J’s Spa

They always see me last minute (with a smile!) and do a PHENOMENAL job! They take their time and make sure you are completely satisfied. Best nail salon in the area by far!!!

I’ve been the J’s Salon many times and was always a little less than impressed with the service. This time, however, takes the cake. If you go, make sure you DO NOT get Janet. Emily and Sue are kind and friendly, but Janet is rude and pays little to no attention to her customers. She was constantly texting while doing my nails and as result, they’re lopsided, the coat is uneven and she made my cuticles bleed. I asked for them to be a certain shape and she didn’t listen to me at all. I would only go if you make an appointment with Emily or Sue. Do NOT get Janet

If you want a relaxing massage this place may be fine and there are not alot of choices in the area. I walked in to the spa, talked to a woman there who sounded like she might know what she is doing. I made an appointment with her the next day. When I came they had switched the masseuse and she did not provide a deep tissue message. I pointed out where I had pain and she did not focus very much on that area. You get what you pay for ($ 49)

I just came from the «J» spot because I wanted a quick brazillian and didnt have an appointment with a more reputable salon. first impression of this place is low budget. really low.after sitting in thier «lobby» for about 15 mins. while watching the owner work on two females nails. impromptu gestures to me to follow her to the back room. NOW PEOPLE. .believe me when I tell you this room was not what you would want to be in when someone tells you to take off ya clothes. no hooks for your clothes. no chair.not even a table to put your clothes, purse, whatever on. I REALLY didnt want to put ANYTHING on the floor. the actual wax table had dirty used towels on top which was a real concern. then she rolled on some paper over the dirty towels. WITHOUT ANY GLOVES proceeded to wax me. and not in a gentle way. but like she was taking out frustrations. my «regions» were red and raw. didnt wait for wax to cool a bit. straight from jar to «regions» (I think she burnt my skin).to top it off. she left wax all insided places where wax shouldn’t be (I took pictures).then walked out the room and started back on the waiting women’s nails (hands just came out my regions ungloved).NEVER EVER again. had to come home and dig wax out my regions. skin is still red. this place should be ashamed to call themselves «a spa!»

Worst salon experience I have ever had. My nails won’t stop breaking off. My friends toe was bleeding and a small child of one of the people working was inappropriately touching customers.

I usually go to J’s spa for manicures and pedicures because their prices are the best in town and I know Emily and J will always do a good job. I wanted to write this review because I had such a good experience this past Friday when I decided to get a massage (only $ 45 for an hour!) and a Brazilian wax. Sue was amazing while working on my muscles. She checked in early on to make sure the pressure wasn’t hurting me (I know sometimes Asian massages are harder than people are used to) and she was great about working on my back. I sit at a desk all day so I build up all kinds of tension that causes me back spasms at night but I felt like a wet noodle after getting off of Sue’s table. J did a virtually painless job of waxing me. I think she might have used cloth strips, anyhow I was amazed because it hurt a lot less than the two salons I went to in NYC most recently. Very happy overall!

Only reason I went was bc I had a gift card. My friend and i were told to sit down and so they started. It literally took them 3 hours to do our nails bc they kept stopping to take other customers in between. Do not waste your time or money here. My nails came out like crap and so did my friends.

Terrible! Prices are inconsistent-​not even posted on the wall! Illegals living in the back, unlicensed massage therapist who speaks no English… I don’t understand how this place is in business!

The WORST!!! My daughter talked me into trying it because she knew the owner. It was FILTHY. I wanted to walk out but my daughter was embarrassed and begged me to stay. The owner worked on both of us, switching back and forth. She was on the phone the ENTIRE TIME, yelling at someone because her power was about to get shut off. We had shellac and instead of soaking my nails in remover she DRILLED the shellac off. It was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had. The manicure itself looked good… for a day. I have had shellac last weeks and weeks… but this was peeling by the second day. I wanted to report her salon. Surely she must be breaking any number of codes with her filthy premises and complete disregard for client care. But again, my daughter knows her and «feels bad». DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!!

$ 25 for a half leg wax– I am thrilled to find a price matching DC’s price! No where else are you going to find this in hhis area. I don’t need a spotless day spa environment which for me is just a monthly chore. What I do require is a nice person doing it who is efficient and effective. Done!
Thank you!

Never go to this place. If I could give it 0 stars I would. I saw all the terrible reviews of this place but went anyway because it was the only one around for a bikini wax, and because I wanted to support the local place. When I started the wax the phone rang she came in and brought the phone back with her, then proceeded to continue with my wax! Even though I kept saying you can wait. It was actually the most uncomfortable experience I’ve ever had. When she finished — after .2 seconds — i.e. The fastest and least enjoyable experience ever — I stood up to leave and noticed dirty underwear crumpled on top of the filing cabinet. The place was disgusting. As I was leaving she then proceeded to charge me $ 20 — a ridiculous price for the very few minutes she took and the fact that she was also taking a call. I can’t wait to get home to take a shower. Never go to this place. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

On Monday night @7:33 I stopped into the usual place I go tanning, because I was 3 min late they wouldn’t let me. My family and I happened to drive by J’s salon and saw an open sign. We called they were not in but said to give them 15 minutes and they would come. Sure enough 15 minutes later Janet and her mom I presume showed up and let me tan for 20 min for $ 7.00!!! I’ve read all these other posts and I must say it’s unfortunate… But don’t knock it until you try it!!!

I was on a business trip and decided to get a pedicure. Despite the previous reviews I decided to try them out anyway. Other than having my feet soaking for 45 mins (due to limited staff) the pedicure was not rushed or messy. I wanted to try a massage but the tech was by appointment only. If I’m in the area in the future I will visit this place again. You can’t beat a 60 min massage and pedicure for $ 68 bucks!!!

This place is awful. It is unsanitary and inconsistent. I was charged a price that was more than the one listed on the website, twice I showed up for a scheduled appointment and nobody had shown up to open the business and I was left in the parking lot to wait for 20 minutes before finally leaving. The second time this happened I went back later in the day as a walk in and when I mentioned this had happened to me twice and inquired about a possible discount she said of course, when I went to pain she charged me more than I had paid for the service the precious two times, that was my «discounted» price. The owner is rude and has awful business practices. I have this place a few tries and finally decided no more. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

If there was a way to give zero stars, I would. I have never had multiple terrible experiences at one place. It is my fault for going back, but I tried it more than once and it was a huge mistake. So as far as waxing, I walk into J’s and there is no one there on a random Wednesday. The place was empty. Finally a woman walks out and I can’t even interact with her because she barely speaks English. Finally I get the point across that id like my eyebrows waxed. She says she will call Janet, the owner in. This is a super nice gesture, since I didn’t have an appointment. So I was willing to wait. Janet arrived in no time and took me in the back to do my brows. She proceeded to move at the speed of light slathering hot wax all over my face (yes, it got in my hair and on my cheeks). Then she continued to race through the procedure. The end result was me left with completely uneven brows, size and shape. I’m really not sure why she needed to rush but whatever. It was terrible!!!
Now for the pedicure experience! My friend gave me a gift certificate for $ 50 to J’s. We decided we would get pedicures together. We made appointments, and when we went (it was a busy saturday) it was packed. They had all of their staff doing manicures, hair and pedicures for a bridal party. My friend and I waited a good 20 minutes just to sit and have our pedicures. We both ordered the total package pedicure which includes callus removal, hot wax dip, leg and foot massage and polish. Well my friend’s lady was taking her time and start to finish the whole thing took her about a half hour. No exaggeration, my pedicurist took ten minutes doing mine. She forgot to do half of what was listed in the treatment and painted my nails like she was blind. I waited 20 minutes for my friend to finish hers, when we had the same treatment done!!! And it was $ 50 for all of this!!! I am appalled at the service and I recommend no one be subjected to the horror that is Js nails!

This was the worst experience I’ve had at a nail salon. My friend and I walked in and hesitantly sat down as there were four other clients and only two women working. Two hours later we left and I was missing a small chunk of skin out of my big toe. Not to mention one of the ladies who worked there had her son with her. I felt bad because he just wanted attention but he was in my friend’s personal space touching her. I finally told him to stop right there in front of his mother because she wouldn’t. The gel polish started chipping within a few days because it wasn’t done well. I was highly disappointed but didn’t even want to go back to have it fixed because it would probably take an hour. Fortunately my toe healed and did not get infected. Needless to say, I would never go back.

They definitely have the best prices around, but corners are definitely cut to achieve this. The owner is the only person I’ve ever seen there and while she does a good enough job, she would certainly be much better if she was able to focus on one customer at a time.
Also– she used the same pair of nippers on my friend and I and the same nail file. I’m not sure how sanitary that is. I didn’t make a big deal of it at the time and I haven’t seen any ill effects from it, but I probably won’t go back only for that reason.

Got waxed here, was not prepped correctly and ended up leaving with hair still in its place and in pain. As other reviewers mentioned, she was distracted and trying to rush. Spend the extra few dollars at another salon and skip this experience.

I really enjoy going to J’s Spa to have my nails done, I have been going to Janet for my nails for a long time. I also get pedicures, waxing and use the tanning facilities when I am there! I can do everything I want to all in one place it’s great!
Janet it very pesonable and is always willing to sqeeze me in if I don’t have an appt. granted you may have a wait a little which is fine and it happens at any salon.
I would def recommend Js Spa!

Got a full leg wax here 2x. Plus side: She knows what she is doing and is pretty quick! Con: She was inconsistent. I went back a 2^nd time and she left wax on me, seemed distracted, and the room has lots to be desired compared with the rest of the salon. I agree with the other reviewer that I will keep looking. She is slightly more affordable than other areas, but I am not sure I will go back.
