I was on holiday visiting family in Hamden I read the reviews on Yelp and did a walk in for a pedi , my "dogs" (feet) were barking. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My pedi was done by a gentleman with glasses. He was cool the owner. I believe Coco (Julie's not there) jumped in and finished the pedi she was mad cool. When I left it felt like I had new feet lol. I even brought 2 gift certificates for family. All in all I'd patronize them again when I am in CT . read more

Yoyo did a great job on my dip powder full set. She took her time and made sure throughout the full experience that I was happy with the length, shape, and color. Will definitely return! read more

I heard great things about Julie's but my experience was disappointing. I got a gel manicure, and my nails were cut too short (to the point where it is kind of painful), and the color is not evenly applied. The skin on my cuticle was also accidentally cut. Overall, I did not enjoy my manicure and will not be returning. read more

I have been going to Julie's for a couple of months and they give the best manicure and pedicure I've ever had. The people who work there are friendly and very professional. Julie's has a welcoming and relaxing vibe. I highly recommend them! read more

We enjoy our pedicures at Julie's, my older daughter likes their gel manicures as well. I never go for the upgraded pedi as I feel the time is still the same, but they do a great job on the regular pedi. Everyone is friendly, bathroom clean, about 6-7 pedi stations and likewise on mani stations. They are always well staffed. They use plastic covers in the wash tubs so no cross contamination and a sterilizer for the metal tools that keeps my tootsies safe and healthy. They take great care with older ladies having their feet done, as I've sat next to quite a few, and seen the proce An update to my review 6-2020, during the Covid19 pandemic. This business has gone above and beyond, their is plexiglas everywhere in between pedi stations (it's on wheels though so if you come in together they can roll it away) plexiglas hanging from the ceiling to protect you and the person giving the pedi, tools sanitized, and laundry whirring for the towels, hand sanitizer everywhere. Still the plastic liners in the tubs and plexiglas on every mani station. They require masks and have you wash your hands as soon as you enter before picking out a polish color. Our pedicures were great and felt so amazing after three months of quarantine. read more

We love it here!! We got mother/daughter mani pedis today. Shin was SO terrific! Such a thorough pampering. I feel like I have new feet. And everyone who walked in was welcomed warmly. This is our new go-to spot. Thank you!! read more

Worst service, worst quality ever. The owner just was rude and kept hurting me even though I kept telling her that she was doing so she just kept on. Vibe was no good. I don't even know how they got 4 stars because it's the worst place ever. I would never go back again read more

Everyone at Julie's Nail is so lovely and welcoming, especially the owner. They take their time, and it's very clean. It was my first time here, and even though it's a 40-minute drive, I will return. read more

I love this nail salon. It's clean, they take their time, and do a very good job. The owners know you by name and there is a good selection of colors, powders, and gels. read more

Amazing nail studio! Everyone is always so nice, and the renovations done last year really make the place look beautiful and modern. I've never had a bad experience, and they're very accommodating to whatever design you want. Their prices are also on the lower side compared to other nearby locations. This place is also very clean- plastic linings are changed between each person in the pedicure water tubs, and every tool comes out of a sterile packaging. Highly recommend! read more

Last Friday was my first time trying this nail salon and I loved the service. I went with my friend on a Friday afternoon for a mani/pedi and the wait was only like 15 minutes. The pedicure was SO thorough and relaxing (I almost fell asleep but I was afraid I might fart in my sleep LOL ). It's a week later and my mani and pedi still look really good. The prices weren't bad for the service I received. I will definitely be visiting this place again. read more

They work very fast. Great quality dip nails that they stay on for more than 2 weeks. Have been going back ever since the first service. Mostly walk-in service, making an appointment wouldn't help especially during busy hours. read more

I have been coming to this salon for a little over a year, had Mike a couple of times do my nails, I had Christine and Amy do my facial wax eyebrows lip and chin, and also did my toenails cut and pedicure. everything was good. They know that I like bling in my nail polish and they always try to give me a color with bling in it. Thank you for being there for me a happy customer. read more

I went to Julie's for the for this first time this week to get a gel manicure for the first time. I had never gotten a gel manicure prior to this visit, so my best friend, who's a regular at Julie's, suggested I go here. They had a wonderful staff who consistently checked in to make sure I was pleased with the manicure and color. The woman who did my nails also kept conversation with me the whole time, which kept the experience from getting awkward which usually happens at my normal place. They were also super quick and I got out within 20 minutes! The space itself is very clean and well-cared for. Each of their tools were opened in front of you so you knew they were clean! They also had a huge variety of colors to choose from, which was super important for me. (The gel manicure cost about $34.) read more

Was able to make an appointment for pedis same afternoon for my GF and I. Service was amazing and the people were very friendly.

My friend and I are from New York city (I relocated to Hamden a few years ago) and we went to get our nails done here yesterday. First off, the prices are insane. Both my friend and I got the ad-one foot massage for the pedicure, however we never received it. I wasn't even thinking about it at the time or I would've said something (we paid for it). She did massage the top of my foot and I now have a slight irritation there (never has happened before, it hurts when i walk). My friend came home with a bleeding nail. However, the exfoliants we're great and now my hands and my feet are super soft. My lady took her time polishing my nails and toenails and it turned out really great. The salon itself was very clean and I felt very safe. Because of the prices, the ad on that I never received, and the irritation on the top my foot I do not know if I will be going back. read more

All around great place and great service! You are getting your moneys worth at Julies! I have been to a few of other nail salons in Hamden and have had bad service, unprofessionalism, not satisfied with how my nails came out or over priced. Julies truly does an amazing job every time. Lately I have been getting gel nails and they last for two weeks with no chipping! Highly recommend. read more

Love this place. Went here for the first time this morning and was very pleased. My nail tech spent a lot of time making sure my nails were perfect and kept asking me if I liked them just in case I wanted to change the color or wanted something else. They were all very sweet and seemed to have a lot of regulars coming in. I will definitely go back next time I need my nails done and maybe i'll become a regular too! I also want to mention they have use sterilizing methods that dentists use before using the tools on a new customer. The lady had to take the tools out of a sterilizing wrap before using them! read more

Very rude staff. Rushing you throughout the appointment very little patience. Clean and nice place but the staff ruin the experience.

Best foot massage I've ever gotten. They are so thorough and just generally do an amazing job. This will be my new go-to pedicure spot!

So happy I picked Julie's Nails. They take you right away for appt. It's so clean, and on small side and they foster being quiet it relaxing, I highly recommend this salon read more

I went and got gel nails done as a birthday gift from my daughter and what a mistake. They rushed through my appointment and within less than a week one nail fell off and another was about too. I went and got them fixed and a few days later 2 more on the other hand fell off. Never again will I go back to them. What a waste of money and a birthday gift. read more

Not a big fan of the nail salons in Hamden so this was a welcomed change. Friendly staff and nice and clean. They use disposable liners in the tubs and a fresh set of wrapped tools so that was great they are so concerned about being sanitary. Price was reasonable too. Will be back! read more

Love Julie's nails. It's a clean, welcoming space, and they're always organized and friendly. My nails are consistently done well. Just a very comfortable overall experience. read more

My friend wanted to have a nail day today, and we came to Julie's Nail Studio to do some gel nails. It was very nice to be able to walk in without an appointment, but the manicure who did my nails, Sandy, was very rude. I am not a native English speaker, so I had a hard time sometimes understanding what she was saying. I didn't mean to be offensive, but she would lose her patience and be rude to me, because she had to repeat herself. I've had people being angry at me before (including native speakers) because I couldn't understand them, but I'd expect a better treatment from an actual business place. The nail salon itself was very clean and tidy, but the treatment I received was awful. read more

So impressed with services and friendly staff . Super clean , all hand filing and the best dip set to date !!!! Was amazing to my daughter as well ! read more

I had the BEST pedicure at Julie's today. Highly recommend if you're looking for cleanliness, attention to detail and a relaxing environment. read more

Confused by all the great reviews - got a gel mani and a nail was chipping two days later, followed by two other nails within four days. Maybe I just got an off day, but I've never had a gel manicure chip so fast. Two stars cause i don't really have any complaints about the pedicure. read more

I came here for a mani-pedi on Mother's Day, and despite it being very busy, the employees made every effort to give me the full experience. Aside from the amazing mani-pedi, the massages were amazing. Def going again. read more

I went here with my Mama to get a pedicure and will have to say I have definitely had better. Usually when I get pedicures the ladies really do their jobs and make your feet feel great and pretty. However this was not the case here. I would have scored lower but the ladies in here seemed pretty nice, they just don't know how to do a proper pedicure. I paid $25 bucks plus tip for my pedicure but didn't think it was really even worth half that. I really just soaked my feet in a tub for 2min then had some polished slapped on. Didn't massage or anything. I was pretty disappointed and in the future will take my business elsewhere. However if you are looking for a place to chat with some friendly ladies then this is your place to go. P dot S dot: I suggest going next door to bread and chocolate afterwards for some tasty treats or even lunch. read more

Went on a weekday afternoon. Would suggest making appointment. First visit and I will be back. Calm environment nicely decorated. Mani pedi 37.00. And they take their time and are meticulous. read more

Great at doing nails Mani and pedi at reasonable prices in a clean salon. Don't get your eyebrows waxed here. She took a chunk out of one eyebrow and waxed off my ends! I have yet to find a place in CT that can do my eyebrows and will once again have to grow them out and return to Massachusetts to have my lady fix the colossal mistakes she made. I asked for a simple clean up job but got chopped up in return. Will return possibly for nails nothing else. read more

Clean shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Never pushy and fair prices. I love going there and getting my Zen on!!

I've been going here for about 3 months, have tried numerous nail salons in Hamden and this is the best one. All the others are terrible. They are Very friendly and they do a great job. Good color selection. read more

I LOVE it here! I'm a Quinnipiac student and this is the only place I will go around the New Haven/Hamden area to get my nails done! The pedicures are literally amazing I've never had a better pedi in my entire life they do so many extra things that you'd think you're getting the super deluxe pedicure or something but the price is still on par with other salons. I've only gotten my eyebrows done here once, I wasn't particularly happy with the shape of them when I left, or lack of shape I should say, so if you're planning on getting your eyebrows done, I'd go somewhere else for that. The only reason I didn't give 5/5 is because of the eyebrow thing, but like I said I would never go anywhere else for my nails! read more

I tried this nail salon for the first time after discovering it here on Yelp and seeing all of the great reviews! I must say that it lives up to all of the nice comments. This nail salon is excellent. During my first visit, I got a gel manicure in the color You Don't Know Jacques by OPI, and my nail tech did an amazing job! I noticed that she was very patient and took her time with her work, which is something I really appreciated, so I made sure to tip her well at the end of the appointment. Everything was very clean. My nails looked wonderful when she finished and I loved how they came out. They were shiny, filed perfectly, and well taken care of. This was one of the best gel manicures I have ever had, it looked completely flawless, and it lasted for more than 2 weeks, chip free. It was well worth the $32 cost in my opinion. My only small complaint is that there did not seem to be a huge variety of gel nail colors available to choose from at this salon. However, I'm sure this can always change in the future. Overall, I was very impressed with Julie's and I will definitely be coming back here again for more gel manicures! You won't be disappointed. Great place! read more

A very long wait. Not sure if it's worth it. I think it needs to be consistent with how fast they work.

My boyfriend and I moved to East Rock for the Summer. He actually picked Julie's Nail Studio for me and suggested it might be a nice nail salon and he was spot on! The price for a regular mani/pedi is very good $35 and it is very clean. They do a very thorough job and I look forward to coming back every couple of weeks. If you're in East Rock or Hamden, this is a go-to spot! read more

I've been coming here many times as I am a student nearby and NEVER have I experienced such horrible service and such a sneaky nail technician. When getting gel powder removed, the nail technician asked me if I had gotten my nails done at the studio previously. I replied no and explained how I got them done at home. When paying, I noticed that I was charged $10 more than usual. The nail technician proceeded to tell me that there was $10 POWDER GEL REMOVAL FEE!!!! She had not mentioned this once during getting my nails done and was so sneaky and rather asked me questions about if I had gotten my nails done there in the set before. I will NEVER return here, I have been getting powder gel done for years and have NEVER experienced such a charge in my life!!!!! Very disappointed and would be careful with your money going to Julie's. read more

A little pricey, but the best nail salon I have found in the area. They do an amazing job and the staff are very patient and even tried 5+ nail shades on their own nails so I could choose a color I liked! read more
