Java Nails is AMAZING. Their nail shaping is perfection, their painting is so smooth and even, and they can replicate any design I show them with absolute precision. My nails always come out better than expected. I've come in as both a walk-in and with appointments, and the service has been exceptional every single time. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Let me begin with Amy and James just took over this business earlier this year. I have been a client of Amy's for about 2 years. She has never failed me nor deterred from providing me with excellent service. I drive 40mins to see her every 2 weeks and she is well worth it. I highly recommend her service and her salon. Please disregard the old reviews and give them a chance to win your service, you won't be disappointed. read more

Its been 3 years since I have been here to Java Nail and Spa. Per the latest reviews things seem like there went for the better. I decided to go and give it a whirl and see how things are and I must say I am glad I did. Not sure why some are not getting the best treatment but I can say I sure did. I went in for a gel manicure on a Tuesday afternoon and I truly enjoyed my experience once again. My nail tech was Marieta and she couldn't have been better. She did a great job trimming, filing and polishing my nails. I would highly recommend Java. Sometimes you just have to go for yourself and see how wonderful the services are at Java. High recommend! read more

Did not listen to instructions about my eyebrows which are very full. I asked for a slight arch and she literally waxed into my entire eyebrow... making them thin and round. Maybe try not having customers lay on a rug for waxing services... it would be much better outcomes. read more

This used to be my go-to spot for a solid pedicure, however, since the "new management" took over, I won't be back. I got a horrible pedicure! I could've done better myself. In hindsight, I wish I had let them know what a disappointment it was. Annoyed I have to find a new quick spot to freshen up my toes! read more

just left in tears. I asked for my nails to be trimmed and round and the woman cut my nails down to my finger tips and made them square- one nail is shorter than my finger tip. I said that is way too short and she just shrugged. She also pushed my cuticles back dry- it was a horrible experience and her not even caring that she didn't do what was asked- nor did the other woman who worked next to her. She was looking for me to tip her- my service should have been free! Gave them a chance because they said under new management so I discounted the reviews and the price was fair. read more

Prices are competitive over all place is fairly clear . However if you are looking to be pampered this is not the place . Bare minimum

I was nervous because of the poor reviews but I just happened to be in this town and wanted a pedicure. It was really clean and neat and everyone was nice. There was one small dog but he didn't bother anyone and was just curled up sleeping. As for the prices they are listed very clearly for people to see and it says if you get a polish that lasts longer it's marked as $3 more. I would go back again if I were here. read more

Never again. Tech was rough and unapologetic about it. Left without even getting the pedicure I was there for because she scraped my cuticle with the nail buffer, causing me to start bleeding. That was the final straw. Management did not seem to care when I informed her. read more

The owner of this salon treats her employees poorly. My services were fine. I would never return here based on the way the owner treats her staff. She was screaming at them because the nail polishes were not in order. She brings her dogs to work, which I love. However, the treatment of her dogs compared to her staff is by far superior. Such a shame because the establishment is clean and beautiful. I refuse to support a business that treat their staff so poorly. read more

I had a gel manicure. 4 days later my nails started to chip. I was charged an extra $17.00 to have my dip gel polish removed. Also was told total charge is $87.00 but when I was given my cc receipt to sign, it was $103. When asked why, was told for taxes. $16.00 for tax??? No happy with this salon. read more

I used to go to this salon in 2016, and I moved away. I love the gel pedicure. I'm sad that I couldn't get the hot stone massage, but overall this will be my place to get my feet done moving forward. read more

Hi great nail salon. I just started using them. Very clean place and peaceful. I use Kevin and he is very good. I would recommend anyone to use their services. Hope to be a long time customer. I just started because my nail lady of two years would make an appointment for me and when I arrive on time I have to wait 45 minutes. I got tired of that foolishness so I found Java Nails (Kevin) and he is great. Give them a try. read more

I wish that I would have read the reviews before I walked through the doors. Asked for a pedi and gel mani. I was told to choose my color and sit in the pedi chair. I asked if there was a matching gel polish for my hands and was told to choose the color out of the book. I chose the color out of the book and asked again if there was matching polish to coordinate the mani/pedi. When it's time to polish, the toes are the color picked from the wall and doesn't match the color from the book. I choose 3 colors from the book to find a matching set with no luck. Note: the woman at the front desk/table instructed me to find the matching color myself. Selfcare Sunday down the drain. Don't waste your time or money. I'm leaving with clear polish on my toes and still in need of a mani. read more

Poor service, dirty utensils and overcharge customers! They advertise that a UV gel is $40 when I went to pay they said it was $75. they always speak English when it comes times to tell you how much it is but then claim they don't understand you when you have a complaint they have two dogs that run around the place read more

Done with Java. Have been a few times hoping they would be as good as my after initial time there which was great but it has been awful. Photos are of my teen daughters nails after six days. All nails are real except the close up of the one that looks wonky. They put a tip on and it's crazy how bad it is. And they broke a nail removing her polish. Disappointing. And I gave them $210 for two mani/pedis. read more

Walked in randomly doing errands and got a great gel manicure. Don't know why reviews are so low! Great service.

Done with Java nails. Went in for a pedicure. Had a young man gave a not so good scrub and leg massage. My most favorite part. I went to sit to dry and my nail rubbed on another. He fixed that. As I'm drying a woman comes over to give me a massage. She asked if I wanted the 10 min. massage which I Declined. She then tapped in the glass tip jar and informed me that's where the tips go for the free massage. She finishes and waits to see how much a put in the jar. So the guy never comes back to put clear polish or the oil they put on your nails when your done. I motion him him and then notice a divot in my pinky toe. So he now fixes that. I was afraid the polish would be on so thick it wouldn't dry. So not worth saving the 5 or 10 bucks to go there. Awful customer service. read more

I came in for a regular manicure, lip and chin wax. I was shocked to find out that the chin wax was $15! Typically I pay $10 - it seemed excessive. Also, no back massage! Came home to find that one of the technicians missed a spot on my lip and my manicure was uneven. After tipping, spent over $40 for a job I wasn't happy with. read more

don t waste time or money! Horrible service and bad gel manicure! Rude staff on phone, attitude when asked to remove old polish before trying to put new color on and never cleaned cuticles! Manicures should be enjoyable not at this place!!! read more

I usually don't write reviews on here but I've received subpar service here one time too many. I go here because of convenience but that's over. I have been to this nail salon multiple times. On more than 3 occasions, my nail polish has peeled and chipped within a day while on vacation. The products they use on the nails must be cheap because I have not experienced this at other nail salons. They used an OPI polish but I'm not sure what kind of coat they are using for nails to chip so quickly. Super frustrating to pay for a pedicure and it only last 1 day! Picture attached is 2 days after my pedicure! Awful! read more

I've seen many people wait to have their mani/ pedi's after booking appointments. Today was that day for me. 2 pedicure appointments at 4:30, I was 10 mins late and waited until 5:15. Ended up walking out because the woman whom I made the appointment couldn't 1) manage the establishment and the employees 2) said "sorry" once 3) asked if my services would be free she rapidly shook her head no. 4) took MORE walk-ins and said 15 minutes even though other employees had people with appts walking in. Honestly I pay more than enough for services and hefty tips but this place is NOT worth your business whatsoever. read more

Got a good massage while I was getting a manicure-- but the manicure was only ok. The big issue is that they heavily filed the entire surface of my nails. I'd never seen anyone do that before. When my nails grew out, I saw how bad that was. I think it's a terrible thing to do! My nails ended up thin and now have a big ridge I have to grow out. I'm so frustrated. read more

Stay Away! I am writing this review on behalf of a family member who had a horrible experience at Java Nail and Spa 201 Universal Drive North Haven. 1.Polish started to peel off within 24 hours. 2.When she went back and spoke with the owner they were rude and unconcerned over the shoddy work. Rather than redo the nails they just touched them up with another layer of polish. 3.They put her under the nail dryer and did not tell her how long to stay. No directions. This was a terrible experience and a shoddy manicure that didn't last but two days. She felt ripped off and she was. Stay Away! Poor service! Bad product! read more

Tried this place for a meni/pedi and I have to say, I was very pleased. They were fast but precise. It's a week later and my nails have not peeled at all yet. I enjoyed the foot/leg massage the girl gave me and they have the biggest selection of colors i've seen so far. The meni/pedi combo is $35. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is the fact that I was charged $38 instead of $35. When asked for the reason, the girl informed me that one of the nail polishes I chose is $3 extra. Well, it wasn't made clear to me that it was and nowhere in the signage does it say it's $35 unless you choose a higher-priced polish. I meant to check to see if there is an actual price on the polish selection but I forgot to do so before I left. The point is, even if there is a sign that those particular polishes are $3 extra, it's not a very clear sign and obviously easy to miss. I wonder what makes that color so special that they have to charge $3 extra. I've never seen this practice before. read more

I've never been to a more overpriced nail salon that wasn't even worth it one bit. I payed $55 for a plain color gel refill. I've never been to a place that charges like that for no design even. I asked how much a full set was compared to the price of a fill and they said $85. I will never be returning my nails are not even properly painted around the edges at all. read more

Worst experience ever!!! I went in for a gel manicure and ended up leaving with nothing more than bloody fingers. First my cuticles were pushed back dry with no cuticle cream or even a soak in warm water. As painful as that was she then proceeded to cut my cuticles so far back that 5 out of my 10 fingers were bleeding. Nails were severely misshaped and when she attempted to polish she had all over my finger tips, when I said something instead of using polish remover to remove she tried to file it off. I had the polish removed paid and left. Just hoping my fingers don't get infected! read more

I'm a little upset that I haven't been coming here instead of the place in the plaza near Target. This shop is newer, cleaner and they have a large selection of polishes that look like they haven't been thinned to oblivion (even though I still brought my own and she handed it back to me after she was done). It wasn't busy at all on a Sunday afternoon. I got the spa pedicure and the eyebrow wax. She did a great job on the eyebrow wax. The pedicure was enjoyable, but she could have went to town a little more on my heels. Granted, I hadn't had a pedicure in a couple of weeks, but for $30 I want to walk out of there with baby soft feet. All in all, I will definitely be switching over to this spot. read more

I went in to get a Gel Manicure and they were pretty busy. The nail tech did a fairly rushed job (didn't do much cuticle work, very short dry time between coats) and I was nervous walking out about how long it would last. The manicure started separating from my nail around cuticle after about 2 days and I had a full rip/chip after 5 days on my thumb. I went in to have it taken off because it looked worse to keep it on than leave it and they tried to charge me the full 10$ for a take-off even after I explained it was their fault I was having it taken off. I asked them if they were seriously going to charge me and said I thought it was fairly poor customer service - they cut it down to 5$. Still pretty annoyed that they had the audacity to charge me at all. This has been my normal nail salon and I've had really great experiences but also the rushed work is not that uncommon either. What really threw me off was the charging me for the take off for their messed up work. read more
