    I really wanted to love this place as I checked their Instagram and loved the pictures. However, this is the first time I got my gel manicure and the nail chips out and fell just after 2 days despite of any heavy uses of hands. I did not expect to receive this type of quality because the prices here are expensive compared to other shops. On the other hand, I was not very happy when I came in to the store and could not get the nail enhancement and service I wanted. The owner explained to me it was due to the short staff. The owner said if I wanted to get what I liked, I would have to book another appointment. I felt bad and decided to do what they offered though. However, I read the other reviews and it seems like their common issue. So BEWARE if you want to come here, BEWARE they expect you to know exactly what you want... If not, you will not have the service and only disappointment.

    Great nail salon overall! I go for the poly gel manicures and although more expensive feel it is worth it for how long they last. Nails are always shaped well and last for over four weeks. Great at designs as well (extra charge so make sure you confirm price before proceeding with a certain design). Friendly staff as well!

    I can't say enough good things about this salon. Finding a new nail salon when you move to a new city can be daunting. But I'm glad I found this one in my neighborhood and will be a regular customer! Probably the best nail place I've ever been to in terms of ambiance, service and technique. Jade does an amazing job with nail art. She is very detailed. It costs $5 to get gel removed and she does a great job. She applies a polish to help strengthen the nails. Follow them on Instagram @kiwinailsfishtown TIP: first time customers get 10% off. If you use cash for $30 and over, you get 5% off. Minimum of $20 for credit card. There's an ATM inside the store.

    I've been going to Kiwi Nails for the past year to see TiTi and she's always been so spot on with the nail designs I have asked of her. She also always makes the best suggestions that will elevate the final look and I'm so grateful I found a place I love to go in Philly. I broke one of my nails before a friend's wedding and was able to go back within a day.

    Jennie took such good care with my nails. I brought in a picture of a design and honestly mine looks better than what I showed her. So happy with the results and will definitely be back.

    I am in town from Vegas for a wedding and was desperate to get my nails done! A friend recommended Kiwi Nails and I am so glad I went. Emma worked quickly but her work was perfection. Very very impressed. Thank you Emma!!

    Brows & scabbed lip
    Victoria S.

    I walked in yesterday for a last minute lip and brow wax after seeing decent reviews. They took me right away, the atmosphere was very pleasant and calming. They don't have a separate waxing area - they just sat me down in a regular chair in the same room where people were getting pedicures. My brows are fine, but some skin was ripped off my lip in the corner and it looks like a burn this morning. I think it's because she went over the same area twice? Not sure, but pretty upset. Would've been better off with a mustache than this look. I wanted to like this place because it's so close to my house but don't think I can go back. Also, they have a $20 card minimum which I missed by $2 (excluding tip) so they charged me the difference.

    3 of 4 dip coatings that popped off my fingers after a week

    Dropped into Kiwi Nails last week (based on great word of mouth reviews), and was seen right away. Everyone was really sweet, the place was really clean and they offer you water/tea. They removed my 3-week old dip (done somewhere out of state), did a new set (?) of dip, and I was very happy with the appearance of my nails leaving Kiwi. However, a week later, the dip popped off 4 of my nails. I stopped back in today, and TT removed everything from both hands and redid all my nails. They turned out great! Not sure why the last ones popped off my nails, but hopefully these stay! If so, I'll definitely be back again!

    I recently relocated back to the Philadelphia area and was looking for a new nail salon. I came across kiwi nails and was not disappointed! The salon is very well kept and has a great atmosphere! Everyone I was in contact with was extremely nice and personable. I was a walk-in later in the evening and was still given a great deal of attention to my nails, which is greatly appreciated. The nail tech waited with me so that my nails could properly dry even when it meant staying later than she needed to. On top of that my nails turned out perfect! So happy!

    SNS fullset with a chrome accent!

    All I can say is wow! I've started getting regular manicures pretty regularly for the first time ever in the last few months, and have struggled to find a nail salon that delivers the high quality I expect for my nails. This one has blown them ALL away. First of all, the space is gorgeous- it's modern, clean, and calming. Sometimes I feel a little claustrophobic during nail appointments because the spaces are usually cramped, but not here! I was offered water, coffee or tea which was lovely. I had a 6pm appointment for an SNS fullset- I got there on time and I didn't expect it would take too long, but because my nails had thick gel and some acrylic overlay on three fingers, removal took longer than I expected, which is fine, but I felt so bad because Jade had to stay till 8 to finish my nails- thank you to her and everyone for being so accommodating! This was my first full set of any kind of nail extension and my second time getting the SNS powder. The first place I got it was terrible- it was thick, uneven, and fake looking. Jade took the time to shape my nails before AND after SNS application, and also sanded down the SNS so it wasn't so thick. It's perfect. Jade is an artist, she did such a thorough and amazing job, I am THRILLED with my nails. They look so natural and make me miss my long natural nails less! Also the price is so reasonable. You can tip with a credit card too, which was great when I didn't have enough cash for a tip! Can't say enough good things about this spot. I will be back!!! Thank you to everyone at Kiwi :D

    I love this place they do the best acrylics and they last so long. Shoutout to Nikki for taking the time and doing such a good job. This will for sure be my go to nail salon

    Gel mani by Rachel

    This place is wonderful. I've gone here for a few mani-pedi appointments with Rachel. She's always done a a really beautiful job, especially with nail art. The prices are higher than a lot of places in Philly, but I honestly think it's very worth it. The overall vibe of the salon is very relaxed. Will definitely return the next time I'm looking to get my nails done.

    Cozy spot and nice technicians but gel was not long lasting at all. My gel manicures usually last at least 2 weeks and this one was chipping by the second day. I came in for a redo and the following day the nails chipped again :/ haven't changed anything in my day-to-day life and it's unusual for gel to not last the first couple days after getting it. Not sure if they used old polish or if it wasn't cured enough. Other than that the place was very professional and clean. Lots of color selection.

    New to the neighborhood and want to try this nail salon in April. Is it easy to get an appointment for a gel manicure if I call a week in advance or are they usually booked further out?

    I was able to book online for an appointment the next day. Very easy!

I've had my fair share of spray tans over the years (my husband eve part owned a salon that gave them), and I have never had a color choice like the ones given here. I thought it was awesome! Originally I thought I would want to go darker with the "espresso" and Fran sprayed me, let me look at my tan line, and let me decide. But she was right, "mocha" was just perfect. It's your option to wear (or not) whatever you want. They do have disposable thongs available if you don't want to go au naturale, but want as much color as possible. Fran took her time with me, and even applied baby powder to soak up excess moisture on a very hot day to prevent streaking. Conversation was great and she was super professional. This can certainly be an awkward thing and Fran made me feel completely at ease. If this is your first spray tan be prepared to not get wet for 8-12 hours although for $10 more they have an express option which allows for showering in just 3 hours. Wear baggy dark clothes, exfoliate and shave prior to your appointment. Booking same day was super simple, but I would recommend calling at least a few days in advance. There's 10% with Yelp check-in and BOGO half for first timers. Went with the latter option and cannot wait to return the next time and get sprayed again when I have another special occasion or just want to feel extra golden and sexy. I UV tan regularly and this color is so incredibly difficult to attain that way. Plus, this spray is organic and much bette for you! They also have a full spa downstairs offering facials and lash services. Parking unmetered out front was super simple. Went perfectly with grabbing a bite at Suraya down the street. Awesome find!!

Prior to finding Majestic, I had done both gel and acrylic, but I've since switched to dip with Gel Designs, which is what Lina specializes in. Never in my life have I had my nails look this wonderful, and I truly, truly mean that. I'm not even currently in the office, and all of my colleagues want to see my nails whenever we hop on zoom meetings. Lina is such a sweetheart and I genuinely enjoy my appointments with her. I always make sure to let her know what I'm looking for prior to the appointment just so she can be prepared with colors, supplies, and appropriate time and whatnot. I'm so appreciative that she takes her time and it really shows in her work. I walk away with my beautiful little works of art on my fingers and I could not be happier. I saw a couple of others in reviews commenting on prices and I'll say this: if you want a $35 set, they're going to look like a $35 set. If you want quality set of nails, that look gosh darn GORGEOUS, come here. You get what you pay for. You're paying for someone to take their time, and make your nails look beautiful, and I'm personally willing to pay someone for their artistic craft. Thats what this is. Nails are art. Pay artists for their work.
