I haven't been here in years but went today, and they updated the pedicure seats. But I was not happy with my pedicure, she didnt use a base coat and the color is patchy in some places. Also she didn't use a new file on my toes, and she hurt me with the nail nipper they use to cut the skin off and she didn't use anything to separate my toenails. I had some dark nail polish on when I went in and she didnt remove all the old polish from the corners. Talk about not wanting to do your job well. I will not be coming back and don't recommend to anybody. read more

Personally been going here for nails for years. I'm familiar with Tony's work, and now Jennifer. I like it here because I can get pretty much anything I want, the only thing they don't have here is the "pink & white acrylics" or the colored acrylic powders that I know of. I know they're willing to do a nail design off of any picture you show them, but I think they now charge for that or may not be up for it. They do have a good amount of variety on designs & styles, but just depends on what you like personally. Overall, their work is good and I'm happy with my nails every time, so that's what's important. Have tried other places that have been recommended, but I just don't get lucky & would rather spend my money at a place I know I'm happy with. read more

Good! Walked in after 6 on a busy Thursday yet they took me for mani pedi. $23 Very nice mani pedi and the technicians were very nice and professional Not the cleanest place, but I'll be back read more

Would give zero stars if possible. The one time I decide to treat myself and get something a little different than a basic color my nails look like crap . my experience was horrible and when I tried to tell them they shaped my nails crooked and they were all uneven they just tried telling me my nails were flat. No that's not an excuse for my nails looking like crap. They wouldn't refund me a penny. I'm so mad at myself for allowing myself to come here . I should have known better the paint also looks super lumpy day after and a nail is already broken and gel paint is chipping. I'm warning you read more

Long past due So have you ever wanted those long almost over an inch and half this is the spot . I splurge one day and went here to get my long nails with crazy design that was each painted by hand no spray paint jobs here. read more

Wait time was long - only 3 women working when I arrived at 430 - I got out of there at 6.30P for a gel fill and a pedicure. Jennifer is quick and everyone seems to go to her for eyebrows. Price was reasonable. They do all sorts of nail art if you're into that. read more

Unsanitary. A woman had her pedicure done right before me and the lady who did my nails tried to use the same tools on me and foot scrubber. I had to ask for new tools then later ask for a brand new foot scrubber. The one she wanted to use on me was very old, discolored, and did not seem as if it had any good quality to scrub dead skin. I was hurt numerous times by the tools. I expressed my pain and even started pulling my foot back. (I religiously get pedicures so there waa no way that I had an in grown toe nail the way she was cutting into my toes). While I was gettting my pedicure they decided to do my full set and then decided to do my foot massage and toe nail painting at another desk which the gentlemen had an easier way of doing my nails. I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were getting extremely busy however this was very unprofessional. Not to mention, my toe was sore for about 1-3 days and I believe it was from how deep I was being cut and still praying that its not an infection. While I was getting my full set I realized that the nail technician was putting an excessive amount of acrylic resulting in acrylic being all over my nails and fingers. It took twice as long to do my full set gel acrylic nails than it normally does due to all the corrections he had to make along the way. It took almost a week for me to remove all the acrylic product from my fingers and around my cuticles. A week later of being done they now look decent; not like I tried doing them myself. I was charged $70, as much as I wanted to just walk out I do believe in karma so I paid howevee at this point I wish I got my refund. My toe nail polish has already chipped away and its only been 1 week. My pedicures generally last up to 2 to 3 weeks. This was very dissappointing. Its best to stick to your normal nail lady. Even if they are out of town it is so worth being loyal to one nail tech who you can trust. Nail salon nightmare read more

I've been going to King Nails for years, mainly for my eyebrows by Jennifer. I occasionally will get my nails done. I just recently got my nails done and I must say I do not recommend any of the new employees there. The only two standing original employees are Jennifer and Tony! My last two attempts with a simple gel manicure have been a little disappointing. read more

My friend and I spent all afternoon looking for a nail shop on Mission street. After waiting 45 minutes at another nail shop, we decided to leave and give up hope. We so happen to come across Kings nails and they took us right in, and perfected our nails to the Tee read more

Got my nails done here because the other places I had gone to always did a bad job. They always cut my cuticle to much and my nails would hurt. I asked my cousin where she got her nails done because she always has a nice manicure. She told me King Nails and so I went there with her. I loved it!!! They did a really good manicure, my cuticle was cut perfectly not too short like the other places. (By the way the other nail salon was KT Nails on polk, don't go there). The workers were all very nice. The place itself is a bit messy but the quality given is by far the best. read more

This place is ghetto, and I'm sure we all know it too. But... they do an alright job and for the price.. I can't complain too much. They know me by face and are always nice and talkative with me. The only downside about Kings is the people who come here to get their nails done.. they always want to stir up some kind of drama. But its all good. I don't come here anymore.. and probably would only go back to get my eyebrows waxed because they always turn out how I want them to look. (even though its really ghetto.. they use a toothpick to put the wax on. haha) If you do decide to go get your nails done at Kings, I'd let Tony do them.. he does the best job. read more

i had been going to king's for over 10 years: (this place) +they know me by first name, know my family, life stories & i know a slice of theirs. +first place i ever got my eyebrows & upper lip waxed-for price & fast service- eyebrows are in & out. done. occasional mediocre waiting period for just the eyebrows too. +miniscual pricing for a typical mani/pedi, full set, etc.. + great place to just get the job done***** on the contrary: i've went there 3 times this 2013 year & the quality of the service & experiences have gone down the drain: i waited for over an hour to get my nails done. i needed a fill & a pedicure. they forgot about my pedicure & i waited some more. ****don't you hate it when people who have arrived *after you get serviced *before you**** the new lady did my pedicure & was in a super rush. very sloppy job so she re-did my pedicure carefully the second time around- which should have been done the first time around. i have honestly build a great relationship with my favorite nail technician julie. who no longer works there. the only reason i go is because of her hospitality & respect she has for her clientele and our qualitative conversations. goodbye kings nails! read more

i got a gel mani and reg pedi ....a week later.... the gel nail polish was peeling off entirely. not chipped, peeling!!! i paid over $50 and i don't have a mani. very disappointed. read more

This place has the rudest employees ever!!! And on top of that she asked me to pay up before she starts painting my nails. Which, they look ugly for $25 plus $1 fee. Left the place leaving no tip!!! Just to see how rude she was being, made me not give any of money away. I stopped here since it was closed by to do grocery shopping but wrong idea! read more

this place is completely awesome... not only are the manicurist realli friendly but its cheap and they do a fantastic job.. me and my mom are in love with our nails!!! read more

This was my nail spot for years. I moved away for many years and now I'm back and will not leave again! I'll travel far to get back to Tony at kings nails. They understand what I want and provide it. read more

First of all I respect the nail art and designs certain people do there, but the workers their have attitudes and are rude. The nail prices here are inconsistant they tell u one thing and next its a whole different price.I went therenot too long ago with an up beat attitude and left feeling like smacking that bich. I patiently waited my turn after waiting some time, told the woman what I wanted...she had the nerve to tell me ,in PERFECT english no language barrier here, because they only understand what they want too... "You need to hurry up cause i have other customers." Frankly I dont care about your other customers when I am a paying customer,and I'd been waiting,and i know her rude ass would have been expecting a tip, they all think they desere a tip even when they're rude! So she felt as if her other customers were more important,so I got my shit, DIPPED and never went back. And to top everything off Jennifer charged my cousin an extra dollar to paint her nails with the nail polish she purchased and brought to the shop herself...she stated she was being charged for the "labor", she paid for a full set polish comes with the full set WTF!!li I had to be out that bitch! They suck so if you want to go here prepare yourself becuse they are rude and are quick to charge you 1 DOLLA! read more

Its ghetto but i like it. :) I got my first set of acrylics here and it only cost $20 for french. I forgot to ask the lady for her name but she did a pretty good job. Only one of my nails is longer than the other but i really don't mind. They look good from faraway. I can still kind of see my real nail on one of the nails.. I'm kind of disappointed that my nails grew so fast though!! but i mean i'd definitely come back.. except i really would hate to come here by myself, it scares me!! i ditched my coach bag at home and used some american eagle one.. and tried not to wear COLORS.. read more

5 stars, just for Jennifer. I made the mistake of straying away for a year or so, & got part of my eyebrow removed. Come see Jennifer for a wax, you won't regret it! read more

Got my nails done here today, was my first time and guess what! It was a bad experience . This lady put two different color of nail polish on my toe nails ! And to top it off she insisted of leaving a tip when I wasn't even satisfied. Definitely not coming back. And top it off I'm not even sure they tools that lady with the short hair used to do my pedicure were even clean! If I get fungus or some kinda shit on my toe nails I'm definitely coming back here to get my money back. Because my feet are clean . Don't come here please go up the hill to the other fancy nice cleaner nail salon! read more

Amazing place.... I have been coming here for 5 years and they never disappoint I was pleasantly surprised that they now started doing chrome nails and they have a variety of colors (about 30) of just chrome she is sooo gentle with your nails and amazing with ingrown nails as well they also said they are being color changing polish pretty soon I highly recommend her !!! read more

The Guy who did my nails has great customer service he offered to fix my nail since it grows downward at an awkward angle. I got a gel manicure on my real nails plus one broken nail has acrylic. The total was $35 which isn't bad considering the time and effort it takes to do nails. I would definitely recommend this place if you live by the excelsior or the mission, it's easy and convenient. I do see a comment that says they ask for people to pay first, it's true but they have a sign posted that says payment first. read more

If I could give minus 10 stars I would. Worst nail salon in life. Dirty, horrible customer service and they are not fast in any sense. I went in wanting a pedicure and a new French tip set. In there for close to an hour and a half and left with just a pedicure. The deal was to let my tips soak off in acetone so they'd be easier to remove and more gentle on the nail. Guess that was there way of being lazy because none of the nail technicians were checking to see how they were coming along. Needless to say, they wasted my time and an hour and a half on a pedicure is a bit ridiculous. Not even a spa pedicure. So now I am left walking around with crazy looking nails because I was already pressed for time. An hour and a half is more than enough time to get even two ladies wanting mani/pedis done. They use the in home pedicure machines that are LINED WITH PLASTIC BAGS!!!! They have nail clippings on the floor. Cuticle shavings and who knows what else inside the dishes to soak your fingers in! They arent subtle either when they start talking about there customers. Sooo rude!!! Ugh!!!! Don't play yourself ladies!!!! Signed, Angry and Regretful guinea pig :( read more

I've been going here for about 9 years now. I get my eyebrows waxed here. Jennifer is the only person that touches my eyebrows! My eyebrows HAVE to be perfect and Jennifer makes it that way eveytime she waxes it! She's amazing! read more

I went here because the one I usually go to was still closed. They did a good job on my mani but the design was not what I asked for. Since I had French tips, I just wanted the flowers to be colored. Instead she painted my entire nail and did the design all wrong. It took longer than 1hr for me to be finished because she would work on someone else after my first layer, then come back to me to do the second coat. read more

I was there yesterday to get my nails done for prom. A bunch of my friends and I went together because we had an appointment. My friends aren't actually from the City so they were a bit taken back by the neighborhood but luckily we found parking, just a block down the street. The man was so nice (even though I didn't have him). My friends kept saying they wished he did the nail polish and the design. I'm not sure if it's the most affordable place because I find that most nail salon prices fluctuates by $2-4 depending on the location and competition. The lady who did my nails was nice. She made sure to ask me what I wanted before she decided herself. However, I do have a few complaints. My right index and middle finger is slightly longer and bigger, which is noticeable when you compare them. It's also a hassle now to type with those two fingers (but hey, who am I kidding? I decided to get full set). Also, I just wanted a full set french and they put on clear nails (which kind of frustrates me). I don't like having the white tips painted on because it doesn't last longer.I didn't want to ask because I looked over at my girlfriend's and she had the same clear tips and she was getting a french mani too. Overall, the place was friendly but I don't think I will go there. I do like the way my manicure came out from the looks of it. It has like beautiful curve at the top and it's clean. The neighborhood was a bit raucus and busy but I demand people to check the place out at least once. read more

This nail salon is pretty ghetto... but I love getting my nails done here. They have the BEST hand painted nail designs... a bit pricey but they always do a good job to make my nails look fabulous! I work at a bank and get about 10 compliments a day about them. I would highly recomend this place, just make sure the tools they are using for you are all sanitized!! yikes! read more

I love the service I get here! They make you feel like a million bucks! Prices are average bit definitely worth it!

oh my god! i love this place even though inside seem pretty ghetto and i never get my nails done here but i still love it because i always got my eyebrows wax here and the lady whom did it for me is really friendly and did a great job! i highly recommend here! read more

Worse place to get your nails done. I went in for a full set and they started chipping the next day.!!! Seriously??? So awful.. The lady helping me out didn't even know what she was doing. My cousin's manicure was bad!!! Uneven nails. Horrible. Never again read more

i LOVE the way they wax my brows jen is amazing! tony is great at doing nails but i haven't gotten my nails done there for a while. i get my brows waxed here all the time and she tries not to make it too thin and asks how id like i have them done. she remembers me every time i've been going here for years so i'm definitely a fan! the place may not be very pleasant to walk into because its not the cleanest place on mission but they do their job right and delivers great service. read more

Was recommended here by a friend and what a mistake it was. Very slow when it wasn't even crowded,they didn't know how to do my rounded shape so I had to show them a picture,they had me pay before they did anything,the girl doing nail art seemed like it was a bother to do art on just two of my nails, and they still do pedicures out of a tub similar to the kitty litter boxes you buy from Walmart. Just a disaster. read more

Omg...This is the best Nails Salon I've ever been too!! It's so cheap and inexpensive. I walked over there and then I asked if I could get my nails and eyebrows done! I'll say! Jennifer is the best eyebrow groomer ever! When she uses her little clippers it doesn't even hurt! I can also see that Tony is good at putting long nails in and the women too. Jennifer has a fine work of art when she paints those cute designs on my nails, she should become a nail artist for people in Hollywood or something! If you want a good Nails Salon you should go to King Nails!(Well, that's what it said on the red banner above the Salon.) read more

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT I CAN GET MY EYEBROWS WAXED!!! I've had one bad experience that knocked down two stars. The story is, I went in about 545pm, one evening and it was during the time they closed at about 7pm so they rushed everything! I was coming for a special occasion and wanted to get french tips. So I got the $1 airbrush instead of the actually french tips because I figured they'd scrape off in 2 weeks anyways when I come back for my fill. They did the tips really sloppy and they painted the clear coat on top of it and told me that once I wash my hands it would come off! Really? I've gotten my nails done numerous times and I know the process! Come on now, lets use a bit of common sense now: hhhhhmmmm, once the french tip are coated with the clear coat, how would the white tips "WASH OFF???" I'm not that stupid, so I let them dry and came back the next morning, pissed as hell! So I went up to the lady and asked her why they didn't come off lol.... Pissed, she did them again and told me that I can never come and get the $1 designs again... wow, good one, you just lost a customer! So now, I get my nails done else where and only get my eyebrows done! This place does it really really clean and they try to do it evenly! You tell them what you want, and its done! They're so good that it can be a 30-45 minute wait for eyebrows because there's only one lady that does it! But I'd rather wait than to have some uneven messed up looking eyebrows! The place is pretty clean and they're right next to a corner store, so you can buy something to snack on while you're waiting. Parking is metered so you better bring some change with you, or they can exchange your dollars for their quarters! read more

I can't say everyone does a bad job here but the lady I got was so rude. I decided to give this spot a chance because LA BELLE great place was close.. The lady left my nails so thick! They weren't even I told her and all she said "its okay" "it's okay" when she opens the nail polish she drops nail polish all over her shirt so she starts doing a worst job with me. I got really upset because she was aggressive and when I told her I didn't like them she started yelling in her language! This lady was so UNPROFESSIONAL!! Really didn't want to make a scene but this lady was rude!! I can't believe someone could be that rude at their job and not be told anything!!!! Once a guy came in she calmed down so I'm guessing he's the owner !!! Didn't tell him anything because I was so mad and he wasnt there to see this lady's reaction ..BAD EXPERIENCE !!!! The other lady with short hair made it better she fixed my nails and was nice ..but because of the other lady I had the worst experience and won't recommend this place to no one! IT'S A CHEAP PLACE BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! read more

They charge for every little thing . I sometimes get my cuticles cut after a full that's $2. They have nice designs but they slap acrylic on. That's bull . They charge for credit card use. Come on. read more

I think this is the best place to get your eyebrows waxed. I been getting my eyebrows waxed here for 6 years now and I don't let anyone else do it. They do great acrylics too but I don't usually get them here because they charge a lot for the hand designs. If you're willing to pay the extra money it's worth it. read more

my cousin told me about this place, but I don't no what she was talking about. I read-ed all these review about JENNIFER and how good she is doing eyebrows but she don't do a good job, i had to go home and fix it for myself and i did a better job than her, the only reason i gave 2 stars was for the design she does it was good, but i asked for GEL on top i paid $7.00 for nothing, all the paint is off my nails and it hasn't even been a week yet. So really i don't recommed this place read more
