Kay's Nails

I've been going to O'leisure since I was 18, and now at 26, they've never disappointed me. My usual…read moresalon is the National City location, but I was in the Midway area today and decided to give that location a try for the first time and I'm so glad I did! All I can say is I'm beyond impressed and completely satisfied. The team always knows how to take care of me and really listens to exactly what I want when it comes to my nails and shaping and they nail it every single time! Highly recommend coming here. Midway might just be my new go to spot!

If you want gel x- MAKE SURE THE TECH KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY START!…read more I came in for gel x and the woman (didn't get her name) had no idea what she was doing. She got glue/builder gel all over my skin which can contact dermatitis. I told her to remove it and just do acrylic since I've gotten reactions before and she fought me on it and told me it'll be okay once it's done. I almost walked out of the salon.. Thuan then came to my rescue and took it all off and did a great job with my acrylics. Unfortunately the 30 minutes of it being on my skin was 30 minutes too long because my skin is literally peeling off. I paid over $120 for my fingers and toes plus tip which is STEEP considering why my hands look like 2 weeks later. I also tipped the woman who did the gel x because I felt bad for wasting her time on me..

The salon is clean, comfortable, and even has refreshments. There's also parking and it's super easy to get to, which is rare in San Diego. Most importantly, my nails are simply stunning.

Highly recommend seeing Linh!

I opted for the "classic" ($31) pedicure and before my tech took care of my scraggly feet, she offered me a beverage. I opted for a water and she handed me a little bottle of cold water. Much appreciated! Then she proceeded to soak, scrub, clip, massage, and polish her way to making my poor footsies look presentable again. She did a great job, and I will certainly return. A few notes: if you use a debit card you'll be charged a 3.5% fee, tips in cash are appreciated, they do have an atm, but I'm not sure how much the fee is for taking out cash. Lastly, there is plenty of parking in the huge shared parking lot.

I'm super basic so I always go for neutrals or light colors but am never disappointed. The prices are reasonable for the area but the expertise is above quality! It's so clean and the ambience fosters a very light and airy feeling! I have my favorite/go-to technicians, but they all deserve a fair chance! Call ahead, book a double service (pedi/mani) and enjoy the results!

That's right, I'm talking to you person that rated Kuko a one star coz you said you somehow can't find the building and NOT because of the service itself. how do you miss the big ol signs on it? Now for the actual nail review. Shannen is the first nail artist I've ever been to and this is the second time she has done my nails. She was super kind with telling me the difference between all her services (she offers many different types that I got overwhelmed coz again, I'm new to this). She is also a perfectionist with her nail art which I appreciate. She makes sure that the details are on point and if they aren't, she isn't gonna half ass it and shrug it off. She will fix it even if it means she has to do it again. I really really recommend her. She is very talented. The service is also super great. She's personable plus her place is so cute :D the vibes is vibing

Here they did an amazing job, nothing was cut, they were super precise, paid attention to all of the small details to ensure all nails matched. The basic pedicure comes with a hot towel for your feet. I also had an ingrown toe nail and they were so good about it. Didn't cut it down and let it grow out! I was so beyond impressed. I had one of the owners Rosa and she was so lovely and nice. They also speak English which made it so easy to explain what I wanted, and make an appointment. I was also 30 minutes late to my appointment and they still saw me! Inside was super clean, and the pedicure massage chairs were brand new, super comfy.

When I told the service provider what I wanted, she said "no it doesn't look good; do white" to which I told her I like the tip color. March '26, I requested THE SAME THING from THE SAME WOMAN and she refused. She had another worker tell me. "She doesn't want to use your color because it's too sheer and she would have to do two coats". I wanted what I wanted CAUSE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, but I didn't go back and forth and just told her no French tip. My acrylic was laid very THICK and I didn't bother like my nails overall. (Attached photo) After my service, I paid and tipped my pedicure service provider because she actually did what I wanted and did not tip the manicure provider because she REFUSED to do what I asked. She then yelled towards me as I walked out. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wouldn't go if you plan to get your nails how you would like!
