your raggedy cuticles don't stand a chance around Kitty! :) I love the new shop, too -- it's in a great location, and it's got huge windows that let in a ton of light. It's a bright, inviting spot, and I think Kitty has done herself proud. read more

Since my first review I've been back twice. Each time was a bit more disappointing than the previous. I'm bummed to be giving such a huge downgrade because it's normally not my style, but this was just not a good experience. I went in for (admittedly) a quick manicure on a Sunday afternoon. It was the day before Valentine's Day and I wanted my fingers to look as great as I felt. What I walked out with was a wallet $15 lighter and fingers that looked like an elementary schooler had done them. My nails we not filed evenly and the shapes vary per nail. At one point I noticed one of my cuticles was bleeding - I've been cut before but I've never bled much. Until now. When I examined it, a few minutes after I noticed it, the woman doing my nails said something like, "Oh, yes your cuticle was cut. That's what happens when you have cuticles like yours. We're very clean here. We're very clean." Um, your assurance of being clean is not making my finger feel better. Turns out my middle finger got nicked pretty good too. In all my years of manicures, I've never had that happen. Two fingers. And the rest look bad. All I got was a buff and shine - the buff lines are clearly visible and my nails have gouges. I get that they got really busy just as I sat down, but seriously, I expect better. I really liked the vibe and work here, until now. read more

I have been to countless nail salons in SF and Marin....These ladies do the best work of any. They are consistently meticulous and thorough. Since finding them 3 years ago, I no longer stop in any other salon, out of convenience, or for any reason. Each time I've done so, it has only reinforced what great work K&K does on my cuticles and nails. NOTE: get the most out of your experience by making an appointment and give yourself plenty of time. It will be well worth it. read more

Kim gives the best pedi! I recommend making an appointment. Walk in welcome but they are usually busy.

I've been going to K and K nails for eight years now. Kitty and Kimberly are amazing and so friendly. Their service is above and beyond.

This is a clean establishment tucked in to Mill Valley. I go to get my back and shoulder waxed. I've never done this before, and it's something us men should do often. From what I've heard through the conversations with Kimberly, they have a large following for men. read more

When it comes to getting my nails done, I'm not looking for a full on relaxing spa treatment. Massage chairs and peace and quite are nice, don't get me wrong, but walking out with cute fingers and toes are what I'm looking for. That's what K&K does best. I'm happy with my french manicure and the price was right. This is not a place you go to for ambiance, luxury pampering or service, you will get the typical nail technician that clearly hates their job. This place is simple, quick and easy to get to and that's all I need. I will definitely come back for a full mani/pedi. and save my $$ for the full spa experience for an upcoming vacation or birthday splurge. Oh, and one more thing.....they don't have trashy magazines available which I think is a MUST have when getting a pedicure, this would be my only negative for K&K. read more

I'm in town for work and needed some work of my own done. A ten minute walk or a 30 second drive from my hotel was K&K Nails. Super friendly on the phone, they invited me to just stop on by because they could take me right then. The place was only a bit hard for me to find because I don't know this area. They are right across from the gas station, and have a few spots in the Subway parking lot. The space is light and airy and pretty clean. Kimberly was waiting as I arrived to do my wax. I got a Brazilian and a pedicure. The wax was surprisingly great, actually. Not too much pain or awkwardness, as there sometimes is with new people or new waxers. She was very thorough and although she was using honey wax, it didn't hurt at all. The waxing room isn't your amazingly-immaculate-spa-perfection room, but for $40, what do you want? The pedicure was the best part. It did take some time, but I was blown away. Kimberly confirmed I wanted the "regular pedicure" (some places I've been to haven't!!) and yet it felt like a spa pedicure. Hot towels around your legs, massages, salt scrubs...meticulous paint job. Very good for $22! That's cheap for a pedicure! She did get up to tend to a regular customer and answer the phone--but no points docked because I was on a call as well and this regular customer was a fu*king nutjob. Be wary of the "regulars" here--that fu*king nutjob came in and asked to sweep 'cause it was too dirty, was loud, acted like she was drunk and 12, it was embarrassing. Had that awful woman not been there, I would have asked to stay for a manicure as well! Nice, K&K! I'll be back! read more

My co-worker and I came here to get pedicures on our lunch break. Excellent service, very pampering! For $22, you get a pedicure..WITH: 1) hot stone foot and leg massage 2) leg exfoliation 3) relaxing scented lotion massage before you nails are painted. They also have a special for $32 you get a milk bath and other extras. read more

I'm from out of town and wanted to get a gel mani. It was $27 and there are like waves in the paint on my nails. They also take their sweet time. Which was bad for. Also not a very good paint job. read more

K & K Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I live in San Francisco and drive EVERY week to see Kitty. I've been doing this for over ten years. I am fiercely loyal to her & the business, entirely because of the exceptional service I receive every time. Full disclosure: I have a lot of cuticle and need a fair amount of trimming. I trust no one else to give as much attention or care to my hands and feet. I seriously can't say enough great things about K & K Nails. When you get your nails done, you'll understand what you've been missing at all these sub-par salons that speed through your service! read more

Kitty and Kim are both very talented, professional, pleasant and make the nail experience wonderful. In reading some of the reviews panning this business, I know that some of these people were late for their appointments or insisted on a last-minute appointment which couldn't be accommodated. They are clear examples of why Mill Valley is "the land of entitlement." Their reviews are not at all like my experience. Kitty works from sunup to sundown giving each customer the benefit of her incredible talent. Kim does great pedicures and treats my feet like they were her own. These two women are running this business themselves and doing a darn good job. Try it for yourself and form your own opinion - I know you will become a regular customer like I am. read more

Absolutely love Kitty & Kim! I've been going here for years, they definitely take good care of you! I will say this they are a two women show and do get booked up because they are that good! It's a MUST to make an appointment well in advance; you can't just walk in anytime. If you are someone that is sensitive to pain then this is NOT the nail place for you, they really get in there and clean out your cuticles weather it's mani or pedi. Eyebrow wax - AMAZING I don't know what it is but Kim has magical hands! I'm pretty picky when it comes to my eyebrows, she definitely takes her time and shapes them perfectly, not too thin and not too thick. Kitty! Kitty! Kitty! HILARIOUSLY FUNNY! She keeps it very real with you, reading some of these posts some think she comes off rude (Maybe because the location is in "Mill Valley" ) LOL but really she's just very blunt with a good heart. Anyway I rate this place if I could I'd rate them a 10. read more

Kitty has been consistently rude since second appointment. I no longer go there for my nails. I hated to go elsewhere as she DOES AN AWESOME FILL. Nothing happened that I'm aware of. I have observed and she has favorites and others she treats rudely. I'm guessing those she treats rudely comeback for same reasons I did. She does a great job. Yes there are nail salons everywhere but you don't know what you're getting until it's over. Anyhow, Kitty.. it's a bummer. I was consistently friendly, tipped you 20% and you simply couldn't even be decent. That's all I ask. Jerking my hands, talking in a snotty tone, speaking your language and clearly complaining about me, it's all BAD. It's bad for business. I treated to well and you're just not a nice person, it's that simple. Was it worth it Kitty? No. read more

Absolute worse customer service of any business of any kind! I walked into this horrible place this past weekend with a nail catastrophe (my freshly manicured toes and nails from another establishment chipped due to certain shoes I was wearing)... Hoping to either buy the color to fix it myself or wait for a polish change, I was rudely told by one of the associates that they didn't have my color, and they had no time. It was only 2 customers there and they were both finishing up. I said ok, can I just buy the color, as I located one that looked similar, only to have the bottle of Polish snatched out of my hands stating "that is not your color, no, no, no!" I was in Mill Valley visiting a friend, and I am there at least 5 times a month. These women have no idea, I could have become a regular customer, but after this treatment I will NEVER go back. Don't they realize there are nail shops on every corner. Rudeness does not have to be and will not be tolerated! If I could give negative stars I would. Stay away from this place. read more

K&K isn't fancy, but they are meticulous with nail care. Best place for nails.

Kitty and Kimberly of K and K nails are wonderful! They care about their patrons. Their salon is cheerful and clean. There is never a wait for a scheduled appointment. The manicures and pedicures are done in a precise and caring way. They strive to make every patron happy and pleased with the result. I would not consider going any place else. They are simply the best. Les read more

I mainly come here to get WAXED! If you want a great Brazilian bikini wax, look no further. Kimberly is fantastic. She initiated me..... And I'll confess I was really scared to do it. But she is so gentle and kind, and it really was a cinch! I couldn't believe how smooooooth it felt. She doesn't miss a hair! So if you've been thinking of taking the "plunge" don't be scared. Be bared! Oh! And I should mention the price - $35! :-)) read more

what a sh***y nail salon not only did the paint did not last BEFORE even leaving the salon but they thought they had an inspection and started talking about hiding this and that. not a good spot, colors dont last, nails are uneven, and obviously not clean if they're scrambling around trying to hide things. read more

I went to Kitty for many years when I lived in Marin, always careful with me since I am a diabetic. I only wish they had someone as good and caring up here since I moved 6 months ago to Grass Valley. I had one pedi and it only lasted a week or so, the pollish chipped off. When I went to Kitty, my pedi's lasted and lasted, they never once chipped off. I highly recommend K and K. They are caring, clean and professional. I only wish I was closer than 2.5 hours away. Kitty would not do acrylics for me any more because my nails got too thin. She told me it was not good for me. Now I know she gave up money doing this, but it shows how caring she is about her customers health not just how good she can make them look. I miss you Kitty, a loyal customer. Lilli read more

I absolutely love kitty and kim....I have known them and have been clients for a very long time. They are professional, kind and my manicure and pedicures are always perfect! read more

I wanted to love this nail salon, however, I left with my feet hurting as much, if not more than when I arrived. The tech kept trying to convince me that the water was indeed NOT hot. I know, usually you've got to beg them to warm it up enough to be comfortable but this was the opposite extreme! It was only when I put my feet in the water yet again and pulled out red (1st degree burns-well, looked and felt like) that she added cold water! WTF? I don't care much for an insensitive service provider, whatever the service....how many times does one expect to be jabbed and cut (yes, now I'm bleeding) before enough is enough? Finally, a tough week at work last week resulted in a few blisters on my feet. She just ripped those healing woulds right off! You guessed it-more blood. Finally....the torture was complete and I really wanted to get up and run out of there and find a shot of tequila! Perhaps it would help to numb my poor feet! Anything positive you ask? She did a fair leg massage and a decent paint job, but sorry, I won't be back. Try getting some kindness and sensitivity people! $34 later, I limped to my car, thankful it was over. read more

I have been there several times. Agree that the service is very inconsistent. It also could be much cleaner. Only one person speaks English well. Had brow wax and the person doing the procedure pushed in my eyeballs. I had a 3:15 appt today...at 3:30 the person who was supposed to do my nails finally came out and said, 'do you have an appt?". Clearly they don't respect your time as being important. read more

I LOVE K & K!! Kitty and Kim are the best, I was referred by a client about 3 years ago and have been coming ever since. I bring friends and family all the time, 2 of my best girlfriends and my mom are now regulars as well. I only wish they were closer to my home, but these ladies are worth the drive! Any time I've tried somewhere closer, though, I get a terrible set of nails or a butchered pedicure that Kitty and Kim have to fix. I call them my nail doctors ;) The prices are very reasonable, especially for Southern Marin. And they have a prepay option that gets you every 11th service of your choice free. My nails can last a whole month without lifting, breaking, chipping, cracking...nothing. But I can't stay away that long, or I'd miss the hot stone massage pedi's too much! The shop is quiet and bright, right off the freeway in Tam Junction next to Subway. It's a great place to lose yourself for a few hours, relax in the massage chairs and let these ladies pamper you. read more

I went in to K&K today for a brazilian. It was fantastic. I didnt wait long at all and Kimberly did an excellent job. She was very thorough and gentle. Not to mention their price... 40 BUCKS!! I was going to Benefit in downtown, but their prices are pretty steep and I would never walk out of there without buying something too. I will be going to K&K from now on! read more
