Just Nails

Came here for a holiday manicure since it’s located right around the corner from me. I was pretty bummed about my shellac manicure. While only $ 23, I could have done a better job myself. First of all, she made me bleed when cutting my cuticles (which after now reading other reviews, wasn’t a one time thing). The manicure looked so unprofessional at the end, with bits of polish all over my fingertips and lots of I manicured skin around my nails) I asked them to clean them up at the end, and they tried by filing the skin on my fingertips and picking at it with the cuticle tool, but it didn’t look any different and it hurt! He blamed it on my nails being too short, and while I admit they’re not long, I’ve never had this issue at any other nail salon. My manicure looked a week old before I walked out the door. I won’t go back here even though it’s conveniently located to my house.

Ok, I don’t like putting bad reviews on Unilocal as everyone deserves 2^nd chance or they could be having off day. Well, this place difo had few chances with me.
I’ve had my nails done few times & I will never be back again. The reason I returned the other occasions was because it was convenient parking & inexpensive. But I’ve now learned my lesson. The guy that done my nails, doesn’t listen, cut my cuticles & are bleeding, dug his long nails under MY nail bed & cut me again. My nails are very sore & sensitive. With my job I can’t have any open cuts/​wounds. I’m so pissed off with this service. You get what you pay for! I will never return.

I just moved to Woburn a month ago and needed a new salon. While walking down Main Street, I noticed Just Nails and it wasn’t packed so I went in and asked if they had time to do a fill on my acrylics. There were two girls getting pedicures and only two workers buts they said «sure…pick color». I picked my color and they sat me in the chair right away and one of the workers (a man) came over and started on my nails. He was very good and the quality was excellent. I didn’t feel rushed at all and the prices were great. I was very pleased overall, but they should hire more people.
Now, two weeks later I go in to get another fill and my experience was not so great. Again, two workers but when I arrived, it was only me and one other girl so it was fine. She was getting a pedicure with the lady that works there and I was getting my fill with a different gentleman then the first time I went. This guy was not very good at all! He didn’t listen to my requests, my nails were uneven in length, and the color was not covering all of my nail (he missed the edges) and I kept telling him he needed to fix it and he wasn’t listening. Very rude! He hurt me and made my cuticles bleed. Also, as I was getting my nails done, more people started coming in (only two workers) and he kept jumping back and forth between people so I was there for about two hours! If I was there first, shouldn’t he finish with me before he moved on to two to three other people? Well, that wasn’t the case. And I know the reason he started on each of them and kept going back and forth between us, it’s so he basically secured his business/​money because nobody would leave if their nails were in the middle of being done! Deceiving! So the first time with the first guy I went to, he would’ve gotten 5 stars, but the second time with the different guy, he got one star (hence the three star rating)!
Pros: cheap, lots of colors, take walk-​ins
Cons: not enough employees, they don’t listen to what you want, they try and secure business by jumping from one person to another, not focused, sometimes quality isn’t great

I called Just Nails at about 5:00 — 5:15 to see if I could get in for a mani/​pedi. The man that answered said yes, come in at 6:00. I showed up at 5:55 to find the place was closed! The hours on the door said they were supposed to be open until 7:00!
Poor business practices!

I was a little nervous after reading some bad reviews but I’m glad I went. Right down the street, GREAT prices AND they did an EXCELLENT job!

I decided to ignore the reviews negative on this place and go. Glad I did. The guy there is a bit staring at you at first but not anymore He is really nice; and anyone I have had has done great job. Manicures have lasted least week. Just had shalack and it looks awesome. They ask if you want other services but don’t push on you like nail places are Notorious for. They also did revamping all new stations and pedi chairs. This is a good choice.

Never going back to this place. I went in to get my nails done. The man was very rude. He made me feel uncomfortable the whole time I was there. He messed up my nails when he was putting my hand in the uv light box and didn’t fix them. Too bad I paid before hand because he asked for money first otherwise I wouldn’t have paid him. I certainly did not leave him a tip. I also had my eyebrows waxed here once before and was very unhappy with the results. The girl left one brow shorter in length than the other and just very uneven.

Next time I’ll just drop $ 25 in the garbage, by far one of the worst nail salons I’ve ever been to! You get what you paid for.
All that was wrong:
* I made an appointment for gel manicure, I had blue gel manicure prior to my appointment, when they removed the blue gel manicure and cleaned up my nail they didn’t do that great of a job cleaning my nail, as the old blue manicure peaked through my new color.
* The paint job was sloppy, inconsistent and barely covered my nails on the sides, not detail oriented at all.
* My cuticles were but to a point of where my finger was bleeding, and when I said «ouch, please be careful» I got a mumble and a stare. My cuticles are not neat at all
* The filling job was EXTREMELY inconsistent and upsetting to me, the nails on my right hand and on my left hand look 2 weeks apart, one is shorter than the other, and one of them was filled sideways.
Overall, wouldn’t go back even for free. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Okay I have been coming here for a year now and I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I left glamour nails to come here. No wait time, my nails always look great and everyone is so nice. On my way there now.

I went here a couple of days ago and got a shellack french mani. I was there for almost 2 hours as the first try wrinkled under the light and needed to be removed. I had a young girl who was gentle but not very detail oriented. My cuticle were not neat, the white tips not even where they brush them, she did not cover the nail top so i expect them to chip sooner than usual. Some nails were not covered from side to side. At a distance they look fine though. I settled because of the time already vested and knew i would not return, ever! The girl did do a great job shaping my nails. I wish i got a regular manicure with Polish, i may have been happy.

Love this place!
Don and Tea always do a great job. I’ve officially left my usual nail place and have become a regular customer here. I always get a shellac manicure and they have so many more shellac colors and brands than I’ve seen at any other nail places in the area. Also, how can you beat the prices? $ 20 for a shellac manicure? (20% discount right now for their grand opening). Such a deal and they do such a GREAT job! I’ve never felt neglected or rushed, however the last time I was there I only had a small window of time and Tea was able to get my manicure done quickly without sacrificing quality.
Pedicures here are wonderful as well.
The entire set up at Just Nails is nice. It is all BRAND new and very clean. Not even a spec of dust to be found on top of the mirror frame — check it next time you’re there. I did, being the germophobe that I am. Another great bonus, all of the tools they use for your manicure/​pedicure come straight out of a sterilized pack, complete with an indicator. Doesn’t get cleaner than that!
Five stars for great service, a plethora of colors (especially for shellac), always being able to accommodate walk ins, great prices, and parking. Definitely check it out!
