They treated me well and it was a nice special on mani and pedi from Monday-Thursday for $28. Original is $38. They tossed in my calluses scrub instead of charging me the extra 10 because I think I spoke their language. It pays to be friendly, but I tipped them generously after they just complimented it with the whole package. Big Apple color said my manicurist when I chose red. The massage chair for pedi was good to release tensity on the back for awhile while one gets to sip their feet in the warm water and getting toes done. The first time someone wrapped my toes with cellophane because I was wearing covered shoes so it won't smudge. Interesting technique and creative. They end the nails with drying and briefly massaged my tense shoulders. Other services are offered here, such as massages and waxing. They need to get rid of the 50 cents and just do a flat to the menu as well as maybe upgrade the interior a bit to make it appealing to go in. Other than that, I left happy that I got my mani and pedi done and a good deal while strolling by New York Manhattan. read more

Jaj's Nails & Spa - Red in honor of the big Apple said my manicurist - Nail Salons Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Worst experience ever!! DO NOT GO HERE! I went with a friend and she got okay service and I got horrible service! An Asian women with red dyed hair and glasses, DONT have her do your nails. She was the rudest person I have ever encountered. She was rough and did the sloppiest job. She did two coats on one hand and 3 on the other (it was a super light color). I had to pull my hand away so she can even them out before she put the top coat on. She was rushing me and I had to fight for what I wanted she was also complaining about me and pointing at me in mandarin. This is usually my way to relax and I was just more stressed and I paid for something I could easily do myself. Also I'm not sure they clean there utensils. And uses it from customer to customer. read more

I liked this place the first time I got a pedicure, it was normal, clean and they got the job done. However I went back for a second time and had a different lady and this time she put "callus softener" on my feet. Nothing during the pedicure was any different except for this one product (which may I add, I have at home and it doesn't do much). When it came time to pay she charged me a WHOPPING $16 extra for this "special gel". I told her she should have told me and nowhere on their price list is there a pedicure marked $38. There is a regular pedicure ($22) or spa pedicure ($52). After I was furious that she tried to rip me off I decided to tip VERY low. I usually ALWAYS give 20% tip at the least, no matter what. But I was genuinely pissed so I gave a $2 tip. She was not happy with me and told me tips are 20% and my response is NO, tips are OPTIONAL. Be careful WHEREVER you go to get your nails done in NYC, because clearly they can charge whatever they want even if they don't do anything more. I will not return because this woman ripped me off, which is sad because I didn't have a problem during my previous experience. read more

I live in close proximity to Jaj's Nails & Spa and even though I've been going to them for as long as they've been open for manicures, all it takes it one bad experience to never go back. I had such an experience over the 2013 Holiday Season and such a disappointment in how they chose to treat me -- especially to a long time loyal customer, such as myself. They are nail salons on every corner of Manhattan -- it's time I tried another one. read more

Great service and very friendly. My grandma lives in the area and loves coming here. When I visit I join her and they are super friendly and remember my sister and what's going on in our lives. A nice friendly community nail salon. read more

This place is wonderful. Very clean and the nicest, warmest ladies I had a great manicure, pedicure and massage. All for $72 Very professional and quiet. Can't wait to come back. Kwinny was amazing. But so are the others. read more

I've been coming here for about 2 years now at least when im home from being away at school. But i've never had any issue with this salons. The workers are very sweet. I like their color selection and my nails haven't chipped or anything like that. I don't use gel nail polish so i don't have that issue that most people have when it comes to gel. Definitely recommend to anyone. Also a pro is that in the winter they keep it nice and warm i've been in salon where its freezing so thats nice to know. read more

I have had a love hate relationship with this place. Sometimes it was great and sometimes average. I used to come for most of my mani/pedis and them stopped coming for a while since I started working downtown and like something close to work. Anyway, I came back in a pinch this week after almost a year and got a shellac manicure and a 20 minute chair massage. I don't get chair massages that often but this one was pretty decent. Anyway, 3 days later my SHELLAC manicure started to chip. Seriously? I went back today (day 4) with almost half of one nail peeled off. I asked them to redo that one and apply the shellac top coat to all my nails. They didn't charge me and was cool about it. However, just 6 hours later, another chip has appeared. I'm done! read more

Good job,.. nothing spectacular or bad. They did my nails fast yet they look good. They offer a fair number of nail polish and prices are competitive for the area read more

Worst nail experience I've ever had! I asked if they do pink and white gel and after a few mins of talking to each other in Chinese they say they do. I should have known to walk out then but I stayed thinking how can they say they do it when they have no idea what they're doing. 4.5 hours later I have raised THICK white lines that are supposed to be the white lines of my French manicure. And the worst part about it is even after over 4 hours it was still wet when the whole point of is it is supposed to dry in a matter of a few minutes! . I had to go to another nail salon to pay to have it removed. Also their manicure pedicure special during the week isn't even a good deal. They're overpriced and their service is horrible. read more

Worst place I have ever been too. I brought my own coral nail color. Had a mani/pedi. Awful pedicure - the woman (who was the manager or owner) wanted to sell me an additional service for dry skin, which I turned down, so basically she just changed color on my toes - no scrubbing. The pedicurist than took on another customer and left me with a young manicurist. The young woman actually did an okay job - as I was in a hurry, I opted for the quick dry she offered. It changed the color of my nail polish but not evenly - some nails were striped, some were a different color, others showed the original color around the edges - total mess. Obviously the quick dry product was a cheap product - have used it in the past but have never had these results! I calmly asked that they refund me - they spoke amongst themselves in Korean and laughed at me! The young girl said that the quick dry was the issue - really? shouldn't they use a better product? Awful, rude experience - place looks dirty- DO NOT GO THERE! I never write negative reviews but this was absolutely awful!!! read more

I came here for a powder fill in during my lunch hour and they quickly did my nails beautifully. Considering I was already 20 min into my hour I was out the door on time to make it back to work. Their tools are sanitized as are their towels. I am definitely coming back for their pedicure special. read more

Excellent job! I am very happy with the service. The staff are very nice and polite. I live in the neighborhood and am a frequent customer.

WORST place I've ever had my nails done in my life. My pedicure was all bubbly nail polish like there were hairs stuck in it or the nail polish itself was old and bad. I showed the lady and asked her to fix it. She tried fixing it and when I went to go dry my feet I saw that my pedicure was even more worse and bubbly. When I showed her again I got no sorry and she didn't even attempt to fix her awful job even though I already gave her a tip. Worst place ever read more

Great neighborhood spot! Good specials during the week for mani/pedi. Not the most glamorous salon, but they get the job done!

They really take their time with massaging, scrubbing, buffing, and doing your nails. The whole experience was not rushed but very relaxing especially after a long day and weekend of walking on my feet. The tools are clean, and Jessi was really friendly, sweet, and cared that I was enjoying the service. read more

I live in the neighborhood and walked into the salon to see if they did Shellac. The lady said yes, so I asked how much for a shellac pedicure. She said $30 first. I thought she was confused so I said again, for a pedicure? She corrected herself and said oh $40. So I said ok and got my pedicure. When my final coat was being applied, 2 women came in asking to have a pedicure side by side. At that point the rest of my ped was rushed, as I could tell she wanted my chair freed up for the new customers. She asked me if I wanted lotion. Of course I said yes. What pedicure doesn't come with lotion? When I've had other shellac they apply lotion and massage after the gel has dried. I assumed this would include the leg massage, but no, no leg massage either. I felt completely rushed out. Then when I went to pay all of a sudden I was charged $50. When I told her the manager told me $40, she said that's not true. The manager then denied it and said $50. What poor business. Then she said, ok $45. The price is not listed on their wall or price list either, so beware!! read more
