J Kay’s Nail Salon

The worst experience I’ve ever had. The lady uses the tools take out of her draw with no sterilization. I insisted her to clean them and she’s not happy with it. I saw the other lady worked there used the tool to the following customer with just a simple wiping with napkins. Hell no coming back to the store again!

This nail salon is convenient for anyone that lives in the sheepshead bay area, each time I come to this nail salon there is hardly any long lines or wait time
the options in terms of nail colors are great, they have luxe effects, lots of OPI limited edition colors, great neon selection, awesome glitters polishes too
the gel colors to choose from is also good, they have anything from white, to black, and neon colors as well, they have a large range of brands as well
the manicures here are at good prices, 6 for manicure, and 20 – 25 for color gel
they also do a decent job in acrylic and uv gel sets, but expect to sit in the chair for a while if that’s what you choose, they take their time
the eyebrow waxing here is awesome, they talk to you while they wax you so you are distracted from the pain, they are quick and do a great job in shaping your eyebrows, I also never had a problem with their lip waxes either, no irritation
the pedicure chairs also very clean, all tools are sanitized, and their lotions smell awesome, when I tried to turn on the massage option, the chairs didn’t work :/​they need to repair them
Amanda really does care about her customers, she is so friendly and sweet, very patient, and tries to get to know everyone on a personal level and really does appreciate everyone’s business, especially for the locals in the neighborhood, she does a great job she is neat and is generous with the amount of polish she applies
I think what holds me back from giving this place 5 stars is the décor, they could use some new chairs and carpets and drying stations, everything looks outdated, and sometimes they forget to refill the nail supplies like the quick dry sprays and oils which do make a difference in terms of drying time.

They changed he name and ownership recently, but most of the workers remain. I’ve gotten mani and pies every week here for years and there are only one or two of the workers that are slightly subpar… but I won’t mention names.

EYE-​BROW THREADING: AMANDA is the BEST! worth waiting for~
