King Nails & Spa - Clear powder with clear nail gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

started coming here after my last nail tech moved, and I'm so glad I did. This place is truly a hidden gem. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you receive. I've been coming for about four months now, and every visit has been consistent. That says a lot. Nina, Emily, Kenny, and I believe Larry have all taken care of me at different times, and every one of them has done an amazing job. You can tell they take pride in their work and really care about their clients. I keep my nails on the longer side, and they handle them with care every time. No rushing, no shortcuts. Just good, quality work. I also get my eyebrows threaded and henna done here, and I've never had a bad experience with either service. The shop is clean, organized, and has a good vibe. You feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. It's hard to find a place that stays consistent, but they've done that for me. If you're looking for a spot where you're treated right and leave happy every time, this is it. read more

Absolutely some of the worst ever nails I've ever had. I went today and spent $110. Basic pedicure w/gel & they gave me "colored acrylic" I asked for squared and honestly these look like a kid did duck nails on me. The ends are super pointy to where you can tell there was no shaping to them. They're all different thickness, length, none of them are even filed to the same size and he filed the top down so much you can see the "tip" Normally I get French tip on top of my nails & I only like dipped powder. I have a horrible habit of biting my nails and this man said he couldn't do it. MIND YOU IVE BEEN GETTING THEM DONE WITH SNS SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT. I'm almost to the point on Monday they either fix my nails or they refund me my money because these are not it. They are hideous. I asked for a nude pink, they gave me straight mix of different nudes colors. The container even said "mix nudes" I even told him that I get sensory overload if the acrylic touched the side of my fingers. I didn't tip him because he rushed, when I say he took 20 mins to do my nails, legit no more than 30. I absolutely will never go back there as this was a horrible experience. read more

not a good place to go. The prices are never the same once you hand them your card and they often will try to charge you extra for a basic jail nails after several months I said this was my last time coming. My total was $51 and 50 Cent, I guess they added it on $1.50 for using my debit card that they didn't say that they were doing and I get home there's an additional eight dollars on there and the nails weren't even shaped properly and lumpy and the only reason I couldn't tell at that point is because I always get nails with glitter in them . There's over 20 technicians in there so you'll never get the same one and they don't really care about if you come back or not because it's like a revolving door because of their location worst nail service I've ever had in 30 years to get nails. read more

King Nails & Spa - On the left is what I asked for - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Worst nails I've ever had! The guy cut me multiple times while filing and still left my nails with super sharp edges so bad I kept cutting myself and things I touched after I left. My nails chipped an hour after and a week later this picture happened. I didn't have time to go back and get them done again. What a waste of money. read more

Made an appointment here for my wife and my daughter, when I told the man that I didn't want my daughter to get gel they all of the sudden couldn't do my daughters nails anymore. This is after she was sitting in the chair and mentally preparing herself to get her nails painted. She is 4 years old!!! A couple of the other staff members saw my daughter and that she was crying and asked the manager to do them and he told them no. Do not bring your kids here if you are not willing to be forced to get services that you don't want. They will get them out of the chair for someone that is going to make them more money! I understand that money talks but when it's a 4yr old that just wants to get her nails painted next to her mom maybe there should be an exception! read more

The service was very bad and I was disappointed. Some of the worker are just holding a chair and are terrible for business and they are not concerned .what a wast of money and time. read more

I love the service and my pedi always great I just hate I spend a $100 dollars for a full set and my nails lift after 3 days, and this has happened multiple times, think about just going to another salon, but I love king nails customer service read more

I am very particular about my nails so I go through nail techs really fast and don't give too many times for them not to mess up. But I have been coming here since I found them. My regular is gel powder. My nails do not lift, break or crack. I am a regular visitor and I also get coffin shaped for filing. So I love them. You do have to find your favorite techs and stick to them. I always call day of for my appointments and I'm able to get in. read more

King Nails & Spa - Gel powder. No chipping. No popping off. - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I can not recommend this place after the money I spent. I went on 3/18/19, mani and pedi gel and got package w the hot stone massage. One week later my nails look as though I got them done weeks ago and it's literally been 8 days. I had to file my nails bc the guy only cut them but didn't smooth the corners down. I wonder if it would make a difference to sit in the private room then out on the floor? read more

It's a beautiful salon, and they have every color under the sun. Unfortunately, I left feeling that the service could have been better. It was rushed and it shows. My nail paint is uneven and overlaps my cuticles on a few fingers. It's gel polish, so I guess I'm stuck with it for a while. Did not get the technician's name. Not sure if I will return. read more

First time here visiting from Atlanta, wanted a polish change on my toes. I had polish on 2 nails. I looked at the price and it was $30 for polish. I declined the service. They then charged me $10 because she took the polish off of the 2 nails. I will NEVER come to get any services here again. Y'all are being overcharged, but King Nails I gotta say y'all getting that bag!!! read more

Nice quiet atmosphere. It says no kids allowed on the door...I had made my appointments online and when I walked in with my nine year old there was not any issue with it. However now that I know it will be my own place to get my nails done. The nail techs were knowledgable and courteous. Made us feel welcome. The techs listened to our needs(had surgery on foot/still very tender), he avoided tender spot. Our mani/pedis are gorgeous. We are very happy and will return. read more

Great customer service. Song normally does mine. Very sweet and she takes her time! Highly recommend

My regular salon was closed and I was in desperate need of a mani. What's a gal to do? King Nails and Spa to the rescue! I needed a quick, basic manicure and this place was open and nearby. The service wasn't great. There was a lady with red hair that seemed to be managing everyone. She was loud and was shouting to people. It was very distracting. The woman that did my manicure was very quiet but professional and my manicure looks great. There was much of a hand massage. She just rubbed a little lotion on my hands but the nail polish is impeccable. Ask for Mye if you visit. Overall the place looked alright. Not the newest or the cleanest. The pedicure chairs looked older and there was dust on the light fixtures. In a pinch I would visit here again for a manicure but I would not switch from my regular place. read more

Star service. I love this place. Mani and pedi and a complimentary drink. They took their time to make my nails look so great and I got a hand and arm massage and foot massage. I'm ready to be a bridesmaid in this wedding read more

I went here the day before my wedding to get my nails done. I wanted the gel nails. This would've been my second time getting there, last time I went to a nail salon on Harbison Blvd (should've went back but I was pushed for time). Location: Forest drive in the plaza where Subway, Fatz, and Dollar Tree is. Its nicely decorated inside and I was seated immediately. Service - HORRIBLE Not the best in regards to getting my nails done. First, the owner was doing my nails and didn't understand what I was explaining for him to do. I just wanted the french tip look with gel nails - he kept pointing to different color nail polish. Then after filing and prepping my nails he excused himself for about 25 mins and left me soaking my nails. I eventually took my hands out after they began to look like prunes realizing he wasn't coming back anytime soon. I saw him do eyebrow waxing and wandering around in the back. Fed up with being left I asked the receptionist was there anyone who could finish what he started, she told me "Ohhh, he's the owner and ppl request for him personally." I really didn't care. Finally he returns and starts refilling my nails. Afterwards they were so thin and easy to break so I requested for him to stop. He moved me to another station and left again. Then another person took over my nails and applied the gel nails. After completing my right hand he started on the left hand. At first everything was going ok until the polish cured under the UV light and I noticed how warped they were, like bubbling underneath. So, I explained it to the technician and he tried to tell me that it was ok and sometimes they look like that. I wasn't falling for that mess. I've had it done before and the left hand didn't look like that. So i requested that he do them again and he did. When he finished the 2nd time it was much better. Charge: $40 and I didn't get an apology for them be so slow or anything. They were very polite just slow UPDATE: The next day, my polish started chipping. One week later I have chipping and cracking on all my nails. Now, when I went to Harbison it took about 3 1/2 weeks before any of this occured and I was working during that time. I haven't been doing anything this time around that would cause all this damage. I will post a pic. Needless to say I don't think they're qualified to do gel nails and it was a waste of money. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants gel nails and will not be going back for any other service read more

Worst nails ever! Super poor customer service and overall people skills. One of the employees were in a rush & messed up my nails. I asked if they could be fixed I was told I can only get $5 off and if I wanted my nails fixed I would have to pay a extra $10. I also received a gel pedicure and when I went to the car to check my toes the polish was gone please make sure you read the reviews and pay attention to what they're doing. When I tried to resolve the issue I was met with a attitude as if I was the problem. The employee at the front desk asked me if I could come another day but i live out of town. Then he jumped in my face an threated to call the police because I was talking. He said " I'm tired of hearing your voice." Then proceeded to yell at the employee who did my nails . It became very hostile so I left! I wasted $93 in this place and would not recommend anyone to go there! read more

Poor customer service, rude technicians, price of service is different every time I go even though I get the same thing and technicians have trouble communicating. My last pedicure was awful and was my last. The technician acted as if she didn't know what she was doing or didn't want to be there. I would not recommend. read more

If I could give a zero I would. I came in here the other day after reading reviews and hearing from people in the area it's the place to go! WRONG! These people were rude and when I was cut on my toe and asked the first guy to be gentle he stormed off and wouldn't come back (i wish i knew his name but the 10 mins he spent with me he was talking on his phone!) So then we come to Susan...thought this would be better, she apologized for him and then things took a turn, when she too cut my toe and I asked her to be careful she threw a fit and started yelling at me she even HIT me and pushed my leg back into the water bowl! I literally ended up in tears I was so confused and mad at to what was happening. The managers just seemed to laugh at me and blame me! Thank goodness the nice lady next to me saw the whole thing and was just as shocked! If i didn't have a place to go and wasn't halfway done with my nails i would have walked out! If you're looking for a bad time I recommend it, otherwise spend your money elsewhere!!! read more

King Nails & Spa - In case you want to get beat up during your time here this is Susan! - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I'll start by saying that I'm in this area temporarily for work and the nail salon I go to at home in Virginia is hard to compete against. Do not come here if you want a nice experience. If you are in a rush and don't care about how you're treated then this place is perfect. When i walked in i was immediately greeted by I'm assuming the owner or manager. That was great. And he offered me something to drink. Went downhill after that. Lady that did my pedicure only scrubbed one of my legs and she was adamant that she did both when I asked if she was going to do the other one. She went back and forth with me for a while about it. Didn't help that there was a language barrier. I just ended up letting it go. One of the worst pedicures I've ever received. Now onto the manicure. The technician did an ok job but was clearly rushing and not asking me if I was satisfied with anything he was doing. After he was done he slapped some oil or something on my hands and told me to wash them. I did that and before i could even dry my hands, the owner had picked up my purse and shoes and was practically pushing me out of the door. Goodness gracious. I won't be back. read more

I visited this nail shop late July 2017, while in SC for my daughters leadership training graduation @ Ft. Jackson. The location appears to be clean & modern, there were a lot of patrons there, including my daughter and I. It took a while for someone to even come out & ask what service I wanted & another 10 min before I was directed to have a seat for my pedicure. The young lady performed what I thought was a simple "spa" pedicure & painting my toes a deep purple, while my daughter was getting a manicure. When I left the salon & went back to the hotel rm I looked @ my toenails on the right side & saw how messy they looked - I was very careful getting into the car & had made sure my toenails were dry before leaving. The nail bed on several of my toes was not completely covered with polish & she didn't even clean up some of the polish that was on the side of my toes. I was so mad, cuz I paid over $30 for a simple "spa" pedicure, not to mention a tip, for what was not quality services or work. I've had better pedicures in LBC for 1/2 the cost! I immediately called the salon & spoke to the 'manager'. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service & he agreed to take care of it when I go back Sunday. When I arrive Sunday morning @ the salon, the short mgr comes out & I show him how poor the work looked... he mumbled something & had the same female who did the terrible job try to fix it... fine, let's do this. When she looks @ my rt side she asks if I want her to repaint my toes & I said 'uh yeah, you didn't do a good job when I was here last... can't u see that?' I tried not to be rude, but she was so oblivious to what she had done & I was irritated that she would ask an obvious question After she was done again, I inspected her work I had to point out that she still didn't clean up the edges where there was polish on my toe... she was like, oh ok, did a mediocre job, AGAIN! I was too thru I dried my toes & left disappointed with the lack of service & felt like I should've received a more attentive pedicurist (is this an actual word) or just get a refund for my pedicure I DO NOT recommend this location to anyone that is used to receiving a decent Pedi in Cali or anywhere else that does a QUALITY job. The mgr didn't apologize for the poor quality of service & didn't seem fazed when I showed him the results. Oh well, live & learn, yet know this... as long as U pay for nail service(s) - or whatever - it should ALWAYS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!! #IJS #KingNails&SpaNoThx #OHN #QualityMatters read more

King Nails & Spa - My Full Set - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I'm currently in town from Hawaii visiting family. Yesterday I was taken to Kings to get my nails done. I tried the dip powder system for the first time and I believe it works but the nail tech Shayna must have been in a rush. My nails are inconsistent and lumpy and after calling today and speaking to the manager John I'm now convinced this salon is just unprofessional. After telling him everything, he then proceeds to tell me he will send me back to her to fix them?! If she is the reason they are messed up why would you send me back to her. I'm so dissatisfied with this salon and I don't recommend anybody even bothering to try them. read more

**update: my gel manicures pealed off less than six hours after it was done because the gel went outside of my nail bed and on to my skin. Will not come back. Took a chance on a different place because it's open on Sunday. The guy rushed through a mani/pedi. Left polish on my skin and gel outside of the nail. Very disappointing. read more
