King Nails and Spa

Got the best pedicure ever here… the staff is very friendly and takes their time. Would definitely return.

Extremely dirty, unprofessional, and fast. This should not be called a salon, it’s basically the McDonald’s of nail salons.

Great pedicure. Best I’ve had in SC. I will definitely be back here again. They took their time and did a great job. One of the best buffing a I have had on my pedi also. Great spot !

Went here today for the first time. Was seen right away for Pedicure. David did a great job! My feet had a great scrub (much needed). Gel Manicure was done by V. He was sweet and friendly. I’m definitely going back.

My first time at Kings was great. Even though I was a walk in I only waited 5 minutes to get seated. I will definitely go back to Kings!

Im here in Columbia visiting family and my Gel nails were peeling and one of my nails broke off. I was in need of a salon ASAP. Came across this place since it was nearby. Clean and convenient location. It was an average experience. Told the lady when I entered what I wanted and was sat down immediately. The guy who helped me was quick. An the fastest refill n gel color change I’ve been too. The tech didn’t talk much n I didn’t kno his name. Total came out to $ 35 tho. He was fast which was good I had people waiting in the car but definitely not a WOW experience. I’ll probably come back here next time I visit.

My husband and I were in town for my son’s graduation at Ft Jackson and needed to pass some time between events. I decided to try King Nails and Spa while my husband napped in the car. I was treated to a gel manicure (my first ever) and a pedicure. The spa wasn’t the most luxurious I’ve seen but it just appeared dated. They were very busy but were able to work me in. The technician that did my nails was just the sweetest! She was very quiet, but very polite and asked me questions often to make sure what she was doing was ok with me. The hand massage was outstanding and she spent a lot of time on my hands. I chose a french manicure and pedicure. The scrub that she used for the pedicure left my legs and feet feeling amazing. She even used hot towels and really did a great job with the foot massage. I was well pleased and would definitely return.

One of the best pedicures I have ever had. Go for the best pedicure. You wont regret it! And French shellac. I was totally impressed and will absolutely be going back.

I’m new to columbia and I just took a chance. I’ve had my nails done twice now by Peter and he’s done an amazing job. I quickly got in the first time as a walk in on a Thursday evening and the next time I made an appointment. My full set has lasted a month and they’re the best I’ve had done.

first of all, this place was really dirty. as the man was doing my nails i was looking at the lamp and cushion that my arms were on and they were both dusty and gross. also, im picky and like my nails to be a certain shape and length but the man didnt ask me my preference and cut my nails and
shaped them incorrectly. and to top it off the lotion they use is disgusting yellow butter looking lotion that no one wants rubbed on their skin.

This place is pretty good. You can usually get in pretty quickly, even without an appointment, except on Saturday afternoons. The atmosphere isn’t the best in the world, but I’ve definitely been to worse. If you get the second level pedicure the chairs are nice. They have a private VIP room for the third level, but that’s $ 50. The pedicures usually last a long time too. They also do a nice foot and leg massage that I loved when I was pregnant. I’d recommend this place– good cost and good service.

I go here every time because I love my nail tech Cindy she’s very friendly and does a great job. Since is right outside if Fort Jackson this place is always busy.

So after almost 30 min waiting I nicely got up and the guy I guess who was suppose to do my feet said oh no ma’am I’ll be right with you. I laughed and in my mind I wanted to say you knew I was sitting here and you know my feet look like a prune but now that I’m walking out you want to help me. Lol. I told him politely no its ok I’m good. I know a lot of people that go here and they love it this is my third time having a bad experience here. I will not comeback again. I noticed they treated some of the clients better than others. So I guess it how you look and if they feel like being nice to you. I would not recommend this place even for a rush. There was hardly no one here so it wasn’t like they were busy at the time…

My regular salon was closed and I was in desperate need of a mani. What’s a gal to do? King Nails and Spa to the rescue!
I needed a quick, basic manicure and this place was open and nearby. The service wasn’t great. There was a lady with red hair that seemed to be managing everyone. She was loud and was shouting to people. It was very distracting. The woman that did my manicure was very quiet but professional and my manicure looks great. There was much of a hand massage. She just rubbed a little lotion on my hands but the nail polish is impeccable. Ask for Mye if you visit.
Overall the place looked alright. Not the newest or the cleanest. The pedicure chairs looked older and there was dust on the light fixtures. In a pinch I would visit here again for a manicure but I would not switch from my regular place.

I went here the day before my wedding to get my nails done. I wanted the gel nails. This would’ve been my second time getting there, last time I went to a nail salon on Harbison Blvd (should’ve went back but I was pushed for time).
Location:
Forest drive in the plaza where Subway, Fatz, and Dollar Tree is. Its nicely decorated inside and I was seated immediately.
Service — HORRIBLE
Not the best in regards to getting my nails done. First, the owner was doing my nails and didn’t understand what I was explaining for him to do. I just wanted the french tip look with gel nails — he kept pointing to different color nail polish. Then after filing and prepping my nails he excused himself for about 25 mins and left me soaking my nails. I eventually took my hands out after they began to look like prunes realizing he wasn’t coming back anytime soon. I saw him do eyebrow waxing and wandering around in the back. Fed up with being left I asked the receptionist was there anyone who could finish what he started, she told me «Ohhh, he’s the owner and ppl request for him personally.» I really didn’t care.
Finally he returns and starts refilling my nails. Afterwards they were so thin and easy to break so I requested for him to stop. He moved me to another station and left again. Then another person took over my nails and applied the gel nails. After completing my right hand he started on the left hand. At first everything was going ok until the polish cured under the UV light and I noticed how warped they were, like bubbling underneath. So, I explained it to the technician and he tried to tell me that it was ok and sometimes they look like that. I wasn’t falling for that mess. I’ve had it done before and the left hand didn’t look like that. So i requested that he do them again and he did. When he finished the 2^nd time it was much better.
Charge: $ 40 and I didn’t get an apology for them be so slow or anything. They were very polite just slow
UPDATE:
The next day, my polish started chipping. One week later I have chipping and cracking on all my nails. Now, when I went to Harbison it took about 3 ½ weeks before any of this occured and I was working during that time. I haven’t been doing anything this time around that would cause all this damage. I will post a pic. Needless to say I don’t think they’re qualified to do gel nails and it was a waste of money.
Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who wants gel nails and will not be going back for any other service
