J&C Nails Spa

The quality of work is not great. The people are very nice, the owner makes lots of jokes. But, I paid $ 35 on Friday for a full gel nail set. By the very next day Saturday, five nails were already chipped badly and I even tipped her $ 5 !!!

I went today to get a manicure and pedicure the girl that did my pedicure fantastic. The girl that did my nails terrible. I’m sorry you misunderstood what I said and decided to talk crap the whole entire time you were doing my French set. That I don’t appreciate. I still have to pay you for your services and I even tipped you. Not even 5 hours later my nails are lifting and one cracked! I don’t pamper myself often because I have other priorities with my money but I have engagement photos tomorrow so I decided why not… and my nails look terrible.
Update: I got my nail fixed at a location in SAC today. Better service and the nail they did looks the best. I used to love this salon in Vacaville but after this horrible experience I’m refusing to come back.. That’s unfortunate.

Horrible. I just had to walk out. Asked for a pedicure for me and my two daughters. We were told we’d have to wait a minute and that was just fine for us. Each employee had a customer. I asked to use the ladies room while we waited. Problems:
1) restroom was filthy. It smelled, there was no toilet paper, no paper towels, no soap, and the floors were sticky. Note: the trash can was empty, so it didn’t appear the restroom had ever been stocked. My first sign…
2) The pedicure. He had me sit in a chair and told me to put my feet in the water and he walked away. I situated my daughters and I dipped my feet in. The water was scalding hot! I turned to the lady working on the person beside me and could help but say, «Holy hot hell– that water is scalding!» She just looked at me. The water kept filling the tub and I had to interrupt the lady again since the man was at the counter doing a manicure. The lady begrudgingly came over and saw the water was about to spill over and so she shut it off. She dipped her finger in the water and found it was way too hot, but said nothing. She was wearing the gloves she was wearing to work on the man’s feet beside me and she continued try and scoop water into the drain using the plastic cover in the tub getting her hands in the water periodically. Then she sat back with the other customer and said nothing.
The man hollered, «one more minute!» For the fifth time to which I said, «That’s ok, this is not going to work for us.» He was clearly too busy and was not paying attention. Ten minutes later my feet are still burning from the water. And even if the water was hot, I’m not putting my feet in a tub where someone continuously washed off the feet from another customer. Horrible. I won’t be back. I don’t trust places with filthy restrooms and that don’t understand proper sanitation. I’m putting a call into licensing about this place too. Likely won’t do anything, but at least they’ll get a clue they need a refresher.

Our favorite nail salon! Always clean and updated, friendly staff, and hardly ever a long wait. 10 times better than any other nail salon in town.

If I could score a zero I would. When I walked in my first impression seemed great. Owner was making jokes and only two ahead of me. Like another review I had to wait which was okay but when the manicurist finally is ready for you they usually add hot water for the comfort.
The pedicure portion was good until one of the ladies stopped the other from continuing with the pedicure. At the time I was wondering if the options would be given to me like the others as she proceeded to do the gel on my nails. I kept asking if I would be given the options and the owner says don’t worry about it. I asked how much for what I was getting and he said don’t worry about it.
The lady continues and then as i ask for other options she tells me that the pedicure cost $ 25 then asks after I see the list, would you like to add anything else. They could ha e explained the process except the senior lady was training the girl doing pedicure.
Overall for the cost, I would have e spent more somewhere else. I dont get manicures and after trying again, now I know why I don’t. Definitely not something to brag about.

I’m laughing as I write this review because I’m in awe. THIS was wild. Wish I could give zero stars as I literally got zero service:
My friend and I came in and we were the only two customers in the store for a Mani/​pedi. I let the manicurist know right away we were on a lunch break so it we could only do service if we were both worked on at the same time. He assured me his wife would be out soon, and she was! Cool. Great. On to the Mani…
They began working on our nails promptly. We got up to go wash our hands after they finished filing, yet, when I returned, my manicurist was … GONE!!! Hmm.
So I waited…
And waited…
I thought ‘Hmm maybe she ate something bad for lunch?’…
And waited… 15…20 minutes passed…
Finally I asked the other manicurist (who had at this point almost FINISHED my friend’s gel Mani) — ‘what happened to the lady that was doing my nails???’ To which he mumbled something inaudible. After a few awkward «Huh?s» he explained that she had left and would «be coming back right now.»
So I waited…
And waited… Another 5…10 minutes passed.
She did not return. «So… Will she be coming back NOW or in a couple of minutes?’ — my friend asked on my behalf. «Couple of minutes. She left to go to the school around the corner.»
He offered to do my nails now that he had completed my friend’s, but I was so in shock on how I had been treated, I just wanted to get OUT.
My manicurist LITERALLY LEFT MID SERVICE with NO EXPLANATION!!! This was a first for me, and I’ll leave this rating with a tip to the business:
(1) Please communicate. Don’t just dip out mid-​service with zero explanation. It’s really unprofessional.
(2) Please don’t tell your customer you can do something for them when you KNOW you can’t. Lying to the customer will put a bad taste in their mouths.
(3) Don’t dip out mid-​service. If it’s an emergency, totally fine, just let us know! If you know you have to leave, don’t start the Mani.
Hope this helps!

Called prior to coming in, for two pedicures and was told they had room. Waited 20 minutes in the chair with cold water while they painted my sisters toes, until starting mine. Rushed my foot massage. The total amount of time spent on my pedicure was 13 minutes… Okay job tho.

Love the counter for Manicures…:-) the pedicure chair is also made for a «Women» and not gigantic like most pedi chairs. It was very comfortable even for my 5″ self. :-) Kim was great! Will be back again soon.

I come here for my monthly pedicures and manicures (Shellac) they are fabulous! I’ve tried a few other salons in the area since we’ve moved here and I keep coming back here. Kim is great and I highly recommend the salon!!!

This was my first time at this place, it was very clean but my three stars are because this was the fastest pedicure I ever had, I think the owner (guy) did it for me. In the middle of my pedicure he had to stop a couple times because he had to charge the other customers and of course he was also in a hurry because he had to take care of a costumer that had an appt. Not for me!

I normally go to hello nails but I was in the area so a friend and I decided to check it out. Never again will I go to a random spot. The ladies we had do our pedicures were very rude and hard to understand. We asked them for fire works on our toes and showed them pictures. They told us no. They we completely rude about it. It’s one thing if you don’t no how to do it and explain that you don’t want it to look bad. But to flat out tell a paying customer no?! Are you kidding me. The place looks pretty fancy until u really start looking. Everything was covered in dust and their was a woman walking around barefoot.

I love this nail salon. It’s comfy and has a nice atmosphere. The owner, Van, does my nails and he does a great job and is pretty quick. I usually don’t get my nails done because, in the past, I always find things about them that bother me. I’ve been going here for a few months now and have not had one complaint. I will keep going. Plus it’s in a great location with lots of nearby shopping.

Waxing, she damn near took my whole brow off, burned me, an the place is a dump. The blanket on the table was old and stained, ewwww!!! Best of all she tried to wax my face before she washed her hands, she left a pedi to do me, WRONG!

Over priced! I initially made an appointment for a shellac manicure and regular pedicure. I arrived early to my appointment however, wasn’t seated until 20 minutes AFTER my appointment time. It took an hour for Van to do my manicure. I should have left after waiting for 20 minutes.
I very much dislike being lied to. I specifically asked via telephone if the shop had CND shellac? I was told they did. Low and behold it was gellish! It’s unfortunate, that these establishments focus on one-​time customers rather than focusing on retention. STAY far away from this over priced place. My nails are chipping after 4 days! I’m very gentle with my hands. I’m not a professionally trained manicurist but common sense would dictate that one asses both hands before starting to cut!!! Nothing irks me more than when a technician gets clipper happy before looking at both hands first!
After sitting there for an hour I was irritated and decided to skip the pedicure!
Stay away from this over priced, crappy work done place oh and they do not respect your time!

This is by far the best pedicure I’ve ever had! Great service, good price and beautiful job. I’ll definitely be back!

These guys did a great job on my gel pedicure and manicure, but when I got to the checkout they charged $ 20 extra to put gel polish on my toes! I’m used to paying $ 5 – 10 on top of a regular pedi for gel; twenty bucks is outrageous! I don’t think I’ll be back.

I booked an appointment here for a group of 6 women. I chose this location based on Unilocal reviews, because it had many chairs, and the owner said they could do all our nails at the same time. The day of the appointment, only 4 of us could make it. Good thing too, there were only 3 people doing nails when they finally seated the 4 of us, so one of us was always waiting.
Their selection of regular nail polish is just OK. They have an OK selection of OPI and a few other brands. They have a very good selection of gel polish.
I felt my nail tech was a little aggressive on cutting my cuticles. While I didn’t bleed, I had one spot that did ooze plasma afterwards, and my cuticles hurt when I ate spicy food that night. My nails were a little rough on the tips after filing with a coarse, disposable emery board. The hot stone pedicure massage is appreciated.
My friend’s regular polish manicure had bubbles. They tried to squeeze out a bubble, but ended up denting the polish so they redid the nail. They must have slathered on too much polish too quickly because the finish had warped and was all puckered when we left.
Over the phone they quoted $ 38 for mani pedi; $ 15 extra for gel mani. I got a basic spa pedicure ($ 25) and a gel manicure with design ($ 35). I didn’t see examples of nail designs, but I liked that my manicurist was open to working out the details of the ombré design I wanted, so I can’t cry foul for the extra $ 8 (I’ve paid $ 5 for basic flower designs at other places before).
While I had a lovely manicure, I’m not sure if this will be my first choice location, it’s a little pricey.

We were greeted cheerfully as soon as we walked in. Van, Kim, and Lisa did such an awesome job pampering me and my good friend. The pedi chairs were wonderfully comfy and we love our paint jobs! Music and tv for your pleasure. It smelled and looked so clean and pretty inside the salon. Nice view of the carousel outside. We will def be back!

I’ve been to many nail salons in the area. Topcoat gets a lot of business, but honestly doesn’t measure up to J&C. The place is so firkin clean, it sparkles and the mani-pedi’s are an experience here. You get a nice hot stone foot rub during your pedicure and you don’t even have to get our of your comfortable massage chair for a manicure. The décor is very nice and they have a great selection of OPI nail polish. I don’t know why this place doesn’t get more business. I’ve been here 3 times and its always a fantastic experience. Skip the overcrowded salons in the area and come here instead.

OMG! I’ve been going around Vacaville, on a mission to find the best of the best in the category of Nails Spa’s and WOW!!! This Salon is like none I have ever been to!!!
