Kevin’s Nails

I am very picky about my cuticles and nail care so they really blew me away with their work.
I take care of my own nails, but I needed to paint my nails and I suck at it so I got it done. They were quick, yet efficient. I know they had a bad reputation, but they are definitely shaping up.
I got my acrylics done by their new employee and he was amazing!
Make sure to treat yourself with a mani-​pedi here!
Pedicure massages are my weakness!
Ask for Danny!

Yikes! I am sorry to report I got a half-​leg wax for the first time, went into the waxing room for the first time, and it is SCARY! The sheet on the table had lots of dark dry crud crumbles on it! The rug looked like it had never been vacuumed. I was wincing the whole time since I was so disgusted. Then the wax was horrible. I have lighter finer hair, but it was very long and there were very obvious patches of hair that were not waxed off, all over my legs! Definitely not worth $ 25! Well, it was worth $ 25 to learn to just epilate myself, or splurge on a place where it at least includes a day at the spa. This was not the usual fabulous lady that does my nails… I like to think that she would do a great job, but based on the cleanliness of this room I will never try again! Nails only!

This is my second time at this nailshop. It’s a lady at this nailshop name Kathy real nasty attitude. She seemed to have gotten upset when I told her my grandbabies mani/​pedi was real being paid with real money. She begin to act confused about everything. I wanted a mani/​pedi for myself and granddaughter she seem to didn’t understand, then she was confused about the color then she didn’t know how to make a heart. It was too much. She was acting real nasty. Don’t worry Kathy I will nvr be back in your shop. If you can’t make a heart then don’t do nails. Whack ass.

Kathy was great. She tailored services to my needs and was very nice. This was my first visit and definitely won’t be my last. The environment was peaceful and relaxing.

I went in on November 20, 2015 in afternoon to learn they are using unlicensed people to do mani-​pedi. When I asked for license they got angry, where before they said they were opened then said they were closed and get out. One man pulled a license out a drawer and could not prove it was his. It is not a clean place and to make It worse Bhudda meet you at the door.
Unlicensed persons can cause serious problems cutting on you and not knowing sanitation, infections, amputations, etc. BEWARE.

Wasn’t a bad experience for me. The staff was friendly and efficient. They took great care of the job they did. I told them I was in a hurry and they did my full set and my pedicure quickly but efficiently. It is a tad bit pricey just a little but If your in a hurry it’s not a bad place at all

I have been coming to Kevin’s Nails for over eight (8) years. Not once have I experienced any of the horrible situations that I’ve read posted. Kevin, Kathy and the rest of the staff have always been courteous, respectful and professional from what I’ve witnessed.
At Kevin’s nails, I have had waxing, nails, gel nails, facials… and not once have I been disappointed. They are fast and good. They use the best products, not trying to stretch the polish or squeezing bottles while I have to sit and wonder «why the heck do these places start running out of product when they get to me?» as far as being pricey… I would rather pay a little more for the best and get going rather than pay for a cheap shoddy job. I get compliments all the time and questioned about who did my manicure, pedicure and these are my natural nails… Polish lasts over two (2) weeks.
It is good if you have an appointment, though they will take walk-​ins at their convenience which may not be convenient for you. We must remember he is running a business and you know what businesses do. You really do get your money’s worth and I would give them ten (10) stars if I could.

I used to be a regular customer with my Mother but we have found a better Nail Salon in Carson. Kevin and his sister Kathy are unprofessional. They do not greet clients when they walk in. When Kathy did my pedicures, she was rough and too fast. The end result were my toes were subpar but she rushed through appointments. Once, I asked Kevin where a trash can was and he got an attitude! On many occasions, Kevin embarrassed my Mom by saying her appointment was at another time then when they originally spoke on the phone. And when he makes mistakes, he does not apologize. Overall, DO NOT COME HERE!

This is one of the worst nail salons ever! I wish I didn’t have to leave the 1 star!!! The service is horrible and the woman who does the waxing just sucks! She is quick, rude & unskilled. She always leaves a lot of left over hair and she is messy! Try and tell Kevin that she messed up and the service is sub par and he becomes defensive and very rude! Like you craped off your own eyebrows and nails??? WTF! Anyway, service sucks! Do not go here! I tried his place multiple times and they always fell short! There are too many salons in the area to be bothered!!! Not worth your Money or time!

Last minute apt always and get right in… Manicure/​pedicure. Only, it works for my schedule.

There is a lot I could say about Kevin’s Nails…
1.They are rude beyond belief.
The last time I made the mistake in going to Kevin’s, I walked in the salon and found myself looking at employees who looked at me then looked away to continue with their conversation in the back. Once someone finally did get to me, I sat down and as the lady was putting my French tips, even though I asked for regular acrylic (I had never seen the white French tip so I didn’t know the difference) proceeded to talk on her cell phone !
2.Kevin’s is ridiculously over priced!
As I tried to explain that I asked for acrylic nails with white nail polish NOT white French tip acrylic nails, the employee that did my nails tried to charge me $ 30 and an extra $ 5 to fix her mistake ! It was ridiculous.
3.Incompetent employees with no skill.
At this point I began to cry because as I looked at the «clear» coating she had put on my nails, I began noticing as it dried it had taken on a blue-​ish tint around my cuticle. I pointed this out to her and she not only denied it but even gave me attitude claiming this is what I asked for. I began staring more and more and started to realize how crooked and uneven in length my nails were.
It sum, my experience at Kevin’s was horrendous. The point also being I DESPISE Kevin’s Nails. So please, save yourself the time, pain, and money and not go to Kevin’s Salon.

Hmmmm. I use to like this place, but the service has gone down. They rush thru everything, my pedicure took less then 20 minutes. I rather pay more for better service

Just experienced THE WORST treatment I’ve ever had at a nail salon. I walked in with the intention of a pedicure and gel colored hand nails. They told me my nails would look ugly because my nails were too short. I decided to go with their suggestion, try the acrylic nails (mind you I’ve had acrylic nails done in the past many times). I make it clear to him I want my nails short and thin, natural looking. At the time I’m sitting on the chair and the lady doing my pedicure is rough with my nails, and when I tell her how I wanted my nails she gave me attitude. I didn’t make it a big deal — I then started noticing the man doing my acrylic cut my nails too long, I asked to shorten them and told him the nails were cut uneven to my other hand. He said he’d fix them after – he continues to put the powder acrylic on and they looks hideous! They are lumpy and thick. I felt really bad and tears begin to roll down my face. They ask what’s wrong i told him i disnt like how he was doung them. They proceed to remove my nails. When he finally removes my nails I walk to the ATM machine and go to take money to pay for my pedicure and gel removal. Their ATM machine takes forever to work and they ask me, are you sure you have money is account!!! How rude! I finally get the money and they try and charge me for the ugly acrylics to. Long story short I WOULD NEVER EVER GO BCK AGAIN!

It was my sisters 18^th birthday and I wanted to treat her to some pampering. I wanted to stay local cause we had a busy day ahead of us. Little did we both know that we were getting ourselves into.
First off they are completely understaffed. After having our manicure done we waited about 30 min. to get gel polish. The lady who did our manicures «didn’t know how». (Completely absurd right?) Any who after waiting for what seemed like forever we were finally helped. The lady whose name escapes me did such a horrible job on my eyebrows & my sisters gel nails. She was rushing between helping both of us at the same time. She didn’t shape my brows evenly & still left hair. I was so angry I didn’t even get my gel polish done! I just wanted to leave. To go along with horrible service this place is extremely overpriced.
It’s safe to say I will never be back there again. If I have to drive another 5 miles to the next nearest salon so be it. I’d take that drive over poor service any day!

Scariest place on earth for nails! I’m sorry, I don’t care if you’re my kind and Vietnamese, but there needs to be change otherwise you guys will be out there begging for change. I called ahead and they quoted me $ 25 when I asked them for a «full gel set» and to come on in (I did 30 mins later) bc there wasn’t a wait. Upon arrival, there was already one customer for nails and me and then like ten workers? First of all, I previously went to The Nail Shop in Carson bc they are good (esp Lena!) but always packed and hard for me to get in. I was overdue on my fills bc of prom, out of town, etc so I decided to basically rip off my nails myself so you can imagine how short and out of shape they were. I was in the midst of growing them back, but missed having nice nails and The Nail Shop was overbooked so I decided to give Kevin’s Nail a shot. With the condition of my nails, you’d think they’d suggest or even understand that I should have some tips added before you paint my short scraggly nails with some gel polish. I was talking to the girl next to me and the worker who asked me 20 questions that I didn’t notice I was tipless. Instead of offering to re-​do, she said next time when I come in, ask for tips+gel. Also, this «mani + gel» cost $ 30, if I wanted tips, think it was another $ 18. The Nail Shop in Carson charges me $ 25 for a FULL set and so do most nail shops. My nails look like a 3 year old painted them, I mean really? REALLY???

Don’t go here! They lie to your face telling you one price and then telling you another once the job is done. Trying to say that the gel by itself is $ 30 and an additional $ 14 for pedicure! Complete bull****!!! I am never coming here again!

Loved the spent on my feet plus the price was great.

I have been coming to Kevin’s Nails for the last 4 years. The people there are great and take care of you. I enjoy getting a manicure and a pedicure. I also get my eyebrows and bikini wax. Love the place…
Thanks Kevin, Kathy, and staff for always taking care of me…
