    In Sarasota for my daughters soccer and decided on some much needed girl time and we called Kim's for a quick pampering before team dinner. Staff was friendly, attentive and quick! Thank you Kim's for making our day and our nails pretty awesome

    One of the many nail salons named Kim Nails, in Bayshore Gardens Shopping Center, in between a TJ Maxx and a Publix, and next to the best sushi restaurant in Bradenton. There is also a Target in this plaza. In front of the shop is a cute little courtyard with a garden. However, inside is a busted mess of décor, slathered with signs not to steal nails polish in both English and Spanish. The décor is reminiscent of a 1980's Hoi An barber shop, covered in mint green paint and dusty plastic flowers. The customers are mostly old ladies that just want someone to rub their hands and feet and coat them in pink nail polish. Then, you will find me here, totally engrossed with one of the best nail technicians in Tampa Bay. The acrylic magician I come to hand my wallet to is Ia, she is amazing. When she works on my nails, I am totally engrossed--- watching as my nails are transformed in something even cooler than the coolest Bryant Park runway show. Wherever Ia goes, I follow with cash money in hand.

    Excellent Vietnamese nail salon. I went and environment was clean and nice. Very polite people and excellent service. Linda did my nails. She was quick and gentle and my nails were nice. Just not 5 stars because little details like pushing back the cuticles and cleaning nail beds with acetone were missed. She was very nice though. I got two coats of gel shellac manicure. No massage or anything extra.

    I had a really great experience here! I didn't have an appointment, so the receptionist said I may wait up to 30 minutes, but I only waited 15. I got their new ombré acrylics, and they are perfectly Pinterest-able. She was very careful, she didn't hurt me at all- which is saying something since I have a habit of biting the skin around my nails. But she didn't open any of the cuts around my nails or make new ones, which I really appreciated. She was meticulous in her filing and gave me the super glossy finish I asked for. The receptionist and my technician were very friendly and kind, and some of the other technicians were sweet enough to say hello and invite me back. Just FYI, the ombré style takes a little longer than normal acrylics because of the duo-colors. This appointment took just over an hour. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

    Sooo good!

    Absolutely wonderful experience! Hot stone pedicure and my French full set is flawless! Best place to get your nails done in Bradenton!

    Best salon in town. Ask for Christine I have been going here for years she is a true artist Excellent customer service with no short cuts. Make appointment and enjoy quality

    I never write reviews but this kind of needed one. I decided to give this place a try because they were close by and could fit me in today. I walked in really wanting to like it. The person that did my nails quickly ruined any chance of that. When I changed my mind about doing gel after seeing some cool chromes on the wall she insulted me by saying "no" "it's more" "it costs more" over and over. Finally I firmly told her I understand that and asked for swatches yet again. Then she told me it'd be $17 extra for the gel. I said okay. As she's doing my nails she's very rough and seems like I'm bothering her to do my nails. The more I sat there the more irritated I got at her demeanor and being insulted. I wanted to see how I was treated before letting them know I also wanted to get a pedicure and a wax. Obviously, I decided to take my business elsewhere. I wish she would've done a third coat because they were still streaky. The shape looks good though. As soon as my nails were dry I hightailed it out of there. I was definitely disappointed because it seemed great at first. But the older woman (black hair, 50s-60s) left a terrible taste in my mouth. It's too bad because the younger woman that I believe was the owner was really nice.

    If I could give this a 0 I would. I walked in this morning, there was one customer. I didn't have…read morean appointment, but they said they could take me. I wanted to get my GelX removed, replaced with a gel manicure, a 'luxury' pedicure and eyebrow wax. I am here visiting family and wanted to treat myself to some nice fresh nails and this place has good reviews. The girl was either Lynn or Laura based on the roster I saw, that had a only 2 appointments recorded for the day. The girl who did my nails was the one not wearing glasses. The shop was not busy. She immediately burned my pinky finger with the little roller thing, as she was moving the roller over my nails super fast, she didn't even apologize. She wrapped the nails in the alcohol and cotton to soak. I sat down for the pedicure and she lazily handed me a crusty, stained neck pillow that was too hot. Then she rushed my pedicure, not clipping my cuticles thoroughly, she didn't even cut all of my toenails. She didn't scrub my feet, the water was cold and not relaxing for my pedicure. I was clearly suffering with the nick in my pinky finger that she burned, I said multiple times it was stinging. The pedicure was not luxury whatsoever. When we got to the rest of the manicure, she was still moving too fast and when I mentioned this to her she said 'oh at the beginning i go fast, but then i go slower' (?!?!) which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, she didn't even get all the gel off my nails. She then sat there blaming ME for having 'sensitive nails' and tried making excuses for her awful job being done and I really didn't want to her it by this point. She was sitting there almost arguing with me, so I asked her to just finish please, that I changed my mind about the additional services. I decided I didn't want her to touch my face and canceled the eyebrow wax and getting any polish on my hands/feet, because seeing this experience so far, I wasn't going to pay more money for gel that will chip or fall off in 2 days and with her lack of care was showing me this was already a waste of money. The salon was also filthy, the floor dirty and stained as through it has not been swept or mopped in a few days, it certainly wasn't cleaned last night before they closed. The shop is crusty, tape holding stuff together everywhere. There is no way in hell this place has real awards. No way, it was disgusting and disappointing. She didn't even file them properly. I had to come back hoe and fix them myself. Not worth the $80 in ANY WAY. If you don't want to be a nail technician - get another job. I drove 20 minutes to get here too because it seemed like a good bet. I was wrong. Don't go here!!

    Friendly but the gel polish chipped 3 days in and then two nails 4 days in. I don't live there or…read moreI'd go back and have them fixed. Super disappointed that my vacation nails didn't hold up.

But instead of just the two fixed they put my feet in the water and did the whole pedicure but only pained and did the two. They charged me full regular pedicure.

Manager was not enthusiastic and questioned me about my $20 tip so I added an additional $20 tip just so he wouldn't be rude. They push for more expensive services but are offended if we don't tip what their workers should already earn. I don't appreciate how it's expected to give a decent tip when we receive attitude from the nails techs (Although Mimi was very kind) and services are rushed. Additionally, DON'T bother making an appointment. My friend and I made an appointment for 5:20 on Friday and no seats/nail techs were available. My friend had to wait 20-25min just to sit next to me and waited an additional 15min before she could get her manicure. Nails are always great but unless you're not a "difficult" client, they give you a hard time. Will not be returning unfortunately :(
