I was soooo disappointed with my nails and the service! I got a pedicure and a full set. The First Lady doing my toes got very upset with me and was so rude when I asked her to fix my toes. She kept going over it with more nail polish making it looked globbed on and only worse you can see the strokes of the brush as well. She didn't apologize and left made me feel so uncomfortable then another girl came in to finish my toes she did a much better job and fixed them. I thought she was going to be able to turn the situation around but was wrong. She started doing my nails and suggested some different colors so I tried it. I thought I had liked it but then asked her if we could change it. She then got very aggressive pulling her drawer out and slamming things as if I had inconvenienced her and was doing me a favor. At the end I asked for a discount or for them to completely fix the nails and I would pay full price. She never apologized to me I told her how uncomfortable I felt. I was never rude to them I just didn't like the way my nails looked and I am paying for a service. She did fix my nails and I ended up paying full price since she did try to fix it but I'm so disappointed they look so chunky and gross they aren't even filled in correctly. I will never visit this place again. read more

I wanted all white nails and my ring finger marbled they said they could do that and I saw they could from their reviews and that's why I chose to come to j nails. He ended up just making a black line on my nail so I said nvm just do them all white. Almost every single one of my nails were crooked and had bubbles and my fingers were cut all around them so I told him I just wanted a refund and they did that for me and said they had told take them off which is fine they had me sitting there for 45 minutes with my hands burning from all the cuts in a bowl of the acrylic remover. I'm so disappointed that I had to sit in there for almost 3 hours for me to leave just with my nails ruined and cut up read more

My nails were not painted well at all. Super uneven edges. Clear coat was not put on the entire nail. And when asked to redo, they still did not do a good job. I did enjoy the hot stone massage but the actual application of nail polish. Horrible. read more

I wish we had not stopped at J's. :( Arrived at J's and ask if they had time for two mani pedi's, the guy jumped at "yes!" Okay, I get my elderly mom out of the car and we go in and sit with our feet in the water while we wait.........two girls showed up. Hopefully, they were licensed. My moms toenails are cut SO short they hurt still! She is so fragile the last thing she needs is another thing to hurt. I told the girl, "Please do not cut my mom's toenails too short, or she will get ingrown toenails." (we haven't had that problem in about 2 years or so. ) She cut them beyond short! The nerves under the nails are exposed. Ouch! I have the skin removed from the sides of my feet. The pumice stone took off the baby soft sensitive area on the SIDES close to my ankle bone. I have expensive bandaids and tending to serious injuries on the sensitive side areas of both my feet(not heels)...and my mom is in pain. From our "$82.00 Girls Pedi Day". *****Praying no infection..(cross fingers). The pumice stone is NOT new, it's used on other people. read more

They were able to accommodate 4 of us, same day. We made reservations about 3 hours in advance. We all got great pedicures and nails looked really nice! It was for a wedding and they did a great job making sure the bride got what she wanted!! Overall, very happy. read more

Super confused about my trip here. I didn't even get my nails done, I wanted to get a gift certificate for a coworker who goes here. We got a gift card to use to get little gifts for our management staff to show appreciation for hard work. I went in and asked for a gift certificate and was told to have a seat and waited for a few minutes until some guy came in. Apparently he is the only one who was able to do this transaction? I went to pay for it with the Amex card, he asked if I had cash. I told him no, and asked if they accepted cards and he said they did. I handed him the card and he asked if I had a different card and I told him no and asked if they accepted Amex, and again he said that they did and took the card... Okay so why did you ask for different payment both times if there was no problem? Super strange if you ask me, and no explanation about questions either. Based on that, I probably will never go there to get nails done. read more

First time here and I loved it. Friendly people and great talent. I showed Dan a picture of what I wanted and he did exactly that. He was personable and we chatted a bit. I will be returning! read more

J Nails & Spa - New polish called Cat Eyes ! Love it!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Grover Beach, California

Was in from out of town and was in desperate need of a fill. They did a great job, and were pretty reasonably priced. I will definitely come again next time I'm in town read more

Second time here. I liked it better last time. It is clear and tidy and the people are nice. But,the person that was doing my pedicure cut me with the scrubber sponge thing she was using. And this is paint all around my toes and there is bubbles in the paint. Not a good second time. Hope third time will be a charm. read more

The acrylics here are amazing. I've been constantly disappointed by the nail places I've visited in San Luis Obispo so I figured I'd try out in arroyo grande. So worth it. Dan does amazing acrylics; pays very close attention to detail and takes his time to make them perfect. So glad I found my new go-to nail salon. read more

Didn't feel welcome the second I arrived. Asked price before service than an additional five dollars was added on at end. Sorry no tip.

I got a gel pedicure and the water temp was perfect! They were accommodating to me and my 4 family members when we went! Hot rocks and lotion/oil after my toes were painted and I loved it! Really nice & had candy at the front! I enjoyed my time here! read more

One of THE best gel mani/pedis I've ever had! Both techs took their time, didn't rush- 1 hour for each service. Hot stone massage, exfoliating lotion for pedi. Dan the man is fantastic at gel nails. I wish I lived around here because this would be my nail spot hands down. Very affordable prices 25$ each gel mani and spa pedi. Do your nails a favor and come here! ;) read more

J Nails & Spa - Best mani pedi ever!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Grover Beach, California

I mean this place isn't the WORST but it comes to a close second. I don't feel comfortable or welcome in here at all. When it comes to paying they make it clear that they are upset if you don't have cash and that it's a hassle for them that you have a debit/ credit card. I was getting an acrylic set and all the chemicals were burning my fingers so bad!! I told the lady but she didn't seem to care. I have never had such a painful expierence before and I get acrylic sets done almost every two weeks. I won't be giving them my business anymore, the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because my finished nails are cute. read more

Do not recommend coming here. Ignored me when I asked for my nails to be shorter. They are lumpy and the shapes do not look alike read more

The ladies here are so darn nice and they truly help you relax. The atmosphere here is amazing and I enjoy every minute.

Love this place! After relocating, attempted many nail places even with great reviews by others, this was the only one that met my expectations. Jenn is the best! read more

I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN! Take my word for it - DO NOT go here and WASTE your $$money!!! They do not know how to do nails. They never give you what you ask for and do a horrible job. They are rude. I have left there in tears. Not because of vanity but because I hate to waste my hard-earned money! It's filthy as well... read more

I have been going to J Nails for a while now and they are the BEST! Very clean environment and very pleasant personalities. I had a issue with a manicure and when I went in to show them, they took care of me immediately and redid my nails. Super great service! When I walk out of there my toes and nails look fabulous. I love this place. Kitty read more

Great experience! I went in around 4:45 on a Saturday for a pedicure and they got me in quickly. Tina (Tinae? I'm sure I'm butchering that) did a beautiful job with my weird little baby toes. The massage was great, everything was really nice and clean and I was impressed. 10/10 would return. read more

Dan is super knowledgeable and friendly. The salon offers a lot of gel color options, like chrome and cat eye colors that other salons do not have. They can usually accommodate a walk in within 15-30 minutes. Only negative thing is during the pedicure, they float the used supplies in the water while my feet are soaking. I just asked them not to and they took it out. read more

Awesome experience! Very nice and welcoming friendly staff! Very knowledgeable and willing to help. Laughed, smiled, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would recommend anyone looking to branch out from there spot to give it a try. read more

I'm new in town so finding a good nail salon was a search. I'm so glad I came to J Nails. I received a wonderful pedicure. My nails were done by Amy who gave me a great gel nail treatment . She suggested using two colors which turned out very nice. The salon is very clean and I saw they use good sanitary methods when cleaning the spa chairs. I really enjoyed the massage while getting my pedicure. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Very rude sat in chair for 30 mins and nobody helped me didn't even bother to fill my water up for my feet didn't even acknowledge me

I have had my nails done by this wonderful couple for several years now. They are consistently the best in town! I am so happy for them and their Grand Opening. You've got to give them a try. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Dong & Dan are great. My mom and I came in 5 mins after they closed on a Saturday night & they were willing to accommodate pedicures for us. 5 stars for customer service & cleanliness. They didn't even make us feel rushed at all. My gel pedicure by Dong was meticulous and ended with a massage & hot stone!!! Dan even recommended spots to eat & visit since we were from out of town. This is your nail spot you won't regret visiting. read more

They did not do a very thorough job and the nail polish was all over the sides of my nails. Some of my nails even didn't have enough polish on them. My cuticles were very haphazardly trimmed and they looked worse than when I came in. The polish was also very bubbly and not very well put on. I did enjoy the massage but that was only about 30 seconds. The workers were nice but all in all they need to step up their service. I'd say that Golden Nails does a much better job making sure their customers are happy with what they get. Step it up J Nails read more

Would not recommend to come here. We walked in and no one greeted us. Finally when I said I had an appointment they told us to pick a color and take a seat which we did. We had to wait 30 minutes past our appointment (arrived 10 mins early) before they got to us. I understand places get busy and sometimes you are short handed but then they shouldn't take walk ins. Gel manicure doesn't look professionally done. read more

The pedicure ladies are SO sweet(5 stars!)! They engaged with my mom and I and were very professional. However, the male manicurist(2 stars), wow. So much attitude and rude. He was very aggressive with the file as well. But he painted one nail and it seemed very light versus what I chose. The number matched but the color was pink, not burgundy. I was very kind about mentioning it, but wow, I think his world ended. He started speaking his native tongue and stood up. Saying who knows what. The woman behind me (who doesn't have an attitude) VERY kindly helped me find the color I wanted. He was simmering. But she helped so much. He aggressively handled my hands, hurting my fingers occasionally. He has a large gold ring on his right hand. You got him? Ask for anyone else. read more

My mom and I come here religiously every 3/4weeks. Dan does our nails so well that we don't even have to think about getting them done till the 3week mark.
