This is the BEST place we've had pedicures at in Hampton Roads!!! Greeted immediately upon walking in with a very happy vibe. The place is clean and very well kept. Wifey did the regular pedi w/ a French manicure = perfect! I did the spa pedi ($45) and it was the best. Best I've had in the area. 5 stars for just the calf massage! Wifey also had her eyebrows waxed and they came out great. They do all the things and the whole staff was super friendly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Cute shop, you get a different experience every time you go in so that's why I'm taking off one star since it's different based upon the day I guess. Sometimes I'm offered a drink when I come in sometimes I'm not sometimes when I get a fill, they put lotion on my hand and do a little massage and sometimes they do not. I will say I really like how Jasmine shapes my nails and if you want a cute design, she's your girl the place itself is a little pricey when you start doing nail design so make sure you ask before they do it so you're not surprised by a crazy bill at the end. read more

MK Nails First - Fill and art design on 1 nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I've been here twice for pedicures with my wife. The staff is friendly, the salon is clean, and the pricing is fair. The services have been good both times, and we've left happy with the results. My only small complaint is that the salon is very brightly lit, which makes it a little harder for me to fully relax during a pedicure. That's just a personal preference, though. Overall, a good experience and a place I'd recommend. read more

Pleasantly surprised about how nice this salon is. It's clean and looks like they keep it more sanitary than local nail salons I have visited lately. The employees and owner were present and were very nice. They even offered 2 free nail designs for kids, just know it's two only, not two per hand. I assumed it was 2 per hand so when they told me that it was an up charge for the extra two I'm positive I must have made a face because they didn't charge me in the end. The young man who did my mani/pedi did a good job but the owner had to step in when it came to the tiny designs. He did try though. Only negatives about his manicure job is that I had to keep pointing out that he filed a few nails unevenly but fixed them when I asked. No complaints in English but he was speaking to the other young man the whole time while doing my nails in a different language. So who knows. Then their white gel nail polish was old, he was literally digging in to it to get some on his brush and there were black specs inside which made him have to wipe and redo the nails again a few times until he grabbed another almost empty white bottle. Which worked. I believe this caused bubbles in the gel because I had to point out to him that there were bubbles in my cured gel, he just said he'd fix it by cutting them out. Which he did with a cuticle cutter but then it left an indent in my nail polish. The nails and pedi came out pretty, eventually, for the price I just wish the design wasn't rushed. Overall I'm not displeased but not against trying another facility before coming back. *update: My mani nails only lasted a week before starting to peel off, which makes me so sad because I did like the design for the most part. Pedi nails are still going strong though. read more

I wish I could leave 0 stars because this place is absolutely ridiculous. If you have a gift card--don't plan on using it!!!!! Their employees have no idea how to look it up or use their system without the owner. An absolute shame, I can't even use my birthday gift. Do not recommend. read more

I took my daughter here for a mani pedi. Everyone was absolutely wonderful and pleasant. We were walk-ins and they immediately helped us. They treated us both (even though I was only there to make Dad jokes) with so much kindness and respect. The atmosphere was fun and all staff and customers seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. We will definitely return. read more

MK Nails First - Dip polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

David did my nails. It was my last day of vacation before heading home, and I owed my SIL a little bit of relaxing time out. It was packed in here, and people still kept coming while we were in there. Took less than 45 minutes total. I got a gel manicure. She got a gel pedicure with a foot massage. Overall, this place was decent. Not expensive, but you get what you pay for. I won't be back. The parts by my cuticles weren't done very nicely, so when my nails grew out, it looked all sorts of crazy. After a week, my hair was pulling on my nails because of the gel. read more

A.J. - horrible. Will not be going back for nail service but will go back to the person who did my pedi. A.J. was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Did not respond to me when I stated he hurt me twice with the drill file. I said "Ow, that hurt" TWICE and the man didnt acknowledge me at all. At the end he surprise charged me for a service that I didnt receive. I pointed it out and he was flustered, said "ok fine, if you dont wanna pay that, thats fine. Dont pay it." and he left to get the owner. She was professional and nice, kept apologizing. He should be working somewhere he does not have to deal with people at all. read more

This is by far my favorite nail salon! David is my favorite... he does a really good job and with a pedi, omg, it is amazing after a hard days work. Love coming here!! My daughter gets her nails here too and the only place that treats her like adult. If you are looking for a place that does great work and very friendly, please come here. read more

Got a pedicure here and they did a great job at a decent price! The staff is super friendly

It was nice to be able to make an appointment for us and our granddaughters all together on a Sunday. That said, they tried to charge us the adult price for the kids mani/pedi. And although I've been assured that it's normal, they added eye drops to the nail polish, which I find a little disconcerting. And my nails look like there's bubbles or grit in the polish. Won't be going back. read more

Linda is absolutely amazing every time come here for my nails. She added facials to her resume did a great job. So relaxed and refreshed when I left. read more

Kayla was AMAZING! Excellent service and rapport. I received my first microshading service because I have naturally thin eyebrows and I'm not good at drawing them on. My eyebrows look so natural and full, not bushy or overdone. I'd definitely recommend Kayla. My mom is now thinking about getting hers done too! read more

MK Nails First - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I recently moved from Virginia Beach to Moyock so I have been desperately trying to find somewhere and someone that compared to my previous nail tech Megan in Strawbridge, and warning I'm about to be cringey. Julie at MK Nails First, NAILED IT . Ok, I warned you! She took her time but also didn't take a painfully long time. I usually don't have special requests just pick my color and carry on but I showed her a photo and she looked very quickly and said "OK, pick the colors and I'll do that". I was a bit hesitant because I didn't feel like she looked long enough and it was a french tip but curved so I felt like I was gonna end up with a nail shape and tip shape I didn't want. I left the salon feeling like my nails looked JUST like the reference photo! She recommended to do acrylic in order to get the length/shape I wanted, so I did. My nails have been breaking off so some were long enough others weren't. I mentioned to her that I usually do gel polish and haven't done acrylic in a very long time and she made sure to make it look natural. Thank you Julie, you did an amazing job and I will be back! read more

Kayla and everyone there is awesome! Reasonably priced and the services are great. I know every nail salon is the same, but this one is different. Everyone felt like friends and family which I loved!! Very good service and very good work!!! read more

I dropped by and was so happy to get a great manicure for a great price... will be dropping by for mani/pedi very soon!

I went in as a walk in on a Monday afternoon for a french manicure; it wasn't very busy. I was warmly greeted. Price was reasonable. Nail tech did a good job! I'm a little OCD, and feel the detail on a couple of fingers is a little sloped to the slide, but it's not that noticeable. Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome. read more

MK Nails First - French Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I recently moved to Chesapeake from Virginia Beach and was hesitant to find another nail salon. I tried Nails First the week after we moved in and I won't go anywhere else again! I've had my nails done by three different people there and they all did a fantastic job, but my favorite was AJ! He's engaging, professional, proficient and does an amazing job! The prices here are a little higher than I was paying in VAB, but the service is so much better at Nails First! I took my elderly Mother and Aunt (both in their 70's), there for a mani/pedi, and Kayla, Tien, and AJ were so nice to them and made them feel welcome. Good customer service is so important to me. Along with a great set of nails, I'm always satisfied and won't be going anywhere else! read more

Just UGH. Just want to get the job done. Don't care about the customers at all. They are all about the money.

I went there to get my gel taken off and have a manicure- basically she trim my cuticles and filed my nails. No polish. They charged me $20. While everyone was very friendly I thought the price wasn't warranted. Will not be going back. read more

Tim has been doing my nails for 10+ years! I always have a wonderful experience and I am highly satisfied with the service I receive whether it be a pedicure or manicure. The entire staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

The people are so kind, funny, friendly, and do a very good job on anything you ask for. I recommend this place if you like quality of people AND nails. The pricing is very fair, and more affordable than most places, but you 1000000% get what you ask for. I love this place!!! read more

I moved from VB to Chesapeake and saw the prices here when looking. Prices are reasonable. Service is great. People are friendly and make sure you take care of your nails. I was getting dip, but Julie recommended to do gel polish since I'm always changing my color when I need a fill. read more

Been coming here since 2014, love Kayla,Tim & the majority of the staff. however, today's visit was horrid! An older man did my nails, he ripped my broken nail off my thumb and when I pulled back & told him he was hurting me,he ignored me. He was rough with the filing and more. When I discovered I didn't like yh3 color I had on and asked him to change it, he got angry and then halfway did my nails. I've never experienced such bad service here, but you could tell Kayla wasn't there. I left from there with a painful, throbbing thumb, a bad paint job on 1 hand, and a sour taste in my mouth. I am a frequent customer there (every other week) & I've spent tons of $$$ here..it really sucks that 1 person can somewhat ruin a place I love to go. Never been this unhappy with a service that I am paying for..smdh read more

This is the best place to get any kind of nail service; I've had it all done here and have never been disappointed! They knew me by name after my first visit and always greet their customers as soon as the door opens. Customer service is key and these people, whom I now count as friends, have got it down!! Wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more

The quality is great here. The people are very friendly, and are very good at what they do. I get my nails done here all of the time! They do a great job every time and it keeps me coming back. read more

I have followed Tim and Kayla around for many years for about maybe 14 years. They have been at this location for a long time. You feel like family here and they do an excellent job. A couple years ago I stopped having my nails done but have returned about 3 months ago. Ty is now doing my nails and he is awesome too! read more

I love Kayla ! I always had problems with my nails and I finally - after near to 20 years I found somebody who "understands" my nails. Even so I still have gel nails my won are finally healthy underneath and I only need to come once a month - that's how long her work holds ! read more

Really expensive manicure. $15 for a basic manicure with a 30 second massage was definitely over priced.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. Very friendly and I never leave disappointed. Will keep coming back and will recommend.
