J V Nail Spa

"I came to this salon for a gel mani & pedi bc they didn't seem busy & i didnt have time to go to my normal spot in Charlotte. Now I understand why they were not busy on a Friday evening at 5. The older lady thay helped me had a bad attitude. She used the drill to get my old gel polish off and it was painful on my hands and toes. She continued to hit my cuticles. When I told her it was painful she told me I was too sensitive. I said normally they soak it to let it get soft. She told me I should have gone to where I normally go. I'll definitely take her advice & will NEVER go to JV Nail ever again. She stopped in the middle of my service 2 times to wax someone. Their polish is old & clumpy. The gel on both my hands & toes is not smooth. Also they don't have as many color choices as most salons. This place is old & dark. Definitely not an upscale salon. I would not recommend."

"Completely disappointed. Came in with my daughter . She wanted French tips and I wanted a design . The one lady took her back , the other lady started helping meshe asked me what I was wanting so I showed her. She stated she was unable to do it so I told her I would look for something else . Next thing I know she starts on someone else . I sat there for 45 minutes after my daughter was done they offered to start on me. Head I known they were gonna make me wait we would have gone else where that could do us at the same time. Completely unprofessional to start helping one person and then just go help someone else. On top of that my daughter asked for a French tip what she got was a mostly white nail. I have never seen a tip almost cover the whole name .We will not be returning and I will would not recommend to anyone else. You get what you pay for go to east your time here !!"

"Beware of shady business practices here. My acrylic set cost me $100! In the images, it doesn't appear to be a bad set, but a simple PATTERNLESS multi color set for $100? Outrageous. Prices were not clear. Sign on the building is outdated for where prices start. When asking about using multiple colors, I was only told "it would cost more" but not how much exactly. I was also scammed into believing there was a more durable method that would prevent my nails from coming off as easily at work, since I work with my hands a lot. So somehow we got from $35 starting to $100. About a week or two into having the set, one of them splits in half. And then the paint color begins to deteriorate, leaving splotches all over my nails where the color is disappearing. Along with a few more popping off before I gave up and took them off myself. No where near worth the price I paid. And get this: I did some research and there is NO such thing as "more durable" acrylic for working. Go figure! Never coming back."

"I read all the bad reviews before coming here but I really wanted to give this place a shot, especially since pedicures are only $25. But, I really won’t be coming back. The few employees they have were friendly but they were busy running off to do something else every few minutes. The lady paused my moms pedicure to go wax a girls eyebrows that had just walked in. My toes were barely filed and my cuticles weren’t even cut. Plus it looks like a child polished them. Just really unhappy because these are my “birthday nails”. I’ll continue going elsewhere."

"I don’t like to write bad reviews. I usually just don’t write a review if it’s not good, but how does that help people? I have gotten a few pedicures from here and they’ve been decent, but I got a manicure for the first time at this location and…it was not enjoyable. I don’t get manicures done often, but have never had someone intentionally nip my cuticles over and over again when using the drill. My fingers are now extremely sore and painful because she nicked my skin over and over again, and even caused a bleed on my pinky cuticle. She also insinuated that the nails weren’t turning out well because I was moving too much, when I was reallllly trying to not move whatsoever. Unfortunately I will not be returning to JV Nails, even with the staff being pretty nice ladies. The accompanying pictures show the redness around my fingers, especially the straight line that dug my skin out from the drill on my left index finger (circled in blue)."
