Kim is fantastic- she is caring and takes her time. I have been to at least 10 nail salons all over, and her's by far has been my favorite. Will definitely be coming back :) She did an awesome nail fix for my big toes too- I had stubbed them and definitely needed help. She has great colors, a beautiful salon, and lots of customers I saw that knew her personally. read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Passed by the building many times, but finally made my appointment today: not disappointed at all. Kim is one of the sweetest people you could ask to meet and is very attentive to how you like your service done (most people won't take my nails short enough for my pedicures, but she didn't disappoint). I'll be seeing her again soon!! Thanks for the excellent service! read more

Couldn't decide if I wanted to update my review after several years of pleasant service but I've decide that Kim has acted incredibly unprofessional. My mother and I have been patronizing Kim's establishment for a long time (and we were clients of hers before she opened her own business) and we've overlooked some of the more irksome things Kim has done. She has ~multiple~ times, double booked time slots and insisted each time that WE are the ones at fault; I know she has done this to others because she will gossip about clients while you are there. She also has a tendency to talk so much she'll forget the time and have to rush to finish your nails because she'll have another appointment coming. But this last time really irritated me. My mom went and had a pedicure done and when she was checking out and was receiving her change, thought she had handed Kim a 20 originally not a 10 (so she thought she needed more change) when she brought it up to Kim, Kim's says no you handed me a 10 so my mom says my mistake and apologizes (she did not argue, she brought it up once and then apologized when Kim said no). A couple weeks later she calls to make another appointment and Kim says she doesn't think my mom should come to her anymore. Are you serious!? I am leaving my review at 3 stars instead of 1 because despite Kim's unprofessionalism, she is good at what she does, she just really should invest in hiring some help. read more

Kim's nails is the absolute best place in Blacksburg to go for your nails. Kim does all the nails herself in the salon, and she is so personable. I came in once a year ago and she remembered my name and where I work and all that. Kim is so sweet and she does nails so perfectly! She tends to do acrylic nails thin, which makes them look super natural, but I've never had a problem with them breaking off. Her prices are very reasonable, especially considering how much the other places in town charge. Definitely go here and support Kim! read more

I was amazed at the superb quality of service provided by just ONE adorable woman. Kim is most competent, friendly, attentive, and obviously passionate about her work. No walk-ins - an appointment is necessary. The massage option to the chairs stopped working a few weeks ago, but it doesn't matter - her skills make up for that. The location is easy to find with ample parking and does not reek of fumes. read more

Kim is the best! She was so attentive and kind. I got a acrylic manicure with gel polish. She doesn't have a huge color selection but her attention to detail is immaculate read more

I came to Kim today for the first time to get my nails done for ring dance. I made an appointment 5 days in advance and when I came in, she was finishing up another girl before me so the wait time was very short. Ive gotten my nails done a few times in my life for big events, and this was definitely the best experience I've ever had! Not only were the prices great, kim took her time and did my nails exactly how I wanted them. She always asks if you like them so that you can make sure they're perfect. She took her time and was very patient and kept a great conversation. I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

Kim is seriously one of the nicest people I have met when getting my nails done! She took the extra time and care to make sure my nails were BEYOND perfect for ring dance!!

If you want your nails done, Kim is your girl! You do have to make an appointment because she runs the place by herself, but I called minutes before and she was able to pencil me in. I have only gotten a gel manicure from her, but she is meticulous and took her time, not rushing through any step of the process. She is genuinely interested in knowing your name, and will talk your ear off if you let her! (which is totally understandable, if I were running a salon on my own I would want someone to talk to!) The only reason this isn't a 5 is because I was waiting about 20 minutes for her to finish up a pedicure, while I sat with my hands in a heater softening my cuticles, her facility could have been a little more clean, and she knicked my ring finger (but profusely apologized and gave me a discount). The location is great is you are walking from campus, but parking can be a bit tricky because she does not have any dedicated or available convenient parking. read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Gel Manicure $30 - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I came here once last year for a manicure and then again for an SNS removal a few weeks back and was very pleased by the friendly, but professional service and the attention to detail! I was thinking about also getting a manicure, but Kim said that it would be better for my nails to wait, so I did. I ended up just painting them myself because I moved away since I graduated from VT. However, I will be sure to pay Kim a visit whenever I'm back in town. She is super friendly and very good at what she does. read more

First, let me start by saying I created a yelp account for the first time solely to give Kim's nail salon rave reviews, so others can come and see how great she is. No, I have not been living under a rock. I always love reading reviews on here, but was too lazy to write my own...until now. Secondly, I have to say that as a native New Yorker, it can be hard to impress me easily as I have become a bit jaded from being in the big city for 26 years. So, that's another reason why me leaving a review for something/ someone is a big deal. Finally, let me explain why YOU NEED to come here: 1. I called today, and she was able to give me an appointment for the same day only 2 hours from the time I called. Having already read some of her reviews, I knew this was the best way to be seen since she happens to be a one-woman-show, doing EVERYTHING by herself. I just did not think it would be as simple as this. 2. I heard about her friendliness, but honestly did not go here for this reason. I am not really a people person, so it was quite surprising to find myself talking about REAL issues to a complete stranger, but it was just so easy to do with her because she really seems to care about you and actually takes her time to get to know you. However, the whole time she is making you feel just like you're talking with a girlfriend, she is busy making your nails look absolutely fabulous. That brings me to my next point. 3. My nails actually look pretty darn amazing. Kim made sure to ask me what I thought of the shape, length, color, tip thickness, etc. the whole time she was working. Some other places act like they are doing you a favor, if they have to remove nail polish that they got on your skin or if you ask for a different color after one has already been applied on one nail, etc. Kim was very concerned with my satisfaction with everything the whole time. Her quality of work blows every other nail salon in the area out of the ball park. Now, if you're still reading my super long first-timer review, thank you, but I have a question for you... WHY ARE YOU NOT SUPPORTING THIS LOCAL BUSINESS YET?? I'm dumb-founded as to why Kim doesn't have more business (particularly from all them V-tech students) flying through her doors! Someone who does such quality manicures, is friendly and funny, yet professional, has several years experience, has a super clean space, speaks English, has parking available.....etc. etc. etc. deserves to have her business supported more. I'm definitely coming back here, and I hope this review makes others come try her out and see for yourself she is the real deal! read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Perfect O.P.I. gel French manicure done by Kim. - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Totally sucks! Waste of money! I went there for mani pedi but I ended up leaving with out doing mani. So first of all, the pedicure was not neat and clean, to me she(Kim) was just playing with her tools on my toes, nothing really was taken off. When she was done with my toes I showed her one of my toes and asked her to repair or repolish it but she started shouting at me that she doesnt think there is anything wrong with that nail polish !!!!!!!!!!!! I am paying $27 for pedicure and I really want to be satisfied with it, so if you want your customer to return, you should listen to them otherwise why do you even ask for their opinion!? I think she is so rude and that is why there was no one at her store other than me! read more

Kim Nails & Spa - This is the nail! Total waste of money! - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I love this place. Only nail salon I go to. THE BEST. Very professional, great attention to detail, and friendly. She works alone so I recommend you make an appointment. Otherwise you may have to wait. Conveniently located near Tech campus so easy for students to walk to. read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Perfect pedicure! So relaxing, Kim was attentive and checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and happy! One of my friends even fell asleep in the chair! Pricing seems standard, around $20-30 depending on the service you get. Stop in and let Kim transform your nails! read more

As a Blacksburg native, I can confidently say this is THE best nail salon in the New River Valley! Kim is a wonderful lady. We love her attention to detail and quality of work. We recommend you make an appointment as she is usually busy with clients, but she is good about fitting you in the same day when you call. She will take her time and do a great job! We have had manicures and pedicures and both have been excellent. Compared to the other nail salons around town that rush through a job, she takes her time. Expect to take an hour for a mani OR pedi. read more

Kim provides an excellent pedicure & manicure! She is a pleasure to visit with, too. My nails look so much healthier and the soles of my feet look & feel better. read more

I am writing this 16 days after my shellac manicure. It is, hands down, the best mani I have ever had. There is not one chip over two weeks later! Amazing!! I needed a last minute mani and had no choice but to try a new salon that could squeeze me in. I wish I lived in Blacksburg and was not just visiting! Kim is a sweet, hard working woman! Thanks for the mani of my life!! read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Other than natural growth this mani is shiny and perfect two weeks later!! Wow! - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I can't say enough about this place!! Kim was so sweet and caring. She tok me right away and called me by my name the entire time and held good conversation. I got a gel manicure and after I picked my color she brought out different shades of that color for me to try so I could pick the best one. This alone made me instantly love her! She went on to make sure she did my nails exactly how I wanted, length an shape, and didn't complain if I asked for anything. I also go a design done and she matched the colors of the design to what I'd be wearing on my date(the reason I got my nails done). She kept telling me if I didn't like it she's be happy to redo it, but I loved what she did! She takes her time and makes you feel very special and never rushed. A breath of fresh air for a nail salon! And before I left she even have me a hug :) I will definitely be returning here to get my nails done! Prices are quite fair compared to what I'm used to. read more

Kim Nails & Spa - Kim did an amazing job apply gel and making the design exactly how I wanted. - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Kim is the best in town. Extremely kind, very talkative and makes sure you like what you get. I've been more than satisfied each and every time. I won't go anywhere else. Make sure to book an appointment because she's the only one there and is a very busy woman. read more

I called Kim and she was able to give me an appointment right away. Kim knows what she is doing and takes her time to make sure it's perfect. She goes out of her way to remember you and your name. My gel mani is perfect and I'll definitely be going to Kim again in the future. read more

I wanted a pedicure on my birthday so I walked in during their open hours and I was denied service because there was only one lady working. She told me I had to fill out a form to get my nails done as she was working on three girls at a time. It also had the strongest smell of nail polish and chemicals and I walked out with a headache. Very disappointed. read more

Kim is great at getting to know her customers and did a superb job on my pedicure. She took her time scrubbing my dead skin away leaving my feet incredibly soft. Very personable and great service! Would recommend to anyone. read more

Don't go here. They messed up our appointment time. Greeted with attitude. Scheduled three pedicures and only one person was working and was told none of the massage chairs were working. Never told this when I called to make the appointment. How do you offer pedicures and none of your massage chairs work?! Walked out and went somewhere else. read more

Kim has a great friendly personality and is a true artist. I had a pedicure with her and she guided me with the color (emerald green, something I would have bypassed as too flashy) and then offered to paint on a beautiful sparkly flower on my big toes - at no extra charge!! It all came out superb and has lasted for a month now with no flaking or chipping. Not a day goes by that friends and sometimes complete strangers don't admire my toes. Why did I take off one star? The salon was dirty and I observed lapses in disinfection in between customers. The feet soaking tub was visibly not clean, no liner and even had some gravel in it. Please, please, please practice proper infection control measures and I would gladly give Kim 10 stars. read more

Kim is absolutely wonderful. Very thorough, kind, clean. Best pedicure I've ever had. Highly recommend.

I get occasional pedicures with my daughter. We have always been pleased with the service and attention to detail. Recently my husband has started going for pedicures and feels less self conscious here than anywhere else. Kim had a couple of weeks where she didn't seem herself after some time away, but has been fine since. I recently tried a gel manicure and she was extremely helpful in making sure my expectations were realistic and did a great job!! Always remembers my name and details about me and my family. She is incredibly sweet and tries very hard to meet all he customer's expectations. read more

Kim is the best! She does such a careful and thorough job. I've gotten mani-pedis from her several times, and each time she does a fantastic job. She is always double checking with me if the shape and style are perfect, not to mention just being in general a very kind lady. I would highly recommend her quality work! read more

Best manicure experience I've ever had! Kim is so sweet and she checked all throughout my manicure to make sure they were perfect!

I found Kim by googling nail salons and going only by the reviews. I was very impressed with the reviews she's received and decided to give her a try. I cannot believe I have been wasting my time at other nail salons!!! Kim took her time with me, talked to me and pampered my toes (I got a pedicure). My feet look better than they ever have and I'm not exaggerating. It's been over a week since I got my toes done and I've been to the beach (and we all know what sand and salt does to your nail polish) and they still look like the day I got them done. I am so impressed I cannot even tell you!!! I could stare at my feet for hours!! Kim is the best! I'm a customer for life!!!! read more

Kim Nails & Spa - My pedicure!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Kim is an absolute wonder. I decided to try the spot out because of all the positive reviews online. I almost couldn't find the place because it's a stand alone building that kind of looks like an apartment building. I made an appointment the day before and didn't have to wait on anyone. My nails are absolutely gorgeous and I will definitely be returning for another gel manny. read more

Kim is an absolute delight, and she is amazing at doing nails. I don't typically get my nails done too often, but after someone suggested that I go to Kim's, I decided to give it a try. I got the best manicure I've ever had, and for a pretty good price too! Kim runs the entire business by herself, so if you're looking to get your nails done here, make sure you get an appointment. read more

Kim is an artist with nails and she cares deeply about making certain her clients are pleased. She is also one of the hardest working people in Blacksburg -- she runs the whole shop by herself and she manages to juggle it all -- from taking appointments to creating beautiful hands and feet. read more

Kim is amazing!! She truly gives a great service. Not only does she remember your name, she is so pleasant to talk to. She is meticulous, my nails look great! I love how serene and quiet the salon is. She is so nice and stayed late for me to get my nails done- she took my in at 9:00 just a few days before Christmas when she was so busy. Great customer service. I will continue to come here every time I come to Blacksburg! read more

I loved my experience! You need to get an appointment because Kim runs the whole place by herself but she is very good about fitting you in when you need. She was so nice and talked to me all through the appointment and gave me tons of tips on how to keep my nails looking nice between appointments. She made sure that my nails were exactly the way I wanted and she did a beautiful job. Since then I've gotten tons of compliments on my nails and I'm very excited to go back again and again! It's great to find such a quality nail spa here in Blacksburg! read more

I found Kim after disappointing service (more than one time) at another nail salon. She is very friendly and competent, and called me by my name the entire time. You cannot go wrong with Kim. Appointment is suggested, but if you call and she has had a cancellation, she will work you in. Try her and you'll be glad you did. read more

Amazing! Kim works alone so the only downside is that you can't do any walk-ins, but I came in and asked to do my eyebrows, she did them perfectly and even had time to fit me in for a pedicure! She's such a sweetheart too! Would definitely recommend. read more

Kim is adorable! She called me by name the whole time, was very friendly and did a great job. I can't believe she runs that whole place herself! She had me come back after hours in order to fit in my wax, and did a great job. I would definitely recommend her on personality alone. read more

Kim is thorough, neat, and does a beautiful job! The salon is clean. I have had manis and pedis here. Kim is a one woman dynamo! Her sign says Walk Ins Welcome but I would not recommend it. You should call for an appointment because she is so worth it. My pedis last a good 3-4 weeks before it is time for a redo. She doesn't rip out hangnails. Kim will ask if you are satisfied with her service. Other places I have been don't ask anything! Kim's has great private parking lot. I am pleased to support this local business. read more

After a couple of "bumps" in finding a good nail place over the past year, I have stumbled upon Nirvana! Kim is absolutely not only wonderful at doing my nails and toes, but a really sweet person as well. She makes it a point to learn your name, and when I returned for only my second visit, immediately said hi to me. She does wonderful work - taking her time to assure that your nails and toes look good. And, she constantly asks if everything meets your expectations. And her shop and tools are super clean. The only negative (and it's not really a negative) is that you cannot just walk in for an appointment. She is the sole owner/operator of the establishment, and you must call to book an appointment. Don't hesitate to use Kim - her service is like the days of old - she takes the time to not only get to know you, but makes sure that her services are performed to your satisfaction. She doesn't hurry or seem put out like other shops in the area. Don't hesitate to use Kim. read more

Kim is the sweetest, her salon is very clean and she pays attention to detail. I've been going to her for years and she always does an amazing job. You can tell she puts a lot of effort and care into her work, which she manages all by herself. Be sure to call to get an appointment as she can get busy. read more
