The only place I go to for a dip manicure. Andy does a perfect job EVERY time! Diana is great as well! I recommend making an appt b/c they get busy. Note: They are closed on Tuesdays. The pedicures are also great. No need for appt for pedis - they have many chairs and people working to accommodate. read more

BKS Nails - Powder dip manicure over natural nails from Andy - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

See all

I waited an hour with one person in front of me. I asked for a dip-manicure & they did not give me a time estimate. Not wanting to be rude, I waited in silence. A lady came in after me & they took her 1st ONLY THEN explaining that they only have 2 techs who can do dips. A non-existent, impersonal vibe. The manicure was done as I asked, but nothing worth waiting an hour & $55 for. I will not be back. read more

While the work can generally be OK, they have no sense of time. When you make an appointment, you're lucky to get seen within 30 minutes and sometimes longer. Apparently t the new owners, an appointment is at best an estimate. Chairs are very close together so be prepared for listening to a bunch of nonsense conversation and phone calls. It's also very apparent that the staff talks about the customers in their native language - very irritating read more

Went in because I had an event last minute and needed a quick manicure. I didn't want to argue about getting gel manicure, as I am always having my hands in water for my job, and as an esthetician I like to keep natural nails for being more gentle on extracting during facials. The technician was older, grumpy, rude, negative, and tried to argue when I said I was unable to get gel... she left out the massage completely, and then told me she had no idea why they had been so slow lately... I wanted to tell her my opinion but knew better. I tipped her well, empathized with her, as I know how it can be these days, and, after drying left and will never go back. There isn't enough sage to get off the bad energy. Give your money to Brookside Nails on Gregory. A world apart in the experience!! read more

Love my dip nails with acrylic tips! $47 great price and great outcome! I will be back! read more

BKS Nails - Dip nail manicure with acrylic tips! - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I'm fairly new to KC and have been here twice now. I think I've found my go-to place! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is price. They charge to remove dip polish which I have not experienced before. But Diane and Andy do such a great job I'll continue to pay it! I didn't have to come back for a new manicure for 4.5 weeks...it was a French manicure, which looks alright grown out, but no chips or lifting! This is my most previous dip manicure with a gel design, done by Andy. read more

BKS Nails - Spooky season. The pinky looks a bit larger but only because I broke the nail and he had to put a tip on that one. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Kinda hard to book an appointment to accommodate more than 1 person at the same time. Got dip on my nails and it was way too thick. Make sure to ask to have it filed down. Kept them super short but still looked very fake. Pedi lady pressured me the whole time to upgrade to do gel. Got the more expensive pedi but didn't see any difference for the extra price (from the basic pedi). read more

On a Monday afternoon I came in for a gel manicure. The gentleman who attended me took longer than usual, but my nails looked great. Unfortunately, I got a very sore infection from the cuticle trimmers and was refused a refund. I will never give this place my business again. read more

I dropped in because I had a broken nail that needed fixed. Turns out, the shop was actually closed but Kelly and Lisa were there and very graciously told me to come on in! Kelly and Lisa are a mother daughter team who are the new owners as of March 2022. I was beyond thankful they took care of me on their day off and I'm very pleased with my manicure. Kelly has an impeccable attention to detail and made sure my nails were perfect. The shop is very clean, has great selection of colors in all brands, and the employees present were also kind and personable. I'll certainly make a point to come back often. Thank you!!! read more

They always try to get you to up purchase and actually act mad when you don't. It's not the most friendly place. The quality of pedicures & manicures are below what I am used to. Sara is a little rough. They could certainly do better. It's a great location. Should be an A+ place. I give it a C_ read more

No. Not good business practices and the older woman who is always there who I suspect is probably the manager is kinda rude and was so rough taking off my dip--- she didn't file them down first nor did she soak them.... I asked her why she wasn't filing them down first or soaking them and she said they were loose enough for her to just rip off. I didn't go in to the "salon" to have them painfully rip off my dip nails, I could've done that myself and saved $15.... Also I got dip there for the first time and they didn't last more than a week in a half and actually while the older lady was ripping off my nails she said, "these must be over three weeks old" .... They were less than a week and a half old, and were just clearly done poorly. The rest of the staff seems nice enough but not worth the poor quality read more

This is my go-to spot in KC. They have a great vibe and an excellent selection of services and polis colors. I always leave feeling relaxed and pretty read more

I like this place comparatively. The quality of the nails is dependent on who you get, ranging from average to excellent. When they are busy the service slips a bit, so I would recommend going during a slower time. read more

Had a great experience here last month while visiting KC. A friend who lives there took me to BKS and they did a great job job on my pedicure! Still looking really good but growing out now, but hey, it's been four weeks. Love that this place stays open late and allows you to bring in wine. My manicure was a little weird- the guy came over and did it while I was getting my pedicure from someone else. He kind of startled me by just coming over and grabbing my arm. It was a little awkward. He got the job done, although it wasn't the best manicure I have ever had-- the awkward angle prevented that. I opted for just a buff and no polish. The owner/manager was really kind of Curt/rude/unfriendly which was also awkward. read more

Well, I gave this place a second chance since I was not totally satisfied with a pedicure I had gotten several months ago. My first instinct was correct. This time I went in for a dip manicure. I DO NOT recommend. The worst part of the experience was the manicurist did not soak my cuticles and I was wincing the entire time he was removing/trimming my cuticles because not only was it painful, I thought he was going to cut me! I should have got up and said, "I changed my mind ...I do not want a manicure anymore", but I didn't. My fault. The end product was subpar not to mention it cost $46. I did call BKS nails after and told them how unhappy I was with my manicure. They offered a gift receipt for the amount I paid...which why would I go back? No thank you. The only reason I am writing this review is so other people do not waste their time and most importantly money on a manicure or pedicure at BKS nails in Brookside. read more

I had heard about this place from a friend. I was able to walk right in for a toe polish change. Selection of color was good. My tech had a strong attention to detail so a simple polish change took about 20 minutes. You are able to use and tip on cards (which I feel like is hard to these days) but they prefer cash. Regular toe polish removal and change was $16. Would return for sure! The location is great and facilities are clean. read more

The new owners at Brookside Nails are amazing! Sweetest mother and daughter run BKS now and are so sweet with great customer service! Happy that this place is full of smiles now and somewhere I can go for great services. read more

This is hands down the best nail salon in KC. I get acrylics with gel polish. They easily last 3 weeks without the polish chipping or the nails coming off. I have been to multiple other salons where within two weeks the polish chips, dulls, or I lose nails. I cannot recommend BKS enough! Love it! read more

This was me and my husband first visit to this location. The service was a little slow and I think it was the owner she wasn't very pleasant. The pedi's that we received were good but I struggle with giving my business and money to a place that treats customers rudely. It wasn't just us that she was curt to she treated others the same way which means this is how she runs her business. I don't plan on returning we will go back to our normal location. This is unfortunate for the employee's. read more

AMAZING. My friend Alyssa and I always come to BKS for our nail needs and needless to say, we won't be going anywhere else!!!

I was really excited about my gel manicure when I left last week... And then today, I noticed the color of my light tan nails turning a dark brown. All the edges of my nails turned blackish brown. It looks almost like there is a black ring around the outside of the polish. It's a horrible look and I'm going to have to try to remove it at home tonight. Really frustrating after just 4 days. I did some research online and found out that this happens sometimes when the wrong light for the polish is used. I will not be going back here... And wouldn't recommend it to others. read more

BKS Nails - Gel manicure turned my nails black around the polish edges after just 4 days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Great place for mani/pedi (I haven't used other services)... LOTS of color options for shellac mani, and at least 150 for 'regular' pedi--the services I use. I'm a regular customer, flexible schedule, and nearly always get in with the tech I like. If you go Friday afternoon-Saturday, they're 'rushed,' --think weddings, homecoming, prom, sports--so you should expect that. Several friends have been very satisfied as well. If you have a problem with employees' behavior, tell the owner/manager, she's always there. Be skeptical of negative reviews, this is a quality establishment. read more

I came in tonight for the first time. My services were awesome! Gel manicure and pedicure. The ladies who helped me were thorough and friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Do you want nails capable of conquering the world? Of course you do! Then you need to go to BKS Nails. Nicki is an amazing nail goddess who does the most gorgeous work. I went in wanting white acrylic almond nails, and I left with the biggest dorkiest smile on my face and the fiercest nails my hands have ever seen. I was afraid I would walk in to a tree obvi the way home cause I kept checking my hands out. Seriously. BKS is always professional, clean, and prompt. I'm always happy here. read more

Nikki has been doing my nails for several years. She is fantastic! I would not trust my nails to anyone else. The salon is clean, the nail techs are friendly, and they do a fantastic job read more

Eh. I wont be back. The first chair (Assuming the owner) gave me the crappiest polish change today after pressuring me to get shellac... I told her I don't have time for the up keep on shellac and she continued to push it. Then gave a crappy uneven polish. I spent $20 in her shop and she was rude with a bad attitude. Plaza nail is the best! read more

This place is just the best. I have gone to many nails salons around the KC area and this one is by far the best. Not only is the customer service amazing, but they do a tremendous job. I will always go here for my gel manicure and pedicures. read more

I absolutely love BKS! I've never had a bad experience with this salon. The staff is always so kind and funny and I feel very welcomed in the salon. Diane is the best nail tech and does such an amazing job! I highly recommend BLS! read more

I typically get pedis every other month. I would rate their pedicure average to below average, but their location is super convenient so I have continued to go off and on for about a year. Today I stopped by impromptu while running errands at 9:30am. Another client and I waited outside until someone showed up to open the doors at 9:35. He asked "why we arrived so early" and allowed us in, but said we had to sit while he swept and opened up. I was moderately irritated, but brushed it off. I was checking out color options when another worker showed up and asked both the other client and I to wait outside, so they could finish opening up. At this point it's 9:45am and their hours state they open at 9:30am. Plus, the other client had an appointment. The workers acted very irritated the other woman and I were there on time. They were rolling their eyes and laughing at us both. At this point I left and went a mile down the road to a better rated salon. I haven't ever been overly impressed with this salon ever and after today I will not be back. I'll take the extra mile over the lack of professionalism and human respect. read more

I went here a few months ago and had the BEST shellac mani and regular pedi I've ever had! Typically shellac won't even last me 2 weeks, but these lasted well over 3 weeks and looked amazing the whole time! I will definitely be going back soon! read more

I downloaded yelp just to review this place I've never left a review in my life but my feelings are almost hurt. As a New Years resolution I decided I want to start keeping my nails done. So I decided to try this place because it's rated well and close to my house. I wanted to treat myself and feel good. The ladies that greeted me were kind. When I sat down to get my nails done the tech was so passive. I didn't think much of it cause it's the end of the day ya know maybe she was tired. I left feeling used, scammed and ugly. She rushed through my nails all I got was a gel manicure. So nothing too difficult. She didn't even do my cuticles. I'm sure it would've been an up charge and I would have paid that but she didn't even ask me what I wanted she was so short with me. My hands were dirty and sticky when I left I had to wash my hands and do my own cuticles when I got home. I had to scrape the access gel polish off almost every finger. Not just around my nail but like down to my knuckles(painful) when I was paying she literally stood on her toes to look over the counter and see how much of a tip I was writing. I'm not a confrontational person so I didn't say anything then but I wish I had I wish I hadn't paid or something or literally anything but all I can do is leave a review and never go back. Definitely not a place for the brown girls. read more

Less than a week after my pedicure and my polish was chipped and flaking- not a good look. I've never had this issue with previous pedicures over the years, and while I'm not sure exactly why this happened, I can say that I am very disappointed with how poorly things held up. read more

My daughter and I waited 20 minutes even with an appointment. Out Signature Spa pedicures were super rushed and the staff wasn't very pleasant. While it's understandable to be busy, it's seems like you'd do an extra good job when you make regular clients wait. Normally a great place but not today. Not sure if we will be back. read more

Do not go to Lauri!!!! Extremely rude and she half way did my spa pedicure. I used to love coming here but now I'm going to reconsider which sucks because I really loved this place. read more

By far, the best nail salon in the city for quick and well done nails. I used to go to Oak Nails until Diane opened up this satellite location and now I won't go anywhere else. read more

I never yelp... best pedicure I've ever had- his name was Kevin... totally gentle but then exfoliated with scrub gel with perfect pressure... go here!! read more

I've been going here for years and the service has always been great. But today was extra special. I'm 9 months and 3 weeks pregnant and my swollen feet won't fit in the LED light. The amazing nail tech held the light over each foot each time. Customer service like this is rare. Thank you Nicki. read more

Thanks, Tracy!! - most helpful, pretty gel manicure I've ever had! Long story short - I'm painting and doing other renovation tasks, I wouldn't even have nails without gel manicures, but I need them to be well done, slop-shod won't do for these hard working fingers. Polish right up close to the cuticle, no snarky comments about chips or whatever I lay before her (-: And a great thing about BKS is they open at 8 most mornings. And they sometimes have a shop puppy! Yip yip. read more

Tried this nail place out because it was closer to my apartment... but I would rather make the 35 minute drive to my old nail place than go here again. There was barely any color options for starters. I asked if I could see what one color looked like dipped and when I didn't like it and asked to see the color palette again, the woman was very rude to me about it, like I was causing a major inconvenience to her. I then told her many times I wanted my nails filed more than they were and said she would do it later and then barely filed them at all when she got to it. She pricked me many times with the buffer, not once apologizing. At the end of the entire thing, my price was way more than I was quoted. Do not suggest this place at all. Average job for a LARGE price. read more
