Came in on a Friday afternoon and was helped quickly. I got a gel pedicure for about $36 ($35 originally but $1 credit card fee). Their prices are reasonable considering some of the places I've gone to and the ladies are very kind. Although it isn't the flashiest nail salon and it is quite modest looking, I enjoyed the results. read more

TJ Nails - Price and menu - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

Walked in to the salon at 9:30 am on a Wednesday and there was only one gal in the salon without any customers present. She asked what I needed done and I stayed that I needed a fill. She said come back in about an hour because she had a customer with an appointment coming in. I told her that I would be back later or check another salon. I left to run another errand that ended up taking about an hour anyway. I returned to the salon at around 10:30 am and now there are 3 halls working. The original gal was doing a pedicure and the other 2 were just sitting there. I again stayed that I simply needed a fill. The gal says that they are too busy today as they have an appointment coming in at 11. I told her the gal told me to come back in an hour. The hall that told me to come back days she never said that. She says she told me to go to another salon. I don't know what is going on here but they are definitely playing games. When I walked out they started laughing. I feel like I was being made fun of. read more

Just average. Kind of pushy but reasonable so worth it! They are not as busy but understaffed:( read more

I have been going to TJ nails for years. Mimi has always been my go-to for a pedicure. I am not big on designer nails, but always get a basic manicure by anyone available at the time of my pedicure. They need a shop facelift, but y'all know how it goes with people doing your nails. read more

Went here as a walk-in on Wednesday. They greeted me and told me to wait 5 minutes. My experience there was great. I got a pedicure and a full set/acrylic. I'm happy. I'll be returning. read more

TJ Nails - French manicure/acrylic with gel polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I was shocked at just how bad my nails turned out. I asked for a gel manicure and the end result was horrible. There were bubbles, clumps, and all around a really messy job. I brought this up with the artist and she said it looked fine to her. She did not fix them and was annoyed that I kept asking her to take another look. She either lied to me to get me to leave, which is bad or she genuinely thought they looked good which is somehow worse. The salon itself is also pretty dirty and outdated. I would avoid this place. read more

They were quick and did an incredible job! More friendly and less expensive than other places I've been. Only thing I could maybe complain about is the cleanliness (just the building, not the supplies being used on customers). Worth the drive from Livermore, will definitely be returning. read more

TJ Nails - Natural powder acrylic, second day new set - Nail Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I got waxed here yesterday and they ruined my face. The lady waxed the same area over and over, complaining that my hair was "too thick." At the end, they put vaseline on instead of something like aloe...Pictures attached where you can see the damage. I am sobbing because I went in to at least get a refund and the same lady said my hair was "thick" and another coworker said maybe "You just have sensitive skin." I have gotten waxed plenty of times and it didn't result with my skin being ripped off my face. Honestly it was microaggressive at best, racist at worst. This place needs to be shut down or at the very least should not be performing waxing. HORRIBLE WAXER! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more

Good service,ladies very nice and efficient and location is very clean. Prices are reasonable .

Lisa always does my mani pedi for gel and she is the best she is my go to for sure. She is so patient, sweet and detail oriented. Victoria and the other lady with short hair are my go-to person for my acrylics. They're both so good at what they do! read more

I have been coming. Here for a while normally I see Lisa for my pedicure. Today I called before I walked in spoke to Victoria thinking I was going to see Victoria. I saw someone else. She did not remove anything basically washed my feet and sugar scrubbed and then dried it I was really upset despite me telling her I have cuticles I need then cut and the bottom of my feet are still dirty. I told Victoria that I am not happy but I still paid them half and left to city nails where she cleaned it up so nicely and removed all dirt and cuticles. I'm so disappointed especially because I am a regular customer here and Victoria and Victoria knows this I won't be returning. If your getting a pedicure ask for Victoria, Helen, or Lisa. They are the only ones who know what they are doing. Other then that don't take a chance. For me I work hard for my money and the last thing I want to do is throw it away. read more

I went in this establishment because my babyshower is tomorrow and I wanted my wifes nails done. We told the lady what we wanted and she looked at us and said, "we don't have time for that." Now, as a person of color, entering a nail salon and being told they don't have time to do my wife's nails makes me feel like we was being unfairly treated based on our race. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. read more

This no frills nail salon is my go to manicure fix when I'm pressed for time in between errands and after school pick up. I always opt for the manicure basic for $22 which includes nail trimming/shaping, buffing sea scrub, hot lotion massage, a warm towel wipe down, and last, polish. The result is always satisfactory and the color lasts for a good two weeks, granted I am not doing any obstacle course racing or runs. The massage chair is so-so and the rinsing sinks for the feet are covered with plastic that is replaced with each client. The nail color selection is not impressive, nor do they carry top brands. As per introduction, this place is when I need a quick pedi as opposed to a long, drawn out luxurious session, so for that purpose I like this place. read more

[[ My experience is specific to Jim, the man who did my nails, I cannot speak as to any other technicians that work there]]. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I came to TJ's because my go-to, "City Nails", was all booked up. The price for shellac was the same and the place has a 4-star average so I thought if give it a try. The man at the front was my hygienist (I'm assuming his name is Jim unless there are other males that work here). He seemed to be the boss as he also manned the register. At first, my nail professional was rather pleasant. However, each time he applies a coat of shellac polish onto my nails, he'd fail to take off excess polish from cuticle and around the nail bed so I would politely point it out to him before putting my hand under the uv lamps. When he was finished, I was able to see my hands at a different angle for the first time. To my disappointment, there were several nails w/clear and blue polish around the nail beds, on the skin. I could also feel polish, sticking like glue to my skin, under the nails as well. I pointed out that one of the nails was messed up and asked if he could file one of the nails down bc I could feel it was jagged. And this is where things went south and quick. The man began to get very angry, very fast. He was raising his voice, essentially screaming at me and saying something in broken English. I truly could not understand a thing, but I could see he was angry. He said something about if I had good nails, too weeks? I was so upset I seriously felt like crying. Here I was with terrible terrible shellac (which mind you, was my birthday present to myself) and instead of fixing them, this guy was yelling at me. I just paid and bolted out of there, no tip. Lo and behold, once the nails grew out (within a few days) the poor application caused the shellac to peel from the bottom. Avoid like the plague! Never stepping foot here again. read more

I will not be coming back to this nail salon. I called and if there is available mani pedi and the lady answered said in 30minutes. After 30 minutes when I went, she did my pedi and ask me to come back later for my mani because she has a book appointment. Also for the pedi she charged $50.00. This is way too expensive. read more

I come here once awhile only when i need my nails done. I usually get a gel manicure. They always been good but this time the polish start coming off after about a week. Base on my experience they usually don't come off after 3-4 weeks. I called and was told probably i peel it which I didn't do. It would be nice that they stop accusing your customers. They don't we have all the time in the world to go back and forth to get a redone. read more

I was given a $50 gift card so I went last night and had a gel manicure and basic pedicure. Upon leaving she said that will be $57.00. I gave her the gift card plus $7 and then an additional $10 (originally meant for tip) She said you owe me $2.00. I said, no I don't. I gave you $67.00. She said the gift card was paid with a credit card so it is really only $48.00. A gift card is for the value of the card. How the other person purchased it is on them. If you have a $2.00 transaction fee for credit cards it should be charged to the person using the credit card. She looked at me very confused and said you still owe $2.00. I said I gave you $67.00 so you have enough and I left. Even if the gift card was for $48.00 she was given $10 extra. What terrible service to ask me for $2.00. She should have just taken it from the extra $10 I gave her. I understand it is only $2.00 but it is the principle and the transaction fee should be charged when the transaction is taking place. If I walked in and asked for $50.00 gift card and I only had a credit card they should say, we have a $2 transaction fee so your card will be charged $52.00 today or would you like the gift card for $48.00? read more

If i could i would give this 0 stars. ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATIZING!!! I gave her a reference picture and told her repeatedly i wanted gold polish on my ring finger but she crumpled gold paper and put that on my nails instead. they still made me pay the full $62 for it. yeah do not recommend read more

This spot provides simple yet very clean manicure and pedicure services. My pet peeve with other places is that they don't do so well with cutting my cuticles so the outcomes doesn't look clean. Yet this place does an excellent job! Their prices are also cheaper than others but it is a dated spot. read more

"Bad Communication" Be careful. I called around before going to get my nails done. When I spoke to them on the phone, I thought I clearly understood what to expect for pricing. I was very specific. When I got there, I again confirmed pricing. Everything seemed to be going okay until I got to the register. All of a sudden there were extra fees for this, extra fees for that, bad communication on whether I want to gel nail polish or not. So just be careful with these sneaky people. My $45 mani pedi turned into $90! DOUBLE. And they spoke great English. Cheats read more

I came to this nail shop after 5 years. I came looking for the previous owner Jim, but he was no longer there. Prices have gone up since 5 years ago. The lady at TJ's did a good job and took her time. I usually always go for the pink and white or glitter gel. Their prices are on the average for for glitter fill it is $35. Which is not bad. She does take her time and they a lot of variety. This time around I picked a pink glitter with gold. Probably not a good choice because it was so loud, but what she did was amazing. They also have good spa chairs that are newer than the last time I was there. Pedicures start at $22. I will be back here again. Only bad thing is that if you use credit card then they will charge you $1 for the credit card fee. read more

Ladies, if you're looking for an affordable nail salon with awesome work, don't hesitate to make a stop here. After many years of jumping around from salon to salon and only seeing sub-par results, I am utterly relieved to find this place that has never disappointed me! I would not go anywhere else for my nail needs and you can bet that I swear by this place! Jim, the owner of this salon, is a pro at what he does and has always impressed me with his meticulous attention to details. He's also personable and genuinely friendly which makes it an even better experience every time I go in to get something done at this salon. He's by far my favorite manicurist that I have ever gone to and trust me, I've gone to many! The rest of the staff are also very friendly and I've never had a bad experience with them ever with the pedicures. Definitely make a stop by this place the next time your nails need some lovin'! :) read more

I gave this place a shot based on good reviews and it was local. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the acrylic fumes, not so pleasant. They seated me immediately without an appointment which was a plus. I got a basic pedicure and it was fine except it would hurt when she would cut around my big toe. Right after I got my pedicure (done by a lady) both big toes were red and in pain. Now one of my toes is INFECTED b/c she cut my skin too much and irritated it. :( They appear to sterilize their tools b/c they bring them out in little plastic bags but who knows. They must not wash their foot tubs well because if it wasn't the tools it was most likely the tub. Won't return. Update: They were nice enough to return my money (even though I don't care about the money..I really want my old toe back.) My toe has gotten worse since I originally wrote this review and I am now on oral antibiotics. I also got minor surgery TO REMOVE part of my TOENAIL at the doctors because it was infected so badly. Really painful and I really regret getting a pedicure! DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I work at 24 hour fitness as a trainer and I've always passed this salon up so I decided to give this place a try yesterday. She definitely fixed my chipped nail with a little bit of powder and went for a summer bright orange. I forgot the lady who did my nails but they're really good! Definitely recommend. Also their busiest times are on the weekends but mon-thurs there's no one there in the mornings all the way to 2-3pm! read more

I really enjoy the services that TJ Nails provides. Thanks to Kathleen N., I discovered this place and loved it! I have had a pedicure, shellac nails done, and acrylics. I absolutely love the work Jim does and if my nails weren't so thin from the acrylics, I would definitely be getting refills all the time! The people who work here are very attentive and friendly. Even if you come in before closing, they are very accommodating and genuinely enjoy their work. Word of advice: I would call before you plan on coming in just to make sure there is not a long wait. Tell them exactly what services you are looking to get so they can give you the best time estimate. read more

My wifies & I wanted to get our mani & pedi done, and we originally plan & scheduled to goto another place-we ran 15 minutes and they couldn't get us in. Thankfully YELP saved the day with TJ Nails & the great reviews about TJ Nails the second closest with great reviews. I called in immediately to see if they can accommodate 3 of us. He was honest to let me know he only has 2 technicians working at the moment. 3 of us, mani (w/shellac), and pedi. I had both of my wifies go first-I couldn't decide which colors I wanted for my hands & feet. Loved it! Its been a week since I got my nails done & it still looks awesome. I had two ladies-both of them were very gentle and the place & the tools look sterile/clean. Fresh from the sanitize/sterilized package where she peels open the package of tools she uses in front of me. I live in San Jose, and I think I'll have more wifey days to hang around this area for a mani & pedi. Well worth $35 for manicure (shellac), & pedicure! Same shopping center as CVS. read more

First time coming here as a recommendation by a friend. I was planning to get a full set of gel on my original nails. I told Jim my concerns and recommended me to do shellac. He said it has the same concept as gel without the need of a fill; remove every 2 weeks for a new set for $25 for pink&white. I really enjoy the shellac because it's light as nail polish and shine like gel, and without the chip. I will definitely come back for my new set of shellac. read more

Went to this spot based on reviews. It wasn't crazy busy, but I did have to wait about 30 minutes, as there was only 4 total technicians working.. -shellac manicures only $22 and it's about an extra $10 for a full set, from what I understood. Forgive me if that's not 100% right.. Veronica was my mani nail tech and I was satisfied! If you pay with credit card, it's a extra buck.. *****UPDATE Friday July 24, dropped from 4 stars to now 2***** I just got my nails done Sunday July 19 and the shellac has ALREADY PEELED OFF!! I'm definitely going back to have fixed, smh.. ***update update July 25, *** I went back today, Victoria fixed all my nails and I even changed to a brand new color without having to pay. I'm a happy camper and they get their 4 stars back! read more

Doesn't listen to customers likes or dislikes. Apparently these people are telepathic and already know how we like our nails done. Rude and talks about clients behind their backs as they scrub feet.

This place use to be my go to place but after today they have lost my business and respect. I went in asking her for a regular acrylic set and pedi and was very clear I did not want gel. When it came down to paying my bill came to $72 !! I asked why and the prices bc I've never payed that much for a simple acrylic and pedi well come to find out she did GEL on my nails ! Then I asked how much was the pedi? And she said $27 like wow I did not know prices had went up that high since re opening bc they even took their prices sheet down! I wonder why?! Ha seems like they are trying to scam people! My mother in law had went the week before and got the gel and pedi and only paid $55 but they were trying to rip me of by like $20 more for the exact same thing ! I was so shocked how ppl can do business like that?! You've lost this customer and won't be recommending no one to this place at all. read more
