I've given this place a few try's for both regular gel and UV gel. All I can say is it's been nothing but a waste of money and time. My nails are sore from how rough they were filed. They're so hideous I called a different local salon to get them fixed ASAP. I do not reccomend... clearly read more

They definitely did a good job first and foremost But for a full set why would it take 3 hours??? One tech started me (jenna) then her client came in and i was left to sit in a chair for almost 30 minutes with globs of gel on my nails. I finally spoke up and they said oh 10 more minutes. I just feel like for $80 procedure i shouldnt be waiting around that long like if ur overbooked its fine just say so! Walkins kept coming in that they kept accepting too, meanwhile they also had to wait like 30+ minutes. I would totally come back for a fill if i know it wont be hours and hours of SLOW work. Helen finished me, she was nice, i would see her again or jenna. read more

I was Nailed at Dream Nails and loved it. Ashley's work speaks for itself and the prices are reasonable. I was on time for my Sunday morning appointment, I was serviced immediately and left happy. My standard pedicure had a cute touch of a quick massage with some type of warming stone. My gel manicure went pretty quick even with my cute nail art suggested by Ashley. My only requirement was that it looked super pretty, still look appropriate when it grows out and the color combination. She came up with the creative. I appreciated that she did not file down my nail beds before adding the gel, I feel like that step weakens the nail and can be extremely uncomfortable. I was also able to find street parking with no problem. The shop is cozy, has several colors to choose from and offers other services such as massage and waxing. read more

Lila is the best! Wouldn't get my nails done anywhere else. prices are fair and I always love my gel extensions.

Absolutely love having my nails done here! So clean and friendly every time. I never leave disappointed, always comes out beautiful. Thank you Ashley read more

Dream Nails & Spa - Bring some nail inspiration or have them design something on the spot! I couldn't choose so they recommended cotton balls! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

A friend recommended I visit this salon and of course she goes to Ashley. I however wasn't able to book her because she's not accepting new clients. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON THERE IS ONLY ONE ACCEPTABLE TECHNICIAN. I was so upset, I asked them to remove my nails and offered to pay for the service. They refused and proceeded to allow another tech to attempt to fix the shape. I asked for square nails, even showed them a photo of what I wanted, and was given THICK SHAPELESS GLOBS OF ACRYLIC instead. I couldn't believe the technician was about to let me leave the chair this way. I wish I had read the other comments before I visited. Definitely never going back. They also don't have prices for this service posted in the salon. It was $80! Smh. read more

Really bad - got gel nails done and they are thick blobs, look really sloppy. I tried calling to see if they could be fixed and was told I would have to pay for a fill in, too bad because it's closed but never going here again read more

Came to Dream Nails & Spa based on a recommendation from a friend - her gel manicure looked fantastic. I booked two pedicure appointments a few days in advance and when my mom and I showed up about 15 minutes early, they were ready to take us. It was a little surprisingly slow for a Saturday afternoon, but I guess it was really cold out, so no one wanted to leave their houses. They have a huge selection of colors on the wall from Essie, OPI and other brands, and even mark the new colors for those who are looking. We sat down in the pedicure chairs, and they put in plastic liners. I had never actually seen a place use them before, but I know they are much more hygienic. We got the regular pedicures, which involved the standard steps, and at a pretty standard price of $25, as well. The only thing that took away from the relaxing "spa" experience was my nail tech, Helen, talking to her husband?/business partner? the whole time in Korean and she kept getting distracted. Rosa ended up finishing my pedicure and she was lovely and did a great job. My mom and I started at the same time, but my pedicure finished quite a bit after hers. We still enjoyed the treatment and the final result was great, so my mom decided to get a 10-minute chair massage and I got a regular manicure. I decided to use two colors, which was no extra charge (bonus!). Again, I had Helen who was chatting away the whole time though. Despite not having the most spa-like experience, the treatment was great, the prices are right, and the final results looked excellent. Best place I've tried in the Hoboken-Jersey City area thus far. read more

I love coming here as there's never a wait and connected to my building. The place is clean and the staff are all very mine! The pedi / mani M-T are $30 special and mine usually lasts for 3-4 weeks w pedi and nails about 8 days. With the gel it lasts about 2 weeks. They also do eyebrow waxing which is good so this is great for all services and convenient. Be sure to ask about their points program as you get a card each time you go and can redeem for additional services. You also get a short neck and back massage for any of the services you get! read more

Hands down best gel mani experience ever. My nail tech Ashley and her mother did a fabulous job of making me feel comfortable and welcome. Ashley was super patient when I was being incredibly indecisive and really took her time to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. My nails never look this good when they're short. read more

I haven't been back to this salon since before the pandemic. I called and was able to get an appointment quickly which was a surprise. The salon is clean and the manicure/pedicure was well done. Laura did my pedicure and took so much time getting it right. I was very pleased and will be back again - hopefully not waiting another two years. read more

Ashley did my nails over three weeks ago before my Disney trip and they are just now beginning to show wear and tear. And I'm not easy on my nails! I had made an appointment in advance and she was ready when I got there. Very impressed and will be back. Minus one star because the salon smelled like tuna. read more

Best Gel manicure I've ever received! You can tell she put so much care and precision into the nail shaping, cuticle trimming, and nail art. It really is another level beyond other places I've been to. For $50 it wasn't too expensive either. Z did an awesome job with the watercolor effect. I'll be back!! read more

Im beyond myself. I love this place and l have been coming for over a year now. I take breaks from getting gel because I like my nails to breathe and have nothing on, so I don't come 4 times a month. But today was awful. I made at in person appointment with Jenna two weeks ago (after she did my nails).I discussed with her that I only wanted Ashley or her to do my gel, as the older woman did my gel the previous time and it wasn't good. I made that very clear. The day comes, I show up on time. And they say I have an appointment with the older lady. I said noo, I specifically made sure to schedule it with Jenna and she even took and entered the info on their schedule. Their response: well there is miss communication when the appointment was made over the phone. You are under Helen. Once again... I made the appointment in person WITH JENNA!! I felt like they were blaming me for the "mistake", but Im not the one taking the appointments that's their job! Not only that but it was super unprofessional and I felt horrible. I love how Jenna and Ashley do my nails, but that doesn't excuse them from treating me that way. At the end I got my nails done with Jenna, but it was awkward and I felt like it was rushed. To be honest I didn't feel welcomed and felt embarrassed of how they treated me in front of other customers. Friendly advice: Treat customers with respect and don't lie to their face. If you want a relaxed, professional experience this place is not for you. read more

First off let me say that Ashely Pak is a true artist in her craft. She should have her own TV show, YouTube channel and is celebrity nail artistry quality! However, if your not going to Ashley do not waste your team. The remaining technicians at Dream nails are absolutely horrible! They are so slow it takes 3 hours of your day to get a Gel fill and pedicure. Like seriously if you go make sure to budget your time because you will literally be here forever. Besides Ashely, non of the technicians there can do a gel fill and actually shape the nails appropriately, they are like massive globs of thick paste on your fingers. Even the pedicure take forever and you typically have to get them redone. Look for a different nail salon if your not going to Ashely. read more

Love this place! One of the only eyebrow waxing places in the area that I've found that I can trust won't burn my eyebrows. It's always reliable to get my nails done in a pinch, too. Pre-COVID I never had to make an appointment, not sure about now. Dream nails is my go-to! read more

The woman who did my nails was by far the sloppiest I have ever experienced. She got polish all over my fingers (off the nail) when she cleaned it off she wiped polish off the nails in random spots that I continued to notice when I got home. On top of that she also cut my finger with cuticle cutters while doing my nails and I began to bleed.... read more

"Dream Nails" - should be called NIGHTMARE nails. No words can describe the experience I had here. 2 and a half hours and this is what I went home with. And the bandaid on my pinky finger is from getting my cuticle chopped by the lady taking care of me. Won't return. read more

Dream Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Update on my last review... if I could give dream nails negative stars, I'm sorry but I would. I only get tips in the winter because my nails just don't grow in the cold weather. So I tried out dream for their tips... well I've attached a picture of what I asked for and what I got... they wanted me to pay $65 for this!!!! They're lucky I paid $50... which After I walked out I went straight down the street to nail atelier for them to FIX THIS. It's embarrassing. I'm not happy. I actually considered leaving them for it to be the topic of a joke for the Christmas parties I Have coming up for the next two weeks... I showed the woman who did them the picture I wanted multiply times. I don't understand how there was a miscommunication. But this is just actually comical. I will literally never go back in there again. I can't believe I had to fight to even pay 50$. They should have not charged me. Embarrassing. I frequent this nail salon because I live down the street. I follow them on Instagram and if you get tip I highly suggest it. Does great work. But honestly if you are in a rush I've gone to so many better places in Hoboken. Before the holiday weekend I needed a pedicure and manicure. To be fair I did go an hour before closing but this is my pedicure LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER GETTING IT. Also they charged my credit card wrong and had to refund me and I felt very awkward how they asked for my card back to void and recharge me. Idk after this last experience I might have to find a new nail place. I'm very unhappy. And my toes look like shit... read more

Dream Nails & Spa - Pedicure two days after I had it done... - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Very disappointed in this place! Was hoping for the best since it is so close to my home. Ended up with a very poor pedicure! My cuticles were barely pushed back and jagged. After asking for the woman to do my big toes again the result was still poor. The picture speaks for itself. I would think twice about visiting this location. read more

Dream Nails & Spa - Very poor pedicure from this place! She barely pushed back the cuticles and what she did do was left uneven. - Nail Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Below I attached a few pictures of my nails. The place has really nice workers and it was an over all good vibe. The lady who did my nails was very nice as well. I got a UV gel set with gel color with extensions. On their website it says this is $60 my nails came out to 90$ and I gave a $10 tip so I paid $100. When I initially called they said it would be around 55-60. Since I just wanted plain color. I was going to call today to check what I was charged for, but they were closed due to snow storm so I will update the post when I find out. I didn't look at my nails until I got home.( which was my fault) but when I did have a look I saw how bumpy and uneven they were. I also had an issue with making an appt. I made an apt for one day but had to move it to another date. When I called to follow up, my appt was never made. They were really nice and where able to fit me in at the same time. The over all nails took 2 hours and I received the below quality. Again, nothing against the staff, they were lovely. But I was not satisfied with the nail quality. read more

I had the oldest woman in the salon and she definitely could not see what she was doing. She was super harsh and rough on my nails. While filing, she was filing my skin off. I asked her three times to cut my nails down and she would only file and then they were all uneven. She seemed agitated when I asked to make certain Nails shorter. Then while painting gel, she missed the edge of every single one of my nails. I had to ask way too many times for her to touch up the sides and fix all of my nails. Even another lady at the salon came over to look because she heard me asking for it to be fixed every other minute. The lady did nothing however, just looked. Overall, will never go there again. Plus $35 for a gel manicure, do they think they're in NYC? Just moving out of NYC, I can confirm this is higher than most for a crap job. AVOID. read more

Worst experience ever!!!! If you want to be yelled at and treated roughly, this is the place for you. My skin around my finger was cut, my hands were thrown around as if they were made of wood. At the checkout counter, the lady charged my card and got my sign on the receipt and went back to doing her work/ cleaning. I waited for her at the counter but she seemed distracted so I left. She came shouting in the middle of the road and when I pulled up the cash out of my wallet ash she came closer to me. SHE SNATCHED IT OUT OF MY HAND. OMG? What just happened? So rude and unprofessional. read more

I came to Dream Nails & Spa with a LivingSocial deal (Gel manicure and green tea pedicure) and it was really good. To date, I'd still consider them the nail salon that gave me the best French gel manicure (and I'm a regular with gel manicures, particularly with the Shellac brand). They were really nice, even after I asked for a last-minute switch to do French as I saw the pink color I had chosen was very light. They did a good foot-wrap thing with green tea that made my ankles worthy of all envy - they were so smooth! My only complaint was the long wait I endured. I made an appointment for 6:30 PM and wasn't taken to a chair to get started with my pedicure until at least 7:10 PM-ish (~40 minutes wait). By the time they were finished with me (both gel mani and pedi), it was 8:30 PM and that really soaked up the rest of my weeknight. They're also located a little bit further away ... even though their address says Hoboken, it is at least a 10-minute walk away from the main street where the restaurants, bars and action are (Washington Street). These wouldn't deter me from coming back though - $25 for a gel manicure is still an amazing deal and I've seen what a good job they can do. read more

The nails are great in general. I always get the same color and shape and it's always consistent. Sometimes the older women fail to shape the nails evenly, they end up slanted sometimes which I suppose isn't really noticeable. My complaint is with the general demeanor of the older women. They're a bit standoffish, they rush me and use words that make me wonder how the younger girl lets them get away with. After getting my get manicure, I was scratching my arm and apparently I was taking **too long** scratching my arm so the older women said "okay you must pay now" and so I said, "yes one sec" and she said "no RIGHT NOW" and I was ....... ok..... give me a godamn second, Jesus Christ. I didn't even tip even though I'm consistently a good tipper. Honestly, I understand a language barrier, but if your tone is rude, it overrides a language barrier. I was taken aback and surprised. And disappointed. The younger girl Ashley needs to have a sit down with her mom because that's i tolerable and can ruin an entire experience, regardless of how good the nails are. read more

They are SO nice here, and they give the nicest pedicure. They also do gel stuff, if you care.

I LOVE this salon! I would even go to the extent in saying it is the best in Hoboken! Maria and her staff are so friendly and put time and care into each and every client they have. Their pedicures come with a leg and foot sea salt scrub, hot stone massage, and wax on your heels treatment, finished by being fully moisturized. This along with a beautiful manicure as well -- all for only $25! (Plus a good tip, since they all work so well!) I've also only get my waxings done here and have always been happy with the results. Living in the area and having tried numerous salons, I could not recommend this salon more! These women deserve the most business in Hoboken, and I recommend that everyone goes to them! read more

Hands down (er, feet down?) best pedicure I've ever gotten. I got the LivingSocial deal, so keep in mind this was a "Green Tea Pedicure" off the spa menu - normally $40 or $50 I think. Anyway, it was relaxing and exceptional, everything smelled amazing and I left feeling great. The gel mani was fantastic and ended with a bonus salt-scrub which is a nice touch. Everything was clean, and the service was very nice. I usually get my nails done near work, but when I'm in the neighborhood would certainly return here! read more
