Just got a pedicure after too many months. The shop was busy this Saturday morning, but at 1pm, they got me right in. I've been coming here for a few years and am always happy with my pedicures. They are relaxing! They do a leg massage and a wax treatment and hot towels. It's just lovely. Today, I tried the Rose Gold CBD pedicure. Icy the nail tech did a wonderful job with my toes. She was so detailed and careful. Highly recommend! They also do no chip pedicures for those who want them. Their no chip manicures have always held up well for me. read more

J & W Nails - Blue toes for the summer - Waxing Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

They are under new management! I've been going here for almost a decade now. I faithfully go every two weeks for a no-chip mani and regular pedicure. Wendy was not there when I went last, and Cyndi seems to be completely gone. They also have new products and prices, my last mani/pedi was so expensive for it to lift and begin to chip by week 2. My nails never chipped by the two week mark. I'm so disappointed. I don't know where to go. I trusted this location and Cyndi & Wendy to take great care of me and any one I brought in. I'm on the hunt for a new nail shop. read more

Had my acrylic nails done and refilled there. Last refill on Sunday. By Tuesday one literally fell off, and today another one did. When I went in on Tuesday they tried to blame me for the nail falling off and they took and hour to fix it. Never again. read more

J & W Nails - Waxing Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Honestly I've had my nails done WAY better for cheaper. I asked for the gel full set with no chip, and I asked him to make it as thin as possible. Not only are they thick, they're not all the same shape, but I asked him multiple times to fix things!! And he was upset each time that I asked. So I gave up, paid, and I'm just really upset that I did. These nails are so ugly, but I didn't want to spend more time in there than I did. Now I'm going home to fix it myself, save yourself $$ and try somewhere else read more

I've been going to this nail shop for over two years but after today I would not recommend. I was told that they are under new management and it shows. The lady who did my dip-manicure seemed lost even when taking payment from individuals. She wasn't sure of what product to use and less than 12 hours later my nail has broken and the polish chipped on several nails. I am so disappointed and will not even return for them to fix it. I'd rather go to a shop closer to my house. read more

So I came to get my nails and feet done, this is my second time coming here the first time was 3 years ago any way.. This lady was rushing to do my nails and my nails are terrible, I asked for some one else and they told me come back tomorrow. If she didn't know how to do nails she should have never did them.. I asked for long and cuffing and she said it would be extra $5.00 for long. I said okay I don't care, I asked for what I want Please see the pics I get my mails done on a regular but this experience was very bad for me. I will not be returning here again. This shit is terrible!!! They are all out of shape and this is not what I asked for. read more

I went here to get a no chip manicure and pedicure. I also got my eyelashes done for the first time here. I woke up the next day after getting my nails done and I had suffered a really bad allergic reaction and even went to the hospital because my eyes had swallon so bad they were almost closed shut. I went back to the salon to tell them what happened and all Wendy the lady who did my lashes could say was well we use very expensive glue it's about $50 a bottle. My eyes are worth more than your $50. She completely dismissed the situation as if it was nothing. She kept helping other customers and telling me she's going to contact the owner. I'm writing this review as I wait. I've never had a problem all the times I ever come her but today I felt insulted, dismissed and overall taking as a joke. I would not recommend this place. Customer service is lacking. Very unprofessional. I looked a mess read more

I've gone there several years, I like the punch card deal and prices are good. However...the last time I went will be my last visit there. A young girl, who I never saw before, did my no chip mani/pedi including a soak off of a previous nochip done there. She was SO ROUGH. The pedicure was not enjoyable at all, she was amazingly clueless as to how it would feel to be manhandled like that. But worse...hours after mani/pedi my fingernails began to break. So low that they were bleeding. Within 24 hours EVERY SINGLE NAIL WAS BROKEN. Down below the tip of each finger. Painful. This has never happened to me before, I have very strong nails (normally) and they were nice and long. Such a bummer. My hands look awful, like they NEED A MANICURE. Ironic. Tried to send them an email...they have no email address. I really don't want to have to call to complain, I'd rather send an email...but since that's not an option I'm hoping they see this post and give that young girl some mani/pedi training. Maybe rough her up like she does the customers so she has a sense of how awful it feels. read more

J & W Nails - Gel Full Set - Waxing Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I have been coming to J&W Nails for about 3 years now on a fairly regular basis. I am always in a chair pretty quickly even on busy days. They are always fast and do an excellent job. The staff is pleasant and easy to work. They leave me alone to read in the massage chair which is the most relaxing part of my week. J&W has a large variety of services and they always have the latest OPI colors which I love. I usually get my eyebrows waxed as well. I appreciate that their wax is not boiling hot which is usually the case. I've in the past tried the no chip which I'm not a big fan of in general - but they seemed to do a good job it's a popular service. My usual is the basic manicure and pedicure which generally lasts a week on the manicure and two weeks on the pedicure. The salon is large with lots of reading material and always very clean and well kept. There are usually a lot of staff members in place as well. read more

I did not and I would hate not to warn someone about this technicianask to test wax on hand first or you might get injured too read more

I was a customer a very long time of the prior owner. The shop changed hands. I have to say let me give them a chance. My last visit was my last. Polish has bubbles in even finger crocked. It's been less then a week and I look like I need a fill it. The owner is nice and so are the ladies who work there but I am not satisfied and will now go else where. read more

First of all they are very unprofessional I went to get a manicure n pedicure n as I was waiting for someone to come start my pedicure the woman walks with all her stuff puts it down looks at me n says something in Chinese to a coworker looks at me n walks off n nobody said anything didn't come n let me know anything bad experience wouldn't recommend read more

I love this place! I have always had a pleasant experience, they always fit us in, the service is perfect (I am really sensitive to all the things, and have never had a single issue), people are kind, prices are very reasonable and they follow all the cleanliness protocols. My no chip pedicures last forever! I've brought many family and friends here and we've all had wonderful experiences. This is a gem, go there! read more

I'm giving the two stars for the friendliness of the employees at this salon and the prices ($30 for manicure and pedicure). They're not rude and usually, you don't have to wait too long, even if there's a line to be taken care of. As far as quality of services - less than mediocre. I've given this place many chances because it's so close to me and cheaper than other nail salons in the area, but you get what you pay for. The store itself is decently kept. There's nothing that would throw you off, but you can tell the nail polish selections are older bottles (which can effect the outcome of the polish on your nail). My recent visit, I almost tripped on a water bottle that was left on the floor. I once had a pedicure that left me with unevenly cut toe nails and a very thick, lumpy manicure. Not to mention, the cleaning part of the manicure was painful to my cuticles and left me with cuts. Before leaving, I waited 20+ minutes for the manicure to dry and even the SLIGHTEST touch to my shoe lace while tying my shoes caused an indent to the polish which eventually became wrinkled. Lesson of the day: it's worth the longer commute and dishing a few more dollars for better nails. read more

I went in to have my acrylics removed and replaced with a no-chip manicure. I said I wanted to soak off my acrylics and the technician insisted on prying them off. After he removed about 3 of the nails I pulled my hands away and did not let him remove any others that manner. He was pretty aggressive with my nails the rest of the appointment as well. I've been here for pedicures before but question their sanitation practices as well. I will not be returning. read more

Other than the language barrier, I have no serious complaints about service at this place. I've had a number of different services here, including a leg wax. I'd pass on the waxing if I were you. They have a single tiny and shabby room with little privacy (my tech kept exiting the room during my session and leaving the door open). I've had multiple manicures and a pedicure. These have been outstanding. A no-chip manicure that actually lasts is worth coming back for. I don't know why I'm always surprised that I can't put a tip on a credit card when restaurants do it all the time. A $10 tip would cost them at most $0.30 in fees. Where's the logic in this? If management is reading this, I would tip generously if I didn't have to do it in cash. Who carries cash? read more

I went to this place by a friends recommendation to get a full set. The man did a horrible job of filing my nails and making both the tips and tops even. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I have broken 3 nails in 11 days... when I broke the first one I thought it was just me but now that I'm down 3, I don't want to spend my time with all these repairs. read more

3rd and last time. I went here on today had nails removed and told nail rep. I wanted to wear my natural nails, she put overlay on anyway, also I picked a color for my nails, she kept mentioning color is regular. I didn't catch it until it was time to pay. She knew exactly what she was doing. Especially playing as she didn't understand. To charge more. Last time. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. I was very disappointed on how my ombré came out all bubbly and clumpy and it was my first time getting the ombré effect. They were so soft and bendable and I was barely putting pressure to press a button. It looked over all sloppy and I was just really upset on how they treated me when I went back to get it fixed 2 hours later. When I asked her if she could fix she gave me a nasty look at was obviously talking about me Bc all her coworkers were just staring at me rudely. I will not be back. And after waiting for an hour and obviously being an inconvenience in having them fixed I asked for my money back and I got a hard time for that as welll. Just disappointed in the whole process overall. read more

This was my first time going there I usually rely on on other people's comments and they were all good. I guess the guy who did my nails was having a bad day, he was rough when he used the electric tool I told him it was getting hot but he just kept going. Then he started filing my nails on the sides and again rough with too much pressure and low and behold my finger started bleeding! To say the least I was not happy in all the years I've been getting my nails done no one has ever broke skin. This was done on 4/25/19 and my finger is still hurting as of today 4/27/19. Hopefully I don't get one of those infections because these technicians don't use new tools on their customers files need to be changed also!! read more

Came as a walk in and they took me immediately. The pricing was good, and the service was even better. The tech I had was very willing to help me and alert me that the color I picked would be sheer. But the color is exactly what I was looking for and they were able to get me in and out without cutting corners. Very happy with the experience I had and will definitely be returning. Thank you! read more

This was our go to for a classic no-chip manicure and regular pedi every two weeks. Consistent work and a great selection of colors. Walk-ins welcome but they do take appointments. Very competitive prices compared to other shops in the area and low compared to other Western Suburbs. read more

Great prices! Sometimes the acrylics cause lifting but the nail tech is nice, helpful and does a great job at painting the nails. The place is a bit dirty and the decoration is a little tacky. read more

This was by far the WORST nail salon experience I have ever had. Ever customer was in there complaining. They even made one young lady cry. The service my friend and I were receiving were dip nails and the pedicure. If you need a pedicure, yes they will do. It was very quick and surely not an experience (15 mins or less) but the toes came out nice. Let's get to the hands. I have claws. I have monster claws. My nails are lumpy, raised, uneven and a mess. It was to the point where I had to direct the nail tech on what tools to use in an attempt to salvage the mess that was on my fingers. My friend who received dipped as well had her nails dipped 6 times and filed 10 times. For reasons even the nail tech can't explain. They were too prideful to just admit that they didn't know what they were doing. I truly believe they just ordered dip powder to keep up with the wave and received no training. Oh let's not forget as my frustration rises with the situation the laughed. My tech was laughing at what she put on my hands. My friend's tech was laughing at the work she did. IT WAS HORRIBLE AND I WILL NEVER GO BACK. read more

This is the only salon I feel comfortable going to in the pandemic because they have plastic shower liners separating customers from staff and each other in the pedicure chairs and a solid plastic barrier between manicurist and customers, and they take masks very seriously. I appreciate the extra measures and as a result it's where I feel safe to get my nails done read more

The male nail tech is extremely rude and rushes the whole process. He doesn't care if your nails look good, he just wants to finish as soon as possible. I go here because it's so close to my home but I won't be giving my money to this business ever again. I've never been so dissatisfied with a nail salon. My nails are uneven and shaped awkwardly. The whole set is terrible and I'm getting them taken off after only a month or so of having them. I'm giving this review 2 stars because the women who work here are nice and the pedicures are decent. But I won't be going back because of the male nail tech. read more

I have been going here for two years and finally getting around to writing a review. This used to be Angel's Nails, when it changed owners it became J & W Nails. The new owner is so nice! My favorite nail techs are Mae and Cindy. Mae and the owner speak good English. It's mostly walk in so can get busy. I call ahead to make sure I can get in. You can't beat their prices, $45 for pedicure and no chip manicure. They just started doing SNS nails, which is $10 extra, but I love them! read more
