Nails By Kim

The previous reviews for Kim is so spot on. I went to see her today. She is a sweetheart with talent. Her polishes she uses are Chanel, YSL, Estée Lauder, opi, and cnd. I’m so impressed with how my nails turned out. She is definitely a hidden gem. My nails polish application was so perfect. She uses great products, and is so clean. She truly is a perfectionist. Love her…

Kim gives the best manicure and pedicure in Newport!!! Every component is first rate. She uses top of the line products including a full range of new Chanel polishes. She doesn’t over cut cuticles —- her nail prep makes the polish last much longer than most. If you use gel —- the type she uses doesn’t damage your nails and comes off easily when it’s time to remove. Everything is clean, clean, clean!

Kim is a phenominal manicurist. I moved to So CA a year ago and went in search of a new manicurist. I was disappointed as I tried many of them in the nail shops around Newport Beach. I got on Unilocal and she had the best reviews. I am very picky about how my nails are filed and shaped. Not everyone does a good job with silk nails. She does a great job! They always look fabulous and I get compliments on my nails all the time. I had her do a pedicure once — now I’m hooked! They are fabulous and last a month. You will feel very pampered. Kim is meticulous and makes me feel like a well taken care of client! I highly recommend her.

I bounced around for years getting french manicures and gel manicures here and there (especially when I found a deal). I saw Kim’s gel manicure deal on Living Social in Spring 2011, and since redeeming it I no longer bounce around … I see Kim on an exclusive regular basis for my gel manicures — she’s terrific!
As others have said, she is very professional and also very caring — she really wants you to be pleased with her service. And I always have been pleased. She is very sweet and accomodating (often doing a quick polish for my pre-​teen daughter). She never seems to be in a rush and obviously knows how to schedule her clients!
I frequently get french gel manicures, and I have never had a better french than from Kim! When needed, Kim helps me «save» a cracked nail with silk or gel fill, and never «nickel and dimes» me for extra services. She has her own station in a hair salon in a lovely shopping area of Newport Beach, and her area is always clean and comfortable.
I drive about 15 miles (one way) for my twice monthly appointments with Kim — and I wouldn’t think of not doing so! She’s just terrific!

Kim is simply the best! She is a perfectionist and makes sure your nails look really great. Plus, she is very kind and enjoyable to talk with. I won’t be going anywhere else. Having just moved to the area I was thrilled to find her.

Kim is the best! She is very sweet and easy to talk to. The way she does nails is the best. She always makes me so happy I drive from Los Angeles to Newport Beach just to get my nails done here. Enough said.

Amazing manicure! Sweet, patient, kind, — just a pleasure to be around. Kim is the best! I’m so fortunate to be able to get her gel manicures at a STEAL because of a Plum District coupon! Going to Kim will be my treat from now on!
