    Nails that look like teeth.

    My friend went to get her nails done and got crooked nails, and I went back to get my nails done, and my nails were crooked and short and thick. I won't be going back!

    My favorite place to get my nails done I've been going here for my acrylics for 2 years now and have never been unsatisfied. The service is quick and the staff are always super nice!! Conversation is really easy, I always have a good experience.

    "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.

    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.

    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!

    Everyone asked me if my nails were real.... They are!!!

    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!!!!

    Came here based on recommendations...they were extremely friendly and took great care of my nails. Definitely plan on returning!

    Worst place EVER! Read my review why

    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.

    Wasn't ready for a dark shade yet =P

    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.

    Came here and got a full gel set by T, they came out amazing! So pleased with her work, will be returning for my fills biweekly :)

    Kenya was super sweet and friendly, she could tell I was new to the gel nail game and happily explained everything to me.

Walking into the salon, the place was bright and clean. I was welcomed by the man I talked to on the phone, and was taken to the wall of nail polish. They had quite a large selection of colors. My nail tech was good, she didn't talk much which I appreciated because I just wanted to relax and gave me a nice shoulder message afterwards. Overall I'm happy with my nails and will return again.

I typically request an appointment online and despite doing so unless it is early in the morning the appointment always runs much longer than necessary due to how busy they are. I'm not sure if it is due to overbooking or just allowing too many walk-ins, but I have definitely had to wait over 20 minutes for an appointment I made in advanced which is unacceptable. Charming nail is one of the only salons in the area which offers dazzle dry, but the consistency of the service is all over the place. Some technicians follow the dazzle dry procedures perfectly which results in a long lasting manicure, but others don't and my nails chip less than 24 hours after being done. This is frustrating when I'm spending $30 plus tip for something that doesn't last. Especially when I'm getting nails done for a special event. Overall the vibe of the salon is good and the people are nice, but I do hope this lapse in recent service rectifies itself so that I can feel confident in going back.

They always greet you with a smile, make great conversation, and genuinely care about their clients. You never feel rushed and they always make you feel comfortable and welcome. I have ingrown toenails, so pedicures can be painful if they're not done properly. Paula and Leah take such great care of me that my toenails never hurt after an appointment. They are gentle, thorough, and really know what they're doing. Not only are they talented, but they make every visit enjoyable. I would highly recommend either of them to anyone looking for a great pedicure and exceptional service.

    Never again. Since this place changed ownership about a half year ago, the service has tanked. It…read moreseems the best nail techs are gone, or I've just been unlucky. Pedicures are still great, but during my last visit for nails, my tech put two of my tips on crooked which happens, but they can be reshaped before the clear polish goes on. He didn't bother and I didn't notice until it was too late. I broke two nails in the first week, which doesn't happen to me, unless it's time for another appointment. When I stopped by to have them fixed, the receptionist said my tech was busy and she wasn't sure if the other (available) tech would fix them for me... What? She ultimately fixed them, but she did the bare minimum to remove the old tip extension and glued a new one on top resulting in chunky, uneven nails that clearly stood out from the rest. She was very nice though and didn't charge me anything. I still tipped her $10, even though she told me not to worry about it. The receptionists have treated me like I'm an inconvenience every time I've gone in, but I kept trying because the place is so clean and so beautiful and maybe I just needed to find my new regular. I'm always polite, respectful and patient and have consistently tipped $20 on a $53 service regardless of quality. Oh, beware of hidden costs. Dip with tip extensions is $53, but I blindly paid $58 and learned this later when checking my bank account. I received no extra polish or other service, not even a hand massage or cuticle oil. I now doubt it was a mistake. Today was the final straw. I had booked an appointment online for 10:15 this morning. I was trying a different tech who was finishing another customer. I had never met her so I didn't know what she looked like, but she ended up being the person who had just finished, got up, walked away, came back out at 10:45 with her car keys and sunglasses and was about to leave when the receptionist remembered me and told her, "Oh, you have an appointment waiting," and pointed at me. Tech came over and said "Oh, what are you here for?" "Dip with tips." She answered "Ohhh, I don't do Dip. I'm allergic to Dip." When you book an online appointment, you have to select your service. I selected Dip. They should have known this would be an issue when I checked in. I had been waiting for 30 minutes for absolutely nothing, because they just stared at me and offered no solution. I stood up and started to leave when one of them uttered something. I said, "I'm good. Thank you," and left. I gave this place the benefit of the doubt multiple times. Lesson learned.
