SJ Nails & Spa

I returned to this salon a few days ago to get a shellac manicure.
I had just taken my gel nails off and as a result, my normally «pretty strong but not tough as nails strong» nails were thin, bending, splitting, breaking, all of it.
My remedy is always to do shellac and let the thinned nail grow out and let the stronger nails come in.
So off I went. I arrived around 7, half an hour before closing and was seated almost immediately. I chose Marshmallow again with a gold glittery accent nail.
The woman that did my nails was older than the rest of them, supposedly the owner perhaps? She was very thorough in the prep and I definitely appreciated her careful approach to my nubs.
When it came time for gel application, I admit I wasn’t too happy. She did two to three coats but it still managed to be streaky on some nails. You could see the patches on my nails. The gold was fine, marshmallow not so much.
Seeing as it was late, I didn’t fuss and still paid her for staying a few minutes after closing to finish (I admit, getting dressed in your winter coat while I’m still there was slightly off putting.) I paid $ 28.
I can’t remember how long it’s been but I want to say a week and a half in that three nails have already chipped.
This was a bit of a letdown. Will I return? Most likely because I loved it so much the first time around, but it goes without saying that you should always come earlier and long before close!

Came here as I was in a rush for a pedicure and my usual go-​to is fully booked. Called ahead at 5 to book a 7pm same-​day appointment — no problem.
Price point:
Paint change: $ 10
Pedicure: $ 25
I was being skeptical so I only wanted a paint change. This store is located right beside Subway near the traditional phở store.
Walked in and was surprised to find the store pretty busy. There were 5 staffs, everyone was serving someone. It is messy, dusty, and it is just not pleasant to be here. Lets just say I did not want to take of my jacket as there was no clean space for me to put down my coat, with peace of mind.
I think this place can get your nails done fast and efficient but definitely not a place I would come back unless I need an urgent appointment.

It is a very nice place, the girls who work there are supper friendly. A lot of design you can get for your nails.

This place is amazing. They did an amazing job with my mani pedi. I came for a shellac mani and regular pedi and it was $ 50. It’s been a week and my nails haven’t chipped at all. It was an extra $ 5 to do glitter tips so I went for it. They have a lot of gel colors to choose from. My sister got her nails done for her wedding and it looked amazing.

My go to nail salon! I’ve stayed faithful to this place for years now and I’ve never been disappointed!
All the workers are super friendly and great at what they do. For indecisive people like me, I always just leave my nail designs to them and I’m never disappointed :)
I always get compliments on my nails and I’ll always direct my friends here. High quality work that’s quick and efficient!
I come back once every month and I recommend booking an appointment beforehand because you might have to wait if you’re a walk in!

I’ve been coming here for a little over a year now and I can say I am very happy with their business. I come here mainly for shellac manicures and occasionally eyebrows or upper lip waxing. The ladies here are exceptional at what they do.
