I loved the first gel manicure and pedicure I received when I visited here for the first time back…read morein May. My friend gets her nails custom done by Alena, and boy she does an INCREDIBLE job. They are always highly decorated and she uses cat eye almost every time. So imagine my surprise when I come in to get a basic manicure and pedicure, and my total is $25 MORE ( $30 if you include the additional 3% you pay to use a card) for a more basic service. The nail tec used builder gel (I had not asked for it), and charged me for removing a full set of nails (I had one tip on my thumb from a brake and one broken nail that had a bit of acrylic on it to give it strength, the rest simply had gel). And this is what I dislike about nail shops. They should state this upfront, not after the fact. And when I pay more more my basic pedicure, basic nail polish, and no designs than the last time I came in and got glitter and a design nail (or about the same my friend pays for her design nails), then something feels very wrong. Unfortunately, I'll have to keep looking for a reliable nail shop with transparent pricing. Edit, update: this manicure was chipping the day it was applied (as the nail tech was filing the builder gel, a giant clump ripped off the base). But 2 days after, nearly early nail has lifting, chipping, and the natural nail underneath has broken, too. A manicure that lasts merely 2 days isn't quality work at all.

This was probably my fourth time here to Kitchen Nail Bar. I had came here alone maybe twice and…read moreone of the last times with my best friend for a nail day. The previous time where we came here together, we had an amazing nail spa day with sweet nail ladies, so I'm not sure what happened here this time around. My best friend was in town and wanted to get our nails done, so we came here last Friday morning. We booked a mani and a pedi. We checked in and didn't have to wait long for Mymy and Tina to start on our toes. Honestly, our whole pedicure experience well because our ladies were nice and just did their jobs. Here comes the bad part of our experience of when we were getting started on our manicures. We had originally booked two gel pedicure and one gel manicure and one gel builder. We asked if they can do gel builder for both manicure, which they said yes but one of us would have to wait 15 minutes which we said we were fine with. I had Tracy who started on my nails first and for the most part, she was quiet and just did her thing, which I preferred. Sadly, my best friend got Kandy who at first asked my best friend what she wanted for shape and length with the builder gel. My best friend told her she wanted to do a short almond shape. Kandy told her if she wants to do that then she would have to do a longer length, so my friend agreed and said a medium length is fine. I don't think Tracy or Kandy knew this, but we are Vietnamese and can understand everything that is being said!! Because Kandy later proceeded to complain in Vietnamese the ENTIRE manicure about how she doesn't know how she's going to my friend's nails because of what she picked, how she's going to be stuck doing it for a long time, how my friend "insisted" on doing this and how my friend's nails/fingers aren't straight and keep swerving. Tracy was fine for most of my manicure, but there was a couple times she would agree and say "yeah, this lady's fingers too". Halfway through, my best friend and I just stopped talking to each other because I was getting so annoyed of Kandy's complaining. I wished she would've just told us she couldn't do my friend's nail so we could've had another nail tech who would've been happy to do it. I didn't say anything because it was my first time seeing my best friend in months and she really wanted to get her nails done, so I bit my tongue but her complaints started giving me a headache. After Tracy was done with my manicure, she asked me if we were paying separately or together. I told her together, so she punched in the numbers and gave me a total of $295. I gave her $300 in cash and was going to ask for change, but I heard her saying in Vietnamese about how she had little to no change. By the time I looked up after I paid, she had left the table. **I turned over to my friend and told her I had a headache, so I was going to wait outside in the car. I gave her cash to tip everyone after she's done telling her I overheard Tracy saying she didn't really have any change, so my friend can ask her nail lady for change.** When my friend was done and came out 15 minutes later, she told me Tracy came up shocked and complained about how I walked out and didn't tip on a $295 service and how she couldn't believe it - repeating it over and over. I wished she would've waited until my friend was done with her nails, so she could've seen that we were going to tip... My friend said they were a little nicer when she pulled out the cash I gave her to tip, but the whole experience put a really bad taste in our mouths. I won't be back here again.

The place is relaxing and clean, love the calm aesthetics. They have a small selection of gel shades which is good for me bc I only rotate about 3-4 colors anyways but might be a con for some people. My nail tech was straight to business. Didn't talk much which I liked bc I'm on a hurry, she was gentle with my nails with filing but got a cut on my cuticle which wasn't painful and she recognized it right away and apologized. I'd give it another go next time around! And I'll bring my mom so she can also help me write a revised review for a 5 star soon! My take, worth the try!

The nail tech was super sweet (i think) and the place is immaculate! Super clean!!! As for the nail lady: overall she did an ok job. (I guess) let's get into it. -- sooo during the process I saw that she made two of my nails extremely crooked. The first nail, I noticed was my ring finger. I asked her if she could please file it more because it looked like it was going to too much to the right. Immediately, she said something in her own language to her friend sitting next to her I did not want to assume they were talking about me, but I had a feeling. She did file it and she asked me if it was better and I told her " almost" I requested she file it just a little bit more so it looks more straighter and she started saying something to her friend again. I went from assuming they were talking shit to they most likely were because they were talking in their own language and all of a sudden her friend said in English " she does a good job" and then continue to talk to themselves in their own language so it was very obvious, they said something about me in my request to make my nails straight. This already made me feel uncomfortable to tell her about my thumb, which was ridiculously crooked and very noticeable but I did ask that she would fix that one also and she got my thumb and filed it quickly and was like "is that better?" I just told her yeah, even though it was not better. I didn't want to make a big deal about it but inside I was super annoyed. Nails are expensive and when you go for a service you want it done correctly you don't want to come out with crooked nails. I also asked if she could do a small gel design and I showed her a picture of what I wanted and it was absolutely nothing like I showed her. The design she gave me look like she spilled glue on my nail and was like whatever about it looks nothing like the picture I showed her. I was upset. I just didn't say anything. I'm going to post a picture of the gel design of what I wanted versus what I got. The gel design that I requested was supposed to be what looks like a swirl and thick as I mentioned above, she looks like she just rubbed a glue and the line was super squiggly . As a professional nail tech....like why???? I feel like the potential for this nail tech is absolutely there I just know that I can't ask for a design the next time I try her again. (which I will be going back to her to give her another chance.) I will share a picture of my nails. It wasn't a horrible job, it was just OK. Moving forward if I go with the nail tech again, I will not be requesting for her to do any type of design just because what she gave me was not what I asked for. I'll do an update if I ever go back

My friend Carissa recommended 408's nail shop and also recommended I have Hana do my pedicure. I went to their website and booked an appointment with Hana for a Paradise Pedicure. This is a spa pedicure with a collagen soak, exfoliating scrub, callus care, collagen mask, warm paraffin hot wax, six hot stones, and a soothing 15-minute massage. Finished with a warm towel wrap and your choice of polish. When I arrived, I was greeted by everyone lol, which was really nice. I signed in on their digital kiosk and then looked at a few nail color pallets to get an idea of what color I wanted. Once Hana was ready for me, she got me set up in a comfy pedicure chair and had my feet soak in the warm water. I chose the lemon scented food soak, scrub and lotion. It smelled so good. They offer you a variety of complimentary drinks. I chose the hot green tea. Hana even refilled it for me, which was so nice. My spa pedicure was very relaxing. Hana did an amazing job and I love the nail color I picked. Hana was so kind and very gentle with my feet. I was lucky enough to meet a new friend in the pedicure chair next to me that happened to be the mother of one of my Yelp friend's. It's a small world. The inside is spacious and very clean. I like how the pedicure chairs and manicure tables are organized and neat. I also met the manager, and she was really nice and welcoming. Thank you Carissa K. for the awesome recommendation. I look forward to my next appointment.

Been coming a few times over the past few months for pedicures and gel x sets, noticed that each…read moretime I came, the quality seemed to decrease. Went in today for a gel x removal since I have a tendency to remove them myself, I decided i'd do it in a healthier way for my nails but the experience was not great. The technician used a double-bowl soak method with warm water but didn't offer to apply a protective barrier like Vaseline or oil to my hands first. (I am used to nail shops using the foil and cotton method so this was new to me) Because my bare skin was left completely unprotected in warm acetone, it caused some chemical dehydration. The skin on my fingertips is now dry and peeling. On top of that, the actual service was rushed and sloppy. My nails were filed completely slanted and unevenly and my nails were stripped of their natural oils. She did apply cuticle oil after she was finished, but then had me immediately wash it off with soap. By the time I came back to the table to get my things there was already another technician sitting down to take a client. When it came time to pay, the technician seemed surprised because I chose not to leave a tip. Tipping is for good service, not for a rushed job that leaves a customer with uneven nails and peeling, damaged skin. I'm grateful that I have a pretty strong nail bed naturally, but this could seriously damage someone with sensitive nails and skin. I will not be returning. --------------------- update in response to the owner: Thank you for admitting the filing was rushed and uneven. While it is standard practice, full submersion soaking is seen as an older method that can be harsh to nails and skin, it's not the best and was obviously used to save time. Especially since I've had a gel pedicure removed here before and a different nail tech used the foils and cotton. And while everyone knows tips are never required, the technicians change in tone and body language when no tip is selected is definitely a way to deter customers. Thank you for taking some accountability so this doesn't happen to guests in the future.

29 Years and a "Pedi" to Match: Royal Treatment at Bellachio!…read more We decided to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary by pampering ourselves with some much-needed relaxation, and Bellachio Studio Salon delivered an experience we'll never forget. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. I chose the signature Bellachio Pedicure for both of us, and it was pure bliss. The attention to detail started immediately with our soaking water, which was beautifully prepared with fresh rose petals and orange slices. The 15-minute candle oil massage, salt and oil scrub, warm towel wrap, and mineral-rich mud mask were exactly what we needed to unwind. We were both thoroughly relaxed and impressed by the entire process. To make the time fly even faster while my nails were drying, my husband also enjoyed a manicure. The staff truly went above and beyond when they found out we were celebrating nearly three decades of marriage. We were immediately offered our choice of mimosas or wine (red or white). We opted for the mimosas, and let's just say the refills flowed generously throughout our entire service! Our nail technicians, Mary and Lily, were absolute gems. They were so kind and attentive, but they also went the extra mile to ensure we captured the memory. They set up a beautiful display with candles, oils, and flowers to take some Instagram-worthy photos of us, making sure we had a lasting memento of our special day. We will most certainly be returning to Bellachio again and again, but most importantly, we've decided to make this our new annual anniversary tradition. If you want to feel truly pampered and celebrated, this is the place to go!
