Bubbly manicure, polish all over cuticles
Brittany S.

Alright, I never write reviews but my experience at GJS has compelled me to do so. Let's start with what I liked: -Pretty facilities -The water lounge was great Onto what I didn't: I was given a gift card for GJS and wanted to treat myself to a mani / pedi ahead of my birthday. I arrived on time and was given a brief tour of the facilities by someone at the front desk. My plan was to put my stuff down in a locker, change into a robe, and then head upstairs for my manicure, after which I would grab my book from my locker and relax in the water lounge. Before I could do so, I was intercepted by the nail tech who said she needed to bring me upstairs right then. She told me she was on a *very* tight schedule (not my problem) and that I could leave my stuff upstairs while getting my manicure. I told her I was hoping to change and use the water lounge, to which she replied that she would grab me a robe and I could get changed upstairs. Frankly -- I was uncomfortable with this. I was hoping to organize my locker so I could easily grab my book with damp nails without ruining them, and preferred to have my items locked up. I got changed in the waxing room and when the nail tech returned I told her I really would feel more comfortable putting my stuff in a locker. She was visibly annoyed at me. She then grabbed my hand to look at my nails and said, "Do you even need to get your nails done? These look perfect." Yes, I had polish on my nails, but it was a hastily done home manicure that was chipped -- meant to hold me over until my appointment that Friday. Even if I got my nails done the day prior, it should not matter! I am here for a service. I informed the nail tech that I would be moving forward with my appointment. Again, she seemed annoyed. I put my stuff in a locker and came back up for my appointment. We started with the pedicure, which was fine. I booked the "Coconut Paradise" mani / pedi which included a sugar scrub -- incredibly overpriced as just the scrub bumped the appointment up to $109 before tip. As the nail tech was exfoliating my feet, the metal piece of the tool fell off and skin went *everywhere.* It was really repulsive and because the nail tech was the only person there she just had to leave it. Onto the manicure, which was truly the icing on the cake of this horrible experience. My nails were filed SO oddly -- every nail is a different shape. What's more is that she opted to cut one of my thumbnails but not the other, so they ended up as two completely different lengths. The manicure HURT -- I have never had my nails bent to the degree that they were bent during t his manicure. The polish application was, by far, the worst i have ever had. The nail polish was barely shiny, uneven, and SOOOOOO BUBBLY. I chose OPI brand nailpolish but the tech used some sort of nail hardener underneath and a likely thinned out top coat which may have caused the bubbling. I am not the greatest at doing my own nails, but I genuinely could have done a better job. She then forced me to sit for 20 minutes to dry my nails so that she "doesn't have to redo them" if I "ruin them" by the water lounge. Honey -- they were already ruined. My cuticles were covered in polish as well. Luckily I chose a polish color that I owned a similar color to at home, so i was able to go over the color with that + another layer of topcoat to remove the awful look. I will absolutely not be returning and I recommend you look elsewhere for a manicure.

My fiancé surprised me with a couples massage here and it was great! He had done a ton of research…read moreto find a place that gave good quality massages and was also clean! We arrived early for our massage and they were able to take us right back. I liked that we were able to fill out the diagram to show where we preferred they concentrate the massage and where we wanted them to avoid. The masseuse confirmed when he walked in and then showed me the timer for 60 min before beginning. The ambiance was perfect and we both enjoyed our massages. They even had a bathroom with a shower and robes/slippers for us to use after we were finished. It's a step above your no frills massage parlor! I would definitely recommend going here for a quality massage!

After my husband didn't have the best experience, I went to try it for myself. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I noticed the calm, welcoming ambience. The team was very attentive, and my masseuse consistently checked in to make sure the pressure was comfortable and focused on the areas I noted in my intake form. I actually ended up falling asleep during the massage, which speaks to how relaxing it was. I will say that, like most spas, the experience can depend on the masseuse you receive, but mine was very positive. I also appreciated that the rooms appear to be set up with couples tables, making it a nice option for those looking to enjoy the experience together.

4.5. Enjoyed a terrific 60 minute massage a couple weeks ago. They have a variety of treatments…read morethat are available to book online or over the phone.* Arriving to the address the business is located on a couple floors inside a commercial building. You sign in at the lobby, then take an elevator up to the reception. I was running a little late and they were accommodating to start a little after the hour (they do mention when booking if you arrive late you forfeit the time, which makes sense since there may be customers booked after your spot). My masseuse (sorry I forgot her name!) was wonderful, very patient in waiting for me to arrive, asking if I wanted any water or tea, explaining the process and asking if I liked soft, medium or firm pressure. The pressure was accurate to my selection and she really worked on some of those knots! Felt decently sore the next day as I expected. The spaces - reception and treatment room were both set up nicely, clean and comfortable. I will say the bathrooms (which may have been shared with the rest of the floor) were a bit tight and could've been in better shape. It was the coldest day of December and my long, heavy coat was a bit hard to manage inside the bathroom stall. Didn't deduct any stars here since I'm not sure this is something they can control directly in case of a shared facility. *When I originally called to book, I thought it was interesting that they directed me to book on the website giving the reason that they'd need to take my credit card number over the phone if booking via call, versus entering my credit number online. While I appreciate the flexibility and security of passing my cc number over a website this also meant signing up for another website which usually means I'll get marketing emails that I may or may not be interested in at some point or another (aka spam). So I'm not sure if this was a persuasive selling point bc we could all use a few less marketing emails these days.

I was able to book a last minute appointment and was extremely pleased. I forgot my masseuses name…read morebut he was a class act and was able to fix my back pain up quickly :)
