I had an amazing experience here at CK nails with Grace! Unlike ALL the other nail salons I have gone to, she actually didn't try to rip me off. I got a builder gel refill from her. The way she did it, it seemed to me like she did a builder gel full set, because she was so thorough. She took her time and her work was perfect. She was straightforward, did an amazing job and I will always return to her. Great experience!

Edit 12/21/23 What a fun day at the salon and I had another new technician. I just love coming here! I got. Repeat of red nails with glitter for Christmas and this year they have a Christmas backdrop setup for photos! So cute. Thank you CK Nails for the small getaway. Edit: 10/4/23 There’s a new nail technician named Ruth and she’s amazing. I got a mani/pedi for a wedding and she helped me choose the perfect shades of nude/pink for the occasion. I had chosen a really bright pink by accident and her recommendation was the color I was really looking for. Ruth is very friendly and I had a nice time chatting with her while I was there. I’m excited to go back for my next special occasion. 12/22 Ladies here are very sweet. I brought my mom to get pedicures and I also got a gel manicure. Joyce decorated my nails for Christmas and it’s adorable. They use liners in the pedicure baths, and they have a plastic divider up for manicures. We used hand sanitizer when we came in, everything is very clean. I love the location too because it’s in my neighborhood and we probably could’ve walked here in nicer weather.

Worst nail experience . Didn’t bother doing my cuticles and cut the bed resulting in bleeding in my middle finger. For the pricing , it’s absolutely substandard service [EDITED AFTER RESPONSE] It was a service booked via phone. In the business denying that they did provide me service, the $133 charge on my credit card in the business’ name then is a scam and I should be disputing it. Looks like that’s what I am being advised here .
