T & J Nails

Awesome experience! Very clean and people are nice there. Parking for free. $ 12 for regular manicure. They have opi and Essie, very new and have the all set~ I will visit again!

Best Manicure I’ve had in a while. The staff there are very skillful and they made a regular manicure look like a no chip! Will definitely come back next time I’m in town

I was very happy and lucky to find this place after being treated very bad at Passion Nails in Park Ridge. I made an appointment at Passion and they ignored me and instead took walk ins. I desperately needed to get my nails done, so I walked in here. Nail salons are always a hit or miss, but this place really really pleasantly surprised me. The young man at the front was very polite and immediately had me sit down with the nail tech. The nail tech named Mike gave me perfectly shaped stilletto nails. He really took his time getting the shape right. He is clearly very skilled and not only that, he works fast. Perfect mix of speed and accuracy. He added nice rhinestone designs after. Good good place. Just tell them what you want. Pics also help.

Kyra did a great job on my no chip manicure. Nice quiet atmosphere on a Wednesday night. I’ll have to come back for a pedicure!

I found this salon about 6 months ago near the Portillos on Dempster and I have been going here ever since. The owners and staff are all very friendly and greet you when you come in. I’ve also had great pedis and the best no chip manicure that
Has lasted 3 weeks!

This place is fabulous. They are very clean and a very friendly staff. Perfect for pedicures. Standard 25.00 pedi and they have a Deluxe pedi option for 35.00. They offer a reflexology package as well. Standard reflexology without a pedi is 20.00 for 20 min. With pedi, they mark 2.00 off total price so 25+20=45−2=43.00. They give you a wet scrub leg/​foot rub after cutting the cuticles and the standard dry lotion leg/​foot rub right before the paint job. Most places only do the latter now a days. They don’t skimp on the time they massage your feet/​legs. They really take their time to make you feel pampered!
I’ve also gotten a fill for my gel nails before and they were great. Standard pricing and long lasting.(pedis usually good for over a month Max!)
Not much of a color selection but I usually bring my own or find one out of the limited options. Don’t be put off by the overwhelming Pepto-​Bismol décor or how small it is-​they really do a great job!

This isn’t my favorite place to go to, but it is the closest… They do a decent job most of the time but you really have to make sure that they are doing their job… meaning I had to remind him to use a topcoat, remind him that I wanted little diamonds put on… Just little things like that nothing to be overly concerned about. The only thing that makes the rating the lower is there always trying to upsell, I understand people like to make money and you have to sell to make money but it gets a little overwhelming at Times and you keep just having to say no, no, no, no… Prices are about comparable to everywhere else, decently clean.

Great pedicure. In town for the weekend. Walked right in without an appointment. Very thorough and not rushed which sometimes happens when a guy goes for a pedicure. Highly recommend this place

My husband and I were visiting the area and stopped in to see if they had time for 2 quick pedicures. They welcomed us warmly and got us right in to get our pedicures. Both our technicians were very thorough and friendly! Great value $ 25 each! The one thing that would be nice is if the chairs weren’t so close together. Other than that tiny detail, this place was exactly what we were looking for! Nice, quick, and bang for our buck!

I always love coming here to get my nails done! My favorite is getting the pedicures and the manicures. During the pedicure you get to sit on a massage chair, while they use sugar foot scrub, hot towels, and give a foot massage :) There is never any issues with parking and they are open late, which is a huge plus. Everyone who has worked on my nails has done a great job and my nails look good for at least a week or more. They have many colors of the good brands like OPI. I highly recommend this place!

Love this place. Mike and Karen are always professional and good attitude. Some technicians don’t speak English well but they do good job. Prices are slightly up comparing to neighborhood salons.

I desperately needed a fill in so I called this morning and was surprised to hear they were open til 5pm — on a SUNDAY :)
I was greeted at the door by a very nice gentleman (probably b. c I parked in their designated spot for their customers) — opened the door and was super nice. Asked me to pick my color and I sat down and he started pretty quickly. I was asked the length I wanted and if the edges should be square or oval. Only negative was that he knicked my finger w. that drill when he was smoothing my nail but no biggie.
He was fairly quick w. applying the gel and he did a pretty good job. I chose their new OPI Infinite Shine 2 color Grapely Admired. They have a pretty good selection of colors also. A gel fill in and this polish was total $ 31 — a little steep for a fill in but eh whatevs.
I watched the pedicure girls and they seem to be very thorough and give LONG massages so I will be back to try that out :)

I absolutely love this place! It is open late on week nights so I am able to come after work and they have great prices. Mike and Karen are the best. I always request Karen. She remembers me time after time and even recognizes my voice when I call. The experience is so calm and relaxing and they do a fabulous job. They are always getting new products and colors keeping up with the ever changing beauty lines. I would recommend this place to anyone!

They have such a cute and clean store! I’m always looking for that in a nail salon because cleanliness is so important. Anyways, I got a mani pedi and the staff were so sweet and so helpful. I absolutely love it there!

Had a no chip and pedicure & nail repair. 3 days later the repair failed. I went back to have the repair fixed and the female owner piled on glue and powder and left a uneven lump. It held but looked awful. 2 weeks later I went back to have another pedicure which was awesome and another no chip. It wasn’t very busy that Wednesday so I felt they’d do a good job. Well as customers started coming in it was my turn for the no chip. The female owner of the establishment rushed through my no chip and repair. It was thick and lumpy. I went back 3 days later to have her redo the repair that failed again. Then I showed her how lumpy my no chip was. She said if I wanted her to redo it I would have to pay again. I obviously refused because I had just paid 3 days b4. She became rude and began telling me she didn’t need my business and with 12 years experience she didn’t need me telling her how to do her job. I mentioned that I liked the way her husband did the no chip and she said well he’s too busy. She went on and on while customers were in the store.
Anyway my advice is avoid this place and go to a nail salon that will do a good job while working on you whether they are busy or not. This place is more interested in the quantity of clients walking in the door than the quality of work they do. If I could rate the quality as no stars I would because I wasted my money here

I found this place on Unilocal last month and even though there were just a couple reviews I decided to try it out. The moment I came through the door I instantly knew this place was a good place. I was immediately welcomed by the staff. It’s a laid back place but professional and they do a great job. Manicure was 12 dollars and I’ve already been back for my second manicure and will go back again this weekend.

I went to T&J nail salon today by reading Unilocal reviews. I was little nervous and called around at 11 on Sunday to check what time they will open. Karen told me to come now. I went there and they weren’t open until noon but she did my manicure before store open time. She did a fabulous job. Around 11:45 couple of other staff member came and they’ll get right away into cleaning. I was impressed because staff was there before store open time to get started. Also they weren’t talking to each other as other rude nail salons in their own language. They were paying attention to the customers. I was impressed. I will definitely go there every week.

Very very nice people here, very concerned with the customer. My nails look great and the place was clean and the price is right.

Came here on a whim for a mani/​pedi. The place was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon (definitely a good sign) but I didn’t have to wait very long. The owners are extremely friendly and efficient. Everyone who walked in was greeted with «Hi, hiw i can I help you?» instead of the usual «pick a color». The experience was very relaxing. Minimal conversation between the technicians so I never felt like they were being distracted (or talking about me). The salon was also very clean. They had liners for the foot spa, UV sterilized equipments, gloves and masks. Great color selection, even had this season’s OPI. I am very happy with my spa pedicure ($ 25) and no chip manicure ($ 35). My skin feels like a baby’s bottom! Nice message chairs (there are 5 in the salon) and a big screen TV, bonus.

Just changed owners 10 days ago. The new owners are a sweet Chinese couple who still don’t speak much English. Luckily I took Mandarin in high school and got some good practice in. Karen the owner/​wife did a great job on my manicure. She told me if it chipped or had any problems to just come back and she would fix it for me. The normal manicure is $ 12 and the shellac one is $ 35. If you feel like supporting small local businesses go check them out!
Update: gels lasted 4 weeks finally had to change them due to growth of nails!
