Long time customer here - never going back. This place has gone down hill. It's dirty and no one really care about customer service or quality. I had a terrible gel pedicure (and manicure) and overall experience with JENNA. She banged my foot two different times with the gel lamp and by reflex I yelled out you are hurting me. So the third time she did it and before I could say anything, she looked at me and said stop moving my foot. She also held my toes with her fingernails as she worked on my feet. She gave me a terrible pedicure (cut my nails on an angle even though I asked for square). I complained to the manager and all she said was I'll let her know. lol I have complaints about my mani but this is enough to know - Go somewhere else! read more

Terrible service. Went there for a pedicure with elma based on a recommendation. Pedicure was rushed. Entire staff was rude. Overall terrible place. Never going back. read more

I had a spa pedicure and instead of regular polish I asked for a gel polish . it seemed like the girl didn't want to go look for the equivalent. They stated that regular color was 16$ and gel is 100$! Just the gel polish is 100$! So that would be 65$ for my spa pedicure and with gel a total of 165$. I've been to ALOT of nail salons and frequent my neighborhood salon every 2 weeks and have never heard of such a thing . Needles to say I wont be coming back for any reason . read more

I've been a client for 5 years and have never been disappointed for both gel manicure with grace and Mary for Pedicure

The space is #1 not well kept. Then I get Andrea who is doing my nails, she is a nice woman but otherwise I did not get what I wanted. My nails are all different sizes. I was also charged $100.00 for nails Normally they charged $80.00 for in the past! They are completely unprofessional. NEVER going back to this nail place read more

I've still be going to E-Nails even after trying many other places in town. Hands down, you don't get a better leg and foot massage or a free hot stone leg rub anywhere else without paying extra. No one is over friendly here but they get the job done. The place is always clean and I always feel like I got my money's worth. I rarely get a manicure because I bite my nails, but when I do, they work with my tiny bitten nails pretty well, making them look so much more presentable. There are a ton of places to get your pedicures and manicures in town, but this is my go-to for relaxation and pretty toes. Pedis are $30 and they have specials when you get a mani/pedi combo. read more

This establishment is totally unprofessional and is not willing to fix their mistakes. When I was getting my nails done dust was constantly getting under the polish and when I mentioned it to them they gave me attitude. Also, it is not a calming atmosphere as people are speaking as loud as they possibly can in there. I will never go back read more

I don't know what world this is considered a good gel manicure (photographed). It's bumpy/uneven, splotchy, and looks like a 5 year old did it. On top of the 0/10 quality manicure, the manicurist was incredibly rude, dug her nails into my fingers, and was extremely unprofessional. I politely asked her to even out one of my nails (she filed it to be crooked beyond belief) and she rolled her eyes, reluctantly fulfilling request. Wouldn't come back here. read more

E-Nails - Bumpy manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Livingston, New Jersey

Critical: Professionalism, Quality I have been coming here for years. I always request the nail technician Elma, but this time, was very dissappointed by the service. Has recently not been doing my pedicures correctly (getting annoyed for requesting simple fixes) and today topped it off by being very rude to me. I had called ahead of time to to make an appointment with her to get both mani and pedi done. I got there and was told, and I quote, that she "is not obligated to do both services for me, that by taking me she losses great customers." I will no longer be coming to this establishment due to this experience and also because the prices have increased by a lot! Mani + pedi used to cost $30, now it is $40 plus + unprofessional customer service. read more

Gave this place a second chance and made an appointment and went in for a gel manicure. Meanwhile as I was sitting there someone came in complaining about the handicap parking so one of the nail technicians was tending to that and answering her cell phone quite frequently. I was okay with this, the first time. Then it became two times, then three, then four and I noticed there was not even an "excuse me," or a "sorry," or anything. She was also screaming and speaking loudly to her co workers who were sitting right next to her the entire time. All was fine, whatever. But then, I go to pay. A typical gel manicure here is $35 plus tip. Well, I go to pay and all I heard was $45 that she charged me and I handed her a $50 bill. Along with that I handed her two singles as a tip to a horrendous manicure experience. She then closed the cash register and I showed her that the board said $35 for a gel manicure and she then goes "oh you wanted change?". So she overcharged me and that included a $10 tip for herself that she gave herself without my consent. She also kept the $2 I gave her so that was a $12 dollar tip. I asked for my change back and she then was confused and questioned me in front of the whole salon why I gave her only $2. I explained I had a horrible gel manicure experience (that chipped in 2 days might I add) and all she did was smirk and wave the $2 in the air. This place is a rip off, they overcharge you, they are beyond rude, and not pleasant. I took my money elsewhere to a place that hired one of their old nail technicians, and it's amazing. read more

Thank you for the clean and relaxing pedicure! Staff is helpful and attentive when asking for what you want.

I have gone here for several years? Mainly because they give great pedicures. However, my most recent experience has officially made me and my family stop going for good. I called ahead of time to ask how much a gel pedicure is. The woman on the phone said it was $40 which I thought was a great price. I decided to stop by and get a pedicure. When I arrived, I said "I would like to get a gel pedicure" and was taken right away. Everything was great until I paid. I told the woman to add a $10 tip expecting the total to be $50. When I looked at the receipt it said $70 was charged. Of course I immediately questioned it because I had just called before arriving and the woman told me $40. The woman at the front then said it was actually $55....which they still would have over charged me if that were true. Then I explained what I was told and the woman had a really disrespectful tone and started to raise her voice and claimed that I had asked for an estimate which was NOT the case. Then continued by saying that gel polish was $40 but with the water and massage it was more even tho that's not what was communicated to me initially. When I was trying to make sense of this, the woman was extremely rude and condescending and stared at me in rage and as if I was stupid. I will never come to this salon again. If you want good customer service and to be treated with respect then I highly suggest you avoid this place. read more

I come here because it is one of the "nicer" salons in Livingston. However, I recently started doing gel manicures instead of regular manicures, and noticed that they do not soak off your polish and rather just drill it off and make your nails brittle. I noticed the difference in practices when I went with my friend to her salon in Montclair. They do this out of pure laziness and only care about getting your nails finished in whatever way possible so that they can get the next person in the chair and keep making money. I also am unsure about the sanitizing process here - it is not clear to me if they change or clean tools between clients. I will say that most of the staff here is friendly which was one of the reasons that I kept returning apart from the convenient location. read more

In-town salon that I used to frequent often because of convenience. Service is always hit or miss. Typical manicure lasts 4 days. This time it started chipping the next day. Perhaps when manicurist was adding acetone to nail polish in crazy proportion should have given me a clue that it would be a total waste of my time and money. Stopped by 2 days later to change polish when Julie and another "expert" after close inspection said that it's normal, it's regular nail polish, sometimes it lasts 2 days, sometimes 5. They refused to reapply. Mediocre job, terrible nail polish quality, very disappointing service. read more

This nail salon has known me ever since I was a child and they're always very friendly and they do a great job on the nails

The worst place ever. I had gel manicure with Grace today. This was the worst experience ever. I had in so much pain, she grinned through my nail bed and keep asking me to relax while pressing hard on my fingers. I would never go back to her. read more

Neighborhood nail salon. The owners are not personable-- sometimes ignore you or talk to you like they are at a deli taking orders. People doing the pedicure and manicure are nice but often don't understand what you are saying. Reasonably priced and convenient. I don't typically make an appointment. Most people are walk ins unless you are having something complex done and you want a specific person. It's ok and the price and convenience are why I go. If I found a nicer friendly place at about the same price I could easily be swayed to go there. Parking is better on Sunday vs Saturday because you are competing for spots with the hair salon(s). read more

Judging from the dates on the reviews, it looks like the service has been steadily declining, and unfortunately, my review just continues that downward spiral. After I moved here about a month ago, I went here in search of my new "nail spot," since driving an hour to my old place wasn't in the cards, and honestly, it wasn't a good experience at all. Like someone else said, the work was pretty sloppy, and as soon as I stepped out into the sunlight, I had really obvious bubbling happening on not only my fingers, but my toes, too. However, I know that with nail salons sometimes it depends on who you get, and I gave the place another shot recently. I got someone different than the last time, and it was deja vu (stained skin from attempts to remove sloppy polishing and again, bubbles), but this time I was rushed out, which just added to my dislike of this place. I spotted the CVS across the street and figured they'd have polish remover pads that I could use as a temporary fix. Well, when I got out of the car and walked up to the CVS, I saw another nail salon right next door. I figured it must have been a sign from the nail gods (lol), so I made sure to jot the name down. I went there later in the week to see if they could fix my jacked up mani/pedi that I got from E-nails, and it was a much improved, awesome experience! I was so happy that I tried out their eyebrow waxing as well, and everything was really great. There, literally across the street, $25 gets you both a mani AND a pedi, while E-nails charges the same price for just a pedicure! As soon as I saw that, I really wished I had just crossed the street to begin with. :/ Oh well - you live and you learn, right? The grass is definitely greener on the other side of Livingston Ave. read more

Sunny was very rude the entire time, her disposition clearly didn't match her name. She rushed the whole time and told me she had someone coming after me rushed me out of the chair and then no one came after me. read more

Call to make an appointment if you are going in on the weekend, this place gets packed! Huge plus is that they are open on Sundays! Really clean environment and they do a fabulous pedicure with hot rocks. Isabella is my favorite girl to go to. Bring cash if you are going to spend less than $20 or you won't be able to pay. read more

THIS PLACE HAS TURNED BAD. Beware!! Overcharged for everything. Will not be back. I grew up in the area and have been going here for a long time. Not frequently but it's the best around so when I come to visit my family, I go there. The gel manicures used to be $30 which is very fair. The last time I was there which was about a month ago I got a very nice gel manicure by Julie - the best. It was $30 no complaints. My grandmother goes to her and made me the appointment before had as she knew I was coming into town. Julie always does a great job so I gave her a $10 tip. This morning, I did not make an appointment or call as this was a last minute trip to town. I went in and asked for a gel manicure. I was promptly seated and waited about 10 minutes for someone to start my services. The technician who sat across from me was rude and unprofessional. No greeting - nothing. I've had gels on for a long time and no matter where you go they soak them off. It's pretty much a routined part of a gel manicure. Today, the the already attituded technician starts blading my nails with an acrylic blade. It hurt so bad but I kept my mouth shut. The steps of the manicure were fine and nothing stellar. When I went to pay, she said $35. I said I thought that it was $30 and she goes no the prices are raised to $35 now. I said "where is it on the board" and she goes "right here" She pointed to the "Leg wax" that said $35. I did not see gel manicure anywhere on their board. Some nerve. I unwillingly paid for the $35 manicure and felt inclined to leave her a $3 tip for the nice looking manicure I received but her attitude was far below acceptable. I am not happy. I will not be back. read more

They were so rude and lied about the wait time. In a town with multiple options of nail salons I cannot believe they remain in business. Consider going to a salon that is honest and responsive. I will definitely never return. read more

The best salon julie the owner is incredible. Norma does an awesome pedicure and massage. Strong! Love it there ! read more

Liked this place. Saw me immediately although fairly crowded (enough staff working), manicure was quick, pedi was luxurious with the hot stone a nice touch. read more

I have been coming here for years. Best $30 mani/pedi you could get. They include hot stone rub and paraffin for your heels. Atmosphere and service is great. read more

I was recommended by a family member to go. I figure I give it a shot. There okay, I only got a pedicure . They are clean & had plastic up , took temperature before walking in . I felt safe! Got a pedicure ! The girl took her time even tho I was late arriving. Love the hot stone!! Evely is amazing at pedicures !! She doesn't rush & takes her time so it comes out perfect! read more

I am going to Enails since last 3 years. Service was always great, very relaxing pedicure, good massage. Last night I went there for my manicure and pedicure as always but this time I went around 6:15 pm and salon closes at 7:30 pm but still I had enough time to complete everything. One girl started my pedicure immediately and the other one sat next to me started manicure. The service was really bad, in fact they were doing the services as if they are saying why the hell you are here around this time?? They didn't say a word and tried to wrap up everything as soon as possible. The foot massage was done in a hurry, I go there mostly for pedicure as the foot massage is so relaxing. This time it's the worse I got in my entire life. I told the lady at the counter that I am really unhappy for the service I got. I think I'll look for another salon for my next pedicure and manicure read more

No social distance. Used dirty tools. Wouldn't use fans but gave massages. Overall gross. Would never go back.

I truly don't understand all the negative reviews. I have been going to e-nails for 3 years now and have always been greeted with a pleasant smile by everyone there. My daughter comes home from Philadelphia to get her nails done by Julie and my nails are done by Grace. Pedicures are always relaxing and done very well I have been in retail for over 40 years and know how difficult the public can be. Don't believe everything negative comment you read. These are hard working women and I think they are the best around. read more

Overall service was ok and the manager was so RUDE! now I totally understand why people are complaining about this store, I WOULD NEVER GO BACK! Save yourself a trip. read more

After admiring a coworkers beautifully manicured hands for some time, I went to her salon for a UV Gel French Manicure. Ester did a fantastic job! It only took an hour & lasted 2 weeks. Only bummer that I was very surprised at the cost - $130 for a full set. The receptionist advised that it should cost around $60 when I called to make my second appointment (for today) & told her I wanted a UV Gel Color Manicure. read more

I've gone to this nail salon over the past 4 years and the service has become absolutely awful. It's so upsetting as I thought I found a nail salon that I could rely on. The people that work at this salon are so rude, especially some of the lead nail techs that handle the gel manicures. They treat you like they're doing you some sort of favor. I got a pedicure here and they didn't do that great of a job. I pointed out an area I wanted fixed and they actually told me it was my fault because my nails were not in good shape. I pushed them to fix it and once they agreed it turned out fine, hence it was NOT my nail. I'm not understanding their logic here...this is a service business and we're paying customers...isn't the point for us to be happy with the results? Absolutely do not go here!! read more

Lovely atmosphere, great service. There are a million nail salons in town, but this is my favorite. They're not effusive in greeting you when you come in, but they're always polite. I've never had to wait long for service either. The pedicure chairs are awesome, and the massage feature always works. The technicians all seem skilled. Prices are great, and I always leave feeling relaxed - with my nails looking good! read more

Manicure and pedicure were basic, but fine. I would have given higher stars if my technician had smiled, just once! She looked like she was having a bad day and could care less about my experience. With the amount of nail salons in Livingston, you would think that they would make an effort to want customers to return. It doesn't cost anything to have a smile on your face. read more

Worst nail salon in the area....truly dirty and staff is rude. Saw a nail technician use a tool on her own nails and then proceed to use the same tool on her customer. Aren't they supposed to disinfect that stuff? I am calling the health department. Please don't waste your money. Not to mention that they are the most expensive in the area...? What a joke. Very unprofessional staff. read more

Every time I come in, I have a great experience, the staff are all very friendly and I always leave happy & feeling very pampered after my Manicure & Pedicure! I love Grace & Irma they due great jobs. I would highly recommend E-nails!!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. They rushed me so much, finished pedicure in about 15 minutes. No massage. Just awful. Stay away!!

Got a mani/pedi yesterday and it's already chipping! The service is ok. They try to add a foot massage but it's done half heartedly and lasts for a minute. The manicurist doesn't even massage at all. They take out a hot stone and I'm thinking this will be a nice touch but then they quickly rub it once down your leg - what a waste! The only nice touch is the hot oil they place on your heels for calluses. If they just put effort into what they already do - the foot massage, the hot stone it would be a great improvement in service and quality. read more

I had an appointment to get a gel manicure, and I arrived at the time my appointment was. They told me to sit down and someone would be with me shortly. I am sitting there for about 15 minutes waiting for someone. The women who did my nails finally comes and was annoyed that I did not pick my color. (I was not told to pick a color or given the basket with the colors to choose from) I told her what color I wanted. I choose a solid color and on my ring ringer I wanted a different color. She made a face and asked "really? you want that?" I had to tell her 3 times that is what I wanted. She then proceeds to take my gel off my nails and kept hitting my skin and hurting me. She then does my cuticles and keeps hitting one spot. It hurt so much I was jumping in my chair and she kept going. When it was time to polish my nails she would throw my hand when she was done with it and told me to put it in the UV light. Then when she would want the other hand she would yell to give her my hand. While she was doing my nails she would answer the phone and get up and cater to other customers. so my manicure that was suppose to take about 30 minutes, took an hour. When it came time to pay, I gave her a tip that was not good enough for her. She made a HUGE scene and demanded I give her more money. I was so embarrassed. This place is such a rip off. They judge you as soon as you walk in, their prices are ridiculous, and they do not fully clean their tools. I highly suggest going somewhere different. Not even a week later the manicure chipped and cracked. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. read more

Just moved to the area and I'll still be on the hunt for a nail salon after my experience here. After not having time for weeks, it's very irritating to get a bad manicure. Manicurist barely pushed back cuticles and just glided the cuticle cutter over my nails so she didn't even clean up my cuticles. The manicure ended up looking amateur. I wouldn't pay$30 for a job I could have done myself. When I was ready to leave, they don't even offer oil and plastic wrap to protect the pedicure. Not impressed with the hot stone. The only plus is that they are open on Sunday. read more
