I absolutely love this place. They require you come in and clean your shoe bottoms ( no germs) . Li da is very sweet and so is the rest of the staff. the place is spotless and you get tea. The gel manicure last ed a couple of weeks. the gel pedicure still looks fantastic. Pro tip: Do not park in the lot across the salon. read more

I recently visited Lotus Salon for a pedicure. The pedicurist was very friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was just average for me. I was disappointed with the foot and heel scrub, as I didn't feel it was thorough enough. I also wasn't very comfortable with the area designated for drying pedicures, and I found the salon to be somewhat cluttered, which took away from the relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for. Another challenge was the lack of a dedicated parking area. Finding street parking was very difficult and added unnecessary stress before my appointment. While the staff was kind and professional, there are several areas that could be improved to enhance the overall customer experience. read more

I decided to try Lotus after my regular nail tech had left her business. I heard so many great things about Linda and the shop...and she did not disappoint. She truly brought my nails back to life. Her artistry is so cool to watch, and she made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Ahhhhh That's the feeling when I left Lotus Bo Pha Nails. Linda was so very nice, professional, and calming. The environment says relax and stay for a while from the staff to the green tea they offer. Make sure you book an appointment it me and my family were lucky enough to be accepted as a walk in. I will definitely go back. The only downer the parking is limited as you will need to find street parking but all else was AMAZING read more

I had the most amazing experience at Lotus Bo Pha Nails! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. This was my second time coming here, and once again, everything exceeded my expectations. What truly made my visit exceptional was Linda. She is incredibly patient and so gentle with her work -- it's clear she genuinely cares about making sure her clients are comfortable and happy with the results. Linda took her time with my nails, making sure every detail was perfect without ever rushing. I really appreciated how she explained each step and listened to exactly what I wanted. My nails turned out absolutely beautiful -- even better than I imagined! If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated with kindness, professionalism, and care, I highly recommend booking with Linda. I can't wait to come back! (the french nails were from the first visit and the green ombre is from my visit today!) read more

After my first visit, I knew Linda was the only manicurist I was ever going to go in New Jersey. Because she can only fit maybe 5 other customers at a time, her salon is never that scene of dozens of noisy people. You get personalized attention. She cares about nail health, she's warm and personable, and she's really talented! I really trust and I love my visits. read more

Excellent service. Received a manicure and pedicure. Entire team was personable. Loved my nails.

I visited this salon after not being able to get back to my usual nail tech. I called and was told what time to come in the same day. I arrived right as Linda was finishing up with her previous client. I was impressed with the set the lady was leaving with and felt reassured that I would love my nails once done. Linda was careful and paid attention to detail. I will be returning soon! read more

Linda is a truly skilled artist--her work is impeccable! I always leave happy with beautiful nails.

Ms. Linda is amazing! My nails are absolutely gorgeous. Ms. Linda is such a sweetheart and so accommodating. She takes her time with each client to give them the best work possible. She also provides such a clean, and comfortable environment. Definitely would recommend coming here to get your nails done! read more

It's been a journey finding a quality nail tech since moving to NJ. Linda at Lotus was awesome! She is very sweet and communicative. She runs and operates the salon nearly on her own, so she highly appreciates clear direction on your wants & needs. She did a great job on my white sparkle SNS manicure. She was very knowledgeable on natural nails as well, which I was thankful. She suggested the best shape to prevent breakage, and did not use the electric file too much either! Almost a week in, and the color is still perfect. Highly recommend trying her out if you haven't been impressed elsewhere like me. read more

great personalities but very over priced. prices do not make any sense, they charge for everything you can imagine. quality of nails did not even match price. they were very nice and the vibe was cool but the quality and price did not match up.

I have never left a review on Yelp which just goes to show how happy I am with my service. I had previously gotten UV Gel done at another a salon a few weeks ago.

I've only been here twice, the first time I got a gel manicure with design, the second just a pedicure. Let me tell you ! Linda is amazing and so sweet. Not just her but everyone else that works in this salon are just so sweet, they make you feel like you're part of a family ! And as an Asian, I grew up keeping my shoes at the door, they do the same here and I find that little tidbit so cute ! Appointments can easily be made via text and what not and just my overall experience with lotus has been swell. I've recommended it to other people and they seem to love it too ! Can't wait to keep coming back here in the future. This obviously isn't my full set but here we go read more

10/10 experience! I've been getting acrylic nails for 15 years and wanted to end an era and work on the health of my natural nails. Looked up "Builder Gel" on yelp and was surprised to see only a handful of salons offering this service in all of NJ but delighted to see that lotus was one of them- less than 10 minutes from where I work! Linda accommodated me same day which I was grateful for since she is by appointment only. Once I arrived it was obvious why. The way to describe the entire experience was positive vibes. Lotus is a small salon with incredible attention to detail: Plants, couch, art, decor, ambient lighting- feeling like you are at a friends home or a yoga studio on a Sunday. The best surprise was her adorable Yorkie Bella greeting me at the door. It took nearly an hour to soak off and remove my acrylics (which is expected) which her technician Maria helped with. She put a warm weighted compress on my shoulders that felt amazing to relax. Maria was so gentle and focused on the integrity of my nails underneath. Linda completed my builder gel set and told me about her journey becoming a salon owner. She worked hard to follow her dream and take the risk, pursuing her "passion to make people feel beautiful." She did exactly that, I am in love with how natural my nails look. I will absolutely be returning and recommending her business. So grateful I stumbled upon here!! read more

I received a beautiful pedicure in this clean and comfy salon. It has been two or three weeks and the polish is still perfect. (I opted for regular polish.) Call first. They are by appointment only, but will fit you in if they can. Be advised: Sunday's are cash or Zelle and the like only. Other days they take cards. read more

Made an appointment on Sunday and was lucky to get a spot (last appointment). The reviews were great and I felt confident that I was going to get a proper mani pedi, no gel or dip as my nails are sensitive. A basic mani pedi with standard nail polish in my opinion requires skill. Linda the owner and technician was very professional, extremely careful and clean (one person at a time) considering covid. Everything she used on me was new or packaged. And even though I was the last appointment she treated me like I was the first! Lovely salon and lovely conversation. It's now Tuesday and not one dent or chip. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This is a by appointment nail salon which is great for those of us that have a limited amount of time in our day. The owner Linda is a GEM. I contacted her through yelp yesterday morning asking for an appointment and she was able to accommodate the same day a few hours later. I got a gel pedicure and regular manicure. Linda greeted me at the door and sanitized my shoes. We then started on my service right away and I was out of there in record time. You can tell that Linda enjoys what she does . She takes her time with you and we had great conversation. She has a wonderful vibe . The ship is comfortable and she is very stylish. Try her out you will be happy with the results and the experience. Linda is also looking for an experience nail technician to join her business. I'm hoping she finds someone as dedicated as she is to join her but if you're that person contact her ! read more

I have been coming to Linda for the past couple of months and I am so glad I found her. She is very busy so I feel fortunate to be able to get my appointments squeezed in, but you must reserve on time. Her work is very high quality, she uses the best of everything and takes pride in her work. I normally didn't get designs because I just didn't trust peoples execution but she always surprises me with her own designs or by replicating something I see and using it as inspiration. It's no cheep but you get what you pay for. read more

The availability for their schedule is terrible I understand being appointment based only but not having available time frame three weeks out is annoying maybe hire more people. But who am I maybe she likes having small business only time for the same customers read more

Well, I hoping to post another positive review but unfortunately, that is not the case. -the day after I had my nails done, the paint on my nails began to peel right off. I washed dishes briefly and I don't work in a space where my hands would be regularly wet. I informed her and she said I could come back in for a fix but due to my hectic schedule and her limited availability, I was unable to pop back in. After spending $100 plus, offering a fix or not, the paint shouldn't peel off. -Linda is a one woman shop..literally. Her ex mom in law does help but she isn't qualified and every step of the way, Linda has to give her directions. She is severely understaffed & can't keep employees in her salon. Which means if you're the next person to be seen, you'll be held up. Just as the lady who was after me, who had to wait & watch Linda guide her mom in law. -I had an appointment but unfortunately I was ill. So I decided to reschedule the appointment. Once again, Linda is the only one there so appointments are slim to none. & she will try to squeeze you in but that means she will be doing multiple things at once while you wait. Since I had to reschedule, I lost the $20 deposit. Trying to make another appointment, I'd have to send another $20. That's $40 on top of what could run up to $100+ (hands only) and a tip. She will never be short of customers because I witnessed, in person, how often her phone rings and she has to turn people away, while people are waiting for JUST her. -Although her work is good and she pays attention to detail, her pricing structure (she charges for EVERYTHING, literally), lack of availability, "eh" customer service, I wouldn't recommend going to her until she has proper staffing and availability. read more

Came for my first time visit and I Love how my nails came out. SNS Manicure and gel pedi. Linda is a wonderful and kind women, she is extremely hard working. There is a reason why it's walk in only, the wait line would be down the street. I've never had SNS , and during my visit Linda explained every step of the way what she was doing and what to expect as she prepped and went through the process of my manicure. They came out so beautiful and been having so many compliments. Service, quality and customer care is exactly what you'd get when you visit this shop. read more

I want to start off by saying I am 33 years old and have never been a "regular" at a nail place before. Honestly I'd always just go to wherever had the time available to fit with when I had time off from work, and wherever was cheaper. Ever since the first time I've been here though... I haven't gone elsewhere. I will literally schedule weeks in advance to ensure I can have my spot to work with my work schedule, and never have I been happier with my nails! Yes - there is a $20 venmo deposit. It's a small intimate salon, and it guarantees your appointment. I understand the apprehensiveness, and my first time I was a bit as well - but the $20 is applied towards your total, so it's not an added cost. Linda is great - not only as a nail technician, but she's just great overall! Makes the whole experience so enjoyable, and after coming here a while you end up feeling like not only friends, but family. I'm going out of town for a couple of weeks, and it coincides with when I have to get my fill done, and I'm dreading having to go somewhere that won't be nearly as well done as she does haha. I'm just bummed I didn't take a bunch of pictures of all the awesome designs she's done for me - will start taking them now, so I can update/upload in the future :) read more

Was treated with the best service I have had in a very long time. Would definitely recommend to family and friends to come!

I recently went to this salon for a french gel manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow wax. Linda did a wonderful job and really took her time with me. Since it's appointment only, it's not crowded so the salon has a very relaxing atmosphere which is a nice touch. Linda did an excellent job with my nails and I'm very pleased with how she waxed my eyebrows! I'm very impressed by the excellent quality of service here so I will definitely be returning here :) read more

Linda was efficient, detailed, and thorough. I arrived 30 mins early for my appointment but she was glad to accommodate me. I requested ombré which costs $20 more than the usual gel ($35) but was totally justified considering the detail and time it requires. I also appreciated how clean the salon is. Your shoe bottoms are sprayed before entering, there is a place to wash your hands, and I saw Linda spray each tool she used on me with alcohol. I will be returning! read more

Welp Yelp... Linda was amazing again! I had a major nail emergency after an abysmal job of 3 nails tipped, a UV gel overlay, and round shaping done at the nail salon in Newport Mall. Tragic! But that's what I get for getting my nails done someplace "on the way". It irked my soul so bad, I made it 7 days before I reached out and called Linda to please fix it. AND FIX IT SHE DID! She removed my unintentional bubble looking nails, reshaped them to round from the... left-of-center mostly almond shape, and applied a builder gel that enhanced the strength of my natural nail without the 3mm of gel the person at the other place did. I am super particular about the level of quality of services I receive. The excellence I get with Linda's work have made me a permanent client. I should have followed my first mind and called Linda because she has a gift with nails. I will never stray again! Beautiful work! read more

Linda is my favorite nail technician! & Lotus Bo Pha is my go-to place for anything spa related! I mean they do it all! From mani-pedis to eyebrows to whatever spa needs you could want, they do it!

I have truly never had a problem here and I 10/10 recommend! read more
