    Wish I could rate this place 0 stars. The only reason why I come to this place is because it's close to my house. Every time I come here I regret it. As I'm sitting here waiting... going on an hour. Might I add... I want a full set with regular polish and my nails are already completely bare. Only the very nice receptionist has spoken to me. Every time I come here she is spoken down to by the others. I have watched 5 people be taken ahead of me and the group of African American women were basically kicked out by telling them that the wait will be super long. Little do they know that happens anytime a person of color wants to get their nails done at this establishment. Mr. T just came and sat me in a chair and walked off saying nothing. Now I've been in the chair for about 20 minutes. My hands have not been touched. Side note: Come here with your fingers bare if you want to save some time. He did a really good job painting my nails but I was so angry I left early and messed them up myself. This is definitely my last time coming. Total time at the establishment: 2+ hours

    Her new "Ash highlights"

    I will start off by saying that i have heard good things about this salon. However, we did not have a good experience. My 17 year old daughter went in to get her roots done & her blonde highlights not to be so "yellow". She was asked if "Ash" would be what she was looking for & she said she just needs the yellow to be toned down. My daughter did not realize what color ash was. The hair stylist did not have any samples of hair color or pictures to show her( my salon I use has specific strands of hair with the different colors). Now I will say, I should have just gone with her so I could be a part of this & explained it to her that Ash would not be a color she would like.. Its far to dark. My daughter's hair turned out brown. We had to go to someone else that has to strip her hair & put in new color before a pageant the very next day. I know have over $400 in this. I'm sure her hair will be very unhealthy after all of this as well. I called & spoke with the owner & requested for her to give us some of our money back ( obviously I was happy to pay for the haircut & I would even be willing to pay for some but not the full $150.) They refused. She was very professional but made several little snarky comments such as " I would assume your daughter would know what ash is... it's obvious she gets her hair done often" & " I'm sorry you chose somewhere that you have never been before instead of going to your normal salon". So what I'm trying to say is that you need to be very clear on what you want & don't send your daughter on her own!!

    Yellow nails after 1.5 weeks. Gross.

    Came in on yesterday for a dipping powder appointment with Anh. Originally I scheduled the…read moreappointment for 1pm but changed to 12p since I was told she had a 2pm appointment. I changed to have more time instead of being rushed, as these were my birthday nails and I wanted them to look very presentable. I've been to this shop a few times before and have never experienced this rudeness and unprofessionalism I received yesterday. I showed Anh what I wanted done and she confidently agreed she could do the designs. My nails were rushed the entire time during the design part. What was suppose to be an ombré French tip, was not. I calmly stated to her that it did not look ANYTHING like ombré. She simply took the tip of a brush and just dabbed dipping powder on top, then she immediately became dismissive and rude once I explained to her the design wasn't accurate. She rolled her eyes several times and scoffed repeatedly while finishing and correcting my nails. Once finishing my nails, Anh went to the back room of the shop instead of immediately checking me out. I stood up front waiting to be checked out longer than I should have after an unprofessional service. I will NEVER be back to this shop for the way I was treated yesterday.As a registered nurse, I take pride in how people are treated. I'll for sure make sure other nurses and doctors don't come here as well.

    I walked in earlier this week and ended up getting to sit right down, even on a busy day. Bruce was…read moreso incredibly nice and helpful. He did a fantastic job on my nails, arguably better than the nail salon I've been going to for years. He adapted quick when I asked him to do a design on my nails. He educated me on what was best for my nails. I loved the atmosphere and communication between all of the staff. This is definitely my new spot! Thanks Bruce and team!

The guy got up from the chair & asked me to sit down. He was ok and the pedicure was mediocre. About 30 minutes into my pedicure two women walked in the door that did not look like me and she was VERY friendly And asked how she could assist them. Her approach with them and myself were totally different. I advised her that I didn't want gel polish bc I feel as if it isn't good for your nails, not that I couldn't afford it. I am unsure if this was her reasoning behind her dry behavior & lackluster voice or not. Either way, I will not be back ever again. This was my first & last time. I will not give the shop two stars because the other employees seemed to be engaged in conversation with the other clients in the shop.

And, if you want to just enjoy the services and are quiet, they are brisk and efficient too and respect your "quiet time". When they are busy, you may have to wait...but they will get to you. They keep their attention on their current client and i respect and enjoy that. Also nice is the space inside. Many nail salons have many claustrophobic stations shoved together to maximize space...but you have a very comfortable amount of room here. Also, its always spotless in here!

    I recently stumbled upon GJ's Nails after driving through Helena. It's nestled in the shopping…read morecenter with Alfa, HWY 52 nutrition, and the marathon gas station. I just walked in because I was looking for someone who could soak off my gel-x nails. Upon entering I noticed it was quite clean--the white paints and bright lights opens up the space. There were three nail techs there--two women and one man. Upon getting my nails soaked off I actually found out that they do Gel-X nails! I was so excited because it's really hard to find that service in Birmingham. I was able to make an appointment for the next day with Mimi. From start to finish it only took less than 1.5 hours. Mimi does a solid job of choosing the right fit for each nail. Although the nails could have been smoothed out a bit more (they still feel a little scratchy on the underside), the technique she used made me feel that my nails would be okay. The four star is because of the pricing system. The base price is 60$ which is totally reasonable, but everything is an upcharge--even to shape your nails. If you get another color, upcharge. I don't think it's super expensive, I was just surprised my nails ended up being an extra 20$. I'll be coming back, though, because I ultimately enjoyed my experience.

Not relaxing at all since small child ran over my toe with rolling chair, got into my purse, and wouldn't let me look at the color samples in peace. No massage and wasn't asked which type of manicure I wanted. Nails looked fine but not a good experience. I felt like an animal being herded through the gate + a 90 health rating?! Never again.

Great job on my nails and also helped me figure out why on my last pedicure, not at JR Nails, three of my toes looked like the polish just slid off a few days after getting the done!

I searched the local FB pages for recommendations and found that JR Nails had opened a few months ago. Rodger and Joann had previously been at another shop and gotten great reviews, so that's why I picked JR Nails. We were able to make a same-day appointment, but they also welcome walk-ins. When we arrived, there was one client getting a pedicure, and Joann and Rodger were ready for us. Another client walked in after we started, and they got to her pretty quickly, too. There is a large TV on one wall to watch, and signs indicating they had wifi available, but unless you're getting a pedicure, there's no reason or time to be on your phone. Another sign indicated that several beverages are available on request. The color choices were vast, and they give you the swatches from which to choose while they set up. All three staff worked quickly and efficiently. Even with the other two clients there, we were out in about an hour. At the front desk, they also offered us a piece of chocolate before we left. I'm trying to get my nails back in presentable order, and they've made me self-conscious lately. I walked out super happy with how they look and will return more often to get them done.
