Kairos Nail Salon & Spa - Riverhead (NY)

3 /5 Kiara Quinonez: I was assigned to someone named Lady and unfortunately it was a terrible experience. I had asked for ombre french nails and she said it was not possible with gel. I let that slide thinking fine i rather a solid color then a bad ombre and picked a pink and she was doing a terrible job that her colleague intervened and she said she can finish me up. The colleague who was named Lady G said the pink was too hard to work with and we should start from scratch (which I appreciated) but not only did that take a whole extra hour because she had to remove all the gel but she still had to reshape my nails and cut some more cuticles since my first girl did a terrible job. Im also confused why a salon has colors they find it hard to work with? Took me 3 different pinks to get one that was fine. Im giving 3 stars because I appreciate Lady G fixing it and staying (book with her for sure!) but my original girl was awful and besides saying no to a design i asked for did not pay attention at all and most likely would have let me left with a terrible manicure if Lady G didnt intervene. Pay attention with who you book because other girls i saw left with great manicures so i’d avoid booking with Lady.

3 /5 Natalia Bueno: I do really like this salon, their prices are reasonable and the staff is very sweet. However, I came to get dip powder on my natural nails twice. Both girls did great the only thing was that I found their gel polish to not be very reliable. Both time in less than two weeks the GEL POLISH was peeling. And I’m someone who makes sure they’re fully cured under the lamp because i absolutely hate when my gel polish peels. And it’s so disappointing that it happened both times. Both the clear gel polish and the color gel polish peeled on my first set in less than a week. And then I came and got a French and also within a week the white part of the French peeled along with the clear top coat that was also apparently gel polish. Again, I do like this salon but I cannot have my gel polish peeling in less than a week like that. On top of that the dip powder chipped on my current set which I have never had happen to me. I used to get acrylic for 4 years never an issue no problem granted I used a private nail tech but I thought with the dip powder on my natural nail I’d be good to go too but apparently not. The girls there are sweet and are very accommodating but the quality left much to be desired unfortunately.

5 /5 Nancita: I got my nails done on May 3rd and I asked for Pink and white acrylics. (I brought my own cherry charms so they can add it) It was my first time getting my nails done there. Adriana was my nail tech & she did a AMAZING job!! She was such a sweetheart and I was so impressed with the outcome on the nails. I kept getting compliments from strangers which made me feel so good about myself. I felt extremely please with with nails salon all together. It was clean, elegant & they played music which gave it a comfy vibe. I can’t wait to go back & get my nails done by her again. Thank you Adriana ❤️✨

5 /5 Kathy F: After many years of having my nails done I can honestly say I’ve found a place that does exactly what you want and does it really good. I don’t do any designs, but I like my nails to look perfect and Abby makes that happen. All the girls that work at Kairos are so nice and it’s always a great experience when I go.

3 /5 Tammy Van Aken: Visited this salon for the first time recently. Although everyone was very nice, I wouldn’t recommend this salon for a powder dip manicure. They must use inferior products as the top coat started peeling off after a few days and the edges started to chip. This never happens with powder manicures. Usually they last for 3 weeks. I guess the search continues for a new salon in the area.
