Deep cut
Gladys P.

I was really hoping to like this place as I have been having difficulty find the right place. I went for a uv gel with color gel manicure and pedicure. At first glance, the is very dated, which makes it look filthy but definitely could use a good dusting. The pedi is great with a free callous remover, the gel manicure started out ok until the manicurist decided to remove my cuticles, which I truly appreciate, however, not the deep cut to my finger. It took 30 minutes for the bleeding to stop even after the manicurist (assuming owner) put a band aid on. She was constantly distracted with the phones ringing and other clients coming and speak with the other employees. As she used the drill she cut 3 more times on different fingers. I don't understand the busy activity here or the great reviews. It just may be the reasonable prices. Needless to say that I won't return.

Love this place!

Went here for a gel manicure. Love this place..They take their time and results are awesome! Very reasonable cost, quick and efficient!

Less than 24 hours and a nail broke already.
Kiymet L.

UPDATE: since this morning... another nail broke... awesome. Waste of $55 Original post: Went here for the first time yesterday because it was conveniently open on Sundays. Read some reviews before coming and felt okay probably not bad. They took me in right away and the woman was very sweet and a man did my nails. I had a full set from my previous place and specifically asked if it's possible to do a fill in. They said yes no problem and I specifically said, If it'll be better if I take all the nails off, I will pay extra to take them off and do a full new set. They said no problem we will do a fill in. Okay. Cool.. now he started my nails and realized I had tips on which is what I told them at first and I said listen if it's gonna be a problem take them off and do a full new said. He said no problem. I said ok fine let me trust him he's the professional. So he filed my nails and started to cut them with a regular nail cutter. Mind you, my nails are long and tips are very hard. So he cuts them and basically breaks 75% of them. I say again.. if it's better to take them off then take them off. He still says no. He puts UV gel to extend the broken nails and I said... İsn't that gonna break?? He says no they're very strong and it won't break. (fyi, it's been less than 24 hours and one of the nails he extended with the UV gel already broke... See picture I posted.) So I'm still there it's been 2 hours already, he shaped them really nicely.. and to the length that I wanted. He cut my cuticle but that always happens to me so I'm not complaining about that at all. Then he starts to paint my nails... Lol So, I'm getting gel nail polish... He didn't put a base coat which I'm normally used to... and He uses such little nail polish that a darker pink color you can see through the tip of my nail in the light. I've never seen someone use such little nail polish in my life. I also told him there's a dent on one of my nails from the UV and he just put another layer of nail polish on it but didn't realize it's a dent not a streak. Anyway. The staff is super nice and all but they need to: 1. Get a new nail cutter for curved nails (only $5 at Walgreens). 2. Use more nail polish to avoid transparency and streaking. Really hope no more of my nails break. I'm super upset.

Not impressed with the rushed job on my mani. Lots of paint on my cuticles and tiny air bubbles on my nails too

If you like a no frills salon, you should go here. The place isn't too big, with 5 pedicure chairs. When I walked in for a mani, 2 women looked at each other as if neither of them wanted to help me. I was seated at a table with a bag of donuts on it (eww, not impressed already), and a man proceeded with my mani. Another issue I had here was, he didn't put down a paper towel on the table under my hands to catch the nail clippings. I asked to have my nails cut, and he did a good job. But now that I'm home I can notice that the corners of my nails are a bit sharp. He applied oil to cuticles on one hand but I guess he forgot or was rushing so much that he neglected my other hand. When he rushed through putting lotion on, it felt like literally 10 seconds per hand! I've never had a mani feel this rushed! I'd only go back here in an emergency if other places were closed.

Slightly pricey for ok work. I did like the pedicure ($20) regular polish. They did a lot of scrubbing, massages, etc. more than what other places do. The powder manicure ($30) a bit disappointing. Had a few cuts and scrapes I noticed as I felt the sting of the nail cleaner on all the fingers and the tip of a very short nail. Some nails have perfect shape others seem to bubble/round weird not like a normal nail shape. It's ok for last min. I'll have to try out their gel and regular and see if it's better work.

Ok so I decided to give this place a try, because it's right by my job LITERALLY and my neighbors go there and said it was decent .. ALSO Spa one, where I normally go is SUPER expensive.. At first look it really doesn't look clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eye... I'm not bougie (WHO AM I KIDDING, YES I AM :)).. I went in on a Friday holiday weekend !! They took me right away.. The polish color selection was a little lack luster and looked pretty old, but since I was getting a French gel Mani and regular pedicure it didn't really bother me... The pedi was really well done and as per my last Spa experience you know .. I REALLY LIKE MY CUTICLES TAKEN CARE OF she did a great job of that , they also include callous removal in the price of the regular pedicure!!!! My Gel French mani came out beautifully and again she really got all the cuticles.. I was very pleased, I scheduled my follow up appointment 40$ saved... Thanks Roxana, you did a sista well ;-)

Susan did a fabulous manicure for my son's wedding.
Donna M. G.

I have been coming here for about 10 months and am extremely happy. Both Susan and Veronica are excellent. My son got married last week & Susan told me to bring a picture. She nailed it (no pun intended!). I was very happy with the price also. This manicure & French pedicure for $55. Great price.

My old salon just wasn't giving me the A+ treatment. I wanted a change. Based on the positive feedback here on Yelp I took a chance. I walked in and was greeted by a man and a woman. Both welcoming me in the salon with a warm Hello. I was there for a manicure & pedicure and was placed immediately in the large comfy massage chair. The young man started to draw the foot water, surprised that he was indeed giving me the pedicure. But OK, I'm game. Ladies, let me tell you... not only was his touch gentle, but this was by far THE BEST pedicure I have had in my life. After soaking in the warm bath, and trimming the nails and cuticle, He wrapped my feet in saran wrap with a lotion and then gently but firmly massaged and used an exfoliate scrub on my legs and feet, along with a deep tissue massage and hot stones! (this is all included in a regular pedicure) So impressed I then was switched over to the chair where the young lady gave me my manicure. There was no skimping here either. Constantly checking my nails to make sure they were all even. Again a warm hand and arm massage, and after polish a neck and shoulder massage. All of this was just $27 Then I was handed a card, after 9 manicures the 10th is free. I will continue to go to this Salon. Great service, friendly staff, very clean, and very affordable.

My own julep nail polish. Love my new nails!

This place is right across the street from my apartment so it's so convenient and I'm glad. I've been here 3 times; twice for mani/pedi $25. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I didn't like my mani as much and the nail polish did not last as long as I expected. But I would give 10 stars for the pedicure if I could. Luckily 2 out of the 3 times I went there it was empty so the older gentleman spent a great deal on me. And the massage was just heavenly. I just felt SO relaxed at the end of it! I just wished he would cut my toe nails shorter; I hate having long toe nails and mine grow unbelievably fast. On a side note, it was kinda weird at first cuz he reminded me of my dad but my dad would NEVER give me a pedicure. Then I enjoyed it more cuz I pretended it was my dad on his hands and knees doing my nails LOL I have been telling everyone about this place cuz it's so conspicuous as I only noticed it almost 6 months after moving into my current apt. Definitely recommend the older gentleman especially for pedicure.

This Gel pedicure is by Wilson, I walked in at 6:30pm and they took me in and he took his time with me and even though all the other employees had left he finished with a nice massage and with the hot stones, I loved it!!!

I live in the area and have been looking for a new salon so based off the reviews, I decided to check it out The pedicure is AMAZING!! The callous remover did a good job, got a leg scrub and a hot stone massage...all for $18!! The manicure I wasn't as impressed with. The acrylic application was sloppy and wasn't very efficient with the filing but as long as you speak up and say what you prefer, it's fine. The people are very friendly and nice and even give you a little massage after you're done. I'll definitely come back. It wasn't crowded, the prices are fair and once they get to know what I like, it will be smooth sailing

Tried this salon for the first time yesterday and so glad I did. I was so tired of trying to explain how I like my acrylic nails to the overpriced salons in the Nutley/Lyndhurst area. The pedicure was AMAZING. This was the regular pedicure and it felt like a spa pedicure. I can't wait to go back for my next pedi. Very relaxing. The girl that ended up doing my acrylic new set listened to what I wanted. This is a big deal for me because I am very particular about how I like my nails. I naturally have a wider nail bed and I don't like my nails to look chunky or thick. She took her time and did a great job. I would recommend you go when you have the time for a full set or fill in. Manicures seem to go quicker naturally based on what I saw while I was there but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED hidden gem of a place. Look forward to my next visit. Thank you ladies for a great experience yesterday.

I went today for the first time and they did a great job. She listened to what I wanted and asked.she kept asking me is that ok?" Do you you like it?" Simple questions like that make a difference. She really make sure I was happy with my results and shape. She even showed me pictures of what kind of shape I wanted.

NOPE! Charged me $35 for a polish change. Gel polish they put on chipped within 6 days. Go somewhere else if you can.

The pedicure had a thorough scrub, a hot stone massage, and I am being honest when I say this is the best my nails have looked in years!

If you're thinking about getting a gift certificate from here I would ask what the policy is. I was…read moregiven a gift certificate from a friend for my birthday that expired a week after it was given to me and didn't know that when I went to use it in November. They didn't tell me it was expired while I was there, let me use half of it, then crossed out the expiration date and made it a date in expire 10/30/25. I was unaware they back-dated it because I was in a hurry to put it in my pocket since I was in rush. Fast forward to today, I went to use it and obviously it wasn't honored because of that new date. I understand that it expired and of course I'm fine not using it since it's completely my fault. It was just the most bizarre experience because 1. No one mentioned it was expired the first time I was there (which I would have been fine paying for my pedicure if someone explained that to me instead writing in a new date so couldn't use it again) Also I'm just not sure why they would give me back a gift certificate that I can't use anymore or never mention that it was expired. 2. What kind of place has a 1 week or 1 month expiration date? (Thinking about it I'm wondering if it the date a typo since it was handwritten because most places around here have a 1 year expiration date when I buy them or am gifted them.) Also my nails were different lengths and the polish I used developed white spots on top (it was a light purple) With so many wonderful places in Montclair, I would definitely consider buying a gift certificate somewhere else with a longer expiration date, a more clear policy, or somewhere that will take the time to explain these dates and policies if you have an issue like I did if you are looking to purchase a gift.

Just found this nail salon in Upper Montclair. The reviews were great. I went today and it was…read morefabulous. The nail technician, Rosa, was excellent. The best nail service I've had since moving back to NJ. In fact, I've already recommended to three friends of mine immediately at leaving the shop. The shop is so comfortable, peaceful and welcoming. I'm definitely a new repeat customer. YAY!!!
