J & J Hair and Nails

I’ve been going to Michelle for 2 years now. I absolutely love how she does my hair!

I have major trust issues when it comes to haircuts… As if being picky isn’t enough, I’m also frugal and can’t justify spending $ 50+ for a trim every few months. So glad I found Michelle. She gave me a great haircut today for a super reasonable price. She was busy but still took her time on me. I can’t wait to come back for color!

Last night I got my nails done by Sunny. He is the go-​to man, especially if you want to try something different. He said «show me a picture and I will do it». The style I got is considered «negative space» because not all of the nail is polished. This can be time consuming as it is hard to make straight lines with shellac because the polish tends to move a bit as it sets. However, Sunny did an perfect job and was very patient. He also pays incredible attention to detail, which is pretty refreshing.
I’ve also read some of the reviews that people have posted about Michelle (I believe she is the manager) and I honestly find them hard to believe. She is very, very kind and friendly. Also, she is the bomb at doing hair. I’m one of those people that clinches at the thought of a trim because I want to hold onto every bit of my hair that I can; Michelle did an excellent job keeping my length while giving my hair a nice healthy trim (past visit).
In general, this is the go to place if you’re looking for quality salon services on a budget. I do recommend making an appointment (especially if you’re hoping to come in on the weekends or evenings) considering that this place has really taken off in the last few years.

I got my hair cut from Michelle and I got to say she did a good job. I confused her at first and told her what I meant and she managed to fix my hair. She also washed and styled my hair and considering the price I paid for it all, I was happy. I only took off one star because it seems that a lot of people call to make appointments but they don’t make the effort to actually organize that. I called as well and they only managed to squeeze me in and I’m glad they did.

I just got my hair done there today! I have been to many expensive and upscale hair salons all over the bay and they are just as good. The lady fixed my horrible roots and she added some gorgeous highlights to my hair. I am very satisfied with how my hair came out. I will definitely come back again.

Rude staff! Made me wait for over 20 mins even when they were not busy. Left without getting anything done. They don’t want my business I guess.

Hubby wanted a haircut like a faux hawk. Think of Dean Winchester from Supernatural. My husbands hair is about an inch and a half longer than the picture we showed, the lady said his hair needs to be longer if he wanted it that short… what??? His hair is clearly longer, and she kept telling me it wasn’t. We just walked out. Better just spend the extra $ 20 just for someone with better vision. Won’t be coming here, glad he said no when he did before he had a bad hair do

I’m writing a review about JJ haircut and nails in Fremont. Every time I go there they are packed so they must be doing something right recently I had my nails done by Sunny he is fast and good I really like what he did with my nails. The ladies are very nice. And the place looks very clean

This review is about 10+ years over due. I’ve known Michelle when she was with her sister Tina. I would see her at least once a month and she always took care my hair cut. Over the years I’ve gotten to know her and she is genuinely a good person. She will always greet new and old customers with a smile and do her best to tale care of her customers. If you need a cut, trim, color or anything else related to hair/​nails, give her place a try. She and her staff/​coworkers will take care of you.

Friendly enough staff. Men’s haircut for $ 10. no wait on a saturday afternoon. They had quite a few people getting their nails done. Will have to check it out in the future.

Carol did an amazing job! She took her time, was focused and did exactly what I wanted. Perfect set for a wedding.
First time here and I loved it, great prices as well. Making an appointment helped since it got busy as the time went by.

MICHELLE’s BALAYAGE IS ON POINT. So happy with my hair. It’s been more than a month since I got it done and it’s still BEAUTIFUL. I originally have black hair and she transitioned me to blonde sooo smoothly.

Come here from Palo Alto, I’ve been going here for a few years now. Great prices, fantastic service, and clean. This time I got a hair cut, eyebrows, and a mani pedi.
This could be a pro or con but the ladies here are precise and detailed (which is fantastic imo because they don’t rush to get to the next costumer and focus on you unlike other salons I’ve been to) but because of that you could be here a little longer than expected.
I recommend making an appointment because certain days and times they’re packed.

This place had terrible service. We were there for an hour and 45 mins. It took them forever. We didn’t plan on staying that long. The people were rude and I couldn’t understand them most of the time, because of their masks. Lisa was my lady and she was very rough with my hands. When my friend was trying to point something out to me, Lisa smacked her hand away. Most of my nails are crooked and have hair underneath. Also, she said she didn’t have enough to time to make a design, so on her part the customers don’t come first. Until I had to argue my way into getting a design with my friend. The only good part was the design that another woman had done. I told them exactly what I wanted and they gave me shitty nails that I paid $ 30 for! Never going back here again. It’s also very dirty and it’s very small.

Came back today and got Joanne again! She’s absolutely awesome! I’m traveling on Friday and I’ve been frantically on the phone, and pretty stressed out. Sitting with her relaxed me as I barely felt the need to look at what she was doing. She also makes great conversation rather than speaking to her coworkers in another language the entire time like some of the other ladies though. I always feel bad for being picky so I’ll apologize before asking her to fix something, but she does it so happily and never makes me feel bad about it — not to mention I leave with an amazing French pedicure. I’m excited to see her again when I get back! She’s the best!

Best place you could ever get nice hair cut and color for very cheap price. I have known Michelle and her sister Tina past 10 years and they have done great job so far. Tina have her another solan in Fremont. Michelle is the best to get job done and appointments works best for them.
Crazy but my whole family goes there for hair cut, color, and for mani pedi.
I highly recommend everyone to go to J&J.
You might have to little wait on service but you won’t be disappointed with result!

Been going to Michelle for 3+ years and she does a fantastic job on me, and my children.
Pros: Not only is she great at hair but she keeps her prices so low that it’s nearly unheard of. Pedi’s and waxing are great at this little spot too. She listens, communicates well, and always has a smile.
Cons: You almost always will have to wait 15 mins+ past your appointment time but for the quality and price, you can’t beat it!
If you are looking for a great local place to get your hair done, call Michelle and schedule your appointment now.

I went in today for a pedicure, gel manicure and a haircut and I had a wonderful experience. Everyone there was so friendly :)
I started off with my pedicure, which was relaxing and well done.
Next I got my hair cut by Michelle, and it turned out just how I like it. It was really well done :)
Last I had my manicure. Carol was the one who did my nails and I loveeee them!!! So cute :3 I got fake tips, and used #89 gel polish and they came out beautiful :) she spent a lot of time on them and even added an accent jewel on each ring finger :) I will definitely be back soon!

Started coming here since last year 2014 for my hair n nails! People hair are so kind n beautiful. They treat you like a family. I like sonny, Joan, and carol for nails… Michelle does a good job with hair. Well satisfied!

With a night out in SF approaching, and my usual salon booked, I decided to Unilocal a nearby nail salon. Decided to come here to try it out. Called ahead of time to make an appointment and was told to come right in. Arrived, and stood near the door for five minutes, without being acknowledged. Was finally asked if I had called in and was seated in a station. About 15 – 20 minutes later, a woman comes by and hands me the available Shellac colors. The man nail technician sitting in the station next to me was doing an amazing job, and so I was excited to get my nails done by the woman. I showed her the design I wanted, and she said no problem.
First, she did not file my nails before putting cotton swabs (smaller than my nail) on soaked in acetone. After 10 minutes, she checked my nails and was unable to take the previous Shellac off (of course — since she did not file the top coat off). She continued to file off the nail polish nail by nail, taking about 20 minutes to remove my previous Shellac color.
Once she removed my polish, she filed my nails. Left one thumb nail long and square, another short and round. Once the polish was on, she continued to put dots of different shapes on my accent finger, in rows. The picture I showed her had dots in a moon shape. Two hours later, she states she is finished, with me being left frustrated. I showed the man (nail technician) sitting in the next station the thumb nails and he said to pay half today and come back tomorrow to pay the other half after he fixes my nails.
I was already at the nail salon for over two hours, left with nails I could have done better with an at-​home gel nail kit. No way was I going to spend more time the next day at that same salon just to get my nails fixed. Nails should not take two days to complete, with more than 2 hours.
So I paid in full ($ 23) and left the store. I do NOT recommend this place. There are plenty of nail salons in Fremont, enjoy your nail appointment else where.
