K-Lux Nails - Gel X with detailed nail art - Nail Salons Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

I needed a gel refill after getting a new set a few weeks before at a different nail salon. I wasn't happy with the set and didnt want to go back there so I took a chance at K-Lux Nails. I am so glad I did. Kevin is very good at what he does. He did an excellent job. The shape of my nails were done properly. He also quickly glanced at a photo I had that showed the nail color and design I wanted, and he knocked it out of the park! Exciting to have a new nail salon after the last experience, and one I can stick with. read more

I came in here for the first time specifically for Kevin and the amount of amazing reviews he has. First of all, the aesthetic of the salon is beautiful & clean -- by far the best salon I have ever been to. I wanted a specific design for my nails to match an event that I'll be attending to soon, & my god Kevin delivered with recreating what I wanted. Kevin was busy taking calls and servicing other customers that came in for their appointments but was still attentive in every detail during my nail appointment. He's also so kind and thoughtful with recommending what he thinks would be best for you too. Moreover, all the staff at the salon were so nice and helpful across the board too. I highly recommend anyone to come here to get their manis/pedis done, & best believe I will be coming back here to do my nails again with Kevin. read more

You NEED to patronize this business if you do gel-x, BIAB, or just gel nails. ESPECIALLY Janelle! I drive all the way from Berkeley just to get my nails done here. They're one of the few nail salons that openly tells you they do gel-x fills, and doesn't pretend they can't fill gel-x even though they do BIAB. I refuse to have my nails reduced to painful sheets of paper because a salon wants to refile the entirety of my nail beds every time I want to change my manicure! Just, NO. Honest salons like K-Lux should be the standard. Janelle's gel-x sets have lasted me longer than a month, no lifting, whereas every other nail tech I've tried anywhere has my gel-x lifting before 2 weeks is even up. If you were about to give up on gel-x, try Janelle before you do! Even though her sets are long-lasting, I'm pretty much dedicated to going every 2 weeks for a fill when I can find the time! Plus they have every single chrome, glitter, crystal, and color you could ever want. It's NOT just what's on the shelves, the swatch decks, the boards, and books. They have drawers full of stuff you don't see. If you have a color you want and you don't see it, just show them! Glass cat eye? They have it. Glitter cat eye? Yup. Airbrush nails? Yes please. 3D designs? Uh-huh. With the selection of accoutrements I haaaaave seen, I wouldn't doubt they also have things like jelly polish, Mylar, flowers, and nail charms. Don't be afraid to ask! Did I mention they stay open til 7PM!!! on weekdays??? Um, yes!!! Just one star off because although they do acrylic, I'm not sure if their removal is soak-off and e-file, or ripping the nail off your bed like most salons, but I'm pretty sure if you asked them to do a soak-off and e-file removal, they would honor that if you preschedule, or they have the time on a walk in. But those are just the vibes I get. I could be wrong. Again, it never hurts to ask. It's a clean, chic salon with a good vibe, and it always smells nice in there. They're accommodating as long as you communicate with them. Try them out. PS. They're gentle with their e-files LOL vital information. read more

UPDATE: 9 days after getting my nails done here I had vertical cracks along my pointer nail and one on my big toenail. 9 FULL DAYS was how long my nails lasted. Im not hard on my nails, I don't have them in water excessively. There's no reason why this happened other than poor quality service. I was out of town so had to find a nail shop while away to fix the nails. I will not return to this establishment. read more

Came here due to my regular nail tech being out of town and i desperately needed an appointment. I got my nails done by Janelle (gel -x) and gel pedicure. The salon is gorgeous and sterile. She was very nice. She did a pretty good job, however she tore my cuticles up! My cuticles are all cut and sore. When she was doing them I noticed a lot of bleeding. I got my nails done Friday 2/13 and I'm writing this review 2/18 and I'm still extremely sore. My fingers are still so tender to touch. I'm hesitant on going back. Otherwise pretty good work and nice service I just wish she would have not cut all of my cuticles as bad on all of my fingers. I tried to insert photos to show but the camera doesn't do a good job of picking that up. read more

I've been here twice, and I have been very happy and impressed with how my nails look after getting a manicure at K-Lux. Giving 5 stars overall for the finished, end result, even though service was better the first time than the second time. On my first visit I came in for a full set, and they suggested Gel X Extensions, which I got for the first time. Nancy did an amazing job with my Gel X Extensions. She was friendly, efficient, and had great attention to detail. My red French design with a gold line looked beautiful! I came back 3 weeks later for a fill. Despite it being a fill, it took twice as long and two people worked on my nails. The person working on my fill was very distracted and kept answering calls, making calls, and attending to people walking in while working on my nails. Luckily I didn't have any plans right after my appointment, and the end result of the fill looked great, but I wish it had gone a bit faster. This was my manicure for my wedding, so as long as it looked perfect that's all that mattered to me ultimately. I was passed on to Kevin for my nail art and I was happy with his work. I got a French manicure with a silver line, and it looked very pretty! I love the vibe of this place. It has a nice clean aesthetic and they had cute decorations for Valentine's Day. They offer you water bottles during service and they have snacks in the waiting area. I recommend making an appointment. Parking is easy in the garage. read more

A clean nail salon with a great variety of colors, cat eye and chrome add-ons, pedi "spa" choices, and very nice staff. Would highly recommend over a lot of other unclean feeling places. I chose the coffee scrub pedicure which included a paraffin wax. My feet looked and felt so good afterwards. Will definitely be back! read more

Service was amazing ! Didn't get all staff names however they were all very sweet. Shoutout to Anna ! She serviced me both pedi and mani and did an excellent job. She ensured I was comfortable and took her time rather than a rush job. She was so sweet and gentle enough for my liking. Decor was everything ! Parking is accessible, in the front but you can also park in the free parking garage. Want a full day out ? There's food / shopping and move theater all in the same block! Pricing is reasonable as well. Appointment or walk in ? Walk-ins are acceptable I noticed however appointment seems more sufficient for this location. It's been a few weeks since I went and my nails are still doing well . read more

Everyone is always nice and friendly, I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Best nail place I have ever been to in customer service, and quality. I booked with Kevin and had the most top notch experience. He payed attention to every intricate detail, and always checked in with me if I didn't like anything, or if it looked good. I had a bad experience with a nail salon earlier in the week, so my nails were over-filed, and I had cuts on my fingers. He made sure to do my nails delicately, and even made sure nothing he was doing was hurting the cuts. The design he did on my nails followed the picture I wanted exactly. read more

got my nails done here recently. I had an appointment but still ended up waiting a bit, which wasn't a huge deal. I'll be honest--this just wasn't quite what I was looking for. I came in for builder gel nails, and I was expecting the more traditional painted-on builder gel. Instead, the tech used a squeeze-tube method that went on very thick, which I personally didn't love. There also wasn't much cuticle cleanup, and unfortunately my nails chipped after just a couple of days. That said, there are positives. The service was friendly, the color selection was really cute, and the price was very affordable. I usually pay $100+ at my regular salon, and this was only around $60, which is a big difference. I think this place really comes down to what you're looking for. If you want something quick, affordable, and decent-looking, this is a solid option--the whole appointment only took about 30 minutes. If you're someone who prefers a very meticulous, detail-oriented nail service (my usual salon takes 1.5 hours and is extremely thorough), this might not be the best fit. Overall, it just wasn't for me personally, but I can definitely see it working well for others--especially if you're not as picky as I am. read more

Came last month to get my nails done before I went on vacation for two weeks. I showed them my reference photo and it looks exactly like the picture! Nails lasted 3+ weeks with no lifting. Reasonable prices and great service. Will be back! read more

I am writing to formally address your response, which is factually incorrect and a clear attempt to shift blame for your own scheduling errors. The Time Discrepancy: When I requested 2:30 PM, I was explicitly told that time was available. I never agreed to--nor was I even told about--a 12:30 PM appointment. I scheduled over a week in advance on purpose. It would have been physically impossible for me to be there at that time, so the claim that we "mutually agreed" on it is completely false. System Changes: You claim your system shows no changes were made, yet I have photo proof of Kevin canceling my appointment. This directly contradicts your statement and proves that your records are either inaccurate or being misrepresented. Professionalism & Communication: Regarding the "inappropriate" messages: Janelle sought me out on my private Instagram and encouraged me to message her directly for future bookings because, in her own words, the salon "tends to mess up bookings a lot." If expecting an apology for repeated scheduling mistakes is what you define as "unpleasant," then we have very different definitions of customer service. At no point did I raise my voice, use foul language, or speak inappropriately; I simply asked for accountability for a mistake that has happened multiple times now. Staff Conduct: While I attempted to resolve the issue and reschedule, it was Kevin who was rude and refused to accommodate the situation, ultimately canceling the appointment himself. I would have loved to just get an apology for your mistake and have rebooked with you. That was the outcome I was hoping for but it seems that's not what you guys wanted. It is incredibly unprofessional to use a public forum to gaslight a client instead of taking responsibility for a logistical error. This response only further highlights a lack of basic customer service and an inability to treat long-standing customers with respect when a mistake is made on your end. read more

Ugh today was my first and last time coming here because I had such an awful experience. I had an appointment booked for a builder gel mani and gel pedi. The gel pedi took an hour and 10 mins and the nail tech was incredibly sweet but it looks like a 5 year old painted my toe nails. She painted over cuticles, they are cut super uneven, one big toe is round and the other is square and there was paint everywhere; even on my toes themselves. She told me someone would get me to do my nails so I waited 20 mins and when no one came I got up to pay because I didn't realize it would take over 90 mins to even start my nails. As a new mom, it's already difficult to carve out time and arrange childcare for appointments, so it was frustrating to feel like my time was not respected. I left there in tears because it was my only chance in weeks to get my nails done and I ended up leaving with the worst pedicure I've ever had and I did not even get my nails done in the end. I feel extremely disappointed. read more

I recently booked K-Lux in Pleasant Hill for part of my bachelorette party (I had been to the salon 1 other time). They were able to accommodate an entire party of 9 and were really flexible when we had to make a last minute adjustment. The salon is very large and spacious with I believe 8 chairs for pedicures, as well as many tables for just manicures. Since my wedding was in a few days, I requested Mia for my Gel X manicure with nail art, because I kept seeing her amazing work on Instagram. I gave her a few reference photos of bridal nails that I liked but also told her she could follow her own judgment and artistic instinct. She absolutely blew me away with her work. It was my first time getting Gel X, so I was a bit nervous, but she was really meticulous about the entire process, including carefully cleaning all the excess gel underneath. The design was so beautiful. Mia is a true artist. I've gotten so many compliments on my nails, especially on my wedding day. If you are looking for Pinterest perfect nail art, definitely ask for Mia! She even does 3D designs, though I only needed 2D art. And definitely get a pedicure! They have a menu of about 10 different pedicure offerings. I've tried both the signature and the rose pedicure and they were both so luxurious. I want to give an extra shout out to Anna who I previously received a manipedi from, as well as the owner Kevin. I didn't catch the name of the lady who usually handles check-in and payment, but she was really helpful too. I will absolutely be back again soon. What a great addition to the area. I've gone to multiple nail salons in the area for years, but all it took was 2 visits to convert me. read more
