i have been dealing with periungual warts (warts in the cuticle) that i contracted from this nail salon for 3 years now. They re-use files on multiple clients, the entire facility just does not feel clean. Its overpriced. Gel polish was lumpy most of the time depending on who did my nails very lazy work especially for the price.. its been a long time since i should have wrote this review but the fact that im still dealing with this 3 years later is really whats getting to me. I would never come back here or recommend this place. I have spent over 1500$ on medical treatments for these warts which is quite painful, and nothing has worked. If you dont want warts all over ur cuticles you should avoid this place entirely. read more

Glamor Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

I've been getting my nails done for most of my life since I was a teen. I know what I like, and I was looking to try this place based on a friend's recommendation. Over the past several months I tried a couple other places and I was dissatisfied and taken advantage of. The owner of a particular salon tried to price gouge me not realizing It was my 3rd time there. I called her out on it. I got the exact same manicure with the exact same design and the owner tried to raise the price by $10 and charge me to trim my nails. Needless to say that was my last time at that salon. I can happily say that Glamour nails wasn't like this. I was immediately greeted at the front door. I was told to go wash my hands. I sat down with Karen and she not only took me on time but I was out the door in 45 minutes. She did a great job on my nails. She listen to what I wanted and she filed my nails exactly how I requested, (squared.) My nails look great! They're completely squared and not crooked like the other place did. I get acrylic with gel polish and I highly recommend it. All of the sample nail polish charts were completely encased in plastic so not to spread any germs. The salon was clean and everyone wore a mask. Between the manicurist and myself was plexiglass. They are doing a good job social distancing. I like that they use D&G gel polish. I will definitely be back again read more

Glamor Nails - #Gelmanicure #Week 2 - Nail Salons Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

They do an alright job, but are extremely expensive for what you get. I used to come here years ago, and it seems they've changed a lot. Also, for top quality service, request Julie specifically. The other manicurists are very hit or miss, especially if you're detail oriented like me. My cuticles and skin were very raw from some harsh filing. The shape and length were decent, but I did have to file them down at home to get uniform shape and straight edges on my short coffin nails. I also had to ask for a third coat since the coverage was uneven after 2 - she was going to leave it patchy and uneven. :( They also failed my biggest test and pet peeve: not pushing the cuticle back and painting close to the cuticle. Instead, there's already a visible gap after just 2 days. Big bummer since I'll have to get a full even sooner, which just emphasizes that this isn't worth the high price I came in for a basic acrylic set - no design. According to the prices, that should've been $35. Every time the manicurist tried to upsell me (you want regular acrylic or strong acrylic? you want normal or gel polish?), I chose the basic, cheaper option. Yet somehow, my $35 manicure ended up being $50, $60 with tip. That's a 42% price increase versus what's advertised - after me choosing all the cheapest options and never being told of any surcharges. For that reason, I likely won't return. I'm happy to pay for a job well done, but it's very unnerving to have no idea what you're going to pay until it's too late. It's also shady to advertise one price and bait-and-switch when your customers hands are tied. It looks like I'll stick to my normal salon back home unless I'm really in a bind. read more

I will not be returning here. This place is ok if you want/need a "good enough" manicure in 20 mins or less (and still pay the price *plus credit card surcharge* of a good nail salon.) I asked for a gel French manicure and am very disappointed. My nails are still rough and not filed completely. She used an electric file on my real nails. No care, attention to detail or buffing. Didn't even let me soak my cuticles before she (barely) cut them. Nails aren't equal in length. The white line is decent and the towel was warm. Barely any lotion and a 3 second hand massage. No shoulder massage offered. read more

The last time I visited was 6/2018 for my senior prom. It is now 07/14/2019 and I still have some type of infection on my finger that I got after visiting this place. I had it on my toes as well, since I got a mani pedi. That has gone away. This has yet to go away. read more

This place is over priced and the workers are not friendly. Just paid for a full set and I am very dissatisfied. Had to ask multiple times to clean up the white all over my hands from getting a French manicure. If I'm paying this much money I should walk out with them looking better then my 4 year old nephew did them. My hands looked better before walking through that door read more

Place was horrible and wont be going back! I had an appt with Trish, the nail tech who was recommended to me, in the past so yesterday, with all the snow we got, I called to make sure they were still going to be open. I mentioned Trish's name twice and explained how I had an appointment with her later that day. I called to try to see if I could get an earlier appointment (if there were any cancellation, etc). They said I could not make any earlier appt and that my time was 6pm. When I arrived for my appointment, I come to find out, Trish is not even there! She was not in at all the day. Not once did they mention this on the phone when I specifically asked about MY APPT WITH TRISH. So now I am waiting almost 20 minutes until I am even able to be seen by anyone. When I do get someone to finally do my nails they put me in with someone else who clearly had no experience what so ever. It was very hard to explain to her what I wanted with my nails due to the fact that she did not speak any English. Now I am Spanish, and speak Spanish but it was hard to communicate with her as far as what I wanted on my nails. Less than 24 hours & my nail is already chipped. Safe to say, I will no longer be going back here. read more

I have been going to glamour nails consistently for August 2017 - Diane is my nail artist and she does a phenomenal job . I've always been happy with her communication and honesty. It's hard to find a good nail salon with hard working employees- I have had my fair share after getting my nails done in north jersey and Long Island for 10+ years. I have never consistently attended a nail salon until now ! read more

I always go to tony, he is so friendly and does the most thorough job ever and always does what you ask. I get acrylics but like them short and natural looking and he always does it perfectly without question. Kim is also wonderful, she is so friendly and adorable and loves when people ask for fun nail art designs. She genuinely gets excited about it and puts so much effort and care i to doing them. read more

I live so close to this place and just tried it out today. I was in desperate need of a pedicure and after talking with Karen, I chose to get the spa pedicure ($47). This included multiple massages throughout (one with the scrub, one with lotion, and one with the paraffin treatment on my feet). Karen had great attention to detail, was friendly, and I did not feel rushed. I thought the price was extremely reasonable for the service I was provided and I don't remember the last time my feet felt so smooth and fresh after a pedicure. I will definitely return and I plan on requesting Karen again as she was wonderful. read more

If you care about protecting your natural nails DO NOT GO HERE!! Ive been getting dip powder on my natural nails for the last eight months and had no problems. The first time I went to this salon to get dip I ended up with three of my natural nails snapping off far enough down the nail bed to make me bleed. Aside from this being the most expensive dip manicure I've ever had it was also the most detrimental to my nails. As someone who has been dedicated to protecting their natural nails, I can confidently say that this place over charges for low quality manicures. read more

Went here today for the first time because of a friends recommendation and had Diane. She quickly assisted me upon walking in. She herself did my nails. Before she started she went over all the prices with me. I had a full set put on as well as some design work. They came out beautifully i'm so pleased with the end result. She was very courteous by checking on me multiple times to see how I was doing and if I was happy with my nails. I'm very satisfied and I also highly recommend this salon. The staff was nice and friendly and enjoyed making conversation with their clients. I felt welcome and the salon was beautiful. Love the decor. I will be returning and asking for Diane again. She was a delight!! read more

This place has gone down hill and fast. I came in with a photo of past work a technician has done for me here in the past to be told they can't do it anymore, they also left my nails filed and offered NO other services to make them look presentable. Then I still decided to get a pedicure, along with this the women told me she had to wax my legs, I'm sorry but the hair on my body is my own business and not yours. The pedicure cost $25 and I got no callus remover or massage, and was only 15 minutes long. I will never be coming back here again. read more

I LOVE THIS SALON!! I drive 30 minutes for my nails and it's worth it! They do a fantastic job and give you exactly what you ask for. Prices are fair and the work is very detailed. The colors last and I wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more

Glamor Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

I've been to this mail salon three times. I have fairly long nails and am very picky about my nails. I like nail art as well. This place was recommended on a local FB group. I was first paired with Tony. A personable guy. He did an ok job, but informed me that "the ombre machine" was broken. He ended up doing a very basic rhinestone design, but used stones too big for my nails so they stuck out quite a bit. They prefer cash, so much do that if you use their ATM they will refund you the $1.00 back immediately. They have a cash payers program as well that affords points towards services. Their prices are up there. I wouldn't mind do much, but when I have to go home and fix them.... Second and third I was with Lena. She did a better, but not perfect job. We did yellow polish with two nails painted with a sunflower. For the fill, fix one nail, gel polish and two designs it was $70.00! I again went home to file. They were very thick and annoyingly chunky. Next time same girl. I asked her to thin them and for a black and purple glitter ombre. She polished with the purple glitter and then sponged on black. I kept thinking she'd blend them but nope! $65. I had to go home and file and glue. Not going back obviously! read more

Tried this place for the first time earlier this week. I walked in without an appointment and there was no wait, which was nice. My sister only gets her nails done here so I was eager to see what she likes so much here. I just got a basic pedicure, nothing fancy. For the price, I would definitely go back. Overall, it's not the best pedicure I've had by any means but it's cheaper than other places I've been to so the price to quality ratio checks out. It's a large and quiet place which I really enjoyed and the staff were all very pleasant. I believe they also have a points program if you're a frequent customer. read more

Even with appointments you have to wait. Only person I really recommend and the reason I come here is Karen. Other then that, I wouldn't.

I've been to this nail salon a few times and it just gets worse and worse every time I go. I had an appointment yesterday and after this terrible experience, I will never be going back. This lady spent almost 2 hours doing a simple French manicure fill on my acrylic nails because she had to keep stopping to fix the uneven lines of my French manicure and I still left with them being very uneven, after I expressed to her multiple times my dissatisfaction with my manicure. As you can see in the picture, the pink part of my nail is very cloudy and choppy looking. She also dropped the nail brush she was using on the floor and tried putting it back on my nail until I pulled away, not allowing her to do so. Lastly, my thumb nails, as I try to show in the picture, the gel top coat completely peeled off of both of them when I've only had these nails for one day, I've never had this happen with any other of my acrylic sets. I advise you try somewhere else, extremely overpriced for a bad result and rude employees. read more

I went here because it was highly recommended by Yelp. I fully regret that decision. Yes their tools do come out in plastic packaging, but if my fingernail is crooked after you cut it with such daredevil speed, I don't think it's really worth it. Their salon isn't even that clean and the downhill slope from the main room to wash your hands is a old person's fall just waiting to happen. I made an appointment with ease. When I got there they were super crowded for a Tuesday night, probably because of the good reviews from Yelp. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I kind of felt like my nail tech hated hated me. She didn't even try to make conversation with me. She kept shoving my hand back at me when she was through and my requests for her to file my nails straight (after her hacking cut job) were met with eye rolls. She even dragged my coat on the floor when she had to move me because she was overbooked. I wanted CND gel polish, and after giving her one, my nail tech sprinted back to the wall for the cheaper, Chinese version. I should have gone home. Their UV light boxes are straight up NASTY and old with dried up polish in them. Do not be fooled by those super clean photos!! The end result? My black gel polish is cloudy, my nails are crooked, and I certainly wish I never came here. There are much better nail salons in the area (for the same price). Stay away from this ghetto, cheap, dirty salon. read more

I've gone to glamor nails numerous times in the past, but have since opted to go to another nail salon due to their inconsistency, and absorbent fees & prices for BASIC work. This past Saturday (3/24), i decided to go to Glamor due to my other salon being completely booked, so glamor was really my last min resort. Mind you, regardless, i did call 2 days prior, and scheduled an appointment for 3:30pm on 3/24. When i arrived, i still had to wait 30 mins to be seen. If that wasn't enough, because no one actually works their "front Desk", 1 of the nail techs who became available, attempted to take 1 of the 3 people who had all arrived for 4pm appts before me. Luckily, they were all booked with other nail techs with the exception of 1 who happened to be sitting right next to me which allowed me time to interject and say "HEY, I'M NEXT, I HAD A 3:30 APPT". I mean come on, what's the point of scheduling appointments if you're just going to over schedule everyone for the same times, and cause people to have to sit and wait for at least 30 mins. Then to make matters worst, you don't even have a clerk at the front desk to keep track of all of the people who are forced to wait until "the next nail tech becomes available" ? I wish I would've took heed to the fact that this entire debacle was just setting the precedent for what was to follow. Basically , i told the tech i wanted ACRYLIC, because glamor likes to overcharge for every service. The woman tries to sell me on "base dip" & "Gel" to which i replied "No, thank you, i just want REGULAR acrylic", as she's applying the acrylic, she tells me it will be $55. I'm like $55 for Acrylic? Your price list right here on the counter states it's $35, she then tells me "Oh, this is pink acrylic, its more expensive, but better for you" . I never asked for pink acrylic, nor did i ask for a pink & white set. These are the little games they like to play. They try to sell you on more expensive services that aren't worth the additional costs, or they'll try to apply the most expensive product to your nails so they can price gauge you. Some people may not notice, or may not care, but I DO. As someone who has frequent many salons prior to finally making the executive decision to travel 45mins-1 hr to a salon in Bloomfield that is always on point, please believe me when i tell you to save you money and go elsewhere. They overcharge for basic designs & pedicures, their craftsmanship is inconsistent and varies from day to day, or whether your nail tech is in a rush because she already has 2 people waiting for her/him. My primary salon only uses pink acrylic, and they certainly don't charge you $50 for it. I often get literally designs on every finger which include, 3d, rhinestones, bling, and the whole 9yrds and on average pay no more than $70 when i'm getting a FULL SET. What a Rip OFF, i will never return, and i will certainly be telling my friends & family to do the same. read more

I moved to NJ about 2 years ago and the nail salons around here are just total shit. It's been a long journey to find a salon that's up to my standards (hey, if I'm dropping $70, I want to feel pampered, not skeeved out!) With all of that said, I love this place!! I love a nail salon that feels like an upscale spa! Everything felt new (including their luxury pedicure chairs). My gel manicure was perfect. No bubbles or smudges. And you know it's a great manicure when the gel is still on 5 weeks later! read more

Glamor Nails - The Results - Nail Salons Near Me - Bound Brook, New Jersey

When I realized I've yet to review Glamor Nails, it was only fair to give these ladies the credit they deserve. These ladies are super talented with nail art. I've got numerous gel manicures here, from french, to leopard, matte, crystals - the works. And I've never left unhappy. These ladies take such pride in their work and their designs, they really do a fantastic job. I recommend making an appointment because this place does get busy after 4pm on the weekdays and on the weekends. They made a new extension for the pedicure chairs probably last year, which doubled the space and made it feel a lot less cramped. The decor is lovely, the staff is so kind, and they do a fantastic job on nails. Need I say more? read more

I recommend Kim. She is awesome! I always go to her and she has the ability to make my nails look perfect! The only person I trust! If you go here, ask for her! read more

I travel upwards of a half hour from home (even longer from work) to Glamor Nails every two weeks. Sandy and the whole staff is very friendly and highly skilled. I usually choose an intricate 3D design from the internet and am never disappointed in my nail design. I manage a hair salon and am impressed by always being able to get an appointment around my desired time and have even been squeezed in when the bad timing is my fault!! The salon has recently been renovated and "the Ramp" has tape to prevent a sliding hazard. I've been getting clear gel and nail art at Glamor Nails for almost 18 months and my natural nails are in great condition. Cultural differences are a small thing to overcome when the service and talent can speak for themselves. read more

I used to go to glamor nails religiously from 2012-2015 and boy do I miss Julie and her team. I always left there extremely happy with my nails and felt the place was kept clean, the prices were fair, and the staff were kind. The only reason I haven't been in a while was because I moved to north jersey and the drive is over an hour, but every time I'm in the area here and there, I contact Julie and she always gets me in. Julie is an incredible business owner. She's honest, works hard, and her team is hand picked by her. When I moved, she even gave me a recommendation for a salon to visit because she knew of someone in my new area. I still follow her on Facebook and Instagram and am always so happy to see her business thriving. I highly recommend Glamor nails and never had a bad experience there. Clearly a memorable experience since I'm writing about it years later. Cant wait to return someday!! read more

This used to be my go-to nail salon. Kim is the best nail technician there! I recently started getting my nails done again and I haven't had an appointment which means I get whoever is available. The last few times I've gone, the women doing my nails have been just plain rude! I personally don't like gel and they ask me over and over if I want gel like my answer is going to change. I just felt like since I didn't get gel, they rushed my nails and were just rude about it. Its a shame because even though I like Kim, I will not be going back! read more

I used to come here religiously when I lived in the area. However, after my visit yesterday I realized why I no longer frequent this salon. I went to get a gel manicure and pedicure with my mom, instead I came out with a gel pedicure and no manicure. The girl at the front asked the lady doing my toes how much and she specifically said 32. I was sitting right there and know how much she said. My mom paid and left, but after she left, she realized she under charged my mom. I paid the difference because I didn't want the girl at the front to get in trouble, but she clearly did her job and the lady doing my toes messed up. Also, I was told my 3 different people walking in to wash my hands. I'm not in kindergarten, and don't need 3 people to tell me to wash my hands, but that could just be an annoyance from the whole experience. Overall, I probably won't be back. The customer service is terrible. read more

If u could give a negative star u would. This was the worst service ever. Just rude and just don't understand what is being said to them. I went in with long nails( which were my own ) and left with cut nails right after I told her I didn't want them cut short. read more

I have been to Glamor nails many times and over the past few years I have absolutely seen the salon go down hill. Recently, the technicians seem to prefer speed over quality and every time I have gone my nails have been left looking terrible. They are never neat, filed correctly, or done nicely. Many times I find that the technician cuts me and does not apologize or say anything. My nails ALWAYS chip when I come here as they rush the drying process. Honestly, don't come here. There are plenty of other nail salons in the area that do a better job than this place does. Sorry but I'm out of here. read more

NOT sure what these people are talking about... have been getting my nails done at GN for over five years and they have NEVER chipped even when I've gone 5+ weeks without a fill. I get acrylic so maybe they're getting gel or something... Anyways Julie is FANTASTIC she is the owner and she makes sure you're happy. so if you aren't happy with something tell her! She wants her customers to be happy and it's obvious whenever i speak to her. Wish Sandy was still here because she's great too but she went to get her own place. Tori is great, so is Theresa. Definitely recommend this place because they make you feel at home. Do agree that they sometimes rush through services during busy times lately, but that doesn't affect the quality for me at all as they are skilled enough for it to not make much of a difference (at least, the nail techs i have worked with are skilled enough!) Overall far more satisfied with GN than any other nail place in the area. read more

I never call ahead for an appointment and no matter how busy they seem they always fit me in. I appreciate the time they take to care for my nails. I'm not big on the designs or even the fake nail look. I'm a gel manicure and pedicure kind of women. Even so they treat me with so much kindness and I always leave there feeling well polished and relaxed. It's a few dollars more than the one by my house but I'll drive a little while longer just for the service. When I was pregnant with my son I went in for my manicure before he was born and they recommended I cut my nails so I don't scratch the baby. So kind of them to recommend that. They were right because a week later my longer nails did start to scratch him. I had to sneak away for some grooming but it was worth it to get pampered again. When I went back they remembered me and asked for pictures of my son. The fact that they remembered is sweet enough all in its own. read more

Awful! Avoid at all costs. I usually count on the reviews on yelp and I had such a horrible experience here that I was forced to write a review so that others are warned. I got a French manicure done. Paid $20 including tips. It was the worst manicure ever. All my nails were crooked. The tips were all uneven and messy. I had to keep asking the nail tech (receptionist?!?) to correct the mistakes. I finally got fed up and left...NEVER to come back...never ever ever! read more

I love going to Karen for gel fills and gel polish on top! Karen never disappoints me. She always listens to exactly what I want and will spend more time with me if I want the nails shorter or a different shape. Because I know how meticulous she is, I don't mind asking for unusual requests like short, thin, almond-shaped nails with pointed tips. Also, I showed her a photo once of an intricate design, and she replicated it exactly. After reading some of the bad reviews on here, I am certain that Glamour Nails hires mixed levels of employees. People either tend to love or hate their nails if they go here. Personally, I love Karen. I've also heard that Julie and Tori are amazing. My recommendation is to bring a photo and snag one of these women. read more
