K D Nails

Love Cindy ! Great price, customer service, and love how she takes her time.*cash only

Cindy is the best! She is so chill. She’s old school Asian, so if you say you’re going to do something… do it. It was my first time there and I called to get my nails done. I told her I would be there in 10 minutes and got there in 5. Turns out, she was already closed, but waited for me so I can get my nails done. DON’T LEAVE HER HANGING! She offers the best customer service and is the most meticulous nail tech ever. She is worth it! I support her business.

If you support small businesses and want someone who is personable and friendly who does not try to jip you, this is the place foryou! The owner, Cindy, is really awesome!
This is my second time coming here and I really love it. More than anything, it’s the customer service that I’m sold on, second to the quality of the nails. Cindy does a great job, and her prices are very reasonable!
She cares more about her customers than money. Just call the salon and make an appointment!

Cash only. It’s so quiet in here and the service is quality and peaceful, no rush and no wait time.
Ps: there is an ATM at nearby La Belle Spa

Went here instead of waiting in a pretty long walk-​in line at la belle across the shopping center. Best decision. Was a little apprehensive because it’s just one woman, but she is great. My only request is that she adds more gel color options. But still 5 stars because I walked in exhausted and left feeling revived with a smile on my face and great looking nails!

If ever you read my Unilocal reviews, you should know I am a MAJOR supporter of local businesses.
This. Place. Is. Amazing. I’ve been going to a nail salon near my house for almost 2 years. They’re amazing, do not get me wrong. But Cindy works magic.
I have never been so relaxed and at peace during a pedicure. Can I just talk about the massage for a second? Best massage I’ve ever had. Which says a lot because I’m a pedicure junkie.
WAIT. THAT ISNT EVEN THE BEST PART. French pedicure for $ 12. I felt like I was robbing her, so I gave her a $ 20 bill. She is SO nice, she gave me a hug as I was leaving, and let not forget about how fabulous my toes look.
I’m sold. I will be here every 3 weeks. Cindy is so nice, so personable, and so talkative! This is a small nail salon, two chairs and a manicure table, but a small room in back as well for waxing and facials. Such a cozy atmosphere. Do not hesitate. Quit reading this. Go. Just GO NOW!

Came in 6:56 on a Thursday, they close at 7 but the owner gladly stayed to take care of my mom and I. She is nice and sweet. The room is small but decorated very nice. It’s $ 12 for a pedicure which I got and liked.

Cindi is the best. She is so sweet and i love her! Manicure and pedicure for 20 bucks is a deal!!! The place is small and CLEAN and have tons of colors to choose. They are perfect for this small place. Great customer service :)

It’s kind of small, & hidden but it looks clean & the lady is really sweet. My nails turned out pretty nice, I just feel like she doesn’t take enough time to remove cuticle, clean the nails up enough. She did my pedicure in like 15 minutes, and I felt she was kind of rushing. She is really nice though, and she tries to talk to you, and you can’t beat the prices. She does have Opi, which is a plus, because polish will last much longer. Overall, it feels comfortable and cozy in there. I just wish she would have taken her time. You can not get a pedicure for $ 12 anywhere around Costa Mesa that’s for sure!

Okay so this place is a bit sketchy but at the end of it it’s cheap and the nails turn out relatively good:
PROS:
— The décor on the inside is relatively cute she made it all herself out of newspaper that she cut out and painted
— She’s very sweet and actually makes an effort to talk to you
— The nails she did turned out pretty cute
— The prices are some of the cheapest
MEH
— She had about 40 polishes so not a huge selection but overall not bad considering the size of her shop
— Honestly just go next door to La Belle, it’s a few dollars more but it’s way cleaner and they have a gigantic selection of good brand polishes
CONS
— She doesn’t have a sink in her shop so you have to use a public bathroom to wash your hands
— Two of my cuticles have cuts on them
— The fan she uses to dry your nails is really slow and after like 40 seconds she’s like okay have nice day

Cindi is the best. This place has been here forever and is the only place Ill ever get my nails done (you can also get waxed, facials, etc) Its great because she does everything and she does it all herself, for the best prices. We have a great time talking and if you are on a budget like me its money well spent. She’s a great artist. The room is decorated with beautiful flowers and birds, fish, all things she’s created from recycled papers. I love KD Nails and recommend it to anyone who wants some good work done in a comfortable atmosphere for the best prices in costa mesa.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went here to get a bikini wax and ended up at the doctor’s office, bleeding… Very unprofessional and unexperienced, stay away!

She has always done an excellent job on my nails. They never chip or break & I can wait 4 weeks in between. The price is the best in town & she never tries to add on extras I don’t need. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been coming to this shop for 3 years and would highly reccomend KD Nails on Harbor and Adams to anyone (the shop is located in the same strip as Blockbuster, Bagel Mania, etc).
The lady who owns the shop is very sweet, does excellent work and it’s always guaranteed. There are many different options of services but you never feel pressured to get add ons although they are offered on the displayed service list.
The basic mani/​pedi is only $ 20 (best price I’ve seen) and the pedicures last anywhere from 2 – 4 weeks. I always feel that I am getting personalized treatment and not being rushed out right away (very dillligent about making sure my nails and toes are dry and ok to leave) but if I am in a rush I will be accomodated.
This shop is CASH ONLY but I know to plan accordingly if I intend to go… I belong to Bank of America and that is across the street with Starbucks so I can grab cash, coffee and then head over to KD Nails.
I usually do the nail services but have had an upper lip wax a few times which was very good as well.
If you are looking for quality work, an affordable price and a pleasant/​friendly experience this is YOUR SHOP!!!

Not the nicest, but clean enough. Pedicure is $ 12 and it was pretty good, lasted about 3 weeks and their selection of colors and glitter topcoats was good. Plus they don’t pressure you into callous removal/​nail art. They were very quick and efficient. You really can’t get a pedicure cheaper than $ 12 that I know of.

Words cannot explain the level of irritation and frustration I just experienced here. I was at Wells Fargo on my lunch break and needed my nails done. Normally I would have just gone to Happy Nails across the street but there was a sign outside advertising some kind of special, plus no one was inside. I figured I’d be in and out quickly since I didn’t have a lot of time. I walked in and the first thing I told the lady was it was my first time there and I specifically asked if I could be done in an hour, and she smiled and nodded. Told me it’d be $ 25 for a new set. At first we chit chatted back and forth while she did her thing with the Dremel. Things started looking shifty when it took her 10 (yes, I watched the clock) TEN full minutes to find the right size tips for my nails. For every nail she tried every size. I seriously thought someone was punking me. I should have listened to my intuition before she proceeded to apply the acrylic. At that point I was pretty convinced she 1) was not licensed and 2) had never done a new set before. It was like getting my nails done by someone who had watched the process a hundred times and finally just decided, hey, that looks easy enough to do, let me try!
Long story short, after slicing my pinky with a nail file that had a tear in it, struggling to apply the acrylic in what looked like an attempt to get it on without having to shape it with the Dremel at all (it was lumpy and thin), and then filing them OVAL when I specified VERY SQUARE, I looked up at the clock and I’d been in there over an hour. She had only shaped 3 nails. I told her to stop and that I did not want to continue. My left hand was completely unfinished. The language barrier seemed to have worsened as we both started to get frustrated. Then she had the audacity to tell me it was going to be $ 25. I told her there was no way in hell I would pay for a full set when she didn’t even finish the job, but I would pay for the work she already did. She kept trying to tell me to come back later and she’d fix it… honestly this went on for another 5 minutes… and I had to repeat over and over and over that I was not going to come back ever and to please run my card so I could get back to work. She still insisted so I finally just said yeah whatever. I paid $ 15 because I’m not a dirtbag but there’s no way I will ever go back there or endorse this place.

This place is a little hole in the wall, but the lady who is there on weekdays is really nice and gives nice 30 minute facials and waxes eyebrows well.
The prices are reasonable. It’s not a fancy place, but if you are on a budget, then the services are worth the money spent.
