T&T Nails in Kearney, NE

This is the absolute worst place i have ever ever been!!!! I when in on my 18th birthday for a manicure and pedicure first off the shop was very dirty they didn't even rinse out the pedicure bowl. While the man did my pedicure he screamed at me because i changed my mind on the color but i told him before any paint was applied too my toes. I stayed calm and polite even after getting yelled at, then the lady at number 2 took over too do my acrylics i asked for short brown french tip square nails. The tools they used were not disinfected and she didn't apply glue too the tips at all!! She ripped my cuticles up and my nails were burning very bad. they came out nothing like the picture they were bumpy swollen there's a hair in the acrylic and many air bubbles! it's only been about a week in a half and 2 of the nails fell off and they were green!!!!!!! My nails are infected and all my toe nail polish came off. I called the shop and talked too the owner and he told me good luck next time. please save your money do not go too this place NK nails is much better i paid 95 dollars for nothing! and i can't believe my nail was really green! please please never go here!

The lady was rude there when she had to redo my nails because she said I was in a hurry. She yelled in her language to another worker. This is a bad place to get nails done and I won't be back.

If you would have asked me 5 years ago what the best nail salon in Kearney was... I would have said T &T hands down. Unfortunately after my experiences in the last year with their business, I will be going elsewhere. I have been a loyal customer since the beginning but I have simply had enough. Yesterday my mom and I decided to go for pedicures. The man doing my mom's pedicure was incredibly rude and clearly in a hurry. His work showed that he couldn't cared less. I was bummed that she had to experience him anyways, as I would consider him the laziest employee at T &T. The man doing my pedicure never asked me what package I wanted and just started in, also resulting in poor work. For the past year, I have been getting my nails done at t &t once a month. The fact that they start closing for the night over an hour before they actually close is aggravating. Bumping into my chair with the vaccum and expecting me to move out of the way is not great customer service. Also tired of hearing the owner YELL constantly, either at her employees or on facetime (which is weird in itself). All i want is a relaxing, clean, experience, but unfortunately T&T cannot offer that anymore. Considering that I have spent a large chunk of money there and get treated poorly has me in search of a new salon.

I will never be back. I am a retired nail tech with the education and experience behind me to say what I'm about to say. My daughter and I only went here based on the fact that a couple of my friends went here. My normal salon was booked and I just wanted to spend some time with my daughter. I don't usually go to "nail chop shops" because in Nebraska they are not required to hold licenses to perform "natural " nail care. Lesson learned and gut listened to.
Other than waiting for a hot minute,  they did not use liners in the foot baths which I found strange because of the volume of clients they were handling. They were using Lysol spray multi purpose cleaner in the basins to clean between clients. According to the label, that particular cleaner needs to sit for at least 90 seconds before being wiped out (with hot water) in order to be effective. Yeah....that didn't happen.
At first, my pedicurest was great. Very gentle where it counted, but then pulled out a USED nail file and buffing block. The file he used was a basic Emory board which is UN sanitizable and a buffing block which can be sanitized but was clearly NOT! I'm clinging at this point and thinking I jus need to walk out, but being me, I needed to put my own health at risk and see how this ended .
I knew that if I needed to soak my feet in Listerine later just in case, I could.
While waiting to finish up, my daughter noticed some debris under the massage chair control on my chair. She lifted it up, only to reveal nasty nail clippings and polish debris all over the arm of the chair. GROSS!!!
Everything else went smoothly until our pedicurests decided we needed to sit at the drying table to finish.  We had to walk across the disgusting carpet, full of nail debris, to get to  the drying station. Well, my feet were "clean".
Needless to say, hurrying through sanitation processes in order to turn the next dollar is completely unacceptable.

I could go on and on about all of the things you need to look out for when attending to hand afoot care, but would probably run out of room.

As someone who is educated and has been licensed in Nail Technology for the state of Nebraska, please don't blindly walk into any place to handle this care. There is a reason they are so cheap. If you prefer a perfect manicure or pedicure accompanied by a staff infection with a side of medical debt, by all means go to a heavily rotated nail chop shop!
If you want a beautiful mani/pedi and know that you won't need a tetanus shot when you're done....seek out an educated, licensed nail technician, I beg you! In order to be licensed in the state of Nebraska,  we require 300 hours of education. 15 of that is using an electric file. If they are using an electric file on you with a regular sanding bit and you wonder why it burns.....
HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!!!!

Worst nail experience ever hands down. I went to get my old acrylics removed and a new set of french tips put on. I have never said 'ow' so many times during an appt in my life and it clearly didn't matter. Extremely painful and after getting my old ones removed I said I would pass on the new ones. He didn't even bother to clip my nails. I left in pain with absolutely ragged hands. I was so shocked I just paid and walked out although I can't believe they would even charge me after all of that. I will definitely never be back.
