I'm staying in NY and couldn't find a place that did dip manicures to save my life. Grace showed up on Yelp and when I called the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. I was able to come within the hour, I got a dip manicure for $65, Stephanie was my technician and was very kind/attentive. The salon itself is very beautiful, clean and has a calm vibe. The quality and speed of the service was top notch, if I lived here I'd be a regular. read more

First of all, I went in there and it looked OK nice and clean. The lady just tells me go to the back I go to the back there's two ladies there. I have to wait it wasn't busy the first lady that came to do what she had left me there for a while with my feet soaking so at that point, I told the other woman to do it because she was finished and the lady said that she does good work she had gray hair. She did my feet horrible Job. It was a bad day for me. My back was hurting, and I was just sitting there so when she finish, I look OK from where I was. It looked OK. I wanted to get home when I get home, I get to see it in a brighter light. I will post the pictures so you could see for yourself who would do a job like that the nail the big toe was slanted. It wasn't even straight and then she shaped the other one round so they were all different shapes. She didn't clean the cuticles out really good. It was just a horrible job. The gel was all over my cuticles so when I told them and I posted the pictures they wanted me to remove it. I said if someone fixes this, I'm gonna wait for it to grow a little more so that I could get a fresh gel set evenly done. Lady said she agreed she's the manager OK the day that she tells me to go I go she kind of like ignores me dismissing me telling me that she's really busy if I could come the next day at 12 o'clock well that day I call her and tell her that I'm gonna be on my way she says no I'm really busy now can you come later on or tomorrow? I said no how about I just go and get my money back and my tip that I gave her because I said to her you know very well. I showed you the pictures and you even said it was a bad job so at that point, I just walked over there and got my money back but still I want people to know what kind of job this woman did the one with gray hair and then the manager didn't handle it too well either telling me to come back very dismissive and I had translate a earbuds on and they were talking so bad about me. It was not real. I couldn't believe the things they were saying and that's the problem. They speak in their language and they think everybody doesn't know, but now with the earbuds, everybody could tell if they have it. I'm glad I did. This is why I posted this so people can see what they're about. Don't go there. I know these other reviews are saying how wonderful they are but mine wasn't that wonderful and I'm being very honest I have no reason to discredit a business for no reason. read more

Keep your money and go somewhere else! Here you will get a chunky set for $130... if I wanted my nails to be thick and have a valley on the bottom I would have don't them myself. I was shocked by the price and the nail tech kept saying "I'm lazy I don't like to file. I'm lazy" now my nails are chunky and multiple lengths. Don't even bother going read more

I've been meaning to write this for some time but ever since their management/owner changed in the fall this place has changed completely and not in a positive way. I only go every few months for a regular mani/pedi but I don't feel the cleanliness there as much as it was in the past. The last time I was there - the nail technician was in a rush to leave and the whole experience was uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. I also feel the services are overpriced for what is delivered. Not to mention they offer a "drink menu" water/seltzer/coffee - i accepted a drink but regretted it as the woman next me was having her nails electrically filed and I'm pretty sure it was flying into my drink LOL. EW. Even though this is only a few mins walk for me - I don't plan on being back and would rather travel further for places with more reasonable prices and better service. read more

Everyone was so kind!! Magna gave me the best pedicure- she took her time and didn't rush. While drying I received an amazing shoulder massage. I was so impressed by the cleanliness of the salon. I will definitely be back when I am in town next! When I got back to my hotel I realized my toes had all smudged and so I went back and they were so kind to fix them for me. read more

Every thing. I had a small service dog and the owner was very rude, I showed her documentation, and she still gave me attitude. One girl started my nails, another finished. I ended up with bleeding cuticles and skin hanging off my cuticles . It took over two weeks for my cuticles to heal. What a horrible experience all around. . read more

3 stars because the pedicures are 4-5 and gel mani was a 2. Averaging out the stars. The salon is clean and convenient for me and my 3 pedis in the past have always been good and decently thorough. I was desperate to get something done before a work trip so I went here. My gel mani however was horrible. I went about an hour before closing and the woman doing my nails was rushing to get out of there. She dry cut my cuticles without soaking and cut my nails too short. I got a pink Essie color and she put on three uneven coats and then used a thick top coat which didn't fully cure the first time so she layered more on. The topcoat less than a day later started to yellow for some reason. Overall very disappointed in the mani that was $40 before tip. read more

Great pedicures and manicures. They have really good massage chairs which are very relaxing while getting a pedicure. Gel manicures are great and I tried the dip powder once too. Also good. Long lasting. Good quality materials. Also a clean establishment. Im proud of them because they've upgraded their manicure chairs and stations. Business must be good. And they have smart management because the upgrades have lent to a nicer aesthetic and thus experience. I recently moved further away however will make the extra 20 min train ride because they are very good. read more

My go to nail spot! They always do a great job! Prompt service with a smile! It's affordable too!

First the positive...the place is clean, staff is friendly, location is great with street parking (during the day) conveniently within 1-2 blocks The not so great... attention to detail could be better. Nails weren't all properly filed, cuticles left on couple fingers. Extra charges...was charged extra for things at checkout that should have been mentioned when requested: charged extra on top of manicure to have nails buffed. Was charged extra $10 on top of eyebrow waxing, to wax the little fuzz by the eyebrows next to the eyes. read more

i give them one star only because the lady that did my nails did better then I expected. The owner or manager is a racist and a weirdo! I was over charged for basic services after I checked the manager for only telling me a woman of color to lower my voice when every white women in the salon was as loud as me! they also stuck me with the newest nail tech to basically use me as a guinea pig to see if her work as good enough! I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy and that the truth! I was charged $240 for a full tip /Gel French manicure and Regular gel French manicure! This place is a joke and I'm doing a story time on my TikTok about my experience! read more

I came in for a pedicure on a Saturday. The technician did a great job on my nails, but she was on her phone during the service, which felt unprofessional. I didn't say anything at the time, but it definitely took away from the overall experience. While my toes were drying, another staff member approached and asked if I wanted a massage. I said yes, assuming it was complimentary. She gave me a short, 10-minute massage that was just okay. When I went to check out, I was surprised to see I had been charged for it--bringing my total to $60, which I wasn't expecting. To be clear, I wouldn't have minded paying for the massage--I probably needed it! But I would have really appreciated a heads-up that the service wasn't free. It's less about the price and more about being given the choice to opt in. Transparency and communication go a long way in customer service. As I went to tip in cash, both staff members were on their phones. The nail technician looked up to say thank you for while the massage therapist didn't acknowledge me or say thank you until I was already walking out, despite her colleague trying to get her attention. While the pedicure itself was well done, the lack of professionalism and clear communication made the overall experience disappointing. I'm not sure if I'll be back. read more

Service was great. It was very calming in there. The vibe was just awesome. I love my nails they have never looked better! read more

This is my go-to spot in JC. The owner, Jessica, is a magician when it comes to UV gel. I used to drive all the way to Bellville (35 min one way!) just to go to a nail tech that was consistent. But now Grace has changed my life for the better. A 10 min walk from my apartment and no one better to do my UV gel fill. The salon is clean, bright, and always has a relaxing playlist on. Prepare to zen out in their massage chairs if you choose to get a pedicure as well.‍ Don't have time for a pedicure? 1. You should make the time. 2. Opt for a 10 min chair massage. Pro tip: pay in cash and get 10% back in the form of a gift card. That comes out to a free manicure every 10th visit. Don't sleep on Grace Nails and Spa‼ read more

This salon is nice and spacious and less busy than some of the others, so it's easier to get a spot. However.. the two times I've come in, the work has been below average. I stopped in for a pedicure. My toes weren't prepped well, and I could have painted my nails better myself. Nail polish is around the nail, and color is uneven. read more

Grace Nails used to be my go-to nail salon but after it came under new management, I have had to go elsewhere. While the salon is clean and the nail techs are nice, the prices are insanely expensive. I had acrylic removed + a dip manicure and it was $90 before the tip. The good part about the salon is that you can normally call within 24 hours and get an appointment. I used to love coming here but with the insane prices, I have started trying out new salons and only make an appointment if I am absolutely desperate. read more

I came here for the first time to get a gel fill-in and Jessica (or some other name starting with J, I forgot) was spectacular. I made a same day appointment and was seated immediately upon arrival on a Monday evening. The gel extensions I already had on were horrendous and Jessica was able to fix them up. She applied the fill-in and color carefully and even let me try out a color before deciding. I got 10% credit for my next visit for paying cash. I will definitely be coming back for Jessica. read more

Terrible experience! I really wanted to find a place close by and the salon came popped up. The service wasn't great at all. The owner was very rude to me and made me feel very uncomfortable. As a person of color I noticed that I was the only being treated like this. Majority of the clientele was white women and they were very attentive to them. I wouldn't go back and don't recommend. It's also super pricey. I paid 135 for a gel pedicure and filling..... read more

Pricey for the quality. Mani/pedis always applied unevenly. Dip nails should last 3-4 weeks but they lifted in two weeks and ripped some of the nails underneath. read more

My new favorite spot in JC! It's worth the 20 minute drive across town. I love how friendly and clean the environment is. The gel manicure I got has lasted me 4 weeks- other establishments would barely even have it last a week. The spa pedicure was so enjoyable. I love that they use a timer when doing the massage! read more

This salon and spa is lovely! Super clean, calming and detail oriented. I had a manicure and no details were overlooked. Highly recommended!

Gloria is quick and being nice. i also tried tissues massage once and it's good. i will keep going as a routine.

Not great. Got a manicure and pedicure here. The pedicure was ok, but the manicure was rushed and chipped within a day. There are better places to go than this. read more

Would not honor a gift card because THEIR record keeping is off. I was given a gift card to the salon about 18 months ago, so it is older, however it does not say that they expire. The owner was rude and acted like i was lying or trying to scam the shop. It was ridiculous. I won't return. Definitely don't buy a gift card for anyone here. read more

Just finished a manicure and eyebrow wax with Stella. No wait to get service at lunchtime which is great!

I'll def come back here. read more

Just had THE worst manicure EVER. It was so bad it ruined my day. It can't even be fixed because the woman, Nora, cut and filed several of my nails BELOW the nail bed. She butchered my skin, barely touched my cuticles, filed them square instead of round and left polish all over my skin. And it was a $13 manicure. Are you f%*ing kidding me?! The owner gave me a gift card....as if I'd really want to go back after this experience. Stay FAR, FAR away from this place. read more

I just went here to get UV gel, can't remember the technician's name but a Spanish lady . Her name was like Merlin Anyways,I told her what I want and she kept giving me reasons, so thou I could had done refill and save $50but I asked the lady to do a new set, aS I have moved here recently and I would like her to do a new set so there won't be any excuses about not doing a do job and blaming it on my previous nail technician. I have got beautiful nail beds and always get compliments from technicians, However, this lady from the moment I arrived she wasn't in mood, when I was talking to her and telling herwhat I exactly want she never had eye contact with me. I'm sweet aNd I aLways say please and address everyone with Yes Ma'am or Yes sir . Regardless of the positionS She was realLy harsh when buffing my nails and I asked her : please would you be gentle , she never acknowledged. Then again took my cuticle off with buffer and mY reactions was ouch, it started bleeding and she didn't acknowledge. Last time when she took the whole skin Off with buffer and a started bleeding .. same , she didn't acknowledge. Thinking to myself what the hell .... I remind her again , that absoultqly is rude not to even apologize for your harshness . She continued buffing and I told her how she's done it is horrible and my gels are each nail goes to different directioN and looks awful and are ugly and she said : it's your nails and it's nothing to do with me. She throw her things in the drawer and said I'm not doinG it and let someone else handles you . SHe went to the bathroom, manager came over just listen to my request and I saiD this is not acceptable and rude of her to act like this . I stood up to leave and she came out and said , aww I know why you are acting like this , because you don't waana pay and I said : if I didn't wanna pay. I woUld had let you finIsh the whole thIng and then leave I gave her $20 tip which she didn't deserve but I paid for her time and walked out I wouldn't recommend whatever her name is read more

Been here for pedicure before and it was good so decided to come back and try the manicure. However, I've never encountered any technicians asking to tip them before service and this actually happened in this salon, which was very off putting. Plus the work was mediocre, so I won't go back for manicure. read more

I'm on the search for a nail salon in jersey city. I went here with a friend. She got a gel manicure and I got a pedicure (didn't need a manicure at the time). I love how big the place it. The technicians were nice enough and they were very patient with us and accommodated us talking across them to each other. My pedicure was relaxing and lasted about three weeks. I'm happy. I can't personally speak to the manicure but my friend was happy. read more

I called for an appointment and it was granted same day which was amazing and to top it off the owner took off my UV gel nails and gave me a clean natural gel manicure in under 45 minutes. I am so pleased with the service, cleanliness, and store energy was so soothing. Thanks again! read more

I have been going to this salon since I moved to Jersey City 5 years ago and have LOVED IT. Management changed this year and the work has gone down hill with every gel manicure chipping within the week if not the same day AND they are now charging $40 for a gel manicure and $35 for a regular pedicure that is truly nothing special. I'd be willing to pay the up-charge for above average services, but this is an ok salon charging premium prices. Needless to say I will be saving $20 and going to another local salon who doesn't gouge their customers. read more

I went for manicure and pedicure there. Not happy with the outcome. The girl who did my manicure and pedicure spoke very little english, i had a hard time following her. I showed her a pic of the french manicure design i wanted and she ended up painting a single colour on my feet. She moved me to work on my hands and I asked her if she will complete french manicure pattern afterwards and she was confused. I think she was not happy and told me that it will be $5 extra each for my hands and feet. I told her i was fine. she asked me to pay up first then she continued to work on my hands. I think i could have done a better job at home. My nails look messy, not at all worth $53 and additional tip. I will not go back and will not recommend it to anyone. Just want to add that it did not even last me 2 full weeks. It started coming off in between my vacation. Posting the pic of my nails. read more

Grace Nails & Spa - My manicure did not even last me 2 weeks. Infact it started peeling in between my vacation just after a week. - Nail Salons Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Came here bc of the convenience. The gel manicure has lasted me 3 weeks thus far and is holding up quite well. I will say though that the next day and day after, my cuticles were peeling like crazy. Not ideal for the wedding I attended. Also, the woman who did my pedicure was very aggressive while pushing and trimming cuticles. One of my toes ended up being very inflamed that night and into the next day of travel. The polish job also didn't last very long, which is surprising bc typically the polish on my toes lasts longer. Not sure if this place is worth a second try.. read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for around 4 years and would definitely recommend it. The prices are slightly higher than some of the cheaper nail salons in Manhattan, but the quality makes it worth the price. I've tried several other nail salons in both manhattan and Jersey City and I always come back to Grace Nails and Spa. Friendly staff, good selection of colors and never have to wait too long. The gel color usually lasts 2-3 weeks. I've visited other places where it has peeled off in a week! Hence why I keep coming back here. They also do a rewards scheme which is nice! read more

Walked in on a Saturday midday without an appointment looking for a mani and pedi. It was pretty crowded so I winded up waiting ~10-15 min until I was brought to a pedicure chair. To preface, I didn't enjoy the pedicure or manicure. There was a 2 second massage on each foot/leg during the pedicure. The woman who did the pedi and then mani seemed pissed off the whole time and was speaking in an angry tone in Spanish to her coworkers. The mani wasn't luxurious either and felt rushed. The mani/pedi winded up being $43 and wasn't worth the price. I've found comparable pricing in Manhattan for a much better experience. The service wasn't great, the mani and pedi weren't enjoyable, and I didn't feel like it was immaculately clean. I will not be coming back. Side note - when I was moved to dry my nails, I was brought to a seat where the hand dryer was broken. I tried moving to the next seat and turning that fan on and messed up a nail in the process. I went to the manager at the front desk and she said no one could help me because everyone was busy...why couldn't she help out? I showed that I was angry and then she immediately had someone come and fix my nail. Also, no one offered to help me put my sandals on or remove the paper between my toes. Poor service. read more

I only visit Grace nails out of last minute convenience - I truly tried to like this place due to it's highly convenient location but I just never have a good experience. I drive to my home town an hour away now just to get my nails done. On my first visit - loved it, the girl did a nice job and they give a great pedicure. However, I went back on my second visit. The woman tried to charge me $100.00 for a gel manicure, WHAT! She also didn't speak English, and took off my gels like you would an acrylic nail and RUINED MY NAILS. They became brittle and weak for about three months after that. I was so upset. I went back again four months later because I was in desperate need of a pedicure. Out of ten chairs, I was the only person getting a pedicure and my chair was broken. The massage is the best part, I had a long day and just wanted to relax. Mid-pedicure they said I could move (they knew before hand it was broken), why would you sit me there? It's a nice concept, they give good pedicures and nice massages but the service is just terrible. If you are going to do it - do it right. I do not recommend this place. Will be trying the nail salon in 70 Greene today. read more
