My nails look HORRIBLE!!! Some are painted completely but some are missing polish in multiple areas. My right thumb is BULKY!!! WASTE OF MONEY!!! I stopped coming here years ago & should've NEVER RETURNED!!! My nail tech was booked unfortunately!!! The older lady who did my nails kept asking if I liked them, I kept saying NO!!! She kept using TISSUE to wipe my nails, which was adding fibers so she kept redoing them & this was the outcome!!! Cindy double/triple dips on her wax which is AGAINST THE LAW!!! It's a review of a woman getting STAPH from here!!! LISTEN TO US & DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Cindy had the audacity to say my nails look good!!! 2 of Cindy's clients said my nails were HIDEOUS & DULL!!! I'm on a new spiritual journey that told me to just LEAVE!!! $22 WASTED because Cindy's DISRESPECT was going to try to bring the DEVIL OUT OF ME!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! read more

The service was great and the price was really affordable. I got both a manicure and pedicure, and I was very impressed with the attention to detail. My nails came out looking clean, neat, and beautifully shaped. The polish was applied evenly with no streaks, and the pedicure was super relaxing. They took their time to make sure everything looked perfect and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for quality nail care at a good price! read more

they charge way too much money and they said for just my nails it,s100$dollars like no that,s too muck

Very unprofessional staff...you always wonder if employees are talking about you when they are speaking to the employee at the next station over...but when they are blatantly talking about you, laughing while doing so, and not even attempting to be discreet about it-is completely unacceptable behavior. I will never go back, and had I noticed the behavior earlier, would have walked out. Customers are paying for a service, and I did leave a tip because I wasn't informed about the behavior before leaving. We are not paying to be talked about, judged, mocked or laughed at. We have been to this shop several times and never been treated so rudely as my daughter said she was treated. Do not recommend this nail salon. Will pay more (and this place is not inexpensive) for acceptable customer service at a different salon from here on. Very disappointed ​ read more

This shop files down natural nails with nail machine to take off gel polish. When I went back the girl Cindy said my nails were thin. I never had thin natural nails they have always been thick...I'm very blessed! When I told her that she and the use of machine were the reason my nails were thin she became very defensive and said she is not responsible... like hell! If you have natural nails and you want them polish with gel DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP!! They try and sell you overlay nails because they do not care about your nails just how much money they can get from you!!! read more

Update 1 week later: I had taken my nails off that same night. Acrylic thick AF, nails not shaped right. So today I look and my daughters gel fully came off 3 of her fingers and 1 toe. It's only been ONE WEEK! ONE! SMH; never again. Some of y'all crazy to like y'all nails they look jacked TF'd up! Just pretend I gave this place 0 stars. read more

If this place had a motto it would be: You Get What You Pay For. My overall experience was unpleasant. I guess I can give them props for getting me in and out the door in a timely manner being that my lunch is an hour. With that being said I did not have time to point out everything I disliked about my nails. My nail set was definitely one of those 'what you got vs. what you wanted' moments to say the very least... Design: hideous. Nail bed: lifted. Acrylic: Thick! I went back with my friend who also got her nails done and they didn't have to say anything for us to know that they did not want us there. Long story short: once it was my friends turn to have her nails fixed the nail tech was very rough with her & cut her finger tips multiple times. We ended up leaving. It was giving: NEVER AGAIN.. Cleanliness: 0 Friendliness: 0 Atmosphere: 0 Don't waste your time. Go somewhere else. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would this place has definitely went downhill more than it ever was before . Came for my event and decided to get my feet done with acrylic added on big toe , whatever you do don't get your feet done by the lady she literally rushed on my feet like she had somewhere to be in the next 20 minutes and gets mad as I'm asking her to correct her work as if she's not getting paid ... take your money elsewhere. read more

Love this place! I leave satisfied with my nails every time I go. The workers are very nice and the nail techs take there time with you. read more

My daughter e her friend came here . Once my daughter was called to sit . The lady leaves e wont come back . Then my daughter got tired of waiting e got up. The worker next chair instead calls another lady that came in a few later. It was absurd . Then when her friend sat down my daughter decided not to do her nails here. I would have been a karen but my daughter told me not to . The service is ugly . I would not come back even for free . They only care for returning customers but new not so . I did observe their this . No stars but put one in order to post it !!! Awful read more

Great pricing! Did a walk-in with my partner for a manicure and pedicure. If you're getting a simple manicure and pedicure it is a great price. however, if you expecting a gel pedicure with A French tip I highly recommend to look at your nails since my pedicure did not come out as great; for reference check out the picture . read more

Cindy did my nails and Mini did my feet. Safe as they can be when you enter check your temperature and make you put hand sanitizer on entry. Mini did good foot massage at the end. I want her again. Ask for them when you come in. read more

Henry is amazing! He had me in and out in 35 minutes and my nails have never looked better! He was very thoughtful and efficient. Everyone in the salon was very friendly, definitely going back for an acrylic fill in a couple weeks! read more

They are only getting a 1 star because zero stars isn't an option. Their work absolutely sucks ! I'm not sure if they're using old polish or they're thinning out the polish but something's going on because I got a "gel mani pedi" and my nails were chipping within 2 days!!!! This is also not the first time that this issue has occurred after going to them for a service. It was quite disappointing to be on vacation and have my nails chipping after two days. read more

Love the service very quick I will definitely make this my new mani pedi stop you won't regret it

I had a full set but one broke so I came here to get my broken nail redone. It was $5 for 1 nail and two nail colors and also A STAPH INFECTION. Fucking never again! read more

Once upon a time Hi and Kim owned this nail salon and provided exceptional service. One of the workers while Hi and Kim owned the salon name Mark. Mark got a girl pregnant -- had twins -- and Mark and she are the new owners. Kim's Nails is not the same anymone and exceptional service left with the old owners. The pictures attached show the mediocre work they perform. When you walk into this so-called place of business I guarantee you you will not be greeted. You will have to get someone's attention and ask them to provide you the service you are there for, this is terrible customer service. My nails are shaped all different -- polish and top coat everywhere --- and they are thick as heck. The massage chairs don't function properly and literally SHAKE and PUNCH the energy right or of you This place is sad news.... WARNING DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY HERE read more

This place has been the worst nail salon I've ever been to!!! spent $35 plus tip on a full set and the acrylic was wayyy too thick!! My service was rushed. And in the middle of picking my color one of the rude lady snatch it from my hands without saying a word!!! Totally unbelievable. I had to go to a different spot and get my nails fixed!! Take my words ladies! I'll never talk shit to any business but I had to on this one! read more

Terrible service . My nail got infected, they are not clean. Disrespectful. Over charge randomly do not come here . They don't try to make the guest happy they only care about money that's it !! 0 stars ! 0! read more

I have to up this review to a 3 based on the fact that I have been back twice and both times they did a better job. They get busy during lunchtime so plan accordingly. I think they charge a lot for a design ($10?!) but other than that,, friendly service and my shellac experience has since improved. They now use the soak off method with the foil (thank goodness!). read more

I had to run to Kaiser for an appointment and figured i'd try out a new nail place. I've been on the hunt for a "regular nail place" since moving to Northern California. The prices at this salon are pretty standard for what i'm accustomed with. The place seemed clean and the staff more or less friendly. I waited, chose my color, and was on my way to getting my manicure. Unfortunately, my nails were not painted well at all. The top coat was not very good - it was VERY thick in fact - and by the time I got home it had started bubbling. Not only that but I noticed that the sides on my nails weren't even painted. My job has me on the computer all day, so to chip the polish within a week is not uncommon, but the next day is unheard of... I didn't feel like the people were particularly attentive to their duties - obviously considering the lack of polish on the side of my nail. I personally wouldn't go back. Maybe it was an off day - but just not what i'm looking for in a nail place. read more

They do not allow you to pay more than $40 on your debit card, so illegal. Smh! They made me leave in the middle of getting serviced because I wanted $70 nails and they could not accommodate me. read more

I love This place I only let Mark or Cindy Work ON My nails. Loved Hi Too. And I miss him I been coming here for 16 years things have change a lot but I still believe they do a Great Job. read more

Very sweet staff here. Everyone is attentive to your needs as long as you request what you want clearly. The prices are less expensive than any other nail salon that I've been to - so, that was a nice surprise. They accept cash only and card on services less than $15, I believe. You pay to park in the small parking lot, but we rarely see the meter maid in this area. The nail salon put up a metal screen door to prevent loiterers or solicitors from entering. The only downside about this place is the location and clientele - obnoxious, noisy, and disrespectful. However, the owners try to control the environment as best as they can. read more

i've been going to this shop for like 13 yrs! i freaking love it!! i always get great service and the staff is always so sweet, nice and friendly. when i get my nails done they always last about 2 weeks until i need a fill in and never had a problem with anything going wrong. read more

The most unprofessional nail shop I have ever been to.. I got there when they first opened and waited 2 hours for servic. When I finally got serviced the nail Tec placed nail tips on my fingers filed them but when I showed him the design I wanted he told me I wouldn't be able to get that designed because I'm paying with a card and they do not allow anyone to pay more than $40 on a debit card. i informed him that I just lost my grandmother and did not have time to go get cash. I then asked if I could cash app, venmo, or Zelle the remaining balance he told me that was not an option and that I had to go to Walgreens while he was in the middle of doing my nails to get cash. So I did and when I came back I had to wait an additional hour to get serviced once again. I waited 2 hours for nails that broke in a week! Also THEY DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO PAY WITY YOUR DEBIT CARD WHICH IS ABSURD! worse experience of my life. read more

The service is okay, it's just that the quality of their nail polish is so poor that it chips the FIRST day you have them on. :( get some new polishes! read more

This place does really great nails. I was satisfied with the shape, size, length and smoothness however the polish is what disappointed me. The first time I thought maybe it was just the person bit after the third time I realized it's a shop thing. That's a easy craft and as good as this place is someone should know how to properly polish nails. read more

I love this place Cindy and mark are incredible people and everyone that works there are so nice and good people I been going there for 2 years and I won't go anywhere else to do my nails or waxing every time I go there they do a amazing job. I recommend that if you want to do your nails and waxing go here it's a great place read more

Marks eyebrows are life !!! Only go to him or his wife or your hands will be pricked and burned by the old men . The young boy does a good pedicure when he's not into his phone read more

The people there are very nice and aren't awkward while doing your nail..it is a small place so it can get really cramped because this place gets a lot of business...after 2weeks I think I need a fill so that's pretty good I'm definitely going back :) read more

I love this place!! I used to go here all the time when I lived in Richmond. Mark does the best job every time. Whatever type of designs you will be satisfied. Their work is done with excellence!!! read more

I love this place, I have been coming here since 2009, Mark does the greatest job!! I have not one complaint and I always feel welcomed when I come. read more

Only reason I didn't give a 1 star rating is because they NEVER fail with the eyebrows BUT the nails this place has definitely went down hill since HI and Rose left Rose keep my eyebrows perfect but now Mark does a good job I went last month to get my nails done and I had a nail POP off ! not Break but just POPPED off like it was a press on I had a older gentleman do my nails ughhhh never again I just hated the idea of getting my eyebrows done in Richmond and my nails in Oakland but generation nails here I come or tinas nails in Vallejo another thing I swear every time I go in there they have a new set of employees and they all look sketchy I wish they would bring back the quality kim's nails used to be the go to spot now it's the wait a hour for eyebrows two hours for shitty nails spot read more

I was incredibly angry at the job that was given to me. This was my second visit and it will be my last. For one, i was the only customer there this morning when a man started doing my nails. I showed him the shape I wanted and was specific about it. COFFIN NAILS. he cut my cuticles, left glue on me, and didn't even put on a clear coat at the end, just told me to wash my hands last, the paint job is on my skin and each finger is a different shape. and would you believe he charged me 31$? Pathetic is all I have to say, he could see in my face the disappointment, and he continued mugging me, not smiling back when I did . RUDE AND HORRIBLE JOB. read more

I have been going to Kim's nails off and on for years the quality of service has gone down since the original owners. I understand they have to pay the rent there and the more clients the more money but not at the expense of low quality service. I was very disappointed my last visit my nails were horrible my nails had red polish residue from my old polish in the corners of my nails because the nail technician was trying to go to fast and missed those details. I have a nail shop around the corner from my house that does a much better and I pay way less Kim's nails was an easy choice I mean right by my job go after work then go home I see now the service has changed and so must I it's sad really low quality service in the hood... is that what they think of us we deserve the same treatment as if you were going to a nail shop in Brentwood etc.. our money dictates that . I should've gone back and made them do it over again and that was my bad but this was the end for me. I will be getting my nails elsewhere. read more
