    First time going to Just for Nails, and I got this witchy manicure for fall - by Dianita
    Michcella T.

    I'm no stranger to a manicure with nail art (just look at my other Yelp reviews). I wanted to go here for a few times before writing a review, as I believe just going once isn't enough to get a full picture of a place. I've been coming here since October, and I am very satisfied with Just For Nails. Is it perfect? Nope, and that's what you have to keep in mind. This is a local nail salon that offers decent services at a reasonable price. I used to come here years ago, and over time, this place has seen new owners come and go and even had a name change. This place is very close to my house, and I use to drive to Cliffside to go get my nails done. After becoming frustrated with my old salon, I decided to try this place on a whim as it is literally blocks from my house. I'm so happy I did. (Keep in mind that if you are driving here, parking is a nightmare.) My usual is a UV gel fill in with design. I try to tailor the design based on the nail tech - for example, my nail tech down the show can paint literally anything on my nails. Being that I've only been coming here for a few months, I try to select art that's simple enough to complete but also looks trendy and stylish (although, I have seen some really intricate stuff come from this place. Just look at their Instagram!). I usually see Dianita, and it seems she is the person who completes all the intricate nail art, so if you're like me, you can ask for her by name. Every time I've gone here, Dianita has been able to offer me a great, long lasting UV gel fill (5+ weeks) with wonderful nail art - just look at my pictures! (If you're also interested in nail art, be sure to bring a photo. They will tell you if they can do it or not.) Although I don't speak Spanish, she tries to communicate with me as best she can by making suggestions or telling me if something won't work, looks weird, etc., which I honestly appreciate. And the best part is - she actually LISTENS to what you want. Shorter nails? No problem. Different shape? Absolutely. Not to mention, the prices are consistent and I'm always out in a timely fashion. To me, that is most important. The place is also very clean, although my one critique is that sometimes the techs have personal stuff laying about (such as groceries or food), and it makes the nail salon feel a bit cluttered. They also have a secretary who speaks both English and Spanish. You can also DM their IG to make an appointment, which has been super useful. Overall, I'm super happy with this place and will definitely continue to give them my business.

    This place is an absolute gem, and I'll only ever come here to get my nails done! Come visit my girl Lina, she's incredible and genuinely loves what she does and you'll have a great time during your appointment. The prices are very reasonable, and far better than what you'll find in Manhattan. It's also near some great restaurants so you could plan a nice half day doing your nails and grabbing something to eat!

    I needed a quick pick me up, and Diana is my hero! Lovely purple nails, in a relaxed setting! The final hand massage was good he best! She took me on short notice, too! The best!

    These were my dip nails for Christmas. I got so many compliments (Estas fueron mis uñas de dip para Navidad. Todo mundo me las chuliava.)

    Two years ago I walked in (a few months before my wedding) to try this salon out before getting my wedding nails done. I have been a loyal customer ever since. I absolutely love all the ladies. Such positive environment, everyone speaks Spanish and is super friendly. My nail tech's name is Dania and she is fantastic. Any picture I bring in, she is always willing to create and honestly exceeds expectations. I have also gotten my nails done by Silvia and Miluska both great as well. Whoever you go with you are in great hands. (Hace dos años entre por primera vez para provar antes de hacer me las uñas para mi boda. Desde ese entonces me hice fiel a este salon. Me encanta la energia y las mujeres que trabajan aqui. Siempre amables y con energia positiva. Todo mundo habla Español. Siempre me voy satisfecha con mis uñas. Dania es quien me hace las uñas y ella es excelente simpre quedan bellisimas mis uñas. Cualquier idea que le traiga ella siempre contenta de crear lo que quiera yo. Y yo siempre contenta con los resultados. Tambien me han echo las uñas Silvia y Miluska y las dos hacen tremendo trabajo. Con quien te toque o escojas sales contenta. Les recomiendo mucho este salon!

    Terrible pedicure, only one layer of polish is used, so it looks pretty cheap. Wouldn't recommend it.

    Love this place! Beautiful, high quality nails. Always use the massage chairs. Highly recommend.read more

    I just moved to NJ and was looking for a new salon. I found this on Yelp and the reviews seemed…read morepretty good so I decided to give Shining Nails a shot.... I am underwhelmed and the reviews were too kind. I booked a 6:15 pm appointment with Alicia as there were some reviews about her. I get to my 6:15 pm appointment at 6:05 pm. It is a tiny salon on the corner. As I walk in I am not greeted just stared at so I walk to the back and let them know I have an appointment. They told me to sit down. After sitting I realized they had not sat me with Alicia and the tech looked visibly annoyed and handed me a bunch of gel color books. I stopped looking at the books for a second and she scolded me asking me if I had picked a color. When I mentioned that I had an appointment with Alicia, another tech came over and explained that Alicia was with another customer and that me booking with her did not guarantee me getting her. I was baffled and asked why. She explained that I had not made a note that I really wanted to see Alicia they had sat me with the next available tech - which is bizarre. The girl I had was rude and rushed through the entire pedicure. She massaged my feet for about 90 seconds. The techs are unwelcoming and it was an uncomfortable experience. The price is steep and the customer service lacks. I've never been to another salon that forces you to make a note to get an appointment with who you really want. Needless to say I won't be back.

    After hearing loads of buzz about Nailed It, which did so well in its first year that it was able…read moreto open a second location, I finally decided to give it a shot the other day. In addition to the hype, I heard that they offered Dazzle Dry, a service that was new to me but was essentially a long-lasting manicure without the need for harsh gel polish and all of the issues that go along with that. I read several reviews for this original location and saw that Kitty was highly recommended, so I booked an appointment with her on their website. I arrived at the salon and found it clean, modern, and cozy, but a bit cramped. I checked in at the front desk and was told to sit at the last desk, where my manicure then began. My technician was extremely careful and detailed. She filed my nails perfectly, was very gentle while trimming my cuticles, and expertly painted each digit. However, I did notice that she followed a slightly different process than on the Dazzle Dry website in that she did not leave a lot of time between each coat and let the top coat dry for 10 minutes (rather than 5) before applying the finishing oil. (I gave it some time before I wrote this review to see how that would affect the length of the manicure, but it lasted for over two weeks! I even heavily cleaned my apartment during that time and did not experience any chipping. I was impressed!) As my treatment was wrapping up, I heard someone call out for "Kitty", but she was addressing an entirely different woman. It was at that point that I realized that I had been engaging with another beautician. I did not want to make a big deal out of it, but I asked the front desk attendant who had worked on me, and she said "Yolanda". I was a bit annoyed that they had altered my appointment without saying anything to me, but since Yolanda had done such a nice job, I just let it go. At least I now know of two recommended manicurists!

    I was in a real need for a manicure so I booked one here last minute. I'm a no frills nail person…read moreand have been on the search for my new go-to mani/pedi spot. I didn't have to wait long for someone to take me upon arrival. My initial thought is "wow this place is TIGHT," it feels super cramped. And it was crowded on a weekday at 3PM. Very hoboken crowd, iykyk. I get assigned to a manicurist who really isn't that friendly. Low-key rude and not pleasant. They randomly ask me to switch manicurists to the girl next to her. Don't give me a reason why. I ask the manicurist why and she just shrugs. OK? I had my own nail polishes because I'm super picky about that thing. The new girl was kind. Sweet. Very young. We spoke Spanish. You can tell she was new because the rude manicurist was telling her what not to do and what to do next. My manicure was OK. I gave her a good tip because I knew she was new and they were just being rude to her. My cuticles were cut up the next day, weird because I've never had that happen to me. Doubt I'll return. Too bad because the place was nice and clean just so cramped.
