Disappointing Experience - Won't Return (Naperville Location) I used to love K.O.I. Nails Spa in Naperville until I realize a different set of nail technicians than the original 2 years ago The quality and service were great, but things have changed. The salon doesn't feel as clean, and I noticed signs of toenail fungus after multiple visits. I also saw tools being reused between customers, which is a major sanitation issue. My last visit was the worst. I asked for no polish and was told the price would be reduced, but they still charged full price and denied ever saying it. I paid **$86.00**, including a small tip, even though the work was rushed, and the gel still looked rough. There's always a different technician who can't communicate clearly, which makes it even more frustrating. I won't be returning. If you go, pay attention to the tools, prices, and cleanliness before you sit down. read more

Always have great service . I have been coming here for a couple of years. Nails look great

I usually go to Glo Nails, but I wanted a quieter, less crowded place, so I found Koi Nail Spa. I was so impressed with how Nancy did my "CatEyes" that I returned. This time, I tried a new technique that was more affordable than gel nails, lasted longer, and had a quick dry time. I was not disappointed! Thank you to YoYo and the rest of the team for their professional, comfortable, and stylish service. I highly recommend it! PYW read more

I've been going to this place for 8 years, ever since Rina first opened it. Place was sold a few times but I never had complaints. With new owners now service became so so but customer service is below Z-. Few times I had appointment and was asked to wait. Patiently lol for 45 minutes. Eventually I left. Then I hear that they talk about their clients back not so nice things. I called today to see if they will be more welcoming. My number is blocked. Lol. Considering there is a much better place next door! Whatever read more

Jennie was great. I was a walk in and she took great care of me. She took her time and made sure to be very tedious. Super hard working. Was my first time here and won't be my last! read more

I've been meaning to find a new nail place and decided to make an appointment today. Koi Nail Spa is extremely close to my house so it was very convenient and I am pleased to say that I've found my new place. I've read some pretty horrible past reviews of this place and I believe all those incidents happened under old management. I was actually serviced today by the owner, Tina, and she was incredibly nice and diligent. I just got acrylics with normal polish and they turned out beautifully. The staff overall was very pleasant and nice. Personally, I would recommend. In general, when nail shops like these get busy waits can be longer and different employees can tag team different clients. This is not a super high end up scale spa, so if that's what you're looking for then this isn't it. read more

COVID or NO COVID, a nail spa should wipe down stations between clients... both for manis & pedis! They do not wipe down the surfaces & chairs at either! The arms of the pedi chair were covered in dust that I could feel so I didn't rest my arms there. After my pedi, I was taken to a mani station. They had to move a lady who had just finished getting her nails done that was sitting there letting her nails dry. They didn't wrote the chair and even touch the table to clean it. I sat down. The tech wanted to see my nails. I said, oh, you don't wipe things down between clients? So THEN she moved the 3 leftover polishes and grabbed a little poofy powder dusting brush, & lightly dusted a small section on HER side of the table. There was no clean towel put down. There was nothing put down. There was no disinfecting wipes, no paper towels. I saw the person two spots down from me to my left finish. They sat the next customer in that same spot right away. Not one bit of cleaning again! To my right was a counter height ledge with 2 plants and a fish tank. The ledge had a thick gray later of dust I could see from 4 feet away. The orchid leaf had a streak where the dust was wiped away. I've wanted to try Koi for years, as I'd heard good things about it. NEVER AGAIN. I've never been to a nail spa so blatantly unsanitary. This is an industry where good hygiene & sanitation is a must ALWAYS. There are far too many to choose from. I repeat... NEVER AGAIN read more

Stay away from this place. Tina did my nails and it was the worst mani I ever had done. I think the ownership has changed here again for the third time in less than a year. It's no wonder. The place was empty and Tina was too busy talking with the other girls to give my nails the attention they required. When leaving she overcharged me and then acted like it was a mistake. First time shame on you, next time shame on me. Won't be back. Too many nail salons nearby to spend money and time at one of the worst. read more

Most amazing customer service and experience. Ever since I can here once I never could stop coming!

Amazing amazing little nail salon. I got a pedicure and it was incredibly relaxing and very thorough. The scrub smelled delicious and the lotion had an amazing sweet coconut scent to it. I was in heaven the whole time. I will definitely be back here for my pedicures. Thank you Koi Nail Spa read more

Koi nails has really gone down hill since the new owners took over this past summer. My daughter & I waited 45 minutes for our scheduled appointment time. The pedicure chairs are dingy and falling apart. Worst of all our nails look terrible. After years of being Koi customers, this will be our last visit. read more

I am a long time customer @ KOI but today was my 1st appointment under the new management. They definitely have done some minor remodeling which did spruce up the space. I believe the staff was also newer, I didn't see any of the staff that I'm used to. However the nail tech I had could not have been better. It was the best pedicure I've had in a while. I usually don't get manicures but decided to treat myself today (they're offering a 10% new mgmnt. discount) and glad I did. She paid so much attention and care to my cuticles which I have to admit where is terrible condition. Sometimes "under new management" is not always an improvement, but in this case they kept the atmosphere & great techs just in a nicer environment. They've added some waxing & eyelash services as well. I HIGHLY recommend you try them out next time you're looking to have your nails done. read more

I'm always impressed by the work at Koi. My daughters and I are regular customers and we've never been disappointed.

I am a Wheaton College student, and I found Koi via Groupon. They were very kind and welcoming, sanitary and my nails look great! I got a mani pedi and felt entirely relaxed during my treatment. I want to thank Koi again for taking care of me and my friends! read more

Besides the rudeness of making you wait, and wait and wait. Everything is wrong about this place. Made a same day appointment and when I walked in I was met with nothing but dirty looks and attitude. After standing at the counter waiting for ANYONE to greet me a nail tech rudely asked "can I help you??" as if I didn't belong there. When I said I had an appointment she looked at me strangely and then asked if I could wait. Didn't mention how long that wait would be, either. I said ok and she then said I could pick out my nail color. The entire time she had a nasty, condescending tone. After being stared at like a hawk by everyone in the salon I walked out. Never have I been made to feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome in an establishment, especially one that didn't look that nice, either. Will NEVER return!!! read more

When I made my appt for a man's manicure, price was 15$ . When checking out after 17 minutes from start to finish- at checkout she said 18$. I questioned it and she said spa. I guess spa means rubbing my hands with lotion. Cindy never asked me. Before I sat down I told her I want my nails buffed Shiney. She said ok... that never happened, she wanted me in and out. Very unfriendly, extremely dirty business. From windows to dirty towel as I sat down, to stains all over chairs, filthy ring holder, list goes on. Very dissapointed, will not return, will not recommend, eventhough its 5 min from my house. read more

I've been here twice now, once with the Groupon for the no chip manicure and spa pedicure and then a second time for their special pedicure. So far this is the best quality I've received for both manicure and pedicure! The special pedicure had probably a ten minute massage PER LEG as well as hot towels, several scrubs and lotions, the foot baggies around your heels, and a (actually very good) neck/shoulder massage at the end. I've never had such a high quality and extensive pedicure in my life. Furthermore, the no chip manicure was fantastic. They shaped my nails nicely, all the edges of my nails were painted (sometimes people don't get it all the way to the edge), and they had so many colors and shades for no chip I honestly was quite overwhelmed. I recommended this place to a friend and when she went she said it was also the best place she had been to, after trying many salons. Overall would highly recommend. Fantastic service, lovely women working there, and they give you excellent quality service. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped in today to treat myself for my upcoming birthday and I was not disappointed! The staff greet you immediately and do a great job. I love my big toe design-thank you! Also, a neck massage?!? I've been to a few different nail places and that was a great touch. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was recommended by a friend to come here and I went about 2 other times until just recently. This is my gel, "no chip" manicure that I just got done last week. I do not bite my nails. The paint just fell off on its own. I took a shower last night and some how my thumb nail just broke off. These are the worst nails I have ever had and I paid $50!! I'm so disappointed and never coming back. read more

I wanted to give their place a try because I tried their basic manicure before (it wasn't the best, but wasn't so bad) so this time I went for a no chip manicure and pedicure. Just wanted to say, I'm pretty bummed with the results. The lady didnt even cut off the little sides of my nail and were sticking out in the end. The nail polish looked like it was spilling out of the edges and even got some on the side of my skin! Basically didn't look neat and clean and when I asked her to try making it even, they lady kind of just looked annoyed and didn't ask how I feel to it. It was kind of an uncomfortable atmosphere. Would not recommend this place! read more

Good service, but the fish tank was filthy and overcrowded, I really feel bad for the fish

Friendly staff, very clean shop, and also sanitary. They have too many dip powder colors to count, with polish to match if you want your toes the same color. They also have tons of no chip and regular polish options. Prices are extremely competitive for the area, and the girl that did my full set today did an amazing job on them. She also offered a dip manicure instead of a full set since my natural nails were long and strong to begin with, although I still opted for my acrylics with tips. The shoulder massage at the end was a great surprise. I will definitely be back!! read more

Koi spa is awesome! I stopped in after another local nail salon gave me a terrible full set. Rena was amazing. I love her and her staff. All very professional. Her salon is well maintained and very clean. read more

Service is fine. Owner is rude. There are better nail salons in the area. This place is pushy for an up sale.

It was my first time visiting this salon and the technician decided to ask me how many weeks pregnant I was. I told her I had just had my baby. I was incredibly insulted. She then said "after I had my son, I was very fat too." When I left, she handed me my $5 tip back and told me to keep it. This woman was insulting on so many levels and I will be telling everyone I know how rude the employees are. read more

Came in around noon and everything was rushed. It was me and my mom and they didn't even do a full pedicure as requested. The lady literally cut her cuticles then tried to start painting her nails. No massage, hot towel or anything. When my mom noticed that I was getting something different even though we both requested the same service she stopped the lady. The lady was in such a rush that she went and Did another person's nails so we ended up waiting over an hour for someone else to come. The pedicure bowls don't have working jets. It's a mess. They rush everything and don't do a complete job. The liner for the bowl was torn. This was my first and last time coming here read more

Best local nail salon - would highly recommend! Always support hard working local businesses like this one
