Janes Nails

I have been going to Jane’s Nails for Years & Years. I have always thought the Owners to be completely Indifferent with No Personality at all.
The Staff dresses atrociously… Tattoos & tight tops, usually low cut and in poor taste.
Each time I sit for a Pedicure; the tub is dirty and i sit there while they spray a dab of bleach & Swish it around a few times. It should be CLEAN when I sit down.
The Garbage cans are filthy & they refill the lotion bottles with no name brands.
The little dishes that we soak our hands in were stacked on the shelf without being washed or sanitized.
They make a lot of money there & there is no reason it should be run so poorly with NO attention to detail
I am looking for a NEW Place that is clean and appreciates my hard earned money.

Not even 1 star should be given. I just downloaded this app and am writing my first review ever because that is how passionate I am about how much this place SUCKS. Absolute worst nail salon I have ever been to. I stormed out after 30 minutes of soaking my gel manicure in a bowl of acetone… Which anyone who gets biweekly gel manis knows that there nails are supposed to be individually wrapped to soak. My nails were soaking for so long because they didn’t have a nail tech ready and my long nails started to grow in to wear they were digging into my skin to the point where it was hurting so bad I couldn’t take it anymore. Finally a guy who spoke zero English got me and I told him how bad it was hurting and he didn’t even acknowledge my pain, cut all my nails off and made them so short because he realized they were distorted now and then continued to try to make me soak. I had enough and left after I complained to the owner how my nails were in so pain and so short now I was disgusted and all she told me to do was wash my hands. WORST PLACE EVER

Love this place! I drive 20 minutes out of my way to get to Janes Nails. They take their time and always do a good job. I have uv gel nails which do take longer than the regular opi gel manicure but they last for over two weeks.
It doesn’t matter which person you get, they all do a fantastic manicure and I have never felt rushed even when they are packed. I highly recommend this nail salon!

When I go back to Madison I stop in here with my mom, aunts, sister… but it has definitely gone from a great nail spot to a run of the mill place with disgruntled women speaking in Spanish about their pedicure clients — some of us understand you, chicas — and it’s not nice all the time.
I will say the gel manicures here are excellent and last a long time.
The female masseuse does a great job and doesn’t hold back.
The pedicure service seems like they are just going down the list vs. taking the time to address what customers are looking for.
4 stars for mani and massage, 2 for pedis. 3 it is.

Expensive in general but they are very service oriented. The salon is beautiful with a large section of pedicure massage chairs. They have a great selection of regular and gel polish colors. I have been to quite a few other nail salons in the area and I have never had any issues with Jane’s, I just wish their pedicures had a little more of a massage quality to it and that they were open on Sundays/​later than 6:30.

I came here for a mani/​pedi and ended up only getting a pedi. This place felt more like a factory than a nail salon. On the plus side you were in and out on the down side I felt like a number. The best way I can explain is I felt like I was just part of their step by step routine.

I used to love coming here for my nail services. Since they moved from their last location, I think their service is not as good. I don’t like while a tech is doing a nail service on me if they talk in another language to each other. I actually heard one worker say to another a remark about another customer in their native language. I speak that same language and think that is rude and unfair to the customer. I think they should use clean tools each time too, since it is sanitary.
Atmosphere usually comfortable chairs, nice music, but prefer somewhere else.

I’m shaking my head in wonder– maybe the women walk out with pretty nails — however this place does NOT use clean sanitized tools. I walked in today and specifically asked if they use new/​sanitized tools. The polite women said yes. Apparently she does not understand. I sit down, she did bring a new file, then the nail tech walks over with the dirty plastic basket with used pumice/​brick — I politely asked for new once again and she said no, just file. I walked. This is the second place today (I’ve never walked out before — never) I guess ²⁰⁄₂₀ has really opened my eyes. I’m not paying for fungus thank you! Where is the board of cosmetology?

I have been here 4 times so far and it is pretty good. Very pretty space, very clean. Average price for the area and they have enough stations to keep things moving. But I suggest always having a reservation as it is very busy. Last time i was there I brought my own polish with me and something was wrong with the polish it was drying bumpy and strange. I said I would live with it as I had brought it, it was my fault and it was xmas eve I didn’t want anyone staying late for me and they were very busy. They picked out new colors for me and repainted my toes while I got my nails done and made sure I was happy with it before Ieft. They did not charge me extra for anything. They just wanted to make sure I was happy and looked nice for the holiday. I was extremely appreciative to them. I always tell my gf’s if you want good service in a nail salon, become a regular. They notice and appreciate it. Also they gave a free pedicure and a calendar to their regulars for xmas.

My go to place for pedicures. I love it here — the place is clean and comfortable. I never have an appointment and have never had to wait long (5 – 10 minutes) sometimes they can take me right away. All the girls do a great job — huge selection of polishes. All the girls are great, I love the foot massage — best part! I heard one girl today ask for an extra long foot massage, I’m not sure if that adds to your cost, but it would be well worth looking into!
I have gotten manicures here too a few times and they are nice but don’t come close to the pedi experience. Mani/​Pedi combo on m/​t/​w = $ 25 can’t beat that price! pedicures are 20 and they also give a great eyebrow wax for 9.

Been going to Janes since it opened, and always ask for an appointment with the same person. She was off yesterday, so I made an appointment but without specifying which tech. The manicure lasted less than 15 minutes. At the end, there was visible dirt under one nail, and polish on my fingers.
On the way out, I complained to the owner, whose response was a shrug. Doubt that I return.

I have been coming here for YEARS… 8 maybe? I used to get gels and always went to the same person. First, the woman I loved left, then I found a man who was great and he left, finally I went gel free and stopped making appointments, as the wait fro walk-​ins is never too long. The last 3 times I have gone, I have had TERRIBLE manicures. 2 of those were regular manicures, and 1 was a color gel manicure. When I got the color gels, the woman forgot (?) to go over one hand with nail polish remover so each nails was sticky and bumpy looking. Today, the manicure lasted all of 15 minutes. The 15 minutes included me pointing out several nails where she had painted over cotton fuzz leaving a bumpy surface, and the woman needing to go back and re-​polish. After the 15 minutes, a few nails still have rough edges and there is paint on almost every finger. My mother was sitting next to me and since she opted for a translucent pink, it was easy to see that her nails had not even been thoroughly cleaned. The pedicurists (never had a problem here) told us that we should inform the owner (Jane’s husband, I think) on our way out. He asked if we would like to «try again.» Without time for that, he closed his eyes and shrugged, which I took to mean «eh, we don’t really need your business.» Well, I don’t need to drive 20 minutes to get a crappy manicure either, so I will be seeking out other salons; I recommend you do the same.

Janes gives the best mani/​pedis in Madison. The place is clean and nicely decorated with a large staff, so you rarely have to wait long. They have an extensive arsenal of colors and the mani/​pedicurists are nice and efficient. The only downside is that they are closed on Sundays which is unfortunate as I’m only ever in Madison on the weekends.

Great place for a manicure! I got a reasonably priced gel manicure here ($ 35). I was pleased that a soak to remove my old gel was included in the price, as some other places I’ve gone will charge you extra to remove the old gel polish.
The staff was courteous, efficient and QUIET — I know some people like to chat, but I don’t want to engage in forced conversation. But that’s just me.
I called ahead for an appointment and was seen right away. In and out, but didn’t feel rushed. Exactly what I’m looking for.
Two thumbs up!

This place is the nicest nail salon in the area. There is never a wait, the girls who work here are friendly and professional. MUCH better than Madison Hill that makes you wait even when no one is there. You can’t beat the $ 25 mani/​pedi deal on MTW.
Some other reviewer said cash only. that is not true. I’ve paid with credit card every time. Others have complained about the wait. Don’t go at 3pm — that’s prime mommy and me time over there. If you wait until 5 the place is EMPTY. Also as for being closed on Sundays… they are open every other day of the week and if you’re a regular you know the same people work almost every day — so they deserve a break!

I have given this place more than one try in my search for a good nail salon in Madison. Everytime I go in, it is super busy and I’ve had to wait at least a half hour. Even with an appointment, I’ve had to wait and they rush you in and out with barely any massage time on a manicure or pedicure. Part of the reason I go is to enjoy myself and relax. I figured getting an eyebrow wax would be easy enough for them to handle and I wound up going to my sister’s baby shower the next day with scabs around my eyes because they burned me! I also feel like they all have very stuffy, judgmental attitudes. I will not be going back there again!

I’ve been here about 4 times now. They do sanitize and the place is very clean… the price is okay it’s not inexpensive but it’s not super expensive. A manicure is $ 10 and a pedicure is $ 25. I trusted them enough to do my eyebrows and they did a good job. I’m satisfied with my experiences maybe next time I’ll splurge and get myself a spa pedicure to see if it is really any different. They do take appointments and I will say I’ve not had to wait more than 10 minutes for a chair. Jane’s nail is a finely tuned machine and they will get you in and out asap!

Love this place. It’s usually packed but so much better than everything else in the area, so totally worth the wait.

Once I had a few days to get over my Soprano’s-style nail salon experience, I realized this place was actually quite a good deal. $ 25 mani-​pedi on Wednesdays (I think?)… and we are talking spa mani/​pedi.
Be prepared to wait a WHILE unless you have an appointment. Even at 3:00 on a Wednesday, my sister and I, though we were taken almost immediately, couldn’t sit together in this 30-​chair establishment.
However, they did a very nice job and only use Essie products (my favorite), which makes it as nice as any of the BlissSpas I’ve been to and paid twice the price for.
I will definitely be coming back for sistah time.
Cash ONLY!

Very clean, very quick, not bad price for the area. Only down was my feet were not scrubbed enough and I still had a little bit of roughage the next day. I prefer this much more than the other place at the Madison/​Chatham border on Main Street where I had to wait an hour and then after my mani had to wait another 40 min for a pedi.
