Jackie S.

Excellent experience at Joy Nails! Super clean, great staff, and they have some serious Covid precautions in place - temperature check, sanitizer, plexiglass, and a mandatory form to sign. The nail technician did a great, thorough job and a manicure is only $10!!!

Once again, Anna has made a beautiful valentines design, thank you Anna for your nice work!

Was in town for a funeral and I Noticed my nails were a disaster. They took my daughter and I last minute. They did an amazing yet quick job. I think her name was Sunny. Very efficient and quick.

After one day done.

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.

Gel manicure
Erin A.

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.

Gel mani from Anna
Samantha G.

I am new to the NJ area and I have been in desperate need to find a nail salon that is close to my job. I googled places in the area and Joy nails came up with great reviews, so I decided to give a chance. The nails in the picture are a gel mani done by Anna and I think she did a fabulous job! 2weeks later and they are still going strong! I definitely found my new nail spot

gell full set

I received the best manicure I have ever gotten here!! I am new to the area and making a new appointment was very easy. My technician Anna took her time and filed my nails to perfection!!! Everyone was very nice and the studio was very clean. I will absolutely be coming back and this is my new favorite nail salon.

AMAZING JOB! Anna saved the day, the day before my wedding my nail broke and Anna took me in right away and did the most detailed manicure and set of nails I have ever had, worth the time and price. I have small nail beds which few artists adapt to and she did an amazing job! Very professional and attentive

New OPI colors! Gel Mani $30
Stefanie C.

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!

Chipped gel manicure the same day!
Marin J.

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.

Gel mani
Natalie M.

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!

Lisa B.

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!!

At Victorian Nails and Spa, you truly feel like you're not just at any nail salon, but a salon…read morethat has pushed the limits to really create a relaxing "spa" experience. First of all, it is incredibly clean here and all the workers are not just respectable, but also very friendly. They have a large variety of regular and gel nail polishes available of both classic and trendy colors. I feel incredibly relaxed everytime I come here. If you have the time, I really recommend the "Spa Pedicures". They involve various steps that include deep cleaning, exfoliating, hydrating, and massaging of your feet and lower legs. I find that they're really worth the extra dollars and they add to the overall "spa" experience of coming to this salon. I also wonder if some of the workers here have taken massage classes. The foot massages I have had with the "Spa Pedicures" have really been excellent, incredibly rejuvinating and healing on the pressure points of my feet. Likewise, I've had some really great mini upper back massages here while waiting for my nails to dry! I think my experiences here are ultimately due to how "above and beyond" the owner and workers go in order to make this salon feel like a haven in which one can hide away and pamper during a stressful day.

The salon is kept very clean, the staff is friendly, and the quality of manicures, pedicures, and waxing is top-notch. I often get a gel manicure that involves two colors- with a half moon design from the cuticle up in one of the colors, and the rest of the nail in the second one, and always come out very pleased with the results. The design comes out very evenly on each nail, and the attention to detail and perfection is quite impressive. I highly recommend this place for a mani, pedi, or wax appointment as the level of service is second to none.

I asked for a basic manicure with no color, but I left feeling disappointed. My nails actually looked worse than when I came in. They were scratched up with file marks, my cuticles were still showing, and my hands were never soaked in warm water like I've had done at other salons. One finger even ended up bleeding. When it came time to pay, I was also asked to tip in cash, which felt uncomfortable. I paid $20 and left feeling like I needed to go fix my nails somewhere else. Definitely not what I was expecting and I won't be going back.

I've been coming to Elite Nails for over 5 years for these exact reasons. It's located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking in a lot. The salon is small and a little outdated. It could use a paint job and new flooring, but at least it's not unsanitary. There's around 6 pedicure chairs and 6 manicure stations. If you want a luxurious ambiance, this isn't the place for you. Their prices are very fair and lower compared to other salons in the area. I always get a gel manicure ($35) and regular pedicure ($23). There's plenty of nail colors and brands to choose from. Just a heads up, they don't do acrylics or very intricate designs. I always call to make my appointment and the owner, Joanna, is very accommodating. She's squeezed me in last minute with no issues. I don't recommend coming as a walk-in because they are usually booked. The best nail techs are Joanna and John. I usually go to John. He's gentle, has good attention to detail, and works efficiently. He doesn't rush and ensures I'm happy with my nail length, shape, and color. As a client of over 5 years, I've had a mix of good and bad experiences with other techs. Some are more experienced than others. My biggest pet peeve is getting my cuticles cut, so once that happens... I lose my trust! I'm not as picky with my toes, so I'm happy with any tech doing my pedicure. The ladies are really sweet and make my feet look ~pretty~ The quality of their nail products are great. My polish lasts for a looooooong time and doesn't chip or lift. They even have a rewards system. Gain points for every $ spent and you get free services. Looking forward to my next appointment!

First time here and Mia (?) was great. I believe she said her name was Mia but now I'm not sure…read moresince I couldn't find that name on the site to rebook. She was attentive and had nice, calm energy. She paid attention to detail and I loved both my gel manicure and gel pedicure. I will definitely return despite the pretty high prices here, with a 20% tip it was almost $140 total for a regular gel mani & pedi and my nails were bare, meaning I had nothing on them. Is this normal? I don't do my nails enough to know. Why not 5 stars? The pedicure space here isn't the most comfortable. It isn't the kind of massage chair where you can lean back and relax so it doesn't offer the comfort and relaxation that I've grown to expect while getting a pedicure. Overall good experience. They are thorough and efficient which I love.

They didn't tell me it was expired while I was there, let me use half of it, then crossed out the expiration date and made it a date in expire 10/30/25. I was unaware they back-dated it because I was in a hurry to put it in my pocket since I was in rush. Fast forward to today, I went to use it and obviously it wasn't honored because of that new date. I understand that it expired and of course I'm fine not using it since it's completely my fault. It was just the most bizarre experience because 1. No one mentioned it was expired the first time I was there (which I would have been fine paying for my pedicure if someone explained that to me instead writing in a new date so couldn't use it again) Also I'm just not sure why they would give me back a gift certificate that I can't use anymore or never mention that it was expired. 2. What kind of place has a 1 week or 1 month expiration date? (Thinking about it I'm wondering if it the date a typo since it was handwritten because most places around here have a 1 year expiration date when I buy them or am gifted them.) Also my nails were different lengths and the polish I used developed white spots on top (it was a light purple) With so many wonderful places in Montclair, I would definitely consider buying a gift certificate somewhere else with a longer expiration date, a more clear policy, or somewhere that will take the time to explain these dates and policies if you have an issue like I did if you are looking to purchase a gift.
