Kimarie Hair Salon

Quincy is filled with nail salons, but this place is by far the best I have ever been to! Their pedicures are to die for :-) definitely get the callous removal :-) it’s great

I have been coming here for awhile now due to convenience and price. I have gotten several nail fills, pedicures, eye brow waxes, one facial and one massage and blow outs. I always give this place another chance but I have decided I am officially done after today. The staff gives off a vibe that they can’t be bothered with you from the minute you walk in the door, a staff member has over charged my card on more than one occasion, and the overall quality is very half assed. I asked for a Christmas design and the nail tech said they didn’t have green, then I showed her a different one with red and she said, «you don’t think that’s too much?» And I said «I just want a red flower». She ignored me and didn’t do a design. I find it hard to believe they didn’t have green during the holidays and I’m convinced she just didn’t want to do anything extra because that’s her usual habit. The entire staff rushes through everything; most salons do a complementary massage with a pedicure but they charge ten dollars. Eye brows come out uneven. I can walk out with decent nails as long as I prompt the usual nail tech to fix her mistakes. Blow outs are decent but the stylists are rude and scratch the hell out of your scalp to the point it’s raw and they wet your hair and shampoo it in the seat which I find strange. The person who did my facial left a scar on my nose. The massage was rushed through and the employee did not seem to know what they were doing. Overall very poor quality and terrible customer service. What a disappointment and negative experiences.

I have been going here for wash and blow dry’s regularly for over two years. I have always been pleased. But of late, I have been unsatisfied with my hair. I will tell them I don’t want it straight ironed and they always try to do it. Also, they increased their prices in July which is fine but last week they tried to charge me more money again! In the past three weeks they have tried to charge me $ 20 then $ 25 and last week $ 30!
They are very convenient as I never make an appointment but I find they are becoming greedy and their quality is declining. I am now going to a higher quality salon and are being charged $ 30 for a blow dry. I can’t contribute to greediness.

Kimarie always seems to do brisk business in manicures, pedicures, eyebrows and hair. In spite of that, there is usually very little wait for nail work, and none at all for brow waxing. They are efficient, professional, and are good at what they do.

They always do an amazing job! This salon will take care of you more than any other salon I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been getting my nails done for over 20 years). The whole staff is friendly and they go above and beyond to please you, plus they give great massages!

Yee…
For reference, I was here for a mani/​pedi on Thursday – one week ago today.
I didn’t see any autoclave action here. My regular salon sanitizes and individually packs nail tools for the next use, which puts me at ease. This place has shower caddies full of tools touching each other. I can’t verify if these get cleaned after each person as I was the only person in the chair at the time getting a pedi. After the foot bath is drained, a quick spray of Clorox and a splash of water and it’s apparently ready for the next person. Take that how you will, I wasn’t in here too long and didn’t see anyone else getting a foot service, so if this is unsettling, take your chances going in if you want.
On to mani, same tech who did my pedicure did my manicure. They bring out a glass candy dish like thing filled with water and those fish tank gem-​like stones in it to soak your hands in. I doubt these are sanitized after each use and here’s why I assume: the cuticle clipper that my tech brought out to use on me had a skin glob on it. She quickly wiped it off on her apron, but damage was done and I saw it… so if something that major isn’t clean, why think the small bits are cleaner?
In addition, during the manicure, after each coat of paint, you are to place your hand in front of a fan to speed up drying. This leads to the polish bubbling. Boy, were my nails bubbly after this service. On top of that, all but two of my nail tips have chipped and I have chips by my cuticles, too.
Two stars because my toes still look just fine.

The first time I had my hair done here about 9 years ago it was fine. The second time I got my hair done here it was not fine but I attributed that to walking in on a busy Saturday. (They do a lot of walk-​in business). On Friday 4÷11÷14 it was a disaster. I asked for color, cut and blow dry straight. The color did not cover all my gray and wurst of all I said I wanted shoulder length hair and he heard «do whatever you want». I got choppy chin length hair with layers in the back. If you are going to cut 5″ off someone’s hair I think you should be sure the client wants that.
Not recommended, sorry. And it was not cheap $ 80. for color cut and blow dry straight.
Life lesson– Don’t go to a hair salon where they don’t speak your language perfectly.

This salon is a wonderful experience. The best head wash and a quick blow dry. Extremely reasonable. Open seven days a week. I have been going for over 10 years. It is great.

I go here all the time for pedicures only. They are super nice. I see people complaining about old polish. Bring your own! Why would you want to use polish that everyone else uses anyway? They are really nice here and for an extra $ 5.00 they have this scrubber that really does wonders for your heels! They always take walk ins and I never make appointments. Super cheap and my pedicure always looks really good!

the people are super nice
i got a full set of acrylics and everything was swell until the nailpolish. their polish is old old old, so its too thick and gummy to dry. they dont toss it, they just add polish remover to thin it out. i witnessed this. also, they dont have nail dryers. you have to sit with your hands poised in the air in front of a tiny fan that does nothing. also a kind of sloppy cramped environment, and not familiar with different polish designs
bottom line, great set of acrylics, totally horrible polish job that fell apart after i left so i had to redo it when i got home, i wont be going back

Curly girls steer clear!
I went in for a trim upon the recommendation from a co-​worker. She raved about their head and neck massage that comes with the wash/​cut. Oh me, the guy was so rough it was thoroughly unenjoyable. He used his nails and had no finesse or any kind of awareness that it wasn’t enjoyable. The shampoo consisted if some sort of liquid which foamed and was performed at the chair, rather than at the sink. Furthermore, he cut more than I asked him to and didn’t use ANY product while blowdrying my hair. He said he was going to blow dry it straight (he asked and I said I didn’t care) but my hair became this overwhelming frizzball and he resorted to the curling iron to tame it. At the very end he ran some antifrizz serum, but it was too late.
By the way, my hair us shoulder length and wavy. The only thing he did right was stay with the same style cut I had, but all in all I will not be returning.

I walked in during the middle of the day on a weekend and was able to get a pedicure within 15 minutes. The people were very friendly. The prices are a bargain. I also liked their wide selection of nail colors. The only thing that keeps this review from 5 stars is that parking can be a pain.

My friend and I made an early weekend morning appointment to get hair updo at Kimarie. They opened the salon extra early (like 7am) for us. The girl who did my hair looks very young (like 17 or 18?) but she’s actually pretty good. She made the style I wanted in about 30 – 40 minutes and it lasted all day and all night — it still looked good when I got home at 11pm. The owner, a middle-​aged woman, did my friend’s hair and it’s not bad either. My friend has a short bob, but the salon owner was able to make her hair looked a lot longer. The cost for the updo is $ 40 each person plus tip.
