Went to this salon for the first time before my birthday trip and it was a huge mistake. I showed Sunny two pictures of designs and sunny immediately went to another person and spoke a different language. Based on the pointing and the other person looking at the design on my cell phone, I could tell Sunny was over her head so I then told her, let's go with the easier design. I should have left at that point and that's why I'm writing this review...how does this place have a 4.0 on yelp?! There were several times I tried to tell her she's not doing a good job. She even made me bleed, look at my terribly red cuticles. My nails look nothing like the requested design. After I told her I don't like what she did she looked confused and tried to give me a hand massage. I told her I don't like this and to take the lotion of my hand I'd like to leave. After paying $70 ($40 for gel, $30 for chrome) she asked for a tip...like wrote the word tip on my receipt and circled it. Wild! read more

Such an excellent pedicure! Very relaxing and customized. Love this nail salon. It's just the right size, quiet, relaxing, offers a variety of fairly priced services. Also got mani,full set and the skill of all the nail techs at Joy Salon was very good. They created excellent, beautiful yet practical nail style for me which was just what I wanted- but difficult to find technicians who can do it right. read more

Just wanted to update! Sunny did an amazing job with my nails! I'm going to a wedding next week where I'm a bridesmaid and showed her a pic of the nail I wanted and what color for the tips. She is so meticulous and careful to get it right. So much appreciation for her and her craft! Thanks again sunny!!! read more

Have been getting my daughter's nails and mine done here for years. They do a great job and are patient and friendly. Would highly recommend this nail salon! read more

Unfortunately, the service here is a bit rough. Requested to have my nails filed down as opposed to cut down and put a gel color on. Simple gel manicure. Sadly, they filed my nails down too short and I realized it after the second finger was done resulting in uneven nails now. They use OPI and other brand name gel colors; however, the somehow chip after only a day. Oddly, I go to other locations with the same colors and brands yet they last longer. Would not recommend this location. read more

I made an appointment a week ago for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I got to my appointment at 950am my appointment was 10 am. I was standing around and other people came in, it says they take appointments only. They then awkwardly and silently just sat me inside pedicure chair where I waited for about 20 minutes without anyone saying a thing to me. I really needed to my nails done so I couldn't just leave. So they finally they got to my nail and pedicure both felt very rushed especially my nails. She was working so fast I was in aww. But obviously if it was done well I wouldn't care at all but it really wasn't. After my nails were done they felt so thin and frail not only that but they were so messy couldn't believe it. I didn't want to spend another minute there so I just left and tried to clean it at home. I paid 35 for my gel manicure and 25 for the pedicure, definitely not worth the money unfortunately. But definitely would not recommend. read more

Was at Garden State Plaza and thought hmmm I need a mani- let me check Yelp! Yelp you didn't let me down on this one! There's ample parking in the back lot. Entrance is in the front, and the place is rather unassuming from the front. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the friendly staff even though I didn't have an appointment. I opted for a gel manicure which is $30 (typical/regular price for the area). They have soooo many colors to pick from! The girl who did my manicure, I think her name was Ari? was helpful in my decision making. They label the colors that are new, so you know which ones are ~hot~. Unlike my usual nail place, they have the latest OPI colors which is what I opted for. Definitely will stop here if I am in the area again. Highly recommend! read more

Really surprised by the almost 5 star reviews of this salon. My technician rushed like crazy (meanwhile, the place was empty). And then the gel manicure chipped the same day I got it. My usual place the polish lasts 1.5+ weeks. Not impressed. 3 stars is generous in my opinion. read more

Joy Nails - Chipped gel manicure the same day! - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Great spot for a quick quality mani-pedi!! I had a gel mani and regular pedi for their M-W special of $45. Their regular pedi itself is amazing! As soon as I sat in the pedi-massage chair, they put a heat pack over my shoulders. Then you get to pick from their lavender scented pedi or one other scent. The regular pedi included a lavender soak, lavender scrub, gentle foot scrub (no callous removal), heel treatment, and a hot stone rub. All that for just a regular mani! The lavender smelled amazing too. The salon was very clean and well maintained. They're very organized and prompt. I had called ahead for an appointment and I got seated right away. They were very helpful as well. Since I wanted a gel mani and a regular pedicure and I wanted both colors to match, this meant trying to match the two. But they did it all for me! I picked out my gel color and then they worked to find the perfect regular nail polish to match. Not all salons will do that for you. When Anna was finished with my gel mani, she went back and inspected each finger nail for quality. I will definitely be back! read more

Joy Nails - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

I really love how my nails done. They have friendly and warm environment that I like going with my daughter. Highly recommended!

It wasn't my first visit to this nail salon but it was certainly my last. I asked for a spa pedicure and gel manicure and l learned that these are done simultaneously so no relaxing during the pedicure is even possible. Theyrushed me out of the chair to complete the gel manicure so it wasn't until I got home that I looked closely and saw that 2 toes had a full first coat but the second coat was only 2/3 of the nail leaving a gap between that second layer and the cuticle. it looked as though a child had painted my toes. when I returned and asked for another coat of polish they told me I had to start over and remove the existing polish. When it was finished they charged me $10 for a polish color change I didn't even ask for. So much for quality and customer service. I won't be back that's for sure. read more

Well...I am new to the area and yelped for nail shop. This place was close and open. So I called. Number out of order. I show up...the door is locked and the sign says call the number. I did again. Out of service number. I knock...the ladies come. I explain I wanted a mani and spa pedi and gel polish. I picked the $60 deluxe. And the $30 gel nails. Things were moving along so-so with my feet until we got to the part for 20 minutes of reflexology. The lady set the timer and massages my leg with one hand. Maybe she was tired. ‍ She went thru the motions of sloshing lotion on my legs and feet for 20 minutes but it was not the spa feeling we all hope for. They were closing at ?7:30 so, as their last customer, And after the lackluster leg rubs I told the lady I would Just come another time for my nails. They spoke to each other and the other lady came over with supplies for manicure while she was finishing my feet and polishing my toes. The other lady proceeded to do my manicure while I was seated for pedicure! She used an Emory board to push my cuticles back and remove them. She NEVER soaked my hands or used any water!! I don't get manicures often but I feel she did a half job. They rushed thru the steps to polish my nails with the gel, but did not do a professional manicure service. I was really squeamish when she pulled out a used Emory board. Full of someone else's nails bits. She shaped my nails with it and buffed my nail surfaces. I give 2 stars ONLY because they both polished my nails nicely and seemed pleasant enough. The week following the services, I had such roughed up hand cuticles and the skin on my fingers was peeling/hanging due to the rushed, rough, Emory board friction "manicure" that I paid good money for. No, I won't go back. No, I wouldn't recommend going there. read more

This is my nail place. I couldn't wait to get a spa pedicure once they opened back up after quarantine. Joanne is the best. My feet really missed her and they really needed work lol. She did the best job ever. She always does a great job. Everyone there is so mice. They installed a lot of equipment to make it safe during this COVID Era. I felt safer there than I do most places. They carefully cleaned after each guest while I was there and really continuously cleaned the salon. I never had a doubt in my mind that I was safe there and you shouldn't either. Thanks Joy Nails!! read more

I've been going here for five years as my go-to nail place in town. I went there today with my little girls age 4 and 5. When I asked the price for just polish on hands she told me the same price as an adult manicure. I knew that was ridiculous but being that I already walked in with two excited little girls I didn't feel like arguing but I knew that was ridiculous/cheating/ unfair and I was being taken advantage of. I said fine and THEN my daughter picked out 5 colors - one for each finger - and she was so rude and said that's going to be an additional $5 bc it takes sooo much more time. I was LIVID but again I just went with it to keep the excitement for my kids. Meanwhile she finished each of my daughters in 10 minutes each AND she was doing free nail art designs for her other adult patrons next to me. It was absolutely unfair and unjust - I mean they are kids, their nails are a quarter the size of adults and I spent $50 on just getting their nails painted. I was a super loyal customer but I'm done with this place - the owner Anna is unfair, rude and not bubbly and upbeat like most nail place owners that want to keep their loyal customers happy and wanting to come back. I'm so disappointed and feel cheated and taken advantage of. I actually think they do a pretty good job but the owners attitude and lack of customer service has really left a distaste in my mouth and out of principle I will not be supporting this small business anymore. read more

I had acrylic gel nails and a pedicure. it was probably the best experience I've had in a nail salon. my mother got gel and enjoyed her experience.

I've been here before for gel manicure and pedicure... I asked for a design and they can't even paint a flower. They used cheap stickers and caused a scene when I came back after they said they would fix it. I even called ahead. Avoid and go somewhere that at least gives you 3 coats. read more

Go here now for an incredible spa pedicure with Stephanie. SERIOUSLY. The salon itself is clean and simple--much like other "no-frillls" nail salons in the area. HOWEVER, the difference is Stephanie/Stephany (not sure I spelled her name correctly)! A spa pedicure with her is like a little piece of heaven. She really takes her time tending to your nails, calluses, and cuticles...and her leg and foot massage is out of this world! I am on my feet close to 8 hours a day nearly 5 days a week, so this type of relief is very necessary. read more

I read reviews and was really looking forward to a great pedicure after almost a year of no pedicures. It was a regular pedicure nothing special. I think they could have spent more time cutting cuticles etc but to be fair, they had big shoes to fill from a place in Syracuse :/ i think pedicures are generally ruined for me anywhere else and I'll never be able to find a place like that. But I definitely needed more of the pedicure actions instead of a longer massage. My feet needed the work lol: read more

I got a pedicure, my foot massage was shorter than my friend's, it was still a good massage though. My feet look pretty good so far. The people who work here are pretty nice and did a pretty good job, granted I'm pretty simple when it comes to nails. My foot in the picture looks oddly dark for some reason haha. I think it's because they had a cold fan drying my nail polish. Everything was overall just great and I will most definitely come back for another pedicure, maybe next time I'll try a manicure. read more

Joy Nails - This is just a simple pedicure with white nail polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

I went there on a Saturday night and they weren't busy at all. We had called beforehand to make sure they would be able to take us. She said as long as we come in the next 10 minutes it should be fine, which we did. I got a regular pedi and a gel mani. Pedi- she took off my gel from previous and did proceeded to do the routine pedi. What I noticed was that she never cleaned the nail under and as pictured below, she didn't cut the nails evenly. Also, she didn't bother to clean up some the nail as you can see in the picture. Mani- so I guess they were in a hurry to leave so they did my mani along with my pedi on the massage chairs. I had to turn off my massage because I realize how messy of a job they were at painting. First she took off my gel, which wasn't a problem, easy. After that she cut my nail and filed them then just painted the color without cleaning my hands or anything! She didn't cut off any excess skin or push back my cuticles! I was so confused. Then the way she painted was so bizarre. She would paint two to three fingers at a time and then switch hands as the other is under the UV light. She did this the entire process. Who does that?! Why can't you just do a whole hand and then switch off like a normal manicure?! I even told the front desk lady that site didn't push back my cuticles, sure told me that this lady does everything at the end, which makes no sense because without pushing back the cuticles, the gel will lift very easily. The lady that did mani didn't even cover my whole nail. You can see my bare nail on the edges as well. Overall the actual doing of the nails were terrible. I would not ever go back there again. It was all so ridiculous. It's almost like they don't know how to do nails. The only thing that was good was the fact they were all so nice, but being nice and doing a terrible job doesn't help. At the end of the day, the job sucked! I would NOT recommend anyone going there, unless you want uneven and badly painted nails! read more

Appointment only! I was seated right away and the ladies who work there were nice. Didn't feel any pressure to hurry up with picking a color. A regular manicure is only $10 and mani + pedi is $35 (I think $30 on weekends). She took her time with me and I'm pleased with the result. I think I've found my new nail salon in this area :) read more

I made a last minute reservation through the Yelp app. Amy was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. It's clear upon walking in that the salon is very clean and has a nice, calming atmosphere with jazz music playing in the background. Sunny did my gel manicure, and she did a wonderful job. Gel polish was applied neatly and not too thick. She shaped my broken and split nails (my nails tend to fall apart in the fall time) and made them look presentable :). I also did a pedicure, and I'm extremely pleased with it! Very neat and detailed work. I will surely be coming back!! read more

Where do I begin...there are some glaring things wrong with this place, and after experiencing it once I won't be back. The reviews that claimed that this place nickels and dimes people seem to be accurate. In addition to that, my nail tech, whose name was Anne or Anna, who might also be the owner, did not only a sloppy job on my nails and acted annoyed when I asked for changes, but I was covered in nail dust when I left. What that means is that I also inhaled a lot of nail dust which isn't great. And just to be clear, as I was experiencing the manicure, it seemed that whatever they considered to be the vacuum to take away the dust felt like more of a fan that blew the dust out rather than sucking it in, which is I think why I left covered in dust. Anne or Anna tried to claim that it was because of the type of fill that I got. I think that this is inexcusable. In addition, this place does not clearly define what type of fill you are getting. The fill i asked for was different apparently according to Anne, than the one I got. The one I got happened to be $10 more than the one that I asked for. For everyone to understand how this place nickels and dimes people, you should know that they charge five dollars more for what they consider to be long lasting colors. I have literally never seen this at any salon that I've ever been to. I will not be returning. read more

Unfortunately, for $80+$10 tip 5 of my nails came off very easily. I'm very easy on my nails and unless I have an unforseeable accident my nails stay on for 3 weeks. I feel totally ripped off. I can not recommend this salon. I am not going back to show them as they will do it again. read more

***UPDATE*** The gel manicure I was ripped off for chipped on 2 nails within 3 days. After a week, they were all a mess and needed to be redone, so, didn't look homeless. This is something I simply cannot afford. Not only did I get ripped off, but the extra treatment I was given without asking for clearly does not work well. If there was an option for 0 stars, Anna would have earned that. Pedicure still looks great!*** I went to the salon yesterday for a gel manicure and a gel pedicure. I have to say that the gel pedicure was great. I sat with Anna, whom I think is the owner for my manicure. She suggested that I get a keratin treatment on my nails, which I shook off. When it came time to pay, she told me my bill was $140. I told her that according to the prices it was $125. She said no the keratin treatment is $15. I said wait a minute I didn't ask for that. So, I handed her $140 in cash because that was what I had, and she refused to give me change and had the audacity to try and sign me up for a rewards program. I told her not to bother because I would not be back. I tipped the girl who did my pedicure and left. Before I walked out I told her I hope it was worth the $15 to her because I was planning on going there again, but I really can't believe how I got ripped off. I'm really upset and I would not recommend anyone go there as she was the woman who ran the place. read more

I've been to Joy Nails a couple of times and really loved their work. Made an appointment with Mary and it turns out she doesn't work there anymore, but there is a new Mary that works there now. They paired me up with Ari. Made me nervous because I'm going on vacation, she's new and I never saw her there before. I'm just gonna say, she did a marvelous job on my toes. I just really wish she did manicures too. My manicurist Jennifer (I believe that's her name) was also good. read more
