We went in. It was mother/daughter day. We were separated & I had 2 different pros doing my Pedi/Mani. It was not comfortable & I was dipped at least 6-7 times. Unfortunately a father brought in 2 sons 1 who was super loud, screeching, & making other annoying noises at which time I was having icepick headaches. I wanted out of that chair. It only made our day from par to horrible due to the stressors. If you have a child who is going to be loud & cause stress you should call ahead for a private time or go to a place that is used to noisy behaving clients which is not what you want from a Mani/Pedi visit. Practioners would have been fathers better option. It was a bad day. My daughter's nail pointed toward the right, totally sideways & needed to be redone. She mentioned this but was ignored. It was late appt. times & it was obvious everyone wanted to be done for that day. I totally understand but stop taking any walk-ins if you aren't up for doing a perfect manicure/pedicure. The first dip was only 2 times & 2nd appt. time was 6+. It was unfun & I hoped we had found a new place. Bummer! 1st Pedi was perfect, unrushed & quiet. The man with the sons didn't use common sense, the spa should have told them we are not taking any more clients & it is closing time. Comment on talking in own language, yes, that's uncomfortable. It's like 2 sophomoric friends treating another like a 3rd wheel, this is annoying & not the best in business savvy.

Wow! My daughter and I were visiting from Midcoast, and booked mani-pedis for ourselves. Peter cared for my daughter's pedicure while I was in the next chair being treated to a spa mani-pedi by Kim H. my daughter had a special request for her nails, so Thao offered her time and expertise to my daughter's manicure. We felt so special, and could tell that they were giving us their undivided attention during our treatments. We both left feeling like it was our best nail experience since moving to Maine! Thank you! read more

Scheduling mishaps: Wait times are to be expected here so be prepared to spend more time here than you 'officially scheduled'. Thao (owner) expects you to wait with patience and without complaining. Unprofessionalism: Thao has tremendous difficulty managing her nail techs as she allows them to use their native language to quietly gossip about clientele directly in front of clientele. The negative vibe amongst the staff throughout the salon is obvious. Lack of expertise: Unfortunately the lack of talent amongst the many nail techs is disappointing as well. You will receive services that are 'higher priced' than other salons yet no better quality than elsewhere. Why pay more for mediocre? Seek a more professional salon. read more

best pedicure I had today here by Kim H. she did a fantastic job. She really took her time and did not rush at all.

My spa pedicure was relaxing. Salon is clean. Massage chairs are great. I went back a few days for a spa manicure. I highly recommend. read more

I just discovered this place and I love it! Very good service and a beautiful space. They did a great job on my nails and eyebrows.

Great service, clean salon, and quality nail products used by all of the employees. Bright atmosphere where you're in and out with fantastic results. 10/10 read more

Updated review because I tried waxing services. Mani/pedi services are great as always, first waxing experience terrible. I am recovering from my first brow & lip wax there. I told the provider that I only needed a monthly clean-up and had sensitive skin. The skin lifted and one of my eye orbits has bruised entirely, with some red abraded spots in the inside corner of that eye. I'll be looking elsewhere for waxing in the Kennebunk area. I'm sorry to post this review. read more

I love nails by Thao, Kim is always so friendly! She did my did about a week and a half ago and they are still looking great! This place has such a good feel to it and an amazing vibe! I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality nail services! read more

I returned to the Nail Spa after a super positive experience (manicure/pedicure before my wedding). This time, I was disappointed that I had to wait 30 minutes for a pedicure despite having made an appointment. There were a few appointments ahead of mine that were also waiting 30 minutes or more for their service. As always, the employees are super courteous and attentive. They do a great job and the atmosphere and cleanliness is great. Waiting so long for an appointment was really unexpected. read more

I have been going to Nail Spa for a few months, Kim is the best. She takes her time and makes sure your nails are perfect. I travel 30 minutes just to have Kim. read more

The Spa was clean and I liked I could make an appointment on line. Gel nails were chipping within 24 hours. Very disappointing.

This was my first time I was here for a pedicure I highly recommend it extremely clean and Peter did a fantastic job on my pedicure. I would definitely go back and ask for Peter. read more

I desperately needed a pedicure and after reading the reviews I decided to give this salon a shot and I'm happy I did! This a family owned & operated business that opened its doors a few months ago. They have great customer service and the salon is very clean. This salon was quite busy and they do accept walk ins however, I recommend making an appointment in advance. read more

I had my nails done on June 16th....already the polish is chipping off! I paid $75 foot and nails and this is the most I have ever had to pay...... I talked with the ower and she said she would not fix this as it has been two weeks.... I have been having my nails done for years and always get at least 3 full weeks before needing to have it done again....... So buyer beware.... if you are not happy you will get no satisfaction!

I went with my grandma and my aunt, all three of us were blown away. The nails looks incredibly profesional and exactly what we wanted. The building was clean and put together which made for a higher quality experience. Definitely will be returning!! read more

I made an appointment with Thao 2 1/2 weeks in advance. Arrived at the nail salon to find out she had taken another appointment and put me with an older gentleman that didn't quite seem to know how to do dip nails. He was using the electric drill file and kept cutting my skin. The pictures are of my nails a week out. I really wanted to like this place. Terribly disappointed at the quality especially considering what I was charged and how far I drove to get them done. Won't be back. read more

I'm not a regular mani-pedi person by any stretch, (think once or twice a year), but decided to treat myself to a pedicure. I selected Nail Spa by Thao based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Salon is immaculate, everyone is very nice, and Jackie did a beautiful job. Decided to go back for a manicure in a few days, which I never do! read more

The nail spa down the street before the new nails by Thao opened had once given me gel acrylics that peeled off the next day. However, I LOVE the new Nail Spa by Thao. Her little girl is so cute. Finally, a good nail spa in Kennebunk! I don't have to drive to biddo anymore. The Acrylic Gel set is reasonably priced and they look beautiful. read more

Wonderful staff, friendly and very well done nails! We had a lovely experience and if we lived nearby we would go back!

Peter was my tech and he was rude and hurt me. I mentioned this while I was checking out and the receptionist seemed apologetic. I was there the week before and had a fantastic pedicure with one of the female techs. When I went to schedule another manicure I requested to not be placed with Peter and the lady on the phone said that this could not be guaranteed/he may be the only one available. I understand everyone is short staffed, but if a client is willing to give your business another chance after a terrible experience, you would imagine they would try to accommodate. I just moved to the area and was excited to find a new nail salon, unfortunately Thao will not be that place. Before writing this review, I saw another Yelp reviewer complaining about a male tech, I assume to be Peter. I would advise others to consider other salons. read more

I went there for a manicure and dip and was very disappointed in the service I received. She cut my nails way to short and then put a tip on one that broken and it is longer then all the other nails. The color I chose doesn't look anything like the sample. It still shows my nail tips. Plus she kept rolling her eyes because I guess I didn't relax enough and then talking to her coworkers in a there native language, which I find very disrespectful. I won't be returning there. Very, very disappointed. read more

My favorite nail salon, ever! Thao and her team are friendly and welcoming, the salon is spotless, and there must be over a hundred colors to choose from. I've been going to The Nail Spa for quite a few months now and my nails are stronger and healthier than ever. I get a dip manicure every two weeks and it is consistently perfect every time. Highly recommend! read more

First time here and I will definitely be coming back. Place is spotlessly clean. Great customer service and a fantastic pedicure by Sue! I practically fell asleep in the chair it was so relaxing. I am typically a creature of habit and do not venture into new salons because I love my place at home, BUT, I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be coming back on my trips to KBPT! read more

I took my daughter in for a birthday kid mani/pedi for her and a pedi for me. I typically go to another local salon but they are booked for months out. It was the fastest pedicure I have ever had. I felt like I was just rushed in and out. I was told that my pedicure would be longer than the child pedi and that she would then go to the mani. My pedicure was maybe 3 minutes longer. The child mani was about 10 minutes long. We got home and her polish is already completely off on 2 of her fingers and the ends are chipped. I am so disappointed and instead booked at our typically place, even if I can't get in for a month. read more

I had my nails done by Thao three weeks ago. They still look amazing! Sooo impressed! Never had a gel manicure this good before, thanks Thao! **update** five weeks later and still perfect- I'm in awe! read more

I love this place! It's my favorite place to get my nails done in the area. Thao and the other technicians are so nice, but my favorite part is how clean the space is. Now that the state is opening back up, The Nail Spa is taking lots of precautions to prevent the spread of germs such as using plexiglass dividers in between clients and technicians, sanitizing often, and using single use tools when possible. read more
