    This was my first time there. I read the reviews and saw pictures. I originally had the dip powder and I wanted to switch to gel polish. My one thumb was shorter than the rest, but I had a tip on it to make it even. Once the tip came off I asked the girl if she could just make all my nails the same length and change my shape to square and she said okay. But all she did was shape my shorter nail and left the rest longer and never shaped the others. I'm very awkward when it comes to saying something so I just let it be and came home I cut all my nails to the same length and shaped them as I wanted it. I'm very disappointed and upset I will not be coming back.

    If I could give a 0 star review I would. I asked Erika for a simple gel manicure and regular pedicure that matched. And I've been getting that same service at many different salons for years. I picked out my color and she did the pedicure and it was fine not perfect but fine for $20. We get to the manicure and I don't notice until after but she cuts all of my nails crooked. I asked for a very simple square cut and she butchered my nails. Then she obviously couldn't find the color I picked out and pretended like she did. I asked her if she found it and she said yes. So I believed her even when it looked off because sometimes colors do look different on the nails. But we she was done and i looked at the color i had originally picked it was NOT that color. Its an ugly grey and now $50 later my toes and nails don't match my nails are crooked. Even my bail beds don't look nice she barely cleaned them. I am PISSED OFF and I will never go here again. I will tell everyone I know to never go here. Idk who qualifies your manicurists but they obviously cant give manicures BONUS: the massage chair i was in was broken tried telling her but she didnt listen to me

    Fourth of July manicure! Thank you Happy New Nails!

    This is my new favorite nail salon! Such a relaxing atmosphere and everything is so clean! Monica ( owner ) and the rest of the staff are extremely nice and accommodating to customers. Best manicure and pedicures around! If you live in the Cedar Grove area I highly suggest you give Happy New Nails a try!

    On Friday, I decided to check out the new nail salon that just opened near my house. The place that…read morewas there before wasn't so great, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, my expectations were definitely exceeded. For starters, the place looks great inside. The new owners have done an amazing job decorating and it now looks more elegant than it did before. I got there as soon as they opened and decided on a mani/pedi. The place was immaculate, there were plenty of OPI and Essie colors to choose from and the woman who did my nails - Sandra - was wonderful, personable, and excellent at her job. I especially appreciated the mini massage that she gave me on my shoulders as I waited for my nails to dry! I have to say that I got a way better mani/pedi than ones that I've gotten at a certain large salon/spa in Montclair for half the price ($26!!). Needless to say, this alone would have been enough to make me come back. But what happened AFTER my services is what really will keep me coming back... Like a moron, I left my engagement ring in the ring keeper after I got my heavenly hand massage. This wasn't just any ring. It once belonged to my husband's grandmother. So, as you can guess, it's pretty invaluable in a sentimental kind of way. Of course, I didn't realize the ring was missing until that evening. Frantic, I tried to retrace my steps, thinking about where I could have lost it. I finally realized that it must have been at the nail salon. As you can imagine, I had a fitful night of sleep that evening! I arrive at the salon the next morning - a full 24 hours after I had left it - thinking for sure that it wouldn't be there. It was. I couldn't believe it! A number of things could have happened, but Sandra recognized me as soon as I arrive and got the owner/manager to get my ring. There aren't many people or businesses who are this honest. They have a client for life! FYI...There is plenty of parking on the street, but there is also a small lot on the side of the building.

    I've been coming to nail story spa for years simply because it's THE best nail salon in NJ/NY. I've…read morebeen to so many salons in the area, but this spa takes the cake. They really know what they're doing - I get my nails customized here and they're always sooooo spot on!!! Just bring in a picture and Angie can literally duplicate it. Most nail salons tend to be dirty, but like how the other reviewers have mentioned, this place is super clean and professional. Plus the prices are reasonable - I cannot recommend this place enough!! I suggest making an appointment in advance for the best experience!!

    I have been going to Soledads since 2008. The primary service that i go for is the sugar waxing. My…read morefirst waxing experience was at a very well know establishment in the city "known" for waxing, I never went back. This place was recommended to me by a dear friend and I'm so happy she did. I have NEVER gone back to hot wax and never will. First its way more sanitary. they are not using the same hot wax that has been sitting in that heat all day that has been dipped into over and over. Also it does not burn your skin so if your like me and your sensitive, it works. It takes about 20 min and best part, its way cheaper than that hot wax crap (about average $45 for Brazilian depending) and way less painful that's for sure. I have since then recommend several people all who swear by this place and go faithfully every few weeks. The owner is definitely accommodating. I call or text her and she makes my appointments no problem. If I am late she tries and works with me. I love her. She is the sweetest. If your someone that does the hot wax thing, give this process a try. I absolutely will not Hot wax ever. Sugaring is the best in my opinion.

    I have been going to this nail salon for almost a year and have actually always enjoyed the service…read morethere. The girls that work there are great it's a nice salon. I got my first set of acrylic tips and nails a few weeks ago. I went this past Sunday to get a fill in and there are apparently only a couple of techs in this salon do acrylic nails. The girl that did my nails was not the person that normally does my gel manicures. The manager/owner assured me that this nail tech was very good. When I sat down I told her that I did not want gel on top of my acrylic because I noticed she had a bottle of gel nail color and she said OK. Then she told me it was going to be $70 for a fill-in and I almost fell out of my chair. I've never paid more than $30-$40 tops. I asked her again are you sure you charge $70 for a regular acrylic nail fill and she said yes. I didn't want to cause a scene so I just sat there and let her do my nails at a premium which is ridiculous. Plus she put gel on my nails after I specifically told her I did not want it. She had quite an attitude with me as well. I really should have requested a refund or gotten up and left but I didn't. So after almost a year of having pleasant experiences I will no longer go to this salon. To have been charged that amount of money for a simple fill in is ludicrous and they should understand that there are nail salons pretty much on every corner that people can choose to go to. Good luck!!

    I love this salon sooo much!!! The girls are so great and they always do such a great job! I highly…read morerecommend this nail salon. Just remember to make an appointment because it does get pretty busy there.

    Detailed Account of Negligent Service Formal Complaint…read moreRegarding Negligent Eyebrow Waxing Service and Subsequent Skin Damage Service Performed: Eyebrow Shaping and Waxing Time of Service: April 2025, Esthetician: T. Result: Severe skin damage requiring immediate medical attention, resulting in prolonged physical and professional inconvenience. During the service, I experienced clear indications of improper technique and negligent care: Excessive Heat: The applied beeswax felt excessively hot, indicating an improper temperature setting. Aggressive Removal: The removal of the wax sheet by the esthetician was noticeably aggressive and forceful. Immediate Pain & Acknowledgment: Immediately after the wax removal, I informed the esthetician, Treasure, that the areas above and between my eyebrows were extremely painful. Negligent Aftercare: I questioned whether a proper post-wax cleanser (such as rubbing alcohol) had been used. Treasure confirmed that "No" such cleanser was applied. I was only advised to use a generic ointment and Vitamin E oil. Upon returning home, the painful area above and between my eyebrows became severely red and inflamed. I subsequently confirmed that the skin in these blotches-on both sides above the brow and between the brows-had been physically lifted and removed (skin abrasion/burn). Current State of Injury: The damaged area has progressed from red to pink and is now a noticeable brown/hyperpigmented color. Permanent Damage: The injury to the skin, particularly above the left eyebrow, remains visible even after two professional consultations, indicating permanent damage and a high risk of long-term scarring. Personal and Professional Impact: I have been forced to stay indoors and rigorously avoid all sun exposure to prevent further hyperpigmentation. This has caused significant personal and professional inconvenience, including the cancellation of scheduled appointments. Initial In-Person Follow-Up: I returned to the salon to show the extent of the damage. I spoke with an employee named Emily, who confirmed the owner / manager was unavailable. Broken Financial Commitment: The business owner promised in written format to reimburse all current and future dermatology visit fees related to this injury. However, the owner failed to follow through on this commitment, and all subsequent attempts to contact them regarding payment have been ignored. Lack of Response to Third Party: I filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), but the business owner did not respond to the inquiry at all, demonstrating a profound lack of professionalism and accountability. This incident reflects a severe lapse in professional standards, commitment, and customer care. I have suffered a painful and lasting physical injury, permanent damage to my left eyebrow, and significant inconvenience due to the negligence of the esthetician and the subsequent failure of the business owner to uphold their financial commitment and basic professional responsibility.
