Terrible. RACISM NOT OK I have come here several times Vivian and Sandy are wonderful. I am in the location as a white woman that has two beautiful woman of color come in. Next a white woman states she needs two seats. As I wait and made appointment the owner moves the woman of color to get her nails done. I have seen this owner take several times and question what she does. I don't get it. I'm never going there again. RACISM IS NOT OK. and then the white woman had a opportunity to stop it. I will not come here again- RACISM IS NOT OK . read more

I have been going to JP nails every two weeks for the past couple of years. The shop is the cleanest nail salon I have ever been in. Everyone that works there is friendly and competent. The prices are unbeatable. If you don't like what the tech is doing, SPEAK UP! About gel nails. I get gel nails done because I am hairstylist and my hands get trashed from doing color. Gel is the only way they stay looking good. BUT- if you wash dishes without gloves and get have your hands in water constantly, they will peel!!!!!! You must wear gloves when they are going to be submerged. read more

AWFUL SERVICE. Had an appointment and sat there for 30 minutes, after being lied to 3 times that it would be "10 more minutes". Total waste of time and the staff was rude, and the salon was gross. go to PS NAILS 5 min down the street and don't waste your time here read more

I've gotten gel and mani pedi here and they are consistently great. Pedicures come standard with a hot stone massage and all manicures with a paraffin wax dip--and the wax is CLEAN and smells great. They do gel very well and my corners do not peel or flake off. There is typically a long wait during rush hour at the end of the day but other than that, I've worked with almost every nail technician there and they all do a great job. I frequent this place and I don't have anything bad to say about them. This is the only place I go to for my nails now. read more

Tired of giving this place so many chances. My last manicure was the icing on the cake. They really push for gel manicures (not a fan), and do a terrible job with regular manicures, clearly because they want you to pay for gel. My nails are all bubbly and uneven from clumping on nail polish. Too busy paying attention to what is going on in the salon instead of paying attention to your nails. I literally asked for my tech to give me her nail file so that I could shape my nails (she obliged). Asked for square and ended up with discombobulated round and semi square. Also had to ask her to finish removing old nail polish that she was just going to paint over. AND I am always rushed out of the nail dryer. I cannot deal! Drying for 6 minutes is not enough and the last few times I have gone, one of the ladies will come over and touch my nails to see if I'm dry so they can rush me out. Dooooone. read more

JP Nails & Spa - Hard to tell, but lots of bubbles (especially on thumb) and uneven layers of polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've been coming here for 2+ years now. Every two to three weeks. I always see someone different. Everyone is so nice here and very accommodating. I have only had one or two bad experiences here which weren't even big deals. (I.e. My gel chipping a week in. Or the woman not shaping my nails how I wanted. REALLY not big deals considering all of the good experiences I have had) Their pedicures are amazing. Hot stone always. Their manicures are also great. They always use paraffin wax. I only do gel manicures and pedicures here. I have not tried their waxing. I also love that they never tell you that you should wax your eyebrows or upper lip like most nail salons. And every time I go they either have Phantom Gourmet or Law and Order on so that's just another plus. My only tip is to come in early on Saturday's. That really should be obvious but it apparently is not based on the number of grown women I have seen throw fits when they have to wait 30 minutes for a manicure. read more

Good for gel manicures. However, the last time I went, I asked if they have matching gel and regular polish so that I could do a gel mani and regular pedi. They assured me that they did have matching colors. However, they did not. They kept bringing me colors that were "close" to the color but not exact and were getting seemingly more and more annoyed with me when I said that was not my preference. The woman then started to be a little rough because she was clearly agitated. The other time that I had a poor experience was when getting acrylics. This salon is good for basics I would say. The hot wax dip is the best part and a lovely free service included with any mani. read more

My go to place for nails, they are always really nice and do a great job. Recently got my nails done for my wedding and after almost 2 weeks my gel manicure and pedicure still look perfect. read more

The service was nice and quick, since no one was there. I got a gel manicure, and while I was at first impressed by the time and effort put in, upon closer inspection I was disappointed. On half my nails she didn't go all the way to the edge, and even left old polish there that is still visible. Good for a fast manicure, but probably won't go back. I'd prefer higher quality. read more

JP Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First time here. I went in for a manicure and pedicure, and I received a mini spa treatment. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot stone massage with the pedicure and the paraffin wax treatment with the manicure. I was expecting to pay a great deal extra for both treatments, but to my surprise, the price was not that bad ($35). I'll definitely go back. read more

I visited JP Nails for the first time today to get a pedicure and I was very satisfied! At $25 for a classic pedi, this was a great value. The salon is sanitary and the nail technician was extremely thorough, despite being quite busy at the time. My only complaint was the wait - I called ahead of time and they told me I'd be fine to come in at 4:00, but when I got in, I had to wait for about 25 minutes. Still, I would definitely come back but recommend it to a friend! Just factor in the wait time because it is a tiny and popular salon. read more

Great nail salon in the neighborhood. Best price for the services in the area. Gel mani (plus massage and hot hand wax) with lux pedi (salt scrub with hot rocks) for $55. Easy to walk in or make an appointment, always friendly. read more

This use to be one of the places I would recommend. Until I realized that they don't respect me as a black person patronizing their business. I got my nails done Friday, I spent 75 by Monday one nail broke I come after work. She tells me to come back tomorrow. I refuse and say I will wait. 2 white customers come in and immediately get service not a word about waiting for tomorrow. I'm upset, then furious because 2 more black customers come in shortly afterwards and guess what they say. Come back tomorrow. This is my last trip here. read more

JP Nails is my go to nail salon and I have a feeling a lot of people in Jamaica Plain make this same statement because they can get quite busy on the weekends. But if you have to wait they have lots of great polishes to choose from to pass the time. Prices are equivalent to any nail salon in the Boston area however you get more......paraffin (manicure), hot stone massage (pedicure), and scented lotions (manicure). They also give you a small bottle of Poland Spring water during your treatment. And my polish always lasts at least 5 days without chipping! read more

Having been referred by a friend, I went in with high expectations, and all were exceeded! They worked with me as soon as I walked in, were very patient as I was indecisive on the color I wanted - Kim even let me test a two different ones out. Super nice, friendly, and absolutely excellent job. Highly recommend! read more

Went there the second time, but this time for a mani-pedi. The women are very attentive as soon as you walk in and things are clean. My pedicure and manicure both took almost an hour so the experience was relaxing. However, my feet didn't feel as soft and were dry within the same day (I do have dry skin so it's probably not them altogether!) as I believe the products they use aren't as moisturizing. By being a resident of JP, I am all into natural products so wish their lotions and all didn't use that many chemicals but I guess that's what you get for $35! read more

Had a great experience here! I stopped by with a friend over the holidays. No appointment needed. If I lived in MA, I would be a regular! 1. Showed up around 5pm on a Monday and the place was busy but they made room for us, no appt. needed. 2. Immediately gave me a bottle of water 3. They took their time with nail care and it showed. My no chip mani lasted a full 3 weeks. Also there are tons of good no-chip colors to choose from 4. The paraffin wax dip is included for all manicures. As is a hand massage with scented lotion of your choosing (I think there were 8 options?) 5. They take credit but just ask that you tip in cash :) read more

I'm a runner and as such have disgusting runner's feet so I try and keep things looking pretty with an occasional pedi. I should also mention I am a guy so this has potential for awkwardness; however, JP Nails could care less about gender and they made me feel welcomed and comfortable. I walked in on a Saturday late afternoon and was seated immediately and offered a bottle of water. The woman that worked on me did a great job and I was given the full treatment including hot stone massage and an exfoliating scrub. I have paid way more for way less elsewhere--so you really can't beat $25. Very reasonable! Upon settling up, a gentleman gave me a punch card for future visits. I left with happy pretty toes and yes I picked a color. (Note: I previously and egregiously attributed this review to PS Nails. I have moved it to the correct establishment!) read more

Got pedis with a friend. The place is nice and clean, and they do a good job. I was hoping for them to do a little more work on my callouses, but it seemed like they just gave me a once over with a sanding block and spent most of the time on the nails. Overall a good deal for $25, and we both felt very comfortable and relaxed after. read more

I have been looking forward to a pedicure for months! Today I decided to try this place! I'm thinking, maybe it was just the technician I had but in my 40 something years I've never had such a rushed job on anything. There was zero massage, her long hair was all over my freshly painted toes!! Spoke no English so I couldn't communicate at all. So sad!! Will never return. read more

I went here for the first time today at the recommendation of a friend that I was dog sitting for in the area. It was a fabulous experience. $35 for a mani and pedi (regular polish). The pedi included a hot stone massage and the mani included a wax treatment, no extra cost. The prices weren't posted anywhere inside that I could see, but I think that it was a great deal. They also have loyalty cards and for every 10 visits you get a free manicure or $10 off. They greeted me and had me in a seat within seconds (I know that can vary anywhere based on whether or not they have open seats). I was given a cold bottle of water right after sitting. So nice on such a hot day! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This place is amazing. Very good services with very reasonable prices and everyone is friendly. I like it so much that I opened yelp just to give them this review. I got a great gel manicure and pedicure for almost half the price of the same services at miniluxe and with better service. read more

I've been there twice now. Both times they were so friendly and got me in and out quickly. Kinda wish they did pink and white, which is one of my go-tos because it doesn't show chips or wear from typing and travel, but I've had my regular color on for a week now and it's held up beautifully. Prices are great. They'll take your card but make sure you've got cash for tipping. read more

A week and a half later and my toenail polish from JP nails is still going strong. They did such a good job that a friend asked if I had gels (they're not, just regular polish). The price for polish only was very reasonable ($10) and my nail tech did a great job. Would definitely return. read more

Nothing quite like leaving a salon knowing you're going to have to go to another salon on your way home to pay someone else to fix your nails. I'm mad at myself for even paying for it! Went in for an acrylic refill and the woman trimmed them down waaaay too short (I asked her to stop and she said she had to even it out and went shorter), and didn't use tips to repair two nails that had fallen off before I went in so now they are see through since they were only molded with the acrylic material. I had a beautiful coffin shape and the woman destroyed that too - some are pointed, some are square, none are coffin. I reached a point where I was trying to decide if I should just get up and walk out before she did any more damage but against my better judgement. The paint job was pretty on par with the rest of the technician's work - sloppy and bubbling. Albeit the woman was very friendly and pleasant, I just wish she had listened to a word I had said. read more

Love love love this place. It is clean and organized. My gel manicures always last at least 4 weeks. They would last longer but by then my nails have grown out and need to be trimmed. The price is great for all the great treatments you get!! read more

I would honestly never go here again. The customer service was excellent. The staff was very friendly, I went around Christmas and they gave little gifts. My pedicure was very poorly done and my gel manicure started chipping within two days which is so crazy to me because I can normally leave my gel manicure on with no chipping for almost 3 weeks. Despite the great customer service I feel like I truly waisted my money. read more

I love this nail salon. Love. They always do a great job on hands and toes. I've never done their waxing and only have a plain mani/pedi but in the 100 or so times I've gone over the last 3 years I've never been disapointed. read more

Small, crowded, and frequently overbooked. Good quality nail care, but not the greatest experience overall.

They are soooo friendly! I was indecisive with colors- and they tested a few to see if I liked them. Great prices for the quality! And they dip your hands in hot wax during a regular manicure! read more

This place is awesome. Very clean and hygienic. I went for my routine gel manicure and my boyfriend came along and had his first pedicure. We were both given bottles of water when we sat down and greeted warmly by the nail technicians. My manicurist was meticulous in applying my polish and when I thought we were done she had me follow her to receive a parafin wax on my hands. My hands look and feel awesome. And my bf said he can't wait to go back for another pedi! Will definitely visit again read more

I walked in off the street not sure what to expect and got amazing service. Pedicures are like going to the spa! The woman are nice and do great work! read more

Do not waste your time here. They are rude, inconsiderate and do a poor job on nails. You may gather that I am extremely annoyed as I write this review. Yes, I am seething! I came in to get a gel mani and pedi. They greeted me and asked what service I'd like. I told them and asked how long the wait was. They told me about 30 minutes. An hour later, they sat and attended to 3 customers (who did not have appointments) that I arrived before. I reminded them that I arrived first and was dismissed. They started on my nails and took 2 breaks to attend to other customers, then switched nail technicians altogether. I contemplated leaving, but needed to get my nails done, my regular location was closed and I did not want to risk the wait time at another salon. Poor customer service, immense disregard for customers' time and subpar nail service. read more

I love this place! They treat their customers really well, and you can't beat a manicure with a paraffin dip for $12. The first time I came here, I didn't bring cash for a tip, and they offered to just let me pay next time. I ran to an atm anyway, but I appreciate the trust they have in their customers. read more

I arrived, was asked to sit in a pedicure chair, and sat with my feet in warm water for over 30 minutes before anybody came over to me. Not worth it. read more

Very clean, quick, & super friendly. Pedicures are my favorite because they really take their time on the massage.

I wouldn't even give this one star I am so upset! I decided not to go to ps nails in Jamaica plain and go to Jp nails never will I ever go to Jp nails again in my life my nails are real nails the women asked how would I like my nails and I said square what I got was stiletto nails! She filed my nails so much it was in fixable when I asked her to stop she pulled my hand and proceeded to file more. I asked if there was someone else to do my nails to a male worker and he said "we can't do the style you want what's the matter there real they will grow back!" Not one person said sorry not one person said I will fix it. It was 8pm on a Wednesday and their excuse was they were tired and had to sleep. I said I am so upset no one can fix my nails I'm not leaving till they are fixed! While one women scared at me the entire time the owner yelled at me to leave I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there ever! read more
