    There is no way someone professionally trained and licensed did this pedicure.
    Vanessa T.

    I've attached photos of a gel mani/pedi that cost $82 altogether. First of all, both colors I chose were unavailable. But what I'm here to leave a review about is the obviously unprofessional service I got. The tech seemed confused, difficult to understand and rushed the pedicure. She seemed to work as if she had learned how to do nails on the job, not someone who has had professional training and licensed. It was as if she was mimicking a nail tech and didn't really have the learned skill and understanding of a professional. Naturally the manicure wasn't any better. I sat down with her and she was getting ready to paint my nails with the same color until I pointed out I had picked a color for my mani. I have scratches on my cuticles from her buffing my nails (really fingers) carelessly. 24 hours later they're still painful. Fortunately the polish was nude because it's in my cuticles as well. It's easy to attack the nail "tech"; not only does it look awful, it's physically painful. But I'm going to put most of the blame on the management/owners. I worked in the spa industry for a long time and unfortunately, hiring unskilled people is a thing. The owners can quickly take more unwitting customers and not pay the worker what a professional is worth. Sometimes they take advantage of someone's immigration status. It's only a matter of time before it backfires of course. I'll also comment on the rushed service that's been noted in other reviews: if a spa is rushing your service, then they are definitely rushing the hygiene aspect. What you don't see is scary. It goes without saying I won't be coming back.

    I have been going to AJ Nails since 2006 -- first two St. Clair Shores then to Kercheval location (purely because of closer location, not quality difference). Both locations are superb service: from making appointments, cleanliness, professionalism of nail techs and quality of services. I highly recommend visiting AJs.

    AJ nails for the most part does an amazing job on your mani and pedi. They are super clean and sterile. The prices are a bit high but you don't have to worry about chipping and messy work. The staff is semi friendly but professional. The color options and polished range from classic to the most up to date trends. You won't be dissatisfied.

    Nice, new, massage chairs

    AJ nails is an upscale walk-in nail salon. Best for convenience not necessarily a pampering experience. Due to their location they are rather busy and hence there is generally a 15-30 minute wait. I've had hit or miss nail techs. Some are cordial but others have been impatient and rude. That being said, the price point, convenience and location bring me back on a regular bases.

    Sign says they take walk ins. I walked in and was told they only take appointments. Good thing there are many other places to chose from.

    Cannot recommend this place. The manager is extremely rude to customers and employees. Service is hit or miss. Not consistent.

    It was practically empty, hours before it closed, and they wouldn't let me stay to dry my nails. I felt rushed.

For starters, you can book an appointment online which is a huge plus in my book -- it's 2024, you should be able to book all appointments online! I loved that I could also see the starting price of services while booking it..that way there's no sticker shock at checkout. I booked an eyebrow wax and a dermaplane with scalp treatment. I was stoked that I could book these services on NYE - just in time to head into the new year all refreshed! I booked a 10am appointment and was able to find street parking easily. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the receptionist and Jenna S, my aesthetician. Super clean spa with a nice layout. Jenna is an absolute doll! I absolutely love my full brows and appreciated her asking me if it was OK to leave a couple of additional hairs on my left eyebrow to match the fullness of my right brow. She did an amazing dermaplane which really helped freshen my look. To be honest, I was so relaxed during the facial that I don't remember much of the scalp treatment -- I do remember her telling me that she'd use a high frequency comb and some scalp oil, all of which was appreciated. I think if I was more awake for the scalp treatment, I may have wanted firmer pressure.. the scalp treatment has the potential to be one of those really relaxing ASMR scalp massages that are trending right now! I can't wait to go back for more services! Oh, just FYI - in the new year, they will only accept cash/Venmo tips, not a deal breaker for me but something for you to know!

    I had searched high and low for a spa in the Macomb and Oakland County area that just offered…read moreservices for foot massage only for weeks. I didn't know it would be so hard to find a place that offered this specific service only, but it was very difficult. After contacting about 10 spas, I found Spa in the Woods on Yelp, and read some reviews that I was satisfied with. So I decided to book the service, along with a full body massage service for my friend. And I'm so glad that I did decide to go with this spa! My initial observation of the spa was that is very clean, and the front desk staff was nice and professional. The appointments started right on time, and my appointment was with a young lady named Samantha. Samantha was super friendly and just had an overall sweet demeanor. She did a great job with my foot massage, and usually when I receive a spa service, I don't talk, but we both talked and we're engaged in conversation the entire 30 minutes of the massage. I couldn't believe how fast the time flew! I enjoyed the massage, and my only regret was that I didn't book an hour massage, opposed to the 30 minutes. I plan to return for about foot massage soon! My friend also stated that she was very impressed with her full body massage service.

So I looked for events on Facebook... well they were having a event to support and empower and teach all young women their worth and discuss situations thay they can overcome anything including past trama and beat the stigma. So when you pull up it just looks like the normal building on Mack Ave. I actually opened a business 3 doors down from here and I would of NEVER IMAGINED WHAT I SEEN. I am a avid reviewer on Yelp and Google. But never in the time of my 17 years of reviews have I been litterly speechless. Wow. I mean wow. The ENERGY I. Here is more welcoming than your grandma's house on Christmas morning. Us as women have so so so much to learn about eachother. There is a space her. a safe space for girls and women to go to. Share eachothers stories and past tramas and work together to help each young lady overcome and beat there trama and help them realize how powerful and beautiful we all are in our own way. Now the pictures I posted are just a taste of the magic within. Anything to help yourself spirituality, emotionally, physically resides within this secret Gem!!! The owner is so kind and truly puts everything into helping others. Just like me I feel I was put threw trama to overcome it and use what helped me to pass along to others who can't seem to be their best versions of themselves. They offer to much here. I strongly encourage you to check out the website and see the other services they offer. Out of every single review I have posted if you had to read one this is the most powerful and dear to my heart review. I can't begin to express how this owner and this place has given me so much hope in the world that there still are amazing people who truly care and give hope to all. I plan on having a powerful journey with this amazing business. I have so much good and love to share and I am starting here God bless.
