I went to Kim's nails when it was at the old location near the old Jack Frost and had an okay experience. I had a manicure and got an airbrush design on my ring fingers. The nail tech made my cuticle bleed, but profusely apologized and spent five minutes working on it to stop it from bleeding. It wasn't bleeding heavily, but similarly to a papercut. The manicure wasn't fantastic and began chipping three days later. The problem I have with their airbrushing technique is that, unlike other salons that do handpainted designs, it comes off easily, as well.So when the salon moved to its new location, I decided to give it another go around. Mainly, I wanted to see how their work was in anticipation of wanting to get silk wraps in the near future. This time, I made an appointment with Kim herself and tried a French Manicure. Boy, was this an experience to remember.First of all, Kim is EXTREMELY pushy. I wanted a color similar to Essie's Marshmallow as a base color for my French and she spent half the manicure lecturing me that a pinkier color is more natural. However, I've been getting manicures for nearly eight years now and have come to realize which preferences I have. The pink base is not a look I like, but instead of doing things my way, I gave in just to get her to stop. Of course, in the end, I was not happy with my decision. Additionally, the airbrush was used to make the white tips ON TOP of the base color, followed by top coat. When I asked if she could put on an additional coat of color, she told me it wouldn't look good and the white tip would last.The French started to chip the next day. I'd much rather take my business elsewhere. Read Less
