    Jessica's work on white and pink ombré
    Rocky S.

    My experience started slow to getting the type of acrylic nails I wanted. I was looking for ombré white and pink. I went through 3 tech's. I think it was more the communication and skill of the previous tech's. Once I was able to express what I wanted I was given a new tech named Jessica. She is only available on Sunday's. She is amazing! I'm happy that I was patient and through it all no discounts even I was not happy. It's ok I finally got there. Hence the 4 stars. $55 full set $45 fill (I think) Pedicures are nice.

    Nancy at KC nails is amazing and has done my nails for over 10 years

    KC Nails is the best Nancy has been doing my nails for over 10 years!!! Annie the owner is amazing it's clean and very organized... never have had to wait for my apartment like other salons in the area.

    What I wanted (but shorter w/no solid color nail)

    VERY please with my first visit :) Sarah did my nails and she was very thorough and personable. The receptionist was very sweet and helpful - she found a softer sage-colored green that I actually wanted but didn't even have to ask for. Somehow she just knew I showed Sarah what I wanted and she did amazing! I will be back! 1st picture is what I asked for, last 2 are what I got :) The small cut on my cuticle was from the bedroom door at home about a week ago ‍

    I took my daughter here tonight for a fill. And was told they were too old and that she had to get a full set even though they were not too old and they even struggled to get off the acrylic off because the previous nails were so strong. She wanted coffin nails which is an extra charge they are not coffin shape. Much too short than desired. She had a beautiful shape and length before and simply one of them filled. Also the acrylic wasn't even put on the entire nail. Super disappointed and my daughter is devastated.

    Yellow part is ground out. Nail is too thin.

    New employee left me bleeding and with the poorest gel fill and pedicure EVER!! Never going back. Prior to the staffing change I had been very pleased.

    Intricate dip nail set design, three different gel colors.

    This morning Nancy did my whole dip set in a 1 hr + 30 min, knowing how difficult the design i picked was Nancy did a phenomenal job designing exactly how i asked. Though they are pretty booked out, this nail salon is the most outstanding salon with the best nail techs in grass valley, they are all super friendly and talented. Receptionist is sweet and helps figure out my appts up to date. Will never stop coming here to get my nails done!!!

    Love this place, love the job they did. They did really well to stop the spread. After every costumer they spray and clean the chair and table. Feel safe when I am in there.

    Picture on left is their instagram and you can see how nice and detailed it is but mine is very minimal. Sad with it especially for price

    Got a gel pedicure and picked a picture of a flower on the toe from their Instagram, the man (think his name is Bill) didn't know how to do it and seemed pretty confused. A lady came over and did it for him. Thats fine. But it was phoned in, Definitely didn't have the nice details that the picture from their instagram did Then for my manicure, I brought over 4 pastel colors I showed him a picture of a French manicure done in pastel tips. I told him not to cut my nails too short. My thumb nails are beyond short after this manicure. I Had short nails anyways, but the skin that is normally under my nail is showing, like the lip of skin that holds the nail is out on both thumbs. And it hurts. I've never had anyone cut them that short. Well every time he put the light on my hands he would hit my nails, so obviously this would mess them up. He'd see them after and told me I had to be careful but I told him it was when he was doing the light. But he seemed extremely rushed and he kept doing this. Then I started noticing he was only painting my fingers one color, this was pointed out to him by my friend and she showed him the picture again and he sat back so confused. So my friend explained it several times I just wanted a French manicure with these pastel colors on the tips. Well at this point he was pretty flustered. He got nail polish on my hands a lot, knocked over the polish and then he began to cut the skin to take off the excess polish. I flinched because he hurt me twice. He got way too deep into my skin. My pinky where he did this is swollen this morning (day after manicure) And he had an extremely hard time making a simple white daisy like flower on my fingers, it's pretty sloppy. When I went to go pay with my card he kept telling me next time you bring cash. Next time bring cash. Ugh. Sorry there won't be a next time for me. At least my friend had a good experience and all the other people there seemed to be happy with the ladies working on them but Bill seemed confused, flustered and hurried and it made a day that I only can afford once in a great while uncomfortable and now I'm in pain pictures are of my swollen pinky on the side and how short my thumb nails are. Toes are good. I didn't think it was that complicated of designs but apparently it was. So so disappointed with the experience.

    Gel ombré full set $65 NOT $40 this is BS

    Over priced the lady changed the price from $40 to $65 due to the shape of the nail and the color it took almost 2 hours I will never go back to this place

    "Falloween" nails

    Great experience @ KC Nails. I called on a Friday morning and was able to get in that afternoon. I had a specific design in mind for my gel nails, and they were totally willing and able to do it! Reasonably priced, clean and friendly staff.

    Zoom in to see the cut on my thumb.
    Nadiyah S.

    Really really wanted to like this place and after my second visit there in 5 weeks I won't be returning. I had a very nice older lady as my nail tech today and I went in for a regular mani/pedi. The pedicure was fantastic, the manicure is where it all begins to fall apart. The nail tech cut my thumb after I requested that she not remove my cuticles at the base of my nail. Also, she barely left me with any skin around nails. Once it came time to paint my nails, the final product speaks for itself. The photos hardly do it any justice. It's just bad. I tipped her $10 just because at the same time I also pointed out to her a few of the many flaws with my pedicure.

    Nancy is the only girl I will let touch my nails. She does a phenomenal job every time. Everyone in the shop is very kind and considerate. I would highly recommend to anyone. (Dip with gel design done here)

    In my 11 years on Yelp, this is my first time reviewing a business I didn't even try yet but this…read moreneeds to be said: Extremely poor customer service. I attempted to find this location while on a break from the hospital, but my GPS was lagging. When I called for help with directions, the person on the phone (maybe the owner idk) was incredibly dismissive. Despite their hours saying 'Open,' she told me she was on a 1.5-hour lunch break. When I tried to clarify the location, she told me she 'never had anyone have this issue' and asked if I was even from here. She eventually hung up on me. In a small town, you'd expect basic kindness, but I was treated like an inconvenience. I decided to take my business elsewhere.

    STEER CLEAR OF LINDA YOU'VE BEEN WARNED…read more I wish I could leave zero or negative stars. 1 star is way too high for this "salon". Linda is crazy, rude, unprofessional, and downright senile! I called her on 12/28 asking if she did dip or hard gel. She said she doesn't do dip because it's bad for your nails but she does do hard gel. I asked her how much and she said $35-40. The only reason I went to her is because of the price she offered me. I wrote it down in my notes and told her great I'd like to book an appointment for the next day. She was very talkative on the phone but I thought she was just overly friendly. I should have known better. She told me to call her when I got to the parking lot. I get to the parking lot and call her and she doesn't answer so I find my way up. I get to her suite and she immediately starts talking down to me about how nobody listens anymore do they. I said that I did call you when I got here. She checked her phone and it was on do not disturb. I felt odd about her speaking to me like that but at this point I had a babysitter at home, was already there and she had offered me a good price so I just went along with the appointment. She took about 20 minutes to start my appointment talking in circles about her goodwill finds, drawing me a diagram about hair follicle growth (like how is this even relevant to nails?) and saying that my nails made her stomach sick. She finally started the appointment and would stop and go on tangents every 5 minutes. She was extremely irritating to be around let alone have a service done by when you're on a time crunch and 37 weeks pregnant with two toddlers at home. She made many racist remarks against Vietnamese nail salon workers and comparing curly hair to "hair of people of color" (direct quote). It finally comes time to pay and I confirmed if it was going to be $35 or $40 and she started losing it on me, berating me, calling me a jumper and telling me to get out of there if I didn't pay her pricing. I told her that we spoke the day before and she had quoted me $35-40 for hard gel so why was she changing it now? She denied ever saying that and said she even added extra services (which she didn't) and the price was $60. She told me to either not pay and leave and don't leave her a bad review and never go back to her again or pay her pricing. I wasn't going to leave there without paying while she was legitimately having a mental breakdown or something so I paid the $60, did NOT add any tip and left. Again, being 37 weeks pregnant and having active contractions I just wanted to go somewhere and have a relaxing time while getting my nails done but instead got hustled, berated, talked down to, criticized and insulted. I even left my really nice brumate water jug there and don't even want to deal with this psycho lady to go back and get it. The manicure itself was pretty bad. The hard gel she cured is uneven and lumpy in many spots and she had no pink nude colors to put on top so it doesn't even look like I got my nails done. This was just the worst nail salon experience of my life and I am definitely taking this up with American Express because to pay $60 to be mistreated in such a way with a shitty manicure will never sit right with me. I'm attaching photos of my nails the very next day, the hard gel is already lifting in certain places and the shaping and paint job look like my 3 year old son did it. Another poor girl called her in the middle of my appointment to book a same day full set with her and linda was so rude to her too. I hope she didn't book. I have no idea who this lady thinks she is but she belongs in a mental institution, not running a business. I have no idea how she thinks she can talk to and treat people like this. I am definitely going to try to call the cosmetology board and have this lady reported and looked into. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ABSOLUTE TORTURE THIS LADY IS. Also, her "salon" is a small cramped room in a weird building, not comfortable or relaxing to be in at all. Just DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE.

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, coupled with unacceptable quality of work. I originally booked with my regular technician, but since he was unavailable, the owner himself performed my service instead. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. Throughout the appointment, the owner was ARROGANT, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for obvious mistakes. Every concern I raised was met with an excuse. When I pointed out that my nails were not filed straight, I was told it was because my nails do not grow straight. When the polish was applied unevenly, I was told it was due to my nail texture. When I mentioned that the polish appeared old and sticky, he became defensive, even though he had just ADDED THINNER to the bottle in front of me, and ultimately transferred me to another technician rather than addressing the issue professionally. The photos clearly show bubbles and an uneven finish. These are application issues, not the result of my nail texture. As a paying customer, I should not have to argue over obvious quality concerns or be blamed for substandard work. After this experience, the other negative reviews make perfect sense. If this is how the owner treats long-time customers and handles legitimate feedback, I cannot recommend this salon. There are far better places that value their customers and stand behind the quality of their work.
