    All I have to say is that I had a very good idea of what kind of set I wanted and Shannen delivered. I have gotten compliments about my nails and I honestly can't stop looking at them. Shannen has a good eye for detail, and she's a warm and welcoming nail tech. I didn't feel rushed and she made sure my nails were taken care of as well. These pics don't do my chrome finish justice, but they still look good.

    I had the best experience with Shannen. The quality of her service was top notch. My nails were so messed up from my last nail tech and I made it worst. But Shannen patiently rescued my nails. Right when I got there, she quickly offered me beverages and donuts! Her table was so organized and all pink. So cute! Her communication was great. She tells you what she's doing next and what it is for. She's very knowledgeable and very nice. She gave me foot massage and a complimentary eye mask massage. It was awesome, I almost fell asleep. I think I just found my new fave nail tech and a new friend. :)

    Went in to get my nails done by Shannen, after I had a terrible experience at a nail salon in La Jolla. She was very accommodating and friendly and made sure I got what I wanted. She was amazing, can't wait to go back and get a new set

    Had the most amazing nail experience with Shannen today. I moved to San Diego a year ago and haven't found a decent nail place until today. The salon is so cute and Shannen quickly offered me beverages and snacks. Shannen truly cares about her customers and the health of their nails! She took her time with my manicure and pedicure and made me feel so special. I'm so happy to have found her and recommend her to everyone

    Pink tropical nails perfectly matched my dress

    Shannen is the best! I was looking for a trusted nail tech to start an ongoing journey with, Shannen is exactly what I needed and more. She's accommodating and kind and just straight up fun at my appointments. I send her inspiration prior to my appointment and she even practiced and shared some options then executed flawlessly! I'm so happy to have found Kuko

    I've been going to O'leisure since I was 18, and now at 26, they've never disappointed me. My usual…read moresalon is the National City location, but I was in the Midway area today and decided to give that location a try for the first time and I'm so glad I did! All I can say is I'm beyond impressed and completely satisfied. The team always knows how to take care of me and really listens to exactly what I want when it comes to my nails and shaping and they nail it every single time! Highly recommend coming here. Midway might just be my new go to spot!

    If you want gel x- MAKE SURE THE TECH KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY START!…read more I came in for gel x and the woman (didn't get her name) had no idea what she was doing. She got glue/builder gel all over my skin which can contact dermatitis. I told her to remove it and just do acrylic since I've gotten reactions before and she fought me on it and told me it'll be okay once it's done. I almost walked out of the salon.. Thuan then came to my rescue and took it all off and did a great job with my acrylics. Unfortunately the 30 minutes of it being on my skin was 30 minutes too long because my skin is literally peeling off. I paid over $120 for my fingers and toes plus tip which is STEEP considering why my hands look like 2 weeks later. I also tipped the woman who did the gel x because I felt bad for wasting her time on me..

    February '26 I requested French tip with an off white/pinkish gel color that I provided (photo…read moreattached). When I told the service provider what I wanted, she said "no it doesn't look good; do white" to which I told her I like the tip color. March '26, I requested THE SAME THING from THE SAME WOMAN and she refused. She had another worker tell me. "She doesn't want to use your color because it's too sheer and she would have to do two coats". I wanted what I wanted CAUSE IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, but I didn't go back and forth and just told her no French tip. My acrylic was laid very THICK and I didn't bother like my nails overall. (Attached photo) After my service, I paid and tipped my pedicure service provider because she actually did what I wanted and did not tip the manicure provider because she REFUSED to do what I asked. She then yelled towards me as I walked out. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wouldn't go if you plan to get your nails how you would like!

    We came to Kai nails because my daughter and I wanted 30 minutes at another nail salon without…read morebeing greeted. So we took a chance on a new place and we could not have been more happy with the service and the quality of the nails we both received. Each of us got pedicures and I got a gel manicure. As someone who had been going to my old nail salon for three years I was super nervous. But both people working with me and my Daugther made us feel welcomed and provided excellent service. See you in TWO weeks!
