If I could I will leave a negative star here. The staff was not helpful at all they messed up my nails, and when I asked to have them fixed, they told me I would have to pay for a brand-new set. That's ridiculous considering the mistake was on their end. I wasn't even asking for a refund at first, just to have my nails corrected, but they refused to make it right.The place is very unprofessional. I will let know the world knows about my bad experience . HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND read more

When you walk in, the guy in the front that greets you has a serious attitude & very unprofessional. He greets customers as if we are bothering him. He quickly asks what you want & yells someones name. I understand his name is David. He is mostly rude & disrespectful to BLACK WOMEN! I will no longer go there & will make it a point to encourage black women not to go to a place that disrespects women of color. Go to Elegant Nails, you will be treated with respect. read more

La Perfection Nails - Pink French tips with chrome - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

I've been going here for over 2yrs now and they never disappoint. They are always willing to accommodate me even if it's last minute, and my nails come out GREAT!! read more

Their prices went up and they nickel and dime you in any and every way. Since the son David took over you can see his greediness in pricing. Of course things have gone up but whats included in the flat fee for services. A minor shaping or trim down should be included in the flat fee. I will now travel a longer distance for service instead of allowing greedy David to profit off my money. People should look into other salon options because there are plenty! read more

Missing dryers for nails was a huge part of the missing stars, service was slightly varied between me and my friend but staff was friendly. $3 card fee and no option to tip workers with card so must pay cash or venmo read more

This has to be said, as it's been weighing extremely heavy on my conscious. To start, I have been coming here for many years. Even living across the states, I still made it a thing to get serviced here, that shows how much I loved my nail tech. it wasn't until a year ago or so, that I began to have these weird and truly unprofessional encounters with the young man in the front, DAVID, who I was told is the manager. That is extremely alarming. to start, David is very disrespectful in the way he talks to women of color. I have never met anyone more rude in my entire life, and to be a MANAGER? Ha. Honestly I've never seen this man until the instances started. He's even done my nails once and he's the most unfriendliest worker at this salon. if you disagree, let me ask you a question, are you black? Take a minute to check. DAVID is very racist. I didn't realize until one day, my normal tech was taken so I had to get serviced at the front of the store. I was able to see exactly how DAVID interacts with other clients. He greets them with a smile, a gentle tone and with professionalism. He asks them kindly to go and wash their hands, not a "just go and wash your hands" or a dirty look in sight! This entire time I thought he was just a douche bag then I learned he is very capable of providing exemplary customer service to the people he see fit. I seriously don't know who hurt this man-child, but as a paying customer I will NOT stand for this type of treatment. AND as a business owner, I would NEVER treat or speak to my clients like this. Oh wait, there's more. There is a dog in the salon that peed at the front of the store. DAVID uses one of the hand towels they use on clients to clean it! Then I'm thinking he's going to come back with bleach spray, SOMETHING. Nope, that was him, the "MANAGER", cleaning up the dogs pee, with a hand towel that is used on clients. Then the dog takes a scarf out of a clients purse and runs with it/ chews on it. It had to be chased down...in a nail salon. This is unacceptable, therefore I've done the duty of filing a consumer complaint with the office of the attorney general regarding this trifling & extremely unsanitary matter. This is why you should treat everyone with respect, DAVID. Needless to say, I won't be stepping foot anywhere near this establishment. Great job in losing another loyal customer. I will be sure to warn all of my clients & everyone I know about this location. read more

La Perfection Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

After patronizing this nail salon for a few years I'm disappointed with the service I received lately. I complained about my pedicures cracking after 2-3 days, their answer was to get gel, which regrettably I did, which cost more and takes more time because the polish removal process is longer, a recent SCHEDULED appointment had 42 minute wait, followed by the next appointment being changed by the tech (Mike) form 9:30am to 2:30pm the day before the appointment, then to 3pm an hour before the reschedule appointment which was rescheduled by the tech. Which is particularly amusing since one of my appointment was modified from a mani/Pedi to just a mani since I was running 15 minutes late. I can respect that my appointment was rescheduled since I was running late (twice in the 9 years I've been a customer) , I can't understand why If this is the policy, how My appointments are WAY behind schedule on multiple occasions lately. The last draw was my latest manicure. It came out horrific, very sloppy it looked like one of my kids did it, I actually went to David (the Manager) and asked "If I posted this and said it was done at your establishment would you be ok with such a post?" I was told my polish was bad, to note this the same polish used on my pedicure and it was not bubbled and my cuticles were neet and the polish did not overlap on my skin. Needless to say 3 hours and 40 minutes later I was not happy, and a significant up charge in their pricing is a hard pill to swallow because the work is below mediocre (the picture attached is the "fixed" finished polish. ) I think because I am/was a regular ( I tip at least 22% and more during the Holidays) my patronage was being taken for granted. I also think the products are being either diluted, or replaced with inferior substitution, meet with disregard for scheduled appointments. I can't continue to be a customer after being charged more for substandard service AND products. Several of my latest appointments are unsatisfactory, which is a shame because I've been going there for years, I've referred 4 people that have used this mail salon. I just can't stand spending more and getting way less especially when the cost of living is inflated. I don't mind for paying extra for great service, and quality products, I just can't bring myself to pay more for substandard results read more

I love my nail tech but beware of hidden costs. You may very easily be charged for services you never asked for. Before you have your service begin, ask how much the charge will be. Asking how much is highly frowned upon but as a consumer, you have every right to know the cost of your visit up front! read more

Awful. My nails are full of bubbles. Uneven . Paint in my cuticles. Different thickness and shapes. Told them I only had 40 minutes. This horrendous job took 1 hour 10 minutes. They are cheap because that's all they have going for them. read more

Having an appointment is best. They're ok. Clean salon, your temp is checked, plexiglass bwtn customers getting pedi. Not overly priced. They can get 'chatty': talking about their customers as if the customer doesn't have a clue. Also, don't expect a lot of attention w/a pedi, it's just basic. read more

David is the best. He always makes sure my nails look great and that they are exactly what I wanted. I've been coming here for about a year now and I refuse to go to any other salon I even drive 45 mns from home just to get my nails done here. Love this place! read more

This place is sometimes fantastic and sometimes alright. Most of the time they do a good job but if they are in rush to get you out of the chair, forget about it. But I love Lisa. She is super super nice and always does a good job with nexgen nails. She is amazing. I recommend her all the way! Also I recommend nexgen, even though they sand your nail away, it lasts up to three weeks. My nails grew so long, I loved it. They have so many different colors too. read more

La Perfection Nails - Nexgen nails. A must !!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

Both my sister and I got our manicure here. We just prefer to have our regular nails painted. I haven't gotten a manicure in a while so my cuticles were thicker. The technician complained about my cuticles the whole time-- mind you they were not that bad, they were just thick. Not my first time getting a manicure. However the service left my nails feeling damaged. She also botched mine and my sisters nails. After I removed the nail polish, there are these big dents in my nails. This never happens when I get my manicures. I was not pleased with their service. read more

La Perfection Nails - These are my nails after a regular manicure. No acrylic, no gel, just a regular nail polish manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

I must say after reading another review, my inclination was right. I've also watched the owner groveling to the white clientele and call him "friend" but totally not greet the black clients. His son does nails. He said to me, I bet my hands are softer than yours ( translation black ladies have rough hands) but I told him. Well, let's check because I've never done hard labor like you in my life, I have a dish washer and someone to clean. He said nothing. Careful who you patronize people. Many other nail salons in Piscataway treat their clients kindly and with respect. Stop patronizing businesses that don't like you and just use you for your money! read more

I came in with the idea of getting gel manicure and a regular pedicure. As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted and directed to the nexgen which lasts longer/looks better. I decided to go with it for the extra 2$. You'd think that if someone suggests a 'better' product they'd know what they're doing. Diana was so focused on other things that she didn't notice my nails were not straight more than once!!! She did an average job buffing the powder down and left powder on my skin. She didn't apply the top coat on evenly and had to even do it again when I asked her why parts of my nails didn't shine. This is much less than I expected from her services. Trash nail salon!! read more

If you go here, you must ask for Christine as a technician - she is the best! I recommend everyone at work that compliments me on my nails. I get the Nexgen gel which lasts me a good 4 weeks until I need to go back. Excellent color selection and service. Definitely make an appoint read more

La Perfection Nails - 1 month old! Yeah I know.... but they still holding on! Lol! Great salon! - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

Went to the salon for a standard pedicure. They did NOT sterilize the metal equipment. I also had one hangnail and my person decided to treat every single nail as if I had an ingrown nail, cutting and pulling the nail from down the corners to close to my nail bed. It was quite painful & not sure why it was necessary or happening. Other than that it was a nice pedicure, but I will not be returning read more

Although the nails were done beautifully and the shaping was done very well, air bubbles formed in the gel only 2 days after I got them done and it is evident that the nails are lifting already. Not worth the price I paid for them read more

So I wanted to love this place, the price for dip powder nails was just right at $35. I recently got a full set in DC loved them and was hoping for a similar experience with this salon. Terrible assumption on my part. It has been a week and my nails are already falling apart! Literally. I got a chrome finish which cost me an extra $10. But what good is it if the chrome doesn't last more than 2 days. I received the service on 12/9 by 12/11 2 of the finishes had peeled. And by 12/15my nails look like I had them for weeks!!! I'm terribly disappointed. And would not recommend them Dip powder nails at all. read more

Christine has been my nail technician twice. First time I went in, I just wanted my nails polished with repairative nail polish because I tried to remove gel by myself & it didn't go well for me. Christine mentioned NexGen Nails,. with no pressure, instead of my nail growth polish. I was intrigued & I have had NexGen done by Christine twice. She has accommodated my schedule, she has been helpful with color choices, and she does beautiful work. Thank you! read more

I made an appointment for four people at 5 o'clock and only showed up with three because the other could t make it. the first girl was taken in at 5:30 and my other friend and i waited until 6:15 to get a tech but by then it was too late for me because i had somewhere to be at 7. the guy didn't even apologize to us for the inconvenience at all- so i just wasted an hour and a half for nothing. just don't repeat my mistake please read more

I've been going here for years.. I only allow one person to do my nails, her name is UT. If you want a good job done, I recommend her. nails, pedicure, eyebrows, she does a great job and she's very quick. you'll never leave disappointed if you have her do your nails. there is an extra $2 charged when you pay with card. read more

Tip: I didn't realize that the manicure colors by the door were mostly the "reject colors". Most of their higher quality polishes are hidden on the right side of the wall that divides the place, but of course they didn't tell me that when they told me to "pick a color"... Even though I was seated right away, the technician gave unclear directions, she was rough with my nails, the nail polish was old and sticky, and the supplies she used clearly had not been cleaned. For $12 (which I think is too high for a manicure) you don't even get the "salon" experience - they were hasty with the service and there are so many fluorescent lights, electrical nail buffers, and face masks hanging around that it feels more like a hospital than a nail salon. read more

They do great nails but they are very low on staff. Sat Mornings are normally peek hours for business that provide service to clients. Every time i try to get there early there's only one person doing nails and when you ask where the rest of the staff is she says she doesn't know, then tells me if i was to wait then i wait if not i can leave, cause she has an appointment at 10:30 and doesn't know when the remaining staff will be in. Lol how the hell do you run a successful business like this ????? read more

If you want to have your fingers all cut up and a manicure that looks like it was done by a child, then you've come to the right place! I gave it 3 tries and each time wasn't better than the last. I heard about La Perfection nails from my co-worker, she told me they carry Nexgen. Nexgen is a powder (similar to Acrylics) that is healthier for your nails. This place is not the cleanest...it is a bit run down. For my 1st visit, I made an appointment with my friend. The owner's brother-in-law did my nails, and he did horrible. Don't get me wrong, he was a very sweet and nice guy, but when it came to my nails, he did a sloppy job. He took an hour and 15 minutes! When he was done, my manicure looked like someone just threw paint on it and it spilled over. The 2nd visit, I requested the nail tech named, Lawn. I saw that she did a much better job the 1st time I was there. Lawn was very quick and pretty precise with Nexgen. The only complain I have is she cut my finger when she was using the drill on my nails. I requested Lawn again for today's appointment, and she cut me again! This time, it was with the cuticle trimmer. If it wasn't for Chinese New Year, I would've waited another week and found another salon to go to. The nail techs here are careless and sloppy... I will not be going back to La Perfection nails. read more

I love the nexgen, I can't find another nexgen salon in NJ. And I think the price is right. Walk in and walk out with fresh nails, don't expect frills and spa like mani/pedis, this is the place to go if you need to get the job done. Nexgen with with full set of tips is $38 . Lots of colors to choose from, UTI and Christine is who I've gone to and I love their work. read more

La Perfection Nails - Christine did my almond shape nails and tips, with S29 color Nexgen, $38 - Nail Salons Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

Very clean place and love their massaging chairs. UT is the lady who does my nails and she is best! She is very accomadating to her clients' needs. The salon usually opens at 10am but there were times where she went above and beyond and told me she can come at 9am for me to do my nails since she is usually booked a lot. Very sweet lady and I feel very comfortable with her, unlike some Asian salons you always think they are talking shit about you in vietanamese lol. However never let the guy who sits by the register do your nails, he files horrible and is rude. I recommend NextGen nails! read more

I stopped in for a quick pedicure a couple of weeks ago because I didn't have time to go to my regular salon and was very disappointed with the service. I had a gentleman (didn't get his name) and he was a little rough with the nail-cutting and cuticle trimming. He cut one of the nails so deeply, that my toe hurt for a few days afterwards. I am going back to me regular salon, not caring that it costs more. Some things are just worth paying extra for. To be quite honest, I don't even know if the foot tub was cleaned out prior to my use. Suffice it to say - you get what you pay for. read more

David, Christine, or Michael are hands down my favorites. Dipping powder for $30 and you won't be disappointed.

Regar Pedicure and Manicure with no color is $28. The whole process was rushed through. Save your money and go somewhere else. I've had way better mani/pedi for HALF the price. Seriously. read more

Let me just start by saying I am very easy to please and this is my first time ever writing a complaint but this place deserves it. This was the worst nail experience of my life. I recently moved here and have been looking for a place that does powder gel and I was so happy to hear they had it. I asked for a mani/pedi and they started with my mani which when I do gel they usually start with my pedi but I didn't say anything. They didn't use foil to take off my existing gel just soaked. When she started putting the new color on pieces of my old color we're still on she just colored over it. She never put the setting coat when she was done and she never dusted off my nails so when she did the top coat my nails are all grainy. When she was done doing a terrible job with my nails she said I couldn't get a pedicure bc they were doing plumbing but there were plenty of people getting pedicures so I didn't understand. While I was drying my hands she came over and said now I can get a pedicure and she looked at my nails that had some excess polish that normally they would remove with polish remover but she decided to take off the skin that had the color on it. Ouch! So I finally made it to the pedicure, I didn't get offered any special pedicure which is what I wanted I wanted a massage and callous remover. I got no massage and she dug so hard into my toes. While I was sitting there for the pedicure I got a good look at my nails which looked as if I painted them myself. They are grainy and blotchy. I paid by $52 tab and didn't tip anyone. They also charged me $2 extra for using my debit card This place is a sham! Do not go! read more

Hard to get an appointment with Andy Or Michael they only like to do white young girls. If you black don't even try to go in they don't do black people nails. The Spanish lady the do pedicure said that her boss Michael is so racists. For sure this place is not for us people of color. This place need to be shot down for the second time. read more

Came here for about 9 months, for the most part my nails looked good, other times I was not happy at all. Staff and environment are both very nice. Lee is my favorite nail tech here, he does a good job but he is often quick and doesn't put polish on the sides of my nails (even if I point it out) which bothers me. When Lee was not available I went to UT and was unhappy with my nail shape and how much she rushed each time. I was very upset the last time I came here because she charged me for a full set, when I came in for a fill in because she claimed they were "too grown out". It had been only two and a half weeks which is how often I usually go. After that I found a new nails place which I absolutely love. This place is okay if you really need your nails done, but there are definitely other places that do a better job for the same price. Oh and do not come here if you want any sort of design, basic manicures only. read more

This was by far the WORST nail experience of my life. I went in on Friday as a walk in (as I have always done for the last 10 years). The technician at the door assisted me asking what I needed done. After stating I needed a "Fill in and a Pedi he began to do my nails first, I noticed that they were done with a thin coat of acrylic, fine no problem as long as they last I'm good. Well long story short I was back there on Monday and again today Tuesday as the nails kept breaking. I told him I wanted ALL my nails fixed as he did them too thin initially, he proceeds to tell me that would be considered a full set and not a fill in...... I could not understand for the life of me how he came to that conclusion as he did my fill in. He said he just did what I previously had when I came in, I thought that when you went to a nail salon and request a fill in... that's what they give you!!!!!!!! I believe that was done intentionally to get me to come back so they could charge me more money. Why wouldn't he say that up front if that was the case. I was a patron of this establishment for over 10 years and trust me when I tell you I WILL NEVER WALK IN THOSE DOORS AGAIN! That was the worst customer service treatment ever. And not to mention how they all started standing around and speaking in their language when I made the next technician fix my 2nd damaged nail. Unbelievable and very unprofessional, my last comment is that I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau as well. You don't try to rip people off when your services were not up to par!!!! read more
