Toenail infection, ignored and taken advantage of. Less than ok work, looks like I did it myself not in the good way read more

Got my chin/neck waxed and the result was awful and was only half finished. The waxing area was just a tiny closet with extremely unsanitary equipment that did not look like anything was cleaned between uses. The employee was using cut up rags from random discarded tshirts as wax strips and did not clean, exfoliate, or otherwise prep my skin beforehand whatsoever. This all resulted in my skin bleeding with several hairs still left over all over my face as well as multiple sections being completely untouched and still hairy. Horrible quality and a complete waste of money. Do not come here unless you want to get a skin infection. read more

A J Nails - Broken nails only three days after new set - Nail Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

A J Nails - Butterfly nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Not a good experience. My regular nail tech is on vacation for a few weeks so I came here to get a quick mani/pedi to hold me over. Bad choice and I should've read the other reviews. $20 for a manicure and I could've done better myself. Pedicure was okay but barely a massage or foot scrub. Also, no place to dry your nails so you're leaving still wet. read more

This place has just gone downhill and isn't worth it. Back to back crap pedicures and I have to just realize this place is trash and no longer worth patronizing. First of all they are not disinfecting things properly so the place is a cesspool of germs! I received the nail colors from the nail tech after she grabbed them directly from the hands of person next to me. No sanitizing nada. Second these people always seem to be in a rush which shows in their poor quality of work. The last two times I got a pedicure here the paint was HORRIBLE and the calming feeling of self care was overshadowed with me having to repeatedly explain to the staff aht aht I'm not paying for trash work. Please redo this toe that toe, etc only to be met with THEM being annoyed. IKYFL . Long story long don't waste your time or money to patronize this place! The quality of work, the price, the staff attitude when you politely ask them to redo their god awful work, the lack of proper sanitation....do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a proper and decent place that won't leave you disappointed. Oh and they try and play you and make you use the ATM their machine works. read more

Alright let me get this out of the way - I think the reason this place has multiple bad reviews is mainly due to the regulars not being the biggest yelpers out there to even out the score. The real ones know what's up. Finding the right nail tech for you is like finding a boyfriend. Maybe harder in my opinion. You gotta find someone who does quality work that lasts, fits in your budget and fits what you need - do you like talking? Do you not? etc. That's where Becky comes in. Becky hooks it up. She's quiet and calm, and pays a lot attention to detail, doesn't rush me. I've been going to her for a while. Main reason is because she actually cares about my nails. I had acrylics for a long time - she noticed a weird spot on my nails and suggested I hold off on them, giving me gels instead. I came in again for dip powder, two of the corners on my natural nail were chipped, she fixed them for me with tips. This woman is top tier. I haven't tried anyone else here but I have no intentions of doing so. So as far as the negative reviews - they happen. But don't let that sway you when the shorties in south sac really know that this place gets fairly busy and don't care about yelp reviews. read more

My mom went in for a pedi, lady did a horrible job. She took no more than 12min total didn't remove any of her cuticles, no massage and it wasn't a busy day at all place was empty painted her skin and said she didn't think they looked bad. 30$ pedi will no be coming back read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I walked in randomly because I was getting threaded next door. Poor customer service, overpriced for the quality of work, no dryers for toe polish so you leave with wet polish. The guy who did my pedicure didn't seem knowledgeable. I was so unhappy with my experience here and I will never go back. read more

I received great service at this nail shop. The place is clean and they are very sanitary. My nail tech had great communication and even talked to me vs just talking to the other employees. By far the best nail shop I have ever went to. read more

I can personally say I really like this place but I can also understand why it has low reviews. It all depends on the artist and how good your communication is with the artist. I've gone in and gotten my acrylics from different people and have specific people I would like to do my nails. I don't think it would be a problem for you to go in and see what they are working on and how their doing for you to judge them on your likes. I can definitely say I'll always be returning to this place. I personally love them and like it when the artist does what they want. Very beautiful work (make sure you include your budget if you're doing this.) any who yeah they rock. I don't feel like they get enough recognition due to bad reviews. Make sure you go ahead and make an appointment before Time if you don't want to wait, they are a busy place. It may not look busy if they say they are busy but you don't know how long or what treatments the clients have paid for as well. Hopefully you have the time and money to go ahead and pick your artist wisely :) btw the chairs massage you so good as your getting a pedi. Be aware that they will not perform miracles on your toes if they are messed up or not long enough. They are only painting and tending your toes with what is there to work with and the service you paid for. On the other hand they can remove your calluses, it's part of the VIP pedi! c: read more

Highly upset that I had to pay 45 for a gel pedicure that looks like this. Didn't notice until I got to my destination out of town that my big toe was so fucked up. It was bubbled up and the. Eventually formed to my toe to look like this. There is parts of my toes that have no polish. Or parts that have it all over my toes. My nails are just as fucked up not even in length or thickness. Polish on my fingers as well. read more

$40 Special for full set, pedi, brow & upper lip wax!!! This deal is crazy considering the fact that a full set alone will run you $30. the only downfall to this place is that the customer service is lacking. Very little English was spoke, and the workers don't really interact with you whatsoever. But 4 stars for the services &pricing! ..and no, I'm not related to them hahaha read more

Well let me start off with I waited for a moment than took a long time and when I finally did, the man that did my nails cut my finger and said oh sorry it's a new nail filing and I even showed him I was bleeding, well he super glued my cut together not once but twice and proceed and he didn't do a good job and getting my toes done was a mistake as well! I well I will not returning and definitely not recommend it to any one else also I will let everyone know the worst time I had spent on $120 to get cut and argue while getting my toes done wow good job guys need the training read more

This place gets a ZERO star from me. I had to click one star to post this review. The guy cut my toe, stating he didn't see under my nail! He thought he could put some ointment on it and keep going. No sir, I told him I am out! I had to ask him for a Band-Aid; he looked confused. DO NOT waste your time or money. My toe is throbbing right now. I may have to contact the Board of Health!!! read more

Great nail saloon, very nice people and they were also able to follow the COVID guidelines.

Randomly walked in today and immediately should have know it would be disappointed by the way the speak to people when they walk in the door . Hurry up and wait , wait , and wait . If it wasn't for my friend desperately needing her nails done I would have left , but nope I suffered too . Rush job on my pedicure, messy paint job my 8 year old could have done better . So frustrating we think everybody works hard for our money , but this place shows NOT Everyone... read more

A J Nails - Horrible chairs not comfortable . As you can see from the pic they been wore out . Shouldn't be considered massage chair . Disappointed - Nail Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Two stars because they're nice and I'm very indecisive with colors, design, etc. But don't let this full set fool you! The paint is uneven, they look like they've grown out for half a week already with my natural nail showing, they left rigid edges, they're thick and a nail ALREADY broke. I only got this color changing set done yesterday! I went with two other women and they both weren't a fan of their uneven nails and uneven color either and their nails "fanned out towards the tips." That is NOT what they asked for and NEITHER IS THAT A CUTE LOOK SO DON'T DO IT lol. The man doing my sister's set nicked her fingers a couple of times so she had little cuts. During our visit, that man also had an attitude towards another customer and it just looked unprofessional. ‍ read more

And she layed the polish to thick. I will never be back. I guess this is just karma for cheating on my regular nail lady! read more

Trying to find a great nail technician is like trying to find your soul mate. You have to kiss a bunch of frogs before you find your Prince, or nail artist as the case may be. I have Lani take care of my fiberglass nails. But be warned, she is in high demand so make an appointment. Lee does a great pedi. If you can afford it, get the VIP pedi, totally worth it. Make sure you remember to tip, the service they provide isn't a hobby. read more

No stars horrible customer service never going again there is one lady her name is Becky she is awesome but the rest always On a rush I've went to get my nails numerous times because how close it is to my house but is not worth it I have went back twice the next day to get them fix and a older Asian male is so impatient not only I can't understand what he is saying he doesn't give you what you want I did my nails today paid forty and the gel is not shiny now I'm going tomorrow to another shop to get them repainted because I ll never go back there... Don't go don't spend your money on them not worth it ... read more

Not going back....ever again. I'm not sure how I went in for a full and ended up paying $25 for it? I didn't get anything special simple acrylic nails? And even when I asked for them to be cut down the said it was a $2 charge? Who charges anything to cut down nails? When doing your nails all they do it suggest other things for you to pay for & the lady that greets you when you first walk in is rude as hell, I get you work in the ghetto but it's not my fault this is the best you could do! My nails always came out slanted! So ugly! read more

Worst pedicure and full set I've ever gotten, clearly did a crap job on my toes, and she says my real nails aren't right that's why some of my nails are longer or shorter or chunkier. Just stupid.

I would definitely go back again. read more

If I could give them no stars I would I went in and saw Linda thought everything was going well. No one else was there just all the other techs sitting watching tv. I ask for a full set and She starts doing my nails. I notice the acrylic has sparkles and didn't say anything she gets done and my thumb was all lumpy and the rest were uneven. I ask how much an she says $25 I ask why and she says she have me a full set of gel nails. I told her acrylic in the first place and the container she pulled out said ACRYLIC not gel. I asked her to fix my thumb and she just files real quick and says done. She did what she wanted I've never had someone give me sparkling acrylic nails when I asked for a plain full set!!

I have been coming here off an on for years. Prices have been ok. Today went for a pedi and a full set. Normal price is about $60-80. Today i was way over charged. He said they are raising prices because everyone wants thier service. I think it is sad to overcharge and be greedy just because of the situation. I wont be going here anymore. Found another shop who isnt as greedy. read more

I always confuse this shop to the other Aj nails Th is was an ok..place They got tons of design so many that I could not choose. Which was a plus, but my thing is getting my nails shaped right. I got a full set from this woman who rushed through my nails. some of my tip;s had a natural curved and others just curve. I told her and she blamed it on my nail bed. She left them bulky and uneven gave me attitude when I told her to file more. She threw on the cuticle oil ans say wash your hands. I told her to drill more she drills for 5 seconds and throws more oil on. I asked her again..same thing.. Than tried to rush me when I was looking for a design.. all on my back watching me. I told her it would take some time. She got angry when I told her I wanted airbrush. Said she doesnt do airbrush and that it $5 more, I payed. Then she expected a tip.I did not get her name but she wears glasses. On the other hand the Managers Wife. Was very professional,polite and attentive to my nails. So I will be going back and seeing her.Plus my design was beautiful. read more
