I've been going to Yoji since they opened as the are one of the only salons in the area that offer a Dip/Powder manicure which is my favorite. Joe is a gentlemen and has gone out of his way to remember my name and preferences and I always feel like a preferred client when I walk in and schedule appointments. I usually ask for Johnny to do my nails - he's my fav and I'm wildly particular. The salon is clean and serene and they typically run right on time. I will advise that it's best to call a few days in advance as appointments book quickly and ahead of time. The prices are reasonable for the quality service and there is a great variety of colors and styles. read more

This was the convenient place to go today in the center of town. All i did was call and they fit me in my perfect time. Leinda was very calm and made sure i was confortable. she asked me after every step if i liked the. she made sure to get the picture exactly right using all her techniques and she was very focused. the service was great and so are my nails. The price was surprising low because i got nail extension, gel, treatments and a design only for $80. read more

Yesterday I had MY first Covid era manicure AND tried the new powder dip nails in French tip style! I used to do gel nails, but no more! These beautiful eco friendly powder dip require no UV lights and take less time! They are no more expensive and feel slightly lighter thinner on. Joe is a true class act, always careful with the Covid precautions and gentle and patient with the customer. He was cordial, truly professional and a great technician. If they hold up as well as the gel, I'm a convert to powder dip now! I made a follow up appt for 3 weeks. Happy early bday (3/13) to me, Yay! read more

This was my second time at Yoji and I thought I would give it another try after not having the best experience the first time. I am very disappointed on how my nails turn out. I asked for a powder dip ombré French manicure and they came out like the picture below. They are clumpy and bumpy. They're just plain ugly. I didn't ask for a refund, I think small businesses have suffered long enough and I didn't want to add more to it. My advice to the owner, if your nail technicians don't know how to use powder, please don't have them practice it. read more

YOJI Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

This was my second visit. My first time was great and I was thrilled to hopefully found a nail salon since moving to CT!! My gel manicure last 3 weeks and loved it. Unfortunately this visit one of nails broke and I was told there was nothing they could do because they don't do artificial nails. So I had my nails cut to the same length. They looked okay in the salon but when I left and inspected further they are unevenly shaped and the gel polish has bumps in it. I also had a pedicure and my toe nails were also poorly shaped. I have pictures coming up and looks like I won't have time to get them fixed prior to pictures. At least from a distance they won't look bad. Small businesses have take such a hit in this pandemic that I did not ask for a refund. I was really hoping this was going to be my place but I guess I will keep searching.... read more

YOJI Nails & Spa - Small "debris" in my polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I had a really great experience at YOJI Nails & Spa this morning. I've been in Connecticut for about 6 years and I have yet to find a really great nail salon until I found YOJI. Being a new establishment, the salon is super clean and is decorated really beautifully! What I love most about the salon is the gel polish that they use. The brand is bio seaweed gel and I love that it is free of all the crap in most gel polishes. There's also a good collection of gel colors to choose from. If you're doing regular polish, there's about 6 times the amount of gel colors available. Lin my nail technician was amazing! She was sweet and really listened to what I wanted. She was very attentive and took her time (but not too long) to ensure I was happy. I was happily surprised that they give a massage while your nails are drying. It's a little pricier than what I usually pay, but I am really happy with my service and will be coming back again! read more

I was referred to this spot by a friend who is a native to Glastonbury and after my fourth visit there I can say that it has been the best nail & spa experience I've had so far!! I had never heard of gel powder, so I tried it out after the same friend spoke highly of it. My goal was to lengthen and strengthen my nails due to nail biting and overall weakness. My gel powder manicure was awesome! I pushed the limits but it lasted almost 5 weeks without a single chip. When I had it removed today I saw beautiful long healthy nails and couldn't be happier. The location and atmosphere are warm and friendly, and the service is great. Definitely call ahead to make an appointment, and you won't be disappointed! read more

I was excited to try nail products that were less damaging. Unfortunately, my gel manicure started to chip by then of the day and I was forced to peel most of it off. The person that did my manicure wasn't pleased with me when I pointed out that the color options on the card didn't show up the same on the nail as it was on the card. Perhaps the lighting in there wasn't good but after one coat, we had to redo an accent nail because it was so drastically different. He grew frustrated with me when I could decide because I felt like whatever I picked next wouldn't be what I thought, either. When I paid I was told, "in the future, we appreciate if you paid cash." Overall the experience was poor and I had to go get my manicure redone elsewhere. read more

My Mani always lasts four weeks and that is only because it starts growing out and I need a new one! I always get the powder dip because it is organic. The spa is clean and bright read more

Follow up review- in my opinion, this IS the best nail salon in Hartford area! Today I got a regular mani-pedi and it was fabulous. Joe helped me pick out a lovely spring color and Mia was great.

I went to YOJI for the first time today since the Coronavirus pandemic and I am beyond pleased with my gel manicure! Every employee is professional and ensures that the CDC guidelines are followed. I loved that my nail technician was meticulous about making my nails look perfect. He asked me numerous times if I liked my color making sure that the edges around my nails were nail polish free! Even though this nail salon is not the closest to me, I'm not going anywhere else! read more

My sister told me about this "new nail" place and after a little research-- it was chemical free, and all natural! I've only seen bloggers from the West Coast Instagram these nail salons so was super excited that one opened up in town. First of all, it is adorable!!! The decor is like West Elm meets your local nail salon. I got a classic pedicure and powder gel manicure. The pedicure was great-- it was your standard pedicure but they were attentive to your requests and making sure everything was comfortable for you. It was the manicure I was dying for! Powder gel! Never got one before and let me tell you, it was everything! I got two colors for an ombré effect and it was beautifully executed. It was an intriguing process to watch. It also included a back massage and hand massage. Price was reasonable for the services and in my opinion worth every penny. As someone dedicated to their nail salon, I may just have a new go-to place! Definitely worth checking out!! read more

I keep meaning to write this and after multiple visits and finally trying a pedicure, I simply MUST rave about this place ! I tried this place out when they first opened and received a special welcome discount which I thought was a nice touch for a new business. The owner Joe suggested that I try the gel POWDER because it is much better for your nails and the powder itself is non-toxic with vitamins to strengthen your nails. I tried it and I don't think I'll ever go back to UV! I was expecting my nails to be brittle or damaged when they took it off the first time I went back, but they felt stronger than they have been in a while considering I used to get the UV regularly! The atmosphere inside is so cute, and I love the fact that everything is organic or non-toxic. Also, cleanliness is HUGE to me and they open up a brand new single set of tools for every customer, along with a plastic liner in the pedicure tubs. I always look forward to going to Yoji, and I absolutely recommend trying the powder ! I've never had my nails last this long with no chips before- Exhibit A: attaching a picture of my nails TODAY. I got these done on/ around November 2nd. Besides being grown out, they look AWESOME and I even received compliments on them two times last week. Go here ! Try them! Trust me ! Oh, and I should mention that they have a reward system by phone number. I'm pretty sure I've earned a free pedicure after my next visit! read more

Today was the first time going there and I will definitely be back. I had an appointment for 1130, and showed up early at 11 because I was done running around. There were only 3 people working and everyone was occupied so I did have to wait - but that is to no ones fault. I hope the powder lasts, because it's beautiful. Only downfall would be they only accept tips via cash. It's a little inconvenient because someone like myself doesn't usually have cash, but thankfully today I did. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Went here for the first time and the atmosphere was amazing. Didn't smell like your regular nail salon. However the nail tech was rushing to do my nails and it wasn't even busy. Gel polish coats are uneven and she missed some parts of my nails. read more

I'm giving this Salon five stars because the young woman who did my nails did such a nice job and was so very thorough. I like the atmosphere, it's different from the norm. read more

The owner was great here. 13 of us came for an after hours event for a wedding and were all pampered wonderfully. My manicure lasted longer than some of the other places I'd been to recently and the pedicure was to die for. Will definitely go back and check them out for some pampering of my own soon! read more

This place is incredible! It is the cutest, loveliest nail salon with wood accents everywhere! The staff is friendly and fun and it's obvious they put their customers first. My advice: Definitely make an appointment because it's packed! I will be a regular! read more

Quick leg massage. Basic as they come. And organic. Where???. Seen no sign of that here. Will not be returning. read more

I have only written a few reviews on Yelp, and I typically have good news to share, but unfortunately this time, it's not so good. I moved to Glastonbury in July, and being a strong believer in supporting my local businesses, I decided to give Yoji Nails a try - not once, but twice. The salon is well-executed, and one of the nicest churn-and-burn nail salons I've been to, but the staff, including the owner himself are far from pleasant. I don't expect warm and fuzzy, but I felt unwelcome and much like they were doing me the favor - not once, but twice. If my manicure and pedicure were spectacular on either occasion, I would at least share that, but they weren't, and because the customer service was so bad, even though the salon is much closer to my home than other places in town, I will not even go back in a pinch. I gave two stars because the place is nicely decorated. A word to the owner, there are people out there that will patronize an establishment because they are treated well. You would do well to remember that. read more

I love that they use natural organic products but sometimes they seem a little disorganized and make you wait a while even if you call for an appointment. They are very virtuous and nice when you are there. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Today was my first visit to this salon and I cannot day enough good things about it. I Live about 30 minutes from the salon but because of their beautiful website and amazing reviews I decided to take the trip. The salon is by appointment only but I called this morning (same day) and got an appointment in just a few hours. When I got there I was shocked at how beautiful, clean, and welcoming the salon was. I was seen immediately and the powder gel is amazing. I can't recommend enough. joe the owner is so sweet and Gary who did my nails was perfect! 10/10 6 stars read more

This place is great. Reasonable prices for excellent services. A huge bonus that they use natural polishes. I was very happy with my regular manicure and pedicure, and both lasted a long time before chipping. The space is modern, clean, and spacious. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough great things about Yoji Nails, the staff, and Joe! The salon has a great vibe and is always a great place to go and relax. I have been a loyal customer since the beginning and love the quality of their services, specifically powder manicures. The salon is super clean and I always feel welcome when i walk in, probably because Joe is so nice. Call ahead because the salon usually books up advance and appointments are encouraged. I highly recommend Yoji Nails! read more

Found this place through Yelp and what others are saying is 100% correct. Excellent service, very clean, gel powder holds up for three weeks and feels great. No chipping, and my nails are finally growing. Be sure to make an appointment as they get busy, or call ahead. Well worth it. read more

I have been going to YOJI for over a year now, which for me is a huge deal, I used to change nail salons pretty much every 2 months. When I first started going to YOJI my nails were in terrible shape, they were legitimately paper thin and so damaged from the nail drill that many nail salons use that when they were filled my whole nail would wave! Joe has never used a drill on my nails and has hand filed them from day one. Today my nails can be filed without any worry that that will bend like a wet pasta noodle and look amazing and healthy. Joe uses only the best for his customers and takes his time. The nail salon is spotless and has never smelled like a nail salon. The decor is also so nice and fresh, again not that of a typical nail salon. Thank you Joe for making my nails amazing again. read more

Great place and service, they really don't take walk ins! I tried to get a pedicure with them on a Monday at 9am and no one was in the salon to be turned away. Other than that amazing service, clean, and affordable. read more

Yoji Nails is AMAZING! I have been going since they opened up and they have always done a great job. They are clean and attentive and always leave time for a massage (which in my experience other nail salons don't). I recently got married and wanted to have a nails party with the bridesmaids/ family. Joe (the owner) allowed 11 of us to come in and pampered us to the fullest. It was so much fun and they were efficient and did a great job. I would highly recommend Yoji Nails! read more
