Samantha C.

Hue is by the best nail technician I have ever had. Not only was she so very nice, but she definitely made me feel comfortable and made sure I had everything I needed. The second I sat down she pulled out a charger for my cell phone and made sure I was warm enough. Her attention to detail was none like I have ever seen. She made it a point to not file my nails down too much because they were already very thin. She also was able to make my nails more coffin shaped, because the past two nail techs made them a tad bit too skinny for my liking (they were more stiletto shape which makes me feel like a witch). The salon is not that fancy and there are really no frills. I didn't see how the tools were sterilized, but I am sure they were fine. They have a great selection of colors and designs and the customer service was impeccable! I definitely plan on seeing Hue again!

perfect nail set

I found them on yelp and came in during covid and they were very courteous and had extra nice customer service immediately upon entering. Obviously my nails look glamEvery step of the process they were kind and detail oriented and customer service oriented. It was my first time getting my nails done in over 3 years and it was such a delight. Also the area is so nice they're right next to my fabric store I can't wait to go back. Update came back for a second time and loved the experience and the result

And nails
Jennifer C.

First time coming to this nail salon. I did SNS powder with the frenchie design and gel gold line design with almond shaped nails. Quite impressed with the way the came out. Only reason why they get four stars is because some of the nails are not evenly smoothed out.

J&W has done my nails twice now since I moved to the area and I'm so happy I've found my new favorite nail place! Gina did my nails today and she took her time, was super friendly and I swear everyone in J&W wants your nails to be PERFECT. $35 for SNS is a steal for how much detail and attention they give. It's difficult to judge nail salons on Yelp, but I swear this is a great place and they really just want ladies to be happy and have beautiful nails.

Smudged and the polish is uneven.

Nope. Went here for a pedicure after having not been here for quite some time. While they took me quickly, the dude clearly seemed like an amateur. He filed my nails down way too close to the skin and the massage was way too rough. I sat and dried my toes under the dryer while he awkwardly sat next to me. It was almost like I was overstaying my welcome. He finally handed me the bill - I paid and tipped - and asked multiple times - is this dry? Are you sure it's dry enough? He kept saying yes. I put on my super thin socks and slip-on shoes and walked out. When I got home, the thin sock material was stuck to the polish and most of it is smudged or has come off completely. So, it ended up being a complete waste of time and money because now I'll definitely have to redo my nails somewhere else because they look so bad.

What l wanted originally which is a picture on their yelp page
Jasmine A.

The place was nice, l got a gel pedicure which was really good 10/10 the lady was amazing. They do not have a great selection for gel polish. After this lady that is right in front from the pedicure chair 1 came up to me to do my nails from the beginning she had a attitude and all of my nails were different shapes. l informed her l didn't like them and she continued l was originally supposed to get a really cute glitter look. That was posted to their instagram!!!! My nails were all different shapes. l told her to just leave them with the acrylic being nice and that l would pay. MIND YOU she wants to say. $30 for these unfiled plain acrylic nails l proceeded to tell her to take them off because they looked terrible and l was going to go to another salon and she said they don't do that. l asked for the owner who took over and did my nails. The only reason l don't give this place 1 star is because the owner was very nice but mind you l still had to pay $40 for my acrylic when l had to wait there 2 hours and waste time with the first lady who clearly does not do acrylics. Will not return and do not recommend. I would like to know who does the nails that are reviewed because none of the nails in the salon looked like that.

At first I liked this place but then after my last visit (which is my third time), I do not think I will. Not only did Jenny not give me the color and design I wanted after multiple tries of letting her know, my nail fell off on Saturday when I got it done on Tuesday which I am not used to because they last normally two weeks. I contacted her and there was no response. I went here because it was convenient. But for $75 for these nails (not including tip) for it to fall off within 5 days and not get any sort of help from her says a lot. And overall I was never really that happy with my nails because there were always flaws. I used to go to Fuschiabeauty lounge in Jackson heights. They were pretty good but I live far now. But I will be looking for better places and hopefully I will not mind the travel, because although jw nail and spa is close it is not worth it.

Set I got done

I have been to this place numerous times and I have gotten multiple regular SNS tips which have came out decently good.However yesterday I tried a different style thinking well I have been to this place numerous times they're pretty good. However I got a new nail tech this time, a male nail tech. He was nice very respectful and constantly asked if I liked the job he was doing. However I didn't notice throughout the process that the colors were mixing being that I used one light color and one vibrant red color. However I didn't proceed to speak out because these people are license professionals I didn't want to complain until the product was finished. It wasn't until the last step I noticed that he wasn't going to fix it. I paid about $60 for a job that I basically did not ask for. The colors are blending which is not what I wanted at all. Not to mention him and his boss Jenny thought that the job that was done was the best that they can do. My nails look like a beginner nail tech did them and had no idea how to use SNS correctly.That being said I was not compensated other than being given a five dollar coupon that works for when you spend more than $60 which is less than what I actually spent. When I told the guy is there anyway you can make the bottom part pink like it was originally supposed to be in the picture he responded to me that he didn't know what he was doing and that this was his first time doing this style . I gave this place two stars because when I do go they do a fairly good job with my nails and they are usually pretty nice. This experience however was horrible because I spend unnecessary money for a horrible job. If your workers don't know how to do a certain style for a customer the workers should make the customer aware that they are unable to do the job well. I would not be coming back to this place again. Like any other individuals I am upset but I also felt it was unnecessary too cause a scene in the nail salon. I am writing this review to tell you guys do not go to this nail salon if you want nothing but your basic Nail style. I'd rather pay $20 more at an expensive nail salon who can do my style right then pay the money I paid were they completely messed up my nails

Pretty pink gel manicure
Monica C.

Came here for the first time earlier this morning and was very impressed by the quality of their service! Walked in at approximately 10am and was seen immediately. The salon was pretty busy for a Wednesday morning, almost every chair was filled. They had a decent selection of color gels, and an even larger selection of SNS colors. Color gel was $24, and SNS was in the low $30s. They offer great specials from Monday-Wednesday if you get a mani+pedi combo or gel mani+regular pedi combo (~$34) or gel mani/regular pedi/10min massage combo (~$43). I don't recall the exact prices, but those are approximates from what I can remember. I opted for my usual - gel manicure, in a pretty bubble gum pink color. The man who did my nails was extremely patient and meticulous. The nails were perfectly painted - no bumps, bubbles, or missed spots. The best part of the service was the complimentary shoulder massage that came with the service. It only lasted all of 45 seconds, but boy did it feel amazing! My ONLY complaint about this salon, is that they charge a supplement $5 for matte top coat!! This is disappointing considering I prefer matte top coat, and most places do not charge extra for that. I had to pass on the matte top coat, however, the glossy top coat came out looking just fine. I didn't get a pedicure this time, however, I did notice that they use disposable liners. Be sure to ask them for their loyalty card - you get $10 off your 11th visit! I definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

This is what I asked for

The lady that was doing my nails was so sweet but I could tell she wasn't experienced. I'm actually really upset with how my nails came out. I should have just done one whole color. I had to correct her multiple times and it still didn't come out the way I wanted at all. I'm very disappointed. I spent $84 including my pedicure that came out pretty good. I contemplated about asking for a discount because they came out terrible but I didn't feel like being the "angry black woman" lol

I always want to say that this is the best nail salon I've ever been to, but I didn't get that today. Made an appointment, (arrived early) was seen an hour after said appointment. I understand being busy and trying to see as many people as possible, but to rush through the entire process once it was my turn? I asked for a simple shape and was met with something that didn't really come close. The picture featuring the coffin nails colored white was what I used as reference -- unfortunately it wasn't met.

One of the 3 nails that's starting to pop off after only 2 days of getting them done!!!!
Razia S.

I would give this zero stars if I could I came in hoping they would do a good job based on other good reviews. I made an appointment with Jenny only later to find out the lady that did my nails wasnt even Jenny. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she barely looked at it. Nail prep was horrible, she applied the tips crooked and when I told her she said it was because my nail was crooked. When she started filing my nails she was burning my cuticle area because she kept on filing on my skin, i flinched and told her it was hurting but she had already cut 2 of my fingers. The filing was uneven and I have bumps in my nails. When she was filing my tips I told her to not make them too narrow as I wanted a tapered square nails but not too coffin however the end result was bulky and very square and when I told her I wanted them to be narrow she got frustrated and started telling me that's why she asked in the beginning and went on and on about how it's hard to file, well it isn't cus I went home and filed them myself with a hand file to fix the mess she did. She kept on going on about how I have wide fingers and blaming the final product on the shape of my hands rather than her own work. Safe to say I'm never going here again. ***worst part is that my nails are already coming off after ONLY 2 DAYS of getting them done!! And the powder she got around my cuticles looks horrible ****update**** It's been 6 days since I've gotten my nails done and 6 of my nails have popped right off, better off getting press ons if they're not even gonna last a week

Simple sns manicure
Mel B.

I wish I could give two separate reviews. I got a manicure and a pedicure. The manicure with sns is really nice. My nails look natural and it feels like it'll last. It's been one week since I got them done. My pedicure on the other hand didn't even last 24 hours. My nail polish has been chipping and has been such a waste. I usually get a regular pedicure and it lasts anywhere from 2weeks to a month without chipping. I have recommended this place for sns manicure but not toes. 2 week review-- All sns chipped and was easy to chip completely off. It's been exactly 2 weeks. Not happy with the outcome of the place at all.

One of the many colors they offer

This place just changed my life! Came in for a quick massage, powder manicure and pedicure. Where…read moreto begin... Massage: I suffer from chronic neck, shoulder and back pain caused from past sports and high stress from work that leave me with nausea, severe migraines and trouble focusing. I was seeing a masseuse and several different types of doctors trying to remedy some of my pain, most recently a neurologist. 30 minutes with Lola and my pain, nausea and focus have done a 360. After spending the last 2 years seeking specialists of different kinds I have finally found some relief. (The hot oil at the end is to die for) Thank you Lola! Pedicure: Pedicure was great, the chairs give a great massage as well and the product used felt amazing. Manicure: Goodbye to powder dip! My nails had literally one more dip left in them before my nails would be too thin to do much with them anymore. Luckily Lola put me onto a different type of manicure that would save my nails. (not sure what it is called) This was the best manicure I have had in my whole 12 years living in Queens/Jersey/Manhattan and in my life! Eyebrow wax: Say no more. Chocolate wax (Smelled tasty) and overall the best wax and shaping I have ever had. Overall: All the staff are professional and friendly and it's a nice calm/relaxing environment. All the product used is top notch. This will be my one and only place to go as long as I live in this neighborhood!!!! I would have almost not written a review to keep this a secret, but it's already out! Thanks Lola and team for making this my best spa experience ever :)

My only reason for 3 stars is that the woman doing my nails asked me to put a mask on. I'm not against it at all and I completely understand if certain businesses still want it. However, the woman getting her nails done next to me wasn't wearing one. She seemed like she was a regular. And when I moved to the back to get my pedicure, two women back there didn't have them on either. I'm all for complying with a company's policy. I would never argue it or cause a scene but if it applies to one it should apply to all whether the customer is a regular ot not.

Despite calling a week in advance and confirming my time, the last few visits have resulted in long waits or being told they don't have time for me at all -- without any apology or acknowledgment. Most recently, I booked an appointment for myself and a friend. We arrived on time and were told they couldn't take us. We offered to go have lunch and return in an hour, and they agreed. When we came back, they still didn't have time for us. It's frustrating, especially when it happens repeatedly and there's no effort to make it right. If appointments are not going to be honored, they simply shouldn't take them. Sadly, because of this consistent issue and lack of accountability, I won't be returning.

I ventured here when my usual place wasn't open that day and I'm very happy I did. Ended up getting the Green Tea Spa Pedicure (see photo for pedicure offerings and current pricing). Never had steam on my legs before during a pedicure and it felt like a unique extra touch that was enjoyable. Place is extremely clean and sanitary and I noticed people were trickling in and out while I was there. Most of the employees seem to speak enough English to communicate effectively (and of course some Spanish-speaking employees as well). My pedicure was done by Mia and I was so happy at the end, I tipped her $20 ontop of the price. They are extremely friendly, don't rush at all, and even a free shoulder rub while my toes were drying. They offer a stamp card for frequent visits so be sure to ask for one! Will definitely be back to check out their manicures.
