Yeahh noo ... I was trying to be nice but I hate them ... sloppy work. Dirty equipment... the lady working on my feet was working on another lady's feet ... who told she had a fungus on her foot !!!!... tech continued to use the previous lady file and clippers on me ... I said something and then she changed it but she had already started. ... I was completely in mind blown... yes please try something else. ... completely horrified. Sat there for two hours read more

Kd Nails & Tanning - Yeah nooo dirty equipment and sloppy work. ... - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Had a terrible experience. I went in for a gel manicure, and the quality of service was well below one star. The polish was sloppy and applied carelessly, with nail polish all over my skin. read more

Awful experience. The 2 ladies working were very rough with everyone in our group and the pedicure consisted of a short basic leg massage. The polish job was atrocious. My niece requested a very basic wave design and they didn't tell us they couldn't do it until after they started painting her nails. We will not be going back. Avoid this place at all costs. Bad vibes all around. The workers seemed angry. read more

Kd Nails & Tanning - My daughter's toe nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

this place is such a joke. come in for a pedicure, the lady does a below average job and charges $52. I'm from California, literally the most expensive state, and a gel pedicure is no more than $33 there. These people are ripping their customers off for shitty quality job. Literally zero stars if i could. They must owe someone some money because $52 for a pedicure is insane. Do not come here or you'll end up wasting your time and money for low quality nails. read more

I think kids must work here. My daughter's nails are jacked up and they couldn't even put a simple wave design on one nail. She is also complaining of raw skin from where they filed her skin. How has this place still in business? read more

Easily the worst experience I've had at a nail salon. The attendant was rough with me and dried out my fingers with overuse of polish remover since she kept painting on my skin. My acrylics are uneven and terribly shaped with one of the worst paint jobs i've ever seen. I kept trying to pull my hand back to check how my nails were looking through the process and she would aggressively grab my hand and say no. Avoid this place at all costs. It was a waste of money. read more

Walk-ins welcome they advertise. Worst decision I've ever made. Could've done a better job myself, even with arthritis and poor eyesight. I'm left with a butchered nail, and the other nine have rough edges of mismatched lengths. The filers used were despicable. Looked like they came out of the trash. Good thing it's winter so I can hide inside gloves. read more

I can't even put one star but these people are horrible this was the worst full set. I ever got I don't recommend AT ALL (don't go)

Terrible place. Idk how they're still open. I got my nails done on a friday by monday they were lifting. I went to tell them and they just glued it . Then I went back the following day and she "fixed it". I told her that wasn't the same polish that I had and she literally argued with me as if Im stupid. Never again. read more

I should've read the reviews before I came here. Every single review that is negative is 100% correct. This place is the PITS. I was so disappointed with my pedi that I left without even having my manicure as scheduled. Luckily I was able to get a same day appointment at another place. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I used the tanning beds. these people are rude. They scream at the customers. I'm not sure how they stay in business . Horrible place .

zero stars was not an option..... worst manicure I've ever received. Tech was rough and end result was terrible. Straight away to another salon to get this mess fixed!!! read more

By far the worst manicure and pedicure EVER. I went in getting a gel manicure, the lady pushed a pedicure onto my service which is fine. But both the services were below sub par. My pedicure was nonchalantly and quickly done. Both gel manicure and pedicure were on my skin, it's like they couldn't color inside the lines. The lady said she's not cutting the cuticles bc you'll get hang nails. I told her I do want them cut bc my manicure lasts longer. She did not do them. She did not file my nails professionally, only a couple swipes of on each finger, leaving my nails jagged and unshaped. Each time she put a layer of polish on, she wiped the polish off of my skin but also wiped off part of the polish on the actual nail. Yet there is still nail polish everywhere on my skin. Absolutely not coming back. I advise everyone not to either. read more

I don't ever leave reviews. However, I feel that I must in case there's another person like me out there. I totally missed the reviews on this place. I had left my phone in the hospital. Well, all the reviews are true! I only give it one star because the $10 eyebrow wax was actually good! Albeit, I had them filled in and the younger woman just cleaned up around it. She did try to get in a lip wax too, but I declined. The $30 pedicure was mediocre to say the least. I asked for a pedicure as soon as I walked in and the ladies had me write my name on the list....but there was NO wait. No one was in there and it was lunchtime. Anyhow, she pointed to the wall of polish and told me to choose my color. I walked over to the gel polish wall and was stopped by the older lady (who did my pedi) because they don't do gel pedicures. Why not?? The regular-polish pedicure lasted 13 mins. The first three minutes consisted in her removing my gel polish with the drill ($5). She wet my feet, buffed my drilled nails, quickly rubbed some lotion on my legs, drenched my toes in acetone, sloppily polished, and called it a day. You can clearly see I needed my cuticles worked on and the top coat is only on 3/4 of the way smh. read more

Do NOT GO HERE! When I went in I told her I only wanted to fix a few toes and get a fill in and my daughter wanted her toes and nails with a design the woman interrupted me and asked ok so what you want tell me now toes and nails for her and toes and nails for you?! Ok write that down & pick your colors .. she got us both a pedicure chair ready. She finished with another lady then comes over and starts to try and remove the gel with nail polish remover I told her it's gel she said oh ok come over here... to the nail station to take off the gel.. I stick my foot under the desk I couldn't tell that she was taking the gel off all the toes then when I did realize I figured she had to redo them all to match how short the broken one was.. then she did my other foot still confused I let her continue.. we got back to the pedicure chair and I thought she would finish taking off the old gel polish no off to the base coat we go.. a sloppy base coat at that then straight to the polish then she walked me back to the nail chair while she started my acrylic and they dried my gel toes with a fan when I got up to wash my hands I looked down at my toes she hurried me back to the chair by saying no your toes are good I said no they aren't she said I'll fix it for you ill do your nails the same color (they are not) when she was doing my nails I started paying attention to the shape as she was not she said don't worry I still have to fix your shape one more time (she never asked if I was okay with the shape) then we were doing paint to cut the shape she used the oldest acrylic brush she had thats bristles we're all going a different way.. I thought it was looking good until I looked when she put the top coat.. then it all hits me my nails are fucked up my toes are fucked up I look at my daughters nails and toes they are messed up too I told them the top coat isn't all the way on her toes there is polish all on her skin they bring her over to fix them (all they did is put another coat on ) I tell them my toes are messed up we need to start over she tells me just to let them dry more.. I let them dry more and I say I'm not paying for the toes they are messed up they say ok I'll take off 8 for you I did a whole pedicure! I said I didn't want one she said I took off the gel for you I said no you didn't I said I'll pay $100 for both I'm not happy this isn't quality job she said I will take it off for you and you paint it I said it looks like I did paint it!! She said ok I'll take it off for you and paint it I interrupted her and said no because you will charge me again! She said $140 I told her my nails were messed up the shape looks like they are running this way she started laughing!!! I said you think it is funny? I don't get it! I got up and walked toward the counter to give $100 and the lady blocked the exit!!!! I had my daughter with me I was in tears with this woman I told her if she came to my business I would want her to leave happy she said ok only $30 more so I paid $130 to leave unhappy with everything then I come home and realize both our nails and toes are two different colors!!! read more

Kd Nails & Tanning - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SALON! If I could rate less than one star, I would. Worst pedicure ever! Two sisters work in the salon. Sister rushed through the pedicure (15 minutes), leaving out many steps and the polish application was horrific (like a two year old applied). Never had a spa pedicure with no massage or cuticle care or buffing of nails or scrubbing of feet. I paid $30 for this mess. Never again! Overall, the salon is very dirty. Roaches crawling around on the floor, flies flying around, they do not use the AC, so stuffy and obnoxious smell of incense. Don't know how they stay in business. Sanitation and hygienic practices are extremely questionable. read more

This is unequivocally the worst nail salon experience I have ever had. I asked for a gel manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was extremely sloppy, to start. When I got my gel nails, it was so sloppy I kept asking for corrections because she flooded the nail bed. AFTER IT HAD ALREADY CURED, the nails looked so bad, I asked for it to be removed. The technician used a sander to remove the polish, and she was so rough, she nearly broke EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY NAILS. read more

Yep! The reviews are spot on. Worst and quickest manicure ever. My manicure took 17 minutes. No lie. In and out. Poor quality. If you are assigned the older lady, run! She clips and polishes and that's it. She didn't even file my nails. Absolutely terrible job! read more

I have been going here for 7yrs I get my eyebrows done nails feet and I also tan. It's always clean and I'm always happy with my service

(I thought I reviewed this a week or so ago ... hmmm) I haven't ever given such a poor review but my experience here was Awful! We travel A Lot & I have been to many many nail salons ... This is the worst ever for me. We were staying at the Courtyard & this was a short walk away. It appeared fairly nice & clean. The girls weren't overly friendly but I Needed a pedi & a fill in a bad way ... so I stayed. My first complaint is that they only offer One pedicure. (That I found very strange ... who in their right mind doesn't want to up sell a service?!) I had just driven 1600 miles & was in the mood for a good pampering. You will not find that service here! It was the fastest, sloppiest, least enjoyable pedi ever. The gal was too busy talking to another gal (owner maybe?) & two kids that she wasn't paying any attention to what she was doing. I got a quick clip & wash followed by lotion being applied & quickly wiped back off with a towel ... not rubbed in at all. Then she slapped polish on so fast that it was literally everywhere. Nothing close to anything I've ever experienced. The fill followed ... it was equally as horrific. I had acrylic everywhere but little (to none in spots) where it was supposed to be. Twice I requested she fix it. After that I was just ready to be done. At least my fingers matched my toes I guess ... polish everywhere! What a horrible experience. I ALWAYS tip & usually quite well. No tip here though. Beware of shoddy work if you decide to try this salon! =( read more

Just awful. Never ever go there They don't know how to do mani. I can do it better, seriously. Everything just totally bad!!! read more

Worst mani ever! They did not get my old color off, but she insisted she couldn't see it.

I wish I could give this zero stars. Absolutely terrible. It was super painful, she used a cuticle cutter on my toe nails and there is polish all over the skin. A toddler could have done better. I question if she even has a Valid license I would give this zero stars if I could. Stay far away. read more

I went to this salon despite the reviews because I needed a gel fill in badly and the price ($25) sounded like a good deal. There were two women working in the salon and was told to pick a color and they would be with me shortly. They did not have a large selection of gel polish, but I found a color I liked and waited. The wait was 10 mins. When they used the electric file it hurt, but I could take it. After she had the fill in done, my nails looked rough. Even after she buffed them I was concerned. After the polish was applied, my nails look lovely. I had an eyebrow and lip wax done which look great. I would come back. read more

My normal place was closed and because I really needed a fill in and it was my only day I would have time, I decided to try these fucks again( went once about a year ago). Anyway, long story short, the lady sliced thru my nail with the electric tool as they shooed away another customer ... it has taken nearly three months for my nail to heal. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! read more

I'm really irritated. My pedicure was short and painful. Then I got a gel set. She cut my finger and none of my nails are the same length. The edges are rough and the polish is uneven. $40 is cheap for a pedicure and a gel set but I'd rather pay $30 more and my nails be good. read more

Kd Nails & Tanning - Nail Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I sure wish I would have checked the reviews. This place was awful. She rushed through the entire pedicure, minimal massage and did not do the typical things that are done during a pedicure. She had a smile on her face the whole time which I didn't understand because she must know that she is cheating the client. I I'm so surprised this place is still doing business. I asked her why there was no one here and she said that the morning was really busy but I don't think that was the case. read more

Horrible Pedicure, THEY DO NOT FOLLOW SANITATION LAWS!! This place is terrible. The lady had the gentle touch of an angry grizzly bear. She never spoke to me the entire time. The other lady was on Skype on her computer talking nonstop very loudly for the entire 20 minutes I was being tortured. She left my nails uneven and misshapen. No massage was performed. When finished she drained the tub and handed me my socks. No towel to dry my feet first. She then used the same towel she had been wiping implements on to wipe out the tub, which she then sprayed with Dow Scrubbing Bubbles and immediately wiped out again. That was her sanitation job. I will never go back and you should never go there either unless you want to chance an infection. Tools were wiped and put away dirty. read more

WORST PLACE EVER!!! I got acrylics and they were disgusting! I had acrylic all over my fingers and my nails were not even done right, they were really thick and painful. I kept telling the lady to fix them but she said they looked fine. I am from California and I know what fine looks like, this place is a joke!!! read more

This is by far the worst nail service I have ever received. I wanted a color change on my gel nails.. Simple enough? No fill, just color change. No, the lady did not even realize that I had tips on. She did not completely get my color off my nails before she started applying a sloppy white tip to my nail. She didn't even wait for the white tip to dry before putting on a clear coat. The clear coat was rushed and sloppy. I have white nail polish all over my fingers, my nails are smudged, uneven white tips, and I have stuff all behind my nails from where she tried to file my tips. I proceeded to get yelled at saying that it was my fault because I had tips on.. Not natural nails. They wouldn't even give me my money back. Absolutely the worst place. Do not go here. read more

Horrible !!! Just horrible! I got a full set with gel powder. The nails were not straight and lumpy. They were not filled enough to look natural! It almost overlaid on to my cuticles! I asked for a refund and they were very rude about giving my money back! My boyfriend was standing next to me and said that he was unhappy with the way they looked and demanded the money back! The woman that actually did my nails wouldn't even look up at us. The woman other was also very rude, she grabbed a pair of fingernail clippers and just started clipping off my nails so aggressively! And she had other customers inside at the time! Once she finished clipping away she gave me my refund and I will never go back there! read more

STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, STAY AWAY!! Stopped in on a Sunday because it was open and I didn't want to deal with the post holiday crowd at the mall. My story is similar. Feet soaked for a couple of minutes, then she went to chopping away. Barely scrubbed my feet. Slapped some lotion on my legs and then applied the nail polish. Took about 15 minutes. Didn't know how bad it was until I stepped outside into the natural light. She cut my nails to short and at a jagged angle. I'll be surprised if I don't end up with an infection or ingrown nail. The polish...well, my 6 year old niece could have done a better job. It was messy, lumpy, and covered the cuticles. I rushed home to try and fixed the hot mess. I was livid! I don't know how they stay in business. Maybe they make their money off of a bunch of first time customers. WORST PEDICURE EVER!! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. THEY DO NOT HAVE LICENSES! This place is seriously a joke. They charged me $40 and didn't even cut my cuticles or massage.

This is my second time here. I came in for a pedi the ladies are nice and everything is clean. I am overall pleased and will return. They do try to pressure you into other services, I'm sure she asked twice if I also wanted to do my nails and then my eyebrows which I said yes to then my lip which I said no when we got to the room for my eyebrows she asked again. Oh well at least I know how to say no I guess. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Worst pedicure I've ever had. Painful and not well done. She barely scrubbed my feet, didn't massage, and didn't remove any cuticles. Decided to get a gel manicure and all she did was file and put on the gel polish, nothing else. Would not recommend. read more

I went to this location last Friday it's been years since I have been in that area so I thought I would stop for a pedicure. I see why the pedicure only cost $20.00 it was the worst I have ever had. Water would not stay hot, Didn't scrub my feet good, no warm towel on your legs, polish was awful (I was sitting under the dryer thing didn't touch anything the polish kept running off and the lady was getting mad at me like it was my fault).
