    Idk I love the nonsensical vibes from the workers. I personally don't like talking to my nail techs when I get my nails done. I came in, was seated right away, was asked what I wanted, and I got what I wanted. My nail tech was so attentive and did a fabulous job on my marbled nails. Again, no nonsense lol just get it done! I will be coming back. PS. They do like it when you pay by Venmo, Zelle, CashApp. But they'll accept the normal methods too.

    This place makes me feel like my best luxurious self. When I go, I'm reminded of why I'm spending my money here. The staff is very efficient and friendly and are able to execute most designs brought in. I always leave here excited for show off my nails. Keep in mind that they just changed over locations. The new location is also very spacious and clean. Jen is so talented every time I've gone, I've had her! Pro tip: you do have to make an appointment!

    I've since been back many times during COVID and I'll definitely keep going back. Bang has done my nails twice, he's a manager super cool person and my nails look fire every time. Prices are reasonable for the quality in my opinion. I've never had a nail lift in the back ever, which happens to be frequently in the past at other nail places. I've never had any issues here every, they provide great service. My nails always look great and it's a dope local business.

    Bang N Jen came highly recommended by a loyal customer so I finally got the chance to give them a try. Excellent customer service, the entire team is personable and easy to talk to. I usually keep my AirPods in when I get my nails done but the team and clients are fun to engage with. I asked Bang to be creative with my nails because I couldn't think of a style and he did an amazing job. I could not have described the beautiful fall artwork he created myself. All of the technicians are extremely talented and can do any design from simple to complex art, I watched a few customers leave happy. Prices are reasonable, spa is accessible, sufficient parking. I will return.

    Love my holiday nails!

    This is the best nail salon around. I've been going to them for over 8 years. I've never had a bad experience. Everyone is super nice.

    Love love love, have come many times and they never disappoint. I have seen both bang and Jen and my friend has seen the other lady and it's always a hit never a miss! I tend to get long coffin shaped nails and always want a design or something cute when it comes to the way they are painted and they never disappoint, and they says a lot even if they are as exact as a picture but honestly can it ever be as exact unless traced. But love love love and would recommend everyone and everything about this place

    1st time at the salon... I forgot who did my pedicure but Lilly did my nails
    Monique D.

    I really like that they're by appointment only! You don't have to wait but a few minutes if you're one of the first appointments... and I noticed other appointments after me didn't have to wait but a few minutes... a few minutes meaning no more than 10 but most likely 5! That's unheard of in most places! The salon is very comfy. They either have calming music or good movies playing! The pedicure stations are the cutest and they're so much more comfy than the big chairs to me. I love the foot baths. I also love my nail stylist, Lilly. I show her a pic and she nailed it

    I used to alway get my nails done but stopped when I had two kids since I just didn't have the time for it anymore. Now that they're a bit older, I decided to get back to it but I had to find a new nail salon so I researched it and came across Bang n Jen. I screen shot some nail designs and went to my first appointment and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! I wish I took photos every time I got my nails done so I could post it on here but I didn't. I will say that every design or style I wanted to do, they could do it. I've done ombré, matte, cute Asian designs like clouds and bears, encapsulated dried flowers and the list goes on. They have every kind of stone, jewels, rhinestone, gold flakes and more for your nails than you can ever want or imagine. They just recently moved locations next to Curry & Pie in Elkridge. Lots of free parking up front.

    Got a mani-pedi with my boyfriend. They did an excellent job with my feet/toes, but they upsold me on getting gel and did not tell me the price. It was extremely expensive, almost $100 for entire mani-pedi, which is insane!!! Also they said it would not chip and it's been only a few days and my left thumbnail chipped already... The guy destroyed my cuticles, making three of my fingers bleed! He then covered them with glue to seal them. It was sorta painful. You can see the chip and the glue in my photos. The place was really dirty and I'm really disappointed about the cleanliness, pricing, and quality. Will not go here again.

    This was my first time at Bang N Jen. My nail tech was Lily (sp?) and she did great! I don't get my nails done often so I like to make the splurge worth it. I asked for soft pink-white ombre gel nails with a pointy almond shape, and got exactly what I wanted. I love them! To book an appointment, they require a deposit that is counted towards the total cost of the service. You can pay with Venmo or Cashapp. My nail tech also had a personal Venmo/Cashapp for tips. Bang N Jen will be moving to a new location soon. It will be about 5 minutes away from their current location.

    Found Bangnjen on Yelp and I was looking for a place nearby to get my nails done, and their IG and Yelp pics seemed like they were good with doing details and man was my intuition right! My nails came out so perfect and I love them! The shape is also so good , and I'm very picky about my shape. Can't wait to go back and get some Halloween nails after these grow out! My only note would be that the inside of the salon could use a bit of a facelift. I hope they start raking in some more money cause the interior could def use some love to match the high quality of service!

    Best in Howard County! My favorite please give to go! You definitely will not be disappointed.

    Stella K.

    I found this gem!!!! It was my first time visiting here and I'm already in love with this place. When I first called them to make an appointment, Bang gave me all instructions and deposit process, which was easy and concise to follow. I didn't have to wait a minute when I got there because they were already ready for my appointment. My technician was Lily and she was perfect!!! I love how she worked up my nails. Even though I couldn't bring the exact picture that I want, she picked up so quickly and took care of my nail design. Price is very reasonible and the store is very clean. I would definitely come back for future visits and even am willling to bring my friends and family.

They send out client forms and they were easy to fill out before hand. 5 minutes before my appointment, Taylor came and introduced herself. We walked back to the room and she sat me down and discussed my concerns, in-take paper work, and my overall skincare routine. During the facial she explained throughout what she was doing and it was one of the most relaxing facials I have ever had. I generally get facials done at my local med spa, however I will definitely incorporate Oja's into my routine. She addressed all my concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation. The massage she gave during and the hand/feet masks were a fantastic touch. Afterwards, she went over all that she did and also what product she used. I was thoroughly impressed by how clean, organized, the customer service, and etc. 10/10 in service, ambiance, and overall value.

She makes you comfortable from the get go and is enthusiastic about helping you achieve what you want. I found her literally yesterday on Yelp because of her incredible reviews. I then looked at her Instagram and knew I'd have an awesome experience. She knows exactly what she's doing and how to do it. I went in for a brow waxing appointment ((that she was able to make happen VERY last minute)) and asked a ton of questions, which she happily and thoroughly answered. She explained every step of what she was doing, and we chatted through the appointment like old friends. I ended up asking about brow tinting, and because it was so affordable, I got that too. I am SO happy--it was my first time with tinting, and I now actually have the eyebrows I've always wanted! I should also mention there was zero irritation after the appointment, when usually I have redness at my usual salon (About Faces). Thank you for being so awesome Kourtney! I will be back!

So, I ended up with whoever was free, and it was pretty obvious why they weren't already booked. I made a last-minute appointment for a quick manicure, and I got stuck with Vivian, who gave me one of the worst manicures ever. It felt like she didn't want to be there at all. All I wanted was my cuticles trimmed and nails shaped--no gel, dip, tips, just my natural nails. That wasn't her vibe. She skipped the buffing block and did a lousy job filing and shaping. I even had to remind her to make my nails the same length, which she huffed about. When I washed my hands, she asked if I wanted clear nail polish. I said no, and she said, "You're done." I had to ask about the warm towel and hand lotion, and she brought those out all begrudgingly. I paid in cash, and she just walked off when I asked for change to leave a tip. So, I ended up leaving my tip at the front desk, which is incredible since I've been coming here for years. I hope they provide her with some customer service training.

Both front and back are included and believe me it's not as painful as you think. She is great and will make you want to make this a routine visit. I'm excited to go back and refer lol. If you call and get voicemail leave a message she is sure to callback and is uber polite. Enjoy :o) I will def be going back, but I do think it's pricey that's the reason for 4 stars
