Sky and Norma are super sweet, accommodating, and attentive! Nice vibe and service. Got a gel pedicure and it turned out great.

I just tried As U Wish in December and I had an amazing experience. Skyy and Mary Ann immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome when I walked in. This is definitely a place you need to make an appointment so book ahead. If you're looking for a quick in and out manicure/pedicure I would not come here because they really focus on giving you a great experience and stellar service, which sometimes takes a little longer. Also, I loved that Skyy's two tiny dogs were there - so if you're not a dog person that might be a no go for you. So stoked that I found my new go to salon in Hoboken, I'll be back very soon! read more

Amazing lashes - Skyy takes the time to customize the fit to create a fabulous set of lashes that last longer than any other place I've gone

Skye is a treasure. My nail color never chips-never The ambience is being with good friends There in no other place for nails and lashes that comes close to this unique salon read more

I have been going to Skyy for over 20 years. This boutique nail spa offers the absolute best pedicures I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, the serene atmosphere and attention to detail make you feel pampered and relaxed. The technicians are highly skilled and take the time to ensure every step of the pedicure is done to perfection, from the precise cuticle care to the soothing foot massage. Their selection of high-quality products and polishes is impressive, ensuring long-lasting results and a luxurious feel. Whether it's for a special occasion or a self-care treat, this nail spa consistently delivers a top-notch experience, making it my go-to spot every time. read more

Where has this place been my whole time living here? I felt at home from the minute I walked in and the pedicure was simply incredible. Sky is one lovely human. Some folks just live with a golden ora around them and she is that person. Funny. Caring. Talented. read more

Amazing nail salon. Very welcoming staff and relaxed environment. The place is dog friendly and the services were top notch. Will definitely go back. read more

The owner, Skyy, is wonderfully warm and welcoming, and did a great job waxing my eyebrows and lip area. Then I had a great "milk-me-away" spa pedicure and a no-polish manicure with a shiny buff, courtesy of Mary who did an amazing job. She took her time, was careful in expertly cutting my in-grown toenails, and gave me the most thorough no-polish manicure I've ever had -- thoroughly filing and cleaning up the nails and cuticles, and buffing my nails smoother than I've ever experienced before. A downside is that the pedicure stations feel a bit makeshift -- they have to bring a big tub of water and perch it on a step in front of the chair -- and they have no drying stations. Ideally, I would have liked to put my feet in a portable drying apparatus while Mary was doing my manicure. Instead, I ended up walking home in flip-flops on a cold, rainy December day ... which is less than ideal! The price also wasn't cheap: a total of $142 (including purchase of the flip flops, but not including the tip) for everything I've described above. I'm new to Hoboken and am not yet sure how this compares to other local nail salons, so I'll do some shopping around. Still, this is a great salon if you're looking for a friendly, uncrowded place with a cozy atmosphere, and it was great to be able to get a mani-pedi and eyebrow wax at the same place. And they have a back garden where you can get a manicure outside when the weather permits, which I'll probably try in the spring or summer. read more

I'll start by saying it was impossible to pick a gel color since they don't have a palette with colors..you have to individually sift through shelves of disorganized bottles and brands. It says on their website that they charge $3 (per nail) design and in the middle of my manicure, the owner asked a girl who wasn't even doing my nails to let me know I was being watched on camera???? And that she wanted to charge me $6 per nail. Mind you, I asked for two nails on each hand to have a single line added. The price wasn't even what bothered me, but to tell me I'm being watched! Will absolutely never step foot in there again. read more

As U Wish Nail Spa - Hair Removal Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I have never felt compelled to write a review before, but I came in about a week and a half ago and received such phenomenal service I had to. Hands down the best & friendliest staff that I have encountered in Hoboken (I'm a student & go where I find the best deal so I've tried like 3 or 4 so far). Genie did my nails and she was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. When she realized the color I picked was a bit runny she started painting and then drying each nail individually so they wouldn't dry weirdly (instead of doing all 5 then drying), despite having one of her regulars waiting. I have definitely been to salons where if this situation occurred, they would have rushed through to get to the next client, but Genie was incredibly patient and my nails came out fantastic! The next time I need my nails done for something I'll be coming here :) read more

I found a Groupon deal over the summer for eyelash extensions--full set with a 2 week touch-up. No where on the Groupon does it say "Tuesdays only". It was a pain in the butt to try and schedule for a Tuesday given my work schedule and the pandemic. I offered to pay full price if I could schedule for the weekend, and they said no. Finally got an appointment after playing phone tag and leaving voicemails for awhile. I think Chyna did my eyelashes, and she was very sweet and helpful. The environment has a lot of people talking and kids running around so it wasn't very relaxing. That would have been fine though considering the end-result was great. The eyelashes looked phenomenal when they were done...but every single eyelash had fallen out within 5 days. Usually my extensions last a month. I was so disappointed after all the hassle to get the appointment. I cancelled the 2 week fill-in because there was nothing left to salvage. I'm definitely disappointed and won't be returning. read more

My mani pedi experience with Elida was very relaxing! My feet were so dry and really needed some work and she spent sooo much time working on them which I really appreciated. I came here with a Groupon and am so glad the service was not sacrificed due to the discount. The only downside is that I noticed, after getting home, that my mani application could have been a bit smoother. It also started chipping/cracking a little sooner than usual (using OPI polish, my go-to) so I'm thinking the top coat could use some improvement. Overall would definitely go again. The staff was so nice and the whole place smelled like a spa rather than a nail salon which is relaxing read more

See all

Wonderful pedicure! Callouses are gone. Toenails are perfectly shaped and polished. And the massage was excellent and unhurried. If you want personal attention in a small and welcoming atmosphere where 'everyone knows your name,' this is it. Skyy is warm and caring. She makes sure the attention and the results are spot on! read more

Great experience here. Mary Ann did my pedicure and recommended services better suited for the health of my feet/toenails (for a lower cost service at that). Great pedicure and took her time. Tatiana did my manicure and it is flawless. Both girls were personable and friendly. The owner Skyy was in while I was there and she was also very friendly...she went above and beyond, truly. Place was clean. I will be returning! Thank you girls :) read more

Have now had two mani/pedis here and have had a fun and relaxing experience both times! Nails look great too. Manicurists are friendly and welcoming. read more

One friend recommended me the place, so I went from secaucos. The place is so nice, the price a little expensive, you can find cheaper and nicer places in the area. The owner sky was friendly at the beginning, but then she was so rude with the employees, she thinks that she is a celebrity and she doesn't look like one, she should be more humble with her employees that do a great job. This person should have studied human resources before opening her own business! read more

Literally, fantastic service from Alisa and the other ladies. This place is calm and relaxing. From the decor, to the aromatics, to the layout of the place. I came here with two other people - the boyfriend and the best friend - with a groupon for a spa mani and spa pedi. This place doesn't have the conventional pedi/spa chair. They bring out these pots - think paella pots - with warm water/milk/essential oil liquid. And from there, work on your feet. It was hygienic, efficient, and relaxing. The best friend raved about how good everything smelled - very fragrant compared to usual chemical-y nail salon smell. The shape and paint on both my toenails and fingernails were ON POINT. My nails and cuticles were clean clean clean!! I would love to come back here again - I'm glad that I bought the groupon. It was a fantastic deal that lead to this discovery! All of us were truly impressed by the overall service and experience. Lastly, I noticed that they called (what seemed to be) their 'regular' clients by their names - now nice! It truly is fantastic when they build a rapport with their clients. read more

I got a Groupon for a mani/pedi that got delayed with COVID and reopening plans. Skyy was so accommodating in helping me set up an appointment with my work schedule! Not only that, I walked in and was immediately made to feel like I had been coming there for years. Skyy and her team (Eli did my mani/pedi) were professional, personable, and downright lovely! Skyy also told me that you can get a pedicure outside in her gorgeous outdoor space! COVID precautions were excellent without detracting from the spa experience. Thank you Skyy, Eli and team! I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Hands down the best manicure and pedicure I've ever received. My pedicures last over a month with no chips and regular manicure about 2.5 weeks. Well worth the money. Skyy is truly professional and great with customer service. She books up fast is the only downside, book at least a week in advance. She's in high demand!!! read more

I just left this place and I have to first say that the pedicure itself was wonderful. the three stars are for that.It was a great way to relax on Saturday. There were however a couple things that left a sour taste in my mouth. When I arrived at the salon a half hour early, I asked if they took credit cards. I gave myself time ahead so I could get cash if I needed to. They said yes and then at the end of my service, told me I couldn't tip on the credit card. No sign displays cash tip only and I assumed when there wasn't any one telling me otherwise when I asked, it wouldn't be a problem. So with fifteen minutes before they closed I had no time to go get a tip and come back, so now I feel obligated to go back a different day. My last thing is I had gotten a postcard sometime ago with a series of promotions no expiration. When I got to the salon, the same postcard was displayed and stated the same thing so I figured I was getting 50% off my signature pedicure. Instead at the end they told me the postcard was old and I had to pay full price. I went in because I could get a nice pedicure for a good price and paid more than I wanted. Hopefully the administrative part can catch up to their services otherwise I will not be back. There are plenty of other nail salons in the area. read more

I have been going to Skyy at As U Wish for 9 years. Every time Ive always left happy. If I have a request to do something a certain way that I like her response is always "As U Wish". That's so refreshing! I've been to many other salons and would usually get an attitude or a big 'ol sigh. Skyy and the rest of the staff always asks if I'd like water, coffee, tea... As far as I can remember back I've never experienced having to wait for my appointment. As a consideration I always arrive on time if not a little early and I'm serviced at my appointment time. You do need an appointment. It's that kind of salon, but it doesn't bother me because they are always ready for me when I get there. Over the 9 years I've received the same excellent level of customer service and professionalism. Oooh and I think it's important to mention that I usually go in for my Brazilian wax with lavender and the way Skyy does it barely hurts!!! I know crazy, right!? read more

Love my gel manicure, done by Claudia! Amazing job and very friendly atmosphere. I will be back , for sure read more

As U Wish Nail Spa - Should out to Claudia! I love my nails!! Amazing experience and friendly atmosphere :) - Hair Removal Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Best pedicure EVER. HANDS DOWN! Years ago, I relocated to the west coast, and whenever I came back to town, my first stop was always Skyy/As U Wish. Years later moved back in town, and now I travel to Hoboken from Harlem. Yes, it's that serious! Excellent customer service and friendly staff. read more

This is the best place for me Lashes .. Flaweless Fabulous By Skyy Excellent service read more

As I was picking out my color Sky told me my manicure was free because it was my first time at As U Wish and asked me what temperature I wanted my milk at for my pedicure. I asked "is that extra? I just want the most basic pedicure." She replied "yes, great question some salons will just do it without telling you and then charge you at the end for it." I then sat down for my pedicure and was asked by Sky what scent I want my water to be. I didn't think that was extra since it's just essential oils and I literally just had the conversation with her that I want a very basic pedicure and I thought that was understood. I was charged $45 for my pedicure (!?). It was just my pedicurist there since Sky had left and I didn't want to argue with her, but I feel bamboozled and I don't enjoy being tricked into spending more money especially after I made that clear. Even if I did knowingly want the essential oils and was willing to dish out that money for that type of pedicure, how is a few drops of lavender and peppermint water $25 extra than the basic pedicure?? ): read more

I can't say enough good things about Skyy and As U Wish. I went to get my brows done and I'm so thrilled with the result. She was so meticulous and measured everything. They are absolutely perfect. And I'm someone who cares a lot about my brows. She will now be my brow go-to. read more

Loved getting my nails done here! The salon is gorgeous and incredibly clean. It was so relaxing to have complementary wine and they have the best music. I can't wait to get my nails done here again. read more

This place is amazing! The music, the vibe, the wine offered and of course the quality of service. Such a unique spot! Totally elevated experience beginning to end. Hope to see Skye and the girls again soon... read more

I don't normally write reviews, however after visiting multiple times now I have nothing but good things to say! I've now received eyelash extensions services as well as waxing, mani and pedi's. Between the amazing shape SKYY gave my brows to the flowing lashes (that no one could tell are not mine) I will be a repeat customer. This is not the place for you, if you want a quick 30 min procedure, they take their time and are VERY detail oriented. The price is definitely higher then your average nail salon, and that is just it... it is not your average nail salon. They use nothing but the best products and my regular manicure lasts 2 weeks! Not gel ladies.... Skyy uses stainless steel pedicure bowls to insure the cleanest environment. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself just once, I guarantee you will accept nothing less after that! read more

Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with my eyelash extensions here. Firstly, they insist they remove your current lashes for 50$ prior to doing a fill. I just moved to the area so I needed a new place. I have had eyelashes done for about a year now. It was extremely uncomfortable and my eyes were almost raw afterwards. Then, they put lashes on which were too short and sparse, not what I had wanted at all. I did my normal aftercare and did not get them wet or apply makeup for 48 hours. Within 8 days, they have all almost fallen. I used to go for 3 weeks without them falling out. I'm so disappointed and wasted A LOT of money read more

This was one of the best mani and pedis I've ever had. The peaceful ambiance and professional service that I received has been unmatched. The service and detail that Skyy gives to her clients is the best part of the experience. read more

I enjoyed my experience here. The backyard was so peaceful and it was a relaxing experience to let my nails dry out there!

Awesome service from Paulina. Very welcoming. I love that there's no chemical smell in the salon (they don't do anything "unnatural", ie tips). They actually give nail care, here. Will definitely be back for more. read more

I was invited to his nail spa by a fried and I am so happy I accepted the invitation. I live in NYC so Hoboken, NJ is a bit of a hike to get a mani/pedi but after being introduced to this amazing place no distance will keep us apart, lol. As a guy who is rather hard on his feet I'm always a little shy when I get a pedicure and it can be somewhat awkward walking in but Skyy and Margherita had me in a comfortable overstuffed wicker chair with my shoes off and with a strong cup of coffee in my hand in under 5 minutes. My friend and I were the first ones there but there was no "ramping up" for these ladies. Their energy was upbeat and positive from the second we walked in. I opted for the Toe-Ta-Lee MR pedicure because it offered a "tough buff" which is what my poor feet needed. Margherita had my feet soaking in warm water with REAL lemons floating in it. She was thorough and patient and amazing. There were no power tools of any kind involved. Everything is done by hand and with care. Margherita buffed and scrubbed my feet while I took in the amazing decor. You can immediately see how it can double as an event space, it's so well though out and decorated. Most nail salons/spas are functional at best with price list as decorations. Not here! I didn't go into the backyard patio but I'm sure I'll be there in the summer time. Skyy the owner was really cool and down to earth. I can't wait to come back with my daughter and introduce her to a successful black women running an amazing customer oriented business. Overall an amazing experience. I will be back! Shout out to my friend for BRINGING me:-). read more

From the moment I stepped into this urban oasis, I knew that this would be my go to nail spa. Skyy and Paulina are the consummate professionals - amazing at what they do, attentive and amazing. To boot, my manicures and pedicures last (gasp, no chipping!). I highly recommend this nail spa. Even when I'm late, they accommodate me. I travel from Bergen county just for this individualized attention. You won't be disappointed. read more

Man what a day! After a long day of work I was over 15 minutes late for my scheduled services at As U Wish. Anyone who knows Skyy knows that she's a stickler for her time and service, with great reason, so I pleased to see my station equipped with wine and water (with lemon!) and a genuine warm greeting. I was feeling relaxed and pampered in no time!! After 10 years that professionalism and respect keeps me coming back. read more

As U Wish Nail Spa - Water and wine waiting for my pedi appointment. - Hair Removal Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I wish I could give a better review as the quality of service is excellent. Probably the best mani/pedi I've ever received. This is not a quick pop in nail place -- the pedicure alone takes like 90 minutes and is expensive (about $75), but is fantastic. Unfortunately I have to give a bad review because of the owner. I've been to the salon numerous times and every time I'm there she is nasty to the employees (who do great work) and talks crap about other people. One time I was there and she was making homophobic remarks. For that reason alone I won't return. It's unprofessional, uncomfortable and inappropriate. read more

I went in for a regular mani/pedi on Friday, it's Wednesday and ZERO chips!! nails look absolutely gorgeous and like they were just done. Such a relaxing and cozy atmosphere plus a super friendly staff. I highly recommend! read more
