Kims Nails

Well I’m new to the area and was not sure of a place to go so, I took to Unilocal to find the closest place to my job that was open after 6. Kind of tough to find normally! Well, Kim nails popped up and I noticed they were open until 7 and right across the street from my job. Took a chance, gave them a call, and set an appointment. When I got there I told them I wanted a fill and they sat me right down and started. I sat with Michelle and she was very light handed and did everything I asked without hesitation. I am a pretty quiet person when it comes to getting my nails done because I observe the whole process, she did not once make me feel unwanted or uncomfortable. She was really nice and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend asking for her if you are going in to get some acrylic nails, she is amazing. She is there 5 days out of the week as well

I have been going to a single nail tech for about 5 years, well she is off on maternity leave and so I stopped in here. I explained to the girl doing my nails that I was very picky about my acrylic nails. I showed her a pic from pinterest of the nail design I wanted. They did not have that many gel colors and I settled on a color I thought might work for my breast cancer awareness design. Then she started to do my nails. She was terrible. I kept asking her to do things over and again, and she did, but I finally gave up. My nails were lifting before I even left! Then she shipped me off to another tech to do my polish. I showed her the design as well and she said she could do it. It was just pink on 3 nails, white with pink dots on one and then silver with a pink breast cancer ribbon on the middle finger. It came out terrible. I was so disappointed and it was $ 45! A week later, my nails started to lift like crazy, so I just took them off. My nails with my other girl lasted 4 – 5 weeks between fills. Don’t waste you money on this place!

I Love Julie for my gel manicure and Jennifer for Pedicure both sweet and good at what they do. Jennifer is very funny too :)

My $ 25 gel manicure was chipped and peeling after 4 days. I also got switched around to a different manicurist half way through. Never going back.

I really enjoy coming here. There are several friendly faces and a very warm welcome when I come here. I always make my pedicure appointments with NU! She is the best! And even when I forget to make an appointment she still tries her best to squeeze me in. I just started getting my eyebrows done by Kim and she does a great job! She always does a REALLY great job on my gel manicures too! Very thorough! She takes her time and does it right! Just like NU does on my feet! You won’t be disappointed!

Terrible in every way. I got a full set and she took forever and they didn’t even look good. My nails are uneven and she cut me multiple times and kept filing over the areas that were bleeding and she didn’t even apologize for cutting me. I also got a pedicure and it was really rushed. I will never go back there and make sure I tell all my friends and family to not go there either.

I started going to see Van about 10 years ago. Never had any issues or infection from any of the gals. She knows what I like and also does something great. My pedicures are great as well. My daughter and granddaughter go here as well and love it.

Went in for French gel manicure. Price $ 30. Reasonable for the service. But I did not receive the hand massage or and lotion on my hands and for arms. They were quite busy and I was rushed out. I gave the girl $ 40 and asked for change. She brought me two 5 dollar bills, assuming I was going to give her a $ 5 tip. Normally that is what I tip for a FULL gel manicure, but she did not finish. I was quite offended that she was choosing the amount of her tip. I will not be returning.

I just moved to Riverside and was in need of a new nail salon. I walked into Kim’s Nails this morning and was greeted and asked to come back at noon. I showed back up right at noon and was greeted by the same nice lady, her name is Anna. I had so much fun getting my nails done, all the ladies that work there are very friendly and engage in conversations with the clients, I even got to know all the names of the ladies that work there and met some of their regular clients who have been going there for 15 years plus! I told Anna that I am a very loyal customer and if she did a good job today, that I will be back and be one of her regulars… Anna did an amazing job! I will be back and will continue to have Anna do my nails and pedicures! I highly recommend Kims Nails if you are looking for great customer service and great looking nails!
Thanks for reading!
Teresa or as Anna prefers to call me Reesa :)

LOVE, LOVE, Love the ladies that work here. My mother and I have been coming here for nearly 10 years now. Van always does my mother’s nails and Julie always does my pedicure. The salon is always clean and every one is very friendly.

Wow! I just must be the lucky one who goes here and has excellent service! Everyone here is always so nice. I try to make an appointment because usually they are busy. My pedicures have always been fabulous and my gel coat nails last forever! I am really surprised to see negative reviews. Nu is THE BEST when it comes to pedis! I love her!

I have been here twice now, the second time was worse then the first, they will get your nails done but don’t expect them to be gentle, and I this time I asked for a specific color because I did not see it, they assured me they had it and then did not when it came time to paint my nails. I was frustrated because I needed the color to match, they actually mocked me and then did a terrible job when I just had them do clear polish. I will not be back.

I enjoy going to Kim’s nails. Whenever I come here, I feel welcome. Many of the women say hello to me and ask me how i am doing. They know my mom and sisters and they always ask about them too. They give a great mani and pedi and eyebrow wax. I highly recommend you try them out.
Godspeed

Have been going to Kim Nails for 10+ years and have always been extremely satisfied. I get my pedicures (she does the best foot massage) from NU and my nails from Julie. These ladies are both professional and always make sure you are satisfied with the service. Post is by Dee R…

Bad experience! Had a mani &pedi this weekend. My pedicure nail color was not fully coated. My gel manicure started chipping within an hour from leaving the salon!!! The lady took over 2.5 hours to get both done even when there was no waiting time! I was charged a $ 1 for using a debit card. The excessive use of their foreign language gave me a headache (no offense)!!! A salon is supposed to allow you to relax not feel annoyed! I will never return to this location again.

French tips started chipping off the next day… Really? Invest in a better top coat please.

Tina did my pedicure and my wax. She was awesome. She kept checking to make sure I was okay. She followed my eyebrow wax with a facial massage. She also would stop and have me look in the mirror so she could explain what she was getting ready to do. In addition, I told her I wanted my callouses removed. She said, «You really don’t have any. Why don’t you just get a sea salt scrub? It is cheaper and will make your feet, as well as your legs nice and soft.» I really appreciated the honesty and the thorough job.

I only go to this nail place because it’s the closest to me. They had horrible reviews on their previous Unilocal profile until they had to create this new one. I decided to look past those reviews and give them a try anyway. I’ve always had mediocre experience here, and not until last friday had the worst experience in this nail salon!!! I had this heavy-​set, tall lady with very short hair, she might be the owner or manager. The whole time during my pedicure she did not say a single word to me — i would not mind that as much if she just did the job i’m paying them to do but Nooooo… She was talking to every other customer around me while doing my pedicure — she wasn’t even looking at what she was doing!!! I asked her to cut my nails and file it square and she did it halfmoon instead (i let that slide) and two of my toe nails are UNEVENLY filed on the right foot!!! She missed to paint almost all the sides of my toe nails, so in other words the sides of my nails had no color! she just painted the parts of my nails that were visible to her eyes!!! So then i brought it to her attention and SHE WAS NOT HAPPY!!! She immediately rolled her eyes and started talking in her language, i then heard her workers laughing (maybe at me) as she went and got the nail polish. She got back and started filling in my nails but she started putting the WRONG COLOR on top — she immediately went back to get the right color and put the right color ON TOP of the wrong color she put on!!! She did not even just redo my nails!!! She just put color after color after color so now I’m left with chunky nails!!! And on top of all this, she left nail polish all over my skin!!! I had no time to argue with her anymore because she was just unbearable and i didn’t think it was necessary to stoop down to her level!!! The whole time all this was happening she was talking in her language (her employees laughing looking at me) and rolling her eyes on me as she filled in the color pushing my feet left and right like a child!!! SOOO RUUUDE!!! To them, I may just be one customer lost, but to me they’re just another nail salon, and if they keep treating customers this way soon enough they will no longer be «just another nail salon»!!! Will never come back and will NEVER recommend this place to anyone at all!!!

Ask for michell she does beutilfull nails i love mines :)

Pedicure was ok… kinda disappointed that there was nail polish on my skin on most toes… when she put in my flip flops she totally amused one toe and wasn’t going to fix it!!! I pointed it out and then she just painted over it… So it was all bulgy and not pretty!!! :(can’t go back again!
