I have been looking for a new place to get my nails done and this is definitely it. Super super clean, affordable, timely, and good reception too. They even have an ATM if you forget cash for a tip! Definitely will return, if my nails ever grow back again. It's like a whole thing. read more

Continues to be a great salon.. Professional friendly staff and a very clean storefront with new trending colors for each season. The best... read more

This place is completely overpriced! They wanted to charge me $160 for a gel pedi and a full set. $60 for the pedi and $100 for the set. that is completely unacceptable. When I asked for a price they looked around at eachother and it seemed like they just made one up. ridiculous. read more

Trap Nail Shop I would never recommend this salon ,if that's what you wanna to call it. I called and made a appointment to get my nails powder dipped She did not have many colors and then she proceeded to tell me that they don't do this often I left out very unhappy my nails looked horrible. I not only went once but twice then the third time the owner told me to come back and she would treat me to a pedicure when I got there she told me I would have to pay for gel when that's all I wear is gel I told her I will never come back to this trap salon. Her workers do not know how to apply dip to the nails then you would think as a owner that she would step in and apply it but no she kept pointing me off to her employees I would never recommend her shop to anyone. read more

Excellent service. Was a walk in and got a Great pedicure from Nancy! I also had a wonderful gel manicure. Will be going back in the future!! read more

Terrible experience there. Was told in the phone that a bikini wax was $30 only to learn once naked and on the table that that only covered half of the area, that it would require $10 more not to have a half assed job. Then proceeded to get a mani-pedi that was $47. I tipped the girl $20. Gave it about an hour to dry between getting my nails done and dried at the station. Came home to big toes completely smudged, this after the manicurist sprayed me with drying agent three times. Seriously overpriced and amateurish. When I complained to the manager about my experience with the wax bait and switch she told me that "she didn't want to argue." Don't go there. Such a rip off and management could care less about my experience. read more

Nice clean salon but the staff was very rude I arrived at 10am as a walk-in 3 staff members and 1 other customer they acted as if they we being inconvenienced I came in for a mani and pedi from 10am to 11:30 am there were no additional customers $114 for services that were sub par and I left with polish all over my fingers I was not even offered to join their rewards program or 10% off first time customer Pennington/Hopewell has the worst nail salons I will try Aloha Nails next I will never return read more

I went to Dolce Nail Salon since I was nearby and wanted to get my nails done with my friend. I am EXTREMELY angry because the people working took complete advantage of me and my friend, being that we were the only people in there and we are teenagers. I was charged 85 dollars for a set of acrylic gel nails and also specifically asked for no gel. My friend was charged 100 dollars for a full set of French tip acrylics. These prices are absolutely insane and nobody should be spending this much money on nails, especially when they aren't satisfactory. This nail salon was super disappointing and I will not be going back. These workers took complete advantage of us. I would love to put zero stars, but unfortunately I am unable to. read more

Very confused how a acrylic fill was 60$ then an extra 10$ to replace a nail. Asked for a pricing sheet and they didn't have one?..... if a place is going to charge that amount could you please have a sheet for pricing. Staff is kind. But overall for the price and lack of amenities I will not be returning. read more

My friend and I both got acrylic sets and I was charged $100 for a full set of french tip nails. I specified I did not want gel when I was given options while making my appointment, and when I arrived I was not asked which I wanted and they did gel without asking. I left with crooked nails and extremely dissatisfied with what I received for the amount of money I was charged. I know multiple other people who have gone here and were only charged $60 for a full set, while my friend was still charged $85 for a full set. We were completely taken advantage of because we are teenage girls and no other patrons were in the salon at the time. Please have standard prices for the services as it should not change depending on the age of your customer. I will NOT be returning back or recommending this salon to anyone. read more

I visited Dolci Nails yesterday with my 90'year old mom. She was in need of a pedicure very badly! Susan was amazing with her. She was kind, gentle, and made her feel completely comfortable. Susan always has a smile on her face and is passionate about the work she does. My moms toes looked beautiful when Susan was done with her! Thank you to Susan and to all the caring and kind people who work at Dolci! They have a,ways been respectful caring and a fun group of workers. They also all do an amazing job on your nails, Visited last week and Susan did my many and pedi. Susan is the best! The kindness and compassion she showed me was sincere. Thank you Susan and all the employees at Dolci. You understand what customer service is all about! read more

I went today for my 1st Mani/mini spa pedi in over a year since moving to NJ last year. I highly recommend Dolce Nail Salon. Owned and operated by a mother and daughter...they are very professional, COVID safe, very clean, friendly and efficient. Don't miss out on a little time for yourself...once again. read more

The salon is clean and the employees are relatively friendly. There are a lot of service options. The pedicure chairs look really nice and it did seem like they take great care to keep everything sanitary. However, the pricing is absurd. $35 for a gel manicure and $12 for an eyebrow waxing is totally out of line with the norms for these services. I am also frustrated because my gel manicure chipped the same day it was done. I went back to have it fixed and they did fix it, free of charge. However, another nail chipped again the next day! I don't have time to keep coming back. For a $35 gel manicure, I would expect it to last at least a week. They also do not offer powder here which typically stays on longer. If you cannot provide a quality gel manicure, at least offer powder! read more

I'm from New York...Home of nail salons as far as the eye can see. Although pricier than the costs in New York, the welcoming feel and excellent customer service was well worth it. I came in with my cousin and mother and their salon is very hygienic. Alexandra did my nails and feet and she was very detailed-oriented, despite speaking very little English, and she didn't rush me. The boss came by more than once to ensure she was doing a great job...it was a very different experience than back in, plus very peaceful and spacious. When I visit family here in Lambertville again, this will be my go-to spot. read more

Dolce Nail Salon and Spa - Very neat and well done - Hair Removal Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

Have been going there for awhile and if I don't get a pedicure as well or a regular manicure as a opposed to a gel they try to talk me into the more expensive one. I get it's their business but it goes overboard to extremely pushy and rude. Also, it's overpriced and they try to give you a higher number then when I said that is wrong math, she just said okay, no sorry or anything. They were hoping that I just didn't think about it and took what she said. To me, that is just untrustworthy and bad business. I will not be going back there. Very disappointed. read more

I've been to Dolce Nail a couple of times since my freshman year of college and I can honestly say that my experience at this salon is by far the best experience I've had at any other nail salons nearby me at home. They're super attentive to detail and they genuinely share in such good conversation with you that it makes you immediately comfortable. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because the last time I was here, they cut my nails to a shorter length than I had asked. read more

Dolce Nail Salon and Spa - Hair Removal Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

Honestly great place, beautiful ambience honestly had such a great conversation with my nail tech Zulema and made the time pass by. The owner gave a breakdown how sns wasn't so great for nails, and to take a break from them. Zulema took the time to take care of them since one of them was broken and left me with a great manicure! read more

I loveeee everything and everyone merry Christmas good bless welcome back to dolce everyone thanks you very much harry new year

I went on Thursday to get a mani pedi before heading back to school this week. I woke up on Friday to my big toe throbbing, which has turned into a red, swollen, infected mess since then. I would think twice before going to this salon. I've never gotten an infection from a pedicure before, but it is so painful and I'm frustrated that I spent $60 and now have to spend time and money this week at urgent care. Update: after 10 days of antibiotics I had to go to the podiatrist and get most of my toenail removed. I'm in the most pain I've ever been in and it's not worth a pedicure. read more

Bummed to see the bad reviews because I've had nothing but pleasant experiences at Dolce. Although, I haven't been in while since moving out of the area. Prices are a little higher than I've seen elsewhere and yes, there is typically a wait so I definitely recommend making an appointment ahead of time. I also always request Sue and/or Julie for my gel manicure and (regular) pedicure. Sometimes they even give you a quick shoulder massage while your nails are drying :) read more

Arrived at 6:45 last night; was helped immediately. The clinician was friendly, worked quickly but thoroughly! Pedicure looks great!

The place is nice and clean and the girl who did my pedicure was great but the pricing is ridiculous. My friend and I were charged $70 for a pedicure each when we went in over Memorial Day weekend. We did get talked into the "spa" pedicure but the price on the wall for a regular pedicure was under $40 and we certainly didn't get almost double the service. The prices are not marked anywhere and we had already received the service so I couldn't really argue. I did question her when she gave me the price because she seemed to be making it up but she confirmed it. Completely felt taken advantage of. read more

Great environment, very clean, nice staff! I get a gel manicure which has lasted me over two weeks! I love the detail they put into making my nails immaculate. I'm Very excited to go back to get my long lasting manicure! read more

OOOOWWWW! My pedicure was painful. When a nail technician says "I'm sorry" over 10 times, you know there's a problem. A true samurai with a cuticle cutter. Go elsewhere. Save your feet!! read more

After exhausting all nail salons in my area, I knew I had to go look at locations further away from my home. I may have had to travel 30 minutes to get to this salon and spa, but it was worth it! Not only is everyone there extremely pleasant and friendly, but they listened to what I wanted instead of just doing whatever and rushing me out like I have experienced at every other salon and spa in my immediate area. I will continue to be traveling the 30 minute ride to Dolce. My nails are beautiful and they took great care of them when I let me be aware of having very weak nails from bitting my nails in years past and just up until 6 months ago. During this visit, I only got a gel manicure with two different colors so it was $40 instead of their usual $35, however I am going this weekend again for a pedicure and bringing my mother for a manicure since we have been both desperately looking for a salon that will be worth every penny and then some! Cannot wait to continue to go here every two weeks for as long as they are around! read more

This place has pros and cons. It is definitely the cleanest and well-kept place in the area, and the staff is generally very friendly, providing a nice atmosphere. However, if you are going for a mani/pedi and don't have 2 hours to spend, go somewhere else. Like any place, there are a combination of skills between staff members, but the difference here is exponential. The highly requested workers provide higher quality nails and are much faster than others. Therefore, if you do not request someone specific, you could end up being there for a very long time, with a lower quality service. One of the most appealing qualities about this salon is their customer service. They will do their best to give you what you want without giving you a hard time, which is more that I can say for many other places. They have even stayed later for me just to finish my nails. Granted, I had already been there for almost 2 hours, but that's neither here nor there. If I'm in a rush, I go somewhere else. If I have the time to spend and want a nice atmosphere, I go to this place. read more

Pretty much paid 35 dollars for a paint job my 8 year old could have done. Rushed through the pedicure. Had to get help from another tech to do a basic design. Not worth it at all. If your going to charge as much as you do... at least know how to do more than painting a nail one color. I can get a full spa pedicure where I usually go for 5 dollars more and it's an hour long and perfect. They charge 55 for a basic acrylic refill w gel polish. Not to mention nobody knows what their doing. Everyone talks back and forth fighting over who's taking the next client " why can't you do it I already did one" etc. not welcoming. Overpriced. I had the same experience a few months ago. Wanted to give it another try since I understand sometimes people have a day... and I moved to the area in October... and this was so close to my house. It's a shame. I have no problem paying top dollar for good service ... but I'd rather drive an hour to my old place after this experience. I will not be back. read more

Dolce Nail Salon and Spa - Hair Removal Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

Really bad. Have gone several times and have gotten bad gel manicures. The staff is so entirely disinterested in what they are doing. read more

To preface, I came in not for myself but for the purpose of buying a gift card the day before Mother's Day. What I encountered was a clean, classy and relaxing atmosphere with multiple clients (including men!) enjoying an array of services. I was soon approached by a professional young woman named Jessica, who, after a brief intro remembered not only my mother's name but also her preferences. In a matter of minutes I went from clueless to clear about what to get. The level of service I encountered made a real impression as it alluded to the quality of service my mom had been given in the past and that she would continue to receive in the future. read more

I first came to Dolce in search for the perfect pedicurist because I have some jacked up toes. I need someone with skill to remove my ingrowing nails without causing too much discomfort or make me bleed! After visiting many nail salons in the Pennington/Ewing area I couldn't find anyone better than Johanna at Dolce Nail Salon! She does an amazing job every single time and doesn't rush through it like most nail personnel do. She is the reason I keep coming back to Dolce! The contemporary and bright decor adds some character to the salon that I enjoy. Jessica (the manager?) is always pleasant and greets you as soon as you walk in the door and makes sure you've been attended to as quickly as possible. If you come during mid morning and early/mid afternoon, it's going to be crowded no matter where you go. Make an appointment early morning or late evening will be your best bet to reduce your wait time. read more

See all

This place is decent. I think it's gross and unnecessarily cheap that they don't use towels for their pedicures but instead use paper towels. It just feels grimy that the only thing between your wet feet and where everyone else's wet feet is a soaked paper towel. Competition is too stiff around here for me to come back unless that changes. Otherwise good. Recommend for manicures. read more

Best mani pedi I've ever had, and I've been to many ... I'm very picky ! They take their time and make you feel special , very long massage for pedicure and manicure too ! They even come massage your shoulders .. Very good job , definitely going here from here on out . read more

I've been going for a years and take my daughters as well. We primarily get pedicures and they've always done a great job. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. As many have stated, the shop is very clean. Of course the place is crowded on weekends and you'll have to wait a bit. That's a good sign! I go during the week now and always get in quickly. read more

I've been here a handful of times and every time have had a great experience! Yes sometimes you have to wait but that's like that at many nail salons. Price isn't bad either compared to others in the area. read more

First time going to this salon in years, over all very friendly, clean and barely any wait time at all. I came in for a pedicure, which was not as long or good as I expected after seeing some other reviews. I've paid less and gotten more out a pedicure at other salons. read more

Started going to Dolce two years ago. A large, clean and very friendly place. Excellent service, a great place to get a mani/pedi!

I walked in at 7pm when they close at 7:30pm and they refused to do my nails until I need them. As I sat down she tried to tell me to keep my nails the same shape it's an extra $5! Why? They are already shaped... makes no sense. Then she told me for a fill and one nail repair it would be $65! What are they made of crystal? I got a full set here one time for $50. I think they were mad I made them stay at their job until closing. NEVER coming back... read more

The quality of my manicures and pedicures is right on par with my favorite salon (Nail Dimension), but the whole experience was kinda blah. The place is loud, bright, colorful, crowded. It wasn't relaxing at all, which is half of the reason I go for a mani/pedi in the first place. read more

$50 for a full set, wth?! I've had better manicures for a better price, and I had been bounced between 2 different stylists. read more

My favorite nail salon! The staff always makes sure to get to know you and make you feel welcome. I've never had a bad experience and I always come out with a fantastic mani-pedi! read more
