Highly recommend - especially Dominga!

I've been to this salon in the past, but after my most recent visit, I won't be returning. I…read morescheduled an appointment for a French gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The pedicure felt rushed--while they did cut and file the nails and trim the cuticles, that was the extent of it. There was no real cleaning done, like removing dry skin or buildup from under the nails, which is something I've always expected as a basic part of a pedicure. Things went further downhill during the manicure. After prepping my nails, the technician asked which base color I wanted for the French manicure. When I looked down at my nails, I was shocked to see they were covered in white scratches and marks. My nails were bare when I walked in, and it was clear the damage was from overly aggressive filing of the nail beds. When I politely pointed this out, instead of taking responsibility, the owner gave me a series of dismissive explanations--blaming the condition of my nails on the fact that I hadn't been to the salon in a while, implying I must have done something to them beforehand, and finally saying they were "super dry" (which somehow justified the scratches). None of these made sense, and at that point, I decided I didn't feel comfortable continuing with the manicure. What made it worse was that they had already applied and cured the gel top coat. When I asked how they planned to remove it without further damaging my already painful nails, they proceeded to attempt to soak them in acetone--despite just claiming my nails were too dry. In the end, I paid for a mediocre pedicure and walked out with sore, scratched nails. There was no apology or effort to make things right. This visit was disappointing on all fronts--lack of professionalism, poor technique, and zero accountability. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

This salon is definitely more convenient for those who live by Exchange Place and Paulus Hook than…read morethe majority of salons which are by Grove and Newport. It is pretty small - only about 5 manicure chairs and 3 pedicure chairs. I have not had any issue getting an appointment. The online booking system is easy to use. The prices here are about $5 to $10 higher than other salons in the area, however there's often a promo so then the costs are better than others. I had a much better pedicure experience than I did manicure. I think the interior of this salon was maybe redone recently? It seems freshly painted, but then things like the nail polishes all generally looked half empty and dried out. There are no fans or vents on the manicure stations so there is powder from when they buff the nail polish off that coats everything. Not all the tools come out of the sanitizer packs which I did not like at all. There is a really large selection of dip powders. There was an underwhelming choice of gel polish colors to choose from. My nails did not all come out the same shape - some were round while others had an odd round-square shape. I was disappointed that one of the gel nails chipped 3 days after getting it done and a few more had chipped within a week. The pedicure stayed much longer and overall looked better than the manicure.

I have had good and bad experiences at nail salons, but this was definitely THE WORST and RUDEST…read morepedicure experience I've ever received. In short terms, DO NOT GO. The experience went downhill before the service even really started. Trying colors is a completely standard practice at nail salons, but Crystal Sun's practice for some reason cannot deliver. I showed the technician a reference photo of the pink shade I wanted. Since there were dozens of similar pinks on the color board, I simply asked for her advice. Experienced nail technicians usually know which shades are closest to a reference photo, so I thought it was a reasonable question. Instead, she came back with a color that looked almost white. I politely asked, "This is more of a white-ish color, right?" just to confirm. She became impatient and rude, "Just tell me the number of the color (from their color board) you want to have." At that point I was already frustrated, but I picked another color number anyway. Then the owner stepped in and started telling me, "You know this color is very pink..." I asked if I could simply try it so I could see how it looked on my nail. Instead of answering, she kept explaining why I didn't need to try it. So I asked, "So I can't try it?" Her response? "You don't need to give me attitude." I wasn't giving anyone an attitude, as I was asking for advice and trying to communicate what I wanted. I even showed her my reference photo and explained that I was asking because it's difficult to match a picture to a bunch of similar colors. She brushed it off by saying pictures and real life don't always look the same, which is exactly why I wanted to try the color first. She then grabbed another polish and started telling me that darker colors are better for pedicures, again without letting me try it. By then I was exhausted from arguing over something that every other salon I've been to handles without any issue, so I just accepted it and wanted the appointment to be over. Unfortunately, the service itself was just as disappointing as the interaction. The polish application was sloppy, the brush strokes were uneven, my cuticles were barely cleaned up, and the overall finish looked rushed. The worst part? I got home and noticed the polish was already chipping. I've honestly never had a fresh pedicure chip almost immediately (See pictures). I still paid full price for the worst pedicures I've ever received. After this experience, I'm not surprised this salon sits at a 3.8-star rating on Google. I was hoping to find a nail salon in Jersey City that I could return to long-term, but this was a huge mistake. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. DO NOT GO.

Kimmy's work is perfect. I can not recommend her enough. I used to get Japanese gel done in NYC…read morebefore the pandemic, and had been tolerating normal gel manicures from typical nail salons in Hoboken. It wasn't the same! Regular gel would chip or water would get under the gel and ruin it, within one week. Japanese gel is far superior and lasts weeks until you take it off. It's important to find not only this type of gel, but also someone who knows how to apply it, and Kimmy is the best. She shaped my nails perfectly. She worked swiftly but also took care and paid close attention to detail to ensure that my nails would last a long time. Kimmy has wonderful presence and chats with you while she's working on your nails. She'll ask you if you like something or prefer to change something as she goes, which is great. It makes for a really pleasant experience. You can tell she really enjoys what she does. I'm so glad to have found Kimmy in Hoboken. 5 stars :)

Cathy and Annie are my favorite nail techs, obviously for this long! They're both so sweet, talented, and always do an amazing job. They are booked so make your appointments ahead! Not much has changed with me because I still love spa pedicures and the experiences have gotten better. They change the theme each month to match the holiday or season so you're always getting new scents or flavors. It comes with hot towels, hot stones, massages! It's so luxurious. The salon is always clean and welcoming, they now serve water and juice now. The place feels so elevated and classy. I feel like im in Soho and im not. Only con is parking is tough but more than worth it to get a ride, uber or walk if need be. I wouldn't go anywhere else all these years. xoxo Apple

Technician - Sophie was recommended to me by my sister who found her on Instagram. My sister and I have been dissatisfied my local nail techs/salons time and time again. My sister converted to the elegant press-on route but I still wanted to try & find one more salon to hopefully be right before giving up entirely. Sophie is the one! Sophie has the values and the expertise I'm looking for. She's organized, respectful, AND skilled. She does the right thing by her clients and you never feel like she's trying to take your money and run, leaving you with a subpar manicure experience. She understood my needs, she listens to her clients, she's willing to learn, grow, and improve, and she CARES about her client experience from start to finish. She has a warm energy to her. Location/Atmosphere - Great location, wonderful space. So much to do and eat in the area. The salon itself feels like a boutique. You can see the effort and care taken in the look. She has RECEPTIONISTS! I cannot tell you the difference that makes. Her physical location has a restroom and waiting area. She plays MUSIC, pleasant music to create an ambiance. So sick of salons putting on the NEWS of all things, that is not relaxing. The staff is polite and professional. Pricing/Booking - Her site is well managed, organized, transparent, and EASY TO USE. The pricing breakdowns are provided, you can easily schedule, and you are provided with a receipt at the end of your visit. I take public transit to get to Jersey City, its not a close location BUT the factors I mentioned before make the trip worth it! I'm happy to say I've found a new home at Sophie's Nail Studio and plan to be a long time client.
