    Galaxy nails and active glitter nail on ring finger. Cosmic Halloween themed.
    Emily P.

    Every nail tech here does an excellent job. I have frequented Kim's for the last two years and have yet to be disappointed. The best nail tech is Grandma but she only does gel nails. I wish she didn't have to work at all. She dutifully attends to every customer with kindness and great care. Kim is great and I feel bad I was absent for so long during COVID. They all work quickly with respect to neatness, and accuracy. I have yet to encounter an issue getting an appointment and have only had great service here. Will be going back for my dip mani and my gel pedi in a few short weeks!

    They are very friendly and take good care of you. I got a pedi w/ gel polish and a full set with a design on every nail. My total was $120 for everything not including tip. It is a little over priced but I think the friendliness and attention to detail is why I will continue to come here. (:

    2 days after fill

    I got my nails done here for a wedding I'm in this weekend. They charged me $50 for a gel fill. Gel chipped in 2 days. I returned to the salon on my way out of town for the wedding and asked for it to be fixed for the wedding, I didn't mind paying just wanted it fixed. They said it would be over an hour wait to fix one nail. When I told them I couldn't wait an hour they said there was nothing they could do and proceeded to completely ignore me while I was standing at the counter. Not willing to compromise at all. No gel nail should chip in 2 days. Poor quality. Do not suggest. Literally go anywhere else in Buffalo.

    I've been to Kims Nails a lot in the past 10 years. Off and on when I want acrylics. The salon is clean. Nicely staffed and always friendly. I went in today for an Ombré pink and white acrylic set and they did not disappoint ! They were able to match the picture I showed them. Always a great job Kim and staff !!!

    I found myself with a couple hours to kill on a Tuesday afternoon. Not wanting to return to the office (it was only 4pm) and not ready to head home, I decided to find someplace local for a much needed manicure/pedicure. Kim's is nice sized and adequately staffed. They are open every day except Sunday, opening at 9am and have fairly late hours. 10% discount for paying in cash. There is street parking, a small parking lot in back, but the employees say they park in the store lot down from them and suggested I park there next time as well. There were several other customers already in the shop, but I was immediately greeted, signed in, and seated at a nail tech's station. I asked for a gel manicure and a spa pedicure. I was a little surprised that they did the manicure first, but realized later that the girl who did the pedicure was with another client, so instead of having me wait, they moved on to my other services. I appreciate that. The manicure was done very well. 3 of the staff helped me select a nail polish for my pedicure that most closely matched the very unique pink sparkly color that I had chosen from their EXTENSIVE selection of gel polishes. They have all of their polishes numbered (opi, etc not just the gel polish) and I suggested it might make sense to match the gel polish numbers with their regular polish counterparts during their slow time so that it would be easier/faster to help a client pick "exactly" the right color so the fingers and toes match (an absolute must!). The owner (?) agreed that was a very good idea. Not sure if they will actually do it or not, but at least I felt like a valued customer. The pedicure was very good. Very relaxing and worth the wait. The girl who did it was very sweet and eager to please. Gel manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow wax (with cash discount) was $67. I was not offered the special $45 combo price for mani/pedi probably because I opted for the gel manicure. The price was still very reasonable and in line with what I pay at the salon/spa where I normally go. I spent 2 hours getting services, which is a little longer than usual (mostly drying time for the toes since they were done last), but I didn't feel forgotten or rushed, so that's worth an extra couple of minutes. This was a great find and I love that it's not too far from home for those days when I need a nail fix, and fast. :-)

    Polygel/fresh set!

    I love this place. They are all great and do exceptional work. I have been going here for over 10 years through all my different nail phases and won't ever go anywhere else. Such a hidden gem to have in South Buffalo. Most work is by Lee

    I wanted to like this place but it was dirty and way to expensive I got a pedi and gel manicure and it was 75 dollars and it already chipped (it's been one day..) additionally, my toes were clipped to short and she missed polish on part of my nail. There are other places that will cost you the same amount and you will get much better service.

    Coffin shaped acrylics with gel polish.

    I highly recommend this place. I made an appointment the day before and when I walked in, I was greeted and waited on right away. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. I like that everything is very customizable as far as nail shapes, designs, colors, etc. My nails came out great and I'll be going here again! The place was also very clean. I've been to a few different nail salons and this place has been the best.

    See all

    If I write too much, you're not going to read this review, so this is turning out to be the review…read morethat has taken me the longest to write as I back space, re-write, and remove paragraphs. It's important to me to convey to you how incredible this place is. Prior to this, the last time I had my nails professionally done (well, I'm beginning to question whether they've ever been "professionally" done at all before this, but I digress) was pre-Covid. Instead, I opted for glue-on nail tips and the MLM product of the moment. My nails had been looking pretty shabby, so it was time. When I tell you I stumbled upon this place, I mean it was pure serendipity! I just happened to notice them out of the corner of my eye as I was pulling into the Starbucks drive-thru. Instead of turning left for the drive-thru, I turned right into a spot in front of Cure and walked inside. I was greeted immediately by the owner herself, one of the most genuinely kind and friendly people you could ever meet. I asked all kinds of questions and booked my first appointment then and there. Y'all, I hope you're still reading. I'm sorry if it's so long, but I want to tell you ALLLLL the things. (Edit, Jen. Edit.) Kristen did my nails and explained exactly what she was doing while she was doing it (keep reading to find out why this experience was different from my past experiences). One of the things that stood out to me was the lack of chemical smells. The products they use are so much cleaner and healthier, and that's very important to me. I check EWG for EVERYTHING before I buy it. My nail beds are short and I have always described myself as having "sausage fingers." For that reason, I don't really like the short square or round shape, but I can't wear long nails or how the heck do you expect me to type up these Yelp reviews? Kristen helped me pick a flattering shape and length so that I no longer look at my hands and see Jimmy Deans. In fact, I actually love the way my hands look now! And let's talk quickly about how they feel. Because if you're like me, you've worn nail tips before and thought, "these just FEEL fake." I don't know how to explain it, but these gel extensions are remarkably natural feeling. Not stiff like acrylic, but durable. And the process to put them on doesn't require powder or nail glue. If I'm honest, I've never LOVED having my nails done. I only liked having HAD them done. Since my first appointment at Cure, I have looked forward to every visit after. I've been three times now (one time for an incredible hot stone pedicure) and my next fill is on the books for a couple of weeks from now. They also do waxing (which I haven't tried yet, but my eyebrows are crying for it!) and have a party room if you want to do a GNO, bridal shower, etc. The salon itself is girly and modern. The music is fantastic! The vibe is empowering. I'm going to give away my age here (and if you know, you know), but it feels like I'm sitting in the salon with Shelby and Truvy and M'Lynn -- just a group of ladies having a good time. The End. (Yeah, sorry it felt like a book, but believe it or not there was a lot edited out to make it shorter.)

They both did a great job and were super friendly and welcoming. We got the "treat yourself"pedicure and I would recommend that! It was $95 and comes with a lot of treatments like a heated neck wrap and hot stone massage on your legs! Really enjoyed it! Overall I would definitely come back. They have lots of color choices and options for gel and not gel.

    Overall I had a positive experience here. It's not the cleanest place but they seem to sanitize and…read morehave lots of different cleaners, hand sanitizer and Lysol spray around. I got a spa pedicure and a French gel manicure today. The staff were friendly and welcoming although they didn't hold much of a conversation besides the normal - "what kind of pedicure?

The absolute positives for this place are that they are open on Sundays, had a lot of nail techs and have very affordable prices! I would definitely come back. They also offer lash extensions and permanent make up options. I want to try these services next time!

Within just a week, they were already lifting, which should NOT happen with a fresh set done correctly. I reached out to requesting my money back because the service was not done properly the first time and instead of taking accountability, I was told that calling after a week was "too late." That response alone shows the lack of professionalism and care for their clients. I paid for a service that was not done properly and then was completely dismissed when I brought it up. Now I have to spend more money somewhere else just to get them removed and redone correctly. If you care about quality work and customer service, I would strongly suggest going somewhere else. Very rude and unprofessional.

    Loved the outcome of my full set and fill, but when I was scheduled for my 2nd fill I was asked to…read morereschedule due to sickness, ok- no problem. I was told I would be added to a cancellation list. After not hearing back in over a week I asked a mutual friend to reach out to the nail tech. She messaged me then and explained she was "too busy" now, all of a sudden and could no longer take me as a client. She also added: "With the salon, I do not feel comfortable with having any conflicts between clients. Unfortunately a few long standing clients have reached out to the salon with concerns. Which again I have to prioritize. This not being my own salon I could not allow for what could potentially be a bad experience for my clients or other nail technicians and their clientele. This isn't a business that I worked 30'years creating. Someone else did." I do not know anyone else at the salon or who goes to the salon, I've only been there twice. I asked for an explanation and was blocked. I was always on time and tipped well, even when I was there for over 2 hours just to get a fill! The owner is incredibly unprofessional, clearly does not care about their reputation.
