The salon itself was so dirty that I almost wanted to get up and leave. The floors and equipment were unclean. When I placed my hand inside the blue light to cure, I ended up with clear nail polish stuck to my fingers, leaving my hands feeling gross. They also charge an extra 2.5% for paying with a debit or credit card, so keep that in mind. While my nails did turn out looking nice, there are definitely cleaner, more relaxing places to go for better service. I would not recommend.

Eventually, another woman came to get me. I booked my appointment a few days in advance, so I wasn't expecting to wait outside, but I understand that the business was very busy. To preface, I enjoy getting pedicures, but I don't use polish or gel because I prefer not to have anything artificial on my nails. My service was done much sooner than everyone else who had been sitting in the chairs before I arrived, possibly because I didn't use polish or gel? The chair was comfy, and the person who did my pedicure was kind, but it felt rushed since someone else was waiting for a pedicure chair. While I enjoyed the experience, I didn't think it was worth $50 plus tip. Because it's so close to where I live, I'll likely give them another shot on a quieter day to see if the experience is less rushed.

I was luckily assigned to Lee. Lee brought my manicure inspiration photos to life and noticed the small details I didn't event realize were in my inspo photos! I came in wanting beach themed nails for a wedding and I walked out super super happy- I couldn't stop looking at my nails after she finished. I don't often get my nails done and I am grateful to how kind and patient Lee was with her recommendations for the nail art. She is super meticulous in all from shaping my nails to noticing the finest details of my inspo photos to checking in with me often if I liked the art that was in progress. I am definitely coming back to Kitchen Nail Bar MV for the next time I need my nails done for a special occasion. Thank you, Lee!

My pedicures with Lee are my one small self-care splurge. Her attention to detail, her gentle…read moretouch, and her customer service have me coming back for several years now. She cares about doing a good job, consistently every time. I used to come on my lunch break from work, and she would make the service fit in my truncated time frame. I recently switched jobs further away, but I'll be making time on my days off to come see her. Also wanted to say something about the young man who was answering phones today. He was perhaps a manager of sorts? Anyway, he was getting totally chewed out over the phone by some customer. Obviously I don't know the exact situation, but it's never okay to speak that way to any service provider! Kudos to him for keeping his cool, calmly offering multiple solution options, and ultimately speaking up (still politely) to let the customer know that they needed to tone it down.

As a bonus, they have a surprising big complimentary drink selection which is such a kind and delicious gesture! Coming in, I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. Jenni was amazing at helping me figure out what I wanted based on my lifestyle, budget, and the event I needed it for. She was incredibly meticulous and careful with my gel mani, including with the edges. No part of my nail was left unpainted, no part of my skin was accidentally painted, and the texture and shine were perfect. For my gel pedi, Peter was super thorough and kind! My nails held up perfectly for five weeks with absolutely zero chips or dents! Had I not been worried about just the look of the nail growth, I probably could have left them for another few weeks, even! I went back today for a new gel manicure, and Jenni's removal process was completely painless and gentle. Unlike some other salons, it was clear that Jenni placed a lot of thought and care into protecting my natural nail bed when removing the gel. Even though the salon was busy, she was present with me and I felt she was not rushing. Sitting there, I overheard her with other clients and was impressed by how much she remembers about everyone's lives, time commitments, and preferences. She is genuine and intentional with her relationships, taking all of this information into account to give her clients the best experience. All in all, this salon has a lot of heart (and quality)! I'll definitely be back regularly and for my wedding in a few months!!

So, I randomly drove out of my way to catch any available tech. CiCi was called over to help me. And the whole experience, from beginning to end was just so catered to me.

Dry gel manicure cost $60, but I was done in about 35 minutes even with a previous gel soak off. This is the type of service I'm happy to spend money on. I left feeling relaxed, relieved, and pampered. Thank you CiCi. And thank you to all the great techs working at Orchid Nails. You all do lovely work without much thought. Very refreshing experience.

I typically do not write this kind of review, but the service I received on 6/14 was unacceptable…read moreand I could not get over how it soured my day. I had a Groupon for a pedicure here, and upon reviewing their website noted that they had 20% off for their opening and that gel nails were 45, so even though I normally go to Enjoy Nails in Palo Alto I thought why the heck not, I'll go here this week. The establishment is fine, but the woman who greeted me was on the phone, and remained on the phone while she started my pedicure. Any semblance of a "heavenly" spa experience was gone. A second woman came later, who started my nails, filing them down to thin stubs. Then we moved to the table, at which point the woman that had been doing my toes (who by the way, didn't wear a mask the entire time I was there) began blow drying her hair right behind me. Unhygienic and unprofessional. The manicurist finished my hands, at which point both women wandered into the back, seeming unsure of what to do next. Then the pedicurist/apparent hair stylist in training walked out on the phone again, demanding 55. I explained that wasn't what was on the website, pulling out the list for them to see. She saw the listed price, then got back into a heated conversation on the phone, at which point she hands the phone to me, informing me that it's the owner. This woman is ultimately why I wrote this review. If you want to create loyal clientele at your new business, I wouldn't recommend yelling at them over the phone. Nor would I recommend trying to bargain: this is a business, not a flea market. She insists that the service I received (pictured below, as well as what I had asked for) was not gel, but dip, despite my initial request over the phone and in person for gel and that my total was 55. I again showed the menu, and the pedicurist woman took pictures of my phone for her boss, but she continued to yell at my that it was 55. Then she said she could do 20% off 55 for 45. That's just not even the correct math. I really just wanted to leave at this point, as I was tired of being berated and paid the 44 (20% of 55) plus tip. They only accept Venmo or Zelle, which is beyond sketchy. The pedicurist then apologized to me, saying that she has to call her boss because if they get the wrong price they get yelled at. Not only do the employees not know what the prices are, the owner is rude to them. I wholeheartedly do not support this establishment and will not be returning.

My nails look so clean, precise, and polished. Better than they've ever looked! Amanda explained every step and kept checking in to make sure I liked the shape and color, which I really appreciated. Especially since it was my first time getting russian manicure. The only thing is timing! This took about 3 hours vs my usual 1.5 for builder gel. I don't mind, but I wish I had a heads up, so definitely come prepared and plan your day around it. Also, booking is based on experience level and I chose a more junior tech, which is probably why it took longer. Next time I'd book with a higher master. I did get a small nick while they were cleaning my cuticle on one hand, which made me a little nervous, but they sanitized everything right away. They also started about 20 minutes late, but offered tea and chocolates which was a nice touch along with a gift bag since it was my first time at Yarco. Overall, amazing service and beautiful results. I already booked my next appointment and can't wait to see how they last!
