Kanwa Nails & Spa in Omaha, NE

Great service, over priced. Most of the salons in town charge me $40 for a fill and I bring my own gel polish. Usually if they have to repair one the average charge is $5 . Kanwa charges $50 for a standard fill, short, almond shape. Lynns Nails and Kala both charge $40.

My nails always turn out really cute , but everytime i've gotten gel polish on acrylic nails the polish ends up completely peeling off. I noticed that one of the guys there who does my nails doesn't use a base coat before the color, which might be the issue. But most likely will not be coming back because of that. Spending $60 on a short, 1 color set for it to chip and peel in a week is disappointing.

My sister and I decided to have our most recent "sister time" while getting pedicures together. We managed to get late afternoon appointments, and I spent the rest of the day looking forward to getting pampered.

Upon our entrance, the receptionist greeted us with a warm smile and was very helpful in directing us to the polish section. They had a good selection of polish from a few different brands. I can never choose just one color, so I selected my top 3 and returned to the waiting area.

The waiting area was small but pleasant, and I had fun entertaining myself by looking at all of the nail colors and acrylic polish shapes they had out on the table. A quick glance around the salon showed me the general layout of the place - pedicure chairs around the edges with the nail stations towards the middle and front. There seemed to be a good number of both.

We didn't have long of a wait and were taken to our pedicure chairs. We sat down and swung our legs around and put our feet into the water, which was scalding hot. They quickly adjusted the temperature and added more cold water, and we were on our way.

We selected the basic pedicure, and both added on the callus treatment and hot stone massage. The spa soak, shaping, and nail/cuticle trim were all pretty standard. My only complaint was that the woman who was doing my pedicure was sniffling and sneezing and didn't start out wearing a mask. She did finally go get one after I said something, and I was grateful that she did.

The heel scrub and callus treatment were both great. As someone who always fights calluses on my heels, they did a good job with them. The callus treatment did appear to be the kind where your foot peels for a bit afterwards, but it was well worth it! The bottoms of my feet were as smooth as a baby's bottom!

I also enjoyed the orange scrub, although I would like to know more about the "orange-scented" part and would like to see a more natural and organic product used for this. The warm lotion massage was okay. I watched the guy doing my sister's massage, and he was actually using proper massage techniques. The woman doing mine was literally just running her thumbs up and down my legs and feet over and over. There were no other massage strokes or pressure technology used.

The hot stone massage was a bit disappointing as well. The stones were so hot that they were hurting my legs. I should have spoken up at that point, but when they cooled down, they were fine. The rest of my pedicure was uneventful. They did a good job applying the polish, and I was happy with the color I chose.

The woman doing my pedicure wasn't very talkative throughout peducure, which I don't mind, but once the polish was on, that was the last I saw of her. The guy doing my sister's massage explained that she should stay in the chair for 10 minutes and then she was free to go. So we sat and chatted while we watched a storm roll in. At that point, we decided to chance leaving early as the rain had slowed down. The guy doing my sister's massage helped her out of her chair, but the woman who did mine was nowhere to be seen, so my sister helped me out and we paid and were on our way.

All in all, it was a little bit of a disappointing experience for my first time there and for what I paid. We did finish our pedicures right before they closed, so perhaps we didn't have the best timing. I would still try them again to see how the experience differed, though. It was still fun, and I enjoyed the overall place and time spent with my sister is always a plus!

This is the absolute worst place to get your nails done!  Do not go!!!!  I got my nails done on Sunday and today is Thursday and they are already chipping and horrible!  The customer service is horrendous!  I called to ask if they can fix it before I write this terrible review and the guy was defensive and pretty much telling me this is my fault!  It isn't my fault that you don't know how to do nails!  The guy who did this was awful and doesn't know how to do nails at all.  He probably learned on the streets and isn't certified to do it.  He hurt me when he was drilling too.  Just awful!  Please do not go!!!  If I could give zero stars, I would!  I hope this place goes out of business!  I will be blasting them a 1 star all over social media!!!  They don't deserve your business at all!  I HATE when people take advantage of others and this business is clearly doing that!  Just find somewhere else!

I've gone here consistently and been worked on by several different technicians.  I've noticed recently that the files, cuticle pushers and clippers are not sanitized.  He just pulls them right of a drawer.  I got clipped a few times and began bleeding and he just wiped the clippers off and put it back in the drawer.  I will not be going back.
