Cute Nails

Although the place itself is not very inviting, I decided to give it a try. Personally I do not like acrylic piled onto my nails as if it was frosting on a cake.
The guy (I don’t know his name) did a great job and letting me check the progress along the way to make sure they are exactly the way I like them.
He filed away the parts that were lifting off extremely carefully before applying new acrylic (some places skip this step, believe it or not.) After applying the fill, he made sure everything was smooth and all my nails had the same shape. He applied the gel polish very neat and wiping ANY excess.
I am amazed by how meticulous he was even though he also seems to be a realtor (???) Their selection of gel polishes could be bigger but there are still plenty to choose from. This was my first time there but I will be sure to come back.
The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because of the appearance of the salon. The outcome of my nails and service would be 5 stars though!

Nice job. Got a pedicure and walked right in on a Saturday. Gentleman that helped me did a good job was efficient. Price was cheap and I was happy. Wish they did a foot massage only did mostly legs but that’s okay. Will go back happy with service.

Found this place on Unilocal (of course) because I was in need of a last minute pedicure and had no idea where to go.
Brian (I’m assuming that’s his name because all of the other reviews) took care of me. He did a great job on my feet! Very clean and my nails were nicely shaped.
I don’t care much about designs and never get any shellac, gels, acrylic, etc. However, it’s important for me to have all the tools properly sanitized (I have OCD) and do a great job cleaning the nails. And that’s why they get 5 stars! :) Oh, and also because of the hot stone massage and hot towels.

Some things aren’t meant for sharing, and this place ranks in my top 5 but I am ecstatic with the quality of work and service I’ve received. So I’ll be generous today. Brian did an amazing job, not even providing me the opportunity to whimper or hawk-​eye his work methods. And please believe, I take pride in my observation! But he made sure to handle my fingers with care and expertise I’ll consider an incentive to the price, not to mention quality that far exceeded my personal expectations. Thank you for taking my calls! All 4 of them honestly, and allowing me an experience that creates returning clients!

I truly loved this spot! The service was fantastic — my pedicure and manicure came out fantastic. I wasn’t able to get the color that I initially wanted as it was a two tone color, but Kathy herself was really sweet and helpful and helped me figure out another color. The pedicure included a scrub, and hot stone massage — which was divine! The prices are also inexpensive — I would call prior to ensure they have time for you since it’s a smaller nail salon. All in all, I left happy.

INEXPENSIVE. Prices here are mid-​level, but the value is outstanding. Spent 2 hours getting a mani-​pedi combo, and it was worth every penny. The staff spent so much time on everything (in a good way) doing high-​quality work whether it was the stone foot massage or cuticle trimming.
SPARKLING CLEAN. Not just the Facilities, but the processes themselves (gloves, products, instruments). Staff were incredibly organized and salon was free of clutter.
And most importantly… QUALITY. I have never had gel nails of this quality. I believe the reason they are so durable is due to the ample coatings by Kathy and the products must be very high quality.
My sister and I were incredibly happy with this place all around. There’s a reason this place was bustling even though it was Monday!!!

I was desperate for a quick fix/​fill. And I got that right away and fairly cheap. Thanks. It’s a pretty good 30 minute manicure.

I was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked my nails! I tried a few spots in the area but have been disappointed in everyone’s work till today! I will be back for sure!

I love this place!!! They take their time and really care about their customers! It’s sad that someone who had an allergic reaction to aloe posted their picture on this page!

Came here after getting a manicure from another place. Let’s just say the first place I went to made it look like my 5 year old cousin had done my nails. I had never been here before and was welcomed with a warm smile from the husband. Kathy did my nails and toes. Very clean, very good job. The price is great also. I will mos def be coming back! Found my new spot :)

I have been a happy customer of Brian and Kathy for over 2 years for a mani and pedi. This all changed on December 28, 2014 which they gave me a brow/​lip wax… After my wax, a liquid solution was rubbed on my skin and that’s when I felt a burning sensation… It was very painful! It felt like my face was on fire. I complained to both
Brian and Kathy about the burn feeling but they told me not to put anything on my skin but just wash with cold water. So I did… also paid them with tip and left. As I was walking to my car, I knew something went wrong! I got in my car, looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my face was red and the burning sensation was getting stronger every second… It felt like my face was on fire and spreading. My husband drove me to the hospital immediately. I was diagnosed with a severe chemical burn and allergic reaction. On my second, third and fourth day, my face was completely swollen that I could not open my eyes. I have been in and out of the hospital and will continue my hospital visits and burn therapy for the next 4 weeks or so… Not to mention, time off from work during my recovery. I am going through terrible pain, suffering and depression. I cannot leave my house because of how I look. My children was scared and confused as to what happened to my face. I want Cute Nails by Kathy customers to know that if they hurt you from any of there service, they will not hold themselves accountable. Brian and Kathy will tell you it is not there fault. They will refuse to contact there insurance company to report an insurance claim if a customer gets hurt. My intention is not to close down the business but to ensure that Cute Nails by Kathy takes proper actions to correct there mistakes and avoid putting anyone else in suffering. My family and I are going through a lot at this time and no monetary compensation will make up for what we are going through. Denying my request to file an insurance claims leaves me at this point of hiring an attorney.

No wait after work on a weekday! Very easy to find, a couple stores down from the Paris Baguette that recently opened up in this plaza off 237.
I don’t get manicures or pedicures often, since I prefer to use my own polish and like to take the time to do the work myself. Sometimes though, if I’m in a rush or it’s been a while since I’ve done nail maintenance, it’s much easier and faster to get a manicure and/​or pedicure for shaping.
Color selection was okay. OPI is an easy choice for most salons, but there are other brands out there that I think are better for costing only $ 1-​$ 2 more per bottle. (This is my own bias as a nail polish addict coming out, though.) The selection should be more than adequate for most people.
The spa-​style pedicure was so lovely! Not only was Kathy very careful and attentive with my pedicure, but she didn’t rush through it at all and really took her time with my feet. The pedicure came with an exfoliating scrub (which smelled AMAZING), a hot stone w/​oil and hot towel + lotion massage — wow! I could really smell the citrus from the scrub and lotion.
I only requested a nail trim for my hands, which Brian (Kathy’s husband) took care of while I was having my pedicure done. He did a great job with my cuticles (which I’ve let go haywire in the past few months) and trimmed down my nails to a simple square cut. If I had any complaints it was only about one of the nails, which had a very, VERY slight imperfection that I may not have noticed if I weren’t so crazy about textures — my nails have to be all smooth curves and smooth sides or I end up ruining them by rubbing/​picking at the flaw throughout the day. I smoothed it out very smoothly when I went home.
Overall, super satisfied with my service. I hope to come back when I need a manicure or pedicure again!

Simply put. This place takes care of you at a good price and with accurate timing as to when they are available. Not much more you could ask for in a nail salon.

This is such a sweet little spot. Easy to find from the grocery bargain outlet parking lot.
This is a husband and wife owned place– kathy and brian are so sweet– thorough with great attention to detail.
Brian took care of my nails– he is methodical in taking off my old shellac polish– the process was so smooth! And then shaping the nails and cuticle he dis so gently with no pain. Then he helped me pick the perfect color of gellish for me.
He did 2 base coats, 2 layers of color, top coat, the spray down and cuticle oil.
He went over every nail multiple times and was so careful. My nails look so great!
Then his beautifuk wife Kathy waxed my eyebrows and my lips. Again, the concern with detail, they are smooth and percise in their motions but they make sure every part is taken care of. No stray hairs remain after my long over due need for a wax. The shape of my brow was perfect– exacrly what i wanted. When it was necessary she even tweezed and trimmed the stubborn hairs.
I highly recommend this place if you want a clean place with careful attwntion to detail. Everything came out to $ 38. They take credit card. If you need a good nail tech this is the go to place to be.

Kathy did my shellac and pedi. It was a pleasant first experience here. She was very gentle cutting & trimming everything. I noticed she did 3 layers of shellac color (maybe because it was white?) plus under & top coats and cured each and every coat. Looks like it will surely last much longer — I hope!!! I have to say if service is consistent, I will be back! Just fyi… It’s a very tiny spot, 2 pedi and 2 nail chairs. So depending on when you come, you might have to wait.

I’m not sure what some of these 1 – 2 stars reviews are about.
I did a last minute stop at the salon for a gel manicure and regular pedicure.
Don’t let the décor fool you, these guys did an amazing job with my nails. The mountain of callous hidden in my heels were scraped off.
The pedicure also consisted of a hot stone massage which felt blissful!
The whole experience was quick, thorough, and priced well.
The Shellac manicure was $ 25
Pedicure $ 20

This place has been taken over in ownership by a husband and wife, who are both very warm and welcoming. The two have transformed the place for the positive! The old place, was not as clean or aesthetically pleasing. They just put in new chairs :)
However, only the two of them work and this nail salon is very small. If you come during a time when it is packed and you are looking to relax, this is not the place for you. But, there are times when I go and it is empty and I feel like a pampered queen. I live so close, is easy for me to come back again when the crowd has died down. My favorite are their pedicures, because they always use hot stones with no additional charge. The color assortment is not huge for gel, but it consists the basic colors and a few funky new colors I haven’t tried yet.
This place is a convenient and inexpensive, it is a local shop I like to go to :)

Fantastic salon. It’s owned and run by a husband and wife, who both do nails, by the way. My friend and I picked this salon on a whim — it’s in between where she and I live. I love finding great places like this by chance!
I believe they do more than just nails, but I haven’t the need for such services, so I wouldn’t be able to review for that, but their mani-​pedi services are excellent.
The owners are the nicest people you will ever meet. They make conversation with you and are genuinely interested in what’s going on with you. Definitely my new regular salon.

I went to Cute Nails tonight, What a great salon, they do facials, wax and nails! They are under new ownership and it looks great. They did my nails all their polish looked new, the bottles are clean and full, my nails look great, the shellac was new and dried fast I was in and out in no time at all! I was so pleased that I took 5 of the girls from my family as my treat for Xmas, everyone loved the service and a great time was had by all! It’s next Fed ex in the same shopping center as the grocery outlet. Great place and the new owners are very nice!

I come here after work to soak my feet/​and a hot stone massage on my legs feel wonderful.
