I decided to re-rate J Nail . The rudeness is too much! So in reading other experiences with J Nail and I made ditto about the rudeness. For me it was the owner rudeness. And in reading it is the workers too who were rude. The best rating for J Nail was 6-11 years ago. Now the shop has improved its appearance but the attitudes are horrible and the owner is rude! Like I said " Think Again!" . read more

This was, without a doubt, the worst nail salon experience I've ever had. My husband and I came in for a manicure and pedicure, and it was a complete disaster. The woman seated at the front right when you walk in handled my services, and her work was extremely poor. I honestly wanted to walk out in the middle of my pedicure , but my husband said "let's continue and just never come back". She didn't properly file my nails or perform basic manicure steps, and my pedicure was just as bad. My feet were left soaking in water for an extended period with little to no actual service. I even had to ask twice just to have my toenails cut, and she didn't address an ingrown nail at all. My husband's experience was no better. His technician didn't cut his toenails, only filed them and even worse, she cut his skin on both his big toe and around his fingernails during the manicure. There were only two people working, and unfortunately, BOTH did an awful job. This place seriously needs better people if it plans to stay in business. I wouldn't give this salon any stars I ONLY did 1 star because it would not allow me to do none, this was a 0 out of 5 experience. read more

Today on Dec 28th 2025 the two workers who were in today which was a male and a female! I was greeted with disrespect from the start, I was the only customer in there at the time and they were super rude and it was uncalled for because I was nothing but respectful. I asked for a certain style and the man who was doing my nails had an attitude from the start. He huffed the whole process through my nails, he literally did what he wanted on my nails and not what I asked for, I was so nice still got attitude I let him know that if he could not do my nails how I wanted then I can change a couple things. He did not even tell me he couldn't do it he just did whatever he wanted. I've literally been coming to this shop for the longest time and this is my first bad experience. read more

I went to J Nails for the first time after reading the reviews. I always have bad luck finding a good nail salon offering quality work at a decent price. I didn't get my tech's name. But, she was the first one there to open the salon, so I'm assuming she may be management. She was very sweet. The results weren't exactly what I requested, but I'm still happy with them. read more

J Nails - What I got - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

1. The man working on my feet smelled of BO, he kept touching his face then wiped his face with the hot towel before trying to wrap it around my leg. Then grabbed the next towel and wiped it on his pants. Wth. 2. I selected the $60 pedicure and got an weak massage after telling him I wanted regular polish. Not a fan of Gel. 3. I was going to get a manicure until I was told he was going to do it. I will not return!!! This place used to be my go to place. No longer. read more

Let me start by saying that I was recommended to try this place by a coworker whose nails I always love. She told me to go to Joe. And reading the reviews I see Kevin is highly recommended as well. I didn't make an appointment - and I forgot the name of the woman who did my nails. She did a good job - but I will be trying out Kevin's work next. For years now I have had hit and miss luck with asking for coffin shape. And when it is a good job the price is astronomical. If a great shaped coffin is what you want I say give this place a shot. I went at the last minute. On a Saturday. At 5pm. The place was packed out. And every single table and pedi station was occupied. From walk in to walk out I was there for a little 1.5 hrs. I got coffin shaped Ombre nails for a total of $45. I have high hopes that I'll be visiting this place for a long time. read more

I called and made an appointment for for 1 pm and I was 5 minutes early, the lady I made the appointment with was sitting with another lady. Of course I was upset because I made the appointment for a certain time for a reason I asked how long it would take they told me 15 minutes it's now 1:40 and I'm just about to do my pedicure not with the lady I wanted and I won't be getting my nails done because I basically had to wait an hour. This place was recommended but I do not recommend this place it's over priced and Im from New York that's saying a lot and they are all over the place! So it's now 2:22 and I just finished my toes the worst place ever one big toe is round the other is square and they didn't even tell me to dry my feet she brought me right over to pay !!! read more

Went today for my fill and excellent service once again. This time I did a fill and a pedicure and both came out great. Again I was seen right away. Pedicure was relaxing. When I was getting my fill I messed up one of my toes and they fixed it just fine and were still very pleasant and extremely nice and helpful. I will continue to use this place since it is just down the road from where I live. I'm not sure of the names of the ladies who did my pedi and my fill but they both were very nice and did an excellent job! read more

disappointed to say the least is being kind more than I can say for the lady that was there. very unprofessional refused to fix the terrible job lumps on my nails from not smoothing my nail asked why I didn't tell nail tech I did. threw the color pallet at me and told me to give her the color - I couldn't because I had just said baby pink. I tried my best to match the color to the pallet she jerked it out of my hand and said she wasn't going to help me that I needed to leave. I'm sure this was done to the good staff she had there they complained on how mean she was and now I see why! Not one customer in the place besides myself and her extremly rude! I wish I could give 0 stars ! Her prior staff were great but now they are gone and no choice but to use her no thank you I went to the one by I Hop better service and much friendlier individuals - all nail techs have a web page and J nails always has huge over turn of staff! lady your not nice how do you expect to keep customers! read more

I was alway happy with work This place did now I cldnt be more unhappy. The man sitting a giant wall did my fulls and did the worst work. The powder on my nails is so thick and some Nails Don't even have it evenly applied so there's white and it's transparent. Kevin wasn't there to do My fulls so the Lady said I would have to get this other person to do it. His license is covered so I cldnt even see his name. I had a picture I wanted and he was like orange ok with glitter and it's not what I wanted he didn't Listen and didn't knw how to make Nails look nice. I said I wanted the shine on them like Mermaid he puts a clear shiny coat. Not listening again my 3 year old cld have polished my nails and I'd look Like this. The tops isn't evenly filed and they feel rough he didn't even say to Wash my hands at any point, didn't use drill under nails to get any excess dried powder off. The worst I'm so mad at myself for paying $40 For a fill and not even half way decent. read more

Best that my nails and toes have looked since moving here two years ago! I paid quite the penny for my ombré manicure and nude pedicure but it was well worth it. The employees were great and I was assisted immediately. Though this site says appointment-only they also accept walk ins. Highly recommended! I will be returning and bringing friends and family! read more

This nail salon was very clean & simple. I went 9:45am on a Wednesday and was seen immediately no appointment required. The guy (Kevin) asked what I wanted and started like nothing. He was nice but didn't talk much and was very focused on his work. I didn't even have to question if he was focused on me and what I wanted. I got a full set, coffin shape, gel polish, for $45 and am actually very impressed with this place since it is my first time going here. I will definitely be returning to here!! read more

I had the worst experience here. I went to get a fill on Saturday then two days later two nails popped off and I had to pay 10.00 , five dollars a nail. I decided to get them done . I had to return Tuesday with another nail that popped off. The tech told me it would cost 5.00. I told her I refuse to pay for mediocre work . The tech refused to fix the nails without charging me . I have never received such bad service. When a customer is upset , as a business you should try and rectify the situation . I will never return . read more

Awful customer service! I went w/ my daughter and received horrible service: I wanted two pedicures (myself 'adult' and daughter 'kids')_ they told me my price and tried to charge me adult price for my 10yr old daughter that's tall. Kids reg. is $20 and they repeated to me: yes to $20 and they keep talkin in their language and then after 17mins. Two different lady's walked up to us while we gettin feet done... stating: it's $35 for her after two different lady's told me $20 already. So I stopped process of my pedi cause they was very rude and unprofessional! And they not respectful! If I was with my daughter, I would of handled that situation more wrong than I did but I keep my military bearing and gathered us up and left! Long story short: that place sucks and it's not the first time I heard of this happening to folks; other than me! I will not be going back ever again. {this place: rude, unprofessional, and don't know their own services.} read more

I went in for a dip nail removal and to get another dip. I only went here because my normal (AMAZING SALON, EZ Nails) is closed on sundays and I have a busy week. I didn't think nails could be this bad or I'd be the person writing a bad review but here we are. Please don't get dip here. The place was full of flies, spider web hanging from corners, stations and floors were filthy. Even the UV light things you slide your hands in to solidify your nails was full of what felt like cheeto crumbs and smelled about the same when the light came on. She tore up my cuticles with the electric filer and the nails themselves are very lumpy. I left with tons of product still around my nails. I asked for short nails but she wouldn't go any shorter than what's shown--which is still too long for black nails in my opinion. She seemed annoyed that I was paying by card and once she swiped it, she had nothing left to say to me. Save your time, money and nails for EZ nails. Next time I'll just deal with overgrowth to wait to go there instead. So disappointed. read more

Pedicure is mediocre and my manicure looks like a kindergartner attempted to color in between the lines and failed miserably! I knew it was a bad sign when she decided to cut my nails solely using a cuticle cutter! I shouldn't have tipped her 20% but she asked for payment before getting started. As for the atmosphere, there is no a/c so they leave the entrance door open and flies are flying around everywhere. read more

Rudest people in a nail salon I have ever been in... so I showed the nail tech which color I wanted from a picture and I picked one from and he ( Joe) said that's not the right color ... so I said could you help me find the color he said I don't have time to find it ( with an appointment) so wtf did I come to you for!!! You are the " Nail Tech" been doing this for um over 15 years. I couldn't do anything but walk out unfinished! And I have been going to them for at least a year now....never again will I be treated like that again... no one should be treated that way!! read more

I recently moved to San Antonio and I was in need of a pedicure. I searched for local nail shops close by my house and J nails spot seemed to have the best reviews. Unfortunately my experience was far from the best experience and I won't be returning. Chou was extremely rude when I asked her to properly polish my nails. It looked as if a toddler painted my nails and when I requested she fix my polish, she became very rough with me. Very disappointed with the service I received. read more

Use to go to J Nails but this last time I got pushed off to a new guy and he did a horrible job on my dip nails! The color was purple and when he was done it seriously had white flakes showing thru the purple. I complained and the lady did fix it by painting shellac over and gave me $10 off. The thing that annoys me the most is the guy said it was my fault because of the color:-/ he obviously did something wrong and didn't stop and redo it, he was gonna let me walk out with hideous nails that cost $45!! Yeah, never again! Done with this place. If you do go, only ask for Tee, she's the best! read more

Do not come here. I came for a simple mani-pedi. My red toenail polish looks (and feels) like my nails were ripped off. The "cheese grater" was banged up against the trash can after she was done using it on me and placed back in with cart. My manicure was painful. I ask why she was using an instrument to scrape off my nail polish and she said she couldn't get it off. Its fricken clear nail polish that I put on myself, 2 coats of Sally top coat nail polish, 2 coats! After scraping my nails, I asked her to fix the shape of my nails because the I wanted square tip. She used a cuticle cutter to cut my nails into a square. Wtf. I kept telling her I didn't like it, she told me she liked my hair...what? read more

It all depends on who you get and what time you go. The first time I went, 2 of my nails broke a few hours after service. One guy has done my shellac twice and a day later on both occasions, the paint started chipping. A friend of mine got frustrated because her nail artist caused her pain, insulted her, and couldnt even understand what she wanted. I decided to change to dip instead of shellac. I arrived 15 minutes after the opening time but no one opened until 9:10. There was 2 other ladies, one getting a mani and the other a pedi. They sat me down and had my fingers in acetone for an hour....AN HOUR!!! From the time I got there to the time I left, 8 customers had come in, got their services and left. Two of them got both mani and pedi and another two got manis and their eyebrows done! I was there for 2 HOURS!!! And I had my 9 week old with me who started getting cranky because I couldnt feed him. Out of all the times I have gone, this week was the worst. read more

I've gone here about a dozen times and I always ask for Ann. She does a great job and is really friendly and efficient. A few times I have brought my 6 year old, just to get her nails painted (no manicure or anything fancy) and usually Ann does it and it goes well. Once a man did them too and that was all good. Today I came in to get my normal shellac manicure and brought my daughter in to get her nails painted. I asked for Ann, and another lady took her, ignoring my request. I let it go, as I figured it was more efficient for them. The lady who took my daughter then kept asking if I wanted to get her a shellac manicure. I kept repeating that I only wanted pink nail polish with some glitter on top. She seemed very irritated and kept repeating to her co-workers that she was only going to make $7. I noticed she wasn't putting glitter on top and I asked her 3 times to add the glitter and she kept saying "okay" but never put the glitter on. She then left my 6 year old to dry her nails for almost 30 mins without checking on her, and I had to ask Ann to remove her from the nail drying station. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because Ann did a good job, as always. Needless to say, due to the rudeness of the 1 staff member, we will not be returning to this nail salon. read more
