Absolutely terrible manicure and even worse customer service.

Terrible service and terrible manicure. Left without getting the planned pedicure as my nails turned out so bad. Would stay far away from here especially when there's so many local options.

3 weeks after getting a gel manicure

This is the best place to go for gel manicures and especially pedicures. The owners are the best people in the world and truly know how to do more than just paint your nails. Sam personally has healed so many of my leg and knee injuries from marathon training with the reflexology pedicure. They also offer 10 min massage for $15 which has healed my neck so many times. Point is they care and are always giving their best quality to each client. My gel manicures always last until i go back. Ill never go anywhere else. This picture is after 3 weeks for my gel manicure

They always do a great job and the massages are so nice. It's ran by a lovely couple who actually care about their customers and give the best customer service! After finding this place I don't go anywhere else :)

Pedicure time!

The man doing my pedicure did a great job! I think they're doing a great with COVID regulations because they require you to wash your hands before doing a service. Right now it's appointment only . Staff was very friendly.

Gel manicure chipped after 1 day.

I paid $80 for a gel manicure and pedicure. The service was extremely rushed. My curicles weren't clipped and my nails weren't buffed. They used the electric filer for everything. And as you can see in the pictures my gel manicure is chipping after 1 day. The owners were nice and gave a great massage with my pedicure which is why I gave 2 stars.

Best massage I've ever had during a pedicure. This really is a cozy spot to get your nails done. $35 for a pedicure.

This is a small, conveniently located salon in downtown Princeton. I work nearby and used to get…read morehaircuts with Nicole, who's excellent at what she does: professional, consistent, and easy to talk to. For a while, it was my go-to spot. Unfortunately, I stopped going after a negative experience with one of the front desk staff (a male receptionist). I had to reschedule a same-day appointment, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I understand that salons try to avoid last-minute changes, especially when schedules are tight. That said, Nicole had plenty of open slots that day, so it didn't seem like a major issue. What really made me decide to stop coming back wasn't the rescheduling policy - it was his attitude. Rude, condescending, and unnecessarily passive aggressive, especially considering this was the first time I'd rescheduled in years. The tone and way it was handled felt unprofessional and left a bad impression. Since then, I've been going to Cosmo Blue, just a few blocks away, and the experience has been better. Friendly staff, professional service, and no attitude. A colleague of mine recently mentioned having a similarly unpleasant interaction with the same receptionist (different issue, same bad attitude), which prompted me to finally write this review. It's a shame, because Nicole does great work, but the front desk experience matters too.

The best salon in Princeton. Every time I go I leave the place happy. They are great!…read more Emily is my hairdresser, love her! I recommend it to all my friends and family

Cosmo Bleu is next to a consignment shop and bubble tea place, on the "other" side of Nassau. The outside awning looks a little dated, but the interior seemed clean and not as old looking as I had expected from other reviews. Aguri did a great job with my hair and was really fun to chat with. The head massage during the shampoo was really relaxing, and she listened to what I was looking for before making her own suggestions. I just wanted to trim my bob without looking like a puffball (I have a round face, and Asian hair protests against volume), and she did just that while restyling my layers. It's been about a month since then, and my hair still looks good (with maybe one area that's grown out a bit flippy). I'm not sure if I'll be totally changing stylists quite yet, but Aguri has gained my trust.

***I went for eyebrow waxing and not manicure/nail services***…read more It was okay for $12. The set up is weird: the table that you lay on is in the corner so the person waxing your brows has to stand on one side and can't really see them side by side. The woman who did my brows was diligent and took a lot of time cleaning them up (not good for those who are in a rush but I was in no hurry). I had asked her to shape my brows so that they were even since one of them is thicker than the other, but since she was standing on one side I don't think she noticed that she had left quite a few hairs on one side. When I pointed it out she immediately fixed it. She put a very soothing balm (not lotion) on my brows after and said it was to help with the redness and prevent any sunburn. I am a woman of color so I don't usually get sunburned, but I appreciated her concern lol Side note: because the table was in a corner she had to lean over me and lightly rest her hands/forearm on my upper body. It didn't really bother me but be warned that they'll be really close to you. I wouldn't be opposed to going here again if I was in a bind. It has a very relaxed feel to it and isn't that posh like other salons in the area. I probably wouldn't get my nails done here though, I prefer them to be done in a posh salon ‍

This has been extremely painful and required a double dose of antibiotics as the doctor was extremely concerned it could develop into sepsis, which can be life threatening. It spread very fast into my blood stream which made the doctor advise me that I may need to to Princeton hospital ER and go on an antibiotic IV drip. I will lose my nail in due course and may have damaged the nail bed. Even worse even though the owner and the son admitted responsibility and apologised, she told me it has happened a few times before. I would hate anyone else to experience this. I asked them to reassure me other customers would not be at risk and this has not happened.

Before Covid, they used to serve you which I wish they still did but I get it. I go to Johnny or Lisa and I absolutely love my nails sets. My nails have grown so long. I know they look fake, but they're mine in most of the photos I started with tips then they grew out with the sculpting gel on top. Right now only one is fake cause I use it to open soda cans cause it keeps breaking off but that's on me. The atmosphere is great. I love that. They offer a shoulder back massage while you are getting your nails done first 1 min free then after $15 ever 10 mins. Everybody is really really nice and accommodating. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for. This is my treat to myself.

I came here based on reviews, I stick to a few people and my nails always come out great. If you show a photo of a color they help you find it, they're not that talkative but they're kind and attentive. The gal who welcomes you is always very nice and she keeps it all in order! It might seem rude to not have walk ins always available but they are peaceful and not chaotic like other salons and that's totally part of the experience! I would highly recommend them! Just look at photos and pick someone based on their style. Totally worth it!!
