Terrible service, went and got mani/ pedi paid $60, & very unhappy the price was outrageous for the service . First off did mani while doing pedi. There are streaks, and a spot that didn't get painted, underneath is dirty , I don't believe they cleaned under. It was rushed . Made apt for 630. It was clear they were closing , but don't schedule an apt that late, rush Through in under 40 mins, e wok was terrible . I'd like a refund, I will never go back. The pedi was extremely painful , believe it was the owner . Is like a refund snd will never return read more

If I could give this place 20 stars I would. I've been getting mani pedi treatments for 10 years now. This was by far the best experience I have had. Zeme was so great at her job and really took her time. There was no pain involved which as a guy when they work on your toes it can occasionally be painful. She was awesome. I highly recommend her and this business. Tim, owner The Salt Escape. read more

J Nails & Beauty - No chip mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Went in to try and get my nails cleaned, a typical no chip removal. Was met with resistance over a very basic request and then told they were too busy to do so when they had people sitting around. Will not return and they lost a first time customer! read more

I just moved into the area and have been searching for a new nail salon and I think I found it! I didnt make an appointment, but J Nails was very accommodating. In the future I will make an appointment as they get exceptionally busy. I had a french pedicure done and it was fantastic! Great foot and leg massage and my toes have never looked so pretty. Definitely will become a regular here read more

Live in the neighborhood. Tried a few nail salons. JNails is my favorite. Longest lasting polish compared to other nearby salons. Clean and relaxing atmosphere. read more

This place is good for a pedi. For the same price as others in the area, they also do a nice leg massage, paraffin bag for the heals and a hot towel. She also did a 5 minute back rub while toes where drying. Good massage chairs. They don't rush through it which is nice. read more

First time customer / technician: May I got a pedicure & a no-chip manicure. 1st impression of salon: Great color selection for no-chip. Clean & organized. Pedicure: Zero stars for callus removal/sloughing of feet. Five stars for cleaning up nails & polish application. Manicure: 5 stars! My nails look great!! I see a couple of imperfections but they are hardly noticeable to anyone but me. I would defiantly go back for a manicure but I will continue the hunt for a good pedicure place. One thing to note, minimum charge to use a credit/debit card is $20 & cash only for tip. read more

The staff is super friendly and I was taken right away for a pedicure. I should mention I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon (3:30pm) so I was accommodated quickly. Either way, the whole experience was wonderful. Clean and spacious salon where you're not fumbling over others and intruding their personal space. My pedicure was very relaxing. It included a foot soak, nail/cuticle cleaning, a salt foot and lower leg scrub, a hot wax heal soak, topped with a very carefully paint and polish of my nails. All at a reasonable price of $29. Highly recommend this place. read more

J Nails & Beauty - Basic pedicure came out perfect! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

I've been coming here on and off for years, and will no longer be returning. The women working here are very cruel. They were speaking about customers in Korean, even calling a woman overweight! They were also complaining that a woman didn't tip (she hadn't left yet, and DID tip before leaving.) They should be more respectful, and also realize they aren't the only ones who understand Korean. read more

This place is beyond. The ladies here are so friendly and welcoming. My nail tech was a serious artist, I've never had a better mani/pedi. She took so much care to make sure they're were perfect. Not to mention-they do a free paraffin wax with pedicures and a shoulder massage after the manicure. Customer service is amazing, experience is blissful, prices are right. read more

J Nails & Beauty - No chip mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Found my new spot! After many failed appointment mixups (across the street @ competitor salon), I decided to walk by J Nails. Stopped in yesterday, nothing avail until late afternoon. Stopped in again today and they squeezed me in! My mani/pedi is perfect. Nail techs are kind, accommodating, meticulous and space is clean. I do recommend making an appointment ahead of time! read more

Very impressed with this place. Very quiet and clean salon with a very friendly owner. I came in on a Monday afternoon as a walk in with no appointment and I was seated in the pedi chair immediately. Pricing is very good for what you get for the pedi...sea salt scrub massage (my fav) and paraffin wax on your heels. Sue did a great job on my pedi and no chip. The hot towel hand treatment and the amazing hand AND neck and shoulder massage were added pluses! I will definitely be back. read more

I went to get a mani and ended up paying 80 dollars at my dermatologist to drain my finger and get out on antibiotics because they infected my finer. They are not sanitary. read more

Very clean and professional! I never really enjoyed pedicure, I would always be stressed of hygiene but this place did not leave any doubts. My pedicure and massage were very relaxing today! Definitely coming back. read more

Really great job. Got a pedicure. It's BYOB, so that's fun. They have a few included services that some places I've been charge extra for, particularly the paraffin(?) treatment on your heels, light foot/calf massage and heated towel treatment. They have the usual massage chairs. Great place for men's pedicure too. It's not easy doing people's nails day in, day out. They have a solid operation and I'll be back. read more

I went today for a pedicure. The shop is spotless and the staff is friendly. My pedicure looked great. I love that they're open on Sunday. I'll definitely be back! read more

Because it seems to be one of the better reviewed ones in the area, I have been there several times, but there are definitely a few things I am not a fan of here, as it's a mixed bag and a more accurate review of this establishment is needed here. So I broke it down for ya: 1st impression: This is a clean place- hardly any wait time!! Awesome!! Staffing: All of the women who have worked on me have been delightful to work with. However, one tech might start your manicure, then they pass you off on someone else.. Also, the same tech might not be doing your mani & pedi.. I feel like the attention to me as a client is lacking because you found some other client to work on?? Or were you a manager who could deign yourself to file nails, but not complete a manicure? I also felt like my manicure was done a bit out of order, and as a result, my already weak and thin nails were a bit overbuffed/thinned out, which I was not pleased about. Having the nail techs rotate out like an assembly line also poses a problem for tipping.. Which ones do I tip?? I came for a relaxing experience, not a round robin game. Regular Manicure: My nails look great- on Day 1!! I see a couple of imperfections but I barely have time to feel disappointed before the chipping begins. However, they do have GREAT color selections! NoChip Manicure: My nails still look great- on Day 3!! I see little pulling back of the color along the edge of my nail, but whatever. At least the mani I had on Sat looks good on Monday! Pedicure: I know for next time that I should probably ask them to make the water a bit warmer, but they completely filled the tub while I was getting my mani, so I felt bad saying anything. I'm not sure my nail tech knew that callus removal/sloughing of feet was part of a pedicure, as all she did with the pumice was run it back and forth a few times around the bottoms of my feet.. Did not get off any rough skin and actually damaged a few areas that were not callused.. The massage chairs are amazing though!! Misc: The final thing that made me realize this place needs more accurate reviews is that after they were done with my manicure, nail clippers and cuticles removers, etc were rinsed, not washed in the sink and not autoclaved as required by law- despite the autoclaves being right there behind the techs! Those must be for show.. That's too scary for me to return. read more

I used to love this place, but my most recent visits (I go about once a month; occasionally twice depending on events or work commitments) have been a huge disappointment. 1.) Rough treatment of my feet has resulted in nicks and bleeding. 2.) Quick (next day) chipping on manicures. 3.) Day care center atmosphere. Number 3 is the deal breaker for me. I love kids as much as the next gal, but when I go to a "spa" I don't care to hang out with young (ages 3-10) children on a play date. Especially when the moms completely ignore the running around and the staff do nothing to curtail them either. This is not a one time occurrence. This is EVERY time I'm in there the last year. So, if you're a young mom looking for a fun place to chat and hang out with other moms and your kids while you and your kids get your nails done...perfect spot. read more

I went in there after seeing their opening promotion for a discounted no chip manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was nice nothing special, the paraffin wax treatment was a good touch though. The staff is friendly, hard to understand their English but very sweet and did a good job. The no-chip made it a little over a week without chipping. The bone I have to pick with this place is the charged $5 to remove my no-chip I had from a previous salon. No salon I have been to has ever done this. And it's not the five dollars that erked me. It's the fact they tell you at the end. So the promotion they were advertising didn't save you any money at all. I just don't like looking forward to a deal and having it undermined by a hidden fee. I won't be going back because of this. read more

Walked in with a friend for a mani-pedi on a Tuesday to take advantage of the deal and will be coming back. In all transparency, my mani color was neutral, so any chipping wouldn't have been super noticeable. But it lasted a full week without any chipping, and only the edges were getting worn. To me, that's a great manicure. Service was friendly, place was bright and clean (with a new file used on every guest), great selection of colors and there was a rom com playing on the large TV. I'll be back. read more

I like J Nails. It is convenient for a pedicure. I stopped going there for gel nails as they chipped in the first or second week. Altho they've never balked at touching the nails up, it was a super inconvenience to keep going back for corrections. Other than that, it is a nice shop. I wish they did a better job on the gel application. read more

I usually go to another salon out of the area but gave this try. The salon was extremely clean and organized. May did my no chip nails and they look terrific. They could have a better color selection for no chip or locate it it in a better place as I did not even notice the painted faux nail color chips. Overall I was very pleased. read more

I went here for a mani and a pedi. The pedi chairs are the nice massage style, and everything seemed quite clean. However, my technician cut one toe cuticle to the point of bleeding, and then cut my baby and ring finger with the edge of the file (and holy cow that hurt for days!). The polish was well done and lasted as expected. Since there are many other nail options in the area, I won't be returning. read more

My best friend and I went here to get a mani pedi ($39) before homecoming. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the place is really clean. The owner is so friendly and nice and helped us pick colors. The experience is great, with massages/lotions on your hands and feet. I recommend and would go back!! read more

What a horrible experience.... I had been going to J. Nails since they opened and had always had a good experience, but lately things had changed and just this last Sunday I went in to have a pedicure which resulted in me walking out. The nail tech did not even ask me if I wanted my nails cut or how short and she just sat down and proceeded to VERY roughly cut my nails as close to the quick as possible and at one point she cut so close I said loudly "OUCH" and she ignored me and grabbed at my foot. I then told her to "STOP" in which she sat back and looked at me in a very disapproving manner and then tried to grab my foot. I then said very loudly "STOP" and told her to slow down. She then scoffed at me and I told her to "RELAX and take a breath" then she pushed her chair away and said to me " I know you come in all the time", I then told her to "STOP and that she was hurting me" She then ignored me and walked away and another tech came over and apologized. I then announced to everyone in the salon "that I came in for a pedicure not a Staph infection" and I told her if she didn't have the time then not take the appointment. I also told her how disappointed I was, seeing that I was a regular customer and never complained. She just kept apologizing and I said "NO" I am leaving this is not "OK", and the nail tech who had hurt me said nothing. I will never be back. What a way to get rid of a longstanding client. I would advise that you"STAY AWAY" from this salon. From other reviews I am seeing a pattern of this. When you get a pedicure they should not hurt you. Its not Mc Nails drive through and you do not want to get a fungal infection of a Staph infection and with this type of care that is what you will get. After this whole episode I went home and I soaked my foot in rubbing alcohol because my toes were in pain. STAY AWAY! read more

I enjoy J Nails and ask for May (sp?) because she does a wonderful job. The staff is always friendly and is willing to accommodate. The location is clean and they use new files and gloves with my pedis. I get the full pedi and I can typically wait about 3-4 weeks before returning. read more

After living around this area for about 4 years now, one of the best ways I found to start my Saturday is to get a soy latte from Starbucks across the street and get a pedicure here. I have been coming here for almost 2 years now and it amazes me how pleasant it is every time. Service is great, clean and cozy atmosphere, most importantly, they know what they are doing. I don't usually get a manicure since I have pretty brittle nails, but after getting my pedis, I always consider getting my nails done as well simply because how pleased I am with the service and the result. (I did hear that this place is also good for manicure in case anyone is curious.) I've also recommended this place to couple of my co-workers and none has said a single bad thing about J Nails yet. One downside is you probably need to make a reservation, otherwise, you might have to wait for a while. Hey but again, that proves that I am not the only one loving this place! :) read more

I lived in Arlington Heights for a few years and LOVED J Nails. I have since moved away and miss J Nails every day. Seriously- I'm waiting to get my nails done now and all I can think is "I miss J nails." Clean, nice employees, great work, and all the newest colors to choose from this place has everything. They are truly the best nail salon I've ever been to!! read more

J Nails & Beauty - I love "Peak show" by Essie!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

We made an appointment for 3 girls for mani pedi. When we got there at our time, the place was packed and they had us wait. We waited for more than 15 minutes for 2 of us to start. The third girl was 30 minutes wait. Then it took 2 hours to finish because they kept bouncing around to other people. Overall it was almost 3 hours!!! Ridiculous. Additionally, since they were in a hurry, the polish was sloppy and uneven. read more
