I was a little nervous trying a new place but expectations were surpassed. Bond, the nail tech, did his thing!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I was a little nervous but my expectations were surpassed. A lovely lady did my pedicure and it wasn't rushed, My nail tech, Bond, did his thing!! I was indecisive about the style I wanted but he clearly saw my vision. Great shaping as well. Would Recommend.

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.

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.

Chris does the absolute best nails and designs EVER!! I just show him a picture and he nails it every single time!!! Lisa does my pedicures. She's really good also. She is gentle and very thorough with cuticle care.

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

Clean space, safe!

Bond was super nice and had a great attitude! His work is incredible, met him for first time today. I am a regular here and usually see doug! This place treats customers with respect and kindness as if they were family. Love how bond's vibe was super authentic. Dip and tip was great

what i wanted /:
Keturah D.

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 /:

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! If you are looking for a neighborhood spot, in the heart of the city, with people who genuinely smile when they see you , look no more

I had a great first experience here. I will become a repeat customer because of the service I received. Friendly staff, very talented nail technicians. Attention to detail and listen to exactly what you want. Tina was my tech and I am completely satisfied with my nails.

I am very particular about my nails and since I've found Tina at KT Nails I have been so happy! Tina and Doug run a wonderful business and their staff is always kind and do a great job. They recently remodeled and the atmosphere and color choices are fantastic. I will be a forever client!

I consistently have such a great experience at Holy Chic! I typically see Rachel, and she is always…read moreso attentive and beyond patient with me (I can be indecisive and particular about my nails). Before she even gets started, she takes the time to check in about what I want to do with my nails, what my nail goals are (whether I want to keep them shorter, focus on strengthening them, etc.), and what type of manicure or pedicure I'm looking for so we can make sure it's something she's able to do and that we're on the same page. Throughout the the appointment, she will continue to check in to make sure I'm comfortable, enjoying my experience, and happy with how everything is coming together (shape, length, color, etc.). I also really appreciate that this welcoming experience goes beyond just Rachel. Everyone at Holy Chic goes out of their way to make me feel comfortable, says hello when you enter the salon, talks/engages with me, and overall makes me feel welcome whenever I'm there. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the experience they provide, and I always leave happy with my nails!

I would say this place is quite misleading. I really wanted to love this place but honestly it fell…read morebellow my expectations, a mani pedi turned into a 5 hour ordeal... To begin, it is advertised as a professional salon and services are advertised to come with consultations. I am not entirely sure what the consultation was supposed to entail but I did not receive anything. Upon walking in the front desk girl was quite off putting and I will say I felt a bit micro aggressed by her. I repeatedly told her I was here for a 2:15 appointment booked in my boyfriend's name (I said his name and how to pronounce it) and she insisted on butchering his name several times. Wasn't a fan of that. Then on came the pedicure, my appointment was scheduled with WanWan, it was going great until it came time to get my French pedicure. I showed her an image of exactly how I liked it and what I received was nothing like it. I tried to show her an example off of he internet and she apprehensively mentioned that the photo is AI and in real life it's never going to be that perfect. I proceeded to letting her know that I get French frequently and I can pull up a photo of what I like my nails to look like. You would think for a 75$ pedicure the techs would be able to mimic a sample photo and not try and convince you it's AI and that you should accept sub par work (I'll add a photo of what I got in the attachments) she asked me if I wanted a solid color instead ... and I mentioned I only chose this shade of pink under the pretenses that I was getting French. She brings over the g colors which while looking at the gel colors and picked one she let me know they may not even have that color. Bear in mind at this point I already had he pink on my toes from the French. She also said she will add the new color on top of what was on my nails which was annoying. Also she asked me if I wanted another design I asked for sample photos of pedicure designs she's done and she had none to show me. She showed me all manicures. She told me she doesn't take photos of peoples feet because she feels weird about it or something and doesn't want to photograph peoples toes. I accepted that, though with consent I don't understand the issue. Anyway as this ordeal continued she both took a picture of the photo of my foot on my phone and then SNUCK a photo of my actual foot in the moment as if I didn't see it. My thing is I didn't care but you made it a thing as to why you don't take photos of peoples feet and then you take a photo of mine without my consent. I let it rock because honestly I was just trying to get out of there but it really rubbed me the wrong way. Overall at this point just annoyed as she tried to redo the tip 3-4x with no improvement. She also cut my grown out toenails all weird so they were no longer perfectly square. Again for $75 you would think the techs are capable of just doing a simple line. Eventually once I spoke with a manager WanWan gets swapped out for Lotus (she was amazing! And she tried her best to make sure I was happy with my mani pedi) wish I had her from the start. I truly felt bad because her whole afternoon got derailed due to this mess. I was so over being there that I didn't even bother getting gel on my hands so just got a clean up mani which also cost $35... all in all I feel like I just wasted 5 hours of my life I cannot lie. A bit frustrated overall but I am happy with how my toes came out (THABK GOD FOR LOTUS). I probably wouldn't come back here if I wanted French, and honestly if you're paying $95 for a service like this I feel like you would expect a certain level of professionalism and capability? Idk. Praise Lotus though. I will say proper customer service would have offered me some sort of discount or something for all the inconveniences but no I was stuck with a $95 bill. Which I paid it but I also had 5 hours wasted down the drain as previously stated I probably won't come back, might have considered it if they offered me something for the inconvenience but all in all it is what it is at this point. All in all way too overpriced for the kind of service you receive.

I've had facials, pedicures, manicures, and massages here. Every time I've enjoyed my service as it's a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It isn't stressful or loud. It's exactly the vibe you want when heading for a self care day. The products they use are 100% house-made and organic. I've had skin reactions before, but never here. As a matter of fact, other spas have left my face looking red and inflamed after facials - I leave here glowing. Now I can't speak to any of the other massage therapists here, but Tsondu is who I see any time I'm seeking a massage. I truly feel like he is a healer in some way. I leave relaxed and I'm always comfortable throughout the service. I'm love the new location and I can't wait to come back soon!

I occasionally enjoy a good pedicure, as I do a master barber straight edge head shave, even though I'm bald, and usually shave myself. Mostly because I'm obsessive about keeping my foot-claws trimmed and clean. (Part of me hopes the rest of humanity felt the same way, but I digress). When I cut my own, I cut them short enough to feel pain for days, and have been known to mistake a sharp nail edge for just that, and ripped out a hangnail or entire pinky toe nail right off. The bleeding takes forever to stop. Again, ain't nobody got time for that. This spotless clean business, (including impeccable restrooms), does things right.

We arrived a bit early, but they were able to to get us situated in the massage chair while they finished with other customers and another manicurist came in to take care of us as well. Everyone was very friendly. The shop was very clean. My mom was complaining that her finger nails had really gotten beaten up going through the airport. She didn't want a full manicure, but she was really unhappy with her hands. Her manicurist said she could fix her hands, just clean them up really nice with a clear coat.

My pedicure service began at about 5:25 p.m. and it was over by 5:45 p.m. I've never in my decades of pedicures gotten a 20 minute pedicure. They're usually 45-60 minutes!

She apologized for the wait, but once again, she zipped through my dip so quickly... a mere 25 minutes when it's normally 65-75! I mean, why work so fast now? There were no other clients. Take your time with my nails and do a good job! She cut my nails way too short. She did next to nothing with my cuticles. And my final result shows ridges and file marks in my nails!

Feet feels like baby skin :)) Update: Afterwards, I got a manicure done. Probably one of the worst experience. The nails are okay but seemed very rushed. I also got nipped by the nail drill. No big deal, she said she was sorry which I said it's alright then she proceeded to follow up with "you moved so that's why it happened". Okay, I already forgave you. Now don't try to shift blame and not take accountability. Before she put the pink gel on that I didn't approve i told her i wanted a milky white background for my French manicure. She proceeded to still put the pink and say "it will be painted milky white after. Of course I would trust the professional right? WRONG. She handed me off to another tech to finish my French manicure and I told the guy what I wanted...Milky white background. In disappointment he said why did she put the pink instead of the milky white. Then apologized and said if we do the milky white it would make the nail thicker which I specifically said I didn't want (I wanted my nails thin". I had to settle for the pink which I didn't want because I didn't want to waste anymore of my time. At the end I paid $155 and they kept demanding tip. I gave $5 and they said "between the three??" And I'm like???? I tipped Kathy very well because I know hard work, dedication, and care but if you give me Mickey Mouse how can you expect tip??? Come on now, let's use our brains instead of having it there for decoration. Thank you Kathy and screw everyone else there!!
