[[HIGHLIGHT]]They don't respect your time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I arrived, I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes, but I ended up waiting 45 minutes before anyone even started. At first, I was okay with the delay. However, what really bothered me was how they kept taking in new customers while I was still being worked on. They would start with someone else and then come back to me later, which dragged the whole appointment out to almost 3 hours just for a mani and pedi. It felt like they couldn't focus on one client at a time, and that's really frustrating. Poor time management and lack of consideration for the customer's schedule. read more

They are slow !!! SLOW! I do not understand any place else I go they are very efficient with their time. I was going to do a deluxe pedicure and changed it because it takes forever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tell myself every time I will not come back ugh ! I would recommend going some place else that values your time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You should not have take 2 hours to get a basic pedi .

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice people, who took time to get a design right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But they were aggressive with my cuticles and cutting sides. The product use started to crack a week after. Would not go back. read more

Do not come here for any services. I got a simple manicure by the man that works here with gel polish. I was holding my breath the whole time because he was so aggressive with cutting my skin/cuticles. He ended up cutting my skin far far away from where my cuticles are almost near the tip/side of my finger and blood goes everywhere. He starts holding down so the blood doesn't go anywhere without gloves or anything so I wonder who else's blood was cross contaminated with their stuff. The lady comes yells at him and dips my bloody finger in this Nick powder where my blood contaminates the inside of the bottle the proceeds to put some strong oil "medicine" that I don't know what exactly it was.... I will not return after this. I was more scared of catching any infection or diseases and wonder about their cleanliness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After all said and done, didn't even offer a discount or apology even tho I understand accidents happen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been coming here for at least 15 years. They are very good at what they do. Cindy and the crew are always working hard to provide good service, beautiful nails and a relaxing experience. Went in this morning for regular toe polish and gel nails. I'd picked the sparkle blue for my toes. Cindy had the technician do the same blue in regular polish and had them put the blue sparkle on the top. If she hadn't had them do that, I would have ended up with barely there blue sparkles on my toes. Thank you, Cindy! read more

Great work. Love how clean the place is. My gel nails last for at least 2 weeks. Definitely will be my local spot

Love this place! Best pedicures I've ever had! It's quiet, the ladies are so kind, and it's their massage chairs give the most relaxing experience. And $1 per minute for extended foot massage which is the best part! read more

I came for the low service prices and I know they always take clients. I now feel some type of way though from this experience because as the manicurist was finishing up my set, I noticed another customer just needed a top coat done. Before they put the top coat however they asked her to pay and she was confused because she never had to pay before. They said you pay before you get the top coat so it doesn't mess up the nails. They went back and forth for awhile because again it was never stated that you had to pay before the top coat was put on. When I got my top coat put on and was almost done, I asked shouldn't I pay before I get my top coat put on? They said no. The mother of the customer came and asked why was this now a requirement. She had been a loyal customer so she was taken aback when her daughter had to pay before her nails were finished. I think the manager and her finished their conversation outside. To be clear they didn't ask her if she wanted to pay before or after. They told her to pay before which she did. The manicurist who was helping me started explaining to me that they ask if you want to pay before or after the top coat so the nails don't get messed up. I asked him why I didn't have to pay before I got my top coat and didn't get a straight answer. I also tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and say is it because she got acrylic or because her nails are long because I just got gel on my short natural nails. He said we always ask no matter what. I said you didn't ask me and I noticed him not ask any of the customers who were there before me that paid. This is definitely the watered down version but I'm not sure if this was just a misunderstanding or racism and discrimination. I'm for the latter and probably won't return to this establishment. I'm all for people getting it how they live and I see they work hard but check your biases and get it together. read more

So here's how my experience was today here at KJs. First let me tell you all my friends gave big kudos to this shop for honoring their appointments and showing off their cute nails.. So I had a wedding to attend and thought I'd get my nails all nice as I haven't had my nails done in so long what a treat right?..So I'm thinking KJs all my friends are raving about it.. I call at 12:15 and ask if they still have any appointments? The lady says to show up in 15 minutes..I had to be at the wedding by 4. No prob right? So I'm there as told by 12:30, now I'm waiting no big it's expected a little late. So a man comes to take me for my pedi, says he can't do my french tips..So the owner, boss, not sure, she said she can ..It took an hour to get my toes done!! Are you kidding me...Feeling positive that my toes look super cute though..I told her I need to get done, I have an appointment. The lady takes me to the manicure table,I guess decided on her own my nails should be longer and does acrylics, but now she has me wait for this other guy, who takes a bit to come over, so he's gluing long nail on me with crazy glue.. I did not ask for acrylic nails I hate acrylics, I specifically asked for a gel mani..so now I'm getting pissed I'm sorry but I was starting to lose it internally...Finally i say, I have to go..can you just finish so I can leave..I'm never going to have time to fix my hair, or makeup and still be on time..I was literally there till 3:15..almost 3 hours and I left with my nails not finished, no time to wax my brows..Several ppl left ...I literally had the worst nail experience ever! They literally have no respect for the customers or their time.. So I left with my nails not done after 2 1/2 hours..Never go here! Highly recommend any other place.. I guess tomorrow I have to pay to have this crap fixed.. Teach me to go to a new place.. read more

K J Nails - she has a lot of patience with my 8 year old daughter who likes to do the manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - American Canyon, California

Customer service feels mechanical and uninviting...word of advice this nail salon should be welcoming and inviting..it should not be taken for granted that just because your located in American Canyon (1 of 3 nail salons) there was a feel of burned out nail salon technicians who need customer service training as well as the nail salon owner. read more

This place is the worst nail salon in the area I don't recommend it at all bad service and very slow I wasted my time for nothing I stayed there from 12:30 pm and finished at 3:44 pm for a very bad result almost 4 hours the lady there worked on my nails and at the end they looked very bad I put one star for them just because I can't write a review without adding a star but if its to I am not going to give them any single star read more

Experience was just ok. On a positive side, they were able to accommodate a walk in. One of my nails needed a repair after the technician accidentally brushed up against it. Although I think she noticed it at the time, I had to mention that nail needed to get fixed. Major points lost when she took shortcuts rather than taking the time to properly repair the single nail. I know it's a pain at the time but this is the moment of truth where I either become a one time or regular customer. read more

For almost 22 years Since they opened I've been their loyal customer.Cindy is excellent with customers and all of them are .Their work of art at nails is extraordinary.They deserved to be given 6 star ratings. I recommended them to my family and friends .Salute for the job well done.i don't know why they only have thise stars but 5 stars recommended to everyone .Thank u guys read more

Took my girlfriend here because we were in the area and the lady who helped us out was super friendly and welcoming. The vibe was a family owned establishment, but with very little workers we understood there might be a wait. The lady who did my girlfriends nails treated us so kindly and my girlfriend loved her nails. read more

Honestly every time I go they take their time & they do such a great job. I give them a 5 star because they never disappoint!

Daughter got her nails done and she loves it here shes been coming here for almost a year. The staff are pretty good and friendly and since today is a Sunday it's pretty quiet.But this place can get busy so I suggest call for an appointment and be here at 10 am. The price is decent ,but they also charge for shape and length so always ask how much before they start doing your nails because the price can start at $20 to $45 or more. read more

K J Nails - My daughter got her nails done. Pink and blue, she loves this place. - Nail Salons Near Me - American Canyon, California

This is a quiet little nail shop located in American Canyon. I've been coming here for about a year, usually to get my toenails done during sandal season. When I come in I am greeted and asked what type of service I need (pedi or mani) & I let them know and then pick my color. Sometimes there is a wait, but most times, at least when I come, the traffic has been light. I usually get this nice man, but today I had a lady whom I've never had the pleasure of meeting before. I came in with my boyfriend and I was very excited because it was his first time getting a pedicure. She began to fill in my tub with water, but didn't check the temp. So when I put my foot in, it was cold. She asked how it felt and I told her it was a bit cold so she added some warm water. However, it didn't even get lukewarm before she shut it off. I was kind of sad about it, but I'm not really confrontational and I didn't want to be a bother to her. She continued with the regular things, clipping my nails, removing my cuticles, etc. but when she clipped my nails she also filed them which I found kind of odd because she was clipping them so short + filing them but there was nothing but skin to file. When she was filing she was also filing my cuticles as well, which I've never had done before. It wasn't a pleasant feeling but not enough for me to get mad at her about. I also was thinking it may have hurt more because my feet weren't warm. Anyway, she started working on my pinky toe (pictured) and she was filing it. All the sudden I felt a pain and I pulled my foot back and did a little yelp. I felt bad because I startled her and the poor woman probably thought I was going to kick her! I apologized but she looked more angry than concerned. I had only pulled back because of instinct. Anyway, it was kind of awkward and I felt bad because I scared her. My toe was hurting but it wasn't to bad. She continued with the rest of my foot & everything went well. There were time where she would completely stop to talk to the other worker working next to her, but it wasn't a big deal. She was a very nice lady so I'm sad to write this review. I was going to let it slide & even tipped, but now after wearing shoes my toe hurts. Every other time I've gone here I've had a pretty good experience. The other workers have always been very attentive and gentle with my feet. I've never had a painful experience, but this time was the first time. I still enjoy this establishment and I'm sure it was only an accident. I will be coming back, since it is so close and the work isn't bad at all. I hope you have a good experience if you come in. Ps, if the lady who did my toes is reading this sorry I scared you! Haha read more

Since the hours aren't posted on Yelp, I called the shop around 5:15pm on a Saturday. The gentleman who answered asked me if I'd like to come in right now. I jumped on that opportunity and got to the shop within 5 mins from my initial call. No wait, and they took the time to ensure my nails were done well. Very pleased overall with my mani-pedi (gel polish). read more

Omg! Tell me why EVERYONE that checks into this place today was here 2-3 hours!!!!! I literally waited 1 hour to be serviced in a chair with 2 people doing nails and 2 doing pedicures. Asian lady lying and telling everyone "we will be with you in 30 minutes". Lies!!!! Then she asked each of her customers to apply their own oil at the end! What am I paying you for??? Limited seating as their two kids are sprawled out on the front couches playing video games and eating snacks. Really??!!! I will NOT be back! I only waited because I was here 2 years ago and it was totally different. Done! read more

Really bad service. I think her name was Cindy owner of the place. I came in with my mom and friend. She started my pedicure by Putting aluminum and just let me sit there while she worked on other customers. She help my mom and our friend but kept me waiting ! Not even saying anything. Then one of her employees ask my age. What does that got to do with my pedicure! And I ask to have design on my nails she said gel only to get that kind of design so that means she only cares about the money not the customer. Looks like if you don't have money they don't treat you the same she only cares about your money not the customer. Money is important but don't judge people by there cause I sure don't. Her employees are ok. She needs to get her attitude change if she wants her business to work and not shut down read more

The first thing I noticed when I walked in this salon was the smell of acetone. It was strong but not unbearable. My friend and I walked in at around 12 PM today without scheduling an appointment and were seated right away. Three things I didn't like: 1) The guy who did my nails was on his cellphone multiple times. Unprofessional. 2) He put one thin coat of the nail polish I selected, a clear coat on top, and went on his break. He didn't even ask me how many coats I wanted. The nail polish was so sheer that you could see that I had on fake nails. So I asked the other worker who was working on my friend's nails to put on another coat for me. By the time he was ready to, the guy who was working with me came back from his break and did it. Since another coat still didn't look good enough for me, I asked him to put some glitter on top. 3) The price for acrylics is $22 here, which is $8 cheaper than the place I usually go to (Sky Nails in American Canyon), so I was pretty excited about that. However, they charged me $8 for removing the old acrylics I already had on. I wasn't aware of that fee. If I had known, I would have done it myself. On top of that, I only had 7 of the acrylics because 1 had fallen off and I removed the other 2. So $8 to remove only 7 nails is not reasonable. Overall, I am pretty satisfied. My nails turned out beautifully. The guy made sure my nails were evenly shaped. There is a large selection of regular nail polish. And they use good, sanitary equipment. read more

K J Nails - $22 acrylics (+$8 to remove the ones I had on) - Nail Salons Near Me - American Canyon, California

I was one of their first customers about 10 years ago. They were always OK, never great. Alot of bad habits. Haven't been in here in over 7 years....I was surprised they were so busy since they pissed me of so bad last time it took me 7 years to come back... and only because my regular place couldn't take me and I was going or of town so I didn't have too many options. Anyways the girl did a good job on my Desigin and the owner remembered me. But the problem came towards the end. 1 - they only had cheap gel to put on my nails. Then when I asked if she could put on a extra coat on my nails the chick just said no and walked away... WtF??!! So when I'm out of town all my paint cracks on my nails. And all the white turned yellowish and my rhinestones started faking out one by one. They looked horrible after 48hrs. I almost went back when I got back into town to make them redo them but figured they would just look horrible again so I just went back to my regular place.... So just Say no. NOT EVEN WHEN DESPERATE read more

I used to go here a lot because of the 2 ladies that always work on my nails. They always do a good job. Making my feet look good and feel good because they give an incredible massage. They take their time. But apparently they have their own shop now in Oakland. I am not happy anymore. Service feels so rushed nowadays. The lady who worked on me today is so rough too. Need to find a new place now. read more

I've been coming to K J Nails for years and it's hard for me to go anywhere else lol. I always go to Lee or Cindy for my nails and every single time they never disappoint! They are both super friendly along with everyone else there. However, be aware of what time you go in. If you go in when no one is there, you'll be in and out super fast. But if there's a couple people ahead of you, and they say it'll only be a 20 -30 min wait, it could be a lot longer than that. There have been a couple times where I've gone with my mom and we've waited for an hour but didn't mind because we didn't have any plans. Overall, they always accommodate to what I want for my nails and because of their friendliness and consistency, this place is my go to! read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon and didn't have to wait, which was really nice. I informed the lady I only wanted a color change with shellac polish. She was super nice and was very thorough. What ended up happening was I didn't realize she was actually giving me a manicure (I don't get my nails done very often so I didn't know the difference...my fault) so I ended up paying $24 instead of the $12 I was expecting to. Since she did a nice job, I didn't complain and left her a nice tip as well. A couple of hours later, I noticed some of the polish already peeling since she had left some of it on my skin. I went in the following day and let them know about and they gladly fixed it! They kept apologizing but I was just happy they were nice enough to fix it without charging me extra. I'd still come back here, but would definitely be clearer about the service I want next time. read more

Worst customer service ever !! Super rude , they're fake welcome is good at first but from the moment they start cutting your cuticles and filing , it's like they were trying to rip my toes off , I was there with my mother and my mom asked to be gentle from her previous pedicure from the same lady. They lady just nodded and started talking shit to the lady that was doing my toes and they were laughing and it was obvious it was about my mother . It was the disrespect for me.. please save your Money and time , you are their last priority. Horrible.. read more

They do a decent job but they aren't very respectful of time. I was getting my niece a pedicure and painted nails for a show she was attending. I told them we had 1 hour to make sure they could accomplish it. They said no problem. We ran passed the time by 40 minutes. They started her pedicure after mine even though she needed her finger nails painted too. I told them just to paint her finger nails the same color but they proceeded to give her a full manicure. We have had them just painted many times (she's only 9) without a problem. Also the lady who does special designs on the nails seems to always be off when I'm there. It's happened 6 or more times. read more

This place is pretty good! My cousin and I got our nails done here for the first time and was seated right away. Our nails were finished in about an hour and we got acrylics plus gel. TIP: When you go here you must tell them exactly what you want and they will adjust it to your likings, also you can show them a reference photo. The only downside to my visit was that there was a fingerprint on my nail when they were doing gel and I informed the lady who was doing my nails. She repainted it, but only that nail and didn't even it out with the others, so my pointer nail in the photo looked darker than the rest. Other than that, the nail shape and the color are beautiful!! read more

K J Nails - Holiday Nails! Great clean place :) - Nail Salons Near Me - American Canyon, California

I looked up this place when I was waiting to be seen at another place that didn't seem to care that I had made an appointment and was being rude to other customers that were waiting. I didn't want to spend money there anymore so I called K J Nails and they were able to see me and my friend right away. They were very nice to everyone that entered. Another time I called and was told I could come right in. As I was choosing a color, another woman who was there before me was told she would be seen right after me because I had called ahead and made an appointment. They honor your appointments which is a huge plus for me. They are kind every single time I'm here. They do a good job on my nails and fix anything that I request which is infrequent. This is my new go-to place even though it's a little further from my house. Customer service, quality work, and affordable prices go a long way! read more

I love the way my manicure and pedicure came out. Only thing I had a problem with is that it took SOOO Long!!! We walked in at 10:30a.m. And didn't end up leaving till 1:30p.m. I feel like they are more concerned about making sure they don't loose clients that walk in, instead of the ones that are already in the chair, mid-service. I'll be sure to clear my schedule next time I come. read more
