I've been coming to this nail salon for a while now and it's consistently a great experience. The space is clean, calm, and comfortable, and the staff is always friendly and professional. They do a really nice job with both manicures and pedicures, and they pay close attention to detail without rushing through the service. My nails always come out looking clean, polished, and exactly how I ask. They have a great selection of colors and options, and I never feel pressured to get anything extra. It's a solid, reliable spot that I always recommend to friends in the area. Shoutout to Ashley the owner who is phenomenal and Rich who is also so amazing and always has a smile on his face and friendly attitude! read more

What could improve??? Everything!! They were never deserving of 5 starts but there location made it convenient seeing they are 2 minutes from my house! My last 3 experiences were horrible and each one was worse than the other. They make it very clear that they do not except tips on cards...okay fine some places dont do that... but the have an ATM in the salon and dont tell me to go down the block to the barber shop to use the ATM. 1- one of my pedicures they had a young girl that had no clue what she was doing, she told me yes that the colors come in gel and regular so I could arch my toes and fingers.... When she was about to paint my toes another employee called over and said no that is not for toes so i said ok then lets do white- she didnt understand I said white.. oh and the pedicure chair i sat n was broke and didn't go all the way back and being almost 5'10 my knees were bent and i was extremely uncomfortable. 2- i always call and make an appointment - 3x i have made an appt for a gel fill and a regular pedicure and those 3x they never put in for a pedicure then i tell them i want a pedicure they are scrambling around looking for someone to do a pedicure... my last appt i specifically said more then once when i called about my pedicure... and they were still confused 3- just look at the pictures i have attached, I think that says enough!!!!!!! What is with my middle finger... it looks like i painted it myself, i didnt want them this long, he kept saying i can make them any shorter and he kept saying he cant. Why didnt he cut my cuticles??? Isn't that part of a manicure... let's add that while filing my nails he cut me...so that was fun, aren't you suppose to get a hand massage and lotion... nope not me!! The convenience isn't worth the money- its 68$ not including tip, when i am sitting there i feel like i dont want to tip them... but I'm not like that, i will not be going back i would rather drive further away instead of my nails look like a child has done them.. lastly- the guy there can stop rolling his eyes every time someone talks and maybe not take a cigarette break as my nails are in the UV light. read more

I went twice and did not like it. Both times they were not friendly. I think the owner should go to another salon and see how people are treated there. No one said hello, no one was friendly, and no one said goodbye or thank you or have a nice day. The girl didn't understand my request for a clear coat of polish and it came out pink in the end. Basically I had gel which chipped in four days so I had it taken off and I got a regular manicure with the same color which should have been clear. It just was not an overall good experience, although the salon looked nice. read more

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience:( I had gotten a regular manicure and within two hours the polish started chipping. I called to ask to have the manicure redone at no charge and was given an appointment. However, when I came in for the appt I was told by the owner that they do not guarantee their manicure and if I wanted to redo it I'd have to pay full price again! I was very disappointed!!! I've been getting manicures at different locations for years and the polish never chipped after a few hours! I will not be recommending this salon to my friends and family read more

Clean, relaxing, & great nail art! Never a long wait either. Gets busy, so call ahead & make an appointment. read more

Light Concept Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I have been going to Light Concept Nails for over 15 years, my finger & toe nails always look great. Everyone that works there does great work and makes you feel very comfortable. read more

I use to love coming here but the receptionist with the long blonde hair is so nasty it's not worth it. She's been there about a year now and every time I get her on the phone or see her at the desk it's like someone just peed in her Cheerios. A little customer service goes a long way. I will be canceling my appointment with Jen today because of how nasty she was on the phone with me. Thankfully I have my choice of nail places in the area that won't treat a customer so poorly. I'll spend my money elsewhere. I hope things change one day so I can come back. read more

I have been coming to this place for for almost 8 months. A girl named Aliyah did my nails to start. She was absolutely AMAZING! I loved her and her work. She was fast, and efficient. Unfortunately after only three times of her doing my nails, she left the salon and went to a new one (of course no one from light concept would let me know where she went). I continued coming here, trying new people in hopes I'd find someone who was as good as, or close to as good as Aliyah. I tried multiple times with different people, but no one compared. This last time, though. Wow. I spent a good amount of money to get my nails done by a nice lady there. Her name doesn't matter. One of my nails broke the next day. I was disappointed but this is a common thing that happens after Aliyah left. So I called the salon asking for a fix. The girl who answered the phone was extremely rude, told me to come in but I'd most likely have to wait "a few" minutes. I packed up my 4 year old son, and went in. The same nasty girl on the phone was nasty when I walked in, she acted as if I was an inconvenience and a burden. She asked me if I remembered the color I used on my nails the day before. I didn't know the name or number of the color so I began to look in their very limited book of colors. I couldn't figure out the right one but the girl insisted that one particular color was the one. I could clearly see that was a similar color but not the correct one, but I agreed to use it after 15 minutes of waiting (with my 4 yr old) she directed me to seat number 2 (Ashley's desk). I sat down and received an attitude from her as well letting me know that if I didn't find the color then I must have come back to the wrong salon. As she was doing my nails, she also was extremely rude and unprofessional. I asked her if she owned the place and she laughed and said that she was one of the many partners to the company. Joking that they were "like McDonald's, a very big company". I laughed along. She did not put a top coat on my newly fixed nail when she said I was finished. I asked her to put a top coat on to make it shiny like the rest and she nastily said that she did and insisted they all looked the same. So not only was my new nail a different color, but it now didn't even have a top coat of gel to make it shiny. I told her that she lost a good customer and that I wouldn't be coming back. She laughed at me and said "okay goodbye". Instead of making sure I was satisfied she made me feel like my business didn't matter to her anyway. Needless to say; I will not be returning there again. I am writing this in hopes that anyone who it thinking about trying this salon, considers my review along with the many other negative ones on here. I tried and tried. But once the owner disrespected me and treated me that way, I decided I'd let others know that they do not cherish their customers like me, who spent a very large amount of money getting gel fills, gel pedicures and full face waxes. At this salon you are a just another person with money. I highly suggest reading reviews and definitely do not give this place your business. SAVE YOUR MONEY. read more

Light Concept Nails - Broken nail, one day after getting them done. - Nail Salons Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

my nails were uneven and chunky. They rushed me to pick out a color and made me take the hook to the table.and she hurt my nails

I went here for a fill in and pedicure , the women doing my nails was rude & stand-offish, as she filing my nails she basically trying to break my fingers . To add insult to Injury she made my toe nails round instead of square. Worst part- I specially make sure I can put a regular nail-posh over their pink gel acrylic color and instead of giving me the color to match my toenails she put it back on the shelf since she was in a rush. Then annoyed told me she's go back and put it on me while rolling her eyes ( crazy bc she knew to bring the color to the table ? I even joked about being so over the pink gel) I understand I was there last appointment of the day at 5pm but if they weren't in the mood to fulfill my request fill in & pedi request they could of said no, & I would of spent the $60 days else where, gotten what I wanted without an attitude. read more

Definitely my most favorite salon to go to. I get acrylics with gel color on top and they have always been beautifully done. Ashley, the owner, pays great attention to details on both your nails and the salon cleanliness. Would definitely recommend to all my friends read more

Light Concept Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I want to start off by saying I have been to this salon many times. The employees are always so pleasant and I really do appreciate their work. However I was there yesterday and had an appointment at 12. Arrived 5 minutes early. The 12:15 came in right behind me and got seen before me. I actually ended up having the same lady who did her pedicure. As if that wasn't bad enough I was getting my nails done by a really sweet employee who was going to do a really pretty flower design on my nails. The owner Ashley then came and had her go to someone else and took over doing my nails. The "flowers" Ashley gave me don't even look like flowers, but fireworks with a dot in the middle. I was there for just under 2 hours and couldn't wait any longer to tell her I didn't like them and have her redo because as it was I felt rushed at that point when she took the other girl off my nails and who I was more pleased with than when the owner. I'm going away until Tuesday and my birthday is Thursday. Was really hoping to have cute nails for this trip but I guess I'll be hiding them in gloves. read more

I will never go here again. I gone with my wife and got a pedicure. I don't even want to mentioned the ladies name but it was an horrible experience. The lady rushed the whole thing. She had a nasty attitude...I heard her tell her colleague that she didn't want to do my pedicure. However we got there early and it filled up quick. She barely did anything. Just an overall bad experience read more

Went to this place for a pedicure. The girl (Amy) did the pedicure very fast, and looked annoyed all the while she was doing it. The polish started chipping and cracking within the first week. I was not satisfied and will not be going back. read more

This place sucks. My pedicure chipped the same exact day, and I felt so rushed and just so unsatisfied with my pedicure. No wonder why they tried to push a $40 gel pedicure, probably because they know their polish is crap. Horrible job, sides of my toes aren't even painted and I will never be coming back here. read more

I've been going here for I'd say 2 years at least. I use Ashley, who is the owner and she does an awesome job. However, in the last year they got a new receptionist and she is horrible. I don't even want to call to make an appointment because I don't want to talk to her. She never seems to have the time or day I want, almost like she just doesn't want to give you what you ask for. She is not friendly and very awkward. And not only that, I feel like ever since covid, while they have been doing a great job with cleanliness and accommodating everyone, it is more about them getting you out as fast as possible so they can make as much money as possible. They rush and have been doing a bad job. My gel nails always chip within a week. That coupled with the nasty receptionist, is why I'm changing salons. read more

I absolutely love the staff!!! They go out of there way to assure your happiness! I've been coming for years and NOT ONCE WAS I DISAPPOINTED!!!! I refer them to anybody I know to go get their nails done there!!!! Thank You Light Concept Nails for years of outstanding service! read more

Every time I go and request Ashley she does a amazing job there prices are also very reasonable especially since they do amazing job doing my nails every week and always friendly and talking to customers. It's also the best when they remember you from a week ago. :) read more

Light Concept Nails - Done by Ashley at LCN - Nail Salons Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I went to LCN for the first time on Thursday. David did a new set of LCN he is fantastic, he has a permanent customer in me. A fabulous pedicure also. GREAT! read more

My daughter has been getting her nails done at this salon for years. Recently her tips were not adhering and she was going back 2-3 times a week. I called to speak to the manager Ashley and was hung up on. I called back and was told the manager would call me. This never occurred. I went to the salon with my daughter and Ashley was very rude and made excuses as to why the nails were not adhering. She did not offer to do her nails again and just said "Here's your money back." I was happy for the refund, but disappointed by the rude service. read more

I've been coming here for over 3 years and won't go anywhere else! The owner is such a sweetheart as long with the entire staff. I always go to Aleah but when she's away I've tried other technicians and have always been happy! Very clean and organized as well. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for 8 years. After many years of bouncing around to different salons that were not exactly quite right, I finally found light concept nails. Ashley - the owner- does such a perfect, detail oriented job on my nails that I can go for 5 to 6 weeks without anything breaking. We joked that I need to come in more than that, but her work is so outstanding that I don't have to!!! The salon is clean, the girls are all friendly, and they have amazing pedicure chairs. They always have to be customer as a priority, and they don't ever do the whole sales pressure thing to try to get you to buy more. Every business accept feedback on what they can improve, and the salon is no different. They do a great job, and it's always a good experience !!!!! read more

I love this salon. I have been going to Ashley for more than 10 years. I moved about 45 min away and still made sure I came here bc No one else compared. She does beautiful work. My grandmother goes to Ashley as well. We have never been disappointed.. she will always make sure we leave happy. One happy and loyal customer right here!! ‍ read more

Honestly, the worst. For a while, I did go here regularly for gel fills. However, they have gone downhill. For a while, I kept having nails chip/break/my French look crappy way too fast... I tried brushing it off as having bad luck (because I worked right near this place so it was convenient) but I had two occasions in particular that really ended my "relationship" with this place: 1. Started getting pedicures and my big toe nail broke from stubbing my toe. The girl put acrylic on it to make it look normal and at first, I appreciated it. The next time I went back, I noticed it cracking/lifting so I asked that she removed it and she told me not to worry, blah blah blah, and filed it down instead. I figured she knew what she was doing, but all of a sudden, I had a fungus in that nail. Ew! So upsetting. 2. I went in for a new set of nails by my regular girl, Ti, the day before my wedding. She did a pedi (my French smudged before I left). It was sub par. We talked about it being my wedding and all as she did my nails and when I left (was rushing around getting things ready to leave for my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner) I didn't realize they were chunky, uneven, and terribly shaped! Here, the day before my wedding, I had to go back. I went to the guy up front who fixed them, but she didn't even make eye contact with me. Waste of time and totally unacceptable. The gel was WAVY! Even the guy who tried fixing them was upset by the bad job done by her. read more

This is my nail salon David is the best nail Tec in the world . I am a bad client I don't go every two weeks but now I have to. See you in 2 weeks I recamend Light Nail Concepts to every one of my friends . You guys Rock . read more

When I do walk in and they give me a girl who has hardly done nails I don't mind but when she messes up every single time, I get frustrated. When I ask her do things that I like or how I want my nails she gets mad and keeps going. So therefore I either go and ask for someone or just go somewhere else. Not worth the aggravation read more

I've been going here for a few months now to get a gel fill, it is cheaper than New York & it's a clean, friendly salon! It's an hour drive from my apartment but it's right next to my best friends house so it's not bad at all! I've been trying a few different people at this salon & I have found the best who's name is Aliyah! She is soo good at doing gel nails & I now won't use anyone but her. It is hard to find a good nail salon but when you do it's a keeper! Def recommend. Good luck! read more

Used alight concepts for months and they were great but lately I feel like it's quantity over quality and they are very busy rushing to get people done. My daughter and I both have gel tips and get them maintained every 2 weeks but she now has fungus on her nails that they told her not to worry about and didn't treat and our nails life very quickly. Trying somewhere new read more

Not a fan of this salon. First they use the name "Light Concept Nails" (which is trade marked by LCN) making you think it's an actual LCN salon when in fact they use sub par products. My nails looked thick, uneven and sloppy. My pedicure wasn't even good. Very disappointed won't be back. read more

I started coming here the beginning of the year, received a gift certificate, great reason to give this salon a try. My certificate was used months ago and I'm still coming here. Always a good experience, staff has been friendly and attentive, easy to make appointments. Enjoy the pedicures, relaxing spa, like that they're open Sunday's, convenient hours. read more

Spa pedicure:$40. Best spa pedicure in the area for the money. Clean salon. 15 minute massage. Nails perfectly polished. Will go again.

This place is horrible! Not only are the workers rude but I am convinced that they have clue what they are doing! I got my nails done by them 5 weeks ago with in 3 days two nails had fallen off. I went back there and they fixed them for free. I decided to give them another shot and went to get a fill about a week ago now I am sitting here again with the acrylic chiping and nails coming off. So this makes me having to get my nails done 4 times in less than 6 weeks unreal. I will never use this place for anything every again. I'm highly dissatisfied. Oh and not only did they do a horrible job on my nails they over charged me by charging 47 dollars for a fill and basic paint with a lil design on them ( nothing special) I'll be going to a nail salon where they actually know what they are doing! read more

First of all, I am not one to complain. So, it has to actually be a completely terrible experience for me to say anything. With that being said, I will never go here again and I strongly advice others to do the same. Absolutely awful experience. I was rushed the whole time. The woman who did my pedicure, Aliyah, completely skipped a step in the process. Even when I asked her if scrubbing my feet came with it she said yes and continued to ignore it. Then when she did it (out of annoyance of me asking again) she did it for 2 seconds per foot and quickly rinsed it off. Then when I asked the manager, Ashley, about it she became very defensive of Aliyah. She began defending components of Aliyah that had nothing to do with the situation. Ashley not only refused to give me half off, but she also handled this situation extremely unprofessionally. She even lied to me stating that she was just a manager and not the owner. She undermined my complaints and presented a strong attitude towards every single thing that I said. After she messed up my nails again and ignored to fix it, I left the store. Wish I could give this place no stars if I could. Everyone I encountered was beyond rude and unprofessional. read more

I went here for 3 years on and off and I always went to Aliyah she was always very nice and tried her best to do the designs I wanted.. after a while she would give me an attitude for simple things I asked for so then I wouldn't go back for a few months and I would try other places but I always ended up back to her. So just recently I went in and asked for a faded French and showed her a picture and she said I didn't need a coat of pink under the white airbrush so I asked her if she could just do one nail so I could see what it looked like.. so she did it and after a few minutes I said ok just do all of them.. I really wanted a coat of pink under it but she wouldn't do it.. so I get them done her way and I pay and leave and gave her a tip.. I called back 2 weeks later and the receptionist says to me ummmm she doesn't want to do your nails anymore .. and I said are u sure you have the right person?? She says yes and I'm like uh ok can u tell me why??? She says because Aliyah doesn't think she can please you anymore.. so she basically had the receptionist do her dirty work for her because she was too much of pussy to tell me herself.. and to lose a customer over one coat of pink polish that she wouldn't t even do for me is such bad business and she really needs a reality check! Get over yourself Aliyah!! All customers are to you is dollar signs..they pump you out of there in 20 mins they could care less about details or perfection.. this place is a joke! They should be reported for how filthy their place is and how rude they are to customers!! Don't go here!! Save yourself!!! The owners are the rudest people I've ever met in my life they should be shut down! You people are pathetic and need to learn how to treat your customers! You should be ashamed of yourselves!! read more
