Kims Nail Care - Palo Alto (CA)

1 /5 Camille Wray: Went to this nail salon in a pinch to get my friend and I’s acrylic fill set done. We had an appointment at 3:30p and wasn’t see until much closer to 4pm. With that being said, after we picked out colors and found out that on top of the $50 for a full set, it’s $5 for a gel color that was never even dried with a UV light. After we sat down to start what we thought would be a relaxing experience, she about files my friends and is nails off with how hard and FAST she was going. She then proceeded to ask about our nails length and when we showed her that we wanted coffin shaped nails that are a little longer than “short” and she immediately stated that it would be $15 up charge to cut less of the fake nail off. So if you’re keeping track, we’re at a total of $70 for each of us. I was about to walk out after I saw what was next... she then put the acrylic powder on our nails in 4 different uneven sections that made my nails looks worse than when I started. All together, I will have to say that this is THE worst experience I’ve ever had at a nail salon. We had such high hopes with it being in THE MIDDLE OF DOWNTOWN PALO ALTO, but I guess not. Save your money and go to San Jose for your nails. Not worth it. While she was nice, it doesn’t make up for quality

2 /5 lisa hinchman: I wish I could put a photo of my nails. I gladly spent $60 expecting my nails to look great for my niece’s wedding. Within 24 hours, three of the nails had broken off, despite that I was only attending social gatherings ( nothing hard on nails). Very disappointed.

5 /5 Natalie: I really enjoyed my experience at Kims Salon (now at 174 University ave). I got my gel nails removed and she and Tammy took time and care doing it. Will be back! The salon is also lovely, with nice wood finishes and is very clean.

5 /5 Hud Huynh: After months of searching for a nail technician Ive finally found her! At Kims Nail Care, Tracy is hands down the best and goes above and beyond to make sure she gets the job done right. You can really tell she takes pride in what she does, gets into those spots you mostly have to tell people to do and most importantly shes quick! Thank you Tracy for the beautiful nails and I will definitely see you soon!

1 /5 Allison Feinstein Negron: Overpriced and poor service. Only worth going to in a pinch. It felt dirty to pay $65 for a basic manicure/pedicure that took too long by an inexperienced “technician.” Given the competition, I’m surprised this place is still open.
