AMAZING!!! I called bc I was in the plaza & went tanning. I needed to desperately get my nails fixed by someone who clearly DID NOT know what she was doing! Mary fixed them BEYOND perfection!! She exceeded My expectations! I just moved here from Michigan and 1000% would recommend her to ANYONE. Thank you Mary! You honestly made my day read more

KT Bails is very clean and it is easy to get an appointment. It has a very pleasant atmosphere! I don't know about the drop in experience, because I always call for an appointment. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Not very friendly and very over priced. My regular place was booked and I went there in a pinch. She charged 5.00 to remove gel, more to cut down, cut down way too short, charged more for debit and there's a book to choose colors, you are not allowed to look at polish. Won't be going back read more

OM! This salon is wonderful! I had made my appointment for 330 but was running late from a doctor's appointment. I called and the staff Mary I think, was very understanding and moved my appointment to 4. This salon is so clean and I watched as they sanitized after every client. Kim was so nice and gentle that I nearly fell asleep from the hot stone massage. I had a mani pedi and an eyebrow wax. I will definitely return! read more

I have been going to Mary for my nails for over 20yrs. Some of that time she was working for another business and then at KT when she opened her own salon. She is very professional and does amazing work.. she does her best to fit me in if I need to reschedule. She is always able to duplicate any photo i bring of what I want for a design. Her staff is great as well. I would never trust my nails to anyone but Mary . read more

KT Nails Salon - These are my nails 5 days after I got them done... - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

Was in town for business and desperate for a pedicure. Just happened upon this spot, driving by and seeing from the street. What you see and what you get are two different things - unassuming & relatively plain location, was not terribly busy today, but what a FANTASTIC pedi! The hot stone massage to end it off was a real treat. Sat in a chair next to a woman who was being tended to by the owner, Mary. Mary was incredibly personable and greeted just about every person who walked through the door by name..... I will definitely come back next time I am in town. read more

WORST acrylic set I've ever gotten! First off: they cram too many appointments into one day so my manicure was rushed Second: she stopped to answer the phone about 15 times which I feel is a little unprofessional. Third: my nails aren't even in length, they're pointed upward and she put the thinnest layer of acrylic powder on them. I definitely wasted my money here because I'm 100% going to get them fixed elsewhere. I ABSOLUTELY will never go here again, don't waste your money. read more

I've been going to KT Nails for a long time and highly recommend this salon. It's very clean and the prices are reasonable. Mary and her staff are very friendly. I get gel manicures and regular pedicures and am always happy with the results. They offer walk ins but I would recommend making an appointment as they are usually busy. I've been to other nail salons and KT Nails is by far my favorite. read more

KT Nails Salon - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

This place was not good! I had come here after TWO other nail salons had messed up my nails, hoping they could fix them before I leave town for an important event. I am a model & entertainer so my nails need to be perfect and they need to last! I came in and the nail tech told me to sit down, examined my nails, and even she could see what a horrible job the last place did. That was reassuring to me. I wanted the same exact design just done correctly! She re-did the gel polish and then went to design my one nail. She insisted she knew how to do a leopard print design and she didn't, so I told her to forget that and do tiger stripes bc that's easier. Still not great... but I decided it was good enough. Then for the rhinestones she didn't even use glue! She thought they'd stay just using the gel polish! I figured I'd have faith.... Well 4 hours later I had taken a shower and did a load of laundry and 4 rhinestones had already fallen off!!! I was upset bc I'm busy getting ready to leave town and I paid $40 just for her to change the polish, so a design, and put rhinestones on which seemed super pricey :-/ Update: I went back into the salon today and was greeted by the same nail tech who didn't do my nails correctly the first time. I told her I wanted to remove the rhinestones completely and just repaint them. She insisted she could fix the problem without having to do all that, so I sat down. She literally took nail glue and ran it across all my rhinestones and fastened new ones on where they had come off!! NOT EVEN ANY CLEAR COAT AFTER!! Then she had the nerve to tell me that she was done and they were fixed and that she wouldn't charge me for today!! WHAT?! So disgusting! I walked out super aggravated and now have to just pray they are okay and put clear coat on myself at home. That is some audacity right there! It's almost like she doesn't even want customers ‍ Good thing I have an appointment with a REAL nail tech who takes pride in her work next week! Never coming here again! read more

The lady who did my nails messed up COMPLETELY, she first forced me to get gel bails which cost more even though I already had a color picked out. When I finally agreed to get the gel, she made me choose quickly and then she gave me the wrong color. My nail polish is super chunky and uneven with the color. She didn't even cut my cuticles. Would not go back again :( read more

Got a pedicure with a friend. $25 which was reasonable for a spa pedicure. The workers seemed less than thrilled to be there. But the place itself was your typical nail salon and we had no complaints. I asked that they be gentle around a toe I had stubbed and they obliged. I will make an appointment for another pedi this summer. read more

I've been here twice now, first time for a pedicure which was great. Today I had natural nails with gel on, but they are very thin and one broken. She talked me into an acrylic set which was great because they look fantastic. Very professional lady who worked on me named Tee. I will definitely be back. The cutest thing i saw was 2 pedicure chairs just for kids - one little kitty one for 3-7 yr olds and a preteen butterfly one. Great idea! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Katie did an amazing job and it was totally worth it! The pedicure was so relaxing and much needed. It is very well kept and the nail techs are very friendly! They recently upped the prices but it was still worth every penny! I will be going there for my nails now! read more

Let me start off by saying the staff is friendly and the prices great! If you want to save money go here, but you will sacrifice quality. I really don't understand how this salon is rated so high. Better to bring your own polish. The nail chips are so old that the colors are not one bit representative of the actual colors. Also, they say they have regular polish to match some of their gels, but it is not the case. I was disappointed with the quality of the work as well. I had dark gray gel on (which was supposed to be light gray, but the girl used the wrong color last time) and they did not do a good job removing the gel. So now it looks like my nails are dirty because remnants of the dark gray are showing through all around the edge of my pale pink gel. I gave them two tries, and both times were a fail. I will not be back. read more

K Nail did a great job on my gel manicure. They saw my friend and I in a timely fashion and the salon is clean and bright. They have a great selection of gel nail colors. Would go again next time I am in Rochester. read more

Best of all salon worlds at k nail. Definitely a notch above other typical Asian salons, but still the same great value. Good work, professional and clean environment. One of their techs, Mike, annoyed me in a big way in a prior visit but the rest are great. Make an appointment ahead of time so you don't wind up wasting the trip. Only one person does waxing so make sure to specify you need that when you call. read more

Very nice for s quick pedicure. They accommodated me on short notice and did a great job.

Came here at 10am with my friend to get gel manicures. They didn't have an opening so we made appointments for 1pm to get gel manicures TOGETHER. At 1pm, 2/3 technicians were taking care of other people. The 3rd employee said he could take one of us. We then told them we had made the appointment for 1pm for both of us together to which they pointed at 2 seats that were open but were separated by 3 seats that 2 were already filled. 1) What is the point of making an appointment if you can't staff it and 2) why would you have us sit separate when we made the appointment so we could be next to each other so we wouldn't have to yell across people?! Horrible service and a god awful smell of chemicals. We left and made appointments at a salon down the road that could accommodate us. read more

Booked a surprise Mother's Day mani and pedi for my mother and aunt today and they loved it! The quality and experience was top notch. They both are planning to go back soon! Highly recommend! Prices are super fair. read more

I was very happy to find this place while I was on vacation as I hadn't had a chance to get a pedi before I left home. Interestingly, for some reason the price I pay for a spa pedi in Los Angeles is about half what I pay in Rochester. But I was very pleased with my experience here, and I would definitely return again. The salon was clean and quiet with a relaxing vibe. I had a comfy spa chair and the technician gave me a very good leg massage. Most importantly, I didn't get the feeling that the workers were talking about the clientele in Vietnamese like so often happens at other places; in fact, there was no chit-chat amongst them at least while I was there. Three weeks later my pedi is still in great shape with no chips or flakes. Good job! read more

Amazing! Best pedi in Roc! After having a terrible (read: they butchered my toe!) at another salon, I had my first pedi in over 6 months here. The staff is friendly and considerate and do fabulous work. Walk ins are welcome, but sometimes it can get busy so call ahead if you are on a right schedule. read more

I would love to say I had a great manicure at this place because the employees are absolutely wonderful. But I didn't. Before I left the establishment I noticed there were bubbles in my nails. I showed my technician and she added another topcoat. It didn't help much. This morning I woke up to having 3 of my nails cracked and the rest having black beads showing through the nail polish. I have never experienced something like this before. Plus I paid an extra $3.00 for longer lasting nail polish and its already chipping. Very disappointed. read more

I have had acrylic nails for over 30 years at various places. A friend referred me to Mary at K Nail and I couldn't be happier. She provides excellent service and is always on time and fun to talk too! The salon is very clean and relaxing and the prices are very reasonable. I absolutely love it there! Mary is the BEST!!! read more

To begin, if I could have given 0 stars I would have. This is a must read for all those new to the Rochester area. My experience was horrendous. Being new to town I was looking for something close by. I found the salon and saw mixed reviews but decide to give it a try. Walking in, the place looks dirty and the longer you sit there you can see more and more wrong with it. It's just gross. All I wanted was to remove the little gel left on my nails and a new (not gel) manicure. Looking at the very small selection of colors nothing was organized, the bottles were nearly empty or had nail polish stuck all over the outside (again just dirty). I ended up asking if they just had a clear coat because I saw nothing amongst the chaos. She did not have one and so I settled on a creamy white/clear she picked. Then she had to remove my gel and she used an electric file which became very hot and burning my hands and as I would (gently) flinch she got more and more angry. She then began rushing through. Left the acetone for all of 10 seconds before scraping and filing my nails even more. My nails looked awful (scratched/dented/uneven) and she didn't even try to fix them. The worst part though she dug a hole into my finger with the file due to her rushing she began filing my skin. I began to bleed and she proceeded with the "manicure" and didn't say a word. By the end, I left with awful nails (you could actually see all the scratches through the nail polish), no lotion, no hand massage, a bleeding finger, no back massage (you know the quick one while you begin drying). Maybe I was just spoiled at the salon I used to go to but at least there it was full service and you got what you paid for. DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

I'm not one to ever write a bad review or any reviews at all but my experience here was not good.So upset at the results, I went in for a full set and showed the lady working a picture of what I wanted and my nails came out nothing like it. All my nails are crooked and slanted to one side more than the other, it's just a big mess.Besides that she was extremely rough and now my nails are in a lot of pain and my cuticles burn. Would not recommend this place. read more

I generally have a bad experience when I come to this salon. There's only one good manicurist, Mary. The rest are sloppy and sometimes rude. I'm officially done with them. Don't waste your time and money. read more

I know people are just trying to make a living but my experience here was so bad I honestly will reconsider ever getting a manicure or pedicure. The water was scalding hot and the woman was so rough with the skin of my legs. I shaved my legs the previous day so my skin was more raw and sensitive than I realized, but aren't most people shaving their legs before a manicure? The exfoliater she was rubbing fiercely onto my skin was so painful, and I thought she was going to rub the callouses off my feet to the point of raw skin, I was cringing the whole time. And there wasn't a foot massage! She rubbed my legs but not my feet... It's a pedicure after all. Then my hands, oh my god. My acrylic nails are so crooked and bulky, I'm honestly a little embarrassed. They look fake, and I prefer nails to look natural. They are wide and not elegant and slender, and a few nails are completely uneven. And to make it worse, there was no hand massage! There was no rubbing, no lotion applied, nothing. My hands were so dry after the manicure that I had to ask for lotion. I asked her to make the nails less fat and bulky, I don't want nails that come up half an inch, and she did a good job with one hand then rushed over the second hand, and gave it an extra layer of polish so one hands nails are noticeably thicker. I actually left this place stressed and disappointed. read more

After being disappointed by Beautiful Nails on E. Henrietta & Calkins (they etched a deep line into the nail bed at the cuticle that remains visible through fills) and Nail Studio in Marketplace Mall (they filled over lifted edges of previous fill so they were visible under new fill AND they filed too low on my nail beds which HURT), I tried Mary at K Nail based on a high recommendation. Mary was sensitive to these issues (still visible under the current fill) and, although my desire was to completely remove the bad jobs and start from scratch, she knew my nail beds would be too thin in places and it would hurt and likely damage them to do that. So, even though removing and doing new ones would be more money, she compassionately recommended that she cleans up the bad jobs as best as she can and then do a pink fill to better hide any remaining imperfections. This actually cost me LESS than the painful and terrible job done at the mall, and the result was very pretty! I've found my go-to nail girl now. Thanks, Mary! read more

Today was my second time coming in here. The first time, I didn't have a lot of issues. They could have done a better job but I just moved here from Miami and I just thought the standard of service is different in this town. Today, like last time, I wasn't impressed with the way they did my nails. I felt like they rushed it, and some parts of my manicure were still transparent so I could have used another coat of polish. I learned the hard way that they don't take American Express. When I asked if I could call in my credit card information from a different card company, she was very rude and said no because they had problems before. I live 40 minutes away and I was not in the mood to drive an hour and 20 minutes just to pay for a $20 manicure. Mary or whoever I spoke to had no sympathy and told me to deal with it even though I offered to even send them a photo of my credit card (isn't that trusting them a LOT?). She said she could wait until 7pm for me to come back with different credit card, acting like I have nothing else to do with my life except drive around for 2 hours to pay for a $20 service. In the end, I had to drive to target across the street and purchase a $25 visa gift card along with a $5 activation fee ($30 total) and drive back to the salon and pay them with the gift card. When I walked in, a RUDE employee asked with the most snarky tone, "are you feeling okay?" Because I was so upset about being put through SUCH a hassle to get a stupid $20 polish change. Since I just moved here I thought this would be my go-to nail salon since my first manicure was OK (so-so but not terrible) and I did drive 40 minutes to be THEIR customer. I will not be back, I don't appreciate the attitude I got from everybody there. I felt very unwelcome. I will have to try wonder nails or something next time. If you want a proper manicure and feel like a valued customer do not go here. If you want an in and out rushed manicure from people who have no respect for your time then you will be ok going here. For $20, they just lost a long time customer. read more
