    Spooky Fun Halloween Fun! And nails for every occassion.

    Beautiful nails and creations with design and byilt artwork. Thank you Kat! Friendly cashier, staff. Busy location. Traveled to Paris without the cost!

    Doing my entire toes black

    Asked for acrylic overlay with black French tip and received the opposite. Insisted on adding acrylic nail and did full nail black. Even though I continued to advise what I wanted totally disregarded my wishes

    Messy nails
    Rubi E.

    UPDATE: there is now pus coming out of the side of the toe that was cut!!!! Yesterday I was across the street and decided to get a pedicure. I called to see if they accepted walk-ins since it was close by. Although I had read the reviews, I'm the type of person who likes to try things for myself and form my own opinion. The lady on the phone was very nice and said they had availability. When I arrived, I waited about 4 minutes while they got the person who would be doing my pedicure. I was on limited time, so when they asked what I was getting done, I told them just a pedicure. They suggested I get my nails done too, so I asked how long it would take if I did both. They said they could do them at the same time, so I agreed. The lady who did my pedicure was so nice. She took her time and asked about the color and shade I wanted, definitely a sweetheart. Although I did get cut on my big toe (and it still hurts and is a bit swollen), I think she did a great job aside from that. I believe her name was Daisy. However, the lady who did my nails was a bit aggressive and rushed the entire time. I told her I wanted my natural nails with a burgundy gel color. She started prepping my nails, but then I saw her take out a box of fake nails. I got confused and told her I didn't want acrylics. She said, "Oh no, don't worry, this isn't acrylic--you're okay." I repeated that I just wanted gel polish on my natural nails, and she insisted that what she was doing was better and would protect my nails. At that point, I didn't want to argue, so I let it go, but it was not what I asked for. As she continued, she asked what color I wanted, and I told her I wanted the same burgundy as my toes. The person doing my pedicure was still using that color, so instead she grabbed a red polish and started painting my nails. That completely threw me off, no one has ever done that before. I assumed it was just a base layer and that she would finish with the correct color, which she eventually did. On top of that, my nails came out thick and messy. There was polish on the edges of my nails and even on the back of my fingers. For some reason, she also filled the back of my right thumbnail with glue, so now it's bulky underneath. For all of this, I paid $122 plus a $25 tip, totaling $147 for a set of nails that I didn't even ask for and that turned out poorly. I'm not the type to argue unless necessary, but now I have to find another place to remove these nails and get what I originally wanted. Also, I didn't receive a receipt showing the breakdown of the services. Overall, please listen to the reviews. That said, Daisy was very sweet, and if I ever come back, it would only be to see her

    Receipt of extra charge for disposable files

    They add at the end a disposable file charge. They make it seem like is a gift and add it to the total. I have gone 3 times to which they have added it. The last time I said I didn't want the disposable files the lady in the front gave me attitude said it was part of the charge, to which I stated that I did not ask for it nor needed

    reciept

    SCAM! I've been here about 3 times and every single time i've left feeling robbed. I asked for a fill on my gel x set and had her cut them down and asked for a design... ok but what was repaired??? BS! I'm also pregnant so i decided to spoil myself with a VIP pedicure, first of all i get charged for her to remove my old color.. that i got with them lol but second of all come to find out the lady added acrylic to my big toe without my permission which is the reason for the "repair" fee on the pedi. RIDICULOUS AF! and the cherry on top that disposable file they give you at the end you assume is free? NOPE! they charge you for it. In my case they charge me 2x because they used one for my pedi and one for my mani, not only are we paying for an expensive ass service but we're also paying for the products they use on us without knowledge. and then if you look at the bottom they still charged me AGAIN for the files as a "product fee" this place is ridiculous. THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU SN ITEMIZED RECIEPT UNTIL YOU PAY! The lady at the front desk will purposely have a huge language barrier so that if you confront her about it she'll have no clue what you're talking about. I will never come here again and the nails are mediocre asf for the price. Heavenly nails spa in santa ana is 10x better if you want more bang for your buck, so is Top3DNails! ladies please steer clear

    My sisters, mom, and I have been coming to Kathy's Nails since we were kids in high school and now in my 40's this is still the only place I trust to regularly do an amazing job on my claws. They've always treated me as a valued guest and welcomed me like family. If you're looking for fun art and designs ask for Miss Lisa or Miss Kat, and Miss Cindy will make sure you're taken care of. Any of these talented ladies can do wonderful work to help you leave looking fierce!

Unfortunately, the customer service and payment experience completely ruined our visit. From the moment we walked in, Salem at the front desk came across as rude and unwelcoming. Then there were multiple issues with our bill. We were first told we had been undercharged, then overcharged, and we were also given the wrong ticket amount. On top of that, my mother attempted to withdraw $300 from their ATM, but the machine only dispensed $180. We were told she would receive a refund for the missing money, but she still has not received it. What bothered me most was Salem's attitude when I questioned all of the changing prices and incorrect charges. Instead of apologizing or trying to calmly explain what happened, she told me, "That's just how we work here." When I expressed that I was unhappy with the situation, she even told me that if I didn't like it, I didn't have to come back. Then, after all of this, they called me again saying that they had undercharged me. The nail technicians deserve recognition because Kim and Diana were great, but the front desk customer service and the way the payment issues were handled were extremely disappointing. With so many billing problems in one visit, I would strongly recommend checking your receipt carefully before leaving and keeping documentation of any refunds you are promised. I definitely won't be going back.

After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.
