    Always great seeing my favorite nail techs Jay and Lyn! Great service always attentive and catering to my needs. See you guys soon :)

    The store is clean and cozy, and the host greeted me the moment I walked in. Vicky did my nails, and I absolutely love them! She is sweet, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in her work. I would definitely come back to see her again!

    Lyn did amazing. Got gel x manicure and really loved the quality design and the price. Really appreciate how hard she worked on these nails and her intentionality in giving me the best experience possible.

    Called and they said walk-ins were welcomed. Walked in around 6:20pm and they close at 7:30pm. The lady was nice but she definitely rushed through her work. She didn't really prep enough, or clean my cuticles. I got hard gel and some fingers ended up really thick. I asked for square-oval, and my nails ended up having different shapes lol I'm not too mad about it since I was a walk-in but I felt like she could have done a better job.

    Tracy did my nails and rushed me which made the crystals not strong. A lot came off the next day

    THE GOOD & THE BAD I have to keep it honest and update my review. The last 2 visits pretty bad and left me feeling upset. PROBLEM 1: I had my nails done w/ Tracy and the next day half the crystals fell off! The girl is NOT GOOD and seemed irritated when I asked questions about my design. She didn't do the lotion massage that comes with a manicure and rushed me out and I think that's why the jewels came off so easily. Usually my nail tech Jay takes his time and it stays on for 2-3 weeks! My pedicure by Vickie was great. She gives good leg massage strong hands so if you're into that book her. The color that I chose for my pedicure was too pale so I decided to go back 3 days later to do a polish change. PROBLEM 2: 3 days later I called to ask for the price and the girl on the phone told me it was $10 for a polish change. Ok great! When I went to get it done they charged me $20- so I explained that I had called in the morning and was told it was $10. The older lady (I think she's the owner or wife) gave me major attitude and was arguing with me that it's actually $15. Listen. Paying $15-20 for a polish change is totally okay but if your worker makes a mistake you need to honor it not make the customer feel like she's getting jacked. Now you lost a customer over $5. I spend $120 easily here because I love getting designs by Jay but after this incident I'm taking my business down the street to Magical nails. If you go here I suggest avoiding Tracy and the lady w/ the attitude. Book Jay he's awesome :)

    First time coming here, I made an appointment online which the morning of they moved an hour later. When I arrived they sat me, but it took over 15 minutes for someone to finally come, I believe it was Tracy? She started to glue the tips (I got an acrylic set), then she said she would be right back and left for a good 10 minutes. I wasn't in much of a rush but, if you don't have time to see a client, why begin their service then leave?

    Yvonne helped me with a gel manicure - she was kind, gentle, and meticulous. Would come back again!

    2nd time coming to MPJ nails and I can say I found my new nail spa. Their quality of work is amazing and they take their time. They are busy especially on weekends but with the quality of work it's expected. Terry did my nails and I will continue to come to her.

    First time getting Gel X nails done here
    Ana Daniela L.

    I'm so disappointed to say that the technician I had today was so mean to me for absolutely no reason.. She kept slapping & pushing my hands hard or pinching me so bad. I came in for a manicure and from the jump she was upset with me because the color pallet she gave me didn't have the color I wanted so I showed her a picture for inspo and she kept having an attitude while looking for the other color pallets.. I tried to ignore it but she was being so rude & this is so disappointing because I've been coming here for almost a year & absolutely love this salon. Not to mention she cut my cuticles so bad it hurts and is still bleeding and burning. To make things worse she cut my nails without asking me so at this point there was no return in getting my nails back the way that they were.. The manicure itself was decent , the previous one with another tech was the best but after this I'm not sure how to feel about this anymore ! I really dislike the way that I was treated , no one should have to experience this when wanting to go get pampered!

    I haven't gotten my nails done in a hot minute and decided to try this place since they do walkins! I went at 2:30 ish on a Monday and it was pretty fast, though it started to get crowded when I finished (3:40 ish) I didn't wait long at all for a walk-in, and immediately showed an inspo pic, and if i'm honest my nails turned out cuter than the inspo pic! The person doing my nails did it quickly and tried to copy exactly, but I told her to just wing it! We agreed to the size and this is what is expected, but she did a great job and not making me feel stupid for not knowing exactly how I wanted it. She was very kind and was not giving passive aggressiveness when I wanted shorter nails, and kept changing it. The salon itself was pretty spacious and I have to compliment the lack of smell, since usually most salons have it reeking of the nail polish. The chairs were comfy, the front desk and workers were very nice, and I'll definitely be back! Thank you- i'm so sorry i didn't get the name of who did my nails, but based on other reviews, anyone would do an equally good job!

    Told Vanessa I wanted something different for my nails & this is what she came up with

    Vanessa is amazing, her work is always clean , fast , and her work is always flawless. She does both my pedicure & my nails because I'm super picky, but she never disappoints. The salon is clean, and the music is chill. But if you want really good work done , Vanessa is your girl, both for pedicures and any vision you have for your nail set !

    Very clean pedicure massage chairs
    Mimi L.

    First impression, the nail salon is very clean and the staff are very friendly. I went on a Monday afternoon and there was hardly anyone here. The are so many massage pedicure chairs and manicure stations. This place definitely could service a good number of customers at a time. I would recommend Jay for manicures since he is very meticulous. Tina did my pedicure and she did a great job. My mom had Cindy do her pedicure she was also very pleased. We both came out refreshed and pampered. We will definitely be back again soon!

    I've been coming here for a few months, in the beginning the service really was all over the place…read moreand the customer service was iffy, I didn't feel welcomed and felt out of place, I first was put with the same tech my first couple of visits I had and my sets felt rushed, I ended up having to go back one time after walking out the door bc I hated my nails so much, I felt bad bc I'm so picky but it genuinely just felt like I was an inconvenience, since then the last two most recent visits I've had have been really good the first I was put in a private room with who i believe her name is ANA as well as another tech one for my nails one for my toes both were super sweet and attentive! My second yesterday was with CHLOE who i believe is a new tech did AMAZING she was so kind and paid good attention to detail, I always go in for a pedicure and gel-x but ended up canceling my pedicure, i typically get both done at the same time but yesterday other people who came way after me as walk-ins too were put before me and by that time my nails were already almost done and it had already been almost 2 hours. Overall the service has gotten acceptionally better, new staff, new services, and they're sooo sweet always with my kiddo! The prices are a bit high tbh I end up paying at least almost 200 plus when I go for gel x and a pedicure which i can understand and don't mind but so that others know what to expect, on the affordability side out of 10 I'd say abt a 5

I have gone to other nail salons in Atlantic Square and there is a MASSIVE difference in care and quality at Dean's. I don't mind paying more for a CLEAN and responsible nail salon. I've been coming here for at least two years and bringing people here with me and I always get compliments. Felt confident enough to even get my wedding nails done here. 20/10 cannot recommend this place enough. Even appointment making is a breeze, they will try their best to accommodate walk in's but they stay booked and busy. Don't hesitate, make an appointment and see how well they treat you!

    I've been a loyal customer of Kristy's for a long time and spend a lot of money at this salon…read more Unfortunately, Kristy wasn't feeling well today, so another technician named Tony did my daughter's nails. My daughter showed him the inspiration picture before he started, and the final result looked nothing like what she requested. The design was missing several major details, including the white sculpted accents, the flower, the gold embellishments, and the overall quality of the pattern. We came to an agreement were charged $80 for a set that didn't resemble the inspiration. What disappointed me even more was the customer service. When I politely asked if they could fix the nails, I was told they couldn't do anything because my daughter was a last-minute addition and that I would have to wait for my regular nail technician to return. If they weren't able to recreate the design, they should have been honest from the beginning instead of accepting the service and charging full price. As a loyal customer, I expected much better communication and customer service. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I hope management addresses both the quality of the work and how loyal customers are treated. that Kristy was gonna fix her nails. She also told me that before I came into the appointment that I needed to talk to the owner of the company so I was kind of surprised so I called the guy and he was saying oh cause you're still complaining and I don't know what so she doesn't wanna talk to you which is fine. I thought me and her were good friends, but I guess not and yeah, she fixed her nails, but here are the screenshots of all the stuff they kept telling me when I told them that I was upset with the service that I received they offered me a refund, but at this point, I honestly just wanted to get out of there like why did it take for me to talk all this crap so you guys can pay attention to me and they still have the audacity to charge me 40 bucks after their fuck up

Enter Briana! I found her on here, went to her instagram, checked out her photos, and booked an appointment pretty much immediately. Her suite being in montebello and only a 10 minute drive from me was also a huge plus. So I went on 4/26 (Sunday) at 10am. Location has plenty of parking since it is in a big shopping center. Upon entering I realized there were other services at this address (brows and hair). Anyway, Briana arrived promptly and we got started! Since it was my first time I was super curious and asking a bunch of questions and Briana was very kind and answered them all for me. She was super friendly and professional and we had a great conversation going throughout my appointment. Speaking of appointment, let me share what I had done! I ended up going with a gel manicure and pedicure. I was unsure about what color to choose so Briana helped me decide based on the dress I will be wearing for a wedding I will be attending (in Hawaii). And yeah, she did my fingernails first followed by my feet. Great experience overall, I will definitely return when I want to get them professionally done again! Thank you for the freebies too!!
