    Mediterranean vibe

    I've been coming to this spot for years now. Lien uses her magical talent to do something new and funky to my nails every time I come in!! Love.

    Lien is amazing and does a great job every time. I normally get an acrylic refill and she's done cat eye and jelly style nails for me. Recently I asked for designs for a concert I'm going to and I'm so happy how it turned out! I asked for a daisy with a missing petal and then designs from the artist's album covers. Lien also works quickly so I don't end up spending too long at the salon.

    I have been going here at Excellent Nails for about four years now absolutely love it. Lein is so good. They are all so very good there.

    Lein you are the BEST. had Ponl and white nails done. Not everyone knows how to do this. excellent Nails is a wonderful clean nail salon. I have never been disappointed. Everyone is so nice there.

    Ombré dip by Lien

    My MOH booked this place for my bridesmaids and I to get our nails done. I never get my nails done except for when I'm in a wedding, so of course I had to get them done for my own! I wanted something neutral, with a little bit of sparkle and Lien did a great job on my ombre dip nails (with iridescent glitter!) It was a beautiful look for my wedding, and the nails lasted me for weeks! I had never had dip done before, so it was an interesting process to see with the dip powder. My nails were super thick after, which I am not used to. Also got a pedicure and had them scrub all the nasty dead skin off my feet. The ladies were all super nice and courteous, and we had a great time at this salon.

    Left toe

    Ugh. Received a pedicure yesterday and the technician punctured my skin on BOTH big toes.

    I love Excellent Nails! Here are some of the nail dip sets I got from Lien. I switched to dip powder and will never go back. It helped grow my nails so much and made them healthy and strong. Lien always matches exactly what I want and everyone is super helpful and nice here. 10/10 would recommend :)

    I did a mani and pedi for $40 each which is fairly priced. Pedi took about 50 minutes and was done nicely and efficiently by a lady.

Kathy was my technician for my first time at Kitchen Nail Bar. She was thorough and attentive, and she took great care of me. I did the essential pedi and she timed a 5 minute foot and leg massage which was a nice touch. I was really happy with Kathy's cuticle work too. The salon is quiet and relaxing, even if a bit tight. The only thing that was disappointing was the nail polish for my mani. The polish was dried out and a bit chunky, so it looks thicker than I would have preferred, even though the top coat smoothed out the streakiness. Hopefully it lasts. Overall, would come here again, and just speak up if the polish isn't as smooth as preferred.

    I came in to Kitchen Nail Bar MV with an appointment (highly recommended, as they are a busy salon…read moreeven on a weekday). As this was my first time here, I went with any available nail artist. I was luckily assigned to Lee. Lee brought my manicure inspiration photos to life and noticed the small details I didn't event realize were in my inspo photos! I came in wanting beach themed nails for a wedding and I walked out super super happy- I couldn't stop looking at my nails after she finished. I don't often get my nails done and I am grateful to how kind and patient Lee was with her recommendations for the nail art. She is super meticulous in all from shaping my nails to noticing the finest details of my inspo photos to checking in with me often if I liked the art that was in progress. I am definitely coming back to Kitchen Nail Bar MV for the next time I need my nails done for a special occasion. Thank you, Lee!

As a bonus, they have a surprising big complimentary drink selection which is such a kind and delicious gesture! Coming in, I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. Jenni was amazing at helping me figure out what I wanted based on my lifestyle, budget, and the event I needed it for. She was incredibly meticulous and careful with my gel mani, including with the edges. No part of my nail was left unpainted, no part of my skin was accidentally painted, and the texture and shine were perfect. For my gel pedi, Peter was super thorough and kind! My nails held up perfectly for five weeks with absolutely zero chips or dents! Had I not been worried about just the look of the nail growth, I probably could have left them for another few weeks, even! I went back today for a new gel manicure, and Jenni's removal process was completely painless and gentle. Unlike some other salons, it was clear that Jenni placed a lot of thought and care into protecting my natural nail bed when removing the gel. Even though the salon was busy, she was present with me and I felt she was not rushing. Sitting there, I overheard her with other clients and was impressed by how much she remembers about everyone's lives, time commitments, and preferences. She is genuine and intentional with her relationships, taking all of this information into account to give her clients the best experience. All in all, this salon has a lot of heart (and quality)! I'll definitely be back regularly and for my wedding in a few months!!

    I typically do not write this kind of review, but the service I received on 6/14 was unacceptable…read moreand I could not get over how it soured my day. I had a Groupon for a pedicure here, and upon reviewing their website noted that they had 20% off for their opening and that gel nails were 45, so even though I normally go to Enjoy Nails in Palo Alto I thought why the heck not, I'll go here this week. The establishment is fine, but the woman who greeted me was on the phone, and remained on the phone while she started my pedicure. Any semblance of a "heavenly" spa experience was gone. A second woman came later, who started my nails, filing them down to thin stubs. Then we moved to the table, at which point the woman that had been doing my toes (who by the way, didn't wear a mask the entire time I was there) began blow drying her hair right behind me. Unhygienic and unprofessional. The manicurist finished my hands, at which point both women wandered into the back, seeming unsure of what to do next. Then the pedicurist/apparent hair stylist in training walked out on the phone again, demanding 55. I explained that wasn't what was on the website, pulling out the list for them to see. She saw the listed price, then got back into a heated conversation on the phone, at which point she hands the phone to me, informing me that it's the owner. This woman is ultimately why I wrote this review. If you want to create loyal clientele at your new business, I wouldn't recommend yelling at them over the phone. Nor would I recommend trying to bargain: this is a business, not a flea market. She insists that the service I received (pictured below, as well as what I had asked for) was not gel, but dip, despite my initial request over the phone and in person for gel and that my total was 55. I again showed the menu, and the pedicurist woman took pictures of my phone for her boss, but she continued to yell at my that it was 55. Then she said she could do 20% off 55 for 45. That's just not even the correct math. I really just wanted to leave at this point, as I was tired of being berated and paid the 44 (20% of 55) plus tip. They only accept Venmo or Zelle, which is beyond sketchy. The pedicurist then apologized to me, saying that she has to call her boss because if they get the wrong price they get yelled at. Not only do the employees not know what the prices are, the owner is rude to them. I wholeheartedly do not support this establishment and will not be returning.

    I love this place!!! Mimi is so wonderful and her staff. I have been coming here for the past…read moremonths and would continue to come. Ann does my nails and she's the best. Mila did a wonderful job with my pedicure. Thank you ladies.
