The woman who did my nails was so rude. I asked her if she had any nail design ideas and she suggested cat eye nails I explained to her that I wasn't a fan. So says oh well my suggestion cost more money I know you. I said to her are you assuming that I don't have the money to pay mind you this is my first time here. Like what are you implying. She said ohh no I'm sorry. I said as a nail tech don't you know how to do more than one design‍She asked if the nail salon I usually go to charges for shaping because they don't like. The vibes were so uncomfortable. read more

I have NEVER had my nails done so at 59 I tried a Dip Powder and design. I made an appt and met with Mary who was pleasant, very thorough, and fast at doing my nails. The establishment is very clean and they used sanitized instruments. The hand/arm massage at the end was the best. Thank you, I will be back. read more

Kate's Spalon - Nail Salons Near Me - Greenville, Delaware

Yesterday, I realized my nails were looking rough and I decided to call Kate's on a whim- they got me in on the same afternoon! The location is beautiful and the staff were all very kind and accommodating. I ended up needing a complete gel refill and Linh was so kind as to take me on even though I was not originally in her schedule. She did a fantastic job, was very polite, and we had a great conversation! I will definitely be coming back. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Kate's Spalon - 4th of July nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Greenville, Delaware

Cute, clean, and friendly! I got a full dip set, a pedicure, and a wax - all services were done well!

I come here once in a while when I'm in the area, usually out of necessity. It's a very clean nail salon in a nice area, but the service is inconsistent. Some of the manicurists are so friendly but there are also a few others who are a little rude. Last time I came in I noticed that my pedicure had a few dents, so I came back in a few hours later to have them fixed. The pedicurist acted visibly annoyed that I came back (even though I left her an additional tip for fixing it and said that I'd wait until she had a free moment to fix them). Another patron came in with a similar complaint while I was there and she was given an attitude too. Also, even if you have an appointment you still often have to wait. I waited about 10 mins for my appointment, and I noticed 4-5 other patrons came in with appointments that were told they'd have to wait upwards of 15-20 mins. In terms of safety/cleanliness I think they do a really good job, but the service isn't the best. read more

Came in for a gel pedicure. First time client. I asked where the gel colors were and was waved over to a wall of nail polish with no further direction. I chose a color that I was later told was not gel. The manicurist was nice and quick but dropped the tools on the ground and didn't clean them. I didn't realize until I got home that she had completely messed up two nails. She didn't say anything or repair it and let me leave with them looking that way. Would not return. read more

Kate's Spalon - Nail Salons Near Me - Greenville, Delaware

I was appalled today by the statements made to me by a technician named Kate. I made an appointment for a pedicure and gel manicure. When I got there I confirmed it was pedicure and gel Manicure . After they place the foils on my nails to soak and started my pedicure I thought all was ok. After my pedicure was done the tech said we don't have time to do your gel Angel has another appointment. They said,"you'll have to wait". I told her that was fine. Then after she was doing my gel nails (the chair was near the front desk) she said " your nails are too difficult because of how they are shaped and we charge you no more for how difficult your nails are!" I was thinking this never came up before when Angel did my nails. I don't want to go back! I felt so insulted! I just cannot believe this girl could speak to me like this. I should have asked fir the manager or owner! I have never been told I was sooo difficult that I should be charged more because my nails are curved down mire. I am a health care provider and cannot even think about telling a patient that I should charge them more because they are more difficult! read more

i took my daughter to get a gel manicure and a pedicure. they didn't push or cut her cuticles on her hands then only did a base and a top coat of gel so the gel started chipping off after a couple hours. Guess they thought she was a kid so why do a good job. The. I had to take her to the podiatrist yesterday because she got an infection in her toe . i Spoke to Kate and she said she could redo my daughters nails but my daughter won't go back. Horrible experience. read more

See all

I love Kate's Salon and have been a loyal customer here for at least four or five years. I highly recommend their services. Kate works as hard as anyone I have ever seen to satisfy her clients. I have always been incredibly pleased by the level of personalized service here by Kate and her employees. On the extremely rare times I have had an issue with a nail breaking or chipping early, I have called Kate, and she was very happy to remedy the problem immediately to my satisfaction and without charge. Kate and her colleagues work with me to always give me exactly what I am looking for, no matter if it is the exact shape or color and I am very particular about what I want. I love Kate and her Spalon. I am sure you will also! My daughter, aunt, and mother even come here now, too! I would also add, as opposed to some other salons, parking is very easy. It is very safe here. The environment is beautiful, pleasant, and clean. In addition, to make sure that you and the nail artist are both fully satisfied, be sure to communicate exactly what you want, or if something hurts, of course, let them know immediately, ask them to change the technique, and don't suffer in silence. No one wants that. You want the best experience and so do they. I would recommend following this advice, no matter where you go! But again, you will not be sorry coming to Kate's Spalon. The prices are competitive, but the experience here is extraordinary. 10 stars, if I could! read more

The gal doing my pedicure was so distracted. Every time the door opened she would stop then whisper to the gal giving a pedi next to her. There was something going on. At one point she was clearly talking about me, I could tell by her gesturing with her eye to me as she had her palm by her face in hopes I wouldn't see. I am a. normal looking woman, my feet aren't hairy or anything (LOL) I was very uncomfortable. She talked me out of a gel mani to a "dip". Told me what color to use and handed me to the owner for mani. She continued to nick my cuticle. She explained her hands were sore from painting. There was no hand message or anything except dipping my fingers (that weren't even cleaned) into the powder which was a total different color than I had chosen for my gel. I left feeling very confused by the service. read more

Pedicure was so so at best. I've had better pedicure and service at multiple other places.

I have been coming here for a few years now, and the staff is always very friendly. It's easy to call and make an appointment, and I always get great compliments on my nails. I will always go back to Linh - she is very kind and talented. read more

My go to spot for manicures and pedicures. All the ladies are great.10/10 recommend. The best dip manicure I have gotten in the area. Clean and conveniently located in Greenville with lots of parking. read more

I absolutely love this place and the service is unbelievable and they always go above and beyond. they always want to make sure you're comfortable and you're well taken care of. The owner is always there working and even though all the ladies are amazing, Angel is fantastic and I always book with her. Come check this place out for all your spa needs! read more

Kate and her team are amazing! It's my favorite nail salon in DE. Every time I go in the salon, whether I have an appointment or not, Kate always fits me in. I love how they treat all their customers like family. They get me in and out as quickly as possible but always do a beautiful job!! It's a very clean salon and so relaxing. read more

Quality manicure, service is lacking. Best gel manicures I have gotten in the area, high-quality polish and lasts 1.5 weeks for me. I have gone here 5 times and the service is always mixed, I came in on a Friday two hours before closing time and felt like I was a burden for being there. They rushed through the manicure and were so ready to get out of there, I told them not to worry about the lotion/ hand massage. Cleanliness is okay, I am picky about pedicures and I am not sure if I would 100% get one here, based on my observations of their cleaning routine after each customer. For gel manicures, above average and I will continue to go back. Only wish was that they were a little less expensive and a little friendlier. read more

Kate's Spalon - The pumice was used with such force it made a hole on my foot. Nails were cut & shaped unevenly and polish applied terribly. beware... - Nail Salons Near Me - Greenville, Delaware

We had a fun time and are extremely happy with the lovely and expert mani pedis for our bridal party! We got the gel and dip powder. Very clean facility and friendly staff! We highly recommend them. We would certainly return if we weren't visiting the area from far away. NB- the location is on the backside of the grocery store. read more

I like a nail salon that does waxing too! I like that they have a private room for waxing services - some places don't - I hate being on display when getting my lip waxed! I always enjoy my visit. The techs are professional and friendly. They have a ton of stations and staff so your wait isn't long. They have a nice selection of colors - regular and gel. They can accommodate groups - you just have to call ahead. Tip: If you need to get in and out fast call ahead - they will tell you when to stop in - I do it all the time. read more

Thought this was a nice salon based on the name and website, but clients treated like cattle and seems staff probably treated a lot worse. I got a 'spa' pedicure which lasted all of 10 minutes, technician rushed through and the nail trimming was painful. If you want a quick mani-pedi this might be for you, but not if you really want a spa treatment. read more

I read through some of these reviews and was honestly shocked. This is where I've come for my manicures and pedicures for the last 3 years and have always had exceptional service from Kate. All the girls are friendly and happy to see you when you come in. This salon is the cleanest in Delaware in my opinion I've gone through many. It's very nicely decorated and always clean... Not sure about the other reviews here I just think they intended to sway others with exaggerated claims after not being as pleased as they expected. I've never had any issues at all I love this salon. read more

I have been going here for a few years now and I love it. It's very clean and spacious, just like a spa. My gels last for weeks and if I accidentally get a chip they will fix it for free! My only complaint is that there is no online booking, I have to call to make an appointment and that can be a hassle. When they can do online booking I will give five stars! read more

I have been getting my gel nails done here for years and the service is outstanding!! The entire staff is friendly and professional! My daughter gets fancy designs and the artwork is great!! The owner Kate welcomes everyone as they all in the spa!! I highly recommend!! read more

Cleanliness is big for me. First I noticed they didnt wipe down the table top with any cleaner, they rinsed out the bowl with acetone in it nd did not sanitize or disinfect it. And the lady burnt me with a hot towel, no apology or anything, then still didnt ask if it was too hot...it was too hot. Then put scented lotion over my burn?? Who does that? Also tools we're in a pre-sealed envelope but when she opened them, they looked dirty. The one had brown stuff on it and it was not used on me, thank God! Over manicure job was sub par... read more

I have been getting manicures on a regular basis for over half my life, and my recent experience with this salon was easily the worst, most unprofessional manicure I've ever been subjected to. I was a walk-in on Saturday morning, and asked if they had availability for a gel manicure. They told me to pick a color, have a seat, and the manicurist (she didn't bother to wear a name tag or introduce herself so I regrettably can't identify her) started my nails. About 2 minutes into my manicure, someone enters the salon, and my manicurist excitedly greets her and begins chatting with her about some new polish color. She gets up from doing my nails, sets up the new girl in a pedicure chair, and comes back to where I'm sitting. She immediately starts SPEEDING through my manicure, glopping on the polish in thick coats and not letting it dry completely under the UV lights between coats. Once all the coats of the polish were done, she left me unattended, and walks over to start her friend's pedicure without saying a word to me. A couple minutes later, another employee sees me sitting there, walks over, and gives me a half-hearted attempt at a hand massage since my original manicurist apparently couldn't be bothered to complete the service I was paying for. Manicurist #2 did not bother to do a hot towel, or shine my nails at the end with alcohol like they typically do at the end of a gel manicure, and I received no explanation or apology from Manicurist #1. From the time I sat down at the manicurist's station to the time I left, 14 minutes had elapsed. That is absolutely unacceptable for a $30 service. If the manicurist did not have time to do my nails adequately, she should have told me that they couldn't accept a walk-in at the moment. I would rather have no manicure than the abysmal hack job I'm currently sporting. It is also worth noting that during the 14 minutes I was actually attended to, the manicurist cracked her gum in my face repeatedly and read texts while doing my nails. Not exactly the relaxing experience I'd hoped for. My nails are already showing wear 3 days later. I have bumps and bubbles in the polish from where she rushed, and from her failure to dry my nails using the proper gel manicure procedures. I will not be returning. read more

One of the best spa pedicures I've ever had! The hot stone massage is such a nice touch. This place may be a bit more expensive than some places in the area but I definitely have not had the quality of service either. All the techs are very caring and precise. It is clean and comfortable. I'd highly recommend Kate's. read more

Didn't even know this place was here, but a friend is a regular and wanted to treat, so I was game! Friendly and clean. Nice selection of polish. Had the regular pedicure for $30. Nothing wowed me, but it was relaxing and hit the spot. Would probably return if I lived out that way- when we did live out there, you had to drive 20-25 minutes to find a place for a pedi. All in all- decent. read more

Very clean place, peaceful and inviting environment. The people were nice abs they did a great job.

Just visited Kate's and absolutely enjoyed my experience. Met up with co-workers and all 6 of us got a mani and/or pedi. Very clean place and there were tons of great nail polishes to pick from. Would absolutely return. read more

Great salon! The staff was nice enough to take a last minute appointment for both a gel manicure and full pedicure. I very much appreciate that the salon and tools were very clean. Cleanliness is a top priority when i choose a salon and Kate's was great! Would recommend you make an appointment because they can get busy. read more

Have been going to Kate's for almost 7 years now and I've never had a bad experience. The technicians are skilled, the prices are competitive and the salon itself is immaculate. The fills for my gel manicure last nearly 3 weeks. The massage chairs they use for pedicures are marvelous and the salon offers waxing services as well as manicures and pedicure. I most appreciate the staff's attention to detail and the cleanliness of the place. I've watched the staff clean basins and surfaces (and some of the comments I read here sound like a deliberate attempt to tarnish the salon's image) and they are fastidious about scrubbing and polishing all surfaces. I've never been to a salon as clean and well maintained as Kate's. read more

Tried Kate's when Zyng was too busy too fit me in. Will be coming here in the future. Very pretty salon, relaxing atmosphere. Staff was caring and helpful. They did an excellent job. Thanks Kate's! read more

I am on my 2nd and half week with my dip nails and they are chipped already. First, they took off my dip nails incorrectly. I asked why and the woman (I think her name was Lin) insisted that they did not have to soak my nails to take it off because it took too much time. Already signaling that she wanted to rush through. After using the cotton and aluminum method she did not clean or shape my nails. Instead she used the harsh buffing tool to scrap off the rest of the dip powder which hurt like hell. She was not gentle and when I told her it stung a bit she said it's suppose to. That has never happen in all my years of getting dip powder. I recently moved to DE from ME and I never went through this. I asked her why she did not clean and shape my nails and her response was that it was an additional step and that she would shape after putting the dip powder on. Nothing about cleaning my nails. After noting that other clients were getting their nails cleaned before applying gel she said that the process was different with gel. Doubtful that my nails would last long enough for a wedding the following week, she insisted that it would as she rushed through her poor work with me. Kate's Spalon was recommended to me by fellow DE folks as a highly regarded nail salon but it seems that they have already established their clientele in the Greenville area and gave no regard for new clients. What a disappointing and traumatic experience. If I could rate them a zero I would. HORRIBALE PLACE -- save your money and go somewhere else. They over charge for poor quality and unprofessionalism. Go to Paradise Nails Bar in good ol Wilmington where they treat new clients with respect and the service is top notch! read more

Just visited this nail salon this week. Unlike the review from Maggie, the staffs were very professional and the salon was exceptional clean. No Acrylic Odors which I liked a lot. They have new pedicure chairs that was very comfortable.See Kate and Vinny if you want the best experience. Highly recommended! read more

Kate's spalon was professional, convenient and gave us a warm welcome for our girls day. Would go back in a heartbeat! Best salon I've been to in a while! read more

This is the nicest nail salon in Wilmington. It is always immaculate as well as peaceful and relaxing.The owners Kate and Kevin are always finding new ways to improve on their already great product. The spa pedicure is an hour long and absolutely wonderful. It includes an intense and heavenly massage with hot stones. The staff is warm, friendly and very hard working. read more

I have been going to Kate's since it opened! The staff is outstanding and has a exception personal touch. I travel all over the country and still wait to come back home to have my Mani Pedi. Tried other expensive spas in other parts of the U.S. but nothing compares to the attention to detail and service level you receive at Kate's. Congrats to Kate's for doing a great job! read more

I am from Chicago and when I moved to Greenville, DE it was difficult to find a nail salon on the scale I was accustomed to. This was over 5 years ago and I am very happy to say at this salon Vinny is the best at what he does. He cares, he gets to know you, and he takes his time. One of the things that concerned me was it would be a get them in get them out mentality. Just about the money. I will say that I can see some echoes of that starting to happen. As they continue to grow and make even more money the customer service aspect of it seems to go away. It seems to become about hurry up and get them in and out. Now that they have some actual competition in the area with some very good nail techs at other salons. It would not serve them well to continue on that path. I hope they can continue with talented and caring techs like Vinny, Maia, Joanne. They are incredible techs and the salon is super clean! Again I hope the owners take note read more
