Kim charged me an additional $20 to take off my nails. I guess she forgot I have been going to her salon to get my nails done for the past 4 months so she decided to over charge me.

Well... I generally don't like writing bad reviews but here is why I have to. I came in requesting to have an acrylic set removed. I spoke to one woman who translated it to the woman who was to do my nails. My nail tech looked at the nails, flipped my hands over to examine and then said "cut nail". I said yes remove acrylic set, she said no and repeated cut nail. This went on for a few minutes and I grew confused b/c she's saying the same thing plus things I can't understand b/c she's speaking in another language. I think it was Korean but I'm not 100%. Either way I didn't understand. The one who speaks a bit more English came over and explained the nail tech wants to clip the acrylic down to my natural nails since they had grown out a bit. I agreed. The issues ensued after. She clipped and then started with the drill tip to shave down the acrylic. She started going too fast and the sander would jump from my nail to the skin and I would pull back my hands as this hurts. She pulls my hands back, says something and continues. I explained to her to go slower so she has more control/precision to stay on the nail and NOT on my skin above. That fell on deaf ears. It happened over and over again until I pulled both hands away from her, paused and explained yet again to not go over my skin with the sharp shaving metal peace. The translator came over and I expressed the concern. The relayed the message and the nail tech said sorry and got back to it. And we went back to the same thing of her going too fast and hurting my skin. I was beyond frustrated by that time. The one star comes for the painful results. She shaved down not only the acrylic but also my natural nails so much, you can see how thin the nail is and how close it is to the nail bed. My fingers are red and everything is brittle. It hurts to hold anything tightly with my fingers b/c I barely have any fingernails to protect the nerves. All of this is a result of not listening to my concerns. It's like she didn't care how it came out or how it would make me feel. She just wanted it to be over with. That's terrible customer service. I live in NYC so I've seen all types of customers & service ppl. Lack of attention & disregard for the customer is what makes it bad customer service. You can see my nails before and after.

The manicurist was very detail oriented. And they were really helpful in helping me find the perfect color. I'm very picky so their patience with my indecisiveness put me at ease. I'll definitely be going back again soon.

Gel manicure

I have been going to the owner - Kim for over 8 years and followed her from her old salon in Nutley. I'm a perfectionist and believe me when she was in the process of moving salons and wasn't open - I was forced to try many other salons. And NONE compared to her. She is clean, professional, and pays attention to detail. My nails are always the perfect shape and done to perfection. Go see Kim, you will be hooked !!!

Nail designs !!

After a long quarantine due to Covid19, I finally got my nails done. They had new variety of nail designs so I tried different kinds (sticker, flowers, glitters) and really loved them !! Also, the store looked very clean with respect to regulations on Covid19.

Messy pedi

Very disappointed in my last visit. The tech for my pedicure rushed through the process. Honestly, it was as though she could hardly wait to finish with me and get on to the next client. Not at all relaxing. And my manicure has not held up. I couldn't help but notice that she failed to brush the top edge of my nails with the topcoat as usual. When I got home and took a closer look at my pedicure there was polish all along the skin of my toes. Sloppy job.

Best nail art in town!!! Love my 4th of July nails!

I have been coming here for at least eight years now and continue to be impressed by the excellent…read morejob they do on my nails- both feet and hands. The salon is kept very clean, the staff is friendly, and the quality of manicures, pedicures, and waxing is top-notch. I often get a gel manicure that involves two colors- with a half moon design from the cuticle up in one of the colors, and the rest of the nail in the second one, and always come out very pleased with the results. The design comes out very evenly on each nail, and the attention to detail and perfection is quite impressive. I highly recommend this place for a mani, pedi, or wax appointment as the level of service is second to none.

I stopped in about 15 minutes before they opened and they were kind enough to take me right away,…read morewhich I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience wasn't great. I asked for a basic manicure with no color, but I left feeling disappointed. My nails actually looked worse than when I came in. They were scratched up with file marks, my cuticles were still showing, and my hands were never soaked in warm water like I've had done at other salons. One finger even ended up bleeding. When it came time to pay, I was also asked to tip in cash, which felt uncomfortable. I paid $20 and left feeling like I needed to go fix my nails somewhere else. Definitely not what I was expecting and I won't be going back.

At Victorian Nails and Spa, you truly feel like you're not just at any nail salon, but a salon…read morethat has pushed the limits to really create a relaxing "spa" experience. First of all, it is incredibly clean here and all the workers are not just respectable, but also very friendly. They have a large variety of regular and gel nail polishes available of both classic and trendy colors. I feel incredibly relaxed everytime I come here. If you have the time, I really recommend the "Spa Pedicures". They involve various steps that include deep cleaning, exfoliating, hydrating, and massaging of your feet and lower legs. I find that they're really worth the extra dollars and they add to the overall "spa" experience of coming to this salon. I also wonder if some of the workers here have taken massage classes. The foot massages I have had with the "Spa Pedicures" have really been excellent, incredibly rejuvinating and healing on the pressure points of my feet. Likewise, I've had some really great mini upper back massages here while waiting for my nails to dry! I think my experiences here are ultimately due to how "above and beyond" the owner and workers go in order to make this salon feel like a haven in which one can hide away and pamper during a stressful day.
