18K Nails is my go-to nail salon! Iโ€™ve been getting my nails done there for 4+ years, and have only had great experiences. At this point, I only trust them to do my nails! Kenny and his team make me feel so welcomed with every visit, and I always look forward to my appointments. Every nail tech is kind, gentle, and precise. I usually book my manicures with Tom and my pedicures with Linda, but my nails always look fantastic no matter who works on them. The salon is clean and peaceful, and itโ€™s really easy to use their online booking system. Thereโ€™s truly no better feeling then when you know youโ€™re in excellent hands โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’…

Wow! What a wonderful experience. I needed a new nail tech. Randomly picked 18k cause it seems so clean. And was I right! This establishment is not only super clean, smell amazing and is luxurious feeling. But the customer service is superb. They make you feel so welcomed. Most importantly the work that is created here is top tier!!!!! My nails are so beautiful. Kristen is an absolutely doll. What a cutie with so much talent and love for her craft! New regular!!!!!

Iโ€™ve been coming here for years, and it has become a special, non-negotiable part of my monthly self-care routine. The team here is incredible โ€” kind, skilled, and so consistent. For the first time in my life, my nails are actually healthy, strong, and growing beautifully, and itโ€™s 100% because of their care and expertise. The salon itself is spotless, comfortable, and relaxing. Itโ€™s so easy to book appointments online, and they always run on time. Every service feels thoughtful and high-quality, and I leave with nails that look amazing every single visit. If youโ€™re looking for a nail salon that goes above and beyond, this is the place. I canโ€™t recommend them highly enough!

Iโ€™ve been to 18K on and off for about 2 years now (Iโ€™m a musician so I donโ€™t regularly get my nails done), and each time Iโ€™ve been pleased with the results but this most recent trip all my expectations were exceeded! I had Kris as my technician and he delivered exactly what I wanted (gel ex French chrome tips) in such a quick manner! Absolutely I recommend requesting Kris and booking 18K! I will be back!

Best nail tech Iโ€™ve been to. Love how natural my nails look and that they donโ€™t use UV rays. Kenny was very friendly and helpful as well in making the best suggestions for me.
