J&J Fine Nail

I was charged $ 41 for a gel manicure (everywhere else I’ve gone it’s always been around $ 20. When asked how much to add to my check (for a tip), I said $ 5 (normally, I would’ve added 20% but I wasn’t happy about the price of the gel manicure) they added $ 8.
Update: the gel only lasted a week and a half. (Every other place I’ve gone the gel lasts for 3 weeks.)

This place is unbelievably cheap! I think its $ 23 for a mani/​pedi during weekdays, with a slight upcharge for using your credit card. My manicures from here generally last me about a week, which is great. So it’s worth the five and a half block power walk from my office during lunch.
Two stars off for consistently long wait times, limited colors, and a few staffers who have missed cuticles and cut my nails down to the skin. Also, as far as I can tell, they don’t pull their instruments from a sealed bag, which I thought was the law now. But overall, for the area, its a decent spot.

I really like this spot. $ 8 for a mani (everyday) and $ 22 for a mani-​pedi (Mon-​Wed). Place is clean, crowd is nice and the technicians are quick but also through. I have never felt rushed.

Mani Pedi is now 22 M-​W. Love the staff, they are efficient, friendly, and very detailed.
Yes on a M-​W you will have to wait a while but obviously if they sucked no one would be waiting.
CC is extra like anywhere else they will charge you tax when you use CC but at least you can add tip to it.
They close at 8 but will easily take you at 7:30/7:45 for a mani pedi.
Also love the random movie selection they always have rolling.

Waited today for one hour and was told just fifteen minutes. My fault and should of left but had no
Choice. The staff are overworked and treated poorly by management. If in a rush DONT GO. CHARGE RXTRA FOR CC

Got a pedicure last week. The nail technician made me bleed, taking too much skin off my big toe during cuticle trim. Painful.

The lady that did my pedicure and manicure was in a rush but she did an amazing job especially especially with my mani. I went last week Wednesday after my co-​worker told me about the $ 20 special (Monday — Wednesday) but they recently increased the price to $ 22 which is still a steal so I didn’t mind checking out the place. Usually a manicure and pedicure special is $ 29.99 or $ 35.00 in the city. I didn’t know what to expect so I read most of the reviews on Unilocal to give me an idea of what I should expect.
I’m happy I checked out the place because the place looks clean, they use Essie and Opi polishes and they offered the massage chairs too. What I’ve most excited about is the fact that my manicure still looks good after five days. Usually my mani’s last 3 days max. They only complaint I have is that technicians do rush to get you out of the chair. The place wasn’t not pack so I don’t get the sense of urgency. Nevertheless, I’m a happy customer.

Very pleasant technicians and owner. I went at lunch on a Wednesday and the place was bustling but quiet — that is to say, no small talk but super super fast work.
It’s a good place to get your nails done in a pinch but not if you want to decompress a little. Stars off for questionable cleanliness (though I figure, since the place was packed with regulars, it couldn’t be THAT bad) and for an over-​zealous cuticle trim (can you say ow?!).
With the $ 20 mani/​pedi deal, I don’t regret going but I don’t know that I’ll be back. (at least not without exploring other offerings in the area)

This salon was awesome! They were busy but they took their time and didn’t rush at all. The service was phenomenal, very relaxing and top notch quality. And you could not beat the price, mani and pedi for $ 25! And you even get a little massage when you’re done with your service and waiting for your nails to dry! Definitely a hidden gem in the city!

Can’t beat it, $ 20 mani/​pedi! It’s good quality and they got me in and out in less than an hour. I will be back.

For $ 20 M-​W I thought this place was too good to be true. I’ve been to several nail salons in the city and I’ve never had a manicure last so long. Worth every (little!) penny.

Definitely affordable! And eight dollar manicure in that location is pretty amazing. The nail salon is situated right next-​door to lash forever. I checked it out before my last appointment. I did not have an appointment and I was seen very quickly. I did go around 3 PM on a Thursday. The place was clean and had more than enough people in it. My technician was not Chaddie, which I like. I wouldn’t say it was the best manicure I’ve gotten, but for a dollars I really am not going to complain. I definitely will go back when I have my next lash appointment. I wouldn’t make this my home salon but I definitely would check it out if I am in the area.

This review is really late… but I used to come here all the time. I went in before Thanksgiving because I was going to travel home to FL. The girl who was doing my pedicure accidently cut literally a pin size wound on my big toe… i didn’t think anything about it. until a week later when I had major issues with my foot. it was completely infected with staph. I have not been back since. I honestly haven’t been back to any nail salon in the city because it was just so incredibly painful what they had to do to me at the doctor. Please beware of this place!

Cheapest place around town! $ 20 for mani-​pedi and $ 8 for a mani! It’s not the fanciest place but they do a decent job and it’s pretty clean!

$ 30 for a shellac mani. Very happy with cleanliness. I asked for them not to cut my cuticles and she did anyway but she did a good job.

Went in with a girlfriend. We both asked for a «gel manicure» which the lady said was 20 dollars and the price list also says 20. When we
called they said they had a 8 dollar manicure, so a 20 dollar gel manicure seemed to be on par with their prices. When she charged us she said 30. And I said no… we asked for gel manicure which the sign clearly says 20. She then says nooooo you got «gel color» which apparently is different somehow. We asked what the difference is and she said it’s like a regular manicure… which can only be interpreted as it’s a manicure with gel polish and no UV light, or regular polish under a UV light. Both seem kind of unlikely. Regardless I was there with a friend, who witnessed this. I did not ask for «gel color». If you provide to similarly named services with a 10 dollar difference it is up to you to clarify and not decide that I want to bogus upgrade.
No apologies were given. She basically shamelessly did a switch on us which is terrible.

Did a quick afternoon walk in on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but I didn’t have to wait. The technicians were nice, but the vibe was a bit off. It might be that there are no windows in the space. It also didn’t strike me as the most sanitary of tools but I felt like I got what I paid for.

Great deal for a quick cheap mani-​pedi. On Monday-​Wednesday they have a super deal for mani-​pedis — only $ 20. The only down side is that there’s often a line of people waiting and they don’t take appointments.
Great selection of essie and OPI nail colors.
I would recommend this place if your not in a hurry.

So far, this is the best and most inexpensive spot I’ve found near work. Is this manicure/​pedicure going to change your life? No. But it’s only $ 20 on Mondays through Wednesdays. It gets pretty busy with the lunchtime crowd so get there either before or after lunch and you won’t have to wait long. Otherwise, be prepared to feel rush through your entire experience.

Mon-​Weds: $ 20 mani pedi. What a great deal!
Awesome selection of your usual OPI and Essie. It gets crowded right after work so come early.
They do a decent job, its been a few days and only one of my nails has chipped.
