Omg I love this place they are 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. Amazing manicures and pedicures. Not to mention a massage all that for next to nothing. I love them read more

I stumbled across this nail salon because it is open on Sunday's. Thinking back in retrospect, I should have gotten an idea of what I was getting myself into as I walked up the front door: the business name's letters were peeling off the front awning! Anyway, super strange place. I wasn't too comfortable here. The pedi was administered in a little hot room, I sat in a regular chair and was instructed to put my feet in a old sink looking basin. My feet and toes detected crates at the bottom, so I really felt that was weird. The mani experience wasn't much better! I was told to "lay down and relax" on this weird massage table. My arms were out and the woman started working on my nails. A giant hot water bag was placed on my stomach for relaxation at a certain point??? It was the strangest thing! I feel bad giving only 2 stars because the couple was very nice! read more

Charms Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlstadt, New Jersey

This spot is SUCH a hidden gem. Karen is amazing. My nails always come out fabulous and last a long time. She really takes her time to make sure your nails come out perfect and if you have one of those stubborn tips that won't budge off she will so gently and slowly work to get it off rather than do a bandaid trick like most places. Moving on to the reflexology. When you go in for your nails, allot an extra half hour for the included reflexology that is just indescribable. You just have to experience it, and once you do, you'll be coming back for sure. read more

Bizarre, but good... I came here with my dad for a pedicure. To start the place is cozy and feels like someones home. I was taken into a divey room for my foot spa, then escorted to a massage bed. My foot spa was alright, but the fun started once I was on the massage bed. I'm just laying there wondering what the heck is going on when I'm given an eye sachet and pillow for under my legs. I think, Okay that's nice I guess... Then large bags of warm water gets placed on me and moved every few minutes to different parts. Under me, over me, on my legs lol. I see signs everywhere for $20 per 20 minutes of reflexology treatment. While all this strange stuff is happening to me I still manage to get my nails painted while I'm laying there. As the minutes fly by I can't help but realize I've been there well over 40 mins and I begin to fear they were giving us the $20 per 20 min treatment... After all said and done they only charged $25 for well over an hour of very interesting, but great service. It's for sure an experience and the service is just exceptional. I would like to come here again soon! read more

You have to go there to believe it! Karen & Eddy are amazingly king, professional and they have angel hands! Loved every minute of my time there. It is worth the time and very reasonable in price. The only suggestion I have is updating their nail color options. Besides that... if u want a nice nail job and a relaxing time, go see them!! read more

Hours later and I am still blown away by the amazing experience I just had at Charms Nails. The owners Karen and Eddie are SO kind, funny and professional. My friend has been coming here for years and I've finally had a chance to get a gel manicure today. It was amazing to say the least, followed by a hand and head massage. I walked in stressed and left so relaxed while laughing goodbye to my new friends :) I love them already and will be back in a few weeks! It is no surprise they are going on 27 years of business!! read more

I absolutely love this place. Karen and Edy are experts at what they do. In addition, they are great listeners and spoil me every time I'm there. If I could go every day, I would. I very very highly recommend this place to every female and male. My husband also goes for pedicures, manicures and massages by Edy. He adores them and can't wait to go back every time he walks out. Thanks for being great Karen and Edy. See you again in 2 weeks! :-) read more

Charms Nails & Spa - Pedicure by Karen. Love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlstadt, New Jersey

See all

It is so hard to find a quality, good nail salon that you can just relax at. Not the glitz and glam and just rush you out. Everything about Karen and Ed at charms is just wonderful. They are so welcoming and cheerful, the colors are all great. Karen will give you gels that actually last and Ed is a reflexology professional. Thank you so much for keeping the old school nail salon vibe alive!!! I fully look forward to visiting this salon coming all the way from Hudson county to do so! read more

Such a great experience, from the minute you your acknowledged and welcomed to the shop. I loved the heated water bag they provide on the lower back while receiving nail service. I had done gel manicure. My only con is that I wish my cuticles were done and that my nails were a bit crooked. I noticed in light outside after I had left. Wasn't terrible but I'm bit OCD. I loved the part after your done with the service they lay on this massage chair table and then start placing hot water bags all over. Then the massages come from your head, neck, and arms. I would definitely come back just to get the reflexology massages which was so nice. Over all I just wanted a fast gel manicure at a reasonable price. I think I paid more for the massage then the nails. read more

Really nice and welcoming mani and pedi spa! With the real spa treatment! The are soo personalized and sweet people too. They are open sundays which is something so convenient for working people. Really going back soon! read more

Another great experience. Ed and Karen treat you like family. I arrived half hour before closing on Saturday evening and they didn't rush to get me out the door. I got great service and a fantastic massage. How much better can it get? read more

Finally my search has ended. I've been to many nail salons and have never liked any of them. I'd rather go to the dentist than get my nails done. But low and behold just a few short blocks from where I live I try Karen and Eddie's salon. What a pleasant and personal experience. They are husband and wife that not only work well together but are also very interested in their client. It is the first nail salon that actually talks to you and not about you. I felt very welcomed and they made my visit very relaxing. As a first time customer you receive a complimentary reflexology massage. They may not have all the bells and whistles that the other area salons offer but you have Karen and Eddie which the other salons don't have. Do your self a favor and give them a try. You won't be sorry. I'm so happy that I gave them a try. read more

Very nice people but I'm not sure she knows how to put on gel manicures. Every time she does mine, it starts peeling after 2 days cause she paints too close to the cuticles. But overall for anything else they should be okay. Very nice people and nice and quiet atmosphere. read more

Have been coming here for over a year and what an experience every single pedicure. It's a spa experience and I look forward to going every single time. If you enjoy the 3 minute massage most places will give you, you will be in heaven with the experience here. I leave feeling like a refreshed new person. read more

After reading all of the exceptional reviews I decided to go in for a pedicure and eyebrow waxing. WOW WOW WOW is all I can say! I went on my lunch and once they got me in the massage bed I didn't want to leave. I can this being a weekly visit to Karen and Ed for me- the reflexology massage Ed gave was exactly what I needed. It truly is a hidden gem that I'm so glad I found. I have finally found the perfect nail salon that exceeds my expectations and makes me feel at home. read more

Absolutely amazing service! And understood exactly how I wanted my nails! Highly recommend, although the place is a bit small.

Went here for the first time today. It was amazing. Karen and Edy have the most cozy little place. Although untraditional as far as pedicure goes they definitely have something special here. I would say it's a hidden gem in Carlstadt. I live two towns away and will be back. For $30 my calluses were removed, beautiful polish, and at least 40 mins of reflexology techniques were used. I was very impressed and think they are undercharging. They are such kind people and the place was very clean and relaxing. Everyone should be going here. I was also impressed that they knew all the regular customers by name upon entering. They definitely care about keeping their customers and know how to do it. read more

On my way now for a pedicure...and go almost weekly for manicures. It is not only a great place to get your nails done - but two of the nicest people you will ever meet. The services are great and Karen and Edy are the BEST! If you are anywhere near Carlstadt - be sure to check them out!! read more

Extremely friendly couple that runs this salon. It had a homey feel, but doesn't necessarily seem too clean. $30 for a pedicure which seems expensive until you realize you're getting a full reflexology treatment. Whole thing lasted about an hour and a half which was a bit too long for me. I loved how relaxed I felt but left a little sweaty, with an OKAY pedicure. Would recommend for reflexology, but not as a nail salon. read more

Unbelievable service.they go above and beyond any nail salon I've ever been to. The water pillow treatment was so relaxing. The owner knows her stuff and the prices are amazing. They make you feel like your in your own home .I will travel from NY to come here it's worth the trip read more

My daughter and I come here all the time. We love it. They are so sweet to my daughter, and our manicures last forever. You should check it out! N. read more

I feel bad leaving this review as the lady who did my nails was very sweet, but honestly this is the worst manicure I've ever had. I couldn't go to my regular nail tech since she is on maternity leave so I found this place close to my work, thinking it would be great to go to on my break. I received a CND Shellac gel manicure. First, oddly, she soaked my nails in cold soapy water. Not warm.Then I noticed she did not prep my nails at all before applying the gel polish. Usually the nails are gently buffed and a primer solution similar to rubbing alcohol should be applied to ensure proper adhesion. I didn't want to seem rude by questioning her so I let that go. When she was all done I did not receive the usual hand massage or hot towel treatment that you get with most salons with a manicure. Also, the coats of polish seemed very thick. When I got back to work I noticed that one of my nails had some bubbling in the polish. I nudged it a bit and it completely lifted. I was actually able to peel it off in almost one piece. That should not happen with a gel manicure that is prepped properly and cured for the proper amount of time. On some fingers there was gel polish also on the skin near my cuticles which caused them to lift. I was actually able to peel off everything. This was all not even an hour after I got it done. It peeled off so easily, like regular nail polish. WIth the cost and tip I literally gave my $30 away. I'll never go back there ;( read more

My wife's comment: Oh so relaxing! Not only you get your mani and pedi but also a nice relaxing pampering experience with the water bags treatment and reflexology. Karen and Ed are friendly and make sure you feel comfortable at all times. They even give you a bottle of water at the end of the service. Plan for a couple of hours to enjoy this service. I definitely recommend it. read more

Walked in this evening stressed and badly needing a pedicure. Left with pretty feet and relaxed thanks to the complimentary massage. This place isn't fancy but Kate. And Eddie take very good care of their clients. read more

I go here for threading and it's amazing, not really a long wait usually but near the holidays I recommend making appointments ahead of time, I highly recommend Afia she's phenomenal! read more

I've been going to charms nails for 11 years and I will never go anywhere else! You feel like home when you're there. Karen will always cater to what you want and Eddie is amazing with the massages, I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. It is nothing like any salon around here , the whole experience is personalized and you're not just another customer. Whether you come in for a quick appointment or want to settle down and relax after a hard day at work, charms nails will always leave you feeling satisfied! -aw read more

Amazing is never a word I use to describe a nail salon. Most make you feel mildly uncomfortable and self conscious in my opinion. Fear not! This is your answer if you've ever felt like that! Eddy and Karin are consummate professionals. From the moment you walk into their cozy salon with its understated decor you can tell they are not some cheap $5.99 discount salon. They take their time.. First I was greeted and Karin spent time going over my nails and very nicely pointed out what the previous butcher had done to my nails (last place I went to was HORRIBLE! Only went there because they were open on Sunday and I was desperate. See New Eve Nails. After a very private and refreshing soak, Karin expertly clipped and filed away careful of the ingrown nail courtesy of the previous salon. She explained how I could alleviate the problem. I was then escorted to a massage bed where I was treated to a reflexology session. While Karen painted my toes. I left there feeling like a million dollars. There is a reason why they have such high ratings. It's not some high end snooty or ritzy glam salon. Just a down to earth, clean and lovely atmosphere. You never feel rushed or like a number. Trust me, once you come here. You'll never go anywhere else! And as an added bonus, they are open on Sundays! read more

So I was in town for work and needed to get a pedicure. I went to 3 different place before this one and they were either closed or had a long wait. So I looked up on Yelp and saw charms and thought ok I'll try it. Well I walk in and I thought I was in the wrong place. There are no tables or pedicure stations it looks like someone's home. But a gentleman approached me and asked what I wanted and I told him a pedicure. They have a variety of colors so I picked it out and he brought me into a little room and I thought oh god where the hell am I. But a nice lady who I soon learned her name was Karen came in and started scrubbing me feet. They do not have the spa pedicure that I'm used to but it worked whatever it was. So after scrubbing me feet she told me she would finish up in the next room. I thought umm ok. Alright so I walk into the next room and there's a massage table that she tells me to get on and I'm thinking wtf. So I hop up there and the lady tells me to close my eyes. At this point I'm thinking they're going to drug me and steal my money and throw me in a back alley but it was nothing like that. Karen painted my nails while Ed (the guy) massaged my neck. Now this was probably the weirdest, funniest, most enjoyable experience of getting my nails done I've ever had in my life. I honestly thought it was a joke that this guy was massaging me like I was at the damn spa, but hell I'll take it. I couldn't stop laughing as they placed a hot water bag on my stomach and what I thought was a nut sac on my head but turned out to be some hot bean bags. Any ways he massaged my feet, legs, arms, neck, he even got a head scratcher out and took out my pony tail to massage my scalp. If you have at least an hour and a half to spare and want a good chuckle (because I had no idea what was going on) please go see these lovely people. Most relaxing experience and only $25 although I gave them a pretty nice tip. But seriously it is the strangest place but totally worth it. read more
