Wonderful experience. Ask for Lee (mani) and Amy (pedi). They did such a wonderful job and they weren't rushing to get to the next customer which is a plus. Tammi and Kimmy and Tuyen are great, too!

It’s my 4th time coming to this salon and every time I come i’m blown away at the service. It’s amazing. I’ve literally never had a better pedicure/manicure. i nearly fell asleep because of how relaxed I was during my pedicure massage. Even if i’m getting designs or just a simple color on my nails everything is done…

Lee does amazing design work! Brought her another photo and she recreated the beautiful look! I always love my nails and get many compliments on them. I keep coming back because she does such beautiful art/designs. I keep going back for a combo of jelly polish with a layer of cat eye under Lee suggested that adds an amazing dimension.

My pedicures with Lee are my one small self-care splurge. Her attention to detail, her gentle touch, and her customer service have me coming back for several years now.

Tuyen saved me! I got my nails done at another salon yesterday and i was so sad about my results. I went to kitchen nail bar to see if they could save my nails and Tuyen gave me the cutest cat eye nail manicure! She was very gentle with my hands, as i had been cut by the previous nail place. I went on Thursday…

Kimmy is the most talented and artistic nail tech I’ve ever had. Before coming to her I was always leaving nail salons feeling unheard and disappointed. She really listens to what I want, explains to me how things work and what is realistic and is so talented at the work she does! I leave my apts content and beaming each time!

Lee was wonderful and they really help you out to figure out what you’re looking for even if you’re not fully sure. She did a design I showed her amazingly and the service is very nice. Only thing is that if you’re only coming in for that they don’t do cuticles and that stuff so either do it before if it matters.
