$15 for a basic manicure that lasted less than 10 minutes and did not include a massage, moisturizing, absolutely anything besides basic filing and cuticles. She didn't even shape My nails very well. Painting job was fine. Rip off considering how many decent nail places there are in this area with much more pampering services for the same Amount Or even less. Told the owner and she didn't do much besides offer to put lotion on my hands lol Won't be back. read more

I live far from this nail place now and still take the drive to go because they do nails so good. Even with work they last long and stay nice. I have tried other places and are never happy with how they come out. This place does a great job for a good price! read more

Had to correct nail technician multiple times. Terrible customer service. looks absolutely nothing like what I asked for. Lines are terrible not straight at all. read more

Was recommended by a friend, best place yet no complaints definitely tell my friends to come very friendly

Went here for the first time as a walk in the other day. I felt as if I was rushed a bit and at least 3 people touched my nails but at the same time I understand that i was a walk in and they squeezed me in. I'm grateful that they squeezed me in because I really love how my Gel manicure turned out :) the only thing I can honestly complain about is that my nails aren't straight... some are a bit slanted but nothing too serious. Would definitely come back agai. Update: nails lasted 2 full weeks and only had one minor chip. Definitely going back read more

Love doing my nails here, excellent services and nice people... love it, they make you feel peaceful and relax!

I'm only giving it a 2 instead of 1 because the first time i went here it went fine. Second time i came in i got Ilda (please, run if you get this nail tech) and she, no exaggeration needed, turned my beautiful shape into a jagged toothpick. It was my nail bed and then a sharp line down the center of my nail because she kept knicking the sides so much it went that far down. I asked if she was going to re do my tip on this one nail where there was almost nothing left and instead just plopped acrylic overtop in an odd shape. Then she did that to all my other nails and filed them into an uneven coffin... by that i mean my nail angles were slanting ALL over. Then jenny took over because i guess she saw how badly this lady was f*cking up my nails and not listening to me when i asked for her to fix them. They came out okay for the most part and i even planned on coming back. That was until i went to pay and Jenny had the nerve to say "only 35, we wONT CHARGE YOU FOR THE ACRYLIC FIX." Hun, i sat in your salon for nearly an hour & a half for a fill because your lady messed my nails up and you have the nerve to say that to me? nuh uh, i was ready to see some sort of discount after that bull. Anyways, never coming here again, best of luck to them though. Hope they train Ilda some day. (for the sake of my kindness, it's worth mentioning my friend's nails came out good every time. i just was unlucky.) read more

We got there at 2 for a walk in (which they accept! Was looked at funny. Then told "come back later", then we called and confirmed an appointment for 5 o'clock and were ignored until 5:30 when we walked out. read more

Best service I've had in a really long time! First time here and will be back for sure. Was taken in right away and although it was the woman's first day she did not get frustrated or make me feel uncomfortable. read more

Jenny is the absolute best. I've tried so many nail salons in the area and the customer service cannot compare to Jenny's and her staff. They make you feel welcome and they are extremely efficient. Her staff is great! Lizett provides such great service. I love coming to this salon and you will too! read more

I normally get my nails done here and they always do a great job. Had my first pedi and was very satisfied. Lots of color options and staff is friendly. Clean and modern decor. Just what I needed on a long Monday evening!!! Recommended this place to my friend and now she's a satisfied customer as well! read more

HQ Nails - Just got a French ombré manicure by Rachel and it's absolutely beautiful. They never rush on my nails and The salon is clean and relaxing. - Nail Salons Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

This was a nice place and I loved the online booking and text communication to confirm. I got a full uv gel set and the price was very reasonable for the time spent. I started with a gentleman that was very nice. My service was completed by a pleasant woman that was on her phone a bit of the time...not extremely professional, but I don't think it affected the quality. It didn't seem to add on time because she held the phone in her ear while she worked. Nevertheless, my nails came out exactly in the shape and design I requested. I will give this a second try because of the pricing and the ease of booking. read more

Tina did a great job. Will try ombré next time. The main reason I go here, variety of design styles available. They have many.

Jenny was very nice and was able to get me an appointment right away. But unfortunately four of my nails chipped within a week.

I have been going to Jenny for a long time. She is very artistic, creative and does beautiful artwork but I was there on Saturday and had studs put on, as I usually do, but they are already coming off after a few days. This used to happen a lot in the past too but Jenn was able to finally secure them by adding extra gel so the problem was solved for a long time but this is happening again and this really disappoints me since it's costly and they shouldn't be coming off especially after few days! read more

I really like the job she does on my nails and I will return but....I always make an appointment and I'm NEVER taken on time. I make an appointment for the first appointment of the day and well in advance. How can you let me sit there and wait while you get settled for the day! Come into work 15 minutes before your first appointment instead of making me wait 15 minutes. Then she is on her phone most of my appointment time talking to her husband and/or scheduling appointments because there is no receptionist. Today I waited 20 minutes (and I was on time). I finally asked how much longer and she said 30 minutes. What? She told me they took a walk in who didn't have an appointment and now I would have to wait. Hmmm why bother making an appointment? The staff is all very pleasant but there needs to be a little more professionalism. read more

I'm sooo disappointed. Been coming here for months and the past few times I was kept waiting for my appt but because it wasn't too long, I didn't mind. Today was different. My nail lady was out. I was told to wait. She was taking her daughter somewhere I was told. 25 mins later she arrived and my nails got done. Next was my pedicure. 40 mins I sat with my feet in cold water with everyone ignoring me. When I tried to get eye contact no-one even looked my way. Called out the Manager but she didnt hear me over the music. When the girl came to start on my toes I asked for her not to cut them too short. She literally cut 3 toenails right into the skin where I have very little nail left for polish never mind 2 of them were cut at bad angles where the outer edges were longer than the middle where the skin was showing. Unacceptable. I feel that they are too busy focusing on walk-ins who in my opinion should wait until those of us that have appts are "seen to" first. Sadly to say as a very loyal client I will have to find another salon. Gutted that an existing customer who is a regular every 2 weeks is treated like this. read more

I had a manicure pedicure at hq nails. I didn't see any pricing on the wall so just assumed it was $25-$30. When I was finished I was told it was $40! The pedicure was just ok. The manicure was terrible. Every nail was not filed straight. Had no hand cream or massage on my hands and my cuticles were just pushed back and it hurt. Polish only lasted one day and it started peeling. Would never return to this nail facility read more

Amazing nail salon ! I showed Jenny a picture and she did exactly what i wanted. It was an amazing job! The best nails i ever had for such a cheap price as well. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here for the past few months. Jenny and her staff are the sweetest and always take care of me. My nails always come out beautifully and if there is any issue, it is always fixed. read more

Great salon! Very clean inside and everyone is so friendly. I've been coming here for a few months and have nothing but a wonderful experience each time. read more

This is now my favorite nail salon. Everyone is so nice. I waited a couple of months to write my review to see how I enjoyed going and how the service was. Jenny is such a sweet person and as the owner she is always there to be sure you are taken care of. I've always been a walk in client and never waited long. I had a repair on a split nail that was needed along with my gel manicure and they did it complimentary. So far I've had 3 different technicians and I've been happy with all. Last time I had Lis (not sure spelling) and she was great. 2 weeks later my gel overlay and polish is flawless. This place is awesome and very friendly. Definitely try them. read more

I was a regular. The wait time even with appointments was horrible. last time I went I got there early and they took a "walk in" at MY appointment time while I sat there and waited! I spoke up and they told me I should just wait 20 min. I told them they didn't respect their client's time. I ended up being there my entire Saturday afternoon. from 1-5. I then got a call from Jenny's husband telling me not to come back on Saturdays because I was being too difficult. don't waste your time here - there are other quality places read more

Had my nails done here and I love them! Jenny does a great job and my manicure lasts for 2 full weeks! Will definitely come back as a reguler customer. read more

Six ladies walk into a nail salon for a girls' morning before a family wedding! Amazing experience, great service!

This nail salon just opened so everything is brand new and clean. The nail techs were so nice and did a great job. They were so meticulous. I got a regular mani and pedi. The pedi was great. They use a tub liner, they give you a choice of different aromatherapy creams and hot stone and wax therapy. Manicure was also great. They have million gel colors and they said they have regular colors to match pedicures. Overall great. I was a walk in on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty, most likely because they just opened. They also have me a gift at they end!! read more

First time there.. disappointed.. asked for my nails one way and they were done totally different.. I doubt I will return.

I came to this nail salon wanting to try a new place for acrylics. I usually go to hot tips when I want acrylics but I decided to try a new place since hot tips is really booked right now . I honestly feel like I waisted an hour and a half of my time. I first showed the lady what I wanted and she told me she couldn't do it but it was a very simple design. After hearing that I decided to just do white acrylic nails. I told her ahead of time that I want them to be very natural looking and I do not want chunky thick nails. She said she understood and confirmed with me that I wanted natural looking nails. After I was done my nails were very very thick and chunky and the polish was so messy. I had glue and white nail polish on my fingers. An hour after my polish was already stained. I was so upset I left and went to another nail salon just to get them removed the same exact day. It took 47 minutes to remove my nails from how thick they were. If you don't want chunky acrylics I would suggest not going here. :) read more

Rachel is the best at acrylics she always does a perfect job. The place is clean and they don't over charge my fill is $35 with any design,color, and style. I also call before I come in and never have to wait longer than 5 minutes. I recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

I went to this salon for a regular manicure, and I would say the experience was very okay. It was convenient and nothing was really bad, it just wasn't great. For $15, you get your nails cleaned up and painted, and the only spa type treatment offered is a 30 second hand rub with lotion. At other salons in the area, I am accustomed to getting at least 5 minutes of pampering, with sugar scrubs, long massages, cuticle oil, and a shoulder rub at the end, all for an equivalent price or lower. So the experience was a bit of a letdown, but my nails look great. read more

Love them! Jenny the owner always does my nails. I don't wait too long less than 10 minutes with an appointment. I go monthly and my nails last and still look nice. read more

i wanna start off by saying i have been going to my nail salon for over 2 years now and i never tried anyone else because i love the girls that did mine. my boyfriend lives up here and i didn't want to travel an hour away to get my nails done so i decided to try this place out.. i will say, whenever i'm up here and need them done, i will come back! i called for an appointment just for my powder dip manicure and decided i wanted a pedicure last minute once i got there. jenny was awesome and had no problem having tina do my pedicure which was amazing! rachel was absolutely amazing as well with my nails doing the powder dip. i'm super picky with who i go to but i have found another new favorite away from home. thank you guys again for the great customer service, powder dip manicure, and pedicure! i will definitely be returning and i will also be definitely recommending you guys to my friends in the area! read more
