I've had this set for a few weeks now but it still looks amazing!

i love this place! it's usually pretty busy because of how good their pricing & work is. but I love my nails XL and the do good everytime!

Every tech does a good job. Only Walk-ins. No appointments. Due to covid protocol, new customers have to purchase $3 file bag. Very accommodating. Not all techs do intricate designs. Lengthy wait for the techs that do.

Marbling with foiling

I am really pleased with my nails done by Darren I showed him what I wanted and he was knowledgeable of what the technique was and did an awesome job!

Always had a great experience when I've came here! The wait is long most days but that's because they are really good! I always leave really happy with my nails. So far I have had NeNe and Daryl so mine and I'm pleased with both!

She also did not buff out ect. My nails

I went there to get my nails and the Nail Tech Who is also the owner ( Dee) did my nails wrong because none if them are shaped correctly or the same size. When I called to get my money back I was called out of my name ( Nigga ) hung up on. She would not give me my money back. When I sent in pictures of my nails she told me to deal with it. She also did not buff my nails out or anything.

Perfect set

An amazing place to get your nails done, the wait time is long but it is so worth it! They all do amazing work and are super friendly. I could never find a place that could become my regular nail salon but as soon as I went here I could never go anywhere else. They have good pricing and everyone there can do amazing designs and nail work.

I'm not one to make those in the customer service industry's lives difficult bc I understand what it's like to be part of a business, but I paid a lot of money n waited a long time (2+ hours!) for this service and their unwillingness to cooperate and just wanting to get me out the door is extremely unprofessional with no accountability on their part or the willingness to accept criticism (clearly from their review replies) n not at all what I expected from them. Apart from them not taking appointments and forcing ppl to wait at their beck and call at this cramped nail salon, I used to come here a lot pre-covid and it was usually a good outcome for my nails n I never had a problem with their service until now. This is my first time ever getting serviced by Dee and I had set expectations because she is the owner of the salon and everyone else (who were already skillful in my book) said that she did it best. I asked for a design that frankly wasn't hard if Dee had just slowed down enough to be a little invested in me as her client. I was her last client of the night, but the whole time she was doing my nails she wasn't paying full attention to what she was doing to my nails which I don't appreciate especially sitting next to the other nail tech, Darren (her husband) who was attentively working on his own client: Asking questions, making sure he was doing what the client wanted. The moment her file or drill made contact with my nail she looked up and talked about everything else going on in the store. I'm not a fussy person so I let that go, I get that she owned the place and had to manage. She looked stressed and I'm not judging based off of that. However, it resulted in misshapen and crooked nails, some I couldn't help but ask her to fix. She did that and that was nice, but in the end the design didn't look the nearly way it was supposed to. The nails themselves were bulky and leaned off to one side. Let me just say that as my nail tech, I'm not supposed to know the logistics of producing nice nails. That is your job as my nail tech. If it's something you know you cannot do, then tell me so I don't keep wasting my time and hard earned money and go elsewhere or ask for a different "easier" design! The cherry on top of the botched design was her attempt to fill in what design she had drilled away, LAZILY, with polish. She couldn't ask me if I at least wanted it covered up any specific way? By the time we got done it was 9pm (could've been quicker if she wasn't half-assing it, let's be real) so I paid, left and then examined my nails in detail. The polish on top that she used to cover up just ruined what could have been a salvageable design. I called and asked to get it fixed by Darren the next morning because I knew he was able to do so, but when I got there I was met with hostility that I didn't come with at all. I told them I wasn't trying to make their lives difficult. I just wanted to be not embarrassed by my nails. While what I mostly had a problem with was the design, the shape and everything else were a problem too BUT I was willing to overlook most of it if they were to meet me halfway and they just didn't want to. What a horrible way to treat a returning client! They basically said that I was too picky of a client and no one there would be able to make me happy and that even I didn't know what I wanted (yo what?), which is absolutely untrue. I knew what I wanted and y'all messed up! All I ended up asking for was to hide the polish she added with another one on top and still keep the design she had made. Literally takes no more than polish and a few strips of tape, but Darren said for them to do that they'd charge me extra. For what! I didn't paint them and messed them up! He basically just shut me up by saying he'll refund me $20 for the design (cause clearly they didn't make any sense charging me for their shortcomings) n since they feel that they just don't know how to do nails with standards (also a horrible excuse), y'all lost a customer. Bye! PS, She also nicked me deeply and just glued it up.

Ombré, Chrome & jewels done by Darren

I'm born and raised in Greensboro, and have been getting my nails done from a young age. I've hopped around nail salons and always been unsatisfied with the quality of work, even when I get a simple nail style. Tj Nails has never let me down with how my nails look, and they will always accommodate if you don't like something. From matching a photo I find to giving me the exact nail shape I want, it's always beyond exceptional work. Tommy, D, and Darren are the only people I've gone to, and are the most humble, hard working and friendly nail technicians. I don't doubt the rest of them provide the same quality in their services.

How my nails were left after being kicked out for having headphones in.

I am currently a senior in college, I have been going to T.J nails since my freshmen year. The place does great work. However, the owner and some of the nail techs are very rude. I went to the nail salon on Oct 8th at 10:00 am and had the worst experience of my life that I have every had at a nail salon. The cops were called on me. This all started because I had my headphones in. The owner who was doing my nails at the time harassed me and try to push me get a " nasty attitude". While having my headphones in he asked me 4 different times was I having a bad day. After responding to him no. He still countuied to ask me why was I hostile ( maybe because I am African American female we seem hostile). I then replied no I just do not feel like engaging that is why I have my headphones in. Even though I was annoyed because he kept trying to make it seem like I had an attitude I remained calmed. He then got loud and said "I am not finishing your nails leave the shop" he had already put acrylic on my one had , and had my other hand with a nail bed that open flesh because he was repairing. I nicely asked him to finish my other please because I was scared of an affection. He still was rude. After leaving the nail salon I decided to get on my personal Twitter and tell my followers about my experience. I use to tell them about the good ones why not also the bad. Later that night one of the nail techs mentioned me calling me broke. The nail techs are talented however the customer service is bad. Once I put on Twitter what had happend, many people told me about how the owner has been rude to them. #BadBusinessGetBadReviews. #SupportBlackOwnedShops. They actually care more about the service then money.

Ombré nails. nude/white. Thin coffin. Exactly what I asked for.

I just recently found this salon but I've been looking for one ever since my regular salon moved…read moreout of town. When I called they told me to come right in and I was really happy they were able to take me last minute. This has continued to be the case, as they seem to always have availability. I THINK I may have found a few salon to go to! It's super clean inside, as well as the bathrooms and they have beautiful artwork! They also have portable charges, cup holders and everything to make you feel comfortable so you can really really relax. Also, the first time I went there my daughter came with me and she was happy with everything as well. She was in need of a whole charger and one of the techs let them use hers which I thought was very sweet and so not expected but I did appreciate it and so did she! Also, the first day I went in there a woman was sleep so I know she was feeling too good! They have a wide variety of colors, I'm not sure of how intricate they are with being able to do designs though. Now onto my nails, they do pretty good, I think the prices are just about what you will find in other places. The last time before last however I went and I wanted to get a French manicure but the guy said he couldn't do it without the top of my nail showing, but I wasn't using tips so I wasn't sure why that was, also my nail broke that same day but I went back a few days later and they fixed it for nothing! That is why I think this might be my new salon because they took care of me quickly with no issues and everyone in there seems nice, they start up conversation and I don't feel out of place there. There set up is also quite beautiful so I love going in there because of that as well and they have free wifi! One issue that I could see happenings is they have a small parking lot that's shared with other businesses, but I've never had a problem, so it hasn't bothered me. All in all I've had good experiences there, just need to find a solid tech that can take care of me regularly, but overall very happy with their services & hospitality and the prices don't bother me!

They do give you a complimentary wine, just one though, and only if you get a certain package and above. Their chairs were nice and they had MagSafe/wireless chargers built in for your phone which I thought was really neat. There are nice paintings in there and it was very clean.

I arrived on a Monday morning about 10:15. I was immediately taken to a pedicure chair. I didn't recognize the lady that was providing my service. She barely spoke a word to me. No good morning, is your water too hot, would you like a bottle of water, she was on her phone for 95% of my service. The pedicure was good, I only wanted the basic as I was running short on time. After my pedicure she brought over a water bowl for my nails. I'm thinking to myself are we not moving to a nail station??? No! She proceeded to do my manicure at the pedicure chair. I became VERY annoyed and felt it would be better for all if I stayed quiet. This was so uncomfortable as I have back issues and instead of her walking from one side to the other, I'm having to twist. I noticed my polish chipping and flaking off the next day!!! WTH! I don't know if it's the products or what but I have never had that happen before. I may or my not return to this salon, I definitely would not let that particular lady service me again. I should have simply taken my nail polish with me on vacation and did my own nails!

Thank you for your response to my previous review:…read more Response from the owner 16 hours ago Thanks for your coming !!! But we wanna clear with anyone come with us!!! When you have an appointment with you at 5:00, but 4:20 u already came, we okay for u soak, but u asked for 40 minutes soak!!! It's not right, our tech can't wait too long and we can't keep 1 tech free to wait for serve you for soaking 40 minutes!!! Our technicians need to work, they need to earn money for take care their life!!! Thank you for your understanding To respond to you I would to say that I did arrive at 4:20 however the service didn't began until 4:30 and after discussion with you and you being rude and telling me that you can't run the motor on the spa for that long because it may burn out and came over to me and said you would cut the spa off and I can sit for two hours very sarcastically and my fault is I probably should have left but I didn't! I didn't care about the spa being off I just wanted to soak for whatever reason that I needed to. You said you can't keep 1 tech free to wait to serve me but there was no one waiting and in fact no one came in until 5:25 which was during my appointment time so how is that keeping a tech from working??If I'm still getting my service and paying than I'm a part helping them earn money to take care of their life!!! My tech did a good job and was tipped for it...that's another part of helping to take care of their life. Please take care and thank you for YOUR understanding!!!

I also announced my mother wants the exact same thing. I told the woman when she asked which pedicure I wanted (deluxe $45) . I then repeated it to the woman doing the manicure ($18). Total for 2 manicures and 2 deluxe pedicures is $126. I go to pay with exact cash, after tipping everyone, and she said $205 was my total. Excuse me? Almost $80 difference! She explained that I was being charged for 2 GEL manicures and 2 GEL pedicures. I explained, yet again, that I brought my own everything: base, color, and top. They didn't need to use a single thing which differentiated a regular manicure from a gel one, as I provided everything. The woman then argued it was a different service. Everyone knows that it is NOT. I explained that nothing is different aside from the polish, which I brought. Annoyed, she called the police. I waited for them as I had done nothing wrong. She lied and told him I was refusing to pay for ANYTHING. After I explained the situation, he saw me pay the $126 in exact cash. Then the shop woman said she wanted us banned and I said that's fine, we weren't coming back anyway. If I hadn't have gone out my way to announce it 3 times, or they told me beforehand, it would have been better. It's ridiculous to think they want $80 more because of the type of polish. Literally insane. It takes twice as long or more to do French tip and that's only $5. I feel sorry for the workers there as I'm sure they aren't treated fairly. There are many MANY shops around, look for another one. Also, their pedicure chairs are broken. If that matters to anyone (which is part of the service).
