AJ Nails

Worst pedicure ever!!! The woman was looking everywhere but at my feet. My feet are normal feet, nothing weird, so you would think she’d look at my feet while working on them. She only trimmed the cuticles on one foot, not the other. She went to trim my big toenail and I jumped… because she hurt me! She tried to cut too low and too much of the nail at once! She slapped the lotion on my legs… no massage like every other salon does! AND, She painted my nails so thick that they were all smeared within an hour of leaving there! Don’t waste your money here. I had to get another pedicure 2 days later somewhere else. Don’t be fooled by their Keurig coffee and stale cookie display. This place sucks!

Its ok for this type of salon. But the technicians skills are all over the place. I’ve had one great person and several terrible. Last time I went the woman didn’t get all the dark polish off my toes before painting them a lighter shade. So, it looked like I had dirt under my nails. Thats just sloppy work. I won’t be going back. I don’t like having to train the professional.

I would never go here again. A male did my nails. He glued on acrylics that were too big. They were literally in my skin. I tried showing him, he didn’t understand. Never again. They were painful to take off. They torn my skin and my nails. The guy was so rude. The place was so dirty as well. I saw a lady going to make coffee from the keurig and there was something white and pasty floating in the water. When she asked what was wrong the man doing my nails said nothing. I will never go here again.

Love love love this place! I will never go anywhere else, I have had nothing but amazing service here every single time I’ve been!

Favorite salon hands down! Beautiful and clean facility, great manager and my pink and white nails last me up to 3 weeks! No chipping at all! I’ve never had such great quality and service anywhere. So glad I found them!

Love Johnny, Theresa, Kim and the whole staff! They are so accommodating and friendly! They will never tell you they’re too busy they always squeeze you in! It’s a very inviting atmosphere and very clean! They also serve wine if you ask for it! Love this place.

I have found this gem of a nail salon, and while I don’t get my nails done often — am very impressed. All of the staff wears gloves while handling feet, and use new tub liners with each client. They also autoclave their nail tools, and use a clean set with each client. Very welcoming and clean environment. And not mention great work on the nails.

Needed a place to get a gel manicure. Not many places are open on Sunday’s so I took a chance with AJ’s despite the iffy reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. The place was very clean and very busy. The pricing was accurate and I was only charged the $ 25 like I had anticipated. They had a large selection of gel colors to choose from. My nails looked great when they were done! The service was great, the staff was very accommodating to all of the customers even through every employee was busy. My only «complaint» is that I wish they were better staffed.

I’ve never has anyone be as precise as Gina in making sure the polish on my toenails was so even and perfect.
The salon is bright modern and well staffed. They even have pastries if you have to wait even though the longest wait I saw was maybe 3 minutes.
The only improvement I could suggest is that they get magazines so bring your own when you come. A very small inconvenience for the rest of the package.

Always very friendly and it is very clean. They do a great job with shellac nails and I am always in and out very quickly. Great place!

I can only speak for acrylics because that’s all I’ve had done here.
$ 50 for a set of acrylics with a colored acrylic tip. Right off the bat, I had very high expectations because of the price. Overall, my nails were okay. Had these been $ 30 nails, I would have been fine with them.
Some nails were slightly crooked, I had to file them myself when I got home to make them look even. Some nails were a little longer than others. I had two black hairs from the nail brush stuck in the acrylic of my nails. The nails did not have a very good «c» curve. Some nails looked very flat, both from the side view and from a front view of the edge of the nail. A pinching tool would have helped. The acrylic nails ended up being a little wider than my real nails so they looked a little bulky. My cuticle area was not cleaned and some acrylic got too close to that area and I ended up having some lifting in those areas two days later.
I expected much better quality for the price. I can easily get the same quality that AJs has at a different nail salon with cheaper prices.

I came here while visiting Sarasota — just picked it randomly because it was nearby and I wish I had one where I live ! I got a gel manicure and they were SO quick without sacrificing efficiency. There price was also about 15 dollars less than any salon I frequent at home.

Super nice staff. Clean and organized salon. Beautifully done pedicure. If I had time I would have stayed for a manicure. They even had the game on for the guys. I would recommend this nail salon to anyone who asks. Great experience!

Great job! So nice!

I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works here is so kind and friendly, and their quality of work is outstanding. I’ve had manicures, pedicures, gel polish, and bikini waxes done here and they’ve all come out fabulous. I’ve tried a bunch of places in Sarasota but I don’t have to search anymore I’ll be coming to them for all my waxing and nail care needs from now on! Thanks guys!

Very nice experience today. The gentleman chatted with me and gave an excellent leg massage! All the reviews are correct about cleanliness. I enjoyed my visit today and next time I’m in town I will return

I seriously never thought I could enjoy manicure and pedicure sooo much! Clean, quick, precise, and executed beautifully. Staff was all smiles and didnt ‘talk behind your back’ not to mention they are all very pretty women who dress well! And my mani and pedi was 40 $ which is by far the cheapest i’ve ever had to pay for the best i’ve ever got! Will be returning. Very happy!!!

Really nice experience! Johnny, the owner, did my nails and despite knowing I was only visiting the city, did an expert job! He was a joy to speak to and obviously took his role very seriously. The shop was clean and bright and I noticed the pedicure chairs (I had a fill-​in) had disposable liners in the wash basin that I think is a MUST for a sanitary experience. Highly recommend!

I have been getting my nails done for about seven years now. At first, I’d just go from salon to salon because I was never really happy with the results.
When I walked into AJ nails, I was greeted with a smile and asked what I needed done. I had previously ripped off my last set of acrylics and wanted a new set. Johnny does AMAZING work. Every time I go in there no matter how much damaged I’ve caused on my nails, Johnny fixes them right up.
The staff here truly care about their customers and want to get to know them. The place is insanely clean and offers a variety of services and nail colors!

This is my new favorite nail place. It’s SO CLEAN! …and the nail techs do a great job. Bonus is they are all pleasant, but they don’t try to make any small talk and let you relax.
It’s located in the strip mall where Fresh Market is near Khol’s and Peltz shoes. You’ll notice there is no smell of chemicals. There’s a waiting area with refreshments or better yet, you can go down to Earths Fruit Yogurt a few doors down. The bottles of polish are all orderly and easy to view. The massage chairs are comfortable. The staff all wear gloves and they use plastic liners in the tub for each use. I just hope they recycle all that plastic.
My nails are always done perfectly when I walk out of there. I’m in a dream state from the spa pedi and float out.
