I walked in on Aug 10 at 6:10 PM (last minute appointment) and they welcomed me in. I was sketchy because I'm very picky about my nails, and it was my first time here. I was serviced by Miss Carla and she was fabulous. I love the way she shaped my nails, and despite them closing in 50 minutes she took her time and went through every step. read more

So..... I tried a new nail salon today hoping this would be it. It is closer to my job and I decided to try it. I made an appointment and as soon as I walked in the lady seemed upset and bothered. I always get powder dip, This is what I like to use on my nails because it last longer and less maintenance. She was pulling my hand closer to her and I felt like she didn't want to be uncomfortable and even told me to move my chair a certain way. I asked her to clean underneath my nail and she said later ..... well at this point my facial expression said it all I decided I will no longer give tip to anyone that didn't work for it and that wasn't even kind to me. #tips #nailsalon stop expecting tips if don't put in the work. Still looking for a good nail salon for my nails #bekind read more

Clean salon, friendly staff, good service. Been going there for a number of years. Lots of regulars.

My go-to mani/pedi place where every job's a perfect 10 or 20. My bro's ex-ex-ex girlfriend introduced me to this spot 11 years ago and though I now live twice as far away, I super prefer it to any place closer to home. The owner and staff remain very friendly as they continue extremely careful work. In fact, their UV-gel manicures last at least 3 weeks on me. Their included massages are amazing and they have excellent ventilation. Two thumbs and big toes up! This nail salon's the best in the area- hands-down! TIPS: **Though walk-ins are welcome and given an estimated wait time, I strongly recommend booking an appointment because they're very busy. **Street parking's available in front or around the corner on Leo St. **Wheelchair-accessible. **Gender-neutral bathroom. read more

Very nice people, attentive and listened to what i asked for. the place was nice and clean and sterile

This nail salon does a really good job. They're always on point with their appointments. I've been going here since April of 2022, and I'm loving it! read more

They took me right in with no appt, and the staff was professional and friendly. The facility was very clean as well. read more

Have been going here for Gel for a few years now. Michelle does a great job and my nails last between 4-5 weeks at times. Have never had to return because of a broken nail or problem with a job. I also feel she's quick and always on time. This could be because there is never any conversation. so if you're looking for polite chit chat, she's not the one for you. Lastly, I wish they had new colors. I see the same color wheel every time I go. Other than that, I would highly recommend Michelle and Hi-Q Nails. I don't usually get pedicures there, but have heard they are very good. read more

ive mostly had great experiences here. they always fit me in whenever I need an appointment and my nails have always looked great. A gel manicure is only 25 dollars... super affordable I did have an incident when the manicurist did not put the topcoat at the end and when I said something she pretended that she forgot. As soon as I said something she put the top coat on and the manicure looked great. it was a little frustrating though that she tried to get away with not finishing. read more

Terrible job. I got SNS and the lady then put gel as the top coat. Didn't clean any of the debris before putting the gel on top so under it all you saw was dust. Later that night the gel top coat started to lift and peal off. I went to have it fixed and the only person available was the same lady that did a terrible job the first time. She did a terrible job the second time as well and was rude when I asked her not to put the gel top coat again. Don't waste your money and go somewhere else because this place is absolutely terrible. If I could give it no stars I would. read more

Good Nail service. The thing I don't like it that there are always kids there, some are the owners and some of another technician. The kids are constantly demanding their attention. (One even sat in technicians chair when she stood to get hot hand towel and wouldn't leave chair for her to sit when technician returned). they thought that was funny. Been there twice and the same experience. Nail service took longer due to this. read more

Loved my gel pedicure 10/10! I didn't have an appointment I just walked in and they were able to service me. Everything is clean and modern

Getting my nails done is part of a routine and I don't need any extra fluff. I need to be in and out with nails that look good and will last. Gel nails are my favorite because they look well kept and intact longest. I'm a nurse and I need to wash my hands like a million times a day. Not every place I've gotten gel in can get it right. There have been times they chip even as soon as the next day because of the line of work I'm in. Also, some peeps can't get the smoothness to extend to the end of the cuticle. Coming here I had my doubts, but I was referred by a valid source #shoutouttoFlorenceC. So here I am 1 week later and my gel is intact! Worked four 12 hour shifts in a row without a chip or loss of shine. I didn't feel like I was pampered, but I don't need to be because getting my nails done is part of a check off list so don't come here if you need a lot of attention. It's not that kind of party. My pedicure was also done very well and it was not the same person who did it so I believe the standard of care is pretty consistent here. I will totally be coming back. Like I said I'm simple I need functional cute nails and this place delivers. read more

Hi-Q Nj Nails - My spring fling! - Nail Salons Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I think I finally found my "go to" place. The place is a nice size and very clean. I made an appointment so there was no wait time at all. I was put in the pedicure chair immediately and while there, another employee came over and started the removal process for my gel nails. My pedicure was done very well and so was my manicure. I really like how they give you a massage at the end of each service. I also like how the place is managed. You can tell that the owner runs a tight ship. All of the employees are focused on the customers and no one is sitting there playing on their phones. I return in 2 weeks and I'm hoping to have another nice experience. read more

Love the staff! Love the prices and the work is so great! Haven't gone anywhere new since I found this place

This salon closes at 7:30pm. I went in after work around 6pm looking to simply remove my gel manicure. I was greeted in a rude manner by the owner who quickly dismissed me after stating that there wasn't enough time for a fill in. I responded that I only wanted to have my polish removed. He again repeated that there wasn't enough time. I confirmed that they close at 7:30pm and then asked how an hour and a half wasn't enough time when the salon was empty. The owner ignored my question and began talking on the phone. Very rude! At the time, the salon only had TWO customers. I will never step foot back in this salon. read more

I was really excited to get dipping powder here as a friend comes here. SatI was there and the manicurist was extremely rude to me she kept yelling at me to relax bc my fingers get tense without me knowing. When removing my powder and I said that hurt she went harder. When she was showing my the color options she wouldn't let me hold it and would kinky show me the first set I asked for a lighter color she gave me attitude. I picked a light sheet pink but it was very pink but not 100% sheer. She was giving me nasty looks the whole time and when she was done I was honestly afraid to speak up. This is what my nails looked like when I left! It doesn't even look like I have powder. I'm disgusted that she didn't offer a third coat or say are you sure this is okay? But I was honestly scared to speak up bc she was being so harsh on me. I have been getting dip on and off for 5 years and have never had this issue read more

I called to make an appointment for a manicure/ pedicure around 5 pm(store closed at 7:30) the owner picked up and said "there is no one available until 6:30" okay that's fine. I walk in at 6:25 and he greater me at the door "Pick a color" so I said are these the same as gel? He says I asked you if you wanted a manicure pedicure I said yes I do Gel manicure and pedicure. Not a big deal right?!?! His whole tone changed and got very nasty said NO I asked you and you said regular manicure and pedicure. I'm not the one who likes being talked down to so I respectfully said "sir, if it's a problem I'll take my business somewhere else" without stutter he responded YES please do. I really feel like this store owner is such a rude man and this review is necessary. He was so quick to turn me away after he made me wait for the appointment. Don't give him your business! Maybe he didn't like the way I looked. read more

If I could , I would honestly put no stars . I called around noon and asked if they had anything available . The lady told me to come in around 4:30pm , well guess what ? I got there at 4:30 and they turned us down . They said they had nothing available .. I was so upset because it was already pretty late to go and search for a substitute place to go to . I have been here previously and enjoyed their pedicures , they added olive oil to my heels and that really helped with my dry heels .. but What they did today was so messed up on so many levels . read more

Not very happy with they're service. I miss the other owner. No walk ins, you need an appt. The Hispanic lady did my nails, however she's not licensed to do so, I didn't say anything but got really annoyed when it didn't last; gel manicure. Even the polish they gave must be old since it was chipping off my toes and pedicures --a good one lasts at least a month. Not impressed. I went next door spent more but I knew it would be done correctly. read more

AMAZING!!!!! This my second visit!! Last time Karina did my gel manicure and she did an OUTSTANDING JOB :) Truly one of the greatest if not the best nail salon I have ever visited!! Judy did my gel manicure and Vicky did my pedicure!!! Both did a phenomenal job!! The gel manicure was done to perfection and she was careful not the destroy the bed of my nails buffing off the residue from my last gel manicure. My pedicure was also done to perfection. Vicky took her time and did an amazing job. Wish I lived closer because this would be my ever other week salon!!! Love love loveeeeee!! Thank you!! Ps.... The employees all are friendly and sweet!!!!! read more

Hi-Q Nj Nails - Bestttttttt GEL manicure!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I've passed this salon quite a few times in the last 5 years and finally went in for a last min. Mani and eyebrows. I have to say this is one of the better nail places in the "five points" area (I've been to them all!) First of all, it was quiet, non crowded and Ellen was on! The woman who did my eyebrows did an okay job (I'm usually really picky with where I get them waxed but I really needed them cleaned out). She took her time on the manicure and it came out close to flawless. What I appreciate most are the little add-ons, such as the hand scrub and hand/arm massage during the mani And the neck and shoulder rub when I sat down at the dryer. I definitely plan on going back. read more

$25 for mani/pedi is good. It's disturbingly quiet in there and the lady went a bit too fast, I barely got to relax but she did a decent job. Still on the hunt for my go-to place... read more

To be upset with the way my mother and I were treated is an understatement. I come here all the time for pedicures because I love the extra touches they do. I called on Tuesday to make an appointment for 2 pedicures and 1 manicure for Thursday at 3:30. Lady confirmed day and time multiple times before hanging up. Fast forward to today (Thursday) I walk in with my mother (who's birthday it is by the way) and they did not have my appointment in their book and said it may have been booked incorrectly. Instead of accommodating us especially for my mother since it was her birthday he just stood there and looked at me like I was wrong for being there. I had no words! I just turned around and walked out. Super rude. It's unfortunate because I really liked their pedicures but their attitudes ruined it all. read more

Went on a Monday night and made an appointment but the appointment was last minute. The thing that bothered me the most I made the appointment at 6:30 but they rushed to leave at like 7:15 and the place closes at 7:30. Like come on that's very unprofessional. Next time I'll give this place a 5 star if they don't rush to do your nails. read more

The lady who did my nails ruined the round shape I already had. Now some are square and so.e round. My french manicure is so uneven too. Some of the white lines are thicker the the other. Horrible. read more

Hi-Q Nj Nails - Getting pedicure, miss my pedi in cali. - Nail Salons Near Me - Union, New Jersey

The service is great, recently used the Gel nail and I am happy to see how long it is lasting.

The Owner of this nail salon does not know the definition of customer service, he is all about his own pocket and nothing else. I was going to this nail salon for years, only because I like the girl that did my nails and the other girls seem to be nice as well. He doesn't allow for you to include the tips with your debit/credit card payment, so I had to stop at the ATM to be able to tip my manicurist. Because of this one day I got to my appointment 15 minutes late, and he put someone else in my appointment chair, no phone call from him, he just cancelled my appointment. Meanwhile a year before I had an appointment , got to the salon and it was closed. He had people doing cosmetic repairs, he never called me to reschedule the appointment that day, I found out when I got to the front door. I work hard for my money, and as I told him there are plenty of nail salons in Union. When I left there I went to another nail salon and scheduled an appointment for the next morning somewhere else. He need to practice what he preaches and learn that in the USA we pay for customer service. read more

It takes a lot to get me to write a review so this should be saying something! I came in today with no appointment and was sat immediately. The woman doing my gel manicure was amazing. She took her time and her attention to detail was unparalleled by most places I've been too that just seem to rush you out. Not the case here. You even get a shoulder massage as you wait for your nails to dry. I've never had a better manicure. This is definitely my new spot. read more

If your looking to be pampered,go to Hi-Q! I've been going there since I was little with my mom,and now it's my main place to be,and on weeks days mani-pedis are on sale!!! PERFECTION! Massage chairs,spa treatment,quality service,amazing employees,and relaxing atmosphere! What more could you ask for when trying to step away from reality and just RELAX! read more

This is my first time getting my nails done here. I got a pedicure and a manicure for $50. The facilities are clean and they really take their time with you. I was very satisfied. Reservations are required though. read more

Second visit to the salon. Not as happy this time around. Maybe it's cause of the busy holidays or unsure but did a gel manicure and it lasted 3 days and the pediacure I can say wasn't done to my satisfaction. Very disappointing. read more

I needed a pedicure at the last minute and they got me in after I called them for an appointment. I'm very particular about my nails since I've been doing nails more than 15 years, but we've moved here a lil over a year ago and I haven't been doing nails since we got here cuz I've been in school, but to have someone do it without me complaining or telling them how I want it, felt really good. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

I went in for a color change, asking for a french manicure. I have been here before and I love their service. But today, I was no impressed. She was clearly in a rush to get my nails done, and when drawing the white line, did not draw them even or straight. I was disappointed with today's service. read more

It usually gets very busy on the weekends. So either schedule an appointment or come as soon as they open.

I have gone to most nail salons in Union & once I gave Hi-Q a try I have never gone anywhere else. Mon-Wed they have a mani/pedi special for $25. If I can't make it those days I don't mind paying $5 more because they really take care of you here. They take their time and give great little shoulder massages while you dry. I recommend this nail salon to anyone in the area! read more

My mom and I have been going here for years! The place is very clean- the owner and staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. They do a phenomenal job with nails and waxing- they take their time and make sure you are happy! When your nails are drying they come around and give you a 3 minute back massage- its so relaxing! I do recommend that you call and make an appointment ahead of time. read more
