The person who helped me got polish on my cuticles, the sides of my nails, and even on my fingertips. I figured she would clean it up at the end and she did a bit but it was so bad that when I pointed out all the issues, the owner had to come with an electric file and file down all of the excess polish -- and even then it STILL looked messy. You can see some of the polish left up to my cuticles in the photo. I wouldn't risk your $40 coming here -- cus after all that they still charged me the full price. Seems like a toss up if it'll be good or horrible.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work for both the pedicure and manicure. I felt like the application had been rushed at the other place I had initially gotten the gel x applied, so I decided to try out Kim's instead. And I'm very happy I did. Annie did my nails and took great care in looking at my detailed design idea, asking me what colors I wanted and checking in multiple times to ask if I liked it. My manicure and pedicure are still perfectly intact 3 weeks later. I will say, I would probably give 4.5 stars if I could, just because the pedicure took a long time as the girl doing it was on phone calls/FaceTimes the whole time and kept texting on her phone. That was strange to me, but the gel pedicure has lasted much longer than at the previous place I went to so I'm happy about that. I also did have to wait 20ish minutes after my scheduled reservation time which wasn't ideal. Overall a good experience and will definitely consider going back for my nails again!

My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last.

This is a great nail salon and I'm disappointed in some of the other reviews, but especially the ones that gave bad ratings due to customer service and the amount of Vietnamese spoke. I personally don't speak Vietnamese as I'm monolingual but I don't mind that the workers speak it. Customers shouldn't be mad because they don't understand. You have no right to tell/ask people to stop speaking their own language around you. I don't see how them speaking Vietnamese in their own salon is a problem at all. Anyways, they did a great job with my acrylic nails despite my small hands. I was repeatedly asked if I liked how they were turning out and if I wanted any changes and such. I had a great first experience and will be a returning customer for sure. I loved Love Nails. The ladies working there were still hospitable and smiling, even towards the end of the day. read more

My wife and I happened to visit this nail salon to get a pedicure for me and nail extensions for her in preparation for our upcoming vacation. The pedicure they gave me was absolutely wonderful, the process was very professional, and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable. Afterward, my feet felt fresh and clean, like they were brand new. As for my wife, although I don't know much about nails, she said the nail design she received was stunning and precise. She was very happy with the results and now feels fully ready for our trip. Overall, this place is fantastic, clean and airy space, soothing music, and the nail technicians are professional and friendly. It was a great experience for both of us. If I could give it 10 stars, I absolutely would. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been coming here for years because it's close to my house and has been pretty good up until a few months ago. Recently the nail technicians have been sloppy inconsistent and an overall very disappointing. They don't listen to the requests you ask them, which are basic! Short and rounded. EVERY time they square them and are way too long even after I ask them to shorten and round them. I wish that wasn't the case but I won't be coming back here again. It's felt like a waste of my money. I've tried a few times to give them the benefit of the doubt but it's been every time I've come in now for a while and it's just not worth it. The ladies are sweet but the result doesn't make it worth it. read more

After searching and trying different nail salons, I am incredibly grateful to have finally found valley nails & spa. Finding a truly skilled nail tech who actually listens is so rare. The ladies at the salon"s attention to detail is unmatched, specifically Lan's shaping is absolutely flawless every single time, and the retention is incredible. My nails stay completely pristine, with zero chipping or lifting, until my next appointment. Beyond their amazing talent Lan is the sweetest and has the warmest energy. Sitting in her chair feels like catching up with a close friend, I cannot recommend her enough! read more
