Ken’s Nails and Spa

Kevin did an awesome job! Second time here and it is my new spot. Very clean, friendly, great conversation!

Outstanding Place! Highly recommended! Super clean, gorgeous atmosphere, wide variety of color selections, average priced, friendly staff, and great customer service! Kevin, Amy, and Phong were all amazing.
Upon my first visit, There was an issue with the gel color I selected drying properly under the UV lamp. I was on my lunch hour and running short on time, so they offered a re-​do apt to me free of charge whenever I had time to come back.
I returned today, and selected a different color, which turned out beautifully. Amy also gave me tips on what brands of gel polish work best on top of acrylic nails which I really appreciated. It’s that kind of friendliness and attention to customer satisfaction that will keep me coming back.
This place is top notch!

The best, most friendly people. Danny started my nails and Ken finished them and it was fast and the price was great! Definately my new favortie place to go !

Not only were they friendly and kind but the man who did my nails took his time he did both my pedi and gel mani. I used the 10% off on Unilocal.The price was kinda pricey but they were the only ones open at 9am on a Monday. I love the job he did !!! I’ll be back

Even if you are desperate do NOT go to this foot spa. There is a terrible energy with all of the nail techs. 3 even got in a verbal argument, in their language, during my 45 minutes there. The toxic smell was too much, air quality would be a 2 out of 10 for breathable levels. The tools used did NOT come from a sterile bag but instead a bucket that they use over and over. If the board of health visited this establishment they would be immediately shut down and fined.

Great little spot next to flower child. Clean and gorgeous inside. All employees were so nice. The woman who did my nails, I didn’t catch her name, but she was so nice and great! The deluxe pedicure with the citrus scrub smells fabulous. Great color options to pick from. Lots of tvs to watch too.

Excellent Service! I called last minute and they took me right in — had a full gel set with pink powder French tip and the classic pedicure with the callous remover really smooth results! And yes, I got a flower on the pedi

Great place… They do a wonderful job they make you feel more like a spa then an in and out fast food restaurant. They take time to massage and my nails just last and feet for so long with the polish on.

I went here because of the positive Unilocal reviews and they were able to schedule my friend and I for a mani-​pedi appt right away (went early afternoon).
My friend got great service… I did not. There was an assumption made on the package I was purchasing and once I notified that I was not, the associate assisting me became rude, which was awkward since we were going to be in close proximity for the next hour or so.
I give 2 stars for the time efficiency (they were quick — only about an hour for a mani/​pedi) and for the service my friend received. My gel mani has bubbles and specks sealed into the nail polish. It’s nothing to noticeable, but definitely brings quality into question. I may try this place again… but I’ll search elsewhere first. The inconsistent service makes me very hesitant, as well as the awkward and uncomfortable experience.

Normally, kens is good… But after tonight I won’t be back. It looks like a 7 year old did my nails!!!
And they were 30 minutes late for my appointment!

Simply put, they do good work and the place is generally packed.
Second visit, I was bored and counted… they have over 23 people working there. You are able to use the 10% off Unilocal check in each time. Still 3 stars. The reason for the missing 2 stars is the missing spa element, it doesn’t feel pampering and relaxing. More like a number, in and out ya go! The person doing my nails cut my finger and did not even offer an apology. Unfortunately they ask for payment before your nails are painted and I tipped $ 5 too early. My search for a nail salon continues…

Excellent service with a smile! Mother frequents and loves it. The salon is clean and prices are reasonable.

I’ve been coming to Ken’s for my eyebrows and lip for a while now (probably 3 years)! It’s always super quick, done very well, and they’re respectful of what I ask for. I don’t ever feel like they get too thin, as opposed to other nail spots to come and get your wax services, which is what I get afraid of. $ 17 total for lip and brow– and when compared to other spots it’s a steal!
It always seems clean and up kept, and they must do great nails because it is always packed with people getting their mani’s and pedi’s.

I’ve been here a few times now and it has always been a pleasant experience, I usually get a normal mani/​pedi regular polish. This time I decided to go a little more crazy and I got a full set acrylic tips, almond shape, in a nude matte gel. Jimmy was doing my nails and he did an amazing job! I arrived around 6PM on Friday without a reservation and was seated right away. My pedicure was great, as always (I just get the basic), and Jimmy spent a lot of time on my nails, making sure they were shaped how I want them, and giving me the exact color I was looking for. Definitely recommend!

Amazing service! My nail technician was very friendly and nice. Plus they have an array of great colors to choose from. She took her time and really made it her mission to make my nails perfect. She shaped and cleaned up my nails and took her time with the gel. I will definitely be going back and might make this my new favorite spot. I highly suggest making an appointment or going earlier in the week, they can get very busy.

The staff was fabulous. Super accommodating and friendly. The squeezed 3 of us in for pedicures without appointments, no problem. Offered us hot tea and water. The techs were very skilled and so friendly and made the experience extra fun!

I recently relocated to the Scottsdale area from Houston, Texas and am frantic about finding a new nail salon. I searched and searched through Unilocal and decided on Kens due to the 4 star rating and number of reviews.
I thought I would beat the rush by arriving at about 915a but little did I know the place was already packed. However I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my pedicure started a out 10m later. They had a huge color selection for both gel nails and regular polish.
Mimi was my tech and did a great job an my pedicure and good on my manicure. I noticed some bubbles when I got home… and that’s why the four stars… would have done 4.5 bc had I noticed while I was there I would have asked her to fix them but I was to busy getting deets on a threading salon.
I will def be back!

New to town and was looking for a new regular nail spot to go to. I read great reviews about this spot so figured I’d give ‘er a go. I get gel manicures regularly and they typically last about 2 wks max. I am currently 2.5 going on 3 wks with a gel manicure from this place and it still looks FABULOUS. i will DEFINITELY be back :) :) :)

Liked the place overall. There are plenty of workers so you won’t wait much with walk ins. Staff is friendly. Place seemed clean. I liked Cindy, who did a nice job. The hand massage lasted 15 seconds… other than that her technique was great.

I just moved to Phoenix from Los Angeles and was looking for a great nail salon to replace the amazing girls i had in Cali. I searched Unilocal and this place came up with a lot of reviews and a 4 star average so i decided to give it a try. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!! I am not rich by any means but I dont mind paying more than the average for a job well done. I asked for a fill and pedicure and walked out with a very POOR gel manicure, a color I think is grotesque and a pedicure a 7 year old can do. The gel on my nails was applied unevenly and the color reminds me of some Disney princess character. I asked for a light nude pink matte and got sleeping beauty glitter rain. My pedicure is embarrassing, i have to look for a different nail shop to fix this before I can even think of wearing open toe shoes. The guy who did my nails has apparently only worked there a couple of days and dresses like a gangster and talks like one. When I went to pay (mind you, not ONCE did he mention prices for anything) they had the audacity to charge me $ 60!!! I wanted to cry. I have attached pictures of the worst job I have ever had done on my nails. I just started a new job in Phoenix and I am not comfortable showing my hands. I would have fought it but i will simply take my money else where, they dont care anyway.

Terrible… if you can not do the pictured nails say so or get someone who knows how to do the TWO half jeweled nails… hate hate hate them and now will have to get them redone. Waste of money!!! Nails still rough on end and cut one nail too short… only reason I came was bc of reviews. My girl is on vaca. Puppy mill store felt like cattle. And no 10% Unilocal discount either

Ken & Cindy have been doing my acrylic nails for years, they do a great job. Their pedicures are always thorough as well. They have a great selection of gels & polishes. Great job!

My 5 star review is for Cindy. She literally is my nail goddess & makes my nails perfect every time (we all know how hard it is to find someone that can do that). I like long acrylics, usually coffin mostly but also almond/​stiletto occasionally. She’s literally amazing. Go see her!
They have seasonal gel colors too which I love since I’m super picky. They also have the matte top coat .
And for pedicures, it’s always someone different. I get the most expensive one and it’s usually amazing. Love love this place, my only nail salon. Oh and tip twice what you usually would!!! The service is worth it.

I like going here and try to go here often as they do also offer a punch card for every time you get your nails done by them.
One complaint I have is for a nail tech that was standing beside the cashier waiting to hear what she would be tipped. At that time, I was splitting payments on each card and therefore was including tip with both cards as well. So of the total services that I had, I was going to give a $ 10 tip which I was doing 3 on one card and 7 on the other card on top of the mani/​pedi charges. When I said put 3 on one card, the technician who was standing there, let out a chuckle feeling insulted but yet not realizing i was actually giving her the full 10 when i was done with the transactions. When she realized what I was actually doing in the end, she let out a big thank you and a smile. While I understand the frustrations behind not being tipped well, its best not to judge the situation, especially when the transaction had not even been completed yet. It is completely unprofessional and I actually felt somewhat humiliated being assumed that I am a cheap tipper. Because I felt so turned off from that situation, I have actually decided to take a break for a while.
Other than that, I enjoy the services, the technicians do a great job with the nails, but I choose not to give my business for a while after being insulted from that one tech.

This is the only place that I will go to get my nails done. I always get a fill + gel. A little more expensive but totally worth the extra price (nails last 3 weeks!) Amy and Kevin always do a fabulous job. Both are attentive to detail and Amy is very engaging with the customers! I always ask for color recommendations and have yet to be disappointed. Don’t forget to check in on Unilocal for 10% off.

oh em gee, I was in foot massage heaven at Ken’s! Any nail salon that gives a great foot massage (i.e. longer than 2 minutes) will surely see my face again! That IS the way to my heart! All in all, my mani and pedi at Ken’s were just what the doctor ordered. They have comfy pedi massage chairs, a variety of pedicures to choose from and a cool, raised «bar» for manicures. Since it is in the neighborhood, I will most definitely be back soon!

Really great place! I came in to get a fullset with almond shape nails. The job was great and I’ve rn ever had my nails this well done! Definitely coming back!
The only thing is… it’s a really small salon and they are really busy during the weekend. They have a lot of nail tech running around. I went to wash my hands and got ran into nail techs left and right. Some didn’t even move so I could get through. They should really place their nail colors away from the reception area as people are in the way all the time.

I love coming to Ken’s! Service is always quick, and my manis and pedis last a long time. Plus, pricing is incredibly good (gel manicure is only $ 30…you can’t beat that for the quality!).
They do take reservations, but you can also walk in. I’ve done both, and have never waited for more than 10 minutes, even on the weekend.
Two (beautifully manicured) thumbs up! :)

Super happy with the experience. I used to go to top design nails on 16^th St and they are not good the rush their work and don’t even try and talk to you. What a difference once I came to ken’s! People who actually like doing their job and are nice about it. It shows on the great job they do and how great they pay attention to detail. My new nail place !

Came here with a friend. The place is very busy, but the people are still friendly and patient. Jenny and Jimmy did our mani-​pedis. Love the assortment of color options! Coming from out of town, Jenny was very helpful and was persistent in ensuring I was happy with my nail design. Jimmy’s artistic abilities are amazing! The designs are unique and very impressive. His attention to detail and patience is worth any distance traveled. The location is very clean and inviting. I would recommend this place to anyone. During my visit, clients of all ages, men and women were coming in. Would probably suggest an appointment, but they welcome walkins and are very quick to get you taken care of.

Excellent service with a smile!
Went with my mother, daughter and we had a relaxing experience. The salon is clean we’ll run and reasonable for the services offered. Thank you Kens we will come back:)

First time customer at Ken’s, I read the reviews and thought I’d give it a shot.
I went in and asked for a pedi and gel full set. He listened to what I asked to have done and they did my pedi and nails at the same time. I’m not sure why but I felt he rushed through it and didn’t care to see if my nails were even like most nail techs do.
He didn’t clean up the excess gel under my nail so I have clumps and some gel on my cuticle. I had to come home and fix the shape. I wish I could’ve gotten a more patient tech to do my nails.
As for my pedi it was great she did such a good job on my toes and the massage was amazing! Didn’t get her name but I will definitely come back for a pedi here, not too sure about my nails though.

This place USED to be «okay». Now it sucks. I came here based in the Unilocal reviews, but it was a mistake. Came here some 4 times with hopes, but nope! Got worse! Service is average, the place is small and often crowded and slighlty loud. The pink and white gels used to crack alot, and was never evenly filed. Last time I went there I asked for polish, she was upset it wasn’t gel and looked at me funny thereafter. Anyways, there’s the pics for memories. Oh, they weren’t happy with me for sharing the fact that there was a 10% off coupon online at Unilocal if you checked in.
Odd.
Oh and;
Picked a color that was only available in gel but the lady told me it wasn’t available in reg polish. She didnt help me to find a similiar color, then painted my nails in a horrible rush.
