Honestly I've come here a few times mostly for the affordable prices and because the owners are always so friendly, however I have to write this review based on the gel manicure I got 2 days ago. The past times I came here the work done was average at best, but this time my nails look like a complete mess. Lynn did my nails herself and she seemed to rush the job and didn't pay much attention to detail or good work. The pictures are self explanatory, I tried to ignore the messy work that was done and hoped the excess gel polish would wash off but it hasn't and now I have to get this mess fixed somewhere else because she didn't pay attention to detail and rushed the job. Unfortunately I will not be returning and I will get my nails done near CSUF where the prices are a bit more but the owner actually cares about doing a great job and inspects her work before having her customers leave.i read more

Absolutely love this place! Lyn helped me pick out the perfect color. She did my nails just how I asked according to the picture. Her attention to detail is phenomenal! I couldn't have been more happy. I'd definitely come back again. Oh! She also massaged my hands very nicely. Great customer service. Great atmosphere. Very polite staff. The first picture is a model of what I wanted. The next pictures are my nails read more

I've been going back and forth to different shops to get my nails done simply because I'm very picky with how I like my nails. I've read the reviews for this salon and decided to give it a shot. I called and scheduled and appointment for 2:45pm and when I came in was immediately sat down for my appointment which was reliving because most places I end up waiting still or get my appointments pushed back. I gave Lou a design I wanted and he was very patient with me since I was deciding between two different styles. I went with white and an ombré glitter nail on my ring fingers. And they look AMAZING!! He spent his time ensuring my nails were filed evenly, and even cut my cuticles for me as well. What I love the most about this shop is they do NOT cheap you out on your coats. All my nails are evenly coated, no air bubbles, no streaks. And my glitter ombré is perfect. I've had ombré before and I've had issues in the past but he took his time on both hands to ensure they were evened out and matching. Overall I am very satisfied with this salon and have made it my go to for when I need my next refill, they also do stamp cards! When you fill it up you get a spa pedicure which I think is super cool! It's a very clean salon with friendly and helpful staff! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice set of nails with good quality and GOOD PRICES. I went in for a fill with gel and it only coasted $27!! Way to go Lou! You've won me over and made me a permanent client! I will be back in 2 weeks read more

Everyone here is so warm and friendly! I was visiting my sister in SoCal and this is her go to spot. There were 10 pedicure chairs and although it was busy we waited for less than 5 minutes to be seated. They also have a little water bottle at each chair for their guests. My nail tech was Linda. Very kind and did not rush through the pedicure (something very important to me). We got the #2 pedicure option which included a 10 min massage, paraffin treatment, hot towel, exfoliating scrub.. I think that's it. Only $29! Great deal. My sis is moving back up in 2 weeks and we'll probably be coming back to support their business before we leave. read more

I messaged them through yelp to make an appointment with John or Lynn and they responded very quickly. When I went in, John was my nail technician. He did a great job with my acrylic nails! I showed him pictures of what I wanted and he got the shape perfect and made sure every step of the way that I was satisfied with the shape and the color. He even added adorable flowers on my accent nails. He was very gentle with me and took his time to make my nails perfect. The price was pretty good too. For my first time there, it was $35 for the acrylics and $5 more for the flowers accent. The only thing I didn't like was that when he was filing my nails down, he filed the side of one nail down a bit too much so my real nail was splitting a bit from my finger. I didn't realize this until he was rubbing my fingers with oil at the very end and my finger started to sting. This healed within a week - but it was a little painful. Other than that, he did a wonderful job and I would definitely come back. read more

I came here for the good reviews on Yelp. The younger guy that did my nails was rushing to finish my nails, and I've never had a worse gel manicure done. It looks awful. And when he was finished he was sitting and playing on his phone. Not very good service. He should have used 5 more minutes and cleaned up his job. One of the girls that was there was on the phone with t mobile the whole time for some personal issues. Totally annoying to listen too. Maybe she could that phone call in private, so her whole salon doesn't have to listen to her phone issues. My pedicure was okay, but all in all my experience was not good. I am definitely never coming back. read more

I usually go to a nail salon across the street but my nail salon was fully booked and I decided to walk into this place with my sister. We accidently found it while ordering food at Philly ' s Best. The place is clean and we were welcomed by one of the workers. I asked if they had time for 2 pedicures and 2 gel manicures. They looked busy and I thought we would had been turned away since we don't have an appointment. However they said yes and that it would be a few minutes until someone can get to us. They seated us in the spa chair and offer us refreshments. While we were there we listened in to the conversation and they mostly spoke English which was nice. If they were speaking another language it was short and brief. When they finally got to us I had already picked out my gel colors and was nervous based on a recently review that the gel chipped. But I was leaving for Europe and needed my nails done. The work was fantastic. They did my almond shaped nails with gel and it lasted 3 weeks! I was more than happy to return again with my sister for a second time. The second time we were in there they already knew our names and gave us the same courtesy they did before. I love my nails and I have uploaded some photos. I would highly recommend. Friendly, professional and clean! Price is in line with the salons in the surrounding area. Do a gel manicure or acrylic set....you won't regret it. read more

KC nails is by far the best nail salon in the Placentia, Yorba Linda, Fullerton area! I've tried so many salons over the past 20 years of living here and have always been disappointed. The salons always start off being ok but It never lasts long. Lynn, John and Tina have been taking care of my daughter and I with quality, consistency and the friendliness all the other salons have lacked. I highly recommend KC nails to anyone looking for any nail services! read more

I've been going to KC Nails for the last year and a half pretty often and I went today and had a wonderful experience! I asked for French ombré gel nails to which they let me know they could only be done with acrylic or dip powder. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and do the dip powder! John applied two fake tips and carefully worked on making sure they matched all my other nails. I was even brought a water when they noticed my cough acting up. Thank you KC Nails! My new set looks great! read more

Oh my god, $22.00 for a gel manicure? This blew my mind and it wasn't a cheap job, it's a real gel manicure. Insane. We walked in right when they were closing but we had no idea and they took us in anyway. Gel manicures are fairly fast and they did a good job on the manicuring part of the nails meaning no over eager cuticle cutting that can resort to blood. They have really pretty options for gels, I got a pretty lavender and my best friend got an upbeat teal. This place was really nice and I can't believe it was only $22.00. I'd come back! read more

I am usually very loyal when it comes to these places but my last nail lady has screwed up my claws a few times too many so I had to look somewhere else. Thank the lawd for Yelp because I found John and KC Nail spa!! I asked for him because most of you guys recommended him and I can see why!! My nails look ah-maze-balls! He got the right color, right shape and although they're acrylic, they look real! He was careful and on point! Also the deluxe spa was $31 tonight instead of $36 - bit pricy but definitely worth it! They do an exfoliant, parafin treatment, hot towels and a 15 min long foot massage. You don't want no crusty feet! I'll definitely be back in 2 weeks!! read more

I waited until my second appointment to finally make this Yelp review! 7/7 came in for a gel manicure with Linda. Sweetest lady ever! Very relatable and likes to get to know her clients. I asked for a glitter teal polish and she made it happen. Nails lasted me 3 weeks and I got so many compliments! 7/28 came in again but made a Yelp appointment (they respond very quickly!) with the main boss - Lynn. She was easy to chat with and wasn't upset when I had to cancel an appointment last minute. I made it up by coming in another day. I had wanted rose gold glitter nails with this foil X, and she made it come true! She suggested not to add the foil since it comes off quicker so she drew it on instead and it still looks pretty! These people enjoy their jobs. They are all family and they treat you like family. They talk to you and get to know you and ask you how you are. They aren't fake and you can tell they aren't in it to be fake and ripe people off. I've gone to multiple nail shops where they charged me $50+ up and quality is terrible and their customer service sucks. Here, price is reasonable. I paid $30 for my rose gold glitter gels which if I walked into any other shop, would charge me $50+. I definitely love how friendly they are and they remember little details about you. Will be coming by in the future and I love how long my nails last and there are no chips! read more

Absolutely love this place! Since I moved last January I have been coming here, they are awesome at nails!

For my wedding I talked to the owner and asked her if I could reserve a time for me and my bridesmaids to come in and get all of our nails done together. She was more than happy to help set up a time for all of us and she even had our passion fruit juice from her tree and egg rolls! So so sweet and everyone loved their manicures and pedicures!

I had gone to a different nail salon earlier today which was a terrible mistake. They cut my skin, left powder under my nails, and my nails didn't even match. So I called KC Nails right after to see if they were free to fix my nails. Lynn had asked Ivy to fix them instead of putting on a whole new set of acrylics for me. But they had done such a bad job that she had to redo ALL my nails. Ivy did such a great job and made sure to watch out where the other salon had cut my skin. KC nails always takes great care of their customers and this time was no different. The whole store was welcoming & she made sure I left with a smile on my face. She told me that she would be happy if she was able to make my day. And that she did. What was I thinking trying to go to a different nail salon just because it's "a little closer to where I live". I will never go anywhere else other than KC nails. BEST NAIL PLACE AROUND! Thank you Ivy & everyone else at KC Nails, you definitely turned my day around! read more

I have long nails. I've been coming here a little less than a year and have always been happy that John took the time to replace the lifted acrylic instead of cutting off the nail and just gluing on a tip. Unfortunately, sine I've been coming here I've had more lifting and green mold on my nails than ever before. No wait! I've never had green mold on several fingers!!! Friday the entire acrylic lifted off my thumb in a single piece leaving a naked thumb. I super glued it back on and hoped it would at least last til Halloween. Nope, today at work it came off again. I went in to have a tip put on ( did I mention I HATE tips). I mentioned that the acrylic is not sticking to my nails and I have a LOT of lifting when John explained that every few months I need my nails cut off and a new set of tips put on. So that's my trouble! Here I've gone 30 years getting my nails done without tips (unless absolutely necessary) and it seems my 30 year lucky streak is over. It is impossible to have long nails. Everyone has tips. (Sarcasm here). I have the tip, no paint, barely filed as I can do it myself and I still owe $3. I guess it was for the education that if I want my real nails and to keep them long like I've always worn them, I need to find a new shop. Thanks so much for the education! Gotta go file and paint my TIP now. read more

I absolutely love this place!! Working and living nearby also makes this hidden gem super convenient. I've had almost everyone there at least do my nails or pedicure at least once. And have yet to be disappointed. I'm always welcomed with warm smiles and just this burst of energy that is hardly found in most nail salons. I've been here for over a year and have not turned my head elsewhere. Both Ivy and Linh are usually my go-to's for my gel fills and designs and they always accommodate to my sometimes easy, sometimes a little more complex needs. I'm usually a walk-in customer but I have never waited more than 10-15 mins for my work to be done. About 99% of the time I'm usually seated immediately. I'm pretty particular about my nail shape and length but they do it perfectly without me asking. I can't get enough of this place and I don't plan on going any where else! read more

Good: they were quick to make availability so it's a good place if you just want to walk-in. Bad: some places (close by) offer a discount if you choose to not get a massage. Not this place. Same price regardless of whether you get a massage or not, even though it's less time. Massage for mani was under 2 min. They don't have a drying station so if they ask you to pay right after a mani, like they did to me, your color can smudge. They fixed it reluctantly but told me that I should pay before getting color. Fine by me but they didn't ask me earlier. Other places let you dry your nails at a drying station before asking you to pay. Limited choice if colors for regular mani-pedi. Lastly-poor quality finish. As you can see in the attached photo, my cuticles were not cleaned up before applying color, nor was the color removed from the cuticles after application. I was also grossed by the blue towel they used - had clippings from another mani/pedi. I just ignored it. It didn't come from my nails as I keep mine pretty short. Even the pedicurist commented on how short they were. You can see the attached photo of the debris leftover on my lap from the pillow they used. Should the health department visit this place? read more

LOLL i asked for simple gel removal and trim. As soon as i walked into the store, the smell of chemicals was so overwhelming. No ventilation at all. It took 40 minutes and three employees to create this artwork. Looks like I scraped my nails against the concrete AND got chewed on by an animal. I cant believe I PAID to get this done Response to the owner: Would YOU pay 5 dollars to get YOUR nails to end up like this? The price is completely irrelevant. read more
