I usually don't write these types of reviews but just thought I should because of the experience I had here recently. My friend and I went here a few days ago to get our nails done, and to start the prices are insane. It was going to be 95$ for a plain set of acrylics, which I think is completely unreasonable. The woman doing my nails also made me bleed multiple times, and didn't pay attention when I told her I wanted to change and not do the design anymore. The shape of the nails is not consistent on both hands, and I requested gel and got acrylic. They also look very messy and the chrome that was put on is all over my cuticles. My friend requested to get polka dots on her nails and was ignored. She also asked the worker for help picking a certain maroon color and was dismissed. The workers were not attentive nor did they do a good job. read more

I've had my nails done here twice. The first time, I got a gel set, which looked good. The second time, I got an acrylic set. They told me to leave too early, and even though I was careful, it chipped. Also there were TONS of bubbles When I had a different nail tech (a wonderful student at MSU) take them off, she informed me that the salon had used MMA as the bonding agent which is BANNED in ALL STATES as it is toxic for your skin. So I will not be going back. read more

Kiss Nails - Acrylic nail set - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Got my nails done here a week ago. Although they look awful, that's not the issue. I was cut badly multiple times, bleeding, and the lady continued to do my nails with all of her tools. She also drilled my nails down so far i barely have any real nails left. The acrylics have since come off and my nails are the most damaged I've ever seen them and are painful. Do not waste your money here. read more

I got a basic manicure, and the nail artist didn't put a base coat on which left my nails stained bright pink. When I called to get a refund, they told me I shouldn't have gotten just normal nail polish, so I can't get a refund. read more

They were very rude, I was trying to ask how her day was and she'd ignore me. She was slamming Al things and rolling her eyes. I have no idea why she was so mad. Nails are crooked, super thick acrylic. read more

i literally came out this salon in tears. if you have anxiety do not come here. i'm a nail biter all my life so I clearly have short nails. the woman doing my nails and the buddy next to her start looking at my nails and talking their own language. which is so obvious they are speaking about my hands. i just wanted to look pretty for spring break. not to mention, the nail tech cut my nails too short. one nail is bigger than the other and to make matters worse THEY MADE ME PAY EARLY. like something in me told them i wasn't going to pay, im looking at the girls around me all getting their nails painted and none of them had to pay early. but i did? i gave them $43 dollars for the worst nail job of my life. genuinely crying. do not come here. read more

Kiss Nails - nail - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I just moved to the area and selected Kiss at random based on needing powder dip nails and their location. I made an appointment rather than a walk-in. My stylist was Regina. She was fabulous! Not only did she do a fantastic job resurrecting my nails, she was pleasant to talk with and very kind. I highly recommend Regina!! read more

Kiss Nails - Powder Dip Nails - Resurrecting nails in desperate need of attention! - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Only went in for a nail removal. A soak off. The woman then began to pry my nails off with another fake nail. I was wincing in pain and repeatedly asking her if we could just soak them off. She said if its too hard to pull off then we can soak it. It got to a point where i pulled my hands away and told her i will leave right now if she doesn't stop because she is literally hurting me. My nails were ripped up and in pain for days afterwards and damaged for weeks. Will never go back here! Have never been in so much pain and then ignored when i expressed it. I wish i could post negative stars, this was the worst place ever. read more

the worst nail salon I have ever been to! the unfriendly staff, lack of professionalism or care, the attitude and ridiculous high price - particular for the poor quality of service - is why I am giving this rating. the woman who did my pedicure and another one who provided pedicure to my friend, both were in great hurry, the nails weren't trimmed or shaped properly.. we had to ask. the chairs and the basin were dirty, and nail polish was old. They went to the back of the shop and added acetone to dilute the polish. The quality of polish and the way it was applied was so poor that our nails have no shine and polish is already flaking of. This service for $38! I paid extra $10 because I had the previous gel polish removed. We are glad we tried this place because we know not to ever go back and advise our contacts against their service. read more

I went in here last week to get acrylic nails. One week in and 3 had fell off. I stupidly went back to this same place to get the rest removed... the woman took another fake nail and pried my acrylics off. My nails are ruined. I was obviously wincing and in pain and she said to me "use your phone so it hurts less. You won't pay attention to me" she then charged me $10 and I left in tears with ruined nail beds. This is the most unprofessional nail salon I have ever been to. I will never go back. read more

Came here on the advice of my landlord and Fiona was nice, mani and pedi. Didn't know I had to make an appointment for deluxe pedicure when made appointment. Third place I tried in Lansing and best so far. read more

My manicure is perfect and I loved the service I recieved. Got a beautiful sparkling gel manicure and the condition of my nails and cuticles are great read more

Pedicure was wonderful!! She really took time to do a great job. Nails were average. Some bumps, and shaping is a bit awkward. A different woman did my nails than my pedicure. The woman who did my nails was a bit rough and a few times got my skin. Prices average as well. Will for sure be back for pedicure. read more

Kiss Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

This was my first time here and it was very different from other places I've been to before. I asked for a manicure, but they didn't really use many products, basically just painted my nails. There are a bunch of bubbles in my nails which I think is due to thick coats of nail polish. There is also nail polish on my fingers as the technician wasn't very neat. I ended up redoing my nails at home. read more

I have been here a few times and have loved the work. Today I went to get a manicure and the guy working on me made three of my fingers bleed. This has never happen to me while getting them done. I understand things happen, but there was no apology and he didn't offer a small amount taken off or anything. He laughed when I told him this has never happen to me when getting my nails done. I left carrying paper towel wrapped around my fingers. read more

Love this place !!! Amazing staff they never have a problem doing what I want! My favorite nail technicians here are Tiffany and Tami, both are so sweet always do a beautiful job read more

Pretty much the only place I get my nails done. Close to campus and affordable. All the ladies there are super sweet. read more

Kiss Nails - Gel Fill in - please excuse my super dry hands - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I have been going to Kiss Nails for years. Great service and good prices.

I usually get my nails done in Mason where I live, however I LOVE IT when I can get them done on my lunch hour at Kiss Nails. Jennifer is AWESOME THERE! I just love her and the way she does my nails and I am EXTREMELY PICKY. The salon has been all remodeled and looks a lot nicer now. Very bright and open. read more

I went in to get my nails done, and I asked for dip powder which I always get back home. 2 thin layers when the usual is 4, I can still see my nails, there are bumps on them from unfixed powder and she put a regular top coat on instead of the one meant for dip. To say I am disappointed is an understatement because I came here to get celebration nails for my birthday and I find myself wanted to do them myself. read more

They took off my previous gel by PEELING it off not soaking it off, ive never seen a nail salon do this before, it ripped off the whole top layer of my nail. Also, they didnt fix my cuticles or do anything with my skin around nail. The whole gel manicure only took 15 mins, other places i go take an hour. Do yourself a favor and go to creative nail spa instead! read more

My nails were all shaped crooked I asked her to fix them and they didn't get better. My nails are also very thick. She was very gentle though and the color is nice. read more

After the last place I tried ruined my nails, I'm back to Kiss Nails. I come here periodically over the years and should just stay! They do the best actual manicure and pedicure in the area in terms of trimming my cuticles and nail shape. My nails were chopped short because of how a previous salon did nail dip, so I opted for shellac instead this time. She still asked me what shape I wanted and it's perfect. My only issue in the past is the shellac chipping after 10 days or so, but most of that had to do with me being hard on my hands. They had plenty of people working to fit in both appointments and walk ins. A pedicure and shellac mani cost $54 which is as reasonable and with tip, it was over $35 less than the place I last went to. Granted, I got nail dip last time and shellac this time. read more

The mani/pedi I got was good. But I took off my watch, set it on the VERY edge closest to me when I went to wash my hands. Came back and it was GONE. I started looking around and then the woman "magically" found it in her DRAWER. Whaaaat? Her tools were no where near the very edge corner where my watch was. This was no accident. read more

Okay so I am super picky about my nails. And this is about the only place in the EL area that does a good job. They seemed to be a little more excited about those who made appointments than walk ins, that may be something I will try next time. The woman who did my nails was the perfect combination of polite but not super chatty (I can't stand that, it is my time to relax!) There was one thing that bothered me a little (not enough not to go back though). I informed them politely I was in a real rush. But just once so I didn't seem rude. But in the middle of doing my nails, the woman doing mine rolled over to her friend to talk about a new nail polish brand they had just gotten in. It wasn't a super long conversation but it made me a bit frustrated especially since I was in a hurry. I gave them a 4, assuming they aren't getting exciting new products in everyday :) Next time I go, I won't schedule things too tightly around it. read more

I went in to get a manicure done for the first time ever. I showed her what I wanted, she proceeded to do exactly what I didn't want and was being rude in general the entire time. The nail design I wanted was simple - it ended up looking like a 4 year old did it. The dip that was on my nail was also very uneven, it was thicker on a couple nails than on others, as well as there being pits and a giant bubble on my thumb. The only reason why I didn't give only 1 star is because the guy who was cleaning up and working the register was very nice and offered to give me a partial refund when I wanted to get them fixed. Still, as I was getting them fixed, the woman was annoyed that I didn't like it in the first place. Will not be going here again! read more

Friendly service, very clean, and they have iPads in the chairs. I had previously used some nail polish that stained my nails and they were really good about trying to get it off. read more

Professional, safe with COVID settings, great work! Left happy with my set and will go back.

It was the worst place EVER! Never recommend!! Expensive and people ARE NOT NICE!!! You pay for nothing!!! read more

Since Michelle is no longer the owner/ manager this place has gone down hill. They have p in there that are not licensed to do nails or waxing. Not as clean eithe. read more

Decided to try this place out as i was looking for something closer to campus and was extremely disappointed. They were the worst acrylics I have ever had. The tips were slanted, the nails were all different lengths, my coffin shape is so wide that it's basically just a square, the nails are extremely thick, and I had gel polish all over my nail bed. I had a full set done on Thursday and they were already lifting and one fell off on Monday. Not worth it, will not be going back. read more

Shellac was ruined the next day, pedicure was left with more than one toenail not completely painted. Hands down the worst nail salon I have been to. read more

Good service and a great pedicure. I am partially disabled and they have a chair that sits on the floor in addition to the ones on a raised platform, making it much easier to get in and out of the chair. I didn't want a full manicure but she shaped and put a clear coat on for no charge. Well worth the extra tip! read more

First time getting my nails done at this location and I have to say, it's worse than when I did acrylics myself. She asked me if I want gel or acrylics when I say down but I didn't know what she meant because this is only my second time getting nails done at a salon, and she looked at me really weird and never explained anything and just moved on. Then she seems irritated every time when I ask her to fix something, I'm not trying to be picky but I showed her a pic of what I want, for example, there's a triangle, but she just can't make it straight, I ask her to fix it couple of times and she has no patience. I also ask her to file the acrylics down because the acrylics is sooo THICK. I mean seriously, she didn't file enough to get a pretty shape and now I have bunch nail shapes on my fingers (coffin, round, squoval) and it looks swollen. They're attitude was so good when I was checking out. That's about it. I couldn't stand the nails so I had to add more things to it myself. She basically didy index and ring finger, and put a nude polish on my thumb, middle, and pinky finger. I had to add details to my thumb, middle and pinky finger when I got home. And I still don't like because it's just too thick. It doesn't look professional at all. They charged $38 and I am thinking about getting them removed already. read more

Maybe it is solely acrylic, but my nails were almost ruined after going to them for a couple of months! Their pedicures weren't bad, so I wouldn't mind going there for them. Don't get acrylic done there! They are too heavyhanded with the drill. Honestly, your nails will come back too thin! read more

Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Usually get shellac manicure and they do an amazing job. Lasts for around 3 weeks! Very rare to have the shellac peel or crack so I only have to go back when my nails grow out too long. Best value nail salon in the East Lansing area while on a college budget! read more

Super service! Beautiful nails At a reasonable cost. My French gel manicure lasted a month and looked fabulous read more

LOVE my nails!! I got an acrylic set and they are gorgeous. I don't know the girl that did mine but she was wonderful and easy going, even though I asked a million questions and made her change things a few times. Will definitely be going back. read more

I love the NEW Kiss Nails. Michelle runs the place and she is super nice. I go for a pedi each month and am always happy with the results. The price is right and you don't need to call ahead. I have had both Michelle and Jennifer do my toes and like both equally. Michelle is a little more chatty than Jennifer. If you are a student, they have a discounted rate. They are really advanced with the services they provide. Kiss nails is a clean and modern nail salon. I have never had any problems with germs and they clean up really well after each customer. read more

Worst pedicure ever. The lady would keep hurting me (over 3 times of me saying ouch) with the small clippers that they use around the nail. The edges of my nails are soar and hurt and one of them bled and scabbed up. I get pedis regularly and this has never happened. Also to top it off she got nail polish all over my toe. Not the nail but toe and didn't wipe it off. Go to beautiful nails down the street. So much nicer. Also your pedicure will be an hour not 20mins. Waste of money. read more
