Kim Nails Manucure Paris 8e

Good mani/pedi, but very poor value for the experience! Don't come here if you expect pampering or massage or 1 hour ½ treatment! This is your typical SE Asian mill. First, let me say that my nails are great and I expect the polish to last. Alice and the other technician did a good job. And the staff was very sweet and friendly. What I am objecting to is the value for the service in the business which is the responsibility of the owner. I paid 70€ online for "manicure and spa foot beauty package in semi-permanent varnish". The treatment is advertised as taking 1 hour and 30-40 minutes. This shop is of the fairly typical sort we have in the U.S. for a much cheaper price. So, I was expecting more by way of ambiance and pampering. This was my mistake. I walked into the little place and the first surprise was 3 young men on their phones plus 2 women and the white boss. I'm not used to so many men in a salon, but thought, "Okay, this is a little uncomfortable, but it's very Asian and I know the culture." It was sweet really, they were singing along with a Vietnamese (?) music video and the music was fun and not jarring. Now here's the problem, first the boss convinced me I needed to pay 20€ more for something and since I don't understand the process, I agreed. Upsells in general are suspicious though common, like at a garage. It made me uncomfortable. Then, the discomfort that didn't match the advertising. Feet into a cool tub of water. No warmth, no fragrance. Then the worst! during the process, I noticed that they were not cleaning under my nails! (Since my feet are difficult for me, this was one reason I need pedicures.) I pointed the dirt out to the manicurist, and she told me "later" and proceeded to paint the varnish on my nails. There was no "later". I asked that they not cut my cuticles, but she did any way. But the most disappointing thing was the massage. Or lack of it. Since the mani/pedi was done in 45 minutes, I expected at least a half hour massage . Well two or three swipes of lotion on my hands is not a massage! The woman lied and told the owner she had done the foot/leg massage when she hadn't. I was polite in asking about the massage and said if she had done it, I hadn't noticed. The guy told her to do it. She clearly wasn't really trained, and did a few rubs and some pounding up my leg over my clothes. I was out of there in 55minutes! They shorted me 35-45 minutes of my "spa beauty package"! Half of it! So if you are expecting a good massage, something healing and caring. Some pampering, this is not the place. I'm sure the guy will write some defensive garbage, blaming the customer and not taking responsibility for the truth. But he is not running a spa, no matter what he asserts.

Love Kim Nails, my definite go to for a mani pedi. The staff is very friendly and always welcoming, as well as being very efficient. The space is small but there are all sorts of services and they are very successful which is a clear sign of their hard work. The prices are very fair for the quality of the services provided, I definitely recommend this salon to everyone!

They took me as a walk in on a Sunday because I needed to redo my nails for a conference on Monday and had just arrived from the States. I don’t speak that much French but they were super kind and helped me navigate everything. At the end they told me cash only but I didn’t have any and it wasn’t a problem he was kind enough to let me use my card even though it was Sunday. Merci!!

Terrible ! Rushed manicure and pedicure- no short massage, no attention to detail. Nail polish peeled off in less than 10 hours. For a salon in the 8th, I was very disappointed ! Definitely to be avoided and I won’t be going back. Editing following your response : I am shocked at the way you speak to your customers. Again very surprising for a salon in the 8th. I don’t have time to make up fake reviews- I don’t know what you are talking about regarding Ms Perez - if you are not organized enough too keep track of your clients, it’s not my problem ! Like I said above, I won’t be back - having to redo my manicure after 2 days and paying twice is annoying. But the worst is the rude owner…
