I had such a wonderful experience! The place was clean and my tech and owner Bryan is great. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. Her service for a full set with design is top-notch. He gave me a nice hand finger massage at the end. Bryan was lovely to chat with and speaks very good English! Every client that walked in for their appointment he address them by name (even ones he wasn't the tech for that day). I will definitely be going back as I felt welcomed, it was clean, great customer service and attention to details with the nails! read more

I had a pedicure with polish. I chose a cats eye finish I thought was neat looking. I was happy with the Service and the young man who did it (I'm horrible with remembering names). Later, I was complimented on the color and finish by my hairstylist. She is familiar with the process to achieve the cat's eye finish and was very impressed by how nice it looked. Now, I am even more impressed! I loved the entire pedicure!! Scheduling my next appointment today! read more

Went with my mom and had a very nice experience. Quiet, smells good and not strong chemical smells, got a pedicure for a great price and got all my calluses smoothed out!! New owners are wonderful - don't take the 1 star reviews seriously because Ja-Mi knows what's going on! read more

I love coming here for manicures and pedicures. I've been to other salons in the Brainerd & Baxter area, Ja Mi stands out for their superb service and great work! I haven't been able to get my nails done due to jobs for almost a decade, so I've been coming religiously the last few weeks. Everyone is so friendly, Brian (I believe his name is Brian at least) is a fabulous artist and remembers his guests by name. read more

I first booked an appointment here because my mom has been a loyal customer for a couple months now, I asked specifically for a gel manicure ( thats what we asked for when making the appointment ) i explained to my nail tech that i've had very bad experiences with acrylic nails and explained that it practically ruined my nails. I thought the tech took this into consideration, but when we started he continued to apply acrylic after everything i told him. I was unsure what he was actually using and decided to trust the process. The nails turned out amazing I wont lie, but he completely disregarded my past experiences for the extra money. I later on booked an appointment to have them removed so I didn't further damage my nails, I arrived on time but the place was packed and only 4 techs were working. They rescheduled a couple people due to overbooking, once I got sat I was told that they couldn't take off my nails because he didn't want to switch between clients, I explained that i cannot work with the nails and would not mind if he went back and forth between clients. He was very rude and condescending towards me and decided to just file them down to basically nothing. I was then told to come back on a day they were not open to get them removed and to remind the tech that I was coming in that day. I ultimately did not schedule the appointment due to his attitude towards me and the disregard towards my opinions and past experiences read more

Heather rocks as a nail tech! The salon was clean, relaxing, boutique size, and quiet... Just what you want in a nail salon! The best part of it - they honored my appointment on time. This is my new favorite place!! Go check this place out (or revisit) and Heather is the best! read more

Mean. Just mean. The guy literally would not take my nails off when clearly i had a horrible reaction. He didn't have me wash my hands and he didn't clean anything between the client he just had and me ... I had to go to a separate place to have them taken off , then the hospital for skin treatment. No, i have never had a reaction to getting my nails done. I only have this pic , from after they were off, but my skin had red bumps and was all nasty . not only would he not take them off for me , he YELLED at me when i asked for my money back . literally yelling in my face .made me cry. Just mean. the nails were bad/ugly anyways too...and 70 dollars for just a black french tip... read more

If you're looking for a great pedicure for a great price, this is the place to go! If you want your technician to talk a lot, this is not for you, I guess. I love that they concentrate on my pedi and not becoming my new best friend. They are meticulous, they give an excellent massage, they are kind, gentle but do a great job getting rid of calluses, and my nails looked so awesome when they were done! Highly recommend!! read more

Not sure why the reviews are so negative, my gel pedicure looks great! Took their time and gave a fantastic foot massage!

I have been going to Angel for the past year to get a pedicure. She is AMAZING! She has magic hands!! Best foot and leg massages ever! I highly recommend her! read more

I had my nails done there two days ago, there's bubbles on five of them, a couple of my nails she didn't get the paint all the way to the edge on both coats, so there's lumps, two of them have already cracked, and the edges were really rough when I got out of the salon. I don't think she did a very good job. a couple of times I had to ask her to fix bubbles and make sure that the Polish got all the way out to the edges and it's still the worst nail job I've had in a long time. It looks good from a distance but pretty bad close up I won't be going back. I generally get my nails done about every 4 weeks, and the gel polish is usually bulletproof, the stuff is crap. Also, I made an appointment, was there exactly on time, and they just taken two other girls for pedicures, so I had to sit and soak my feet for over half an hour before they got to me. read more

The guy doing my nails did a horrible job. Two weeks after the nails are falling off. Before he would give me a price (none were posted) he asked if it would cash or check. I said charge card and he made a face and grossly over charged me for the service. I asked for change for a ten for a tip and he refused so I ended up giving him the ten. (My bad). Don't go here they are rude and unsocial. read more

First thing is I'm very picky about my nails. So I'm from out of state so I had no idea of what a good place is around here but this was the only place in my vicinity so I went despite the reviews. My experience was ok, not great and not horrible. I called when they opened and couldn't get an appointment until 4pm. My shape and thickness is beautiful but i have to deduct because it was the most exspensive gel full set I've ever gotten (51 bucks what a weird number) and he cut me quite a few times I was visibly bleeding and heard no apology or attempt to to take more care when filing read more

I thought this place was just "okay". Workers didn't seem to want to be there, owner never spoke or smiled the entire time he was doing my pedicure. My heels are still rough, but the leg massage and hot towels were nice. No one offered water and it was VERY hot in the salon, perhaps the AC was broken, though no one mentioned it. The $25 for spa pedicure was fine, but if there was another place nearby I would give it a try next time. read more

My nail tech asked me to pay before he painted my nails? Also he did far too many coats of paint and my nails smudged immediately after I left. I was incredibly displeased. read more

Unfriendly, dirty, totally brutalized my cuticles. When I questioned why the color was weak on the edges (my nail was showing through) she said my nails were so wide that she had to file extra to make them look smaller. No nail salon has ever said that to me. Horrible salon. read more

Made an appointment and when we showed up it was never relayed to us how long the wait would be. There were only two working and one finished and left the room. After 20 minutes of waiting we walked out. read more

We saw the ratings and decided to go anyway because we had a hard time finding anywhere else when we were in town. My nails look fine, but the process was just ok. Rushed through it, wasn't consistent as far as process (e.g. Some of us got hand or leg massage, while the other two didn't). Not sure I'd go back. read more

Terrible, but there is just no better option in the area. Hard to believe I am a repeat customers given the rude workers, long waits, and sub-par work. read more

I scheduled an appt. for 12:30 p.m. When I arrived, the waiting room was full and they were running an hour behind schedule. There were at least 7 techs working however they never got back on schedule. The waiting room continued to pile up. Finally, they took the 2 women ahead of me although one was still waiting in the pedicure chair when I saw her 45 minutes later. I walked out after waiting for 1.5 hours. Next time, I'll pay a little more money and go to a spa/salon that honors appointment times. read more

I have not had the best experiences here. For awhile it was one of the only nail places in town so you didnt have any choices. I feel the lack of customer service may be due to that....The last time I used their services I was getting a pedicure and got french tip on my toes. I slipped a little bit when getting up from the chair and caught my wet polish on something so my big toe had to be redone. I apologized multiple times because she looked obviously upset with me....she told me that I would have to wait until she finished with the next pedicure because it was my fault....needless to say I wasnt happy and have not been back since. read more

Never coming back!! I've had my nails done thousands of times at other places and never have I been charged $10 to remove shellac nail polish. This is insane!!! Complete rip off !!!!! $218 for mani/pedi for 3 people! read more

My friend and I were here for a girls' weekend. We walked in for pedicures and got right in. We were treated to great pedicures. Would highly recommend. read more

I would not recommend this place. The only reason me and my friend went here was because all the other shops had 2-3 hour wait. So we decided to go here. Once arriving is was so hot and muggy in the place it was hard to breathe, then the lady said to us in a rude rushed way "what do you want" We told her we would like a fill. The lady then had us pick out colors so we did. Once getting at the station I noticed she didn't use sanitized tools. I was disgusted. As she was doing my nails she was extremely rough. Made me and my friend bleed and have open skin on our hands. We repeatedly pulled our hands back because it hurt but she never stopped being so rough. She never spoke to us she was very impersonal. I also noticed when the other staff was done doing a pedicure the lady cleaned the chair and the foot tub with the customers warm rag. That is disgusting. They need to use sanitized rags and cleaning products. What a disgrace. Now that both of our nails are done we were way over priced and I complained and the lady said was you pay or I call police. I never refused to pay. I will never return or recommend this place to anyone absolutely ridiculous read more

Would have given this a zero star rating but it wasn't an option. I called ahead for my appointment, they way over booked their appointments. Got gel on fingers and toes. I am now back the next day because the gel is already peeling off my toes. I have come here for many years and will NEVER be back. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Rude employees (specifically older man with tattoo on his arm) and very long wait even with an appointment. Painful acrylic nails that broke after less than a week. Will not be returning. read more

Do NOT go to this salon for gel nails!!!! I had a hell fill..... $41.00 which is way too expensive. I made an appointment. The owner..... male..... did my nails and I knew something was wrong when he did not leave gel in hardening machine long enough. He rushed through. And sure enough...... within two days. .......Three of nails had peeled their polish. I have had gel nails over five years and never had that happen. I would not pay five cents to go there again. I live 45 minutes away or I would go and demand my money back. A rip off place!!!!! read more

So, I choose Ja-Mi nails as they had good reviews online. I went in for my wedding nails with my bridesmaids. My bridesmaids had great service. Me on the other hand, I did not. My pedicure was good. I got to my manicure and it went downhill. The guy doing my nails, clipped my nails at the pedicure bed, but put the bowl of water to soak my hand in on my lap, and was looking at things going on at the salon while pushing back my cuticles. He then moved me to a manicure station, told me that my French manicure with glitter idea was not what he would do, and thought it wasn't classy, but didn't offer any other ideas. I probably would have been better off with a female to gush over ideas...I needed a little help with my bridal nails. He wasn't happy putting glitter on my French manicure. He didn't offer to do a design or rhinestones...and I had already told him I was a bride the next day. Then upon payment, I asked if a card was ok. He asked if I could pay by check. I didn't have a check (who does???) or cash and handed my card over. He huffed and puffed over running my card. He lost 50% of my cash tip I was planning on giving him right there. I almost cried afterwards. I just wanted a good nails experience with my maids and it went downhill. They all had a great time...and another bridal party came in afterwards with champagne and seemed to be doing well. Just a disappointing experience for me. read more

Hidden gem if you need a pedicure, relaxing spot and color on your nails. This is a spot that you can walk-in but best to do appointment. Have done pre-wedding, prom and just impromptu nail fun here. read more

I came into this nail salon at about 3:20 PM in the afternoon on a Wednesday, I was told it would be 20 minutes while the person was doing someone's pedicure, then someone else came in to get a pedicure and at this point I was still sitting there in my chair. I was there to have my nails soaked off and just have a manicure. The attendant told the next person who came in that she could do her nails while she had me soak off at this point I had been there already 20 minutes. I complained and she started soaking my nails off while she was doing the pedicure I ended up leaving at 5 PM for a simple soak off and manicure. I also had to ask her to change her gloves while she was attending to me from the previous pedicure, there was only one person there I felt put off. I am not one to complain, but the Unsanitary conditions, lack of washing hands properly before attending to other patrons, I highly do not recommend this place. I would recommend if you have to have your nails done try to wait and go to a larger city. read more

3 of us had a pedicure if thats what you want to call it. They did a terrible job on all 3 of us. One coat of polish on a french pedicure. Chipped the 1st day before I could add another top coat. Hardley scrubbed my feet. I walked out with the same rough heels I went in with. Nice people but low quality work. read more

Great pedicure at a reasonable price. I will come back when in the Brainerd lakes area.

I have to agree about the long waits. This place doesn't seem to be managed very well. We had an appointment and still a wait. There was quite a rush the day we were there, seemed to be mostly walk-ins. I didn't feel the workers were rude and found the treatment/work pretty decent. The price point I feel is perfect - don't remember off the top of my head but it's right where I am willing to pay. I will probably be back. read more

My friend and I went there the day before her wedding. She had called ahead and made an appointment about a week earlier. Her toes were done right away but needed to wait for the one person that does a full set (apparently the other workers there weren't able to do it?!). While she was waiting another girl came in with some problem with her nails and so they put her ahead of my friend. My friend had her meeting with the minister and left after waiting over an hour when she had made an appointment. I was also disgusted when I went to pay for my nails and tried giving the guy a credit card. He told me no, that he only takes cash. No where was cash only posted and all of my other friends were able to pay with cards. I think he saw cash in my wallet (that was meant to pay for my share of the cabin we were renting) and decided he wanted that instead. I had tried asking why other people were able to pay with cards and he just kept saying he didn't take cards. read more
