I've gone here once or twice before the pandemic and twice so far in June and July. Lavo is located off of Route 1 in a strip mall that has a red roof. They don't accept walk-ins at the moment. To make an appointment, give them a call and they'll schedule you in. You have to wear a mask during your appointment, so keep that in mind. They have other procedures that you have to follow, so be sure to familiarize yourself with them! Don't get other patrons sick, thanks! Anyway. I've had two pedicures done. It's very clean and both ladies did a nice job on my feets! The polish lasted a few weeks which was great. I also got 2 gel manis done here by Gia. She is so sweet and talented! My first gel mani by her lasted 3 weeks, no chipping! I always oil my cuticles! She also does some nail art which I'm a big fan of. They don't accept cards so be sure that you pay with Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle! (:

I found my new nail place!! I lived in upstate NY for two years and since moving back to NJ, have been on the lookout for a new nail salon. I found Lavo on Yelp and am so glad I did!! It was super easy to book an appointment through the phone and I got one the same day, but I would definitely call a few days ahead going forward. Christina did my nails- first of all, she is so sweet! She did an amazing job- she is super detail-oriented, gentle, quick, and did exactly what I asked for. I got ANC dip powder ($45) and the oval shape was an additional $5, so it came to $50 excluding the tip. I can be a perfectionist when it comes to my nails, but I'm so impressed that Christina made the ANC is super smooth and perfectly buffed (sometimes ANC can look uneven if not done well), also these are my real nails, no tips for the first time in months!! The cost is definitely worth it to me for the quality, as I've paid a similar amount before at other places for much worse. I'll definitely be back!!

David X. here did a wonderful job! He was so kind to all my request ex: not buffing them too thin, keeping an almond shape even on the super short broken nails. Not a single nip to my cuticles and awesome gel application as to lifting. Thank you for fitting me into the schedule same day and assigning me with David, who was a great conversation and relaxing mani time! This is my first try at a nail salon here in NJ so I'm truly lucky to have found the perfect nail tech this quick. Will definitely continue to book here during my time in the state these next few months!

Been searching for a new nail salon and I hope I found it. Lori took her time to repair my nails and I left happier than expected. I walked in and was able to book a same day appointment. Very clean and friendly. Would've given them 5 stars but they didn't tell me until the end they added $10 because of the more " intensive manicure" not exactly sure what that meant but it would've been more courteous to have let me know as a first time client they wouldn't charge me or let me know before the end of the service. Only accepts cash or Venmo.

Nails by Michael @ Lavo Nail Lounge

I've been wanting to come to Lavo for a while now, after my job moved closer to the location I made the appointment! I love it here - Lanah, Michael, Gia, Susan, David literally everyone here is so nice, friendly and kind!! Michael has been doing my nails since Feb (few months only due to lockdown) and I've always left happy. I recommended a coworker here before I started and she loves it as well! (her tech is Megan). They listen to your needs and wants and will take their time to make it beautiful. Highly highly recommend Lavo!! Please call to schedule an appointment!!

After my first impression of this salon I came back for two fills for my hard gel. I wanted to try a different technician, Both times I sat with Lori who very obviously cared to get me whatever color or design I wanted and tolerated my questions very well. Lori is super pleasant and twice now I've left with beautiful nails. She helped repaired 2 of my nails that started lifting since I waited 4 weeks to get them filled again. Takes a little over an hour and they have a great selection of colors. I highly recommend getting your nails done by Lori. I just don't like how dusty this place is, they run the lotion into your hands while it's still covered in dust.

Inspo

I went in to get gel x and Michael was the one who did my nails. He is so attentive to detail and made my nails look exactly like the inspo picture. The salon itself is also very beautiful and seems like they have a lot of customers.

Colleen S.

I am SO glad I found this place! Gia is my nail tech who is incredibly detail-oriented and creative, but honestly anyone there is good. If you're looking for Gel X they have them here which is what I get. The place is super clean, pretty and relaxing. Their prices are fair and they send reminder texts for appointments which is great for someone forgetful like me :) They have massage chairs in the back for pedicures as well. Highly recommend- but plan in advance as sometimes it can be difficult to get an appointment as they are popular!

The best nail place around, hands down! I have always felt a little uneasy at nail salons due to…read moreanxiety from feeling judged or out of place, but from the moment I stepped in the door, Mai & Hank made me feel so welcomed. Both of them take their time and always stop to ask if you are comfortable and happy with the shape, color, etc. They place extra emphasis on prepping your nails before polish, which is one of the reasons I think my nails last so long. Please keep in mind that it is only the two of them working, so they may not be able to take you on short notice. However, in the past they have kept my name down and called when someone else cancels which I greatly appreciate! Also note that it is located on Main Street so will have to find street parking.

Metuchen Nail Spa is an outstanding nail salon. I visited for the first time after being…read moredisappointed by two other salons in the area. Hank was incredibly accommodating and made time for me before a beach trip, which I really appreciated. I requested a nail design that resembled melting ice cream, and Hank was meticulous in getting every detail just right. He checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was happy before curing each nail. The final result was so creative and perfect for summer. What I didn't expect was that the manicure would end up in a very special photo; my partner proposed that weekend, and the nails ended up being part of a moment I'll never forget. I'm genuinely grateful for the care and attention Hank put into his work. Had I gone to one of the other salons, I know I would've been disappointed. I don't think I would have been as excited to share photos from that day. (It sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure many women can relate.) I highly recommend Metuchen Nail Spa if you're looking for attention to detail and excellent customer service.

I came in for a spa pedicure and chose the Jasmine Pedicure ($55). The service included wax on the bottoms of my feet and a 15-minute massage, but unfortunately, I never received the hot stone massage that was advertised. My nail tech, Linda, was very sweet and kind, but she didn't speak English, which made it difficult to explain what was missing. When I tried to get someone else's attention to help, no one really assisted. On top of that, there were unexpected charges. I had asked for a regular manicure (additional $20), but they started prepping me for a gel manicure instead. I was also told--while already seated--that it would be $10 extra to remove gel polish, which wasn't mentioned at the start. At checkout, they tried to charge me $65 ($55 pedicure + $10 gel removal) even though I didn't receive the hot stone massage. When I explained this, the clerk simply repeated the price and offered for me to get the stones after everything was finished, which made no sense. She then handed me a 10% off coupon, but by then I was frustrated. The salon itself is very clean and the staff seem nice, but be very clear about what service you're getting and the final price before they begin. Otherwise, you may end up with surprise charges or missing parts of your service.
