    I love my nails!!! Martha is so talented and sweet. She takes her time when she works on your nails and uses really nice products. I really like that it is a private setting also and you get one on one attention without feeling like just the next customer. She gets into the nitty gritty if your feet need it! A big plus for me Must book an appointment! She is the best!

    Cute, Quaint and Chic. Greeted by Ms. Martha with a choice of tea, water or soft drink. The selection of gel colors available is immense! The detail put forth in every mani/pedi is superb! I love this place! Best bang for your buck, AND they speak English! Love, love, love it!

    Ready for the holidays ;)

    I have a new nail spot. Martha squeezed me in at the last minute and gave me the best gel manicure I've ever had. I'll definitely return.

The owner/tech agreed, but told me to return in 30 mins. She asked me to leave my number and she'd call when they were ready. When she called at 6:39, the same guests from earlier were still inside. She started the water for me, then continued to work on the other two guests. I was waiting in a foot bath from 6:40 to 7:10 before my pedi actually started. Had she been honest about the hour long wait, I could've made an informed decision to wait or visit a different salon. My polish came out fine; however, the space and equipment didn't feel clean, which was especially concerning because she CUT ME TWICE. One was deep enough to draw blood. During our small talk, I learned that this location has been around for 15 years, and it seemed like nothing had been updated since. Walls, floors, chairs, and towels all looked dull and tired, not exactly inspiring confidence in their services. After underestimating the wait time by 30 mins and being rough enough to cut me twice, she asked for a tip THREE times. When I simply paid the $47 + $1 card fee, she immediately looked at the receipt and said, verbatim, "wait, no tip?" Kim's Nails & Spa lacks even a modicum of cleanliness, gentleness, or etiquette. It's not even about the money, but if it were, there's plenty of other salons where $47 will get you a clean space and a nail tech that doesn't cut you or aggressively solicit tips. What was supposed to be a relaxing pedicure turned into a painful, stressful experience.

I've tried many places over the years and eventually they all start cutting corners and often start doing things (like taking off gel with a drill and leaving my naturally strong nails feeling thin and brittle) that made me choose to not get my nails done for a long time. So this year when I decided to start treating myself and chose a place that put my nail health in jeopardy, I immediately stopped and found Kali Zoi. Luckily they are nearby my son's school, so I made an appointment online very easily for right after drop off. Priscilla contacted me prior to my appointment, since I had asked for nail art, for some ideas. When we met, we hit it off and I've been happily pre booking ever since

It lasted like 55 min and they used lots of different essential oils, aromatic body scrubs, massage, rose petals in the water. I had never done this and will definitely come back. Emily was assigned to me, she was awesome. Quality was A+, I can't complain about anything because it was perfect. I had mentioned in our reservation that it was my friend's bday and they sang Happy Bday and gave him an aromatherapy bomb bath as a gift. What an amazing touch. We were really surprised. Place is located in the heart of Mission Valley, lots of parking in the shopping place and super clean and elegant. Price was perfect for the service. Found my new Nail Lounge!
