    Guarantee card - good for a week. (Posted 8.11.23)
    Donna T.

    8.11.23 This review is for my service on 8.2.23. I was waiting to see if my nails lift, crack or peel off. And they still look good! All I can say is WOW. First this place is cozy. Real cozy and real busy! I did not make an appointment but will definitely make one the next time. There was a least 12-15 people on here when I arrived. That's a lot of people for the size of the salon. Lily did my nails. I always get a cuticle treatment when I get my nails done. Lily did a wonderful job on my nails and cuticles. I will definitely go back.

    We're extremely kind and patience with us. Lily and Bel were very nice and helped me and my mother pick our nails.

    Not always the best idea to drop in unannounced at the local mail salon but this shop was more than ready for us. Well equipped and well managed, we were seated minutes after arrival. My technician, Jennifer, is a pro handling ingrown nails with skill and working with the most ticklish of feet. Manicures up front are handled well with focus and artistry. Snacks and drinks, including cocktails are complimentary during your visit.

    This was my second visit to the Nail Kitchen and the service there is unmatched! The staff there are prompt, friendly, accommodating, and so understanding! The establishment is clean, everything is to standards and beyond! The space itself is a bit narrow, I have a touch of claustrophobia and noticed it, but honestly, once they get to work you won't notice. Henry and Andy took excellent care of me, I felt pampered and considered. I nearly fell asleep in the chair! I had a car accident years ago that affects my mobility a bit and they were accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend both the business and Henry and Andy!

    I am kind of a freak when it comes to nails. I went to the Nail Kitchen, and this is the first time I have been impressed with my nails in years. Chloe is fantastic. She was so fast and knew exactly what she was doing. I am very pleased, and will be back.

    It's a small place and they were packed. I had my mother with me who is not very healthy. It took maybe 8 minutes till we are in our chairs. Very accommodating. Did i say they have drinks-they do. Even a menu with specialty drinks. Overall it was a great great experience

    Went here for the first time today. I arrived with no appointment and was in a rush. Passing through for a wedding. They were amazing! In and out in an hour! Complimentary drinks! The receptionist refilled my wine when empty. She's so nice. The nail tech did an amazing job! Ask for Sam!

    My spouse and I got pedicures and I got a gel manicure. Customer service was good but when it came down to get my gel polish the color wasn't the one I choose. I had chosen a nude. Olor and the guy came back with the right number but the color was a light purple not a nude color. So I had him get an off white color. Three days later it started to chip. Then a few days later others started to chip by the 6th day I had at least 6 nails chipped. I couldn't go in on the seventh day since I was coming in back from out of town late at night even though they gave me a guarantee card. As for my pedicure on of my toes started to chip as well. I had went in since it had great reviews even though I have so many other nail salons closer to me. I also didn't like how I had some cuticles that weren't cleaned up very good. I wouldn't go here again for as much as I paid. I don't recommend this place.

    We have been coming here for a few months now and for the last two visits they have done an extremely poor job on my daughter's nails they charged her $90 for nails that started to lift with in a week or so and began to break so she was unhappy and decided to express to them how she felt and let them know how she was cut by the nail tech in the process of getting her nails done and wanted to just get the nails removed at this point so the pictures are how they decided to send my daughter out of their shop looking!! When I spoke to the unprofessional young lady with the noise ring and 11 inch nails she began to argue with me instead of hearing me out and when i asked her do you rather make things right or have a review with this image of her nails that you guys did coming out of you guys shop she stated she didn't care!! So here are the pictures!!! ***UPDATE***In Response of the manager- One the pictures clearly show no shape no oil on her hands!! For a manager to make an excuse for a rude employee and poor customer service is unacceptable!

    last visit!

    I have been going to this place for probably a good three years, and I can genuinely say it is so hit or miss every time I go. Depending on who you get, your nails are going to look amazing, or kind of bad. They're usually really great about acrylics, ESPECIALLY when Vanessa does them. Like, the last time I came, best nails I've probably ever gotten, this time they do not look that great, and it genuinely makes me want to cry. The staff is always so kind and make an effort to greet you when you come in. But genuinely some of the staff just needs more experience. Like, I have come in for a pedicure a few times, and repeatedly got the same lady, and she continued to only paint half of my toenail, even after pointing it out. And the guy that I just went to, as sweet as he was, left me with hairs in top coat and some polish on the side of my nails. and it's especially unsettling when you're paying as much as you are, to leave like that. also, beware because they will try and upsell you. Another time. I went to get my graduation nails done and just wanted the lady to backfill with nude powder and put some pearls on them. I was charged $80. 40$ for a refill and 40$ for the pearls, but to add flame to the fire, that day I was on a time crunch and tried to tell the lady not to do them, and she persistently pushed on doing them because it would "only take a few minutes." (I also didn't know it would be 40 extra dollars at that point) so I agreed, but I ended up being stuck there for roughly and extra half an hour, and missed something i was supposed to be at. Again, I will rave about how amazing the attitude of the staff is but, that simply cannot make up for the fact that some people just need more experience for the prices they are charging. In conclusion, it's a fantastic place to get acrylics, but that's really it. I really love this place but I'm starting to get fed up. ----------------------------------------------------- In response to Vanessa- I have no issue with the way y'all conduct matching technicians to clients. I understand the process and it makes complete sense. I understand that when I come in as a walk in, I risk being put with someone who is not going to completely be on the same page as me. And my issue is not with the prices themselves but the quality I get from paying those prices. My frustration is this * My graduation nails were done May 2023, it was a nude backfill (same color) with added pearls (4 pearls per finger). My memory of the exact price of each part of the service may be off but my total regardless was still 80$. And in the middle of my service I told my technician to hold off on the pearls and just paint a top coat and let me go. But, she persisted and pushed me to get the extra detailing even though I already explained I was on a time crunch. I only agreed because she explained in exact words "it would only take a few minutes" and I was not made aware at any point (until check out) that putting them on my nails would add an extra $30+ to my service. In the end, it took significantly longer than I was told and it was not a brand new set so I'm upset that I was basically charged the price of it being one. * I did talk to Alexis this morning, and she was helpful in informing me of the policies. But, that's not changing the fact that my technician genuinely just didn't do a good job on my nails in the first place. He was a very sweet guy with good customer service but, I watched him literally paint fibers back into my nails like it was not an issue. On top of the fact that he could not do basic nail art that I asked for at the beginning of my service. I originally asked for plain black gel with white stars on my ring fingers. He tried twice but each time it came out unproportional and I asked him to just leave the plain gel so he wiped the designs off with the same towel that was consistently getting fibers in my nails. And then to leave and 3 hours later and have a nail, that was completely bare for 2 days consecutively, break. Made me feel even more upset about my service. It felt unprofessional and overall it was just not a good experience. And I was hoping to have an accommodation that felt fair. And even though I did get an accommodation that followed the policies, it still didn't feel like I was given good quality. *update* I got my nails redone at another salon. When the other tech drilled the "fixed" gel mani off, he said it wasn't cured. I'm done, and i'm not coming back here. Sad to see one the places I have stood by for so long screw me over.

    This business is SUPER busy and I can't stress that enough. Make an appointment on FB super easy they respond quick. I also had the classic pedi 23.00 which was awesome! As long as you have an appointment they seem to get you right in. I was very happy with my girl her name was Ann I will go back!

    I was looking for a new nail salon so of course I went to Yelp for help. I browsed several nail salons, read reviews and looked a pics so I decided to try the nail kitchen. I had something in mind that I wanted to try so I called and made an appointment. From the moment I stepped in the doors everyone greeted me with a smile, the atmosphere was amazing the music set the mood and the drinks offered are real drinks not your watered down drinks. All of the nail technicians are good at what they do I had Tony I asked and he delivered he did an awesome job and I love my nails. I've found my new spot and so happy that I chose the nail kitchen you guys are the bomb.com.

    Again, my girl Moon has done it again. All these techs are really good, not to take any credit for how well they work but once i have my tech I like to keep coming back to her as she knows exactly how I like them and her technique just works for me and unlike other places my nail growth after 4 weeks still looks great. Loveee the no lift after 2 weeks. They just last. Good luck Moon and ty

    Cousin brought me to get a mani/pedi and I hadn't looked the place up until I arrived. Realized…read morethey didn't offer structured gel but did have a Japanese gel mani option, tried it for the first time and could not be happier with the results. (Similar to Korean style gel if you're familiar with it). I have my own local gal I have back home but if this place was in SoCal... I t'd give so many places a run for their money!! Owner (or host?) was so professional, kind and wonderful and sets the tone. The inside of the salon is not only beautiful and clean but a bonus with its high ceilings. And most importantly, a great selection of quality color and service available. We did a walk in on a Wednesday afternoon with no appointment and the three of us were able to get sat immediately after choosing our colors. I'm in my short nail era and my gal definitely delivered. My mani feels just as, if not stronger and just as thin as I get done back at home + the color work on my pedi is definitely one of the best I've received! So bummed I can't call this place my own local spot and wishing we had our own TopCoat back in SoCal. :' ) Manicurist was Nancy Pedi done by Jenny Both 10/10.

    Wonderful service, very clean and I love my technician …read more.. Will be my go to nail salon...

On my recent visit, I really enjoyed my service with Jessica. She is incredibly sweet and allowed me to relax. She was very gentle, but skillful & thorough too. She didn't rush me, and made sure I looked & felt great. They also offered me a complimentary beverage, and the iced Vietnamese coffee was a refreshing & delicious treat (especially for a morning start). This establishment has been kept up with & well maintained. The salon is grand, without being pretentious. There are individual rooms and multiple halls, dedicated to the various treatments. The pedicure area has a dozen plush massage chairs, with plenty of space in between each client. There is no cramping or invasion of privacy, like other salons. All areas (even the restrooms) are clean & hygienic. The ambiance is quiet & comfortable, making for a very relaxing & pampering experience. Different levels, with pricing reflective of the product quality & amount of time spent. The top tiers are worth every buck, if you ask me. (My only criticism is that I wish there were more color options for gel/shellac.) Still a wonderful place for nails & pedicure!
