    My favorite SNS color. It's a week old. I wore this all through my pregnancy and beyond. I want to be buried with this color.
    M J.

    I realize I've been coming here every two weeks for three years for SNS and pedicures and never left a review. The first thing you should know is that you're better off making an appointment than walking in. Long gone are the days that you just walk into nail salons for service. It's unmanageable. They accommodate when they can, but save a headache and call for an appointment. Appointments help them manage their clientele and their revenue. Be mindful of that especially during this time when small businesses are failing. Flor is my main technician but I'd place a broken pinky finger in either Flor or Isabel's care. They're just that wonderful. It's a Latina-owned salon completely capable of every service any other nail salon in Newark can do. Good pedicures too with stone massage. The difference is that you're getting consistent work. The salon has a ton of regulars (including me) who are loyal customers that would happily pay more than their very fair prices to maintain this level of attention and care. I am a SNS junkie, using up their supply of glitter powder. You can look at my other reviews and see that I've gone through some things with other nail salons, so you can imagine my joy to have a place to frequent on a regular. I've included pictures of my nails over the past few years. Parking in the area okay, but watch out for the parking authority - they're always on the hunt.

    The quality of this place has gone down recently. I haven't been feeling it lately . I feel like my nails have been rushed and the SNS powder has been sloppily applied, and in turn they have been breaking way more. As I mentioned in the last post, the pedicures aren't that good and now that my nails haven't been done well the last few times, I'm pretty much over it: I've had my SNS manicure chip the next day and numerous nail break. Then I stopped getting SNS powered and tried switching to regular gel and my manicure chipped a day lat. I went somewhere else today and the SNS manicure was way better. The woman took her time and really paid attention to detail. UPDATE: I had a last minute trip and I need my nails done right away so I went back here only because it was and emergency and I didn't have time to go elsewhere. I was hoping after some time away then maybe they returned to how good they used to be. But no.....this time I asked for them to add rhinestones on my nails. I paid $1 for each 2 rhinestones. When I tell you I went on my trip and by the next day EVERY SINGLE RHINESTONE HAD FELL OFF. I paid $65 with a $15 tip and my nails were completely ruined by the next day. And since I was out of town I couldn't even have them fix it. Also three nails broke. I hadn't had a nail break since I stopped going there. Won't be going back.

    Well done gel mani for $30 in 30 mins... I couldn't ask for more! Plus I got to support a Latina owned and operated business which I appreciated even more. You won't go wrong with this place; great vibe and super clean!

    Chipped nail and polish 01/22

    I got my nails done on Jan 22nd and had gotten the dip powder on my natural nails. Well unfortunately I had to return to fix my nails due to the clear nail polish chipping. So I returned Wednesday the 26th of January and we'll here we are on the 31st and my having the same issue. The nail polish is not sticking and has chipped once again. It's nowhere near me needing a fill-in so it's just a little inconvenient to have to go back up there for the same issue. Maybe they should change the products they use so this won't happen again for future customers. Other than that my pedicure came out great and my eyebrows!

    I called and scheduled a gel mani and pedi for 5:30. When I arrived a few moments early, I was taken back right away and on my home by 6:30. Staff was super friendly and the establishment is incredibly clean.

    Not sure if this is a bad thing or if it was bad timing... I waiting an hour to be serviced but it was Friday during lunch hour so...I'll blame it on timing. The salon is very quiet and the workers are polite. I was immediately greeted upon entering however, I'm accustomed to workers moving faster. As a result, I spent a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes at the salon...WAY too much time. I will return but only with an appointment.

    Cutest gel manicure I've ever had!
    Ashley G.

    This place is cool. I got a gel pedicure and manicure and it was beautiful. However the gel they used really destroyed my nail beds. They were beyond weak in a way I've never seen them. Idk what kind of gel they use but be careful. It took me almost 2/3 months to get them back. Also you can only tip by cash so I had to come back so that was annoying.

    I came here with an appointment for both gel manicure and pedicure. I really enjoyed both. Everything was super clean. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I recommend calling to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

    So I've been wanting (needing) to get a gel manicure for a minute. I love the look of freshly manicured nails and commit to doing them myself, but of course they don't last. So I finally got myself together, found a good place online and went to try it out. First, chic nails is conveniently located in downtown Newark on Halsey st. As a Newark resident , I love the revitalization happening downtown and was glad to find a place so close. The business is clean, orderly and punctual. At first, the owner (I'm assuming) Isabel told me the first available appointment wasn't until 12:30. I was a bit disappointed, but could respect it because hopefully that meant they respected your time and didn't have you sitting all day. Fortunately for me, one of the women getting service decided to cut her services short because she wasn't feeling well and they were able to squeeze me in. My manicurist, Isabel, was polite, delicate and didn't go at my cuticles like she was carving a thanksgiving turkey. My nails came out lovely and The service was quick and affordable. They even gave me an amazing bottle of organic hand lotion! I kindly scheduled my follow up appointment on my way out!

    This was my VERY FIRST time at this location, I looked all over NJ being from New York I did not know where I should get my nails done, but the reviews for this shop was good so I gave it a shot and honestly I am very pleased with my visit. The service was great, the ladies were nice and polite and my nails came out amazing, anytime I need my nails done in NJ I will definitely be supporting this business. It's a cute, small business that is very well-maintained. I highly recommend!

    Why do people leave great, positive reviews and then just 4 stars?! This is definitely a 5 star place! The best nail salon in this area by far. But definitely call for an appointment.

    Shaylah R.

    I went today, it was fast service by appointment. I got gel pedicure and SNS on my nails. They use hot rocks and hot towels and scrubs for pedicure. For hands after doing put on the top coat. She put oil and and rubbed with a hot towel then after massaged my hands for 2-3 minutes with lotion. Affordable and comfortable

    Is this a black owned nail shop?

    No. It's brown owned though - the owner & all the women working in the shop are Latina.

    How much is a fill in? A full set? A gel mani? And a pedicure?

    There's a picture with the pricing in the photos.

    Flor & Isabel do a phenomenal job, the only issue is they are soo popular it's hard to get an appointment.

It is the only place I come to get my nails done. To make this long story very short my nail technician was accused of putting acrylic on one of my broken nails... she did not. My nail was short but not short to where it needed saving. I had to show the owner my hands flipped over so she can see that there was no acrylic and she still didn't believe it. I was extremely upsetting considering I've been a loyal client and never had an issue paying anything. As to no surprise my nail tech is no longer working with the company. I love the nail techs here but truthfully the older women that work at the front desk suck! It should be embarrassing that as an owner I need to flip my hand over to prove to you something that was already stated by your employee and your costumer. Now I don't want to entirely bash the girls at the front desk because there are 2 young ladies that are extremely nice and attentive to me when I'm there.

I specifically booked a Botox treatment with Zoila, the owner of the salon, since her name was listed among other stylists in the booking app. However, when I arrived, although she greeted me and explained the different treatments, she did not actually perform the service. Instead, someone else with less experience handled it, and I could tell because they kept asking Zoila questions during the process. For the price of $447, I expected the service to be done by the professional I booked with, especially the salon owner. The final disappointment came with the haircut -- I requested a butterfly cut, which Zoila herself did, and unfortunately the results speak for themselves (see attached photos for transparency). Overall, I left feeling let down and frustrated. When you pay a premium price, you should receive the experience and expertise you booked for.

The so-called professional, Pam, waxed and burned my armpit, leaving me in a terrible situation. I usually go to my trusted lady in NYC, but being in the Newark area visiting my siblings, I thought I'd give this Brazilian salon a try since I was desperate for a quick treatment. Little did I know, it would turn into a nightmare. From the beginning, I should have realized something was wrong when Pam didn't bother cleaning the area before applying the wax directly to my skin. It felt strange and too hot, but I didn't say anything, assuming she knew what she was doing. I paid, left, and thought that was it. The next day, my armpit started burning intensely, and I couldn't even put my arm down. It turned extremely red and painful. I thought it might be an allergic reaction, so I applied allergy cream and hoped it would get better. Instead, it got worse with each passing day. When I finally managed to get in touch with them and informed them about my horrible experience, they were apologetic and suggested I traveled to Newark and pick up from them another cream. However, being in NYC while they were in NJ made it challenging for me to visit them again. I sent them pictures of my injured armpit, and they assured me it wouldn't scar and offered to reimburse me if I chose to buy the cream myself around the area to use it. Despite applying the cream they suggested, there was no real improvement. I decided to seek help from someone I trusted, and they confirmed that my underarm was indeed burned due to the salon's lack of experience and complete disregard for proper procedures. Frustrated, I reached out to the salon, requesting at least a reimbursement for the waxing service, but they ignored my request. I persisted in contacting them, but they left me on read. Finally, the receptionist (not the owner) called to apologize and offer me my money back. This establishment's behavior is deplorable, showing a clear lack of respect for their customers. They view people as mere sources of income, not as individuals with feelings and concerns. I strongly advise staying away from this place. Even now, two weeks later, I am still dealing with the painful consequences of my burned underarm. It hurts, prevents me from working out due to sweating, and I can't wear sleeveless tops because it looks terrible. This has significantly impacted my enjoyment of the summer and the sun. Take this as a warning - avoid this salon at all costs. They are not worthy of your trust or your patronage.
