Tj Nails

I went to TJ Nails before Christmas and took in 3 different designs that I wanted done on 6 nails. Nina was my tech and did an incredible job. I was charged $ 28 and gave her a $ 7 tip. I would’ve given 5 stars had I been on here at that time. Fast forward to January; my cousin went with me as a birthday present to get our nails done for Mardi Gras. I asked for Nina, brought in 2 designs for cousin and 3 designs for me. Nina said I could only choose 2 designs and someone else would do my cousins 2 designs. Nina started on my nails and a customer with an appointment came in (I didn’t know they made appointments). I said I would wait but another tech came to finish my nails. In the meantime all the techs were gibber-​jabbing very loudly in Vietnamese — making me wonder if they were talking about me. We were charged $ 69; when I asked why so much they acted like they didn’t understand what I was asking. Less than a week later, the color faded from purple to yellow and the polish came off; this was done also in shellac — my Christmas polishing lasted over 3 weeks. No, I didn’t go back so they could see it, but I will NOT go back EVER again.

I’ve been here twice and only because I was on this side of town visiting my boyfriend. The first time I went was about 2 weeks ago and the service was pretty quick and loved how my nails came out. I showed the lady the picture on how I wanted my nails and she did a good job. Today was the second time I went and I had to wait about 10 minutes only because they were a bit busy. Another lady did my nails this time and she was really nice but when she was filing down my nails it stung a bit but over all she did a really good job with my refill. If I’m in the area which I usually am I will come back to get my pedicure and nails done. If you are in the Baytown area this place is not bad and their service is fair.

bad, bad, bad. This place gave me an toenail infection. I have to ask for new emory boards and sterilized utensils, but I guess that still wasn’t good enough. =/

I don’t plan to return here anytime soon – that includes the other CJ Nail salons in the area that are owned by the same person.
This place has become far too comfortable with my money. What I mean is that service hasn’t been as timely and results haven’t been as great as when I was a new customer that they were trying to show loyalty to, in an effort to obtain my business. All to often, nail salons, dry cleaners, and car washes fail to realize that there are several other places that can appreciate loyalty.
More specifically, on my most recent visit: After completing my nails, the same technician dropped me off to soak in a pedicure bath while she completed someone else’s pedicure. That someone else entered after me, left before me, and was tended too while I watched my original technician service her. When it was clear that I wasn’t accepting of such treatment, the technician had the never to ask: «are you mad?» Hmmmmmm… I bet she can answer her own question when I opted to not get a pedicure, didn’t give a tip, and won’t be returning for bad treatment.
It seem that walk-​ins are welcome, just not respected.
