I work hard as a Chef and Beekeeper, and my nails go through all types of hell. So, wherever I get my nails done, they have to really come through for me. That being said, 4 U Nails & Spa in Cresskill NJ is a winner. The place is surgical clean and orderly. You never see a speck of anything, they are rabid about cleanliness. I get my gel mani done once a month and when I say it lasts -- if my nails didn't grow as quickly as they do (I think menopause sped them up lol) I could go even longer. But at 4 weeks, the grow-in is obvious and I don't like the way they look. I don't get them done because they are wrecked, I get them done monthly to change up the color and be pampered a bit. Funny story: last Saturday I was getting my gel mani and looked down the line and saw every client had picked some shade of pink. I had earlier switched my choice from a gorgeous turquoise to an OPI pink. We all laughed that it was the last mani of Summer. Come Fall, the colors are killer: deep metallic wines, sapphires, jades, the mattes are also stunning. Now I think I will go every 3 weeks, just to try all the colors. The technicians are friendly, but don't expect deep conversations; some aren't conversant in English, but all are stunningly polite. Two TVs are usually showing food network or animal planet, which is just fine. I leave my phone in my purse and just enjoy some quiet time. Pedis also last a long time, and the leg massages are wonderful; I just don't get them as often as my mani; maybe I should. Not the bottom of the pricing chain. The gel mani runs $35, and I tip 20%. But, you get what you pay for. And 4 U Nails delivers every time. Call and book an appointment. read more

I had gone here only because I won a gift certificate. They were able to take me right away when I called to see if they have any availability day off which was great! The place is nice but very small and cramped. The pedicure felt rushed but it was up to typical pedi standards. This would definitely be a place I would return to if I needed a place to go to in a pinch read more

I love this nail salon so much. All of the staff are amazing and so friendly. It's so clean on the inside too! They also offer a frequent client card. I feel like their prices are so fair too. I love getting a spa pedicure here. Every time someone sees my nails they are always complimenting me! read more

Very clean salon. Had an appt for a manicure and a pedicure. I only waited about 5 min. I sat with Mia for my gel manicure with a design. She was very thorough, gentle, and took her time. I showed her a picture of a design. The manicure and design came out perfect. I also had a regular pedicure, it was great no complaints. The woman (I didn't catch her name) was gentle, she cut my nailed, filed, clean the cuticles well. I would definitely come back. I should have taken a picture the same day, but I forgot. The picture I posted is about a week after and the nails still look great. read more

Yesterday I went in for a full UV gel set (with a little extension). Rose was fantastic! She had great attention to detail - checking several times to make sure the lengths matched, the nail shapes matched, and that they were the length I wanted. When it came time to pick a color, she let me try out a few that I liked from the swatches, and then suggested a combination that another client likes (that's what I ended up picking). The salon was busy, as it usually is, so I definitely recommend making an appointment or calling ahead to see if they have availability. read more

I have to take a Star away. There came a point where the consistency fell off, and I wasn't walking out as satisfied. The gel polish would start chipping, the pedicure service became so-so. So I stopped coming. But what I will say, because of the kindness and sweetness of Katie they were still on my nail roster of places to go. Whenever I have a nail emergency I know I can count on Katie to make it better. So now I'm back... Katie did my new set of UV Gel, which looks so great that the older man getting his manicure couldn't stop complimenting me. My pedicure was good.as well, Chris took care of the extra layer of skin buildup. And as usual they have a plethora of colors to choose from. read more

Do not come here for a Dip Manicure. First they do not have a good color selection, that should have been a sign. Next they had to share one bottle of nail polish between two nail techs so clearly they are not equiped to do Dip. The tech ground my nails down so much that I had to pull away because I was in pain. It's the next day and 7 out of 10 nails are CHIPPED. How is that possible if I used Dip. No idea. I have been having Dip manicure for 2 years at various salons and they have always lasted at least two weeks without issue. I usually have to go for a mani after 3+ weeks because my nails get too long to type. The entire experience was frustrating. We should have known from the start when they were claiming gel is better. No, it's not better. Ladies, you should be dippin just not at this salon. read more

First time coming to a nail salon post covid. I was one of three customers. I called asking to schedule an appointment and they took me right away. Obviously wearing a mask, As I was walking in, the manager/owner opened the door and took my temp. I signed in and they require you to give your cellphone number. There was hand sanitizer is available at the front desk. I selected my color and got a regular pedicure. There was plexiglass between myself and the employee. They did most certainly follow the 6 ft rule too!! Other than that the materials were clean and they used disposable buffer and file. They cleaned the other utensils in front of me with soap and water. I'm happy with the way my toes came out Wish customer service was a bit friendlier as it was a completely silent appointment. The facility has spider webs and the floors look gross. Whatever lotion they put on my legs left them greasy feeling that I had to come home and shower. Those are my reason for the lack of a star. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now and bringing friends, but since the owner gave up the management responsibilities to the two Korean girls, the place has gone downhill. Today my experience was so bad that I will not go back there again. Last time I was getting my manicure I was told that they keep the bonus cards at the salon. So I gave my bonus card to them. This time I asked for my card and the main manager Korean girl looked through the cards and didn't find mine. They said I haven't given my card to them. And it was very embarrassing the way they communicated to me, speaking Korean between them, and from their face expressions I could tell, it wasn't anything pleasant. My friend, who was there, thought it was really rude too. They kept telling me I have already used it and hinting that I'm lying. It was very unpleasant and not cool. They kept looking through my cards and telling me I haven't given my card. At this point, if I was a manager, I'd say, maybe we have lost your card, we'll give you a 50% discount. But these girls were extremely careless and snobbish. After 5 minutes the same Korean girl finds my card, brings it to me and just gives it to me. No apologies, no explanation, nothing. It was extremely rude!!! Very very rude!! The manager girls are not personable at all, very rude and careless each time. They have just become very snobbish. I'll give my business to someone who appreciates me as a customer. read more

I moved to NJ almost a year ago and was still traveling over the bridge to see my nail lady who has been doing my nails and feet for over 15 years! I am a true pain in the butt when it comes to my hair, nails and feet. Today after almost a year and being unable to make it to an appointment in NY I decided to give a place close to home a try. I yelped (as I do everything) and found 4 U Nails and spa, and I have to say I couldn't be happier! They were able to squeeze in a last min appointment and were absolutely amazing! Customer service and friendliness was outstanding! A+ I had my 1 and 1/2 year old and we all know how difficult that can sometimes be, but everyone (customers included) were so nice and engaging to him and he was very well behaved (well for a 1 year old at least)! Cleanliness- A+ one of the things I worry most about and I have to say you can tell from walking in right from the door they do a good job keeping things clean!!! Quality of service- A+++ as I said earlier I am a royal pain to the point I will sometimes file my own nails if I feel they are not being doing correctly or pick out the things that still need fixing; and I didn't have to do this at all here! Chrissy did my pedicure and Dana did my manicure. I will be returning again and again (with my husband)! Thank you ladies for an awesome job and experience! read more

Definitely disappointed the last few times I've come here, especially with the gel and powder manicures. The service has been less friendly and less meticulous. My powder nails are lumpy and scrape-y. So unhappy with the manicure. I do have to mention that there is no turn over in employees which is always a good sign. However, I will be checking out other local spots. read more

Love this nail salon! Its clean and theres a wide range of both gel/regular polish. Dana & Katie are two of the nicest girls who really take their time with your nails and truly value you! If you love designs, Dana is the girl for you! read more

I normally don't try new places when it comes to my "nails". However I heard great things about Dana, so i gave it a try. Salon itself was clean and orderly, and had many attentive staffs. I've noticed many color selections with gel mani & regular manicures. Dana was exceptionally fast and thorough. Her aesthetic was unexpectedly trendy, and I really enjoyed watching her as she did her job. I highly recommend the experience I had w/ Dana. What an unbelievable job she did. I am very satisfied and literally every penny I spent was sooooooo worth it. Attaching my beautiful mermaid nails I wish I have taken better pictures. Pictures don't do justice how amazing my nails look! I am comp read more

I've visited this salon twice and left satisfied both times, once with Dana and the other with Michelle as my nail techs. I get UV gel full sets, which take a considerable amount of time and effort compared to regular manis. Both times I've gotten them done here, and both times I was very satisfied with my nails! Each tech was very careful and detail-oriented; my nails came out clean, no signs of sloppiness/carelessness. I also like to add designs, and both techs made my nails exactly as I wanted (blue/white marble; black/purple ombre). They both took their time to make sure my nails came out great, despite the extra amount of needed effort/time. Everyone here is also very kind. I've had no issues in terms of chipping or fading with the polish. Also, my nails lasted for more than a month - compared to other salons where my nails would break after about 2 weeks. It's a bit pricey but that's really just because I get the UV gel set, which compared to other salons are around the same range so I can't complain. I figure this might be my go-to place if I don't find another place that has the same level of quality but at a lower price. I've visited other salons but most were sloppy compared to this one. I also didn't feel rushed here despite the "higher maintenance" service I was requesting. Both times I had called same day to book an appointment, and they accommodated me. While I was there I also noticed they usually take walk ins, unless they're really booked. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Good manicure. It's only $10 which is a great price. The service was quick. The manicure itself could have been a little smoother, but you really can't beat the price. read more

2 stars because I've had two bad experiences in a row. Didn't say anything the first time but now I am upset. Even when making an appointment in advance, I've waited almost 30 minutes to be seated for a gel manicure. Additionally, I just paid $40 for a gel manicure that started chipping off within a week.. and I work at a desk job. There's no reason for my nails to chip other than cheap quality nail polish or a bad job!!! If my nails are going to chip in a week I might as well pay $10 for a regular manicure!!! In addition to chipped polish, two of my nails ripped in the middle of my nail. I currently have a finger bandaged because it ripped so low and bled.. which is a completely unique experience since getting my nails done. Not sure if this is related to 4 U Nails but it sure is peculiar timing.. Won't be back. They might treat their regular customers well but I'm under the impression that if they don't recognize you, they won't give you the best service. read more

Great place super friendly staff. Best foot massage ever from a nail spa. A must if you're ever in the area.

Decided to try this place out after seeing other yelp reviews. The location is nice. Big parking lot so it's not hard to find a spot. I walked in and one of the first things I noticed is how clean the place is. That's a big plus in my eyes. I got a pedicure and it was good. They put some mask on my legs that made them so smooth. There were plenty of polish to choose from which I appreciated because I like to have variety. Overall satisfied with my experience. I'll have to come back again! read more

I have about as many positives as cons so here goes a list: pros: fast service (manicures takes 15 minutes) friendly staff manager kindly told me that there would be a 10 minute wait cheap $10/manicure cons: while service is fast, it is the bare minimum (no hand massage!) unfriendly staff (while some were friendly, others were not) waited 15 minutes from scheduled time nails are chipping after only 2 days (compared to my usual place in JC that doesn't chip for at least a week) read more

I'm reviewing this salon after going here for my first time. The place is extremely clean and has a HUGE selection of colors, especially their gel polish. I had one lady shape my toes for my pedicure, I didn't catch her name but she was meticulous. I then had Chris paint my toes and she as well did an exceptional job. Chris did my gel manicure, which I am very particular about. She would shape them and then ask me to check if I liked them before starting to paint which I so appreciated. I am so happy with my experience and will definitely be returning. I also highly recommend Chris! read more

So I have been looking to try 4 U Nails for a while. Today was the day I decided to go. I should have come here sooner!! Jackie was amazing; she did an amazing job! I opted to do a French color gel because I had seen one of the photos that someone had posted on ones of the reviews. I was soooo happy how my nails look. Ok so it's a little pricier than some of the local nail salons. But I am a firm believer that sometimes you get what you pay for! read more

I have been to this establishment a few time for a pedi and gel manicure. Yesterday I called for an appointment. When I arrived at the time I was given. The manicurist at he first station looked very confused which I noticed dispute the mask. She had me sit at her station and started my manicure. She then called out for someone in the back. A manicurist that I have never seen before came up and I was asked to switch seats. The she rattled some comments in Korean, which I felt was rude. The young woman doing my nails was Hispanic. I was given the worst gel manicure I have ever gotten. It seemed like this young woman was a novice. I was furious and let the main manicurist know of my displeasure. I will not get into it here because it is not so easy typing on the phone. Let it surface me to say that not only am I not returning to this establishment nor will I recommend it. I want to add, that one of the regular Hispanic ladies always did my nails when I came in the past and I was never disappointed. This young lady was new. read more

I came here today in pinch. I missed my regular nail salon on Saturday and they are closed on Sundays. My hands looked awful. So I just yelped "nails" in my area. I called and made an appointment. I arrived early, and they took me. The shop in new and immaculate. There are lots of new polishes and gel colors. You definitely will not have a problem matching your gel nail color with regular polish, if you do not do gel pedicures. The staff is courteous and nice. My manicure is impeccable, and I had two badly broken nails. Dana was wonderful! I will be back in couple weeks. read more

If you want a pedicure to remember go here, they made me melt on the chair on how good the message is with their creams and body scubas and to top it off the throw hot towels on you which are awsome for anyone whose standing all day like me (Im a waitress) .They also message you hands. They have a wide selection of gel/regular polishes for both your hands and your feet. My gel manicure come out great as well as my pedicure. I was told that theres a lady called Dana who does great with designs, I will definitly come back to try that out. They have a lots of parking area, but besides that Iwas very happy with trying out this place . 4 U Nail & Spa will be my new spot go to! :) read more

I've come to 4 U for over a year and have had mixed experiences. My last trip was the most frustrating yet. I waiting for 30 mins without being told how much longer the wait would be. My gel manicure turned out nice, but my nail tech was distracted throughout. At one point, she actually got on her cell phone and made a call while doing my nails! Additionally, she did not use the cuticle remover before doing my gel polish, which affected the results a few days in. My pedicure was what I usually receive here. Nothing out of the ordinary, though the French polish turned out a bit sloppy and uneven. My main concern was the sanitation of instruments. It was a busy day, and NOTHING used had been sanitized. The nail file still had dust from the last patron's nails on it. The instruments hadn't even been sitting in the blue sanitation liquid or one of the UV boxes-- they were out on the table, still showing signs of having just been used. This worries me especially in situations where the nail tech is too abrasive and cuts my skin, as she did this time. Previous visits have had less waiting time and more attentive nail techs. The sanitation level is always low, however, and I plan on finding another salon where I don't have to worry so much about it. read more
