Everything a nail salon should be. Clean, excellent at their craft, and respectful of the fact that people come there to relax. Doesn't feel like you're a price tag that they're looking to rush through to get to the next person. They're kind and courteous and you can tell they really love what they do. read more

This place can sometimes be hard to get in and that's because they have a great reputation and do fantastic work! I always get the spa pedicure and my wife and granddaughter usually get a full set with my granddaughter opting for art. If you want anything above a normal pedicure, make sure you let them know (they usually ask) so you can send them a picture of what you want via their instagram so that can verify that they have the time and are able to accommodate your request. I have seen on more than one occasion, let's call these individuals "Karen", who book a full set but expect them to allow more time just for them because they never communicated that they wanted anything above and beyond. The abuse I have seen aimed at the staff because of their entitlement is abhorrent. Today, I was next to a woman who was ranting and raving on how she was going to "report" them if they did not do the extra work that wasn't booked. The very friendly owner (honestly, I would have lost it with this lady) explained the process in a very calm manner and informed "Karen" that they simply did not allocate the time for the additional work and that she is welcome to book an appointment at a later time. Kiwi is awesome! read more

Sadly, when I moved here and searched for the best nail salons, Kiwi didn't come up, and I was stunned! I have lived in major cities and needed a high-end nail spot here in Philly. I tried four highly recommended salons and was very disappointed in them. I stumbled upon Kiwi while walking on Girard, which looked the part. I made an appointment online, which requires a credit card in case you're a no-show, and told them exactly what I wanted. Their level of expertise is top-notch! Great designs, many colors to choose from, excellent service providers, and a 5% cash discount. As you might imagine, I have found my spot, and I hope you also give them a chance. read more

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. read more

My KIWI Nails was Tuckerton NJ Sorry Fishcreek. I like Jen. All the girls are good. I can't do manicure and pedicure at the same time because it takes to long during my brakes when I'm working. I don't want to give my Saturday up. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

An ad for this nailery came across my IG timeline, I looked at the different pictures of their work and decided to book an appointment for a pedicure that day. My appointment was for 3pm the same day. First thing first, parking was a struggle lol I parked a block away from the salon. I don't mind walking and it was a nice day. When i first came in I wasn't greeted, until I walked up to the girl at the front desk. She showed me where to pick my color from and then left me. It was my first time here so I really didn't know what to do next or who was helping me so I walked to the front and asked for help. The girl then walked me to the back and had me sit down. The salon is small but cute and quiet which I loved! They use liners for each pedicure and each customer has their own individual disposable pedicure set. So the pedicure I chose which was the Organic Spa Pedicure, with gel polish was not what I got. I was not able to soak my feet, and there were no salts or herbs added to my soak just plain water. The technician did a nice job painting my toes I will say that. My total was $51, but they added on a discount for a first time customer which was really cool. Not sure how I feel about giving them another try. Update: in response to the owner's response to my review, There was nothing added to the pedicure, I watched the tech, grab a tray with four ingredients sit it next to her and start running lukewarm water. Never did she add any salts, oils , or anything that's described in your response or the description stated on your website. No lemongrass or anything, but it's ok. read more

Horrible quality of nails. Nail tech made me very uncomfortable. Very rude staff. Would not recommend.

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 read more

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. read more

I booked an appointment to get my nails done and planned on doing acrylics with a design. I DMed the instagram account to ask about pricing and they, conveniently, never responded after opening my message. my friend got her nails done before me and they didn't message her back either, so when she asked for a relatively simple design and was charged a whopping $140 for it, not including tip, I decided against a design and went for regular acrylics. I saw a matte polished I liked, and I asked if it would be extra since it was matte. my mail lady told me no, but I was still charged in the end. the lady seemed frustrated with me at some points and started becoming extremely aggressive with my fingers, twisting them until they hurt and I pulled my hands away. my nails ended up bubbly and not done well, and I was still charged $70! will NOT be going back or recommending to anyone read more

I went in for a gel mani / pedi. I was a walk in. They took me and put the gel remover on my hands and feet Right away. The girl started with the pedicure, I think she was new it took an hour and a half. Then when it was time to finish my nails they said they didn't have time and asked me to come back another day! So I left with half a manicure and it looked awful. I've never had someone not finish the service. Wtf read more

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. read more

This salon is my new go to! I made an appointment online for a full set dip powder with Jade and she is amazing! My nails are perfectly shaped and even all around, which is hard to achieve with dip. Even the top of the nail was perfectly shaped so when you look from the side it's completely even. She was very careful not to over file my natural nail and took her time to make sure every detail was perfect. The salon itself was so relaxing and it smelled wonderful in there. It was truly a spa environment and everything is so clean and tidy. They even have individual kits to do your nails (a new buffer, cuticle clipper, nail file, everything) so you know those tools are only used on you then get discarded. I love how sanitary they are! Everybody at the salon was so friendly and I look forward to going again! read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! Made an appointment and had a regular pedicure and gel manicure. The atmosphere is great and Jade was extremely friendly, but super professional. I decided for the first time on rainbow nails (a different color on each nail) and she did a great job. It was $5 extra, which I think is a great price for five different colors. The pricing is a little higher than the area, but it's totally worth it since I've had mishaps (not using a base coat or chipping after a few days) at other salons. I also like how when you schedule they send you an itemization through email of what the expected cost will be. Definitely recommend! read more

Kiwi Nails Fishtown - Gel manicure from Kiwi nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Went there for the 1st time last Saturday to get a gel manicure and design. The place is beautiful and clean and professional however my nails don't look nice anymore. It hasn't even been 1 full week and I already want to take off the polish and get a new manicure elsewhere. I'm very disappointed as this was not a cheap gel manicure. I usually go to a place by my parents but due to the weather decided to try a local place. read more

I'm only knocking a star off because I feel they should be a little more clear with pricing and add ons (I got a powder dip, and I was suggested a chrome finish but no one mentioned it would be an additional $20 until I got hit with the $65 bill) The nail salon was impecable. Clean, tidy, smelled lovely and everything looked properly sanitized. They had such a great variety of colors to pick from! I couldn't stop raving about my manicure. My nail tech really did her job well, making sure my cuticles looked good and the mani was perfect. Although I live in NY, I make it a point to come here and here only whenever I'm in philly read more

It was my first time here, the salon was really pretty and clean. All the girls were really sweet! I had gotten the herbal spa pedicure. My only complaint is the nail tech didn't give me a decent massage. She just gently cerassed my legs and feet, even after I asked her to apply more pressure. Pretty disappointing for the price of $70. On the plus side, they gave me 10% off for my first time and for signing up for their rewards program. Overall, it was pretty relaxing experience. I'd give it another chance. read more

So let me start by saying they did a very good job being clean and making you feel safe when visiting. They had temp checks, a consent form, hand sanitizer and the staff had masks, gloves and coverings over their clothes. The place was calming and cute. I was excited about the experience after walking in. I had previously written my dip manicure was not done in a timely manner and overpriced, but that the end result was good. While it did take a long time, the price I was charged was a mistake. Originally, I was charged an up charge for a gel top coat on the dip but the manager was nice enough to reach out to me and clear everything up. I was not supposed to be charged the up charge, and therefore, the pricing is equal to other salons in the area. read more

Went in on a whim because my usual nail spot is closed on Monday's...I was very impressed! Good selection of colors to choose from, clean interior, and very nice staff. Jade gave me exactly what I wanted! Just wanted a simple SNS powder manicure. She took her time with the whole process and 3 weeks later, my nails are still in tact!! Would recommend seeing Jade; she is so sweet and does a great job. Coming back today to get them redone! Big plus is that there are always parking spots right on Girard read more

I love this nail salon! It's so clean, cute & relaxing, and everyone on the staff is great! I got the summer package twice, which includes the sns dip powder full set & an organic pedicure.

They have pretty much any color you can imagine. 100% recommend!! read more

This nail salon is the absolute best and I won't go anywhere else! The atmosphere is so relaxing & not like your typical nail salon with obnoxious televisions; it's a true spa experience. They only use the best products & the salon is extremely clean. I've had different technicians for my poly gel nails, gel manicures and pedicures and everyone has been excellent. I've gone to nail salons all over the city and you will not get better service or quality than Kiwi. You are able to book your appointments online which I love! It's so convenient.

I was looking for a nail salon close to my new home, and based on positive reviews decided to give Kiwi a try. First, they are taking COVID protocols very seriously. They have plexi glass at the nail counters, enforce masks at all times, have plenty of hand sanitizer and hand washing procedures. Despite everything I've felt really safe. And my nails look great too! I've gone a few times now and have had positive experiences each time. Some other perks include online appointments and you can tip via venmo if you're short on cash. I'm glad I have a great salon close to home. read more

The girls were really nice but my nails didn't last. I got acrylics with gel and they CHIPPED after 2 days.

Overrated, Too expensive, not communicative employees, does not provide service you ask for or scheduled for, does not provide nail design/style you ask for even when we sent pics before hand, no ventilation in salon leading to toxicity and health issues. read more

Not great for pedicures. Ive had the same tech a few times now (Jennie) and she basically just pokes me with the tools and doesn't actually cut anything. Doesn't really seem like she knows what she's doing. Id be ok paying the price if it was quality service but it just isn't. You have to request certain techs if you want an actually good pedicure or manicure. read more
