I'm really upset about my nails. I normally come to KC Nails and always have a great nails when I leave. Today was different. The nail tech seemed she was in a rush and just wanted to finish. I then told her not to trim my nails as I like the shape that I had and she completely ignored me and trimmed them and I was super upset. She completely messed up my nails and gave me different shapes and I was extremely upset. Whatever anyways, I then asked her if I can see 2 colors on my nails and I would then decide which one I preferred as I was unsure and she kept pushing me to just pick one color and not 2. I told her 3 times and then she finally brought the colors. This is my finished result and I'm so bothered and frustrated by this. Look at my dry cuticles and now my nails all have different shapes. read more

Update! Was contacted by the owner after my previous review. She scheduled an appointment for me to go back and have my nails fixed. The gentleman, who sits at the first nail area with the tattoos, helped me. He was super nice and funny. He did my nails perfect. I am so happy! I forgot his name but I will definitely be going back to him in the future. He took his time and had me check out the nails before putting them in the dryer. Overall I am very happy! Thank you guys for fixing my nails for me!!! Went here on Friday during lunch to get a pedi and gel manicure all French tip. The girl who did my toes did a great job. She took her time and even checked to make sure I liked how thick the line was etc. I would love to give more stars because of her but I can't. The reason I'm writing this review is actually for the skinny guy who did my gel manicure. It started off good and normal but he was slow to do the nails and the French tip on my hands look wavy and uneven. I even asked him to go further down on the sides on a couple of my fingers and he didn't. I also asked him to clean up some of the smudged white tip that came off on my nails and he cleaned one. After an hour and twenty minutes I was just ready to go. There's also dents and some bubbles on the nails. Overall it was not worth the money I paid to have my gel done her read more

I really wanted to love this place because it's close to home and has good reviews, but my last experience left me not wanting to return. I paid extra for the deluxe pedicure, and my feet were scrubbed painfully raw. The cuticles on two of my toes were clipped so badly they bled and scabbed. Finally, every pedicure I have ever had has lasted a minimum of three weeks. Two days after I went, three of the nails had the polish peel completely off. It is now a week later and most of my toes have the polish peeled off, and I notice how badly shaped the nails were. I'm not sure of the name of who I saw, just that it was a man. Very poor experience. read more

I have been on the hunt for a local nail salon that consistently does a good job for mani/pedi. I believe I have finally found it! I had SNS from another salon when I went it. The previous nail tech had put way too much powder so they were thick and took forever to take off. It was suggested that I try the powder dip with gel on top. I loved the idea and went for it. They did not charge me to remove the previous SNS powder like nearly ever other salon does. Bonus points from me! I splurged with some extras on my pedicure since my manicure was taking extra time. Everything was very clean. The staff was super friendly and chatted with me while they did my nails. This also doesn't happen many other places. It was a few days before the 4th so I went with a cute patriotic theme. They also did not charge me an arm and leg for SNS. it was reasonably priced at $30. Fast forward to today. One of my nails broke and was looking raggedy. I went in to have it fixed. They did not charge me a cent and had it fixed up in under 5 minutes. Thanks you KC! I will definitely be back! read more

KC Nails is my second home that I've been going to twice a month for 15 years. They are all so wonderful and friendly, I love this salon! John is my go to for nails. Lately, I'm absolutely thrilled with Dip Powder! You soak the nails off to start, the nail beds are prepped, then the dipping begins. There are many colors to choose from, not as many as gel however, it's more than worth it for how long it last. With gel on my natural nail, I couldn't go very long before one would break. With Dip Powder, John has to actually shorten my nails so that I can type! The owner Lynn, tattooed my eyeliner and eyebrows a few years ago and more recently I had her micro blade my eyebrows and touch up my eyeliner. While it's not pain free it's so worth the time it saves in the morning getting ready for work. I've also had her wax my eyebrows. Lan gives the most amazing facials! The price is so reasonable that I'm able to get them more frequently. I come in with a dry, gritty face and leave with it hydrated and baby smooth. The room is warm, lighting is subdued and soft relaxing music is playing. My pedicures have been done by just about everyone at the salon. While the massage is different depending on the technician, the steps are consistent. If you are looking for a dependable, consistent, warm and friendly, second home salon, this is the place for you. Thank you Lynn, John, Lan and the rest of my salon family! read more

I found this salon about a year ago and I am so happy that I did! I normally come in for a gel manicure and pedicure and I've had many different technicians help me. Every single one has been a perfectionist with their work. They double check with you to make sure you like the shape of your nails and the color and are quick to fix something if you aren't happy with it. Prices are very fair for the great work that they produce. I've never made an appointment and they've always accommodated me, but be warned they are a busy shop. More recently I've been branching out from my solid gel color to do some different designs. Every picture I've shown them they have either tried to replicate exactly or been honest with me and told me that it's not a color/product they carry. I would much rather my salon be honest with me than try to replicate something that they can't do just to get my money. I chipped my most recent gel manicure after a day (completely my fault) and needed to get it fixed. I went in today, on Christmas Eve, and was immediately helped. They fixed my nail and re-did the design at no cost! I am so blown away by their professionalism and how nice the staff always is. I will be coming back for a long time! read more

Walked in here without an appointment. Saw many positive reviews for Lynn for manicure, and wanted to try to get her to do my nails. I guess she wasn't there because they sent me up with Linda, and I was a little nervous because I can get pretty picky with my nails. Linda did an amazing job, listened to all my concerns, and did my nails exactly how I like it. I also got a pedicure (with Mindy?) the polish was a little thick, and after I left, it was smudged, so I had to come right back to ask them to fix it. While I was there, the first time, Lynn stopped by the shop, I learned that she's the manager. She ended up fixing my pedicure polish for me. Everyone here is super sweet. I'm not from the area and usually have my own nail ladies that I religiously patron, but since I've been down in this area more, I'm trying to find a new place to get my mani pedi. I will definitely come back here again! read more

Nancy has been my nail tech for almost a year now. She is so sweet and always willing to do my nails exactly how I want them done. I enjoy my time there because I know I am going to get my nails done right and the people there are always friendly. I get the gel dip now and my only regret was not doing it sooner. The gel dip works for 2-3 weeks. read more

My first visit after they shut down from the pandemic. By appointment only to keep safe distancing they have dividers up when they do pedicures everyone wears masks sanitize hands before you sit down. They make you feel safe to be there and cleaning supplies everywhere. Thank you Lynn and Lu for always taking care of my nails and lashes they're wonderful I missed you all. The work and loyalty you have to your customers are excellent. I recommend getting them done here they take good care of you. read more

I'm not from the area and recently moved here so I was in need of a new nail spot. A coworker told me about KC Nails after I complimented her on her full set, and everything she said about them was true :) I've been to KC Nail three times now and have yet to be disappointed by any of the employees there. I also made an appointment the last time I went on yelp around 8pm and still received immediate responses from the owner confirming my appointment even though the location was closed for the day! Prices are so good and the quality was even better. They accept cash, card, and Venmo! I truly recommend checking them out :) read more

Best service. Lou is a great mail artist. My nails are beautiful! He took the time to hear what I wanted and gave me the best gel manicure.

I absolutely love going here because they are so friendly and welcoming. The entire staff makes me feel good every time I go in to get a fill or pedicure! John is amazing and always does exactly what I have in mind (no matter how annoying it is). I just went in to get a new set of nails just in time for Halloween, and I'm IN LOVE! You won't regret giving them your time! read more

I have been going to KC Nails for about 3 months now. I have gotten my nails done by a few different people and alll were great! The first time was on Chinese New Year, (which is a holiday they celebrate) and i arrived about 30 minutes before closing. They did a full set and didn't rush threw it, they even stayed after closing to make sure I got exactly what i wanted. They truely care about the customer here! Most recently I got my nails done by Lu. I told him what I wanted and he did not disappoint! I love love love my ombré nails!!! If you are looking for a nail place to go, this is the place. They have so many options for you to choose from- gel colors, regular colors, dip nails, acrylic, designs on nails, and also have great pedicure packages with different options.

So I came to KC Nails after reading all of the great reviews on here, but I'm extremely disappointed in the outcome of my nails. The ladies here are really nice but they don't seem to understand your needs?? I showed them a reference picture online, and while I understand the final design doesn't always come out exactly the same, mine are a far cry from the original. Not only are the colors off, my nails were filed improperly and they actually came out lumpy... even though it's gel... Maybe if you don't go off references and stick with super safe one color manicures it'll be okay... but I wouldn't risk it read more

Called in after finding on yelp. Was told I could come in and they would be able to take me for a gel mani/pedi. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked if I had called for the gel mani/pedi. I said yes, and one of the ladies told me the gel colors were in front of me she put them out for me. Tina & Lily were at the pedi chair waiting for me. Tina - did my pedicure. I didn't decide which package I was getting until she was already doing my pedicure, and because of how patient she was with me and nice I went with the biggest mani and pedi package. She really took her time and asked me how things were during the pedicure to make sure I was enjoying it. Lily - I explained how I have been having a time transitioning from pink and white nails back to gel polish only for my natural nails. She took her time to make sure I was happy with the shape and how thick the polish was. She also asked me during the manicure how things were and to make sure i was okay. Definitely one of the best pedicures and manicures I've had in a while. And the prices are very good. read more

Just had my third visit and my first set of acrylics EVER - every time I come I'm greeted very warmly, seated immediately and receive excellent service from the truly lovely staff! Today Tina gave me a perfect gel pedicure, she was so sweet and paid attention to every detail. Nancy fave me a full set and I was giddy by how wonderful it came out! She's so much fun to chat with and she really took her time on my nails which I greatly appreciate! Will absolutely be coming back regularly! read more

I visited KC Nails for the first time last Sunday and it was so amazing. Lynn did my gel manicure which was perfect and still looks brand new. My nails look natural and the gel was spread evenly and thinly over my nails. I am beyond happy with the results. Lan did my pedicure and she was AMAZING. The massage was the best I've ever gotten and she was so sweet. I highly recommend KC nails for their quality service and reasonable pric read more

Love this nail place so much and it never disappoints - from manicures to pedicures and eyebrow waxing, they always pay attention to all the little details and do their very best to make you feel comfortable and make sure you are satisfied. Thank you so much to Lynn who perfectly replicated the nails i wanted and made it a dream come true. read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for a staple pedicure salon that would be my 'go to.' After reading the great reviews on Yelp!, I tried it out and have been coming ever since. Ask for Lan - she's amazing and so sweet - very detailed and thorough. I believe they have 3 levels of pedicures - regular, Royal Pedicure, and one more. The Royal Pedicure is about the same price as you would get a regular pedicure elsewhere - so I normally opt for that and love it. Whenever I make an appointment, I'm always counting the hours / minutes down because it's so enjoyable to be there. I've never felt that way before about getting my nails done. For those who are pregnant, I would caution that sometimes when the salon is busy - the chemical smell can be really overwhelming so try to come during quieter times. By the end of my last appointment, I was starting to get faint / dizzy and may hold off on coming back until after my pregnancy is over. read more

This is the best nail place in the Fullerton/Placentia area, and trust me I've tried them all. I always leave this place happy. That being said today was a little hard because I had a guy nail tech, I didn't catch his name, who I asked if he could do a gel ombré French nail. He said yes. Everything was fine until the last round when I noticed the "ombré" was just a spotty white 3/4 of the nail. It looked pretty terrible. I tried asking if he could fix it with more solid white on the bottom, to which he replied "no, cannot." Excuse me?! First off, I'm never one to really complain about something unless it's really bad. So another tech came and asked me if I liked it, to which I said NO. Lynn then came by and made him take them all off and she redid them herself. They were absolutely beautiful (and what I originally wanted). She told him to finish it up and give me the hand massage - BUT he just wiped my hands off with a towel and sent me off. No hard feelings right? Lol. And I still tipped this guy Besides that, I still love all the ladies at this place who do a wonderful job! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Wow. First of all I couldn't even get my nails done and no one wanted to help me. They took 2 people that came after me, with no appointment, before me. Okay? Secondly, my sister wanted a new set and they gave her play dough looking nails. They're clearly uneven and actually worse than they were before we came (and two of her acrylics were broken). Never again. Sorry, hun. read more

I've definitely been to many nail salons - good and bad... and of course some that are a hit or miss. KC Nails & Spa definitely has good service and the camaraderie between the nail techs is nice. I came here for dip power nails because that's my new go to. Lily helped me out - she has such a sweet attitude and was really nice. The one thing I didn't like (and why I gave 4 stars) is because she drilled off some of my previous dip powder with the metal drill. I hate metal drills and prefer the rubber ones. I know most places use metal, but my old salon used rubber. The metal gets hot and hurts my nail beds and burns. I did tell her that and she tried to be as gentle as possible. I also warned her that I have very sensitive cuticles and she did a good job being gentle. She brought me the books to choose my color and I did a dip powder + gel combo basically. The end result was really nice and she made it thinner so it wasn't so thick. Good job and I may come back... the metal drills really got me worried though, but that's a personal preference thing. read more

I called 5 different places at 2 pm & everyone was booked. This was the last place I called & they said they had an opening. I booked 2 spa pedicures for me & my boyfriend for a date. We showed up at 2:15. They were very friendly & respected social distancing. She sanitized our seats in front of us & had a glass barrier as well from other clients. We asked for water to be adjusted & they were kind enough to do it. Kind tiny women with cute flower collar then proceeded to start with my toes 10/15 minutes later another woman came & proceeded to do my mama toes. Everything went great. We both received a "royal pedicure" & were very satisfied. I would give 5 stars honestly.. but when we got home I touched my mans feet and he still had some calluses on both heels of the feet. We probably had the same amount of buildup. With that being said, I just wish all his came off. Not sure if it was the product or the technician. Other than that, we had a lovely experience. We would definitely recommend & come back! Also, I was nervous t come bc of the reviews. But everyone was friendly! read more

I always go to Nancy whenever I want my nails done! She never disappoints and she's been doing my nails for as long as I can remember. I mainly get dip powder and her work is never done cheaply. I get compliments every time I get a new set from friends, coworkers, and strangers! My sets ALWAYS last 3-4 weeks and they've helped my real nails grow long and strong! Everyone is always impressed by them. If you want your nails done, I would highly recommend having Nancy do them! Always super cute and well done! I love my nails so much and I love that they last a long time. I noticed that there's never much lifting either when they grow out which is nice! I attached some of the pictures I managed to get, but she does a variety! I was unable to get a picture, but my last set was a pink ombré and it was the cutest! Highly recommend!!! read more
