Been coming here for 4 years, service has gone from OK to bad to worse. Rude. Unprofessional. Careless. When they mess up they charge to fix it. Charge what they want to charge you. One day a full set will be 20, the next 28 and then 18. Wtf? Had a pedicure here once, I got an infection and Kathy rushed through it and cut me several times. My last and final full set was disgusting and within 3 days they popped off like press on nails from the drug store. When I called and spoke to Kevin he said he would fix it for full price. I tried explaining that it was their fault and it should be fixed for free, he laughed at me and said full price and hung up on me. Never again. I can't believe that they have customers still. read more

TERRIBLE!!!!!! I'm so pissed. Granted we went an hour before closing but the older woman who did my feet should have her license revoked. She first got upset about me telling her the color I wanted to match the powder was wrong, then she gave me two lazy ass coats plus the acrylic on my toe was lopsided. Like actual y=Mx+b slope type. Ask for Kevin. The lady on the other hand. NO. read more

After getting my nails done on 08/31/206, I decided to go back the next day and have someone fix them. Yes, as you can imagine the ladies were mad talking in their language and laughing but I don't care the joke is on them. The man who fixed my nails was pissed off the whole time, he literally threw a hot towel on my hands and told me to leave as soon as he was done. Now, the real problem is that now that I have removed the acrylics I have what I believe is either fungus or bacteria. & this is specifically caused because nail salons do not sterilize their materials. Of course I have already contacted Board of Barbering and Cosmetology for further investigation and they have contacted me back. Please avoid all this trouble PLEASE read more

RUN...AND NEVER LOOK BACK...HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been here multiple times back in the day to get my nails done. Haven't been in years due to relocation,I decided to go back about 3 weeks ago and spent $80 on a mani pedi and tipped $10. My Gel Mani done by Kathy started to peel off the following day. Despite that I went in for a service today and immediately was Rudely greeted with Kathy's bad attitude STRIKE1. I brought my sister in law in with me this time. we inquired about prices for certain services and she snapped at us telling us to just pick a color and to read the sign. STRIKE 2.She turned on the water for us to sit down. The water was cold but whatever right?. We sit there for a while before anyone starts working on us. Kevin comes over to start on my feet, as my sister in law is still waiting in her cold water. He starts working on me with tools he just used on his last client. STRIKE 3 not sanitary. My feet are itching as i type this review. I never leave bad reviews but ppl deserve to be warned about this place and how they treat paying customers. Kevin pushes the button and turned the water back on without realizing and the water starts to over flow. Kathy starts looking at me crazy like i did it STRIKE 4 . Kevin gets the mop to start cleaning the water up and the mop came with this thing that twists out excess water my sister wanted to know where he got it because she'd like one. I asked him where he got it and he then ignored me ..happen to know he speaks great English. STRIKE 5. I said can you hear me? Kathy says, what are you saying to him what are you talking about? I said I'm trying to talk to him and he's not responding and she said well why are you talking to him? i said, Why am i talking to him?STRIKE 6 ...like what ? I am a paying customer. So, i asked my sister if she wanted to leave she said lets just stay because we didn't have a lot of time and had lots to do. He polished my nails and the tissue touched my toe so it messed up ...i had him redo my toe and he did. i asked if i can get a fan on my feet and Kathy says are you leaving? forcefully trying to kick me out to leave. STRIKE 7.I said can i dry my feet? she points me over to a area to place my feet under a light where it was filthy and dusty and needed to be wiped i didn't want to place my feet on the floor STRIKE 8. The tissue bumps by toe again and messes up the polish. They already don't want me here, so i really hate to ask him again to re-polish my toe. I Shouldn't have to feel like I'm bothering someone for a service I'm paying for.He clearly is angry at this point and puts an even thicker coat on my toe which resulted in smudging again. i almost left this shop with messed up nails because i just felt so unwanted there and uncomfortable. When he fixed it this time he didn't top it with clear paint Kathy then tried to kick my sister out straight after getting her nails polished. She said she didn't need to dry her nails because she has sandals on? huh? i mean this was really poor service. It ended up with her yelling at me, Calling me weird for trying to talk to Kevin while getting my nails done. I am a very respectful young lady and I have spent too much money here to be treated this way. and i honestly don't talk much. I told her i will not be back and she said Good! It was horrible. I wish we left in the beginning. I Guess i was too happy for her or something or too black and happy lol. I won't let her steal my joy or my peoples money. ITS USUALLY AN ACCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE BUT KATHY REALLY SHOWED HER TRUE RUDE ASS TODAY...MY MOTHER WARNED ME AND IM WARNING YOU PLEASE DON'T GO HERE! read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! They were so rude and charged me more then what they said when I walked in and argued with me. She said $18 for acrylics but then charged me $25 since mine were "medium length" and then got rude with me and said "you want $18 nails I'll cut then" since I guess short acrylic nails are only $18. She literally was right about to cut them as they were finished and painted and I said no just leave it I'll pay the $25!I've never felt the need to leave a bad yelp review but this was the worst experience and I want to warn people not to come here. read more

Kevin's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Carson, California

I used to be a regular customer with my Mother but we have found a better Nail Salon in Carson. Kevin and his sister Kathy are unprofessional. They do not greet clients when they walk in. When Kathy did my pedicures, she was rough and too fast. The end result were my toes were subpar but she rushed through appointments. Once, I asked Kevin where a trash can was and he got an attitude! On many occasions, Kevin embarrassed my Mom by saying her appointment was at another time then when they originally spoke on the phone. And when he makes mistakes, he does not apologize. Overall, DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Hmmmm. I use to like this place, but the service has gone down. They rush thru everything, my pedicure took less then 20 minutes. I rather pay more for better service read more

Don't go here! They lie to your face telling you one price and then telling you another once the job is done. Trying to say that the gel by itself is $30 and an additional $14 for pedicure! Complete bull****!!!!! I am never coming here again! read more

Don't get a gel manicure! My old polish was drilled off instead of soaked off. The new gel was applied too thick, was jammed into my cuticles and looked rippled with small craters where the top coat wasn't evenly applied. Just horrible and NOT worth the $30 price tag! read more

Been coming to this location for many years! Best customer service!!! Kathy is really nice

I have been coming to Kevin's Nails for over eight (8) years. Not once have I experienced any of the horrible situations that I've read posted. Kevin, Kathy and the rest of the staff have always been courteous, respectful and professional from what I've witnessed. At Kevin's nails, I have had waxing, nails, gel nails, facials......and not once have I been disappointed. They are fast and good. They use the best products, not trying to stretch the polish or squeezing bottles while I have to sit and wonder "why the heck do these places start running out of product when they get to me?" as far as being pricey.....I would rather pay a little more for the best and get going rather than pay for a cheap shoddy job. I get compliments all the time and questioned about who did my manicure, pedicure and these are my natural nails.....Polish lasts over two (2) weeks. It is good if you have an appointment, though they will take walk-ins at their convenience which may not be convenient for you. We must remember he is running a business and you know what businesses do. You really do get your money's worth and I would give them ten (10) stars if I could. read more

I went in on November 20, 2015 in afternoon to learn they are using unlicensed people to do mani-pedi. When I asked for license they got angry, where before they said they were opened then said they were closed and get out. One man pulled a license out a drawer and could not prove it was his. It is not a clean place and to make It worse Bhudda meet you at the door. Unlicensed persons can cause serious problems cutting on you and not knowing sanitation, infections, amputations, etc. BEWARE. read more

Love my pedicure, very kind, didn't rush, offer free water, didn't mind that I had my baby just

This is one of the worst nail salons ever!! I wish I didn't have to leave the 1 star!!! The service is horrible and the woman who does the waxing just sucks! She is quick, rude & unskilled. She always leaves a lot of left over hair and she is messy!! Try and tell Kevin that she messed up and the service is sub par and he becomes defensive and very rude! Like you craped off your own eyebrows and nails!!?? WTF! Anyway, service sucks!! Do not go here! I tried his place multiple times and they always fell short!! There are too many salons in the area to be bothered!!! Not worth your Money or time!! read more

Wasn't a bad experience for me. The staff was friendly and efficient. They took great care of the job they did. I told them I was in a hurry and they did my full set and my pedicure quickly but efficiently. It is a tad bit pricey just a little but If your in a hurry it's not a bad place at all read more

Thank you so much for my nails. I always love my nails and the service!!!! Shout out Kevin and Kathy!

They were clean, quick and easy. Basic pricing and great customer service. I would come back.

Loved the spent on my feet plus the price was great.

TRASH!!! If I could give them 0 stars I would... went with my grandma and the lady there was SO rude to her and on top of that gave my grandma the completely wrong color after not only saying it twice but they also repeated it to me and after expressing that it was the wrong color they didn't even try to fix it. They absolutely DO NOT care about their customers... also my grandma told the lady that her nail was crooked and she replied with "your fingers crooked not the nail" then proceeded to make faces while my granma was talking even though we were trying to be nice to her (I think the ladys name is kathy) a complete waste of money and time... read more

I was visiting my aunt in the neighborhood on a Sunday and walked in for a pedicure . Very clean and relaxing . I enjoyed it. My nails are pretty !! read more

I've been going to Kevin nails for over 10 years excellent service I love my Kathy excellent work always come to Kevin nails to get my pedicure manicure eyebrows got to check them out they are the best in Carson .. read more

Don't go here. They are rude, money hungry, and over priced. I went to get a gel mani and pedi and they was trying to charge me 61 dollars and then she took the price down to $47 I shouldn't even have paid that. I will never go back there again. Alert do not go here I repeat do not go here. She tried to call the police on me because I told her I wasn't paying 61 dollars and she kept telling me to get out. Very Very bad customer service ! read more

This is the worse shop that I have even been to, I tried going there at three different times, first two , not good, but was in a crunch, the third time I was there early and told my operator that I was going to be about 10 or 12 minutes late, she said "OK", then Kevin the owner yelled at me in front of a room full of people because I was late, tried to explain that I had spoken to the operator, and she said it was OK, his response was "this is my house, and I make the rules", needless to say I haven't been back. read more

They are HORRIBLE. I went in saying I wanted gel. The nail tech was rushing and it hurt. She began to polish my nails and because I dont get them done very often I was a bit unsure of the gel process. When she finished I asked was this gel? And she responded no this is cheaper. I said I didn't ask you for cheaper I asked you for gel. I was in a rush, on my way to my sister's rehearsal dinner. She got an attitude and didn't want to do what I asked her for, mind you I was also paying for my 2 daughters to get their nails done. This is not the 1st time they were horrible. The only reason I was there was my husband took my girls there while my beautician finished my hair and the moment he told me I was upset. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Crooks, EXPENSIVE, not clean at all. They hide an push you for higher products. Poor quality of work and service. I will never go there again. read more

Scariest place on earth for nails! I'm sorry, I don't care if you're my kind and Vietnamese, but there needs to be change otherwise you guys will be out there begging for change. I called ahead and they quoted me $25 when I asked them for a "full gel set" and to come on in (I did 30 mins later) bc there wasn't a wait. Upon arrival, there was already one customer for nails and me and then like ten workers? First of all, I previously went to The Nail Shop in Carson bc they are good (esp Lena!) but always packed and hard for me to get in. I was overdue on my fills bc of prom, out of town, etc so I decided to basically rip off my nails myself so you can imagine how short and out of shape they were. I was in the midst of growing them back, but missed having nice nails and The Nail Shop was overbooked so I decided to give Kevin's Nail a shot. With the condition of my nails, you'd think they'd suggest or even understand that I should have some tips added before you paint my short scraggly nails with some gel polish. I was talking to the girl next to me and the worker who asked me 20 questions that I didn't notice I was tipless. Instead of offering to re-do, she said next time when I come in, ask for tips+gel. Also, this "mani + gel" cost $30, if I wanted tips, think it was another $18. The Nail Shop in Carson charges me $25 for a FULL set and so do most nail shops. My nails look like a 3 year old painted them, I mean really? REALLY???? read more

Just experienced THE WORST treatment I've ever had at a nail salon. I walked in with the intention of a pedicure and gel colored hand nails. They told me my nails would look ugly because my nails were too short. I decided to go with their suggestion, try the acrylic nails (mind you I've had acrylic nails done in the past many times). I make it clear to him I want my nails short and thin, natural looking. At the time I'm sitting on the chair and the lady doing my pedicure is rough with my nails, and when I tell her how I wanted my nails she gave me attitude. I didn't make it a big deal---I then started noticing the man doing my acrylic cut my nails too long, I asked to shorten them and told him the nails were cut uneven to my other hand. He said he'd fix them after--he continues to put the powder acrylic on and they looks hideous! They are lumpy and thick. I felt really bad and tears begin to roll down my face. They ask what's wrong i told him i disnt like how he was doung them. They proceed to remove my nails. When he finally removes my nails I walk to the ATM machine and go to take money to pay for my pedicure and gel removal. Their ATM machine takes forever to work and they ask me, are you sure you have money is account!!!! How rude! I finally get the money and they try and charge me for the ugly acrylics to . Long story short I WOULD NEVER EVER GO BCK AGAIN! read more

This is my second time at this nailshop. It's a lady at this nailshop name Kathy real nasty attitude. She seemed to have gotten upset when I told her my grandbabies mani/pedi was real being paid with real money. She begin to act confused about everything. I wanted a mani/pedi for myself and granddaughter she seem to didn't understand, then she was confused about the color then she didn't know how to make a heart. It was too much. She was acting real nasty. Don't worry Kathy I will nvr be back in your shop. If you can't make a heart then don't do nails. Whack ass . read more

My fingers are bleeding. The lateral and medial sides of my nails are not polished after she cut one I asked if she could take her time because she seemed rushed to give the tool back to the guy who was there. I can still see my nail and I just received a full set. I am missing some of the white tip due to the clean up attempt after I expressed that I wanted them removed. Never again!!! read more

I would NOT ever do my nails here again they do not have a license to do a Mani Pedi and they did my toes are NOT UP TO PAR!!!! I am truly angry and will not recommend ANYONE to go to this salon and on top of that they are not polite and are rude. I am being 100% honest I wouldn't recommend go in here but if you choose to anyway then that's your bad :/ read more

Went in on 7-19-18 to receive services... I wanted a gel nail and pedicure for myself and 2 full sets and pedicures for my two daughters which are 12 and 14 years old.. so I knew I would easily spend more than 100 plus dollars.. The lady was extremely rude and kept acting confused about the services I wanted ( gel nails, 2 full sets and 3 pedicures) She had an attitude when I asked her how she was going to shape my daughters nails because my daughter asked for the coffin look.. which looked nothing like the coffin shape btw...The guy Kevin did my nails and he seemed to be nice, but she kept speaking their language and I could tell that she was saying something about us. When I gave her my card to pay-- she proceeds to ask me.. will you leave a cash tip or do you want me charge it on your card. I told her that I would leave a cash tip. In which I did-- but shouldn't have because the service was horrible! My nails weren't all that cute either..When I got ready to leave- I picked up MY FIRST piece of candy out of the bowl that was for GUEST. The lady says "don't get anymore candy" .. I replied-- "you're very rude"... I will never spend money with them again ---I hate I let her start on my nails! NEVER AGAIN! read more

I love this place i love how they talk to you and how they decorated their salon also they make the price right for me and they have lots of workers so no one has to sit down and wait i love how they do my gel nails and i always see them sell a fungus treatment. Which is really handy for me someday. Its not far from where i live so it is alright. I wpould recamend you to go there!!! read more

I'm another disgruntled customer ~ The main word to describe this nail shop is "rude". The management team (the two owners, most often the lady named Cathy) are the ones who are display such behavior, The salon has been renovated and updated, however the customer service is very far behind. You can make an appointment and once you get there (and especially when they're busy) no one who says anything to you like, "We will assist you in a few minutes" or something of that nature. If Cathy is disappointment because you don't allow her to do your nails anymore, she will not speak to you - she will look at you and not even speak...how rude! Kevin does a decent job on nails, but can be impolite as well. It's amazing that they feel like they can treat people like that and they will return. There are more nail salons in the city as well as the surrounding areas that would be glad to have your service, and they would love to offer you continuous service with great customer service and a smile. read more
