She's detail-oriented, talented, and my nails always come out looking beautiful while staying strong for weeks. For my pedicures, I always go to Sammi, and she's just as amazing. She's thorough, gentle, and makes every pedicure feel relaxing and refreshing. The salon itself is always clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. The staff is friendly, professional, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. If you're looking for a salon with talented nail technicians, a great atmosphere, and consistently excellent service, I highly recommend this place. Jenny and Sammi have earned a loyal customer in me!

Been coming a few times over the past few months for pedicures and gel x sets, noticed that each…read moretime I came, the quality seemed to decrease. Went in today for a gel x removal since I have a tendency to remove them myself, I decided i'd do it in a healthier way for my nails but the experience was not great. The technician used a double-bowl soak method with warm water but didn't offer to apply a protective barrier like Vaseline or oil to my hands first. (I am used to nail shops using the foil and cotton method so this was new to me) Because my bare skin was left completely unprotected in warm acetone, it caused some chemical dehydration. The skin on my fingertips is now dry and peeling. On top of that, the actual service was rushed and sloppy. My nails were filed completely slanted and unevenly and my nails were stripped of their natural oils. She did apply cuticle oil after she was finished, but then had me immediately wash it off with soap. By the time I came back to the table to get my things there was already another technician sitting down to take a client. When it came time to pay, the technician seemed surprised because I chose not to leave a tip. Tipping is for good service, not for a rushed job that leaves a customer with uneven nails and peeling, damaged skin. I'm grateful that I have a pretty strong nail bed naturally, but this could seriously damage someone with sensitive nails and skin. I will not be returning. --------------------- update in response to the owner: Thank you for admitting the filing was rushed and uneven. While it is standard practice, full submersion soaking is seen as an older method that can be harsh to nails and skin, it's not the best and was obviously used to save time. Especially since I've had a gel pedicure removed here before and a different nail tech used the foils and cotton. And while everyone knows tips are never required, the technicians change in tone and body language when no tip is selected is definitely a way to deter customers. Thank you for taking some accountability so this doesn't happen to guests in the future.

Hana was gentle, detail-oriented, and gave an amazing massage. She checked in throughout the appointment to make sure I was comfortable, which I really appreciated. Tim was quick, efficient, and did an excellent job with my cuticles. I also appreciated his recommendation to try Gel X since it may help with my gel polish allergies. I'll definitely be back to try it with him. The salon itself is clean, spacious, and has good air circulation. The massage chairs are also very comfortable and seem to have been upgraded, which made the pedicure even more relaxing. Overall, I loved how efficient they were without sacrificing quality. My nails turned out great, and I'll definitely be back!

This was probably my fourth time here to Kitchen Nail Bar. I had came here alone maybe twice and…read moreone of the last times with my best friend for a nail day. The previous time where we came here together, we had an amazing nail spa day with sweet nail ladies, so I'm not sure what happened here this time around. My best friend was in town and wanted to get our nails done, so we came here last Friday morning. We booked a mani and a pedi. We checked in and didn't have to wait long for Mymy and Tina to start on our toes. Honestly, our whole pedicure experience well because our ladies were nice and just did their jobs. Here comes the bad part of our experience of when we were getting started on our manicures. We had originally booked two gel pedicure and one gel manicure and one gel builder. We asked if they can do gel builder for both manicure, which they said yes but one of us would have to wait 15 minutes which we said we were fine with. I had Tracy who started on my nails first and for the most part, she was quiet and just did her thing, which I preferred. Sadly, my best friend got Kandy who at first asked my best friend what she wanted for shape and length with the builder gel. My best friend told her she wanted to do a short almond shape. Kandy told her if she wants to do that then she would have to do a longer length, so my friend agreed and said a medium length is fine. I don't think Tracy or Kandy knew this, but we are Vietnamese and can understand everything that is being said!! Because Kandy later proceeded to complain in Vietnamese the ENTIRE manicure about how she doesn't know how she's going to my friend's nails because of what she picked, how she's going to be stuck doing it for a long time, how my friend "insisted" on doing this and how my friend's nails/fingers aren't straight and keep swerving. Tracy was fine for most of my manicure, but there was a couple times she would agree and say "yeah, this lady's fingers too". Halfway through, my best friend and I just stopped talking to each other because I was getting so annoyed of Kandy's complaining. I wished she would've just told us she couldn't do my friend's nail so we could've had another nail tech who would've been happy to do it. I didn't say anything because it was my first time seeing my best friend in months and she really wanted to get her nails done, so I bit my tongue but her complaints started giving me a headache. After Tracy was done with my manicure, she asked me if we were paying separately or together. I told her together, so she punched in the numbers and gave me a total of $295. I gave her $300 in cash and was going to ask for change, but I heard her saying in Vietnamese about how she had little to no change. By the time I looked up after I paid, she had left the table. **I turned over to my friend and told her I had a headache, so I was going to wait outside in the car. I gave her cash to tip everyone after she's done telling her I overheard Tracy saying she didn't really have any change, so my friend can ask her nail lady for change.** When my friend was done and came out 15 minutes later, she told me Tracy came up shocked and complained about how I walked out and didn't tip on a $295 service and how she couldn't believe it - repeating it over and over. I wished she would've waited until my friend was done with her nails, so she could've seen that we were going to tip... My friend said they were a little nicer when she pulled out the cash I gave her to tip, but the whole experience put a really bad taste in our mouths. I won't be back here again.

I was very polite throughout the appointment…read moreand repeatedly asked if the shape of my nails could be corrected but unfortunately my concerns were not addressed. I specifically asked for a square shape but the corners were cut off and one of my toes was also noticeably crooked despite me pointing it out several times during the service. I spoke with management afterward to see if there was anything they could do to make the situation right. Unfortunately the only resolution offered was 10% off a future service. Even with the discount my horrible pedicure was still over $80 which I don't feel reflects the quality of the service I received. This is a very expensive nail salon and I would be willing to pay their prices if the quality and service matched. Unfortunately that wasn't my experience. I appreciate that management took the time to respond to my concerns but I was disappointed that they weren't willing to offer any resolution beyond a discount to return. I personally won't be returning even with the 10% discount and I would advise no one else to come here as well.
