D & J Nails

I called up there because I wanted to get me gen nails done, the lady who answered the phone said there was no need for and appointment and that I could walk in. I got there at 6:20 and they close at 8. I was turned away at the door because there was a woman already waiting to get her nails done that had just walked in before me. When I fist walked in The lady upfront just looked up at me and back down. The lady working the front station said they wouldn’t have enough time to do mine and ill have to come back the next day. I told her I worked the next day and all she said was «oh okay well sorry» and went continued on like I was not standing there.
I went to another nail salon up on Knox where they did my nails, beautifully, that same night right before they closed.
I later returned to this nail salon to get the nails removed. Yet another annoying experience. The lady was extremely rude the whole time, she often left me soaking my fingers in acetone for extensive periods of time while she worked on another lady, and when she came back to check on my nails she wasn’t gentle at all! I had skin peeling off of my hands because she left me there for so long. I never want to step foot in this salon again. She even at time frequently said the cost as if I wasn’t going to be able to pay since I’m young!

I like this place. Its a hole in the wall nail salon and those are my favorite kinds. Its busy the majority of the time and the wait time can be long if you don’t have an appointment. The boss lady does an awesome eyebrow wax!

I don’t think they sterilize their utensils after every us. They are nice people and I feel bad posting this, but I think people should know.

In Dallas for the evening and chose this place via Unilocal reviews. Scheduled me in 30 min on a Saturday! Friendly greeting from all the staff and got started on my toes right away. The other clients were friendly and talkative as well. Wonderful massage and fun location. Enjoyed the live music of Bishop Arts and college football on the tv. This place is great, and an awesome start to my night on the town. Thanks guys! :)

I absolutely loved going to Tina for my regular sets and Nexgen! However, after hearing «Tina is busy, can you come tomorrow?» too many times from the lady who answers the phone, I’m done. I always call before I go and I understand that any time after 5pm could definitely be busy. But you mean to tell me that my preferred tech is booked from 2pm until closing on a weekday?
In my most recent issue, I was asked to come back at 4pm the next day after calling around 3pm. I’m positive the phone lady suggested I come back at their opening time at 10am then changed her mind. Another time I called for a polish change and was told to come back the next day in the afternoon since opening time was «busy». I popped up about an hour after opening and the place had no customers. I don’t understand their problem at all.

I got my gel manicure over three weeks ago. Started peeling today. 9 out of 10 nails still look amazing (except that they are growing). That’s pretty impressive.

I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, but my pedicure turned out to be one of the best I have ever had! (And I’ve been to some snazzy spas in the past). The young man that did my pedicure was very attentive to detail. I felt like he made sure every nail looked perfect, which you rarely experience for a $ 25 pedi. I will certainly be returning in the future.
FYI: only 4 people work there so appointments are highly encouraged. I was told that weekdays were the best days to stop in.

Terrible experience. Walked in this Saturday morning around 10 AM after passing by the huge sign on their building that states «Walk-​Ins Welcome». I proceeded to park my car, and then I walked in. I was greeted by a woman at the back of the nail shop screaming, «What do you want?» I said, «I would like a pedicure, please.» She then said «Come back later!» I politely said, «Okay. What time?» She waited about a minute before screaming, «2:30!»
I asked just for clarification, «Do you all not accept walk-​ins? Because your sign outside on your window states otherwise.» Then one of the male techs screams, «We are booked! Goodbye!!!»
I get it– it is Saturday morning in August at a nail salon, but they had only been open for business for one hour. I felt dismissed. I will never come back to this place of business. Very, very rude. Their sign should state, «Appointments Only» or «SATURDAYS: By Appointment Only». Don’t waste your time looking for parking in the busy Bishop Arts area to come to this salon– you might be turned away!

I really like going to this nail salon. It’s a bit cheaper than other places and the woman who runs it is so kind. Of course like all the other nail places when you’re told 5 minutes it can really mean 15 but for some reason this place doesn’t make me as frustrated as the other places. Maybe it’s because they’re more thorough or maybe it’s because they actually smile and are nice. Either way whenever I can, I choose this nail salon.

I’ve been here multiple times and even after making an appointment typically wait 30 minutes past appointment time.

I have been coming to this business off and on for the past 3 years. They are a small, locally owned Bishop Arts salon. Customer service waxes and wanes with wait times and services offered.
For the most part, they are friendly and offer water bottles to keep hydrated. Their spa pedicure with their new machines is pretty awesome. Prices can be a bit higher than area norms.

This was my first time here. I was in the area waiting for a car repair and decided to stop in and get my nails done. I received the best pedicure ever since I have in Dallas (9 months) and I have been in search of a great pedicure. Tina is the business on the pedicure. Time is detailed oriented, careful, gentle, and great at responding not to specific needs. She also does an excellent French pedicure.
And an awesome thing I have never seen, is they line the basin of the pedicure tub with this giant shower cap. Talk about protection.
I also got solar, pink and white nails done. They are well done and look fantastic. I can’t remember the lady’s name who did my nails, but she was professional, careful, and made sure I was happy with the result.
I will definitely be back.

I went there for the first time yesterday and was really pleased with my experience. I went mid-​day and was seen right away. Mostly, I was impressed with the time spent on both my manicure and pedicure– she took her time and was really thorough. Price was great for the service and everyone was friendly. Don’t be turned off by the simple appearance– everything was clean and I recommend.

Make an appointment because they can be super busy espcially on Saturday or after 5pm. Walk-​ins can be either super lucky or very disappointed. It’s definintely worth the trouble to call ahead. Also very friendly and the attention to detail is above and beyond most nail salons.
Very happy customer for 5 plus years.

My new favorite nail spot in Dallas. It might not have all the bells and whistles of other high end salons in the area; but you definitely get a world class staff with great detail and amazing service. The great and extremely cheap prices with the awesome quality easily makes this a win. Mani (shellac) with pedi– $ 55. :)

Love this place :) they always do a great job. I can usually get an appointment for the same day that I call as long as I call in the morning. They have a TV on so if you’re not a fan of TV noise like me take some headphones. They do get really busy on the weekends. Be prepared to spend a few minutes finding street parking. They do a fantastic job at a great price.

I go once a month.
For the prices excellent deal and pay the extra 5 bucks you get a decent foot massage and they scrub your feet.
Well worth it and you know your feet are cleaned and the mud on your legs and feet.
I’m here now.

Please disregard the review that gave 2 stars! They SANITIZE the equipment in machines in the back room. I’m looking at them as I type. I appreciate the fact that the equipment isn’t taking up the whole shop since it is small! They also do CLEAN, hot towels too! They’ve been open for a long time and could not have continued if they didn’t sanitize.
There’s always gotta be someone trying to ruin GOOD small businesses!
Great place! Been coming here for over a year now!

Update:
Jasmine A suggests they do sanitize their tools, and she provides a pictures of the sanitization machines. I will, however, be happy to post a picture of the actual rusty nail clipper. Having a machine doesn’t mean it gets used. To each her own.
Original:
If you want your manicure done with a rusty nail clipper, please go here. They do not sanitize their tools like other salons.
They get two stars because of their friendliness.

5 star pedi. That’s all that counts here. There’s way fancier locations to go. But, I’m a big fan of street tacos and corner pedicures, which lets me save for putting my fancies somewhere else.
Patrick may have done one of the more thorough pedicures I’ve ever had. Super detail oriented, not a touch of dead skin left. And he left me alone to read way outdated magazines.
My one suggestion would be to get a subscription to current smutty magazines. It’s what most of us want during a pedicure.
