My aunt and I went there on November 16 for our mani-pedi. My aunt and I had appointments at J.C. Nails for our mani-pedi on November 16. It was easy to make appointments through Naomi! She is responsive and a real sweetie! My aunt and I each had stylists and they both did an excellent job with both sets of our nails! The owner, Tom is very friendly to talk to during every visit. I have always gotten relaxed mani-pedi whenever I go to this great local nail salon. The nail salon has a very relaxed and comfortable environment for all customers who want to get their nails done. I love all the selections of nail colors to choose from for both regular and gel nail polishes. I will come back to this place to get my nails done on future visits read more

Very disappointed at the manicure I got. Didn't look professionally done. Nails were not filed very good They had rough edges. read more

Just get a regular manicure with clear polish every time and the personnel are always nice and friendly. Never an issue just in and out . Never seems to be very busy in the afternoon during the week so I make an appointment on my way home from work(12-3pm) and no problems! Shop is quite big and spacious. read more

I had a scheduled appointment for a pedicure and ended up waiting nearly 45 minutes for them to even begin. The service then took over an hour and the results were AWFUL. I have nail polish in my cuticles and had to have errors fixed twice. The quality of the nail polish they use is baffling considering it looks old and potentially watered down? I easily could have done a better job just doing my pedicure at home. So disappointing because it hasn't always been like this here. I definitely will not be coming back after my recent experience. 0/5 stars. read more

I always have a good experience when I go here. The owners are very nice and the technicians do a good job. I mostly get pedicures but I have had manicures and I have been very satisfied. read more

Love the people , always very welcoming and do great work. Just fyi they are by appt only , please wear a mask at this time. read more

J C Nail - Pedicure - Massage Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Fast & efficient nail techs! Decently personable but hey, they're here to work. As long as my polish is on point I'm a happy camper. An occasional smile, nod of the head and a plea at "thank you" on the way out are however mandatory for my 5-star status. JC Nail has passed the test. Pedi chairs line both the north & south ends of the shop (approximately 20 chairs), the nail stations are plentiful as well; positioned in the center aisle and well equipped with necessary drills, powders, heated hand gloves, lamps, lotion & oils. They have a great OPI selection of polishes (my preferred brand) so they're WINNING! in the color category. Free Wifi, flat screen TV's, waxing, filtered water & restrooms all provided for your pampering pleasure. My gel mani was perfected. I'm a fan. ~Christy read more

Pedi and full set was TERRIBLE. They were nice but nails could be better and pedi seemed he was trynna rush but i was the only one there.

So bad! I've been several times unfortunately. The staff is fine but the quality is awful. I've had a problem every single time I've gone. I get my nails done religiously every other week, if I can't get into my normal stop I'll hop around because I don't do anything complicated, just dip on my natural nails. Either the dip is chipped, bumpy, uneven...list goes on. I call, they say come in to fix, still terrible. Nice enough people but terrible at nails. *owner has done my nails almost every time I've gone. Won't got back, it's just really close to my house so I've kept trying. read more

J C Nail - Awful, less than a week! - Massage Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Is the appointment only rule new? I've been here a couple times and never made an appointment. I walked up like I always have in the past and the doors are locked. Sign says open?? Also nowhere does it say appointment only until you go to Yelp or are literally standing outside and they won't let you in. Rather spend a ridiculous amount of money somewhere else where they don't lock you out. read more

Service was great and prices were very affordable! It was my first time and I am from out of town but would def be a regular here if I were local. Flew in for a wedding and was able to get a same day appointment! See you when I'm back in town! Thank you!!! read more

Wonderful experience at J.C. Nails. Was highly pleased to see they are following all of the recommended practices and procedures to maintain safety from COVID-19, including mandated masks, one entrance, social distancing, scheduled appointments instead of walk-ins, washing hands, and even providing a sanitizing station for your cell phone! Naomi is diligent, professional, and focuses on delivering the best customer experience. Spacious salon with a calming ambience, and my nail tech, Neelam, was great. My new favorite nail salon! Best pedicure I've ever had, loved the jelly pedicure. Will return when I can! read more

Oh JC nail. This place is so close to my house you could throw a stone and it it, but I never realized what treasure was there. My friend Amelia referred me for pedicures and eyebrow/ lip/chin waxing (don't judge we all have it). I'm just not a manicure girl, never have been. You have street parking available or turn on to the street by Penn Station for back lot parking. The door is accessible is in the front and back which is great. Street parking also available. When you walk in it looks like a typical nail salon. Posted pictures to show the area. Decent amount of pedicure chairs and manicure tables BUT at no point have I ever seen them to be staffed for that to be at max. I'm not sure why they don't have more employees. The nail techs are super nice, do an amazing clean job, and are efficient yet effective and provide quality work. If you don't like it they redo it no problem. Or if you get it smudged like within a day, take it back and they'll fix it for you!! The owner is super sweet and I am very happy with this as my go-to nail salon and waxing! I will be back!! Summer is soon! read more

This place is so convenient to my work and home. Several times I have gone in and each time I regret it. Today was the final straw. I was there for 2.5 hours getting a manicure and pedicure which is absurd. The employees are always eating or making personal calls. I walked out with the worst gel manicure I have ever received in my life. Look at the pictures. read more

Still love this place! The word is out because it is always busy. Sucks for me and my girlfriends, but good for the hard working ladies. The designs are always on point. A few weeks ago my friends and I where having another girls afternoon out. Went in a Sunday and if you do know you will be waiting. read more

J C Nail - Love the design! - Massage Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The owner, Tom Pham and all of the employees are extremely friendly to their customers, including me and my aunt. I love going to this nail salon to get my nail done. I have been going there since April 15, 2014. I love their massaging chairs and they do a very good job with massaging my arms and legs for my mani pedi. They have good scented lotions that helps keep your skin healthy while you're getting your nails done. I totally recommend this place for mani/pedi for special occasion and special treat for you on a regular day. read more

So I have been reading a few reviews and I just wanted to say that some people have been saying like when did u start haveing to make an appt? U have to call or text first to get in. Also people have been saying it says it's open but the doors are locked. Well there is a back door u are supposed to go in. If u made an appt u would know that u are supposed to go through the back. They don't let u in through that door because it does not open so now u know. read more

I made an appointment for a dip manicure and pedicure. I was there for 2 hours which is excessive. The lady that did my pedicure hurt and didn't seem to care that I told her that she was hurting me. So... I wasn't super pleased with the pedicure but my toenails look good so whatever. Then I had to wait 30 minutes for someone to do my manicure. I guess the person that did my pedicure can't do dip nails? I don't know but I do appreciate that they put me with someone that knew that they were doing, it just sucks that I had to wait so long and people were being taken ahead of me for the same thing. I was disappointed with the lack of variety of dip powder colors to choose from. My nails look good though and I like them better than a previous experience with dip that I had somewhere else. Despite the issues, I would go back. I would make an appointment on a different day and see if that changed anything. My biggest complaint was that their pedicure chairs are so close together that it's uncomfortable. They could afford to get rid of a few to space them out better. The parking lot in the back and variety of pedicures to choose from are nice. read more

The reviews for JC Nail probably reflect peoples frustration with COVID more than anything else. I'm sure there are salons not following protocols as closely, but I appreciate Naomi's efforts. I like JC's salon because everyone is friendly, Naomi is attentive, my toes and fingers have been well cared for and it's convenient. read more

Never again. I've been going to this salon for nearly a YEAR. I scheduled a mani/pedi for my wedding. I still waited AN HOUR. As if that weren't bad enough, I didn't get the manicure I asked for. To top off the whole experience, my GEL manicure lasted less than 4 days. I had to file one nail when I got home, broke another before bed, and chipped my first nail before the wedding. I am SOOOO mad. I spent a lot of money that day, not just to look nice but to relax. This was NOT a relaxing experience. read more

So I went to this salon in a panic because I left the Country for two weeks. I got my nails done the DAY before I left, therefore I should not be needing a new set (I have the dip) for two weeks when I return. I told Tom, the guy who did my nails, that the application was too thin and They are going to chip. He insisted multiple times that no one ever came back due to chipped nails. Well here I am, exactly a week later, still needing to make it another week abroad, and my nails are falling apart. I am very upset because I told him I was skeptical of them. But wanting them slightly thicker was problematic, and they knew best. I never leave bad reviews, but this place left me seriously unhappy. read more

I have been a loyal customer to JC for many years until today. I signed in and told there would be a wait, which I though was odd considering there were only two other women in the salon. That's fine, I get it. I then wait for 30 minutes, while five employees sat around on their phones! When another customer came in asking for a manicure and was sat immediately, I nicely told the worker that I had been waiting for half an hour to be helped. I was then told that I had to wait for a certain technician, because he was the only one who could do a full set of acrylic nails. I'm sorry, but if none of your employees can do a set of acrylics, why do they work at a nail salon? I left without any services and will not be back. read more

My favorite nail shop ever , the best pedicures in STL for selection/quality AND safety. I was already coming here before Covid happened and now that they are being so clean and cautious I'm even happier i don't have to be worried about where to go. Choose any pedicure you will not be disappointed . read more

I went here for the first time last week. There are so many safety measures in place to keep the shop sanitary and make sure we are a safe social distance apart. The diamond pedicure was amazing, I highly recommend it. It left my feet and legs so smooth and removed so much dead skin. The manicure was done by the same lady, and she was very thorough and meticulous when doing my mani and pedi. I am definitely coming back to JC Nail! read more

I love this shop. My pedicure was perfect and I love love love my acrylics. They are also diligent with safety and sanitation. It's very clean and safe. Everyone was super friendly too. read more

During my first visit the woman who did my pedicure left sharp, unpolished edges on my toenails (no biggie, just touch up at home). Liked it enough to come back. The second time however, was awful. I asked to do a green color (because I saw it during my fist visit) but they "don't have green." So I went with red. When I was moved over to the station from the pedi, THERE IT WAS, in plain sight. The green color I was asking for. Tom did my dip, asked me what shape I wanted. Almond/stiletto. He laughed at me and said I didn't have the nails for that shape. The top coat on my dip almost shrunk when it was dried, it left really uneven and weird unpolished spots on my nails. So I left with red toes and green nails... and I will never return. They also ask you a million questions before being able to come in, like "have you been to wheelhouse". Lol read more

I love this place. The staff is very friendly and even recommended a better quality nail polish that would last longer (OPI) when I happened to pick a different brand. My nail technician found the same color I wanted in that better quality, which was super cool and didn't cost more. She was just genuinely offering me better nails! I've been here several times, and since I am super clumsy while leaving/getting out my keys/flinging my hands around, sometimes I smudge a nail or two and come back in and they happily redo it. Once I even broke my acrylic off after I got it caught on a lock and it was fixed free of charge. I cannot imagine the type of people who come onto yelp, say they've been loyal customers for years, just to leave a bad review about ONE encounter they had. And the audacity and entitlement of people who think they are so important that the workers can't talk amongst themselves or on their personal phones while working! (there's literally a picture of a man working on his cell phone. This woman took a picture and posted it "hmm on his private cell phone while working") Who in the world do you think you are? Were you in the middle of a conversation with him? Have you ever been on the phone yourself in a salon? Did you expect him to just be silent and work on your pedicure with his head down? Jeeeeez. I just can't with so many reviewers. Unbelievable sense of entitlement. This place is great. They do a wonderful job. Very nice people and they go above and beyond if you politely ask them to fix something (even the things you mess up yourself!) read more

Been coming here for years. Tom's laugh is infectious, his daughter is amazingly talented and all the techs are nice and good! I like the options for types of mani.pedis and the scents available. read more

I am over the top impressed with jc nails! They have the safety procedures that I wish every business would implement. I have an autoimmune condition. This is totally taken into consideration when I am making my appointment. Special time, special place in the salon, very thorough cleaning started the minute a client leaves a chair. I will continue to go to this place where everyone's health is considered! read more

Love this place, during covid they have done everything for safety, appointments only, letting you know when to come into the shop, having everyone wear mask and distancing clients. During regular times the staff is always friendly, very competent and efficient. I would recommend this shop to anyone and am glad to support their good work. read more

I've been looking for a new nail salon, to call home! I think I've found that in J.C. Nails! I was desperately overdue for a fill in, and my feet could use some TLC too. So I decided on coming here for a *fill in & *pedicure . First they let me pick my polish. I was very impressed in there polish selection, they offered all the higher end professional polishes such as; O.P.I., Zoya, China Glaze, & Polish'N . There was also a small gel polish section. I decided on this awesome blue color from China Glaze. I sat in the pedicure chair, while I was presented with a book of about 20 different specialized pedicures that priced from $25-$45. I picked the classic pedicure, at the starting price. I can't remember the lady's name who performed the pedicure. But she did a awesome job, she really took her time nipping all the dead skin from around my toe nails. She massaged my feet for a decent amount of time. I wanted a flower design on my big toe, so I told her to do something cute. She painted a cherry blossom tree, her lines were very clean. I was pleased with the design. After my pedicure was done, another lady named Ana, started my fill in. I had long stiletto nails, I wanted to go to short square shape & she refiled them perfectly, and painted them beautifully!!My total was $48 ! I'm so happy with my nails and I will be returning there from now on. read more

Is there an option to leave a negative review? Although my service was adequate, the professionalism of the owner's daughter was severely lacking. Her judgment to talk about a potential guest after rushing her out the door for not calling to make an appointment, was very disappointing to witness. I guess the woman that walked in with 2 young girls, could have been preoccupied while walking in and could have missed the sign on the backdoor entrance. Quite honestly, I think everyone has become somewhat numb to the signs and could easily miss the wording on top to call ahead. I mean, c'mon, aren't we supposed to build each other up. Where's all the 'spread kindness' people? The way this room full of guest and employees contributed to talking inappropriately about this woman after she left was DISGUSTING! There are many nail places just on Hampton alone, why go somewhere that could potentially lead to this kind of treatment behind your back. Should be extremely ashamed of your behavior! I really wish that lady can read this review before scheduling her appointment. Took place on 3/19 approximately 5:15ish Btw, they want your vote for the A list, the readers choice award. I voted for PAINT Nail Bar. read more

This place is super close to my house so I thought I would give it a try. The place was packed on a Sunday morning and I got there right when it opened. I got a shellac mani and regular pedi. The menu for the pedi was extensive with lots of choices and aromas. The prices were pretty reasonable. The actual pedicure was great and I have no complaints. The manicure on the other hand was less than great. The man doing my manicure barley watched what he was doing. I understand sometimes they accidentally cut your cuticles but this was ridiculous. My nail beds were bleeding pretty bad so that when they cleaned my nails before starting the shellac it burned! After the manicure I looked and you could Clearly see 5+ spots where I was cut and had dried blood. I'm not sure if I will Go back to this place but if I do it will see just be for a pedicure and skip the manicure! read more

As a retiree my budget doesn't allow alot of nail services. Tom owner of JC nails manages a "happy place" for clients... Ive encouraged my daughter-in- law to change her fav shop in Clayton to JC nails... When my daughter has visited from NYC she's enjoyed services there! The coupons offered are terriffic and a great reason for me to receive extra services at a better price. It's a terriffic shop! read more

Naomi is very rude. I asked about masks now that the mandate is lifted. "If you don't wear a mask we don't want you here. '" her exact words. I texted the question about masks with no response, and answered her texted covid questions, texted when I arrived and I was still attacked when I walked through the door. It's a shame the girls that actually work there doing nails, are kind but Naomi is monitoring all the customer and yelling at them if their mask should happen to fall below their nose. Like we are animals being scolded. News flash... the mayor lifted the mandate if you are vaccinated and you can be nice about your rules. Don't yell at customers when they walk through the door.. I found a new place they said if I'm vaccinated I don't need a mask and they are happy to have me as a customer either way. I won't be back. read more

$93.00 for 2 manicures. One tech actually cut my finger. Would not recommend. Tready Nail much more reasonable.

Consistently great service! Tom, the owner, is always there and runs a great salon. JC Nails has the best pedicure options in town, as well as a great variety of nail polish-types that other salons don't carry (cat-eye polish, ombre polish etc). The salon location is a bit out of my way but it's worth the drive. read more

I disagree with the bad reviews. I like this place, they have a nice selection of pedicures-aromatherapy being my fav. And nice people that work here. Def my go to salon. read more

I have gotten my nails done at other places in St. Louis but came here for convenience. I came early on a Saturday morning to get a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The gel manicure took a reasonable amount of time but after, the pedicure was terrible. I was put into a massage chair and soaked my feet in ice cold water. I sat for about 40 minutes waiting for someone to do my nails and it was so cold I had to ask for hot water. It wasn't busy in the salon at all, so I was pretty turned off by having to wait over an hour total for someone to come do my pedicure. They kept reassuring me that someone would be with me in 5 minutes but they kept playing that game every 5 minutes. If you have a life and don't want to waste your entire Saturday, then don't come here. I won't be coming back. read more
