9/9/17 This place was recommended by a their former worker, that I met at the eyebrow place earlier that day. Atmosphere Upon entering this place, I thought it was clean. There were about 9-10 chairs for pedicures and 9 tables for manis. The walls are painted a pale blue. No real theme in their decor. The chairs are cool. Service The hostess was friendly at first but quick to dismiss me. She gave me answer and she was already asking someone behind me what they needed. Umm, what if I had a follow up question? They let me soak for 15 minutes before Kelly came by. Kelly did a great job on the cuticles and the massage, but not so great with the heel. I wanted her to get all in there with that grater tool. I didn't even see her take it out. The customer next to me had the grater done. Weird. Kelly then painted one toe and asked if I was happy with the color. I was and I was glad she asked. Then she dipped a brush into a cup of alcohol to clean off any mistakes. Mani Kelly said very little to me. I'm fact I wouldn't call her friendly. The job was done well. Fast forward four weeks. No chips! I am very lucky and I was pleased with the results. This nail salon needs to work on friendlier costumer service and not be so rushed. read more

I literally just wanted a fill but the lady started cutting off my old set and scrapping them off brutally making my middle finger bleed... Then she was very rude and asked where i got my nails done at before WHEN IT WAS LITERALLY AT THERE. Then she told me next time not to come back so soon(it had been over a month since my last set) and she said to wait 4 months until my nails turn yellow. She was very aggressive with my hands and my nails aren't even shaped because she rushed. Will not be returning to this place. I'm appalled at this customer service. read more

I usually love it there, but today I went for a pedicure with regular polish trying to relax because I had a long day. The woman doing my nails was so pushy and adamant that I needed gel. She kept telling me that they didn't have the specific colors I was asking for in regular polish, only gel. I by accidentally scratched the polish before I left and while she fixed it she kept saying that if I got gel, it would not have happened. I also asked for white with pink sparkles and she kept asking "are you sure?" every 5 seconds while she did it. I was going there to relax and she honestly made me more stressed because she would not stop. She also repeatedly asked me while I had my feet under the fan when I was going to pay and wouldn't let me leave until my tip went through on venmo. She was so pushy!! read more

Tia is hands down the best nail technician I've ever had! She's patient, meticulous, and genuinely cares about her clients. I'm so grateful to have found her 7 years ago! and i will always recommend her to everyone I know! The salon is super clean & welcoming environment. Great color variety as well. Ps- Tia is the best at removing ingrown nails read more

Whenever I bring in a picture it looks amazing and just like how I want them to. Super affordable too.

Absolutely horrendous. I clearly asked for just a fill and the woman started cutting off the tips & my real nails that I have worked so hard to grow!!! She also cut the skin of my pinky under my nail, and I got very startled because it caused pain and she told me "don't worry about it" !!??? I asked her what she was doing and she said I needed new ones. That's not what I asked for!!!! Then she tells me to pick it off myself and hands me a broken tip to scrape my own nails ???!!! WHAT??!!again, she said that's OK. I said no just cut the rest off clean them up and I'm leaving. then she tells me oh, I don't have to pay for it and asked me if I want a fill ??!!!! Are you kidding me?!!! Do you really think I was gonna give you money after you just cut off all my nails & injured my finger. IASKED FOR A FILL!! TWICE!!! once to the man at reception when I walked in and again to the woman who is going to take care of my nails . There was clearly a language barrier....respectfully. I do not recommend the salon. They do not understand what you want and they do their own thing & injure you in the process. She never even said I'm sorry . horrible, horrific, terrible & awful gross!!!! Awful customer service to say the very least. read more

My girl Ally was very nice, & the quality was good. But I would not return AGAIN! They Overcharged me! It is a good thing I had a Credit Card on Me. I only brought $80 dollars with me, and they charged me $105, and I left a $20 tip to boot! Never Again! I don't like being Taken Advantage Of! Alison P Cranston, RI read more

"No, that's not a bad gel mani, that's your nail." This is what I got told when I complained about how terrible my nails came out. It may not seem like a big deal and it really isn't, but getting my nails done is the one thing I look forward to every couple of weeks and only thing I do for myself. Not to mention the girl filed one of my nails down too much and made it bleed, but they're still denying that too. All of my nails physically hurt, I have never had this happen to me before. They did however give me half my money back. They normally do a great job, but now I know how they handle these types of situations and won't be returning. read more

Literally the worst place to get your nails done. I got a full set two weeks ago and broke a nail the same day. I thought it try again for a fill, same day, a nail broke again. And when I left I realized my nails are bumpy,extremely thin and uneven. I would never recommend this place they do not care. read more

After coming here for months since January to get mani pedis, gel manicures, acrylic full sets and having a few bad experiences I decided I would continue to give it a chance until today. I went in to have my acrylics removed and the girl started to rip them off with nail tips. After mentioning to her that she was hurting me she continued to pull them off until she ripped my natural nail off along with the acrylic. After realizing my nail had started to bleed she did nothing and continued to use the same technique. On top of that I was charged full price. Do NOT recommend coming here to anyone! read more

This is my new go-to place!! I used to rarely get my nails done but since I've found this place I can't resist! A friend of mine had recommended a bunch of nail salons and Kai's was one of them. I tried the other places first but they were all too busy for me so then I decided to try here. When I arrived I noticed how large and spacious the salon was. They have many nail stations and several pedicure stations. They were busy, but because of the amount of space they have they were able to fit me in. I have never received a better manicure in my life. My nail tech was so nice and did an amazing job on my nails. I got a gel manicure and everyone asked me if my nails were real, they looked that good!! Their prices are great too. A gel manicure is only $22 which I can afford every 2-3 weeks. I am very happy with their work and I have been back a few times since. I will continue to go there!!! Highly recommended!!!! read more

I had a few broken nails since I have been too busy to maintain regular appointments and came in and asked for the remainder of my nails to be soaked off. My nail tech used the nail file and clippers to get off two of them despite my request and partially soaked off the other two and filed it off injuring me. When gluing on the tips, on two nails she removed the tips to re-adjust then filed them and added another tip. She injured me again. I asked for square tip and skinny since I figured that couldn't possibly be messed up. But of course the shapes are all inconsistent. Then going over my nails post powder with the electric nail file, she manages to cut me FOUR times within the first two nails on my right hand. I asked for another nail tech and she refused. I've never had the area around my nails sting so badly even the day after. My thumb looks like it's going to be infected. For a set take off and new set it should have been $30 and I didn't even have a full set to take off and I didn't even put any polish on and she charged me $33. read more

Kai's Nail Salon and Spa - Worst place EVER! Read my review why - Nail Salons Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Great location! Everything was clean and the staff is friendly. Ask for Sam, she was awesome!

I have been here a handful of times since a yelp friend recommended it. I have only had one sub-par experience. My nail polish was bumpy and eventually those bumps "popped' and wiped off half of the nail polish on that finger. Also two of my nails broke with in the first week. I believe this was from this particular technician filing the tips at an angle (seemed a bit odd of her to do that since it makes the tips of your nails thin) Either way I have learned my lesson to ask for Kenya. She is a perfectionist. She takes her time, so don't go in a hurry. Your outcome will be perfect nails that last until your next visit 2-3 weeks later. I have weak, thin nails so I choose gell manicures at a minuscule price of $22, you really can't go wrong. My nails since doing gell have been long and beautiful. I have never had to wait, I go on Thursdays and have both manis and pedis. They also offer gell pedis which most places dont. read more

I decided to come here since I needed a mani pedi today and the salon got good reviews. I got stuck with the new girl. I just left the salon after not enjoying the experience at all. My nail was so sharp it scratched my steering wheel. Then I noticed nail polish build up on the tip of my nail. I paid extra for Vinylux nail polish since I want them to last. I don't even know if it will last till tomorrow. The soaking water was cold and the pedicure water was lukewarm and the young tech that did my nail spoke no English. Probably one of my worst nail salon experiences. I called to complain and they said they will fix it but of course I have to find time to get back there read more

DONT EVER GO HERE!!!! Let me start of with that!!! I've never been to a business where they blame the customers nails for their own mistake of causing them to bleed. And when you say ouch it's bleeding they say they didn't do that! This is exact scenario I guess for a lot of the comments that were left. And going in to speak with the owner/ manager doesn't help because she tells you that it's your nails not the woman who just started 2 weeks ago. Maybe the manager needs to learn how to run a business and how to communicate appropriately with clients and not blame them! read more

Have been going here for a few years, was almost always pleased. But lately it's been terrible. There are a couple of girls who always do a great job, but most of them are not very good at all. I went in about 10 days ago, with 5 acrylic nails completely missing and 5 still very much in good shape. The tech INSISTED repeatedly that I needed a whole new set, which of course is more expensive, instead of just doing 5 new ones and filling the rest. But I agreed. Spent the next 15 minutes getting 5 perfectly good nails ripped off, which they of course charged me extra for. Except they charge to take all 10 off, even though they're only doing half the work. Again, I said fine. The tech did a so-so job, burned me a couple of times with the electric file, and made the new nails extremely thin, as well as kind of ragged and sticking up on the edge along the cuticle on a couple of them. I tried to explain this to her, but she just shrugged and acted like she didn't quite understand me. Because of all the extra charges, it ended up costing me about double what I normally pay. I still tipped her well. In less than a week, one of the brand new nails ripped completely off for no reason. I went in to get it fixed, which normally would be free after such a short time, and the manager had the nerve to charge me to fix it, when it was their lousy job that made it break in the first place. Not to mention they put it back on very crookedly. I was fed up at that point, but then this morning I ripped off another 2 brand new tips in quick succession, while doing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Before this, I had very seldom broken a nail, maybe 2 or 3 total in the past few years. All in all, a new set of acrylic nails with gel polish + 20% tip, as well as the fix, ended up costing me $70. And now I have 2 more snapped off, which will undoubtedly cost me at least another $6, unless I want to walk around looking ridiculous after paying all that money in the first place. I'm not going back again, unless it's a dire emergency, and I have no other choice. And even then, only if I can make an appointment with someone who actually knows what she's doing. read more

I love the nails that Kenya did for me, and Kenya herself! I have recently fallen in love with gel nails (I know, like 10 years after everyone else), and with the prices at Kai's Nails ($22 for a gel mani, cheaper than most other places in the area), I can actually afford to get them regularly! Kenya was super sweet and friendly, she could tell I was new to the gel nail game and happily explained everything to me. She also told me hilarious stories about herself and her family, making the time pass by quickly. And of course, my gel nails are beautiful (the picture included is the nails after 4 days). I will be making this place my regular nail salon when I'm in the area. read more

I've been going here for years and my nail tech was more concerned at first with her phone. Once that was all set she did my nails. Rushed through. Paid 45 for a French manicure. I had her fix one of my nails that had broke. That.one fell off in a few days time. My French manicure started to peels days after. Called to see what they could do as it was about a week and a half since I could get there because of Christmas and they wouldn't make the wrong right. This is what dedication to a nail salon does for you. Their all about money it seems now. Sad because I likes this place. Drove 25 mins to go here but now its tim to find another salon that'll do right by their customers. read more

I recently moved to RI and this place was recommended to me by Yelp and a neighbor. I'm NEVER going back. First, you get waited on more quickly as a walk in than when you have an appt. Ally is the only one who knows what she is doing. Jasmine makes your nails so thick even one of the other techs commented on it during my next visit. Finally, Molly did a full set for me. The nails were too wide, polish was uneven and she made 4 of my cuticles bleed by getting too close! Avoid this place!!!! read more

Worst experience today. My daughter picked out a color and she starting painting the wrong color and then said she didn't have the right color and said we needed to go find the one we wanted on our own- offered no help. Then she cut her coffin style nails all crooked... and now they look like crap and they are extremely sharp. Kept saying it was my daughters nail shape that was the problem but they were acrylic that she just put on! Going to another salon to get them fixed. Charged me full price. Will never go back. Pictures in comments. One side straight and the other slanted. read more

This place is the worst!! I got my nails done yesterday in this salon. The lady who did my nails was so rude. She made two of my cuticles bleed and ignored it like she couldn't see it. She used the drill on my nails way too much. It was so painful and she did not even apologize. Today, my cuticles are swollen because of her. Another thing, i showed her a picture of what design i would like to get, but she did a very different design!! Not even close at all!! I have never experienced this from any other nail salons that i go to. It just so happened that they were open at my available time. I will never go back here. Please don't waste your money and time in this place, customers deserve better service! read more

This place is dirty and the staff are rude. The staff were lounging around and unwelcoming.. Stay clear!

I went today for the first time to KAIS Nail Salon. I had Ashley give me a Manicure and Pedicure; What a FABULOUS JOB SHE DID!!! I am very meticulous and she took her time and made sure I was satisfied with each foot/hand before going onto the next. Ashley was super sweet, great personality and won me over with taking her time and caring about so much about MY COMFORT, plus SATISFACTION!! I met quite a few of the staff today and everyone seemed so nice and welcoming. I will definetly be returning back very soon to ASHLEY! Prices are very reasonable, superclean and welcoming!!

Highly recommend this place! It's spacious and lovely read more

Came here based on the great reviews. I called ahead and was able to book an appointment pretty quickly. Upon arrival, my tech sat me down and brought me sets of colors. I chose to do a gel manicure: tiramisu for two by OPI--a cult classic. Although I do like the color, my experience felt a bit rushed despite there not being anyone waiting. She did a good job, though left more space between the cuticle than I would have liked. Additionally, shaping the nails was rather uneven. Lastly, the thumb has an air bubble from applying the coats too quickly and not letting it dry. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more
