Nancy gave the best massage as part of my manicure
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. She cares about doing a good job, consistently every time. I used to come on my lunch break from work, and she would make the service fit in my…
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…
Was able to get a same day appointment, and had a great experience with Tammy for a gel mani and pedi
Great service from Kathy and Tina for mani and gel pedi. So relaxing!
Always a pleasant experience when I go here. The team, especially Michael, Tuyen, Quoc, and Kathy do a great job!
Michael & Kathy were amazing! So welcoming & made sure we left happy with our nails & pedicure! :)
I had such a wonderful experience 10/10! I got gel X and a pedicure and my artist, LEE, was so lovely, skilled, and attentive!!! My nails look incredible and she paid such good attention to detail. :))))) I’m so happy. She really took her time with everything and made sure I loved everything before going forward.…
I was just visiting the area this weekend and my friend recommended this nail place. Kathy took such good care of me! I highly recommend her.
I had a great experience at Kitchen Nail Bar Mountain View. I have been going to this salon for 2 years and always have a good experience. Tina gave an amazing pedicure (the water was just right!) and Michael went above and beyond with my manicure. He took his time to make sure my nails looked exactly like the photo…
Brought in an inspo pic and it came out even cuter in person/on my nails! This place is clean, staff are friendly, they remember regulars, they work with. Are and attention to detail.
Lee was great! She recommended the gel builder manicure for my (very thin) nails, and I love it.
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!
Staff are very friendly, always smiling. I always request for Tuyen who does my nails and she always do a good job. Apple
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.
Can’t ever go wrong with the Kitchen Nail bar. First time trying this location I was serviced by Tuyen and I had a wonderful experience. My appointment time was respected. The appointment for a gel manicure was smooth and with no issue the technique was great removing the gel did not hurt and overall I had a great…
i play violin and she was amazing. she answered my request perfectly, and everything she did was so particular and detailed is was crazy. it was a little pricey for me, but definitely worth it!
My Nail manicurist Tuyen at the Mountain Virw location is wonderful. I haven’t had my nails done since Covid. The shop I use to go to in Mountain View has closed. Needless to say, I was nervous about going to a new person. I went to three diferent shops before choosing this one. The reason I chose this one they were…
I’ve been coming to Lee for the last three years now and I love her and her work so much. I always get gel builder and it is a flawless manicure every single time. Lee is a master shaper and artist. Plus we always have fun thinking of new designs to do!
Every time I get my nails done, I leave the salon with a smile. Thank you, Lee, for the beautiful nails.
Updating my review! Thank you very much as always! Lee did a black gel nail polish with red cat-eye over it and it turned out so pretty! Lee is the sweetest and I get good service every time I go to her! You can tell she really cares for her clients! Lee did my nails and she was awesome! I asked for a simple cat…
Thank you LEE!! Acrylic gel black French tips and butterfly wings on each hand with wing on ring and middle fingers, plus rainbow sparkle gems for bling bling! I just love them and perfect for Halloween.so cute I had to go back the next day and get my toes done all black with my big toes as butterfly wings to match!
Excellent service as always, from Anna and now from Lee. Pretty milky pink nails, red nails, all good. Been coming regularly.
I had the best experience with Lee at Kitchen Nail Bar today! I went in looking for a change to my dip manicure and Lee recommended a much better option that will protect my nails. She made sure that everything was exactly how I wanted it and did a flawless job. I felt so comfortable the entire time. Salon is…
Highly recommend Lee! I have been going to her consistently for over a year now for gel builder manicures, and she's wonderful! :)
Nancy did a great job at doing my nails. I asked for a simple gel french tip and she delivered. The massage was nice too.
I was recommended to go to Michael by a friend and I have never looked by since. I love his patience when I am indecisive with colors and his suggestions always turn out great. He is really nice and attentive to the detail. I highly recommend Michael! You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve been going here since July 2024 and I love it! Lee is the best! Every inspiration photo I show her, she takes the time to study it and ask me questions about it. She’ll check in throughout to make sure I’m happy with it and that it looks like the picture.

Another beautiful job. Thanks Lee.
Michael did a beautiful job on my gel x nails! He would do one nail, then checked in with me about the length, shape, base color, and the color of the French tip before doing the whole hand. I love how they turned out and can’t wait to get another set at this location/with Michael. He pays attention to every detail.…
I had an appointment on Monday morning at Kitchen Nail Bar Mountain View with Lee. The place was not crowded, and had a very chill vibe. I got a popsicle manicure with gel (ocean blue marble finish) done by Lee. She was very patient, kind, and polite and did her absolute best to match the final finish with the photo…
Windy is exceptional! She is so careful to take care of my toes as I suffer from ingrown nails. Her attention to detail is superior. I highly recommend everyone to see Windy if possible. Kitchen nail bar is a very welcoming environment. The staff are friendly and all are attentive. Their prices are fair and quality of products used is superb.
Nancy gave me a fabulous gel manicure exactly like the picture I showed her for my vision. She was fast and efficient; pleasant and easy to talk to. If you have a few extra minutes get the parafin wax and mini massage and treat yourself!
Thank you Windy. Great job!
Very nice place. My manicure and pedicure look great. Would definitely come back.
Wonderful! I love this place so much, highly recommend. Go see Lee she does an amazing job with acrylic
