    Awful glow in the dark nails

    This salon put glow in the dark nail polish on me when I asked for French manicure dip. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed my nails glowing (see attached). I called the salon same day and was told to come back. I went in and had to show the lady my nails in the bathroom. She told me it was normal and argued with me that it was normal. I have gotten plenty dip manicures in the past and they don't glow in the dark. Picture speaks for itself. They offered to redo but I had no time to wait around and at that point didn't trust them to correct. I told them I an engagement party and just wanted it removed. They removed it and refused to refund me. I'll be taking it up with my credit card company. I never write reviews but felt the customer service was shocking. I will never go back here. The owner messaged me privately and I am sharing the owners response.

    Have been coming here to get my gel pedicures. Always lasts me a good 3-4 weeks. Many color choices. Staff are great. Very clean.

    After Rita was finished

    I'm absolutely disgusted with the service I received here. I came in on 3/11 with my boyfriend for pedicures since our usual spot was booked and my friend said she had been here once and the experience was fine. My boyfriend and I sit down at 6:15 and one lady begins working on him (she was super nice). I sit down and I got Rita. Rita needs to be fired. First she asks if it's gel that I have on my nails currently and I say yes she starts filing the gel off and grazes my toes a few times but I don't complain at first because accidents happen. It's now 7:15 and all she's done at that point is scrape at the gel and my nails and and clip and file and just overall abuse them. I get my toes done regularly so there's no reason there should be that much being done at all. I flinched and pulled away several times and she just looked at me and continued being rough. They close at 7:30 so she begins rushing the rest of the pedicure. When it comes time to do the color, she puts my sandals on and begins painting. Now yes, they are sandals but they have straps across the toes making it very difficult so why not use the disposable ones? I leave and my toes are burning at this point. I get to the car and they are cut and bleeding, the nail has been cut too far into the bed and my toes are swollen from the amount of digging. And the polish is goopy and uneven and gross. I get very upset at this point and my boyfriend catches one of the workers before he leaves and he's told Rita is new and is supposed to be in training the next day, WHY WAS SOMEBODY UNTRAINED WORKING ON A CUSTOMER UNSUPERVISED?!

    Mean lady who gave the backhanded compliment then damn near burned me with water. Smh

    Came in for a quick pedicure since I was in town visiting my mom. I normally get my nails done in the city with a woman who I have been going to for YEARS! Where I go in the city (in Harlem) a normal gel pedicure is $28 and will last me 3.5 weeks. Since I had way to much fun in the sun (and ocean) this holiday weekend my pedicure started to chip, not super noticeable but since I'm a little OCD it was enough for me to call in a redo. Since I was nowhere near my normal place I came here. When I came in, there were 4 staff members and 2 clients. The lady doing a pedicure in the back greeted me with a hello and asked what service I was looking for. I stated to her that I wanted a basic pedicure (which is when they just do your nails apply the gel-you pay you go, versus the more extravagant and expensive pedicures that may include wraps, fruit infusion, massages etc) the lady who greeted me asked me to go to chair two. When I came to the chair there was a lady approaching my pedicure chair and she began to start running water. She looked at my Harlem done nails and said "oh you have sexy nails! You should get spa pedicure! It's good for you for $50" With her coy manner, apparently she thought she had some dumb customer who was just had money to blow. With her comments (not in English and to the other workers) she proceed to prep me for that $50 pedicure. I politely let her know that since I was running short on time, that I just needed to get a quick pedicure with no extras and go. I entered the spa at 9:35 a.m and had to be at my moms at 10 to take her to the doctors. Yes I was cutting it close, but since my mom only lived a few minutes away I knew it would be ok (fingers crossed). When I declined the service the lady gave an irritated sigh. While sitting in the chair the lady didn't stop to ask me how I wanted my water so when I dipped my foot in the tub, the water was cold. I asked her if she could make the water a little warmer-round two of the irritated sigh, a quick turn of a knob on the side of the chair and the lady walked off. Another lady came over and I had to let her know that the water was now super hot. So hot that I actually had to remove my feet from the tub. The lady who turned the water down was now doing my feet and I let her know that I wanted a regular pedicure. The other lady who walked off then stated that the regular gel pedicure was going to be $40 and I had asked why it was still expensive and only a $10 difference from the $50 spa pedicure previously offered. I felt like I was being taken advantage of so I requested for my pedicure to end. Especially since both ladies decided to speak in their language and laugh. Which was disrespectful on many levels as you know when someone is talking about you, English or not. Before the water incident, the lady who had walked off had started the removal process of my previous pedicure by using acetone instead of just drilling it off. This process is much more time consuming which I also felt was a backhanded disrespect as acetone is a strong liquid that basically melts polish and gels off the nail, but is not that quick. At this point I was over it. The same lady who greeted me when I entered told me that a basic pedicure was $35 and I asked again why the price changed now three times in a 10 minute span. The young lady apologized but was very casual, I wasn't expecting her to grovel at my feet- however I was expecting her to at least act like she received an A in empathy hell even a B would have sufficed. Since my time was running out and I now had more chips on my feet than when I came in I proceeded with the $35 pedicure and told all staff who was looking at me like I was going to act out, I will never return. I will definitely stay in Harlem where I will be respected and not profiled. If my toes ever chip....well then they will just stay chipped until I can get back to Harlem from now on.

    This place is AWESOME! I live in Paterson and drive over an hour to get my nails done. So worth the drive! Everyone is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. So relaxing and nice way to end the long work week, mani and pedi at Friendly Nails! I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

    I get dipping powder and a pedicure with Leon and he's the best!!! He's sooo nice and extremely talented. My nails last for a month with NO CHIPS! I've been coming here for years. I'm so picky with my nails and would never go anywhere else. My natural nails are so long and healthy too. I like how they're innovating with being able to book an appointment online and checking in when you arrive. With the points system if you spend $35 and up you get 2 points and after 6 times you visit and spend $35 you get $10 off! 10% off on your birthday too! The salon is super clean and the entire staff is friendly indeed and very professional. I highly recommend this nail salon.

    Gel manicure. Not thick no bubbles  neaty cut no pain cuticles
    Wynn T.

    My second experience a little better then tfirst. I got a gel manicure $25. The Polish is not thick at all, which is what I love. Clean friendly environment. Which is a first for me, usually in other places staffs are really rude and environment not all clean. Not to be sexest but I think the female nail tech does the best job. My current favorite is Vee. She's did a really great job on my nails. I am usually really picky abt my nails even though I like them short! Definitely would come back. Make sure you call in for appt if you want to go late. Like let's not be a those kinds of customers!

    Formerly Lazuli Nails now under new owners, two of the girls from the old staff stayed and I'm VERY HAPPY they did. Tina & Vee are the BEST!!! Great prices and service. I've broken a nail on three different occasions and they fixed it at no cost.

    The best nail place around, hands down! I have always felt a little uneasy at nail salons due to…read moreanxiety from feeling judged or out of place, but from the moment I stepped in the door, Mai & Hank made me feel so welcomed. Both of them take their time and always stop to ask if you are comfortable and happy with the shape, color, etc. They place extra emphasis on prepping your nails before polish, which is one of the reasons I think my nails last so long. Please keep in mind that it is only the two of them working, so they may not be able to take you on short notice. However, in the past they have kept my name down and called when someone else cancels which I greatly appreciate! Also note that it is located on Main Street so will have to find street parking.

Hank was incredibly accommodating and made time for me before a beach trip, which I really appreciated. I requested a nail design that resembled melting ice cream, and Hank was meticulous in getting every detail just right. He checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was happy before curing each nail. The final result was so creative and perfect for summer. What I didn't expect was that the manicure would end up in a very special photo; my partner proposed that weekend, and the nails ended up being part of a moment I'll never forget. I'm genuinely grateful for the care and attention Hank put into his work. Had I gone to one of the other salons, I know I would've been disappointed. I don't think I would have been as excited to share photos from that day. (It sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure many women can relate.) I highly recommend Metuchen Nail Spa if you're looking for attention to detail and excellent customer service.

Small check-in waiting area but open to the rest of the business. Ellie was a beast at my UV gel fill-in. I wish I'd have taken photos right away, but here's my mani at a week old. I returned today, a week later for a gentle microdermabrasion facial I booked with Christie and was serviced right on time. The spa rooms are in the back of the salon and the area is separated by a lace curtain. Once in the facial room, it felt like any other spa, not like a strip mall nail salon. Christie was professional, and excellent in providing the service. The added bonus of the shoulder, back and décolleté massage while the collagen mask baked was A+. I did need minor extraction and she was able to do them without using any tools. If I were a local, this would be my primary salon for nail and body care. Thank you Ellie and Christine! --four stars because the pedicure service has a few issues. Communication with the tech was a bit off-putting. She has wasn't able to explain the spa pedicure options and wasn't able to tell me in detail what each included. She kept referring me to posters on the wall. They weren't helpful as the listed a service yet provided no explanation as to what was included in the service. Going to try again next week, and request Ellie as my pedicures. I'm sure I'll have a better outcome.

Sep 27, 2025: Rating 5 stars Today I came to get a pedicure which long overdue. Since it's my birthday I decided to go all out and get the Gold Mystique Spa Pedicure ( Definitely highly recommend this package! ) and gold chrome polish as the cherry on top! First of all, my nail tech, Eric, was *****AWESOME****!!!!!! He gave me the BEST 20 minute foot and leg massage. Strong and firm hands are what I prefer for rub downs, and he delivered! The execution of the pedicure and polish job was top notch as I always expect and receive at this salon. ----------- June or July 2025: Rating 3 stars For today's services I brought hubby with me for a couples pedicure session and last minute I opted for eyebrow waxing. Pedicure: Mint $40 + I have to give a special shout-out to Amy! Her attention to detail is amazing. She did my pedicure weeks ago, and I was genuinely surprised when she remembered me on my return visit - despite me having completely forgotten hers! That kind of personal recognition truly sets her apart. And, as always, the pedicure itself was expertly done. Though my eyebrows turned out alright, the service was subpar. The older gentleman who performed the waxing had a very gruff demeanor from the start. He entered the room and simply told me to lie down, neglecting to pull down a clean sheet of tissue paper for the headrest - it was visibly crumpled from a prior use. Worse, I detected a strong cigarette odor when he began applying the wax. After I mentioned it, he offered a half-hearted "sorry" but made no effort to wash his hands before continuing. I felt entirely disregarded and his lack of professionalism was very off-putting. I will certainly make sure to avoid him for any future services.

I have been booking services at Lavo for around 5 months now and my nails have never looked better. For starters, they have an all-star receptionist. She is so kind and helpful and on top of her job! They are a very busy salon and yet I never have trouble booking an appointment. They are as accommodating as can be. Even when they miss my phone call, I instantly receive a call or text back. I have been serviced by several nail technicians and they are all so very talented. I never bother booking with a specific tech because I know that no matter who I see, they will do an amazing job I was recommended doing soft gel manicures and it has been the best decision ever made. My career is very physical so i would often have a lot of wear and tear on my nails but not with soft gel. The gel polish never chips and my nails have never been stronger. I am usually able to go 4 weeks with my nails still looking great but ready for a fill. I love this salon and as long as I live within a drivable distance I will never change. They are cash or zelle/venmo only. So be prepared. And in my opinion they are charging fairly for services considering the quality of the work. Thanks Lavo!
