Top Best 15 Nail Salons in Paducah, Cottle

nathan op Fannie should be running this place. She has more knowledge about everything in that store then any of the rest if the filks working there. She is very good at helping with all my plumbing needs. She is always so positive and happy.

Chito’s Workshop The staff here is exceptional!! Glynn in the paint department was extremely helpful and patient with my complicated paint needs! He got the color just perfect!

SignalNCO Real friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Just about everything you need all in one place.

Christopher Macon Hardware, Lumber yard and some auto stuff. So very awesome and blessed to have this store in town now!!!

Jimmy Brown Great hardware store

stacey brooks If you’re u want to have your nails done and laugh and joke and have a pleasant experience while your there then ask for Andy! He is definitely the one you want. I’ve been there before and literally have no interaction with the tech and watch Andys interactions with his clients and they are laughing and having fun. He is great especially with children. So I decided the past visits to ask for Andy and he didn’t disappoint! I won’t be going to anyone else. My nails are beautiful and strong. He definitely tells you like it is. He doesn’t hold back on anything lol I give him 5 stars for sure!

Freda Walker So pleased with the service we got, even though we showed up 30 minutes before closing...it was my daughters first set and of course, she wanted Hello Kitty! He did a wonderful job and was super patient. Thanks again.

Megan Boyd If I could give zero stars, I would first off let me say that my friend told me that this was a good nail place. I traveled about 45 minutes just to come here to get my nails done to be disappointed. I paid $50 for a full set for my daughter and then I paid $47 for a color change on my own nails. Never have I ever paid $47 for a color change whether my nails were long or not and my nails aren’t really even long they’re medium length. In some spot, you could still see the nail he didn’t cure the nail properly so I have lumps in my nails and my daughters are the same way. Do not recommend going to this nail spot even after showing the guy my problems he told me that it was still the price I shouldn’t have paid, but I did anyway. HOT MESS Update: I went back in asking about the price and on the pamphlet listing the prices it says nail polish change $15 it didn’t say gel specifically so I questioned why I was charged so much and the guy asked me to write down my information so that the manager could call me the next morning. It’s the next day so I called at 2:12 asking for the manager and the gentleman on the phone said he could only take my information. At this point I think they’re playing. Mind you they never gave me a detailed receipt.

Tiffany Russell I absolutely loved Tina! I haven’t went to get my nails done in ages so I had some anxiety when I first walked in but Tina made me feel so comfortable and did an amazing job on my nails!! I’d definitely come back again!!

Rachael Ottosen Phillip was awesome, very welcoming and professional. I absolutely love my nails. My best friend and daughter got their toes and hands done too. We are all very very happy with the results and atmosphere. We will definitely be back

Gina Garner Very clean, great service. Ive been to a few other nail salons in the Paducah area that are messy, lots of junk everywhere. This place is well organized and neat. Avi gave me a great pedicure, my feet feel amazing! I will definitely be back.

Madison McCuiston I went to Excel for the first time today and it is definitely going to be my go to nail salon. The space was clean and organized and the people were extremely friendly. They make sure you are happy with your nails and they do beautiful work! Overall a really great experience.

Katelyn McKenzie Easily my new favorite nail salon in Paducah! I drove by here a few times and saw it recently opened, and decided to give it a try for a pedicure. The shop is INCREDIBLY clean. I’m always nervous to try a new shop for a pedicure due to cleanliness risk, but I had zero concerns here. They use liners in the tub, individually sealed & cleaned tools, new sponges for callus treatment, etc. It’s also the most organized shop I’ve been in - polish was put up nicely and it made it easy to pick a color. The women working were incredibly sweet and very kind. They did a great job with the pedicure. Pricing was very affordable. I got their 3rd highest level of pedicure for $52 (not including tip); compared to other shops in town I’ve been to, this is actually a bit cheaper than comparable pedis. And I felt like the service itself was just a lot better here. They didn’t rush or leave my sitting unattended forever. I’ll definitely be coming back.

tylee henry I absolutely love this nail shop ! Very good quality and they really want to get to know their customers. I got a new acrylic set and have never been happier with how they came out. I want them to get more recognition and the prices are very reasonable ! The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming ! It is very clean and organized as well ! I can’t wait to go back and I can’t wait for them to grow as a business!!!

Lakyn Reynolds I went there for the first time. She repaired a nail, did a fill, and did a marble design. 10/10 and very good pricing! Will be going there from now on.

Charles Atwood My wife and I both asked for deluxe pedicures which was supposed to include a massage. They started on my wifes and she was fairly pleased to include the massage. I had 2 techs do my pedicure. When they switched out, the tech who finished up did not provide the massage and said we were complete. This was our first time there, so we decided not to say anything. However, its highly unlikely we will return.

Patricia Barnes This is the best place. The employees are so sweet and the manager is the nicest woman. They joke with you and make you feel at home

Kim Kershaw Love the work Mary and the girls do. Theyre all very friendly and have a very relaxing atmosphere. Always love how my nails come out. Never disappointed.

Chris otey Best yet! Anna at BB nails did the best very detailed. Service was impeccable definitely my new nail place and best prices in town. Highly recommended.

Tracie Morehead-Smith My daughter and I became regulars or so we thought at BBnails. Little at a time the salon turned into more of a daycare than a nail salon. It showed in their work as well. We ALWAYS tipped at least 20% even though many times we had to wait at least 45 minutes past our appointment time while others walked right past us and their work wasnt great. The final straw was when Anna got involved when we came in for a repair and she didnt do the nails to begin with. If you are one of their chosen customers congrats, if not...you better shop around

Gloria Johnson Very nice service...and i got exactly what i wanted. They do very good work.

Tracy Pendleton Got kids hair done

Robert Quigley Those people like to party nekkid Im telling you

Paula Quigley Best little Beauty Shop in town!

Debra Morefield Very good with hair

Teleeh Jones Lisa was sooooooooo amazing! This is my second time coming to her. She does my children’s nails and I absolutely love them. She is very kind and sweet! She got me to try something new and different and I love the way they turned out. Thank you Lisa!!!

Hayden Dunigan Lisa did an amazing job. She made my nails exactly how I asked. I have never been more satisfied with a manicure than I am today. I will definitely be coming back again

Catherine Vault Lisa is an amazing nail technician. I enjoyed her spirt, her beauty, and most of all her professional qualities she added to my nails! Thank you for making my day gr8!

Amber Key Lisa was very amazing! Came in not knowing what color or anything I wanted but she went straight into business and did her thing! I tried something new first time ever getting ombré and I absolutely love them! Need your nails done come to Queen Nail Spa on Southside Paducah Ky!

Amanda Hack Friendly staff who ensure you are satisfied before you leave. This is my go to for great service with a wide variety of colors to choose from. I recommend to anyone who is looking for a new nail salon with patient staff who put the customer first.

Kimberly I came to get my nails done and have for a very long time. Mike did them tonight and as always they do the best job that I have ever had. Everyone here is great, highly recommend!

Alyssa powell I use to go here a long time ago and they always did okay. Today, they were rude and unfriendly. They couldn’t even do a French tip. Everything was sloppy. They cured fur that got onto my nail. And because I kept saying I didn’t like it I was asked. “Where do you usually go?” I answered cherry nails. He replies, well you should have stayed there! I told them I would leave and pay for what they done which was absolutely nothing but clear nails and made me pay 63 dollars. I will never go back! I went to cherry nails and they done exactly what I asked for within 20 mins and only charged me 45. I have never left a bad review in my life, but this experience was horrible and unacceptable!!

Sarah Crabtree I come here often. Mostly because everywhere in Paducah doesn’t seem to do a good job, but at least these guys can always get me in. But I will most definitely not be coming back. I went in for a fill and polish change and I have never been more unhappy with my nails in my life. First of all, the guy who did my service used the most AGGRESSIVE bit on an e-file I have ever seen. I have been getting my nails done for 12+ years and let me tell you there is NO need for that aggressive of a bit for an e-file. He cut/burned me with it 7+ times. Honestly I had to stop counting or I was going to flip my top. Never in my life have I wanted to walk out in the middle of a service, but today I almost did. After it was all said and done I have misshapen “square” nails with polish and acrylic all over my fingers and the saddest excuse for a “matte” top coat I have ever seen. Spare yourselves and don’t bother coming here. Like I said, I’ve come here often. And no, I don’t know all of the KY rules/laws for nails places. However, I do know this places reuses all of their nail files (not the metal cleanable ones) one client right after another. I have watched them do it time after time. Drop files, brushes, utensils ect on the floor and just pick them up and keep on going like nothing ever happened. No sanitation or anything. Obviously this lack of regard bothered me, but didn’t stop me from coming back because my nails always turned out okay-ish. But certainly after today I will not be coming back.

Deandra Warner This is what my nails looked like a day after I got them done. The nail tech was very rough with my hands and even after I told him he was hurting my fingers, he was still rough with them. Then at the end, he asked if me or my boyfriend was paying and he charged 90 dollars for crappy nails when a full set is 50 and 10 for the extra length. I called them to have them fix it. They told me to come in “a little bit” so I waited 3 hours and went in. They refused me and I’m still trying to get them fixed four days later.

Sarah Mays I took my 3 year old daughter to get her nails done for the first time and it was an amazing experience they were so wonderful and nice my nails plus hers was only $125 we will definitely be coming back i tried to post a picture of mine and her nails but was not able to put the design and color of our nails was exactly like the picture I had shown love love love this place thank u for making my babies first time amazing

Janna Davis I always leave with a smile on my face! Emily and all the staff do an excellent job! This is the only nail salon that I will never regret going to! I always love my nails! Anna Nails is clean, friendly, quick, and great quality, definitely recommend for anyone in the area!

Tracie Young They don’t tell you about up charges and on the gel polish or on anything for that matter. Then charged me $70 for my mom’s pedicure, and charged me $100 for my nail which are not even close to what I asked for first picture is what I asked for and second picture is what I got. Then with the drill the guy sliced into my cuticles really bad to where when he put the acrylic on my nail my fingers were burning!!!!

Amy Adams Wonderful job on my manicure. I would love to see a more welcoming environment. It was my first visit, and maybe it is a difference in culture, but it felt abrupt. Although I could see by the interaction of the customer next to me that they can be quite friendly (obviously a regular customer) as they were discussing their children, showing photos, etc. I have zero complaints about the work done, but would have enjoyed a bit more interaction. They PREFER cash so just a heads up on that. Overall for the service & final product, it was a good visit.

Shantal Drysdale I paid $70 for a pedicure only to have the polish rub right off of my toes 40 minutes after letting them dry before putting my shoe on my feet. Its very disappointing and a waste of money. The pedicure was rushed and you couldnt even tell that I got a pedicure the next day. My heels are still rough and they didnt even try to help the calluses. I paid for the highest package to be able to get these types of issues taken care of. I am highly disappointed.

Jessica Paul The lady at the front of an extremely rude and doesn’t know how to schedule appointments. I called and schedule an appointment for 1:30. I showed up right on time and asked how long because there were a ton of people and a guest at every chair. She said 40 min. Even though I have an appointment? She said everyone has an appointment. I said that it was unacceptable that she should have called me and I would have come in at a later time and she said it wasn’t her fault they are so busy.

Emma Collier They are amazing. Was a walk in with my 5yr old niece and they got us seated immediately. Everyone was so patient and kind to her and let her sit in a chair next to me while I got like done. Even offered her some candy too!! Five stars!!!!

Sharon Carpenter-Beyer Jack did a great job on my Mani pedi with the Cateye polish. Definitely recommend him.

Bree Korycki Krystal keeps getting me RIGHT! Shes so detail oriented and takes her time so that you know your nails always come out looking on top! I recommend and make that appointment!!

Emily This is the best nail place I’ve ever been. They were nicest nail techs ever. The woman doing my nails was gentle and made conversation the whole time. She took her time doing my nails and they turned out amazing. These are the best my nails have been done. They also offered drinks, overall it was just very professional and welcoming.

Karyn Stevens This nail salon is amazing!!!! They deal with all my issues - super dry skin, severe back pain etc. i’ve had some great conversations with them. The owner is an older Vietnamese woman who doesn’t come in anymore, but her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and other relatives work there. They are all absolutely amazing. What a great family. I’ve tried other nail salons in Paducah and the salon by far is the best I found

Maria Moore I called about an hour before I planned on coming in. The gentleman who answered the phone and took my appointment was very polite and friendly. Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile and helped. The nail tech who did my French manicure was very sweet. She was very professional, nice, and patient. This was the BEST service I have ever received at a nail salon and spa. I will be sending over friends and family. I look forward to many appointments in the future.

melissa heider I went to Extravagant nails today bec my usual place was closed and I needed them done for tomorrow. I have very strong thick nails but had acrylics on to give me a little more length. My nails had grown almost as long as the acrylics so I asked to soak them off and I was just going to put shellac on top. The tech that did mine didnt soak them long enough and drilled them down to my actual nail and had taken length off the top making them shorter than I had asked for. The 3rd time he drilled on my nails I noticed my thumb nail and a few others were splitting extremely thin. Once I had pointed it out he offered to put acrylics on. I have my nails done regularly and this has NEVER happened. I ended up telling him that I didnt want color and left with them thin, uneven and breaking. On top of all that and speaking up about then not bring right they charged me to remove the acrylics.

Kelly Marie I took my mother today as a walk-in. She got a spa pedicure and full acrylic set of nails. We were completely blown away by the level of service, attention to detail, quality of expertise in doing nails and the reasonable prices! The owners are THE sweetest nail techs I’ve ever met! We will absolutely be back!

Gloria Harris-Adeotoye Hollywood Nails consistently provides an exceptional experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, always remembering customers names. The personalized service adds a welcoming touch to each visit. The attention to detail in nail care ensures a satisfying and enjoyable pampering session. Highly recommended for those seeking quality service and a friendly atmosphere.

Diana Caldwell Worst pedicure I’ve ever received in my entire life! She didn’t even finish removing my gel polish before polishing my toes. Didn’t clean the cuticle. I literally have to pay to get another pedicure. So disappointed.

Johnson Sherry (Choclatekiss46) Very very horrible I went got my nails done and they didnt even do a manicure and put a tip on didnt file it just fixed it up. Made all my cuticle bleed.

Michelle Burton We are new to the area so I have been shopping around for a good nail shop. I asked for a simple pink and white fill. The nails are not great. Will not return. The edges are lumpy and unfiled. The polish does not go all the way back so it looks like my nail is floating. The manicure left me with a bloody thumb...she put super glue on it..... The lady was very friendly and chatty. I liked her alot but in that kind of "that poor lady has to still work" kind of way.

Natasha Drain I will never go there again it was only one person. At first when it was just me and her she was taking her time then people started to come in she rushed my nail as soon as I left my paint chipped off it wasn’t fully dry she didn’t file my end I don’t recommend I paid 86 dollars just a waste I got them done Friday 01/31/2025

Allison Pratt These are the worst nails anyone has ever done on me.These look nothing like i wanted, it looks like she didn’t even try and she rushed through them. They are sloppy and bulky, she also cut my fingers multiple times. Definitely not worth $60!!

Holly Pratt Theese look nothing like I wanted the shape is all messed up I really do not think she tried at all she rushed and they are bulky just not what someone wants to pay over 60$ for and after I told her I didn’t like them she said nooo they look good and told me I had to CASH APP her.

Valerie Sanderson I went here because my nail place was on holiday. I got the Gel pedicure & dip on my real nails. The dip flaked off & was chipping off in chunks after 1 week. My real nails ended up breaking off because the dip was flaking away. My gel polish came completely off one of my toe nails after 1 week. Not to mention the price was double what I usually pay.

Katie Hertzog They are the best! My nails always look beautiful and they last! Havent had one pop off or break yet. I get compliments about my nails all the time. Way better than any other place I have tried in town

Gracie Barlow Super nice woman, I never got her name. So so sweet. She ended up having to do a pedicure so I got a man for my coloring. He seemed a little bored but did a good job. I asked him for a second coat as my color I picked was sheer and he argued a little saying it won’t look like the picture I showed him. I said that’s ok but I want it a little stronger color. He huffed and did it but other than that it was a good experience. I’m very happy with my nails. I was scared they’d be clumpy because it’s happened before at other salons but she did an excellent job with my acrylic. Also, they do ask that you pay cash just heads up

Lisa Hill 65 for a over lay and flat nails and some have dips ..no design

Jennifer Reed Very professional, clean and they were thorough. Made sure we got what we wanted. And they looked and felt great! Thx Henry and Pam

Dlliien Csfigentu My sister and I wanted to make her pre-wedding festivities even more memorable, so we came to this salon. The staff’s care and artistry turned it into an amazing experience. Our matching nails were gorgeous and became the highlight of the celebration.

Brandi Lindblad The language barrier effected the outcome of my nails. I wanted a color gel polish which was supposed to be included w a full set of acrylics and I tried every way possible to make my wishes known to the nail tech doing my nails. I said the word "color" to her atleast a half a dozen times in a half a dozen different sentences to make sure she understood that is what I wanted and still I ended up w a clear gel polish. Then when I asked why I was told that color polish doesnt go over white tips. Now having had white tips many times in the past at several different nail salons over the years I know that is definitely possible and done per the customer request. Did they try to make it right at that point even... No! Absolutely not in any way. They were more worried about getting the 3 Ladies started and done that just walked in last minute before closing time. I do not recommend anyone to go here. Customer wishes are not met. English is very well understood and intelligence is insulted. One star is even undeserved in my Opinion. Completely disappointed!!!

Jennifer Shaun I used to love going here but today was my last time. $50 for gel polish is INSANE and $105 for acrylic with cow design on 2 nails that took almost 2 hours to do and two nail techs to accomplish. Quality has really declined in the last few months. Please try somewhere else.

Erycah Edwards I used to ask for manicure but never got one. But my nails always look good! I get acrylic & chellac! Usually lasts 2-3 weeks before I need them filled. Cost about $55. Photos taken 3 days after got them done!

Katrice Wedley They literally charge for every single thing meaning the shape of the nails, extra length, and all none of the extra charges are posted on the price list in the window. Not to include I checked my card transactions this morning and instead of $84 showing on the receipt they charged me $100. Will not go back there and get my nails done cause it’s way over priced and work is not even that good
