Although it was really none of her business where I lived, I said I lived in Kensington. I felt socio-economically profiled. Before she began a haircut one time I handed her a tip envelope. She mimed putting it in her pocket and walking away. That seemed unprofessional, immature. During another haircut, a male employee sidled up to D and said snidely, 'Are you going to tell him about the hole?' He was referring to the the thinning hair on top of my head. Wow. Unbelievably rude. During the last time I saw her in June, I was trying to show her a picture of me on my mobile. I couldn't see it well without my glasses. Suddenly, she thrust her hand under the apron cape and groped around for the glasses in my breast pocket. That felt aggressive, invasive. These people don't deserve my money.

I asked for a Hibiscus flower design on my toes and my hands, they couldn't get it right, and I told them I didn't like it after I saw them. 2 of the ladies then got mad at me because I didn't say anything sooner, which I understand, I struggle with anxiety thats why I hesitated. They yelled at me and almost made me cry. I told them to just leave it but they insisted on fixing it but I ended up just giving up on my hands because they couldn't do the flowers. They charged me $125 for the entire service. Sadly, I don't think I'll come back again. (The reference has 5 sides while they only gave me 3..)

I often get nail art and it always exceeds my expectations. They do not offer gel x, but do have acrylic, dip, and gel. They also do not take walk ins. It's by appointment only. I have never gone in and waited more than like 5 minutes for my appointment time. I appreciate the quality of work and the speed they do it in. This is not a fancy shop though. So don't expect a mimosa or a Coke Zero. Just expect quality work, a cute set, and someone sensitive to your time. ETA: I forgot to add, I've been going consistently for a few months and have never had a nail pop off. I broke a nail once, but that was my doing.

Diane never fails! Absolutely love my nails!!

Was looking for a new place to get a pedicure. I don't do it often and am a bit picky!…read more I live close by and decided to look into Kosmo Nail Bar. I read reviews and they're mostly great! I made an appointment online. Very easy. Picked which pedicure I wanted, any extras etc. they let me know that I would be emailed or texted to confirm which they did. Parking is ample and plenty! I parked right across from the salon. Upon entering it smells divine!!! Like lavender and lemongrass.. not sure what it was but it was so good ! Clean, elegant and quiet too. Not too big, not too small. My nail tech was Kristy. I showed her a picture of the toenail polish design that I wanted and she said "ok, I can do that for you". I chose the full moon pedicure that includes scrub, cream, paraffin wax and a 20 minute massage. It was wonderful and well needed !!! Kristy then began the nail polish and design. She took her time and even then she was quite fast. The design came out exactly as I'd asked. BEAUTIFUL!!! I was so happy and let her know. Kristy was kind and friendly throughout and so was the front desk assistant. There's an ATM inside for cash tip. I asked Kristy if she had other payment options (for tip only) and she shared her Venmo handle with me. Overall I was very very happy!! I found my new pedicure place and will definitely be back!!!

I was used to my previous tech who really took his time on my pedicures, but Kosmo is doing the job.
