I was very nervous because I got acrylics for the first time elsewhere and they had started popping off, but the staff was great and explained the differences between certain types of nail extensions. They took a lot of care in shaping my nails and double checked with me at every step. I feel a lot more comfortable and have cute nails, would definitely recommend!

Manly is the best!!! She’s super detail oriented and meticulous, but she also has an artistic touch. I show her photos of what I’m going for and she consistently adds that “spice” to make it special ❤️ always a happy customer with her! --- Edit: 11/26/25 Adding to my review above! Once again, Manly totally nailed what I was going before I head off on my trip to Dubai this weekend. She's just so creative and has a good sense of various art techniques. It's very impressive!! Also she always uses super clean instruments that have been autoclaved so I feel safe :') Shout out to the front desk people! Life has been so chaotic so I couldn't make my 9:30 AM (had to push to 10 AM) and they were able to call the next appt to make a little extra time for me. So thoughtful and they're always on top of things!

Kitchen Nail Bar is consistently great, in terms of service and quality. I usually get gel x manicures, and I highly recommend Nina! When I was deciding between colors today, she sampled each on my nails first so I felt confident in my decision. I show her a few inspiration photos, and she always nails the design. Highly recommend!

My first pedicure here, Tina did a wonderful job with my Forêt de Roses Pedicure + GEL. I appreciated her focused attention on my service not a lot of chat-chat!! Thank you for my relaxed legs, beautifully soft feet, and dazzling toes. Now my feet are ready for my destination wedding next week.

I come to this place all the time. Everyone is nice and accommodating. They have basic choices but also luxury ones if you want to treat yourself extra! If you want nail designs, they have really good techs for that. They also do good jobs on pedicures. I always leave feeling more confident. Note: they can be busy, so calling ahead may be a good idea.
