I've been to a lot of nail salons and know exactly what kind of service I want from my tech. I am a perpetual walk-in. I never make an appointment and I don't like to wait. When I come here, I always receive a friendly greeting and never have to wait more than 5-10 minutes to receive service.
I almost don't want to share this great review, because I want to keep Kevin all to myself, but they deserve the high rating. He is fast and does a great job. Even with a back-fill on my pink & whites, he's done in less than 30 min. He's not the kind of nail tech that has to add little bits of acrylic over and over to even things out, and he makes my nails thin enough to look natural but thick enough they don't crack or break. My cuticles are carefully cared for - never been hurt once by the drill. (none of those "oops" situations where your nail is burning hot or your cuticle is left torn & bloody!) My nails are even, sharp, and no bulky build up.
The pedicures are decent, too. They keep the tubs super clean, don't wash/float the tools in the water (gross!) and are reasonably priced. No pushy nail tech trying to upsell you into nail design, callous remover, etc. The deluxe pedi is $30 and includes everything I need. The leg/foot massage is basic, not great, but still relaxing. It's more about getting your feet looking pretty again, than a spa-like massage. Overall, I'm very happy with City Nails. I've left once to try another and was sadly disappointed. Not again. This is my go-to place.
