She's really good about listening to what I'm asking for, especially when it comes to the shape, length, and designs, and my nails always come out so cute. I'm pretty particular about my nails, so finding someone I actually trust and feel comfortable going back to means a lot. She's also super sweet, easy to talk to, and always makes my appointments enjoyable. I've gotten so many compliments on my nails since going to her, and I'm always excited to see how my next set turns out.

I came in to Kitchen Nail Bar MV with an appointment (highly recommended, as they are a busy salon…read moreeven on a weekday). As this was my first time here, I went with any available nail artist. I was luckily assigned to Lee. Lee brought my manicure inspiration photos to life and noticed the small details I didn't event realize were in my inspo photos! I came in wanting beach themed nails for a wedding and I walked out super super happy- I couldn't stop looking at my nails after she finished. I don't often get my nails done and I am grateful to how kind and patient Lee was with her recommendations for the nail art. She is super meticulous in all from shaping my nails to noticing the finest details of my inspo photos to checking in with me often if I liked the art that was in progress. I am definitely coming back to Kitchen Nail Bar MV for the next time I need my nails done for a special occasion. Thank you, Lee!

My pedicures with Lee are my one small self-care splurge. Her attention to detail, her gentle…read moretouch, and her customer service have me coming back for several years now. She cares about doing a good job, consistently every time. I used to come on my lunch break from work, and she would make the service fit in my truncated time frame. I recently switched jobs further away, but I'll be making time on my days off to come see her. Also wanted to say something about the young man who was answering phones today. He was perhaps a manager of sorts? Anyway, he was getting totally chewed out over the phone by some customer. Obviously I don't know the exact situation, but it's never okay to speak that way to any service provider! Kudos to him for keeping his cool, calmly offering multiple solution options, and ultimately speaking up (still politely) to let the customer know that they needed to tone it down.

I was a regular customer of Jenny for approximately three years, beginning when she worked at her…read moreprevious salon and continuing after she opened this salon about two years ago. During that time, I regularly had dip manicures and, for most of those years, was happy with the results. Unfortunately, over roughly the last six months, the quality became increasingly inconsistent. When I raised concerns about changes in the finish and quality, they were often dismissed, or I was told that something I was doing was responsible for the inconsistency. Appointments here can also be extremely long. My visits frequently required several hours, sometimes approximately 3-4 hours for services. I tolerated the time commitment because I had been Jenny's customer for years and had previously been happy with my nails. My final visit, however, was bad enough that I will not return. I had a dip manicure with another technician. He was kind and clearly trying, but the quality of the manicure was unacceptable. The product was uneven, bulky, and irregular, with rough surfaces and edges. I also sustained multiple cuts around my nails during the service, including areas that bled. I am including photos because the results speak for themselves. When the technician encountered difficulty with the dip top coat, he appropriately went to Jenny, the salon owner, for help. Instead of simply helping him troubleshoot and complete the service, the interaction became tense and unprofessional. Jenny raised her voice while speaking to me and began discussing issues including staying late, paying employees, and needing to get home. What disappointed me most was the response when I raised concerns about quality. Over time, I was repeatedly told that my expectations were too high, or that something I was doing was responsible for the result. After my final experience, I went to another salon and received a meticulous, smooth manicure without difficulty, condescension, or drama. I also discovered that I apparently prefer my nail appointments with fewer questions about whether I have a boyfriend and more attention to whether my dip top coat is actually smooth. I understand that any salon can occasionally have a service that does not turn out well. What matters is how problems are handled. After approximately three years as Jenny's customer, the combination of increasingly inconsistent results, an extremely poor final manicure with multiple cuts, and the way my concerns were handled made me decide not to return.

Highly recommend.

Sandy did my manicure, and my first-ever cat eye nails came out absolutely incredible! She was quick, efficient, incredibly patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions. The shoulder massage at the end was such a nice touch and left me feeling so relaxed. Tammy did my pedicure, and she was also amazing. I tend to get painful ingrown nails, so I'm always nervous, but she was so gentle and made me feel completely comfortable. The massage, hot stones, and warm towels were so relaxing. She even offered me water, other beverages, and a snack, which made the experience feel extra special. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and so happy. Thank you, Sandy and Tammy! I'll definitely be back.

My nails look so clean, precise, and polished. Better than they've ever looked! Amanda explained every step and kept checking in to make sure I liked the shape and color, which I really appreciated. Especially since it was my first time getting russian manicure. The only thing is timing! This took about 3 hours vs my usual 1.5 for builder gel. I don't mind, but I wish I had a heads up, so definitely come prepared and plan your day around it. Also, booking is based on experience level and I chose a more junior tech, which is probably why it took longer. Next time I'd book with a higher master. I did get a small nick while they were cleaning my cuticle on one hand, which made me a little nervous, but they sanitized everything right away. They also started about 20 minutes late, but offered tea and chocolates which was a nice touch along with a gift bag since it was my first time at Yarco. Overall, amazing service and beautiful results. I already booked my next appointment and can't wait to see how they last!

I really wish I didn't have to write this review :/ I have…read morebeen a loyal customer for years and have always looked forward to my apportionments Unfortunately I received bad service today. I initially came in with short/ medium nails with two lifted gel and one broken finger. The broken finger had happened the night before and I was unable to adjust my appointment that I had made to let the technician know of the issue. When I arrived, I was asked if I wanted to keep the nail that short but I asked for a single nail extension and was told "I don't do that.". After shortening the rest of my nails so that the initial one did not look too odd in comparison I noticed the issues. All of the nails are different shapes, and sizes. Some are very short while others are far above the nail bed. They range from oval to square to rounded coffin. The gel overlay is inconsistent. There are some nails that are flimsy and bend to the touch while others are rock solid, and some have no gel in the corners that can cause easy lifting. When filing down the original gel, the drill bit burnt my nail. I am used to a little twinge, but this hurt so much, I had to pull my hand away. I was very sad and frustrated with the service I received today. It has made me weary.

I can't remember who cleaned up my husband's nails, but overall the pricing felt fair and the service was great. They also take Venmo, which made payment super easy.

It was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately, I left disappointed. I had an…read moreappointment scheduled but was later asked if I could come at a different time. I was happy to be flexible and later arrived 10 minutes early. When I walked in I noticed there wasn't a designated waiting area for clients. Then later I was told that my appointment had been forgotten and that a walk-in had been taken instead. I was understandably a little disappointed, but I remained understanding. A little after another nail tech. came from the back and was able to help me. Before we began, I communicated twice that I was there for a builder gel fill. I've had this service done many times, so I'm familiar with the filing process. However, much more product was filed away than I've ever experienced during a fill, which seemed to defeat the purpose of getting one. The filing also felt quite aggressive. While I understand the need to work efficiently, I experienced a burning sensation several times, and the technician even applied pressure to the top of my nail to help relieve the discomfort. After this happened repeatedly, I no longer felt comfortable continuing with the UV curing process because I was concerned about the sensitivity of my nails. I explained that I had changed my mind and would instead like to receive only cuticle care and nail shaping. The technician asked a coworker to assist with translation, but unfortunately, the interaction didn't feel welcoming. I calmly explained again that I wasn't comfortable placing my nails under the UV light and wanted to give them time to recover. The coworker appeared visibly frustrated and responded by pressing firmly on my nail and rubbed her finger against it to demonstrate that the builder gel was still present. The original technician completed the cuticle care and nail shaping, and I paid for her time and service. I appreciate that she finished the appointment, but overall, the experience did not leave me wanting to return. I also think the salon could benefit from a designated waiting area for clients and some soft background music to create a more welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
