    Out of all the nail places I've been to, this has to be one of my favorites. Kay is super kind and…read moresweet, also professional in response time and quotes, and quick at service without compromising quality. She made my nails look so natural and nice! I got many compliments on them. This place is located in a plaza with lots of parking and easy to get to from a couple freeways. It also has a local nail shop vibe as if Kay is the only nail artist in town. I loved my nails and will surely be coming back. Currently giving my nails a break and chance to breathe naturally, but can't wait for the next occasion to return to Kay's!!

    I decided to try Kay's Nail Bar since it is nearby. Kay is very sweet and I've always been happy…read morewith my nails. She uses mainly Japanese branded gel nail polish, which is definitely more durable and often lasts about 1 month without breaking or chipping for me. With Kay, she makes it easy and time efficient as I send her a text message of the nail color/design beforehand...then she has everything set aside and ready to go by the time I arrive. Highly recommend making appointments with her! PARKING: Free in the small plaza/lot its located in. Only con is that it is currently just her. If you wanted to get a service done with a friend/partner, then it would just take longer as you would have to wait for each other to be done. Not sure if she is looking for someone to hire, but just a note to help with timing/scheduling.

    I normally try not to write negative reviews however, this one I did need to bring up considering…read morethat I apparently am not the only one that this has happened to. I went in for a gel manicure and pedicure appointment on April 12, 2026. My first experience with them was wonderful so I decided to book again. This time instead of calling in I used the online appointment system. I clicked the techs I wanted and it was confirmed on the screen I would be serviced by them. I also added an appt for my husband a few days before my appt online and got online confirmation that we would be serviced at the same time. Day of the appt I got a text saying my tech would be late. I said that's fine and I would send my husband in to keep his earlier appt. They then told me that the online system was incorrect. We got to the salon and while my husband was getting his service, I was told my tech was booked and I would be with someone else. I told them I got online confirmation of the tech id be with, they said it was wrong. This is where it all went downhill. I don't even remember the girl's name but I was ensured she would do a good job. I don't get mani/pedi often so I was looking forward to this. She used an efile on my nails and, like a few other comments, filed my nails so thin that a couple broke in their parking lot. She didn't really speak to me because she could tell I was frustrated at the miscommunication and was also told by the front desk to call next time if I want a particular tech. This option shouldn't be available online if it doesn't work. My nails started to burn that when she finished cleaning my cuticles I cancelled the rest of the appointment. I was contacted by the salon to try to make things better, which I appreciate, however it shouldn't have come to this in the first place. Needless to say, here we are 5/20 and I have not gone back. My nails are still so brittle that you can visible see where the nail was filed down vs the new growth. The nail on my left pinky is lifting so I have to be extra careful with it. I really thought I found my new shop because it's much closer. My old nail spot has been servicing me for 20+ years so looks like I'll be making the trip back there.

    This was my third time going to House of Nails, and unfortunately it will be my last. I took my…read moresister there for her birthday so we could both get new nail sets and pedicures, but the experience was very disappointing from the moment we arrived. I had specifically scheduled my new set with Amy when I made the appointment four days in advance. However, when we got there, it became clear that she had been double-booked, and there was confusion from the very beginning about who was supposed to do my nails. For a service that was booked several days ahead of time, I expected things to be much more organized. I made an appointment for two full sets and two pedicures at 5:30 PM. When we arrived, they had us sit at the pedicure stations and started on our nails. My sister was able to get her pedicure while her nails were being done, but I was told to wait for another pedicure technician to finish with a client. What was especially frustrating was that the front desk employee knew we had appointments for two pedicures. When a pedicure technician became available, instead of taking me as scheduled, she assigned that technician to a customer who had just walked in. Even though I had an appointment and had already been waiting, I was passed over and forced to wait even longer. By the time I finally got my pedicure, my nails were already finished. The same technician who did my nails then rushed through my pedicure, and it felt like it was completed in about five minutes. It definitely was not worth the price or the wait. Speaking of price, I was also shocked by how much more expensive everything was compared to what was advertised online. I was charged $75 for builder gel alone, which I found excessive and much higher than I expected based on the salon's advertised pricing. The lack of transparency about pricing made the experience even more frustrating. I don't understand the point of making an appointment days in advance if the technician is double-booked and walk-in customers are prioritized over scheduled appointments. The lack of organization, poor customer service, rushed work, and unexpected pricing completely ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday outing for my sister. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this salon based on my experience.

Appointment was for two adults and one 9 year old girl. They did a good job on our nails, but it was more expensive than the prices we saw on line. They didn't even offer us the kids price. I had to question the pricing since it was almost $160 for one acrylic fill and two manicures, so they gave me the "first time customer" discount. It seemed a little bit subjective on their part... Although they did a good job, we will probably go somewhere else since it was pricier than most other places we usually go to.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for a couple of years now, and my most recent nail tech,…read moreMichelle, did such a great job on my Gel-X set! I spend around $100 ish here doing the gel x mani and also some designs at times. I've been really into the Hailey Bieber chrome look, usually the white pearl, and this time I tried a pink pearl instead and loved how it turned out. My sets with Michelle have lasted me over 42 days, which is honestly impressive. Once my nails grow out again, I'll most likely be coming back to her. Michelle is calm, patient, listens to what I want, and also gives helpful recommendations when I'm deciding what to do. The salon itself is pretty clean, and I've noticed a sanitizing station near the restroom, which is reassuring. So far I haven't had any issues during the years I've been coming here. Bonus: there's a Paris Baguette right next door, which is perfect when you're hungry after sitting through a 2+ hour nail appointment Grab a little treat afterward!

For my service, I just did the pedicure with no color. The lady was very professional and had clean tools. I had no problem whatsoever! For parking, it is a little tricky since it's in the corner of a plaza but nothing too difficult! Will say this is only my first visit but I'll happily visit this place again if I'm in the area!

    I got a pedicure here from Tammy and I loved my experience! I chose the diamond pedicure and was…read morereally happy with the quality of work, the care with my pedicure and the communication. I don't have a phot because who wants to look at my feet, LOL. She took extra attention to my calluses, and painted my toe nails so pristinely. It's good to know that they do upsell on some enhancements to your service. I was asked if I wanted to add on paraffin wax to my hands and I said yes for $8 more. that was such a nice treat. So relaxing and my cuticles are thanking me. I did not opt for gel on my feet because my pedicure polish usually lasts a good long time. The atmosphere is really nice here as well. Super clean, not a lot of TVs, and the music was a nice low volume. Looking forward to going back!

    I would not recommend this nail tech based on my experience…read more I came in requesting a French tip gel manicure and showed a reference photo of exactly what I wanted. Instead, the finished nails were incredibly thick, uneven, bumpy, and had visible air bubbles. The French tips were inconsistent in shape and width, making the overall look sloppy and outdated rather than clean and refined. My thumb had already started chipping almost immediately after the appointment. Because I wasn't satisfied, I returned to ask if my concerns could be fixed. Instead of listening, the nail tech immediately argued that the look I wanted could only be achieved with Gel-X. This was confusing because I've had simple French tip gel manicures done at multiple other salons without any issues. I explained again that my main concerns weren't about the technique. It was the excessive thickness, uneven application, bumps, air bubbles, and lack of symmetry on all 5 fingers on my right hand. She then said she would file the nails thinner, but immediately started aggressively filing one of my pinky nails without paying attention to the shape or symmetry. It became noticeably uneven, and I had to stop her because I could clearly see it wasn't being corrected properly. At that point, she decided to remove the entire set and start over. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse. I have a medical condition that weakens my skin barrier and cuticles, and the way she used the cuticle e-file was extremely painful. She also removed the gel very carelessly, leaving behind a significant amount of product residue instead of fully cleaning the nails. Throughout the entire experience, I never felt confident in her gel application technique. The polish remained thick, uneven, and lacked the smooth, refined finish I expected from a professional gel manicure. Despite the poor workmanship, the discomfort during the service, and having to return because of the quality, no refund was offered. I ultimately left without getting my nails redone there because I no longer trusted the quality of the work. This experience was disappointing from both a technical and customer service standpoint, and I will not be returning.
