I hardly know where to start, it was so bad from start to finish. If you're a previous Chrysalis or BeautyMark customer, this will be nothing like those pedicures. Arrived shortly after 10, was asked if I had an appointment, which I did not, and was seated promptly in a chair. Nice. 2 ladies were working and one was training the other on doing a pedi. Fine. Another customer arrived and she got the trainee and I still had the trainer. My nail polish hadn't even been removed before my technician was answering the phone, then changing the music, touching the other customers feet, etc. Gloves on/gloves off. No handwashing at all between customers. Yuck If I'm paying 45-50$ I would at least like a technician to myself. After that she cut my nails, used a dremel to file which I've never seen before on real nails, and that was pretty much it. A tiny bit of cuticle work, without oil or anything, and then used the cuticle cutter to snip some of a callus that should've been done with the file or cheese grater thingy. She was definitely not into her job today and was looking everywhere in the shop instead of concentrating on what she was doing. I've had pedicures for 30 yrs and this was the worst. I was out of there by 1045, so do the math. The other thing is when she pulled out the drawer to get some lotion it was absolutely filthy. Yuck. Anyway, it's a No from me. read more

Nice nail place to relax and get a service. They give you cut up fruit and a drink. The techs are nice and make sure you are happy with their service. I would go back read more

Update 2020: under COVID restrictions, Jimmy's does a great job keeping everyone safe. Many precautions are taken. It's extremely clean. I felt safe the entire time and refreshed again. Worth the trip over! Great personal care! Fruit and drinks! They don't take all day either -- efficient without sacrificing the care. Clean and friendly - love the products. My 4 year old daughter had her first pedi and they treated her so well. We always come to Jimmys when we are in town. Love it here! read more

Jimmy's Personal Care - Gel nails after 2 days... - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Absolutely the worst pedicure I've ever had and a total waste of money and I will pay GOBS for a good pedi. The chairs are awful, the "massage" is annoying distant vibration at best and when you get up to leave they are so poorly designed you have no choice but to step in the tub with your flip flops on. $55 for a pedicure that lasted no more than 30 minutes, no massage, no paraffin, no stones, no cheese grater (you know what I mean), no lotion, it's basically a polish change and nothing more. Total disappointment. read more

I rarely give 5 stars, but this place is kind of a gem. They take reservations and their prices are reasonable. We were greeted promptly and offered beverages. My pedicurist was friendly, gentle and thorough. My friend and her 10 year old daughter were really pleased as well. Quite possibly the best nail experience I have ever had. We will definitely be back. read more

Unfortunately, I had the most stressful experience today in Jimmy's Salon. I asked when I came in if they were too busy to see me. They said no. Turns out they were.I spent the better part of the day there getting g piece meal service. I usually get designs on my toe nails but I got whipped out of the chair before I could even ask. Then I sat in the mani chair forever. The girl worked on me between taking money and answering the phone. I filed my own nails in the meantime. She cut me with the scissors. Then she gave me some kind of a weird rub on one part of one shoulder. Then she slapped me so hard on the back of my whip lashed neck I cried out in pain. I got an instant headache. I had to get up and leave with my nails still not dry. Needless to say I had to go buy nail polish remover and try to redu my nails myself. I was a regular customer there for years, but I won't be going back. All it would have taken is a simple, I'm sorry we can't see you today instead of using my entire day and being tortured. Addendum, I am considering filing an assault charge because I was struck so hard I had to be seen by at the clinic. read more

I never write reviews; however, for the services I receive from Jimmy's salon and his entire team, they've made me a regular client now for almost two years, still extremely happy and smiling. Jimmy and his team are so professional and attentive. Customer service is excellent and the quality of services superb; they are always willing to customize and make suggestions that help the client. They don't just do the service, they compliment it. I highly recommend going to Jimmy's for any of the services he offers, especially M&P's and waxing. Waxing is so gently done!!! Thank you to Jimmy and his entire team! Also, pricing is incredibly reasonable :). Always with appreciation from my head to my toe, Debra C read more

Jimmy's is reasonable and friendly Love going there always a special evperience! They are terrific an reasonable!! read more

I can't believe I I have found the mecca for my nails yes the mecca! This place is so clean this place is so nice this place is Zen I tell you it is total Zen thank you this is what whatcom county needs.. As for any other salon no nope not worth it not even gonna bother other! Is for anybody that wants to be in-and-out in 45 minutes if you want a Manny Patty, I suggest you take your butts back to Seattle or go to Ferndale I'm sure one of those itty bitty little places could do that. This place takes the time and this place does a great job!And for anyone that says otherwise ....you're just ridiculous ... Thank you Jimmy! Your heart truely shows in this business! Nameste! read more

Very friendly staff immediately offering us drinks while we waited a brief amount of time, to be expected, as we were a walk in. San Pellegrino was served ice cold and delicious. We got the deluxe pedicure and manicure. Excellent massage of legs and arms/neck during services. My feet are soft and nails colored perfectly. I wish we lived locally so we could come as regulars. read more

Ive been to Jimmy's a fee times before and always bring a friend with me and its always been good enough but noThis time I brought my Mom and spent 170$ on full mani and pedis for my Mom and I for my birthday. My Mom had a great service and her nails look wonderful. My pedicure was good and the technician was friendly. My manicure was horrible!! The tech was rude and hurried and the gel manicure I received reflects this!! I have little bubbles all over my french gel manicure and she didn't even do my cuticles! I didnt even want french manicure but got it because of their limited selection of sparkly gel colors. They only offer 4 RED sparkle gel polishes unlike most nail salons that offer 20 plus. Gel last a long time and very expensive to get. So a rude and careless tech costed me a positive experience on birthday and it will be the last time I go to Jimmy's or recommend them to anyone!! read more

Jimmy's Personal Care - Example of one of the many bubbles on my gel french manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I think jimmy and the staff are very friendly but I feel some updating and changes need to happen. The prices have gone up for not getting much done. I got a pedicure which was super fast (20 minutes max). They used to offer shoulder massages, I did not get one. It was a scrub and then painted nails. The scrubs do nothing so I should have really just gotten a nail color and not paid for the pedicure since it offered nothing additional. I sat in a chair that was taped together in multiple place, and was full of rips and staining. The chairs dont offer any kind of massage either, just vibration at best but all the buttons were broken anyway. Fairhaven is growing with nice new shops coming in and this salon is starting to look run down, messy and is offering nothing different from the other nail salons read more

Bait and Switch We saw the sign advertising "Full Mani/Pedi $50 Mondays & Tuesdays" at Jimmy's Personal Care Spa. I called and booked an appointment for 2 for the Monday Mani/Pedi special. When we arrived at the salon an employee told us they no longer do the special. When I asked why they were still advertising it, she went to the back of the store (at the time I thought to talk to a manager?). When she came back out she said it is now $58. I repeated "$58 for a mani-pedi." She said yes and we decided since we were already there to stay. After a long, strange experience getting a mani-pedi they were getting ready to close, there were no other customers left in the salon we got up to pay. She said, "ok $68 each." We were shocked! I said, "you said $58." She and the other employees got very aggressive and said we misunderstood her accent and that she had said $68. We realized they had pulled a bait and switch! We would have never gone into the shop for a $68 mani-pedi considering there are other nicer salons in the area that charge less. We had been tricked by the sign and by their obviously well-rehearsed act. BEWARE! PS the manicure was terrible and she cut my cuticle with some sort of dremel tool read more

Excellent environment and hands down the best place to get your nails done in Whatcom County. Early COVID was a tricky time and everyone did their best with the information we had at that time. So happy to see this business staying up to cdc guidance and giving the most relaxing manicure/pedicure experience. Would highly recommend. read more

My nails had dirt under them at the end of service. Nail clippings littered the carpet area where one takes off shoes.!clippers were not clean and sterilized between clients. read more

The first time I went here was 5 yrs ago and I was impressed with the quality of service. Over the last year I have been very dissatisfied. I called to make a reservation a few days earlier and told them I had felt very rushed the last 2 times I was there. My friends did not wish to return however I decided to give it 1 more try. I even told them when I called I was going to try 1 more time and did not want to be rushed. Well they certainly didn't improve at all. She told me to come Thursday as it wouldn't be as busy as Friday. I waited about 20 min before someone even waved me to a chair. Then she turned on the water and left it running and it was super hot so I had to keep adjusting it. The man next to me was left with his water running and he didn't notice it was full until is started over flowing. My pedicure started 30 min late. It seems walk ins are taken regardless of people who reservations. For the manicure I had painstakingly been growing my nails for a formal event I am going to. My thumb nail had broken and the manicurist asked if she could trim them and i said yes only to have them amALL cut off!! she asked me after cutting them and she saw me looking at them if they were ok. I didn't say much since it was too late at that point. They are not even as long as my fingertips now. I have never had them so short.I will not be returning. read more

Horrible!!! rushed through pedicure. cuticles were bleeding, nails were not polished completely!!! Gave second chance and both times were equally as bad!!! read more

So ridiculous! My pedicurist was constantly looking to see who was coming in the door and did not STOP TALKING to other people employees. It was not relaxing and I felt no attention was paid to my service but to the next 'tip' who walked in the door. My pedicure was definitely not worth the money. read more

Great spot for a quick mani or pedi. Always seems a bit chaotic as you are greeted and they get ready for your service regardless of whether you had an appointment. And the atmosphere is just okay. But the staff is friendly and I've always been pleased with the result. read more

This was the absolute worst pedicure I have ever received and I've been getting them for over 20 years. The didn't get the dry skin off of the feet. Didn't get to Soak our feet because we were rushed. We were asked to get up and walk over to another chair bare foot on the dirty floor???! Then they messed up the paint by trying to put sandals back on and wasn't even going to redo the nail completely until I spoke up.Basically we paid to get our toes pained that's it! No one should be rushed like that for services they are paying for...Maybe Jimmy shouldn't over book appointments. Never will return read more

I always visit Jimmy's for both manicures and pedis. It's the best place in town, honestly. Very clean facility, the employees are extremely friendly and attentive, BEST massages (no doubt about that), a wide range of colors AND they serve wine and fruit. On busy days, they will always find room for a walk in, but best massages are on slow days and appointments, obviously. I've been to many other places...absolutely nothing tops Jimmys. read more

Jimmy's Personal Care - Cute flowers too! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Just moved to the area and I enjoyed my pedicure so much! They took care of all my nail care! Highly recommend.

I just wanted to follow up on my review. You did contact me about the review but you were so defensive, I don't think you really understood what I was trying to say. #1. I emailed you twice. You did not respond and I didnt call because a language barrier. That's why I resorted to Yelp. #2. Our girls started with us but went to other clients before finishing us. The pedicures were much shorter than what I get in Omaha, the manicures were rushed to say the least. #3. I did not say anything at the time for two reasons, I didn't want to embarrass my sister. And I didn't know if this was "normal". #4. We did tip well. It's not the girls fault that they are being told to go to another client. I wanted to give constructive criticis read more

Today I had a perfect pedicure. My tech was gentle, kind, caring and knew what she was doing and listened to my concerns. No flowers for me today. Love this place and I enjoy the fruit and sparkling water. Thanks ladies! read more

I've been to many nail salons around Bham and this one has the best combination of service, quality work and good atmosphere. They were very busy while we were there but kept everyone happy. We got a splendid fruit plate and choice of quality beverages including wine and beer! The selection of polishes was terrific! I left my usual Dior polish at home but they had an OPI almost exactly the same shade. On top I got a quality pedicure and my toe nails looks neat as well as stylish. read more

I just want to say that I have been going to Jimmy's to get my nails done now for a few years. I trust Anna totally for my monthly nail services always. She is on time for her appointments, does an excellent job, is caring, and her smile shines through her eyes even with Covid-19 masks. All the staff are friendly and when I have a Pedicure I will admit the staff are all consistent in the services provided and love the pampering. While you might pay a few more dollars for services here when comparing other salons, it is worth it! Oh, and Anna knows how much I like my coffee too. I will add it is so clean in the salon and a beautiful environment too which I appreciate when I take out of town guests here when shopping in Fairhaven too. Submitted by a loyal customer: Kathy Barnes read more

I was walking by and noticed the sign that Jimmy's uses only vegan, natural, chemical free products. I decided to get a pedicure, and was immediately greeted by Jimmy, who was very welcoming. This place is so different than the pedi shops you see all over the place these days. Jimmy's uses highest standards of hygiene, and they just got a 97 when inspected last week by the health department. I love the polish colors- plenty of choices. And no strong odors in the shop. I came out with a great pedi and NO headache from toxic fumes. Bonus- they served me sparkling water and fruit (I declined the free espresso and veggie plate). Great experience! read more

Jimmy's Personal Care - Jimmy's has a welcoming aesthetic. The interior is bright, with big windows and gorgeous views of Lummi Island. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I was very pleased with the atmosphere when we came in, we were taken care of immediately and felt very pampered, the massage, fruits, drinks and atmosphere were very enjoyable. It's only the next that I noticed my gel manicure got wrinkled? Never had that happen before, and my friends pedicure chipped less than 24hrs later. I wouldn't go back if I want lasting manicure, only if you have a group of people and want to feel relaxed for 20 mins. read more

Worst experience ever! I had a booked appointment and was left waiting at least 20 minutes while they serviced walk-ins before me. The pedicure was average and the technician got up and down from working on me at least 10 times. To top of the frustration its less than 1 week since the service and the gel polish on my finger nails is falling off in chunks! read more
