Ajs Nails Spa 1 - Tampa (FL)

1 /5 Kendy Martinez: Went here because a friend said AJ’s Nails was good. Had an appointment scheduled with whoever was available. Show up to my appointment 15 minutes early and I’m told to “Go Away” because everyone is gone. I don’t think I would be going back, hopefully not everyone has the same experience.

5 /5 Danielle Rodriguez: Nice experience at AJs. Vicki the nail tech worked on me. She did exactly like I wanted on my nails and feet. Full transparency with pricing. She was sweet and very attentive. I was a walk-in no appointment and she attended me right away. However it was 9:30am and only a few customers already there. Would come back again.

1 /5 Nakita Straw: They do look down racially on some Black people, and then have the nerve to change up there language and be talking bad about you in your face to another tech in there language, you can tell by the facial expression while doing your nails, especially AJ.. I went there for 1 toenail repair on just 1 foot and A j gon make the nail really skinny which did not match how my big toe which was done wide was.. and just gonna leave and have someone else to polish it, and tell me I owe.

1 /5 Ali Blu: I have been getting my nails done for over 20yrs and even though Ive had other nail salons do not so good work I would say this is one of the worst. I sat down and initially thought that I should go to my regular place but with me moving and my normal place being over 45min away I decided to try and find a salon near me. I took the leap was driving by and said to myself that I would stop. At first when he furnished taking my polish off there was still polish there but I know that usually what they cant get off with the remover that the portable file ( the thing that looks like a drill) will get it off. He started to put the acrylic on over the polish he didnt remove. And Im not talking about the polish residue im talking about actual polish.... after putting the acrylic on he used the portable drill in the nails but never smoothed the nil down. I didnt say anything because I just thought that by the time getting my feet done it should be dry. As I am sitting in the chair getting my feet done im look at my nails and it looks like little bubbles and streaks in the paint. So I told the guy that they look messy and first thing he said was I must have touched something Now I am never gonna say that I have never accidentally touched something while my nails where still drying buy Ive always owned up if I did. I told the guy that I never touched anything and that he did smooth the nail. He also used a clear coat that was very clumpy. I told he that and he repainted my nail and it came out the same way. When I asked for the manager just to show the work this guy was giving customers he said no manager was there.

1 /5 Angela D: On October 4th, 2023.. I came to Tampa on vacation with a couple friends, we decided we wanted to get our nails done together before our event we were going to the next day. We tried to find a place that was close to our hotel since we had to Uber there. I picked Aj’s nail spa because it was close and had better reviews than the other 2 in the area. The service I got at this salon was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I understand that usually you should make an appointment, but I did call ahead and ask if they had time for 3 walk ins and they said yes. Also online it says they close at 7:30pm.. but they told me they close at 5:30pm, so we had to rush to get over there. Once we got there, we got seen pretty quickly.. I had to wait a little bit, no big deal. Then one lady started working on my nails and I told her what I wanted. Short coffin style black acrylics with some rhinestones and a moon on the ring finger. So she started working on my nails and put the tips on and the black acrylic powder.. then sends me over to get my feet done and she starts working on someone else. The lady who was working on my feet didn’t even bother asking what kind of pedicure I wanted and just did a basic pedicure rushing through it the entire time. After she finished my feet, the same lady started to finish my nails and I had to explain what I wanted again.. she was really rushing through it, just as the first lady did too, leaving glue stuck under my nails and powder all over my hands.. they looked so messy.. usually at some point they ask you to wash your hands.. they did not do that at all. When the second lady was finishing my nails, the rhinestones were crooked and she couldn’t even paint a crescent moon so she just ended up using a moon shaped gem. And there was little bubbles in the polish as well. After she was done she put oil on my hands and my hands felt so gross covered in oil and powder and I had to wash my hands before I left. I didn’t say anything at the salon because we didn’t have time to get them redone and I figured no one will be looking that closely at them anyway since we were going to a goth music festival, so it would be dark in there anyway… but I still have to look at them! Thankfully I will never have to go back to this salon again since I live in another state. I think my friends had a slightly better experience than I did… but I was really upset after we left and I still left a tip and paid $100 for nails I was not happy with. Next time I will make sure I get my nails done BEFORE I go on vacation. I just took these photos, even though I got my nails done a couple weeks ago.. you can still see how crooked the stones are…
