Finishing up my pedicure now. First time here. They got my right in as a walk in at 4 on a Sunday. Few things to note: The massage chairs suck. Can't even feel them. My tech was not personable, but that doesn't really bother me. She really worked to get the sides of my big toes (which are prone to ingrown nails) so I definitely appreciated that. The massage was nice, she took her time with it. Pretty basic pedicure all and all. Definitely nothing above and beyond but happy with it. read more

I'm pretty sure I got finessed here but I didn't really feel like arguing. I came to get my eye brows waxed. Very simple clean up. I already have nice eyebrows. Had a great conversation with Anne. After about 10 minutes she said I was good to go. I liked my eyebrows but wasn't in love. Get to the register and she said 20 dollars. Never have I ever paid 20 dollars for my eyebrows even at the fancy spa type salons. I said oh I had a disappointed face and she asked me how much cash I had and I said I only had 22 and 2 dollars wasn't a good tip. She said that's fine and took all the money out my hand and quickly walked away. Anyway. Won't be back. Wish I would have checked Yelp before coming here. Smh read more

Pedicure with excessive cuticle trimming causing infection within one day of pedicure in toenail. I will not be returning.

My sister treated my girls to 1- pedicure, 1-full set and 1- a fill and was charge $85 for the pedicure ALONE!

Only been twice and I loved it the first time so I booked with the same guy the second time. When I got there he already had someone else and decided to give me to someone else and told me I'd have to go to someone else sometimes even if I book with him. Absolutely not. I book with who I want and like because I like their service. If I wanted someone else I'd book them. read more

A wonderful friend treated me to beauty at CK today. I felt like queen for the day! I had 3 services- 3 specialists that each did amazing work!!! Friendly and Professional and listened to what I needed. This is just the vibe I needed on my first visit back to Columbus after recent surgery. Thank you read more

I went the first time I had a very good experience me and my boyfriend spent a good amount of money there over $200. We got a pedicure manicure and they were fairly nice. The second time I went was horrible. The guy already had made my nail the wrong color the second time I went so I'm coming back on my third time telling him I don't want the wrong color and he gave me an attitude. Also told me I could go to someone else refused to do my nails after starting them and I had to wait a whole hour just to fix one broken nail read more

I'm currently on a nail tour of short north/grandview and this is the next stop on list. So far, I've loved my manicure, I am reaching the two week mark and they still look great. If this continues on I will definitely be back. The only thing the staff was a little abrasive for my liking, I had it narrowed down to two colors and she just picked it for me and told me I would like that one better. Then she said something and I told her it was my first visit to this salon and she asked me where I used to go then commented about it not being as good as their place. It was in good humor it just threw me off. Then she told me to get a manicure next time instead of a polish. It could've been that one worker but my first experience was not the best. I also recommend paying in cash, they give a discount for it! read more

TERRIBLE!!! DO NOT GO HERE. First of all this place is not CLEAN. I have been getting my nails done for years. Tried this place out because it is close to my new house. .. first off they were so quick and rude. Second of all it was 45 dollars for a dip manicure and all they did was PAINT my nails. I had to ask them to do the full service of buffing my nails and cutting my cuticles. My gel nails that usually last my 3 weeks lasted me two days. I came in and they kindly redid them for free. The nails have since then chipped after two days again. LITERALLY the biggest waste of time and money. They are now offering me to come in again and get them redone. But what is the point if they are going to chip after two days. WARNING WARNING do not go here. I am a Columbus local born and raised and this is NOT the place to get your nails done. read more

I heard good things about this CK nails shop from a patient...they were very rude the minute I walked in the door. I had to wait for my appointment. And I had to pay $10 extra to have my cuticles trimmed with the DIP service. I feel like that should come with the service as it looks awful without your cuticles trimmed. So I thought they did great on my nails after paying $65.....but I noticed two have cracked (hasn't chipped yet but I can see the crack in the nail) not even a day after I got them done. Remind you, I just paid $65...$80 with tip and this happens. Ever since I moved downtown, I can't find a reliable shop to do my nails correctly and well. I didn't even return back because honestly it's not worth it to me. read more

CK Nails is our go-to if we want a no frills mani. Service: the people are great but sometimes you are waiting over an hour when they quote 15 mins. A gel mani and gel pedi without gel removal is just about $100. Atmosphere: very average nail salon. However they do have updated massage chairs, that's a great perk! Location : very easy location with parking which is always nice. Place is pretty clean. Decor is average, nothing to rave about. Recommend: yes if you're looking for a basic gel mani and pedi that's affordable! Not for the person looking for sweet designs and cool decor. read more

I have been here a few times with average customer service. However, when I went most recently, I had possibly the worst customer service I've ever experienced of any business anywhere. I requested a gel manicure and regular pedicure. They said they could do that and instructed me to sign in and pick a color. While I was picking a color for my toes, they started trying to sell me into getting a dip manicure instead of a gel manicure as I had previously requested. They said my nails and cuticles looked terrible and way too short and a gel manicure would only last two days but dip would last three full weeks. I know this is not true because I have had several gel manicures (from a DIFFERENT salon) when my nails/ cuticles were in the same condition and they lasted two to three weeks. I told them I did not want a dip manicure and it wasn't in my budget since I was already getting a pedicure as well. I understand that this is a business and they want to upsell their product, but at a certain point they should respect the customer's decision or they will ultimately lose business. I picked a color for my pedicure and they started working on that while I looked at the gel colors. They continued badgering me into getting a dip manicure. They said they might close early that day and a dip manicure would be faster because they could do it simultaneously with my pedicure. I was confused about this because it was around 4:30-5:00 pm and their hours listed for weekdays are until 7:30pm. Also I told them when i walked in that I wanted a gel manicure and they already said they could do that- it's not like i was requesting an additional service unexpectedly. Multiple technicians were rude to me throughout my time there and i was so uncomfortable that I finally agreed to get a dip manicure just so that they would stop bullying me. Their behavior was unacceptable and unprofessional. I was highly dissatisfied with my service and will not come back here. read more

I got my nails done on a Tuesday, Wednesday morning the gel had chipped on one nail. I was working three days in a row so I couldn't get back to get it fixed until Sunday. By that time, 4 more nails were peeling and chipped. When I went in, it was very apparent the workers were mad that I came back in to have the nails fixed. I felt very uncomfortable, as if it was my fault. However, I tipped and left. Two days later I have 4 more chipped nails. I will never go back here. Expensive, rude and does NOT last. read more

I went there for the first time yesterday for a manicure. I would not go back! My friend and I made a 5:30 appointment and we were seated at 6:00, only to wait another 10 minutes for them to then ask us to pay for the service (including the tip...) before they painted our nails. Ultimately I tipped way too high for the poor service and results I was given, so I now understand why they asked me to pay first. My nails are not in the best shape after a few months of back-to-back gel manicures elsewhere. I just wanted a normal manicure. $17 for that, by the way. I think the color I picked was the only pale pink/purple color they had in there so the selection wasn't good. I had never heard of most of the brands and can't remember the one I picked, but the nail tech was legit globbing the stuff on my nails. The final result looks like something I could have done better at home. Maybe if you want gels then it'll all be okay for you at CK Nails, but I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I never write reviews ever , but this place deserves one. It is my hands down favorite place to get my nails and eyebrows done. I have tried MANY places and I am not easy to please. I now drive 45 minutes to get here because I will never go anywhere else. The owners are amazing. The color selection for both gel and dip is... PHENOMENAL...I mean hundreds of colors. Plus I always leave here with flawless nails that last for WEEKS. The only reason I get them redone is because they grow out. If this review clear enough. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

On 1-27 i went into the salon. After waiting for almost an hour they took me back. I got a full set of dip nails. On 2-1 have of my nails were chiped and the dip was coming off. I went back in on 2-4 and they repaired my nails at no charge. By 2-8 the same thing happened. The majority of my nails were chipped. I didn't even bother going back in. Needless to say I won't be going back to this salon. read more

CK Nails - chipped nail after 2 days - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My go to nail salon for over a year now! It is very clean and the staff is always friendly. They are following all Covid precautions- masks for all, everyone has to wash their hands upon entry, and clear plastic dividers between each seat/between you and nail tech. My nails always look great when I leave and they also have dip polish! read more

They are wonderful!! I have been coming here for years and love seeing Ann for the most relaxing pedicures and amazing eyebrows. Since re-opening after the coronavirus, I was nervous to be going back out in public. Today the facility was spotless, they had placed glass between the nail technician and client, and are strictly following all social distancing protocols. In the two hours I was at the salon I witnessed frequent cleaning of common space and routine use of masks and handwashing. Highly recommend!! read more

The worst and most expensive experience at a nail salon I have ever had. My bill came out to $117 + a $20 tip for acrylic nails that are uneven (fines besides that) and an "pedicure" where my nails were not shaped and I was given a TERRIBLE gel polish job. I seriously have NO idea what I paid for. I called about getting everything removed and getting a refund an hour after my appointment. The lady on the phone said they don't do refunds but I could get it fixed. I went back to get them repainted and 2 days later the gel is ALREADY chipped. I just want everything removed and my money back. I am $137 dollars out on a TERRIBLE job that has a face value of $30. Pictures to prove. I will absolutely NEVER come back here. read more

This is my second time at CK nails and I was very disappointed. I felt like I was in a factory. I called a head to attempt to book an appointment but they told me to come in now there was no wait. When I walked in there was 6 people waiting and I waited for over 30 min to get seen. After sitting down the person doing my nails went so fast and the nails looked terrible. She hardly filed/shaped them and didn't even get the dirt from underneath. She dipped them and the glu was all over my skin. By the time I had gone to the sink to try to scrub it off there was already someone sitting in my chair. There is fix under two of the nails and they are not smooth at all. She tried to correct it but filing my nails at the sink. The worst part about it was how rude she was. She couldn't take a second to talk to me because she was so worried about the wait. I'm so sad I thought I had found my nail place then this totally changed my mind read more

I had been to this salon before, but the most recent experience wasn't great. I got a gel manicure, with adequate results (I liked the color, it lasted well, and the nail tech listened to me when I advised her on how many coats I wanted). However, it was the cleanliness of the salon that bothered me and I don't remember that being a problem before. When I sat down in the chair and put my hands on the counter, the surface was dusty like it hadn't been wiped up after the previous manicure. The tools were removed from a drawer and thrown back in after each usage without cleaning them (and I definitely prefer salons that rip open a package of sanitized tools in front of you because you know they're clean). Finally, the worst part, the nail tech pulled a pair of USED latex gloves out of the drawer and put them on while she did my manicure. I couldn't relax at all because that was disgusting. Overall very unhygienic, but I was too nervous to say anything about it while I was there. Luckily, I didn't have any cuts on my hands and did not end up having any health issues because of the lack of cleanliness, but the experience was not pleasant. I will not be returning. read more

I will never, ever go back to this place. I had about an hour and a half to kill between work and another meeting and I decided to get a quick pedicure since this place is just down the road from me. I walked in to a room that had 3 technicians, two of which were on laptops in the pedicure chairs and one that was on his cell phone. None of them looked at me, instead they asked what I wanted and told me to pick a color. I choose my color and sat down in the chair. Still no eye contact. I tried to talk to the technician doing my pedi, but he was not interested at all. I felt like I was bothering them by being there. He began to clip my toenails and after I winced in pain because he caught a chunk of my skin, he grabbed my leg and firmly put it back down. Still no eye contact. He hardly scrubbed at my winter bitten heels and put about a dime size amount of lotion on my legs. Bottom line, worst pedicure ever, worst customer service ever. All for $30. Unbelieveable. I wanted to complain, but the person I felt was the person I should complain to was busy on her laptop watching YouTube videos. No thank you. I'll stick to my nice places at Easton and Polaris. read more

My poor toesies were in a STATE. So the morning of a wedding I drove around my neighborhood of Grandview with no nail salon destination in mind and found CK Nails. There were 4 other people waiting inside when I arrived sans appointment, along with 4 others currently being buffed and polished. Still, I only had to wait about 45 minutes, which was totally reasonable. Pedicure went much quicker than I'm accustomed to, and the technician totally didn't make fun of me when I started spasming and laughing when she tried to buff my feet (I'm a bit ticklish.) $30 for pedicure + $5 for french tips. (+ $1 for using a credit card. But They offer 5% off if you pay in cash!) read more

Very disappointed with my experience at CK Nails. Last week I went in for a manicure, there were no customers waiting or receiving services so I was taking my time picking out my polish. The receptionist loudly and rudely told me to have a seat so they could get started when I clearly wasn't ready yet. The nail techs were not friendly and unnecessarily rough, and were additionally getting in my face about why I did not want to upgrade to gel. Never returning to this location! read more

I have been itching to write a yelp review about my last experience at CK before I had even left the place. I have been a loyal CK customer for the past 5 years. When i say "loyal" i mean i will ONLY go to CK to get my nails done...but I only go about once every 2 months --I don't go once every 2 weeks. Upon my arrival there was one woman waiting. I was told my wait time would be about 5-10 mins. The woman waiting before me apparently signed in for her 3 other friends (who still hadn't arrived even 10 mins after I had arrived)...yet the next 4 open spots were given to her & her friends. My wait time ended up being 50 minutes. That's not even the worst part. I was finally called up & the woman asked if I had gel on my nails currently. I said yes & she took my hands to soak them when she started inspecting them. I'll admit, they weren't looking too hot-shellac job 3 weeks old.She asked if I had gotten them done at CK and i said no, that i had done them myself at home with my opi shellac kit (I think i do a nice job on my nails for home-done!). She immediately rolled her eyes, shook her head in disgust and then turned to the woman next to me getting her nails done and said "Whyyyy?!". Continuing to shake her head she slammed the bowl of acetone on the counter and bitterly instructed me to put my hands in. I was SHOCKED how openly rude she was with me- & to involve another customer in her distaste for my nails-UNBELIEVABLE. Sorry I can't afford to spend $100 a month to get my nails done...but your job isn't to critique my last manicure...its to give me a damn good one now. I have never had this woman do my nails there...but I believe she may be owner/manager/some higher position--she had her own little desk corner off to the left by herself and she is usually the one i've seen handling customers as they come in. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!! SO RUDE!! Thankfully I was passed onto a much nicer nail technician who did a beautiful job & didn't utter a single rude comment as he scraped my apparently horrible shellac job off my nails. Also, i normally tip even an average job 18%+ and i don't think I could have stomached tipping that woman a cent. Unfortunately, this past experience may cause them my loyalty. The nail technicians have always done a great job but boy that woman was rough!! I heard Nails on Neil does a great job-I will definitely be checking out other options. read more

Was a walkin on a Saturday afternoon. Passed between two technicians who paid little attention to me. The male technician who did my gel nails rolled his eyes when I asked to check the color (the bottle set in front of me had a different color painted on the top than in the bottle). Was tapped at instead of asked to move nails. I'm still new to consistent gel nails, but my thump nail chip within 18 hours. The last two sets prior to this last 4 weeks before chipping. My nails were not balanced or checked for health. Three more chipped before the two week mark (as a note, did not choose an OPI brand). Prices were not explained prior to service. Was scoffed at when I wanted to pay by credit card. Looked like people around me were content, but I will never return. read more

I decided to come in on a whim to get a gel pedicure. Service was quite prompt and friendly. I walked in an hour an a half before close and the place was hopping. I was greeted upon arrival and told to sign in. There were five people in front of me, but I only waited about 15 minutes. The man doing my pedicure was very thorough and took time to explain the pricing to me as I was new customer. I left with a lovely gel pedicure and much smoother heels. All in all a great experience! read more

CK Nails is definitely my go-to for my pedicure and eyebrow wax. I have been going here for almost 3 years now and have no complaints what so ever. They always are polite, speedy but precise, and don't try to up sell you. Some of the these reviews are ridiculous. If you want to get in and out in fifteen, then go to a mall salon or some random campus one.. You will get exactly what a fifteen manicure can give, a hot mess! I def recommend calling ahead to either make an appt, or to see if they are super busy. Kim's is my fave, but if she's not there, then anyone can help. Try it out, you won't regret it. read more

Fantastic job! I've been to several places in Columbus and this was one of the best gel I've had done. Ann did an amazing job and took her time.

I have had nothing but problems every time I have been there. The last time and it will be the last time they charged me 72.00 for an acrylic balance. I understand gel nail polish is more but repairing two broken nails at 5 each then charging to cut down is ridiculous. I new set would have been less expensive. read more

this place is absolutely awful. 5 nails out of my set of acrylics are broken, popped off, or cracked in half... and i've had them for A WEEK! i called and asked for a price and they told me 40. I WALKED OUT PAYING ALMOST 60. You could could tell she was being careless due to the fact she was re-sticking, re-filing, and LAUGHING about it. I was not told how long to sit under the dryer so i walked out with one nail with polish smudged. On top of that, i woke up the next morning with the most painful tight feeling ive ever felt on... every... single ... nail. I AM HIGHLY disappointed and will never give this place another penny in my life. i'm not even certified and i could've done better at home. read more
