I just had the best service ever at Karina's Nail. I have had many good experiences and a few so so, but at Karina's they strive to please their customers. I am happy that I didn't give up on them. My experience today was amazing provided by Ema, I think her name is. Very professional and kind. She did an amazing job and she didn't take too long. I pass about 50 nail shops before I get to Karina's but I will always choose Karina's. A nail shop that cares

Gel manicure

Sean (not sure on the spelling) did my daughter's nails and "she ate up" and "left no crumbs." My daughter was so happy with her nails and even though she was struggling with what she wanted and liked, Sean was very patient. Manni also did amazing with my gel manicure. He was as sweet as can be and didn't cut me at all. I guess I can say "he ate up."

Chipped polish on 3 day old gel polish. Looks and feels like regular polish

The young black lady at the front counter...can't recall her name but she appeared to be the manager maybe reached out to me to offer to redo the service and I felt that was outstanding. Glad they paid attention! I went back today and got a gel French mani and regular French pedi. I think the young ladies that worked on me are Tyra or maybe it's Kyra and Meli. Everyone was fast and friendly and the service was great and I love my hands and feet! I would definitely recommend them because they didn't hesitate to try to correct the situation!

Dip powder w/mani on my natural nails.  I had to re-file them a bit, but that's ok.  I'm picky about my filing, lol.  It's all good.

I've been going here for about a year or so. This is the first place I ever got a dip powder manicure. I've always done acrylic or shellac. I much prefer the dip. My nails have never been in better shape. They do a good job here. I usually have a different person each time, but I've never really had any major complaints about anyone. I prefer my nails short, so there's really nothing much to complain about. Sometimes acrylic or shellac or even gel polishes can turn out a little thick for my taste, and the dip is just thin enough to satisfy me. The nail tech wasn't very chatty, which is ok for me, bc neither am I. Some people want to conversate the whole time; I don't, lol. As for pedicures, the jelly pedi is the only one I've ever done here and it's great. Feels really weird, but good. Only complaint I'd have on the pedi, is they can never cut my ingrowns (the edges of my nails) the way I feel like they need to be. But, if you don't have a problem with ingrown toenails, that wouldn't be a deterrent for you. All in all, I'd recommend a pedi from here.

Service is always prompt. Excellent work as always by Tati!! I never have to wait and recieve the same quality of work every time.

This was by far the worst nail service I've ever received in my entire 30 years on this earth. I'm was visiting Memphis and needed to get my nails done before everything closed down due to the Coronavirus. Well i called before and was told that they weren't taking appointments, only walk ins. So i was prepared to wait about an hour. When i got there around 345 PM, i was very pleased with the setup of the salon. It was very clean and chic! I was only coming for a gel nail polish change which should take about 30 mins w/o an wait. I was told to go wait in the waiting area until a tech became available-cool. After about 45 minutes, what i believe to be one of the assistants came and soaked and wrapped my nails while i was waiting in the waiting area. I was ok with that considering 8 people were at the table waiting for 1 of the 3 technicians to start on their nails. As i continued to wait, one of the women getting serviced had a disagreement with the tech about her color. Who i believe to be owner, Karina, argues with the member about the color the member req compared to the color she actually got. In between arguing with the member, they talked in their foreign language which I'm pretty sure was about her. That woman left the establishment but not before saying to them how rude they were and that they shouldn't assume that people here can't understand their language. Still i waited to be taken to a service table. After about an hour, the assistant came and signaled for me to come to the back where he placed me at a table that had someone else's nails who they previously clipped. No one ever stopped to clear the table. Sitting at that table for another 45 minutes, i then asked how long it would be before someone started on my nails. One tech ignored me, but Karina answered "another 15-20 mins". I said ok and continued to wait. An older tech (also the one who ignored my question) then came to the table very abruptly and aggravated. She began taking my foil off my fingers & began clipping my nails, not even asking if i wanted them cut or how short. I then asked for them to be a bit shorter and oval at the tip. She said that they can't do oval because my nails or short. I said what do you mean? I just don't want them box at the end, i prefer them oval. She then began talking to Karina in their foreign language. After all of that, she ovals my nails just as i asked. The entire times she was doing my nails, she was coughing, not in her elbow but just behind her-not covering her mouth in any way. She kept polishing my nails then wiping it off with her bare finger and doing it over and over again. She didn't clean the ends of my nails by filing them at the end, she just left all the loose ends. OH! BUT IT GETS BETTER!!! Once she was done with my nails, i was looking at them with disappointment. The older tech asked if i like them, i responded yes but said they're a little messy on the tips, i feel like you were rushing. Karina, standing right next to me tending to another customer, looks over and say "honey, you can leave because you've been rude the entire time." I said excuse me??? I've literally sat here for an hour and 45 mins and asked only once how much longer would it be before getting my nails done. How was i being rude.?!" Karina looked and said well what did you want me to do about it. I looked back at her and said i didn't ask YOU to do anything, i only wanted the tech to clean it up-but i will kindly leave. As I'm walking away, Karina says "bitches like that"..i immediately stop in my tracks and say i rather be bitch than a coward-but you got the right bitch today! The older tech then chimes in and calls me a Whore...not a hoe, but a whore which i found to be very funny considering she couldn't even understand English 30 mins ago. But i took my ass right on out the salon at 613PM.I do NOT recommend you spend your money at this establishment. Not only are they under staffed, but Karina, the owner, the one who is supposed to lead her staff and show great customer service was by far the worst of them all!!!! Not only was i going to pay, but was even going to leave a generous tip considering that they were working doing the Coronavirus! I will NEVER go back to nail salon again! Update: 4/5/20: 12 days after service I've decided to do an update on this review.12 days after this service,my nails look a mess! The gel polish is very poor and it already pealing! Smh (additional pictures added)

Omg so I just wanted to update that anyone at this salon will kill your nails weather you get press on style or full set acrylic. I'm so over the moon with my nails! Thank you America and my sis can't stop showing everyone her nails! Thanks to Maria!!!! If you ask for these girls you'll be in great hands! See you in a month!!!!

My nails less than 24 hours

This is what my shellac looks like on day 5. I have never had shellac fade. Stay away from Katrina's

He drilled to low inside this nail...didn't say a word so I didn't realize to say anything on time unfortunately.

So I got my nails done for my birthday in October they are cute from a far just not up close where I could see quite bit of flaws on the nails and the polish while and after getting them done. The guy that did my nails he did ok for doing basic French. I got a full set, medium/short, French tip and acrylic and white polish for the tips. The guy who did my nails was nice but I feel like my nails look as if he's still practicing. I had already asked him to fix a few things so the stuff I didn't notice wasn't seen until I got home unfortunately. Nice place employees seem to be respectful & cordial. He said his experience was 2 years so at the same time he needs more practice and that's understandable but I don't really want someone to be practicing on me or rushing to get done with short nails. I rather have a professional you know that knows exactly what they're doing if I'm paying $81 worth of work for a medium/short nails. I'd recommend this place just maybe better concern and care for customers nails throughout the entire process & honesty. He went from $65 to $81 & added 2 colors when I was waiting to pay & I did think that was a bit weird but hey I'm not trippin just wasn't a complete fan of his work & technique. Had to get them done again they didn't last 3 weeks.

Went in to get my nails done and staff was very rude. Completely overpriced as well. Not worth it.

They take appointment but when you get there you still need to wait for long hours. It's ridiculous!

Ask the Community - Karina's Nail

Any suggestion on what nail tech to go to? I've been to two different nail techs there and I was not happy with my nails.

I've been going to Karina's for about a year and a half now. I've always let whomever is available do my nails (I have gel nails). There have been a couple of techs that I wasn't very fond of and I wish I could remember their names. But there is… 

How Much Is This Holographic Or Chrome Nails?

Depending on gel polish or a full set, ranges from $45-$65

Does anyone know the price list or where I can find it?

Pedicure $28 Manicure &15 Pedi $ Mani $39…

First of all, the positives: - The staff at the front was…read morevery friendly - It's easy to get an appointment - The complimentary Malibu Barbie drink was very tasty - The shop is very clean The negatives: - The reason it's easy to get an appointment (at least on Sunday when we went) is because they only take walk-ins on Sundays - The old fashioned was very over poured - The system for marking what you want is so bad that the staff doesn't even want to use it so they just have you put in the first item and then they edit the ticket on the back end - I got a detox pedicure (Or at least that's what I wanted and asked for) and my wife got a gloss signature pedicure with gel and a French tip manicure with gel - Both of us got manhandled pretty significantly during our pedicures - The product wasn't adequately rinsed off - They cut my wife's cuticles and left her fingers bloody - There's barely any tip to the French tip - Nails were left at uneven lengths - The polish application wasn't even or neat - At checkout, the customer facing screen has the resolution so far off that you can't see what is being itemized - My wife asked for a gel manicure with an overlay. They had no idea how to do that. They asked if she wanted acrylics or gel. This is a service other places offer and they should know what this is - The polish is already chipping within a matter of hours - The guy who did my wife's nails seemed put out and gave a sigh of annoyance because she wanted her French tips to match her toes instead of just plain white tips.

This place is so nice! Im so happy that they are so hospitable, clean, and helpful. I was serviced…read moreby Kim who is very kind, and detail oriented while servicing. I got my nails dipped and had the detox pedicure which bith were great! My nails look uniform. My cuticles look nice. I would say the inky take away is that they buffering while shaping the nails was a little painful when shaping around the cuticle. With that said, she finished with cuticle oil and made sure that my nails were neat despite not getting the manicure. Ilof course it can come off pricey but the overall experience was very high quality so this will be the new staple for me.
