KT Nails & Spa

I went in on a Sunday and really enjoyed this salon. Van was very diligent and it has honestly been the best manicure I have ever received. It was just a little bit more expensive than where I usually go but it was worth a little more for sure. Next time Ì i have a free time I will be back

I liked my pedí and my buffed mani. I would have liked for them to use plastic bags on their tubs to prevent fungus. Overal it was good

I just came here for the first time, I called and they said there was no wait. I came in they said it would be about 10 mins and to pick out a polish. I sat for about a minute as 3 people walked in and then one of the employees came over to me and said its going to be 30 – 40 mins can I leave and come back? Even if the 3 people had an appointment I was already told 10 mins. But they said the 3 people would have to go ahead of me. How is that fair? And there were 5 employees working and no one else waiting with me.

First time here, came in for a pedicure and manicure with family. They accommodated all four of us for a 3pm reservation. We waited around 10 minutes before being seated for the pedicure.
I chose the deluxe spa pedicure which included a scrub and lotion treatment along with a 10 minute massage. The chairs there are massage chairs so you can just sit and relax with a back massage while they work on your pedicure. She used a scrub first then applied a tingly mint lotion and left it on for about ten minutes. My legs were freezing afterward — that mint is STRONG, but the massage was very soothing! The rest of the pedicure was fairly basic — she applied more lotion and then did my color. The application was on point and really well done — my toes look good!
The manicure was a lot quicker — I didn’t do any colors on my hands or gel/​acrylic so she just fixed up my nails and left a natural buffed shine. Even this made my nails look like they weren’t actually mine haha, they look very clean and neat! The customer service was also very good the whole time, she was very polite!
Definitely would recommend this place — the ambiance is a little divey and small — there’s just some music playing, no TV on despite there being a TV in the room. It also seems a little old and outdated, the fixtures could be replaced, but the quality of the manicure and the price point are definitely well worth the visit. The pedicure was $ 25 and the manicure was $ 10. I think the buffing was an extra $ 3. So in total it was around $ 38 + tip!

They did an amazing job on my daughter’s nails! Check the picture! They’re still a favorite-​although-​as I’ve said before-​the owner could update the place a bit.

This place may not be the snazziest as far as décor, but they do a mean spa pedicure with callous removal for $ 20! Great price, clean place and great service. Rose did a great job and was really thorough. She was also very quick without making me feel rushed. I don’t go for pedicures very often, but at this price I may have to start going more regularly! If you need a fancy place with all the bells and whistles, this probably isn’t for you, but if you want a nice pedicure for a great price, head to KT Nails!

This is a no frill nail shop. Was in the area and was in need of a mani-​pedi.
Two technicians worked on me simultaneously. My pedicure was good, however, my manicure was beyond terrible.
The manicurist cut my skin at the cuticle on two nails-​ouch! The worst part, she could not get the bleeding to stop! At one point she asked me to put my fingers in my mouth-​I kid you now (disbelief).
It was a terrible experience. I would not come here again or recommend.

I dropped by KT Nails the other night for a fill. Prior to coming I made an appointment just in case they were busy for 6:30pm. I asked her how long it would take and she said 50 minutes which was perfect since I had a pilates class at 7:30pm.
Upon coming in I was helped by Van. She was very helpful and sweet when I was deciding kind of fill I wanted. I ended up choosing a pink and white fill which costs $ 28. My only gripe was she was sanding/​grinding one nail came completely off. and there was 4 others that she did too short. So she replaced 5 tips, but luckily didn’t charge me for the replacements so I tipped her good. :)
In the end I loved my nails, but I was rushing her towards the end saying I needed to leave because it was getting closer to my class start time. She ended up finishing me by 7:40pm. I hope she didn’t do any shortcuts. because I was adamant on leaving even though if it wasn’t finished I told her. I ended up missing my class. =[
She did it exactly how I wanted, even under pressure. Overall a good spot to get your nails done, with decent pricing!

Thou and Kelly are so nice
I recommend this place
Inexpensive as well
I will go back there :)
Plenty of parking
I had one person do my mani and other do my pedi cause I made an appt.
Was nice pampering :)

Worst gel manicure I have ever gotten. She got the polish all over my skin and would have left it there if I didn’t say something. There was also no lotion or massage after. I could have painted my own nails a lot better. Never will i go there again.

Great job on the pedicures and reasonable too at $ 15 and $ 19. I broke out in hives from the brow wax and this never usually happens. She did do a good job, if it hadn’t been for the reaction. Perhaps it was the oils she used afterwards. Either way, I’d return for the pedicure but not the brow wax.

GREAT Prices! for a manicure, its $ 9.99! If they did an update/​renovation in the salon, it would be a 5star. My manicurist was very quite and did a great job on my toes and hands. I recommend the #3 for a spa pedicure, it was 15 minutes of getting a leg massage with sugar. I also give a shout out because she didn’t paint my cuticles and i left feeling very satisfied.

I really thought I had found a good salon in KT nails, but I was wrong. It’s not the prettiest salon but I’ve definitely been in worse. I came in for a gel mani and was seated immediately… The nail tech chastised me for having short nails and told me there wasn’t much she could do to shape them. Okay, whatever, other salons have no problem shaping my nails, but that’s fine. She didn’t do a great job on my nails — polish was left on the sides of my fingers. I could have lived with that if my manicure hadn’t started chipping the very next day! I would have gone back but I was going out of town.
Such a bummer, they have a good pedicure price ($ 15 every day) but I probably won’t be back.

I was near for a work event and really needed a mani/​pedi. I went in and they had a very limited amount of nail colors. I waited despite making an appointment (didn’t bug me much — only waited maybe 15 minutes). They sat me and the pedicure chairs were a bit old but were fine. As I was getting the services, there was a lady cleaning the tubs of the other chairs so I was glad to see it was clean. However my manicure is awful! It chipped after less than a day & was completely dull after 4 days. She didn’t get the edges of my fingernails during the first coat & I told her. She said she’d get them on the second. Well, the color is gone from there. The way she cut my cuticles, they look all raggedy already. Overall, I’m so glad I don’t live in Carlsbad and think that is a good place. At least it was cheap.

Dina did a great job on my acrylics. …however I can not day the same for the woman who did my spa pedi… by far the worst foot massage I have ever had… prices are cheap… but you get what you pay for…
Sorry to say I will not be returning.

AMAZING. I can’t NOT give KT a great review. Could it use a facelift, yeah, the pink walls are a bit much, but the service was FANTASTIC. I HATE going to new salons, but due to my new relocation, I had no choice. I try really hard to be upfront and say exactly what I want and the ladies stepped right up to the plate. I have NEVER had such a perfect first time manicure. I followed the advice of other reviews and was lucky enough to get Dina to do my manicure. Even in her on the verge of giving birth state, lol, she did a PHENOMENAL job, I mean perfect. I didn’t get the name of the gal who did my pedicure, but she was fantastic as well. I LOVE that they knew my name the second I walked in and treated me as if I was a life long customer. Especially considering the extremely convenient location, This is definitely my go to nail salon down here. Love it!!!

I’ve been to KT Nails numerous times over the past few years and am never disappointed. I typically get a simple pedi with callous removal, but this week got an excellent Shellac manicure. My cuticles look amazing and my technician worked on the shape until I was 100% satisfied.
I’ve also had both lip and eyebrow waxing with great results and an even better price. Definitely check it out if you’re in need of personal grooming.

So far so good.
I’ve only been here twice but Unilocalers didn’t lead me astray. The price is right, the ladies are friendly and I loved my nails both times I left. They spend a good amount of time on the massage part of the pedicure, which is fantastic. I do have to be very specific about how I like my nails shaped, first salon I’ve been to that doesn’t ask but no biggie.
It’s also nice to converse with some of the other patrons while here. It’s not super gorgeous in here, but I never really care about that, especially if it means we get a good price. Honestly, this is the best prices I’ve paid in a long time. Will keep coming here until it’s no longer convenient or something changes.

I came in here because I had a gift certificate for then from Christmas. The service was eh, I wouldn’t come here for their manicures, I’m guessing they’re better at their other services. I set an appointment but came ahead of time as I had gotten there earlier than expected and asked to be seen a little earlier. Surely they did, but the lady was working on me and her other client at the same time, switching back and forth, without washing her hands. I understand she wanted to make sure she wouldn’t lose business, but I’d rather have waited an extra 10 minutes for her to finish, I wasn’t aware she was still with someone.
I also asked for her to do something extremely simple, and the manicurist said she couldn’t do it with the colors I wanted. I over looked it though because she was very gentle handed and have a great hand massage, I was at least relaxed for a little while.
However she wasn’t the most friendly. She said hello, pick your color, what are you here for today and that was it. I didn’t even get her name until I had to ask when I left. And I had to judge for myself when to get up and leave because she left and started working on someone else without saying anything to me. Which lead to me having to fix a carless mistake she over looked. It was kind of like once she had my money she didn’t care too much about me anymore.
All in all my nails came out decent. They could have been cleaned up and fixed up a little better but it’s not too noticeable, my nails look better than before, I guess, and the service wasn’t the worst I’ve ever had. Still not sure if I’m going back though. We’ll see. If I do, it will be for a different service, and will hopefully have a better experience

I popped in for a super quick gel polish removal because it happened to be right next door to Ignite where I was scheduled to meet a coworker for happy hour. Nina (or was it Dena? I couldn’t quite catch it.) did an AWESOME job for me. I’ll be honest — I have no idea how gel polish is supposed to *actually* be removed because I’ve seen it done so many different ways now. But Nina took her time and gave amazing attention to my nails. The polish was perfectly removed and with no damage to the nail whatsoever.
So glad this place is close to my work because I have a feeling I’ll be back. :-)
