5‑Star I had such an amazing experience at KT Nails. I came in for a fill‑in and an eyebrow wax, and both services were absolutely flawless. My nails came out smooth, perfectly shaped, and so elegant. The eyebrow wax was gentle, precise, and left my brows looking clean and naturally sculpted. What really sets KT Nails apart is the remodel -- the moment you walk in, it feels like a high‑end spa. The space is stunning: modern, calming, and beautifully put together. The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay and relax a little longer. The staff is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure you leave feeling pampered. I walked out feeling refreshed, polished, and already excited for my next visit. If you're looking for luxury, cleanliness, and top‑tier service, KT Nails is the place. Highly recommend. read more

KT Nails - I was a little nervous trying a new place but expectations were surpassed. Bond, the nail tech, did his thing!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This is my favorite nail salon in Richmond. The staff are excellent and always do a great job. It's worth the drive and the wait.

I got a mani here and my nails are beautiful after coming here, they didn't disappoint and did so good, they had all the extra services also including a hand massage and lotion. Their service was very friendly and the place was super laid back and a nice place to get your nails done:)) read more

I was very hesitant to make this review as it was only my second time ever going to this nail salon. However, this second time around I was left extremely disappointed. The lady who did my nails left them lumpy and did not polish them correctly as the nail polish was bubbling the next day. I let the manager know of this issue and was able to get it fixed free of charge. Unfortunately, the other lady who fixed my nail also left them lumpy and bubbling over. I don't under the issue! I have now started to file away at the nail polish because it looks plain ugly. I will not be coming back here, which is unfortunate because I live close by and the workers are polite. Do not come unless you are booking with the younger nail techs who work there. read more

I went to KT nails with my 2 co workers for the first time. The other coworker has been going there for a while and wanted us to try it out since we are new to the area. Our appointment was at 5pm I believe. One of us got there on time and they started with her right away. I got there about 7 mins late and had to wait about 15 to 20mins to get started with my nails. My first time, I got the off white, short and simple. I believe the owner did my nails. Honestly I didn't think he paid attention to what I wanted, the shape was wrong and I didn't like it. He kept looking around the whole time to make sure everything was alright with everyone and having conversations with everyone. But it is alright. My other co worker didn't like her nails either. We showed them pictures of what we wanted and we didn't think they look similar. My second time there, I prayed I will not get the owner to do my fill in. I went with the same co workers. We were the first people there when they opened and we got started right away. I got a lady do my fill, I don't know her name. I showed her a picture of what I wanted. She took a picture of it with her phone so she can look at it while doing my nails. I thought that was pretty nice and thoughtful of her. I think she did an amazing job. My other co worker also loved her nails the 2nd time. Jack did her nails and did great. My other co worker showed them a picture of what she wanted and they had a hard time with it, had to redo it over and over again. Jack stepped in later on to help but still couldn't get it right. She hated her nails and ended up going to another place the next day to redo her nails. Overall, my experience has been okay and plan on going back, I was impressed that my nail tech took her time my 2nd time there. Also the place is nice and clean, that's a plus. read more

Original person who did my nails was nice & my nails came out flawless unfortunately before she started i informed her that i might need my nail cut .. she attempted to save it & it broke with 2 days .. i came back to get it fixed & the owner is completely rude & did not even look me in the face ... i'm not sure if it's a race thing but i definitely tipped my nail text well & was not rude ... i'm very unpleased & will fix my own nail & NOT RETURN OR RECOMMEND read more

My feet was rushed.. I got gel polish on my toes and it started coming off a week later from me getting my toes done. Service is not good

I went in for a quick decoration on my nails and even though I kept asking her to bring the color down so my nails look seamless she wouldn't and acted like she understood so I eventually gave up. The nails looked nothing like I wanted. The pedicure I got had my big toe nails of different lengths just easily you could tell. If you come be sure to not budge on what you want because they won't listen /: read more

The pedicure turned out okay but unfortunately have to give two stars to the toxic masculine gym bro nail tech that told me my pink tips pedicure "wouldn't look good" and was insistent to the point where I changed my Barbie-themed nails and went with something more basic. There are pictures online from their reviews with different color tips so I'm not sure why he didn't ask for a picture or more clarity. Instead, he continued to repeat "it's not going to look good". I don't know if it was due to laziness, lack of creativity, or not wanting to engage with a queer person. It was a weird and subtly disrespectful tone that put a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it's obvious to others but it also would have been nice to know the price of the tips before having to pay at the register instead of what felt like sneaking it in. read more

I come here religiously for the amazing services and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone I have worked with has been kind, professional, and accommodating. Only place I will go in Richmond!

Took my daughter there for manis and pedis for her college graduation. It was a Wednesday at 4:00, busy time, also because of graduation that weekend. I understand. But you couldn't pay me to go back to this place. Our techs did the bare minimum. My daughter should have been pampered and was instead made to feel like she was being a nuisance. They sat us together for our pedicures but then my gal set me up in between two strangers when there was a bunch of spots where my daughter ended up. She didn't cut my cuticles much, didn't massage my legs barely nor my arms/hands at all, and she certainly didn't prep my fingernails at all because it was a shoddy job to begin with and they were chipping the next morning. By the end of the day, the polish was literally just coming off in whole pieces. Now, I know I don't pay big bucks to get tips and dips or even gels. I don't expect my nails to last more than 4 days at most with a regular manicure. But the next morning? I had showered and that's it, so it wasn't that I was hard on them. My daughter's nails were okay but he didn't cut her cuticles so her tips and her polish looked like it was a week old right after he did it! I can do better than these people and it lasts way longer! The noxious smell, the horrible noise, the constant chatter all got on my nerves, but especially that smell. Cannot be safe to be breathing that in, even for an hour. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Avoid this place. Go anywhere else. I've had bad manicures before but there's no reason to go here when there's a million other places than can surely do better. I don't think they're even that cheap either. You can spend that kind of money on people who actually do the correct job. read more

Honesty as far as nail shops go this one has been great to me ! The wait is minimal and the staff is really kind even with a language barrier! My nails last a month + and the prices are pretty good read more

I am honestly appalled at this place.. The only plus about my visit was that I was seen almost immediately without an appointment. Everything was going fine until my nails were soaking and the lady doing my nails started cutting HER OWN toenails, she then proceeds to remove my gel polish without even washing her hands. She also tried to use the same cuticle cutter on my nails until I asked her to use another pair. I always get funny bunny as my color - The way that it was being applied resulted in a splotchy mess to the point where another nail technician had to paint my 2nd and 3rd coats and even the result of that was only okay. It still looks very thick and inconsistent. Upon further investigation on my nails I found that there is lint stuck under a layer of my gel polish on one of my fingers. This place wasn't the cleanest and service was 2/10 at best. I would literally recommend anywhere BUT this place. Rule of thumb: If your nail techs nails are not in good shape, your nails probably won't turn out so great either. Update: My nail already chipped and it's been 1 day read more

they did it again!!!! hooked me right on up!... as always i love my nails... pedicure and brows looking good too... love love this salon! read more

I never write reviews, but I've been coming to KT Nails for a few years now and it definitely deserves a better rating. I always call before coming in (always the morning of the day I want to go in) and they get me an appointment every time. I never feel rushed when I'm in there. The past 3 time's I've gone to get acrylics/fill-in's and I show them a design I see online that I like and they've always been able to do it! They take their time with the designs and I come out loving them each time! The prices are extremely reasonable as well!! read more

First time coming to this place & there were 6 customers in front of me & I only had to wait 15 minutes. Wait time was very short & everyone was very sweet.

I randomly decided to get my nails done while I was on a trip to Richmond. I walked in with no appointment. Even though they were very busy I was quickly seen and was seated for a pedicure straight away. I opted for a basic pedi and omber style acrylic. The lady attending to me was very kind and did the job amazing. My feet felt fresh. After I was moved to a different table for my hand nails. The guy [name have forgotten] I believe was the owner. He was amazing as well. Gave me exactly what I wanted. He did a lovely job and i cant wait to come back. read more

KT Nails - Beautiful ombre acrylic nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

UPDATE: called and told them what happened, they redid them for me for free! However, the tools were still not sanitary. I went as a walk-in one morning on my way to work to get a gel manicure. Their tools didn't look like they really sanitized them, they were sitting in a small jar of solution and reused their buffers and nail files for each client. She did a good job painting my nails but didn't let them cure under the light as long as other salons do, which made me nervous, and didn't clean my nails with alcohol before applying the base coat of gel. As soon as I got to the office I was washing my coffee cup out and my polish started peeling clean off!! It came completely off, didn't even have to pick it (see photo below) For $28 and they peeled off 30 minutes later. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

While in town visiting for a special occasion, I decided to stop in for a manicure & pedicure. After reading the reviews, I expected the same level of service I've been receiving at other nail spas for decades. Instead, the nail tech was rushing and not paying attention to detail. I had to ask her to go over my cuticles again and better. My manicure looks like it was done using a chainsaw. Don't waste your time or money going here. I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. VERY DISSAPOINOINTING. read more

KT Nails - Hack job manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

DO NOT allow Tammy to pamper or beautify your nails! She is extremely rude and lacks customer service skills. During my visit I received a nail repair and fill in. While repairing my nail Tammy literally yanked my nail off! She was not apologetic or attempted to comfort my discomfort. I arrive to the salon at 4:57 and did not get serviced until 5:51 (which is not a problem). The problem begins when the technician rushes to get me out of the chair after I waited almost a hour to be serviced. In addition to, I asked different nail enhancement items such as, glitter and stickers and the employee refused to put these enhancements on my nails. I am not knocking the establishment because I am a regular customer. JUST DO NOT ALLOW TAMMY TO WORK ON YOUR NAILS. Her workstation is on the second row on the far right end. read more

didn't even try to clean up my cuticles which I feel is pretty standard procedure... I also asked for dip and tip but the person who was doing my nails for some reason only did the dip. I guess I should of been paying more attention to what they were doing and not just assume they knew what I wanted. Or I could have made them redo it. I guess just make sure you remind them of what you want in specific detail and you should be fine. Or don't feel bad about it and make them redo it. I don't know. And I actually take back my previous statement, they did try to take off a hang nail with their fingers. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful, and the hang nail still remains. Also I had a friend who I think once got the victim C cuticle oil add on. It apparently stained her hands yellow, so watch out for that. read more

I've given this place a few chances now because their prices are great, but each time, I've gotten a full set of gel nails with tips that doesn't even last 2 weeks. This time they started coming off around day 10. A decently applied gel set has lasted me at least 2 weeks in the past - usually closer to 3. The staff are very kind, affordable, and quick. I hate to not return, but I'm not really saving any money if I have to replace my full set 2-3 times a month, before I can even come in for a fill. If you need your nails done at the last minute and don't need them to last or intend to keep them up, then this place is a great deal. If not, I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

I was visiting family in Richmond and went to KT Nails for mani / pedis and it was amazing!!! I was nervous since I'm from out of town and never used them. I'm picky with my nails. I was most impressed with my full set of pink and white nails. I had Tina and she listened and did them just how I asked. I like mine a little shorter and I love how they turned out! Don't huddle my old hands in the picture LOL just the beautiful nails please :). I highly recommend this place. read more

I love getting my nails done here. They take walk-ins and can squeeze me in if I call and make a last minute reservation. I usually get a gel French manicure, with an occasional ledicure. The people who do your nails are always friendly and like to get to know their customers. I usually treat myself a few times a year, but the nail lady always remembers me (which is really nice!). For a gel French manicure, it's $30, which is really affordable and they always do a great job. Another plus is that they are located near the VCU Monroe park campus, so I can stop by during my lunch break! I highly recommend this place! read more

KT Nails - Gotta love a fresh gel French tip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Their regular nail polish selection is very very poor and the bottles are looking very old, used etc. I usually get regular polish but I was pushed to pick a gel colour since the regular colours were not passable. At first l was quiet happy with my gel mani&pedi but a few days later, I realized the polish started way off my cuticles so my nails looked like a few weeks old already after day 4. The pedicure was descent, but the staff are usually not attentive to listen to what client says. It also took two hours, way too long. Especially the owner had a very snobby attitude (I assume she is the owner, the lady who takes care of all the money and organizes everything). After all, I don't go to a saloon only to get my nails done, I also go to relax and enjoy it. I simply didn't feel welcomed. read more
