Photo of my horrible pedicure.

Friendly & did good job. Very relaxing experience. Price was good & also the ease of getting a full set & pedicure was quick

Uncut and dry cuticles
Nick B.

This was the only spot I would come to get my nails done. But after this time I'm not coming back. A lady who started three weeks ago did my nails very poorly. She was very pushy about getting gel nails when I just want a regular polish (not surprised). When I couldn't decide on colors she told me to just sit down and I would pick after my full set is on. She cut my nails to size but never measured them to make sure they were even so they're all different lengths. I wanted three colors but she told me it's five dollars per color extra (I never heard of this in my life) so I didn't do that. I went with one color and she didn't even do the tips of my nails or cut my cuticles well. Super disappointed

The first pic is the result of my nails (so thick and crooked.) The second pic is what I asked for.

Only came here because my regular salon was closed and I will never go back. I should have trusted my gut instinct and RAN FAR AWAY when I got bad vibes from this place. Not only is the place dirty, fingernail clippings, candy, stickyness on chairs, garbage cans filthy, tools looked dirty, dirt in cup holders, floors and walls dirty, their drawers are full of dirt and old nail clippings in the corners. Place is a mess and not organized. Here's my experience: The lady with the short dark hair did my nails. I requested a simple long almond shaped French nail. I had even shown her a photo before she started my nails. She didn't ask initially what shape or how long I wanted my nails (I assumed this was because of the photo I had shown her). I asked for a cuticle clean up and I had to ask for it TWICE (I even stated twice I would pay extra. No idea why she was so against doing it? I paid $15 extra to still have raggedy cuticles and pieces hanging off). After that, she started gluing white tips/plastic fake nails on my nails, I've never seen this done so I asked what her plan was. I showed her the photo AGAIN. She then asked me why I didn't tell her I wanted them long...but was never asked and in the photo I showed her the nails were long. So, possibly a miscommunication, I thought? At this point I sat the photo facing her so that she could look at it constantly to avoid anymore mistakes or miscommunication...When I did that she picked my phone up angrily to view the photo and violently dropped it back in the spot I had placed it in and walked away. She came back and had to take the white fake tips off and made it known she was MAD and that it was MY fault. I was a little confused when she didn't put a nude-ish base color on before starting to paint on the white tip, so again I questioned her and said are we going to put a nude color like in the photo? She got up with an attitude and asked me why I didn't tell her that it wasn't the right color when she didn't even apply a color to the base of my requested french nail...she left it clear and see through. She said "Of course you would wait until I started painting the tip" and proceeded to tell me she didn't have a nude color for the base, but got up and came back with one?? SO CONFUSING. At that point I felt like I was in a narcissistic relationship where everything was my fault even tho I was doing everything I could to make the experience as good and easy going as possible AND I'm the one paying for the nails. The nails were ok I guess they are super thick and not what I really was expecting. Yes, I got a pedicure with a different lady, she convinced me to get the best pedicure they offered, so I did. She told me she was going to apply my no chip color first and then massage me. I never received a massage. I went to the front counter and asked to speak to a manger regarding my experience and there wasn't one available, instead four of the workers ganged up against me, told me I got the massage that I didn't for 15 minutes (which was mind blowing to me because I must have blacked out for the 15 minutes she claims she was massaging me). And then a man there would not let me get a sentence out about the mail tech without saying "well that's just how she is". They discounted me $10 and I will never go back or recommend anyone there in my life.

Chrome pedicure 0/10

The customer service was the poorest I have ever received at a nail salon. The technician told my cousin to, "hurry up and pick a color" when she simply inquired about her options for color options and pedicures. The pedicure was painful, rough and rushed. The woman doing my nails took off my previous toe nail polish with such force it made my skin bleed. The utensils used appeared dingy, worn and unsanitary. The pedicure bowl had dust, dirt and hair surrounding it. They used a razorblade utensil without my consent which in many states is now deemed an illegal practice. The polish was put on sloppy and lifted off the same night. For an experience that was downright painful, uncomfortable and overpriced I was charged $50. I give this salon a 0/10 if I could.

Just had my first powder dip done by Simon (pronounced Simone) at Spa Nails. Very happy it's like gel meets acrylic. I highly recommend her.

I have been going to Kim's Nails for 15+ years. They are the ONLY nail salon I will go to, A…read morecouple times over the years I have gone to different nail salons out of convenience at the time. Never again. Each time when I returned to Kim's they fixed the fungus and acrylic breaks of the other salons. I have been to every nail technician at Kim's and can attest that each one is very good. They have all been there for years; no turnover. You can specify a certain technician when you sign in or call in for your appt. I usually walk-in and get the next available tech. I have found them to be very eager to please. I have never had a pedi at Kim's; I believe they have 5 or so pedi chairs. My normal service is an acrylic fill-in with regular or no-chip polish. They do take credit /debit cards (except for Sunday's I believe due to the bank card processing system they use which is down on Sundays?), but tips cannot be put on the card so I always make sure I am prepared. I usually just hit the atm on the way to Kim's and pay cash for the service and the tip. Amazingly, the prices have never increased in 15 years. The staff is friendly; sometimes silly/funny. Seems like most people who go there are regulars or repeat customers, I am always greeted by name and notice many others greeted by first name too; the customer's are friendly also. Kim's is the only nail salon I trust.

Went back again with yet another busted nail and a need for a trim and refill. This time Don, did…read morethe damn thing. He was fast efficient and kind and gentle. Thank you Don for helping me out!

Whenever I'm in Valpo, I drive all the way across town to come here to get a mani or pedi. I…read morestopped in at a different nail salon across the street first, but there was a wait and I was in a big rush. I was driving around aimlessly and then saw this place. It is probably the nicest nail salon I've ever been in and it's huge! They have the big, leather massage pedicure chairs, a waiting area and a separate section in the back for drying your nails. Also, they have two or three flat-screen tv's to watch. The guy, who I assume is the owner, is very nice. At my first visit, I told him I was in a big hurry. One girl started my manicure, but after the owner finished up with his client, he personally came over and finished my nails since he knew I needed to get out of there soon. It was the quickest manicure I've ever had, but also one of the best. It was very neatly done. i believe they offer additional services besides mani/pedis, but I have yet to partake in one. The staff is friendly without being overbearing. I hate salons where, even after being given the hint to leave me alone and just be quiet, they continue to try to chat me up. It's not going to make your tip any bigger. As if!

Charged me $80 for a FILL with a design on only 2 fingers. What was the design? A simple sun, a dot…read moreand a couple lines. The guy who did my nails was making fun of whoever previously did my set saying the shape wasn't good, then he ripped open my blister, and left me with very sore red cuticles. During the appointment I suspected he was making fun of someone by his tone of voice laughing and joking. Do I know for sure? No, but turns out I heard from a girl who used to work there, he's the owner, and does uber but sits and waits for the people to cancel the ride during his lunch break to scam people out of money. She also said they had bug/rat infestations, and he washed his dog's bed in the workplace washer and dryer, etc. She had pictures to prove everything. So yes, he was probably saying rude things. If you're the owner reading, first of all ew ew ew, second of all just because you're speaking another language your clients don't speak, doesn't mean every language in the world uses the same tone to convey rude words which are easily picked up on.
