Kinohana Nail Studio

First time doing pedicure here and I have a pleasant experience. Both the manicurist and another experienced manicurist who was guiding her are gentle and patient. I feel so comfortable during the session that I can concentrate doing my work. They also served me with water. The ambience of the nail studio is cozy and relaxing with music. I am happy and satisfied with my pedicure. Thank you!

Honestly best nail experience I’ve ever had!!! Super great vibe and environment in the salon with super comfy chairs The nail appointment was so smooth and nice, nail tech was experienced and always double check with u with every step, definitely worth coming!!

Came back for a gel manicure and the manicurist is very skillful and gentle. Strongly recommended to visit and try. Their style of nail painting is also v unique

I had a very disappointing experience at Kinohana Nail Studio. I arrived at 6:20 PM and only finished at 10:20 PM, meaning a simple nail design with no extensions took 4 hours and cost $158. Halfway through the appointment, I had to simplify my original design because it was taking far too long. Li Min was unable to complete some of the details, such as the flower and starfish, and another nail artist had to assist with those elements. Even with two people helping at different points, the appointment still took over four hours. I appreciate that the final nails looked nice, but the overall experience was extremely frustrating. I have had similar designs done by more experienced nail artists in around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, so the amount of time spent here was unreasonable. For a salon charging $158, I expected better time management and a technician with the right experience for the requested design. Unfortunately, I left feeling that my time was not respected, and I would not recommend this salon.

Went there for a gel manicure and was very happy with the outcome. However when I went back for the gel soak off and manicure (without polish), I was left disappointed - the base/gel was not properly removed entirely so what was left are small patches here and there on each nail (attached are some pics on what it looks like that afternoon after returning home from the nail studio). Also there were line cracks on my thumb nail after the soak off (see pic) and the stylist did not even bother attending to it such as bringing up if I would like a nail strengthener etc. She just brushed the cuticle oil on the cuticle area on all fingers and went off. On a separate note, it was also rather strange that I had to go to the toilet area to wash my hands before coming back for her to apply the cuticle oil. Have been to so many nail salons in Singapore and overseas over the years and this was the first time I had to do so which was very puzzling… [Response to nail salon’s reply] Please train the manicurists on a regular basis. I have never come across such a bad soak off + manicure (without polish) outcome in my life - even JB nail salons do a much better job with highest level of attention and service for half the price. Yes I understand I have this issue with my thumb nail and other nail salons have always went above and beyond to address it when they see it instead of turning a blind eye to it. Also, other nail salons use sanitized fresh hot wet towels at the end before cuticle care as part of the experience rather than asking the customer to go to the toilet to wash their hands. For the price the nail studio is charging (which is comparable to other popular nail salons with good reputation), it would be good to review and upgrade the entire customer experience.

This is my trusted nail salon. There is some movement in staff and this time I got a new nailist to do my pedi. She is pretty experienced but can’t get my desired colour and a little slow. I got my pedi done after 1 hour 45 mins which is 15 minutes longer. What made my day was the director stepping in and got the colour mix of my choice. That made my day

The nail tech who did my pedicure was very gentle and thorough, especially when it came to the nail prep :) The design was very cute as well, and she would check in to make sure that I liked the design/colours. Would recommend/come again!

Femi is an amazing nail artist who truly pay attention to every detail. She’s sharp in her choices, gives thoughtful suggestions and never once feels pushy or hard selling. Overall, it’s a pleasant and relaxing experience.

After the first pleasant experience, I came back for another style with Hui An. She is amazing and attentive to details, the end result goes beyond my expectations. Even I don’t live in Singapore, this place will become my must visit every time I am visiting. Thank you Hui An, see you next time!

I have been with Kinohana for years. Manicure and pedicure are done nicely and they are very detail-oriented. I’ve seen my nails getting healthier and better looking. And for this time I did a heart shaped cat-eye gel manicure, simply love it 🥰 will definitely keep returning here💗
