Mary and Tina are the reason for two stars instead of one. The man Huey(?) is terrible, he kept messing up my nails then he wouldn't fix them to my liking I had to come in later and have Tina fix them. My acrylics only lasted two weeks before the first one fell off. Don't fall for the acrylic and gel powder, do your research and you'll find that they're he exact same and they're charging you $5 more for nothing. I've learned not to come here. If these people who have had been to different better places they'd see where I'm coming from. Don't come unless you get Mary or Tina. Read Less

Great nail salon! They Always do a great job no matter who u see! Very clean salon with friendly staff. I own a hair salon myself so I am very picky where I get services done. They follow the Mn State Laws when it comes to Safety and Sanitation. Also something to be very aware of. Read Less

Amazing place! I have been going to CJ nails for 2 years now for manicures, pedicures and waxing and I can’t say enough good things! Tina and her staff always make you feel welcome and are by far the cleanest salon I have ever been to. They all have greats of gold! Highly recommend! Alex Scott Read Less

Love this place! Staff is usually very friendly and do a great job. Sometimes hard to understand what they are saying but maybe thats just me. Pedicures are kinda expensive but It is worth it when you need to get em done . Recommend to all the people who need a nail salon. Read Less

I do love it here and come fairly often but little disappointed today. The fact that I've been waiting for over an hour is little ridiculous. Next time would be nice to be asked to come back. I could have gone home and gotten some things taken care of instead of sitting here..... be a little better and honest about wait times. Read Less

This place is by far the best nail salon I've been to. The staff is so amazing and kind. They interact with you a lot and make the experience super enjoyable. We had Troy and V do our pedicures today. They both were outstanding. We will definitely be back. The price is right on par as well. Read Less

Im unhappy about my nails i just got done too short an they kept hurting my nails with the tool thing they use.....so ill take my nails somewhere else like elk river if i have too. I told the guy they are too short an all he said was sorry. Read Less

I'm never going anywhere else! I've tried different salons and no place matches the quality that Cj Nails does. I usually go with different designs and they're never afraid to try(they get them spot on every time😊). The gel polish lasts up to three weeks so for the price, you can't beat it. I took my husband in to get his eyebrows waxed and he even had a great time🤣 Only downfall is that this place can get pretty busy so you may have to wait if you don't make an appointment. Overall, I highly recommend 👌 Read Less

Probably the worst manicure I've received. I've been here a few times before and have had OKAY experiences, but this last one was the final straw. I got there and they weren't busy, but I was rushed through the whole manicure process. They even skipped steps like soaking my nails to soften the cuticles. The nail technician cut my cuticles a few times (whatever, it happens) but then blamed it on my hands being dry...when they didn't soak them first. I then asked them to shorten my nails and they laughed at me and said "really?!". My nails were all different shapes and lengths and when I asked them to please fix them, they sighed and barely filed them again. My gel nail polish chipped within two days. I'll spend the extra gas money to go somewhere else. Read Less

This is the first place I ever got my nails done. And the only place I will ever get my nails done. They do exactly what I want, to the best of their ability, and it turns out amazing every time. My nails always look good and I've never been dissatisfied! 10 times out of 10 I would recommend this place to a friend. Very nice service and people and the place is very clean and organized! Pedicures are relaxing and fun as well! I love this place! Read Less

Went with my sister with our Birthday certificates for Pedicures! We did the upgrade with a leg massage and foot mask! Felt wonderful! But at the end we were disappointed. My sister was done first and the guy didn't ask if she would like flowers painted on hers, he hurried her over to the dryer! My lady asked me! I think we all need to be offered painted designs as added touch! Read Less

I have been here regularly for the last year and a half and have been pretty satisfied with their quality and workmanship. I've been to numerous places but this place is the best so far. And I mean I've been all over the place in MN alone---but other parts of the US as well. They are clean and the staff super friendly. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. Some of the staff may have limited English speaking capabilities---but there's always someone there that can help out in clarifying or translating. So no worries there. Read Less

The employee kept trying to do gel when I told him 5 times I wanted acrylic. He also glued all of the skin on my fingers to my nails. I was also told I couldn't get a glitter accent nail or gems put on unless I got gel nails. To top it off, he tried overcharging my by $7. Awful experience and I will never be going back. Read Less

I am here from San Diego visiting my friend. While she was at work I was looking to get a little pampered. This place set me up. They took me right away when I walked in and even helped me pick a color to match a bridesmaid dress I will be wearing this weekend. Very attentive and friendly staff. The salon is kept clean and I felt comfortable throughout the service. I'm super happy with coming here and would return if I come back to town. Read Less

Went in for a pedicure since my work consists of a lot of walking, she cut my nails short without me telling, or asking me how I wanted them, I only want them to clean soak and massage my feet! She then cut it wrong causing an in grown toe nail and now I'm constantly walking in pain. Read Less

This salon and spa offers a nice range of items not just limited to manicures and pedicures. I was very excited to be offered a MENU for their pedicures when I went in, and treated myself to a hot stone massage and sugar scrub. It's a very clean environment, and the staff are all very friendly and good at holding a conversation if you are a talker. I will be back! Read Less

I drove from Big Lake because this salon had the highest reviews and I am glad I did! Very nice staff,very clean shop, and even though they were packed I only waited 10 minutes. I brought in a photo of the nails I wanted with a few changes and the girl did an amazing job! I'll definitely keep coming back. Read Less

This place is welcoming and very clean! Everyone was so friendly and the environment was very comfortable. I got my pedi done by Tina and she did a great job! I had my nails done by Mary and I love them! I never felt rushed, the ladies took their time and I  felt like my customer satisfaction was a priority. I'll definitely be going back! Read Less

New owners!  This place has gotten so much better!!! Tina and Mary are wonderful!  You much give this place a shot if you haven't been or haven't been recently.  They are all so kind and my nails have never looked better! Read Less

I am a stylist at another salon. I have gone through the state sanitation class that all salons go through. As I am sitting in my pedicure chair right now, it is very obvious that they take very good care of their salon! The facility is well cleaned (after tedious inspection of my pedi foot bath) and they don't talk to you unless you want them to or if they have a question about length or filing preference etc. I enjoy this because I don't really care for small talk when getting services done. For the price, the work was very nicely done. I'm pretty anal about my nails and I am perfectly satisfied! Staff was very friendly too! Read Less

I wish you could give zero stars! My mother and I went to just get a simple color change for our fingers. Upon entering they told us they were too busy and to come back in an hour, which was fine. What was not fine was their professionalism and technique which was non existent and off. For starters the tables they use are filthy. I laid my hands on the counter to start and was mortified when I felt the grit and old remnants of someone else's nails on my hand. I am a HUGE sanitary germaphobe being I work in the medical field and this was UNACCEPTABLE to me. The woman who did my nails denied what I wanted to do and told me I would have to pick a more expensive way to do it if I wanted it done. When I opted to just do a simpler design she seemed a little angry and seemed to not do her job to the best ability. She didn't remove my old polish completely so now I have a black outline around my cuticles where it should be clear. When she was handling my fingers she would just flick my hand away when she wanted the other one. My mother had just cut her finger and had a bandaid on her ring finger nail and the male filing her nails filed her bandaid like he had no care in the world and wasn't paying attention! Overall I am very disappointed and dissatisfied and I will not return and I will not recommend it to any of my friends. Read Less

Was there today I got a fill with new color. My five year old grandaughter had her little nails,done . It was,53.00.. I though that was alot. Cause it's 30.00 for a,full set of nails. Mine cost 26.00. Full set is 30.. Something sounds funny or Was I thinking  wrong Read Less

This salon was recommended to me so I decided to check them out. When I arrived the owner greeted me. I told her, I wanted a pink and white fill to which she replied, I only needed a pink fill. I've never heard of a pink fill, but what the heck. I was directed to the technician that was going to do my nails. He never told me his name or asked me mine. I thought, well, no biggie. I'm here to get my nails done, not to chat. I showed the tech a picture of how I like my nails (long, narrow, straight and slightly curved at the ends). What I got was short, straight on one side, crooked on the other and just plain horrible. I was so upset. The tech wouldn't listen to what I was telling him. Now I need to figure out where else to go, hopefully ASAP so I don't have to look at these too long. I'm so disappointed and will never go back. I will say, the salon was very clean. Read Less
