Kims Nails

On the plus side, the price is good ($ 35 for spa pedicure), but all in all it wasn’t great– quality wasn’t there. I was the only person in there at first. the girl doing my pedicure was actually really good, but when two walk-​ins came in, she got frantic and sped up and handed me off to the owner who actually did a terrible paint job– I touched it up when I got home. The polish was all lumpy and unfinished on the sides, and some got on the surrounding skin. When she finished, she put my flip-​flops on and literally like pushed me out of the chair lol… Also they’re lacking little things that other places have, like the massaging chairs and nail dryers (just have some fans positioned downward towards your feet). I have friends who go here and love it but I prob won’t go back.

I was worried about going here based on the other review and some others I had seen on another site, so I was going to go to another nail salon in East Haven near my job, but it was packed. I called a local business nearby who recommended Kim’s without reservation. I had Betty who gave me an awesome spa pedicure for $ 35 (included callous removal and parrafin). (Basic pedis are cheaper) However, I felt the need to report back because just like the other reviewer, I felt so uncomfortable in how the owner Kim treated her employees. She was screaming and yelling at one poor employee named Maria outside for some reason I couldn’t figure out – the door was open, so I could hear her beckon and then yell at this employee. Poor Betty was apologizing to me for this behavior. It’s a sad situation. I would go back, but Kim made the experience very uncomfortable. Maybe if she treated her employees with some kindness, they could earn her trust, and it would be a happier place to visit. Betty was lovely and did a great job.
