I am extremely disappointed with my experience at J & J Bar Nail Salon. The customer service was absolutely terrible, especially from the owner. I honestly don't know how anyone can be so rude to paying customers. When I asked if a small change could be made to my service, I was met with yelling and a very unprofessional attitude. Instead of trying to help or find a solution, they became angry and argumentative. To make matters worse, I was cursed at during the interaction, which was completely unacceptable and shocking. No customer should be treated with disrespect for simply asking for something different. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and upset. I expected professionalism and basic courtesy, but unfortunately received the opposite. I will not be returning and would not recommend this salon to others based on how I was treated. Very disappointing experience. read more

I had gone in for an acrylic set and my nails had turned out lumpy lopsided, and not the shape I wanted. The first red flag should've been from when the tech told me she "wasn't good at designs" when all I asked for was a nude base with a blue flower shape. After I had noticed the poor shaping of my nails, bad design, and gems that she took creative liberty on after I said I didn't like them, they tried to charge me extra for the gems that I did not want, I asked for a refund and the owner told me, very condescendingly no. She said that this is what I asked for (it was not) and the nails were fine (they were not) the staff/owner are just not good people, they know nothing about customer service. The first photo is the design I wanted, and the second photo is what I walked out with, never in my life have I left a salon in tears until now read more

Charged $90 for a basic manicure and pedicure. Pedicure was $50 so they charged my regular polish manicure as a gel manicure.

I had an amazing experience at J&J Nail Bar! Sunny did my ombré nail set, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. She was so detailed, patient, and made sure the blend was absolutely flawless. The shape, the colors--everything was perfect. The salon is clean, welcoming, and has such a relaxing atmosphere. If you're looking for high-quality nails and top-notch service, I highly recommend asking for Sunny at J&J Nail Bar. Personally I don't know how they have so many 1 star reviews. I'll definitely be back! read more

I never leave bad reviews, I usually let things go. When I say I'm absolutely disgusted with this business/ staff. The owner especially. Terrible nails, quality and service. They'll do a bad job and don't bother simply ask for a refund they'll do nothing but harass you and be nasty. Not friendly or good environment in the slightest . Save your money and sanity and do not go to J&J nail bar. Absolutely horrid customer service! read more

I specifically downloaded yelp so I could leave this review. With the amount of times I have gone there over the years, I have yet to leave this salon without bleeding. The guy who works there is so aggressive on my nails and I left the salon today with my toe wrapped in a cotton ball and bandaid because of how much I was bleeding. They didn't even offer to charge me less because of it. Not coming back again this time. read more

terrible service. he pried my acrylic tips off manually basically picked them off. he cracked up one nail in the process and glued it back together !!?? how jimmi got a license is beyond me. he also slopped on 3 coats of polish plus base and top and expected a little fan to dry it in 10 minutes. 4 out of 10 nails got messed up before I got home. worst nail salon ever. read more

HORRIBLE!! Do not go here! I took my daughter here to get her nails painted for the holiday and this place is all about themselves. I requested a refund and the owner was absolutely disgusting and told me no refunds. Don't waste your money. Drive the extra 10 min to a different salon to get better job and better service read more

I had initially given this salon a very high rating on Google but I'm back because of the experience I had today. I called ahead and asked if they had time for a gel pedicure, they said yes come on in. Walked in, wasn't greeted, and then asked if I had an appointment. I said no but I did call and ask if they could do it. I then just stood there, while everyone stared, waiting for instructions. The woman doing my pedicure was rude. They didn't even offer a menu like they did before. And each service I asked for she kept asking if I could pay, what would make you assume I couldn't? They didn't have the color I initially chose, fine. I asked the tech to cut my nails down and she acted like it was going to be the biggest inconvenience of her life. I got a gel pedicure here a few weeks ago and it was $35. Today it was $50. She said it was an additional charge to for dead skin removal, and I want you to see a picture of my heel because I honestly can't believe I left like this. But after being in there for an hour and a half I couldn't stay any longer. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the shape was nice and the polish was neat. I was so excited because I thought I'd finally found a quality nail salon so close to me. I was wrong and I will not be back. read more

J & J Nail Bar - My heel after a $15 up charge for dead skin/callous removal - Nail Salons Near Me - Rising Sun, Maryland

Got a fill with gel color on a Friday within 1 week gel polish bubbling and acrylic chipping. Called to get it fixed following Sunday (I can go 3-4 weeks between fills). Jimmy proceeded to do a full fill and gel color and told me I was good to go - I replied that I would like to pay for the fill because it was more than I expected to get done...so he charges me $49 for a $28 fill. Basically paid full price for the poor job that was done in the first place. read more

Totally rude service! Especially Sunny, the owners wife. I used to go to J&J's nail salon and now I go to Northeast Maryland, to Ricky's salon because they are much nicer. Sunny made like it was a burden to do my toenails. No professionalism or customer service skills. Don't bother going there. read more

Just simply Rude across the board. They made me feel like an intrusion. Not friendly and didn't smile once the whole time. Way overpriced.

Great service my nails look amazing they took there time and talked to me in a very friendly way Ps the owner did them read more

Came here as a group to get out nails done for a wedding. During one pedicure, a bridesmaid's toe was cut very deeply. She was bleeding for an hour, and we had to go buy extra first aid. Now she may not be able to wear her heels for the wedding tomorrow. 50% off her pedicure. Should have been comped. Edit to update: my $38 GEL manicure lasted two days! Don't waste your time. read more

Very unsatisfied they charge me $130 for pedicure which I paid $55 for the special pedicure and a fill and two replace two nails. The pedicure took extremely long 1 hour and 10 mins the girl was new didn't know what she was doing she didn't know how to use the " cheese grater " to remove the calluses off my feet. I told her to do it a little harder she didn't, still calluses on the bottom of my feet. Then here comes a boy to do the paint of my nails and then the owners wife to do the fill, so of course it's over $130 including the tip for each person. I told her the last time I got a full set and special pedicure it cost me $120. I get the basic white tips for my full set French nails and white gel on my toes. Owners wife insisted that she forgot to charge me 20 extra for my gel last time. She had to take it from her pocket ?? So you EXTRA CHARGE ME. When you did my full set and pedicure last time. That's doesn't even make any sense !!! Oh and I paid $50 cash and the rest card and she pockets the $50 Cash along with her tip. Very outrageous and WRONG ON HER PART. I've been going here for a while and my family comes here. Very Disappointing of how people can really be, if you had a bad day don't take it out on your customers And CHARGE EXTRA. read more

Zero stars. I had a gel manicure a week ago here (Tuesday). Worst experience, nail tech did not seem to know what they were doing and kept going to the back. I have gotten gel manicures for years at lots of places and fully understand the tech stepping away for another customer for a sec, but not to go to the back randomly. The gel started to chip the next day.(Ridiculous!) On day 3 I went back in to get 3 chipped nails fixed. (Friday) It has now been a week and I have 4 chipped nails including one of the ones that was fixed. I do not know what they are doing differently but I have never had a gel manicure chip this bad. I do not recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Usually my go to nail salon (I don't get my nails done often) but not after today. I was in and out in 20 mins for a gel mani and eyebrow wax. The entire appointment was rushed. I came in with a little bit of regular nail polish on my finger nails, it was shaved off with the tool rather than using a cotton ball and nail polish remover. Normally with a manicure you soak your hands at some point...Nope. My cuticles were cut DRY. No cuticle oil applied before or after. I asked for a Gel French Mani which is not the same as white tips on top of clear polish but that's what I got. My design was also put in the wrong spot on my nails. I pay $62 plus tip then I'm rushed out the door. I get to the car to see my nails are scratchy, like they weren't properly filed and I have nail polish all over the sides of my fingers. I still have wax remnants on my eyebrows. Im so disappointed and let down because like I mentioned, I don't get my nails done often so when I do, I want to feel beautiful and this wasn't it. read more

Owner/Manager stands out front and smokes cigarettes with front door wide open allowing nasty cigarette smoke to billow into the salon. So tasteless and tacky. Get tired of them talking in their native language while providing service to others - so rude and disrespectful. The entire place is so unprofessional and half-ass. Not the JJ's of years gone by. Don't waste your money or time. read more

The best part is that they offer a free beverage. Well not free since my manicure sucked and lasted less than an hour after I left. During my pedicure the person was very rough and more interested in everything else but me. Won't be going back. My son warned me but I was trying to save time while using the laundromat. Never again. read more

I visit my daughter in Maryland every year and found the best Nail Salon‼ I have ingrown nails on my big toes and "Sunny" the owner does an outstanding job when I get my pedicure ‼ I wish I could find someone back in Arizona that is as good as she is‼ I feel she is the BEST and highly recommend her Salon. People like her are few and far between with her expertise read more

They do good work for the most part. The problem occurs when they get very busy and start shuffling people around. The guy doing my nails wanted to get to one of his regulars and shoved me off for a lady to paint my nails. He hadn't even completed my nails correctly. Frustrating and it made me feel less valuable as a customer. read more

I was warned not to come here because multiple people get infections but I came anyway. They were so rude and rough with my nails. The guy was so angry with me for asking for pink and white nails. He was literally so rude to me the entire time he did my nails. I almost got up and left several times. I will never go back here ever. My nails hurt so bad today. They are apparently extremely rough when they don't want to what you ask for. read more

I've tried giving this place several chances because it's local but it's terrible every time and today was absolutely the last time I go back. my friend and I made an appointment for 2 and as we're coming in they take her and a walk in and say it'll be just a minute for me. I waited an hour and her nails were done so we just left. they didn't even bother to offer an explanation for what took so long read more

Always a great experience here, they treat you like friends from the moment you walk in and you leave feeling like family. The place is very clean, bright and cheery. Numerous services to select from and you are offered a beverage while you have your service completed. Always professional with a sprinkle of humor with the technicians. I really love the shoulder massage after having my nails done and the pedicures are wonderful. I love that it's do local too! read more

My sister raved about this place and said they were so nice to her so I decided to go and get my nails done here for prom. Worst experience ever! I walked in and waited to be greeted for 15 minutes. Then they asked what I wanted and I told them a full set, she rolled her eyes and walked away. So I picked out a color and sat back down for another 10 minutes. The older women shouted at me to come to her chair so I went over there. She was so rough with my nails, she even left me bleeding in multiple spots. Was very rude, and the customer service was nonexistent. I will never go back. read more

Worst nail salon I've ever been to and super overpriced. I went here only because my sister was having my niece's birthday party here. While we were there I decided to get a pedicure and gel manicure. First of all they took forever. The pedicure was fine. Then when I got my nails done the lady cut my fingertip with the nail cutters instead of my nail. I should have just said forget it at that point but continued getting my manicure. Well it took seriously like 2 hours so by the time I was done I juts wanted to get out of there so I paid and left. It cost $78 for a pedicure and gel mani which is absurd. Then when I got to my car I looked at my nails and they looked horrible. There were little bubbles under the top coat and you could see where she didn't even get the clear polish all the way around my nail. I should have went back and demanded my money back but I was so annoyed at that point after spending 3 hours there I didn't even want to deal with them anymore. And to top it off they all starting chipping and peeling within like 3 days. Huge waste of time and money. read more

The people here were very nice and pleasing to be around but besides that I had to wait for about 15 min until they were ready for me and they were very rough with my nails and I was in pain afterwards. When they did my pedicure they were so rough I wanted to get up and walk away and they did not even give me what I wanted on my nails. Polite people but need to work on service. read more

I have been coming here for at least 2 years. They are so friendly and professional. I find it to be the best nail salon around. I have tried 3 other nail salons and there is no place that compares to J & J. If you want your nails to look fantastic go to J & J Nail Bar!! read more

Great service and staff is friendly , I enjoy coming here and they remember what I am there for and set me up with the technician that I prefer no appointment needed read more

Came here on Christmas Eve and was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and thoughtful they were. Pedicure and a beer? Yes please! Manicure and chocolates? Also a win. read more

3rd time I've been there and I'm never going back. First time, my nails were great. So I went back. Second time, The technician was so rough with my nails that I was cringing and saying "ow" so then I could not apply pressure to my nails for a few days. A few months go by and I figure at a different time of day, there could be other nail technicians who could do an adequate job. This place is the closest to where I live and convenient while I'm running my errands while my children are at school. I'm never coming back here. My nails look like somebody watched a tutorial on YouTube. This will be the second time I've had to pay more money to go to another nail place to fix what this place screwed up. And they take entirely too long to do a shitty job. Plus, whoever waxes eyebrows sucks too. read more

Not a good experience. I have been getting my nails done for over 26 years and I must say this is the worst place I've ever been to. Everything is dirty. My nails were thick as jellybeans. Not filed even either. They painted not only my nails but also my cuticles and skin around my fingers. They attempted to clean it up but it still looked crappy. I was not happy with it at all. After politely complaining, They removed my paint, refiled them, and painted them a second time. Even after the second job, my nails just look crappy. On a brighter note, I must say everyone in here is very nice. read more

I Love J&J The owner is very friendly and accommodating I drive all the way from Perryville to get my nails done here when I have many choices just 5 minutes up the road. Some of the good is that my nails always last here I can go a month with gel nail polish and nothing chips. The nails stay on here and they hand paint designs and I look forward to going back and chatting it up with the nail techs.So many people I know also go here biweekly and I would recommend this place to anyone!! I have been going here over 6 months with NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER !! LOVE IT THERE!! read more

Went with my 7 year old niece to get our nails painted. I asked just for a quick polish change for both. What they didn't tell me was my niece picked out a gel polish. They charged us $47 for what should have been a quick polish change and now I have to take her back to get the gel removed. The last thing I want anyone to do is soak her baby nails in acetone. I'm so beyond pissed and will NEVER go back. read more
