I've lived in Howell for a couple years and I don't get my nails done often. I have a big event coming up and wanted a dip manicure. I reached out to the Instagram page and whoever responded was very helpful and booked an appointment for me. I showed up 10 min early for my appointment and was taken a half an hour after my appointment time. I understand it's busy, it's right before the holidays but that's not really fair to keep someone waiting that long and to just say have a seat. Tell me she's behind. I don't know who I'm going to, I've never been here before. When I was waiting , they had me sit in the nail drying chairs which were so hard and uncomfortable- they need padding or a pillow or something. Then they moved me to the pedicure chair, thankfully, which was a little bit more comfortable while I was waiting. My nails came out okay. The tech was very nice. I learned that they don't cut cuticles with the manicure I got, which is kind of disappointing. I did tell her I like them thinner and I feel like they're a little thick. When I checked out, I asked what the total was and was told one number, and when I checked the receipt, it included a fee, which was not the amount I was told. I don't care how much it was-but if someone is asking how much, tell them they are actually being charged including the fee. She asked how everything was and I said it was ok and she didn't press to find out more. read more

I have been coming here for three years. I had many pedicures and everyone is great! Mom and Priscilla are my go to! Walk ins for pedicure are easy to get. But my literal reason for living and coming here is Andy. I have been seeing Andy for three years and in that time I have moved from Central Jersey to Manhattan and continue to come here every three weeks just to see this man. He is such a good and genuine soul. I look forward to seeing him every three weeks. He genuinely cares about his customers and what they want. Something so small as getting your nails done and feeling good all the time makes a huge difference in your mood. And this man totally gets that and is a complete artist. He can do literally any shape, design, art, color match, anything you could think of. And his prices are exceptionally fair. If I got done anything like this in Manhattan, I would probably pay closer to 300-400. I have not seen anyone do artwork and nails the way that he does. I would compare the quality of work that he does to some celebrity nail artists. Sometimes I do have to wait because he's a busy salon and he can get backed up if people are late. But I will literally wait, as long as I need to be seen by him read more

OMG. READ ALL THE REVIEWS NEVER EVER GO THERE. JOB WAS DONE HORRIBLE DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON NEVER SAW THIS KIND OF HORRIBLE WORK DONE EVER. Nails were done by male employee who painted skin of nails all over. Picture was given to him of what needed to be done. Instead of jewels for decoration as on a picture he splashed nails polish all over. READ OTHER REVIEWS NEVER GO THERE. They offered to redo by someone else. Really would you ever go to such horrible place again? Too bad I can't attach video of horrible job that was done. Probably was blocked because they don't want others to see read more

We love the service at Bond. They take such good care of us. Sunny is the BEST! He always makes sure we're happy and satisfied.

I have been coming to Gigi at Bond Beauty for a few years now. Always a great experience!

This was my second time getting a pedicure here. First time I went with a friend (we had appointment). Very friend staff and clean. Sat us right away. Someone came to start her pedicure and after almost 10 minutes they noticed I was still waiting and sent someone over. No big deal except then my pedicure was done before hers. A little annoying but thought I would give it another try. Went back on my own, with appointment. Again, staff super friendly and nice and sent to sit down immediately. Unfortunately, similar problem. Pedicure was only about 20 mins. and when I got home I realized she literally painted only 3/4 of most of my nails leaving the side portion undone. Also while there I noticed the topcoat on one nail was clumpy and she missed a portion but I figured I'd fix it at home. The prices are good, staff is friendly, and place is clean. Maybe I am just having bad luck not picking particular technicians and getting whoever is available. read more

Amazing salon I drive from Tom's river to come here. Ahn is the most amazing person ever. She gives me beautiful lashes every time. She lets my daughter hang out while I get my service done. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she is constantly evolving her business by training more and offering more services to her clients . I've never seen her anything but happy and accommodating to her clients. I am so happy I found her read more

Selina is AMAZING!! A perfectionist, my nails are always on point!! So easy to make appointments too!

Overbooked and sat close to 40 minutes to wait for my manicure. My gel manicure was done extremely quickly and started lifting and chipping after 6 days. Complete waste of money and won't return. read more

I witnessed something extremely disturbing today. Someone who claimed To be the business owner made discriminatory remarks against a client. Not only did she accuse this poor woman of giving her less money, which she later found she proceeded to throw her out of the salon for standing her ground. She never apologized for accusing her. The woman did nothing wrong, and the owner either tried to steal money or was just careless. Either way I felt very uncomfortable with her behavior towards a client who did nothing wrong. To be honest it looked like racism and discrimination. I have everything on tape and planning on showing this to Chanel 12 news. Noone should be treated like that. I don't think anyone should visit this salon as it's an unsafe place. Added after owner response. No, my name is Noelle. Not Nina, I'm not sure who you're speaking of. Frankly your run on sentences are confusing me. I don't really care to be honest what you write, I have everything I need. Proves again to everyone what kind of person you are. Lots of luck to you, just remember what goes around comes around. You're a horrific human being. read more

i came in with nails from another salon and i asked for a color change. i was told at the door that it would be 20. i usually pay 35 for my fill however i was charged 30 to repolish my acrylics. i almost didn't want to tip. terrible customer service. this salon is going downhill it's so sad. editing my review because this lady is tricky with words however, when I called over the phone, I said that I didn't like the sparkles that the other salon did. Those were just the design nails. There was only two of them. I was told by the employee that I should get all of my nails done because it's gonna be the same price. I did not need all of my nails changed. I just needed the design fixed so that should've been specified to me and therefore there is awful customer service. Why would anyone pay 30 to have the color changed? Obviously you had to leave that part out if I was just coming for a design it should've been 10 not even 20. But seeing all these bad reviews now, I understand why you have to scam people and take their money. I never asked about the price over the phone maybe you should communicate with your employees a little bit better because they're lying to you . I was told it was 20 when I arrived never thought that it would be an extra $10 more and after spending all day nail salons I didn't feel like picking a fight, but you had shitty service and so I'm leaving you a shitty review. Have a great day. Obviously, you had to not be truthful about the prices because why would you only mention part of the service price if it wasn't completely ridiculous. Stop scamming people and worry about the integrity of your salon instead of replying to reviews and lying to your clients. read more

I have been going to Bond intermittently for several years. The people who work there are pleasant and for the most part do a very good job. Although there seems to be a lot of staff turnover. My main concern is that the place always seems to need a good cleaning. Many seriously dirty looking surfaces, including customer contact ones. And that makes me wonder about the infection risk. I mean, Does that mean that instrument disinfection is lax too? I don't want to take that chance. I'm gonna have to look for a new place. I'm attaching photos of a manicure work station and a remote control for a pedicure seat. read more

I know I had seen a post online about one of our local salon raising their prices. I had seen a few people recommend Bond Beauty Nails & Spa so I checked them out while I was in the area. I had a gel manicure, same as I always get at the other salon. I went to Bond Beauty on Monday. By Friday morning 4 nails were chipped and peeling off. By this morning (Monday) two of those ripped and broke the nail. I will be returning to my regular salon since their manicures last almost a month before even seeing any signs of chipping or lifting. You get what you pay for! read more

Andy did an amazing job with my nails! I went to another salon previously & they made my nails super thick and the blend of the ombré was not seamless at all. Andy knew exactly how to fix it and it came out better than I could imagine! Not to mention it only took him 15 minutes! I cannot wait to go back in a couple weeks for my wedding nails read more

I went Tuesday for a gel pedicure. I got seated and the girl never filled the tub. I picked my polish. They didn't have it. So I settled for a different one. And it wasn't even that color! She quickly trimmed my nails and started polish. This was the worst gel pedicure ever. No soaking, no filing and cuticle work, no massage. What??? I go up to pay and was told $28 for my polish change! What? I made an appointment for a gel pedicure and received confirmation with the price of $40. Really? This place is horrible. Do not use this place! read more

Worst pedicure I have ever gotten. They had me waiting for about an hour for a pedicure I had an appointment for. I chose a color and the girl comes back to say they don't have it or the whole row of colors it's in (all colors I liked) so then I pick another color and THEY DON'T HAVE IT. So the receptionist doesn't even give me another option after that she just brings out a color for me that is not even similar to what I chose. Finally, the person doing my pedicure shows up and makes me move chairs when I have been soaking in the one chair for an hour. My nails were rushed and lumpy. I still have left over red gel polish on from my last pedicure. DO NOT GO HERE if you want a relaxing experience or a good service. read more

I've been going to bond beauty for about a month now and I am extremely pleased with the service and the layout of the salon! The salon is beautiful, clean and organized unlike a lot of the salons in the area. So it is a pleasant experience. As far as making appointments for my nails, I'm the type of person who is super last minute and Bond Beauty caters to my needs by allowing me to walk in with just a call only 10 minutes before. I've been going to Christine since I started coming here and she is fabulous! She's so sweet, does an great job with my nails, they always look perfect and last a long time. (I usually get the regular gel manicure) I've gotten a pedicure by Dat and he's great! I'm also only in the nail salon for no longer than 35-40 minutes each time so it's very fast and convenient for people with a busy schedule. Everyone at Bond Beauty is extremely accommodating and want to give their customers the best possible experience. Also their prices are awesome! It's only $23 for a gel manicure which is a lot cheaper than other nail salons in the area and they do a fabulous job! The gels usually last me a little over 2 weeks with no silly chips or anything like that. I'd highly recommend Bond Beauty to anyone looking for a new nail salon or looking to get pampered. I recommend Christine and Dat as well! Both of them are great and do a quick and beautiful job! read more

Bond Beauty - Big apple red gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

THEIR INSTAGRAM IS A LIE! TRASH SALON! Came out to this salon, and drove 25 minutes because I was looking for somewhere new and their Instagram had great photos! My appointment was at 10am, and they said I had to wait. Someone walked in at 10:21. During my appointment the front desk was going back and forth about my nail techs schedule. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONALLY! My design came out like trash, and when I asked her to fix it because I saw bubbles and it wasn't clean she said "no one is going to look that close". I would give this place zero stars if I could. read more

Just got my nails done with my sister at Bond Beauty. Let's start with the establishment. Beautiful space, very spa like, spacious, tv and music on, and all proper Covid requirements in place. (Temperature check upon arrival, masks and gloves and plastic dividers, hands washed upon entering). Staff was also pleasant. Now the negative. I got a full acrylic set. My technician did my nails in about 15 minutes which I have never in all my life experienced. The nails are too small for my own natural nail bed and when I pointed this out he said not to worry. No oil applied to my cuticles. No trimming or pushing back of the cuticles. No base coat. No hand lotion. Nothing. Now the pedicure. A different technician did my feet and good grief , it took almost an hour !!!! For a basic pedicure!!! She was so sweet but it does not take an hour for a pedicure :( My sister got a basic manicure, also no hand massage no lotion, no cuticle oil and also no base coat . Her nails aren't filed evenly either. Will not be coming back here. Also overly priced. read more

All I asked for was a basic French set. Not the most complex thing to do for a nail tech, so I took whoever was available since I have some friends who came here. This is what I paid $55 for. Do what you want with this. I never came back to this place. Service was chaotic, and there's a turmoil anger vibe in this place. Never again read more

I've been coming to Bond Beauty for decades and Priscilla is the most amazingly talented nail artist I've ever met. She is effortless, attentive and it's obvious she is passionate about what she's doing. She always makes sure I am happy with how my nails look and has me laughing during the entire process. She makes getting your nails done fun again so grateful for her! read more

Don't let negative reviews of this place throw you off because I ALWAYS have a great experience here. All nail techs are extremely friendly and helpful, even if I'm indecisive about colors or designs. I've witnessed some awfully rude clients treat the nail techs so meanly, and they always are so poised and dignified about it! They do the best they can to make sure difficult customers leave satisfied. I've been to SO many salons in Monmouth and Ocean County over the years, and I've been consistently coming back here for 2 years since I found this place. Again, never a bad experience. They always give me great suggestions, and my nails come out perfect. I love the atmosphere; it's clean and open. I get my eye brows done here too, and it's so painless to the point it's relaxing. Love Kathy, Sunny and Trish! read more

Sonny did an absolute horrible job doing my gel fills. Update: Next time I went to get a gel fill at my usual salon I had fungus growing under one of my nails! Beware of this awful place. read more

I've been going here since back in 2019, I an safely say it's a beautiful salon and that's it, there a few artists that are amazing at what they do but most artists just rush through the whole f*cking appointment with an attitude included, I've been with about 10 different artists so I know it wasn't just one single instance. Honest to god, hate the outcome of my nails 90% of the time, how can you really not apply polish to the whole nail ?? Like deadass? Definitely finding a new place, y'all got me messed up. read more

I literally never do this, but I have to say this is the worst nail salon I've ever been to!! My nails looks like shit. Everything about them is awful. The receptionist was very polite and was willing to have someone try to fix them but after the experience I had and the outcome of these I just wanted to get out of there read more

Rude staff and rude owner. I waited literally 2 and a half hours one time for my nails to get done with an appointment!! When I kept asking what was going on I got no answer from my nail tech. I actually saw her grab someone before me after I had already been waiting an hour. When I went to the front desk to ask them what was going on I was gaslighted and blamed due to wanting a specific gel. I did not ask for any specific gel. I asked for the same gel I always get. This was the last straw for me and I have not been back since. read more

my first time coming here was on sunday after it being highly recommend towards me. i had an appointment with kelly but something came up and she canceled it so i had to go with someone else. . i like how the salon takes covid protocols. i ended up going with sunny i believe who did a good-ish job. but upon arrival i waited 45 minutes for him to take me. my appointment was at 12:30pm and i didn't get seen till 1:10pm ish. he worked pretty fast and didn't seem to work on the shape much and rushedbut the wait was ridiculous. for a full set of gel nails it was $50 which is an average price. i had to come back today (2 days later) since one of my nails just popped right off. i waited 45 minutes before getting so fed up i just had to leave. all i needed to get seen for was a simple nail repair. the lady at the front kept telling him he had a nail repair and he completely ignored her. he took 3 people before i just left. definitely don't come here unless you want to waist your time. update: it's been one week since i've got my nails done. the quality of these nails are absolutely horrible. 3 feel off in a week. usually i never have nails fall off. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

I have been hearing about the idea for a new salon for a bit now, with the idea and plans to expand and create a new salon that was open, spacious and modern and now it is finally completed. Open welcoming both old and new clients to the brand new Bond Beauty and Nails Spa!!! I made my first appointment at the new salon, walked in and took a good look around, seeing the completed salon had really far surpassed what I had expected- just WOW!!! I immediately got the feeling of spaciousness, the Technician areas though separate actually flowed and it all looked very modern with the salon walls having been painted a bright crisp clean color with silver and sparkle accents all of it truly making the final outcome both warm and inviting yet very chic. Simply fantastic!! Our favorite Nail Technicians have new beautiful nail stations that are roomy for both the client and the Technician, plenty of elbow room to design and create, making your nail and beauty appointments comfortable, the pedicure chairs are plush and comfortable and the polish wall is easily accessible now with every color imaginable without being in the way of the waiting area, of course with the NEW location being right next to the old salon I couldn't be happier. read more

I've been to Bond Beauty a couple of times when I'm in the area and they provide exceptional service.First of all, they are great with a accommodating appointments which is a big plus to me! Secondly, with COVID I'm very paranoid with an establishment not taking the necessary precautious they need to, in order to keep everyone safe. But I don't have any fears here because they sanitize every chance they have! I was very impressed. My to go persons are Andy and Anh. Andy is fast with great listening skills. I usually, give him an idea of what I want and he executes it! He really goes above and beyond with his designs and I never ever felt like he's rushing to get to the next client. He's so cute too! Not that it really matters. Lol Anh, she usually does my waxing. I've been to plenty of places where it was so painful but Anh has the magic touch! She's quick, precise and such a sweetheart. Bond Beauty doesn't just treat you like a client but more like a family member! If you haven't been here yet, give them a try! You won't regret it, I promise you! read more

I think it's disgusting to let a young girl sit waiting when she had an appointment. To accommodate your regulars or walk ins and my daughter had an appointment for tips and they left her sitting there like she was invisible (women owned) should be ashamed of yourself. When I called they should of said they were too busy !!!!! Waste of Time !!! read more

How this place gets good reviews is horribly astonishing. I made an appointment for 4:30 with the receptionist. I waited until 4:46, as they gave the tech Trish another customer which I was booked for an appointment with. The tools were not sanitized, the pedicure was 15 minutes long. The girl who did my nails told me there was no more hot towels because it was 5:00. I asked why do the make appointments this late then. I don't mind spending money when it's a good job. Don't ever use this place, unsanitary, bad service and very bad job. They should have offered a refund. I immediately canceled my nail appointment. Save your money and give any place else. read more

I'm not usually one to wrote reviews, twice I've been there and both have been awful experience. first I had a manicure on my natural nails and the dude went at my fingers with the Dremel. completely destroyed my nail beds after months of letting them grow out after years of gels... His claim was "prepping mail bed for polish..I was a walk in so as uoset as I was I chalked it up to that. They never actually give you an appointment with someone who actually knows what they are doing... this second time someone gave me a gift certificate and I actually made an appointment after asking around with someone who came highly recommended. It's a pedicure after all what could possibly go wrong??? well I show up 15 min early for my appointment. I said "I have an 11:30 and the woman at the front responded "go wash your hands" I paused and thought ok Covid, and said "did you check me in?" she turned around from chatting with coworkers wiggled the mouse and said "yeah you're in" I never gave her my name, how is this possible. after washing my hands she said sit in the last chair and yelled "MOM, pedicure!". my appointment was with angel. I thought maybe she's sitting up the foot bath. Nope. this little woman comes out of the back and starts chopping away at me nails. Sweetest little thing on the planet. Funny and just a great conversation. however I walked out with polish all over my cuticles and my heels (after going at them with a cheese grater??) are literally shredded. the skin on my heels is actually getting caught on fabric. I used the gift card and gave that balance to someone else. it's just an awful place and that woman at the front being so dismissive was just such an infuriating experience never never never again. all bad I did tip the woman. I really don't like hurting peoples feelings. she's older and is out here grinding every day and I respect that. read more

I stopped going here after a year of going once a month. Once I made the switch from gel nails to powder dip, I found this place to be really un accommodating. They do have powder colors but DO NOT have any samples of their colors. So every time you want a certain color it's a guessing game and they get annoyed because they have to go through several colors to get it right. The simple solution would be to create nail samples of each color, but they won't because as I was told, "powder dip is not popular." Then why have it at all??? It's also very crowded and everything feels rushed. read more

Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

This place was packed and I felt rushed with making a decision regarding design and color. My nails weren't finished when I was moved to the pedicure chair and they completely smudged. When I moved back to finish my nails they just quickly cleaned them off and painted over them. By the next day, I had spots stuck in the paint because they weren't fully dry when they were cleaned with alcohol. I doubt I will be back due to this and I wish I could say I was happier with the end result. read more
