    Ombre nails with rhinestones
    Janice C.

    I been going to Nails By Kim for 17yrs already. I started going since I was 15 yrs old. Ive always get my nails done with Jenny, she's the owner. She's the sweetest, nicest person ever. Always does a really good job. Best part she makes you feel like family and always does an awesome job. Conversation's are always a good time.

    I just wanted my polish changed & this is how I left.

    Casually walked in for a simple finger nail & toe nail polish change. At first glance, I was not impressed by the look of the salon but since it was nearing 7pm & I was only getting my nails polished, I went ahead. It started off awful & went downhill from there. She filed my nails crooked, had to ask her to redo the. The nail polish job was so horrible that I had to ask her to take it off. Once she got to my toes; I decided to go with another color. She only polished the middle of my nail, didn't start at the nail bed & when I tried to show her how I wanted it by taking to nail polish jar, she told me "No". The color was beautiful, the job itself was just poor. She then asked if I wanted the same color of my hands, I said no thank you.

    I've been going here for 16 years. Jenny does a great job with my toes and nails. She's very well experienced and efficient. Her prices are decent and reasonable. If you request Jenny, you must call for an appointment because most of the time she is booked. I've read some reviews on how rude Jenny is, I have not experience that with her myself but what I can tell you is she won't kiss butt for your business. She's humble and keeps it's real. Her nail service is what I'm really there for.

    French mani on point.  I love this place!

    This is my regular nail place. They are fantastic. It's great to go to a place that knows you and remembers the service you always get. They are always accommodating and listens to whhat you want done. I highly suggest this place and their prices are great. They are open till 7pm so thats a bonus for people that work late!

    My nails were uneven

    I have came here for a while & I'm always dissapointed everytime . The ladies are rude , but this will be my last time coming here . I always get cut all over my finger nails and ughh I swear it hurts so bad & they always come out crooked and because of that I didn't tip the lady because I told her to fix it she didn't . I told her I'm bleeding & she kept going over my cuts and making me more in pain. I'm just done coming here ! She even rolled her eyes when I said thanks just because I didn't tip her & if you do come here only make an appointment with kim! Her employes suck & are not customer friendly .

    Came here Saturday pedicure and manicure bc we have Christmas party, the lady hurt my toe so much. Sorry but not going back again.

    Always go here with my mom, and all of them do a great job! If you're looking for a good cuticle cleaning, this is the place to be!

    Coming out of my Yelp hiatus just for this one. I'll start with the good: seemed clean, Trisha did…read morea great job on my pedicure. The bad: TL;DR 4 technicians and 2.5 hours later for basic services and subpar nails. *Made the appointments the day prior with whoever was available. The salon was unaware of who I was in reference to an appointment or what I scheduled when I walked in. When again sharing the services I needed, I also said we're doing nails that may require some experience (which was also mentioned on the phone when I made my appointment). I asked for builder gel with extensions, as they advertise they do and why I selected this salon. *My appointment started with a pedicure about 10-15 minutes after my appointment time. *I told the owner what nails I wanted. I waited another 15 minutes for the next nail tech after my pedicure was finished. When I finally sat down, I showed her the inspiration photo, she started to take my dip powder off, then abruptly stopped. I was told I need to wait another 10 minutes for a different technician. I finally get the next technician, she looks at my nails and my inspiration photo, and walked away within 60 seconds. She says nothing to me. *Another tech comes over (we're at the fourth tech in total at this point). He looks at my photo and is very unhappy. Tells me they'll break, which I know isn't true. So finally, I just ask to give me regular builder gel in a single color. I had to ask repeatedly to make sure my nails were uniform in shape and length. So, I didn't get the nails I hoped for, the nail job was shoddy, and it took 2.5 hours to get it done. And wait until you see the inspiration photo--it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Paramedical Tattoo Course If you are wondering about taking Shanelle's course; quit wondering and jump in. I can guarantee you will leave with not only the craft knowledge but an unwavering sense of purpose and intention! Shanelle is unmatched in energy and knowledge in this industry. I can NOT express enough that not only are you gaining the knowledge and hands on experience of this craft; you are filled with so much business knowledge and guidance that you will be successful with out a doubt. Shanelle takes the time to get to know you as a person, student and entrepreneur. Shanelle is able to accept you for your personal needs though quickly is able to support you in feeling confident and secure as a practitioner. Shanelle is an absolute TRIUMPH in every way! Her unwavering dedication, support and strength in presence of those around her leave me with no hesitation that what she says, she means. She is here to support us all from beginning to success. Much Love and Respect for this absolute treasure of a trainer is unmatched for style and knowledge. And she is the definition of BADDIE! I would be remiss to acknowledge Pita; who is the paramount example of effortless support and quiet determination. Pita acknowledged EVERYONES needs in such a strong yet unassuming way that the room felt smaller without her in it. Pita is also a wonderful example of showing by example; she's knowledgeable and competent in the craft as well. Pita is an absolute gem and BADDIE in her own right! Jenny happened to be with us as a trainer as well, go check her out @coverupbyjenny. She has amazing reviews and is a spectacular soul!

    Full disclosure: I am posting this 3wks after my visit, but began typing parts of the following…read morewhile still at the salon being worked on. I am adding onto it before posting. I did mention that I was dissatisfied before I paid and was offered a smol credit towards my next visit. I feel terrible writing such an awful review of the place because they are very highly rated (which is why I paid a visit) but I have to speak my truth. And the aim of this is to bring an awareness. I've been going back and forth about leaving a review this whole time. I'm disappointed. I expected more. I'd like to return because I AM impressed by their lineup of services offered/the cleanliness and everyone is friendly. With that being said, why wouldn't they have an exclusive lineup of highly & dynamically trained/skilled nail technicians performing services that will uphold the caliber of business The Beauty Plug aims for, on hand, for walk-ins and appointments alike... especially on weekends. thank u, love u. I received a Gel X Full Set w gel polish + "a design" - which was airbrush ombré with an outlined tip & a Gel Pedicure. - Gel X application glue was left with a lot of space where my natural nail was exposed under the gel x nail. If you know gel x you know what I mean. - Blotchy clear coat; not one nail has a smooth clear application. - Crooked nail application on my thumb. - No blending of the nail extension edges to my natural nail. - No consistency in size and placement of the extension. (Some are further over with my real nail exposed.) - After one week most started lifting from my nail bed. - Another tech had to pull away from her client to do a part of the service mine wasn't educated on. *COMING BACK TO MY DRAFT TO SAY THAT A FRIEND TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PRESS ONS* I wish I took pictures. But I had to get them thangs off. Those pedicure stations are very aesthetic but not made for luxurious comfort. I asked for her to trim my toe nails during my pedicure and she butchered them so short when she got to filing it started to be painful. Ending to say that I don't think this place is worth avoiding altogether, but I wasn't impressed enough to make it somewhere I frequent for nails because of my experience. Other services of theirs caught my eye too!
